Denault was elected December 12, 2024, and joins the PG&E Corporation board (14 members) and the Utility board (15 members) on February 19, 2025.
Denault will serve on both Audit Committees and the PG&E Corporation Finance and Innovation Committee.
Denault served as Chairman and CEO of Entergy Corporation from 2013 through 2022.

PG&E Corporation closed an offering of 6.000% Series A Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock on December 5, 2024, after underwriters exercised their option in full for 4,200,000 additional shares. The preferred stock pays cumulative dividends when declared and converts automatically into common stock around December 1, 2027, at a ratio of between 1.9465 and 2.4331 common shares per preferred share, which could dilute existing common shareholders.
Underwriters agreed to buy 28,000,000 preferred shares with a $50.00 liquidation preference each, and exercised the 4,200,000-share option in full on December 3, 2024.
Dividends accrue at 6.000% annually on the $50.00 preference and are payable quarterly from March 1, 2025 through December 1, 2027.
Preferred holders receive $50.00 per share plus unpaid dividends before common shareholders in a liquidation.
While preferred shares are outstanding, PG&E cannot pay common dividends or repurchase common stock unless all accrued preferred dividends have been paid.
