ROSEMEAD, Calif., March 2, 2023 — Edison International (NYSE: EIX) yesterday announced the pricing of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 8.125% Fixed-to-Fixed Reset Rate Junior Subordinated Notes due 2053. The offering is expected to close on March 6, subject to customary closing conditions. The annualized after-tax interest expense on the notes will be approximately $29 million.
