Item 8.01 Other Events.

On March 28, 2025, the Board of Directors of Sempra determined to move forward with a process to sell (i) Ecogas México, S. de R.L. de C.V. (“Ecogas”), a natural gas regulated distribution utility in Mexico owned by Sempra Infrastructure Partners (“SI”), and (ii) a portion of Sempra’s 70% interest in SI equal to between 15% and 30% of SI’s total outstanding interests (the “Minority Interest Sale”). SI and its operating subsidiaries generally make up one of Sempra’s reportable segments named Sempra Infrastructure, which owns all of Sempra’s energy infrastructure assets that are not U.S. utilities, including its liquefied natural gas assets and related infrastructure in the U.S. and Mexico.

On March 28, 2025, Sempra’s wholly owned subsidiary that holds its interest in SI (“Sempra Partner”) issued a notice to SI’s minority partners, affiliates of Kohlberg Kravis Roberts & Co. L.P. (“KKR”) and Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (“ADIA”), of Sempra Partner’s intent to pursue the Minority Interest Sale (such notice, the “Sale Notice”).

Under SI’s agreement of limited partnership (“LPA”), KKR and ADIA have certain rights of first offer for Sempra Partner’s sale of its interests in SI to certain non-affiliates of Sempra Partner. KKR has 30 business days after the Sale Notice is given to notify Sempra Partner of its offer to purchase the interests included in the Sale Notice. If KKR does not exercise this right, then ADIA will have 10 business days thereafter to make an offer to purchase such interests. If either KKR or ADIA offers to purchase the interests included in the Sale Notice, then Sempra Partner will have 30 business days thereafter to notify KKR or ADIA, as applicable, of its interest in negotiating a definitive sale agreement. If neither KKR nor ADIA exercises its rights of first offer or a proposed transaction is not timely consummated under the terms of the LPA, then Sempra Partner will have the right to pursue the Minority Interest Sale with third parties.

The sale of Ecogas and the Minority Interest Sale are expected to be completed over the next 12-18 months, subject to reaching agreement on acceptable pricing and other terms, securing required regulatory and other approvals, finalizing definitive contracts and other factors and considerations.

and other foreign policy, including the imposition of tariffs by the U.S. and foreign countries; cybersecurity threats, including by state and state-sponsored actors, of ransomware or other attacks on our systems or the systems of third parties with which we conduct business, including the energy grid or other energy infrastructure; the availability, uses, sufficiency, and cost of capital resources and our ability to borrow money or otherwise raise capital on favorable terms and meet our obligations, which can be affected by, among other things, (i) actions by credit rating agencies to downgrade our credit ratings or place those ratings on negative outlook, (ii) instability in the capital markets, and (iii) fluctuating interest rates and inflation; the impact on affordability of San Diego Gas & Electric Company’s (SDG&E) and Southern California Gas Company’s (SoCalGas) customer rates and their cost of capital and on SDG&E’s, SoCalGas’ and Sempra Infrastructure’s ability to pass through higher costs to customers due to (i) volatility in inflation, interest rates and commodity prices, (ii) with respect to SDG&E’s and SoCalGas’ businesses, the cost of meeting the demand for lower carbon and reliable energy in California, and (iii) with respect to Sempra Infrastructure’s business, volatility in foreign currency exchange rates; the impact of climate policies, laws, rules, regulations, trends and required disclosures, including actions to reduce or eliminate reliance on natural gas, increased uncertainty in the political or regulatory environment for California natural gas distribution companies, the risk of nonrecovery for stranded assets, and uncertainty related to emerging technologies; weather, natural disasters, pandemics, accidents, equipment failures, explosions, terrorism, information system outages or other events, such as work stoppages, that disrupt our operations, damage our facilities or systems, cause the release of harmful materials or fires or subject us to liability for damages, fines and penalties, some of which may not be recoverable through regulatory mechanisms or insurance or may impact our ability to obtain satisfactory levels of affordable insurance; the availability of electric power, natural gas and natural gas storage capacity, including disruptions caused by failures in the transmission grid or pipeline and storage systems or limitations on the injection and withdrawal of natural gas from storage facilities; Oncor Electric Delivery Company LLC’s (Oncor) ability to reduce or eliminate its quarterly dividends due to regulatory and governance requirements and commitments, including by actions of Oncor’s independent directors or a minority member director; and other uncertainties, some of which are difficult to predict and beyond our control.

These risks and uncertainties are further discussed in the reports that Sempra has filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). These reports are available through the EDGAR system free-of-charge on the SEC's website, www.sec.gov, and on Sempra’s website, www.sempra.com.
