OAKLAND, Calif., July 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Pacific Gas and Electric Company (the "Company") today announced that it is increasing the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount (as defined in the Offer to Purchase referred to below) for its previously announced cash tender offers ("Tender Offers") such that the aggregate purchase price for the Tender Offers will be increased from $1,000,000,000 to $1,200,000,000 of its outstanding 3.30% Senior Notes due December 1, 2027 (the "3.30% Senior Notes") and 2.10% First Mortgage Bonds due August 1, 2027 (the "2.10% First Mortgage Bonds" and, together with the 3.30% Senior Notes, the "Bonds" and, each series, a "series of Bonds"), subject to the order of priority (the "Acceptance Priority Levels" as set forth in the table in the Offer to Purchase).

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Tender Offers, each Holder who validly tenders and does not subsequently validly withdraw its Bonds at or prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on July 31, 2026 (the "Withdrawal Deadline") will be entitled to receive the applicable total consideration ("Tender Offer Consideration"), plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the settlement date if and when such Bonds are accepted for payment. 

The determination of the Tender Offer Consideration will occur at 3:00 p.m., New York City time, July 31, 2026.

The Tender Offers are being made upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated July 27, 2026 (as the same may be amended or supplemented from time to time, including by this news release, the "Offer to Purchase"), including the Financing Condition (as defined in the Offer to Purchase). The Tender Offers are open to all registered holders (the "Holders") of the Bonds. The Company reserves the right, but is under no obligation, to further increase the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount at any time, including on or after the Price Determination Date (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), without extending withdrawal rights except as required by law. Bonds of a series may be subject to proration (as described in the Offer to Purchase) if the aggregate principal amount of the Bonds of such series validly tendered and not validly withdrawn would cause the Aggregate Maximum Tender Amount to be exceeded. 

The minimum denomination for the 3.30% Senior Notes that may be tendered and accepted for payment is hereby amended to be only in principal amounts equal to minimum denominations of $100,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. Holders who do not tender all of their 3.30% Senior Notes must ensure that they retain a principal amount of 3.30% Senior Notes amounting to at least the minimum denomination equal to $100,000. The minimum denominations for the 2.10% First Mortgage Bonds remains unchanged.

Full details of the terms and conditions of the Tender Offers are described in the Offer to Purchase, which was sent by the Company to Holders of the Bonds. Holders of the Bonds are encouraged to read the Offer to Purchase as it contains important information regarding the Tender Offers. The Company's obligation to accept for purchase, and to pay for, the Bonds validly tendered pursuant to the Tender Offers is subject to, and conditioned upon, among other things, the satisfaction or waiver of the Financing Condition.
