SoCalGas retires all outstanding preferred shares, including SOCGP

Why it may matterVerify against the original reporting
The retirement eliminates all future cash flows from SOCGP and SOCGM and triggers delisting, constraining liquidity. Price will move toward the fixed cash-out value ($31.14) with likely downside pressure prior to the Aug delisting; post-retirement, no residual value remains for the securities. Historical analogs show preferred retirements typically pull price to near the payout value before settlement, then vanish as a publicly traded instrument.
