Transfer of Certain Postretirement Benefits to EIX (EME only)
During 2012, EME transferred the executive deferred compensation and executive postretirement benefit liabilities related to active employees to EIX. EME agreed to fund changes to the projected benefit obligation of the executive postretirement benefits and the employer portion of the executive deferred compensation plan through EME's emergence from bankruptcy. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, EME funded $3 million in connection with this agreement.
