Explanation of Responses:
1. Represents shares vested pursuant to an award of performance stock units (PSUs) granted in February 2015 under the American Water Works Company, Inc. 2007 Omnibus Equity Compensation Plan (the "Plan"). This award vested on January 25, 2018. PSUs are settled solely by the delivery of one share of common stock per PSU (and may not be settled in cash).
2. Each PSU represented a contingent right to receive one share of Company common stock, based in part on the Company's annual relative total stockholder return over a three-year performance period, beginning on January 1, 2015 and ending December 31, 2017.
3. Represents the above-target earned portion of the TSR performance stock unit. In 2015, the Company granted 2,826 PSUs under the Plan, equal to the number of shares to be received if target performance was achieved.
4. Represents the end of the performance period to which the PSUs relate. This award vested on January 25, 2018.
5. Represents the earned portion of the TSR performance stock units, including target units granted in 2015 and above-target units earned based on TSR performance. The number of TSR performance stock units earned was 175 percent of the target.
