Dear Shareholders:
You have previously received proxy materials in connection with SJW Corp.’s annual shareholder meeting to be held on April 29, 2015. According to our latest records, your proxy vote for this meeting has not yet been received.
At this meeting you are being asked, among other things, to approve the reincorporation of SJW Corp. from California to Delaware as more fully described in the proxy statement that was previously mailed or provided to you. The Board of Directors approved this proposal and unanimously recommends you vote FOR the proposal.
Your vote is important to approve the proposal. Approval of this proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote. Accordingly, if you do not vote, it will have the effect of a vote against this proposal. Your broker allows you to vote your shares telephonically or via the internet if you wish. Follow the instructions on the enclosed proxy card to cast your vote. Remember, your broker cannot vote your shares until you instruct him or her to do so.
If you have not already done so, please vote today.
Thank you in advance for your support.
BY ORDER OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
W. Richard Roth
President, Chief Executive Officer and
Chairman of the Board
