Item 7.01 Regulation FD Disclosure
As previously disclosed, on January 29, 2019, PG&E Corporation and its subsidiary, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (the “Utility”, and together with PG&E Corporation, the “Debtors”), filed voluntary petitions for relief under chapter 11 of title 11 (“Chapter 11”) of the United States Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California (the “Bankruptcy Court”). PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s Chapter 11 cases are being jointly administered under the caption In re: PG&E Corporation and Pacific Gas and Electric Company, Case No. 19-30088 (DM) (the “Chapter 11 Cases”).
On April 1, 2019, the Debtors jointly filed monthly operating reports for the period from January 1, 2019 to January 31, 2019 (the “January Monthly Operating Report”), and from February 1, 2019 to February 28, 2019 (the “February Monthly Operating Report, and together with the January Monthly Operating Report, the “Monthly Operating Reports”) with the Bankruptcy Court.
A copy of the January Monthly Operating Report is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the February Monthly Operating Report is attached as Exhibit 99.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference. The information set forth in this Item 7.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K and in Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 is being furnished hereby and shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference into any of the Debtors’ filings under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, whether made before or after the date hereof and regardless of any general incorporation language in such filings, except to the extent expressly set forth by specific reference in such filings. The filing of this Current Report on Form 8-K (including the exhibits hereto or any information included herein or therein) shall not be deemed an admission as to the materiality of any information herein that is required to be disclosed solely by reason of Regulation FD.
The Monthly Operating Reports and other filings with the Bankruptcy Court related to the Chapter 11 Cases are available electronically at http://restructuring.primeclerk.com/pge.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Financial Operating Data
The Debtors caution investors and potential investors not to place undue reliance upon the information contained in the Monthly Operating Reports, which were not prepared for the purpose of providing the basis for an investment decision relating to any securities of the Debtors. The Debtors prepared the Monthly Operating Reports solely for purposes of complying with the monthly operating requirements applicable in the Debtors’ Chapter 11 Cases. The financial information contained in the Monthly Operating Reports is unaudited, limited in scope, and as such, has not been subject to procedures that would typically be applied to financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The Monthly Operating Reports should not be relied upon by any persons for information relating to current or future financial condition, events, or performance of PG&E Corporation, the Utility or any of their subsidiaries, as the results of operations contained in the Monthly Operating Reports are not necessarily indicative of results which may be expected from any other period or for the full year, and may not necessarily reflect the combined results of operations, financial position, and schedule of receipts and disbursements in the future. These unaudited financial statements were prepared using certain assumptions and estimates. These assumptions and estimates are subject to revision. Further, the amounts shown in this statement may differ materially due to adjustments in accruals, changes in facts and circumstances, changes in estimates, further analysis, and other factors.
Forward-Looking Statements
This Current Report on Form 8-K includes forward-looking statements that are not historical facts, including statements about the beliefs, expectations, estimates, future plans and strategies of PG&E Corporation and the Utility. These statements are based on current expectations and assumptions, which management believes are reasonable, and on information currently available to management, but are necessarily subject to various risks and uncertainties. In addition to the risk that these assumptions prove to be inaccurate, factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the forward-looking statements include factors disclosed in PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, and their subsequent reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Additional factors include, but are not limited to, those associated with PG&E Corporation’s and the Utility’s Chapter 11 Cases. PG&E Corporation and the Utility undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether due to new information, future events or otherwise, except to the extent required by law.
