Dismissal of Attorney General Lawsuit

     On March 10, 2009, the San Francisco Superior Court dismissed the California Attorney General’s lawsuit filed in 2002 against PG&E Corporation and several of its present and former directors. The Attorney General alleged that the defendants had engaged in unfair or fraudulent business acts or practices in violation of Section 17200 of the California Business and Professions Code. Among other allegations, the Attorney General alleged that past transfers of funds from Pacific Gas and Electric Company (“Utility”) to PG&E Corporation during the period from 1997 through 2000 (primarily in the form of dividends and stock repurchases), and allegedly from PG&E Corporation to other affiliates of PG&E Corporation, violated various conditions established by the California Public Utilities Commission. Following a neutral evaluation of the Attorney General’s claims by a former California Supreme Court justice, the Attorney General and the defendants jointly requested that the complaint be dismissed. The dismissal is with prejudice, meaning that the Attorney General cannot re-file the complaint. A similar lawsuit filed in 2002 by the City and County of San Francisco against PG&E Corporation remains pending in San Francisco Superior Court. (More information about these matters is included in PG&E Corporation’s and Pacific Gas and Electric Company’s joint Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008 that has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.)
