<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have entered into an equity distribution agreement (the "equity distribution agreement") with Morgan Stanley&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Co.&nbsp;LLC,
Robert W. Baird&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Co. Incorporated, Blaylock Van,&nbsp;LLC and Wells Fargo Securities,&nbsp;LLC (each, a "Manager" and, together, the "Managers"), relating to shares of our common
stock, $0.01 par value per share, offered by this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
accordance with the terms of the equity distribution agreement, we may offer and sell shares of our common stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $300,000,000 from time to
time through the Managers, acting as our sales agents. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
common stock is listed on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") under the symbol "CWT." On October&nbsp;29, 2019, the last reported sale price of our common stock on the NYSE was
$54.20 per share. </FONT></P>

evaluating an investment in the shares.</B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sales of our common stock, if any, under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, may be made by any method deemed to be an "at
the market" offering as defined in Rule&nbsp;415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Managers are not required to sell any specific number or
dollar amount of securities, but will act as our sales agents using commercially reasonable efforts consistent with their normal trading and sales practices, on the terms and subject to the conditions
of the equity distribution agreement, to sell the common stock offered on terms agreed by the Managers and us. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
will pay the applicable Manager a commission equal to 1.00% of the gross offering proceeds of the shares of common stock sold under the equity distribution agreement. In connection
with the sale of the common stock on our behalf, each Manager may be deemed to be an "underwriter" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation of each Manager may be deemed to be
underwriting commissions or discounts. We have also agreed to provide indemnification and contribution to the Managers with respect to certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act or the Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. See "Plan of Distribution" beginning on page&nbsp;S-13 of this prospectus supplement for additional information, including regarding the compensation to
be paid to the Managers. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;This prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference contain forward-looking statements within
the meaning established by the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Forward-looking
statements in this prospectus supplement, the accompanying prospectus and in the documents incorporated by reference are based on currently available information,
expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections, and our management's beliefs, assumptions, judgments and expectations about us, the water utility industry and general economic conditions. These
statements are not statements of historical fact. When used in our documents, statements that are not historical in nature, including words like "expects," "intends," "plans," "believes," "may,"
"estimates," "assumes," "anticipates," "projects," "predicts," "forecasts," "should," "seeks," or variations of these words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.
The forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. They are based on numerous assumptions that we believe are reasonable, but they are open to a wide range of uncertainties and
business risks. Consequently, actual results may vary materially from what is contained in a forward-looking statement. </FONT></P>

issuances of securities.  </I></B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The price per share of our common stock being offered may be higher than the net tangible book value per share of our outstanding common stock
prior to this offering. To the extent outstanding restricted stock units or restricted stock awards are vested and settled, there will be further dilution to new investors. In addition, we may issue
additional securities in the future, including shares of common stock, securities that are convertible into or exchangeable for, or that represent the right to receive, common stock or substantially
similar securities. The price per share at which we sell additional shares of our common stock, or securities convertible or exchangeable into common stock, in future transactions may be higher or
lower than the price per share paid by investors in this offering and investors purchasing shares or other securities in the future could have rights superior to existing shareowners. </FONT></P>

acquisition expenditures, investments and repurchases and redemptions of securities. Our management will have broad discretion in the application of the net proceeds from this offering and could spend
the proceeds in ways that do not improve our results of operations or enhance the value of our common stock. Accordingly, you will be relying on the judgment of our management with regard to the use
of net proceeds, and you will not have the opportunity, as part of your investment decision, to assess whether the proceeds are being used appropriately. Our failure to apply these funds effectively
could have a material adverse effect on our business and cause the price of our common stock to decline. Pending their use, we plan to invest the net proceeds from this offering in short- and
intermediate-term, interest-bearing obligations, investment-grade instruments, certificates of deposit or direct or guaranteed obligations of the U.S. government. These investments may not yield a
favorable return to our stockholders. If we do not invest or apply the net proceeds from this offering in ways that enhance stockholder value, we may fail to achieve expected financial results, which

price of our common stock during the sales period and limits we set with the Managers. Because the price per share of each share sold will fluctuate based on the market price of our common stock
during the sales period, it is not possible at this stage to predict the number of shares that will be ultimately issued. </FONT></P>

ownership and sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our common stock that is purchased pursuant to this offering. This discussion does not provide a complete analysis of all potential U.S.
federal income or other tax considerations. The information provided below is based upon provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or Code, Treasury regulations promulgated
thereunder, administrative rulings and judicial decisions, in each case, as currently in effect. These authorities may change at any time, possibly on a
retroactive basis, or may be subject to differing interpretations. We have not sought and will not seek any rulings from the Internal Revenue Service, or the IRS, regarding the matters discussed
below. There can be no assurance the IRS or a court will not take a contrary position to that discussed below regarding the tax consequences of the ownership and disposition of our common stock. </FONT></P>

Distributions  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A distribution on shares of our common stock will generally constitute a dividend for U.S. federal income tax purposes to the extent paid from
our current or accumulated earnings and profits, as determined under U.S. federal income tax principles. A distribution in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits will constitute a
return of capital that is applied against and reduces, but not below zero, a non-U.S. holder's adjusted tax basis in shares of our common stock. Any remaining excess will be treated as gain realized
on the sale, exchange or other taxable disposition of our common stock. See "&#151;Sale of Common Stock." </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Subject
to discussions below on backup withholding and FATCA (as defined below), any distribution made to a non-U.S. holder on our common stock that is not effectively connected with a
non-U.S. holder's conduct of a trade or business in the United States and is treated as a dividend for federal income tax purposes will generally be subject to U.S. withholding tax at a 30% rate (or
such lower rate specified by an applicable income tax treaty, provided the Non-U.S. Holder furnishes a valid IRS Form&nbsp;W-8BEN or W-8BEN-E (or other applicable documentation) certifying
qualification for the lower treaty rate). A Non-U.S. Holder that does not timely furnish the required documentation, but that
qualifies for a reduced treaty rate, may obtain a refund of any excess amounts withheld by timely filing an appropriate claim for refund with the IRS. Non-U.S. Holders should consult their tax
advisors regarding their entitlement to benefits under any applicable income tax treaty. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Distributions
received by a non-U.S. holder that are treated as dividends for U.S. federal income tax purposes, are effectively connected with a U.S. trade or business conducted by the

</UL>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gain
described in the first bullet point above generally will be subject to U.S. federal income tax at the same graduated rates applicable to U.S. persons, net of certain deductions and
credits. A non-U.S. holder that is a corporation may also be subject to a "branch profits tax" at a rate of 30% (or such lower rate as specified by an applicable income tax treaty) on such effectively
connected gain, as adjusted for certain items. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Gain
described in the second bullet point above will be subject to a flat 30% tax (or such reduced rate as may be specified by an applicable income tax treaty) which may be offset by
U.S.-source capital losses of the non-U.S. holder (even though the individual is not considered a resident of the United States), provided that the non-U.S. holder has timely filed U.S. federal income
tax returns with respect to such losses. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;With
respect to the third bullet point above, we believe we currently are not, and do not anticipate becoming, a USRPHC. Because the determination of whether we are a USRPHC depends,
however, on the fair market value of our USRPIs relative to the fair market value of our non-U.S. real property interests and our other business assets, there can be no assurance we currently are not
a USRPHC or will not become one in the future. Even if we are or were to become a USRPHC, gain arising from the sale or other taxable disposition by a Non-U.S. Holder of our common stock will not be
subject to U.S. federal income tax if our common stock is "regularly traded," as defined by applicable Treasury Regulations, on an established securities market, and such Non-U.S. Holder owned,
actually and constructively, 5% or less of our common stock throughout the shorter of the five-year period ending on the date of the sale or other taxable disposition or the Non-U.S. Holder's holding
period. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Non-U.S.
Holders should consult their tax advisors regarding potentially applicable income tax treaties that may provide for different rules. </FONT></P>

Backup Withholding and Information Reporting  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Payments of dividends on our common stock will not be subject to backup withholding, provided the applicable withholding agent does not have
actual knowledge or reason to know the holder is a United States person and the holder either certifies its non-U.S. status, such as by furnishing a valid IRS Form&nbsp;W-8BEN, W-8BEN-E or W-8ECI,
or otherwise establishes an exemption. However, information returns are required to be filed with the IRS in connection with any dividends on our common stock paid to the Non-U.S. Holder, regardless
of whether any tax was actually withheld. In addition, proceeds of the sale or other taxable disposition of our common stock within the United States or conducted through certain U.S.-related brokers
generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting, if the applicable withholding agent receives the certification described above and does not have actual knowledge or
reason to know that such holder is a United States person, or the holder otherwise establishes an exemption. Proceeds of a disposition of our common stock conducted through a non-U.S. office of a
non-U.S. broker that does not have certain enumerated relationships with the United States generally will not be subject to backup withholding or information reporting. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Backup
withholding is not an additional tax. Any amounts withheld from a payment to a non-U.S. holder of our common stock under the backup withholding rules can be credited against any
U.S. federal income tax liability of the non-U.S. holder and may entitle the non-U.S. holder to a refund from the IRS, provided that the required information is furnished to the IRS in a timely
manner. </FONT></P>

Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act, or FATCA  </B></FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A U.S. federal withholding tax of 30% may apply to dividends and, subject to the discussion of certain proposed U.S. Treasury regulations below,
the gross proceeds of a disposition of our common stock paid to a foreign financial institution (as specifically defined by applicable rules), including when the foreign financial institution holds
our common stock on behalf of a non-U.S. holder, unless such institution enters into an agreement with the U.S. government to withhold on certain payments and to collect and provide to the U.S. tax
authorities certain information regarding U.S. account holders of such institution (which may include certain equity holders of such institution, as well as certain account holders that are foreign
entities with U.S. owners). Foreign financial institutions
located in jurisdictions that have an intergovernmental agreement with the United States governing these withholding and reporting requirements may be subject to different rules. This U.S. federal
withholding tax of 30% applies to dividends on and, subject to the discussion of certain proposed U.S. Treasury regulations below, would also apply to the gross proceeds of a disposition of, our
common stock paid to a non-financial foreign entity unless such entity provides the withholding agent with either a certification that it does not have any "substantial United States owners" (as
defined in the Code) or provides identifying information regarding each such substantial United States owner of the entity. The withholding tax described above will not apply if the foreign financial
institution or non-financial foreign entity otherwise qualifies for an exemption from these rules. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
U.S. Treasury recently released proposed regulations which, if finalized in their present form, would eliminate the federal withholding tax of 30% applicable to the gross proceeds of
a sale or other disposition of our common stock. Taxpayers may generally rely on the proposed regulations until final regulations are issued. Non-U.S. holders should consult their own tax advisors
regarding the possible implications of FATCA on their investment in our common stock. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We have entered into the equity distribution agreement, dated October&nbsp;31, 2019 with Morgan Stanley&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Co.&nbsp;LLC, Robert
W. Baird&nbsp;&amp;&nbsp;Co. Incorporated, Blaylock Van,&nbsp;LLC and Wells Fargo Securities,&nbsp;LLC, providing for the offer and sale of shares of our common stock having an aggregate gross
sales price of up to $300,000,000, from time to time through the Managers, acting as our sales agents. The equity distribution agreement will be filed as an exhibit to our Quarterly Report on
Form&nbsp;10-Q for the quarter ended September&nbsp;30, 2019. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Sales
of shares of our common stock, if any, as contemplated by this prospectus supplement made through the Managers, as our sales agents, may be made by any method deemed to be an "at
the market" offering as defined in Rule&nbsp;415(a)(4) promulgated under the Securities Act, including by means of ordinary brokers' transactions on the NYSE at market prices or as otherwise agreed
between us and the Managers. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Each
time we wish to issue and sell shares of our common stock under the equity distribution agreement, we will notify the Managers of the maximum number of shares to be sold, the
minimum price per share at which such shares may be sold and other sales parameters as we deem appropriate. None of the Managers is required to sell any specific number or dollar amount of shares of
our common stock, but each has agreed, subject to the terms and conditions of the equity distribution agreement, to use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with its normal trading and
sales practices to sell shares of our common stock on the terms agreed upon by the Managers and us. We or the Managers may suspend the offering of common stock at any time and from time to time by
notifying the other party. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
applicable Manager will provide written confirmation to us following the close of trading on the NYSE each day in which shares of our common stock are sold under the equity
distribution agreement. Each confirmation will include the number of shares of common stock sold on such day, the gross offering proceeds received from such sale and the compensation payable by us to
the applicable Manager in respect to such sales. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
will report at least quarterly the number of shares of common stock sold through the Managers pursuant to the equity distribution agreement, the net proceeds received by us from such
sales and the compensation paid by us to the Managers with respect to such sales. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
will pay the Managers commissions for their services in acting as agents in the sale of our shares. The Managers will be entitled to compensation at a commission equal to 1.00% of the
gross offering proceeds of the shares of common stock sold under the equity distribution agreement. Because there is no minimum offering amount required as a condition to closing this offering, the
actual total public offering amount, commissions and proceeds to us, if any, are not determinable at this time. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
estimate that the total expenses for the offering, excluding compensation and reimbursements payable to the Managers under the terms of the equity distribution agreement, will be
approximately $1.1&nbsp;million. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Settlement
for sales of our common stock will occur on the second trading day following the date on which any sales are made, or such earlier day as is industry practice for regular-way
trading, in return for payment of the net proceeds to us. Sales of our shares of common stock as contemplated in this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus will be settled through the
facilities of The Depository Trust Company or by such other means as we and the Managers agree upon. There is no arrangement for funds to be received in an escrow, trust or similar arrangement. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
connection with the sale of our common stock on our behalf, the Managers may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the compensation of the
Managers may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts. We have agreed to provide </FONT></P>

Managers and their affiliates have, from time to time, provided, and may in the future provide, various investment banking, commercial banking and/or other financial services for us
and our affiliates in the ordinary course of business, for which services they have and may in the future receive customary fees. An affiliate of a Manager is a lender under certain of our and our
affiliates' credit facilities. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
addition, in the ordinary course of their business activities, the Managers and their respective affiliates may make or hold a broad array of investments and actively trade debt and
equity securities (or related derivative securities) and financial instruments (including bank loans) for their own account and for the accounts of their customers. Such investments and securities
activities may involve securities and/or instruments of ours. In the case of any Managers or their respective affiliates that have lending relationships with us, certain of those Managers and/or
affiliates may routinely hedge, and certain other of those Managers and affiliates may hedge, their credit exposure to us consistent with their customary risk management policy. Typically, those
Managers or affiliates would hedge such exposure by entering into transactions, which may consist of either the purchase of credit default swaps or the creation of short positions in our securities.
The Managers and their respective affiliates may also make investment recommendations and/or publish or express independent research views in respect of such securities or financial instruments and
may hold, or recommend to clients that they acquire, long and/or short positions in such securities and instruments. To the extent required by Regulation&nbsp;M, the Managers will not engage in any
market making activities involving our common stock while the offering is ongoing under this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;California
Water Service Company, New Mexico Water Service Company, Washington Water Service Company, and Hawaii Water Service Company,&nbsp;Inc. are regulated public utilities. The
regulated utility entities also provide some non-regulated services. CWS Utility Services and HWS Utility Services hold non-utility property and provide non-regulated services to private companies and
municipalities outside of California. California Water Service Company was the original operating company and began operations in 1926. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Our
business is conducted through our operating subsidiaries and we provide utility services to approximately two million people. The bulk of the business consists of the production,
purchase, storage, treatment, testing, distribution and sale of water for domestic, industrial, public and irrigation uses, and for fire protection. In some areas we provide wastewater collections and
treatment services, including treatment which allows water recycling. We also provide non-regulated water-related services under agreements with municipalities and other private companies. The
non-regulated services include full water system operation, billing and meter reading services. Non-regulated operations also include the lease of communication antenna sites, lab services and
promotion of other non-regulated services. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
we use underwriters in the sale, the underwriters will acquire the securities for their own account and they may resell them from time to time in one or more transactions, including
negotiated transactions, at a fixed public offering price or at varying prices determined at the time of sale. Underwriting syndicates represented by one or more managing underwriters or one or more
independent firms acting as underwriters may offer the securities to the public. In connection with the sale of securities, we may compensate the underwriters in the form of underwriting discounts and
commissions. The purchasers of the securities for whom the underwriters may act as agent may also pay them commissions. Underwriters may sell the securities to or through dealers, and these dealers
may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the underwriters and/or commissions from the purchasers for whom they may act as agents. Unless otherwise set forth
in the applicable prospectus supplement, the obligations of any underwriters to purchase the securities will be subject to conditions precedent, and the underwriters will be obligated to purchase all
of the securities if any are purchased. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
we use dealers in the sale of the securities, we will sell the securities to the dealers as principals. The dealers may then resell the securities to the public at varying prices to
be determined by the dealer at the time of resale. The applicable prospectus supplement will name any dealer, who may be deemed to be an underwriter, as that term is defined in the Securities Act,
involved in the offer or sale of securities, and set forth any commissions or discounts we grant to the dealer. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
we use agents in the sales of the securities, the agents may solicit offers to purchase the securities from time to time. Any of these agents, who may be deemed to be an underwriter,

prospectus supplement. Any agent will be acting on a reasonable efforts basis for the period of its appointment or, if indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, on a firm commitment basis. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We

that any shares of our common stock sold will be sold at prices related to the then prevailing market prices for our securities. Therefore, exact figures regarding net proceeds to us or
commissions to be paid are impossible to determine and will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. The terms of each such distribution agreement will be set forth in more detail in the
applicable prospectus supplement. If we offer to sell shares of our common stock through another broker dealer acting as underwriter, then such named underwriter may engage in certain transactions
that stabilize, maintain or otherwise affect the price of our shares. We will describe any such activities in the applicable prospectus supplement relating to the transaction. To the extent that any
named broker dealer or agent acts as agent on a best efforts basis pursuant to the terms of a distribution agreement, such broker dealer or agent will not engage in any such stabilization
transactions. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;We
may also sell securities directly to institutional investors or others who may be deemed to be underwriters within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to resales. The terms
of those sales would be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, we will authorize agents, underwriters and dealers to solicit offers to purchase securities from us at the public offering price set
forth in the applicable prospectus supplement pursuant to stock purchase or delayed delivery contracts providing for payment and delivery on a specified date in the future. The contracts will be
subject only to those conditions set forth in the applicable prospectus supplement, and the applicable prospectus supplement will set forth the commission payable for solicitation of the contracts. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Agents,
dealers and underwriters may be entitled under agreements with us to indemnification against certain civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, or to
contribution with respect to payments which the agents, dealers or underwriters may be required to make. Agents, dealers and underwriters or their affiliates may engage in transactions with, or
perform services for, us or our subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business for which they receive customary compensation. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;If
indicated in the applicable prospectus supplement, one or more firms may offer and sell securities in connection with a remarketing upon their purchase, in accordance with their
terms, acting as principals for their own accounts or as our agents. Any remarketing firm will be identified and the terms of its agreement, if any, with us will be described in the applicable
prospectus supplement. We may be obligated to indemnify the remarketing firm against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, and the remarketing firm may engage in
transactions with or perform services for us or our subsidiaries for customary compensation. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Any
underwriter may engage in over-allotment, stabilizing and syndicate short covering transactions and penalty bids in accordance with Regulation&nbsp;M under the Exchange Act.
Over-allotment involves sales in excess of the offering size, which creates a short position. Stabilizing transactions involve bids to purchase the underlying security so long as the stabilizing bids
do not exceed a specified maximum. Syndicate short covering transactions involve purchases of securities in the open market after the distribution has been completed in order to cover syndicate short
positions. Penalty bids permit the underwriters to reclaim selling concessions from dealers when the securities originally sold by the dealers are purchased in covering transactions to cover syndicate
short positions. These transactions may cause the price of the securities sold in an offering to be higher than it would otherwise be. These transactions, if commenced, may be discontinued by the
underwriters at any time. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
applicable prospectus supplement relating to each offering will set forth the anticipated date of delivery of the securities. </FONT></P>

<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The
specific terms of any lock-up provisions in respect of any given offering will be described in the applicable prospectus supplement. </FONT></P>


<P style="font-family:times;"><FONT SIZE=2>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;In
compliance with the guidelines of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority,&nbsp;Inc. ("FINRA") the maximum consideration or discount to be received by any FINRA member or
independent broker dealer may not exceed 8% of the aggregate proceeds of the offering. </FONT></P>
