Edison International's earnings are prepared in accordance with GAAP used in the United States. Management uses core earnings internally for financial planning and for analysis of performance. Core earnings (losses) are also used when communicating with investors and analysts regarding Edison International's earnings results to facilitate comparisons of the Company's performance from period to period. Core earnings (losses) are a non-GAAP financial measure and may not be comparable to those of other companies. Core earnings (losses) are defined as earnings attributable to Edison International shareholders less income or loss from discontinued operations, income resulting from allocation of losses to tax equity investors under the hypothetical liquidation at book value ("HLBV") accounting method, acquisition expenses and income or loss from significant discrete items that management does not consider representative of ongoing earnings, such as: exit activities, including sale of certain assets and other activities that are no longer continuing; asset impairments and certain tax, regulatory or legal settlements or proceedings.
SCE's core earnings for the three months ended September 30, 2015 were lower by $114 million compared to the same period in 2014 primarily due to lower CPUC-related revenue and income tax benefits, partially offset by an increase in FERC-related revenue from rate base growth. SCE recognized revenue from CPUC activities largely based on the 2015 GRC proposed decision resulting in an estimated revenue refund to customers of $233 million. See "—2015 General Rate Case" and "Results of Operations—Southern California Edison Company" for further information. The revenue requirement ultimately adopted by the CPUC in a final GRC decision will be retroactive to January 1, 2015.

2



SCE's core earnings for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 were lower by $89 million primarily due to lower CPUC-related revenue and lower other income, partially offset by an increase in FERC-related revenue from rate base growth and earnings on funds used during construction.
In addition, income tax benefits were lower in 2015. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, SCE recorded $100 million of income tax benefits from revisions to liabilities for uncertain tax positions for tax years 2010 through 2012. These benefits were partially offset by changes in estimated taxes related to net operating loss carrybacks, interest and state income taxes. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, SCE recorded $85 million of income tax benefits from incremental repair deductions and $29 million of income tax benefits from revisions to liabilities for uncertain tax positions.
Consolidated non-core items included:
Impairment and other charges of $231 million ($96 million after-tax) in the first quarter of 2014 related to the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement (as discussed below). For further information, see "—San Onofre Proceedings, Recoveries, and Decommissioning."
Income (loss) from discontinued operations, net of tax, included:
Loss of $16 million during the third quarter of 2014 and income of $168 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 related to the impact of completing the EME Settlement Agreement. In August 2014, Edison International entered into an amendment of the Settlement Agreement to finalize the remaining matters related to the EME Settlement.
Income tax benefit of $27 million during the third quarter of 2015 from revised estimates of tax benefits based on filing of the tax returns and an income tax loss of $22 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 from revised estimates of the tax impact of a tax deconsolidation of EME from Edison International as originally contemplated prior to the EME Settlement. See 2014 Form 10-K, "Management Overview—Resolution of Uncertainty Related to EME in Bankruptcy."
Income of $16 million ($28 million pre-tax) during the third quarter of 2015 related to insurance recoveries related to the EME bankruptcy.
Income of $1 million and $7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, related to losses allocated to tax equity investors under the HLBV accounting method. Edison International reflected in core earnings the operating results of the solar rooftop projects, related financings and the priority return to the tax equity investor. The losses allocated to the tax equity investor under HLBV accounting method results in income allocated to subsidiaries of Edison International, neither of which is due to the operating performance of the projects but rather due to the allocation of income tax attributes under the tax equity financing. Accordingly, Edison International has included the non-operating allocation of income as a non-core item. For further information on HLBV, see the 2014 Form 10-K, "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies."
2015 General Rate Case
SCE's 2015 GRC application, as amended, requested a base rate revenue requirement of $5.512 billion, which would be a $121 million decrease from currently authorized base rate revenue. On September 18, 2015, the CPUC issued a proposed decision, which, if adopted, would result in a 2015 base rate revenue requirement of $5.159 billion, a decrease of $353 million from SCE's requested revenue requirement, primarily related to operation and maintenance expenses, capital expenditures, and other rate base adjustments. The proposed decision includes a reduction of 2015 capital expenditures of approximately $300 million, primarily in the areas of infrastructure replacement, inspection and maintenance and non-electric facility capital projects. The proposed decision, if adopted, would result in a decrease of approximately $474 million from currently authorized revenue. The proposed decision also continues SCE's flow-through rate-making treatment of tax repair deductions. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 7. Income Taxes" for further discussion.
The proposed decision would allow a post-test year ratemaking methodology that escalates capital additions by 2% for 2016 and 2% for 2017. It would also allow operation and maintenance expense to be escalated for 2016 and 2017 through the use of various escalation factors for labor, non-labor and medical expenses. The methodology adopted in the proposed decision would result in a revenue requirement of $5.429 billion for 2016 and $5.704 billion for 2017.

3



As indicated in the table below, revenue in the 2015 GRC proposed decision is lower than the amount authorized in 2014 due to lower operation and maintenance costs and income taxes. SCE has recognized revenue largely based on the revenue requirement set forth in the proposed decision. The reduction in revenue from estimated refunds to customers was $233 million during the third quarter of 2015 and the total reduction in revenue for the nine months was $318 million. See "Results of Operations—SCE" for further information. The CPUC has authorized the establishment of a GRC memorandum account, which will make the 2015 revenue requirement ultimately adopted by the CPUC effective as of January 1, 2015. A final CPUC decision may be received by year-end and could result in material changes to the proposed decision.
The 2015 GRC proposed decision also includes a reduction in 2015 base rate revenue requirement of approximately $40 million through a rate base adjustment of $344 million as determined by the CPUC to achieve a benefit to customers equal to the increased future customer costs attributable to SCE's election related to 2012 2014 tax repairs. In SCE's filed comments, it requested a modification to eliminate the rate base adjustment on the basis of a number of legal errors including, among other items, that the rate base adjustment affecting the revenue requirements is prohibited as retroactive rate making. As of September 30, 2015, SCE had recorded a net regulatory asset of approximately $380 million related to future cash taxes associated with incremental 2012 2014 repair deductions. SCE has not recorded the potential impact from the rate base adjustment or 2015 incremental repair deductions pending a final decision that would provide clarity on the tax accounting treatment. SCE cannot predict the outcome of this matter. If the final decision mandates future reductions in revenue requirements, SCE would reduce 2015 revenue by the amount determined in the final decision and may record a charge against income to write down some or all of the above regulatory asset.
Capital Program
Total capital expenditures (including accruals) were $2.6 billion for the first nine months of both 2015 and 2014.
SCE’s capital expenditures forecast for the 2015 – 2017 period has been revised since the filing of the 2014 Form 10-K and is now estimated to be in the range of $11.6 billion to $11.8 billion, including $3.9 billion for 2015. The update reflects a reduction in capital expenditures due to the 2015 GRC proposed decision, the Coolwater-Lugo Transmission Project (for more information, see "Liquidity and Capital Resources—SCE—Capital Investment Plan") and revisions to the timing of capital spending for transmission projects. Actual capital spending will be affected by: changes in regulatory, environmental and engineering design requirements; permitting and project delays; cost and availability of labor, equipment and materials; and other factors.
Distribution Resources Plan
As discussed in the 2014 Form 10-K, to support California's greenhouse gas reduction targets, modernize the electric distribution system to accommodate two-way flows of energy associated with distributed energy resources such as rooftop solar, and facilitate customer choice of new technologies and services that reduce emissions and improve resilience, the CPUC initiated a rulemaking to establish policies, procedures and rules to guide investor owned utilities in developing a Distribution Resources Plan ("DRP") proposal. On July 1, 2015, SCE filed its DRP with the CPUC, which included an indicative forecast of capital investment in distribution automation, substation automation, communications systems, technology platforms and applications, and grid reinforcement. Subject to future CPUC guidance, SCE anticipates integrating authorization for revenue to support DRP operation and maintenance and capital spending into future general rate cases, beginning with its 2018 – 2020 GRC, which is expected to be filed on or about September 1, 2016. Capital investments for 2015 – 2017 discussed above may be updated or revised based on developments and guidance received from the CPUC as a part of the DRP rule making, technology availability, pace of distributed energy resource adoption, and other factors.
SCE expects overall capital spending to continue at least in the range of current capital spending forecasts, although the CPUC's approval in future general rate cases of all or part of the capital investment plan supporting SCE's DRP filing could result in higher spending. The timing and amount of capital investments may vary depending upon implementation decisions, including scope and pace of adoption and GRC ratemaking decisions and other CPUC actions.

San Onofre Proceedings, Recoveries, and Decommissioning
As discussed in the 2014 Form 10-K, in November 2014, the CPUC approved the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement that SCE had entered into with TURN, ORA, SDG&E, the Coalition of California Utility Employees, and Friends of the Earth. The San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement resolved the CPUC's investigation regarding the Steam Generator Replacement Project at San Onofre and the related outages and subsequent shutdown of San Onofre. The San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement does not affect proceedings related to recoveries from third parties, but does describe how shareholders and customers will share any potential recoveries. For further discussion of third party recoveries, including claims against MHI and under the NEIL outage insurance, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies—Contingencies—San Onofre Related Matters."
NEIL Insurance Settlement
The San Onofre owners have reached an agreement with NEIL to resolve all insurance claims arising out of the failures of the San Onofre replacement steam generators for a total payment by NEIL of $400 million (SCE's share of which is approximately $313 million). Under the terms of the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement, after reimbursement of the costs incurred in pursuing these claims, the recovery will be allocated 95% to customers and 5% to SCE. For further discussion of recovery under the NEIL outage and property damage insurance, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies—Contingencies—San Onofre Related Matters."
Challenges related to San Onofre CPUC Proceedings
A federal lawsuit challenging the CPUC's authority to permit rate recovery of San Onofre costs and an application to the CPUC for rehearing of its decision approving the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement were filed in November and December 2014, respectively. In April 2015, the federal lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice and the plaintiffs in that case appealed the dismissal to the Ninth Circuit in May 2015. Both the appeal and the application for rehearing remain pending.
In February 2015, SCE filed in the OII proceeding a Late-Filed Notice of Ex Parte Communication regarding a meeting in March 2013 between an SCE senior executive and the president of the CPUC, both of whom have since retired from their respective positions. Following this filing, the Alliance for Nuclear Responsibility ("A4NR"), one of the intervenors in the OII, filed a motion requesting that the CPUC institute an investigation into whether sanctions should be imposed on SCE for the late notice of the March 2013 meeting. The motion requests that the CPUC order SCE to produce all ex parte communications between SCE and the CPUC or its staff since January 31, 2012 and all internal SCE unprivileged communications that discuss such ex parte communications. On May 6, 2015, A4NR amended its motion to recommend that the CPUC impose a $38.2 million penalty on SCE and additional restrictions on ex parte communications.
On April 14, 2015, the OII ALJs ordered SCE, among other things, to produce unprivileged documents pertaining to oral and written communications regarding the possible settlement of the OII proceeding between any SCE employee and CPUC decision makers from March 2013 to November 2014. SCE produced responsive documents and information on April 29, 2015. On June 26, 2015, the ALJs requested additional information, which SCE provided on July 3, 2015. Subsequently, another intervenor, the Coalition to Decommission San Onofre, filed a motion to move the start date for the production of documents under the CPUC's order to January 31, 2012 and to authorize the intervenors to conduct discovery of SCE. On August 5, 2015, the OII ALJ issued a ruling that nine additional communications should have been reported in addition to the March 2013 communication that SCE had reported in February 2015. The ruling dismissed all other pending requests for disclosures by SCE, discovery, or sanctions. In addition, the August 2015 ruling ordered SCE to show cause why it should not be sanctioned for violations of the ex parte rules and two related violations of Rule 1.1. The amount of potential monetary sanctions may vary from $500 to $50,000 per offense and will also depend on whether each offense is considered to be a single or a continuing violation, rendering it subject to a separate fine for each day. SCE responded to the order on August 20, 2015, arguing that the additional communications were not reportable and that sanctions were not justified. On October 20, 2015, SCE submitted to the CPUC additional documents that were responsive to the ALJs' order discussed above. On October 26, 2015, the OII ALJ issued a proposed decision that would impose a penalty of $16.74 million in connection with eight communications that the proposed decision finds should have been reported. The proposed decision does not address the petitions for modification of the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement discussed below.

On April 17, 2015, ORA and TURN issued press releases asking the CPUC to impose penalties on SCE as a sanction for allegedly improper ex parte communications pertaining to San Onofre or failures to report such communications. ORA recommended penalties in the amount of $648 million, representing ORA's calculation of the difference in ratepayer value between ORA's initial settlement negotiating position in the San Onofre OII and the approved settlement. TURN did not recommend a penalty amount.
On April 27, 2015, A4NR filed a petition to modify the CPUC's decision approving the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement based on SCE's alleged failures to disclose communications between SCE and CPUC decision-makers pertaining to the issues in the San Onofre OII. The petition seeks the reversal of the decision approving the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement and reopening of the OII proceeding. Subsequently, TURN and ORA filed responses supporting A4NR's petition to reopen the San Onofre OII proceeding. In August 2015, ORA filed its own petition to modify the CPUC's decision approving the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement seeking to set aside the settlement and reopen the San Onofre OII proceeding. SCE and SDG&E responded to this petition in September 2015. Both petitions remain pending before the CPUC.
On July 6, 2015, a purported securities class action lawsuit was filed in federal court against Edison International, its CEO and CFO. The lawsuit alleges that the defendants violated the securities laws by failing to disclose that Edison International's ex parte contacts with CPUC decision-makers were more extensive than initially reported. The complaint purports to be filed on behalf of a class of persons who acquired Edison International common stock between July 31, 2014 and June 24, 2015.
Subsequently, in July 2015, a federal shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed against members of the Edison International Board of Directors for breach of fiduciary duty and other claims based on similar allegations to the federal securities lawsuit. The derivative lawsuit seeks monetary damages, including punitive damages, and various corporate governance reforms. Two additional federal shareholder derivative lawsuits making essentially the same allegations were filed in August and October 2015.
SCE has produced and is producing documents and is otherwise cooperating with criminal investigations being conducted by the California Attorney General and the U.S. Department of Justice. While the full scope of the investigations is not known to SCE, SCE's document production and cooperation have included information relating to the settlement of the San Onofre OII and interactions between SCE executives and CPUC decision-makers.
Edison International and SCE cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings.
Rate Impacts
Due to the implementation of the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement as of December 31, 2014, customers were refunded approximately $540 million through a reduction in SCE's ERRA undercollection. As a result of collections in 2015 and the reimbursement of 2013 and 2014 San Onofre decommissioning costs discussed below, the ERRA undercollection was fully recovered as of September 30, 2015.
For further information on 2015 ERRA forecast application, see "Liquidity and Capital Resources—SCE—Regulatory Proceedings—ERRA Forecast Filing – 2015" in the year-ended 2014 MD&A. For information on the San Onofre regulatory asset, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 10. Regulatory Assets and Liabilities."
Decommissioning
As discussed in the 2014 Form 10-K, SCE decided to permanently retire and decommission San Onofre Units 2 and 3 on June 6, 2013. For further information about the decommissioning cost estimates, see the 2014 Form 10-K under the headings, "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies—Nuclear Decommissioning and Asset Retirement Obligations" and "Management Overview—Permanent Retirement of San Onofre and San Onofre OII Settlement" in the year-ended 2014 MD&A.
SCE has nuclear decommissioning trust funds for San Onofre Units 2 and 3 of $3.0 billion as of September 30, 2015. If the decommissioning cost estimate and assumptions regarding trust performance do not change, SCE believes that future contributions to the trust funds will not be necessary. The CPUC must issue an order granting approval for withdrawal of decommissioning trust funds.

6



Decommissioning costs incurred in 2013 and 2014 were recorded as operation and maintenance expenses pending the CPUC decision on access to the trusts for reimbursement. Accordingly, such costs were recovered through GRC revenue. Costs incurred for 2013 have been found reasonable under the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement. The CPUC will conduct a reasonableness review for 2014 costs and years going forward. On July 23, 2015, the CPUC approved SCE's request for access to the nuclear decommissioning trusts for reimbursement of 2013 and 2014 Units 2 and 3 decommissioning costs. Under the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement, any recoveries from the nuclear decommissioning trusts of 2013 and 2014 decommissioning costs funded through GRC revenue must be refunded to customers. In August 2015, SCE received $319 million of decommissioning funds and refunded this amount back to customers primarily through ERRA.
Beginning in 2015, SCE must fund decommissioning costs (recorded as a reduction of SCE's asset retirement obligation) until the CPUC approves SCE's request to access the trust funds for that year's costs. SCE expects that the CPUC would approve access for 2015 costs prior to year-end 2015. SCE's share of the decommissioning costs recorded during the first nine months of 2015 were approximately $129 million and are estimated to be approximately $88 million for the remainder of 2015.
Depending on the ultimate interpretation of IRS regulations that address the taxation of a qualified nuclear decommissioning trust, SCE may also be restricted from withdrawing amounts from the qualified decommissioning trusts to pay for independent spent fuel storage installation ("ISFSI") where SCE is seeking, or plans to seek, recovery of the ISFSI costs in litigation against the DOE. SCE's share of ISFSI costs for 2015 (included in the above 2015 decommissioning costs estimate) are currently estimated to be approximately $28 million. SCE has filed for a private letter ruling with the IRS to address this matter based on facts and circumstances related to Units 2 and 3 at San Onofre.
Labor Contract Negotiation
Approximately 3,900 of SCE's full-time employees are covered by collective bargaining agreements with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers ("IBEW"). On September 1, 2015, the parties formally executed the 2015 2017 collective bargaining agreements with SCE that include, among other things, pay increases retroactive to January 1, 2015 and modified benefit plans, generally consistent with the 2015 GRC proposed decision. The IBEW collective bargaining agreements expire on December 31, 2017.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Southern California Edison Company
SCE's results of operations are derived mainly through two sources:
Utility earning activities – representing revenue authorized by the CPUC and FERC which is intended to provide SCE a reasonable opportunity to recover its costs and earn a return on its net investment in generation, transmission and distribution assets. The annual revenue requirements are comprised of authorized operation and maintenance costs, depreciation, taxes and a return consistent with the capital structure. Also, included in utility earnings activities are revenue or penalties related to incentive mechanisms, other operating revenue, and regulatory charges or disallowances.
Utility cost-recovery activities – representing CPUC- and FERC-authorized balancing accounts which allow for recovery of specific project or program costs, subject to reasonableness review or compliance with upfront standards. Utility cost-recovery activities include rates which provide recovery, subject to reasonableness review of, among other things, fuel costs, purchased power costs, public purpose related-program costs (including energy efficiency and demand-side management programs) and certain operation and maintenance expenses.

Revenue Impact of 2015 GRC Proposed Decision
SCE has recognized revenue largely based on the revenue requirement set forth in the proposed GRC decision. The CPUC has authorized the establishment of a GRC memorandum account, which will make the 2015 revenue requirement ultimately adopted by the CPUC effective as of January 1, 2015. A final CPUC decision may be received by year-end and could result in material changes to the proposed decision.
As indicated in the table below, revenue in the 2015 GRC proposed decision is lower than the amount authorized in 2014 due to lower operation and maintenance costs and income taxes. Accordingly, if a final decision adopts the lower 2015 revenue, SCE would refund the excess amount to customers. The total estimated refunds to customers for the nine month period ended September 30, 2015 was $318 million. The reduction in revenue and operating costs reflected in the 2015 GRC proposed decision did not affect the authorized return.
The following table summarizes the proposed decision compared to the amounts of revenue currently authorized:

1     Authorized revenue for operation and maintenance costs decreased due to:
$78 million reduction in cost-recovery activities primarily for pension, postretirement benefits other than pensions (PBOP), medical and results sharing costs. These cost-recovery activities are recorded through balancing accounts and, accordingly, did not impact revenue recognition based on the proposed decision in the 2015 GRC.
$98 million reduction for utility earning activities primarily from SCE's initiatives to improve operational efficiency which has resulted in lower forecasted operation and maintenance costs than included in the 2014 authorized amounts.
2 
Authorized revenue for income taxes decreased due to flow-through items for income tax benefits primarily tax repairs and cost of removal deductions. Forecasted flow-through items increased in the 2015 GRC from the amounts reflected in 2014 authorized revenue which is reflected as lower revenue requirement.
SCE recorded an estimated revenue refund to customers of $233 million during the third quarter of 2015. Revenue recognition for the first and second quarters of 2015 were based largely on 2014 authorized revenue currently in rates. Had revenue during the first and second quarter of 2015 been determined on the same basis as the 2015 GRC proposed decision used during the third quarter, revenue and net income in each quarter would have been approximately $37 million and $22 million lower with an offsetting reduction in the third quarter (no impact on the nine months results of operations). These amounts represent the impact of a change in estimate regarding refunds to customers during the third quarter when it was determined that it was probable that SCE would make additional refunds to customers.

Utility Earning Activities
Utility earning activities were primarily affected by the following:
Lower operating revenue of $173 million primarily due to the following:
A decrease in CPUC-related revenue of $190 million primarily due to an estimated revenue refund to customers of $233 million, as discussed above, partially offset by a net increase in San Onofre-related revenue of $48 million due to the implementation of the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement. Revenue for San Onofre during the third quarter of 2015 primarily related to recovery of amortization of the regulatory asset and authorized return as provided by the San Onofre Settlement Agreement compared to revenue during the third quarter of 2014 related to recovery of San Onofre's cost of service. See "Management Overview—San Onofre Proceedings, Recoveries, and Decommissioning" above for more information.
An increase in FERC-related revenue of $15 million primarily related to rate base growth and higher operating costs.
Lower operation and maintenance expense of $8 million primarily due to San Onofre-related expense of $23 million in the third quarter of 2014 partially offset by severance costs of $7 million and higher outside service costs in the third quarter of 2015. Beginning January 1, 2015, expense related to San Onofre has been classified as decommissioning costs and recorded as a reduction to SCE's asset retirement obligation.
Higher depreciation, decommissioning and amortization expense of $81 million primarily due to San Onofre-related expense of $69 million in 2015 related to the amortization of the regulatory asset and a $12 million increase in depreciation primarily related to transmission and distribution investments. In accordance with the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement, SCE is authorized to recover in rates its San Onofre regulatory asset over a ten-year period. For further information on the San Onofre regulatory asset, see the 2014 Form 10-K, "Management Overview—Permanent Retirement of San Onofre and San Onofre OII Settlement" and "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 10. Regulatory Assets and Liabilities."
Higher property and other taxes of $8 million primarily due to higher property assessed values in 2015.

9



Higher other income and expenses of $6 million primarily due to a $15 million penalty recorded in 2014 resulting from the San Bernardino and San Gabriel settlements and higher AFUDC equity income related to a higher rate, partially offset by a $7 million sales tax refund related to San Onofre received in 2014 and lower insurance benefits in 2015. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 14. Interest and Other Income and Other Expenses" for more information.
Lower income taxes of $132 million primarily due to lower pre-tax income in 2015, as discussed above, and higher income tax benefits in 2015 primarily related to repair deductions. See "—Income Taxes" below for more information.
Utility Cost-Recovery Activities
Utility cost-recovery activities were primarily affected by the following:
Lower purchased power and fuel of $397 million primarily driven by lower power and gas prices in 2015 relative to 2014. Fuel costs were $57 million and $77 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.
Lower operation and maintenance expense of $12 million primarily due to lower benefit costs partially offset by higher transmission access charges.

Utility Earning Activities
Utility earning activities were primarily affected by the following:
Lower operating revenue of $153 million primarily due to the following:
A decrease in CPUC-related revenue of $230 million primarily due to an estimated revenue refund to customers of $318 million, as discussed above, partially offset by a net increase in San Onofre-related revenue of $82 million due to the implementation of the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement. Revenue for San Onofre during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 primarily related to recovery of amortization of the regulatory asset and authorized return as provided by the San Onofre Settlement Agreement compared to revenue during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 related to recovery of San Onofre's cost of service. See "Management Overview—San Onofre Proceedings, Recoveries, and Decommissioning" above for more information.
An increase in FERC-related revenue of $75 million primarily related to rate base growth and higher operating costs. During the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, SCE recorded $15 million and $19 million, respectively, of additional revenue from a change in estimate under the FERC formula rate mechanism.
Lower operation and maintenance expense of $46 million primarily due to San Onofre-related expense of $64 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. Beginning January 1, 2015, expense related to San Onofre has been classified as decommissioning costs and recorded as a reduction to SCE's asset retirement obligation. This decrease was partially offset by higher severance costs related to workforce reduction efforts ($17 million in 2015 and $9 million in 2014) and higher outside service costs in 2015.
Higher depreciation, decommissioning and amortization expense of $200 million primarily due to San Onofre-related expense of $139 million in 2015 related to the amortization of the regulatory asset and a $61 million increase in depreciation primarily related to transmission and distribution investments.
Higher property and other taxes of $22 million primarily due to higher property assessed values in 2015.
Impairment and other charges of $231 million in the first quarter of 2014 related to the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement. For further information, see "Management Overview—San Onofre Proceedings, Recoveries, and Decommissioning."
Higher other income and expenses of $1 million primarily due to a $15 million penalty recorded in 2014 resulting from the San Bernardino and San Gabriel settlements and higher AFUDC equity income related to a higher rate and higher construction work in progress balances in 2015. These increases were offset by $15 million in generator settlements received in 2014, a $7 million sales tax refund related to San Onofre received in 2014 and lower insurance benefits in 2015. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 14. Interest and Other Income and Other Expenses" for more information.
Lower income taxes of $103 million primarily due to the following:
An increase in income tax benefits in 2015 primarily related to repair deductions.
A change in liabilities related to uncertain tax positions related to repair deductions, which resulted in income tax benefits of $100 million and $29 million during the second quarters of 2015 and 2014, respectively. See "—Income Taxes" below for more information.
A lower pre-tax income in 2015, as discussed above, partially offset by the impact of the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement.
Utility Cost-Recovery Activities
Utility cost-recovery activities were primarily affected by the following:
Lower purchased power and fuel of $915 million primarily driven by lower power and gas prices in 2015 relative to 2014 and the CAISO generation surcharge of $83 million in 2014 (as discussed below). These decreases were partially offset by higher realized losses on economic hedging activities ($103 million in 2015 compared to $59 million in 2014) and the generator settlements received in 2014 (see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 14. Interest and Other Income and Other Expenses" for more information). Fuel costs were $132 million and $219 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

11



As discussed above, during the second quarter of 2014, the CAISO issued invoices implementing a FERC order which revised FERC tariffs for costs associated with scheduling coordinator activities. The impact of implementing the order and revised invoices resulted in a transmission refund of $106 million reflected in operation and maintenance expense and a generation surcharge of $83 million reflected in purchased power expense. These transactions did not impact earnings as the net refund was provided to customers through a FERC balancing account mechanism.
Lower operation and maintenance expense of $40 million primarily due to lower spending on various public purpose programs, lower pension expenses and a decrease in transmission access charges, partially offset by the 2014 CAISO refund of $106 million mentioned above.
Supplemental Operating Revenue Information
SCE's retail billed and unbilled revenue (excluding wholesale sales and balancing account overcollections/undercollections) was $4.3 billion and $9.7 billion for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, compared to $4.5 billion and $9.7 billion for the respective periods in 2014.
Retail billed and unbilled revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2015 were lower compared to the same period last year primarily due to a rate decrease of $120 million. The decrease was primarily due to the implementation of the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement, which resulted in a rate adjustment beginning on January 1, 2015.
Retail billed and unbilled revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 reflects a rate increase of $115 million offset by a sales volume decrease of $117 million. The rate increase was primarily due to the implementations of the 2014 ERRA rate increase in June 2014 and the San Onofre-related rate adjustment in January 2015. The sales volume decrease was due to lower load requirements related to cooler weather experienced in 2015 compared to the same period last year.
As a result of the CPUC-authorized decoupling mechanism, SCE earnings are not affected by changes in retail electricity sales (see "Business—SCE—Overview of Ratemaking Process" in the 2014 Form 10-K).
Income Taxes
SCE's income tax provision decreased by $132 million and $103 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2014.
The effective tax rates were 18.1% and 29.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The effective tax rate decrease was primarily due to higher income tax benefits related to repair deductions, as discussed above.
The effective tax rates were 15.1% and 21.1% for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The effective tax rate decrease was primarily due to higher income tax benefits related to repair deductions (as discussed above) and the change in liabilities related to uncertain tax positions, partially offset by income tax benefits in 2014 related to the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement. See "Management Overview—San Onofre Proceedings, Recoveries, and Decommissioning" above for more information.
See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 7. Income Taxes" for a reconciliation of the federal statutory rate of 35% to the effective income tax rates and "Management Overview—2015 General Rate Case" above for more information.

The loss from continuing operations of Edison International Parent and Other increased $4 million and decreased $3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, compared to the same periods in 2014 primarily due to:
A decrease in the loss of Edison International Parent and Other primarily due to higher income tax benefits in the third quarter of 2015 and lower corporate expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.
An decrease in income from EMG and subsidiaries of $12 million and $8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, primarily due to lower income from affordable housing projects, including asset sales, and income taxes. EMG's subsidiary, Edison Capital, continues to wind down its remaining affordable housing investments. For further information, see "Liquidity and Capital Resources—Edison International Parent and Other." Earnings from Edison Capital were $1 million and $10 million for three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, compared to $9 million and $13 million for the respective periods in 2014.
An increase in income allocated to subsidiaries of Edison Energy Group under the HLBV accounting method that resulted in losses allocated to tax equity investors ($1 million and $7 million after-tax for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively). This increase was partially offset by higher operating expenses for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. For further information, see the 2014 Form 10-K, "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies" and "Management Overview—Highlights of Operating Results."
Income (Loss) from Discontinued Operations (Net of Tax)
Income from discontinued operations, net of tax, was $43 million for the three- and nine-month periods in 2015 compared to a loss of $16 million and income of $146 million for the respective periods in 2014. The 2015 income was due to $16 million in insurance recoveries ($28 million pre-tax) related to the EME bankruptcy and $27 million of income tax benefits from revised estimates of tax benefits based on filing of the 2014 tax returns in the third quarter of 2015. The 2014 loss and income were due to the completion of the Amended Plan of Reorganization, including transactions recorded in the first nine months of 2014 and other impacts of the EME Settlement. The nine months of 2014 also reflects a $22 million income tax loss from revised estimates of the tax impact of a tax deconsolidation of EME as originally contemplated prior to the EME Settlement. See 2014 Form 10-K, "Management Overview—Resolution of Uncertainty Related to EME in Bankruptcy."    
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Southern California Edison Company
SCE's ability to operate its business, fund capital expenditures, and implement its business strategy is dependent upon its cash flow and access to the bank and capital markets. SCE's overall cash flows fluctuate based on, among other things, its ability to recover its costs in a timely manner from its customers through regulated rates, changes in commodity prices and volumes, collateral requirements, interest obligations and dividend payments to Edison International, and the outcome of tax and regulatory matters.
SCE expects to fund its 2015 obligations, capital expenditures and dividends through operating cash flows, and capital market financings of debt and preferred equity, as needed. SCE also has availability under its credit facilities to fund liquidity requirements.

13



Available Liquidity
At September 30, 2015, SCE had approximately $2.2 billion available under its $2.75 billion multi-year revolving credit facility. For further details, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 5. Debt and Credit Agreements."
Debt Covenant
The debt covenant in SCE's credit facility limits its debt to total capitalization ratio to less than or equal to 0.65 to 1. At September 30, 2015, SCE's debt to total capitalization ratio was 0.44 to 1.
Regulatory Proceedings
Energy Efficiency Incentive Mechanism
In June 2015, SCE filed a request for energy efficiency incentives of approximately $12 million related to Part 1 of its 2014 program year. In September 2015, SCE filed a request for energy efficiency incentives of $10.5 million related to Part 2 of its 2013 program year. There is no assurance that the CPUC will make an award for any given year.

As discussed in the 2014 10-K, TURN and ORA filed separate petitions in November 2014 with the CPUC asking for the rehearing of the December 2010 decision that trued up the California investor-owned utilities energy efficiency incentive awards for the 2006 2008 program period. TURN and ORA alleged that ex parte communications between PG&E and the former president of the CPUC, which were disclosed in an October 2014 report filed by PG&E, demonstrated a quid pro quo that tainted the 2010 energy efficiency decision and that the decision should be vacated. In September 2015, the CPUC granted these separate petitions as well as other TURN and ORA requests for rehearing of other decisions related to the 2006 2008 incentive awards. SCE continues to dispute that SCE should be at risk to repay previously awarded incentives but cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding.

FERC Formula Rates
In June 2015, SCE provided its preliminary 2016 annual transmission revenue requirement update to interested parties. The update provided support for an increase in SCE's transmission revenue requirement of $188 million or 21% over amounts currently authorized in rates. The increase is mainly due to the completion of several major transmission projects in 2014 and the completion in 2014 of refunds from an over-recovery in 2013. SCE expects to file its 2016 annual update with the FERC by December 1, 2015 and the proposed rates would be effective from January 1, 2016.

ERRA Forecast Filing – 2015
As discussed in the 2014 10-K, in December 2014, the CPUC issued a proposed decision on SCE's 2015 ERRA forecast application. Due to substantially lower natural gas and power prices as compared to the forecast levels incorporated in the revenue requirement in the proposed decision, in July 2015 SCE and the intervening parties entered into an all-party settlement agreement that would keep 2015 ERRA rates substantially at their current levels. The CPUC approved the settlement in October 2015.
Capital Investment Plan
SCE forecasts capital expenditures for 2015 – 2017 in the range of $11.6 billion to $11.8 billion. The forecast includes the level of spending in the 2015 GRC proposed decision. The low end of the range reflects a 12% reduction from requested levels primarily for FERC projects using management judgment based on historical experience. The completion of projects, the timing of expenditures, and the associated cost recovery may be affected by permitting requirements and delays, construction schedules, availability of labor, equipment and materials, financing, legal and regulatory approvals and developments, community requests or protests, weather and other unforeseen conditions.

SCE's 2015 – 2017 forecast for major capital expenditures are set forth in the table below:

Capital expenditures for projects under CPUC jurisdiction are recovered through the authorized revenue requirement in SCE's GRCs or through other CPUC-authorized mechanisms. Recovery of planned capital expenditures for projects under CPUC jurisdiction for 2015 – 2017 are subject to the outcome of the 2015 GRC or other CPUC approvals. Recovery for 2015 – 2017 planned expenditures for projects under FERC jurisdiction will be pursued through FERC-authorized mechanisms.
Transmission Projects
Coolwater-Lugo Transmission Project
The Coolwater-Lugo Project would provide additional 220 kV transmission capacity in the Kramer Junction and Lucerne Valley areas of San Bernardino County. In March 2015, the CAISO filed comments with the CPUC stating that the Coolwater-Lugo project is not necessary to provide full capacity deliverability and requested that the CPUC suspend its approval proceeding for the project. In May 2015, the CPUC issued a final decision that dismissed the approval proceeding but would allow SCE to apply for new approval if future studies determine that there is residual need for any elements of the project. SCE's capital expenditures for the Coolwater-Lugo project were projected to be $740 million, of which $584 million was for the 2015 2017 period, and have been removed from the capital expenditure forecast. SCE previously obtained authorization from the FERC, which allows SCE to seek recovery of 100% of reasonable abandoned plant costs if the project is abandoned for reasons beyond SCE's control.
Dividend Restrictions
The CPUC regulates SCE's capital structure which limits the dividends it may pay Edison International. SCE may make distributions to Edison International as long as the common equity component of SCE's capital structure remains at or above 48% on a 13-month weighted average basis. At September 30, 2015, SCE's 13-month weighted-average common equity component of total capitalization was 49.5% and the maximum additional dividend, taking into account declared but unpaid dividends, that SCE could pay to Edison International under this limitation was approximately $345 million, resulting in a restriction on net assets of approximately $13.6 billion.
SCE paid the $147 million dividend declared in June 2015 to Edison International during the third quarter of 2015. In August 2015, SCE declared another $147 million dividend to Edison International which will be paid in the fourth quarter of 2015. Future dividend amounts and timing of distributions are dependent on a number of factors including the level of capital expenditures, operating cash flows and earnings.

15



Margin and Collateral Deposits
Certain derivative instruments, power procurement contracts and other contractual arrangements contain collateral requirements. Future collateral requirements may differ from the requirements at September 30, 2015, due to the addition of incremental power and energy procurement contracts with collateral requirements, if any, and the impact of changes in wholesale power and natural gas prices on SCE's contractual obligations.
Some of the power procurement contracts contain provisions that require SCE to maintain an investment grade credit rating from the major credit rating agencies. If SCE's credit rating were to fall below investment grade, SCE may be required to pay the liability or post additional collateral.
The table below provides the amount of collateral posted by SCE to its counterparties as well as the potential collateral that would have been required as of September 30, 2015.

2 
Incremental collateral requirements were based on potential changes in SCE's forward positions as of September 30, 2015 due to adverse market price movements over the remaining lives of the existing power procurement contracts using a 95% confidence level.
Edison International Parent and Other
Edison International Parent and Other's liquidity and its ability to pay operating expenses and dividends to common shareholders are dependent on dividends from SCE, realization of tax benefits and access to bank and capital markets.
At September 30, 2015, Edison International Parent had $512 million available under its $1.25 billion multi-year revolving credit facility. For further details, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 5. Debt and Credit Agreements."
Edison International may finance working capital requirements, payment of obligations and capital investments, including capital contributions to subsidiaries to fund new businesses, with commercial paper or other borrowings, subject to availability in the capital markets.
The debt covenant in Edison International Parent's credit facility requires a consolidated debt to total capitalization ratio as defined in the credit agreement of less than or equal to 0.65 to 1. At September 30, 2015, Edison International Parent's consolidated debt to total capitalization ratio was 0.48 to 1.
In August 2014, Edison International entered into an amendment of the EME Settlement Agreement that finalized the remaining matters related to the EME Settlement. Edison International made a payment of $204 million on September 30, 2015 and is obligated to make another payment of $214 million on September 30, 2016. Edison International has net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards retained by EME which are available to offset future consolidated taxable income or tax liabilities. As a result of the extension of 50% bonus depreciation for qualifying property under the Tax Increase Prevention Act of 2014, realization of these tax benefits has been deferred (currently forecasted through 2018). The timing of realization of these tax benefits may be further delayed in the event of future extensions of bonus depreciation and the value of the net operating loss carryforwards could be permanently reduced in the event that tax reform decreases the current corporate tax rate.

Changes in working capital items include receivables, inventory, accounts payable, prepaid and accrued taxes, and other current assets and liabilities.
3 Includes the nuclear decommissioning trusts.
Net cash provided by operating activities were impacted by the following:
Net cash used from working capital was $682 million and $729 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The cash outflow for each period was primarily related to the timing of receipts from customers (increase in billed and unbilled receivables due to seasonal usage) and timing of disbursements (including purchase power payments due to seasonal usage and annual compensation payments).
Net cash provided by regulatory assets and liabilities, including changes in over (under) collections of balancing accounts. SCE has a number of balancing accounts under CPUC decisions, which impact cash flows based on differences between timing of collection of amounts through rates and accrual expenditures. During the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, cash flows were impacted by the two principal balancing accounts:
ERRA collections for fuel and purchased power increased $1.1 billion during the first nine months of 2015 primarily due to lower than forecasted power and gas prices experienced in 2015 and the refund to ratepayers related to the 2013 and 2014 nuclear decommissioning costs, see "Management Overview—San Onofre Proceedings, Recoveries, Decommissioning" for further discussion. ERRA undercollections for fuel and purchased power increased $565 million in the first nine months of 2014 primarily due to higher purchased power than the forecast purchases included in customer rates in addition to higher gas prices. In January 2015, SCE reclassified the regulatory liability for generator settlements to ERRA to refund customers.


17



The base rate revenue balancing account ("BRRBA") tracks differences between amounts authorized by the CPUC in the GRC proceedings and amounts billed to customers. BRRBA overcollections increased $74 million in the first nine months of 2015 primarily due to higher summer usage partially offset by lower rates (see "Results of Operations—Supplemental Operating Revenue Information" for further discussion of rate changes). BRRBA overcollections decreased $4 million in the first nine months of 2014 primarily due to a refund to customers of approximately $150 million related to the sale of Four Corners in December 2013 offset by higher rates and higher than forecasted sales.
The public purpose and energy efficiency programs track differences between amounts authorized by the CPUC and amounts incurred to fund programs established by the CPUC. Overcollections decreased for these programs by $120 million and $205 million in the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, respectively, primarily due to higher spending for these programs.
Net cash provided by regulatory assets and liabilities also consisted of a cash inflow of $318 million in 2015 due to revenue collected from customers that is estimated to be refunded as part of the 2015 GRC proposed decision and $380 million in 2014 due to cash collected in excess of cost of service for San Onofre. See "Results of Operations" for further discussion.
Cash flows (used in) provided by other noncurrent assets and liabilities were $(180) million and $286 million in the first nine months of 2015 and 2014, respectively. During 2015, decommissioning costs of San Onofre were approximately $129 million (such costs were recorded as a reduction of SCE's asset retirement obligation). The change in operating activities of the nuclear decommissioning trusts, as described below, is also included as part of cash flow (used in) or provided by other noncurrent assets and liabilities.
Net Cash (Used in) Provided by Financing Activities
The following table summarizes cash (used in) provided by financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. Issuances of debt are discussed in "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 5. Debt and Credit Agreements—Long-Term Debt."

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities
Cash flows used in investing activities are primarily due to capital expenditures and funding of nuclear decommissioning trusts. Capital expenditures were $3.1 billion and $2.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, primarily related to transmission, distribution and generation investments. Net proceeds (purchases) of nuclear decommissioning trust investments were $242 million and $(105) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The 2015 net proceeds from sale of nuclear decommissioning trust investments was used to pay 2013 and 2014 decommissioning costs less net earnings during the period. The 2014 net purchase of nuclear decommissioning trust investments was due to net earnings during the period.

Net cash (used in) provided by operating activities of the nuclear decommissioning trusts relate to interest and dividends less administrative expenses, taxes and decommissioning costs. Such activities represent the source (use) of the funds for investing activities. The net cash impact represents the contributions made by SCE to the nuclear decommissioning trusts. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, SCE made a contribution of $7 million to the non-qualified decommissioning trust pursuant to a CPUC decision related to decommissioning costs for San Onofre Unit 1.
In future periods, SCE expects decommissioning costs of San Onofre to increase significantly. Such amounts will continue to be reflected as a decrease in SCE net cash provided by operating activities and will be funded from sales of investments of the nuclear decommissioning trusts once approved by the CPUC. Decommissioning costs incurred prior to CPUC approval will be funded by SCE and are reflected as cash flow used by operating activities. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 9. Investments" for further information.

Contingencies
SCE has contingencies related to San Onofre Related Matters, Long Beach Service Interruptions, Nuclear Insurance, Wildfire Insurance and Spent Nuclear Fuel which are discussed in "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies."
Environmental Remediation
As of September 30, 2015, SCE had identified 19 material sites for remediation and recorded an estimated minimum liability of $137 million. SCE expects to recover 90% of its remediation costs at certain sites. See "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies" for further discussion.
MARKET RISK EXPOSURES
Edison International's and SCE's primary market risks include fluctuations in interest rates, commodity prices and volumes, and counterparty credit. Fluctuations in interest rates can affect earnings and cash flows. Fluctuations in commodity prices and volumes and counterparty credit losses may temporarily affect cash flows, but are not expected to affect earnings due to expected recovery through regulatory mechanisms. Derivative instruments are used, as appropriate, to manage market risks including market risks of SCE's customers. For a further discussion of market risk exposures, including commodity price risk, credit risk and interest rate risk, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 6. Derivative Instruments" and "—Note 4. Fair Value Measurements."
Commodity Price Risk
The fair value of outstanding derivative instruments used to mitigate exposure to commodity price risk was a net liability of $1.1 billion and $927 million at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 respectively. For further discussion of fair value measurements and the fair value hierarchy, see "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 4. Fair Value Measurements."
Credit Risk
Credit risk exposure from counterparties for power and gas trading activities is measured as the sum of net accounts receivable (accounts receivable less accounts payable) and the current fair value of net derivative assets (derivative assets less derivative liabilities) reflected on the consolidated balance sheets. SCE enters into master agreements which typically provide for a right of setoff. Accordingly, SCE's credit risk exposure from counterparties is based on a net exposure under these arrangements. SCE manages the credit risk on the portfolio for both rated and non-rated counterparties based on credit ratings using published ratings of counterparties and other publicly disclosed information, such as financial statements, regulatory filings, and press releases, to guide it in the process of setting credit levels, risk limits and contractual arrangements, including master netting agreements.

As of September 30, 2015, the amount of balance sheet exposure as described above broken down by the credit ratings of SCE's counterparties, was as follows:

Exposure excludes amounts related to contracts classified as normal purchases and sales and non-derivative contractual commitments that are not recorded on the consolidated balance sheets, except for any related net accounts receivable.
3 
The exposure in this category relates to long-term power purchase agreements. SCE's exposure is mitigated by regulatory treatment.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
Note 1.    Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization and Basis of Presentation
Edison International is the parent holding company of Southern California Edison Company ("SCE"). SCE is an investor-owned public utility primarily engaged in the business of supplying and delivering electricity to an approximately 50,000 square mile area of southern California. Edison International is also the parent company of Edison Energy Group, a company that holds interests in subsidiaries that are engaged in competitive businesses related to the generation, delivery, or use of electricity. Such competitive business activities are currently not material to report as a separate business segment. These combined notes to the consolidated financial statements apply to both Edison International and SCE unless otherwise described. Edison International's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Edison International, SCE and other wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries. References to Edison International refer to the consolidated group of Edison International and its subsidiaries. References to Edison International Parent and Other refer to Edison International Parent and its nonutility subsidiaries. SCE's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of SCE and its wholly owned and controlled subsidiaries. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated from the consolidated financial statements.
Edison International's and SCE's significant accounting policies were described in Note 1 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included in the 2014 Form 10-K. This quarterly report should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes included in the 2014 Form 10-K.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting of recurring accruals, have been made that are necessary to fairly state the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for the periods covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q. The results of operations for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.
The December 31, 2014 financial statement data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Cash Equivalents
Cash equivalents included investments in money market funds. Generally, the carrying value of cash equivalents equals the fair value, as these investments have original maturities of three months or less. The cash equivalents were as follows:

San Onofre Impairment and Other Charges
As discussed in Note 1 of "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements" included in the 2014 Form 10-K, in March 2014, SCE entered into a settlement agreement with The Utility Reform Network ("TURN"), the CPUC's Office of Ratepayer Advocates ("ORA"), San Diego Gas & Electric Company ("SDG&E"), the Coalition of California Utility Employees, and Friends of the Earth (together, the "Settling Parties") related to the regulatory proceedings for San Onofre. SCE recorded a pre-tax charge of approximately $231 million (approximately $96 million after-tax) in the first quarter of 2014.
In September 2014, SCE and the Settling Parties entered into an Amended and Restated Settlement Agreement (the "San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement") which was approved by the CPUC on November 20, 2014. As a result of these developments, SCE revised the pre-tax charge to $163 million (approximately $72 million after-tax) in the fourth quarter of 2014. Including amounts previously recorded in 2013, the total impact of the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement was a pre-tax charge of $738 million (approximately $437 million after-tax). See Note 11 for further information.
Revenue Recognition

Operating revenue is recognized when electricity is delivered and includes amounts for services rendered but unbilled at the
end of each reporting period. During the first nine months of 2015, pending the outcome of the 2015 GRC, SCE recognized
GRC-related revenue largely based on the revenue requirement set forth in the 2015 GRC proposed decision received in September 2015. The CPUC has authorized the establishment of a GRC memorandum account, which will make the 2015 revenue requirement ultimately adopted by the CPUC effective as of January 1, 2015. A final CPUC decision may be received by year-end and could result in material changes to the proposed decision. See Note 10 for further information.

Earnings Per Share
Edison International computes earnings per common share ("EPS") using the two-class method, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating security. Edison International's participating securities are stock-based compensation awards payable in common shares, including performance shares and restricted stock units, which earn dividend equivalents on an equal basis with common shares once the awards are vested. EPS attributable to Edison International common shareholders was computed as follows:

In addition to the participating securities discussed above, Edison International also may award stock options which are payable in common shares and are included in the diluted earnings per share calculation. Stock option awards to purchase 2,054,876 and 38,800 shares of common stock for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively,

and 2,054,876 and 62,885 shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, were outstanding, but were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the exercise price of the awards was greater than the average market price of the common shares during the respective periods and, therefore, the effect would have been antidilutive.
New Accounting Guidance
Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
On July 22, 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update on inventory. Currently, inventory is measured at the lower of cost or market where market could be one of three different measurements. Under the new guidance, inventory (other than for the LIFO or the retail inventory methods) will be subsequently measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. This standard is effective prospectively on January 1, 2016 and is not expected to have a material impact on Edison International’s and SCE's consolidated financial statements.
On May 28, 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update on revenue recognition including enhanced disclosures. Under the new standard, revenue is recognized when (or as) a good or service is transferred to the customer and the customer obtains control of the good or service. On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved a one-year deferral, updating the effective date to January 1, 2018. Edison International and SCE are currently evaluating this new guidance and cannot determine the impact of this standard at this time.
On April 7, 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standards update that will require debt issuance costs to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. Currently, these costs are presented as a deferred charge asset. Edison International and SCE will adopt this guidance in the first quarter of 2016. The adoption of this accounting standards update is not expected to have a material impact on Edison International's and SCE's consolidated financial statements.
On April 15, 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standard update on fees paid by a customer for software licenses. This new standard provides guidance about whether a cloud computing arrangement includes a software license which may be capitalized in certain circumstances. If a cloud computing arrangement does not include a software license, then the arrangement should be accounted for as a service contract. Edison International and SCE are currently evaluating this guidance, which is effective January 1, 2016, and expects this new standard will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Note 3.    Variable Interest Entities
A VIE is defined as a legal entity that meets one of two conditions: (1) the equity owners do not have sufficient equity at risk, or (2) the holders of the equity investment at risk, as a group, lack any of the following three characteristics: decision-making rights, the obligation to absorb losses, or the right to receive the expected residual returns of the entity. The primary beneficiary is identified as the variable interest holder that has both the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The primary beneficiary is required to consolidate the VIE. A subsidiary of Edison International is the primary beneficiary of an entity that owns rooftop solar projects. Commercial and operating activities are generally the factors that most significantly impact the economic performance of such VIEs. Commercial and operating activities include construction, operation and maintenance, fuel procurement, dispatch and compliance with regulatory and contractual requirements.
Variable Interest in VIEs that are not Consolidated
Power Purchase Contracts
SCE has power purchase agreements ("PPAs") that are classified as variable interests in VIEs, including tolling agreements through which SCE provides the natural gas to fuel the plants and contracts with qualifying facilities ("QFs") that contain variable pricing provisions based on the price of natural gas. SCE has concluded that it is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs since it does not control the commercial and operating activities of these entities. Since payments for capacity are the primary source of income, the most significant economic activity for these VIEs is the operation and maintenance of the power plants.
As of the balance sheet date, the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in SCE's consolidated balance sheet that relate to its involvement with VIEs result from amounts due under the PPAs or the fair value of those derivative contracts. Under these contracts, SCE recovers the costs incurred through demonstration of compliance with its CPUC-approved long-term power procurement plans. SCE has no residual interest in the entities and has not provided or guaranteed any debt or equity support, liquidity arrangements, performance guarantees or other commitments associated with these contracts other than the purchase commitments described in Note 11 of the 2014 Form 10-K. As a result, there is no significant potential exposure to loss to SCE from its variable interest in these VIEs. The aggregate contracted capacity dedicated to SCE from these VIE projects was 4,062 MW and 5,341 MW at September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and the amounts that SCE paid to these projects were $270 million and $319 million for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $451 million and $526 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. These amounts are recoverable in customer rates, subject to reasonableness review.

35



Unconsolidated Trusts of SCE
SCE Trust I, Trust II, Trust III, and Trust IV were formed in 2012, 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively, for the exclusive purpose of issuing the 5.625%, 5.10%, 5.75%, and 5.375% 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 I, Trust II, Trust III and Trust IV issued to the public trust securities in the face amounts of $475 million, $400 million, $275 million and $325 million, respectively, (cumulative, liquidation amounts of $25 per share) and $10,000 of common stock each to SCE. The trusts invested the proceeds of these trust securities in Series F, Series G, Series H, and Series J Preference Stock issued by SCE in the principal amounts of $475 million, $400 million, $275 million and $325 million (cumulative, $2,500 per share liquidation values), respectively, which have substantially the same payment terms as the respective trust securities.
The Series F, Series G, Series H and Series J Preference Stock and the corresponding trust securities do not have a maturity date. Upon any redemption of any shares of the Series F, Series G, Series H or Series J Preference Stock, a corresponding dollar amount of trust securities will be redeemed by the applicable trust (see Note 12 for further information). The applicable trust will make distributions at the same rate and on the same dates on the applicable series of trust securities when and if the SCE board of directors declares and makes dividend payments on the Series F, Series G, Series H or Series J Preference Stock. The applicable trust will use any dividends it receives on the Series F, Series G, Series H or Series J 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 Series F, Series G, Series H and Series J Preference Stock.
The Trust I, Trust II and Trust III balance sheets as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, consisted of investments of $475 million, $400 million and $275 million in the Series F, Series G and Series H Preference Stock, respectively, $475 million, $400 million and $275 million of trust securities, respectively, and $10,000 each of common stock. The Trust IV balance sheet as of September 30, 2015 consisted of investments of $325 million in the Series J Preference Stock, $325 million of trust securities, and $10,000 of common stock.

Note 4.    Fair Value Measurements
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date (referred to as an "exit price"). Fair value of an asset or liability considers assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about nonperformance risk. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, nonperformance risk was not material for Edison International and SCE.
Assets and liabilities are categorized into a three-level fair value hierarchy based on valuation inputs used to determine fair value.
Level 1 – The fair value of Edison International's and SCE's Level 1 assets and liabilities is determined using unadjusted quoted prices in active markets that are available at the measurement date for identical assets and liabilities. This level includes exchange-traded equity securities, U.S. treasury securities, mutual funds and money market funds.

36



Level 2 – Edison International and SCE's Level 2 assets and liabilities include fixed income securities primarily consisting of U.S. government and agency bonds, municipal bonds and corporate bonds, and over-the-counter derivatives. The fair value of fixed income securities is determined using a market approach by obtaining quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets and inputs that are observable, either directly or indirectly, for substantially the full term of the instrument.
The fair value of SCE's over-the-counter derivative contracts is determined using an income approach. SCE uses standard pricing models to determine the net present value of estimated future cash flows. Inputs to the pricing models include forward published or posted clearing prices from exchanges (New York Mercantile Exchange and Intercontinental Exchange) for similar instruments and discount rates. A primary price source that best represents trade activity for each market is used to develop observable forward market prices in determining the fair value of these positions. Broker quotes, prices from exchanges or comparison to executed trades are used to validate and corroborate the primary price source. These price quotations reflect mid-market prices (average of bid and ask) and are obtained from sources believed to provide the most liquid market for the commodity.
Level 3 – The fair value of SCE's Level 3 assets and liabilities is determined using the income approach through various models and techniques that require significant unobservable inputs. This level includes over-the-counter options, tolling arrangements and derivative contracts that trade infrequently such as congestion revenue rights ("CRRs") and long-term power agreements. Edison International Parent and Other does not have any Level 3 assets and liabilities.
Assumptions are made in order to value derivative contracts in which observable inputs are not available. Changes in fair value are based on changes to forward market prices, including extrapolation of short-term observable inputs into forecasted prices for illiquid forward periods. In circumstances where fair value cannot be verified with observable market transactions, it is possible that a different valuation model could produce a materially different estimate of fair value. Modeling methodologies, inputs and techniques are reviewed and assessed as markets continue to develop and more pricing information becomes available and the fair value is adjusted when it is concluded that a change in inputs or techniques would result in a new valuation that better reflects the fair value of those derivative contracts.

Valuation Techniques Used to Determine Fair Value
The process of determining fair value is the responsibility of SCE's risk management department, which reports to SCE's chief financial officer. This department obtains observable and unobservable inputs through broker quotes, exchanges and internal valuation techniques that use both standard and proprietary models to determine fair value. Each reporting period, the risk and finance departments collaborate to determine the appropriate fair value methodologies and classifications for each derivative. Inputs are validated for reasonableness by comparison against prior prices, other broker quotes and volatility fluctuation thresholds. Inputs used and valuations are reviewed period-over-period and compared with market conditions to determine reasonableness.
The following table sets forth SCE's valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs used to determine fair value for significant Level 3 assets and liabilities:

Level 3 Fair Value Sensitivity
Congestion Revenue Rights
For CRRs, where SCE is the buyer, generally increases (decreases) in forecasted load in isolation would result in increases (decreases) to the fair value. In general, an increase (decrease) in electricity and gas prices at illiquid locations tends to result in increases (decreases) to fair value; however, changes in electricity and gas prices in opposite directions may have varying results on fair value.
Tolling Arrangements
The fair values of SCE's tolling arrangements contain intrinsic value and time value. Intrinsic value is the difference between the market price and strike price of the underlying commodity. Time value is made up of several components, including volatility, time to expiration, and interest rates. The option model for tolling arrangements reflects plant specific information such as operating and start-up costs.
For tolling arrangements where SCE is the buyer, increases in volatility of the underlying commodity prices would result in increases to fair value as it represents greater price movement risk. As power and gas prices increase, the fair value of tolling arrangements tends to increase. The valuation of tolling arrangements is also impacted by the correlation between gas and power prices. As the correlation increases, the fair value of tolling arrangements tends to decline.

39



Nuclear Decommissioning Trusts
SCE's nuclear decommissioning trust investments include equity securities, U.S. treasury securities and other fixed income securities. Equity and treasury securities are classified as Level 1 as fair value is determined by observable market prices in active or highly liquid and transparent markets. The remaining fixed income securities are classified as Level 2. The fair value of these financial instruments is based on evaluated prices that reflect significant observable market information such as reported trades, actual trade information of similar securities, benchmark yields, broker/dealer quotes, issuer spreads, bids, offers and relevant credit information.
Fair Value of Debt Recorded at Carrying Value

Note 5.    Debt and Credit Agreements
Credit Agreements and Short-Term Debt
SCE and Edison International Parent have multi-year revolving credit facilities of $2.75 billion and $1.25 billion, respectively. In July 2015, SCE and Edison International Parent amended the credit facilities to extend the maturity dates to July 2020 for $2.6 billion and $1.18 billion, respectively. The remaining $150 million and $68 million for the SCE and Edison International Parent credit facilities, respectively, will mature in July 2019. SCE's credit facility is generally used to support commercial paper borrowings and letters of credit issued for procurement-related collateral requirements, balancing account undercollections and for general corporate purposes, including working capital requirements to support operations and capital expenditures. Edison International Parent's credit facility is used to support commercial paper borrowings and for general corporate purposes.
At September 30, 2015, SCE's outstanding commercial paper was $417 million at a weighted-average interest rate of 0.34%. At September 30, 2015, letters of credit issued under SCE's credit facility aggregated $135 million and are scheduled to expire in twelve months or less. At December 31, 2014, the outstanding commercial paper was $367 million at a weighted-average interest rate of 0.40%.
At September 30, 2015, Edison International Parent's outstanding commercial paper was $738 million at a weighted-average interest rate of 0.45%. At December 31, 2014, the outstanding commercial paper was $619 million at a weighted-average interest rate of 0.45%.
Project Financing
Indirect subsidiaries of Edison International entered into a non-recourse debt financing to support investment in approximately 29 megawatts of solar rooftop projects. Borrowings under this financing agreement, were converted to a 7-year term loan during September 2015. As of September 30, 2015, there was approximately $25 million outstanding under this financing at a weighted average interest rate of 2.83%.

40



Long-Term Debt
During the first quarter of 2015, SCE issued $550 million of 1.845% amortizing first and refunding mortgage bonds due in 2022, $325 million of 2.4% first and refunding mortgage bonds due in 2022, and $425 million of 3.6% first and refunding mortgage bonds due in 2045. The proceeds from these bonds were used to repay outstanding debt and for general corporate purposes. The $550 million amortizing first and refunding mortgage bonds and the $325 million of first and refunding mortgage bonds have been designated as a financing of the San Onofre regulatory asset.
During the second quarter of 2015, SCE reissued $56 million of 1.875% pollution-control bonds due in 2029 and $75 million of 1.875% pollution-control bonds due in 2031. The proceeds were used to repay commercial paper borrowings and for general corporate purposes.
Note 6.    Derivative Instruments
Derivative financial instruments are used to manage exposure to commodity price risk. These risks are managed in part by entering into forward commodity transactions, including options, swaps and futures. To mitigate credit risk from counterparties in the event of nonperformance, master netting agreements are used whenever possible and counterparties may be required to pledge collateral depending on the creditworthiness of each counterparty and the risk associated with the transaction.
Commodity Price Risk
Commodity price risk represents the potential impact that can be caused by a change in the market value of a particular commodity. SCE's electricity price exposure arises from energy purchased from and sold to wholesale markets as a result of differences between SCE's load requirements and the amount of energy delivered from its generating facilities and power purchase agreements. SCE's natural gas price exposure arises from natural gas purchased for the Mountainview power plant and peaker plants, QF contracts where pricing is based on a monthly natural gas index and power purchase agreements in which SCE has agreed to provide the natural gas needed for generation, referred to as tolling arrangements.
Credit and Default Risk
Credit and default risk represent the potential impact that can be caused if a counterparty were to default on its contractual obligations and SCE would be exposed to spot markets for buying replacement power or selling excess power. In addition, SCE would be exposed to the risk of non-payment of accounts receivable, primarily related to the sales of excess power and realized gains on derivative instruments.
Certain power contracts contain master netting agreements or similar agreements, which generally allow counterparties subject to the agreement to setoff amounts when certain criteria are met, such as in the event of default. The objective of netting is to reduce credit exposure. Additionally, to reduce SCE's risk exposures counterparties may be required to pledge collateral depending on the creditworthiness of each counterparty and the risk associated with the transaction.
Certain power contracts contain a provision that requires SCE to maintain an investment grade rating from each of the major credit rating agencies, referred to as a credit-risk-related contingent feature. If SCE's credit rating were to fall below investment grade, SCE may be required to post additional collateral to cover derivative liabilities and the related outstanding payables. The net fair value of all derivative liabilities with these credit-risk-related contingent features was $29 million and $53 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. SCE has posted no collateral at September 30, 2015 and $13 million at December 31, 2014 to its counterparties at the respective dates for its derivative liabilities and related outstanding payables. If the credit-risk-related contingent features underlying these agreements were triggered on September 30, 2015, SCE would be required to post $42 million of additional collateral of which $39 million is related to outstanding payables that are net of collateral already posted.

41



Fair Value of Derivative Instruments
SCE presents its derivative assets and liabilities on a net basis on its consolidated balance sheets when subject to master netting agreements or similar agreements. Derivative positions are offset against margin and cash collateral deposits. In addition, SCE has provided collateral in the form of letters of credit. Collateral requirements can vary depending upon the level of unsecured credit extended by counterparties, changes in market prices relative to contractual commitments and other factors. See Note 4 for a discussion of fair value of derivative instruments. The following table summarizes the gross and net fair values of SCE's commodity derivative instruments:

In addition, at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, SCE had posted $32 million and $36 million, respectively, of collateral that is not offset against derivative liabilities and is reflected in "Other current assets" on the consolidated balance sheets.
Income Statement Impact of Derivative Instruments
SCE recognizes realized gains and losses on derivative instruments as purchased power expense and expects that such gains or losses will be part of the purchase power costs recovered from customers. As a result, realized gains and losses do not affect earnings, but may temporarily affect cash flows. Due to expected future recovery from customers, unrealized gains and losses are recorded as regulatory assets and liabilities and therefore also do not affect earnings. The results of derivative activities and related regulatory offsets are recorded in cash flows from operating activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows.

The CPUC requires flow-through ratemaking treatment for the current tax benefit arising from certain property-related and other temporary differences which reverse over time. The accounting treatment for these temporary differences results in recording regulatory assets and liabilities for amounts that would otherwise be recorded to deferred income tax expense.
Property-related items include recognition of income tax benefits from repair deductions. The CPUC classifies repair deductions as a flow-through item which affects earnings to the extent actual income tax benefits from repair deductions differ from the estimated amounts included in authorized revenue.

43



During the first nine months of 2015, SCE recorded $18 million of additional income taxes for revisions to estimated net operating loss carrybacks, interest and state income taxes.
Tax Disputes
Tax Years 2007 – 2009
Edison International received a Revenue Agent Report from the IRS in February 2013 which included a proposed adjustment to disallow a component of SCE's percentage repair allowance deduction. The proposed adjustment, if sustained, would result in a federal tax liability of approximately $80 million, including interest through September 30, 2015. Edison International has tentatively reached an agreement with the IRS regarding SCE's percentage repair allowance deduction, which if finalized, would result in a federal tax liability of approximately $17 million, including interest through September 30, 2015. The IRS also proposed an adjustment for 2008 and 2009 to disallow deductions related to certain capitalized overhead expenses. If this adjustment were sustained, it would result in a federal tax liability of approximately $124 million, including interest through September 30, 2015. Edison International disagrees with the proposed adjustment and has appealed.
Tax Years 2010 – 2012
The IRS Revenue Agent Report was received in June 2015. As a result, Edison International and SCE have re-measured its Federal and State uncertain tax positions and recorded $94 million and $100 million, respectively, of income tax benefits including interest and penalty during the second quarter of 2015. The Revenue Agent Report included a proposed adjustment to disallow deductions related to certain capitalized overhead expenses. If this adjustment is sustained, it would result in a federal tax liability of approximately $99 million, including interest through September 30, 2015. Edison International disagrees with the proposed adjustment and has appealed. SCE has agreed to the remaining proposed adjustments in the Revenue Agent Report.
Note 8.    Compensation and Benefit Plans
Pension Plans
Edison International made contributions of $113 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, which includes contributions of $96 million by SCE. Edison International expects to make contributions of $14 million during the remainder of 2015, which includes $2 million from SCE. Annual contributions made by SCE to most of SCE's pension plans are anticipated to be recovered through CPUC-approved regulatory mechanisms, pending the outcome of the 2015 GRC decision. Annual contributions to these plans are expected to be, at a minimum, equal to the related annual expense.

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, this relates to lump-sum amounts made to employees who retired from the SCE Retirement Plan (primarily due to workforce reductions). Includes the amount of net loss reclassified from other comprehensive loss. The amount reclassified for Edison International was $2 million for both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014.

Includes the amount of net loss reclassified from other comprehensive loss. The amount reclassified for Edison International and SCE was $4 million and $2 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2015, and $11 million and $6 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. The amount reclassified for Edison International and SCE was $2 million and $1 million, respectively, for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and $5 million and $3 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions
Edison International made contributions of $45 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and expects to make contributions of $14 million during the remainder of 2015, substantially all of which are expected to be made by SCE. Annual contributions made to SCE plans are anticipated to be recovered through CPUC-approved regulatory mechanisms and are expected to be, at a minimum, equal to the total annual expense for these plans, pending the outcome of the 2015 GRC decision. Benefits under these plans, with some exceptions, are generally unvested and subject to change. Under the terms of the Edison International Health and Welfare Plan ("PBOP Plan") each participating employer (Edison International or its participating subsidiaries) is responsible for the costs and expenses of all PBOP benefits with respect to its employees and former employees. A participating employer may terminate the PBOP benefits with respect to its employees and former employees, as may SCE (as Plan sponsor), and, accordingly, the participants' PBOP benefits are not vested benefits.

Workforce Reductions
SCE continues to focus on productivity improvements to mitigate rate pressure from its capital program, optimize its cost structure and improve operational efficiency, which is expected to result in further workforce reductions through 2016. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, SCE increased the estimated impact for approved workforce reductions.

Short-term investments include $112 million of repurchase agreements payable by financial institutions which earn interest, are fully secured by U.S. Treasury securities and mature by October 7, 2015.
Trust fund earnings (based on specific identification) increase the trust fund balance and the ARO regulatory liability. Proceeds from sales of securities (which are reinvested) were $5.7 billion and $2.1 billion for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and $12.9 billion and $5.8 billion for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Unrealized holding gains, net of losses, were $1.4 billion and $1.8 billion at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Trust assets are used to pay income taxes as the Trust files separate income taxes returns from SCE. Deferred income taxes related to unrealized gains at September 30, 2015 were $344 million. Accordingly, the fair value of Trust assets available to pay future decommissioning costs, net of deferred income taxes, totaled $4.0 billion at September 30, 2015. Due to regulatory mechanisms, changes in assets of the trusts from income or loss items have no impact on operating revenue or earnings.
In August 2015, the trust reimbursed SCE for $319 million of 2013 and 2014 Unit 2 and 3 decommissioning costs. Under the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement recoveries from the nuclear decommissioning trusts of 2013 and 2014 decommissioning costs are refunded to customers primarily through ERRA.

Represents the cumulative differences between ARO expenses and amounts collected in rates primarily for the decommissioning of the SCE's nuclear generation facilities. Decommissioning costs recovered through rates are primarily placed in nuclear decommissioning trusts. This regulatory liability also represents the deferral of realized and unrealized gains and losses on the nuclear decommissioning trust investments. See Note 9.
As discussed in Note 1, SCE has recognized CPUC-related revenue largely based on the revenue requirement set forth in the proposed 2015 GRC decision. As a result of the proposed decision, SCE recorded a current regulatory liability to refund customers $318 million of the 2014 authorized base revenue requirements included in customer rates for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

48



The 2015 GRC proposed decision includes a reduction in 2015 base rate revenue requirement of approximately $40 million through a rate base adjustment of $344 million as determined by the CPUC to achieve a benefit to customers equal to the increased future customer costs attributable to SCE's election related to 2012 2014 tax repairs. In SCE's filed comments, it requested a modification to eliminate the rate base adjustment on the basis of a number of legal errors including, among other items, that the rate base adjustment affecting the revenue requirements is prohibited as retroactive rate making. As of September 30, 2015, SCE had recorded a regulatory asset, included in the table above, of approximately $380 million related to future cash taxes associated with incremental 2012 2014 repair deductions. SCE has not recorded the potential impact from the rate base adjustment or 2015 incremental repair deductions pending a final decision that would provide clarity on the tax accounting treatment. SCE cannot predict the outcome of this matter. If the final decision mandates future reductions in revenue requirements, SCE would reduce 2015 revenue by the amount determined in the final decision and may record a charge against income to write down some or all of the above regulatory asset.

Note 11.    Commitments and Contingencies
Third-Party Power Purchase Agreements
During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, SCE had new power procurement contracts with additional commitments estimated to be: $21 million for the remainder of 2015, $142 million for 2016, $303 million for 2017, $352 million for 2018, $391 million for 2019 and $5.2 billion for the period remaining thereafter.
Indemnities
Edison International and SCE have various financial and performance guarantees and indemnity agreements which are issued in the normal course of business.
Edison International and SCE have provided indemnifications through contracts entered into in the normal course of business. These are primarily indemnifications against adverse litigation outcomes in connection with underwriting agreements, and indemnities for specified environmental liabilities and income taxes with respect to assets sold. Edison International's and SCE's obligations under these agreements may or may not be limited in terms of time and/or amount, and in some instances Edison International and SCE may have recourse against third parties. Edison International and SCE have not recorded a liability related to these indemnities. The overall maximum amount of the obligations under these indemnifications cannot be reasonably estimated.
SCE has indemnified the City of Redlands, California in connection with Mountainview's California Energy Commission permit for cleanup or associated actions related to groundwater contaminated by perchlorate due to the disposal of filter cake at the City's solid waste landfill. The obligations under this agreement are not limited to a specific time period or subject to a maximum liability. SCE has not recorded a liability related to this indemnity.

49



Contingencies
In addition to the matters disclosed in these Notes, Edison International and SCE are involved in other legal, tax and regulatory proceedings before various courts and governmental agencies regarding matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Edison International and SCE believe the outcome of these other proceedings will not, individually or in the aggregate, materially affect its results of operations or liquidity.
San Onofre Related Matters
Replacement steam generators were installed at San Onofre in 2010 and 2011. On January 31, 2012, a leak suddenly occurred in one of the heat transfer tubes in San Onofre's Unit 3 steam generators. The Unit was safely taken off-line and subsequent inspections revealed excessive tube wear. Unit 2 was off-line for a planned outage when areas of unexpected tube wear were also discovered. On June 6, 2013, SCE decided to permanently retire Units 2 and 3.
Settlement of San Onofre CPUC Proceedings
In November 2014, the CPUC approved the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement that SCE had entered into with TURN, ORA, SDG&E, the Coalition of California Utility Employees, and Friends of the Earth. The San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement resolved the CPUC's investigation regarding the Steam Generator Replacement Project at San Onofre and the related outages and subsequent shutdown of San Onofre. The San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement does not affect proceedings related to recoveries from third parties described below, but does describe how shareholders and customers will share any potential recoveries.
Challenges related to San Onofre CPUC Proceedings
A federal lawsuit challenging the CPUC's authority to permit rate recovery of San Onofre costs and an application to the CPUC for rehearing of its decision approving the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement were filed in November and December 2014, respectively. In April 2015, the federal lawsuit was dismissed with prejudice and the plaintiffs in that case appealed the dismissal to the Ninth Circuit in May 2015. Both the appeal and the application for rehearing remain pending.
In February 2015, SCE filed in the OII proceeding a Late-Filed Notice of Ex Parte Communication regarding a meeting in March 2013 between an SCE senior executive and the president of the CPUC, both of whom have since retired from their respective positions. Following this filing, the Alliance for Nuclear Responsibility ("A4NR"), one of the intervenors in the OII, filed a motion requesting that the CPUC institute an investigation into whether sanctions should be imposed on SCE for the late notice of the March 2013 meeting. The motion requests that the CPUC order SCE to produce all ex parte communications between SCE and the CPUC or its staff since January 31, 2012 and all internal SCE unprivileged communications that discuss such ex parte communications. On May 6, 2015, A4NR amended its motion to recommend that the CPUC impose a $38.2 million penalty on SCE and additional restrictions on ex parte communications.
On April 14, 2015, the OII ALJs ordered SCE, among other things, to produce unprivileged documents pertaining to oral and written communications regarding the possible settlement of the OII proceeding between any SCE employee and CPUC decision makers from March 2013 to November 2014. SCE produced responsive documents and information on April 29, 2015. On June 26, 2015, the ALJs requested additional information, which SCE provided on July 3, 2015. Subsequently, another intervenor, the Coalition to Decommission San Onofre, filed a motion to move the start date for the production of documents under the CPUC's order to January 31, 2012 and to authorize the intervenors to conduct discovery of SCE. On August 5, 2015, the OII ALJ issued a ruling that nine additional communications should have been reported in addition to the March 2013 communication that SCE had reported in February 2015. The ruling dismissed all other pending requests for disclosures by SCE, discovery, or sanctions. In addition, the August 2015 ruling ordered SCE to show cause why it should not be sanctioned for violations of the ex parte rules and two related violations of Rule 1.1. The amount of potential monetary sanctions may vary from $500 to $50,000 per offense and will also depend on whether each offense is considered to be a single or a continuing violation, rendering it subject to a separate fine for each day. SCE responded to the order on August 20, 2015, arguing that the additional communications were not reportable and that sanctions were not justified. On October 20, 2015, SCE submitted to the CPUC additional documents that were responsive to the ALJs' order discussed above. On October 26, 2015, the OII ALJ issued a proposed decision that would impose a penalty of $16.74 million in connection with eight communications that the proposed decision finds should have been reported. The proposed decision does not address the petitions for modification of the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement discussed below.

50



On April 17, 2015, ORA and TURN issued press releases asking the CPUC to impose penalties on SCE as a sanction for allegedly improper ex parte communications pertaining to San Onofre or failures to report such communications. ORA recommended penalties in the amount of $648 million, representing ORA's calculation of the difference in ratepayer value between ORA's initial settlement negotiating position in the San Onofre OII and the approved settlement. TURN did not recommend a penalty amount. 
On April 27, 2015, A4NR filed a petition to modify the CPUC's decision approving the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement based on SCE's alleged failures to disclose communications between SCE and CPUC decision-makers pertaining to the issues in the San Onofre OII. The petition seeks the reversal of the decision approving the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement and reopening of the OII proceeding. Subsequently, TURN and ORA filed responses supporting A4NR's petition to reopen the San Onofre OII proceeding. In August 2015, ORA filed its own petition to modify the CPUC's decision approving the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement seeking to set aside the settlement and reopen the San Onofre OII proceeding. SCE and SDG&E responded to this petition in September 2015. Both petitions remain pending before the CPUC. On July 6, 2015, a purported securities class action lawsuit was filed in federal court against Edison International, its CEO and CFO. The lawsuit alleges that the defendants violated the securities laws by failing to disclose that Edison International's ex parte contacts with CPUC decision-makers were more extensive than initially reported. The complaint purports to be filed on behalf of a class of persons who acquired Edison International common stock between July 31, 2014 and June 24, 2015.
Subsequently, in July 2015, a federal shareholder derivative lawsuit was filed against members of the Edison International Board of Directors for breach of fiduciary duty and other claims based on similar allegations to the federal securities lawsuit. The derivative lawsuit seeks monetary damages, including punitive damages, and various corporate governance reforms. Two additional federal shareholder derivative lawsuits making essentially the same allegations were filed in August and October 2015.
Edison International and SCE cannot predict the outcome of these proceedings.
NEIL Insurance Settlement
San Onofre carries accidental property damage and carried accidental outage insurance issued by Nuclear Electric Insurance Limited ("NEIL"). Through August 30, 2014, the San Onofre owners had submitted approximately $433 million in claims (SCE's share of which is approximately $339 million) under the accidental outage insurance. The accidental outage insurance at San Onofre has been canceled prospectively as a result of the permanent retirement.
In October 2015, San Onofre owners reached an agreement with NEIL to resolve all insurance claims arising out of the failures of the San Onofre replacement steam generators for a total payment by NEIL of $400 million (SCE's share of which is approximately $313 million). According to the terms of the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement, the settlement proceeds will be applied to reimburse the costs of pursuing the recovery and then allocated 95% to customers and 5% to SCE. SCE will record the recoveries from NEIL during the fourth quarter of 2015. SCE customers' portion of amounts recovered from NEIL would be distributed to SCE customers via a credit to SCE's ERRA account.
MHI Claims
SCE is also pursuing claims against Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Ltd. and a related company ("MHI"), which designed and supplied the RSGs. MHI warranted the RSGs for an initial period of 20 years from acceptance and is contractually obligated to repair or replace defective items with dispatch and to pay specified damages for certain repairs. MHI's stated liability under the purchase agreement is limited to $138 million and excludes consequential damages, defined to include "the cost of replacement power;" however, limitations in the contract are subject to applicable exceptions both in the contract and under law. SCE has advised MHI that it believes one or more of such exceptions apply and that MHI's liability is not limited to $138 million. MHI has advised SCE that it disagrees. In October 2013, SCE sent MHI a formal request for binding arbitration under the auspices of the International Chamber of Commerce in accordance with the purchase contract seeking damages for all losses. In the request for arbitration, SCE alleges contract and tort claims and seeks at least $4 billion in damages on behalf of itself and its customers and in its capacity as Operating Agent for San Onofre. MHI has denied any liability and has asserted counterclaims for $41 million, for which SCE has denied any liability. Each of the other San Onofre owners sued MHI, alleging claims arising from MHI's supplying the faulty steam generators. These litigation claims have been stayed pending the arbitration. The other owners (SDG&E and Riverside) have been added as additional claimants in the arbitration. The arbitration is being conducted pursuant to a confidentiality order issued by the arbitration panel.

51



SCE, on behalf of itself and the other San Onofre owners, has submitted seven invoices to MHI totaling $149 million for steam generator repair costs incurred through April 30, 2013. MHI paid the first invoice of $45 million, while reserving its right to challenge it and subsequently rejected a portion of the first invoice and has not paid further invoices, claiming further documentation is required, which SCE disputes. SCE recorded its share of the invoice paid (approximately $35 million) as a reduction of repair and inspection costs in 2012.
Under the San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement, recoveries from MHI (including amounts paid by MHI under the first invoice), if any, will first be applied to reimburse costs incurred in pursuing such recoveries, including litigation costs. To the extent SCE's share of recoveries from MHI exceed such costs, they will be allocated 50% to customers and 50% to SCE.
The first $282 million of SCE's customers' portion of such recoveries from MHI will be distributed to customers via a credit to a sub-account of SCE's Base Revenue Requirement Balancing Account ("BRRBA"), reducing revenue requirements from customers. Amounts in excess of the first $282 million distributable to SCE customers will reduce SCE's regulatory asset represented by the unamortized balance of investment in San Onofre base plant, reducing the revenue requirement needed to amortize such investment. The amortization period, however, will be unaffected. Any additional amounts received after the regulatory asset is recovered will be applied to the BRRBA.
The San Onofre OII Settlement Agreement provides the utilities with the discretion to resolve the NEIL and MHI disputes without CPUC approval or review, but the utilities are obligated to use their best efforts to inform the CPUC of any settlement or other resolution of these disputes to the extent this is possible without compromising any aspect of the resolution. SCE and SDG&E have also agreed to allow the CPUC to review the documentation of any final resolution of the NEIL and MHI disputes and the litigation costs incurred in pursuing claims against NEIL and MHI to ensure they are not exorbitant in relation to the recovery obtained. There is no assurance that there will be any recoveries from NEIL or MHI or, that if there are recoveries, that they will equal or exceed the costs incurred to pursue them.
NRC Proceedings
In July 2015, the NRC issued a final decision regarding SCE's compliance with the license amendment regulatory process related to the RSGs, finding the issue to be moot, given the permanent cessation of operation of San Onofre. In March 2015, the NRC issued a lessons learned report in which it restated earlier NRC inspection findings that SCE properly concluded that the replacement steam generators at San Onofre did not require a formal license amendment prior to installation using a common NRC process for replacement components.
Certain anti-nuclear groups and individual members of Congress have alleged that SCE knew of deficiencies in the steam generators when they were installed or otherwise did not correctly follow NRC requirements for the design and installation of the replacement steam generators, all of which SCE has vigorously denied, and have called for investigations, including by the Department of Justice. SCE cannot predict when or whether ongoing proceedings by the NRC will be completed or whether inquiries by other government agencies concerning how the RSG project was conducted will be initiated or reopened.
Long Beach Service Interruptions
In July 2015, SCE's customers who are served via the network portion of SCE's electric system in Long Beach, California experienced service interruptions due to multiple underground vault fires and underground cable failures. No personal injuries have been reported in connection with these events. SCE instituted an internal investigation and commissioned an external investigation of these events and their causes. These events and their causes are also being investigated by the CPUC's SED. SCE is unable to estimate a possible loss or range of loss associated with any penalties that may be imposed by the CPUC related to this matter. Subject to applicable deductibles, SCE is generally insured against customer claims arising from these service interruptions.
Environmental Remediation
SCE records its environmental remediation liabilities when site assessments and/or remedial actions are probable and a range of reasonably likely cleanup costs can be estimated. SCE reviews its sites and measures the liability quarterly, by assessing a range of reasonably likely costs for each identified site using currently available information, including existing technology, presently enacted laws and regulations, experience gained at similar sites, and the probable level of involvement and financial condition of other potentially responsible parties. These estimates include costs for site investigations, remediation, operation and maintenance, monitoring and site closure. Unless there is a single probable amount, SCE records the lower end of this reasonably likely range of costs (reflected in "Other long-term liabilities") at undiscounted amounts as timing of cash flows is uncertain.

52



At September 30, 2015, SCE's recorded estimated minimum liability to remediate its 19 identified material sites (sites in which the upper end of the range of the costs is at least $1 million) was $137 million, including $82 million related to San Onofre. In addition to these sites, SCE also has 39 immaterial sites for which the total minimum recorded liability was $4 million. Of the $140 million total environmental remediation liability for SCE, $135 million has been recorded as a regulatory asset. SCE expects to recover $50 million through an incentive mechanism that allows SCE to recover 90% of its environmental remediation costs at certain sites (SCE may request to include additional sites) and $84 million through a mechanism that allows SCE to recover 100% of the costs incurred at certain sites through customer rates. SCE's identified sites include several sites for which there is a lack of currently available information, including the nature and magnitude of contamination, and the extent, if any, that SCE may be held responsible for contributing to any costs incurred for remediating these sites. Thus, no reasonable estimate of cleanup costs can be made for these sites.
The ultimate costs to clean up SCE's identified sites may vary from its recorded liability due to numerous uncertainties inherent in the estimation process, such as: the extent and nature of contamination; the scarcity of reliable data for identified sites; the varying costs of alternative cleanup methods; developments resulting from investigatory studies; the possibility of identifying additional sites; and the time periods over which site remediation is expected to occur. SCE believes that, due to these uncertainties, it is reasonably possible that cleanup costs at the identified material sites and immaterial sites could exceed its recorded liability by up to $163 million and $8 million, respectively. The upper limit of this range of costs was estimated using assumptions least favorable to SCE among a range of reasonably possible outcomes.
SCE expects to clean up and mitigate its identified sites over a period of up to 30 years. Remediation costs for each of the next five years are expected to range from $7 million to $24 million. Costs incurred for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $5 million and $3 million, respectively.
Based upon the CPUC's regulatory treatment of environmental remediation costs incurred at SCE, SCE believes that costs ultimately recorded will not materially affect its results of operations, financial position or cash flows. There can be no assurance, however, that future developments, including additional information about existing sites or the identification of new sites, will not require material revisions to estimates.
Nuclear Insurance
SCE is a member of NEIL, a mutual insurance company owned by entities with nuclear facilities. NEIL provides insurance for nuclear property damage, including damages caused by acts of terrorism up to specified limits, and for accidental outages for active facilities. The amount of nuclear property damage insurance purchased for San Onofre and Palo Verde exceeds the minimum federal requirement of $1.06 billion. If NEIL losses at any nuclear facility covered by the arrangement were to exceed the accumulated funds for these insurance programs, SCE could be assessed retrospective premium adjustments of up to approximately $52 million per year.
Federal law limits public offsite liability claims for bodily injury and property damage from a nuclear incident to the amount of available financial protection, which is currently approximately $13.4 billion. Based on its ownership interests, SCE could be required to pay a maximum of approximately $255 million per nuclear incident. However, it would have to pay no more than approximately $38 million per incident in any one year.
For more information on nuclear insurance coverage, see Note 11 in the 2014 Form 10-K.
Wildfire Insurance
Severe wildfires in California have given rise to large damage claims against California utilities for fire-related losses alleged to be the result of the failure of electric and other utility equipment. Invoking a California Court of Appeal decision, plaintiffs pursuing these claims have relied on the doctrine of inverse condemnation, which can impose strict liability (including liability for a claimant's attorneys' fees) for property damage. Prolonged drought conditions in California have also increased the risk of severe wildfire events. On June 1, 2015, Edison International renewed its liability insurance coverage, which included coverage for SCE's wildfire liabilities up to a $610 million limit (with a self-insured retention of $10 million per wildfire occurrence). Various coverage limitations within the policies that make up this insurance coverage could result in additional self-insured costs in the event of multiple wildfire occurrences during the policy period (June 1, 2015 to May 31, 2016). SCE also has additional coverage for certain wildfire liabilities of $390 million, which applies when total covered wildfire claims exceed $610 million, through June 14, 2016. SCE may experience coverage reductions and/or increased insurance costs in future years. No assurance can be given that future losses will not exceed the limits of SCE's insurance coverage.

Spent Nuclear Fuel
Under federal law, the Department of Energy ("DOE") is responsible for the selection and construction of a facility for the permanent disposal of spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste. The DOE has not met its contractual obligation to accept spent nuclear fuel. Extended delays by the DOE have led to the construction of costly alternatives and associated siting and environmental issues. Currently, both San Onofre and Palo Verde have interim storage for spent nuclear fuel on site sufficient for the current license period.
SCE, as operating agent, filed a lawsuit on behalf of the San Onofre owners against the DOE in the Court of Federal Claims seeking damages of approximately $182 million for the DOE's failure to meet its obligation to begin accepting spent nuclear fuel for the period from January 1, 2006 to December 31, 2013. Additional legal action would be necessary to recover damages incurred after December 31, 2013. All damages recovered by SCE are subject to CPUC review as to how these amounts would be distributed among customers, shareholders, or to offset fuel decommissioning or storage costs.
Note 12.    Preferred and Preference Stock of Utility
During the third quarter of 2015, SCE issued 130,004 shares of 5.375% Series J preference stock (cumulative, $2,500 liquidation value) to SCE Trust IV, a special purpose entity formed to issue trust securities as discussed in Note 3. The Series J preference stock may be redeemed at par, in whole, but not in part, at any time prior to September 15, 2025 if certain changes in tax or investment company laws occur. After September 15, 2025, SCE may redeem the Series J shares at par, in whole or in part and distributions will accrue and be payable at a floating rate. The shares are not subject to mandatory redemption. The proceeds were used to redeem $325 million of the Company's Series A preference stock and for general corporate purposes.

SCE has participated in proceedings seeking recovery of refunds from sellers of electricity and natural gas who manipulated the electric and natural gas markets during the energy crisis in California in 2000 2001. SCE is authorized to refund to customers any refunds actually realized by SCE, net of litigation costs and amounts retained by SCE as a shareholder incentive pursuant to an established sharing arrangement. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, FERC approved generator refund settlement agreements which resulted in total refunds to customers of $216 million of which $15 million is subject to the shareholder incentive.
In August 2014, the CPUC approved two settlement agreements between SCE and the SED related to 2011 events in San Bernardino and San Gabriel, California. The settlement agreements resulted in SCE paying a $15 million penalty to the State General Fund.
Edison International other income reflects Edison Capital's income related to the sale of affordable housing projects.
Note 15.    Discontinued Operations
EME Chapter 11 Bankruptcy
In December 2012, EME and certain of its wholly-owned subsidiaries filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois, Eastern Division. The Amended Plan of Reorganization, including the EME Settlement Agreement, was completed on April 1, 2014 with the sale of substantially all of EME's assets to NRG Energy, Inc. and the transactions called for in the EME Settlement Agreement, including an initial cash payment to the Reorganization Trust of $225 million in April 2014. For further discussion of the EME Settlement Agreement, see the 2014 Form 10-K, "Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements—Note 15."
In August 2014, Edison International entered into an amendment of the EME Settlement Agreement that finalized the remaining matters related to the EME Settlement including setting the amount of the two installment payments. Edison International made an installment payment of $204 million on September 30, 2015 and will make the remaining $214 million payment in September 2016.
Income from discontinued operations, net of tax, was $43 million for the three- and nine-month periods in 2015 compared to a loss of $16 million and income of $146 million for the respective periods in 2014. The 2015 income was due to $27 million of income tax benefits from revised estimates of tax benefits based on filing of the 2014 tax returns in the third quarter of

55



2015 and $16 million in insurance recoveries ($28 million pre-tax) related to the EME bankruptcy. The 2014 loss and income were due to the completion of the Amended Plan of Reorganization, including transactions recorded in the first nine months of 2014 and other impacts of the EME Settlement. The nine months of 2014 also reflects a $22 million income tax loss from revised estimates of the tax impact of a tax deconsolidation of EME as originally contemplated prior to the EME Settlement.

SCE's accrued capital expenditures at September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $403 million and $505 million, respectively. Accrued capital expenditures will be included as an investing activity in the consolidated statements of cash flow in the period paid.
During 2015, an SCE power contract classified as a capital lease was amended, which resulted in a reduction in the lease obligation and asset by $147 million.
CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
The management of Edison International and SCE, under the supervision and with the participation of Edison International's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and SCE's President and Chief Financial Officer, have evaluated the effectiveness of Edison International's and SCE's disclosure controls and procedures (as that term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended), respectively, as of the end of the third quarter of 2015. Based on that evaluation, Edison International's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and SCE's President and Chief Financial Officer have each concluded that, as of the end of the period, Edison International's and SCE's disclosure controls and procedures, respectively, were effective.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Beginning in 2015, SCE commenced transitioning a portion of its information technology services to third-party providers under managed services agreements. The transition of day-to-day responsibilities to outside service providers has resulted in certain changes to business processes and internal controls over financial reporting. SCE continues to be responsible for the design and operating effectiveness of controls over financial reporting and has taken steps to provide oversight of controls performed by its managed service provider during this period of change and will continue to evaluate the operating effectiveness of related controls during subsequent periods.

There were no other changes in Edison International's or SCE's internal control over financial reporting, respectively, during the third quarter of 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Edison International's or SCE's internal control over financial reporting.

56



Jointly Owned Utility Plant
Edison International's and SCE's respective scope of evaluation of internal control over financial reporting includes their Jointly Owned Utility Projects as discussed in Note 2. Property, Plant and Equipment in the 2014 Form 10-K.
LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
Shaver Lake Dam Project Administrative Civil Liability Complaint
In 2011, SCE installed a PVC plastic geomembrane liner on the Shaver Lake Dam to prevent water seepage. Before starting the project, SCE received the required regulatory permits and approvals. SCE and the California Department of Fish and Wildlife executed a Streambed Alteration Agreement in November 2011 that governed SCE's activities in Shaver Lake as required by state and federal law. SCE also obtained the required federal Clean Water Act Certification in November 2011 for the project's completion.
In February 2012, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife and the Central Valley Regional Water Quality control Board issued letters alleging that SCE had violated provisions of the Streambed Alteration Agreement and certain conditions of the federal Clean Water Act Certification, respectively. Both letters alleged that during the draining of Shaver Lake, SCE failed to prevent the discharge of sediment into an adjoining creek, causing the deaths of fish in the lake and creek. In October 2014, SCE received a pre-issuance draft of an Administrative Civil Liability Complaint from the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board alleging violations of certain permit conditions relating to the Shaver Lake Dam Project. The Regional Water Quality Control Board is seeking $25 million in civil penalties for the violations. SCE disputes the allegations but is working with the parties to resolve the matter.
Dominguez Channel Oil Spill Complaint
In August 2015, SCE settled a criminal misdemeanor complaint filed by the L.A. City Attorney's office arising from a 2013 oil spill associated with the failure of an underground primary cable and ground rod located in close proximity to a pipeline controlled by a private pipeline management company. SCE agreed to pay approximately $25,000 for the City's investigative costs and to donate $100,000 to the National Fish and Wildlife Fund. The agreement with the City provides that the payments to be made by SCE shall not constitute a fine or penalty.

Exhibit 3.1


CERTIFICATE OF
RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OF
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY

The undersigned, ROBERT C. BOADA and BARBARA E. MATHEWS, hereby certify that they are the duly elected and acting Vice President and Treasurer, and Vice President, Associate General Counsel, Chief Governance Officer and Corporate Secretary, respectively, of SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY, a California corporation, and that the Articles of Incorporation of said corporation shall be restated as follows:

“RESTATED ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION
OF
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY

First: The name of the corporation is:

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY

Second: The purpose of the corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which a corporation may be organized under the General Corporation Law of California other than the banking business, the trust company business or the practice of a profession permitted to be incorporated by the California Corporations Code.

Third: Intentionally omitted.

Fourth: Intentionally omitted.

Fifth: SPECIAL VOTING PROVISIONS:

1.    The preferred capital stock of the corporation may be increased or diminished at a meeting of the shareholders of said corporation by a vote representing at least two-thirds of the entire subscribed or issued capital stock of the corporation.

2.    Whenever six or more quarterly dividends, whether consecutive or not, payable with respect to any one or more series of the Cumulative Preferred Stock, 4.32% Series, 4.08% Series, 4.24% Series or 4.78% Series, of the corporation (such series being hereinafter collectively referred to in this paragraph 2 as “Preferred Stock”), shall be in default, and until all such Preferred Stock dividends then in default shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment, the holders of Preferred Stock, voting separately as a single class and on the basis of the voting rights set forth in Article Sixth hereof, shall be entitled to elect two (2) directors to the Board of Directors of the corporation, and the holders of all the outstanding shares of the capital stock of the corporation, exercising the voting rights conferred by Article Sixth and by law, shall be entitled to elect the remaining exact number of authorized directors. The special voting power to elect directors conferred by this paragraph 2 upon the holders of Preferred Stock (herein called the “Preferred Stock special voting right”) shall terminate, subject to renewal from time to time upon the same terms and conditions, when all such dividends in default shall have been paid or declared and set apart for payment.







The Preferred Stock special voting right shall vest the day after the corporation defaults in the payment of a dividend on any one or more series or classes of the Preferred Stock which, together with prior continuing and concurrent defaults in the payment of dividends on any one or more series or classes of the Preferred Stock, aggregate six defaults in the quarterly dividend payments on any one or more series or classes of the Preferred Stock. Upon such vesting, the Preferred Stock special voting right may be first exercised at the next scheduled annual meeting of shareholders of the corporation unless the Preferred Stock special voting right vests on a date falling on or after December 31 of any year and on or prior to the scheduled date of the annual meeting next following such December 31, in which case the Preferred Stock special voting right may be first exercised at a special meeting of shareholders of the corporation, which may be held for such purpose upon call and notice as provided in the Bylaws of the corporation then in effect, not earlier than sixty (60) days after the date of such annual meeting. If such special meeting shall not have been called within ten (10) days after personal service or fifteen (15) days after mailing by registered mail within the United States of America, of a request for the holding of such meeting by the record holders of at least 10% of the shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding addressed to the Secretary at the principal executive office of the corporation, then a person designated by the record holders of at least 10% of the shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding may call such meeting at the place and upon the notice provided in the Bylaws, and for that purpose shall have access to the stock records of the corporation.

Except as provided in the next sentence, if the Preferred Stock special voting right shall terminate, the holders of all the outstanding shares of the capital stock of the corporation, exercising the voting rights conferred by Article Sixth and by law, shall be entitled to elect all directors comprising the authorized number of directors. If the Preferred Stock special voting right shall terminate after a date which precedes by ten (10) days the proposed date of mailing of notice of any meeting of shareholders at which said right was to be exercised and before the date of said meeting, no election of directors shall occur at said meeting and the election of directors shall occur thereafter at a special or annual meeting of shareholders which may be held for such purpose upon call (in the case of a special meeting) and notice as provided in the Bylaws of the corporation then in effect within ninety (90) days after the date of such prior special or annual meeting of shareholders; provided, however, that no special meeting of shareholders to elect directors shall be required if such terminated Preferred Stock special voting right has never been exercised.

At any special or annual meeting of shareholders of the corporation at which the Preferred Stock special voting right shall be exercisable, the holders of the Preferred Stock may exercise the right to elect two directors to the Board of Directors prior to the exercise of the right of the holders of all of the outstanding shares of the capital stock of the corporation to elect the remaining members of the Board of Directors. The terms of office of all persons who are directors of the corporation immediately prior to such meeting shall terminate upon the election of their successors. Nothing herein contained shall be construed to be a bar to the reelection of any director at any special or annual meeting of shareholders at which the Preferred Stock special voting right is exercised.

Upon termination of the Preferred Stock special voting right, the term of office of all the directors of the corporation shall terminate upon the election of their successors at a meeting of the shareholders of the corporation then entitled to vote.

Sixth:    1. AUTHORIZED CAPITAL: The corporation is authorized to issue the following designated classes of shares of stock with the following number of shares per class:

(a)    Cumulative Preferred Stock--twenty-four million (24,000,000) shares with a par value of $25 per share;


2





(b)    $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock--twelve million (12,000,000) shares with a par value of $100 per share;
(c)    Preference Stock--fifty million (50,000,000) shares with no par value; and
(d)    Common Stock--five hundred sixty million (560,000,000) shares with no par value.
2.    CUMULATIVE PREFERRED STOCK AND $100 CUMULATIVE PREFERRED STOCK: Shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series, and shares of the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. Each series of Cumulative Preferred Stock and each series of $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be so designated as to distinguish it from other series of such stock. Such designation may include an appropriate reference to its dividend rate and any other characteristics. The Board of Directors is hereby authorized, within the limitations and restrictions stated in this Article, to fix or alter, from time to time, the dividend rights, dividend rate, conversion rights, voting rights (in addition to the voting rights hereinafter provided), rights and terms of redemption (including sinking fund provisions), the redemption price or prices and/or the liquidation preferences of any wholly unissued series of Cumulative Preferred Stock and of any wholly unissued series of $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock, and to fix the number of shares constituting any unissued series. The term “fixed for such series” and correlative terms shall be deemed to mean as stated in a resolution or resolutions adopted by the Board of Directors in exercise of the authority granted by this paragraph. The term “Board of Directors,” as used in this Article Sixth, shall be deemed to include any duly authorized and functioning committee of the Board of Directors of the corporation, to the extent such committee is permitted to exercise the powers of the Board of Directors under the California General Corporation Law. The number of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock, 4.78% Series, heretofore fixed by the resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in the Certificate of Determination of Preferences of said 4.78% Series filed in the office of the Secretary of State of the State of California on February 10, 1958, is determined to be 1,296,769. The dividend rate, redemption price, and voluntary liquidation preferences of shares of said 4.78% Series shall be as heretofore fixed by the resolution of the Board of Directors set forth in said Certificate of Determination of Preferences. In addition to any other rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions that the Board of Directors may grant to or impose upon any wholly unissued series of Cumulative Preferred Stock or any wholly unissued series of $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock, all of the holders of shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock and $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be subject to the following rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions:

(a)    Dividend Rights: The holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock of each series and the holders of the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock of each series, in preference to the holders of the Preference Stock and the Common Stock, shall be entitled to receive, when and as declared by the Board of Directors out of any funds legally available therefor, cash dividends at the rate fixed for such series, and no more, payable quarterly on such dates as may be determined by the Board of Directors with respect to the quarterly period (or, in the case of initial issuance of any shares of any series, with respect to the portion of such period) ending on each such respective payment date. Such dividends with respect to any particular shares of such stock shall be cumulative from the first day of the quarterly period in which such shares were issued or, in the case of initial issuance of any shares of any series, from the date of issuance thereof. No dividend shall be paid upon, or declared or set apart for, any share of Cumulative Preferred Stock or any share of $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock for any current dividend period if dividends on any series of Cumulative Preferred Stock or any series of $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock are accumulated and unpaid for any prior quarterly dividend period, or, in the case of payment of dividend arrearages on Cumulative Preferred Stock or on $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock, unless at the same time a like proportionate dividend for the

3





same or corresponding dividend period, ratably in proportion to the respective annual dividend rates fixed therefor, shall be paid upon, or declared and set apart for, all shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock and $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock of all series then issued and outstanding and entitled to receive such dividend.

In no event, so long as any shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, shall any dividend, whether in cash or property, be paid or declared, nor shall any distribution be made, on the Preference Stock or the Common Stock, nor shall any shares of Preference Stock or Common Stock be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for value by the corporation, unless all dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock and the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock of all series for all past quarterly dividend periods shall have been paid or declared and set apart. The foregoing provisions of this subparagraph shall not, however, apply to a dividend payable in Preference Stock or Common Stock or to the acquisition of any shares of Preference Stock or Common Stock in exchange for, or through application of the proceeds of the sale of, any shares of Preference Stock or Common Stock.

(b)    Liquidation Rights: In the event of any voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the corporation, then, before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of the Preference Stock or the Common Stock, the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock and the holders of the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid in full the liquidation preferences fixed by the Board of Directors for the respective series thereof, together with an amount equal to all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to and including the date fixed for such distribution or payment. In the event of any involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the corporation, then, before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of the Preference Stock or the Common Stock, the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid the sum of twenty-five dollars ($25) per share, and the holders of the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be entitled to be paid the sum of one hundred dollars ($100) per share, together, in the case of each class, with an amount equal to all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to and including the date fixed for such distribution or payment. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the corporation, the amounts so payable are not paid in full to the holders of all outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock and $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock the holders of all series of Cumulative Preferred Stock and all series of $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock shall share ratably in any distribution of assets to shares of such classes in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.

(c)    Voting Rights: The Cumulative Preferred Stock, 4.32% Series, 4.08% Series, 4.24% Series and 4.78% Series, shall be entitled to voting rights on the basis of six votes per share. The Cumulative Preferred Stock and the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock shall also, in addition to such voting rights as may be fixed for any series thereof, be entitled to the following voting rights:

(1)    So long as any shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock are outstanding, the consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the Cumulative Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating any one or more of the following:

4






(i)        any amendment of the Articles of Incorporation which would change any outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock in any one or more of the following respects: (1) to authorize the corporation to levy assessments thereon; (2) to reduce the dividend rate thereof; (3) to make noncumulative, in whole or in part, the dividends payable with respect thereto; (4) to reduce the redemption price thereof; (5) to reduce any amount payable thereon upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation; (6) to eliminate, diminish or alter adversely conversion rights pertaining thereto; (7) to diminish or eliminate voting rights pertaining thereto; (8) to rearrange the priority of outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock so as to make them subject to the preferences of other then outstanding shares as to distributions by way of dividends or otherwise; provided, however, that if such amendment changes in any of the foregoing respects one or more but not all series of Cumulative Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, only the consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of each series so affected shall be required;

(ii)        the authorization or creation, or the increase in the authorized amount, of any stock of any class or any security convertible into stock of any class, ranking senior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock; or

(iii)    the consolidation or merger of the corporation; provided, however, that this restriction shall not apply to, nor shall it operate to prevent, a consolidation or merger of the corporation with a subsidiary of the corporation, if none of the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock will be adversely affected thereby, and if none of the property or business theretofore owned or operated by the corporation will thereby become subject to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust or other encumbrance of such subsidiary, and if the company resulting from or surviving such consolidation or merger will be authorized to carry on the business then being conducted by the corporation and will have authorized and outstanding, after such consolidation or merger, no stock of any class or other securities ranking senior to or on a parity with the Cumulative Preferred Stock, or securities convertible into any such stock or securities, except the same number of shares of stock and the same amount of other securities with the same voting powers, rights and preferences as the stock and securities of the corporation authorized and outstanding immediately preceding such consolidation or merger, and if each holder of Cumulative Preferred Stock at the time of such consolidation or merger will receive the same number of shares, with the same voting powers, rights and preferences, of the resulting or surviving company as he held of the Cumulative Preferred Stock; and provided, further, that in the event of the amendment of the applicable laws of the State of California so as to permit the consolidation or merger of the corporation upon the vote of the holders of less than two-thirds of the outstanding shares of each class of stock of the corporation, then the consent of the holders of only such lesser proportion of the Cumulative Preferred Stock at the time outstanding (but in no event of less than a majority thereof) shall be necessary for effecting or validating the consolidation or merger of the corporation;

provided, however, that no such consent of the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be required if, at or prior to the time when such amendment is to take effect or when the authorization, creation or increase in the authorized amount of any such senior stock or


5





convertible security is to be made, or when such consolidation or merger is to take effect, as the case may be, provision is to be made as provided in the third paragraph of subparagraph (d) of this paragraph 2 for the redemption of all shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock at the time outstanding or, in the case of any such amendment as to which the consent of less than all series of the Cumulative Preferred Stock would otherwise be required, for the redemption of all shares of the series of Cumulative Preferred Stock the consent of which would otherwise be required.

(2)    So long as any shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock are outstanding, the consent of the holders of at least majority of the Cumulative Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating any one or more of the following:

(i)        the increase in the authorized amount of the Cumulative Preferred Stock or the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock or the authorization or creation, or the increase in the authorized amount, of any new class of stock ranking on a parity with the Cumulative Preferred Stock and the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock or of any security convertible into Cumulative Preferred Stock or $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock or into stock of any class ranking on a parity with the Cumulative Preferred Stock and the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock;

(ii)        the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the property or business of the corporation, or the parting with control thereof; or

(iii)    the issue of any additional shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock (or the reissue of any shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock) or any shares of stock of any class ranking senior to or on a parity with the Cumulative Preferred Stock and the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock, unless the consolidated income of the corporation and its subsidiaries (determined as hereinafter provided) for any thirty-six consecutive calendar months within the thirty-nine calendar months immediately preceding the month within which the issuance of such additional shares is authorized by the Board of Directors of the corporation shall have been in the aggregate not less than one and one-half times the sum of the interest requirements for three years on all of the funded indebtedness and other borrowings of the corporation and its subsidiaries to be outstanding at the date of such proposed issue and the full dividend requirements for three years on all shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock and $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock and all other stock, if any, ranking senior to or on a parity with the Cumulative Preferred Stock and the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock to be outstanding at the date of such proposed issue, including the shares then proposed to be issued but excluding any such indebtedness and borrowings and any such shares proposed to be retired in connection with such issue. “Consolidated income” for any period for all purposes of this paragraph 2 shall be computed by adding to the consolidated net income of the corporation and its subsidiaries for said period (determined as hereinafter provided) the amount deducted for interest on funded indebtedness and other borrowings of the corporation and its subsidiaries in determining such consolidated net income. “Consolidated net income” for any period for all purposes of this paragraph 2 shall be as determined by independent certified public accountants of

6





national reputation selected by the corporation, and in determining such consolidated net income for any period, there shall be deducted, in addition to other items of expense, the amount charged to income for said period on the books of the corporation and its subsidiaries for taxes and the provisions for depreciation as recorded on such books or the minimum amount required therefor under the provisions of any then existing general indenture of mortgage or deed of trust of the corporation, whichever is larger; and the Board of Directors of the corporation may, in the exercise of their discretion, make adjustments by way of increase or decrease in such consolidated net income to give effect to changes therein resulting from any acquisition of properties or to any redemption, acquisition, purchase, sale or exchange of securities by the corporation or its subsidiaries either prior to the issuance of any shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock or stock ranking senior to or on a parity therewith then to be issued or in connection therewith. The term “subsidiary” shall mean, for all purposes of this paragraph 2, any company of which the corporation, directly or through another subsidiary, owns or controls a majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitling the holders thereof to elect a majority of the directors of such company, either at all times or so long as there is no default in the payment of dividends upon any stock having a preference or priority over such stock;

provided, however, that no such consent of the holders of the Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be required if, at or prior to the time when the increase in the authorized amount of the Cumulative Preferred Stock or the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock or the authorization or creation or increase in the authorized amount of any such parity stock or any such convertible security, or any such sale, lease, conveyance, or parting with control, or the issue of any such additional shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock or any such senior or parity stock, as the case may be, is to be made, provision is to be made as provided in the third paragraph of subparagraph (d) of this paragraph 2 for the redemption of all shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock at the time outstanding.

(3)    So long as any shares of $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock are outstanding, the consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating any one or more of the following:

(i)    any amendment of the Articles of Incorporation which would change any outstanding shares of $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock in any one or more of the following respects: (1) to authorize the corporation to levy assessments thereon; (2) to reduce the dividend rate thereof; (3) to make noncumulative, in whole or in part, the dividends payable with respect thereto; (4) to reduce the redemption price thereof; (5) to reduce any amount payable thereon upon voluntary or involuntary liquidation; (6) to eliminate, diminish or alter adversely conversion rights pertaining thereto; (7) to diminish or eliminate voting rights pertaining thereto; (8) to rearrange the priority of outstanding shares of $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock so as to make them subject to the preferences of other then outstanding shares as to distributions by way of dividends or otherwise; provided, however, that if such amendment changes in any of the foregoing respects one or more but not all series of $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock at the time outstanding,


7





only the consent of the holders of at least two-thirds of each series so affected shall be required;

(ii)    the authorization or creation, or the increase in the authorized amount, of any stock of any class or any security convertible into stock of any class, ranking senior to the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock; or

(iii)    the consolidation or merger of the corporation; provided, however, that this restriction shall not apply to, nor shall it operate to prevent, a consolidation or merger of the corporation with a subsidiary of the corporation, if none of the voting powers, rights or preferences of the holders of the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock will be adversely affected thereby, and if none of the property or business theretofore owned or operated by the corporation will thereby become subject to the lien of any mortgage, deed of trust or other encumbrance of such subsidiary, and if the company resulting from or surviving such consolidation or merger will be authorized to carry on the business then being conducted by the corporation and will have authorized and outstanding, after such consolidation or merger, no stock of any class or other securities ranking senior to or on a parity with the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock, or securities convertible into any such stock or securities, except the same number of shares of stock and the same amount of other securities with the same voting powers, rights and preferences as the stock and securities of the corporation authorized and outstanding immediately preceding such consolidation or merger, and if each holder of $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock at the time of such consolidation or merger will receive the same number of shares, with the same voting powers, rights and preferences, of the resulting or surviving company as he held of the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock; and provided further, that in the event of the amendment of the applicable laws of the State of California so as to permit the consolidation or merger of the corporation upon the vote of the holders of less than two-thirds of the outstanding shares of each class of stock of the corporation, then the consent of the holders of only such lesser proportion of the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock at the time outstanding (but in no event of less than a majority thereof) shall be necessary for effecting or validating the consolidation or merger of the corporation;

provided, however, that no such consent of the holders of the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be required if, at or prior to the time when such amendment is to take effect or when the authorization, creation or increase in the authorized amount of any such senior stock or convertible security is to be made, or when such consolidation or merger is to take effect, as the case may be, provision is to be made as provided in the third paragraph of subparagraph (d) of this paragraph 2 for the redemption of all shares of $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock at the time outstanding or, in the case of any such amendment as to which the consent of less than all series of the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock would otherwise be required, for the redemption of all shares of the series of $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock the consent of which would otherwise be required.

(4)    So long as any shares of $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock are outstanding, the consent of the holders of at least a majority of the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating any one or more of the following:

8






(i)    the increase in the authorized amount of the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock or the Cumulative Preferred Stock or the authorization or creation, or the increase in the authorized amount, of any new class of stock ranking on a parity with the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock and the Cumulative Preferred Stock or of any security convertible into $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock or Cumulative Preferred Stock or into stock of any class ranking on a parity with the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock and the Cumulative Preferred Stock;

(ii)    the sale, lease or conveyance of all or substantially all of the property or business of the corporation, or the parting with control thereof; or

(iii)    the issue of any additional shares of $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock or Cumulative Preferred Stock (or the reissue of any shares of $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock or Cumulative Preferred Stock) or any shares of stock of any class ranking senior to or on a parity with the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock and the Cumulative Preferred Stock, unless the consolidated income of the corporation and its subsidiaries (determined as provided in this paragraph 2) for any thirty-six consecutive calendar months within the thirty-nine calendar months immediately preceding the month within which the issuance of such additional shares is authorized by the Board of Directors of the corporation shall have been in the aggregate not less than one and one-half times the sum of the interest requirements for three years on all of the funded indebtedness and other borrowings of the corporation and its subsidiaries to be outstanding at the date of such proposed issue and the full dividend requirements for three years on all shares of $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock and Cumulative Preferred Stock and all other stock, if any, ranking senior to or on a parity with the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock and the Cumulative Preferred Stock to be outstanding at the date of such proposed issue, including the shares then proposed to be issued but excluding any such indebtedness and borrowings and any such shares proposed to be retired in connection with such issue;

provided, however, that no such consent of the holders of the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be required if, at or prior to the time when the increase in the authorized amount of the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock or the Cumulative Preferred Stock or the authorization or creation or increase in the authorized amount of any such parity stock or any such convertible security, or any such sale, lease, conveyance, or parting with control, or the issue of any such additional shares of $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock or Cumulative Preferred Stock or any such senior or parity stock, as the case may be, is to be made, provision is to be made as provided in the third paragraph of subparagraph (d) of this paragraph 2 for the redemption of all shares of $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock at the time outstanding.

(d)    Redemption: Except as otherwise provided in subparagraph (e) of this paragraph 2, the Cumulative Preferred Stock or the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock of any series may be redeemed, as a whole or in part, at the option of the corporation, by vote of its Board of Directors, at any time or from time to time (subject to any special provisions affecting or limitations on such right to redeem which may be fixed with respect to any particular series of Cumulative Preferred Stock or $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock), at the applicable redemption price fixed for


9





such series which shall include an amount equal to all accumulated and unpaid dividends thereon to and including the date of redemption. If less than all the outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock of any series first issued prior to August 14, 1973, are to be redeemed, the shares to be redeemed shall be determined prior to the time of each such partial redemption by lot in such manner as the Board of Directors may prescribe. If less than all the outstanding shares of the Cumulative Preferred Stock or $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock of any series first issued on or subsequent to August 14, 1973, are to be redeemed, the shares to be redeemed shall be determined prior to the time of each such partial redemption either by lot in such manner as the Board of Directors may prescribe or, in the alternative at the discretion of the Board of Directors, pro rata to the nearest whole share.

Notice of every redemption of Cumulative Preferred Stock or $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock shall be given by the corporation by causing a notice thereof to be published in a newspaper printed in the English language and published and of general circulation in the City of Los Angeles, California, and in one such newspaper published and of general circulation in the Borough of Manhattan, the City of New York, New York, in each instance at least once a week for two (2) successive weeks and in each instance on any day of the week, commencing not earlier than sixty (60) nor later than thirty (30) days before the date fixed for redemption. It shall be the duty of the corporation to mail a copy of such notice, postage prepaid, to each holder of record of the shares to be redeemed as of the record date, addressed to such holder at his address appearing on the books of the corporation, not earlier than sixty (60) nor later than thirty (30) days before the date fixed for redemption, but the failure to mail such notice as aforesaid shall not invalidate the redemption of such shares. The publication of notice in accordance with the foregoing procedure may be dispensed with in the discretion of the Board of Directors in any case where it determines that the outstanding shares of any series of Cumulative Preferred Stock or $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock are held by no more than ten (10) holders of record, but in any such case, the copy of such notice of redemption specified above shall be delivered by messenger or mailed by registered or certified mail to the address and within the times specified above.

If the corporation shall deposit on or prior to any date fixed for redemption of Cumulative Preferred Stock or $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock, with any bank or trust company having a capital, surplus and undivided profits aggregating at least five million dollars ($5,000,000), as a trust fund, a fund sufficient to redeem the shares called for redemption, with irrevocable instructions and authority to such bank or trust company to publish the notice of redemption thereof (or to complete such publication if theretofore commenced) and to pay on and after the date fixed for redemption or such earlier date as the Board of Directors may determine, to the respective holders of such shares, the redemption price thereof upon the surrender of their share certificates, then from and after the date of such deposit (although prior to the date fixed for redemption) such shares so called shall be deemed to be redeemed and dividends thereon shall cease to accrue after said date fixed for redemption and such deposit shall be deemed to constitute full payment of said shares to the holders thereof and thereafter said shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and the holders thereof shall cease to be shareholders with respect to such shares, and shall have no rights with respect thereto except only the right to receive from said bank or trust company payment of the redemption price of such shares without interest, upon surrender of their certificates therefor, and the right to exercise, on or before the date fixed for redemption, any right to convert or exchange said shares which may then exist.

Any moneys deposited by the corporation pursuant to this subparagraph (d) which shall not be required for the redemption because of the exercise of any such right of conversion or exchange subsequent to the date of the deposit shall be repaid to the corporation forthwith. Any other moneys


10





deposited by the corporation pursuant to this subparagraph (d) and unclaimed at the end of six years from the date fixed for redemption shall be repaid to the corporation upon its request expressed in a resolution of its Board of Directors.

(e)    Miscellaneous: If at any time dividends on any of the outstanding shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock, or on any shares of stock of any class ranking on a parity with the Cumulative Preferred Stock and the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock, shall be in default, thereafter and until all arrears in payment of quarterly dividends on the Cumulative Preferred Stock and the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock have been paid, or deposited with any bank or trust company having a capital, surplus and undivided profits aggregating at least five million dollars ($5,000,000) in trust for payment on or before the next succeeding dividend payment date, the corporation shall not redeem less than all of the Cumulative Preferred Stock and the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock at the time outstanding and shall not purchase or otherwise acquire for value any Cumulative Preferred Stock or $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock except in accordance with offers made to all holders of Cumulative Preferred Stock and $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock, which offers shall bear a reasonably proportional relationship to the par values and market prices per share of the respective classes.

Except when required by law and except as otherwise provided in this Article, or as may be fixed with respect to any particular series, whenever shares of two or more series of the Cumulative Preferred Stock are outstanding, no particular series of the Cumulative Preferred Stock of all series shall be entitled to vote or consent as a separate series on any matter and all shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock of all series shall be deemed to constitute but one class for any purpose for which a vote or consent of the shareholders by classes may now or hereafter be required.

Except when required by law and except as otherwise provided in this Article, or as may be fixed with respect to any particular series, whenever shares of two or more series of the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock are outstanding, no particular series of the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock of all series shall be entitled to vote or consent as a separate series on any matter and all shares of $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock of all series shall be deemed to constitute but one class for any purpose for which a vote or consent of the shareholders by classes may now or hereafter be required.

Any shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock which are converted, redeemed or retired shall thereafter have the status of authorized but unissued shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock, as the case may be, of the corporation, and may thereafter be reissued by the Board of Directors in the same manner as any other authorized and unissued shares of Cumulative Preferred Stock or $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock.

Neither the consolidation or merger of the corporation nor the sale or transfer of all or a part of its assets nor the expropriation, condemnation or seizure of all or a part of its assets by any governmental body or authority shall be deemed a liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the affairs of the corporation within the meaning of this paragraph 2.

3.    PREFERENCE STOCK. Shares of the Preference Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. To the extent not prohibited by law, the Board of Directors is authorized (i) to fix the number of shares of any series of Preference Stock and to determine the designation of any such series, (ii) to determine or alter the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon any


11





wholly unissued series of Preference Stock, including but not limited to rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions regarding dividends (including provisions specifying dividends at a floating or variable rate or dividends to be determined by reference to an index, formula, auction, bid or other objectively ascertainable criterion), liquidation, conversion, redemption and voting (including provisions specifying no general voting rights or voting rights of more than one vote per share), and (iii) within the limits and restrictions stated in any resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors originally fixing the number of shares constituting any series, to increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any such series subsequent to the issue of shares of that series. Whenever in this paragraph 3 the Board of Directors is authorized to “fix,” “determine,” “alter,” “increase” or “decrease” the number of shares, designation, rights, preferences, privileges or restrictions of any series of the Preference Stock, the Board of Directors (including any committee thereof) shall take such action by resolution, but such resolution may specify any of the foregoing matters by reference to indexes, formulas, conversion rates or other objectively ascertainable criteria.

4.    COMMON STOCK: Subject to the preferential rights above provided in this Article, or granted pursuant to this Article, with respect to the Cumulative Preferred Stock, the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock and the Preference Stock, the Common Stock and/or the holders thereof shall have the following dividend rights, liquidation rights and voting rights:

(a)    Dividend Rights: The holders of the Common Stock shall be entitled to dividends when and as declared by the Board of Directors out of any funds legally available therefor, in such amounts and at such times as the Board of Directors may from time to time determine.

(b)    Liquidation Rights: In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether voluntary or involuntary, of the corporation, the remaining assets and funds of the corporation shall be distributed ratably to the holders of the Common Stock.

(c)    Voting Rights: The Common Stock shall be entitled to voting rights on the basis of one vote per share.

Seventh: BUSINESS COMBINATIONS:

1.    In addition to any affirmative vote required by law or these Articles of Incorporation, and except as otherwise expressly provided in paragraph 2 of this Article Seventh, none of the following transactions shall be consummated unless and until such transaction shall have been approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of at least eighty percent (80%) of the voting power of the then outstanding shares of stock of the corporation entitled to vote generally in the election of directors (the “Voting Stock”), voting together as a single class (it being understood that for purposes of this Article Seventh, each share of the Voting Stock shall have the number of votes granted to it pursuant to Article Sixth of these Articles of Incorporation):

(d)    the adoption of any plan or proposal for the spin-off, split-off or split-up of the corporation or any material Subsidiary proposed by or on behalf of an Interested Shareholder or any Affiliate of any Interested Shareholder; or

2.    The provisions of paragraph 1 of this Article Seventh shall not be applicable to any particular Business Combination, and such Business Combination shall require only such affirmative vote of shareholders, if any, as is required by law and any other provision of any Article hereof, if such Business
Combination has been approved by at least a majority of the Disinterested Directors (as hereinafter defined) at the time or if all the conditions specified in the following subparagraphs (a), (b), (c), (d), (e) and (f) are satisfied:

The price determined in accordance with paragraphs 2(a) and 2(b) shall be subject to appropriate adjustment in the event of any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares or similar event.

FIRST: The Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles”), authorize the issuance of 50,000,000 shares of Preference Stock which may be issued from time to time in one or more series, and authorize the Board of Directors of the Corporation to (i) fix the number of shares of any series of Preference Stock and to determine the designation of any such series, (ii) to determine or alter the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued series of Preference Stock, including but not limited to rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions regarding dividends (including provisions specifying dividends at a floating or variable rate or dividends to be determined by reference to an index, formula, auction, bid or other objectively ascertainable criterion), liquidation, conversion, redemption and voting (including provisions specifying no general voting rights or voting rights of more than one vote per share), and, (iii) within the limits and restrictions stated in any resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors originally fixing the number of shares constituting any series, to increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any such series subsequent to the issue of shares of that series.

SECOND: Acting pursuant to the authority delegated by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, the Pricing Committee of the Board of Directors did duly adopt on
March 7, 2011, the following resolutions authorizing and providing for the creation of a series of said shares of Preference Stock to be known as Series D Preference Stock, consisting of 1,250,000 shares, none of the shares of such series having been issued:

“NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that 1,250,000 shares of the presently authorized but unissued Preference Stock, no par value, be and hereby determined to be and shall be of a series of said Preference Stock hereby designated as the “Series D Preference Stock”; and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of shares of such series be and the same are hereby fixed, respectively, as follows:

1






1.    Dividends

(a)    The holders of record of the Series D Preference Stock (each individually a “Holder”, or collectively the “Holders”) will be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”), in its sole discretion out of funds legally available therefor, cumulative quarterly cash dividends which will accrue from and including March 10, 2011, and will be payable on March 1, June 1, September 1 and December 1 of each year (each, a “Dividend Payment Date”), commencing June 1, 2011, at the annual rate of 6.50% of the Liquidation Preference. Such dividends shall be cumulative without compounding from the date of issue whether or not earned or declared. If a Dividend Payment Date is not a Business Day (as defined below), the related dividend (if declared) will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as though paid on the Dividend Payment Date, without any increase to account for the period from such Dividend Payment Date through the date of actual payment. Dividends payable on the Series D Preference Stock for the initial dividend period and any period less than a full dividend period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and the actual number of days elapsed in such period. “Liquidation Preference” means $100 per share of Series D Preference Stock.

(b)    So long as any shares of Series D Preference Stock shall be outstanding, no dividend (other than dividends or distributions paid in shares of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, the common stock of the Corporation (the “Common Stock”) or any other stock of the Corporation ranking, as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, junior to the Series D Preference Stock), whether in cash or property, may be paid or declared or set apart, nor may any distribution be made on the Common Stock, nor may any shares of Common Stock be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for value by the Corporation, unless all dividends on the Series D Preference Stock for the then-current quarterly dividend and all past quarterly dividend periods shall have been declared and paid or set apart.

(c)    The Board may, in its discretion, choose to pay dividends on the Series D Preference Stock without the payment of any dividends on the Common Stock (or any other stock of the Corporation ranking, as to the payment of dividends, junior to the Series D Preference Stock).

(d)    No full dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any stock of the Corporation ranking, as to the payment of dividends, equally with the Series D Preference Stock for any period unless full dividends have been declared and paid or set apart for payment on the Series D Preference Stock for the then-current quarterly dividend period and all past quarterly dividend periods. When dividends are not paid in full upon the Series D Preference Stock and all other classes or series of stock of the Corporation, if any, ranking, as to the payment of dividends, equally with the Series D Preference Stock, all dividends declared upon shares of Series D Preference Stock and all such other stock of the Corporation will be declared pro rata so that the amount of dividends declared per share of Series D Preference Stock and all such other stock will in



2





all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends per share of Series D Preference Stock (but without, in the case of non-cumulative shares, accumulation of unpaid dividends for prior dividend periods) and such other stock bear to each other.

(e)    No dividends may be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any shares of Series D Preference Stock if at the same time any arrears exist or default exists in the payment of dividends on any outstanding class or series of stock of the Corporation ranking, as to the payment of dividends, senior to the Series D Preference Stock.

(f)    Holders of Series D Preference Stock will not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash or property, other than as herein provided and will not be entitled to interest, or any sum in lieu of interest, in respect of any dividend payment.

2.    Liquidation Rights

(a)    Upon any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, after payment or provision for the liabilities of the Corporation and the expenses of such dissolution, liquidation or winding up, the Holders of outstanding shares of the Series D Preference Stock will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation or proceeds thereof available for distribution to stockholders, before any payment or distribution of assets is made to holders of the Common Stock (or any other stock of the Corporation ranking, as to the distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, junior to the Series D Preference Stock), the Liquidation Preference per share plus an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid dividend (whether or not declared) for the then-current quarterly dividend period accrued to but excluding the date of such liquidation payment, plus unpaid dividends on the Series D Preference Stock for all past quarterly dividend periods.

(b)    If the assets of the Corporation available for distribution in such event are insufficient to pay in full the aggregate amount payable to Holders of Series D Preference Stock and holders of all other classes or series of stock of the Corporation, if any, ranking, as to the distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, on a parity with the Series D Preference Stock, the assets will be distributed to the Holders of Series D Preference Stock and holders of all such other stock pro rata, based on the full respective preferential amounts to which they are entitled (but without, in the case of any non-cumulative shares, accumulation of unpaid dividends for prior dividend periods).

(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holders of Series D Preference Stock will not be entitled to be paid any amount in respect of a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation until holders of any classes or series of stock of the Corporation ranking, as to the distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, senior to the Series D Preference Stock have been paid all amounts to which such classes or series are entitled.



3





(d)    Neither the sale, lease nor exchange (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Corporation, nor the merger, consolidation or combination of the Corporation into or with any other corporation or the merger, consolidation or combination of any other corporation or entity into or with the Corporation, shall be deemed to be a dissolution, liquidation or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, for the purposes of this Section 2.

(e)    After payment to the Holders of the full amount of the distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation to which they are entitled pursuant to this Section 2, the Holders of Series D Preference Stock will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Corporation.

3.    Voting Rights

The Series D Preference Stock shall have no voting rights except as set forth in this Section 3 or as otherwise provided by California law:

(a)    So long as any shares of Series D Preference Stock are outstanding, the consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the Series D Preference Stock at the time outstanding, voting as a single class, or voting as a single class together with the holders of any other series of Preference Stock (i) upon which like voting or consent rights have been conferred and (ii) which are similarly affected by the matter to be voted upon, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating any one or more of the following:

(i)    any amendment of the Corporation’s Restated Articles of Incorporation which would adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or restrictions of the Series D Preference Stock; or

(ii)    the authorization or creation, or the increase in the authorized amount, of any stock of any class or any security convertible into stock of any class, ranking senior to the Series D Preference Stock.

provided, however, that no such consent of the Holders of the Series D Preference Stock shall be required if, at or prior to the time when such amendment is to take effect or when the authorization, creation or increase in the authorized amount of any such senior stock or convertible security is to be made, as the case may be, provision is to be made for the redemption of all shares of Series D Preference Stock at the time outstanding.

(b)
On matters requiring their consent, the Holders of Series D Preference Stock will be entitled to one vote per share.



4





4.    Redemption

(a)    The Series D Preference Stock shall not be redeemable prior to March 1, 2016. On or after that date, subject to the notice provisions set forth in Section 4(b) below and subject to any further limitations which may be imposed by law, the Corporation may redeem the Series D Preference Stock, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, out of funds legally available therefor, at a redemption price equal to the Liquidation Preference per share plus an amount equal to the amount of the accrued and unpaid dividend (whether or not declared) from the Dividend Payment Date immediately preceding the redemption date to but excluding the redemption date, plus unpaid dividends on the Series D Preference Stock for all past quarterly dividend periods, if any; provided, however that any redemption that would reduce the principal amount of the Series D Preference Stock outstanding to $50 million or less in the aggregate would be restricted to a redemption in whole only. If less than all of the outstanding shares of Series D Preference Stock are to be redeemed, the Corporation will select the shares to be redeemed from the outstanding shares not previously called for redemption by lot or pro rata (as nearly as possible) or by any other method that the Board in its sole discretion deems equitable.

(b)    In the event the Corporation shall redeem any or all of the Series D Preference Stock as aforesaid, the Corporation will give notice of any such redemption to Holders of Series D Preference Stock not more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the date fixed by the Board for such redemption. Failure to give notice to any Holder of Series D Preference Stock shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of shares of any other Holder of Series D Preference Stock being redeemed.

(c)    Notice having been given as herein provided, from and after the redemption date, dividends on the Series D Preference Stock called for redemption shall cease to accrue and such Series D Preference Stock called for redemption will no longer be deemed outstanding, and all rights of the Holders thereof will cease.

(d)    The Series D Preference Stock will not be subject to any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or other similar provisions. In addition, Holders of Series D Preference Stock will have no right to require redemption of any shares of Series D Preference Stock.

(e)    Any shares of Series D Preference Stock which are converted, redeemed or retired shall thereafter have the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preference Stock of the Corporation undesignated as to series, and may thereafter be reissued by the Board in the same manner as any other authorized and unissued shares of Preference Stock.

(f)    If the Corporation shall deposit on or prior to any date fixed for redemption of Series D Preference Stock, with any bank or trust company having a capital,


5






surplus and undivided profits aggregating at least five million dollars ($5,000,000), as a trust fund, a fund sufficient to redeem the shares called for redemption, with irrevocable instructions and authority to such bank or trust company to pay on and after the date fixed for redemption or such earlier date as the Board may determine, to the respective Holders of such shares, the redemption price thereof, then from and after the date of such deposit (although prior to the date fixed for redemption) such shares so called shall be deemed to be redeemed and dividends thereon shall cease to accrue after said date fixed for redemption and such deposit shall be deemed to constitute full payment of said shares to the Holders thereof and thereafter said shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and the Holders thereof shall cease to be shareholders with respect to such shares, and shall have no rights with respect thereto except only the right to receive from said bank or trust company payment of the redemption price of such shares without interest.

(g)    Any moneys deposited by the Corporation pursuant to Section 4(f) which shall not be required for the redemption because of the exercise of any such right of conversion or exchange subsequent to the date of the deposit shall be repaid to the Corporation forthwith.

5.    Rank

The Series D Preference Stock shall rank, with respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation:

(a)    junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock and the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock, and any other equity securities that the Corporation may later authorize or issue, the terms of which provide that such securities will rank senior to the Series D Preference Stock with respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation;

(b)    equally with any other shares of Preference Stock and any other equity securities that the Corporation may later authorize or issue, the terms of which provide that such shares or other securities will rank equally with the Series D Preference Stock with respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation; and

(c)    senior to the Common Stock, and any other equity securities that the Corporation may later authorize or issue, the terms of which provide that such securities will rank junior to the Series D Preference Stock with respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.”

CERTIFICATE OF DETERMINATION OF PREFERENCES OF THE
SERIES E PREFERENCE STOCK

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY


We, the undersigned, being the Vice President and the Assistant Treasurer, respectively, of Southern California Edison Company (the “Corporation”), a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the provisions of the laws of the State of California, DO HEREBY CERTIFY:

FIRST: The Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles”), authorize the issuance of 50,000,000 shares of Preference Stock which may be issued from time to time in one or more series, and authorize the Board of Directors of the Corporation to (i) fix the number of shares of any series of Preference Stock and to determine the designation of any such series, (ii) to determine or alter the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued series of Preference Stock, including but not limited to rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions regarding dividends (including provisions specifying dividends at a floating or variable rate or dividends to be determined by reference to an index, formula, auction, bid or other objectively ascertainable criterion), liquidation, conversion, redemption and voting (including provisions specifying no general voting rights or voting rights of more than one vote per share), and, (iii) within the limits and restrictions stated in any resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors originally fixing the number of shares constituting any series, to increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any such series subsequent to the issue of shares of that series.

SECOND: Acting pursuant to the authority delegated by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, the Pricing Committee of the Board of Directors did duly adopt on January 11, 2012, the following resolutions authorizing and providing for the creation of a series of said shares of Preference Stock to be known as Series E Preference Stock, consisting of 250,000 shares, none of the shares of such series having been issued:

“NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that 250,000 shares of the presently authorized but unissued Preference Stock, no par value, be and hereby determined to be and shall be of a series of said Preference Stock hereby designated as the “Series E Preference Stock” (the “Shares”).

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of Shares of such series be and the same are hereby fixed, respectively, as follows:


1






1.    Dividends

(a)    The holders of record of the Shares (each individually a “Holder,” or collectively the “Holders”) will be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”), in its sole discretion out of funds legally available therefor, cumulative cash dividends at a rate equal to (1) 6.250% per annum of the Liquidation Preference for each semi-annual dividend period from the issue date of the Shares to, but excluding, February 1, 2022 (the “Fixed Rate Period”), and (2) the three-month LIBOR rate plus 4.199% per annum of the Liquidation Preference, for each quarterly dividend period from February 1, 2022 through the redemption date of the Shares, if any (the “Floating Rate Period”). Such dividends shall be cumulative without compounding or interest from the date of issue whether or not earned or declared. “Liquidation Preference” means $1,000 per Share.

(i)    The dividend rate for each dividend period in the Floating Rate Period will be determined by the Calculation Agent (as defined below) using three-month LIBOR as in effect on the second London banking day prior to the beginning of the dividend period, which date is the “dividend determination date” for the dividend period. The Calculation Agent then will add three-month LIBOR as determined on the dividend determination date and the applicable spread set forth above. Absent manifest error, the Calculation Agent’s determination of the dividend rate for a dividend period for the Shares will be binding and conclusive. A “London banking day” is any day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market. The term “three-month LIBOR” means the London interbank offered rate for deposits in U.S. dollars having an index maturity of three months in amounts of at least $1,000,000, as that rate appears on Reuters screen page “LIBOR01” at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, on the relevant dividend determination date. If no offered rate appears on Reuters screen page “LIBOR01” on the relevant dividend determination date at approximately 11:00 a.m., London time, then the Calculation Agent, after consultation with the Corporation, will select four major banks in the London interbank market and will request each of their principal London offices to provide a quotation of the rate at which three-month deposits in U.S. dollars in amounts of at least $1,000,000 are offered by it to prime banks in the London interbank market, on that date and at that time, that is representative of single transactions at that time. If at least two quotations are provided, three-month LIBOR will be the arithmetic average (rounded upward if necessary to the nearest .00001 of 1%) of the quotations provided. Otherwise, the Calculation Agent will select three major banks in New York City and will request each of them to provide a quotation of the rate offered by it at approximately 11:00 a.m., New York City time, on the dividend determination date for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks having an index maturity of three months for the applicable dividend period in an amount of at least $1,000,000 that is representative of single transactions at that time. If three quotations are provided, three-month LIBOR will be the arithmetic average (rounded upward if necessary to the nearest .00001 of 1%) of the quotations provided. Otherwise, three-month


2





LIBOR for the next dividend period will be equal to three-month LIBOR in effect for the then-current dividend period. “Calculation Agent” means Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., or another firm appointed by the Corporation, acting as Calculation Agent.

(b)    When, as and if declared by the Board, during the Fixed Rate Period, we will pay dividends on the Shares semi-annually, in arrears, on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on August 1, 2012 and ending on February 1, 2022, and during the Floating Rate Period, we will pay dividends on the Shares quarterly, in arrears, on February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1 of each year, beginning on May 1, 2022 (each such date, a “Dividend Payment Date”). If any date on which dividends would otherwise be payable is not a Business Day, then the Dividend Payment Date will be the next Business Day without any adjustment to the amount of dividends paid. A “Business Day” means any weekday that is not a legal holiday in New York, New York and is not a day on which banking institutions in New York, New York, or Los Angeles, California are closed.

(c)    A dividend period is the period from and including a Dividend Payment Date to but excluding the next Dividend Payment Date, except that the initial dividend period will commence on and include the original issue date of the Shares. Dividends payable on the Shares for the Fixed Rate Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months. Dividends payable on the Shares for the Floating Rate Period will be computed based on the actual number of days in a dividend period and a 360-day year. Dollar amounts resulting from that calculation will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward.

(d)    Dividends will be payable to Holders on the applicable record date, which shall be a date not exceeding 60 days before the applicable payment date as shall
be fixed by the Board.

(e)    So long as any Shares shall be outstanding, no dividend (other than dividends or distributions paid in shares of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, the common stock of the Corporation (the “Common Stock”) or any other stock of the Corporation ranking, as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, junior to the Shares), whether in cash or property, may be paid or declared or set apart, nor may any distribution be made on the Common Stock, nor may any shares of Common Stock be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for value by the Corporation, unless all dividends on the Shares for the then-current dividend period and all past dividend periods shall have been declared and paid or set apart.

(f)    The Board may, in its discretion, choose to pay dividends on the Shares without the payment of any dividends on the Common Stock (or any other stock of the Corporation ranking, as to the payment of dividends, junior to the Shares).

(g)    No full dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any stock of the Corporation ranking, as to the payment of dividends, equally with the


3






Shares for any period unless full dividends have been declared and paid or set apart for payment on the Shares for the then-current dividend period and all past dividend periods. When dividends are not paid in full upon the Shares and all other classes or series of stock of the Corporation, if any, ranking, as to the payment of dividends, equally with the Shares, all dividends declared upon the Shares and all such other stock of the Corporation will be declared pro rata so that the amount of dividends declared per Share of Series E Preference Stock and all such other stock will in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends per share of Series E Preference Stock (but without, in the case of non- cumulative shares, accumulation of unpaid dividends for prior dividend periods) and such other stock bear to each other.

(h)    No dividends may be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any Shares if at the same time any arrears exist or default exists in the payment of dividends on any outstanding class or series of stock of the Corporation ranking, as to the payment of dividends, senior to the Shares.

(i)    The Holders will not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash or property, other than as herein provided and will not be entitled to interest, or any sum in lieu of interest, in respect of any dividend payment.

2.    Liquidation Rights

(a)    Upon any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, after payment or provision for the liabilities of the Corporation and the expenses of such dissolution, liquidation or winding up, the Holders of outstanding Shares will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation or proceeds thereof available for distribution to stockholders, before any payment or distribution of assets is made to holders of the Common Stock (or any other stock of the Corporation ranking, as to the distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, junior to the Shares), the Liquidation Preference per Share plus an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid dividend (whether or not declared) for the then-current dividend period accrued to but excluding the date of such liquidation payment, plus unpaid dividends on the Shares for all past dividend periods.

(b)    If the assets of the Corporation available for distribution in such event are insufficient to pay in full the aggregate amount payable to Holders of Series E Preference Stock and holders of all other classes or series of stock of the Corporation, if any, ranking, as to the distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, on a parity with the Shares, the assets will be distributed to the Holders of Series E Preference Stock and holders of all such other stock pro rata, based on the full respective preferential amounts to which they are entitled (but without, in the case of any non-cumulative shares, accumulation of unpaid dividends for prior dividend periods).

(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holders of Series E Preference Stock will not be entitled to be paid any amount in respect of a dissolution, liquidation or

4






winding up of the Corporation until holders of any classes or series of stock of the Corporation ranking, as to the distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, senior to the Shares have been paid all amounts to which such classes or series are entitled.

(d)    Neither the sale, lease nor exchange (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Corporation, nor the merger, consolidation or combination of the Corporation into or with any other corporation or the merger, consolidation or combination of any other corporation or entity into or with the Corporation, shall be deemed to be a dissolution, liquidation or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, for the purposes of this Section 2.

(e)    After payment to the Holders of the full amount of the distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation to which they are entitled pursuant to this Section 2, the Holders will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Corporation.

3.    Voting Rights

The Shares shall have no voting rights except as set forth in this Section 3 or as otherwise provided by California law:

(a)    So long as any Shares are outstanding, the consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the Shares at the time outstanding, voting as a single class, or voting as a single class together with the holders of any other series of Preference Stock (i) upon which like voting or consent rights have been conferred and (ii) which are similarly affected by the matter to be voted upon, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating any one or more of the following:

(i)    any amendment of the Corporation’s Restated Articles of Incorporation which would adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or restrictions of the Shares; or

(ii)    the authorization or creation, or the increase in the authorized amount, of any stock of any class or any security convertible into stock of any class, ranking senior to the Shares.

provided, however, that no such consent of the Holders of the Series E Preference Stock shall be required if, at or prior to the time when such amendment is to take effect or when the authorization, creation or increase in the authorized amount of any such senior stock or convertible security is to be made, as the case may be, provision is to be made for the redemption of all Shares at the time outstanding.

(b)    On matters requiring their consent, the Holders will be entitled to one vote per share.


5





4.    Redemption

(a)    The Shares shall not be redeemable prior to February 1, 2022. On or after that date, subject to the notice provisions set forth in Section 4(b) below and subject to any further limitations which may be imposed by law, the Corporation may redeem the Shares, in whole or in part, at any time or from time to time, out of funds legally available therefor, at a redemption price equal to the Liquidation Preference per share plus an amount equal to the amount of the accrued and unpaid dividend (whether or not declared) from the Dividend Payment Date immediately preceding the redemption date to but excluding the redemption date, plus unpaid dividends on the Shares for all past dividend periods, if any; provided, however that any redemption that would reduce the Liquidation Preference of the Shares outstanding to $50 million or less in the aggregate would be restricted to a redemption in whole only. If less than all of the outstanding Shares are to be redeemed, the Corporation will select the Shares to be redeemed from the outstanding Shares not previously called for redemption by lot or pro rata (as nearly as possible) or by any other method that the Board in its sole discretion deems equitable.

(b)    In the event the Corporation shall redeem any or all of the Shares as aforesaid, the Corporation will give notice of any such redemption to Holders neither more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the date fixed by the Board for such redemption. Failure to give notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of Shares of any other Holder being redeemed.

(c)    Notice having been given as herein provided, from and after the redemption date, dividends on the Shares called for redemption shall cease to accrue and such Shares called for redemption will no longer be deemed outstanding, and all rights of the Holders thereof will cease.

(d)    The Shares will not be subject to any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or other similar provisions. In addition, Holders will have no right to require redemption of any Shares.

(e)    Any Shares which are converted, redeemed or retired shall thereafter have the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preference Stock of the Corporation undesignated as to series, and may thereafter be reissued by the Board in the same manner as any other authorized and unissued shares of Preference Stock.

(f)    If the Corporation shall deposit on or prior to any date fixed for redemption of Shares, with any bank or trust company having a capital, surplus and undivided profits aggregating at least five million dollars ($5,000,000), as a trust fund, a fund sufficient to redeem the Shares called for redemption, with irrevocable instructions and authority to such bank or trust company to pay on and after the date fixed for redemption or such earlier date as the Board may determine, to the respective Holders of such Shares, the redemption price thereof, then from and after the date of such deposit

6






(although prior to the date fixed for redemption) such Shares so called shall be deemed to be redeemed and dividends thereon shall cease to accrue after said date fixed for redemption and such deposit shall be deemed to constitute full payment of said Shares to the Holders thereof and thereafter said shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and the Holders thereof shall cease to be shareholders with respect to such Shares, and shall have no rights with respect thereto except only the right to receive from said bank or trust company payment of the redemption price of such Shares without interest.

(g)    Any moneys deposited by the Corporation pursuant to Section 4(f) which shall not be required for the redemption because of the exercise of any such right of conversion or exchange subsequent to the date of the deposit shall be repaid to the Corporation forthwith.

5.    Rank

The Shares shall rank, with respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation:

(a)    junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock and the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock, and any other equity securities that the Corporation may later authorize or issue, the terms of which provide that such securities will rank senior to the Shares with respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation;

(b)    equally with any other shares of Preference Stock and any other equity securities that the Corporation may later authorize or issue, the terms of which provide that such shares or other securities will rank equally with the Shares with respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation; and

(c)    senior to the Common Stock, and any other equity securities that the Corporation may later authorize or issue, the terms of which provide that such securities will rank junior to the Shares with respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.”

CERTIFICATE OF DETERMINATION OF PREFERENCES OF THE SERIES F PREFERENCE STOCK
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY

We, the undersigned, being the Vice President and the Assistant Treasurer, respectively, of Southern California Edison Company (the “Corporation”), a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the provisions of the laws of the State of California, DO HEREBY CERTIFY:

FIRST: The Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles”), authorize the issuance of 50,000,000 shares of Preference Stock which may be issued from time to time in one or more series, and authorize the Board of Directors of the Corporation to (i) fix the number of shares of any series of Preference Stock and to determine the designation of any such series, (ii) to determine or alter the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued series of Preference Stock, including but not limited to rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions regarding dividends (including provisions specifying dividends at a floating or variable rate or dividends to be determined by reference to an index, formula, auction, bid or other objectively ascertainable criterion), liquidation, conversion, redemption and voting (including provisions specifying no general voting rights or voting rights of more than one vote per share), and, (iii) within the limits and restrictions stated in any resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors originally fixing the number of shares constituting any series, to increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any such series subsequent to the issue of shares of that series.

SECOND: Acting pursuant to the authority delegated by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, the Pricing Committee of the Board of Directors did duly adopt on May 11, 2012, the following resolutions authorizing and providing for the creation of a series of said shares of Preference Stock to be known as Series F Preference Stock, consisting of 200,004 shares, none of the shares of such series having been issued:

“NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that 200,004 shares of the presently authorized but unissued Preference Stock, no par value, be and hereby determined to be and shall be of a series of said Preference Stock hereby designated as the “Series F Preference Stock” (the “Series F Shares”); and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of Series F Shares of such series be and the same are hereby fixed, respectively, as follows:

1.    Dividends

(a)    The holders of record of the Series F Shares (each individually a “Holder,” or collectively the “Holders”) will be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or duly authorized committee thereof (the “Board”), in its sole discretion out of funds legally available therefor, cumulative quarterly cash dividends which will accrue from and including May 17, 2012, and, if declared, will be payable on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year (each, a “Dividend Payment Date”), commencing September 15, 2012, at the annual rate of 5.625% of the Liquidation Preference. Such dividends shall be cumulative from the date of issue whether or not earned or declared, and no interest, dividends or sum in lieu thereof shall be payable in respect of the amount of any dividend on the Series F Shares not paid on a Dividend Payment Date and accrued. If a Dividend Payment Date is not a Business Day (as defined below), the related dividend (if declared) will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as though paid on the Dividend Payment Date, without any increase to account for the period from such Dividend Payment Date through the date of actual payment. Dividends payable on the Series F Shares for any period from but including a Dividend Payment Date to but excluding the next succeeding Dividend Payment Date (a “Dividend Period”) will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months; provided however that Dividends payable on the Series F Shares for the initial Dividend Period

1





and any period shorter than a full Dividend Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and the actual number of days elapsed in the period. “Liquidation Preference” means $2,500.00 per share of the Series F Shares. “Business Day” means any weekday that is not a legal holiday in New York, New York and is not a day on which banking institutions in New York, New York or Los Angeles, California are closed.
(b)    Dividends will be payable to Holders as of the applicable record date, which record date shall be fixed by the Board and shall be a date not exceeding 60 days before the applicable payment date. Dividends not declared with respect to a specific Dividend Payment Date shall be payable to the Holders as of the record date fixed with respect to such dividends when so declared.
(c)    So long as any Series F Shares shall be outstanding, no dividend (other than dividends or distributions paid in shares of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, the common stock of the Corporation (the “Common Stock”) or any other stock of the Corporation ranking, as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, junior to the Series F Shares), whether in cash or property, may be paid or declared or set apart, nor may any distribution be made on the Common Stock or such other stock, nor may any shares of Common Stock or such other stock be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for value by the Corporation, unless all dividends on the Series F Shares for the then-current quarterly Dividend Period and all past quarterly Dividend Periods shall have been declared and paid or set apart.
(d)    The Board may, in its discretion, choose to pay dividends on the Series F Shares without the payment of any dividends on the Common Stock (or any other stock of the Corporation ranking, as to the payment of dividends, junior to the Series F Shares).
(e)    No full dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any stock of the Corporation ranking, as to the payment of dividends, equally with the Series F Shares for any period unless full dividends have been declared and paid or set apart for payment on the Series F Shares for the then-current quarterly Dividend Period and all past quarterly Dividend Periods. When dividends are not paid in full upon the Series F Shares and all other classes or series of stock of the Corporation, if any, ranking, as to the payment of dividends, equally with the Series F Shares, all dividends declared upon the Series F Shares and all such other stock of the Corporation will be declared pro rata so that the amount of dividends declared for the Series F Shares and all such other stock will in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends for the Series F Shares and for all such other stock bear to each other (but without, in the case of non-cumulative shares of such other stock, accumulation of unpaid dividends for prior Dividend Periods).
(f)    No dividends may be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any Series F Shares if at the same time any arrears exist or default exists in the payment of dividends on any outstanding class or series of stock of the Corporation ranking, as to the payment of dividends, senior to the Series F Shares.
(g)    The Holders will not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash or property, other than as herein provided and will not be entitled to interest or dividends, or any sum in lieu thereof, on or in respect of any dividend payment or other payment on the Series F Shares which may be in arrears.
2.    Liquidation Rights
(a)    Upon any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, after payment or provision for the liabilities of the Corporation and the expenses of such dissolution, liquidation or winding up, the Holders of outstanding Series F Shares will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation or proceeds thereof available for distribution to shareholders, before any payment or distribution of assets is made to holders of the Common Stock (or any other stock of the Corporation ranking, as to the distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, junior to the Series F Shares), the Liquidation Preference per Share plus an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid dividend (whether or not declared) for the then-current quarterly Dividend Period accrued to but excluding the date of such liquidation payment, plus unpaid dividends on the Series F Shares for all past quarterly Dividend Periods, if any.

2





(b)    If the assets of the Corporation available for distribution in such event are insufficient to pay in full the aggregate amount payable to Holders of Series F Shares and holders of all other classes or series of stock of the Corporation, if any, ranking, as to the distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, equally with the Series F Shares, the assets will be distributed to the Holders of Series F Shares and holders of all such other stock pro rata, based on the full respective preferential amounts to which they are entitled (but without, in the case of any non-cumulative shares, accumulation of unpaid dividends for prior dividend periods).

(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holders of Series F Shares will not be entitled to be paid any amount in respect of a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation until holders of any classes or series of stock of the Corporation ranking, as to the distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, senior to the Series F Shares have been paid all amounts to which such classes or series are entitled.

(d)    Neither the sale, lease nor exchange (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Corporation, nor the merger, consolidation or combination of the Corporation into or with any other corporation or the merger, consolidation or combination of any other corporation or entity into or with the Corporation, shall be deemed to be a dissolution, liquidation or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, for the purposes of this Section 2.

(e)    After payment to the Holders of Series F Shares of the full amount of the distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation to which they are entitled pursuant to this Section 2, such Holders will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Corporation.
3.    Voting Rights
The Series F Shares shall have no voting rights except as set forth in this Section 3 or as otherwise provided by California law:
(a)    So long as any Series F Shares are outstanding, the consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the Series F Shares at the time outstanding, voting as a single class, or voting as a single class together with the holders of any other series of Preference Stock (i) upon which like voting or consent rights have been conferred and (ii) which are similarly affected by the matter to be voted upon, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating any one or more of the following:
(i)    any amendment of the Corporation’s Restated Articles of Incorporation which would adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or restrictions of the Series F Shares; or
(ii)    the authorization or creation, or the increase in the authorized amount, of any stock of any class or any security convertible into stock of any class, ranking senior to the Series F Shares.
provided, however, that no such consent of the Holders of Series F Shares shall be required if, at or prior to the time when such amendment is to take effect or when the authorization, creation or increase in the authorized amount of any such senior stock or convertible security is to be made, as the case may be, provision is to be made for the redemption of all Series F Shares at the time outstanding.
(b)    On matters requiring their consent, the Holders will be entitled to one vote per Share.
4.    Redemption
(a)    The Series F Shares shall be redeemable (i) at the option of the Corporation at any time or from time to time on or after June 15, 2017 (an “Optional Redemption”) and (ii) at the option of the Corporation exercisable prior to June 15, 2017, if the Holder of all the Series F Shares is SCE Trust I or another Delaware

3





statutory trust in which the Corporation owns all of the securities thereof designated as common securities, at any time within 90 days after an Investment Company Event or a Tax Event (each, a “Special Event Redemption”). Subject to the notice provisions set forth in Section 4(b) below and subject to any further limitations which may be imposed by law, the Corporation (y) may redeem the Series F Shares, in whole or in part, in the event of an Optional Redemption and (z) may redeem the Series F Shares in whole but not in part upon occurrence of a Special Event Redemption, in each case out of funds legally available therefor, at a redemption price equal to the Liquidation Preference per Share plus an amount equal to the amount of the accrued and unpaid dividend (whether or not declared) for the then-current quarterly Dividend Period to but excluding the redemption date, plus unpaid dividends on the Series F Shares for all past quarterly Dividend Periods, if any. If less than all of the outstanding Series F Shares are to be redeemed in an Optional Redemption, the Corporation will select the Series F Shares to be redeemed from the outstanding Series F Shares not previously called for redemption by lot or pro rata.

(b)    In the event the Corporation shall redeem any or all of the Series F Shares as aforesaid, the Corporation will give notice of any such redemption to Holders neither more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the date fixed by the Board for such redemption. Failure to give notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of Series F Shares of any other Holder being redeemed.

(c)    Notice having been given as herein provided, from and after the redemption date, dividends on the Series F Shares called for redemption shall cease to accrue and such Series F Shares called for redemption will no longer be deemed outstanding, and all rights of the Holders thereof will cease.

(d)    The Series F Shares will not be subject to any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or other similar provisions. In addition, Holders will have no right to require redemption of any Series F Shares.

(e)    Any Series F Shares which are converted, redeemed or retired shall thereafter have the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preference Stock of the Corporation undesignated as to series, and may thereafter be reissued by the Board in the same manner as any other authorized and unissued shares of Preference Stock.

(f)    If the Corporation shall deposit on or prior to any date fixed for redemption of the Series F Shares, with any bank or trust company having a capital, surplus and undivided profits aggregating at least five million dollars ($5,000,000), as a trust fund, funds sufficient to redeem the Series F Shares called for redemption, with irrevocable instructions and authority to such bank or trust company to pay on and after the date fixed for redemption or such earlier date as the Board may determine, to the respective Holders of such Series F Shares, the redemption price thereof, then from and after the date of such deposit (although prior to the date fixed for redemption) such Series F Shares so called shall be deemed to be redeemed and dividends thereon shall cease to accrue from and after said date fixed for redemption and such deposit shall be deemed to constitute full payment of said Series F Shares to the Holders thereof and thereafter said Series F Shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and the Holders thereof shall cease to be shareholders with respect to such Series F Shares, and shall have no rights with respect thereto except only the right to receive from said bank or trust company payment of the redemption price of such Series F Shares without interest.

(g)    Any moneys deposited by the Corporation pursuant to Section 4(f) which shall not be required for the redemption because of the exercise of any such right of conversion or exchange subsequent to the date of the deposit shall be repaid to the Corporation forthwith.

(h)    For purposes of this Certificate of Determination of Preferences, “Investment Company Event” and “Tax Event” shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Declaration of Trust of SCE Trust I, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”), to be dated as of May 17, 2012, by and among Southern California Edison Company, as Sponsor, the Trustees identified therein and the holders, from time to time, of undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust, as may be amended from time to time, a copy of which is available without charge upon request by writing or calling the Corporate Governance Department at the Corporation’s principal place of business.

4





5.    Rank

The Series F Shares shall rank, with respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation:

(a)    junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock and the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock, and any other equity securities that the Corporation may later authorize or issue, the terms of which provide that such securities will rank senior to the Series F Shares with respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation;

(b)    equally with any other shares of Preference Stock and any other equity securities that the Corporation may later authorize or issue, the terms of which provide that such shares or other securities will rank equally with the Series F Shares with respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation; and

(c)    senior to the Common Stock, and any other equity securities that the Corporation may later authorize or issue, the terms of which provide that such securities will rank junior to the Series F Shares with respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

(c)    Notice having been given as herein provided, from and after the redemption date, dividends on the Series G Shares called for redemption shall cease to accrue and such Series G Shares called for redemption will no longer be deemed outstanding, and all rights of the Holders thereof will cease.

(d)    The Series G Shares will not be subject to any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or other similar provisions. In addition, Holders will have no right to require redemption of any Series G Shares.


5





(e)    Any Series G Shares which are converted, redeemed or retired shall thereafter have the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preference Stock of the Corporation undesignated as to series, and may thereafter be reissued by the Board in the same manner as any other authorized and unissued shares of Preference Stock.

(f)    If the Corporation shall deposit on or prior to any date fixed for redemption of the Series G Shares, with any bank or trust company having a capital, surplus and undivided profits aggregating at least five million dollars ($5,000,000), as a trust fund, funds sufficient to redeem the Series G Shares called for redemption, with irrevocable instructions and authority to such bank or trust company to pay on and after the date fixed for redemption or such earlier date as the Board may determine, to the respective Holders of such Series G Shares, the redemption price thereof, then from and after the date of such deposit (although prior to the date fixed for redemption) such Series G Shares so called shall be deemed to be redeemed and dividends thereon shall cease to accrue from and after said date fixed for redemption and such deposit shall be deemed to constitute full payment of said Series G Shares to the Holders thereof and thereafter said Series G Shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and the Holders thereof shall cease to be shareholders with respect to such Series G Shares, and shall have no rights with respect thereto except only the right to receive from said bank or trust company payment of the redemption price of such Series G Shares without interest.

(g)    Any moneys deposited by the Corporation pursuant to Section 4(f) which shall not be required for the redemption because of the exercise of any such right of conversion or exchange subsequent to the date of the deposit shall be repaid to the Corporation forthwith.

(h)    For purposes of this Certificate of Determination of Preferences, “Investment Company Event” and “Tax Event” shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Declaration of Trust of SCE Trust II, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”), to be dated as of January 29, 2013, by and among Southern California Edison Company, as Sponsor, the Trustees identified therein and the holders, from time to time, of undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust, as may be amended from time to time, a copy of which is available without charge upon request by writing or calling the Corporate Governance Department at the Corporation’s principal place of business.

5.    Rank

The Series G Shares shall rank, with respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation:

(a)    junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock and the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock, and any other equity securities that the Corporation may later authorize or issue, the terms of which provide that such securities will rank senior to the Series G Shares with respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation;


6





(b)    equally with any other shares of Preference Stock and any other equity securities that the Corporation may later authorize or issue, the terms of which provide that such shares or other securities will rank equally with the Series G Shares with respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation; and

(c)    senior to the Common Stock, and any other equity securities that the Corporation may later authorize or issue, the terms of which provide that such securities will rank junior to the Series G Shares with respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

CERTIFICATE OF DETERMINATION OF PREFERENCES OF THE
SERIES H PREFERENCE STOCK

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY



We, the undersigned, being the Vice President and the Assistant Treasurer, respectively, of Southern California Edison Company (the “Corporation”), a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the provisions of the laws of the State of California, DO HEREBY CERTIFY:

FIRST: The Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles”), authorize the issuance of 50,000,000 shares of Preference Stock which may be issued from time to time in one or more series, and authorize the Board of Directors of the Corporation to (i) fix the number of shares of any series of Preference Stock and to determine the designation of any such series, (ii) to determine or alter the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued series of Preference Stock, including but not limited to rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions regarding dividends (including provisions specifying dividends at a floating or variable rate or dividends to be determined by reference to an index, formula, auction, bid or other objectively ascertainable criterion), liquidation, conversion, redemption and voting (including provisions specifying no general voting rights or voting rights of more than one vote per share), and, (iii) within the limits and restrictions stated in any resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors originally fixing the number of shares constituting any series, to increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any such series subsequent to the issue of shares of that series.

SECOND: Acting pursuant to the authority delegated by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, the Pricing Committee of the Board of Directors did duly adopt on February 27, 2014, the following resolutions authorizing and providing for the creation of a series of said shares of Preference Stock to be known as Series H Preference Stock, consisting of 110,004 shares, none of the shares of such series having been issued:

“NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that 110,004 shares of the presently authorized but unissued Preference Stock, no par value, be and hereby determined to be and shall be of a series of said Preference Stock hereby designated as the “Series H Preference Stock” (the “Series H Shares”); and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of Series H Shares of such series be and the same are hereby fixed, respectively, as follows:



1





1.    Dividends

(a)    The holders of record of the Series H Shares (each individually a “Holder,” or collectively the “Holders”) will be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or duly authorized committee thereof (the “Board”), in its sole discretion out of funds legally available therefor, cumulative quarterly cash dividends at an annual rate equal to (1) 5.75% of the Liquidation Preference for each Dividend Period (as defined below) from, and including, the issue date of the Series H Shares to, but excluding, March 15, 2024 (the “Fixed Rate Period”), and (2) the three- month LIBOR rate plus 2.99% of the Liquidation Preference, for each Dividend Period from, and including, March 15, 2024 through, but excluding, the redemption date of the Series H Shares, if any (the “Floating Rate Period”). When, as and if declared by the Board, we will pay dividends on the Series H Shares quarterly, in arrears, on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year (each, a “Dividend Payment Date”), commencing June 15, 2014. Such dividends shall be cumulative from the date of issue whether or not earned or declared, and no interest, dividends or sum in lieu thereof shall be payable in respect of the amount of any dividend on the Series H Shares not paid on a Dividend Payment Date and accrued. If a Dividend Payment Date during the Fixed Rate Period is not a Business Day (as defined below), the related dividend (if declared) will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as though paid on the Dividend Payment Date, without any increase to account for the period from such Dividend Payment Date through the date of actual payment. If any Dividend Payment Date during the Floating Rate Period is not a Business Day, the related dividend (if declared) will be payable on the next succeeding Business Day, with the same force and effect as though paid on the Dividend Payment Date, without any increase to account for the period from such Dividend Payment Date through the date of actual payment, unless that day falls in the next calendar month, in which case the Dividend Payment Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day. Dividends payable on the Series H Shares for any period from but including a Dividend Payment Date to but excluding the next succeeding Dividend Payment Date (a “Dividend Period”) during the Fixed Rate Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months; provided however that Dividends payable on the Series H Shares for the initial Dividend Period and any period shorter than a full Dividend Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and the actual number of days elapsed in the period using 30-day months. Dividends payable on the Series H Shares for any Dividend Period during the Floating Rate Period will be computed based on the actual number of days in a Dividend Period and a 360-day year. “Liquidation Preference” means $2,500.00 per share of the Series H Shares. “Business Day” means any weekday that is not a legal holiday in New York, New York and is not a day on which banking institutions in New York, New York or Los Angeles, California are closed.

(i)    The dividend rate for each Dividend Period in the Floating Rate Period will be determined by the Calculation Agent (as defined below) using three-month LIBOR as in effect on the second London Business Day (as defined below) prior to the beginning of the applicable



2





Dividend Period, which date is the “Dividend Determination Date” for the Dividend Period. The Calculation Agent then will add 2.99% to three-month LIBOR as determined on the Dividend Determination Date. Absent manifest error, the Calculation Agent’s determination of the dividend rate for a Dividend Period in the Floating Rate Period for the Series H Shares will be binding and conclusive.

(ii)    The term “three-month LIBOR” means (a) the offered quotation to leading banks in the London interbank market for three- month dollar deposits as defined by the British Bankers’ Association (or its successor in such capacity, such as NYSE Euronext Rate Administration Ltd.) and calculated by their appointed calculation agent and published, as such rate appears: (i) on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service Page LIBOR01 (or a successor page on such service) or (ii) if such rate is not available, on such other information system that provides such information, in each case as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Dividend Determination Date, (b) if no such rate is so published, then the rate for the Dividend Determination Date shall be the arithmetic mean (rounded to five decimal places, with 0.000005 being rounded upwards) of the rates for three-month dollar deposits quoted to the Calculation Agent as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Dividend Determination Date; it being understood that at least two such quotes must have been so provided to the Calculation Agent, or (c) if LIBOR cannot be determined on the Dividend Determination Date using the foregoing methods, then the LIBOR for the relevant dividend period shall be the LIBOR as determined using the foregoing methods for the first day before the Dividend Determination Date on which LIBOR can be so determined. “Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service Page LIBOR01” means the display designated on page “LIBOR01” on Reuters (or such other page as may replace the LIBOR01 page on that service or any successor service for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits of major banks). “London Business Day” means any day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market. “Calculation Agent” means Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., or another firm appointed by the Corporation, acting as Calculation Agent

(iii)    All percentages resulting from any of the above calculations will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred- thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)) and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards).

(b)    Dividends will be payable to Holders as of the applicable record date, which record date shall be fixed by the Board and shall be a date not exceeding 60


3





days before the applicable payment date. Dividends not declared with respect to a specific
Dividend Payment Date shall be payable to the Holders as of the record date fixed with respect to such dividends when so declared.

(c)    So long as any Series H Shares shall be outstanding, no dividend (other than dividends or distributions paid in shares of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, the common stock of the Corporation (the “Common Stock”) or any other stock of the Corporation ranking, as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, junior to the Series H Shares), whether in cash or property, may be paid or declared or set apart, nor may any distribution be made on the Common Stock or such other stock, nor may any shares of Common Stock or such other stock be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for value by the Corporation, unless all dividends on the Series H Shares for the then-current quarterly Dividend Period and all past quarterly Dividend Periods shall have been declared and paid or set apart.

(d)    The Board may, in its discretion, choose to pay dividends on the Series H Shares without the payment of any dividends on the Common Stock (or any other stock of the Corporation ranking, as to the payment of dividends, junior to the Series H Shares).

(e)    No full dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any stock of the Corporation ranking, as to the payment of dividends, equally with the Series H Shares for any period unless full dividends have been declared and paid or set apart for payment on the Series H Shares for the then-current quarterly Dividend Period and all past quarterly Dividend Periods. When dividends are not paid in full upon the Series H Shares and all other classes or series of stock of the Corporation, if any, ranking, as to the payment of dividends, equally with the Series H Shares, all dividends declared upon the Series H Shares and all such other stock of the Corporation will be declared pro rata so that the amount of dividends declared for the Series H Shares and all such other stock will in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends for the Series H Shares and for all such other stock bear to each other (but without, in the case of non-cumulative shares of such other stock, accumulation of unpaid dividends for prior Dividend Periods).

(f)    No dividends may be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any Series H Shares if at the same time any arrears exist or default exists in the payment of dividends on any outstanding class or series of stock of the Corporation ranking, as to the payment of dividends, senior to the Series H Shares.

(g)    The Holders will not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash or property, other than as herein provided and will not be entitled to interest or dividends, or any sum in lieu thereof, on or in respect of any dividend payment or other payment on the Series H Shares which may be in arrears.

2.    Liquidation Rights



4





(a)    Upon any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, after payment or provision for the liabilities of the Corporation and the expenses of such dissolution, liquidation or winding up, the Holders of outstanding Series H Shares will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation or proceeds thereof available for distribution to shareholders, before any payment or distribution of assets is made to holders of the Common Stock (or any other stock of the Corporation ranking, as to the distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, junior to the Series H Shares), the Liquidation Preference per Share plus an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid dividend (whether or not declared) for the then-current quarterly Dividend Period accrued to but excluding the date of such liquidation payment, plus unpaid dividends on the Series H Shares for all past quarterly Dividend Periods, if any.

(b)    If the assets of the Corporation available for distribution in such event are insufficient to pay in full the aggregate amount payable to Holders of Series H Shares and holders of all other classes or series of stock of the Corporation, if any, ranking, as to the distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, equally with the Series H Shares, the assets will be distributed to the Holders of Series H Shares and holders of all such other stock pro rata, based on the full respective preferential amounts to which they are entitled (but without, in the case of any non-cumulative shares, accumulation of unpaid dividends for prior dividend periods).

(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holders of Series H Shares will not be entitled to be paid any amount in respect of a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation until holders of any classes or series of stock of the Corporation ranking, as to the distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, senior to the Series H Shares have been paid all amounts to which such classes or series are entitled.

(d)    Neither the sale, lease nor exchange (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Corporation, nor the merger, consolidation or combination of the Corporation into or with any other corporation or the merger, consolidation or combination of any other corporation or entity into or with the Corporation, shall be deemed to be a dissolution, liquidation or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, for the purposes of this Section 2.

(e)    After payment to the Holders of Series H Shares of the full amount of the distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation to which they are entitled pursuant to this Section 2, such Holders will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Corporation.

3.    Voting Rights

The Series H Shares shall have no voting rights except as set forth in this Section 3 or as otherwise provided by California law:



5





(a)    So long as any Series H Shares are outstanding, the consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the Series H Shares at the time outstanding, voting as a single class, or voting as a single class together with the holders of any other series of Preference Stock (i) upon which like voting or consent rights have been conferred and (ii) which are similarly affected by the matter to be voted upon, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating any one or more of the following:

(i)    any amendment of the Corporation’s Restated Articles of Incorporation which would adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or restrictions of the Series H Shares; or

(ii)    the authorization or creation, or the increase in the authorized amount, of any stock of any class or any security convertible into stock of any class, ranking senior to the Series H Shares.

provided, however, that no such consent of the Holders of Series H Shares shall be required if, at or prior to the time when such amendment is to take effect or when the authorization, creation or increase in the authorized amount of any such senior stock or convertible security is to be made, as the case may be, provision is to be made for the redemption of all Series H Shares at the time outstanding.

(b)    On matters requiring their consent, the Holders will be entitled to one vote per Share.

4.    Redemption

(a)    The Series H Shares shall be redeemable (i) at the option of the Corporation at any time or from time to time on or after March 15, 2024 (an “Optional Redemption”) and (ii) at the option of the Corporation exercisable prior to March 15, 2024, if the Holder of all the Series H Shares is SCE Trust III or another Delaware statutory trust in which the Corporation owns all of the securities thereof designated as common securities, at any time within 90 days after an Investment Company Event or a Tax Event (each, a “Special Event Redemption”). Subject to the notice provisions set forth in Section 4(b) below and subject to any further limitations which may be imposed by law, the Corporation (y) may redeem the Series H Shares, in whole or in part, in the event of an Optional Redemption and (z) may redeem the Series H Shares in whole but not in part upon occurrence of a Special Event Redemption, in each case out of funds legally available therefor, at a redemption price equal to the Liquidation Preference per Share plus an amount equal to the amount of the accrued and unpaid dividend (whether or not declared) for the then-current quarterly Dividend Period to but excluding the redemption date, plus unpaid dividends on the Series H Shares for all past quarterly Dividend Periods, if any. If less than all of the outstanding Series H Shares are to be redeemed in an Optional Redemption, the Corporation will select the Series H Shares to

6






be redeemed from the outstanding Series H Shares not previously called for redemption by lot or pro rata.

(b)    In the event the Corporation shall redeem any or all of the Series H Shares as aforesaid, the Corporation will give notice of any such redemption to Holders neither more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the date fixed by the Board for such redemption. Failure to give notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of Series H Shares of any other Holder being redeemed.

(c)    Notice having been given as herein provided, from and after the redemption date, dividends on the Series H Shares called for redemption shall cease to accrue and such Series H Shares called for redemption will no longer be deemed outstanding, and all rights of the Holders thereof will cease.

(d)    The Series H Shares will not be subject to any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or other similar provisions. In addition, Holders will have no right to require redemption of any Series H Shares.

(e)    Any Series H Shares which are converted, redeemed or retired shall thereafter have the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preference Stock of the Corporation undesignated as to series, and may thereafter be reissued by the Board in the same manner as any other authorized and unissued shares of Preference Stock.

(f)    If the Corporation shall deposit on or prior to any date fixed for redemption of the Series H Shares, with any bank or trust company having a capital, surplus and undivided profits aggregating at least five million dollars ($5,000,000), as a trust fund, funds sufficient to redeem the Series H Shares called for redemption, with irrevocable instructions and authority to such bank or trust company to pay on and after the date fixed for redemption or such earlier date as the Board may determine, to the respective Holders of such Series H Shares, the redemption price thereof, then from and after the date of such deposit (although prior to the date fixed for redemption) such Series H Shares so called shall be deemed to be redeemed and dividends thereon shall cease to accrue from and after said date fixed for redemption and such deposit shall be deemed to constitute full payment of said Series H Shares to the Holders thereof and thereafter said Series H Shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and the Holders thereof shall cease to be shareholders with respect to such Series H Shares, and shall have no rights with respect thereto except only the right to receive from said bank or trust company payment of the redemption price of such Series H Shares without interest.

(g)    Any moneys deposited by the Corporation pursuant to Section 4(f) which shall not be required for the redemption because of the exercise of any such right of conversion or exchange subsequent to the date of the deposit shall be repaid to the Corporation forthwith.

(h)    For purposes of this Certificate of Determination of Preferences, “Investment Company Event” and “Tax Event” shall have the meanings ascribed to such


7





terms in the Declaration of Trust of SCE Trust III, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”), to be dated as of March 6, 2014, by and among Southern California Edison Company, as Sponsor, the Trustees identified therein and the holders, from time to time, of undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust, as may be amended from time to time, a copy of which is available without charge upon request by writing or calling the Corporate Governance Department at the Corporation’s principal place of business.

5.    Rank

The Series H Shares shall rank, with respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation:

(a)    junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock and the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock, and any other equity securities that the Corporation may later authorize or issue, the terms of which provide that such securities will rank senior to the Series H Shares with respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation;

CERTIFICATE OF DETERMINATION OF PREFERENCES OF THE
SERIES J PREFERENCE STOCK

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA EDISON COMPANY


We, the undersigned, being the Vice President and the Assistant Treasurer, respectively, of Southern California Edison Company (the “Corporation”), a corporation organized and existing under and by virtue of the provisions of the laws of the State of California, DO HEREBY CERTIFY:

FIRST: The Restated Articles of Incorporation, as amended (the “Articles”), authorize the issuance of 50,000,000 shares of Preference Stock which may be issued from time to time in one or more series, and authorize the Board of Directors of the Corporation to (i) fix the number of shares of any series of Preference Stock and to determine the designation of any such series, (ii) to determine or alter the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued series of Preference Stock, including but not limited to rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions regarding dividends (including provisions specifying dividends at a floating or variable rate or dividends to be determined by reference to an index, formula, auction, bid or other objectively ascertainable criterion), liquidation, conversion, redemption and voting (including provisions specifying no general voting rights or voting rights of more than one vote per share), and, (iii) within the limits and restrictions stated in any resolution or resolutions of the Board of Directors originally fixing the number of shares constituting any series, to increase or decrease (but not below the number of shares of such series then outstanding) the number of shares of any such series subsequent to the issue of shares of that series.

SECOND: Acting pursuant to the authority delegated by the Board of Directors of the Corporation, the Pricing Committee of the Board of Directors did duly adopt on August 17, 2015, the following resolutions authorizing and providing for the creation of a series of said shares of Preference Stock to be known as Series J Preference Stock, consisting of 130,004 shares, none of the shares of such series having been issued:

“NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that 130,004 shares of the presently authorized but unissued Preference Stock, no par value, be and hereby determined to be and shall be of a series of said Preference Stock hereby designated as the “Series J Preference Stock” (the “Series J Shares”); and

BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED, that the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions of Series J Shares of such series be and the same are hereby fixed, respectively, as follows:

1






1.
Dividends

(a)    The holders of record of the Series J Shares (each individually a “Holder,” or collectively the “Holders”) will be entitled to receive, when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors of the Corporation or duly authorized committee thereof (the “Board”), in its sole discretion out of funds legally available therefor, cumulative quarterly cash dividends at an annual rate equal to (1) 5.375% of the Liquidation Preference for each Dividend Period (as defined below) from, and including, the issue date of the Series J Shares to, but excluding, September 15, 2025 (the “Fixed Rate Period”), and (2) the three-month LIBOR rate plus 3.132% of the Liquidation Preference, for each Dividend Period from, and including, September 15, 2025 through, but excluding, the redemption date of the Series J Shares, if any (the “Floating Rate Period”). When, as and if declared by the Board, we will pay dividends on the Series J Shares quarterly, in arrears, on March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 of each year (each, a “Dividend Payment Date”), commencing December 15, 2015. Such dividends shall be cumulative from the date of issue whether or not earned or declared, and no interest, dividends or sum in lieu thereof shall be payable in respect of the amount of any dividend on the Series J Shares not paid on a Dividend Payment Date and accrued. If a Dividend Payment Date during the Fixed Rate Period is not a Business Day (as defined below), the related dividend (if declared) will be paid on the next succeeding Business Day with the same force and effect as though paid on the Dividend Payment Date, without any increase to account for the period from such Dividend Payment Date through the date of actual payment. If any Dividend Payment Date during the Floating Rate Period is not a Business Day, the related dividend (if declared) will be payable on the next succeeding Business Day unless that day falls in the next calendar month, in which case the Dividend Payment Date will be the immediately preceding Business Day, and the related dividend will be calculated as set forth below using the actual number of days elapsed in the period. Dividends payable on the Series J Shares for any period from but including a Dividend Payment Date to but excluding the next succeeding Dividend Payment Date (a “Dividend Period”) during the Fixed Rate Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months; provided however that Dividends payable on the Series J Shares for the initial Dividend Period and any period shorter than a full Dividend Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months and the actual number of days elapsed in the period using 30-day months. Dividends payable on the Series J Shares for any Dividend Period during the Floating Rate Period will be computed based on the actual number of days in a Dividend Period and a 360-day year. “Liquidation Preference” means $2,500.00 per share of the Series J Shares. “Business Day” means any weekday that is not a legal holiday in New York, New York and is not a day on which banking institutions in New York, New York or Los Angeles, California are closed.
(i)    The dividend rate for each Dividend Period in the Floating Rate Period will be determined by the Calculation Agent (as defined below) using three-month LIBOR as in effect on the second London Business Day (as defined below) prior to the beginning of the applicable Dividend Period, which date is the “Dividend Determination Date” for the

2





Dividend Period. The Calculation Agent then will add 3.132% to three-month LIBOR as determined on the Dividend Determination Date. Absent manifest error, the Calculation Agent’s determination of the dividend rate for a Dividend Period in the Floating Rate Period for the Series J Shares will be binding and conclusive.
(ii)     The term “three-month LIBOR” means (a) the offered quotation to leading banks in the London interbank market for three-month dollar deposits as defined by the British Bankers’ Association (or its successor in such capacity, such as NYSE Euronext Rate Administration Ltd.) and calculated by their appointed calculation agent and published, as such rate appears: (i) on the Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service Page LIBOR01 (or a successor page on such service) or (ii) if such rate is not available, on such other information system that provides such information, in each case as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Dividend Determination Date, (b) if no such rate is so published, then the rate for the Dividend Determination Date shall be the arithmetic mean (rounded to five decimal places, with 0.000005 being rounded upwards) of the rates for three-month dollar deposits quoted to the Calculation Agent as of 11:00 a.m. (London time) on the Dividend Determination Date; it being understood that at least two such quotes must have been so provided to the Calculation Agent, or (c) if LIBOR cannot be determined on the Dividend Determination Date using the foregoing methods, then the LIBOR for the relevant dividend period shall be the LIBOR as determined using the foregoing methods for the first day before the Dividend Determination Date on which LIBOR can be so determined. “Reuters Monitor Money Rates Service Page LIBOR01” means the display designated on page “LIBOR01” on Reuters (or such other page as may replace the LIBOR01 page on that service or any successor service for the purpose of displaying London interbank offered rates for U.S. dollar deposits of major banks). “London Business Day” means any day on which dealings in deposits in U.S. dollars are transacted in the London interbank market. “Calculation Agent” means Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., or another firm appointed by the Corporation, acting as Calculation Agent
(iii)     All percentages resulting from any of the above calculations will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with five one-millionths of a percentage point rounded upwards (e.g., 9.876545% (or .09876545) being rounded to 9.87655% (or .0987655)) and all dollar amounts used in or resulting from such calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent (with one-half cent being rounded upwards).
(b)    Dividends will be payable to Holders as of the applicable record date, which record date shall be fixed by the Board and shall be a date not exceeding 60 days before the applicable payment date. Dividends not declared with respect to a specific

3





Dividend Payment Date shall be payable to the Holders as of the record date fixed with respect to such dividends when so declared.

(c)    So long as any Series J Shares shall be outstanding, no dividend (other than dividends or distributions paid in shares of, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase shares of, the common stock of the Corporation (the “Common Stock”) or any other stock of the Corporation ranking, as to the payment of dividends and the distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, junior to the Series J Shares), whether in cash or property, may be paid or declared or set apart, nor may any distribution be made on the Common Stock or such other stock, nor may any shares of Common Stock or such other stock be purchased, redeemed or otherwise acquired for value by the Corporation, unless all dividends on the Series J Shares for the then-current quarterly Dividend Period and all past quarterly Dividend Periods shall have been declared and paid or set apart.

(d)    The Board may, in its discretion, choose to pay dividends on the Series J Shares without the payment of any dividends on the Common Stock (or any other stock of the Corporation ranking, as to the payment of dividends, junior to the Series J Shares).

(e)    No full dividends shall be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any stock of the Corporation ranking, as to the payment of dividends, equally with the Series J Shares for any period unless full dividends have been declared and paid or set apart for payment on the Series J Shares for the then-current quarterly Dividend Period and all past quarterly Dividend Periods. When dividends are not paid in full upon the Series J Shares and all other classes or series of stock of the Corporation, if any, ranking, as to the payment of dividends, equally with the Series J Shares, all dividends declared upon the Series J Shares and all such other stock of the Corporation will be declared pro rata so that the amount of dividends declared for the Series J Shares and all such other stock will in all cases bear to each other the same ratio that accrued dividends for the Series J Shares and for all such other stock bear to each other (but without, in the case of non-cumulative shares of such other stock, accumulation of unpaid dividends for prior Dividend Periods).

(f)    No dividends may be declared or paid or set apart for payment on any Series J Shares if at the same time any arrears exist or default exists in the payment of dividends on any outstanding class or series of stock of the Corporation ranking, as to the payment of dividends, senior to the Series J Shares.

(g)    The Holders will not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash or property, other than as herein provided and will not be entitled to interest or dividends, or any sum in lieu thereof, on or in respect of any dividend payment or other payment on the Series J Shares which may be in arrears.

2.
Liquidation Rights

(a)    Upon any voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, after payment or provision for the liabilities of the Corporation and the expenses of such dissolution, liquidation or winding up, the Holders of outstanding Series J Shares will be entitled to receive out of the assets of the Corporation or proceeds thereof available for distribution to shareholders, before any payment or distribution of assets is made to holders of the Common Stock (or any other stock of the Corporation ranking, as to the distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, junior to the Series J Shares), the Liquidation Preference per Share plus an amount equal to the accrued and unpaid dividend (whether or not declared) for the then-current quarterly Dividend Period accrued to but excluding the date of such liquidation payment, plus unpaid dividends on the Series J Shares for all past quarterly Dividend Periods, if any.

(b)    If the assets of the Corporation available for distribution in such event are insufficient to pay in full the aggregate amount payable to Holders of Series J Shares and holders of all other classes or series of stock of the Corporation, if any, ranking, as to the distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, equally with the Series J Shares, the assets will be distributed to the Holders of Series J Shares and holders of all such other stock pro rata, based on the full respective preferential amounts to which they are entitled (but without, in the case of any non-cumulative shares, accumulation of unpaid dividends for prior dividend periods).

(c)    Notwithstanding the foregoing, Holders of Series J Shares will not be entitled to be paid any amount in respect of a dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation until holders of any classes or series of stock of the Corporation ranking, as to the distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation, senior to the Series J Shares have been paid all amounts to which such classes or series are entitled.

(d)    Neither the sale, lease nor exchange (for cash, shares of stock, securities or other consideration) of all or substantially all of the property and assets of the Corporation, nor the merger, consolidation or combination of the Corporation into or with any other corporation or the merger, consolidation or combination of any other corporation or entity into or with the Corporation, shall be deemed to be a dissolution, liquidation or winding up, voluntary or involuntary, for the purposes of this Section 2.

(e)    After payment to the Holders of Series J Shares of the full amount of the distribution of assets upon dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the Corporation to which they are entitled pursuant to this Section 2, such Holders will not be entitled to any further participation in any distribution of assets by the Corporation.

3.
Voting Rights

The Series J Shares shall have no voting rights except as set forth in this Section 3 or as otherwise provided by California law:

(a)    So long as any Series J Shares are outstanding, the consent of the Holders of at least a majority of the Series J Shares at the time outstanding, voting as a single class, or voting as a single class together with the holders of any other series of Preference Stock (i) upon which like voting or consent rights have been conferred and (ii) which are similarly affected by the matter to be voted upon, given in person or by proxy, either in writing or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating any one or more of the following:

(i)    any amendment of the Corporation’s Restated Articles of Incorporation which would adversely affect the rights, preferences, privileges or restrictions of the Series J Shares; or

(ii)    the authorization or creation, or the increase in the authorized amount, of any stock of any class or any security convertible into stock of any class, ranking senior to the Series J Shares with respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.

provided, however, that no such consent of the Holders of Series J Shares shall be required if, at or prior to the time when such amendment is to take effect or when the authorization, creation or increase in the authorized amount of any such senior stock or convertible security is to be made, as the case may be, provision is to be made for the redemption of all Series J Shares at the time outstanding.

(b)    On matters requiring their consent, the Holders will be entitled to one vote per Share.

4.
Redemption

(a)    The Series J Shares shall be redeemable (i) at the option of the Corporation at any time or from time to time on or after September 15, 2025 (an “Optional Redemption”) and (ii) at the option of the Corporation exercisable prior to September 15, 2025, if the Holder of all the Series J Shares is SCE Trust IV or another Delaware statutory trust in which the Corporation owns all of the securities thereof designated as common securities, at any time within 90 days after an Investment Company Event or a Tax Event (each, a “Special Event Redemption”). Subject to the notice provisions set forth in Section 4(b) below and subject to any further limitations which may be imposed by law, the Corporation (y) may redeem the Series J Shares, in whole or in part, in the event of an Optional Redemption and (z) may redeem the Series J Shares in whole but not in part upon occurrence of a Special Event Redemption, in each

6





case out of funds legally available therefor, at a redemption price equal to the Liquidation Preference per Share plus an amount equal to the amount of the accrued and unpaid dividend (whether or not declared) for the then-current quarterly Dividend Period to but excluding the redemption date, plus unpaid dividends on the Series J Shares for all past quarterly Dividend Periods, if any. If less than all of the outstanding Series J Shares are to be redeemed in an Optional Redemption, the Corporation will select the Series J Shares to be redeemed from the outstanding Series J Shares not previously called for redemption by lot or pro rata.

(b)    In the event the Corporation shall redeem any or all of the Series J Shares as aforesaid, the Corporation will give notice of any such redemption to Holders neither more than 60 nor less than 30 days prior to the date fixed by the Board for such redemption. Failure to give notice to any Holder shall not affect the validity of the proceedings for the redemption of Series J Shares of any other Holder being redeemed.

(c)    Notice having been given as herein provided, from and after the redemption date, dividends on the Series J Shares called for redemption shall cease to accrue and such Series J Shares called for redemption will no longer be deemed outstanding, and all rights of the Holders thereof will cease.

(d)    The Series J Shares will not be subject to any mandatory redemption, sinking fund or other similar provisions. In addition, Holders will have no right to require redemption of any Series J Shares.

(e)    Any Series J Shares which are converted, redeemed or retired shall thereafter have the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preference Stock of the Corporation undesignated as to series, and may thereafter be reissued by the Board in the same manner as any other authorized and unissued shares of Preference Stock.

(f)    If the Corporation shall deposit on or prior to any date fixed for redemption of the Series J Shares, with any bank or trust company having a capital, surplus and undivided profits aggregating at least five million dollars ($5,000,000), as a trust fund, funds sufficient to redeem the Series J Shares called for redemption, with irrevocable instructions and authority to such bank or trust company to pay on and after the date fixed for redemption or such earlier date as the Board may determine, to the respective Holders of such Series J Shares, the redemption price thereof, then from and after the date of such deposit (although prior to the date fixed for redemption) such Series J Shares so called shall be deemed to be redeemed and dividends thereon shall cease to accrue from and after said date fixed for redemption and such deposit shall be deemed to constitute full payment of said Series J Shares to the Holders thereof and thereafter said Series J Shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding, and the Holders thereof shall cease to be shareholders with respect to such Series J Shares, and shall have no rights with respect thereto except only the right to receive from said bank or trust company payment of the redemption price of such Series J Shares without interest.


7





(g)    Any moneys deposited by the Corporation pursuant to Section 4(f) which shall not be required for the redemption because of the exercise of any such right of conversion or exchange subsequent to the date of the deposit shall be repaid to the Corporation forthwith.

(h)    For purposes of this Certificate of Determination of Preferences, “Investment Company Event” and “Tax Event” shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Declaration of Trust of SCE Trust IV, a Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”), to be dated as of August 24, 2015, by and among Southern California Edison Company, as Sponsor, the Trustees identified therein and the holders, from time to time, of undivided beneficial interests in the assets of the Trust, as may be amended from time to time, a copy of which is available without charge upon request by writing or calling the Corporate Governance Department at the Corporation’s principal place of business.

5.
Rank

The Series J Shares shall rank, with respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation:

(a)junior to the Cumulative Preferred Stock and the $100 Cumulative Preferred Stock, and any other equity securities that the Corporation may later authorize or issue, the terms of which provide that such securities will rank senior to the Series J Shares with respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation;

(b)equally with any other shares of Preference Stock and any other equity securities that the Corporation may later authorize or issue, the terms of which provide that such shares or other securities will rank equally with the Series J Shares with respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation; and

(c)senior to the Common Stock, and any other equity securities that the Corporation may later authorize or issue, the terms of which provide that such securities will rank junior to the Series J Shares with respect to payment of dividends and distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation.
