OAKLAND, Calif., July 31, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Pacific Gas and Electric Company (the "Company") today announced the pricing terms of its previously announced cash tender offers ("Tender Offers") to purchase up to an aggregate principal amount that will not result in an aggregate purchase price that exceeds $1,200,000,000 (subject to increase or decrease by the Company, the "Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount") of its outstanding 3.30% Senior Notes due December 1, 2027 (the "3.30% Senior Notes") and 2.10% First Mortgage Bonds due August 1, 2027 (the "2.10% First Mortgage Bonds", and, together with the 3.30% Senior Notes, the "Bonds" and, each series, a "series of Bonds"), upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated July 27, 2026 (as amended by the press release dated July 27, 2026 regarding an upsize to the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount, the "Offer to Purchase"), subject to the Acceptance Priority Levels as set forth in the Offer to Purchase.

The "Tender Offer Consideration" for each per $1,000 principal amount of the Bonds validly tendered and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offers was determined by reference to the applicable fixed spread over the yield to maturity based on the bid side price of the applicable U.S. Treasury Security, and will be payable to the registered holders ("Holders") of the Bonds who validly tender and do not validly withdraw their Bonds at or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 31, 2026 (the "Withdrawal Deadline") and whose Bonds are accepted for purchase by the Company. The reference yields (as determined pursuant to the Offer to Purchase) were determined at 3:00 p.m., New York City time, today, July 31, 2026, by the Dealer Managers (as defined below).

Payments for the Bonds purchased will include accrued and unpaid interest from and including the last interest payment date applicable to the relevant series of Bonds up to, but not including, the settlement date for such Bonds accepted for purchase. The settlement date for the Bonds that are validly tendered on or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 31, 2026 (the "Expiration Date") is expected to be August 4, 2026, two business days following the scheduled Expiration Date (the "Settlement Date").

Based upon information received from D.F. King & Co., Inc., the tender and information agent for the Tender Offers (the "Tender and Information Agent"), at 3:00 p.m., New York City time, today, July 31, 2026, the Company expects to accept all tendered 3.30% Senior Notes in full and to accept a portion of the 2.10% First Mortgage Bonds. The Company expects to pro-rate the 2.10% First Mortgage Bonds at a proration factor of 26.6%, however the final proration factor will be determined after 5:00 p.m., New York City time on the Expiration Date once final results are received. Because Holders of the Bonds may withdraw validly tendered Bonds at any time prior to the Withdrawal Deadline, and additional Bonds may be validly tendered prior to such time, the Company does not view these preliminary results as representative of the final results of the Tender Offers.

Full details of the terms and conditions of the Tender Offers are described in the Offer to Purchase, which was sent by the Company to Holders of the Bonds. Holders of the Bonds are encouraged to read the Offer to Purchase as it contains important information regarding the Tender Offers. The Company's obligation to accept for purchase, and to pay for, the Bonds validly tendered pursuant to the Tender Offers is subject to, and conditioned upon, among other things, the satisfaction or waiver of the Financing Condition (as defined in the Offer to Purchase).
