On March 24, 2022, Sempra Energy (the “Company”) closed its previously announced public offering and sale of $750,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 3.300% Notes due 2025 (the “2025 notes”) and $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 3.700% Notes due 2029 (the “2029 notes” and, together with the 2025 notes, the “notes”). Proceeds to the Company (after deducting underwriting discounts but before deducting the Company’s other offering expenses estimated at approximately $1.7 million) from the sale of the notes were approximately $1,241.1 million. The sale of the notes was registered under the Company’s effective registration statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-239480).
