Retention Programs

 

PG&E Corporation implemented various retention programs in 2001. One of these programs granted key personnel of PG&E Corporation and its subsidiaries with lump-sum cash payments. In addition, another program granted units of special senior executive retention grants.

 

These grants provided certain employees with PG&E Corporation phantom restricted stock units that vested in full on December 31, 2003 upon PG&E Corporation meeting certain performance measures at that date. A total of 3,044,600 phantom stock units were granted under this program. There were no similar grants in 2004. These units were marked to market based on the market price of PG&E Corporation common stock and amortized as a charge to income over a four-year period. As a result of meeting the performance criteria at December 31, 2003, these units fully vested and the remaining compensation expense was
