Van Valer, has recently touted his status as SJW&#146;s largest stockholder when announcing his support for the Connecticut Water transaction.&#160; In critiquing a potential transaction with California Water, he has highlighted the fact that an all-cash transaction would not be tax-free.&#160; In that regard, we believe that his position as a 30-plus year stockholder with a very low cost-basis in SJW stock creates a severe misalignment of incentives between him and a majority of other stockholders, whom we believe on average have a significantly higher cost basis.</p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt .25in;"><b><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;font-weight:bold;">As a board member, Mr.&nbsp;Van Valer has a fiduciary duty to <u>all stockholders</u>, not just the family trust vehicles that he serves.</font></b></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">In our view, the SJW Board and management team owe some answers to their stockholders. For example:</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">This news release contains forward-looking statements .

Such words as would, expects, intends, plans, believes, estimates, assumes, anticipates, projects, predicts, forecasts or variations of such words or similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. The forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance. They are subject to uncertainty and changes in circumstances. Actual results may vary materially from what is contained in a forward-looking statement.
