Re: Offering of Edison International
5.00% Fixed-Rate Reset Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series B (“Series B Preferred Stock”)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I am an Assistant General Counsel of Edison International, a California corporation (“Edison International”). You have requested my opinion in connection with the offering, issuance, and sale by Edison International of up to 750,000 shares of its Series B Preferred Stock (the “Shares”).
The Shares are being offered to the public by the Prospectus dated November 4, 2021 (the “Prospectus”), which is part of a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration No. 333-258265) (the “Registration Statement”), filed by Edison International with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
In my capacity as Assistant General Counsel, I am generally familiar with the proceedings taken and proposed to be taken by Edison International for the authorization and issuance of the Shares. I, or attorneys acting under my supervision, have made legal and factual examinations and inquiries, including an examination of originals and copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction, of the documents, corporation records and instruments of Edison International that we have deemed necessary or appropriate for purposes of this opinion. In our examination, we have assumed the genuineness of all signatures, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals, and the conformity to authentic original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies. In addition, we have obtained and relied upon certificates and assurances from public officials that we have deemed necessary.
