The Official Committee of Tort Claimants (“TCC”) in the chapter 11 cases of PG&E 

Corporation and Pacific Gas and Electric Company (the “Debtors” or “PG&E”) hereby submits 

its conditional consent to the Debtors’ Application Pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §§ 363(b) and 105(a) for 

Authority to Enter Into, Perform Under and Make Payments Under Certain Consulting Contracts 

with McKinsey & Company, Inc. United States (“McKinsey”) (Doc. No. 3919), and respectfully 

states as follows:

1. The TCC is informed and believes that McKinsey performed certain consulting 

services for the Debtors prior to the filing of these chapter 11 cases.

2. The TCC is further informed and believes that the Debtors may hold claims against 

McKinsey based on its prepetition services. Pursuant to the Debtors’ and 

Shareholder Proponents’ Joint Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization Dated 

December 12, 2019 [Dkt. No. 5101] certain of the Debtors’ claims and causes of 

action will be transferred to a resolution trust for the benefit of tort claimants.

3. The TCC does not object to the Debtors’ retention of McKinsey for post-petition 

services, provided that any such order authorizing the post-petition retention or 

approving payments to McKinsey pursuant to such order shall not be construed to 

bar any claims against McKinsey arising out of or in connection with prepetition 

services rendered to the Debtors on the basis of res judicata or any other doctrine or 

theory.
