Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(b) On December 7, 2017, Jeh C. Johnson, a member of the Boards of Directors of PG&E Corporation and Pacific Gas and Electric Company (the “Utility”), a subsidiary of PG&E Corporation, notified the Utility of his decision to resign from the Utility's Board of Directors effective immediately.  Mr. Johnson remains a member of the Board of Directors of PG&E Corporation and a member of the PG&E Corporation Board’s Compliance and Public Policy Committee and its Safety and Nuclear Oversight Committee.
 
Mr. Johnson resigned from the Board of the Utility so that he would not hold interlocking positions as a director of the Utility and a director of Lockheed Martin Corporation.  On December 8, 2017, Mr. Johnson was elected to the Board of Directors of Lockheed Martin Corporation effective January 1, 2018.  The Federal Power Act and associated Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (“FERC”) regulations preclude an individual from serving simultaneously as a director of a public utility and a director of a company that directly or indirectly supplies electrical equipment to the interlocked public utility, unless FERC pre-approves the interlocking positions.
