Explanation of Responses:

1. The shares indicated constitute restricted stock units that settle in common stock on a one share per unit basis. The restricted stock units vest in three equal installments on January 1, 2015, 2016 and 2017.

2. Each performance stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of common stock of American Water Works Company, Inc. (the "Company"). The actual number of performance stock units that may be earned will be based on the Company's total stockholder return ("TSR") relative to the performance of the other companies in the Dow Jones U.S. Utility Index over the three-year performance period beginning on January 1, 2014 and ending December 31, 2016. The number of performance stock units shown in column 5 is equal to the target number of performance stock units that may be earned.

3. Represents the end of the performance period to which the performance stock units relate.

4. In previous Form 4s derivative securities with different attributes were erroneously aggregated and reported as one class. In accordance with interpretations of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission, derivatives with different attributes should be reported as different classes of derivatives. Based on these staff interpretations, the newly granted derivative securities are reported herein without aggregation.

5. The options vest in three equal installments on January 1, 2015, 2016 and 2017.
