Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 2 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons in respect of the Common Stock on July 10, 2020, as amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed by the Reporting Persons on July 9, 2021 (the “Schedule 13D”). Information reported in the Schedule 13D remains in effect except to the extent that it is amended, supplemented or superseded by information contained in this Amendment. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment have the respective meanings set forth in the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

On January 31, 2022, the Trust sold 40,000,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to a block trade with Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“Morgan Stanley”) at a price of $12.09 per share (the “Block Trade”).

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Each of paragraphs (a), (b) and (c) of Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

 

(a)

As of the date hereof, the Trust beneficially owns directly 437,743,590 shares of Common Stock, currently representing 17.8% of the Issuer’s Common Stock, based on the Trust’s ability to direct the disposition of such shares of Common Stock.

The Trustee, solely in his capacity as Trustee of the Trust, may be deemed to indirectly beneficially own the Common Stock held by the Trust. The Trustee specifically disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities held by the Trust that he does not directly own or control.

 

(b)

Items 7 through 10 of each of the cover pages of this Amendment are incorporated herein by reference. Neither the Trust nor the Trustee has sole or shared power to vote or direct the voting of any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Trust, to the extent that such shares exceed 9.9% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Issuer (other than matters directly related to the natural environment or safety), as they are subject to Mirror Voting (as described in Item 4 of the Schedule 13D).

 

(c)

The information set forth in Item 4 of this Amendment is incorporated by reference herein. Otherwise, the Trust has not effected any transactions in the Common Stock of the Issuer during the past 60 days.

The remainder of Item 5 of the Schedule 13D remains in effect.

 

Item 6.

Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following:

In connection with the Block Trade, on January 31, 2022, the Trust entered into a lock-up letter agreement (the “January 2022 Lock-Up Agreement”) and agreed with Morgan Stanley that, subject to certain exceptions, without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley it will not, and will not publicly disclose an intention to, in each case, during the period commencing on January 31, 2022 and ending 60 days thereafter (the “Restricted Period”), (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock it beneficially owns or any other securities so owned convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. In addition, the Trust agreed with Morgan Stanley that, without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley, it will not, during the Restricted Period, make any new demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock to the extent a public announcement or filing under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, if any, is required of or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the Issuer or the Trust regarding the exercise of such demand during the Restricted Period. Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the prior consent of Morgan Stanley, beginning with the 31st day from January 31, 2022 and until the expiration of the Restricted Period, the Trust may sell up to the same number of shares that were sold in the Block Trade, but only at a price per share that exceeds the weighted average price of all shares of Common Stock sold in the Block Trade, and only in one transaction conducted on an overnight or marketed basis.


The foregoing description of the January 2022 Lock-Up Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the January 2022 Lock-Up Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 1 to this Amendment and is incorporated by reference herein.

The information set forth in Item 4 of this Amendment is incorporated by reference into this Item 6.

LOCK-UP LETTER

January 31, 2022

Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC

1585 Broadway

New York, NY 10036

Ladies and Gentlemen:

This letter agreement is entered into in connection with the undersigned’s sale of 40,000,000 Shares (the “Shares”) of common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”) of PG&E Corporation (the “Company”) to Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“Morgan Stanley”) in accordance with the terms of the sale representation letter from the undersigned to Morgan Stanley, dated the date hereof (the “Transaction”).

As an inducement to Morgan Stanley, the undersigned hereby agrees that, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley it will not, and will not publicly disclose an intention to, in each case, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending sixty (60) days after the date hereof (the “Restricted Period”), (1) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, lend, or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned (as such term is used in Rule 13d-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), by the undersigned or any other securities so owned convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or (2) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of the Common Stock, whether any such transaction described in clause (1) or (2) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise. The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (a) distributions of shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into Common Stock to beneficiaries of the undersigned, (b) the establishment of a trading plan pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act for the transfer of shares of Common Stock, provided that (i) such plan does not provide for the transfer of Common Stock during the Restricted Period and (ii) to the extent a public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act, if any, is required of or voluntarily made by or on behalf of the Company or the undersigned regarding the establishment of such plan, such announcement or filing shall include a statement to the effect that no transfer of Common Stock may be made under such plan during the Restricted Period, or (c) the undersigned’s exercise of any so called “piggyback” registration rights pursuant to the undersigned’s registration rights agreement with the Company (as it may be amended from time to time), or the undersigned’s offer, sale or contract to sell any shares of Common Stock pursuant to any such exercise. In addition, the undersigned agrees that, without the prior written consent of Morgan Stanley, it will not, during the Restricted Period, make any new demand for or exercise any right with respect to, the registration of any shares of Common Stock or any security convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock to the extent a public announcement or filing under the Exchange Act, if any, is required of or


voluntarily made by or on behalf of the Company or the undersigned regarding the exercise of such demand during the Restricted Period; provided, however, nothing in this sentence shall preclude the undersigned from requiring the Company to maintain in effect a shelf registration statement for the resale of the undersigned’s Common Stock; and provided further that the undersigned will not offer, sale or contract to sell any shares of Common Stock pursuant to such registration during the Restricted Period.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, without the prior consent of Morgan Stanley, beginning with the 31st day from the date hereof and until expiration of the Restricted Period, the undersigned may sell up to the same number of Shares as were sold in the Transaction, but only at a price per Share that exceeds the weighted average price of all Shares sold in the Transaction, and only in one transaction conducted on an overnight or marketed basis.

The undersigned understands that Morgan Stanley is relying upon this agreement in proceeding to consummate of the Transaction. The undersigned further understands that this agreement is irrevocable and shall be binding upon the undersigned’s heirs, legal representatives, successors and assigns; provided, however, that this agreement shall automatically terminate, and the undersigned (including its successors and assign) shall be immediately released from its obligations and restrictions hereunder without any further action by or on behalf of any of the undersigned or Morgan Stanley, in the event that a Transaction has not closed within two (2) trading days after the date first above written.
