Parece ser que Sempra Energy (hubo otras compañías demandadas) acordó pagar una indemnización (de varios millones de dólares) a las empresas/entidades/estados que presentaron una demanda colectiva en su contra para resolver el litigio y no seguir con el proceso judicial. Sempra Energy, al igual que el resto de empresas, debe informar a la Comisión de Valores de Estados Unidos de todo suceso significativo para sus inversores o accionistas, a través del formulario 8-K. Es a este formulario a lo que se refiere tu texto.

"Bustamante **Price Reporting Class Action**. In November 2002, California Lieutenant Governor Cruz Bustamante filed a lawsuit in state court in Los Angeles on behalf of a class of purchasers of gas and power alleging violations of state antitrust laws and state laws against unfair and unlawful business practices based on an alleged conspiracy to report and publish false and fraudulent natural gas prices with an intent to affect the market prices of natural gas and electricity in California."

Todo esto está relacionado con la crisis energética de California de los años 2000-2001.

Muy enrevesado, pero creo que este es el sentido ;))
