CHAIRMAN’S LETTER

Dear Fellow Shareholders:

In response to last year’s unfavorable vote on executive compensation (“Say-on-Pay”), the Compensation Committee of your Board of Directors spent a considerable amount of time and effort in 2014 continuing to work with the independent executive compensation consultant of Consolidated Water Co. Ltd. (the “Company”) in order to review the Company’s executive compensation plans and programs. After careful consideration of the recommendations of the Company’s executive compensation consultant and the Summary Proxy Voting Guidelines published by Institutional Shareholder Services, your Board of Directors, guided by the Compensation Committee, initiated the following actions:

A description of these revisions to the executive compensation program is set forth in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this year’s Proxy Statement.

We have expanded the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” section of this year’s Proxy Statement to include additional tables with respect to the revised incentive compensation program.

On behalf of your Board of Directors, I request your support for the proposals to be considered at the 2015 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

Sincerely,

Wilmer F. Pergande
Chairman of the Board of Directors

CONSOLIDATED WATER CO. LTD.
 
Annual General Meeting of Shareholders
Wednesday, May 27, 2015
Proxy Statement

This Proxy Statement has been prepared and is distributed and made available by the board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) of Consolidated Water Co. Ltd. (the “Company”) in connection with the solicitation of proxies for the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of the Company (the “Annual General Meeting”) to be held at The Westin Grand Cayman Seven Mile Beach Resort & Spa, Seven Mile Beach, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands, at 10:00 a.m., local time, on Wednesday, May 27, 2015, and any adjournment or postponement thereof for the purpose set forth in the accompanying Notice of Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

This Proxy Statement and the accompanying form of proxy will be distributed to shareholders and will be made available for viewing, downloading and printing by shareholders at www.proxyvote.com, on or about April 17, 2015. The Company will bear the cost of the solicitation of proxies.

Only holders of record of the Company’s Ordinary Shares, par value CI$0.50 per share (the “Ordinary Shares”), and the Company’s Redeemable Preference Shares, par value CI$0.50 per share (the “Redeemable Preference Shares”), on the books of the Company at the close of business on March 25, 2015, are entitled to vote at the Annual General Meeting. On that date, 14,734,272 Ordinary Shares and 36,840 Redeemable Preference Shares were issued and outstanding. Our Ordinary Shares and Redeemable Preference Shares are referred to as “common stock” and “redeemable preferred stock,” respectively, in our consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles. All matters that come before this Annual General Meeting will be decided by a poll that will be demanded in each case by Frederick W. McTaggart or David W. Sasnett, the persons who are appointed proxies in the proxy card which accompanies this Proxy Statement. Each shareholder of record is entitled to one vote for each Ordinary Share or Redeemable Preference Share (collectively, the “Shares”) held on all polled matters that come before the Annual General Meeting. The holders of 33 1/3% of the issued and outstanding Shares, present in person or represented by proxy, will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Annual General Meeting.

For Proposal 1, the election of three directors, each of the nominees shall be elected as a director if the number of Shares cast “for” such nominee’s election exceeds the number of Shares voted “against” such nominee’s election. The approval of holders of at least a majority of the Shares cast is required for: (i) Proposal 2, the advisory vote on executive compensation; and (ii) Proposal 3, the ratification of the selection of Marcum LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015.

Abstentions and “broker non-votes” (which occur when a broker holding shares for a beneficial owner does not vote on a particular proposal because the broker does not have discretionary voting power with respect to that item and has not received voting instructions from the beneficial owner) are not treated as votes cast and, therefore, will not affect the outcome of the vote.

Shares represented by a properly executed proxy must be received not later than 24 hours before the scheduled time of the meeting and, if received in time to permit its use at the meeting or any postponement or adjournment thereof, will be voted in accordance with the instructions indicated therein. If no instructions are indicated, the Shares represented by the proxy will be voted (i) “for” the election of the nominees for director; (ii) “for” the approval of executive compensation; and (iii) “for” the ratification of the selection of Marcum LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.

A shareholder of record who has given a proxy may revoke it at any time before it is voted at the meeting by giving written notice of such revocation to the office of the Secretary of the Company, or by executing and delivering to the Company not later than 24 hours before the scheduled time of the meeting a proxy bearing a later date. A proxy will be revoked automatically if a shareholder attends the meeting.

Shareholders may, by electronic means via the Internet or by mail, appoint a proxy to vote Shares as more fully described below:

Unless otherwise indicated herein, all references to “$” are to United States dollars and all references to “CI$” are to Cayman Island dollars.

PROPOSAL 1
 
Election of Group III Directors

The shareholders of the Company will vote on the election of three Group III directors at the Annual General Meeting. Each of the nominees listed below has consented to being named a nominee in this Proxy Statement and has agreed to serve as a director if elected at the Annual General Meeting. If, prior to the Annual General Meeting, any of the nominees should become unavailable to serve, the proxies in such nominee’s favor will be void. The Board of Directors knows of no reason to anticipate that this will occur.

In accordance with the Company’s Articles of Association, the Board of Directors is divided into three groups, designated Group I, Group II and Group III. At the 2015 Annual General Meeting, shareholders will vote on the election of the Group III directors. Directors in Group I and Group II will be eligible for reelection at the Company’s Annual General Meetings in 2016 and 2017, respectively. Each group, upon election, serves for a three-year term.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Shares cast at the Annual General Meeting is required to elect each director. Abstentions and “broker non-votes” are not treated as votes cast and, therefore, will not affect the outcome of the vote. Unless a shareholder specifies otherwise on the accompanying proxy, its shares will be voted “FOR” the Group III nominees listed below.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE ELECTION OF THE NOMINEES LISTED BELOW.

Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight

Mr. McTaggart currently serves as our principal executive officer, and Mr. Pergande, an independent director, currently serves as the Chairman of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has determined that having an independent director serve as Chairman of the Board of Directors is consistent with corporate governance best practices and is in the best interest of shareholders at this time. The structure ensures a greater role for the independent directors in the oversight of the Company and active participation of the independent directors in setting goals, objectives and agendas to establish priorities and procedures for the work of the Board of Directors.

The Board of Directors is engaged in the oversight of risk through regular updates from Mr. McTaggart, in his role as our Chief Executive Officer, and other members of our management team, regarding those risks confronting us, the actions and strategies necessary to mitigate those risks and the status and effectiveness of those actions and strategies. The updates are provided at regularly scheduled Board of Directors and Committee meetings as well as through more frequent informal meetings that include the Chairman of the Board of Directors, our Board of Directors, our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), our Chief Operating Officer (“COO”) and other members of our management team. The Board of Directors provides insight into the issues, based on the experience of its members, and provides constructive challenges to management’s assumptions and assertions.

Governance of the Company

Pursuant to the Company’s Memorandum of Association, Articles of Association and Cayman Islands law, the Company’s business, property and affairs are managed under the direction of the Board of Directors. Members of the Board of Directors are kept informed of the Company’s business through discussions with the Chief Executive Officer and other senior officers, by reviewing materials provided to them and by participating in meetings of the Board of Directors and its committees.

The Board of Directors has determined that the directors nominated for re-election and all of the directors whose terms will continue after the Meeting, other than Mr. McTaggart, are “independent” as such term is defined by the applicable listing standards of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC (“NASDAQ”).

The Board of Directors based this determination primarily on a review of the responses of the directors to questions regarding their employment, affiliations, family and other relationships.

The Company schedules meetings of the Board of Directors quarterly, in conjunction with its Annual General Meeting, and as necessary throughout the year. The Company expects that all directors will attend each meeting, absent a valid reason, such as a scheduling conflict. The Board of Directors held six meetings during 2014.

Each director attended at least 75% of the aggregate of:  (i) the total number of meetings of the Board of Directors held during 2014, and (ii) the total number of meetings held by all committees of the Board of Directors on which he served during 2014.

The Board of Directors has also adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics that applies to all of the Company’s directors, officers (including the principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) and employees. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is posted on the “Investors — Governance” section of the Company’s website: http://www.cwco.com.

If, in the future, the Board of Directors amends the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics or grants a waiver to our principal executive officer, principal financial officer or principal accounting officer with respect to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, the Company will post the amendment or a description of the waiver on the “Investors — Governance” section of the Company’s website.

Committees of the Board of Directors

The Board of Directors has the following three committees:  (1) Compensation, (2) Audit and (3) Nominations and Corporate Governance. The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for each of the committees. Such charters are posted on the “Investors — Governance” section of the Company’s website: http://www.cwco.com.

Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee consists of Messrs. Ebanks, Finlay, Flowers and Whittaker. The Compensation Committee met five times during 2014.

The Compensation Committee is responsible for developing, reviewing and approving the executive compensation program for the Company and its subsidiaries; assessing executive performance; making grants of salary and annual incentive compensation; approving certain employment agreements; and reviewing and consulting with the Company’s management regarding the Compensation Discussion and Analysis that is included in the Company’s proxy statement for each annual meeting. The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Compensation Committee. The Board of Directors has determined that all members of the Compensation Committee are “independent directors,” as such term is defined under the applicable rules of NASDAQ.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee consists of Messrs. Pergande, Sokolow and Whittaker. The Audit Committee met four times during 2014.

The Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors in monitoring the financial reporting process, the internal control structure, the independence and performance of the internal audit controls and functions, the independent registered public accountants and the approval of outside consulting services pertaining to the operating functions of the Company. Its primary duties are to serve as an independent and objective party to monitor the Company’s financial process and internal control system, to review and appraise the audit effort of the Company’s independent accountants and to provide an open avenue of communications among the independent accountants, financial consultants, financial and senior management and the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has adopted a written charter for the Audit Committee, and the Audit Committee reviews and reassesses the adequacy of its charter on an annual basis. During the year, the Board of Directors examined the composition of the Audit Committee in light of NASDAQ’s corporate governance rules and the regulations promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) applicable to audit committees. Based upon this examination, the Board of Directors has determined that all members of the Audit Committee are “independent directors” within the meaning of applicable rules and regulations of NASDAQ and the SEC. The Board of Directors has also determined that Mr. Sokolow qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined under applicable rules and regulations of NASDAQ and the SEC.

Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee

The Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee consists of Messrs. Butler, Pergande and Sokolow. The Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee held three meetings in 2014.

In 2013, the Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee developed and initiated an annual Board and Committee self-evaluation process as a forum to examine individual and collective performance for the purpose of overall Board development.

In 2012, the Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee prepared a Succession Policy plan for the Company, which was approved by the Board of Directors on February 19, 2013.

The Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee’s duties and responsibilities are as set out in the Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee Charter. The Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee makes recommendations to the Board of Directors regarding the size and composition of the Board of Directors and the qualifications of the members of the Board of Directors, establishes procedures for the nomination process, recommends candidates for election to the Board of Directors and nominates officers for election by the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has determined that all members of the Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee are “independent directors,” as such term is defined under applicable rules of NASDAQ.

The criteria for the Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee to recommend nominees for membership on the Board of Directors is contained in the “Consolidated Water Co. Ltd. Corporate Governance Guidelines,” whereby candidates should possess certain applicable qualifications, skills, business experience, personal values, high ethical standards and a commitment to full participation on the Board of Directors and its committees, among other criteria, and whereby diversity shall be a commitment in any such recommendations.

To recommend a prospective nominee for the Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee’s consideration, a shareholder may submit the candidate’s name and qualifications in writing to the Secretary of the Company, Consolidated Water Co. Ltd., Regatta Office Park, Windward Three, 4^th Floor, West Bay Road, P.O. Box 1114, Grand Cayman, KY1-1102, Cayman Islands.

PROPOSAL 2
 
Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

The Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (the “Dodd-Frank Act”) requires companies that are subject to the SEC’s proxy rules and regulations to hold a shareholder vote to approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation of their Named Executive Officers as disclosed in their proxy statements in accordance with the SEC’s rules.

As described in detail under the heading “Compensation Discussion and Analysis,” our executive compensation programs are designed to attract, motivate and retain our Named Executive Officers, who are critical to our success. Under these programs, our Named Executive Officers are rewarded for the achievement of specific annual, long-term and strategic goals, and corporate goals. Please read the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” and “Additional Information Regarding Executive Compensation” sections included in this Proxy Statement for additional details about our executive compensation programs, including information relating to changes to our short-term and long-term compensation plans and the fiscal year 2014 compensation of our Named Executive Officers.

The Compensation Committee continually reviews the compensation programs for our Named Executive Officers to ensure they achieve the desired goals of aligning our executive compensation structure with our shareholders’ interests and current market practices. The Compensation Committee believes the Company’s executive compensation programs have been effective at incentivizing the achievement of financial performance and returns to shareholders.

We are asking our shareholders to indicate their support for our Named Executive Officers’ compensation as described in this Proxy Statement. This proposal, commonly known as a “say-on-pay” proposal, gives our shareholders the opportunity to express their views on our Named Executive Officers’ compensation. This vote is not intended to address any specific item of compensation, but rather the overall compensation of our Named Executive Officers and the philosophy, policies and practices described in this Proxy Statement. Accordingly, we will ask our shareholders to vote “FOR” the following resolution at the Annual General Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the Company’s shareholders approve, on an advisory basis, the overall compensation philosophy, policies and practices applicable to the Named Executive Officers, as disclosed in the Company’s Proxy Statement for the 2015 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, the 2014 Summary Compensation Table and the other related tables and disclosure.”

The say-on-pay vote is advisory, and therefore not binding on the Company, the Compensation Committee or our Board of Directors. Our Board of Directors and our Compensation Committee value the opinions of our shareholders, and to the extent that there is any significant vote against the Named Executive Officers’ compensation as disclosed in this Proxy Statement, we will consider our shareholders’ concerns and the Compensation Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns. In addition to the advisory vote on executive compensation, we are committed to ongoing engagement with our shareholders on executive compensation and corporate governance issues.

At the 2014 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, approximately 48% of the votes cast on the advisory vote on the executive compensation proposal were cast in favor of our Named Executive Officers’ compensation as disclosed in the proxy statement for last year’s meeting. Our Board of Directors and the Compensation Committee reviewed these final vote results and determined that, given the level of support, the Company should continue to work with our independent executive compensation consultant in order identify changes that should be made to our executive compensation plans and programs. After careful consideration of the recommendations of our executive compensation consultant and the Summary Proxy Voting Guidelines published by Institutional Shareholder Services, our Board of Directors, guided by the Compensation Committee, initiated the following actions:

We have determined that our shareholders should vote on a say-on-pay proposal each year, consistent with the preference expressed by our shareholders at the 2011 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders.

The approval of holders of at least a majority of the Shares cast is required to approve this proposal. Abstentions and “broker non-votes” are not treated as votes cast and, therefore, will not affect the outcome of the vote.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE COMPENSATION OF OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS, AS DISCLOSED IN THIS PROXY STATEMENT PURSUANT TO THE COMPENSATION DISCLOSURE RULES OF THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.

PROPOSAL 3
 
Ratification of the Selection of Independent Accountants

The Audit Committee has selected Marcum LLP to continue as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015, and to render other professional services as required, at the remuneration to be determined by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors.

We are asking our shareholders to ratify the selection of Marcum LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. Although ratification is not required by our Articles of Association or otherwise, the Board is submitting the selection of Marcum LLP to our shareholders for ratification because we value our shareholders’ views on the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and as a matter of good corporate practice. In the event that our shareholders do not ratify the selection, it will be considered as a direction to the Audit Committee to consider the selection of a different firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time during the year if it determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and our shareholders.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Shares voted at the Annual General Meeting is necessary to ratify the selection of Marcum LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2015.

Principal Accounting Fees and Services

The following table shows the fees that the Company and its affiliates paid or accrued for the audit and other services provided by Marcum LLP for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Say-on-Pay Vote

At our 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, our advisory vote on executive compensation received the approval of 48% of the votes cast for this proposal. In response, the Compensation Committee (the “Committee”) of our Board of Directors spent a considerable amount of time and effort in 2014 continuing to work with our independent executive compensation consultant in the review and analysis of our executive compensation plans and programs. After careful consideration of the recommendations of our executive compensation consultant and the Summary Proxy Voting Guidelines published by Institutional Shareholder Services, our Board of Directors, guided by the Committee, initiated the following actions:

Short-Term Incentive Compensation.  As part of the redesigned short-term incentive compensation for our executive officers for 2014 and beyond, we:

Long-Term Incentive Compensation.  Our Board of Directors approved changes to the long-term incentive compensation for our executive officers for 2015 and beyond to better align the interests of our executive officers with those of our shareholders. Under the revised plan, all executive officers will participate in the plan with the same measures and weights, but at different levels of opportunity. The plan will include a combination of performance and non-performance based grants of restricted stock units (RSUs). The non-performance based grants will represent 50% of the total long-term opportunity, and performance-dependent grants will represent the remaining 50%. The non-performance based grants will vest ratably over a three-year period.

The performance-based grants will provide participants the opportunity to earn shares based on a range of performance outcomes. The ultimate value of the earned awards will be based on the shares earned through performance and the change in our stock price. Based upon the recommendations of the Compensation Committee, our Board of Directors will approve at its May 2015 meeting (to be held immediately following the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders) appropriate measures for the performance-based component of the long-term compensation plan in order to address important long term (i.e. beyond one year) Company goals. We expect that the measures to be approved by the Board will consist of one or more of the following, based upon the specific rationale provided:

Performance-based RSUs vest at the end of three years based on results. We intend to use different leverage tables to reflect the variability of performance results with different maximum payout levels for each goal to reflect differences in achievement difficulty.

Overview of 2015 Executive Compensation Program as Result of Changes

The table below summarizes the elements of the Company’s 2015 executive compensation program and the objectives served by each element, as a result of the changes made in response to the outcome of the advisory vote on executive compensation at our 2014 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. We will use multiple metrics in our 2015 compensation program to provide a more complete view of performance, which we believe will capture key business objectives.

Type		Component		Objective
Performance-Based Compensation		Long-Term Incentive Awards		•   Align the compensation of executives with the financial and operational performance of the Company and the value delivered to shareholders over the longer term.
				•   Reward for increases in stock price over the longer term.
				•   Provide strong retention value to executives in the service of the Company over the longer term and keep executives focused on the delivery of financial and operational performance and increases in shareholder value.
		Annual Cash Incentive Awards		•   Align the compensation of executives with the annual financial and operational performance of the Company and its achievement of annual revenue, operating margin and net income objectives.
Fixed Compensation		Base Salary		•   Provide a competitive fixed payment to the executive for their service to the Company, set at a level that allows the Company to attract and retain top talent.
		Benefits & Perquisites		•   Provide benefits that are competitive and enable the Company to attract and retain top executive talent.

Comparison of CEO Pay to Indexed Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”)

The chart below compares the five-year change in CEO compensation and the change in value of $100 invested in the Company (indexed TSR). This comparison is used by Institutional Shareholder Services (ISS) to assess alignment of CEO compensation with shareholder return. The chart shows that CEO pay and indexed TSR increased over the period. The trend lines show that indexed TSR has increased at a faster rate than CEO pay.

Pay Mix Analysis

The mix of total compensation elements for the Named Executive Officers in 2014, as a percentage of total compensation, is set forth in the table and charts below.

		Fixed Compensation (as a % of Total Compensation)								Variable Compensation (as a % of Total Compensation)
Named Executive Officer		Base Salary				Benefits & Other Compensation				Annual Cash Incentives
CEO			53	%			2	%			45	%
CFO			71	%			3	%			26	%
COO			72	%			3	%			25	%
VP Overseas Ops.			70	%			7	%			23	%
VP Eng. & Tech.			71	%			8	%			21	%

Overview of Compensation Program

The Committee is responsible for establishing, implementing and continually monitoring adherence with our compensation philosophy; maintaining competitive compensation; and structuring compensation to achieve our compensation objectives. Generally, the types of compensation and benefits we provide to our Named Executive Officers are similar to those provided to our other executive officers.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

The Committee believes that compensation paid to our Named Executive Officers should be directly aligned with our performance, and that compensation should be structured to ensure that a significant portion of our Named Executives Officers’ compensation opportunities are directly related to achievement of our financial and operational goals. These goals include meeting revenue and profitability targets, operating within the capital expenditures budget, securing new projects and keeping current on the industry’s engineering advances in seawater conversion technology, all of which impact shareholder value. The Committee evaluates both performance and compensation to ensure that we maintain our ability to attract and retain highly skilled and motivated employees in key positions and that the compensation provided to key employees remains competitive relative to our Peer Companies (identified below).

The Committee believes executives at peer companies typically receive base salary, an annual bonus and equity-based compensation, with top executives (i.e., Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officers) also receiving severance payments and, at times, payments upon a change of control. Accordingly, for 2014, the Committee determined that the compensation packages that we provided to our executives, including our Named Executive Officers, should include a mix of base salary and incentive-based cash compensation, with our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer also receiving severance payments, and our Chief Financial Officer also receiving severance payments upon a change of control. Beginning in 2015, all executive officers also will be eligible to receive long-term equity compensation consisting of RSUs earned over time and upon the satisfaction of Company performance goals.

Setting Executive Compensation

Based on the foregoing philosophy and objectives, the Committee has structured our Named Executive Officers’ base salary and incentive-based compensation to motivate executives to achieve our business goals and reward them for achieving those goals.

In setting the base salaries in the employment agreements of our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, the Committee determined the approximate total average annual cash compensation paid to executives performing similar functions at our Peer Companies.

In determining and considering adjustments to the base salaries in the employment agreements of our Vice Presidents, our Chief Executive Officer reviewed the average annual salaries paid to executives with similar levels of responsibility within our Peer Companies, taking into account the very limited availability of persons possessing the requisite skills and experience in the local labor market, and gave his recommendation to the Committee. The Committee compared the suggested annual base salary for each of our Vice Presidents to the annual base salaries paid to executives performing similar functions at comparable companies. Given that the suggested annual base salaries for our Vice Presidents were similar to that paid to executives within the Peer Companies, the Committee approved the salaries recommended by our Chief Executive Officer.

A significant amount of the total compensation paid to our Named Executive Officers is allocated to incentive-based compensation, as a result of the philosophy and objectives mentioned above.

In 2014, in furtherance of our compensation philosophy and objectives, the Committee re-engaged the POE Group Inc. (“POE”), an outside executive compensation consulting firm determined to be independent by the Committee, to conduct a review of, and recommend changes to, our total compensation program for our most highly compensated executive officers. A representative of POE attends Committee meetings at the invitation of the Committee Chairman and is also in contact directly with the Committee from time to time. POE provides the Committee with assistance and advice in the review of the Company’s salary structure, annual and equity incentive awards and other related executive pay issues. In addition, POE provides advice regarding marketplace trends and best practices relating to competitive pay levels. POE did not provide any

services to the Company in 2014 other than its services as the Committee’s independent compensation consultant, and POE did not receive any fees or compensation from the Company other than the fee it received as the independent compensation consultant. The Committee confirmed that POE’s work for the Committee did not create any conflicts of interest.

Peer Companies

The Committee, with the assistance of POE, determined our peer group to include 12 comparably sized companies. Our Peer Companies generally fall within the following parameters:

The assessment provided by POE included comparative compensation information for executive officers at the following companies (our “Peer Companies”), which are located in the U.S.:

Artesian Resources Corporation		Capstone Turbine Corporation
Connecticut Water Services Inc.		Delta Natural Gas Company Inc.
Energy Recovery Inc.		Echelon Corporation
FuelCell Energy Inc.		Middlesex Water Company
Primo Water Corporation		SJW Corporation
RGC Resources Inc.		York Water Company

Our Peer Companies will be used for executive compensation benchmarking and performance benchmarking. We believe that this larger peer group provides a valid benchmark comparison to our Company.

Metric		Peer Median*				CWCO*				CWCO Percentile Rank
Revenue		$	95,000			$	66,000				25.0	%
Market Capitalization		$	259,000			$	160,000				33.3	%
Net Income		$	7,000			$	6,000				50.0	%
Total Assets		$	234,000			$	157,000				41.7	%

The following are the key findings of POE’s review and analysis:

Our total compensation package for our executives is below average when benchmarked against publicly traded U.S. companies in our peer group. The Company has generally used base pay and annual incentives in its executive compensation package. Long-term incentives have played a minimal role in the compensation package.

As a result of these findings, our Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Committee, has redesigned the short-term and long-term incentive compensation opportunities for our executive officers as previously described. The analysis provided by POE indicates that once fully implemented in 2015, our compensation plans will be more comparable to the compensation paid by our Peer Companies.

Role of Chief Executive Officer in Compensation Decisions

Our Chief Executive Officer determines the base salary and establishes the individual performance goals for our Chief Financial Officer and our Chief Operating Officer. The Committee must approve any compensation components for our Vice Presidents, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer other than base salary. Our Chief Executive Officer is not involved with the setting of compensation for himself.

Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

We have determined that our shareholders should vote on a Say-on-Pay proposal each year, consistent with the preference expressed by our shareholders at our 2011 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. Accordingly, we conducted a Say-on-Pay vote at our 2014 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. While this vote was not binding on the Company, our Board of Directors or the Committee, we believe that it is important for our shareholders to have an opportunity to vote on executive compensation as a means to express their views regarding our executive compensation philosophy, our compensation policies and programs and our decisions regarding executive compensation. Our Board of Directors and the Committee value the opinions of our shareholders, and, to the extent that there is any significant vote against the compensation of our Named Executive Officers, we will consider our shareholders’ concerns and the Committee will evaluate whether any actions are necessary to address those concerns. In addition to the advisory vote on executive compensation, we are committed to ongoing engagement with our shareholders on executive compensation and corporate governance issues.

At the 2014 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders, approximately 48% of the votes cast on the advisory vote on executive compensation proposal were cast in favor of our Named Executive Officer compensation as disclosed in the proxy statement. Our Board of Directors and the Committee reviewed these final vote results and determined that, given the level of support, the Company should revise the short-term and long-term components of our compensation program, as discussed in more detail below.

2014 Executive Compensation Components

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, the principal components of compensation for our Named Executive Officers were:

Base Salary

Base salaries for our executives are established based on the scope of their responsibilities and their prior relevant background, training and experience, taking into account competitive market compensation paid by the companies represented in the compensation data the Committee reviewed for similar positions, and the overall market demand for such executives at the time of hire or entry into employment agreements. As with total compensation, we believe that executive base salaries should be competitive with the salaries paid to executives at comparable companies. An executive’s base salary is also evaluated together with other components of the executive’s compensation to ensure that the executive’s total compensation is in line with our overall compensation philosophy and objectives.

Base salaries are reviewed annually and increased based upon: (i) a need to realign base salaries with market levels for the same positions at comparable companies; (ii) an internal review of the executive’s compensation, both individually and relative to other executive officers; (iii) the individual performance of the executive; and (iv) an assessment of whether significant corporate goals were achieved. Additionally, we may

adjust base salaries as warranted throughout the year for promotions or other changes in the scope or breadth of an executive’s role or responsibilities.

Incentive-Based Compensation

All of our executive officers were eligible to earn annual incentive compensation in the form of a cash bonus in 2014. The annual incentive compensation is performance based, with payout of these awards tied to the Company’s achievement of specific yearly net income, revenue and operating margin performance objectives, as well as individual performance for the year to the extent discussed below.

Company Performance-Based Incentives

Incentive awards for our executive officers for 2014 were determined using four corporate performance measures and targets established for each measure. Such incentive based compensation was structured to provide for a range of payouts corresponding to a range of Company performance outcomes against the performance measures.

Our executive officers were eligible to earn varying amounts of incentive compensation for 2014 based upon the Company’s achievement of the (1) minimum threshold, (2) target or (3) upper amount that was set for each of the short-term performance measures. The following table sets forth the range of percentages of base salary each executive officer was eligible to receive as incentive compensation based upon the relative achievement of each of these amounts:

Named Executive Officer		Below Threshold				Threshold				Target				Maximum
CEO			0	%			35	%			70	%			109	%
CFO			0	%			15	%			30	%			47	%
COO			0	%			15	%			30	%			49	%
VP Overseas Ops.			0	%			12.5	%			25	%			44	%
VP Eng. & Tech.			0	%			12.5	%			25	%			41	%

The Committee established the 2014 corporate performance measures for the Company based on the 2014 financial performance estimates approved by the Company’s Board and the Company’s historic performance. Setting performance measures involves both selecting the performance metrics that will be used to drive short-term business performance and establishing the performance targets for each of those metrics. The 2014 annual bonus for each Named Executive Officer was calculated by the Board of Directors based upon its assessment of the Company’s performance in the areas set forth in the table below, with a weighting assigned to each factor for each of the Named Executive Officers noted. The Committee set the corporate performance goals at levels it believed require strong performance for a target payout and superior performance for an upper payout. The four corporate performance criteria, and the respective weighting assigned to each for our Named Executive Officers, are set forth in the table below.

		Weighting of Short-Term Performance Measures
		Net Income(1)				Revenue(2)				Operating Margin(3)				Mexico Project(4)				Individual
Frederick W. McTaggart Chief Executive Officer			40	%			30	%			10	%			10	%			10	%
David W. Sasnett Executive VP & Chief Financial Officer			40	%			30	%			10	%			10	%			10	%
John Tonner Executive VP & Chief Operating Officer			20	%			20	%			40	%			10	%			10	%
Ramjeet Jerrybandan VP Overseas Operations			30	%			20	%			40	%			0	%			10	%
Gerard J. Pereira VP Engineering & Technology			20	%			20	%			40	%			10	%			10	%

The Committee selected these four performance measures to capture the most important aspects of the top- and bottom-line performance of the Company and short-term corporate goals. The Committee sets the relative weighting among the performance measures for each of the Named Executive Officers in accordance with the relative importance of those measures, in the Committee’s view, to the Company’s performance, the strength of the Company’s business and the Named Executive Officers’ ability to drive results with respect to these measures.

The relative percentages of the threshold and upper performance amounts to the target amount for each performance measure, and the Company's 2014 performance with respect to each measure, are set forth in the table below.

Performance Measure		Threshold				Target				Upper				Company’s 2014 Results
Net Income			75	%			100	%			125	%			130	%
Revenue			90	%			100	%			110	%			104	%
Operating Margin			90	%			100	%			110	%			103	%

The impact of the Company's 2014 performance with respect to each of the performance measures on the 2014 short-term incentive bonus for each Named Executive Officer, based upon the relative weightings assigned to these performance measures for each Executive, is as follows:

Performance Measure		Frederick W. McTaggart				David W. Sasnett				John Tonner				Ramjeet Jerrybandan				Gerard J. Pereira
Net Income			60	%			60	%			30	%			45	%			30	%
Revenue			38	%			38	%			25	%			25	%			25	%
Operating Margin			12	%			12	%			50	%			50	%			50	%
Mexico Project Goal			0	%			0	%			0	%			0	%			0	%
Individual Goals			10	%			10	%			10	%			10	%			15	%
Total percentage of target amounts achieved			120	%			120	%			115	%			130	%			120	%
Incentive compensation payable assuming target amounts were achieved			317,118				90,000				82,565				43,750				39,323
Incentive compensation earned for 2014		$	381,685			$	108,325			$	94,935			$	56,870			$	47,180
Incentive compensation as a percentage of base salary			84	%			36	%			34	%			32	%			30	%

Changes to Incentive Compensation for 2015

The Board of Directors approved changes to the incentive compensation program for our executive officers for 2015 and beyond to add a long-term component to better align the interests of our executive officers with those of our shareholders. Under the revised plan, all executive officers will participate in the plan with the same measures and weights, but at different levels of opportunity. The plan will include a combination of performance and non-performance based grants of RSUs. The non-performance based grants will represent 50% of the total long-term opportunity, and performance-dependent grants will represent the remaining 50%. The non-performance based grants will vest ratably over a three-year period.

The performance-based grants will provide participants the opportunity to earn RSUs based on a range of performance outcomes. The ultimate value of the earned awards would be based on the RSUs earned through performance and the change in the Company’s stock price. The Board of Directors will select one or more of the following measures for the performance component of the long-term design in order to address important Company goals beyond one year, with the specific rationale for each measure set forth below:

Performance share plans will vest at the end of three years based on results. We intend to use different leverage tables to reflect the variability of performance results with different maximum payout levels for each goal to reflect differences in achievement difficulty.

Pension Plan

As with every employer in the Cayman Islands, we are required by the National Pension Law to provide a pension plan for our employees in the Cayman Islands. We belong to the Cayman Islands Chamber Pension Plan, the Ocean Conversion Staff Pension Plan and the Fidelity Pension Plan in the Cayman Islands. The Chamber Pension Plan is a non-profit entity that is administered by the Bank of Butterfield; the Ocean Conversion Staff Pension Plan has as its trustee Colonial Private Trustee Limited and is administered by the British Caymanian Insurance Company Ltd.; and the Fidelity Pension Plan is administered by Fidelity Pension Services (Cayman) Limited, who are also the trustees of the plan.

Under the Cayman Islands National Pensions Law, all employees between the ages of 18 and 60 must contribute a specified minimum percentage of their earnings to a pension plan. Since June 1, 2002, all employees must contribute 5% of their earnings to a pension plan. An employee also has the option of contributing more than the prescribed minimum. We are required to match the contribution of the first 5% of each participating employee’s salary to a maximum of $72,000. Employees earning more than $72,000 are not required to make contributions on amounts over $72,000. All contributions by our employees are collected by us and paid into the various pension plans on a monthly basis.

All three plans are defined contribution plans, and as such the amount that an employee receives upon retirement is directly related to the amount contributed to the plan by the employee while working. Once an employee retires (employees become eligible for retirement at age 60 in the Cayman Islands), an employee has the following options for receiving benefits:

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits

Pursuant to their respective employment agreements, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Vice President of Overseas Operations and Vice President of Engineering & Product Technology were each provided with an automobile expense allowance of $1,150 per month in 2014. Pursuant to the employment

agreement with our Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, we provided him with an automobile expense allowance of $1,000 per month in 2014.

Termination-Based Compensation

Termination

Our Named Executive Officers’ employment agreements may be terminated upon the occurrence of the following:

Additionally, our Chief Financial Officer’s employment agreement may be terminated due to his conviction of a felony or his commission of an act or omission that could result in material harm to us or conduct justifying dismissal under Cayman Islands law. Our other Named Executive Officers’ employment agreements may be terminated due to conduct by such Named Executive Officer justifying dismissal under Cayman Islands law.

Upon termination due to the Named Executive Officer’s inability to discharge his duties due to physical or mental illness for a period of more than 60 days, the Named Executive Officer will be relieved of his duties. In the case of all Named Executive Officers other than our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operations Officer, we will pay such Named Executive Officer $1,000 per year, provide medical insurance for him and his family, and contribute to a pension fund for the Named Executive Officer for a period of two years. In the case of our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operations Officer, we will pay him $1,000 per year and provide medical insurance for him and his family for a period of one year.

If our Chief Financial Officer or Chief Operations Officer terminates his respective employment agreement upon six months’ notice or if we terminate his employment agreement due to his commission of an act or omission that could result in material harm to us, he will forfeit all unvested shares issued pursuant to his employment agreement. If his employment agreement is otherwise terminated or upon a “Change in Control,” as defined below, all unvested shares issued pursuant to his employment agreement will vest immediately.

Severance

Upon termination of employment, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer are entitled to receive severance payments under their employment agreements. In determining whether to approve and setting the terms of such severance arrangements, the Committee recognizes that executives, especially highly ranked executives, often face challenges securing new employment following termination. These employment agreements provide for a lump sum severance payment equal to 24 months to our Chief Executive Officer, a lump sum severance payment of 12 months to our Chief Financial Officer and a lump sum severance payment equal to six months to our Chief Operating Officer, of their then current respective base salaries if their employment is terminated without cause or if their employment agreements are not renewed. The Committee negotiated our Chief Executive Officer’s severance package to provide him an amount equal to his base salary for the length of his non-competition arrangement with us. Based upon the data reviewed by the Committee, we believe that our Chief Executive Officer’s, Chief Financial Officer’s and Chief Operating Officer’s severance packages are generally in line with severance packages offered to chief executive officers, chief financial officers and chief operating officers of comparable companies.

Change in Control

Upon a “Change in Control,” as defined below, our Chief Financial Officer may elect to terminate his employment and receive a lump sum payment equal to three times his then current base salary. In determining whether to approve and setting the terms of such Change in Control arrangement, the Committee recognizes the importance to the Company and our shareholders of avoiding the distraction and loss of key management personnel that may occur in connection with rumored or actual fundamental corporate changes. A properly arranged Change in Control provision protects shareholder interests by enhancing employee focus during rumored or actual Change in Control activity through:

Our Chief Financial Officer’s employment agreement provides that, at his election, he may terminate his employment upon a Change in Control and receive a payment of 36 months of his then current base salary. After reviewing the practices of companies represented in the compensation data we obtained, the Committee negotiated our Chief Financial Officer’s Change in Control arrangement to provide him an amount equal to three times his base salary. We believe that our Chief Financial Officer’s Change in Control arrangement is generally in line with such arrangements offered to chief financial officers of comparable companies.

For the purposes of this discussion, a “Change of Control” occurs when: (i) any person, including a “group” as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, publicly announces that such person or group has become the beneficial owner of more than 30% of the combined voting power (“Controlling Voting Power”) of our then outstanding securities that may be cast for the election of directors and (ii) the persons who were our directors before such event shall cease to constitute a majority of our Board of Directors, or any successor, as the direct or indirect result of any person or group acquiring Controlling Voting Power.

Compensation Committee Report

The Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis with management. Based on its review and discussions with management, the Committee recommended to our Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for 2014 and this proxy statement.

Pension Benefits

We do not have any non-qualified deferred contribution plans or other deferred compensation plans.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control

The section below describes the payments that may be made to the Named Executive Officers upon termination or Change in Control, as defined below, pursuant to individual agreements. For payments made to a participant upon a retirement other than in connection with termination or a Change in Control, see “Pension Benefits” above.

Termination

Our Named Executive Officers’ employment agreements may be terminated upon the occurrence of the following:

Additionally, our Chief Financial Officer’s employment agreement may be terminated due to his conviction of a felony or his commission of an act or omission that could result in material harm to us or conduct justifying dismissal under Cayman Islands law. Our other Named Executive Officers’ employment agreements may be terminated due to conduct by such Named Executive Officer justifying dismissal under Cayman Islands law.

Upon termination due to the Named Executive Officer’s inability to discharge his duties due to physical or mental illness for a period of more than 60 days, the Named Executive Officer will be terminated. In the case of all Named Executive Officers other than our Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer, we will pay such Named Executive Officer $1,000 per year, provide medical insurance for him and his family, and contribute to a pension fund for the Named Executive Officer for a period of two years.

In the case of our Chief Operating Officer, we will pay him $1,000 per year and provide medical insurance for him and his family for a period of two years.

Assuming our Named Executive Officers’ employment agreements were terminated on December 31, 2014, due to the Named Executive Officer’s inability to discharge his duties due to physical or mental illness for a period of more than 60 days, the compensation due to our Named Executive Officers would be as set forth in the following table.

Gerard J. Pereira			2,000				52,421				7,200				61,621

If our Chief Financial Officer terminates his employment agreement or if we terminate his employment agreement due to his commission of an act or omission that could result in material harm to us or conduct justifying dismissal under Cayman Islands law, he will forfeit all unvested shares issued pursuant to his employment agreement. If his employment agreement is otherwise terminated or upon a “Change in Control,” as defined below, all unvested shares issued pursuant to his employment agreement will vest immediately.

Severance

Upon termination of employment, our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Chief Operating Officer are entitled to receive severance payments under their employment agreements. Our Chief Executive Officer’s, Chief Financial Officer’s and Chief Operating Officer’s employment agreements provide for a lump sum severance payment equal to 24 months, 12 months and six months, respectively, of their then current respective base salaries if their employment is terminated without cause or if their employment agreements are not renewed.

Change in Control

Upon a “Change in Control,” as defined below, our Chief Financial Officer may elect to terminate his employment and receive a lump sum payment equal to three times his then current base salary. In determining whether to approve and setting the terms of such Change in Control arrangement, the Committee recognizes the importance to us and our shareholders of avoiding the distraction and loss of key management personnel that may occur in connection with rumored or actual fundamental corporate changes. A properly arranged Change in Control provision protects shareholder interests by enhancing employee focus during rumored or actual Change in Control activity through:

Director Compensation Policy

Our Chairman receives an annual retainer of $58,000 in addition to the meeting and attendance fees paid to each non-executive director.

Each director who is not an executive officer is entitled to an annual retainer of $18,000 and an attendance fee of $3,000 for each Board of Directors’ meeting attended, and $1,000 for each telephonic Board of Directors’ meetings attended.

Each director who is a member of the Audit Committee is entitled to an attendance fee of $1,100 for each Audit Committee meeting attended, except for the Chairman of the Audit Committee, who is entitled to $1,850 for each Audit Committee meeting attended.

Each director who is a member of the Compensation Committee is entitled to an attendance fee of $1,100 for each Compensation Committee meeting attended, except for the Chairman of the Compensation Committee, who is entitled to $1,850 for each Compensation Committee meeting attended.

Each director who is a member of the Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee is entitled to an attendance fee of $1,100 for each Nominations Committee meeting attended, except for the Chairman of the Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee, who is entitled to $1,850 for each Nominations and Corporate Governance Committee meeting attended.

In addition, under the non-executive directors share grant plan, each director receives Ordinary Shares worth the share equivalent of $2,000 for each quarterly Board of Directors meeting and $600 for each Committee meeting attended. The Ordinary Shares are calculated by dividing the accumulated share attendance fees by the prevailing market price on October 1 of the preceding year.

Our Directors who are also executive officers of our Company are not entitled to an annual retainer or any attendance fees.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation in Compensation Decisions

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors consists of Messrs. Ebanks, Finlay, Flowers and Whittaker. No member of the Compensation Committee is, or at any time in the past has been, an officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

We are required to identify each person who was an officer, director or beneficial owner of more than 10% of our registered equity securities during our most recent fiscal year and who failed to file on a timely basis reports required by Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). To our knowledge, based solely on review of these filings and written representations from the certain reporting persons, we believe that during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, our officers, directors and significant stockholders have timely filed the appropriate form under Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act.

Transactions With Related Persons

The Company has a written policy regarding the review, approval or ratification of related person transactions. A related person transaction for the purposes of the policy is a transaction between the Company and one of the Company’s directors or nominees for director, executive officers, 5% shareholders, or a member of one of these persons’ immediate family, in which such person has a direct or indirect material interest and involves more than $120,000. Under this policy, related person transactions are prohibited unless the Audit Committee has determined in advance that the transaction is in the best interests of the Company.
