You may sell your shares through a broker of your choice, or privately. In either case, you would need to request conversion of your full Plan shares into direct registration. If you wish to have your shares registered in the name of a nominee, follow the procedures described in Question 9. Upon receipt of the direct registration confirmation, proceed as you would to sell any other stock that is registered in your name or the name of your nominee.

Please note that if your Plan account holds less than one full share, American Water may direct Equiniti to close the account, liquidate the fractional share and send you a check representing the market value of the fractional share that was in the account, less the $18.00 withdrawal/termination fee.

Also, any sales made or directed by any current employee, officer or director of American Water or any of its subsidiaries must be made or directed in compliance with the American Water Insider Trading and Prohibited Transactions Policy and the Personal Securities Trading and Preclearance Practice, each as may be amended, restated or supplemented from time to time, and any successor or supplemental policy or practice thereto. American Water reserves the right, in its sole discretion and in accordance with the terms of any such policy or practice, to restrict, limit or prohibit the purchase or sale of securities through any Plan account by or for the account of any current employee, officer or director of American Water or any subsidiary.
