| Re: | Registration by Edison International of Preferred Stock on Form S-3 |
Ladies and Gentlemen:
I have acted as counsel to Edison International, a California corporation (the “Company”). You have requested my opinion in connection with the registration of an indeterminate amount of the Company’s preferred stock (the “Shares”) pursuant to an amendment to a registration statement on Form S-3 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by the Company on February 25, 2021 with the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
This opinion is being furnished in connection with the requirements of Item 601(b)(5) of Regulation S-K under the Act, and no opinion is expressed herein as to any matter pertaining to the contents of the Registration Statement or related Prospectus, other than as expressly stated herein with respect to the 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 the Company 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.
Subject to the foregoing and the other qualifications set forth herein, it is my opinion that upon due authorization by all necessary corporate action of the Company, and issuance and delivery of the Shares in the manner contemplated by the Registration Statement, including the Prospectus Supplement relating the applicable offering and in accordance with the applicable definitive distribution, purchase, underwriting, or similar agreement, and upon receipt of the consideration provided for therein, the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
