DIRECTOR APPOINTMENTS
On February 22, 2017, Sempra Energy’s (the “Company”) Board of Directors (the “Board”) appointed Andrés Conesa, age 47, and Bethany Jean Mayer, age 55, to serve on the Board. Mr. Conesa and Ms. Mayer were also named to serve on the Audit Committee and the Environmental, Health, Safety and Technology Committee, respectively. These appointments and committee assignments are effective on February 23, 2017.
Mr. Conesa and Ms. Mayer will participate in the Company’s standard compensation program for non-employee directors, as described in the Company’s proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 25, 2016.
OFFICER APPOINTMENT
On February 22, 2017, in addition to her role as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer and a Director of the Company, the Board appointed Debra L. Reed, age 60, to serve as the President of the Company effective March 1, 2017, following the retirement of Mark Snell (which retirement was previously reported on September 13, 2016). Ms. Reed has been the Chief Executive Officer and a Director of the Company since 2011 and has been the Chairman of the Company since 2012. Ms. Reed also serves on the boards of Halliburton Company and Caterpillar Inc. Ms. Reed brings decades of service to the Company and its subsidiaries and has benefitted from years of hands-on experience with utility and energy infrastructure operations.
