Item 8.01.  Other Events
 
On May 13, 2009, PG&E Corporation and Pacific Gas and Electric Company (Utility) held their joint annual meeting of shareholders.  PG&E Corporation and Utility shareholders elected the following directors to serve for the ensuing year:

David R. Andrews
C. Lee Cox
Peter A. Darbee
 
Maryellen C. Herringer
Roger H. Kimmel
Richard A. Meserve
 
Forrest E. Miller
Barbara L. Rambo
Barry Lawson Williams

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.
