| PROPOSAL 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS |

As one of the largest financial institutions in Hawai'i, finding director candidates with a deep knowledge of the focused market in which we operate is critical. The nominees’ breadth and diversity of experience, mix of qualifications, attributes, and skills strengthen our Board of Director’s effective oversight of the Company’s business. While our longer tenured directors bring a wealth of experience and deep understanding of the business, we recognize the need for fresh perspectives, have consistently added new directors, and are committed to continued board and committee diversity and refreshment. Attributes and Skills of the Nominees Nominees for directors are selected based on, among other criteria, their integrity, informed judgment, financial literacy, high performance standards, accomplishments and reputation in the community, experience, skill sets, ability to commit adequate time to Board and committee matters, and to act on behalf of shareholders. The criteria also includes a determination of the needs of the Board and of the individual’s personal qualities and characteristics with those of the other directors and potential directors in building a Board that is effective, collegial and responsive to the needs of the Company and its shareholders. The composition of the Board should encompass a broad range of skills, expertise, industry knowledge, diversity of background and viewpoint, and professional and community contacts relevant to the Company’s business.
