Corporate Name Change to Essential Utilities, Inc.

On January 16, 2020, Aqua America, Inc. (the “Company”) announced its intention to change the name of the Company to Essential Utilities, Inc. in connection with the closing of the pending acquisition of the Peoples Gas entities through its acquisition of LDC Parent, LLC (“Peoples Gas”). The Company believes the name change helps to better align the name of the Company with the anticipated business plan of the Company following the acquisition of Peoples Gas. The name change will become effective on February 3, 2020.

A press release issued by the Company describing the corporate name change and rebranding is filed as an exhibit to this Form 8-K and is incorporated by reference herein.

The Company notes that both the CUSIP number and ticker symbol for its common stock will change as a result of the corporate name change. The new ticker symbol for its common stock will be “WTRG”. The CUSIP number for the Company’s 6.00% Tangible Equity Units will change but the ticker symbol will remain the same.

Effective February 3, 2020, the Company’s website will change to www.essential.co.
