This statement of beneficial ownership on Schedule 13D (this “Schedule 13D”) is filed on behalf of Redwood Capital Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (the “Reporting Person”). This Schedule 13D relates to the shares of common stock, no par value (the “Shares”), of PG&E Corporation, a California corporation (the “Company”). The address of the principal executive offices of the Company is 77 Beale Street, P.O. Box 770000, San Francisco, California 94177.

As described in Item 4, the Reporting Person may be deemed to be a member of a group for the purposes of Section 13(d)(3) of Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Act”) comprised of the Reporting Person and the Other Shareholders (as defined in Item 4). Each of the Other Shareholders has agreed to file a separate statement of beneficial ownership on Schedule 13D pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k)(2) under the Act containing its required information. The Reporting Person assumes no responsibility for the information contained in such Schedule 13D’s filed by Other Shareholders. The Reporting Person expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of any securities beneficially owned or acquired by any Other Shareholder.

The Shares reported herein as being beneficially owned by the Reporting Person were purchased using working capital of Redwood Drawdown Master Fund II, L.P. and Redwood Master Fund, Ltd. (collectively, the “Redwood Funds”) in open-market transactions. A total of $199.8 million was paid to acquire the Shares reported in this Schedule 13D, excluding brokerage commissions.

The Reporting Person, solely through the Redwood Funds, beneficially owns 14,200,197 Shares, which represent 2.69% of the outstanding Shares based on published information. All Shares so owned by the Reporting Person were purchased and are beneficially owned for investment purposes.

The Company has publicly announced that it is conducting a process for the refreshment of its board of directors (the “Board”) and that it anticipates that a majority of the Board will be new independent directors prior to the Company’s 2019 annual meeting of shareholders. The Company has also publicly announced that it is conducting a process to identify a permanent CEO to lead the Company.

From time to time, representatives of the Reporting Person have conducted discussions with representatives of the Company and other parties with respect to the Company’s bankruptcy case and these processes. On March 8, 2019, the Reporting Person and two other shareholders, Knighthead Capital Management, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and Abrams Capital Management, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (together, the “Other Shareholders”), had an initial joint conference call, together with financial advisers and counsel, to discuss the status of discussions with representatives of the Company regarding the Board refreshment and CEO selection processes. During their telephone conference, each of the Reporting Person and the Other Shareholders mutually agreed to act in concert to submit director candidate nominations to the Company if they collectively determined nominations to be appropriate.

On March 15, 2019, the Reporting Person entered into a letter agreement (the “Investor Agreement”), a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 99.1 hereto, with the Other Shareholders, in respect of the Company’s Board refreshment and CEO selection processes. This Investor Agreement memorialized the parties’ determination on March 8, 2019 that they expected to work in concert for what they expected to be a brief period in relation to these matters. Unless the Reporting Person withdraws from the Investor Agreement (which it may do at any time), the Reporting Person expects to act with respect to any such matter in accordance with the agreement or consensus of at least two of the three parties to the Investor Agreement. As such, the Reporting Person and the Other Shareholders may be deemed to constitute a group for purposes of Rule 13d-3 under the Act.

Based on information provided by the Other Shareholders, the Reporting Person believes that it and the Other Shareholders beneficially own in the aggregate 9.83% of the outstanding Shares as of the date of this Schedule 13D. Depending on the outcome of discussions with the Company, the Reporting Person (with or without one or both of the Other Shareholders) may submit proposed nominees for election to the Board under the Company’s director nomination bylaws, although it has not decided to do so as of the date of this Schedule 13D.

Except as set forth above, as of the date of this Schedule 13D, the Reporting Person and, to its knowledge, the Other Shareholders have no plans or proposals that relate to or would result in any matter referred in items (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Depending on market conditions and other factors, including developments in the Company’s bankruptcy case, the Redwood Funds may sell Shares in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions or purchase or sell cash-settled derivatives, the value of which is measured by changes in trading prices of the Shares. The Investor Agreement prohibits purchases of additional Shares. Accordingly, such purchases by the Reporting Person would require the consent of at least two of the three parties to the Investor Agreement or would require the Reporting Person to withdraw therefrom.

The Reporting Person also reserves the sole right to vote the Shares it beneficially owns or to take any other action with respect to such Shares. The Reporting Person and each Other Shareholder have expressly represented and agreed that they have no other written or oral agreement or understanding with respect to the Shares and expressly reserve the right for any reason or no reason to act independently with respect to the Company or their investment in it. The Reporting Person reserves the right to change its plans and make any proposal, either alone or with others, at any time.

The Reporting Person presently expects to terminate the Investor Agreement upon the Company’s election of a refreshed Board and selection of a permanent CEO acceptable to the Reporting Person. The Reporting Person reserves the right to terminate the Investor Agreement earlier or later, and to take any other action, alone or with others.

The Reporting Person may be deemed to share voting and investment power with (1) Redwood Drawdown Partners II, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Redwood Partners”), (2) Redwood Capital Management Holdings, LP, a Delaware limited partnership (“Redwood Holdings LP”), (3) Redwood Capital Management Holdings GP, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Redwood GP LLC”), (4) Little Mission Creek Corp., a New Jersey corporation (“Mission Creek”), and (5) Jonathan Kolatch (together with Redwood Partners, Redwood Holdings LP, Redwood GP LLC and Mission Creek, the “Controlling Persons”).

Shares reported herein for the Reporting Person represent Shares owned by the Redwood Funds for which the Reporting Person serves as investment manager. Shares reported herein for the Controlling Persons represent the above referenced shares reported for the Reporting Person.
