Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On June 18, 2020, J. Bret Lane, 60, informed Southern California Gas Company (“SoCalGas”), a subsidiary of Sempra Energy, that he will retire as the Chief Executive Officer and a director of SoCalGas effective August 1, 2020. As previously reported, effective June 27, 2020, Mr. Lane will no longer serve as the Chairman of SoCalGas.
On June 22, 2020, the Board of Directors of SoCalGas (the “Board”) appointed Scott D. Drury, 55, as Chief Executive Officer and a director effective August 1, 2020. Mr. Drury, currently the President of San Diego Gas & Electric Company (“SDG&E”), a subsidiary of Sempra Energy, has served in that position since January 2017 and as Chief Energy Supply Officer of SDG&E from June 2015 to December 2016. Upon assuming his role as Chief Executive Officer of SoCalGas, Mr. Drury will no longer serve as the President of SDG&E.
Mr. Drury’s position as President of SDG&E, previous executive positions at SDG&E, more than 30 years of experience with the Sempra Energy family of companies and his broad understanding of the energy industry make him a valuable addition to SoCalGas’ Board.
In connection with his appointment as SoCalGas’ Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Drury’s annual salary will be increased from its current level of $532,600 as the President of SDG&E to $600,000, and he will receive a $100,000 cash bonus upon appointment. Mr. Drury will remain eligible for the same levels of annual long-term equity-based incentive awards and performance-based cash bonuses as he currently receives as the President of SDG&E, consisting of a target for annual long-term equity-based incentive awards of 190% of his annual salary and a target performance-based cash bonus of 70% of his annual salary, with his annual cash bonus opportunity generally ranging from 0% of his target bonus for performance at the threshold level to 200% of his target bonus for performance at the maximum level.
