Section 5 - Corporate Governance and Management
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
Approval of 2007 Performance Incentive Plan
The Board of Directors of Edison International (the "Edison International Board"),
the parent holding company of Southern California Edison Company ("SCE"), previously
adopted the 2007 Performance Incentive Plan (the "2007 Plan"), subject to shareholder
approval of the 2007 Plan. According to the results from Edison International's annual
shareholder meeting held on April 26, 2007, Edison International's shareholders have
approved the 2007 Plan.
The following summary of the 2007 Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to
the text of the 2007 Plan, which was previously filed as Exhibit A to the Edison
International and SCE Joint Proxy Statement (the "Proxy Statement") filed on March 16,
2007, and is incorporated by reference herein.
The Edison International Board or one or more committees appointed by the Edison
International Board will administer the 2007 Plan. The Edison International Board has
delegated general administrative authority for the 2007 Plan to its Compensation and
Executive Personnel Committee.
The administrator of the 2007 Plan has broad authority under the 2007 Plan to, among
other things, select participants and determine the type(s) of award(s) that they are to
receive, and determine the number of shares that are to be subject to awards and the terms
and conditions of awards, including the price (if any) to be paid for the shares or the
award.
Persons eligible to receive awards under the 2007 Plan include officers or employees
of Edison International or any of its subsidiaries, and non-employee members of the Edison
International and SCE Boards of Directors.
Prior to the adoption of the 2007 Plan, Edison International maintained two active
equity compensation plans, the Edison International Equity Compensation Plan (the "ECP")
and the Edison International 2000 Equity Plan (the "2000 Plan" and together with the ECP,
the "Prior Plans").
Page 2
The maximum number of shares of Edison International's common stock that may be
issued or transferred pursuant to awards under the 2007 Plan equals the sum of: (1)
8,500,000 shares, plus (2) the number of any shares subject to awards granted under the
Prior Plans and outstanding on April 26, 2007, which expire, or for any reason are
cancelled or terminated, after that date without being exercised or shares being delivered
(including shares that become available because outstanding awards are settled in cash, but
not any shares exchanged or withheld or deemed exchanged or withheld as full or partial
payment for any award or for withholding taxes thereon). As of March 6, 2007,
approximately 15,430,941 shares were subject to awards then outstanding under the Prior
Plans. No additional awards will be granted under the Prior Plans on or after April 26,
2007.
The types of awards that may be granted under the 2007 Plan include stock options,
stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, stock units, performance shares, stock bonuses
and other forms of awards granted or denominated in Edison International's common stock, as
well as certain cash bonus awards.
Edison International 2007 Executive Bonus Program
The Compensation and Executive Personnel Committee of the Edison International Board
approved the 2007 Executive Bonus Program (the "2007 Bonus Program") subject to shareholder
approval of the 2007 Plan as described above. On April 26, 2007, Edison International's
shareholders approved the 2007 Plan.
The following summary of the 2007 Bonus Program is qualified in its entirety by
reference to the text of the 2007 Bonus Program which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 hereto and
incorporated by reference herein.
The 2007 Bonus Program will be administered by the Compensation and Executive
Personnel Committee of the Edison International Board.
The 2007 Bonus Program creates a bonus pool having a maximum value equal to 1.5% of
Edison International's consolidated earnings from continuing operations during fiscal year
2007. As disclosed in the Proxy Statement, certain SCE executive officers were granted
performance-based awards under the 2007 Bonus Program having a maximum value equal to a
fixed percentage of the bonus pool, if any. The maximum fixed percentage of the bonus pool
allocated to each named executive officer of SCE who participates in the 2007 Bonus Program
is as follows:
Name and Title Percentage of Bonus Pool
John E. Bryson, Chairman of the Edison 36%
International Board, President and
CEO of Edison International and
Chairman of the Board of SCE
Alan J. Fohrer, CEO of SCE 12%
John R. Fielder, President of SCE 8%

The Compensation and Executive Personnel Committee retains discretion to reduce the
actual amount payable to any of these officers but it is not allowed to increase the actual
amount payable to any of the officers or to re-allocate any reduced bonus amount between
program participants.
Election of Chairman of the SCE Board of Directors
Revised affiliate transaction rules, issued by the California Public Utilities
Commission on December 14, 2006, do not allow the sharing of key officers, including
Chairman of the Board of Directors, between a utility and its parent holding company after
June 12, 2007 if the utility and its parent intend to continue sharing regulatory affairs,
lobbying and legal services. Accordingly on April 26, 2007 the SCE Board elected Alan J.
Fohrer, currently Chief Executive Officer and a Director of SCE, to become the Chairman of
the SCE Board of Directors, effective June 12, 2007. John E. Bryson, an SCE named
executive officer, will cease to be the Chairman of the SCE Board of Directors, effective
June 12, 2007 but will continue to serve as an SCE Director. Mr. Fohrer's compensation is
not affected by this action.
