 check payable to “Equiniti Trust Company, LLC” in U.S. dollars, drawn on a U.S. bank. No interest will be earned on funds held by Equiniti prior to their investment. Do not send cash. Money orders, third-party checks and foreign checks will not be accepted and will be returned to the sender. Send the completed form and payment to Equiniti at the address designated in Question 3 for transaction processing. The check must be received no later than 12:00 noon, Eastern Time, one business day before the investment date. Checks received after this date will be used to purchase shares on the succeeding investment date. See Question 7 for information about the investment date.

• Alternatively, you may elect to have funds automatically withdrawn every month by electronic funds transfer from your checking or savings account at a qualified financial institution. Automatic electronic funds transfer enrollment forms are available by calling Equiniti at 1-888-556-0423. You also may make optional cash payments online at equiniti.com/us as a one-time event using electronic funds transfer from a bank account. If you authorize automatic withdrawals, funds will be withdrawn from your bank account on or about the 20th of each month (or the next business day if the 20th is not a business day), and will be invested in American Water common stock on the next available investment date. You may terminate the automatic monthly electronic funds transfer by providing written instructions to Equiniti. You may change the amount of money to be withdrawn by submitting a new automatic electronic funds transfer enrollment form to Equiniti.

Once funds have been deposited with Equiniti, you may not request a cash refund or otherwise change your order.

In the event that any check or other deposit is returned unpaid for any reason or your designated bank fails to make an electronic funds transfer because your account does not have sufficient funds, Equiniti will consider the request for the applicable purchase null and void, will immediately remove from your account any shares already purchased in anticipation of receiving those funds and will sell those shares. You also will be charged a $35.00 administrative fee for any check or other deposit that is returned unpaid by your bank or for any electronic funds transfer that is rejected by your bank. If the net proceeds from the sale of the shares removed from your account are insufficient to satisfy the balance of the uncollected amounts, including the administrative fee, Equiniti may sell additional shares from your account as necessary to satisfy the uncollected balance. This fee
