DELIVERING PROXY MATERIALS THROUGH ELECTRONIC MEANS Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials for the Shareholder Meeting to Be Held on May 14, 2025 The Notice of 2025 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, 2025 Proxy Statement and 2024 Annual Report are available at www.proxyvote.com . Under the “Notice and Access” rules approved by the SEC, we are permitted to deliver this proxy statement and our 2024 Annual Report by providing access to the documents on the Internet instead of mailing printed copies. As was the case last year, subject to a shareholder’s contrary election, each shareholder will receive a Notice of Availability in lieu of printed materials. Although the Notice of Availability identifies the items to be voted on at the meeting and how to vote, a shareholder cannot vote shares merely by marking the Notice of Availability and returning it. However, if a shareholder has previously requested a paper copy of our proxy materials (and the request has not been revoked) or if delivery of printed proxy materials is required by law, the shareholder will receive a printed copy of the proxy materials instead of the Notice of Availability. Beginning on the date of mailing of the Notice of Availability, shareholders will be able to access all of the proxy materials on a website referred to in the Notice of Availability. If you received a Notice of Availability and would like to receive free of charge a paper or electronic copy of our proxy materials, you may elect to do so by following the instructions in the Notice of Availability for requesting such materials. To the extent we are not required by law to mail our proxy materials to you in paper form, you can eliminate all such future paper mailings, including mailing of the Notice of Availability, by electing to receive an e-mailthat will provide Internet links to these documents and the online proxy voting website. Opting to receive all future proxy materials electronically will save us the cost of producing and mailing documents to you and will help us conserve natural resources. Requests for electronic delivery may be made at https://enroll.icsdelivery.com/awk.
