- Jack T. Taylor, a member of Sempra's Board of Directors, received an award of 1,498.77 phantom shares (derivative securities) on 2026-05-12. The Form 4 reports the acquisition price as $0.00 because these are phantom (cash‑settled) shares granted as director compensation.

Context
- Phantom shares are cash‑settled equivalents of stock, not actual company shares: they track the economic value of Sempra common stock and are typically paid in cash upon vesting or separation. This is a compensation award rather than an open‑market purchase or sale, so it does not directly signal a bullish or bearish trade by the insider.
- Vested phantom shares give the director economic exposure already earned; the newly granted portion is deferred and may be forfeited if service ends before the vesting condition (per footnote).
