Bank of Hawaii Corporation (the “Company”) previously filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-203611) with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on April 24, 2015 (the “Prior Registration Statement”) with respect to the offer and sale of 96,930 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.01 per share (“Shares”), issuable under the Bank of Hawaii Corporation 2015 Director Stock Compensation Plan (the “2015 Director Plan”).

On February 28, 2025, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the Bank of Hawaii Corporation 2025 Director Stock Compensation Plan (the “2025 Director Plan”) as a successor plan to the 2015 Director Plan. The 2025 Director Plan was subsequently approved by the Company’s stockholders at the Company’s 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on April 25, 2025 (the “Effective Date”) and, as a result, no further awards may be made under the 2015 Director Plan on or after the Effective Date.

The aggregate number of Shares authorized for issuance pursuant to the 2025 Director Plan is equal to 60,000 newly-authorized Shares (the “Newly-Authorized Shares”), plus (i) the number of Shares that remain reserved for issuance under the 2015 Director Plan as of the Effective Date and (ii) the number of Shares subject to any outstanding award under the 2015 Director Plan that, after the Effective Date, expire, or are terminated, surrendered, cancelled or forfeited for any reason without delivery of the Shares underlying such award ((i) and (ii) taken together, the “Rollover Shares”). As of the Effective Date, the maximum number of Rollover Shares that may be issued or transferred pursuant to awards under the 2025 Director Plan as a result of applying the formula described in (ii) and (iii) above will not exceed 81,124 Shares.

Accordingly, the Company is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Prior Registration Statement (this “Post-Effective Amendment”) pursuant to Item 512(a)(1)(iii) of Regulation S-K and the Commission’s Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 126.43 to amend the Prior Registration Statement to cover the offer and sale of the Rollo
