(e)           Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
 
The Board of Directors of Edison International (the “Board”) previously approved, subject to shareholder approval, amendments to the Edison International 2007 Performance Incentive Plan (the “2007 Plan”) that would (1) increase the number of shares of Edison International’s common stock that may be delivered pursuant to awards granted under the 2007 Plan by an additional 28,000,000 shares, (2) increase the ratio used to count share usage for full-value awards granted under the 2007 Plan after February 26, 2009 from 1.75 shares to 3.5 shares for every one share of Edison International common stock issued under the 2007 Plan (for this purpose, a “full-value award” means any award granted under the 2007 Plan other than a stock option or stock appreciation right), and (3) extend Edison International’s authority to grant awards under the 2007 Plan intended to qualify as “performance-based awards” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the U.S. Internal Revenue Code through the 2016 annual meeting of shareholders. Edison International’s shareholders approved the amendments to the 2007 Plan on April 28, 2001.
 
The following summary of the 2007 Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the 2007 Plan, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 and is incorporated by reference herein.
 
The Board or one or more committees appointed by the Board administers the 2007 Plan. The 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 Southern California Edison Company Boards of Directors. Awards to non-employee Directors require Board approval.
 
After giving effect to the 2007 Plan amendments, 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) 49,500,000 shares, plus (2) the number of any shares subject to awards granted under the Edison International Equity Compensation Plan (the “ECP”) and the Edison International 2000 Equity Plan (the “2000 Plan,” together with the ECP, 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).
 
The types of awards that may be granted under the 2007 Plan include stock, 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 or units of Edison International common stock, or similar rights to purchase or acquire shares of Edison International common stock, as well as certain cash bonus awards.
