Item 4. Description of Securities
Not Applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
The validity of the Common Stock offered by this prospectus has been passed upon for us by
Barbara E. Mathews, Vice President, Associate General Counsel, Chief Governance Officer and Corporate
Secretary of the Registrant. Ms. Mathews is a salaried employee of Southern California Edison Company,
which is a subsidiary of Edison International, and she earns stock-based compensation based on Edison
International's common stock.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 317 of the California Corporations Code provides that a corporation shall have the power to
indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any proceeding or
action by reason of the fact that he or she is or was a director, officer, employee or other agent of
such corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee
or agent of another corporation or other enterprise. Section 317 also grants authority to a corporation
to include in its articles of incorporation indemnification provisions in excess of that permitted in
Section 317, subject to certain limitations.
Article Fifth of the Restated Articles of Incorporation of Edison International authorizes Edison
International to provide indemnification of directors, officers, employees, and other agents through
bylaw provisions, agreements with agents, votes of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise,
in excess of the indemnification otherwise permitted by Section 317 of the California Corporations Code,
subject only to the applicable limits set forth in Section 204 of the California Corporations Code.
Article VI of the Bylaws of Edison International contains provisions implementing the authority
granted in Article Sixth of the Restated Articles of Incorporation. The Bylaws provide for the
indemnification of any director or officer of Edison International, or any person acting at the
request of Edison International as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation
or other enterprise, for any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding to the
fullest extent permissible under California law and the Restated Articles of Incorporation of
Edison International, subject to the terms of any agreement between Edison International and such
a person; provided that, no such person shall be indemnified: (i) except to the extent that the
aggregate of losses to be indemnified exceeds the amount of such losses for which the director
or officer is paid pursuant to any directors' or officers' liability insurance policy maintained
by Edison International; (ii) on account of any suit in which judgment is rendered for an
accounting of profits made from the purchase or sale of securities of Edison International
pursuant to Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and amendments thereto or
similar provisions of any federal, state or local statutory law; (iii) if a court of competent
jurisdiction finally determines that the indemnification is unlawful; (iv) for acts or omissions
involving intentional misconduct or knowing and culpable violation of law; (v) for acts or
omissions that the director or officer believes to be contrary to the best interests of Edison
International or its shareholders, or that involve the absence of good faith; (vi) for any
transaction from which the director or officer derived an improper personal benefit;
(vii) for acts or omissions that show a reckless disregard for the director's or officer's duty
to Edison International or its shareholders in circumstances in which the director or officer
was aware, or should have been aware, in the ordinary course of performing his or her duties,
of a risk of serious injury to Edison International; (viii) for acts or omissions that constitute
an unexcused pattern of inattention that amounts to an abdication of the director's or officer's
duties to Edison International or its shareholders; (ix) for costs, charges, expenses, liabilities
and losses arising under Section 310 or 316 of the California Corporations Code; or (x) as to
circumstances in which indemnity is expressly prohibited by Section 317 of the California
Corporations Code. The exclusions set forth in clauses (iv) through (ix) above shall apply
only to indemnification with regard to any action brought by or in the right of Edison
International for breach of duty to Edison International or its shareholders. The Bylaws
of Edison International also provide that Edison International shall indemnify any director
or officer in connection with (a) a proceeding (or part thereof) initiated by him or her only
if such proceeding (or part thereof) was authorized by the Board of Directors of Edison
International or (b) a proceeding (or part thereof) other than a proceeding by or in the
name of Edison International to procure a judgment in its favor, only if any settlement
of such a proceeding is approved in writing by Edison International. Indemnification
shall cover all costs, charges, expenses, liabilities and losses, including attorneys'
fees, judgments, fines, ERISA excise taxes, or penalties and amounts paid or to be paid
in settlement, reasonably incurred or suffered by the director or officer.
Edison International has directors' and officers' liability insurance policies in force
insuring directors and officers of Edison International and its subsidiaries. Edison
International has also entered into written agreements with each of its directors
incorporating the indemnification provisions of its Bylaws.
Item 7. Exemption From Registration Claimed
Not Applicable.
Item 8. Exhibits
See Exhibit index.
Item 9. Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(a)(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this registration statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the
registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually
or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of
securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that
which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission
pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent
no more than 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
"Calculation of Registration Fee" table in the effective registration statement.
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not
previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information
in the registration statement;
provided, however, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the registration
statement is on Form S-3, Form S-8 or Form F-3, and the information required to be included in a
post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed with or furnished
to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement.
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities
offered therein, and the offering of such securities at the time shall be deemed to be the initial bona
fide offering thereof.
(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being
registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability
under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to
Section 13 (a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable,
each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed
to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of
such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be
permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the provisions
described in item 6 above, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the
Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act
and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities
(other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or
controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled
by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed
by the final adjudication of such issue.
