Item 8.01    Other Events.

As previously disclosed, Portland General Electric Company (the “Company”) was informed in 2021 that the Division of Enforcement of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the Division of Enforcement of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (the “CFTC”), and the Division of Enforcement of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (the “FERC”) were conducting investigations arising out of the energy trading losses the Company previously announced in August 2020. The Company has been cooperating in these investigations.

The Company has entered into a settlement agreement with the SEC in connection with its investigation. In connection with that settlement, on September 4, 2024, the SEC entered an administrative cease-and-desist order for violations of Sections 13(b)(2)(A) and 13(b)(2)(B) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 13a-15(a) thereunder. These violations relate to the sufficiency of the Company’s internal accounting controls, books and records and disclosure controls and procedures regarding the accounting for derivatives and regulatory transactions. The settlement does not include any monetary penalties.

The SEC’s administrative order recognized numerous remedial measures promptly undertaken by the Company and its cooperation during the investigation. Such remedial measures, which were adopted by the Company in 2020 based on the recommendations of an independent committee of the Company’s Board of Directors, included enhancements to the oversight of energy trading and associated risk management reporting, policies and practices. Management cannot predict whether there will be any further developments related to the CFTC or FERC investigations.
