 price will be equal to the average of the high and low prices per share of American Water common stock, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange Consolidated Tape on the date of purchase.

If Equiniti buys your shares in the public markets or in privately negotiated transactions, the share price will be the average price of all shares purchased for the weekly crediting to Plan accounts.

These share prices apply whether Equiniti is purchasing shares for your initial enrollment, purchasing additional shares for your account, or reinvesting dividends.

When you send in a payment by check or electronic funds transfer to buy American Water common stock, Equiniti will use your funds to buy the number of shares (including fractional shares to three decimal places) that can be purchased with your funds at the price described above. You will not be charged any transaction fees for the purchase.

9. How do I transfer shares that I hold to someone else?

To transfer ownership of some or all of your shares held through the Plan you must send to Equiniti written transfer instructions and your signature must be “Medallion Guaranteed” by a qualified financial institution. Most banks and brokers participate in a Medallion Guarantee program. The Medallion Guarantee program is intended to ensure that the individual signing is in fact the owner of the participant’s account. A notary is not sufficient. For information regarding the transfer process, call Equiniti at 1-888-556-0423. However, your ability to transfer shares in this manner may be restricted or limited pursuant to the terms of American Water’s Insider Trading and Prohibited Transactions Policy and the Personal Securities Trading and Preclearance Practice, each as summarized below.

#### 10. May I sell shares I hold through the Plan?
Yes. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws and the American Water Insider Trading and Prohibited Transactions Policy and the Personal Securities Trading and Preclearance Practice, you may authorize the sale of shares held in your Plan account by completing and submitting the form attached to your Plan statement or transaction confirmation. Equiniti will cause your shares to be sold as often as daily but at least once each week. Your shares may be aggregated with those of other Plan participants who have requested sales of shares in their Plan accounts. In that case, you will receive proceeds based on the average price of all shares sold. Equiniti will send you a check for the proceeds of the sale of your shares, less a transaction fee of $18.00 plus $0.15 per share sold and any applicable withholding and
