Completion Bonuses

American Water offered a “completion bonus” to reward selected senior executives for their contributions to the initial public offering. Each eligible executive had the opportunity to receive a cash bonus based on a percentage of his or her base salary in effect on December 31, 2007. A completion bonus of 50% of each executive’s base salary was payable based solely on the consummation of the initial public offering, and the remaining portion of the completion bonus was payable at the discretion of RWE, based upon the executive’s leadership and support in positively marketing the business and preparing for the initial public offering. Completion bonuses were paid on April 21, 2008.
