The Edison International Articles of Incorporation authorize the issuance of up to 800,000,000 shares of common stock, no par value. Edison International common stock may be issued from time to time upon such terms and for such consideration as may be determined by the Edison International board of directors. Such further issuances, up to the aggregate amounts authorized by the Edison International Articles of Incorporation, will not require approval by Edison International shareholders. Edison International common stock may also be issued from time to time under dividend reinvestment and employee benefit plans.
