Benefits of Allowing the Board to Select Its Optimal Leadership The board believes the shareholder proposal to require the separation of the CEO and Chair roles is unnecessary, as Sempra's flexible leadership structure already drives effective oversight and strong performance. The board believes its flexible leadership structure is in the best interest of our company and our shareholders The board's flexible structure allows it to periodically re-evaluate leadership needs based on business conditions, director skills, and shareholder preferences Requiring an independent Chairman is not necessary to achieve effective oversight of our businesses The board regularly evaluates its leadership structure and believes the current structure, including our strong Lead Independent Director role, facilitates effective oversight The board conducts a robust annual evaluation of its leadership structure, including a review of company performance, board composition, and shareholder engagement When no independent Chairman is in place, Corporate Governance Guidelines require a Lead Independent Director with broad responsibilities, including presiding over executive sessions, approving board agendas, and engaging with major shareholders Sempra has achieved strong corporate performance under its existing board leadership structure Since implementing our current board leadership structure in 2012, the board has overseen the company's execution of a disciplined capital recycling program that has enhanced shareholder value Sempra has achieved a CAGR of nearly 15% for our rate base and delivered total shareholder return of 303%, meaningfully outperforming the S&P 500 Utilities Index, over this period1 We have received positive shareholder feedback on our board leadership structure Shareholders voted on independent chair policy proposals at our 2019, 2020, 2022 and 2023 annual shareholders meetings, none of which were approved and received declining support over time (in terms of the percentage of votes cast) During our robust shareholder engagement efforts, the majority of shareholders (in terms of number of shares represented) expressed no preference for an independent Chair of the Board, including in light of the appointment of a Lead Independent Director with significant duties See pages 37-39 of our 2026 proxy statement for further detail on the proposal and our board's response

Endnotes Slide 3: Strategic Positioning As of December 31, 2025. Based on U.S. utility consumers served across SDGE, SoCalGas, and Oncor. As of December 31, 2025. The amount and timing of dividends payable for the remaining quarters of 2026 and in future periods and the dividend policy are at the sole discretion of the Sempra Board of Directors. Dividends may be in amounts that are less than projected. Slide 4: 2025 Value Creation Initiatives Reflects rate base at December 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively. For our California utilities, rate base of $29 billion and $32 billion for 2024 and 2025, respectively, is the value of assets on which each utility is permitted to earn a specified rate of return in accordance with rules set by regulatory agencies, which is calculated using a 13-month average in accordance with CPUC methodology as adopted in rate-setting proceedings. For our Texas utilities, rate base of $21 billion and $25 billion for 2024 and 2025, respectively, reflects a percentage of the total rate base of each utility based on our ownership interests in these businesses and represents total invested capital, as adjusted in accordance with rules of the PUCT, at the end of the previous calendar year as reported to the PUCT on an annual basis. Ecogas is our natural gas distribution utility in Northern Mexico. The sales of Ecogas and a portion of our equity interest in SI Partners are subject to closing conditions. The ability to complete major construction and development projects is subject to a number of risks and uncertainties. Our subsidiary SDGE received the ReliabilityOne Award for Outstanding Reliability Performance in the Western Region by PA Consulting. Slide 6: Board Composition and Skills Facilitate Effective Oversight Board independence, tenure, diversity and areas of expertise reflect board composition as of March 27, 2026. As a former officer of Sempra, Mr. Sagara will not be considered independent under New York Stock Exchange independence standards until December 1, 2026. Slide 7: Benefits of Allowing the Board to Select Its Optimal Leadership The board adopted revisions to our bylaws and Corporate Governance Guidelines on September 12, 2012 to implement our current board leadership structure. As a result, total shareholder return was calculated for the period from September 12, 2012 through December 31, 2025, and rate base CAGR, which can only be calculated on an annual basis, was calculated for the period from December 31, 2012 through December 31, 2025. Slide 8: 2025 Executive Compensation Overview The term "long-term equity-based incentives" refers to the annual long-term incentive plan awards granted on January 2, 2025. Refers to the companies constituting the S&P 500 Utilities Index, excluding water companies. The 2025 annual long-term incentive plan award for Messrs. Martin and Bird and Ms. Sedgwick did not include service-based restricted stock units, and the 2025 annual long-term incentive plan award for Mss. Winn and Day did not include stock options.
