FORM 8-K Item 5. Other Events On March 9, 1998 Enova Corporation and Pacific Enterprises reached an agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice to gain clearance for the Enova - Pacific Enterprises merger. Under the agreement, Enova has committed to follow through with its previously announced plans to auction off San Diego Gas & Electric's two fossil-fuel power plants, located in Carlsbad and Chula Vista, California. Additionally, the merged company, Sempra Energy, will be required to gain prior Department of Justice approval before it can acquire or control any existing California generation facilities in excess of 500 megawatts. The Department of Justice's approval clears the merger under the notification requirements of the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Act. On March 11, 1998 California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) Commissioner Josiah L. Neeper issued an alternate decision to the administrative law judge's (ALJ) proposed decision issued on February 23, 1998 regarding the Enova - Pacific Enterprises merger. The alternate decision differs from the ALJ proposed decision in that the former calls for sharing of net merger synergy savings between customers and shareholders for a 10-year period, as requested by Enova and Pacific Enterprises, rather than for a 5-year period as proposed by the ALJ. Commissioner Neeper's alternate doesn't preclude other commissioners from issuing their own alternate decisions. The CPUC schedule calls for a final decision on March 26, 1998 which may be the ALJ proposed decision, the Neeper alternate, or another decision. Item 7.
