On September 9, 2024, Sempra (the “Company”) closed its public offering and sale of $1,250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 6.400% Fixed-to-Fixed Reset Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due 2054 (the “notes”). Proceeds to the Company (after deducting underwriting discounts but before deducting offering expenses payable by the Company estimated at approximately $2.6 million) from the sale of the notes were approximately $1,238 million. The sale of the notes was registered under a prospectus supplement and related prospectus filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Company’s effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-272237).

The purchase and sale of the notes was made pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated September 4, 2024, with Barclays Capital Inc., BMO Capital Markets Corp., CIBC World Markets Corp., Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Santander US Capital Markets LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, as the representatives of the several underwriters named on Schedule I thereto, pursuant to which the notes were issued and sold to such underwriters, severally and not jointly, for resale at a public offering price of 100.000% of the aggregate principal amount of the notes. A copy of the underwriting agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Interest on the notes accrues from and including September 9, 2024 and is payable semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of each year, beginning on April 1, 2025, and at maturity on October 1, 2054. The notes bear interest (i) from and including September 9, 2024 to, but excluding, October 1, 2034 at the rate of 6.400% per annum and (ii) from and including October 1, 2034, during each Reset Period at a rate per annum equal to the Five-year U.S. Treasury Rate as of the most recent Reset Interest Determination Date plus a spread of 2.632%, to be reset on each Reset Date. So long as no event of default (as defined) with respect to the notes has occurred and is continuing, the Company may, at its option, defer interest payments on the notes, from time to time, for one or more deferral periods of up to 20 consecutive semi-annual interest payment periods each, except that no such optional deferral period may extend beyond the final maturity date of the notes or end on a day other than the day immediately preceding an interest payment date.

The Company may redeem some or all of the notes, at its option, in whole or in part (i) on any day in the period commencing on the date falling 90 days prior to October 1, 2034 and ending on and including October 1, 2034 and (ii) after October 1, 2034, on any interest payment date, at a redemption price in cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes being redeemed, plus, subject to the terms and conditions of the notes, accrued and unpaid interest on the notes to be redeemed to, but excluding, the redemption date. At the Company’s option, the Company may also redeem all of the notes upon the occurrence of certain specified events at the redemption prices provided therein, plus accrued and unpaid interest on the notes to, but excluding, the redemption date.

The foregoing description of some of the terms of the notes is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by the Officers’ Certificate attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 (the “Officers’ Certificate”), the form of note included therein and the indenture (as defined below). The notes were issued pursuant to an indenture (the “indenture”), dated as of June 26, 2019, between the Company and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as successor in interest to U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee, which is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 4.2 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 26, 2019. The Officers’ Certificate (including the form of note) is incorporated herein by reference.
