SUMMARY OF RISK FACTORS

There are a number of risks you should understand before making an investment decision in our securities or the securities of our subsidiaries. This summary is not intended to be complete and should only be read together with the information set forth in “Part I – Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this report. If any of these risks occurs, Sempra’s and its subsidiaries’ results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and/or prospects could be materially adversely affected, and the trading price of Sempra’s securities and those of its subsidiaries could decline. These risks include the following:

Risks Related to Sempra

▪Sempra’s cash flows, ability to pay dividends and ability to meet its debt obligations largely depend on the performance of its subsidiaries and entities accounted for as equity method investments

▪The economic interest, voting rights and market value of our outstanding common and preferred stock may be adversely affected by any additional equity securities we may issue

Risks Related to All Sempra Businesses

▪Our businesses are subject to risks arising from their infrastructure and information systems

▪Severe weather, natural disasters and other similar events could materially adversely affect us

▪Our debt service obligations expose us to risks and could require additional equity securities issuances by Sempra and sales of equity interests in various subsidiaries or projects under development

▪The availability and cost of debt or equity financing could be negatively affected by market and economic conditions and other factors, and any such effects could materially adversely affect us

▪Credit rating agencies may downgrade our credit ratings or place those ratings on negative outlook

▪Our businesses require numerous permits, licenses, franchises and other approvals from various governmental agencies, and the failure to obtain or maintain any of them, or lengthy delays in obtaining them, could materially adversely affect us

▪Our businesses face climate change concerns and have environmental compliance and clean energy transition costs, which could have a material adverse effect on us

▪Our businesses are subject to numerous governmental regulations and complex tax and accounting requirements and may be materially adversely affected by them or any changes to them

Risks Related to Sempra California

▪Wildfires in California pose risks to Sempra California (particularly SDG&E) and Sempra

▪The electricity industry is undergoing significant change, including increased deployment of DER, technological advancements, and political and regulatory developments

▪Natural gas and natural gas storage have increasingly been the subject of political and public scrutiny, including a desire by some to reduce or eliminate reliance on natural gas as an energy source

▪SDG&E and SoCalGas are subject to extensive regulation by federal, state and local legislative and regulatory authorities, which may materially adversely affect Sempra, SDG&E and SoCalGas

Risks Related to Sempra Texas Utilities

▪Certain ring-fencing measures, governance mechanisms and commitments limit our ability to influence the management, operations and policies of Oncor

▪Changes in the regulation or operation of the electric utility industry and/or the ERCOT market, as well as the outcome of regulatory proceedings, could materially adversely affect Oncor, which could materially adversely affect us
