Dear fellow shareholders:

We are pleased to invite you to our 2024 Annual Shareholders Meeting. The meeting is on Thursday, May 9, 2024, at 9 a.m., Pacific Time and will be held virtually. The accompanying proxy information describes how to participate and the matters to be voted on at the meeting.

Looking back on 2023, we celebrated Sempra's 25th anniversary, highlighting our notable achievements and innovation in serving our shareholders, customers and many other stakeholders-all while outperforming our peer group in delivering superior total shareholder returns since our inception. Sempra has excelled over the past quarter of a century in part by serving large growing markets with a targeted focus on energy infrastructure investments that produce quality returns with moderated risk. Importantly, the business decisions we have made over this time period have strategically positioned the company to benefit from important investment trends relating to electrification and decarbonization.

With confidence in our strategy, we approach the future with great optimism.

The continued execution of our sustainable business strategy starts with responsible governance and strong independent oversight by our Board of Directors. As part of its ongoing strategic dialogue with management, the board is focused on delivering near-term business outcomes, while simultaneously building a stronger and more resilient future business model across Sempra's three growth platforms-Sempra California, Sempra Texas and Sempra Infrastructure.

Through our thoughtful board refreshment process, we have assembled a group of directors with the skills, experience and qualifications to effectively oversee Sempra's strategy and deliver shareholder value. We consider this an ongoing process that involves both thoughtful refreshment and continuing board education. In 2023, this process resulted in the appointment of Richard J. Mark, the former chairman and president of Ameren Illinois, who is up for election by Sempra shareholders for the first time this year. Over the last few months, we have already benefited from Richard's 20 years of experience in electric and gas utility operations, customer service, public policy and regulation, as well as broad knowledge and experience with safety and reliability programs.

Our excitement for the year ahead stems from the Sempra family of companies' talented and dedicated workforce of more than 20,000 employees bound by a common set of values-do the right thing, champion people and shape the future-as well as our shared vision to deliver energy with purpose. We extend our sincere gratitude to the employees who are working hard every day to achieve Sempra's mission to be North America's premier energy infrastructure company.

Finally, our success as a company and as board members depends on listening to you, our shareholders. We remain committed to upholding a strong shareholder engagement program, which is anchored by our commitment to transparent and effective two-way communication. We look forward to speaking with more of you personally and thank you for allowing us to gather critical input that helps shape and strengthen Sempra's competitive position.

Your vote is important. Please review the accompanying materials and promptly vote your shares. As in past years, you can vote in advance of the meeting, via the Internet, by telephone, or by completing and returning the accompanying proxy card or voting instruction form.

For more information about our business, our 2023 Annual Report to Shareholders is available online atwww.sempra.com/2024-annual-meeting andwww.proxyvote.com.

On behalf of your Board of Directors and management team, we are sincerely grateful to all our shareholders for having the opportunity to represent you and serve Sempra.

Sincerely,

Jeffrey W. Martin

Chairman and Chief Executive OfficerCynthia J. (CJ) Warner Lead Independent Director

BOARD PROPOSALS

2. Ratification of appointment of independent registered public accounting firm

LOCATION:www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/SRE2024

Board'sRecommendation

FOR

The board believes that each of the nine director nominees possesses a diverse and robust range of critical skills and attributes that collectively contribute to the effective oversight of Sempra's evolving strategy and the material risks and opportunities facing our business.

See page 28 for more detail.

Rationale

The board believes it is in the best interests of Sempra and its shareholders for Deloitte & Touche LLP to continue to serve as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for 2024.

See page 36 for more detail.

The board believes that our compensation programs are effectively structured to prioritize pay-for-performance alignment to attract and retain a high-performing leadership team and motivate these leaders to execute Sempra's strategic priorities and drive long-term shareholder value creation.

See our "Compensation Discussion and Analysis" beginning on page 46 for more detail on our compensation philosophy and program elements.

SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS

5. Shareholder proposal requesting a report on certain safety and environmental matters

AGAINST

The board has carefully considered the shareholder proposal and recommends avote "AGAINST" because we believe our existing tailored policy-rather than the overly broad policy contemplated by this proposal-is the proper approach to align our executive compensation programs with long-term shareholder value creation, including enabling us to offer competitive compensation packages to attract and retain our highly qualified executives.

See page 39 for more detail.

The board has carefully considered the shareholder proposal and recommends a vote "AGAINST" because we already provide extensive disclosures about the robust policies, programs and systems we have in place to help protect our workforce and the communities we serve, as well as our governance approach and stakeholder engagement with respect to these matters, rendering the requested report unnecessary.

Proxy Statement Summary

Director Nominee Composition

Our board has made it a priority to develop and support a high-performance culture for our board, our management and the rest of our workforce.

At the board level, the board seeks directors with diversity of skills and experience and of gender and ethnicity, among other things. To assist our board in maintaining its focus on board diversity, we conduct an annual assessment of each director's skills, qualifications and experience as well as an annual board evaluation that are each fundamental to the board's process for assembling a group of directors with a diverse and appropriate mix of experience, competencies and backgrounds. The board uses the results of the assessment and evaluation to critically analyze its effectiveness and skill set, which helps position the board to oversee Sempra's current and future strategies and operations. In 2023, this process resulted in the appointment of our newest director, Richard J. Mark, who has 20 years of experience in electric and gas utility operations, customer service, public policy and regulation, as well as broad knowledge and experience with advanced utility technologies and safety and reliability programs. See "Proposal 1: Election of the Nine Director Nominees Named in this Proxy Statement" for more information about the background and experience of Mr. Mark and each of our other director nominees.

We have a strong track record of board refreshment. We have added four of our current directors since the beginning of 2018, which includes Jeffrey W. Martin but does not include Bethany J. Mayer due to her prior board service. Under the standards established by the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), Mr. Martin is not an independent director due to his ongoing service as our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President.

Strong Governance Practices

Supported by feedback from our shareholders, we believe our practices and policies described below reflect strong corporate governance practices.

  • Lead Independent Director with clearly defined and robust responsibilities

  • Annual election of all directors

  • Proxy access right for shareholder nominations of director candidates

  • Majority-vote and resignation policy for directors in uncontested elections

  • Shareholders representing in the aggregate 10% or more of our outstanding shares may call a special meeting of shareholders

  • Comprehensive, ongoing succession planning for key executives by the board

  • Strong history of board refreshment designed to maintain balanced and diverse board composition and tenure

  • Directors should not be nominated to stand for election after attaining age 75

  • Board-level oversight of sustainability, including enhanced focus of Safety, Sustainability and Technology Committee on sustainability and related matters

  • Board-level oversight of human capital management, including diversity and inclusion initiatives

  • Annual board, director and standing committee evaluations (except for Executive Committee)

  • Eight of our nine director nominees are independent directors under NYSE independence standards

  • All board committees (other than the Executive Committee) are composed of 100% independent directors

  • Director overboarding policy in place aligned with the preferences and policies of many of our shareholders

  • Executive sessions of non-management directors at all regular board meetings

  • 99% aggregate attendance of incumbent directors at board and committee meetings in 2023

  • Prohibition on hedging or pledging company stock

  • Robust share ownership guidelines for directors and officers

  • Active shareholder engagement with key members of management and our Lead Independent Director (see pages 17 and 50 for more detail)

  • Code of conduct applicable to directors and principal and executive officers supplements our code of conduct applicable to all employees
