On October 6, 2014, Pacific Gas and Electric Company, a subsidiary of PG&E Corporation, (“Utility”), notified the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) that the Utility identified additional communications between the Utility and CPUC personnel that the Utility believes violated the CPUC’s rules regarding ex parte communications. As previously disclosed in PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s joint Current Report on Form 8-K filed on September 15, 2015 (“Form 8-K”), the Utility reported that it believed that certain communications between the Utility and CPUC personnel relating to the Utility’s 2015 Gas Transmission and Storage rate case violated the CPUC’s rules prohibiting ex parte communications and that the Utility would inform the CPUC if additional potential violations of the rules prohibiting ex parte communications are identified. In addition, the Utility has been notified by the U.S. Attorney’s Office in San Francisco that it has begun an investigation in connection with these ex parte communications, with which the Utility will cooperate.
