Unconsolidated Trusts of SCE
SCE Trust II, Trust III, Trust IV, Trust V, Trust VI, Trust VII and Trust VIII were utilized in 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017, 2023 and 2024, respectively, for the exclusive purpose of issuing the 5.10%, 5.75%, 5.375%, 5.45%, 5.00%, 7.50% and 6.95% trust preference securities, respectively ("trust securities"). The trusts are VIEs. SCE has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs as it does not have the obligation to absorb the expected losses or the right to receive the expected residual returns of the trusts. SCE Trust II, Trust III, Trust IV, Trust V, Trust VI, Trust VII and Trust VIII issued to the public trust securities in the face amounts of $400 million, $275 million, $325 million, $300 million, $475 million, $550 million and $350 million (cumulative, liquidation amounts of $25 per share), respectively, and $10,000 of common stock each to SCE. The trusts invested the proceeds of these trust securities in Series G, Series H, Series J, Series K, Series L, Series M and Series N Preference Stock issued by SCE in the principal amounts of $400 million, $275 million, $325 million, $300 million, $475 million, $550 million and $350 million (cumulative, $2,500 per share liquidation values), respectively, which have substantially the same payment terms as the respective trust securities.
The Series G, Series H, Series J, Series K, Series L, Series M and Series N Preference Stock and the corresponding trust securities do not have a maturity date. Upon any redemption of any shares of the Series G, Series H, Series J, Series K, Series L, Series M or Series N Preference Stock, a corresponding dollar amount of trust securities will be redeemed by the applicable trust. The applicable trust will make distributions at the same rate and on the same dates on the applicable series of trust securities, if and when the SCE board of directors declares and makes dividend payments on the related Preference Stock. The applicable trust will use any dividends it receives on the related Preference Stock to make its corresponding distributions on the applicable series of trust securities. If SCE does not make a dividend payment to any of these trusts, SCE would be prohibited from paying dividends on its common stock. SCE has fully and unconditionally guaranteed the payment of the trust securities and trust distributions, if and when SCE pays dividends on the related Preference Stock.
The Trust II, Trust III, Trust IV, Trust V, Trust VI and Trust VII balance sheets as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 consisted of investments of $220 million, $275 million, $325 million, $300 million, $475 million and $550 million in the Series G, Series H, Series J, Series K, Series L and Series M Preference Stock, respectively, $220 million, $275 million, $325 million, $300 million, $475 million and $550 million of trust securities, respectively, and $10,000 each of common stock. The Trust VIII balance sheet as of June 30, 2024, consisted of investments of $350 million in the Series N Preference Stock (see Note 13 for further information), $350 million of trust securities and $10,000 of common stock.
