On April 27, 2006, the shareholders of SJW Corp. (the "Company") approved an amendment to the Company's Long-Term Incentive Plan (the "Plan"). Such amendment is attached as Appendix B to the Proxy Statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 13, 2006. The amendment provides the Executive Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors (the "ECC") with the authority to award stock options, stock appreciation rights, deferred stock rights, performance shares, dividend equivalent rights and stock bonuses under the Plan to the non-employee Board members at such times, for such number of shares and subject to such terms and conditions as the ECC determines is reasonable and appropriate under the circumstances. However, the ECC's discretion will at all times be subject to the following new limitations imposed by the amendment: (i) The maximum number of shares of common stock for which any non-employee Board member may be granted awards in a single calendar year is limited to four thousand (4,000) shares, except that such limit will increase to ten thousand (10,000) shares for the calendar year in which a non-employee Board member is first appointed or elected to the Board. Each of the foregoing share limitations will be appropriately adjusted for stock dividends, stock splits, recapitalizations and other similar transactions affecting the Company's outstanding common stock. Such limitations, however, will not apply to awards made in connection with the non-employee Board member's election to convert all or a portion of the cash fees payable for Board or Board committee service or attendance at Board or Board committee meetings into deferred or other shares of the Company's common stock at the then current fair market value per share ("elective awards"). (ii) Each award authorized by the ECC (other than elective awards) must be approved and ratified by a majority of the Board. The amendment also provides the ECC with the discretion to implement one or more automatic grant programs pursuant to which the non-employee Board members would receive awards in such amounts, at such times and subject to such terms as the ECC may designate in advance. The ECC can also implement one or more programs which provide the non-employee Board members with the opportunity to elect to receive specific types of awards, either on a current or deferred basis, in lieu of retainer or meeting fees otherwise payable to them in cash for their service as Board members and/or as members of one or more Board committees. The amendment also made a series of technical revisions to the plan document in order to reflect recent changes in certain regulatory requirements governing the Plan.
