| Jim Torgerson Incoming Board Chair |  |  | Message to our Shareholders from our Incoming Board Chair and CEO
|  |  |  | DEAR FELLOW SHAREHOLDERS, We are pleased to invite you to attend Portland General Electric’s (PGE) Annual Meeting of shareholders to be held virtually on Friday, April 21, 2023, at 8:00 a.m. Pacific. The Proxy Statement describes PGE's corporate governance policies and practices that foster the Board’s effective oversight of the Company’s business strategies and practices. As an independent Board, we continue to play an important role in providing oversight of PGE’s work in building and operating a safe, reliable, resilient and affordable electric utility that is leading the transition to a clean energy future. Our Board represents a wide range of backgrounds and expertise. We believe this diversity of experiences, perspectives and skills contributes to the Board’s effectiveness in managing risk and providing strategic guidance that positions the Company for long-term success. In 2022, amidst challenging weather events and significant market volatility, we continued our critical work, delivering safe, reliable energy to our customers. We also made progress in our commitment towards decarbonization and electrification. As described later in this Proxy Statement and in our 2022 Environmental, Social and Governance Report, we supplied retail customers with 39% specified, non-emitting energy, up from 35% in 2021 and 30% in 2020 as we continue making investments in renewable energy and forming important partnerships ranging from regional hydro producers to global technology companies. We recently brought online the first of its scale combined wind, solar and storage facility at Wheatridge and announced plans for the new Clearwater 311 MW wind energy facility. We also invested in substations, transmission line upgrades and improvements to our generating facilities, as well as significant cyber and physical security upgrades to ensure reliability and resilience. We also extend heartfelt thanks to two Board members, Jack Davis and Rod Brown, as they complete their Board terms, for their service to our company, customers, and community. Mr. Davis served as Board Chair for ten years, and we will greatly miss his leadership and mentorship, as well as Mr. Brown’s significant environmental and legal expertise.
| Maria Pope President and CEO |  |
i | Portland General Electric | 2023 Proxy Statement

The Company is well positioned to provide long-term, sustainable value for shareholders and all stakeholders. On behalf of the entire Board, thank you for your continued investment in PGE.

Our Board is elected by our shareholders to oversee management in its operation of PGE. In exercising its fiduciary duties, the Board’s goal is to build long-term value for our shareholders and to ensure the vitality of PGE for our customers, employees and the other individuals and organizations who depend on us.
Key responsibilities of our Board include:
•Establishing a corporate governance framework;
•Overseeing and advising management on Company strategy;
•Overseeing the Company's risk management programs;
•Overseeing the Company's ESG programs;
•Overseeing the Company's human capital management and corporate culture; and
•Conducting Board and executive succession planning.
In the pages that follow we provide information about how our Board fulfills these responsibilities, as well as other important policies and practices of our Board.
DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
The NYSE listing standards require a majority of our directors and each member of our Audit and Risk Committee, Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee, and Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee to be independent. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines require at least 75% of our directors to be independent under NYSE independence standards. For a director to be considered independent, the Board must affirmatively determine that the director does not have any direct or indirect material relationship with PGE, including any of the relationships specifically prohibited by the NYSE independence standards.
In addition to the NYSE listing standards, to assist us in determining the independence of Board members and candidates, the Board has adopted Director Independence Standards, which identify types of relationships that could exist between PGE and a director that would prevent the director from being independent. Our Director Independence Standards are contained in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, published on our website at https://investors. portlandgeneral.com/corporate-governance.
During its annual review of director independence in 2022, the Board considered whether there were any transactions or relationships between PGE and any director or any member of his or her immediate family (or any entity of which a director or an immediate family member is an executive officer, general partner or significant equity holder) and whether there were charitable contributions to not-for-profit organizations for which a director or an immediate family member of a director serves as a board member or executive officer.
As a result of this review, the Board affirmatively determined that other than Ms. Pope, all current members of the Board and its standing committees are independent under NYSE listing standards and our Director Independence Standards.

GOVERNANCE STRUCTURE AND PROCESSES
Board Leadership Structure
Our Board believes that PGE is best served by maintaining the flexibility to determine its leadership structure based on our evolving needs. Our Corporate Governance Guidelines call for the appointment of a Board Chair and require the appointment of a Lead Independent Director if the Board Chair is not independent. The duties of our Board Chair include:
•Presiding over and managing meetings of the Board;
•Serving as the principal liaison between management and other non-management directors;
•Working closely with the Committees in fulfilling their charter obligations, including risk oversight, the annual Board evaluation and annual CEO performance review;
•With the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee, overseeing the composition of the Board;
•Advising senior management on strategy and significant matters as appropriate; and
•Representing the Board at PGE's Annual Meeting of shareholders, and in communications with shareholders and other stakeholders.
We currently separate the roles of CEO and Board Chair. Jim Torgerson, our incoming Board Chair, is independent as defined in the NYSE listing standards and our own Director Independence Standards, which are described in our Corporate Governance Guidelines.
Our Board periodically reviews our leadership structure to determine whether it continues to serve the interests of the Company. We believe our current leadership structure promotes strong independent Board oversight and management accountability and allows our CEO to focus her time and efforts on establishing our strategic direction and managing the affairs of the Company.
BOARD REFRESHMENT
Under our director retirement and tenure policy, which is contained in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, candidates will not be nominated for election after age 75, and candidates elected after July 25, 2018 will not be nominated to serve on the Board for more than 12 years, unless the Board determines that such director’s continued service would be in the best interests of PGE. Our retirement policy is anchored on the need for Board refreshment and balanced tenure at the Board. We have an active board refreshment program with 6 new directors since 2019 and an average tenure of 6.3 years.
The Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee recommends director candidates to the Board. The Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee carries out this responsibility through a year-round process described below:

24 | Portland General Electric | 2023 Proxy Statement

Item 1: Election of Directors | Table of Contents

1 | à | 2 | à | 3 | à | 4
Evaluation of Board Composition | Candidate Recruitment | Candidate Evaluation | Recommendation to Board
The Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee evaluates the Board's membership needs. |  | If the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee determines that there is a need for new candidates, individuals are identified through a variety of methods, including shareholder recommendations. |  | Candidates are evaluated on whether they exhibit core attributes that our Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee looks for in all candidates, as well as Board membership needs. |  | The Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee recommends selected candidates to the Board for nomination or appointment to the Board.

Evaluation of Board Composition. Each year the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee evaluates the size and composition of the Board to assess whether they are appropriately considering our evolving needs. In making this evaluation, the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee considers PGE's strategic direction, current director qualifications, experience, and diversity, the results of Board and committee self-assessments, and legal and regulatory requirements. The Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee also considers whether there may be a need to fill a future Board vacancy considering our director retirement and tenure policy or anticipated dates of retirement. If the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee identifies a need to fill a future Board vacancy or add to the mix of skills and qualifications represented on the Board, the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee oversees the director recruitment process.
Candidate Recruitment. The Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee identifies new Board candidates through a variety of methods, including the use of third-party search firms, suggestions from current directors, shareholders, or employees, and self-nominations. Our newest director, Patricia Salas Pineda, was recommended by a board advisory firm prior to her nomination and election to the Board of Directors.
The Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee considers candidates recommended by shareholders. The recommendation and information about the recommended candidate should be sent to the Chair of the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee, in care of our Corporate Secretary, at Portland General Electric Company, 121 SW Salmon Street, 1WTC1301, Portland, Oregon 97204.
The Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee will use the same process to evaluate a candidate regardless of the source of the recommendation.
Candidate Evaluation. In evaluating director candidates, the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee seeks to identify individuals who, at a minimum, have the following characteristics:
•A reputation for honesty, ethical conduct and sound business judgment
•Demonstration of significant accomplishments in their field
•Experience and skills in the utility industry or other areas important to the strategic direction and operation of PGE
•Availability and willingness to be diligent in fulfilling the responsibilities of Board membership and
•Freedom from conflicts of interest
In addition to evaluating a candidate’s individual qualifications, the Board and the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee consider how a candidate would contribute to the overall mix of experience, qualifications, skills and other attributes represented on our Board. We believe it is important that the Board exhibit diversity across a

25 | Portland General Electric | 2023 Proxy Statement

Item 1: Election of Directors | Table of Contents

variety of parameters, including age, gender, and race, and we actively seek out diverse candidates. The Board has, therefore, not felt the need to adopt a formal Board diversity policy.
Recommendation to the Board of Directors. Each year in advance of our Annual Meeting of shareholders, the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee recommends a group of nominees to be presented to the shareholders for election to the Board. As appropriate, the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee also recommends candidates for appointment to the Board between annual meetings. Directors who are appointed by the Board between annual meetings stand for election at the next Annual Meeting of shareholders.
Committee Membership Rotation: The Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee periodically considers rotating board committee membership with a view to balancing the benefits of continuity and specialized knowledge with the benefits of diversity of experience and viewpoints. Typically, rotation decisions are made in connection with re-nomination decisions and becomes effective upon re-election of directors by our shareholders. If re-elected, consistent with the committee membership rotation considerations in our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board has approved the following committee assignment rotations: Mr. Lewis will move from the Audit and Risk Committee to the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee; Dr. Jackson will move from the Finance Committee to the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee, Mr. Torgerson will leave the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee, and Ms. Pineda will become the Chair of the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee.
BOARD AND COMMITTEE SELF-EVALUATION PROCESS
Each year the Board conducts evaluates its performance and effectiveness as well as that of its committees. The Chair of the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee leads the Board’s assessment process, which requires each director to complete a written evaluation of the performance of the Board and each committees on which the director serves. These evaluations are anonymous, except to the extent a director elects otherwise. In addition to the written evaluations, the Chair of the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee meets individually with each director for an open discussion about Board and Committee performance. The results of our directors’ feedback are summarized and provided to all Board members. The Chair of the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee leads a discussion regarding the results with the committee members as well as the entire Board annually. In addition, the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee conducts a formal mid-year evaluation of the effectiveness of implemented changes or adjustments to help ensure accountability for improvements.
The Board and Committee Self-Evaluation questionnaire and interview are comprehensive, and include questions about Board culture, meeting agendas, and interactions with management. The assessment includes questions designed to assess director preparedness for meetings as well as potential gaps in the skills on the Board. The Board uses this feedback as part of the refreshment process. Periodically, the Board engages an outside party to review Board practices, processes and culture. The last such engagement was in 2021.
COMMITMENT FROM OUR BOARD
The Board recognizes that its members benefit from service on the boards of other companies and it encourages such service. The Board also believes, however, that it is critical that directors dedicate sufficient time to their service on PGE’s Board. In 2022, the Board updated the Corporate Governance Guidelines to set a limit of four additional public company boards for Directors. Directors must notify the Chair of the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee and the Corporate Secretary before accepting an invitation to serve on the board of any other company or becoming an officer of a company. The Chair of the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee reviews and determines whether the position would affect the director's ability to serve on the Board, and in making this determination, the Chair of the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee considers the time commitment and any conflict or interlocking director or officer restrictions that may apply. Further, the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee considers the number of boards a director is on in considering whether to re-nominate a director for election to the Board.
Directors are expected to attend all Board meetings and meetings of committees on which they serve, as well as the Company's Annual Meeting of shareholders. While the Board understands that circumstances may arise from time to time that prevent a director from attending a meeting, directors are expected to make these meetings a priority. During

26 | Portland General Electric | 2023 Proxy Statement

Item 1: Election of Directors | Table of Contents

2022, each director attended at least 75% of the meetings of the Board and meetings held by all committees on which the director served, with one exception. Ms. Pineda was appointed to the Board of Directors, and to the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee and the Finance Committee of the Board of Directors, effective October 1, 2022. Because she was appointed late in the year and had a pre-existing conflict for one of the meeting days, she did not meet the 75% threshold. Excluding that exception, the directors nominees collectively attended 98.83% of all Board and Board committee meetings. All of the directors who were on the Board also attended the Company's 2022 annual mee ting of Shareholders. There were nine meetings of the Board of Directors in 2022.
Under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the non-management directors must meet in executive session without management at least quarterly. The Chair of the Board presides over executive sessions of the non-management directors. If the the non-management directors include directors who are not independent under the NYSE listing standards, our Corporate Governance Guidelines require the independent directors to meet separately in executive session at least once a year. There were eight executive sessions of the non-management directors in 2022. Throughout 2022, all of our non-management directors were independent under the NYSE listing standards and our Standards for Determination of Director Independence. Accordingly, the eight meetings of our non-management directors in 2022 also constituted meetings of our independent directors.
Director Resignation Policy
We have adopted a director resignation policy, which is contained in our Corporate Governance Guidelines. Under the policy, any incumbent director who fails to receive a majority vote in an uncontested election is expected to tender a resignation within five days following the certification of election results. The Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee will consider the offer of resignation and, within 45 days following the date of the election of directors, recommend to the Board whether to accept or reject the offer of resignation. The Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee will base its decision on factors the committee deems relevant, including the stated reason or reasons why shareholders voted against the director’s reelection and whether the director’s resignation from the Board would be in the best interests of PGE and its shareholders. The Board will act on the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee's recommendation within 90 days after the date of the shareholders’ meeting at which the election of directors occurred. A director who is required to tender a resignation may not participate in the deliberations or decision regarding the offer of resignation. Within four business days after the Board’s decision with respect to an offer of resignation, the Company will publicly disclose the Board’s decision and, if applicable, reasons for rejecting the offer of resignation, in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC.
Stock Ownership Guidelines for Directors
Our Corporate Governance Guidelines require each non-employee director to own shares of PGE common stock with a value equal to at least five times the value of the annual base cash retainer fee for non-employee directors. All of our directors either meet the stock ownership requirement or are on track to do so by the applicable target date. Our stock ownership policy for executive officers is described on page 67 of this Proxy Statement.
Director Orientation and Continuing Education
New directors receive information about our business, strategy and management team to familiarize them with PGE before their first Board meeting. We also arrange a series of orientation meetings between each new director and senior leaders throughout the company to help new directors understand the operations of the business and their specific Board and committee duties.
We typically provide continuing education to directors annually on specific topics that relate to our strategic priorities. These sessions are typically led by management. Directors are encouraged to visit our facilities. Directors may also attend external education programs and are reimbursed for the cost of those programs.

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Our Board recognizes that transactions between PGE and certain individuals and entities, including our directors and officers, may raise questions as to whether those transactions are consistent with the best interests of PGE and its shareholders. Accordingly, the Board has adopted a written Related Person Transactions Policy, which addresses our policies regarding the review, approval, or ratification of certain transactions between PGE and certain “related persons,” including our directors, executive officers, director nominees, and owners of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities. Under the policy, transactions between PGE and a related person involving more than $120,000 in which the related person has a direct or indirect material interest are not permitted unless the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee determines that the transaction is not inconsistent with the best interests of PGE and its shareholders. Before entering into such a transaction with PGE, the related person or the business unit leader responsible for the potential transaction is required to provide notice to the General Counsel of the facts and circumstances of the proposed transaction. Certain types of transactions—including executive and director compensation that is required to be disclosed under SEC disclosure rules and the provision of tariff-based utility service—are exempt from the policy.
Our Related Person Transactions Policy supplements and does not supersede other policies that apply to transactions with related persons, such as our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct. Under our Code of Business Ethics and Conduct, our directors, officers, and employees must report any violation of the code or any situation or matters that may be considered to be unethical or a conflict of interest. Any conflict of interest under the code involving a director, an executive officer, or our Controller is reviewed by the Audit and Risk Committee. Only the Audit and Risk Committee may waive such a conflict, which will be promptly disclosed to our shareholders as required by law.
COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE BOARD
The Board and the Audit and Risk Committee have approved a process for handling communications to the Board and its committees. Shareholders and other interested parties may submit written communications to the Board (including the Chair), a Board committee, or the non-management directors as a group. Communications may include the reporting of concerns related to governance, corporate conduct, business ethics, financial practices, legal issues and accounting or audit matters. Communications should be in writing and addressed to the Board, or any individual director or group or committee of directors by either name or title, and should be sent in care of:
Portland General Electric Company
Attention: Corporate Secretary
121 SW Salmon Street, 1WTC1301
Portland, Oregon 97204

All appropriate communications received from shareholders and other interested parties will be forwarded to the Board, or the specified director, Board committee or group of directors, as appropriate.
A full description of our process for handling communications with the Board is published on our website at https://investors.portlandgeneral.com/corporate-governance and is available in print to shareholders, without charge, upon request to Portland General Electric Company at its principal executive offices at 121 SW Salmon Street, 1WTC1301, Portland, Oregon 97204, Attention: Corporate Secretary.

BOARD COMMITTEES
The Board has established four standing committees: the Audit and Risk Committee, the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee, and the Finance Committee. Each standing committee has a Board-approved charter, which is reviewed annually by the respective committee and by our Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee. The Board may also establish temporary committees as needed to address specific issues that arise from time to time.
Each year our Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee reviews the composition and mandates of our standing committees to ensure that they continue to support the effective execution of the Board's responsibilities. The Board approves committee and chair assignments at least annually.
Each Board committee may retain and compensate consultants or other advisors as necessary for it to carry out its duties. To the extent permitted by law and the NYSE listing standards, Board committees may form subcommittees and delegate authority to the subcommittees, or to a committee chair individually.

RISK MANAGEMENT
The Board and its committees have broad responsibility for the oversight of significant strategic, operational, financial, reputational and ESG risk, and actively review our enterprise risk management program and monitor strategic and emerging risks.
The Board is responsible for assessing whether management has put in place effective systems to identify, evaluate, and manage the material risks facing PGE. The Board satisfies its oversight function through regular reporting from management on areas of material risk, including strategic, operational, cybersecurity, environmental, financial, legal and regulatory risks. In addition, management reports each quarter to the Audit and Risk Committee on the activities and findings of our risk management program. At least annually, the Board and the Finance Committee also review corporate goals and approve capital budgets to ensure they are aligned with PGE's strategy.
While the full Board has ultimate responsibility for oversight of risk management, particularly with regard to strategic risks, each of the standing committees of the Board has been assigned a role in assisting the Board with its oversight responsibilities. Key risk areas overseen by the Board's committees are shown below:

Committee |  | Risk Oversight Responsibilities
Audit and Risk |  | •Oversees the activities of the Executive Risk Committee (described below) •Assists the Board in providing oversight of our Enterprise Risk Management Program including review of risks, mitigations and metrics •Oversees key risks, including: ◦Financial reporting and internal controls including the internal controls related to ESG disclosures and metrics ◦Financial risk exposure and mitigations ◦Litigation and compliance risks ◦Cybersecurity and information technology risks ◦Physical security risks

Management is responsible for day-to-day identification and management of risk. To ensure consistency and comprehensiveness in its approach, we have established an Executive Risk Committee to oversee our risk management programs. One core function of the Executive Risk Committee is to sponsor an annual enterprise-wide risk assessment, the results of which are used to inform our goals and priorities for the next year. We have also established standing executive committees with responsibility for managing risks over defined areas and reporting as appropriate to the Executive Risk Committee or the Audit and Risk Committee. These include our Integrated Security, Operations, People, and Strategy Executive Committees.
Selected Area of Risk Oversight

Cybersecurity | We have identified cybersecurity as a key enterprise risk. The Board has assigned primary responsibility for cybersecurity oversight to the Audit and Risk Committee, which received quarterly cybersecurity updates as well as an annual deep dive in 2022 that focused on cybersecurity threats, defenses, and data analytics that impact our most critical assets as well as cybersecurity risks in the key risk reports discussed above. In addition to the deep dive, in 2022, management and the Board participated in a half-day simulated cybersecurity exercise facilitated by a third party, designed to test procedures and communication in the event of a cyber-attack. The Board has established a Cyber Incident Response Committee, which functions as a standby committee authorized to act on behalf of the Board in the event of a significant cybersecurity incident. This Cyber Incident Response Committee is composed of all the members of the Audit and Risk Committee and the Chair of the Board. The Chair of the Board serves as the Chair of that committee. Management established an integrated security steering committee comprised of a multidisciplinary management team to provide governance and integrated strategic direction for the identification, protection and detection of cybersecurity and physical risks. This committee reports to the Integrated Security Executive Committee and the Executive Risk Committee. We identify and manage information security risk using the National Institute of Standard and Technology Cybersecurity Framework (NIST), work closely with public and private sources for intelligence and monitoring, and periodically subject our program to external audit and review. All employees are required to take annual cybersecurity awareness training. We conduct monthly phishing campaigns in which employees are expected to report suspicious emails. If employees click on the training phishing email, they are provided immediate feedback on how to avoid phishing, in addition to being required to complete additional training. Quarterly security awareness is provided to all employees and focuses on cyber and physical security best practices. In 2022, we are not aware of any material breaches due to cybersecurity threats.

Environmental, Social and Governance
The Board and its committees oversee safety, climate change, diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) and other ESG risks and opportunities as an integral part of their oversight of our strategy. ESG issues are core to our strategy and therefore incorporated into topics reviewed at each Board meeting. Responsibility for ESG performance is integrated with the policies and principles that govern PGE.
The Board regularly reviews and monitors risks arising from climate change related events that impact our business, such as ice storms and wildfires and oversees the mitigation efforts for such events. The Board oversees the impact of legislation and regulation on our clean and renewable energy and transportation electrification strategy and monitors progress towards alignment with local, state and federal goals. In addition, the Board approves capital budgets that reflect allocation decisions towards system-wide resilience and customer facing-programs, as well as financing arrangements that have key ESG metrics to determine success. The Board also reviews community engagement and DEI initiatives to ensure that they advance our strategic goals.
Key risk areas overseen by the Board and the committees are shown below:
Sustainability and ESG Governance Framework
Management is responsible for day-to-day management of identifying and achieving sustainability and ESG related goals. To ensure consistency and comprehensiveness in its approach, we have established a Sustainability and Environmental, Social and Governance Steering Committee to oversee the execution of the strategies designed to achieve the goals. This committee reports to the Strategy Executive Steering Committee. Each business area is responsible for certain aspects of ESG and sustainability, and uses effective performance management techniques to align employees around the successful execution of our efforts to achieve our goals.

Selected Area of ESG Oversight

Diversity, Equity and Inclusion | The Board’s commitment to review and guide management on our corporate culture and DEI initiatives is also reflected in our Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Board reviews the Company’s DEI progress semi-annually, and monitors our commitments, metrics and trends related to workforce representation, pay equity, advancement opportunities and culture/employee sentiment. The Board will continue to monitor our DEI commitments to enhance transparency and accountability.

Political Engagement and Disclosure | Political developments can have a significant impact on the Company and our stakeholders. Therefore, we participate in the political process through regular engagement with public officials and policy makers, and by making contributions to candidates, parties and political action committees from across the political spectrum that support policies that help advance our business strategy, including clean and renewable energy and efficient electrification. We will only make political contributions that comply with the law and adhere to our Political Engagement Policy. All contributions are approved by the most senior officer responsible for government affairs or the President and CEO. Exceptions to the Political Engagement Policy must be approved by the Vice-President of Public Affairs and the General Counsel. Management publishes an annual report disclosing contributions from corporate funds to campaign committees, political action committees and ballot measure committees. The Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee reviews the annual report and the Political Engagement Policy annually and receives a report on any significant exceptions or waivers to the Political Engagement Policy.

Ethics and Compliance
To establish the foundation of our ethics and compliance culture, the Board has adopted a Code of Business Ethics and Conduct, which all directors, officers, and employees are expected to adhere to and affirm. The code covers all areas of workplace conduct, including conflicts of interest, unfair or unethical use of corporate opportunities, protection of confidential information, and legal and regulatory compliance. In addition, our CEO, CFO, and Controller must abide by the Code of Ethics for Chief Executive and Senior Financial Officers. Employees are expected to report any violation of our ethics codes and may do so using a variety of methods, including an anonymous third-party hotline. In addition, the Audit and Risk Committee has also adopted procedures for receiving and addressing complaints regarding accounting, internal accounting controls, or auditing matters. The Audit and Risk Committee receives quarterly reports from our Ethics and Governance and Compliance departments on key compliance metrics and employee conduct matters.

SENIOR MANAGEMENT SUCCESSION PLANNING
Our Board understands that our people and our culture are vital to our continued success. We seek to attract and retain a talented, motivated, and diverse workforce and to maintain a culture that reflects our core values, our drive for performance, and our commitment to acting with the highest levels of honesty, integrity, and compliance.
Senior Management Succession
The Board believes CEO succession planning is one of its most important responsibilities. In accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board oversees CEO and senior management succession planning and talent development with the assistance of the Nominating, Governance and Sustainability Committee and the Compensation Culture and Talent Committee to ensure there is a pool of internal candidates who can assume executive officer positions.
At least annually, the Board reviews succession plans for senior management, which includes a review of the qualifications and development plans of potential internal candidates and diversity of the succession pipeline. Directors also regularly have an opportunity to meet and engage with potential internal senior management successors at Board, and committee meetings and during operational visits. In addition, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee regularly conducts in-depth reviews of development plans for promising management talent. The Board also maintains an emergency succession plan for the CEO, which is reviewed annually.
Human Capital Management
The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee has primary responsibility for overseeing our human capital management programs. In addition to providing input on leadership succession planning and talent development, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee regularly engages with management on a broad range of human capital management topics, including health and safety, diversity and inclusion, pay equity, strategic workforce planning, employee engagement, employee well-being programs, and performance management.
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
We offer non-management directors both cash and equity compensation. Cash compensation is provided in the form of annual cash retainers for Board and committee service. Equity is provided in the form of an annual grant of restricted stock units with time-based vesting conditions (RSUs). Ms. Pope is not paid any additional compensation for her services as a director. Our 2022 director compensation arrangements are described below.

Annual Cash Retainer and Equity Awards | Amount ($)
Annual Cash Retainer for Board Service | 70,000 |
Annual Cash Retainer for Board Chair | 125,000 |

Item 1: Election of Directors | Table of Contents

Quarterly Cash Retainer
Directors' cash retainers for Board and committee service are paid quarterly in arrears. We also reimburse certain expenses related to Board service, including expenses related to attendance at Board and committee meetings. Directors are not paid meeting fees.
Annual Equity Awards
Under our 2022 equity compensation arrangements, each non-management director receives an annual grant of a number of RSUs determined by dividing $130,000 by the closing price of PGE's common stock on the grant date, rounding to the nearest whole share. Each award is fully vested when granted. Directors who join the Board during the year are awarded a pro rata portion of the annual award, based on the number of calendar months during which the director served on the Board that year.
Director Deferred Compensation Plan
Non-management directors first appointed or elected to the Board before April 23, 2019 are eligible to participate in our 2006 Outside Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan. The plan allows participants to defer the payment of Board retainers as well as any other form of cash compensation they may receive from PGE. Deferral elections must be made no later than December 15 of the taxable year preceding the year in which the compensation is earned. Deferrals accumulate in an account that earns interest at a rate that is one-half a percentage point higher than the annual yield on Moody’s Average Corporate Bond Index. Directors may elect to receive payments, which commence 65 days after the end of the month in which the participant separates from board service, under the plan in a lump sum or in monthly installments for a period of up to 180 months. Death benefits, which consists of the balance of the participant’s account including interest, are payable to the beneficiary commencing 65 days after the end of the month in which the participant dies in the same form as elected for payments at separation from service. These benefits are unfunded and depend on the continued solvency of PGE. The following directors/retired directors participate in our 2006 Outside Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan: Rodney Brown, Jack Davis, Kirby Dyess, and Michael Millegan.
Determination of Director Compensation
The compensation of our non-management directors is determined by the Board of Directors upon a recommendation from the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee. The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee makes its recommendation after receiving input from its independent compensation consultant and management. The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee retained FW Cook to evaluate and make recommendations regarding director compensation for 2022. FW Cook's evaluation included identifying industry trends and market data for directors' compensation, reviewing and identifying peer group companies, and evaluating director compensation data for these companies. Management's input focuses on compliance, legal and administrative matters.
In October 2021, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee recommended and the Board agreed to adjustments to non-management director compensation to bring them into reasonable alignment with the market and to increase service vesting requirements. In July 2022, based on recommendations from FW Cook, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee recommended and the Board agreed to increase the annual cash retainer for the Audit and Risk Committee Chair to acknowledge additional workload in that area.

SETTING EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Role of the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee. The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee, consisting entirely of independent directors, establishes our compensation philosophy and practices and develops, reviews and approves the compensation of the Company’s executive officers.
The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee’s executive compensation determinations are the result of the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee’s business judgment, which is informed by the experience of its members and input provided by its independent compensation consultant, our CEO (other than with respect to her own compensation), other members of management, and shareholders.
Each year, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee conducts an evaluation of the Company's executive compensation program to determine any appropriate changes. In making this determination, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee may consult with its independent compensation consultant and management, as described below; however, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee makes final decisions regarding the compensation paid to our named executive officers based on its own judgment.
In determining whether to make changes to our executive compensation program, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee may consider a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the size, scope, and performance of our business, evolving compensation trends, financial goals, shareholders’ interests and peer comparisons as described below.

Key Actions of Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee | Annual review of executive officers' performance
Establishes base salaries, annual cash awards and equity awards for all executive officers other than the CEO, unless approved by the independent directors acting as a committee
Recommends base salary, annual cash awards and equity awards for the CEO

Key Actions of Independent Directors | Annual review of CEO performance
Considers recommendations of the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee and approves base salary, annual cash awards and equity awards for the CEO

The Role of the Compensation Consultant. The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee selects and retains the services of its own independent compensation consultant and annually reviews the performance of the consultant. As part of the review process, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee considers the independence of the consultant in accordance with SEC and NYSE rules.
During 2022, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee’s independent compensation consultant, FW Cook, provided no services to the Company other than services for the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee, and worked with Company’s management, as directed by the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee, only on matters for which the committee is responsible.
At the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee’s request, FW Cook regularly attends committee meetings. FW Cook also communicates with the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee or the Chair of the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee outside committee meetings regarding matters related to the committee’s responsibilities. FW Cook prepares a comprehensive compensation risk assessment study to evaluate whether the Company's compensation programs are likely to create a material risk for the Company.
In 2022, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee generally sought input from FW Cook on a range of external market factors related to the Company's compensation programs, CEO pay, environmental, social, and governance performance metrics and other evolving compensation trends, including legislative developments and best practices, appropriate market reference points, and market compensation data. FW Cook reported on and provided market

47 | Portland General Electric | 2023 Proxy Statement

Compensation Discussion and Analysis | Table of Contents

compensation data and trends regarding director compensation programs and general observations about management’s recommendations regarding the amount and form of compensation for our named executive officers.

Key Actions of Independent Consultant | Advises the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee on compensation plan design
Advises the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee on appropriate compensation levels, trends and legislative developments
Performs annual compensation risk assessment for consideration by the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee

In addition, management has engaged its own compensation consultant, Willis Towers Watson, to assist with a variety of design compensation matters, including compensation benchmarking and the development of recommendations on compensation program design.
The Role of the Chief Executive Officer. At the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee's request, Ms. Pope provides input regarding the performance and compensation of the other named executive officers. The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee considers Ms. Pope’s evaluation and her direct knowledge of each named executive officer’s performance and contributions when making compensation decisions. Ms. Pope is not present during the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee's voting or deliberations regarding her own compensation.

Key actions of CEO | Provides input on executive officers' performance
Makes recommendations on compensation plan design
Provides information about Company's performance relative to incentive plan goals

The Role of Shareholders. Shareholders are provided the opportunity to cast an annual advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers and have indicated their strong support for the compensation of our named executive officers in each of the past five years. Most recently, 98% of votes cast on the say-on-pay proposal at the 2022 annual meeting voted in favor of our executive compensation program. We have ongoing discussions with many of our shareholders regarding various corporate governance topics, including environmental, social, and governance, executive compensation, and related trends. In addition, in 2022, we conducted a proactive outreach program with the governance teams of our largest shareholders. The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee considers these discussions while reviewing our executive compensation program and will continue to consider shareholder feedback and the results of say-on-pay votes when making future compensation decisions.
The Role of Market Data and Peer Companies. The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee considers compensation market comparisons to ensure the competitiveness of the Company's executives’ pay. The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee views the labor market for our most senior positions as a nationwide, broad cross-section of companies in various industries, and recognizes that this labor market varies by position. The use of both general industry and utility benchmarking data reflects the competitive labor market from which we recruit executives. For the 2022 executive compensation program, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee evaluated pay by reference to the 50th percentile of the relevant market, reviewing data in total and by comparison (base salaries, incentive awards and equity awards). Positions relative to the 50th percentile may vary based on factors such as time in position, experience, qualifications, performance, and considerations of internal equity.
Actual compensation for named executives may be higher or lower than target compensation, as it reflects actual performance and payouts under our performance-based annual incentive award and our long-term equity based incentive awards.
When benchmarking executive pay, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee relies on benchmarking surveys, as well as publicly available information regarding the pay practices of a group of utility industry peer companies

48 | Portland General Electric | 2023 Proxy Statement

Compensation Discussion and Analysis | Table of Contents

selected by our Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee each year. We use general industry survey data as appropriate to reflect the realities of the competitive marketplace for the Company’s talent needs. The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee reviews and approves peer group composition each year. With the assistance of FW Cook, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee identified groups of companies to serve as market reference points for compensation comparison purposes for 2022. The table below shows the most relevant benchmarking survey data for each of our named executive officers:

Named Executive Officer | Title | Utility Industry(1) | General Industry(1)
Maria Pope | President & CEO | ✓ |
James Ajello | SVP, Finance, CFO, Treasurer & Corporate Compliance Officer | ✓ | ✓
Angelica Espinosa | VP, General Counsel | ✓ | ✓
Larry Bekkedahl | SVP, Advanced Energy Delivery | ✓ |
John Kochavatr | VP, Information Technology & Chief Information Officer |  | ✓

(1) Data sources included WTW 2021 Energy Services Executive Compensation Survey – U.S.

Our Practice | Beginning in 2022, in keeping with our guiding principles of reasonable competitive pay, with the assistance of FW Cook, salaries for certain positions including named executive officers in the chief financial officer and chief legal officer positions were benchmarked at a market reference point that weights equally the Utility Industry and General Industry benchmarking survey data.

A peer group for 2022 compensation decisions was developed for reference consisting of companies that represent the best match with the Company based on the following criteria:
•Vertically Integrated Utility. Our peer companies should be vertically integrated utilities, with a business mix focused on either regulated electric operations or a balance of regulated electric and regulated gas operations.
•Minimal Non-Regulated Business Activities. Non-regulated businesses should not be key drivers of the financial performance and strategy of our peer companies.
•Comparable Size. Our peer companies should be within a reasonable range relative to key financial measures, including revenue, market capitalization, and enterprise value.
•Investment-Grade Credit Ratings. Our peer companies should have credit ratings that allow for financing at a reasonable cost in most market environments.
•Balanced Customer Mix. Our peer companies should have a balanced retail, commercial and industrial mix and service territories not overly reliant on one key customer or industry sector.
•Regulatory Environment. Our peer companies should have a comparable cost of service ratemaking process and allowed return on equity, as well as a history of allowed recovery on regulatory assets, fuel and power costs and prudently incurred deferred costs.
•Capital Structure. Our peer companies should demonstrate moderate leverage (generally less than 60% debt to total capitalization ratio) and no significant liquidity concerns.
•Growth Opportunities. The growth opportunities of our peer companies should be based primarily on regulated activities.

In the case of Northwest Natural Gas Company, we also considered geographic proximity, to the extent it could result in the Company’s serving as a potential competitor for executive talent.
For 2022 the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee selected the following companies to serve as our compensation peer group:

| 2022 Peer Group |
| ALLETE, INC. |  |  | Black Hills Corporation |  |  | NiSource, Inc. |  |  | Pinnacle West Capital Corporation |
| Alliant Energy Corporation |  |  | Evergy, Inc. |  |  | Northwest Natural Gas Company |  |  | PNM Resources, Inc. |
| Avista Corporation |  |  | Hawaiian Electric |  |  | NorthWestern Corporation |  |  | Puget Energy, Inc. |
|  |  |  | IDACORP, Inc. |  |  | OGE Energy Corp. |  |  |  |

Based on data compiled by Willis Towers Watson at the time of our 2022 peer group review, PGE was positioned near the median of the peer group in terms of revenue and market capitalization:
PGE VS. 2022 PEER GROUP

Revenue |  |  |  |  |  | PGE 50th Percentile
0 | 25 |  | 50 | 75 | 100
Market Capitalization |  |  |  |  |  | PGE 51st Percentile
0 | 25 |  | 50 | 75 | 100

The Role of Internal Equity. The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee uses internal pay equity principles to determine the compensation for positions that are unique or difficult to benchmark against market and peer data. Internal equity is also considered in establishing compensation for positions considered to be equivalent in responsibilities and importance, especially where precise external data is not available.

Base Salaries
When setting annual base salaries of our named executive officers, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee considers market data provided by its independent compensation consultant, internal pay equity, the Company's financial results and size relative to peer companies.
The independent members of our Board approved our CEO’s 2022 base salary after receiving a recommendation from the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee. This determination was based on a comprehensive review of Ms. Pope's performance for 2021.
The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee considered the recommendations of our CEO and market data before setting the 2022 salaries of our other named executive officers. Base salary recommendations are based on a variety of considerations, including market competitiveness, individual performance and qualifications, internal pay equity and retention risk.
The table below shows the base salaries of our named executive officers for 2021 and 2022.

Annual Cash Incentive Awards
OVERVIEW
Our Annual Cash Incentive Plan (ACI Plan) is a variable, at-risk component of our named executive officer's compensation and is aligned with the Company's financial, operational and strategic imperative goals, as established each year by the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee.
The annual cash incentive program provides payout opportunities based on the achievement of predetermined financial, operating and strategic goals that require our named executive officers to meet high standards of performance.
For 2022, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee selected key quantitative financial and operating performance metrics as part of the 2022 ACI Plan: EPS, Customer Satisfaction, Electric Service Power Quality and System Reliability, and Generation Plant Availability. In addition, the Compensation Culture and Talent Committee selected three equally weighted strategic imperative goals: Increase Operational Efficiency; Deliver Clean, Integrated Customer Solutions; and Public Support and Policy. The Compensation Culture and Talent Committee included two Culture goals:

52 | Portland General Electric | 2023 Proxy Statement

Compensation Discussion and Analysis | Table of Contents

Employee Engagement and Diversity, which was divided into Leadership Diversity and Supplier Diversity. For each category the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee assigned a target score and potential score range reflecting the relative weight given the goal category. Specific quantitative scores were set for goals that comprised most of the target score.
The formula for calculating awards under our 2022 ACI Program is shown below:

AWARD EARNED | = | TARGET AWARD | X |  | FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE % X 40% | + | OPERATING PERFORMANCE % X 25% | + | STRATEGIC IMPERATIVE PERFORMANCE % X 25% | + | CULTURE X 10% |

Under the formula above, award payouts are determined by multiplying each officer’s target award by a “performance percentage” based on the achievement of financial, operating, strategic imperative and culture goals during the year.
Unless the threshold goal is achieved for a performance measure, there is no payout for that performance measure. The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee may, in its judgment, exclude the impact of unusual, non-recurring events that occur during the year. When setting the goals for 2022, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee considered many factors, including the alignment between appropriate payout opportunities and strong financial results at threshold, target, and maximum performance goal levels.
Each of the performance percentages can range from 0% to 200%, with financial performance weighted 40%, operating performance weighted 25%, strategic initiatives weighted 25% and culture weighted 10%. This results in a maximum ACI award opportunity equal to 200% of the target award.
Vesting of an award generally requires continued employment until the date that payment is made under the award, but if an officer’s employment is terminated before that date due to retirement, death, or disability, the officer is entitled to a portion of the award, prorated based on the number of days served during the award year.

| Looking Forward. à à à à à à à à In 2023, we will be replacing EPS with Net Income as the primary measure of our financial performance in our Annual Cash Incentive Plan. EPS growth will continue to be measured for our Long Term Incentive Plan. The use of Net Income is consistent with our peers, and maintains the focus on current year financial goals for the broader employee base. |

2022 ACI Program Target Awards
Target awards for the named executive officers were established by multiplying their base salary paid in 2022 by an award multiple established by the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee. The target awards of each of our named executive officers were close to the market median for their positions. (See page 48 for a discussion of how we evaluated the market-competitiveness of our executives’ compensation.)

2022 ACI Program Rationale for Selection of Performance Metrics

|  | Metric |  | Measurement | Why We Use this Metric
Financial |  | EPS |  | Measured by the Company’s net income for the year divided by average shares outstanding during the year. | EPS is a driver of shareholder value creation in the regulated utility industry.
Operating |  | Customer Satisfaction |  | Average of the Company’s residential, general business and key customer satisfaction scores on three independent utility industry surveys, where satisfaction is defined as a rating of 9 or higher on a 10-point scale. These ratings are weighted according to the Company’s annual revenues from each customer group. Customer satisfaction goals are updated annually based on estimated ratings needed to achieve 50th, 65th and 90th percentile rankings of the surveyed companies. | Customer satisfaction is a measure of our ability to run our business in a way that meets the needs of our customers.
| Electric Service Power Quality and System Reliability |  | SAIDI (a standard industry measure for outage duration), which is equal to the total number of minutes an average customer experiences service interruption during the year. | Delivering reliable electric service is our Company’s core business. Outage duration is a fundamental measure of service reliability that our customers care about.
| Generation Plant Availability |  | Amount of time that a generating plant is able to produce electricity during the year (determined by subtracting from total hours in the period all maintenance outage hours, planned outage hours and forced outage hours), divided by the number of hours in the year. To set the maximum, target and threshold performance levels for this goal, we established individual plant goals, which were then weighted to produce overall performance targets. | Our ability to achieve our financial objectives and serve our customers depends in part on our generation plants’ delivery of reliable and affordable power.

Culture |  | Employee Engagement |  | Measured by the results from the following two questions in the employee satisfaction survey: •How happy are you working at PGE? •I would recommend PGE as a great place to work | PGE is focused on ensuring employees are engaged in a meaningful way in order to achieve our goals and deliver results.
| Leadership Diversity |  | Measured by the total percent of leaders who identify as female and the percent of leaders who identify as black, indigenous and people of color | PGE values gender, racial and ethnic diversity and believes a diverse employee population will achieve better performance. DEI is part of the fabric of how we operate and serve our communities.
| Supplier Diversity |  | Measured by the total percentage of spend with diverse suppliers over total addressable procurement spend | PGE is committed to increased external outreach as part of our belief in diversity.

1.Based on a qualitative assessment of progress on the specific projects identified for each Strategic Initiative. Performance results for each project were rated by the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee on a 0 to 4 scale. These results were averaged, with each project weighted equally, to yield an overall score between 0 and 4 for each Strategic Initiative. Scores for the Strategic Initiatives were then averaged to yield an overall performance percentage for the Strategic Initiatives. A minimum rating of “1” was required to earn a 50% payout and a score of “4” would have yielded a payout of 200%.
In light of these performance results, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee approved payouts for named executive officer ACI Program participants that were 87% of their target awards.
The table below shows the ACI award payouts for our 2022 named executive officers.

Our Practice | Beginning in 2022, a culture metric based on our Guiding Behaviors was incorporated into our annual cash incentive plan. This change was intended to further motivate our executive team to meet high standards driven by our values in addition to strong financial, operations and strategic goals. The metric focuses on workforce engagement and diversity.

Long-Term Incentive Awards
OVERVIEW
We grant equity-based long-term incentive (LTI) awards to our executives and other key employees pursuant to our Stock Incentive Plan. The equity component of our named executive officers' compensation emphasizes long-term shareholder value creation through performance-based restricted stock unit (PSU) and time-based restricted stock unit (RSU) awards.
PSU awards are a substantial, at-risk component of our named executive officers' compensation tied to the Company's long-term performance. RSU awards align the interests of executive officers with the interests of our shareholders by promoting stability and retention of a high-performing executive team over the long term.
In 2022 we allocated 70% of our officers’ total LTI award opportunities to PSU and 30% to RSU.

Our 2022 LTI Award program is consistent with our compensation guiding principles | Compensation Guiding Principle | PSUs | RSUs
Retention | ✓ | ✓
Incentives to achieve specific Company objectives | ✓ |
Alignment with shareholders | ✓ | ✓
Market-competitive pay | ✓ | ✓

CALCULATION OF TOTAL LTI AWARD OPPORTUNITY
The aggregate number of PSUs and RSUs we granted to our named executive officers was the product of their 2022 base salary and an award multiple, divided by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date:

| # of PSUs and RSUs Granted | = | 2022 Base Salary X Award Multiple / Grant Date Closing Common Stock Price |

The table below shows the award multiples we used to calculate the awards for the named executive officers and the estimated value of the awards.

Name | Award Multiple | Target RSU Value* ($) | Target PSU Value* ($) | Total Target LTI Value* ($)
Maria Pope | 3.75 | 1,125,000 |  | 2,625,000 |  | 3,750,000 |
James Ajello | 1.50 | 292,545 |  | 682,605 |  | 975,150 |
Angelica Espinosa | 1.00 | 127,470 |  | 297,430 |  | 424,900 |
Larry Bekkedahl | 1.20 | 162,043 |  | 378,102 |  | 540,145 |
John Kochavatr | 1.00 | 129,000 |  | 301,000 |  | 430,000 |

* Assumes that the Company will perform at target levels over the PSU performance period. Values are based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. See “Grants of Plan-Based Awards” on page 72 for additional details.

2022 PSU Awards
Our 2022 PSU Award Program incorporates the following financial, strategic and market-based performance measures.
RATIONALE FOR LTI AWARDS DESIGN

Metric | Measurement | Why We Use this Metric |
Return on Equity | The average of each of three consecutive years’ Accounting ROE as a percentage of Allowed ROE. •“Accounting ROE” is defined as annual net income, as shown on the Company’s income statement, divided by the average of the current and prior year’s shareholders’ equity, as shown on the balance sheet. •“Allowed ROE” is the return on equity that the OPUC permits the Company to include in the rates it charges its customers. | Reflects how successful the Company is at generating a return on shareholders' investment. Because the Company’s return on its investment can fluctuate based on OPUC rate case orders, we believe the appropriate measure of our ability to generate earnings on shareholder investments is Accounting ROE as a percentage of Allowed ROE, consistent with SEC reporting. |
EPS Growth | 3-year average of the Company’s EPS growth rate, where EPS growth for a given fiscal year is defined as the percentage change in EPS over the previous fiscal year. | Provides a direct measure of the rate at which the Company has increased its profitability. EPS is a driver of shareholder value creation. |
Clean Energy | Average megawatts of forecasted energy from carbon-free resources, Oregon Renewable Portfolios Standard-qualifying resources, and low-carbon emitting (i.e., > 95% carbon-free) systems of resources added to the Company’s energy supply portfolio during the performance period. | Creates incentive to reduce carbon potential in the Company’s energy supply portfolio in support of Oregon’s greenhouse gas emission reduction goals. |
Relative TSR | TSR over the 3-year performance period relative to the TSR achieved by a comparison group of companies over the same period. •The comparison group consists of peer companies approved by the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee (ALLETE, Alliant Energy, Avista, Black Hills, Evergy, Hawaiian Electric, IDACORP, NorthWestern, OGE Energy, Otter Tail, Pinnacle West Capital and PNM Resources) on December 31, 2022, excluding those that have completed or announced a merger, acquisition, business combination, “going private” transaction or liquidation. Companies that are in bankruptcy will be assigned a negative one TSR. •TSR measures the change in a Company’s stock price for a given period, plus its dividends (or other earnings paid to investors) over the same period, as a percentage of the stock price at the beginning of the period. •To calculate the value of stock at the beginning and end of the period, we use the average daily closing price for the 20-trading day period ending on the measurement date. •Relative TSR is determined by ranking PGE and the comparison group companies from highest to lowest according to TSR. The percentile performance of PGE relative to the comparison group companies is determined based on this ranking. | TSR is used as a modifier and is a direct measure of value creation for shareholders. Use of relative rather than absolute TSR helps ensure that payouts reflect the Company’s relative performance rather than general market conditions. |

2022 PSU AWARD METRICS AND PAYOUT CALCULATION
In the first quarter of 2025, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee will determine the performance results for the 2022 PSU awards in accordance with the metrics and formula described in the table below, subject to any adjustments approved by the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee pursuant to its authority under the Stock Incentive Plan.

Payout Metric(1) | Threshold (50% Payout) | Target (100% Payout) | Maximum (167% Payout) | Metric Weighting | Percentage of Target Shares Earned
Return on Equity | 75% of Allowed ROE | 90% of Allowed ROE | 100% of Allowed ROE | 33% | 0% to 55.67%
EPS Growth | 3.0% | 4.0% | 5.0% | 33% | 0% to 55.67%
Clean Energy | 125 (MWa) | 210 (MWa) | 250 (MWa) | 33% | 0% to 55.67%
Payout % Subtotal | 0% to 167%
Payout Multiplier Metric(2) | (80% multiplier) | (100% multiplier) | (120% multiplier) |  |
Relative TSR | < 25th Percentile of Peer Companies | 50th Percentile of Peer Companies | > 75th Percentile of Peer Companies | Payout Multiplier | 80% to 120%
Total Percentage of Target PSU Award Earned | 0 to 200%

1.Calculation of Payout Percentage Subtotal. At the end of the performance period, performance results are interpolated between threshold, target and maximum payout levels to determine payout percentages for each goal based on the schedule above. Results below threshold for any goal result in zero payouts for that goal. These results are weighted equally and added to determine a payout percentage subtotal.
2.Application of Payout Multiplier Based on Relative TSR Results: Performance results for Relative TSR are interpolated between threshold, target and maximum levels to determine a multiplier between 80% and 120%, which is applied to the payout percentage subtotal to determine a total percentage of the target award earned. For our 2022 PSU awards, the peer group for 2022 compensation decisions was utilized as the comparator group for the Relative TSR metric.
2022 RSU Awards
Each of our executive officers was awarded RSUs representing 30% of their total LTI award opportunity. Each year one-third of the RSUs granted will vest, and vesting requires that the award recipient be employed by the Company at the vesting date. However, if the officer’s employment is terminated due to retirement (which requires five years of service with the Company or an affiliate and a minimum age of 55), death, or disability before the normal vesting date, a pro rata portion of the RSUs will vest. RSUs granted in 2022 also vest in accordance with the Rule of 75, which is described below. See the discussion of the RSUs on page 77 in the section below entitled “Potential Payments and Rights on Termination and Change in Control Benefits.”
OTHER TERMS OF THE PSU AND RSU AWARDS
Dividend Equivalent Rights. Under the 2022 PSU and RSU Awards, each named executive officer will receive a number of dividend equivalent rights (DERs) equal to the number of vested PSUs and/or RSUs. A DER represents the right to receive an amount equal to dividends paid on the number of shares of common stock equal to the number of the vested PSUs and/or RSUs, which dividends have a record date between the date of the grant and the end of the performance period. DERs are subject to the same vesting conditions as the PSUs or RSUs and will be settled in shares of common stock after the related PSUs and/or RSUs vest. The number of shares payable on the DERs will be calculated using the fair market value of PGE common stock as of the date the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee determines the number of vested PSUs and/or RSUs.

61 | Portland General Electric | 2023 Proxy Statement

Compensation Discussion and Analysis | Table of Contents

Service Requirement. Under our PSU and RSU awards, vesting of the PSUs and/or RSUs and their related DERs generally requires that the award recipient continue to be employed by the Company during the performance period. However, if the officer’s employment concludes due to retirement, death, or disability before the end of the three-year performance period, a ratable portion of the award will vest at the end of the performance period based on actual performance. See the discussion on page 74 in the section below entitled “Potential Payments and Rights on Termination and Change in Control Benefits.” Beginning with PSU and RSU awards issued in 2020, recipients who satisfy the “Rule of 75” are eligible for vesting of (i) their outstanding PSU awards based on performance results, and/or (ii) their outstanding RSU without regard to their termination before the end of the performance period or prior to the applicable vesting date. An individual satisfies the Rule of 75 if, on the date of his or her termination of employment, (i) the individual is at least age 55 and has no less than five years of service with the Company or its affiliates, and (ii) the individual’s age plus years of service equals at least 75. However, the aforementioned service requirement combination of age plus years of service allowing full or pro rata payout of RSUs and/or PSUs will be deemed met for each RSU and/or PSU award made or held by Mr. Ajello, and he will be eligible for payout of RSUs and/or PSUs in the event his employment is concluded prior to normal vesting date.
2020- 2022 PSU Award Payout
In 2020, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee decided to exclude the impact of unrecovered expenses related to the COVID-19 pandemic on our financial results (an impact of $0.16 earnings per share) in determining payout under the 2020 ACI Program and the 2018-2020 PSU awards. To maintain consistency in multi-year awards and to avoid a disproportionate increase of the EPS growth metric between years 2020 and 2021, for 2021 the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee exercised its discretion and decided to exclude the same level of impact for unrecovered expenses in determining the payout for the 2019-2021 PSU awards, as the adjustment applies to 2020 EPS growth and ROE metrics. As a result of this application, there was an adjustment to the 2019-2021 PSU award; both ROE and EPS were adjusted upward. ROE was adjusted upward from 82.42% to 84.28% and the 2020 EPS growth metric was adjusted upward, which resulted in a decreased average EPS growth metric result for the 3-year period. The EPS adjustment had no effect on the payout result, as maximum payout had been reached under the program with or without the adjustment. Accordingly, the 2020-2022 PSU award payouts, when calculating performance relative to our ROE and EPS growth goals, resulted in a payout under the PSU awards granted to our executive officers in 2022 that was 111% of target, based on the following performance results, as adjusted:

Metric | Threshold (50% Payout) | Target (100% Payout) | Maximum (167% Payout) | Metric Weight | Actual* | Percentage of Target Award Earned
Return on Equity | 75% of Allowed ROE | 90% of Allowed ROE | 100% of Allowed ROE | 33% | 84.63% | 27.37%
EPS Growth** | 4.0% over prior year | 5.0% over prior year | 6.0% over prior year | 33% | 6.31% | 55.67%
Clean Energy | 70 (MWa) | 120 (MWa) | 145 (MWa) | 33% | 262 | 55.67%
|  | Payout % Subtotal: | 138.70%
Payout Multiplier Metric | (80% multiplier) | (100% multiplier) | (120% multiplier) |  |  |
Relative TSR | < 25th Percentile of EEI Regulated Index | 50th Percentile of EEI Regulated Index | > 75th Percentile of EEI Regulated Index | Payout Multiplier | 17th Percentile | 80.00%
|  | Total Percentage of Target PSU Award Earned | 110.96%

BENEFITS PLANS
Our named executive officers also participate in certain benefit plans including: (1) health and welfare benefits and (2) retirement and savings benefits.
Health and Welfare Benefits
•Medical/Dental/Vision. Our executives are eligible to participate in our broad-based medical, dental and vision insurance programs. Non-union medical insurance is limited to high deductible health plans. For employees enrolled in our high deductible health plans, the Company also makes annual contributions to a health savings account.
•Wellness Program. All employees are eligible to participate in the Company’s wellness program, which offers a variety of benefits, including mental health benefits, financial counseling and the opportunity to earn Company health savings account contributions.
Retirement and Savings Benefits
•401(k) Plan. All of our employees are eligible to participate in the Company’s 401(k) Plan.
•Pension Plan. One named executive officer (Ms. Pope) participates in the Portland General Electric Company Pension Plan (Pension Plan). The plan was closed to new participants before our other named executive officers joined the Company. See page 75 of this Proxy Statement for a description of the basic benefit available to non-union employees under the plan.
•Deferred Compensation Benefits. Executives and other key employees are eligible to participate in our 2005 Management Deferred Compensation Plan, which permits participants to defer the payment of income as well as the value of a certain number of hours of paid time off, depending on the participant's paid time off program, but in no event does it exceed 160 hours of paid time off. Participants also earn interest on their account balances. See page 76 for details.
Severance and Change in Control Benefits
Rationale for Providing Severance Pay Benefits. In 2021, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee approved the Company’s Amended and Restated Executive Severance Plan, effective July 27, 2021 (the “Severance Plan”) after reviewing information provided by the independent compensation consultant to better align the Company’s severance practice with current industry practice, including increasing the severance payments and benefits payable to eligible officers upon a qualifying termination. The Severance Plan superseded the prior Severance Pay Plan for Executive Employees.
Our policy regarding severance protection for named executive officers stems from its importance in retaining and recruiting executives and mitigating legal issues upon an employment separation. Executives have attractive opportunities with other companies or are recruited from well-compensated positions in other companies. To provide our officers with financial security to offset the risk of leaving another company, if the employment of an eligible officer with the Company is involuntarily terminated without cause or due to a constructive termination (or a resignation for “good reason,”) in either case absent a change in control, the Severance Plan provides for the following severance payments and benefits:
•1.5 times the annual base salary for our CEO and 1.0 times the annual base salary for non-CEO executives;
•a pro-rata portion of annual cash incentive award based on target performance and the period of the award year served; and
•a lump sum equal to 18 months of continuation coverage under COBRA for our CEO and 12 months for all other eligible officers.

64 | Portland General Electric | 2023 Proxy Statement

Compensation Discussion and Analysis | Table of Contents

For purposes of the Severance Plan, a constructive termination (or a resignation for “good reason”) includes occurrences such as a material diminution in duties or salary, or a substantial relocation. Given that none of the named executive officers has an employment agreement that provides for fixed positions or duties, or for a fixed base salary or annual incentive award, we believe a constructive termination severance trigger is needed to continue to retain and attract executives. We do not provide excise tax gross-ups on change-in-control severance benefits for any of our executives. We do not believe named executive officers should be entitled to receive their cash severance benefits merely because a change-in-control transaction occurs. Therefore, the payment of cash severance benefits is subject to a double-trigger where an actual or constructive termination of employment must also occur before payment. Severance is always subject to the execution of a release of claims and adherence to non-competition and non-solicitation covenants.
Our Severance Plan also offers additional enhanced benefits if a change in control of the Company occurs and an eligible officer experiences a qualifying termination within 24 months following the change in control event. We believe the occurrence, or expected occurrence, of a change-in-control transaction would create uncertainty regarding continued employment for named executive officers. This uncertainty would result from the fact that many change-in-control transactions result in significant organizational changes, particularly at the senior executive level. To encourage the named executive officers to remain employed with the Company during a time when their prospects for continued employment following the change in control would be uncertain, and to permit them to remain focused on the Company’s interests, if the employment of an eligible officer with the Company is involuntarily terminated without cause by the Company or due to a constructive termination (or a resignation for “good reason”) in either case within a defined period of time after a change in control of the Company, the Severance Plan provides for the following severance payments and benefits:
•2.5 times the sum of annual base salary plus the target value of the executive’s annual cash incentive award for our CEO, 2.0 times for senior officers and 1.5 times for all other eligible officers;
•a pro-rata portion of annual cash incentive award based on target performance and the period of the award year served; and
•a lump sum equal to 30 months of continuation coverage under COBRA for our CEO, 24 months of continuation coverage under COBRA for our senior officers and 18 months for all other eligible officers.
For detailed information on the estimated potential payments and benefits payable to our named executive officers if they terminate employment, including following a change in control of the Company, see “Potential Payments and Rights on Termination and Change in Control Benefits” on page 77.
Off-Cycle Compensation
On July 29, 2020, the independent directors, acting as a committee, granted Mr. Kochavatr an award of performance-based restricted stock units in recognition of the expansion of his role to include responsibility for the Company's Simplification and Transformation Initiative, which aims to reshape operational processes and customer digital experiences through the rationalization of groups and systems to drive customer value. The award had a grant-date value of $100,000 and vesting over a two-year period. At the conclusion of each performance period ending on July 30, 2021 and July 29, 2022, half of the restricted stock units awarded were to vest, provided the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee determines that the Company has made satisfactory progress toward the performance goals. The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee concluded that there was substantial progress on the Simplification and Transformation Initiative as measured by the reduction of customer minutes interrupted, cost reductions through operational efficiencies, and the introduction of new customer features and digital experiences, and therefore 90% of the restricted stock units vested as scheduled.
On April 22, 2022, the independent directors, acting as a committee, granted Mr. Kochavatr an award of time-based restricted stock units in recognition of further expansion of his role's responsibility to include oversight of the organization's Customer group. The award had a grant date value of $100,000 and vested on December 31, 2022.
On February 11, 2022, the independent directors, acting as a committee, granted Ms. Espinosa an award of time-based restricted stock units in recognition of her promotion to General Counsel. The award had a grant date value of $200,000 and will vest on February 14, 2024.

OTHER COMPENSATION POLICIES AND PRACTICES
Risk Management
The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee seeks to mitigate risk in our executive programs through the following policies and practices.
Our 2022 LTI plan includes the following risk mitigation features:
•Using multiple types of awards and performance measures, consisting of a market-based performance measure (relative total shareholder return), a financial performance measure (EPS growth), and a service-based measure (time-based restricted stock units)
•Measuring our total shareholder return against peer groups approved by the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee
•Using multi-year performance periods to promote a longer-term performance horizon
•Limiting the maximum payout level for performance-based restricted stock unit awards to 200% of the target number of units (including reinvested dividend equivalents)
Our 2022 ACI Plan includes the following risk mitigation features:
•Limiting the payout at the maximum performance level to 200% of target
•Using a corporate financial performance measure that is based on the earnings reported in our financial statements, with certain adjustments that are limited and predefined and the potential for others related to unplanned or unforeseen items, all of which are made only after thoughtful consideration by the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee
•Incorporating Operational and Strategic Metrics, which are performance measures important to our business operations, in addition to the corporate financial performance measure
•Providing the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee with negative discretion over certain incentive plan payouts
Annual Independent Compensation Risk Assessment
In 2022, as in prior years, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee engaged FW Cook to perform a comprehensive risk assessment of our compensation policies and practices. The assessment covered executive and non-executive plan design and oversight as well as other aspects of our compensation practices, as summarized below:

Equity Award Program | Cash Incentive Programs | Other Compensation Practices
•Equity grants •Payment timing and adjustments •Grant policies •Stock ownership guidelines and trading policies | •Pay mix •Performance metrics •Performance goals and payout curves •Payment timing and adjustments | •Incentive mix •Succession planning •Severance •Role of the Board of Directors

66 | Portland General Electric | 2023 Proxy Statement

Compensation Discussion and Analysis | Table of Contents

The finding of the report was that our programs do not encourage excessive risk taking and are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. The report noted the following risk-mitigating features of our program, among others:
•Independent Board Oversight. The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee oversees incentive pay programs at all levels of the organization. The CEO’s pay is set by all of the independent directors, acting as a group.
•Balanced Pay Elements. Our compensation program includes an appropriate balance in fixed and performance-conditioned pay, cash and equity, formulas and discretion, and short-term and long-term measurement periods.
•Robust Governance Policies. Policies are in place to mitigate compensation risk such as stock ownership guidelines, insider-trading prohibitions, and compensation clawbacks.
•Incentive Mix. Incentive awards cover multiple overlapping time frames, ranging from one-to-three years, dampening the impact of stock price and financial performance volatility in rewards. Multiple financial goals prevent an over-emphasis on any single metric.
•Risk-Adjusted Incentive Targets. Incentive award targets encourage improvements but not at levels that would encourage imprudent risk-taking.
Anti-Hedging and Pledging Policy
Under our Insider Trading Policy, all of our officers, employees and directors are prohibited from trading in options, warrants, puts and calls, or similar instruments on Company securities, or selling Company securities “short.” In addition, employees and directors may not purchase any financial instrument, or enter into any transaction, that is designed to hedge or offset a decrease in the market value of Company stock (including prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars or exchange funds). Directors, officers and employees are also prohibited from purchasing Company securities on margin or pledging or otherwise encumbering Company securities. These prohibitions apply to family members living in the same household as such officer, employee or director, as well as entities directly or indirectly controlled by the officer, employee or director.
Stock Ownership Policy
The Company has adopted a stock ownership and holding policy for our executive officers. The primary objectives of the policy are to create financial incentives that align the interests of executive officers with strong operating and financial performance of the Company and encourage executive officers to operate the business of the Company with a long-term perspective. The guidelines set minimum levels of stock ownership for our officers to achieve and maintain. For executive officers, the guidelines are:

Executive Level | Stock Ownership Guidelines
Chief Executive Officer | 6x base salary
Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice Presidents | 3x base salary
Vice Presidents | 2x base salary

Based on FW Cook's review of competitive benchmark data, we believe our stock ownership guidelines are aligned to prevalent market practices.
The policy does not require executive officers to immediately acquire shares in an amount sufficient to meet the holding requirement. However, until the holding requirement is met, executive officers are subject to certain restrictions on their ability to dispose of shares of Company stock. The CEO is required to retain 100% of her shares acquired prior to February 2011. All executive officers are required to retain an amount of shares equal to 50% of their net after-tax performance-based equity awards until the holding requirement is met. The number of shares required to satisfy the

67 | Portland General Electric | 2023 Proxy Statement

Compensation Discussion and Analysis | Table of Contents

stock ownership requirements is re-calculated annually, based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the calculation.
The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee also reviews each officer’s holdings annually to ensure that appropriate progress toward the ownership goal is being made. All of our officers either meet the stock ownership requirement or are on track to do so as required under the policy. Our stock ownership policy for non-employee directors is described on page 27of this Proxy Statement.
Equity Grant Practices
Under the terms of our Stock Incentive Plan, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee is authorized to make grants of equity awards but may delegate this authority as it deems appropriate. The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee has delegated authority to our CEO to make annual discretionary grants of RSUs with performance-based or time-based vesting conditions to non-executive employees for the purposes of attracting and retaining qualified employees. For 2022, the maximum RSU value that the CEO was authorized to award was $1,000,000 in the aggregate and $100,000 per award. The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee has not delegated the authority to make awards to executive officers.
The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee expects to continue to grant equity awards to the executive officers and other key employees, and to delegate authority to our CEO to make limited discretionary equity awards for attraction and retention purposes to non-executives. We also expect to continue to make annual grants of restricted stock units with time-based vesting conditions to the Company’s directors.
The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee has not adopted a formal policy governing the timing of equity awards. However, we have generally made awards to executive officers in the first quarter of the fiscal year, and we expect to continue this practice.
Incentive Compensation Clawback and Cancellation Policy
The Company maintains an incentive compensation clawback and cancellation policy that allows the Board or the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee to recoup incentive compensation if (1) the Company restates its financial statements or (2) if the independent directors determine that a current or former employee has engaged in egregious misconduct resulting in actual or potential reputational or financial harm to the Company. The policy applies to cash or equity-based incentive compensation to current and former named executive officers and other executive officers that has been paid, granted, vested or accrued in any fiscal year within the three-year period preceding the filing of the restatement or one year preceding the date on which the Company discovers such conduct. The policy allows recoupment of the difference between the incentive compensation paid, granted, vested or accrued under the original results and the incentive compensation that would have been paid, granted, vested or accrued under the restated results. The policy can be enforced by reducing or cancelling outstanding and future incentive compensation, and by a claim for repayment. In determining the amount of compensation to cancel or recover under the policy, the independent directors may take into account any considerations they deem appropriate, including events that led to a financial restatement, the conduct of the individual, the impact of the misconduct, the cost of the recovery process and the likelihood of successful recovery under governing law.
The SEC has adopted new rules to require public companies to adopt clawback policies to recover excess incentive compensation from executive officers under certain conditions involving accounting restatements. The SEC has asked the national stock exchanges to propose and adopt new listing standards to meet the requirements of the SEC's adopted rules. In the interim, we believe our current clawback policy generally encompasses the incentive compensation recoupment required by the SEC's rules. Once NYSE listing standards are final, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee will revisit the existing clawback policy and reassess.

Impacts of Regulatory Requirements
Tax Deductibility of Compensation Expense. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally places a $1 million limit on the amount of compensation a publicly held company can deduct in any tax year on compensation paid to “covered employees.” Prior to the passage of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, performance-based compensation paid to our “covered employees,” such as annual cash incentives and performance-based RSUs, was generally excluded from this $1 million deduction limit. As a result of changes in the tax law, this previously-available exclusion for performance-based compensation is generally no longer available after 2017. While the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee considers tax deductibility as one of many factors in determining executive compensation, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee will award compensation that it determines to be consistent with the goals of our executive compensation program even if such compensation is not tax deductible by the Company and may modify compensation that was initially intended to be tax deductible if it determines that such modifications are consistent with the Company’s business needs. Thus, a majority of the amounts payable under our executive compensation arrangements will not be tax deductible or, if initially intended to be tax deductible, may not actually receive this treatment.
Other Tax, Accounting and Regulatory Considerations. Many other Internal Revenue Code provisions, SEC regulations and accounting rules affect the design of executive pay. They are taken into consideration to create and maintain plans that are intended to comply with these requirements and that our Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee believes are effective and in the best interests of our Company and our shareholders.

1.Amounts in the Salary column include base salary earned, including paid time off taken, and, where applicable, the value of paid time off deferred under the 2005 MDCP.
2.Amounts shown in the Bonus column for 2020 represent the value of payouts under the 2020 ACI Program. As a result of 2020 financial results, as previously disclosed in the 2021 proxy statement, in alignment with our pay for performance principles, Ms. Pope and two other executives did not receive a bonus due to the Company's poor financial performance in 2020. Amount shown in Bonus column for 2022 for Ms. Espinosa represents a sign-on bonus paid in 2022.
3.Amounts shown in the Stock Awards column represent the aggregate grant date fair value of PSU and RSU awards, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718, Compensation Stock Compensation, excluding the effect of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting. The grant date fair values reported above will likely vary from the actual amount realized by the named executive officer based on a number of factors, including the number of RSUs and PSUs that ultimately vest and the closing market price of our common stock on the vesting date. For RSUs, we calculate grant date fair value by multiplying the number of shares underlying the award by the NYSE closing price per share of our common stock on the grant date. For PSUs, we calculate grant date fair value by assuming the satisfaction of performance-based goals at the “target” level for all metrics other than TSR and multiplying the corresponding number of shares earned by the NYSE closing price per share of our common stock on the grant date. For the TSR portion of the PSUs, fair value is determined using a Monte Carlo simulation. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for additional details regarding the assumptions made in the valuations reflected in this column.

PENSION BENEFITS
The following table shows the actuarial present value of Ms. Pope’s accumulated benefit under the Pension Plan as of December 31, 2022. The Pension Plan was closed to new participants before Mr. Ajello, Ms. Espinosa, Mr. Bekkedahl and Mr. Kochavatr joined the Company.

Name | Plan Name | Number of Years Credited Service | Present Value of Accumulated Benefit
Maria Pope | Pension Plan | 14 | $533,244

Participants in the Pension Plan earn benefits under the plan during each year of employment. Employees are vested in plan benefits after 5 years of service. Normal retirement age under the plan is 65. Early retirement income is available to participants after age 55, but benefits are reduced for each year prior to the normal retirement date, using early retirement factors and based on the formula described below. Ms. Pope qualified for early retirement as of December 31, 2022.
For non-union plan participants, the basic monthly pension benefit is based on Final Average Earnings (FAE), defined as the highest consecutive 60 months of earnings (base pay paid, excluding reductions due to income deferrals) during the last 120 months of employment.
The basic pension benefit under the plan is calculated as follows:

Monthly Benefit |  | = |  | 1.2% of FAE for first 30 years of service |  | + |  | 0.5% of FAE in excess of 35-Year Average of Social Security Taxable Wage Base |  | + |  | 0.5% of FAE for each year of service over 30 years

The normal form of payment for a participant who does not have a spouse is a straight life annuity, which makes periodic payments to the participant until his or her death. The normal form of payment if the participant has a spouse is a contingent annuity, which makes full payments for the life of the participant and thereafter 50% of the full payments until the death of the spouse if he or she survives the participant.
Pension Plan calculations are based on assumptions that are reviewed annually with the Company’s actuaries. The benefit calculation shown in the table above assumes retirement at age 65 (or current age if later), a discount rate of 5.42% and mortality assumptions based on the Generational Annuitant Mortality (PRI-2012 with MP2018 projection and 20-year convergence to SSA smoothed long-term rates). These assumptions are the same ones used for financial reporting purposes.
The 2005 MDCP provide a benefit to compensate participants for Pension Plan benefits that are lower due to salary deferrals under the 2005 MDCP. These deferrals reduce a participant’s Final Average Earnings, on which Pension Plan benefits are based. The present value of the reduction in Pension Plan benefits due to salary deferrals is calculated as a lump sum upon termination of employment and added to the participant’s deferred compensation plan account balance. The aggregate present value of this benefit is reflected in the Pension Benefits table above.

NON-QUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION
Our 2005 Management Deferred Compensation Plan (2005 MDCP) allows executives and a select group of management and highly compensated employees to elect on a year-by-year basis to defer the receipt of up to 80% of their base salary and 100% of their cash incentive compensation for payment in installments or in a lump sum future date in connection with a separation of employment. Additionally, a participant can elect to defer PTO. Beginning in 2022, the maximum number of hours of PTO that a participant may defer annually is the lesser of (i) 160 or (ii) total projected PTO hours for the year less 152. The following table shows the named executive officers’ contributions and earnings in 2022 and balances as of December 31, 2022 under the 2005 MDCP. The accompanying narrative describes key provisions of the plan.

1.Amounts in this column include salary and paid-time-off deferrals that are reflected in the Salary column of the Summary Compensation Table, as well as cash incentive award deferrals that are reflected in the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column of the Summary Compensation Table.
2.Amounts in this column include a Company matching contribution of 3% of annual base salary deferred under the applicable plan. These amounts are included in the Summary Compensation Table under “All Other Compensation.”
3.Amounts included in this column were reported as compensation to the named executive officer in the Company’s Summary Compensation Table for previous years, other than amounts earned before the officer first became a named executive officer.
For 2022, participants could also contribute cash payments in lieu of up to 80 hours of canceled paid time off. The Company provides a 3% matching contribution for base salary deferred. Deferral elections must be made no later than December 31 of the taxable year preceding the year in which the compensation is earned.
Amounts deferred under the 2005 MDCP accrue interest that is 0.5% higher than the annual yield on Moody’s Average Corporate Bond Yield Index. Interest rates are established in the plan document, which is administered by a management-level committee.
Payments are triggered by termination of employment, beginning six months after separation from service; a participant’s account balance during the six-month delay continues to accrue interest. Under both plans, benefits are paid in one of the following forms, as elected by the participant in a payment election form filed each year for the following year’s deferrals: (i) a lump-sum payment; (ii) monthly installments in equal payments of principal and interest over a period of up to 180 months; or (iii) monthly installment payments over a period of up to 180 months, consisting of interest only payments for up to 120 months and principal and interest payments of the remaining account balance over the remaining period. If the participant is under 55 years of age upon termination of employment, the restoration of pension benefits payment is made in a lump sum with the first monthly payment.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS AND RIGHTS ON TERMINATION AND CHANGE IN CONTROL BENEFITS
The following plans provide benefits that may become payable to named executive officers, depending on the circumstances surrounding their termination of employment with the Company. When listing the potential payments to the named executive officers under the plans described below, it is assumed that the applicable triggering event (retirement or other termination of employment) occurred on December 31, 2022 and the price per share of the Company common stock is equal to the closing price as of the last NYSE trading day in 2022.
Executive Severance Plan
The Company provides severance benefits and change-in-control benefits to executives, including all named executive officers, under its Severance Plan. In addition, severance benefits are provided through other plans or agreements included in the following description of severance benefits.
To receive any severance benefits, named executive officers must release the Company and its affiliates from all claims arising out of the officer’s employment relationship and agree to certain confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation and non-disparagement restrictions in favor of the Company and its affiliates.
Severance Benefits - No Change in Control
Under the Company’s Severance Plan, executives of the Company are eligible for severance pay if they are terminated without cause, or if they voluntarily terminate employment for good reason and within 90 days following the event that constitutes good reason. Those benefits include:
•A cash lump sum payment equal to 1 times annual base salary, for non-CEO named executive officers, and 1.5 times annual base salary for the CEO;
•An amount equal to a pro-rata portion of the annual cash incentive award in effect immediately prior to termination based on the target level of performance and the period of the named executive officer's service during the award year (unless the named executive officer is retirement eligible); and
•An amount equal to 12 months of continuation coverage under COBRA for non-CEO named executive officers and 18 months for CEO (if named executive employee is eligible for and timely elects COBRA coverage).
Severance Benefits - Change in Control
Under the Company's Severance Plan, executives of the Company are eligible for severance pay if they are terminated within 24 months after a change in control event. Those benefits include:
•A cash lump sum payment equal to 1.5 times, for Ms. Espinosa and Mr. Kochavatr, 2 times, in the case of Mr. Ajello and Mr. Bekkedahl, and 2.5 times, in the case of Ms. Pope, of the sum total of (i) annual base salary at the highest rate in effect during the preceding 24 months, and (ii) the target annual cash incentive award in effect immediately prior to the start of the 24 month period;
•An amount equal to a pro-rata portion of the annual cash incentive award in effect immediately prior to termination based on the target level of performance and the period of the named executive officer's service during the award year (unless the named executive officer is retirement eligible); and
•An amount equal to 18 months of continuation coverage under COBRA for Ms. Espinosa and Mr. Kochavatr, 24 months for Mr. Ajello and Mr. Bekkedahl, and 30 months for Ms. Pope (if the named executive employee is eligible for and timely elects COBRA coverage).

77 | Portland General Electric | 2023 Proxy Statement

Executive Compensation Tables | Table of Contents

For purposes of the plan, the terms “change in control,” “cause,” and “good reason” have the following meanings:
“Change in control” means any of the following:
•A person or entity becomes the beneficial owner of Company securities representing more than 30% of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities;
•During any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of the period (the Incumbent Board) cease to constitute at least a majority of the Board of Directors, provided, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the beginning of such two year period, whose election to the Board of Directors or nomination for election to the Board of Directors by the Company’s shareholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual was a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs in connection with or as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents;
•There occurs a consummation of a reorganization, merger, statutory share exchange or consolidation or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the holders of the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto holding immediately thereafter securities representing, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or other surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or
•The shareholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.
A Change in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred if holders of common stock of the Company continue to have substantially the same proportionate ownership in an entity which owns all or substantially all of the assets of the Company as a result of a transaction or a series of integrated transactions.
“Good reason” means the occurrence of any of the following conditions:
•A material adverse change in the nature of the executive’s duties or responsibilities (for avoidance of doubt ceasing to be the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Chief Legal Officer or Chief Human Resources Officer of a public company shall constitute a material adverse change);
•A material reduction in the executive’s base compensation or short-term cash incentive compensation opportunities; or
•A mandatory relocation of the executive’s principal place of work in excess of 50 miles.
“Cause” in the case of a termination that occurs within two years of a change in control is defined as:
•The substantial and continuing failure of the executive to perform substantially all of his or her duties to the Company (other than a failure resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness), after 30 days’ notice from the Company;
•The material breach of law or written Company policy, applicable to the executive, including, but not limited to the Company's Code of Business Ethics and Conduct, that could result in significant reputation or financial harm to the Company;
•Dishonesty, gross negligence or breach of fiduciary duty;
•The commission of an act of fraud or embezzlement, as found by a court of competent jurisdiction;
•The conviction of a felony;

78 | Portland General Electric | 2023 Proxy Statement

Executive Compensation Tables | Table of Contents

•A material breach of the terms of an agreement with the Company, provided that the Company provides the executive with adequate notice of the breach and the executive fails to cure the breach within 30 days after receipt of notice; or
•any other misconduct by the executive that would justify the recoupment or cancellation of compensation under the Company's Incentive Compensation Clawback and Cancellation Policy.
Equity and Payment Acceleration in Change in Control, Death, Disability or Retirement and the "Rule of 75" Vesting in Event of Change in Control
Stock Incentive Plan. Under the terms of the Stock Incentive Plan, in the event of a chance in control of the company, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee may accelerate distribution of stock awards, provide payment to the participant of cash or other property equal to the fair market value of the award, adjust the terms of the award, cause the award to be assumed, or make such other adjustments to awards as the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee considers equitable to the participant and also in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders.
PSU Awards. PSU awards for executives provide for accelerated vesting in the event of the executive’s termination following a change in control. Under the terms of the grant agreements, any PSUs that have not previously vested will vest automatically at the target level of performance as of the date of termination within two years following a change in control: (i) when the grantee’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause, or (ii) if the grantee voluntarily terminates employment for good reason within 90 days after the event constituting good reason. For purposes of the PSU awards, the terms “change in control,” “cause,” and “good reason” have the same definitions as those described above under the heading “Severance Benefits- Change in Control.” The number of dividend equivalent rights would be determined in accordance with the terms of the awards, calculated as if the date of termination were the end of the performance period.
Vesting of PSUs and RSUs and Payment of ACI in Event of Death, Disability or Retirement
PSU and RSU Awards. Our PSU and RSU award agreements with the named executive officers provide for vesting of the performance RSUs in the event an officer’s employment is terminated due to the officer’s death, disability or retirement (as defined under our Pension Plan, which requires five years of service and a minimum age of 55). In the case of PSUs, the number of units that vest is determined by multiplying the performance percentage by the number of PSUs originally granted and by the percentage of the performance period that the officer was actively employed. In the case of RSUs, the number of units that vest is determined by multiplying the number of RSUs originally granted by the percentage of the vesting period that the officer was employed.
ACI Payments. Under the terms of the ACI Plan, if a participant’s employment terminates due to death, disability or retirement, the Company will pay an award to the participant or the participant’s estate, as applicable, if and when awards are payable generally to other participants under the plan. The amount of the award will be prorated to reflect the number of full and partial months during the year in which the participant was employed. For the purposes of this provision, “retirement” means a participant’s termination of employment after meeting the requirements for retirement under the Pension Plan (currently age 55 with five years of service).
Vesting of PSUs and RSUs Based on “Rule of 75”
Beginning with our 2020 awards, our PSU and RSU grant agreements provide that, if a grantee satisfies the “rule of 75” upon termination of employment for reasons other than cause, then (i) in the case of RSU awards, all unvested RSUs under the award will vest, and (ii) in the case of PSU awards, the grantee will be eligible for full vesting, based on performance results, notwithstanding early termination. For purposes of these provisions, a recipient satisfies the rule of 75 if the recipient has no less than 5 years of service and the recipient’s age plus years of service is at least 75. See "Compensation Discussion and Analysis, Other Terms of the PSU and RSU Awards," for the treatment of Mr. Ajello awards.

Outplacement Assistance Plan
The Company maintains the Portland General Electric Company Outplacement Assistance Plan to cover the cost of outplacement assistance for certain employees who lose their jobs as a result of corporate, departmental or work group reorganization, including the elimination of a position or similar business circumstances. Eligible management employees, including the named executive officers, are offered the services of an outside outplacement consultant for three to twelve months, with the exact length of the services determined by the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee.
The tables below show the estimated value of payments and other benefits to which the named executive officers would be entitled under the Company’s plans and programs upon termination of employment in specified circumstances and following a change in control of the Company. The amounts shown assume (only for purposes of illustration and not as an expectation or projection about the future) that the effective date of the termination or change in control was December 31, 2022. Benefits that (i) do not discriminate in favor of executive officers and are generally available to salaried employees or (ii) are disclosed above under “Pension Benefits” and “Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation” are not shown in the tables below.

Pay Ratio Disclosure
In accordance with SEC rules, we are disclosing the ratio of the annual total compensation of our CEO to the annual total compensation of the individual we have identified as our median employee for this purpose.
We identified our median employee by examining 2022 taxable earnings, as reported on W-2 forms (W-2 taxable earnings), for all individuals who were employed by the Company on December 31, 2022, other than our CEO. We believe that the use of W-2 taxable earnings, which is a broad and widely used measure of annual compensation, is an appropriate measure by which to determine the median employee. We included all employees, whether employed on a full-time, part-time or seasonal basis, and we did not annualize the compensation of any full-time employee who was employed for less than the full 2022 calendar year.
After identifying the median employee based on 2022 W-2 taxable earnings, we calculated annual total compensation for the median employee using the same methodology that we use for our named executive officers as set forth in the Total column in the 2022 Summary Compensation Table. As measured using that methodology, our CEO’s annual total compensation for 2022 was $6,294,923 and our median employee’s annual total compensation for 2022 was $125,267. As a result, our 2022 CEO to median employee pay ratio was approximately 50:1.

Item 3: Ratification of the Appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP Our Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for the selection, appointment, compensation, and oversight of the independent registered public accounting firm retained to audit the Company’s financial statements. The Audit and Risk Committee has appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP (Deloitte) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ending December 31, 2023. The Company is asking shareholders to ratify this appointment. Deloitte is an international accounting firm which provides leadership in public utility accounting matters. Deloitte has served as our independent registered public accounting firm since 2004. Deloitte has unique experience in auditing the financial books and records of regulated utilities. The Audit and Risk Committee and the Board believe that the retention of Deloitte to serve as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2023 is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Although ratification is not required by law or under our bylaws or other corporate governance documents, the Board is submitting the appointment of Deloitte to our shareholders for ratification because we value our shareholders’ views on this matter and as a matter of good corporate governance. If our shareholders do not ratify the appointment, this will be considered a recommendation to the Board and the Audit and Risk Committee to consider the selection of a different firm. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit and Risk Committee may, in its discretion, select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. Representatives of Deloitte are expected to be present at our 2023 Annual Meeting and will have an opportunity to make a statement, if they so desire, and will be available to respond to appropriate questions. |  |  |  |

Audit and Risk Committee Matters
AUDIT AND RISK COMMITTEE REPORT
The 2022 Audit and Risk Committee is comprised of the five directors named below, and operates under the charter adopted by the Board, which is posted on the Company's website at https://investors.portlandgeneral.com/corporate-governance.
The Board has determined that each Audit and Risk Committee member is independent and financially literate, and that at least one member has accounting or other related financial management expertise, as such qualifications are defined in the NYSE rules, our Corporate Governance Guidelines, and/or the Audit and Risk Committee's charter. The Board has also determined that Mr. Ganz, member of the committee, qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" as defined by SEC rules.
The Audit and Risk Committee’s primary responsibilities are to assist the Board with oversight of the integrity of the Company’s financial statements and system of internal controls, the independent auditor’s qualifications and independence, the performance of the Company’s internal audit function and independent auditor, the effectiveness of the Company’s enterprise risk management program, and the Company’s compliance with legal and regulatory requirements.
Management is responsible for the internal controls and the financial reporting processes, including the integrity and objectivity of the financial statements.
Our independent registered public accounting firm is responsible for performing an independent audit of the Company’s financial statements and of its internal control over financial reporting under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (PCAOB) and expressing an opinion as to the conformity of the Company’s financial statements with generally accepted accounting principles and the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting.
In performing its oversight role, the Audit and Risk Committee has considered and discussed the audited financial statements with each of management and the independent registered public accounting firm for 2022, Deloitte & Touche LLP (Deloitte). The Audit and Risk Committee has discussed with Deloitte significant accounting policies that the Company applies in its financial statements, as well as alternative treatments and critical audit matters addressed during the audit. We have further discussed with Deloitte the matters required to be discussed under applicable PCAOB standards. We have received from Deloitte the written disclosures and the letter required by applicable PCAOB rules regarding Deloitte’s independence, discussed with Deloitte its independence, and considered whether the non-audit services provided by Deloitte are compatible with maintaining its independence.
The Audit and Risk Committee also has reviewed and discussed with the Company’s management the audited financial statements included in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K, and management’s reports on the financial statements and internal control over financial reporting. Management has confirmed to the Committee that the financial statements have been prepared with integrity and objectivity and that management has maintained an effective system of internal control over financial reporting. Deloitte has expressed its professional opinions that the financial statements conform with accounting principles generally accepted and that management has maintained an effective system of internal control over financial reporting. In addition, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have reviewed with the Audit and Risk Committee the certifications that each will file with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and the policies and procedures management has adopted to support the certifications.
Based on these considerations, the Audit and Risk Committee has recommended to the Board that the Company’s audited financial statements be included in the Company’s 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

SELECTION OF AUDITOR
The Audit and Risk Committee is responsible for the appointment, replacement, compensation and oversight of the work of the independent auditor, including the terms of the engagement. The independent auditor reports directly to the Audit and Risk Committee. At each Audit and Risk Committee meeting, the independent auditor meets separately with the Audit and Risk Committee, without management present.
The Audit and Risk Committee annually considers whether Deloitte should be reappointed for another year. The lead engagement partner is required to rotate off the Company’s audit at least every five years. In connection with the mandated rotation of Deloitte’s lead engagement partner effective in 2022, the Company and select members of the Audit and Risk Committee performed a rigorous interview process based on professional, industry and personal criteria. As a result of this process, the Audit and Risk Committee Chair then selected the lead engagement partner taking into account management’s recommendation.
The Audit and Risk Committee considered several factors when determining whether to reappoint Deloitte as the Company's Independent auditor including:
•Deloitte’s professional qualifications and reputation for integrity and competence in the fields of accounting and auditing;
•Qualifications of the lead audit partner and other key audit engagement members;
•Deloitte’s current and historical performance on the Company’s audits, including the extent and quality of its communications with the Audit and Risk Committee and the Company’s management and internal audit department;
•Depth of Deloitte’s knowledge of the Company’s business, internal controls, and accounting practices;
•The nature and extent of Deloitte’s non-audit services;
•Analysis of Deloitte’s known legal risks and significant proceedings that could impair its ability to perform the Company’s annual audit;
•Appropriateness of Deloitte’s audit fees;
•Deloitte’s tenure as the Company’s independent auditor; and
•The potential impact of seeking another accounting firm with comparable professional qualifications and industry expertise.

PRE-APPROVAL POLICY FOR INDEPENDENT AUDITOR SERVICES
The Board has adopted a policy for pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the Company’s independent auditor. Each year, the Audit and Risk Committee approves the terms on which the independent auditor is engaged for the ensuing fiscal year. All requests for audit, audit-related and tax services that are not on the pre-approved list of specified services must be approved by the Audit and Risk Committee. Management and the independent auditors are required to report at least quarterly to the Audit and Risk Committee regarding the services provided, and fees paid for such services, compared to the services and fees that were pre-approved in accordance with the pre-approval policy. The Audit and Risk Committee is authorized under the pre-approval policy to delegate its pre-approval authority to a member of the committee.
All audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the independent auditors during 2021 and 2022 were pre-approved by the Audit and Risk Committee.

|  |  |  | Item 4: Approval of Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan We are seeking shareholder approval to amend and restate our Stock Incentive Plan. Our continuing ability to offer equity incentive awards is an important part of our compensation program and our ability to attract and retain qualified personnel. The Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to approve this proposal. The principal changes that the amendments will make are to : •increase the shares reserved for issuance by 1.0 million •extend the plan termination date from March 31, 2024 to April 30, 2034 •remove obsolete Code Section 162(m) provisions •clarify the plan administrators's ability to modify outstanding awards, including to accelerate vesting or lapse of restrictions The amended and restated Stock Incentive Plan also includes other administrative, clarifying and conforming changes. BACKGROUND The Portland General Electric Company Stock Incentive Plan was adopted by the Board of Directors (the "Board") effective March 31, 2006, and was most recently amended and restated by the Board's Compensation, Culture, and Talent Committee on February 9, 2023, and approved for submission to shareholders by the Board on February 10, 2023. The Stock Incentive Plan was last approved by our shareholders on April 25, 2018, with a term ending on March 31, 2024. On December 13, 2022, the Oregon Public Utilities Commission approved the issuance of shares under the Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan. Shareholder approval of the Stock Incentive Plan will have the effect of (and is required for): •Adding 1.0 million shares to the plan; •authorizing the extension of the term of the plan through April 30, 2034 The initial reserve for the Stock Incentive Plan was 4,687,500 shares of company common stock were originally approved for issuance and, as of December 31, 2022, 579,461 shares of company common stock were subject to outstanding unvested awards and 2,082,469 shares remain available for future issuance. The Board believes that additional shares are necessary to meet the Company's anticipated equity compensation needs. The proposed share increase is expected to last through the term of the Stock Incentive Plan. This is an estimate that anticipates the rate of growth of our hiring, an estimated range of our stock price over time, and other factors, including the number of shares we have available for grant under our Stock Incentive Plan.
| What are you voting on? We are asking shareholders to approve our Stock Incentive Plan, which includes increasing the number of shares available in the plan and extending the termination date. |  |
| "FOR" The Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote "FOR" the approval of the Amended and Restated Portland General Electric Company Stock Incentive Plan, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement. |  |

1.Represents outstanding restricted stock units and related dividend equivalent rights issued under the Stock Incentive Plan, and assumes maximum payout for restricted stock units with performance-based vesting conditions. The restricted stock units do not have an exercise price and are issued when award criteria are satisfied. See the sections entitled “Non-Employee Director Compensation - Restricted Stock Unit Grants” and “Long-Term Equity Incentive Awards” for further information regarding the Stock Incentive Plan.
2.Represents shares remaining available for issuance under the Stock Incentive Plan and the 2007 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

The number of shares subject to purchase during any purchase period depends on the number of current participants and the price of the common stock on the date of purchase.
There are no equity compensation plans not approved by shareholders. The RSUs and PSUs have no exercise price. There are 89,441,457 total shares of common stock outstanding.
The Stock Incentive Plan Incorporates Good Governance Practices
•Administration: The plan is administered by the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee, which is comprised entirely of independent directors.
•Eligibility: we grant equity awards to a range of employees, as well as to non-employee directors, ensuring that employee and director interests are aligned with shareholder interests.
•Shareholder approval required for the addition of new shares: the Stock Incentive Plan does not contain an annual "evergreen" provision.
•No dividends or dividend equivalents on unvested restricted stock or restricted stock units (or any other award).
•Transferability: awards are not transferable without specific provision by the Committee.
•Annual and Individual Award Limits: the plan places an annual limit on the number of shares that may be issued under the plan, as well as a limit on the maximum number of shares that may be granted under an award to any participant during the term of the plan
•No single-trigger accelerated vesting on a change in control
•No liberal recycling of shares withheld or tendered as payment for shares or tax withholdings on any award or of shares not issued on exercise and stock settlement of a stock appreciation right
•No repricing of awards without shareholder approval
•No discounted stock options or stock appreciation rights (other than in the case of substitute awards granted in connection with an acquisition)
•No tax gross-up

Item 4: Approval of Long-Term Incentive | Table of Contents

SUMMARY OF PLAN
The following is a summary of the principal features of the Stock Incentive Plan as amended and restated. The summary is qualified in its entirety by the Stock Incentive Plan as set forth in Appendix A.
Purpose: The purpose of the Stock Incentive Plan is to attract, retain and motivate highly competent persons as officers, directors and key employees of the company and its subsidiaries and affiliates, by providing them with incentives and rewards in the form of rights to earn shares of common stock of the Company and cash equivalents.
Administration: The Stock Incentive Plan is administered by the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee. All of the members of the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee are independent under NYSE listing standards, were appointed by the Board and are non-employee directors within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.
Subject to the provisions of the Stock Incentive Plan, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee has the authority to determine: (i) which officers, directors, and key employees will receive Awards, (ii) the time or times when Awards will be granted, (iii) the types of Awards to be granted, (iv) the number of shares of common stock that may be issued under each Award and the exercise price or purchase price, if any, and (v) the terms, restrictions and provisions of each Award. The Committee has the authority to construe the Stock Incentive Plan and Award agreements, to prescribe rules and regulations relating to the Stock Incentive Plan and to make all other determinations necessary or advisable for administering the plan, subject to the provisions of the plan. The determinations made by the Committee are binding and conclusive.
Eligibility: Officers, directors and key employees of the Company or its affiliates are generally eligible for awards including stock options, stock appreciation rights ("SARs"), restricted stock and stock units (collectively, "Awards"), but only employees may be granted incentive stock options.
Grant Agreements: Each Award is evidenced by a grant agreement that contains terms and conditions as determined by the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee in its discretion. The grant agreement will determine the effect on an Award of the participant’s disability, death, retirement, involuntary termination, termination for cause or other termination of employment or service, and the extent to which and period during which Awards may be exercised. If a grant agreement does not provide otherwise, vested options and SARs may be exercised for a period of 90 days following the date the participant ceases to be an employee or director of the company, its subsidiaries or affiliates, and unvested options, SARs, restricted stock awards and RSUs are forfeited on the date the participant ceases to be an employee or director of the company, its subsidiaries or affiliates. No dividends will be payable with respect to a share underlying an Award unless and until the Award vests in respect of such share, although dividend equivalents may be accrued pending vesting and paid only if vesting occurs. In addition, all Awards will be subject to such conditions as are necessary to comply with federal and state securities laws and understandings or conditions as to the participant’s employment, in addition to conditions specifically provided for under the Stock Incentive Plan.
Plan Limits: The current Stock Incentive plan authorizes the issuance of up to 4,687,500 shares of common stock pursuant to Awards, and if our shareholders approve this Item 4, an additional 1,000,000 shares of common stock will be available under the Stock Incentive Plan, subject to adjustment as provided in the plan and described below. The following additional limitations will apply under the Stock Incentive Plan:
•Maximum number of shares that may be the subject of an Award with respect to any individual participant during the term of the plan: 2,000,000
•Maximum number of shares that may be subject to Awards granted during a year: 1,250,000 during the first calendar year of the plan and thereafter 1% of our outstanding common stock at the beginning such year
•Maximum number of shares that may be granted pursuant to incentive stock options: 1,000,000
If an Award under the Stock Incentive Plan is forfeited or cancelled without having been exercised, is settled for cash or is converted to shares of an unrelated entity in connection with a corporate transaction, such shares may, to the extent of

95 | Portland General Electric | 2023 Proxy Statement

Item 4: Approval of Long-Term Incentive | Table of Contents

such cancellation, forfeiture, cash settlement or conversion, be used again for new grants under the Stock Incentive Plan. However, any shares tendered or withheld to satisfy the exercise price or tax withholding obligation pursuant to an Award, as well as shares subject to a SAR that are not issued in connection with the stock settlement of the SAR, may not be used for new grants.
Stock Options: Each stock option agreement will identify whether an option is an incentive stock option or nonstatutory option and will specify, among other terms, when the option becomes exercisable, the exercise price of the option (which may not be less than the fair market value of the underlying shares on the grant date) and the term of the option not to exceed 10 years from the date of grant. Additional limitations on incentive stock options are placed on anyone with more than 10 percent of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any subsidiary or affiliate. PGE does not issue stock options at this time. The closing price of our common stock, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange, on March 1, 2023, was $46.81 per share.
Stock Appreciation Rights: A Stock Appreciation Right means a right to receive payment in cash or shares of common stock of an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date the SAR is exercised over the fair market value of a share of common stock on the date the right is granted, all as determined by the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee, with a maximum term of 10 years. SARs may be awarded alone or in combination with options.
Restricted Stock Awards: Restricted stock awards may be subject to time based vesting and/or performance based vesting and such other terms and conditions as the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee determines appropriate. Restricted stock awards may or may not require payment of a purchase price in respect of the shares of common stock subject to the Award, and will specify whether the participant will have all of the rights of a holder of shares of common stock of the company, including the right to receive dividends (subject to vesting of the underlying shares) and to vote the shares.
Restricted Stock Units: An RSU provides for payment in shares of common stock at such time as is specified in the RSU agreement. Each RSU agreement will contain terms and conditions of the RSUs that are not inconsistent with the Stock Incentive Plan including, but not limited to, the number of shares of common stock underlying the RSU and time based and/or performance based vesting terms. The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee will determine whether a participant granted an RSU will be entitled to a dividend equivalent right, which entitles the holder to receive the amount of any dividend paid on the share of common stock underlying an RSU, and which may be paid in cash (subject to vesting of the underlying RSU) or in the form of additional RSUs, as determined by the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee.
Performance-Based Awards: Any Award granted under the Stock Incentive Plan may be granted subject to the attainment of performance criteria as determined by the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee in its sole discretion. Such performance criteria may include comparisons to the performance of other companies. The Committee may reduce or eliminate the number of shares of common stock or cash granted or the number of shares of common stock vested upon the attainment of a performance goal, and the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee may disregard or offset the effect of certain extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring items in determining the attainment of performance goals as specified in the Stock Incentive Plan. Such Awards may accumulate dividend equivalents on the same basis as described above in respect of RSUs with payment subject to vesting of the underlying Award.
Adjustments: In the event of any change in the common stock of the company through a merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, spin-off, combination of shares, exchange of shares, dividends or other changes in capital structure, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee will make such adjustments as it, in its sole discretion, deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, adjustments to (i) the number and if applicable, the kind, of shares available for future Awards, (ii) the number and if applicable, the kind, of shares of common stock covered by each outstanding option and SAR, (iii) the exercise price under each outstanding option and SAR; and (iv) the annual limit in the number of shares that may be subject to Awards under the Stock Incentive Plan, the limit on the number of shares that may be issued pursuant to incentive stock options and the limit on the number of shares that may be subject to an award granted to a participant during the term of the Stock Incentive Plan.

Item 4: Approval of Long-Term Incentive | Table of Contents

Effect of Change in Control: In the event of a change in control of the company, as defined in the Stock Incentive Plan, or in the event of a fundamental change in the business condition or strategy of the company, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee, in its sole discretion, may, at the time an Award is made or at any time thereafter, take one or more of the following actions: (i) provide for the acceleration of any time period relating to the exercise or payment of the Award; (ii) provide for payment to the participant of cash or other property with a fair market value equal to the amount that would have been received upon the exercise or payment of the Award had the Award been exercised or paid upon such event; (iii) adjust the terms of the Award in a manner determined by the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee to reflect such event, (iv) cause the Award to be assumed, or new rights substituted therefor, by another entity; or (v) make such other adjustments in the Award as the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee may consider equitable to the participant and in the best interests of the company. Any Award will be subject to such conditions as are necessary to comply with federal and state securities laws and understandings or conditions as to the participant’s employment in addition to those specifically provided for under the Stock Incentive Plan.
Prohibition on Repricing: The Stock Incentive Plan provides that the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee may not reprice or cancel and re-grant any Award at a lower exercise, base or purchase price, or cancel any Award with an exercise, base or purchase price in excess of the fair market value of the underlying common stock in exchange for cash, property or other awards, without the approval of the company’s shareholders.
Term, Amendment and Termination: The original effective date of the Stock Incentive Plan was March 31, 2006. The plan was last approved by shareholders in 2018. The Stock Incentive Plan was most recently amended and restated by the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee on February 9, 2023, and approved by the Board on February 10, 2023, subject to the approval of this Item 4 by our shareholders. The Stock Incentive Plan, as amended and restated, will terminate, by its terms, on April 30, 2034, but all outstanding Awards as of the date of termination will remain in effect and the terms of the Stock Incentive Plan shall apply until each such Award terminates as provided in the applicable grant agreement. Notwithstanding the general plan termination date, no incentive stock options may be granted after February 9, 2033.
The Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee may, at any time and for any reason, amend or terminate the Stock Incentive Plan. An amendment of the Stock Incentive Plan will be subject to the approval of the company’s shareholders to the extent required by applicable laws, regulations, rules or requirements of any applicable stock exchange. Any such termination or amendment of the Stock Incentive Plan will not affect any Award previously granted under the plan.
Subject to the otherwise applicable terms of the Stock Incentive Plan, the Compensation, Culture and Talent Committee may amend the terms of any Award previously granted (and the related Award agreement), prospectively or retroactively, but generally no such amendment may impair the rights of any participant without his or her consent unless necessary or advisable to comply with applicable law. No amendment of any stock options or SARs may be made in a manner that will be treated as the grant of a new stock option or SAR under Section 409A of the Code.
Existing Plan Benefits: The table below reflects the number of shares subject to Awards granted under the Stock Incentive Plan since its inception through December 31, 2022, including stock units (both RSUs and performance-based units, shown in the target amount of shares granted. These share numbers do not take into account the effect of Awards that have been cancelled or that expired unexercised. No awards have been granted under the Stock Incentive Plan to any nominee for election as a director prior to their initial election or to any associate of a non-employee director (or nominee) or executive officer, and no other person has been granted five percent or more of the total amount of options or other Awards granted under the Stock Incentive Plan.

Federal Income Tax Information: The following is a brief summary of the federal income tax consequences of certain transactions under the Stock Incentive Plan based on federal income tax laws in effect as of the date of this Proxy Statement. This summary is not intended to be exhaustive and, among other things, does not describe state, local or non-U.S. tax consequences, or the effect of gift, estate, or inheritance taxes. Additional or different federal income tax consequences to the Stock Incentive Plan participant or the company may result depending upon other considerations not described below. Awards under the Stock Incentive Plan are intended either not to be “deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code or to comply with the requirements of Section 409A.
Incentive Stock Options: A participant will not recognize regular income upon grant or exercise of an incentive stock option. (The spread on exercise of an incentive stock option is generally taken into account for purposes of calculating the alternative minimum tax.) If a participant exercises an incentive stock option and disposes of the shares acquired more than two years after the date of grant and more than one year following the date of exercise, no income is recognized upon exercise and the sale of the shares will qualify for capital gains treatment. If a participant disposes of shares acquired upon exercise of an incentive stock option before either the one-year or the two-year holding period (a “disqualifying disposition”), the participant will recognize ordinary income in an amount equal to the lesser of (i) the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise over the option price or (ii) the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date of disposition over the option price. Any additional gain realized upon the disqualifying disposition will be eligible for capital gains treatment. The company will not be allowed any deduction for federal income tax purposes at either the time of grant or the time of exercise of an incentive stock option. However, upon any disqualifying disposition by an employee, the company will be entitled to a deduction to the extent the employee recognized compensation income, subject to applicable deduction limits under the Code.
Nonstatutory Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights: No income is recognized by a participant at the time a nonstatutory stock option or SAR is granted. At the time of exercise of a nonstatutory stock option or SAR, the participant will recognize ordinary income, and the company will be entitled to a deduction in the amount by which the fair market value of the shares acquired exceeds the exercise price at the time of exercise, subject to applicable deduction limits under the Code. Upon the sale of shares acquired upon exercise of a nonstatutory stock option or SAR, the participant will receive capital gains treatment on the difference between the amount realized from the sale and the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise. Such capital gains treatment will be short-term or long-term, depending on the length of time the shares were held.

98 | Portland General Electric | 2023 Proxy Statement

Item 4: Approval of Long-Term Incentive | Table of Contents

Restricted Stock: In general, a participant who receives a restricted stock award will recognize ordinary compensation income on the difference between the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the date when the shares are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture and any amount paid for the shares, and the company will be entitled to a deduction for tax purposes in the same amount, subject to applicable deduction limits under the Code.. Any gain or loss on the participant’s subsequent sale of shares will receive short-term or long-term capital gains treatment, depending on the length of time the shares were held. If a participant receiving a restricted stock award makes a timely election under Section 83(b) of the Code to have the tax liability determined at the date of grant rather than when the restrictions lapse, the participant will recognize ordinary compensation income on the difference between the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the date the stock is issued and any amount paid for the shares, and the company will be entitled to a corresponding deduction, subject to the applicable deduction limits under the Code. If such an election is made, the participant recognizes no further amounts of compensation income when the restrictions lapse, and any gain or loss on the participant’s subsequent sale of the shares will receive short-term or long-term capital gains treatment, depending on the length of time the shares were held.
Restricted Stock Units: A participant who receives RSUs will recognize ordinary compensation income when the RSUs vest and are paid in shares of common stock or cash, in the amount of the fair market value of the shares of common stock on the date paid to the participant and the company will be entitled to a corresponding deduction, subject to applicable deduction limits under the Code. Any gain or loss on the participant’s subsequent sale of shares will receive short-term or long-term capital gains treatment, depending on the length of time the shares were held.
Code Section 162(m): Under Section 162(m) of the Code, our deduction for awards under the 2023 Plan may be limited to the extent that any "covered employee" (as defined in Section 162(m) of the Code) receives compensation in excess of $1 million a year.
Vote Required and Board of Directors Recommendation: Approval of the Stock Incentive Plan will require that a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock entitled to vote at the annual meeting be present in person or represented by proxy at the annual meeting, and that the number of votes cast in favor of this proposal exceeds the number of votes cast against this proposal.

aforesaid, may employ one or more persons to render advice with respect to any responsibility the Committee or such person may have under the Plan. The Committee may employ such legal or other counsel, consultants and agents as it may deem desirable for the administration of the Plan and may rely upon any opinion or computation received from any such counsel, consultant or agent. Expenses incurred by the Committee in the engagement of such counsel, consultant or agent shall be paid by the Company, or the subsidiary or Affiliate whose employees have benefited from the Plan, as determined by the Committee.

Designation of a Participant in any year shall not require the Committee to designate such person to receive an Award in any other year or, once designated, to receive the same type or amount of Award as granted to the Participant in any other year. The Committee shall consider such factors as it deems pertinent in selecting Participants and in determining the type and amount of their respective Awards.

b.The Grant Agreement will determine the effect on an Award of the disability, death, retirement, involuntary termination, termination for cause or other termination of employment or service of a Participant and the extent to which, and the period during which, the Participant’s legal representative, guardian or beneficiary may receive payment of an Award or exercise rights thereunder. If the relevant Grant Agreement does not provide otherwise, however, the following default rules shall apply:
i.Vested Stock Option and Stock Appreciation Rights held by a Participant shall be exercisable for a period of 90 days following the date the Participant ceases to be an employee or director of the Company, its subsidiaries and Affiliates;
ii.Unvested Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock Awards and Stock Units held by a Participant shall be forfeited on the date the Participant ceases to be an employee or director of the Company, its subsidiaries and Affiliates.
c.The Committee, in its sole discretion, may modify a Grant Agreement, including, without limitation, to accelerate wholly or partially the vesting or lapse of restrictions of an Award, provided any such modification will not materially adversely affect the economic interests of the Participant unless the Committee shall have obtained the written consent of the Participant or unless such modification is necessary or advisable to comply with applicable law. Subject to Section 14, the Committee shall not have the authority to (i) reprice or cancel and re-grant any Award at a lower exercise, base or purchase price or (ii) cancel any Award with an exercise, base or purchase price of less than “Fair Market Value” (as defined in Section 8(g)) in exchange for cash, property or other Awards without first obtaining the approval of the Company’s shareholders.
d.Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or a Grant Agreement to the contrary, no dividends or Dividend Equivalent Rights will be payable with respect to a share of Common Stock underlying an Award unless and until the Award vests in respect of such share of Common Stock.

8.Stock Options.
a.Generally. At any time, the Committee may grant, in its discretion, awards of stock options that will enable the holder to purchase a number of shares of Common Stock from the Company, at set terms (a “Stock Option”). Stock Options may be incentive stock options (“Incentive Stock Options”), within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code, or Stock Options which do not constitute Incentive Stock Options (“Nonqualified Stock Options”). The Committee will have the authority to grant to any Participant one or more Incentive Stock Options and/or Nonqualified Stock Options. Each Stock Option shall be subject to such terms and conditions, including vesting, consistent with the Plan as the Committee may provide in the Grant Agreement, subject to the following limitations:
b.Exercise Price. Each Stock Option granted hereunder shall have such per-share exercise price as the Committee may determine in the Grant Agreement, but such exercise price may not be less than “Fair Market Value” on the date the Stock Option is granted, except as provided in Section 11(c).
c.Payment of Exercise Price. The option exercise price may be paid in cash or, in the discretion of the Committee and in accordance with any requirements established by the Committee, by the delivery of shares of Common Stock of the Company then owned by the Participant. In the discretion of the Committee and in accordance with any requirements established by the Committee, payment may also be made by (i) delivering a properly executed exercise notice to the Company together with a copy of irrevocable instructions to a broker to deliver promptly to the Company the amount of sale or loan proceeds to pay the exercise price or (ii) by means of consideration received under any cashless exercise procedure approved by the Committee (including the withholding of shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon exercise).
d.Exercise Period. Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions, including vesting, as shall be determined by the Committee in the Grant Agreement, provided that no Stock Option may be exercised later than ten (10) years after the date it is granted.
e.Limitations on Incentive Stock Options. Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Participants who are employees of the Company or of a “Parent Corporation” or “Subsidiary Corporation” (as defined in Sections 424(e) and (f) of the Code, respectively) at the date of grant. The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time the Stock Option is granted in accordance with Section 8(g)) of the Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by a Participant during any calendar year (under all option plans of the Company and of any Parent Corporation or Subsidiary Corporation) shall not exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000). For purposes of the preceding sentence, Incentive Stock Options will be taken into account in the order in which they are granted. The per-share exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant.
f.Additional Limitations on Incentive Stock Options for Ten Percent Shareholders. Incentive Stock Options may not be granted to any Participant who, at the time of grant, owns stock possessing (after the application of the attribution rules of Section 424(d) of the Code) more than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Parent Corporation or Subsidiary Corporation, unless the exercise price of the option is fixed at not less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the date of grant and the exercise of such option is prohibited by its terms after the expiration of five (5) years from the date of grant of such option.
g.Fair Market Value. For purposes of this Plan and any Awards granted hereunder, “Fair Market Value” shall be the closing price of the Common Stock on the relevant date (or on the last preceding trading date if Common Stock was not traded on such date) if the Common Stock is readily tradable on a national securities exchange or other market system, and if the Common Stock is not readily tradable, Fair Market Value shall mean the amount determined in good faith by the Committee as the fair market value of the Common Stock.

Item 4: Approval of Long-Term Incentive | Table of Contents

9.Stock Appreciation Rights.
a.Generally. At any time, the Committee may, in its discretion, grant stock appreciation rights with respect to Common Stock (“Stock Appreciation Rights”), including a concurrent grant of Stock Appreciation Rights in tandem with any Stock Option grant. A Stock Appreciation Right means a right to receive a payment in cash or in Common Stock of an amount equal to the excess of (i) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date the right is exercised over (ii) the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date the right is granted, all as determined by the Committee, with a maximum term of 10 years. Each Stock Appreciation Right shall be subject to such terms and conditions, including vesting, as the Committee shall impose in the Grant Agreement.
b.Exercise Period. Stock Appreciation Rights granted under the Plan shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions, including vesting, as shall be determined by the Committee in the Grant Agreement, provided that no Stock Appreciation Right may be exercised later than ten (10) years after the date it is granted.
10.Restricted Stock Awards.
a.Generally. At any time, the Committee may, in its discretion, grant Awards of Common Stock, subject to restrictions determined by the Committee (a “Restricted Stock Award”). Such Awards may include mandatory payment of any bonus in stock consisting of Common Stock issued or transferred to Participants with or without other payments therefor and may be made in consideration of services rendered to the Company or its subsidiaries or Affiliates. A Restricted Stock Award shall be construed as an offer by the Company to the Participant to purchase the number of shares of Common Stock subject to the Restricted Stock Award at the purchase price, if any, established therefore.
b.Payment of the Purchase Price. If the Restricted Stock Award requires payment therefor, the purchase price of any shares of Common Stock subject to a Restricted Stock Award may be paid in any manner authorized by the Committee, which may include any manner authorized under the Plan for the payment of the exercise price of a Stock Option.
c.Restrictions. Restricted Stock Awards shall be subject to such terms and conditions, including without limitation time-based vesting and/or performance-based vesting, restrictions on the sale or other disposition of such shares, and/or the right of the Company to reacquire such shares for no consideration upon termination of the Participant’s employment within specified periods, as the Committee determines appropriate. The Committee may require the Participant to deliver a duly signed stock power, endorsed in blank, relating to the Common Stock covered by such an Award. The Committee may also require that the stock certificates evidencing such shares be held in custody or bear restrictive legends until the restrictions thereon shall have lapsed.
d.Rights as a Shareholder. The Restricted Stock Award shall specify whether the Participant shall have, with respect to the shares of Common Stock subject to a Restricted Stock Award, all of the rights of a holder of shares of Common Stock of the Company, including the right to accrue dividends (subject to Section 7(d) above) and to vote the shares.
11.Common Stock Available Under the Plan.
a.Basic Limitations. The aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be subject to Awards over the entire term of the Plan since its original effective date (subject to the remainder of this Section 11 and to Section 14) shall be 4,687,500, plus an additional 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock, as of the 2023 Annual Meeting Date, subject to any adjustments made in accordance with Section 14 hereof. The maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be:
i.the subject of an Award with respect to any individual Participant under the Plan during the term of the Plan shall not exceed 2,000,000 (subject to adjustments made in accordance with Section 14 hereof);

103 | Portland General Electric | 2023 Proxy Statement

Item 4: Approval of Long-Term Incentive | Table of Contents

ii.covered by Awards issued under the Plan during a year shall be limited during the first calendar year of the Plan to 1,250,000 and during any year thereafter to 1% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock at the beginning such year; and
iii.issued pursuant to Incentive Stock Options awarded under the Plan shall be 1,000,000.
Shares of Common Stock issued under the Plan may, in whole or in part, be authorized but unissued shares or shares held in treasury that shall have been or may be reacquired by the Company in the open market, in private transactions or otherwise.
b.Additional Shares. Any shares of Common Stock subject to a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right which for any reason is cancelled or terminated without having been exercised and any shares of Common Stock subject to Restricted Stock Awards or Stock Units which are forfeited or, in the case of Stock Units, settled in cash, shall again be available for Awards under the Plan. Further, any shares of Common Stock subject to an Award that is converted to shares of an unrelated entity in connection with a recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination, exchange of shares or similar event shall again be available for Awards under the Plan. The preceding sentence shall apply only for purposes of determining the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock subject to Awards but shall not apply for purposes of determining the maximum number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which Awards may be granted to any individual Participant under the Plan.
Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan or a Grant Agreement to the contrary, shares of Common Stock that are exchanged by a Participant or withheld by the Company as full or partial payment in connection with any Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right under the Plan, as well as any shares of Common Stock exchanged by a Participant or withheld by the Company or any Subsidiary Corporation to satisfy the tax withholding obligations related to any Award, shall not be available for subsequent Awards under the Plan, and notwithstanding that a Stock Appreciation Right may be settled by the delivery of a net number of shares of Common Stock, the full number of shares of Common Stock underlying such Stock Appreciation Right shall not be available for subsequent Awards under the Plan. Further, the payment of Dividend Equivalent Rights in cash shall not be counted against the shares of Common Stock available for issuance under the Plan. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11(b), no shares of Common Stock may again be optioned, granted or awarded if such action would cause an Incentive Stock Option to fail to qualify as an incentive stock option under Section 422 of the Code.
c.Acquisitions. In connection with the acquisition of any business by the Company or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates, any outstanding grants or awards of options, restricted stock or other equity-based compensation pertaining to such business may be assumed or replaced by Awards under the Plan (“Substitute Awards”) upon such terms and conditions as the Committee determines appropriate, notwithstanding limitations on Awards in the Plan, including granting of Stock Options or Stock Appreciation Rights with an exercise price below Fair Market Value at the date of the replacement grant. Substitute Awards shall not reduce the shares of Common Stock authorized for grant under Section 11(a) and shares of Common Stock subject to such Substitute Awards shall not be added to the shares of Common Stock available for awards under the Plan as provided in Section 11(b) . Additionally, in the event that a company acquired by the Company or any subsidiary or Affiliate or with which the Company or any subsidiary or Affiliate combines, has shares available under a pre-existing plan approved by its shareholders and not adopted in contemplation of such acquisition or combination, the shares available for grant pursuant to the terms of such pre-existing plan (as adjusted, to the extent appropriate, using the exchange ratio or other adjustment or valuation ratio or formula used in such acquisition or combination to acquisition or combination) may be used for Awards under the Plan; provided that such Awards shall not be granted after the date awards could have been made under the terms of the pre-existing plan and shall be made only to individuals who were not employed by or providing services to the Company or its subsidiaries or Affiliates immediately prior to such acquisition or combination.

104 | Portland General Electric | 2023 Proxy Statement

Item 4: Approval of Long-Term Incentive | Table of Contents

12.Stock Units.
a.Generally. The Committee may, in its discretion, grant “Stock Units” (as defined in Section 12(c)) to Participants hereunder. Stock Units may be subject to such terms and conditions, including time-based vesting and/or performance-based vesting, as the Committee determines appropriate. A Stock Unit granted by the Committee shall provide payment in shares of Common Stock at such time as the Grant Agreement shall specify. Shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Section 12 may be issued with or without other payments therefor as may be required by applicable law or such other consideration as may be determined by the Committee. The Committee shall determine whether a Participant granted a Stock Unit shall be entitled to a Dividend Equivalent Right (as defined in Section 12(c)).
b.Settlement of Stock Units. Shares of Common Stock representing the Stock Units shall be distributed to the Participant upon settlement of the Award pursuant to the Grant Agreement.
c.Definitions. A “Stock Unit” means a notional account representing one (1) share of Common Stock. A “Dividend Equivalent Right” means the right to receive the amount of any dividend paid on the share of Common Stock underlying a Stock Unit, which shall be payable in cash or in the form of additional Stock Units, in the discretion of the Committee, subject to Section 7(d) above.
13.Foreign Laws. The Committee may grant Awards to individual Participants who are foreign nationals, employed or providing services outside the United States or subject to the tax laws of nations other than the United States, which Awards may have terms and conditions as determined by the Committee as necessary to comply with applicable foreign laws, facilitate the administration of the Plan or qualify for tax-favorable treatment, and in furtherance of such purposes, the Committee may adopt such Award modifications, procedures, appendices or subplans as may be necessary or advisable. The Committee may take any action which it deems advisable to obtain approval of such Awards by the appropriate foreign governmental entity; provided, however, that no such Awards may be granted pursuant to this Section 14 and no action may be taken which would result in a violation of the Exchange Act, the Code or any other applicable law.
14.Adjustment Provisions.
a.Adjustment Generally. If there shall be any change in the Common Stock of the Company, through merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, split up, spin-off, combination of shares, exchange of shares, dividends or other changes in capital structure, an adjustment shall be made as provided below in (b) to each outstanding Award.
b.Modification of Awards. In the event of any change or distribution described in subsection (a) above, the Committee shall appropriately adjust the number and, as applicable, the kind, of shares which may be issued pursuant to the Plan, the other limits on Common Stock issuable under the Plan under Section 11, and the number and, as applicable, the kind, of shares covered by, and the exercise price of, each outstanding Award.
c.Notwithstanding the above, no adjustment to a Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall be made under this Section 14 in a manner that will be treated under Section 409A of the Code as the grant of a new Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right.
d.Modification of Performance-Based Awards. The Committee shall disregard or offset the effect of “Extraordinary Items” in determining the attainment of performance goals. For this purpose, “Extraordinary Items” means extraordinary, unusual and/or non-recurring items, including but not limited to, (i) regulatory disallowances or other adjustments, (ii) restructuring or restructuring-related charges, (iii) gains or losses on the disposition of a business or major asset, (iv) changes in regulatory, tax or accounting regulations or laws, (v) resolution and/or settlement of litigation and other legal proceedings or (vi) the effect of a merger or acquisition.
15.Nontransferability, Title and Other Restrictions. Except as otherwise specifically provided by the Committee in a Grant Agreement or modification of a Grant Agreement that provides for transfer, each Award granted under the Plan to a Participant shall not be transferable otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercisable, during the Participant’s lifetime, only by the Participant. In the event of the death of a Participant,

105 | Portland General Electric | 2023 Proxy Statement

Item 4: Approval of Long-Term Incentive | Table of Contents

each Award granted to him or her shall be exercisable during such period after his or her death as the Committee shall in its discretion set forth in the Grant Agreement at the date of grant and then only by the executor or administrator of the estate of the deceased Participant or the person or persons to whom the deceased Participant’s rights under the Stock Option or Stock Appreciation Right shall pass by will or the laws of descent and distribution.
16.Change in Control or Other Corporate Event.
a.In order to preserve a Participant’s rights under an Award in the event of a Change in Control of the Company or in the event of a fundamental change in the business condition or strategy of the Company, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may, at the time an Award is made or at any time thereafter, take one or more of the following actions: (i) provide for the acceleration of any time period relating to the exercise or payment of the Award, (ii) provide for payment to the Participant of cash or other property with a fair market value equal to the amount that would have been received upon the exercise or payment of the Award had the Award been exercised or paid upon such event, (iii) adjust the terms of the Award in a manner determined by the Committee to reflect such event, (iv) cause the Award to be assumed, or new rights substituted therefor, by another entity, or (v) make such other adjustments in the Award as the Committee may consider equitable to the Participant and in the best interests of the Company
Further, any Award shall be subject to such conditions as necessary to comply with federal and state securities laws, , or understandings or conditions as to the Participant’s employment in addition to those specifically provided for under the Plan.
b.A “Change in Control” shall mean any of the following events:
i.Any person (as such term is used in Section 14(d) of the Exchange Act) becomes the “beneficial owner” (as determined pursuant to Rule 14d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of the Company representing more than thirty percent (30%) of the combined voting power of the Company’s then outstanding voting securities; or
ii.During any period of two (2) consecutive years (not including any period prior to the Board's adoption of this Plan), individuals who at the beginning of such period (the “Incumbent Board”) cease to constitute at least a majority of the Board provided, however, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the beginning of such two (2)-year period whose election to the Board, or nomination for election to the Board by the Company’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual was a member of the Incumbent Board, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs in connection with or as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents; or
iii.There occurs a consummation of a reorganization, merger, statutory share exchange or consolidation or similar transaction involving the Company or any of its subsidiaries, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the holders of the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto holding immediately thereafter securities representing, directly or indirectly, more than fifty percent (50%) of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or
iv.The shareholders of the Company approve a plan of complete liquidation of the Company or an agreement for the sale or disposition by the Company of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control shall not be deemed to have occurred by virtue of the consummation of any transaction or series of integrated transactions immediately following which the holders of Common Stock of the Company immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions continue to have substantially the same proportionate ownership in an entity which owns all or substantially all of the assets of the Company immediately following such transaction or series of transactions or in the case of any transaction or series of integrated transactions where the sole purpose is to change the jurisdiction of the Company’s incorporation or create a holding company that will be owned in substantially

106 | Portland General Electric | 2023 Proxy Statement

Item 4: Approval of Long-Term Incentive | Table of Contents

the same proportions by the persons who held the Company’s securities immediately before such transaction or series of transactions.
c.If all or a portion of an Award constitutes deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code and such Award (or portion thereof) is to be settled, distributed or paid on an accelerated basis due to a Change in Control event that is not a "change in control event" described in Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(i)(5) or successor guidance, if such settlement, distribution or payment would result in additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, such Award (or the portion thereof) shall vest at the time of the Change in Control (provided such accelerated vesting will not result in additional tax under Section 409A of the Code), but settlement, distribution or payment, as the case may be, shall not be accelerated.
17.Withholding. All payments or distributions of Awards made pursuant to the Plan shall be net of any amounts required to be withheld pursuant to applicable U.S. and/or non-U.S. federal, state and local tax withholding requirements. If the Company proposes or is required to distribute Common Stock to a Participant pursuant to the Plan, it may require the Participant to remit to it or to the corporation or entity that employs such Participant an amount sufficient to satisfy such tax withholding requirements prior to the delivery of any such Common Stock. In lieu thereof, the Company or the employing corporation or entity shall have the right to withhold the amount of such taxes from any other sums due or to become due from such corporation to the Participant as the Committee shall prescribe. The Committee may, in its discretion and subject to such rules as it may adopt (including any as may be required to satisfy applicable tax and/or non-tax regulatory requirements), permit or require a Participant to pay all or a portion of the U.S. and/or non-U.S. federal, state and local withholding taxes arising in connection with any Award consisting of shares of Common Stock by electing to have the Company withhold shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value equal to the applicable amount of tax to be withheld or by such other method as may be set forth in a Grant Agreement.
18.Employment. A Participant’s right, if any, to continue to serve the Company or any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates as a director, officer, employee, or otherwise, shall not be enlarged or otherwise affected by his or her designation as a Participant under the Plan.
19.Unfunded Plan. Participants shall have no right, title, or interest whatsoever in or to any investments which the Company may make to aid it in meeting its obligations under the Plan. Nothing contained in the Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create or be construed to create a trust of any kind, or a fiduciary relationship between the Company and any Participant, beneficiary, legal representative or any other person. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive payments from the Company under the Plan, such right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured general creditor of the Company. All payments to be made hereunder shall be paid from the general funds of the Company and no special or separate fund shall be established and no segregation of assets shall be made to assure payment of such amounts except as expressly set forth in the Plan. The Plan is not intended to be subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.
20.Fractional Shares. In the Committee's discretion, fractional shares of Common Stock may be issued or delivered pursuant to the Plan or any Award in payment of accumulated Dividend Equivalent Rights, based on performance results for Awards subject to performance-based vesting or a due to a retirement before the end of a plan period. Where fractional shares of Common Stock are not issued or delivered, the Committee shall determine whether cash, or Awards, or other property shall be issued or paid in lieu of fractional shares or whether such fractional shares or any rights thereto shall be forfeited or otherwise eliminated.
21.Duration, Amendment and Termination. The Plan shall terminate on April 30, 2034; provided, however, that no Incentive Stock Option may be granted after February 9, 2033. All outstanding Awards as of the date of termination of the Plan shall remain in effect and the terms of the Plan shall apply until each such Award terminates as provided in the applicable Grant Agreement. The Committee may amend the Plan from time to time or suspend or terminate the Plan at any time. No amendment of the Plan may be made without approval of the shareholders of the Company if such approval is required under the Code, the rules of a stock exchange, or any other applicable laws or regulations.

107 | Portland General Electric | 2023 Proxy Statement

Item 4: Approval of Long-Term Incentive | Table of Contents

22.Award Deferrals. Participants may elect to defer receipt of shares of Common Stock or amounts payable under an Award in accordance with procedures established by the Committee, subject to compliance with Section 409A of the Code, if applicable.
23.Section 409A of the Code. The Plan as well as payments and benefits under the Plan are intended to be exempt from or, to the extent subject thereto, to comply with, Section 409A of the Code, and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, the Plan shall be interpreted in accordance therewith. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, a Participant shall not be considered to have terminated employment or service with the Company for purposes of the Plan and no payment shall be due to the Participant under the Plan or any Award until the Participant would be considered to have incurred a “separation from service” from the Company and its Affiliates within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code. Any payments described in the Plan that are due within the “short term deferral period” as defined in Section 409A of the Code shall not be treated as deferred compensation unless applicable law requires otherwise. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, to the extent that any Awards (or any other amounts payable under any plan, program or arrangement of the Company or any of its Affiliates) are payable upon a separation from service and such payment would result in the imposition of any individual tax and penalty interest charges imposed under Section 409A of the Code, the settlement and payment of such awards (or other amounts) shall instead be made on the first business day after the date that is six (6) months following such separation from service (or death, if earlier). Each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided under this Plan shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code. The Company makes no representation that any or all of the payments or benefits described in this Plan will be exempt from or comply with Section 409A of the Code and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A of the Code from applying to any such payment. Each Participant shall be solely responsible for the payment of any taxes and penalties incurred under Section 409A of the Code.
24.Compliance with Laws. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, the Company shall have no obligation to deliver any shares of Common Stock under the Plan or make any other distribution of benefits under the Plan unless such delivery or distribution would comply with all applicable laws (including, without limitation, the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Exchange Act, corporate, securities, tax or other laws, rules or regulations, whether U.S. or non-U.S., federal state or local), and the applicable requirements of any securities exchange or similar entity. The inability or impracticability of the Company to obtain or maintain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, shall relieve the Company of any liability in respect of the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained, and shall constitute circumstances in which the Committee may determine to amend or cancel Awards pertaining to such Shares, with or without consideration to the Participant.
25.Certain Additional Considerations.
a.In the event that the Company establishes, for itself or using the services of a third party, an automated system for the documentation, granting or exercise of Awards, such as a system using an internet website or interactive voice response, then the paperless documentation, granting or exercise of Awards by a Participant may be permitted through the use of such an automated system.
b.If any provision of the Plan is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the other provisions of the Plan shall not be affected but shall be applied as if the invalid or unenforceable provision had not been included in the Plan.
c.Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Plan, any Award which is subject to recovery under any law, government regulation, stock exchange listing requirement or Grant Agreement or Company policy, will be subject to such deductions and clawback as may be required to be made pursuant to such law, government regulation or stock exchange listing requirement (or any Grant Agreement or policy adopted by the Company pursuant to any such law, government regulation, stock exchange listing requirement or otherwise).

We are providing these proxy materials to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies by PGE’s Board of Directors for our 2023 Annual Meeting of shareholders and for any adjournment or postponement of the meeting. This Notice of Annual Meeting and proxy statement and a proxy or voting instruction card are being mailed or made available to shareholders starting on or about March 7, 2023.
Why did I receive a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials in the mail instead of printed copies of the proxy materials?
Making the proxy materials available to shareholders via the Internet saves us the cost of printing and mailing documents and will reduce the impact of the Annual Meeting on the environment. If you received only a Notice of Internet Availability, you will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials unless you request it. All shareholders will have the ability to access the proxy materials on a website referred to in the Notice of Internet Availability or request to receive a printed set of the proxy materials at no charge. Instructions on how to access the proxy materials on the internet or to request a printed copy may be found in the Notice of Internet Availability. In addition, shareholders may request to receive proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by email on an ongoing basis by following the instructions on the website referred to in the Notice of Internet Availability.
Why did some shareholders receive printed or email copies of the proxy materials?
We are distributing printed copies of the proxy materials to shareholders who have previously requested printed copies. We are providing shareholders who have previously requested electronic delivery of proxy materials with an email containing a link to the website where the materials are available via the internet.
What is “householding” and how does it affect me?
The Company has adopted the “householding” procedure approved by the SEC, which allows us to deliver one set of documents to a household of shareholders instead of delivering a set to each shareholder in a household, unless we have been instructed otherwise. This procedure is more environmentally friendly and cost-effective because it reduces the number of copies to be printed and mailed. Shareholders who receive proxy materials in paper form will continue to

receive separate proxy cards to vote their shares. If you would like to change your householding election, request that a single copy of the proxy materials be sent to your address, or request a separate copy of the proxy materials, please contact Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc., by calling (866) 540-7095 or by writing to Broadridge Householding Department, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, New York 11717. We will promptly deliver the proxy materials to you upon receipt of your request. If you hold your shares in street name, please contact your bank, broker, or other record holder to request information about householding.
How can I access the proxy materials online?
This Notice of Annual Meeting of shareholders and Proxy Statement, as well as our 2022 Annual Report, are available on our website at https://investors.portlandgeneral.com/financial-information/annual-reports.
Who is entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting?
Holders of PGE common stock as of the close of business on the record date, February 21, 2023, may vote at the Annual Meeting or by proxy. As of the close of business on February 21, 2023, there were 89,441,457 shares of PGE common stock outstanding and entitled to vote. The common stock is the only authorized voting security of the Company, and each share of common stock is entitled to one vote on each matter properly brought before the Annual Meeting.
What matters will be voted on at the Annual Meeting?
There are four matters scheduled for a vote at the Annual Meeting:
Item 1 Election of the 10 directors named in this Proxy Statement;
Item 2 Advisory, non-binding vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers;
Item 3 Ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2023; and
Item 4 Approval of the Amended and Restated Portland General Electric Company Stock Incentive Plan.
What are the Board’s voting recommendations?
The Board recommends that you vote:
“FOR” the election of each of the Company’s 10 nominees for director;
“FOR” the approval of the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers;
“FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2023; and
“FOR” the approval of the Amended and Restated Portland General Electric Company Stock Incentive Plan.
What is the difference between holding shares as a shareholder of record and as a beneficial owner?
If your shares are registered directly in your name with our transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, or AST, you are considered the “shareholder of record” with respect to those shares.
If your shares are held in a stock brokerage account or by a bank or other nominee, those shares are held in “street name” and you are considered the “beneficial owner” of the shares. As the beneficial owner of those shares, you have the right to direct your broker, bank or other nominee how to vote your shares, and you will receive separate instructions from your broker, bank or other nominee describing how to vote your shares. You also are invited to attend the Annual Meeting. However, because you are not the shareholder of record, you may not vote these shares at the meeting unless

Additional Information | Table of Contents

you obtain a “legal proxy” from the broker, bank or other nominee that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares at the meeting.
How can I attend the virtual Annual Meeting?
To participate in the Annual Meeting, visit virtualshareholdermeeting.com/POR2023 and enter the 16-digit control number included on your notice of Internet availability of the proxy materials, on your proxy card, or on the instructions that accompanied your proxy materials. You may begin to log into the meeting platform beginning at 7:45 a.m. Pacific Time on April 21, 2023.
How can I vote?
Even if you plan to attend the Annual Meeting, we recommend that you vote before the meeting so that your vote will be counted should you later decide not to attend the meeting. You may vote in one of the following ways:
•By Telephone. If you are located in the United States or Canada, you can vote your shares by calling 1-800-690-6903 and following the instructions on the proxy card or voting instruction form.
•By Internet. Go to proxyvote.com and follow the online instructions.
•By Mail. If you received your proxy materials by mail, you can vote by marking, signing and dating your proxy card and returning it in the postage-page envelope provided. If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in street name, please complete and mail the voting instruction form as indicated on the form.
•At the virtual Annual Meeting. If you are a shareholder of record on February 21, 2023 and attend the virtual Annual Meeting, you may vote during the Annual Meeting by following the instructions available on the meeting website during the meeting.
Internet and telephone voting is available through 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on April 18, 2023 for shares held in the Portland General Electric Company Employee Stock Purchase Plan and through 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on April 20, 2023 for all other shares. To attend the virtual Annual Meeting and for telephone and Internet voting, you will need the 16-digit control number included on your notice or proxy card or in the voting instruction form that accompanied your proxy materials.
How can I ask a question at the Annual Meeting?
If you wish to ask a question during the virtual Annual Meeting, you may do so during the meeting by logging into the virtual meeting platform at virtualshareholdermeeting.com/POR2023, typing your question into the “Ask a Question” field, and clicking “Submit.” Questions pertinent to meeting matters will be answered during the meeting, subject to time constraints.

How will my shares be voted if I give my proxy but do not specify how my shares should be voted?
If your shares are held in your own name as a shareholder of record and you return your signed proxy card but do not indicate your voting preferences, your shares will be voted as follows:
“FOR” the election of each of the Company’s 10 nominees for director;
“FOR” the approval of the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers;

113 | Portland General Electric | 2023 Proxy Statement

Additional Information | Table of Contents

“FOR” the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2023; and
“FOR” the approval of the Amended and Restated Portland General Electric Company Stock Incentive Plan.
If I am the beneficial owner of shares held in street name by my broker, will my broker automatically vote my shares for me?
NYSE rules applicable to broker-dealers grant your broker discretionary authority to vote your shares without receiving your instructions on certain routine matters. Your broker has discretionary authority under the NYSE rules to vote your shares on the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm. However, unless you provide voting instructions to your broker, your broker does not have authority to vote your shares with respect to the election of directors and the approval of the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. As a result, we strongly encourage you to submit your proxy and exercise your right to vote as a shareholder.
Could other matters be decided at the Annual Meeting?
As of the date of this Proxy Statement, we are unaware of any matters, other than those set forth in the Notice of Annual Meeting of shareholders, that may properly be presented at the Annual Meeting. If any other matters are properly presented for consideration at the meeting, including, among other things, consideration of a motion to adjourn the meeting to another time or place, the persons named as proxies on the enclosed proxy card, or their duly constituted substitutes, will be deemed authorized to vote those shares for which proxies have been given or otherwise act on such matters in accordance with their judgment.
How can I change or revoke my vote?
If you hold shares in your own name as a shareholder of record, you may change your vote or revoke your proxy at any time before voting begins by:
• Notifying our Corporate Secretary in writing that you are revoking your proxy;
• Delivering another duly signed proxy that is dated after the proxy you wish to revoke, or delivering a later-dated vote by telephone or on the internet; or
• Attending the virtual Annual Meeting and voting. (Attendance at the meeting, in and of itself, will not cause your previously granted proxy to be revoked.)
Any written notice of revocation, or later dated proxy, should be delivered to:
Portland General Electric Company
Attention: Corporate Secretary
121 SW Salmon Street, 1WTC1301
Portland, Oregon 97204
If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in street name and wish to change your vote with respect to those shares, please check with your broker, bank or other nominee and follow the procedures your broker, bank or other nominee provides you.

Approval of the Amended and Restated Portland General Electric Company Stock Incentive Plan | Votes in Favor Exceed Votes Against

What is the “quorum” for the Annual Meeting and what happens if a quorum is not present?
The presence at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, of a majority of the votes entitled to be cast on a matter as of February 21, 2023 is required to constitute a “quorum” for that matter. The existence of a quorum is necessary in order to take action on the matters scheduled for a vote at the Annual Meeting. If you vote online or by telephone, or submit a properly executed proxy card, your shares will be included for purposes of determining the existence of a quorum. Proxies marked “abstain” and “broker non-votes” (each of which are explained below) also will be counted in determining the presence of a quorum. If the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting are not sufficient to constitute a quorum, the chair of the meeting, or the shareholders by a vote of the holders of a majority of shares present in person or represented by proxy, may, without further notice to any shareholder (unless a new record date is set), adjourn the meeting to a different time and place to permit further solicitations of proxies sufficient to constitute a quorum.
What is an “abstention” and how would it affect the vote?
An “abstention” occurs when a shareholder sends in a proxy with explicit instructions to decline to vote regarding a particular matter. Abstentions are counted as present for purposes of determining a quorum. However, an abstention with respect to a matter submitted to a vote of shareholders will not be counted for or against the matter. Consequently, an abstention with respect to any of the proposals at the Annual Meeting will not affect the outcome of the vote.
What is a “broker non-vote” and how would it affect the vote?
A broker non-vote occurs when a broker or other nominee who holds shares for another person does not vote on a particular proposal because that holder does not have discretionary voting power for the proposal and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner of the shares. Brokers will have discretionary voting power to vote shares for which no voting instructions have been provided by the beneficial owner with respect to the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm, but not with respect to the other proposals. Accordingly, there might be broker non-votes with respect to the election of directors and the advisory vote to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers. A broker non-vote will not be counted for or against the matter and, therefore, will not affect the outcome of the vote with respect to any of the proposals at the Annual Meeting.
Who will conduct the proxy solicitation and how much will it cost?
The Company is soliciting your proxy for the Annual Meeting and will pay all the costs of the proxy solicitation process. Our directors, officers and employees may communicate with shareholders by telephone, facsimile, email or personal contact to solicit proxies. These individuals will not be specifically compensated for doing so. We will reimburse

Additional Information | Table of Contents

brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries for their reasonable out-of-pocket expenses for forwarding solicitation materials to the beneficial owners of PGE common stock.
Who will count the votes?
Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. will tabulate the votes cast by mail, internet, and telephone as well as any votes cast at the Annual Meeting. Sujata Pagedar, our Corporate Secretary and Assistant General Counsel, will act as inspector of election to certify the results.
If you have any questions about voting your shares or attending the Annual Meeting, please call our Investor Relations Department at (503) 464-8073.
