PG&E Fire Victim Trust Announces Sale of the Next Group of 35 million Shares of PG&E Stock

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--The PG&E Fire Victim Trust (FVT) today sold 35 million shares of PG&E stock as it continues its work to compensate the victims of fires in Northern California from 2015 to 2018. This follows the sale of the same number of shares in early October.

The FVT was created in July 2020 and funded with both cash and shares of stock pursuant to PG&E’s Chapter 11 Plan of Reorganization. At that time, 476,995,175 shares of common stock were transferred to the Trust. This was followed on August 3, 2020, with an additional 748,415 shares. Any sale, disposition or other transaction involving the Trust’s shares follow strict guidelines as outlined in filings with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

“The price at which PG&E stock traded today supported the sale of 35 million shares. Together with the sale executed in early October, we continue to add to funds available for claimants and execute against our overarching goal to help Fire Victims recover from the devastation of the fires in Northern California,” said Trustee Cathy Yanni.

As of October 28, 2022, the Trust had issued determination notices to 86% of all claimants and paid claimants over $5.36 billion.
