Impact Evaluation

• Market Cap Context: The $1.1 billion issuance represents roughly 1.77% of Sempra's $62.13 billion market cap. While significant in absolute terms, debt issuances of this scale are routine for large-cap utilities managing extensive infrastructure.
• Dilution Impact: None. This is a debt offering, not an equity issuance, so there is no share dilution for existing SRE shareholders.
• Transaction Significance: The ability to raise over $1 billion with maturities extending to 2056 signals market confidence in SDG&E's creditworthiness.
