EXHIBIT 3.3
AMENDED AND RESTATED
CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
of
THE CONNECTICUT WATER COMPANY
FIRST: The name of the corporation is THE CONNECTICUT WATER COMPANY
(the "Corporation").
SECOND: The Corporation is to be located in the Town of Clinton, County
of Middlesex and State of Connecticut.
THIRD: The nature of the business to be transacted by the Corporation
shall be that of a water company and any other business permitted to be
transacted by a corporation formed under the Connecticut Business Corporation
Act, and the Corporation may engage in any lawful act or activity for which
corporations may be formed under the Connecticut Business Corporation Act. The
Corporation shall have all of the powers granted to business corporations under
the Connecticut Business Corporation Act. In addition, the Corporation shall
have all of the powers, rights and franchises granted to Connecticut public
service companies or water companies generally, or specially granted to the
Corporation or any company from which the Corporation has acquired such powers,
rights and franchises through merger, acquisition or otherwise (such companies
hereinafter referred to as "constituent companies"), by the provisions of the
Connecticut General Statutes or Connecticut Special Acts, including, without
limitation, the powers, rights and franchises, whether of a public or private
nature, and the special rights, privileges and immunities, to engage in any
business and to carry on its business in any area granted to the Corporation or
its constituent companies by the provisions of the Connecticut Special Acts
listed in Exhibit A to this Certificate of Incorporation, any other Connecticut
Special Acts now or hereafter granted to or acquired by the Corporation or any
companies which may now or hereafter be constituent companies of the
Corporation, and any supplements or amendments to any of said Connecticut
Special Acts, and the Corporation shall continue to be entitled to such
franchises and special rights, privileges and immunities without reciting such
provisions in this Certificate of Incorporation.
FOURTH: The Board of Directors of the Corporation, when evaluating any
offer of another party (i) to make a tender or exchange offer for any equity
security of the Corporation, (ii) to merge or consolidate the Corporation with
or into another corporation, or (iii) to purchase or otherwise acquire all or a
substantial part of the properties and assets of the Corporation or any
2
-2-
of its subsidiaries, may, in connection with the exercise of its judgment in
determining what it reasonably believes is in the best interests of the
Corporation as a whole, give consideration to all such factors as the Board of
Directors determines to be relevant, including, without limitation:
1. interests of the Corporation's stockholders, long-term as
well as short- term, including the possibility that those interests may be best
served by the continued independence of the Corporation;
2. the interests of the customers of the Corporation;
3. whether the proposed transaction might violate federal or
state law;
4. the form and amount of consideration being offered in the
proposed transaction not only in relation to the then-current market price for
the outstanding capital stock of the Corporation, but also in relation to the
market price for the capital stock of the Corporation over a period of years,
the estimated price that might be achieved in a negotiated sale of the
Corporation or Connecticut Water Service, Inc. as a whole or in part to either
public or private entities or through orderly liquidation, the estimated further
value of the Corporation, the premiums over market price paid for the securities
of other corporations in similar transactions, current political, economic and
other factors bearing on securities prices, and the Corporation's financial
condition and future prospects; and
5. the social, legal and economic effects upon employees,
customers, suppliers and others having similar relationships with the
Corporation or Connecticut Water Service, Inc., and the communities in which the
Corporation and Connecticut Water Service, Inc. conduct business, including,
without limitation, the public interest obligations imposed on the Corporation
as an operating public utility and the effect or impact of any such transaction
on the ability of the Corporation, any subsidiaries or any successor entity to
provide prudent, adequate and effective water supply service to the areas served
by the Corporation.
In connection with such evaluation, the Board of Directors may conduct
such investigations and engage in such legal proceedings as the Board of
Directors may determine.
FIFTH: The personal liability of any person who is or was a Director of
the Corporation to the Corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for
breach of duty as a Director is hereby limited to the amount of the compensation
received by the Director for serving the Corporation during the year or years in
which the violation occurred so long as such breach did not (i) involve a
knowing and culpable violation of law by the Director, (ii) enable the Director
or an associate, as defined in Section 33-840 of the Connecticut General
Statutes, to receive an improper personal economic gain, (iii) show a lack of
good faith and a conscious
3
-3-
disregard for the duty of the Director to the Corporation under circumstances in
which the Director was aware that his or her conduct or omission created an
unjustifiable risk of serious injury to the Corporation, (iv) constitute a
sustained and unexcused pattern of inattention that amounted to an abdication of
the Director's duty to the Corporation, or (v) create liability under Section
33-757 of the Connecticut General Statutes. Any lawful repeal or modification of
this provision of the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation by the
stockholders and the Board of Directors of the Corporation shall not adversely
affect any right or protection of a person who is or was a Director of the
Corporation existing at or prior to the time of such repeal or modification.
SIXTH: A. The Corporation shall, to the fullest extent permitted by
law, indemnify its Directors from and against any and all of the liabilities,
expenses and other matters referred to in or covered by the Connecticut Business
Corporation Act. In furtherance and not in limitation thereof, the Corporation
shall indemnify each Director for liability, as defined in subsection (5) of
Section 33-770 of the Connecticut General Statutes, to any person for any action
taken, or any failure to take any action, as a Director, except liability that
(i) involved a knowing and culpable violation of law by the Director, (ii)
enabled the Director or an associate, as defined in Section 33-840 of the
Connecticut General Statutes, to receive an improper personal economic gain,
(iii) showed a lack of good faith and a conscious disregard for the duty of the
Director to the Corporation under circumstances in which the Director was aware
that his or her conduct or omission created an unjustifiable risk of serious
injury to the Corporation, (iv) constituted a sustained and unexcused pattern of
inattention that amounted to an abdication of the Director's duty to the
Corporation, or (v) created liability under Section 33-757 of the Connecticut
General Statutes; provided that nothing in this sentence shall affect the
indemnification of or advance of expenses to a Director for any liability
stemming from acts or omissions occurring prior to the effective date of this
Article SIXTH.
The Corporation shall indemnify each officer of the Corporation who is
not a Director, or who is a Director but is made a party to a proceeding in his
or her capacity solely as an officer, to the same extent as the Corporation is
permitted to provide the same to a Director, and may indemnify such persons to
the extent permitted by Section 33-776 of the Connecticut General Statutes.
The indemnification provided for herein shall not be deemed exclusive
of any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under any Bylaw,
agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested Directors or otherwise, both as
to action in such person's official capacity and as to action in another
capacity while holding such office, and shall continue as to a person who has
ceased to be a Director or officer and shall inure to the benefit of the heirs,
executors and administrators of such a person.
4
-4-
B. Expenses incurred by a Director or officer of the Corporation in
defending a civil or criminal action, suit or proceeding shall be paid for or
reimbursed by the Corporation to the fullest extent permitted by law in advance
of the final disposition of such action, suit or proceeding upon receipt of an
undertaking by or on behalf of such Director or officer to repay such amount if
it shall be ultimately determined that such Director or officer is not entitled
to be indemnified by the Corporation.
C. The Corporation may indemnify and pay for or reimburse the expenses
of employees and agents not otherwise entitled to indemnification pursuant to
this Article SIXTH on such terms and conditions as may be established by the
Board of Directors.
D. No amendment to or repeal of this Article SIXTH shall apply to or
have any effect on the indemnification of any Director, officer, employee or
agent of the Corporation for or with respect to any acts or omissions of such
Director, officer, employee or agent occurring prior to such amendment or
repeal, nor shall any such amendment or repeal apply to or have any effect on
the obligations of the Corporation to pay for or reimburse in advance expenses
incurred by a Director, officer, employee or agent of the Corporation in
defending any action, suit or proceeding arising out of or with respect to any
acts or omissions occurring prior to such amendment or repeal.
SEVENTH: The amount of the capital stock of the Corporation hereby
authorized is (a) $5,000,000, divided into 50,000 shares of Cumulative Preferred
Stock of the par value of $100 each, and (b) 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock
without par value.
A. The voting powers, restrictions and qualifications of the Common
Stock shall be as follows:
1. The holders of the Common Stock shall each be entitled to
one (1) vote per share.
2. No holder of Common Stock shall be entitled as such as a
matter of right to subscribe for or purchase any part of any stock of any class
of the Corporation or securities convertible into such stock now or hereafter
authorized or issued.
B. The general preferences, voting powers, restrictions and
qualifications of the Cumulative Preferred Stock of the par value of $100 per
share (hereinafter called the "Preferred Stock") shall be as follows:
1. Authorized Amount of Preferred Stock. The authorized amount
of Preferred Stock subject to this Article SEVENTH, unless increased in
accordance with the
5
-5-
provisions of this Certificate of Incorporation, shall be $5,000,000, consisting
of 50,000 shares of the par value of $100 per share. Said shares may, subject to
the provisions of this Article SEVENTH, be issued from time to time in one or
more series in such amounts, on such terms and for such considerations as may be
determined and authorized by the requisite vote of the stockholders or of the
Board of Directors. The series designation, dividend rate, redemption prices,
and other special rights, if any, of each series of the Preferred Stock shall be
as determined and authorized by the requisite vote of the stockholders or of the
Board of Directors.
All shares of Preferred Stock shall be of equal rank with each other,
regardless of series, and all shares thereof shall be identical except as to the
above referenced special rights, and in respect to any or all of which there may
be variation between different series as fixed and determined by the requisite
vote of the stockholders of the Board of Directors. All shares of Preferred
Stock of any one series shall be identical with each other in all respects.
2. Dividends. The holders of any series of the Preferred Stock
shall receive, when declared by the Board of Directors, preferential dividends
at the rate provided for such series and payable quarterly on such dividend
payment dates in each year as the stockholders or said Board may determine, such
dividends to be payable to Preferred Stockholders of record on such dates as may
be fixed by vote of the stockholders or of the Board of Directors, but not more
than forty-five (45) days before each dividend payment date.
Dividends on each share of the Preferred Stock shall be cumulative from
the date of issue thereof or from such date as the stockholders or Board of
Directors may determine.
Unless full cumulative dividends to the last preceding dividend payment
date shall have been paid or set apart for payment on all outstanding shares of
Preferred Stock, no dividend (other than a dividend in shares of junior stock)
shall be paid on any junior stock. The term "junior stock" as used herein means
Common Stock or any other stock of the Corporation subordinate to the Preferred
Stock in respect of dividends or payments in liquidation.
So long as any shares of the Preferred Stock shall be outstanding, the
Corporation will not apply any sum to the redemption, retirement or purchase of
any share of any junior stock nor to the payment of any dividend or other
disbursement thereon (exclusive of dividends payable in its junior stock), if,
after such application shall have been made, the aggregate of such sum and all
sums so applied since December 31, 1974, would exceed the aggregate of its net
income since said date (treated as one accounting period), plus $500,000;
provided, however, that nothing herein contained shall be construed so as to
prevent the Corporation from retiring any shares of its junior stock in exchange
for the issue of additional shares of its junior stock, or from redeeming,
retiring or from purchasing shares of its junior stock to the extent of the cash
proceeds received from the sale of any such additional shares.
6
-6-
So long as any shares of the Preferred Stock shall be outstanding the
Corporation will not limit or restrict the payment of dividends on, or the
making of any sinking fund payments on account of, any series of the Preferred
Stock unless an amount equal to the total of the dividend requirement and
sinking fund requirement on all outstanding shares of Preferred Stock for a
period of one (1) year is excluded from such limitation or restriction on the
payment of dividends or the making of sinking fund payments.
3. Redemption or Purchase of Preferred Stock. Except as may be
otherwise provided with respect to any particular series of the Preferred Stock,
all or any part of any series of the Preferred Stock at any time outstanding may
be redeemed by vote of the Board of Directors at any time or by the operation of
a sinking fund, if any, at the then current redemption price provided for such
series and in the manner hereinbelow provided and without redeeming any part or
all of any other series of the Preferred Stock. If less than all of any series
of the Preferred Stock is to be redeemed, the transfer agent shall determine by
lot or in some other proper manner approved by the Board of Directors the shares
of such series of Preferred Stock to be redeemed.
Except for redemption effected by the operation of a sinking fund, no
redemption of less than all of the Preferred Stock outstanding shall be made
without setting aside an amount equal to the dividends accumulated to the
dividend payment date next following the redemption date fixed in such call on
all of the Preferred Stock then outstanding and not called, or to such
redemption date, if such date is a dividend payment date.
The sums payable in respect of any Preferred Stock to be redeemed shall
be payable at the office of a Connecticut incorporated bank or trust company in
good standing having a capital and surplus of not less than $1,000,000. Notice
of the redemption, stating the redemption date and the place where the
redemption price of the stock to be redeemed is payable, shall be mailed not
less than thirty (30) days before the redemption date to each holder of stock so
to be redeemed at his address as it appears upon the books of the Corporation.
The Corporation shall, before the redemption date, deposit with said
bank or trust company all sums payable with respect to the Preferred Stock so
called. After such mailing and deposit the holders of the Preferred Stock to be
redeemed shall cease to have any right to future dividends or other rights or
privileges as stockholders in respect of such stock and shall be entitled to
look for payment on and after the redemption date only to the sums so deposited
with said bank or trust company for their respective accounts. Stock so redeemed
may be reissued but only subject to the limitations imposed by this Article
SEVENTH upon the issue of Preferred Stock.
Except as may be otherwise provided with respect to any particular
series of the Preferred
7
-7-
\
Stock at any time when there is no default in the payment of any dividend on the
Preferred Stock and there is no event of default within the meaning of
Subparagraph 5 of Paragraph B of this Article SEVENTH, the Corporation may
purchase all or any of the then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock of any
series upon the best terms reasonably obtainable, but not exceeding the then
current redemption price of such shares.
4. Amounts Payable on Liquidation. The holders of any series
of the Preferred Stock shall receive upon any voluntary liquidation, dissolution
or winding-up of the Corporation the then current redemption price (other than
any sinking fund redemption price) of the series in question and if such action
is involuntary, $100 per share, plus in each case all dividends accrued and
unpaid to the date of such payment, before any payment in liquidation is made on
any junior stock.
If the net assets of the Corporation available for distribution on
liquidation to the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to pay
said amount in full, then such net assets shall be distributed pro rata among
the holders of the Preferred Stock to the extent available.
5. Voting Powers. Except as provided in this Article SEVENTH
and as provided by law, the holders of the Preferred Stock shall have no voting
power or right to notice of any meeting.
Whenever dividends on any share of the Preferred Stock shall be in
arrears in an amount equal to or exceeding four (4) quarterly dividend payments,
or whenever the Corporation shall fail to meet fully any sinking fund obligation
of any series of the Preferred Stock, or whenever there shall have occurred some
default in the observance of any of the provisions of this Article SEVENTH, or
some default on which action has been taken by debenture holders, bondholders or
the trustee of any deed of trust or indenture of mortgage of the Corporation, or
whenever the Corporation shall have been declared bankrupt or a receiver of its
property shall have been appointed (any of said conditions being herein called
an "event of default"), then the holders of the Preferred Stock shall be given
notice of all stockholders' meetings and shall have the right, voting together
as a class, to elect the largest number of Directors constituting a minority of
the members of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, but in not event less
than two (2). After all arrears of dividends shall have been paid and all
sinking fund obligations shall have been fully met, and any event of default
shall have terminated, all the rights and powers of the holders of the Preferred
Stock to receive notice and to so vote shall continue for one (1) year
thereafter but shall at the end of such one (1) year period, cease, subject to
being again revived on any subsequent event of default.
When the holders of the Preferred Stock shall have acquired the right
to elect a minority of the Board of Directors, or such right shall cease, the
Corporation shall, promptly after the first
8
-8-
delivery to the Corporation of a written request therefor by any stockholder,
cause a meeting of the stockholders to be held not less than forty-five (45)
days nor more than ninety (90) days after the delivery of such request for the
purpose of electing a new Board of Directors. Forthwith, upon the election and
qualification of the new Board of Directors, the terms of office of the existing
Directors shall terminate.
6. Action Requiring Consent of Preferred Stockholders. The
dividend rate or the amounts payable upon redemption or liquidation with respect
to any share of the Preferred Stock outstanding shall not be reduced without the
consent of the holder of such share.
Without the consent of the holders of two-thirds (2/3) of the total
number of shares of the Preferred Stock outstanding, the Corporation shall not:
(a) Change the general preferences, voting powers,
restrictions and qualifications of the Preferred Stock, but no other consent
shall be required for such a change.
(b) Issue any additional shares, or reissue any
reacquired shares, of Preferred Stock or of any other stock ranking on a parity
with the Preferred Stock as to dividends or assets, for any purpose other than
to refinance Preferred Stock or stock ranking on a parity with Preferred Stock
as to dividends or assets at the time outstanding to an amount not exceeding the
aggregate amount payable thereon upon involuntary liquidation, unless:
(i) the gross income of the Corporation
(computed in accordance with the Uniform Systems of Accounts prescribed by the
Department of Public Utility Control of the State of Connecticut or any
regulatory body which may succeed to the jurisdiction of said Department of
Public Utility Control) for twelve (12) consecutive calendar months ending not
more than ninety (90) days before the date of such issuance is equal to at least
one and one-half (1 1/2) times the aggregate of the annual interest charges on
all outstanding long-term indebtedness of the Corporation (excluding interest
charges on such indebtedness to be retired by the application of the proceeds
from the issuance of such shares) and the annual dividend requirements on all
Preferred Stock (including dividend requirements on any class of stock ranking
on a parity with the outstanding Preferred Stock, as to dividends or assets),
which will be outstanding immediately after the issuance of such shares; and
(ii) immediately after the issuance of such
shares the aggregate of (A) the par value of the Corporation's Preferred Stock
and (B) the principal amount of all long-term indebtedness, is not more than
seventy percent (70%) of the aggregate of (x) the principal amount of all
long-term indebtedness, (y) the par value of, or stated capital represented by
the Corporation's outstanding Preferred Stock and junior stock, and (z) the
amount of the Corporation's surplus (both capital and earned ) as stated on the
Corporation's books.
9
-9-
7. Merger, Consolidation or Sale of All Assets. With the
approval of the holders of that number of shares of the Preferred Stock as may
be required by law, the Corporation may merge or consolidate with or be merged
into any other corporation, or sell or mortgage substantially all of its assets
subject to the provisions, if any, of any indenture of mortgage or deed of trust
or charter of the Corporation, or of any applicable law, provided that no such
merger or consolidation may be effected if as a result thereof any shares of
stock ranking prior to the Preferred Stock as to dividends or assets would be
and remain outstanding.
8. No Preemptive Right. The holders of the Preferred Stock
shall have no preemptive right to subscribe to any future issue of additional
shares of the Preferred Stock or of any other preferred stock or of Common Stock
or of any other class of stock now or hereafter authorized, or to any future
issue of bonds, debentures, notes or other evidences of indebtedness, whether or
not convertible into stock.
9. Immunity of Directors, Officers and Agents. No Director,
officer or agent of the Corporation shall be held personally responsible for any
action taken in good faith though subsequently adjudged to be in violation of
this Article SEVENTH.
10. Transfer Agent. The Corporation shall always have at least
one (1) transfer agent for the Preferred Stock, which may be the Corporation or
a Connecticut incorporated bank or trust company of good standing having a
capital and surplus of not less than $1,000,000.
EIGHTH: Reference in this Certificate of Incorporation to a provision

forth in such Statutes is to such provision of the General Statutes of
Connecticut, Revision of 1958, as amended, or the corresponding provision(s) of
