Under the ATM program, Edison International may sell shares of its common stock having an aggregate sales price of up to $1.5 billion. As of December 31, 2021, shares of common stock having an aggregate offering price of $1.3 billion remained available to be sold under the ATM program. Edison International has no obligation to sell the remaining available shares.

Starting July 2021, the 401(k) defined contribution savings plan no longer offers Edison International's stock as an investment option to employees.

The dividends are payable on a semi-annual basis, commencing September 15, 2021 and March 15, 2022, respectively. The dividend rate will be reset every five years beginning on March 15, 2026 and March 15,2027, respectively, to equal the then-current five-year U.S. Treasury rate plus a spread of 4.698% and 3.901%, respectively. The net proceeds of $2.0 billion were used to repay commercial paper borrowings and for general corporate purposes, including making a total of $900 million equity contributions to SCE.

Edison International may, at its option, redeem its preferred stock in whole or in part during certain periods of time prior to each of the dividend reset dates at a price equal to $1,000 per share plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends. Edison International may also, at its option, redeem the preferred stocks in whole but not in part at a price equal to $1,020 per share plus any accumulated and unpaid dividends within a certain period of time following any change in the criteria rating agencies use that would have adverse effects on the equity credit attributed by rating agencies to the preferred stocks.

The preferred stocks rank senior to Edison International's common stock with respect to dividends rights and distribution rights upon liquidation. The preferred stocks are not subject to any mandatory sinking fund, retirement fund, purchase fund or other similar provisions. Holders of the shares of the preferred stocks do not have the right to require Edison International to repurchase or redeem shares of the preferred stocks.
