PG&E
Corporation and Utility shareholders also voted to ratify the appointment of
Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent registered public accounting
firm for 2009 for PG&E Corporation and the Utility.
In
addition, as recommended by management, PG&E Corporation shareholders
rejected a shareholder proposal which recommended that the Board of Directors
adopt a policy to provide the shareholders with an opportunity to vote at each
annual meeting on an advisory resolution to ratify the compensation paid to
certain executive officers.  As previously announced on March 24,
2009, both PG&E Corporation and the Utility have adopted a policy that, at
each annual meeting beginning in 2010, they will seek a shareholder advisory
vote on the overall pay-for-performance compensation policies and practices, as
described in detail each year in the companies' joint proxy
statement.
At the
meeting held on May 13, 2009, PG&E Corporation shareholders also rejected a
shareholder proposal which recommended that the Board of Directors take steps to
change PG&E Corporation's state of incorporation from California to North
Dakota.
