PROSPECTUS SUPPLEMENT
(To Prospectus dated February 25, 2021)
Up to $1,500,000,000
Edison International
Common Stock
We may issue, offer and sell shares of our common stock, no par value, referred to herein as the “common stock,” having an aggregate sales price of up to $1,500,000,000 over a period of time and from time to time through J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, or “J.P. Morgan,” Barclays Capital Inc., or “Barclays,” Citigroup Global Markets Inc., or “Citigroup,” or Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, or “Wells Fargo,” as our sales agents under distribution agreements. We refer to each of these entities, in their capacity as agent, as a “sales agent” and collectively as the “sales agents.”
The distribution agreements provide that, in addition to the issuance and sale of common stock by us through the sales agents, we also may enter into forward sale agreements between us and each of JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association, an affiliate of J.P. Morgan, Barclays Bank PLC, an affiliate of Barclays, Citibank, N.A., an affiliate of Citigroup and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, an affiliate of Wells Fargo. We refer to each of these entities, when acting in such capacity, as a “forward purchaser,” and collectively as the “forward purchasers.” The relevant forward purchaser will borrow shares from third parties and, through its affiliated forward seller (as described below), sell a number of shares of our common stock equal to the number of shares of our common stock that underlie the forward sale agreement in order to hedge its obligations under the forward sale agreement. We refer to each of J.P. Morgan, Barclays, Citigroup and Wells Fargo, when acting as the agent for a forward purchaser, as a “forward seller,” and collectively as the “forward sellers.” In no event will the aggregate sales price of shares of our common stock sold through the sales agents under the distribution agreements and through the forward sellers under any forward sale agreements exceed $1,500,000,000.
The offering of our common stock pursuant to the distribution agreements and any forward sale agreements will terminate upon the earliest of (1) the sale, under the distribution agreements and any forward sale agreements, of shares of our common stock with an aggregate sales price of $1,500,000,000, (2) May 16, 2022 and (3) termination by us or the relevant sales agent any time upon prior notice, solely with respect to such sales agent; provided that the distribution agreements will continue in effect for the duration of any forward sale agreement entered into, but not yet settled, before such date.
We will not initially receive any proceeds from the sale of borrowed shares of our common stock by a forward seller. We expect to receive proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock upon future physical settlement of the relevant forward sale agreement with the relevant forward purchaser on dates specified by us on or prior to the maturity date of the relevant forward sale agreement. If we elect to cash settle or net share settle a forward sale agreement, we may not (in the case of cash settlement) or will not (in the case of net share settlement) receive any proceeds, and we may owe cash (in the case of cash settlement) or shares of our common stock (in the case of net share settlement) to the relevant forward purchaser. See “Plan of Distribution (Conflicts of Interest)” in this prospectus supplement.
The shares of our common stock will be offered by means of ordinary brokers’ transactions through the facilities of the New York Stock Exchange, or the “NYSE,” or otherwise at market prices prevailing at the time of sale, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices, by privately negotiated transactions (including block sales), or by any other methods permitted by applicable law, as agreed between us and the sales agents or forward sellers.
The sales agents and forward sellers are not required to sell any specific dollar amount of shares of common stock but will use their commercially reasonable efforts, as our agents and subject to the terms of the distribution agreements, to sell the shares offered as instructed by us.
We will pay each sales agent a commission of up to 1% of the sales price of all shares of our common stock sold through it as our sales agent under the distribution agreements. The remaining sales proceeds, after deducting any expenses payable by us and any transaction fees imposed by any governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory organization in connection with the sales, will be our net proceeds for the sale of the shares. In connection with each forward sale agreement, the relevant forward seller will receive a commission of up to 1% of the sales price of all borrowed shares of our common stock sold during the applicable period by it as a forward seller, which will be reflected in a reduced initial forward price payable by the relevant forward purchaser under its forward sale agreement.
Our common stock is listed and trades on the “NYSE” under the symbol “EIX.” On March 3, 2021, the closing price of our common stock on the NYSE was $55.80 per share.
Investing in our common stock involves risks. See “Risk Factors ” beginning on page S-6 of this prospectus supplement and the risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K and in subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K.
