Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Amendment to Patti Poppe Offer Letter

On November 29, 2024, Patricia K. Poppe, CEO of PG&E Corporation, entered into an amendment to her November 13, 2020 offer letter (the “Offer Letter”), extending the term of her Offer Letter through January 4, 2031.

The original Offer Letter remains in full force and effect, and Ms. Poppe’s compensation will continue to be subject to an annual performance evaluation and market review, as well as approval at least annually by the independent members of the Board of Directors of PG&E Corporation.

The description of the amendments to the Offer Letter in this Item 1.01 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the letter agreement amending the Offer Letter, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

Item 7.01

Regulation FD Disclosure.

Dividend Declaration

On November 29, 2024, PG&E Corporation declared its fourth-quarter 2024 regular cash dividend of $0.025 per share on PG&E Corporation’s common stock, an increase of 0.015 cents per share. The dividend is payable on January 15, 2025, to shareholders of record as of December 31, 2024.

Dividend Guidance

PG&E Corporation management anticipates recommending consistent dividend increases targeting a dividend payout ratio of approximately 20% of

non-GAAP

core earnings per share by 2028. PG&E Corporation believes this target represents an appropriate capital allocation between paying a sufficient dividend and maintaining cash flow for investment in secular growth needs currently emerging in the utility industry. This dividend target is also consistent with prior guidance for total dividend payments over the current five-year planning horizon (2024-2028).

Earnings Guidance

Accounting for the anticipated capital plan and financing activity of PG&E Corporation and its utility subsidiary, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (the “Utility”), PG&E Corporation is affirming its guidance as follows:

•

2024

non-GAAP

Core Earnings Per Share (“EPS”) of

$1.34-$1.37;

•

2025

non-GAAP

Core EPS of

$1.47-$1.51,

representing year-over-year growth of 10% at the midpoint; and

•

non-GAAP

Core EPS growth of at least 9% in each of 2026, 2027, and 2028.

Non-GAAP

Core EPS is a

non-GAAP

financial measure.

Non-GAAP

Core EPS is not a substitute or alternative for GAAP measures such as consolidated income available for common shareholders and may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other companies. Please refer to the reconciliation of

non-GAAP

core EPS to earnings per share, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure, provided with PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s earnings materials for the third quarter of 2024, furnished with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on November 7, 2024.

The information included in Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form

8-K

is being furnished and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed to be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
