This Amendment No. 1 amends the Schedule 13D (the “Schedule 13D”) previously filed by SJW Corp. with the Securities and Exchange Commission on January 11, 1993 relating to 549,976 shares common stock, $6.25 par value per share (the “Predecessor Shares”), of California Water Service Company, a California corporation (the “Predecessor Corporation”). On December 31, 1997, the Predecessor Shares were automatically exchanged for an equal number of shares of common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “California Water Common Stock”) of California Water Service Group, a Delaware corporation (“California Water”), as part of a restructuring in which the Predecessor Corporation implemented a holding company structure for its business. Then, effective January 23, 1998, California Water effected a two-for-one split of the California Water Common Stock.
