After satisfying all conditions precedent, including final approval from the PUCT, on March 9, 2018, Sempra Energy completed the acquisition of an indirect, 100-percent interest in Oncor Holdings, which owned 80.03 percent of Oncor, and other EFH assets and liabilities unrelated to Oncor, pursuant to the Merger Agreement with EFH. Oncor is a regulated electric transmission and distribution business that operates the largest transmission and distribution system in Texas. This acquisition expands our regulated earnings base, while serving as a platform for future growth in the Texas energy market and U.S. Gulf Coast region.

Under the Merger Agreement, we paid Merger Consideration of $9.45 billion in cash and an additional $31 million representing an adjustment for dividends and payments pursuant to a tax sharing agreement with Oncor and Oncor Holdings. Also on March 9, 2018, in a separate transaction, Sempra Energy, through its interest in Oncor Holdings, acquired an additional 0.22 percent of the outstanding membership interests in Oncor from OMI for approximately $26 million in cash, bringing Sempra Energy’s indirect ownership in Oncor to 80.25 percent. TTI, an investment vehicle indirectly owned by third parties unaffiliated with Oncor Holdings or Sempra Energy, continues to own 19.75 percent of Oncor’s outstanding membership interests.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the reorganized EFH (renamed Sempra Texas Holdings Corp.) merged with an indirect subsidiary of Sempra Energy, with Sempra Texas Holdings Corp. continuing as the surviving company and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Sempra Energy. Sempra Texas Holdings Corp. wholly owns EFIH (renamed Sempra Texas Intermediate Holding Company LLC), which holds our 100-percent interest in Oncor Holdings. Sempra Texas Intermediate Holding Company LLC is included in our newly formed Sempra Texas Utility reportable segment. Other assets and liabilities unrelated to Oncor that were acquired with Sempra Texas Holdings Corp. have been subsumed into our parent organization, Parent and other.

Due to ring-fencing measures, governance mechanisms, and commitments in effect following the Merger, we do not have the power to direct the significant activities of Oncor Holdings and Oncor. Consequently, we account for our 100-percent ownership interest in Oncor Holdings as an equity method investment. See Note 6 for additional information about our equity method investment in Oncor Holdings and related ring-fencing measures.

In anticipation of the Merger, in January 2018, we completed registered public offerings of our common stock (including shares offered pursuant to forward sale agreements), series A preferred stock and long-term debt, as we discuss in Notes 1 and 7 herein and in Note 18 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Annual Report. These offerings provided total initial net proceeds of approximately $7.0 billion for partial funding of the Merger Consideration, of which approximately $800 million was used to temporarily pay down commercial paper, pending the closing of the Merger.

On March 8, 2018, to fund a portion of the Merger Consideration, we settled approximately $900 million (net of underwriting discounts of $16 million) of forward sales under the forward sale agreements entered into in connection with the public offering of common stock in January 2018 by delivery of 8,556,630 shares of newly issued Sempra Energy common stock, as we discuss in Note 1. We raised the remaining portion of the Merger Consideration through issuances of approximately $2.6 billion in commercial paper with a weighted-average maturity of 47 days and a weighted-average interest rate of 2.2 percent per annum.

We accounted for the Merger as an asset acquisition, as the equity method investment in Oncor Holdings represents substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired. The following table sets forth the allocation of the total purchase price paid to the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed:



PURCHASE PRICE ALLOCATION
(Dollars in millions)
	At March 9, 2018
Assets acquired:
Accounts receivable – other, net	$	1
Due from unconsolidated affiliates	46
Investment in Oncor Holdings	9,161
Deferred income tax assets	353
Other noncurrent assets	109
Total assets acquired	9,670

Liabilities assumed:
Other current liabilities	23
Pension and other postretirement benefit plan obligations	21
Deferred credits and other	60
Total liabilities assumed	104
Net assets acquired	$	9,566
Total purchase price paid	$	9,566

The fair value of the equity method investment in Oncor Holdings is primarily attributable to Oncor’s business. Therefore, we considered the underlying assets and liabilities of Oncor when determining the fair value of our equity method investment. As a regulated entity, Oncor’s rates are set and approved by the PUCT, and are designed to recover the cost of providing service and the opportunity to earn a reasonable return on its investments. Accordingly, Oncor applies the guidance under the provisions of U.S. GAAP governing rate-regulated operations. Under U.S. GAAP, regulation is viewed as being a characteristic (restriction) of a regulated entity’s assets and liabilities, and the impact of regulation is considered a fundamental input to measuring the fair value of Oncor’s assets and liabilities. Under this premise, we concluded that the carrying values of all assets and liabilities recoverable through rates are representative of their fair values.

Deferred income tax assets acquired have been recognized based on the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date related to the resolution of claims in EFH’s emergence from bankruptcy. Should the final resolution of these claims result in a change in deferred income tax assets allocated to us, an adjustment will be made to the purchase price allocation.

On February 28, 2018, Sempra Mexico completed the asset acquisition of Fisterra Midstream Mexico, S. de R.L. de C.V., for a purchase price of $5 million. Substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired is attributable to a self-supply permit that allows generators to compete directly with CFE’s retail tariffs and, thus, have access to PPAs with a competitive pricing position. IEnova will invest $130 million to develop, construct and operate the Don Diego Solar Complex, a 125-MW solar facility in Sonora, Mexico. IEnova entered into a 15-year, U.S. dollar denominated PPA with various subsidiaries of El Puerto de Liverpool, S.A.B. de C.V., for a portion of the capacity. We expect operations to commence in the second half of 2019.

On July 10, 2017, Sempra Renewables paid $124 million in cash for an asset acquisition of the Great Valley Solar Project, a portfolio of four solar projects located in Fresno County, California, that were under construction. We placed three of these projects into service in the fourth quarter of 2017 and placed the fourth project into service in April 2018. The portfolio of solar projects is capable of producing up to 200 MW of solar power. The solar projects are fully contracted under four long-term PPAs, with an average contract term of 18 years.

On June 29, 2018, Chilquinta Energía entered into a sales and purchase agreement with AES Gener S.A. and its subsidiary Sociedad Eléctrica Angamos S.A. to acquire a 100-percent interest in Compañía Transmisora del Norte Grande S.A. (CTNG). CTNG owns regulated transmission assets in the Valparaiso, Metropolitana and Antofagasta regions of Chile. The fully operating transmission assets include a 114-mile, 110-kV single-circuit transmission line, an 82-mile, 220-kV double-circuit transmission line, other transmission assets and substations. CTNG’s regulated revenues are based on tariffs that are set by the CNE and are reviewed by the CNE every four years. This business acquisition is consistent with our long-term growth strategy of owning and operating regulated transmission and distribution assets. The transaction is subject to regulatory approval by the Fiscalía Nacional Económica, which we expect to receive in the second half of 2018. We expect to fund the purchase price of approximately $220 million, subject to customary adjustments at closing, with available cash on hand at Sempra South American Utilities.

We classify assets as held for sale when management approves and commits to a formal plan to actively market an asset for sale and we expect the sale to close within the next 12 months. Upon classifying an asset as held for sale, we record the asset at the lower of its carrying value or its estimated fair value reduced for selling costs.

In February 2016, management approved a plan to market and sell Sempra Mexico’s TdM, a 625-MW natural gas-fired power plant located in Mexicali, Baja California, Mexico. As a result, we classified TdM as held for sale, stopped depreciating the plant, and have since recorded it each period at the lower of its carrying value or fair value less costs to sell.

On June 1, 2018, management terminated its sales process for TdM due to evolving strategic considerations for projects under development at IEnova. As a result, the assets and liabilities previously classified as held for sale were reclassified as held and used, and depreciation resumed. We reclassified the property, plant and equipment at its carrying value (which approximated fair value) at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell.

On June 25, 2018, our board of directors approved a plan to divest certain non-utility natural gas storage assets in the southeast U.S., and all our U.S. wind and U.S. solar assets (collectively, the Assets). The plan to sell the Assets resulted from the most recent comprehensive strategic portfolio review by the board of directors and management.

Also included in the plan of sale are all wind assets and investments and solar assets and investments, including our wholly owned facilities, joint venture and tax equity investments and projects in development, comprising our Sempra Renewables reportable segment. These assets include operating wind and solar facilities with a total generating capacity of 1,335 MW and 1,262 MW, respectively.

As a result of our plan to sell the Assets, we recorded impairment charges totaling $1.5 billion ($900 million after tax and noncontrolling interests) in June 2018. These charges include $1.3 billion ($755 million after tax and noncontrolling interests) at Sempra LNG & Midstream, which is included in Impairment Losses on Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations, and $200 million ($145 million after tax) at Sempra Renewables, which is included in Equity (Losses) Earnings on Sempra Energy’s Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. These impairment charges primarily represent an adjustment of the related assets’ carrying values to estimated fair values, less costs to sell when applicable, which we discuss further in Notes 6 and 9.
