CUSIP No. 69331C108

Item 2.
Identity and Background.

(a)
This Schedule 13D is being filed on behalf of (i) Abrams Capital, LLC (“Abrams Capital”), (ii) Abrams Capital Management, LLC (“Abrams CM LLC”), (iii) Abrams Capital Management, L.P. (“Abrams CM LP”), (iv) Great Hollow Partners, LLC (“GHP”) and (v) David Abrams (together with each of the foregoing, the “Reporting Persons”).

(b)
The address of the principal executive office of each of the Reporting Persons is c/o Abrams Capital Management, L.P., 222 Berkeley Street, 21st Floor, Boston, Massachusetts 02116.

(c)
Abrams Capital and GHP serve as the general partner to certain investment funds managed by Abrams CM LP.  Abrams CM LP provides investment management services to the Abrams CM LP Accounts (as defined in Item 5 below).  Abrams CM LLC serves as general partner of Abrams CM LP.  Mr. Abrams is the managing member of Abrams Capital, GHP and Abrams CM LLC.

(d)
None of the Reporting Persons has, during the last five years, been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic violations or similar misdemeanors).

(e)
During the past five years, none of the Reporting Persons nor any director, executive officer or controlling person of a Reporting Person has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future violations of, or prohibiting, or mandating activities subject to, federal or state securities laws or a finding of any violation with respect to such laws.

(f)
See Item 6 of the cover page of each Reporting Person.
As described in Item 4, Abrams CM LP may be deemed to be a member of a group for the purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”) comprised of Abrams CM LP and the Other Shareholders (as defined in Item 4).  Abrams CM LP has been informed that each of the Other Shareholders intends to file a separate statement of beneficial ownership on Schedule 13D pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)(2) under the Act containing its required information.  Neither Abrams CM LP nor any of the Reporting Persons assume responsibility for the information contained in such Schedule 13Ds filed by the Other Shareholders.  The Reporting Persons expressly disclaim beneficial ownership of any securities beneficially owned or acquired by any Other Shareholder.
Item 3.
Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.
The Shares reported herein as being beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons were purchased using working capital in open-market purchases as set forth in Schedule A, which is incorporated herein by reference.  The aggregate purchase price of the Shares collectively beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons is $176.9 million, excluding brokerage commissions.


7

CUSIP No. 69331C108

Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.
The Reporting Persons, collectively beneficially own an aggregate of 25,014,000 Shares, primarily through managed funds, which represent 4.74% of the outstanding Shares based on published information.  All Shares so owned by the Reporting Persons were purchased and are beneficially owned for investment purposes.
The Company has publicly announced that it is conducting a process for the refreshment of its board of directors (the “Board”) and that it anticipates that a majority of the Board will be new independent directors prior to the Company’s 2019 annual meeting of shareholders.  The Company has also publicly announced that it is conducting a process to identify a permanent CEO to lead the Company.  Collectively we refer to these efforts as the “Leadership Search.”
From time to time, representatives of the Reporting Persons have conducted discussions with representatives of the Company and other parties with respect to the Company’s bankruptcy case and the Leadership Search.  On March 8, 2019, Abrams CM LP and two other shareholders, Knighthead Capital Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Redwood Capital Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (collectively, the “Other Shareholders”), had an initial joint conference call, together with financial advisers and counsel, to discuss the status of discussions with representatives of the Company regarding the Leadership Search.  During their telephone conference, Abrams CM LP and each of the Other Shareholders mutually agreed to act in concert to submit director candidate nominations to the Company if they collectively determined nominations to be appropriate.
On March 15, 2019, Abrams CM LP entered into a letter agreement (the “Investor Agreement”), a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto, with the Other Shareholders, in respect of the Leadership Search.  This Investor Agreement memorialized the parties’ determination on March 8, 2019 that they expected to work in concert for what they expected to be a brief period in relation to these matters. Unless Abrams CM LP withdraws from the Investor Agreement (which it may do at any time), Abrams CM LP expects to act with respect to any such matter in accordance with the agreement or consensus of at least two of the three parties to the Investor Agreement. As such, Abrams CM LP and the Other Shareholders may be deemed to constitute a group for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Act.
Based on information provided by the Other Shareholders, the Reporting Persons believe that they and the Other Shareholders beneficially own in the aggregate 9.91% of the outstanding Shares as of the date of this Schedule 13D.  Depending on the outcome of discussions with the Company, the Reporting Persons (with or without one or both of the Other Shareholders) may submit proposed nominees for election to the Board under the Company’s director nomination bylaws, although it has not decided to do so as of the date of this Schedule 13D.
Depending on various factors including, without limitation, the Company’s financial position, strategic direction, business and prospects, anticipated future developments, existing and anticipated market and/or economic conditions, actions taken by the management or board of directors of the Company, price levels of the Shares, and regulatory matters, the Reporting Persons will take actions with respect to their investment in the Company as they deem appropriate.  Such actions may include, without limitation, (i) purchasing additional Shares or other securities of the Company, (ii) selling some or all of their Shares, (iii) engaging in short selling of or any hedging or similar transaction with respect to the Shares, (iv) exercising their rights as holders of Shares or other securities of the Company, or (v) discussing, participating in, negotiating, or approving agreements or transactions with the purpose or effect of changing or influencing the control of the Company, including by entering into one or more confidentiality agreements, standstill agreements, voting or support agreements, or other similar agreements. Any such actions, should they occur at all, may take place at any time and without prior notice.
The Reporting Persons may change their intention with respect to any or all of the matters referred to in this Item 4.  Except for the foregoing, the Reporting Persons do not have, as of the date of this filing, any plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions or events specified in clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.


8

CUSIP No. 69331C108

The Reporting Persons presently expect to cease collaborating with the Other Shareholders upon the termination of the Investor Agreement, which will occur upon the earliest to occur of (i) a date mutually agreed by at least two of the parties to the Investor Agreement and (ii) the date two of the three parties have withdrawn from the Investor Agreement.  The parties to the Investor Agreement presently expect to terminate the Investor Agreement upon the appointment or election of new directors to the Board and selection of a new CEO of the Company.
The Reporting Persons also reserve the right to vote the Shares they beneficially own or to take any other action with respect to such Shares. Abrams CM LP and each Other Shareholder have expressly represented and agreed that they have no other written or oral agreement or understanding with respect to the Shares and expressly reserve the right for any reason or no reason to act independently with respect to the Company or their investment in it. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to change its plans and make any proposal, either alone or with others, at any time.
Item 5.
Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) and (b)  See Items 7-11 of the cover pages. The percentages reported herein are based upon 527,561,429 Shares outstanding, as of February 22, 2019, which is the total number of Shares outstanding as reported in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 28, 2019.

CUSIP No. 69331C108
Exhibit 99.1
March 15, 2019
Ladies and Gentlemen:
This memorializes the agreement (the “Agreement”) of the undersigned investment managers and/or advisers of shareholders (each, together with its managed funds and accounts and other affiliates, a “Party” and collectively the “Parties”) of PG&E Corp. (the “Company”), determination on March 8, 2019 to work in concert with respect to the Parties’ participation in the Company’s previously announced Board of Directors (the “Board”) refreshment and CEO selection processes, as follows:
(a) Interest in Equity Securities.
(i) Each Party represents and warrants to the other Parties that, as of the date of this Agreement, it beneficially owns (as that term is defined in SEC Rule 13d-3 (“Beneficial Ownership”)) the number of shares of equity securities, in each case, of the Company or Pacific Gas and Electric Company (“OpCo”) set forth on the signature page hereto.  Each Party will as promptly as practicable, and in any event, within one day, notify the other Parties of any change in its Beneficial Ownership of equity securities of the Company or OpCo.
(ii) Unless otherwise agreed by the other Parties, unless a Party has withdrawn from this Agreement pursuant to paragraph (g) or this Agreement has been terminated pursuant to paragraph (f), no Party will increase, and each Party will prevent any funds managed or controlled by it from increasing, its Beneficial Ownership of equity securities of the Company or OpCo; provided, however, that nothing herein prevents any Party or any of its managed or controlled funds from selling any debt or equity securities of the Company or OpCo currently held by such Party or its managed or controlled funds or entering into, purchasing or selling cash-settled derivatives relating to such securities so long as so doing is in compliance with law and such transactions do not result in any increase in the number of Company or OpCo voting securities Beneficially Owned by such Party.
(b) Board and CEO Refreshment Processes.  The Company has announced processes to appoint, prior to the Company’s 2019 annual shareholders meeting, a majority of new independent directors and to select a permanent CEO (the “Processes”).  The Parties agree to collaborate in good faith in respect of the Processes and not knowingly take any position in respect of the Processes not supported by at least one of the other two Parties.
(c) Voting.  Each Party reserves the sole right to vote any equity securities of the Company or OpCo Beneficially Owned by it in such manner as it determines in its sole discretion.
(d) Regulatory Filings.  Each Party will individually make and be solely responsible for any filings or notifications as may be necessary under applicable law in connection with the entry into this Agreement and the performance of its obligations hereunder.
(e) Costs.  All fees and expenses (other than filing fees, if any) will be borne by the Parties according to each Party’s Pro Rata Share.  A Party’s “Pro Rata Share” will be calculated as a fraction equal to one divided by the total number of Parties.  In the event a Party withdraws from this Agreement pursuant to paragraph (g) or this Agreement is otherwise terminated pursuant to paragraph (f), such Party will cease to have any further obligation for its Pro Rata Share of fees and expenses as provided in this paragraph (e) incurred through the 15th of the month, if such written notice is delivered to the other Parties prior to such date, or through the end of the month if such written notice is delivered to the other Parties after the 15th of the month or this Agreement is terminated pursuant to paragraph (f).


13

CUSIP No. 69331C108

(f) Termination.  The Parties presently expect to terminate this Agreement upon the appointment or election of new directors to the Board and selection of the Company’s chief executive officer pursuant to the Processes.  This Agreement will terminate without further action upon the earliest to occur of (i) a date mutually agreed by at least two of the Parties and (ii) the date two of the three Parties have withdrawn from this Agreement pursuant to paragraph (g).  No termination of this Agreement pursuant to this paragraph (f) will relieve any Party from liability for any prior breach by such Party or responsibility for payment of costs and expenses as provided in paragraph (e).
(g) Withdrawal.  Any Party may withdraw from its obligations hereunder and terminate this Agreement as to itself and its managed or controlled funds for any reason or for no reason upon written notice to the other Parties, provided that no withdrawal pursuant to this paragraph (g) will relieve any such Party from liability for any prior breach by such Party or responsibility for payment of costs and expenses as provided in paragraph (e).
(h) Entire Agreement.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and the Parties expressly represent and agree that, except for this Agreement, the Parties do not have any written or oral agreement or understanding with respect to the debt or equity securities of the Company or OpCo.
(i) Miscellaneous. This Agreement (i) may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which will be considered to be an original but all of which will be considered to be the same agreement, and (ii) will be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflict of laws principles that would cause the laws of another State to apply.  Any proceeding in respect of this Agreement may only be initiated in U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York or, if such court declines to accept jurisdiction, a New York state court located in the Borough of Manhattan.
(j) Notices.  Notices must be in writing and will be deemed given hereunder when delivered personally or sent by email (receipt confirmed) to the notice persons identified on the signature page hereto.
