Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year.

On April 14, 2020, the Board of Directors of Sempra Energy (the “Company”) approved and adopted amended and restated Bylaws of the Company (as so amended and restated, the “Amended Bylaws”), which became effective on such date.

The Bylaws were amended primarily to add flexibility to the administration of the Company’s shareholder meetings, including the Annual Shareholders Meeting scheduled to be held on May 5, 2020, due in large part to the current circumstances presented by the coronavirus, or COVID-19, pandemic and the related Executive Order issued by the Governor of the State of California on March 30, 2020. As a result, the Amended Bylaws incorporate amendments that: (i) expressly permit the Company’s shareholder meetings to be held at a virtual location, (ii) permit notice of such meetings to be given to shareholders by any means permitted by applicable law (including pursuant to an order such as the Executive Order described above), (iii) add flexibility to the persons permitted to serve as an inspector of election and vote tabulator at any such meeting, (iv) expressly permit the presiding officer of a shareholder meeting to adjourn the meeting, and (v) make other clarifying and conforming changes regarding adjournments of shareholder meetings; as well as amendments that provide additional flexibility regarding the form of the Company’s share certificates.

The foregoing description of some of the amendments incorporated in the Amended Bylaws is intended to be a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the complete Amended Bylaws, which are filed as Exhibit 3.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and are incorporated herein by reference.
