initi at the address designated for transaction processing set forth in Question 3. Your account will be closed within five business days after Equiniti receives your instructions. If your request is received less than three days prior to a dividend payment date, the dividend will be reinvested to the extent previously authorized, and the reinvested shares will be added to the shares to be withdrawn from your Plan account. There is an $18.00 withdrawal/termination fee for closing a Plan account.

When your account is closed, Equiniti will convert all of the full shares in your Plan account to direct registration in the exact name(s) shown on the account. If you wish a different name to be registered, please follow the procedures described in Question 9. Equiniti will liquidate any fractional share in your account and send you a check for the proceeds, less applicable fees. After your account is closed, dividends on any shares of American Water common stock, other than dividends payable in stock or other non-cash assets, will be paid in cash and sent to you at the address you provide, or automatically deposited in your bank account in accordance with your instructions.

Alternatively, you may direct Equiniti to sell any or all of the shares in your account. If Equiniti sells your shares, a withdrawal/termination fee of $18.00 plus $0.15 per share, together with any applicable transfer tax, will be deducted from the proceeds, and Equiniti will mail you a check for the net proceeds. Sale information also will be reported to the IRS. A Form 1099-B reporting the sale of shares for income tax purposes will be provided after year-end. You will not receive interest on sales proceeds held pending disbursement.

12. How may I keep track of my account’s activity?

Equiniti will send to you statements of your year-to-date account activity, dividend reinvestment, additional investment or sale of shares. The statements will show, to the extent applicable, the amount invested, the purchase or sale price of shares subject to Plan transactions, the number of shares purchased or sold and Plan fees, if any, as well as any activity associated with share deposits or withdrawals. Please notify Equiniti promptly in writing if your address changes.

Please retain all statements for your records. The statements contain important tax and other information. You will be charged a fee of $25.00 if you require a duplicate statement for a prior year. There are no fees for the current year’s statement.
