On September 24, 2025, the Utility entered into a Term Loan Credit Agreement, pursuant to which the lenders made available to the Utility term loans in the aggregate principal amount equal to $500 million (the “Term Loan”).

The Utility used the net proceeds of such issuances for (i) the repayment of all of its $600 million aggregate principal amount of 3.500% First Mortgage Bonds due June 15, 2025, and (ii) the repayment of all of its $450 million aggregate principal amount of 4.950% First Mortgage Bonds due June 8, 2025.

The Utility used the remaining net proceeds from the offerings for general corporate purposes.
Convertible Notes

On December 4, 2023, PG&E Corporation completed the sale of $2.15 billion aggregate principal amount of 4.25% convertible senior secured notes due December 1, 2027 (the “Convertible Notes”). The Convertible Notes bear interest at an annual rate of 4.25% with interest payable semiannually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on June 1, 2024. The net proceeds from these offerings were approximately $2.12 billion, after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and commissions and PG&E Corporation’s offering expenses. PG&E Corporation used the net proceeds to prepay $2.15 billion outstanding under its term loan agreement.

The Convertible Notes are governed by an indenture (the “Convertible Notes Indenture”). The Convertible Notes Indenture contains limited covenants, including those restricting PG&E Corporation’s ability and certain of PG&E Corporation’s subsidiaries’ ability to create liens, engage in sale and leaseback transactions or merge or consolidate with another entity.

Prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding September 1, 2027, the Convertible Notes will be convertible by means of Combination Settlement (as described below) when the following conditions are met:

during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on March 31, 2024, if the last reported sale price of PG&E Corporation’s common stock for at least 20 trading days during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;

during the five consecutive business day period immediately after any 10 consecutive trading day period (“measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes, as determined following a request by a holder of Convertible Notes in accordance with the procedures described in the Convertible Notes Indenture, for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 90% of the product of the last reported sale price of PG&E Corporation’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; or

upon specified distributions and corporate events described in the Convertible Notes Indenture.

On or after September 1, 2027, the Convertible Notes are convertible by means of Combination Settlement (as described below) by holders at any time in whole or in part until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date.
On December 8, 2023, PG&E Corporation delivered an irrevocable notice (the “Irrevocable Notice”) to the Trustee under the Convertible Notes Indenture to irrevocably fix the Settlement Method upon conversion to Combination Settlement with a Specified Dollar Amount (each as defined in the Convertible Notes Indenture) per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes at or above $1,000 for any conversions of the Convertible Notes occurring subsequent to the delivery of such Irrevocable Notice on December 8, 2023; provided that in no event shall the Specified Dollar Amount per $1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes be less than $1,000.

The conversion rate for the Convertible Notes is initially 43.146 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the Convertible Notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $23.18 per share of PG&E Corporation common stock). The conversion rate and the corresponding conversion price are subject to adjustment in connection with some events but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. PG&E Corporation may not redeem the Convertible Notes prior to the maturity date.

If PG&E Corporation undergoes a Fundamental Change (other than an Exempted Fundamental Change, each as defined in the Convertible Notes Indenture), subject to certain conditions, holders may require PG&E Corporation to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Convertible Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Convertible Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the Fundamental Change Repurchase Date (as defined in the Convertible Notes Indenture). As of December 31, 2025, none of the conditions allowing holders of the Convertible Notes to convert had been met.

The Convertible Notes are accounted for in accordance with ASC Subtopic 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options. Pursuant to ASC Subtopic 470-20, debt with an embedded conversion feature should be accounted for in its entirety as a liability, and no portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the convertible debt instrument should be accounted for as attributable to the conversion feature unless the conversion feature is required to be accounted for separately as an embedded derivative or the conversion feature results in a premium that is subject to the guidance in ASC 470. The Convertible Notes issued are accounted for as a liability with no portion of the proceeds attributable to the conversion options as the conversion feature did not require separate accounting as a derivative, and the Convertible Notes did not involve a premium subject to the guidance in ASC 470.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Consolidated Financial Statements reflected the net carrying amount of the Convertible Notes of $2.14 billion and $2.13 billion, with unamortized debt issuance costs of $13 million and $20 million, respectively, in Long-term debt. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, the Consolidated Statements of Income reflected the total interest expense of approximately $91 million, $98 million, and $7 million, respectively.

SB 901 SECURITIZATION AND CUSTOMER CREDIT TRUST
Pursuant to the financing order for the SB 901 securitization transactions, the Utility sold its right to receive revenues from the SB 901 Recovery Property to PG&E Wildfire Recovery Funding LLC, which, in turn, issued the recovery bonds secured by separate fixed recovery charges and separate SB 901 Recovery Property. The fixed recovery charges are designed to recover the full scheduled principal amount of the applicable series of recovery bonds along with any associated interest and financing costs. The customer credit trust (see Note 11 below) funds a customer credit to ratepayers, designed to equal the recovery bond principal, interest, and financing costs over the life of the recovery bonds to offset the fixed recovery charge. The fixed recovery charges and customer credits are presented on a net basis in Operating revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Income and had no net impact on Operating revenues for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Upon issuance of senior secured recovery bonds in May 2022 (“inception”), the Utility recorded a $5.5 billion SB 901 securitization regulatory asset reflecting PG&E Wildfire Recovery Funding LLC’s right to recover $7.5 billion in wildfire claims costs associated with the 2017 Northern California wildfires, partially offset by the $2.0 billion in required upfront shareholder contributions to the customer credit trust. As of December 31, 2025, the Utility had made all required upfront contributions. The Utility also recorded a $5.54 billion SB 901 securitization regulatory liability at inception, which represents certain shareholder tax benefits the Utility had previously recognized that will be returned to customers. As tax benefits are monetized, contributions will be made to the customer credit trust, up to $7.59 billion. The Utility expects to amortize the SB 901 securitization regulatory asset and liability over the life of the recovery bonds, with such amortization reflected in Operating and maintenance expense in the Consolidated Statements of Income. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Utility recorded $302 million and $328 million, respectively, for amortization of the regulatory asset and liability in the Consolidated Statements of Income.

The following tables illustrate the changes in the SB 901 securitization’s impact on the Utility’s regulatory assets and liabilities:
