CONSENT TO RECOUPMENT OF EXCESS PERFORMANCE SHARE UNITS

This Consent to the Recoupment of Excess Performance Share Units (this “Consent”) is entered into by and between PG&E Corporation (the “Corporation”) and John R Simon (the “Participant”) on October 14, 2022.
WHEREAS, the Corporation has adopted a 2014 Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended, and a 2021 Long-Term Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Plan”), pursuant to which the Corporation may grant Performance Share Units (as such term is defined in the Plan) (“PSUs”), including Performance Share Units with performance measures based on total shareholder return (“TSR-PSUs”);
WHEREAS, upon the grant of PSUs under the Plan, the Corporation entered into a Performance Share Unit Agreement with the Participant, dated March 1, 2021 (the “2021 PSU Agreement”), to grant the Participant 18,176 TSR-PSUs, subject to certain terms and conditions, and a Performance Share Unit Agreement with the Participant, dated March 01,2022 (the “2022 PSU Agreement”), to grant the Participant 14,432 TSR-PSUs, subject to certain terms and conditions;
WHEREAS, the Corporation has determined that the 2021 PSU Agreement overstated that number of authorized TSR-PSUs and the 2022 PSU Agreement understated the number of authorized TSR-PSUs using a share price estimate based upon the valuation model approved by the Corporation;
WHEREAS, the Corporation wants to offer the Participant the opportunity to retain
14,432 2022 TSR-PSUs authorized by the Corporation (the “Additional 2022 TSR-PSUs”) in addition to the 4,884 TSR-PSUs reflected in the 2022 PSU Agreement, resulting in a new total of 19,316 2022 TSR-PSUs, subject to the terms and conditions of a new 2022 PSU Agreement, in consideration for the consent of the Participant to the recoupment of 5,353 TSR-PSUs reflected in the 2021 PSU Agreement but not authorized by the Corporation (the “Excess 2021 TSR-PSUs”), resulting in a new total of 12,823 2021 TSR-PSUs; and
WHEREAS, if the Participant consents to the recoupment of excess 2021 TSR-PSUs, the Corporation wishes to cancel the 2022 PSU Agreement and replace it with a new 2022 PSU Agreement that takes into account the Additional 2022 TSR-PSUs.

3.    The Participant acknowledges that the Participant has accrued no right to benefits under the terms of the 2021 PSU Agreement with respect to such Excess 2021 TSR-PSUs;
4.    The Participant acknowledges that the promise of the Corporation to permit the Participant to retain the Additional 2022 TSR-PSUs, subject to the terms and conditions of the new 2022 PSU Agreement, constitutes good and valuable consideration for the Participant’s consent to the recoupment of the Excess 2021 TSR-PSUs;
5.    This Agreement supersedes any prior agreements representations or promises of any kind and constitutes the full, complete and exclusive agreement between the Corporation and the Participant with respect to the subject matter herein;
6.    The Participant fully, finally and forever releases, discharges and covenants not to sue, and otherwise agrees not to enforce any claim, cause of action, right, title or interest against, the Corporation and its affiliates, successors and assigns, and their respective past and present directors, officers and employees (collectively, the “Releasees”) of, from and with respect to any and all claims, demands, covenants, actions, causes of action, fees, costs, sanctions, judgments, obligations, contracts, agreements, debts and liabilities whatsoever, whether known or unknown, suspected or unsuspected, both at law and in equity, whether sounding in tort, intentional tort, contract, fraud, concealment,
