WHEREAS, pursuant to the Action by Unanimous Written Consent dated October 9, 2019, the Board authorized the Plan to be amended to provide that the Connecticut Water Company Benefit Plan Administration Committee, and not the Board, shall be responsible for overseeing the Investment Options available under certain Corporate Owned Life Insurance policies owned by the Plan.
