**Item 8.01 Other Events.**

On September 19, 2025, California Senate Bill ("SB") 254 (the "2025 Wildfire Legislation") became effective upon signature by the Governor of California. Among other things, the 2025 Wildfire Legislation establishes the Wildfire Fund Continuation Account (the "Continuation Account"), which is designed to provide additional liquidity to reimburse catastrophic wildfire-related claims incurred by large California electric investor-owned utilities ("IOUs"), including San Diego Gas & Electric Company ("SDG&E"), a subsidiary of Sempra, if the existing fund established pursuant to Assembly Bill ("AB") 1054 (the "Wildfire Fund") is depleted. IOUs that only distribute gas such as Southern California Gas Company, another subsidiary of Sempra, are not eligible to participate in the Wildfire Fund or the Continuation Account.

The 2025 Wildfire Legislation preserves key elements of AB 1054 and its companion bill AB 111 (collectively, the "2019 Wildfire Legislation"), including cost recovery standards and requirements, a cap on liability in the event of a finding of imprudence by the California Public Utilities Commission ("CPUC"), and continued access to wildfire claims liquidity through the new Continuation Account. These aspects of the 2019 Wildfire Legislation are described under "Wildfire Fund" in <u>[Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements](https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0001032208/000103220825000012/sre-20241231.htm#fact-identifier-2632)</u> in Sempra's and SDG&E's jointly filed 2024 <u>[Annual Report on](https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0001032208/000103220825000012/sre-20241231.htm)[Form 10-K](https://www.sec.gov/ix?doc=/Archives/edgar/data/0001032208/000103220825000012/sre-20241231.htm)</u>, which description is incorporated herein by reference and modified with respect to the 2025 Wildfire Legislation and Continuation Account, as applicable, by the descriptions in this Current Report on Form 8-K. Key elements of the 2025 Wildfire Legislation, including those that build upon or otherwise differ from the 2019 Wildfire Legislation, include, among others:

▪ Establishment of the Continuation Account – The 2025 Wildfire Legislation establishes the Continuation Account, a new state-administered account with up to $18 billion of additional liquidity for the Wildfire Fund. The Continuation Account will become operative if (i) within 15 days after the effective date of the 2025 Wildfire Legislation (or by October 4, 2025), all of California's large electric IOUs elect to participate in the account, and (ii) prior to December 31, 2028, either (a) the Wildfire Fund's administrator projects that the original Wildfire Fund will be depleted, or (b) a participating electric IOU notifies the Wildfire Fund's administrator that it anticipates more than $1 billion in eligible claims in a single coverage year for one or more wildfires that ignite after the effective date of the 2025 Wildfire Legislation. SDG&E intends to participate in the Continuation Account and submit its notice of such election to the CPUC by the 15-day deadline.

Assuming the Continuation Account becomes operative, it would be capitalized with a combination of ratepayer and electric IOU shareholder contributions. Ratepayer contributions totaling $9 billion would be financed through new bonds to be issued by the California Department of Water Resources and secured by the extension of an existing Wildfire Fund-related non-bypassable ratepayer charge from 2036-2045, subject to a determination by the CPUC that the extension is just and reasonable. Electric IOU shareholder contributions totaling $5.1 billion would be obtained through fixed annual contributions of $300 million from 2029 through 2045, plus an additional $3.9 billion in contingent shareholder contributions payable in annual installments of $780 million if the Wildfire Fund's administrator determines there is additional need, subject to a potential ratepayer credit of 50% of the amount of any remaining contingent contribution installments if the Wildfire Fund's administrator terminates the Continuation Account prior to their collection. SDG&E's proportionate share of the aggregate shareholder contribution amount through 2045 is expected to be $387 million, comprising (i) $219.3 million of fixed contributions of $12.9 million annually for 17 years and (ii) $167.7 million of contingent contributions of $33.5 million annually for five years.

As further described below, the Continuation Account may receive reimbursement from electric IOU shareholder contributions for amounts paid to cover participating electric IOU wildfire claims, depending on the outcome of a reasonableness review by the CPUC conducted under the prudency standards established by the 2019 Wildfire Legislation.

The funds in the Continuation Account may not be applied to claims arising from wildfires that ignited before the effective date of the 2025 Wildfire Legislation. In addition, as with the Wildfire Fund, only claims in excess of the greater of $1 billion or the amount of insurance coverage required by the Wildfire Fund's administrator are eligible for reimbursement from the Continuation Account.

▪ Wildfire Mitigation Capital Investment – As with the 2019 Wildfire Legislation, participating electric IOUs are not permitted to earn an equity return on a certain amount of capital investments supporting wildfire risk mitigation. The 2025 Wildfire Legislation establishes this amount as $6 billion of wildfire risk mitigation capital investments authorized by the CPUC after January 1, 2026, and SDG&E's proportionate share is limited to $258 million.

------

▪ Liability Cap – As with the 2019 Wildfire Legislation, for participating electric IOUs that have received a safety certification as described below, reimbursements to the Continuation Account with electric IOU shareholder contributions are not required if the CPUC reasonableness review described above results in a finding that the participating IOU acted prudently. Reimbursements to the Continuation Account with electric IOU shareholder contributions are required for wildfire liabilities deemed imprudently incurred, but the amount of the reimbursement is capped as described below if the Continuation Account is not otherwise depleted. In the event of a finding of imprudence, the applicable participating electric IOU may credit its shareholder contributions to the Continuation Account against required reimbursements, which are subject to a cap equal to the lesser of (i) the disallowed costs, or (ii) 20% of the electric IOU's total transmission and distribution equity rate base for the year of ignition of the applicable wildfire, less (a) prior reimbursements by the electric IOU for any covered wildfire-related disallowances within three years before the date of ignition of the applicable wildfire, and (b) any unused shareholder contributions by the electric IOU not already credited. SDG&E's current estimated cap, which will vary over time, is approximately $1.4 billion based on its 2024 transmission and distribution equity rate base.

▪ Safety Certification – As with the 2019 Wildfire Legislation, the liability cap as described above and the CPUC prudency standards established by the 2019 Wildfire Legislation are available for participating electric IOUs that maintain a valid safety certification, which is annually issued by California's Office of Energy Infrastructure Safety based on the requirements established by the 2019 Wildfire Legislation. Other than clarification and timing changes, the 2025 Wildfire Legislation does not modify the safety certification requirements.

▪ Insurance Subrogation Reform – The 2025 Wildfire Legislation requires insurance companies to first offer to the participating electric IOU providing service in the territory in which a wildfire ignites the opportunity to purchase or settle certain subrogation claims on the same terms and conditions as those offered to a third party before selling such claims.

▪ Legislative Task Force and Study – The 2025 Wildfire Legislation establishes a multi-stakeholder task force, coordinated by the Wildfire Fund's administrator, to prepare and submit to the California legislature and Governor of California on or before April 1, 2026, a report that evaluates and sets forth recommendations on new models to complement or replace the Wildfire Fund.
