Forward-Looking Statements

This report and other presentations made by Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. (HEI) and Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. (HECO) and their
subsidiaries contain forward-looking statements, which include statements that are predictive in nature, depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, and usually include words such as expects, anticipates,
intends, plans, believes, predicts, estimates or similar expressions. In addition, any statements concerning future financial performance, ongoing business strategies or prospects or
possible future actions are also forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and projections about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and the accuracy of assumptions concerning HEI and
its subsidiaries (collectively, the Company), the performance of the industries in which they do business and economic and market factors, among other things. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance.

Risks, uncertainties and other important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those in forward-looking
statements and from historical results include, but are not limited to, the following:



| |  |  | international, national and local economic conditions, including the state of the Hawaii tourism and construction industries, the strength or weakness
of the Hawaii and continental U.S. real estate markets (including the fair value and/or the actual performance of collateral underlying loans held by American Savings Bank, F.S.B. (ASB), which could result in higher loan loss provisions and
write-offs), decisions concerning the extent of the presence of the federal government and military in Hawaii, and the implications and potential impacts of current capital and credit market conditions and federal and state responses to those
conditions, such as the Emergency Economic Stabilization Act of 2008 and the American Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | weather and natural disasters, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis, lightning strikes and the potential effects of global warming (such as more
severe storms and rising sea levels);
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | global developments, including terrorist acts, the war on terrorism, continuing U.S. presence in Iraq and Afghanistan, potential conflict or crisis
with North Korea or in the Middle East, Irans nuclear activities and potential H1N1 and avian flu pandemics;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the timing and extent of changes in interest rates and the shape of the yield curve;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the ability of the Company to access credit markets to obtain commercial paper and other short-term and long-term debt financing (including lines of
credit) and to access capital markets to issue HEI common stock under volatile and challenging market conditions, and the cost of such financings, if available;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the risks inherent in changes in the value of and market for securities available for sale and in the value of pension and other retirement plan
assets;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in laws, regulations, market conditions and other factors that result in changes in assumptions used to calculate retirement benefits costs and
funding requirements and the fair value of ASB used to test goodwill for impairment;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the impact of potential legislative and regulatory changes increasing oversight of and reporting by banks in response to the recent financial crisis
and federal bailout of financial institutions;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | increasing competition in the electric utility and banking industries (e.g., increased self-generation of electricity may have an adverse impact on
HECOs revenues and increased price competition for deposits, or an outflow of deposits to alternative investments, may have an adverse impact on ASBs cost of funds);
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the implementation of the Energy Agreement with the State of Hawaii and Consumer Advocate (Energy Agreement) setting forth the goals and objectives of
a Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative (HCEI), revenue decoupling and the fulfillment by the utilities of their commitments under the Energy Agreement (given the Public Utilities Commission of the State of Hawaii (PUC) approvals needed; the PUCs
potential delay in considering HCEI-related costs; reliance by the Company on outside parties like the state, independent power producers (IPPs) and developers; potential changes in political support for the HCEI; and uncertainties surrounding wind
power, the proposed undersea cable, biofuels, environmental assessments and the impacts of implementation of the HCEI on future costs of electricity);
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | capacity and supply constraints or difficulties, especially if generating units (utility-owned or IPP-owned) fail or measures such as demand-side
management (DSM), distributed generation (DG), combined heat and power (CHP) or other firm capacity supply-side resources fall short of achieving their forecasted benefits or are otherwise insufficient to reduce or meet peak demand;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the risk to generation reliability when generation peak reserve margins on Oahu are strained;
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | fuel oil price changes, performance by suppliers of their fuel oil delivery obligations and the continued availability to the electric utilities of
their energy cost adjustment clauses (ECACs);
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the impact of fuel price volatility on customer satisfaction and political and regulatory support for the utilities;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the risks associated with increasing reliance on renewable energy, as contemplated under the Energy Agreement, including the availability and cost of
non-fossil fuel supplies for renewable generation and the operational impacts of adding intermittent sources of renewable energy to the electric grid;
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the ability of IPPs to deliver the firm capacity anticipated in their power purchase agreements (PPAs);
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the ability of the electric utilities to negotiate, periodically, favorable fuel supply and collective bargaining agreements;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | new technological developments that could affect the operations and prospects of HEI and its subsidiaries (including HECO and its subsidiaries and ASB
and its subsidiaries) or their competitors;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| |  |  | federal, state, county and international governmental and regulatory actions, such as changes in laws, rules and regulations applicable to HEI, HECO,
ASB and their subsidiaries (including changes in taxation, regulatory changes resulting from the HCEI, environmental laws and regulations, the regulation of greenhouse gas emissions (GHG), healthcare reform, governmental fees and assessments (such
as Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation assessments), potential carbon cap and trade legislation that may fundamentally alter costs to produce electricity and accelerate the move to renewable generation, and the potential elimination of
the Office of Thrift Supervision (OTS) and the grandfathering provisions of the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999 (Gramm Act) that have permitted HEI to own ASB);

HEI Consolidated

HEI and subsidiaries and lines of business.

HEI was incorporated in 1981 under the laws of the State of Hawaii and is a holding company with its principal subsidiaries engaged in electric utility, banking and other businesses operating primarily in
the State of Hawaii. HEIs predecessor, HECO, was incorporated under the laws of the Kingdom of Hawaii (now the State of Hawaii) on October 13, 1891. As a result of a 1983 corporate reorganization, HECO became an HEI subsidiary and common
shareholders of HECO became common shareholders of HEI.

HECO and its operating utility subsidiaries, Hawaii Electric Light
Company, Inc. (HELCO) and Maui Electric Company, Limited (MECO), are regulated electric public utilities. HECO also owns all the common securities of HECO Capital Trust III (a Delaware statutory trust), which was formed to effect the issuance of $50
million of cumulative quarterly income preferred securities in 2004, for the benefit of HECO, HELCO and MECO. In December 2002, HECO formed a subsidiary, Renewable Hawaii, Inc., to invest in renewable energy projects. In September 2007,
HECO formed another subsidiary, Uluwehiokama Biofuels Corp. (UBC), to invest in a biodiesel refining plant to be built on the island of Maui, which project has been terminated.

Besides HECO and its subsidiaries, HEI also currently owns directly or indirectly the following subsidiaries: American Savings
Holdings, Inc. (ASHI) (a holding company) and its subsidiary, ASB, and the subsidiaries of ASB; Pacific Energy Conservation Services, Inc. (PECS); HEI Properties, Inc. (HEIPI); HEI Investments, Inc.; Hawaiian Electric Industries Capital Trusts II
and III (formed in 1997 to be available for trust securities financings); and The Old Oahu Tug Service, Inc. (TOOTS).

ASB,
acquired by HEI in 1988, is one of the largest financial institutions in the State of Hawaii with assets of $4.9 billion as of December 31, 2009.

HEIPI, whose predecessor company was formed in February 1998, holds venture capital investments (in companies based in Hawaii and on the U.S. mainland) with a carrying value of $1.3 million as of
December 31, 2009.

HEI Investment Corp. (HEIIC), incorporated in May 1984 primarily to make passive
investments in corporate securities and other long-term investments, changed its name to HEI Investments, Inc. (HEIII) in January 2000. HEIII is not an investment company regulated under the Investment Company Act of 1940. HEIIIs
long-term investments previously consisted primarily of investments in leveraged leases, the last of which was sold in November 2007. HEIII filed articles of dissolution in 2008 and substantially completed winding up its affairs during 2009.

PECS was formed in 1994 and currently is a contract services company providing windfarm operational and maintenance services
to an affiliated electric utility that will cease such services when the windfarm is dismantled in 2010.

In November 1999,
Hawaiian Tug & Barge Corp. (HTB) sold substantially all of its operating assets and the stock of Young Brothers, Limited (YB) for a nominal gain, changed its name to TOOTS and ceased maritime freight transportation operations. TOOTS
currently administers certain employee and retiree-related benefits programs and monitors matters related to its former operations and the operations of its former subsidiary.

##### Table of Contents

Recent developments and updates (to information incorporated by reference into this Form
10-K from HEIs and HECOs MD&As and HEIs and HECOs Consolidated Financial Statements in HEI Exhibit 13 and HECO Exhibit 99 to the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 19, 2010) are included in
the discussions below.

Commitments and contingencies.

See HEI ConsolidatedSelected contractual obligations and commitments in HEIs MD&A and HECOs Commitments and contingencies below.

Regulation.

HEI and HECO
are each holding companies within the meaning of the Public Utility Holding Company Act of 2005 and implementing regulations (2005 Act) and filed a required notification of that status on February 21, 2006. The 2005 Act requires holding
companies and their subsidiaries to grant the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) access to books and records relating to FERCs jurisdictional rates, and also imposes certain record retention, accounting and reporting requirements.
However, FERC granted the application of HEI and HECO for a waiver of these record retention, accounting and reporting requirements, effective May 2006.

HEI is subject to an agreement entered into with the PUC (the PUC Agreement) which, among other things, requires HEI to provide the PUC with periodic financial information and other reports concerning
intercompany transactions and other matters. It also prohibits the electric utilities from loaning funds to HEI or its nonutility subsidiaries and from redeeming common stock of the electric utility subsidiaries without PUC approval. Further, the
PUC could limit the ability of the electric utility subsidiaries to pay dividends on their common stock. See Restrictions on dividends and other distributions and Electric utilityRegulation below.

As a result of the acquisition of ASB, HEI and ASHI are subject to OTS registration, supervision and reporting requirements as savings and
loan holding companies. In the event the OTS has reasonable cause to believe that any activity of HEI or ASHI constitutes a serious risk to the financial safety, soundness or stability of ASB, the OTS is authorized under the Home Owners Loan
Act of 1933, as amended, to impose certain restrictions on HEI, ASHI and/or any of their subsidiaries. Possible restrictions include precluding or limiting: (i) the payment of dividends by ASB; (ii) transactions between ASB, HEI or ASHI,
and their subsidiaries or affiliates; and (iii) the activities of ASB that might expose ASB to the liabilities of HEI and/or ASHI and their other affiliates. See Restrictions on dividends and other distributions below.

OTS regulations generally prohibit savings and loan holding companies and their nonthrift subsidiaries from engaging in activities other
than those which are specifically enumerated in the regulations. However, the OTS regulations provide for an exemption which is available to HEI and ASHI if ASB satisfies the qualified thrift lender (QTL) test discussed under
BankRegulationQualified thrift lender test. ASB met the QTL test at all times during 2009; however, the failure of ASB to satisfy the QTL test in the future could result in a need for HEI to divest ASB. In addition, currently
proposed federal legislation could eliminate this exemption. See Legislation and regulation in HEIs MD&A.

Restrictions on dividends and other distributions.HEI is a legal entity separate and distinct from its various subsidiaries. As a holding company with no significant operations of its own, HEIs principal sources of
funds are dividends or other distributions from its operating subsidiaries, borrowings and sales of equity. The rights of HEI and, consequently, its creditors and shareholders, to participate in any distribution of the assets of any of its
subsidiaries are subject to the prior claims of the creditors and preferred stockholders of such subsidiary, except to the extent that claims of HEI in its capacity as a creditor are recognized as primary.

The abilities of certain of HEIs subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to HEI are subject to contractual and
regulatory restrictions. Under the PUC Agreement, in the event that the consolidated common stock equity of the electric utility subsidiaries falls below 35% of the total capitalization of the electric utilities (including the current maturities of
long-term debt, but excluding short-term borrowings), the electric utility subsidiaries would, absent PUC approval, be restricted in their payment of cash dividends to 80% of the earnings available for the payment of dividends in the current fiscal
year and preceding five years, less the amount of dividends paid during that period. The PUC Agreement also provides that the foregoing dividend restriction shall not be construed as relinquishing any right the PUC may have to review the dividend
policies of the electric utility subsidiaries. As of December 31, 2009, the consolidated common stock equity of HEIs electric utility subsidiaries was 54% of their total capitalization (as calculated for purposes of the PUC
Agreement). As of December 31, 2009, HECO and its subsidiaries had common stock equity of $1.3 billion of which approximately $588 million was not available for transfer to HEI without regulatory approval.

##### Table of Contents

The ability of ASB to make capital distributions to HEI and other affiliates is restricted
under federal law. Subject to a limited exception for stock redemptions that do not result in any decrease in ASBs capital and would improve ASBs financial condition, ASB is prohibited from declaring any dividends, making any other
capital distributions, or paying a management fee to a controlling person if, following the distribution or payment, ASB would be deemed to be undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized or critically undercapitalized. See
BankRegulationPrompt corrective action. All capital distributions are subject to a prior indication of no objection by the OTS. Also see Note 12 to HEIs Consolidated Financial Statements.

HEI and its subsidiaries are also subject to debt covenants, preferred stock resolutions and the terms of guarantees that could limit their
respective abilities to pay dividends. The Company does not expect that the regulatory and contractual restrictions applicable to HEI and/or its subsidiaries will significantly affect the operations of HEI or its ability to pay dividends on its
common stock.

Environmental regulation. HEI and its subsidiaries are subject to federal and state statutes and governmental
regulations pertaining to water quality, air quality and other environmental factors. See the Environmental regulation discussions in the Electric utility and Bank sections below.

Under the terms of the agreement for the sale of YB, HEI and TOOTS had certain environmental obligations arising from conditions existing
prior to the sale of YB, including potential obligations regarding petroleum releases in the Honolulu Harbor area. In 2003, TOOTS paid $250,000 to fund response activities related to the Honolulu Harbor area as a one-time cash-out payment in lieu of
continuing with further response activities.

Securities ratings.

See the Standard & Poors (S&P) and Moodys Investors Services (Moodys) ratings of HEIs and
HECOs securities and discussion under Liquidity and capital resources (both HEI Consolidated and Electric utility) in HEIs MD&A. These ratings reflect only the view, at the time the ratings are
issued, of the applicable rating agency from whom an explanation of the significance of such ratings may be obtained. There is no assurance that any such credit rating will remain in effect for any given period of time or that such rating will not
be lowered, suspended or withdrawn entirely by the applicable rating agency if, in such rating agencys judgment, circumstances so warrant. Any such lowering, suspension or withdrawal of any rating may have an adverse effect on the market price
or marketability of HEIs and/or HECOs securities, which could increase the cost of capital of HEI and HECO. Neither HEI nor HECO management can predict future rating agency actions or their effects on the future cost of capital of HEI or
HECO.

Revenue bonds are issued by the Department of Budget and Finance of the State of Hawaii for the benefit of HECO and its
subsidiaries, but the source of their repayment are the unsecured obligations of HECO and its subsidiaries under loan agreements and notes issued to the Department, including HECOs guarantees of its subsidiaries obligations. The payment
of principal and interest due on revenue bonds currently outstanding and issued prior to 2009 are insured either by Ambac Assurance Corporation, Financial Guaranty Insurance Company, MBIA Insurance Corporation (which bonds have been reinsured by
National Public Finance Guarantee Corp.) or Syncora Guarantee Inc. See the discussion of the downgrades of the ratings of these insurers under Electric UtilityLiquidity and capital resources in HEIs MD&A.

Moodys, in an issuer comment dated February 23, 2010, indicated that it views recent regulatory decisions by the PUC as being credit
supportive for the ratings of HEI and HECO, but will not result in any change in ratings or rating outlooks at this time. The issuer comment references the PUCs February 19, 2010 second interim decision in the HECO 2009 test year rate case and
the PUC order approving a joint final statement of position that if implemented would introduce a decoupling mechanism into rates for HECOs customers (see Generating reliability and reserve margin and Regulation,
respectively, below). The issuer comment states:

Moodys considers both actions to have positive credit implications for
the companies near-term and intermediate-term credit profiles. The $12.7 million rate increase for CT1 will have an immediate positive impact on HEIs and HECOs earnings and cash flow in 2010 as both companies credit metrics
remain weak for their current rating due in part to the impact that the Hawaiian economy has had on financial results. Moreover, the Order on decoupling, while not affecting near-term financial results, is an important first step in beginning to
address the regulatory lag that has historically affected HEIs and HECOs financial results negatively and helps to advance statewide objectives contemplated under the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative.

S&P, in a bulletin dated February 25, 2010, indicated that the two recent rulings by the
PUC mentioned above do not affect the ratings on HECO or HEI. S&P stated that the rulings demonstrate progress in managing the full regulatory docket for HECO, but that the ongoing need for timely rate relief remains a factor in the
negative outlook assigned to the utility and its parent. The bulletin further states:

While we view the orders as
constructive, delays in rulings are contributing to regulatory lag. The negative outlook also reflects a weak island economy, the parents reliance on the utility for distributions given HECOs growing capital program, and deteriorating
credit metrics.

Employees.

As of December 31, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005 the Company had full-time employees as follows:



|                          |  |       |  |       |  |       |  |       |  |

|                          |  | 3,451 |  | 3,560 |  | 3,520 |  | 3,447 |  | 3,383

The utilities employee count increased in 2009
due in part to new positions to meet increased workload, to provide staffing for Campbell Industrial Park Combustion Turbine No. 1 (CIP CT-1) and to carry out strategies such as the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative (HCEI) and related Energy
Agreement. ASBs employee count decreased in 2009 due primarily to staff reductions resulting from ASBs performance improvement project and the Bishop Insurance Agency closure.

The employees of HEI and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, other than the electric utilities, are not covered by any collective
bargaining agreement. As of December 31, 2009, 56% of HECO and its subsidiaries employees were covered by collective bargaining agreements. See the discussion of Collective bargaining agreements in Note 3 to HEIs
Consolidated Financial Statements.

Properties.

HEI leases office space from nonaffiliated lessors in downtown Honolulu under leases that expire in May 2011. HEI also subleases office space in a downtown Honolulu building leased by HECO under a lease
that expires in November 2021, with an option to extend to November 2024.

Electric utility

HECO and subsidiaries and service areas.

HECO, HELCO and MECO are regulated operating electric public utilities engaged in the production, purchase, transmission, distribution and sale of electricity on the islands of Oahu; Hawaii; and Maui,
Lanai and Molokai, respectively. HECO acquired MECO in 1968 and HELCO in 1970. In 2009, the electric utilities revenues and net income amounted to approximately 88% and 96%, respectively, of HEIs consolidated revenues and net income,
compared to approximately 89% and 102% in 2008 and approximately 83% and 62% in 2007, respectively.

The islands of Oahu,
Maui, Lanai, Molokai and Hawaii have a combined population estimated at 1.2 million, or approximately 95% of the Hawaii population, and comprise a service area of 5,766 square miles. The principal communities served include Honolulu (on Oahu),
Wailuku and Kahului (on Maui) and Hilo and Kona (on Hawaii). The service areas also include numerous suburban communities, resorts, U.S. Armed Forces installations and agricultural operations. The state has granted HECO, MECO and HELCO nonexclusive
franchises, which authorize the utilities to construct, operate and maintain facilities over and under public streets and sidewalks. Each of these franchises will continue in effect for an indefinite period of time until forfeited, altered, amended
or repealed.

For additional information about HECO, see HECOs MD&A, HECOs Quantitative and Qualitative
Disclosures about Market Risk and HECOs Consolidated Financial Statements, which are incorporated by reference into Part II of this Form 10-K.

|* | As of December 31.
|- | ------------------

Seasonality.Kilowatthour (KWH) sales of HECO and its subsidiaries follow a seasonal pattern, but they do not experience the extreme seasonal variation due to extreme weather variations like some electric utilities on the U.S. mainland. KWH sales in Hawaii
tend to increase in the warmer summer months, probably as a result of increased demand for air conditioning.

Significant customers.HECO and its subsidiaries derived approximately 10% in 2009, 10% in 2008 and 9% in 2007 of their operating revenues from the sale of electricity to various federal government agencies.

Under a Basic Ordering Agreement (BOA) with the federal Department of Defense (DOD) entered into in 2007, which expires in 2012, and earlier
BOAs and other agreements, HECO has completed energy conservation and other projects for federal agencies over the years, although the number of projects completed has decreased through the years.

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 mandated that federal buildings reduce energy consumption by up to 20% by fiscal year 2015 relative to base
fiscal year 2003 consumption to the extent that these measures are cost effective. The Act also establishes energy conservation goals at the state level for federally funded programs, stricter conservation measures for a variety of large
energy-consuming products and tax credits for energy efficient homes, solar energy, fuel cells and microturbine power plants; and includes other energy-related provisions. Executive Order 13514, adopted in 2009, expanded upon energy reduction and
environmental performance requirements set forth in Executive Orders 13123, 13149 and 13423. The Order sets the framework for sustainability goals for Federal agencies including making improvements in environmental, energy, and economic performance.
The Order requires agencies to set agency-defined targets for the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, as well as measure and manage steps to meet those targets. HECO continues to work with various federal agencies to implement measures that will
help them achieve their energy reduction objectives.

On October 20, 2008, the Governor of the State of Hawaii,
the State of Hawaii Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism, the Division of Consumer Advocacy of the State of Hawaii Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs, and HECO, on behalf of itself and its subsidiaries, HELCO and MECO,
signed an Energy Agreement, a comprehensive road map that moves Hawaii towards a future where 70% of its electricity and ground transportation needs will come from clean sources by the year 2030. Several facets of the HCEI, such as energy
efficiency, advanced metering infrastructure, pricing principles and new programs, are designed to assist all classes of customers in conserving energy, including HECOs largest customers. See Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative in Note
3 to HEIs Consolidated Financial Statements.

Neither HEI nor HECO management can predict with certainty the
impact of these or other governmental mandates or the HCEI on HEIs or HECOs future financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity.

Generating reliability and reserve margin.

HECO serves the island of Oahu and HELCO serves the island of
Hawaii. MECO has three separate electrical systemsone each on the islands of Maui, Molokai and Lanai. HECO, HELCO and MECO have isolated electrical systems that are not currently interconnected to each other or to any other electrical grid
and, thus, each maintains a higher level of reserve generation than is typically carried by interconnected mainland U.S. utilities, which are able to share reserve capacity. These higher levels of reserve margins are required to meet peak electric
demands, to provide for scheduled maintenance of generating units (including the units operated by IPPs relied upon for firm capacity) and to allow for the forced outage of the largest generating unit in the system.

HECOs CIP CT-1 was completed and placed into service (i.e., tied into the electrical grid and producing power) on August 3, 2009.
With CIP CT-1, HECOs reserve capacity is sufficient to meet its generating system reliability guideline. See Clean energy scenario planning, integrated resource planning, requirements for additional generating capacity and adequacy of
supply in HEIs MD&A under Electric utility.

On February 19, 2010, the PUC issued a second
interim decision and order (D&O) in the HECO 2009 test year rate case granting HECO an additional increase of $12.7 million in annual revenues. This change was implemented effective February 20, 2010. The second interim increase is to
recover the costs related to the CIP CT-1 and related transmission improvements, and is based on a return on average common equity of 10.50%, which was agreed to by the parties for purposes of an interim D&O, and a rate of return of 8.45% on an
average rate base of $1.251 billion. In the second interim D&O, the PUC stated that, pending receipt of an operational supply of biodiesel, it will allow HECO to operate CIP CT-1 as a traditional diesel peaking unit, which is more fuel
efficient than running the unit only on an emergency basis. HECO will provide a report to the PUC quarterly so the PUC can confirm HECO is making adequate progress in securing an operational supply of biodiesel. The generating unit has been
successfully tested on biodiesel, and in December 2009, HECO entered into a two-year contract with Renewable Energy Group Marketing and Logistics, LLC (REG) to supply biodiesel for the unit, subject to PUC approval which is pending. The total of
interim increases granted in the 2009 test year rate case amount to $73.8 million or 5.7% in annual revenues over effective rates at the time of the first interim increase, which granted HECO $61.1 million on August 3, 2009. If the
amounts collected pursuant to interim decisions exceed the amount of increase ultimately approved in the final D&O,

then the excess will have to be refunded to HECOs customers with interest. Management cannot predict the timing, or the ultimate outcome, of a final D&O in this rate case.

Integrated resource planning and clean energy scenario planning.

The PUC issued an order in 1992 requiring the energy utilities in Hawaii to develop integrated resource plans (IRPs), which may be approved, rejected or modified by the PUC. The goal of integrated
resource planning is to identify demand- and supply-side resources and integrate these resources for meeting near- and long-term consumer energy needs in an efficient and reliable manner at the lowest reasonable cost. In November 2008, the
parties to the Energy Agreement filed requests with the PUC to move from the IRP process to a new Clean Energy Scenario Planning (CESP) process intended to be used to determine future investments in transmission, distribution and generation that
will be necessary to facilitate high levels of renewable energy production. In November and December 2008, the PUC closed the utilities IRP dockets and directed them to suspend all activities pursuant to the IRP framework to allow for
resources to be diverted to the development of CESP frameworks. In May 2009, the PUC opened an investigative proceeding to examine the proposed CESP framework. See Clean energy scenario planning, integrated resource planning, requirements for
additional generating capacity and adequacy of supply in HEIs MD&A under Electric utility.

Nonutility
generation.

The Company has supported state and federal energy policies which encourage the development of renewable
energy sources that reduce the use of fuel oil. The Companys renewable energy sources and potential sources range from wind, solar, photovoltaic, geothermal, wave and hydroelectric power to energy produced by the burning of bagasse (sugarcane
waste), municipal waste and other biofuels.

HECO PPAs.HECO currently has three major PPAs. In March 1988, HECO entered into a
PPA with AES Barbers Point, Inc. (now known as AES Hawaii, Inc. (AES Hawaii)), a Hawaii-based, indirect subsidiary of The AES Corporation. The agreement with AES Hawaii, as amended, provides that, for a period of 30 years beginning
September 1992, HECO will purchase 180 megawatts (MW) of firm capacity. The AES Hawaii 180 MW coal-fired cogeneration plant utilizes a clean coal technology and is designed to sell sufficient steam to be a Qualifying
Facility (QF) under the Public Utility Regulatory Policies Act of 1978 (PURPA). On December 28, 2007, AES Hawaii filed an application with the FERC for a limited waiver of FERCs operating standard for a qualifying cogeneration
facility for 2007 because it determined that it will be unable to meet the QF operating standard for 2007. Under the PPA between HECO and AES Hawaii, any change in QF status does not affect either HECOs or AES Hawaiis obligations. In
2003, HECO consented to AES Hawaiis proposed refinancing and received consideration for its consent, primarily in the form of a PPA amendment that reduced the cost of firm capacity retroactive to June 1, 2003, which benefit is being
passed on to ratepayers through a reduction in rates. AES Hawaii also granted HECO an option, subject to certain conditions, to acquire an interest in portions of the AES Hawaii facility site that are not needed for the existing plant operations,
and which potentially could be used for the development of another coal-fired facility.

In October 1988, HECO entered into an
agreement with Kalaeloa Partners, L.P. (Kalaeloa), a limited partnership, which, through affiliates, contracted to design, build, operate and maintain a QF. The agreement with Kalaeloa, as amended, provided that HECO would purchase 180 MW of
firm capacity for a period of 25 years beginning in May 1991. The Kalaeloa facility is a combined-cycle operation, consisting of two oil-fired combustion turbines burning low sulfur fuel oil (LSFO) and a steam turbine that utilizes waste heat
from the combustion turbines, and is designed to sell sufficient steam to be a QF. Following two additional amendments, effective in 2005, Kalaeloa currently supplies HECO with 208 MW of firm capacity.

HECO also entered into a PPA in March 1986 and a firm capacity amendment in April 1991 with the City and County of Honolulu with
respect to a refuse-fired plant (HPower). The HPower facility currently supplies HECO with 46 MW of firm capacity. Under the amendment, HECO will purchase firm capacity until mid-2015. HPOWER is proposing an expansion to their facility which
will provide an additional 27 MW net to HECO beginning in 2012.

HECO purchases energy on an as-available basis from two
nonutility generators, which are qualifying cogeneration facilities at two oil refineries, Chevron USA, Inc. (10 MW) and Tesoro Hawaii Corporation (19 MW). Both contracts continue unless a party elects to terminate upon 90
days notice.

The PUC has allowed rate recovery for the purchased energy costs related to HECOs as-available energy PPAs
and for the firm capacity and purchased energy costs related to HECOs three major PPAs that provide a total of

434 MW of firm capacity, representing 24% of HECOs total net generating and firm purchased capacity on Oahu as of December 31, 2009.

HELCO and MECO PPAs.As of December 31, 2009, HELCO has PPAs for 90 MW and MECO has PPAs for 16 MW (includes 4 MW of
system protection) of firm capacity, which PPAs have been approved by the PUC.

HELCO has a 35-year PPA with Puna Geothermal
Venture (PGV) for 30 MW of firm capacity from its geothermal steam facility, which will expire on December 31, 2027. Since April 2009, PGVs output has been reduced due to problems with two of its production wells, but expects its output
to be restored to 30 MW by June 2010.

In October 1997, HELCO entered into an agreement with Encogen, which has been
succeeded by Hamakua Energy Partners, L. P. (HEP). The agreement requires HELCO to purchase up to 60 MW (net) of firm capacity for a period of 30 years, expiring on December 31, 2030. The dual-train combined-cycle DTCC facility, which
primarily burns naphtha, consists of two oil-fired combustion turbines and a steam turbine that utilizes waste heat from the combustion turbines.

MECO has a PPA with Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Company (HC&S) for 16 MW of firm capacity. The HC&S generating units primarily burn bagasse (sugar cane waste) along with secondary
fuels of diesel oil or coal. The PPA runs through December 31, 2014, and from year to year thereafter, subject to termination on or after December 31, 2014 on not less than two years prior written notice by either party.

HELCO and MECO purchase energy on an as-available basis from a number of nonutility generators, including hydroelectric facilities,
windfarms and photovoltaic systems. The PUC has allowed rate recovery for the firm capacity and purchased energy costs for HELCOs and MECOs approved firm capacity and as-available energy PPAs.

Fuel oil usage and supply.

The rate schedules of the Companys electric utility subsidiaries include ECACs under which electric rates (and consequently the revenues of the electric utility subsidiaries generally) are adjusted for changes in the weighted-average
price paid for fuel oil and certain components of purchased power, and the relative amounts of company-generated power and purchased power. See discussion of rates and issues relating to the ECAC below under Rates, and Electric
utilityCertain factors that may affect future results and financial conditionRegulation of electric utility rates and Electric utilityMaterial estimates and critical accounting policiesRevenues in HEIs
MD&A.

HECOs steam generating units burn LSFO. HECOs combustion turbine peaking units burn diesel fuel
(diesel) and B99 and B100 grade biodiesel (biodiesel) and diesel engine generating units burn diesel. HECOs new CIP CT-1 is being prepared to burn biodiesel. A HECO steam unit is being prepared for a co-firing project to burn a mixture of LSFO
and crude palm oil (CPO). MECOs and HELCOs steam generating units burn medium sulfur fuel oil (MSFO) and their combustion turbine and diesel engine generating units burn diesel and biodiesel.

In April 2004, HECO executed a 10-year extension of the existing contract, commencing January 1, 2005, for the purchase of LSFO with
Tesoro Hawaii Corporation (Tesoro) with no material changes in the primary commercial arrangements including volumes and pricing formulas. In December 2004, HECO executed long-term contracts with Chevron Products Company (Chevron) for the continued
use of certain Chevron fuel distribution facilities and for the operation and maintenance of certain HECO fuel distribution facilities. In March and April of 2004, HECO, HELCO and MECO executed 10-year extensions of existing contracts with Chevron
and Tesoro, commencing January 1, 2005, for the purchase of diesel and MSFO, including the use of certain petroleum storage and distribution facilities, with no material changes in the primary commercial arrangements including volumes and
pricing formulas.

On December 2, 2009, HECO and Chevron executed an amendment to their existing contract. The amendment
modified the pricing formula, which could result in higher prices. The amended agreement terminates on April 30, 2013, subject to automatic annual extensions unless either party gives notice of termination, and has been approved by the PUC on
an interim basis.

HECO and Tesoro are exploring whether there may be a mutually beneficial amendment to the terms of their
LSFO contract.

The electric utilities pay market-related prices for fuel supplies purchased under the Chevron and Tesoro
agreements.

In December 2009, HECO signed an operational volume contract with REG for a 2-year biodiesel supply for CIP CT-1,
subject to PUC approval, which is pending. HECO will pay for biodiesel purchased under this agreement on the basis of market-related prices for animal fat and other process feedstock.

In June 2009, HECO signed a one-time CPO supply contract with Sime Darby for use during the
steam unit co-firing demonstration project. In June 2009, MECO signed a one-time supply contract with Sime Darby for the purchase of one million gallons of biodiesel for use during its biodiesel demonstration project. PUC applications for contract
approval and cost recovery are awaiting PUC decisions and orders (D&Os).

The diesel supplies acquired by the Lanai
Division of MECO are purchased under the provisions of a contract with a local petroleum wholesaler, Lanai Oil Co., Inc., which provides for automatic one-year term extensions unless terminated by either party with 180 days notice.

See the fuel oil commitments information set forth in the Fuel contracts section in Note 3 to HEIs Consolidated Financial
Statements.

The following table sets forth the average cost of fuel oil used by HECO, HELCO and MECO to generate electricity

The prices of LSFO, MSFO and diesel fell in the early months of 2009, continuing the trend from late summer 2008. Fuel prices bottomed in spring 2009, thereafter gradually but steadily rising into the fourth quarter of 2009, such
that at the end of 2009, LSFO, MSFO and diesel prices were approximately 30%, 40% and 10%, respectively, above prices at the start of the year. During 2008, the prices of LSFO, MSFO and diesel rose with crude oil prices, peaked in the
August-September period, and gradually fell to end the year below the January 2008 level.

In December 2000, HELCO and
MECO executed contracts of private carriage with Hawaiian Interisland Towing, Inc. (HITI) for the employment of a double-hull tank barge for the shipment of MSFO and diesel supplies from their fuel suppliers facilities on Oahu to storage
locations on the islands of Hawaii and Maui, respectively, commencing January 1, 2002. The contracts were extended for a second 5-year term commencing January 1, 2007 and contain options for two additional 5-year extensions. On
August 14, 2007 the equity interest of Smith Maritime, Ltd., the parent company of HITI, was acquired by a subsidiary of K-Sea Transportation Partners L.P. (K-Sea), which provides refined petroleum products marine transportation, distribution
and logistics services in the U.S. domestic marine transportation industry.

K-Sea never takes title to the fuel oil or diesel
fuel, but does have custody and control while the fuel is in transit from Oahu. If there were an oil spill in transit, K-Sea is generally contractually obligated to indemnify HELCO and/or MECO for resulting clean-up costs, fines and damages. K-Sea
has liability insurance coverage for oil spill related damage in excess of $1 billion. State law provides a cap of $700 million on liability for releases of heavy fuel oil transported interisland by tank barge. In the event of a release,
HELCO and/or MECO may be responsible for any clean-up, damages, and/or fines that K-Sea or its insurance carrier does not cover.

The prices that HECO, HELCO and MECO pay for purchased energy from nonutility generators are generally linked to the price of oil. The AES Hawaii energy prices vary primarily with an inflation indicator. The energy prices for Kalaeloa,
which purchases LSFO from Tesoro, vary primarily with world LSFO prices. The HPower, HC&S and PGV energy prices are based on the electric utilities respective PUC-filed short-run avoided energy cost rates (which vary with their respective
composite fuel costs), subject to minimum floor rates specified in their approved PPAs. HEP energy prices vary primarily with HELCOs diesel costs.

The Company estimates that 74% of the net energy generated and purchased by HECO and its
subsidiaries in 2010 will be generated from the burning of fossil fuel oil. HECO generally maintains an average system fuel inventory level equivalent to 35 days of forward consumption. HELCO and MECO generally maintain an average system fuel
inventory level equivalent to approximately one months supply of both MSFO and diesel. The PPAs with AES Hawaii and HEP require that they maintain certain minimum fuel inventory levels.

Rates.

HECO, HELCO and
MECO are subject to the regulatory jurisdiction of the PUC with respect to rates, issuance of securities, accounting and certain other matters. See Regulation below.

All rate schedules of HECO and its subsidiaries contain ECACs as described previously. Under current law and practices, specific and
separate PUC approval is not required for each rate change pursuant to automatic rate adjustment clauses previously approved by the PUC. All other rate increases require the prior approval of the PUC after public and contested case hearings. PURPA
requires the PUC to periodically review the ECACs of electric and gas utilities in the state, and such clauses, as well as the rates charged by the utilities generally, are subject to change. Further, Act 162 may impact the ECACs. See Act 162
discussion in Energy cost adjustment clauses under Commitments and contingencies in Note 3 to HEIs Consolidated Financial Statements.

affect future results and financial conditionCompetition in HEIs MD&A.

Electric and magnetic fields.

The generation, transmission and use of electricity produces low-frequency (50Hz-60Hz) electrical and magnetic fields (EMF). While EMF has
been classified as a possible human carcinogen by more than one public health organization and remains the subject of ongoing studies and evaluations, no definite causal relationship between EMF and health risks has been clearly demonstrated to date
and there are no federal standards in the U.S. limiting occupational or residential exposure to 50Hz-60Hz EMF. HECO and its subsidiaries are continuing to monitor the ongoing research and continue to participate in utility industry funded
studies on EMF and, where technically feasible and economically reasonable, continue to pursue a policy of prudent avoidance in the design and installation of new transmission and distribution facilities. Management cannot predict the impact, if
any, the EMF issue may have on HECO, HELCO and MECO in the future.

Global climate change and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction.

The Company shares the concerns of many regarding the potential effects of global warming and the human contributions to
this phenomenon, including burning of fossil fuels for electricity production, transportation, manufacturing and agricultural activities, as well as deforestation. Recognizing that effectively addressing global warming requires commitment by the
private sector, all levels of government, and the public, the Company is committed to taking direct action to mitigate greenhouse gas

PPAs, interim increases, HCEI, ECACs, major projects, the Honolulu Harbor environmental investigation and response, compliance with environmental regulations, disputes with third parties and collective bargaining agreements.

Regulation.

The PUC
regulates the rates, issuance of securities, accounting and certain other aspects of the operations of HECO and its electric utility subsidiaries. See the previous discussion under Rates and the discussions under Electric
utilityResults of operationsMost recent rate requests and Electric utilityCertain factors that may affect future results and financial conditionRegulation of electric utility rates in HEIs MD&A.

Any adverse decision or policy made or adopted by the PUC, or any prolonged delay in rendering a decision, could have a
material adverse effect on consolidated HECOs and the Companys financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

On October 20, 2008, HECO signed an Energy Agreement (see Significant customers above and Note 3 to HEIs Consolidated Financial Statements) setting forth goals, objectives and actions with the purpose of
decreasing Hawaiis dependence on imported fossil fuels through substantial increases in the use of renewable energy and implementation of new programs intended to secure greater energy efficiency and conservation. As a result of the Energy
Agreement, in May 2009, the PUC opened an investigative proceeding to examine a proposed Clean Energy Scenario Planning (CESP) framework which is intended to be used to determine future investments in transmission, distribution and generation that
will be necessary to facilitate high levels of renewable energy production, and to replace the existing integrated resource planning process. The PUC is also reviewing a number of HECO applications to implement Energy Agreement commitments,
including feed-in tariffs. On February 19, 2010, the PUC issued a D&O approving the joint final statement of position on decoupling submitted by the utilities and the Consumer Advocate in May 2009, as amended by subsequent filings and
modified by proposals in HECOs motion for interim approval, subject to the PUCs final D&O in the proceeding. Generally, the effect of such filings and proposals would be to: decouple revenues from usage and allow a periodic true-up
of sales revenues through a revenue balancing account; provide an annual adjustment to electric revenues to account for indexed changes in expenses through a revenue adjustment mechanism; and, provide an annual revenue adjustment mechanism to
account for capital additions during the year. HECO and the Consumer Advocate are required to jointly prepare and file a proposed final D&O to define implementation details of the February 19, 2010 D&O within 30 days for the PUCs
review and approval. The other parties in the docket will have an opportunity to comment on the proposed final D&O within five days of such filing. Management cannot predict the timing or the ultimate outcome of the final D&O in this
proceeding.

In 2009, the State Legislature amended Hawaiis RPS law to require electric utilities to meet an RPS of 10%,
15%, 25% and 40% by December 31, 2010, 2015, 2020 and 2030, respectively. The amended RPS law is consistent with the commitment in the Energy Agreement.

Certain transactions between HEIs electric public utility subsidiaries (HECO, HELCO and MECO) and HEI and affiliated interests are subject to regulation by the PUC. An affiliated
interest is defined by statute and includes officers and directors of a public utility, every person owning or holding, directly or indirectly, 10% or more of the voting securities of a public utility, and corporations which have in common
with a public utility more than one-third of the directors of that public utility. All contracts (including summaries of unwritten agreements) made on or after July 1, 1988 of $300,000 or more in a calendar year for management, supervisory,
construction, engineering, accounting, legal, financial and similar services and for the sale, lease or transfer of property between a public utility and affiliated interests must be filed with the PUC to be effective, and the PUC may issue cease
and desist orders if such contracts are not filed. All such affiliated contracts for capital expenditures (except for real property) must be accompanied by comparative price quotations from two nonaffiliates, unless the quotations cannot
be obtained without substantial

expense. Moreover, all transfers of $300,000 or more of real property between a public utility and affiliated interests require the prior approval of the PUC and proof that the transfer is in the
best interest of the public utility and its customers. If the PUC, in its discretion, determines that an affiliated contract is unreasonable or otherwise contrary to the public interest, the utility must either revise the contract or risk
disallowance of the payments for ratemaking purposes. In ratemaking proceedings, a utility must also prove the reasonableness of payments made to affiliated interests under any affiliated contract of $300,000 or more by clear and convincing
evidence.

In December 1996, the PUC issued an order in a docket that had been opened to review the relationship between HEI
and HECO and the effects of that relationship on the operations of HECO. The order adopted the report of the consultant the PUC had retained and ordered HECO to continue to provide the PUC with periodic status reports on its compliance with the PUC
Agreement (pursuant to which HEI became the holding company of HECO). HECO files such status reports annually. In the order, the PUC also required HECO, HELCO and MECO to present a comprehensive analysis of the impact that the holding company
structure and investments in nonutility subsidiaries have on a case-by-case basis on the cost of capital to each utility in future rate cases and remove any such effects from the cost of capital. The PUC has not disputed, in subsequent rate cases,
the presentations made by HECO, HELCO and MECO that there was no evidence that would modify the PUCs finding that HECOs access to capital did not suffer as a result of HEIs involvement in nonutility activities and that HEIs
diversification did not permanently raise or lower the cost of capital incorporated into the rates paid by HECOs utility customers.

HECO and its electric utility subsidiaries are not subject to regulation by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission under the Federal Power Act, except under Sections 210 through 212 (added by Title II
of PURPA and amended by the Energy Policy Act of 1992), which permit the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to order electric utilities to interconnect with qualifying cogenerators and small power producers, and to wheel power to other electric
utilities. Title I of PURPA, which relates to retail regulatory policies for electric utilities, and Title VII of the Energy Policy Act of 1992, which addresses transmission access, also apply to HECO and its electric utility subsidiaries. HECO and
its electric utility subsidiaries are also required to file various operational reports with the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission. The Company cannot predict the extent to which cogeneration or transmission access will reduce its electrical
loads, reduce its current and future generating and transmission capability requirements or affect its financial condition, results of operations or liquidity.

Because they are located in the State of Hawaii, HECO and its subsidiaries are exempt by statute from limitations set forth in the Powerplant and Industrial Fuel Use Act of 1978 on the use of petroleum as
a primary energy source.

See also HEIRegulation above.

Environmental regulation. HECO, HELCO and MECO, like other utilities, are subject to periodic inspections by federal, state, and in some
cases, local environmental regulatory agencies, including, but not limited to, agencies responsible for regulation of water quality, air quality, hazardous and other waste, and hazardous materials. These inspections may result in the identification
of items needing corrective or other action. When the corrective or other necessary action is taken, no further regulatory action is expected. Except as otherwise disclosed in this report (see Certain factors that may affect future results and
financial conditionEnvironmental matters for HEI Consolidated, the Electric utility and the Bank sections in HEIs MD&A and Note 3 to HEIs Consolidated Financial Statements, which are incorporated herein by reference), the
Company believes that each subsidiary has appropriately responded to environmental conditions requiring action and that, as a result of such actions, such environmental conditions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company or HECO.

Water quality controls.The generating stations, substations and other utility subsidiaries facilities operate under federal and state
water quality regulations and permits, including but not limited to the Clean Water Act National Pollution Discharge Elimination System (governing point source discharges, including wastewater and storm water discharges), Underground Injection
Control (regulating disposal of wastewater into the subsurface), the Spill Prevention, Control and Countermeasure (SPCC) program, the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA), and other regulations associated with discharges of oil and other substances to
surface water.

OPA governs actual or threatened oil releases and establishes strict and joint and several liability for
responsible parties for (1) oil removal costs incurred by the federal government or the state, and (2) damages to natural resources and real or personal property. Responsible parties include vessel owners and operators of on-shore
facilities. OPA imposes fines and jail terms ranging in severity depending on how the release was caused.

##### Table of Contents

During 2009 and up through February 25, 2010, HECO, HELCO and MECO did not experience
any significant petroleum releases. See the discussion concerning the ongoing Honolulu Harbor investigation under Environmental regulation in Note 3 to HEIs Consolidated Financial Statements. Except as otherwise disclosed, the
Company believes that each subsidiarys costs of responding to petroleum releases to date will not have a material adverse effect on the respective subsidiary or the Company.

EPA regulations under OPA also require certain facilities that store petroleum to prepare and implement SPCC Plans in order to prevent
releases of petroleum to navigable waters of the U.S. HECO, HELCO and MECO facilities subject to the SPCC program are in compliance with these requirements. In July 2002, the EPA amended the SPCC regulations to include facilities, such as
substations, that use (as opposed to store) petroleum products. HECO, HELCO and MECO have determined that the amended SPCC program applies to a number of their substations. Since 2002, the EPA issued several extensions of the compliance dates for
the amended regulations. The final compliance date is now November 10, 2010. HECO, HELCO and MECO have been developing and implementing SPCC plans for all facilities that are subject to the amended SPCC requirements and will be in full
compliance by the final compliance date.

For a discussion of section 316(b) of the federal Clean Water Act, related
U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) rules and their possible application to the electric utilities, see Environmental regulation in Note 3 to HEIs Consolidated Financial Statements.

Air quality controls.The generating stations of the utility subsidiaries operate under air pollution control permits issued by the Department of
Health of the State of Hawaii (DOH) and, in a limited number of cases, by the EPA. The entire electric utility industry has been affected by the 1990 amendments to the Clean Air Act (CAA), changes to the National Ambient Air Quality Standard (NAAQS)
for ozone, and adoption of a NAAQS for fine particulate matter. See Electric utilityLegislation and regulationAir quality regulation in HEIs MD&A for recent EPA actions to NAAQS.

For discussions of the July 1999 Regional Haze Rule amendments, EPA Hazardous Air Pollutant control regulation, and the global climate
change and greenhouse gas emissions reduction and their possible applicability to the electric utility, see Environmental regulation in Note 3 to HEIs Consolidated Financial Statements.

CAA operating permits (Title V permits) have been issued for all affected generating units.

Hazardous waste and toxic substances controls.The operations of the electric utility and former freight transportation subsidiaries of HEI are
subject to EPA regulations that implement provisions of the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act (RCRA), the Superfund Amendments and Reauthorization Act (SARA) and the Toxic Substances Control Act. In 2001, the DOH obtained primacy to operate
state-authorized RCRA (hazardous waste) programs.

Both federal and state RCRA provisions identify certain wastes as hazardous
and set forth measures that must be taken in the handling, storage, treatment, disposal and transportation of these wastes. Some wastes generated at steam electric generating stations possess characteristics that subject them to RCRA regulations.
Since October 1986, all HECO generating stations have operated RCRA-exempt wastewater treatment units to treat potentially regulated wastes from occasional boiler waterside and fireside cleaning operations. Steam generating stations at MECO and
HELCO also operate similar RCRA-exempt wastewater management systems.

The EPA issued a final regulatory determination on
May 22, 2000, concluding that fossil fuel combustion wastes do not warrant regulation as hazardous under RCRA. This determination allows for more flexibility in waste management strategies. The electric utilities waste characterization
programs continue to demonstrate the adequacy of the existing treatment systems. Waste recharacterization studies indicate that treatment facility waste streams are nonhazardous.

RCRA underground storage tank (UST) regulations require all facilities with USTs used for storing petroleum products to comply with leak
detection, spill prevention and new tank standard retrofit requirements. All HECO, HELCO and MECO USTs currently meet these standards and continue in operation.

The Emergency Planning and Community Right-to-Know Act under SARA Title III requires HECO, HELCO and MECO to report potentially hazardous chemicals present in their facilities in order to provide the
public with information so that emergency procedures can be established to protect the public in the event of hazardous chemical releases. All HECO, HELCO and MECO facilities are in compliance with applicable annual reporting requirements to the
State Emergency Planning Commission, the Local Emergency Planning Committee and local fire

departments. Since January 1, 1998, the steam electric industry category has been subject to Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) reporting requirements. All HECO, HELCO and MECO facilities are in
compliance with TRI reporting requirements.

The Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA) regulations specify procedures for the
handling and disposal of polychlorinated biphenyls (PCB), a compound found in some transformer and capacitor dielectric fluids. The TSCA regulations also apply to responses to releases of PCB to the environment. HECO, HELCO and MECO have instituted
procedures to monitor compliance with these regulations. In addition, HECO and its subsidiaries have implemented a program to identify and replace PCB transformers and capacitors in their systems. Management believes that all HECO, HELCO and MECO
facilities are currently in compliance with PCB regulations.

Hawaiis Environmental Response Law, as amended (ERL),
governs releases of hazardous substances, including oil, to the environment in areas within the states jurisdiction. Responsible parties under the ERL are jointly, severally and strictly liable for a release of a hazardous substance.
Responsible parties include owners or operators of a facility where a hazardous substance comes to be located and any person who at the time of disposal of the hazardous substance owned or operated any facility at which such hazardous substance was
disposed. The DOH issued final rules (the State Contingency Plan) implementing the ERL in August 1995.

HECO, HELCO and MECO,
like other utilities, periodically identify leaking petroleum-containing equipment such as USTs, piping and transformers. In a few instances, small amounts of PCBs have been identified in the leaking equipment. Each subsidiary reports releases from
such equipment when and as required by applicable law and addresses impacts due to the releases in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.

Research and development.

HECO and its subsidiaries expensed approximately $4.4 million,
$4.0 million and $4.0 million in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively, for research and development (R&D). In 2009, 2008 and 2007, the electric utilities contributions to the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) accounted for
approximately half of the R&D expenses. There were also utility expenditures in 2009, 2008 and 2007 related to new technologies, customer use and pricing (e.g., peak pricing and tiered rates base on usage), biofuels and other renewables (e.g.,
wind power integration).

Properties.

The utilities own transmission lines, distribution lines, underground cables, poles (some jointly) and towers. Electric lines are located over or under public and nonpublic properties. Lines are added
when needed to serve increased loads and/or for reliability reasons. In some design districts on Oahu, lines must be placed underground. Under Hawaii law, the PUC generally must determine whether new 46 kilovolt (kV), 69 kV or 138 kV
lines can be constructed overhead or must be placed underground.

See HECO and subsidiaries and service areas
above for a discussion of the nonexclusive franchises of HECO and subsidiaries. Most of the leases, easements and licenses for HECOs, HELCOs and MECOs lines have been recorded.

See Generation statistics above and Limited insurance in HEIs MD&A for a further discussion of some of the
electric utility properties.

HECO owns and operates four generating plants on the island of Oahu at Honolulu, Waiau, Kahe and Campbell
Industrial Park. These plants, along with distributed generators (at three substation sites, at HECOs Kalaeloa pole yard and at HECOs Iwilei tank farm), have an aggregate net generating capability of 1,351.1 MW as of
December 31, 2009. The four plants are situated on HECO-owned land having a combined area of 555 acres and one 3-acre parcel of land under a lease expiring December 31, 2018. In addition, HECO owns a total of 139 acres of land on
which substations, transformer vaults, distribution baseyards and the Kalaeloa cogeneration facility are located.

HECO owns
overhead transmission lines, overhead distribution lines, underground cables, poles (fully owned or jointly owned) and steel or aluminum high voltage transmission towers. The transmission system operates at 46 kV and 138 kV. The total capacity
of HECOs transmission and distribution substations was 7,035,000 kilovoltamperes as of December 31, 2009.

HECO owns buildings and approximately 11.6 acres of land located in Honolulu which houses its operating, engineering and information services departments and a warehousing center. It also leases an office building and certain office spaces
in Honolulu. The lease for the office building expires in November 2021, with an option to extend through November 2024. The leases for certain office spaces expire on various dates from November 30, 2010 through November 30,
2017 with options to extend to various dates through January 31, 2020.

HECO owns land at Campbell Industrial Park used to situate fuel storage facilities with a
combined usable capacity of 844,847 barrels of fuel, which land is included in the power plant acreage above. HECO also has fuel storage facilities at each of its plant sites with a combined usable capacity of 874,269 barrels, as well as underground
fuel pipelines that transport fuel from HECOs tank farm at Campbell Industrial Park to HECOs power plants at Waiau and Kahe. HECO also owns a fuel storage facility at its Iwilei site with a combined usable capacity of 76,739 barrels, and
an underground pipeline that transports fuel from that site to its Honolulu power plant.

HELCO owns and operates five generating
plants on the island of Hawaii, two at Hilo and one at each of Waimea, Keahole and Puna, along with distributed generators at substation sites. These plants have an aggregate net generating capability of 195.5 MW as of
December 31, 2009 (excluding several small run-of-river hydro units and a small windfarm). The plants are situated on HELCO-owned land having a combined area of approximately 44 acres. The distributed generators are located within
HELCO-owned substation sites having a combined area of approximately 4 acres. HELCO also owns fuel storage facilities at these sites with a total maximum usable capacity of 66,387 barrels of bunker oil, and 83,819 barrels of diesel. There are
an additional 30,341 barrels of diesel and 22,770 barrels of bunker oil storage capacity for HELCO-owned fuel off-site at Chevron-owned terminalling facilities. HELCO pays a storage fee to Chevron and has no other interest in the property, tanks or
other infrastructure situated on Chevrons property. HELCO also owns 6 acres of land in Kona, which is used for a baseyard, and one acre of land in Hilo, which houses its accounting, customer services and administrative offices. HELCO also
leases 3.7 acres of land for its baseyard in Hilo under a lease expiring in 2030. In addition, HELCO owns a total of approximately 100 acres of land, and leases a total of approximately 8.5 acres of land, on which hydro facilities, substations
and switching stations, microwave facilities, and transmission lines are located. The deeds to the sites located in Hilo contain certain restrictions, but the restrictions do not materially interfere with the use of the sites for public utility
purposes. HELCO occupies 78 acres of land (located in Kamuela on the island of Hawaii) for the Lalamilo windfarm (with an aggregate net capability of 0.3 MW as of December 31, 2009), pursuant to a long-term agreement with the Water
Commission of the County of Hawaii expiring in 2010. HELCO is making preparations to dismantle the site and return it to the Water Commission of the County of Hawaii by the end of the current lease term.

MECOowns and operates two generating plants on the island of Maui, at Kahului and Maalaea, with an aggregate net generating capability of
246.3 MW as of December 31, 2009. The plants are situated on MECO-owned land having a combined area of 28.6 acres. MECO also owns fuel oil storage facilities at these sites with a total maximum usable capacity of 176,355 barrels
of fuel. MECO owns two 1 MW stand-by diesel generators and a 6,000 gallon fuel storage tank located in Hana. MECO owns 65.7 acres of undeveloped land at Waena. Prior to September 12, 2007, the Waena land was used for agricultural purposes
by the former landowner under a license agreement dated November 19, 1996. On September 12, 2007, the parties executed an amendment, which terminated the license with respect to a portion of the property measuring approximately 15 acres,
which has been identified as the site for a proposed biofuel plant. The September 12, 2007 amendment extended the term of the license for the remainder of the parcel on a month-to-month basis, terminable by either party upon thirty days written
notice until the area is required for development by MECO for utility purposes, or until July 31, 2009, whichever occurs first. MECO is presently negotiating another amendment to the license which would allow the former land owner to continue
to use the remainder of the parcel for agricultural purposes.

MECOs administrative offices and engineering and
distribution departments are located on 9.1 acres of MECO-owned land in Kahului.

MECO also owns and operates smaller
distribution systems, generation systems (with an aggregate net capability of 21.9 MW as of December 31, 2009) and fuel storage facilities on the islands of Lanai and Molokai, primarily on land owned by MECO.

Bank

General.

ASB was granted a federal savings bank charter in January 1987. Prior to that time, ASB had operated since 1925 as the Hawaii division of
American Savings & Loan Association of Salt Lake City, Utah. As of December 31, 2009, ASB was one of the largest financial institutions in the State of Hawaii based on total assets of $4.9 billion and deposits of
$4.1 billion. In 2009, ASBs revenues and net income amounted to approximately 12% and 26% of HEIs consolidated revenues and net income, respectively, compared to approximately 11% and 20% in 2008 and approximately 17% and 63% in
2007, respectively.

At the time of HEIs acquisition of ASB in 1988, HEI agreed with the OTS
predecessor regulatory agency that ASBs regulatory capital would be maintained at a level of at least 6% of ASBs total liabilities, or at such greater amount as may be required from time to time by regulation. Under the agreement,
HEIs obligation to contribute additional capital to insure that ASB would have the capital level required by the OTS was limited to a maximum aggregate amount of approximately $65.1 million. As of December 31, 2009, as a result of
certain HEI contributions of capital to ASB, HEIs maximum obligation to contribute additional capital has been reduced to approximately $28.3 million. ASB is subject to OTS regulations on dividends and other distributions applicable to
financial institutions and ASB must receive a letter of non-objection from the OTS before it can declare and pay a dividend to HEI.

ASBs earnings depend primarily on its net interest incomethe difference between the interest income earned on earning assets (loans receivable and investment and mortgage-related securities) and the interest expense incurred on
costing liabilities (deposit liabilities and other borrowings, including advances from the Federal Home Loan Bank (FHLB) of Seattle and securities sold under agreements to repurchase). Other factors affecting ASBs operating results include its
provision for loan losses, fee income, other noninterest income (including gains and losses on sales of securities and notes and other-than-temporary impairments of securities) and noninterest expenses (including the loss on the early extinguishment
of debt due to the balance sheet restructuring in June 2008).

For additional information about ASB, see the
sections under Bank in HEIs MD&A, HEIs Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk and Note 4 to HEIs Consolidated Financial Statements.

All of
the foregoing ratios and returns for 2009 were adversely affected by ASBs sale of its private-issue mortgage-related securities portfolio. All of the foregoing ratios and returns for 2008 were adversely affected by ASBs restructuring of
its balance sheet in June 2008.

ASBs tangible efficiency ratio  the cost of earning $1 of revenue 
increased from 66% in 2007 to 72% in 2009, primarily due to losses related to the sale of the private-issue mortgage-related securities portfolio and other-than-temporary impairment (OTTI) charges on ASBs securities portfolio in 2009. The
increase in tangible efficiency ratio for 2008 was due to charges to noninterest income and noninterest expenses as a result of the restructuring of its balance sheet.

Consolidated average balance sheet.

See Average balance sheet and
net interest margin in HEIs MD&A.

In 2009, average investment and mortgage-related securities decreased by
$796.7 million due to the restructuring of the balance sheet in 2008, portfolio repayments and the sale of the private-issue mortgage-related securities portfolio in the fourth quarter of 2009. Average loans receivable decreased by $235.2 million,
while average other investments increased by $114.0 million. ASBs decision to sell substantially all of the fixed-rate mortgages it originated throughout 2009, weak loan demand and challenges in finding investments with adequate risk-adjusted
returns resulted in declining loan balances and an increase in the banks liquidity position. The average residential mortgage portfolio decreased by $314.9 million, or 11.1% lower than 2008. The average home equity line of credit loan
portfolio grew by $65.6 million, or 27.3% over 2008. The average commercial markets loan portfolio grew by $38.8 million, or 7.3% over 2008. Average deposit balances decreased in 2009 by $140.0 million, as ASB experienced a $337.4 million
outflow of term certificates, partially offset by an increase of $197.4 million of core deposits. Average other borrowings for 2009 decreased by $754.9 million compared to 2008 due to the early

extinguishment of other borrowings in the balance sheet restructuring in 2008 and the paydown of maturing other borrowings in 2009 with excess liquidity.

In 2008, average investment and mortgage-related securities decreased by $927 million primarily due to the restructuring of ASBs
balance sheet which included the sale of mortgage-related securities and agency notes.

In 2008, average loans receivable
increased by $248.6 million, or 6.3%, over 2007 average loans receivable. The growth in the loan portfolio was due to growth in home equity lines of credit, continued growth in commercial market loans and residential loans purchased. The average
residential mortgage portfolio balance grew by $158.4 million, or 5.5%, over 2007. The average commercial loan portfolio balance increased by $66.6 million, or 14.3%, due to higher originations. The average home equity line of credit loan
portfolio balance grew by $42.0 million, or 21.9%, due to higher originations. The average commercial real estate loan portfolio balance was $13.4 million, or 4.2%, lower than 2007 primarily due to repayments of construction loans. Average
consumer loan balances in 2008 also decreased by $2.6 million, or 3.3%, over 2007. Average deposit balances decreased in 2008 by $183.5 million, as the downward trend in interest rates made it difficult to retain interest-bearing deposits.
Average other borrowings decreased in 2008 by $531.8 million compared to 2007 due to the early extinguishment of other borrowings in the balance sheet restructuring.

Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk in HEIs Annual Report.

Interest income and interest expense.

See Results of operationsBank in HEIs MD&A for a table of average balances, interest and dividend income,
interest expense and weighted-average yields earned and rates paid for certain categories of earning assets and costing liabilities for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007.

The following table shows for the periods indicated the effect on net interest income of (1) changes in interest rates (change in
weighted-average interest rate multiplied by prior year average balance) and (2) changes in volume (change in average balance multiplied by prior period weighted-average interest rate). Any remaining change is allocated to the above two
categories on a prorata basis.

Noninterest income.

In addition to net interest income, ASB has various sources of noninterest income, including fee income from credit and debit cards and fee income from deposit liabilities and other financial products and
services. Noninterest income totaled approximately $29.9 million in 2009, $46.1 million in 2008 and $68.4 million in 2007. In 2009, the decrease in noninterest income was due to losses related to the sale of the private-issue
mortgage-related securities ($32.1 million) and OTTI charges on eleven mortgage-related securities ($15.4 million). The decrease in noninterest income in 2008 compared to 2007 was primarily due to the loss on sale of securities from the balance
sheet restructuring ($19.3 million) and OTTI charges on two mortgage-related securities ($7.8 million).

Lending activities.

General.Loans of $3.7 billion represented 74.3% of total assets as of December 31, 2009, compared to
$4.2 billion, or 77.4%, and $4.1 billion, or 59.8%, as of December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The decrease in the loans receivable balance in 2009 was primarily due to the banks decision to sell substantially all of its
2009 residential loan production. The increase in loans receivable in 2008 was primarily due to growth in home equity lines of credit and commercial markets loans. ASBs loan portfolio consists primarily of residential 1-4 family mortgage
loans.

The decrease in fixed rate residential loans
was due to repayments in the portfolio, low production and the sale of fixed rate loans in the secondary market.

Origination,
purchase and sale of loans.Generally, residential and commercial real estate loans originated by ASB are secured by real estate located in Hawaii. For additional information, including information concerning the geographic distribution of
ASBs mortgage-related securities portfolio and the geographic concentration of credit risk, see Note 13 to HEIs Consolidated Financial Statements. The demand for loans is primarily dependent on the Hawaii real estate market,
business conditions, interest rates and loan refinancing activity.

Residential mortgage lending.ASBs general policy is
to require private mortgage insurance when the loan-to-value ratio of the property exceeds 80% of the lower of the appraised value or purchase price at origination. For nonowner-occupied residential properties, the loan-to-value ratio may not exceed
90% of the lower of the appraised value or purchase price at origination.

Construction and development lending.ASB provides both fixed- and adjustable-rate loans for
the construction of one-to-four unit residential and commercial properties. Construction loan projects are typically short term in nature. Construction and development financing generally involves a higher degree of credit risk than long-term
financing on improved, occupied real estate. Accordingly, construction and development loans are generally priced higher than loans secured by completed structures. ASBs underwriting, monitoring and disbursement practices with respect to
construction and development financing are designed to ensure sufficient funds are available to complete construction projects. See Loan portfolio risk elements and Multifamily residential and commercial real estate lending
below.

Multifamily residential and commercial real estate lending.ASB provides permanent financing and construction and
development financing secured by multifamily residential properties (including apartment buildings) and secured by commercial and industrial properties (including office buildings, shopping centers and warehouses) for its own portfolio as well as
for participation with other lenders. Commercial real estate lending typically involves long lead times to originate and fund. As a result, production results can vary significantly from period to period.

Consumer lending.ASB offers a variety of secured and unsecured consumer loans. Loans secured by deposits are limited to 90% of the available
account balance. ASB offers home equity lines of credit, secured and unsecured VISA cards, checking account overdraft protection and other general purpose consumer loans.

Commercial lending.ASB provides both secured and unsecured commercial loans to business entities. This lending activity is part of ASBs strategic transformation to a full-service
community bank and is designed to diversify ASBs asset structure, shorten maturities, improve rate sensitivity of the loan portfolio and attract commercial checking deposits.

Loan origination fee and servicing income.In addition to interest earned on loans, ASB receives income from servicing loans, for late payments and from other related services. Servicing
fees are received on loans originated and subsequently sold by ASB where ASB acts as collection agent on behalf of third-party purchasers.

ASB generally charges the borrower at loan settlement a loan origination fee of 1% of the amount borrowed. See Loans receivable in Note 1 to HEIs Consolidated Financial Statements.

Loan portfolio risk elements.When a borrower fails to make a required payment on a loan and does not cure the delinquency
promptly, the loan is classified as delinquent. If delinquencies are not cured promptly, ASB normally commences a collection action, including foreclosure proceedings in the case of secured loans. In a foreclosure action, the property securing the
delinquent debt is sold at a public auction in which ASB may participate as a bidder to protect its interest. If ASB is the successful bidder, the property is classified as real estate owned until it is sold. As of December 31, 2009 and
December 31, 2008, ASB had $4.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively, of real estate acquired in settlement of loans. ASB did not hold any real estate acquired in settlement of loans as of December 31, 2007.

In addition to delinquent loans, other significant lending risk elements include:
(1) loans which accrue interest and are 90 days or more past due as to principal or interest, (2) loans accounted for on a nonaccrual basis (nonaccrual loans), and (3) loans on which various concessions are made with respect to
interest rate, maturity, or other terms due to the inability of the borrower to service the obligation under the original terms of the agreement (renegotiated loans). ASB had no loans that were 90 days or more past due on which interest was being
accrued as of the dates presented in the table below. The following table sets forth certain information with respect to nonaccrual and renegotiated loans as of the dates indicated:

ASB realized $2.0 million, $1.0 million and $0.2 million of interest income on nonaccrual loans in
2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. If these loans would have earned interest in accordance with their original contractual terms ASB would have realized $2.9 million, $0.7 million and $0.1 million in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

In 2006, nonaccrual loans of $2.4 million approximated 2005 nonaccrual loans as a reduction in nonaccrual residential
loans due to lower delinquencies was offset by higher amount of commercial loans on nonaccrual status. In 2007, nonaccrual loans increased by $0.8 million when compared to 2006 due to higher delinquencies in the residential and consumer loan
portfolios. In 2008, nonaccrual loans increased by $16.3 million due to higher residential loan delinquencies and the reclassification of certain commercial loans due to their weakening credit quality. In 2009, nonaccrual loans increased by $45.8
million primarily due to an increase in residential 1-4 family and residential land loans 90+ days delinquent.

In 2009, ASBs allowance for loan losses increased by $5.9 million from 2008 as a result of
higher residential 1-4 family, residential land and home equity lines of credit delinquencies and increases in the historical loss ratios for these loan types. ASBs loan quality weakened in 2009, although not to the same level of decline in
loan quality seen in many mainland U.S. markets. The slowdown in the economy, both nationally and locally, had caused increased levels of financial stress on the part of ASBs customers, resulting in higher levels of loan delinquencies and
losses. ASBs 2009 provision for loan losses was $32 million, which included a provision for loan loss on a commercial loan that was subsequently sold. While the prospects for a mild recovery in Hawaii to begin in 2010 appear to be
improving as the global economic recovery begins to take hold, many challenges remain. Consumers and businesses are expected to struggle in 2010 as significant improvement in measures such as job growth, unemployment and real personal income are not
expected until 2011. Current levels of loan delinquencies and losses may result from the continued financial stress on ASBs customers.

In 2008, ASBs allowance for loan losses increased by $5.6 million from 2007 as a result of higher residential loan delinquencies, the reclassification of certain commercial loans due to their
weakening credit quality and an increase in the loan portfolio. ASB had good credit quality in 2008 despite the weakening economy and slowing real estate market. Although new home purchase and home resale transaction volumes in Hawaii had fallen
off, the Hawaii real estate market had not experienced as steep a decline in values as seen in many U.S. mainland markets. However, the slowdown in the economy, both nationally and locally, caused increased levels of financial stress on ASBs
customers, resulting in higher levels of loan delinquencies and losses. As a result, ASBs 2008 provision for loan losses was $10.3 million, following several years of historically low loan losses and loan loss allowances.

In 2007, ASBs allowance for loan losses decreased by $1.0 million when compared to 2006, primarily due to the charge-off of loans to
one commercial borrower. ASBs asset quality remained high due to the strength of the Hawaii economy and stability of the Hawaii real estate market, resulting in lower historical loss ratios and release of reserves for residential real estate
and consumer loans. The decrease in allowance for loan losses for commercial real estate loans was due to the release of reserves on construction loans that had been repaid. The increase in allowance for loan losses for commercial loans was due to
loan growth and the reclassification of certain commercial loans. A provision for loan losses of $5.7 million was recorded in 2007, primarily due to specific reserves for the one commercial borrower and the reclassified commercial loans that
continued to be current on loan payments but had identified weaknesses.

In 2006, ASBs allowance for loan losses
increased by $0.6 million, compared to a decrease of $3.3 million in 2005. Continued strength in real estate and business conditions in 2006 resulted in low net charge-offs and lower than historical loss ratios, which enabled ASB to
largely offset the provision for loan losses as a result of loan

growth with the release of reserves on existing loans. ASB recorded a provision for loan losses of $1.4 million in 2006 for one commercial borrower.

Investment activities.

Currently, ASBs investment portfolio consists of mortgage-related securities, stock of the FHLB of Seattle, federal agency obligations and municipal bonds. ASB owns mortgage-related securities issued by the Federal National Mortgage
Association (FNMA), Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation (FHLMC) and Government National Mortgage Association (GNMA) and federal agency obligations issued by the FNMA and FHLMC. See Balance sheet restructure in Note 4 to HEIs
Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of mortgage-related security sales. See Net interest margin and other factors in HEIs MD&A for a discussion of the sale in the fourth quarter of 2009 of all of ASBs
remaining private-issue mortgage-related securities. The weighted-average yield on investments during 2009, 2008 and 2007 was 3.67%, 4.24% and 4.35%, respectively. ASB did not maintain a portfolio of securities held for trading during 2009, 2008 and
2007.

As of December 31 in each of 2009, 2008 and 2007, ASBs investment in stock of FHLB of Seattle amounted to
$97.8 million. The amount that ASB is required to invest in FHLB stock is determined by regulatory requirements and ASBs investment is in excess of that requirement. See FHLB of Seattle stock in HEIs MD&A for a
discussion of dividends on ASBs investment in FHLB of Seattle Stock and recent events that have adversely affected those dividends. Also, see RegulationFederal Home Loan Bank System below.

With the sale of the private-issue mortgage-related securities in 2009, ASB does not have any exposure to securities backed by subprime
mortgages. See Investment and mortgage-related securities in Note 4 to HEIs Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of other-than-temporarily impaired securities.

The following table summarizes ASBs investment portfolio (excluding stock of the FHLB of Seattle, which has no contractual maturity),
as of December 31, 2009, based upon contractually scheduled principal payments and expected prepayments allocated to the indicated maturity categories:

Note: ASB does not currently invest in tax-exempt obligations.

Deposits and other sources of funds.

General.Deposits traditionally have been the principal source of ASBs funds for use in lending, meeting liquidity requirements and making investments. ASB also derives funds from the receipt of interest and principal on
outstanding loans receivable and mortgage-related securities, borrowings from the FHLB of Seattle, securities sold under agreements to repurchase and other sources. ASB borrows on a short-term basis to compensate for seasonal or other reductions in
deposit flows. ASB also may borrow on a longer-term basis to support expanded lending or investment activities. Advances from the FHLB and securities sold under agreements to repurchase continue to be a source of funds, but they are a higher cost of
funds than deposits.

Deposits.ASBs deposits are obtained primarily from residents of Hawaii. Net deposit inflow or
outflow, measured as the year-over-year difference in year-end deposits, was an outflow of $121 million in 2009 compared to outflows of $167 million in 2008 and $228 million in 2007.

This compares with $407 million in such
certificate accounts in 2008.

Deposit-insurance premiums and regulatory developments. On February 8, 2006, the Federal Deposit
Insurance Reform Act of 2005 (the Reform Act) became law. One of the provisions of the Reform Act was to merge the Savings Association Insurance Fund (SAIF) and the Bank Insurance Fund (BIF) into a new fund, the Deposit Insurance Fund. This change
was made effective March 31, 2006. The Financing Corporation (FICO) will continue to impose an assessment on deposits.

For a discussion of recent changes to the deposit insurance system, premiums and FICO assessments, see RegulationDeposit insurance coverage below.

Other borrowings.ASB may obtain advances from the FHLB of Seattle provided that certain standards related to creditworthiness have been met. Advances are secured by a blanket pledge of
certain notes held by ASB and the mortgages securing them. To the extent that advances exceed the amount of mortgage loan collateral pledged to the FHLB of Seattle, the excess must be covered by qualified marketable securities held under the control
of and at the FHLB of Seattle or at an approved third-party custodian. FHLB advances generally are available to meet seasonal and other withdrawals of deposit accounts, to expand lending and to assist in the effort to improve asset and liability
management. FHLB advances are made pursuant to several different credit programs offered from time to time by the FHLB of Seattle. See Other borrowingsAdvances from Federal Home Loan Bank in Note 4 to HEIs Consolidated
Financial Statements.

As of December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, advances from the FHLB amounted to $0.1 billion,
$0.4 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively. The weighted-average rates on the advances from the FHLB outstanding as of December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 were 3.90%, 2.52% and 4.90%, respectively. The maximum amount of advances
outstanding at any month-end during 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $0.4 billion, $1.0 billion and $1.0 billion, respectively. Advances from the FHLB averaged $0.2 billion during 2009, $0.7 billion during 2008 and $0.8 billion
during 2007 and the approximate weighted-average rate on the advances was 3.05%, 4.28% and 4.92%, respectively.

The decrease in total other borrowings in 2008 was primarily due to the early extinguishment of other
borrowings in the balance sheet restructuring. See Balance sheet restructure in Note 4 to HEIs Consolidated Financial Statements.

Competition.

See BankExecutive overview and strategy and BankCertain factors
that may affect future results and financial conditionCompetition in HEIs MD&A.

Competition for
deposits comes primarily from other savings institutions, commercial banks, credit unions, money market and mutual funds and other investment alternatives. As of December 31, 2009, there were 9 financial institutions insured by the Federal
Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC), of which 2 were thrifts and 7 were commercial banks, and numerous credit unions in Hawaii. Additional competition for deposits comes from various types of corporate and government borrowers, including insurance
companies. Competition for origination of first mortgage loans comes primarily from mortgage banking and brokerage firms, commercial banks, other savings institutions, insurance companies and real estate investment trusts.

Regulation.

ASB, a
federally chartered savings bank, and its holding companies are subject to the regulatory supervision of the OTS and, in certain respects, the FDIC. See HEIRegulation above and BankCertain factors that may affect future
results and financial conditionRegulation in HEIs MD&A. In addition, ASB must comply with Federal Reserve Board (FRB) reserve requirements.

Deposit insurance coverage.The Federal Deposit Insurance Act, as amended, and regulations promulgated by the FDIC, govern insurance coverage of deposit accounts. Congress has temporarily increased
FDIC deposit insurance from $100,000 to $250,000 per depositor through December 31, 2013. Generally, the amount of all deposits held by a depositor in the same capacity (even if held in separate accounts) is aggregated for purposes of applying
the insurance limit.

Among the major reforms in the last few years to the deposit insurance system were the merger of the BIF
and the SAIF; indexing the deposit insurance to inflation beginning in 2010 and every five years thereafter; and authorizing the FDIC to assess risk-based premiums. Under the new FDIC rules assessing risk-based premiums, which became effective on
January 1, 2007, ASB is classified in Risk Category I, the lowest risk group. Based upon its component ratings under the Uniform Financial Institutions Ratings System (i.e., the CAMELS rating system) and five financial ratios specified in
the new FDIC rules, ASBs assessment rate for 2009 was 13.9 basis points, which resulted in an assessment amount of approximately $5.8 million, compared to an assessment rate of 5.3 basis points and an assessment amount of $1.5 million in
2008. See Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) restoration plan in Note 4 to HEIs Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of FDIC deposit insurance assessment rates and the prepayment of estimated assessments for
the fourth quarter of 2009 and for all of 2010, 2011 and 2012. FICO will continue to impose an assessment on deposits to service the interest on FICO bond obligations. ASBs annual FICO assessment is 1.06 cents per $100 of deposits as of
December 30, 2009.

Federal thrift charter.See BankCertain factors that may affect future results and financial
conditionRegulationFederal Thrift Charter in HEIs MD&A, including the discussion of proposed legislation that would abolish the charter.

Recent legislation and issuances. See BankLegislation and regulation in HEIs MD&A.

On January 14, 2009, the Federal Financial Institutions Examination Council (of which the OTS is a part) issued Risk Management of Remote Deposit Captureguidance.This issuance
provided guidelines to identify risks in financial



26

##### Table of Contents

institutions remote deposit capture (RDC) systems and to evaluate the adequacy of controls and applicable risk management practices. RDC is a delivery system that enables branches to
facilitate deposit processing. The guidance addresses the necessary elements of an RDC risk management process: risk identification, assessment, and mitigation, as well as measuring and monitoring exposure to residual risk.

On May 22, 2009, President Obama signed the Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act of 2009 (Credit CARD Act) into
law, with the majority of the provisions of the Act becoming effective on February 22, 2010. The Credit CARD Act expands the prohibition against five practices that the OTS found to be unfair. It also codifies several amendments to Truth in
Lending rules issued by the Federal Reserve Board and restricts additional practices. On June 25, 2009, OTS issued a memo alerting stakeholders of the effective dates of the new legislation. The Credit CARD Act required that consumers receive a
reasonable amount of time to make their credit card payments, prohibited payment allocation methods that unfairly maximized interest charges and prohibited issuers from raising the interest rate on an existing credit card balance when a consumer is
paying credit card bills on time.

On October 30, 2009, OTS issued guidance for modifications or restructuring of
existing loans with creditworthy commercial real estate (CRE) borrowers that experienced financial difficulties. It addressed specific loan workout arrangements, classification of loans, and regulatory reporting and accounting considerations. The
guidance was intended to promote supervisory consistency, enhance the transparency of CRE workout transactions, and ensure that supervisory policies and actions do not inadvertently curtail the availability of credit to sound borrowers.

Capital requirements. The OTS has set three capital standards for thrifts, each of which must be no less stringent than those applicable to
national banks. As of December 31, 2009, ASB was in compliance with all of the minimum standards with a core capital ratio of 9.0% (compared to a 4.0% requirement), a tangible capital ratio of 9.0% (compared to a 1.5% requirement) and
total risk-based capital ratio of 14.1% (based on risk-based capital of $477.8 million, $205.9 million in excess of the 8.0% requirement).

The OTS requires that thrifts with a composite rating of 1 under the Uniform Financial Institution Rating System (i.e., CAMELS rating system) must maintain core capital in an amount equal to
at least 3% of adjusted total assets. All other institutions must maintain a minimum core capital of 4% of adjusted total assets, and higher capital ratios may be required if warranted by particular circumstances. As of December 31, 2009,
ASB met the applicable minimum core capital requirement.

Other capital standards based on an international framework have
been adopted for institutions that are much larger in size than ASB or that have substantial foreign exposures. ASB is not required, and has elected not to be, governed by these other standards.

Affiliate transactions. Significant restrictions apply to certain transactions between ASB and its affiliates, including HEI and its direct and
indirect subsidiaries. For example, ASB is prohibited from making any loan or other extension of credit to an entity affiliated with ASB unless the affiliate is engaged exclusively in activities which the FRB has determined to be permissible for
bank holding companies. There are also various other restrictions which apply to certain transactions between ASB and certain executive officers, directors and insiders of ASB. ASB is also barred from making a purchase of or any investment in
securities issued by an affiliate, other than with respect to shares of a subsidiary of ASB.

Financial Derivatives and Interest Rate Risk.ASB is subject to OTS rules relating to derivatives activities, such as interest rate swaps. Currently ASB does not use interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk, but may do so in the future. Generally speaking, the OTS rules permit
thrifts to engage in transactions involving financial derivatives to the extent these transactions are otherwise authorized under applicable law and are safe and sound. The rules require ASB to have certain internal procedures for handling financial
derivative transactions, including involvement of the ASB Board of Directors.

OTS Thrift Bulletin 13a (TB 13a) provides
guidance on the management of interest rate risks, investment securities and derivatives activities. TB 13a also describes the guidelines OTS examiners use in assigning the Sensitivity to Market Risk component rating under the Uniform
Financial Institutions Rating System (i.e., the CAMELS rating system). TB 13a updated the OTS minimum standards for thrift institutions interest rate risk management practices and also contains guidance on thrifts investment and
derivatives activities by describing the types of analysis institutions should perform prior to purchasing securities or financial derivatives.

Liquidity.OTS regulations require ASB to maintain sufficient liquidity to ensure safe and sound
operations. ASBs principal sources of liquidity are customer deposits, borrowings, the maturity and repayment of portfolio loans and securities and the sale of loans into secondary market channels. ASBs principal sources of borrowings
are advances from the FHLB of Seattle and securities sold under agreements to repurchase from broker/dealers. ASB is approved by the FHLB of Seattle to borrow an amount of up to 35% of assets to the extent it provides qualifying collateral and holds
sufficient FHLB of Seattle stock. As of December 31, 2009, ASBs unused FHLB of Seattle borrowing capacity was approximately $1.6 billion. ASB utilizes growth in deposits, advances from the FHLB of Seattle and securities sold under
agreements to repurchase to fund maturing and withdrawable deposits, repay maturing borrowings, fund existing and future loans and make investments. As of December 31, 2009, ASB had loan commitments, undisbursed loan funds and unused lines and
letters of credit of $1.2 billion. Management believes ASBs current sources of funds will enable it to meet these obligations while maintaining liquidity at satisfactory levels.

Supervision.Pursuant to the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Improvement Act of 1991 (the FDICIA), the federal banking agencies promulgated
regulations which apply to the operations of ASB and its holding companies. Such regulations address, for example, standards for safety and soundness, real estate lending, accounting and reporting, transactions with affiliates and loans to insiders.

Prompt corrective action. The FDICIA establishes a statutory framework that is triggered by the capital level of a savings association
and subjects it to progressively more stringent restrictions and supervision as capital levels decline. The OTS rules implement the system of prompt corrective action. In particular, the rules define the relevant capital measures for the categories
of well capitalized, adequately capitalized, undercapitalized, significantly undercapitalized and critically undercapitalized.

A savings association that is undercapitalized or significantly undercapitalized is subject to additional mandatory
supervisory actions and a number of discretionary actions if the OTS determines that any of the actions is necessary to resolve the problems of the association at the least possible long-term cost to the Deposit Insurance Fund. A savings association
that is critically undercapitalized must be placed in conservatorship or receivership within 90 days, unless the OTS and the FDIC concur that other action would be more appropriate. As of December 31, 2009, ASB was
well-capitalized.

Interest rates.FDIC regulations restrict the ability of financial institutions that are
undercapitalized to offer interest rates on deposits that are significantly higher than the rates offered by competing institutions. As of December 31, 2009, ASB was well capitalized and thus not subject to these interest rate
restrictions.

Qualified thrift lender test. In order to satisfy the QTL test, a thrift must maintain 65% of its assets in
qualified thrift investments on a monthly average basis in 9 out of the previous 12 months. Failure to satisfy the QTL test would subject ASB to various penalties, including limitations on its activities, and would also bring into
operation restrictions on the activities that may be engaged in by HEI, ASHI and their other subsidiaries, which could effectively result in the required divestiture of ASB. At all times during 2009, ASB was in compliance with the QTL test. As of
December 31, 2009, 81% of ASBs portfolio assets were qualified thrift investments. See HEI ConsolidatedRegulation.

Federal Home Loan Bank System.ASB is a member of the FHLB System, which consists of 12 regional FHLBs, and ASBs regional bank is the FHLB of Seattle. The FHLB System provides a central
credit facility for member institutions. Historically, the FHLBs have served as the central liquidity facilities for savings associations and sources of long-term funds for financing housing. The FHLB of Seattle may only make long-term advances to
ASB for the purpose of providing funds for financing residential housing. At such time as an advance is made to ASB or renewed, it must be secured by collateral from one of the following categories: (1) fully disbursed, whole first mortgages on
improved residential property, or securities representing a whole interest in such mortgages; (2) securities issued, insured or guaranteed by the U.S. Government or any agency thereof; (3) FHLB deposits; and (4) other real
estate-related collateral that has a readily ascertainable value and with respect to which a security interest can be perfected. The aggregate amount of outstanding advances secured by such other real estate-related collateral may not exceed 30% of
ASBs capital.

As mandated by the Gramm Act, the Federal Housing Finance Board (Board) regulations require each FHLB to
maintain a minimum total capital leverage ratio of 5% of total assets and include risk-based capital standards



28

##### Table of Contents

requiring each FHLB to maintain permanent capital in an amount sufficient to meet credit risk and market risk. In June 2001, the FHLB of Seattle formulated a capital plan to meet these new
minimum capital standards, which plan was approved by the Board. The capital plan requires ASB to own capital stock in the FHLB of Seattle in an amount equal to the total of 4% of the FHLB of Seattles advances to ASB plus the greater of
(i) 5% of the outstanding balance of loans sold to the FHLB of Seattle by ASB or (ii) 0.5% of ASBs mortgage loans and pass through securities. As of December 31, 2009, ASB was required under the capital plan to own capital stock
in the FHLB of Seattle in the amount of $17 million and owned capital stock in the amount of $98 million, or $81 million in excess of the requirement. Under the capital plan, stock in the FHLB of Seattle can be required to be redeemed
at the option of ASB, but the FHLB of Seattle may require up to a 5-year notice of redemption. This 5-year notice period has an adverse but immaterial effect on ASBs liquidity. See FHLB of Seattle stock in HEIs MD&A
section for recent developments regarding the FHLB of Seattle.

Community Reinvestment.The Community Reinvestment Act (CRA) requires
banks and thrifts help meet the credit needs of their communities, including low- and moderate-income areas, consistent with safe and sound lending practices. The OTS will consider ASBs CRA record in evaluating an application for a new deposit
facility, including the establishment of a branch, the relocation of a branch or office, or the acquisition of an interest in another bank or thrift. ASB currently holds an outstanding CRA rating.

Other laws. ASB is subject to federal and state consumer protection laws which affect lending activities, such as the Truth in Lending Act, the Truth
in Savings Act, the Equal Credit Opportunity Act, the Real Estate Settlement Procedures Act, the Home Mortgage Disclosure Act and several federal and state financial privacy acts intended to protect consumers personal information and prevent
identity theft, such as the Gramm Act and the Fair and Accurate Transactions Act. ASB is also subject to federal laws regulating certain of its lending practices, such as the Flood Disaster Protection Act, and laws requiring reports to regulators of
certain customer transactions, such as the Currency and Foreign Transactions Reporting Act and the International Money Laundering Abatement and Anti-Terrorist Financing Act. ASBs relationship with UVEST Financial Services is also governed by
regulations adopted by the Federal Reserve Board under the Gramm Act, which regulate networking relationships under which a financial institution refers customers to a broker-dealer for securities services and employees of the financial
institution are permitted to receive a nominal fee for the referrals. These laws may provide for substantial penalties in the event of noncompliance. ASB believes that its lending activities are currently in compliance with these laws and
regulations.

Proposed legislation. See the discussion of proposed legislation in BankLegislation and regulation in
HEIs MD&A. There is additional proposed legislation pending in Congress that relates to regulatory reform; ASBs management will continue to monitor its progress.

Environmental regulation. ASB may be subject to the provisions of Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act (CERCLA), Hawaii Environmental Response Law (ERL) and
regulations promulgated thereunder, which impose liability for environmental cleanup costs on certain categories of responsible parties. CERCLA and ERL exempt persons whose ownership in a facility is held primarily to protect a security interest,
provided that they do not participate in the management of the facility. Although there may be some risk of liability for ASB for environmental cleanup costs in the event ASB forecloses on, and becomes the owner of, property with environmental
problems, the Company believes the risk is not as great for ASB as it may be for other depository institutions that have a larger portfolio of commercial loans.

Properties.

ASB owns or leases several office buildings in downtown
Honolulu and owns land and an operations center in the Mililani Technology Park on the island of Oahu.

|ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS
|-------- | ------------

For
additional information for certain risk factors enumerated below and other risks of the Company and its operations, see Forward-Looking Statements above and HEIs MD&A, HEIs Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures
about Market Risk, HEIs Consolidated Financial Statements, HECOs MD&A and HECOs Consolidated Financial Statements, which are incorporated herein by reference to HEI Exhibit 13 and HECO Exhibit 99 to the
Companys Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 19, 2010.

Holding Company and Company-Wide Risks.

HEI is a holding company that derives its income from its operating subsidiaries and depends on the ability of those subsidiaries to pay dividends or make
other distributions to HEI and on its own ability to raise capital.

HEI is a legal entity separate and distinct from its
various subsidiaries. As a holding company with no significant operations of its own, HEIs cash flows and consequent ability to service its obligations and pay dividends on its common stock is dependent upon its receipt of dividends or other
distributions from its operating subsidiaries and its ability to issue common stock or other equity securities and to incur additional debt. The ability of HEIs subsidiaries to pay dividends or make other distributions to HEI, in turn, is
subject to the risks associated with their operations and to contractual and regulatory restrictions, including:



| |  |  | the provisions of an HEI agreement with the PUC, which could limit the ability of HEIs principal electric public utility subsidiary, HECO, to pay
dividends to HEI in the event that the consolidated common stock equity of the electric public utility subsidiaries falls below 35% of total capitalization of the electric utilities;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the provisions of an HEI agreement entered into with federal bank regulators in connection with its acquisition of its bank subsidiary, ASB, which
require HEI to contribute additional capital to ASB (up to a maximum amount of additional capital of $28.3 million as of December 31, 2009) upon request of the regulators in order to maintain ASBs regulatory capital at the level
required by regulation;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the minimum capital and capital distribution regulations of the OTS that are applicable to ASB;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the receipt of a letter from the OTS stating it has no objection to the payment of any dividend ASB proposes to declare and pay to HEI; and
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the provisions of preferred stock resolutions and debt instruments of HEI and its subsidiaries.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Company is subject to risks associated with the Hawaii economy, volatile U.S. capital markets and changes in the interest rate and credit market
environment that have and/or could result in higher retirement benefit plan funding requirements, declines in electric utility KWH sales, declines in ASBs interest rate margins and investment values, higher delinquencies and charge-offs in
ASBs loan portfolio and restrictions on the ability of HEI or its subsidiaries to borrow money or issue securities.

The two largest components of Hawaiis economy are tourism and the federal government (including the military). Because the core businesses of HEIs subsidiaries are providing local public electric utility services (through HECO
and its subsidiaries) and banking services (through ASB and its subsidiaries) in Hawaii, the Companys operating results are significantly influenced by Hawaiis economy, which in turn is influenced by economic conditions in the mainland
U.S. (particularly California) and Asia (particularly Japan) as a result of the impact of those conditions on tourism, by the impact of interest rates on the construction and real estate industries and by the impact of world conditions (e.g., U.S.
presence in Iraq and Afghanistan) on federal government spending in Hawaii.

The turmoil in the financial markets and declines
in the national and global economies have had a negative effect on the Hawaii economy. Declines in the Hawaii, U.S. and Asian economies, have led to declines in KWH sales in 2009 (2009 sales decline of 2.5% from 2008) an increase in uncollected
billings of HECO and its subsidiaries, higher

##### Table of Contents

delinquencies in ASBs loan portfolio and other adverse effects on HEIs businesses. The utilities 2010 KWH sales are currently expected to decrease by 0.9% from 2009. Given the
weak economy, the Companys and consolidated HECOs earnings may decline and ratings may be threatened. If S&P or Moodys were to downgrade HEIs or HECOs long-term debt ratings because of these adverse effects, or if
future events were to adversely affect the availability of capital to the Company, HEIs and HECOs ability to borrow and raise capital could be constrained and their future borrowing costs would likely increase with resulting reductions
in HEIs consolidated net income in future periods. Further, if HEIs or HECOs commercial paper ratings were to be downgraded, HEI and HECO might not be able to sell commercial paper and might be required to draw on more expensive
bank lines of credit or to defer capital or other expenditures.

Changes in the U.S. capital markets can also have significant
effects on the Company. For example, pension funding requirements are affected by the market performance of the assets in the master pension trust maintained for pension plans, and by the discount rate used to estimate the service and interest cost
components of net periodic pension cost and value obligations. The electric utilities pension tracking mechanisms help moderate pension expense; however, the significant decline in 2008 in the value of the Companys defined benefit
pension plan assets resulted in a substantial gap between the projected benefit obligations under the plans and the value of plan assets, resulting in increases in funding requirements.

Because the earnings of ASB depend primarily on net interest income, interest rate risk is a significant risk of ASBs operations. HEI
and its electric utility subsidiaries are also exposed to interest rate risk primarily due to their periodic borrowing requirements, the discount rate used to determine pension funding requirements and the possible effect of interest rates on the
electric utilities rates of return. Interest rates are sensitive to many factors, including general economic conditions and the policies of government and regulatory authorities. HEI cannot predict future changes in interest rates, nor be
certain that interest rate risk management strategies it or its subsidiaries have implemented will be successful in managing interest rate risk.

Interest rate risk also represents a market risk factor affecting the fair value of ASBs investment securities. Increases and decreases in prevailing interest rates generally translate into
decreases and increases in fair values of those instruments. In 2008 and 2009, the credit markets experienced significant disruptions, liquidity on many financial instruments declined and residential mortgage delinquencies and defaults increased.
These disruptions negatively impacted the fair value of ASBs investment portfolio and led ASB, in the fourth quarter of 2009, to sell all private-issue mortgage-related securities in its investment portfolio in order to further improve its
credit risk profile and reduce the potential volatility of future earnings.

HEI and HECO and their subsidiaries may incur higher
retirement benefits expenses and have and will likely continue to recognize substantial liabilities for retirement benefits.

Retirement benefits expenses and cash funding requirements could increase in future years depending on numerous factors, including the performance of the U.S. equity markets, trends in interest rates and health care costs, plan amendments,
new laws relating to pension funding and changes in accounting principles. For the electric utilities, however, retirement benefits expenses, as adjusted by the pension tracking mechanisms, have been an allowable expense for rate-making purposes.

The Company is subject to the risks associated with the geographic concentration of its businesses and current lack of interconnections
that could result in service interruptions at the electric utilities or higher default rates on loans held by ASB.

The
business of HECO and its electric utility subsidiaries is concentrated on the individual islands they serve in the State of Hawaii. Their operations are more vulnerable to service interruptions than are many U.S. mainland utilities because none
of the systems of HECO and its subsidiaries are interconnected with the systems on the other islands they serve. Because of this lack of interconnections, it is necessary to maintain higher generation reserve margins than are typical for U.S.
mainland utilities to help ensure reliable service. Service interruptions, including in particular extended interruptions that could result from a natural disaster or terrorist activity, could adversely impact the KWH sales of some or all of the
electric utility subsidiaries. For example, in December 2008, an island-wide outage (likely the result of a severe air-to-ground lightning storm) occurred on the island of Oahu that resulted in a loss of electric service to HECO customers ranging
from approximately 7 to 20 hours.

Substantially all of ASBs consumer loan customers are Hawaii residents. A significant
portion of the commercial loan customers are located in Hawaii. Substantially all of the real estate underlying ASBs residential and commercial real estate loans are located in Hawaii. These assets may be subject to a greater risk of default
than other

comparable assets held by financial institutions with other geographic concentrations in the event of adverse economic, political or business developments or natural disasters affecting Hawaii
and the ability of ASBs customers to make payments of principal and interest on their loans.

Increasing competition and
technological advances could cause HEIs businesses to lose customers or render their operations obsolete.

The
banking industry in Hawaii, and certain aspects of the electric utility industry, are competitive. The success of HEIs subsidiaries in meeting competition will continue to have a direct impact on HEIs consolidated financial performance.
For example:



| |  |  | ASB, one of the largest financial institutions in the state, is in direct competition for deposits and loans not only with two larger institutions that
have substantial capital, technology and marketing resources, but also with smaller Hawaii institutions and other U.S. institutions, including credit unions, mutual funds, mortgage brokers, finance companies and investment banking firms. Larger
financial institutions may have greater access to capital at lower costs, which could impair ASBs ability to compete effectively. Significant advances in technology could render the operations of ASB less competitive or obsolete.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | HECO and its subsidiaries face competition from IPPs, including alternate energy providers, and customer self-generation, with or without cogeneration.
The PUC issued a decision in its investigative proceeding on competitive bidding as a mechanism for acquiring or building new electric generating capacity. With the exception of certain identified projects, the utilities are now required to use
competitive bidding to acquire a future generation resource unless the PUC finds competitive bidding to be unsuitable. The PUC also issued a decision in its DG investigative proceeding, in which it set policies for DG interconnection agreements and
standby rates, and established conditions under which electric utilities can provide DG services on customer-owned sites as a regulated service. The electric utilities cannot predict the ultimate effect of the PUCs decisions in the competitive
bidding and DG proceedings, the impact they will have on competition from IPPs and customer self-generation, or the rate at which technological developments facilitating non-utility generation of electricity will occur.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | New technological developments, such as the commercial development of fuel cells, may render the operations of HEIs electric utility subsidiaries
less competitive or outdated.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HEIs businesses could suffer losses that are uninsured due to a lack of insurance
coverage or limitations on the insurance coverage the Company does have.

In the ordinary course of business, HEI and its
subsidiaries purchase insurance coverages (e.g., property and liability coverages) to protect against loss of, or damage to, their properties and against claims made by third parties and employees for property damage or personal injuries. However,
the protection provided by such insurance is limited in significant respects and, in some instances, there is no coverage. Certain of the insurance has substantial deductibles or has limits on the maximum amounts that may be recovered. For example,
the electric utilities overhead and underground transmission and distribution systems (with the exception of substation buildings and contents) have a replacement value roughly estimated at $5 billion and are not insured against loss or
damage because the amount of transmission and distribution system insurance available is limited and the premiums are cost prohibitive. Similarly, the electric utilities have no business interruption insurance as the premiums for such insurance
would be cost prohibitive, particularly since the utilities are not interconnected to other systems. If a hurricane or other uninsured catastrophic natural disaster were to occur, and if the PUC were not to allow the affected electric utilities to
recover from ratepayers restoration costs and revenues lost from business interruption, the lost revenues and repair expenses could result in a significant decrease in HEIs consolidated net income or in significant net losses for the affected
periods.

ASB generally does not obtain credit enhancements, such as mortgagor bankruptcy insurance, but does require standard
hazard and hurricane insurance and may require flood insurance for certain properties. ASB is subject to the risks of borrower defaults and bankruptcies, special hazard losses not covered by the required insurance and the insurance companys
inability to pay claims on existing policies.

Increased federal and state environmental regulation will require an increasing commitment
of resources and funds and could result in construction delays or penalties and fines for non-compliance.

HEI and its
subsidiaries are subject to federal and state environmental laws and regulations relating to air quality, water quality, waste management, natural resources and health and safety, which regulate the operation of existing facilities, the



32

##### Table of Contents

construction and operation of new facilities and the proper cleanup and disposal of hazardous waste and toxic substances. Compliance with these legal requirements requires HEIs utility
subsidiaries to commit significant resources and funds toward environmental monitoring, installation of pollution control equipment and payment of emission fees. These laws and regulations, among other things, require that certain environmental
permits be obtained in order to construct or operate certain facilities, and obtaining such permits can entail significant expense and cause substantial construction delays. Also, these laws and regulations may be amended from time to time,
including amendments that increase the burden and expense of compliance. For example, emission and/or discharge limits may be tightened, more extensive permitting requirements may be imposed and additional substances may become regulated. In
addition, significant regulatory uncertainty exists regarding the impact of federal or state greenhouse gas emission limits and reductions.

If HEI or its subsidiaries fail to comply with environmental laws and regulations, even if caused by factors beyond their control, that failure may result in civil or criminal penalties and fines. At the
present time, HECO is a named party in an ongoing environmental matter that includes an investigation to determine the nature and extent of actual or potential release of hazardous substances, oil, pollutants or contaminants at or near Honolulu
Harbor and their remediation where applicable. Management cannot predict the ultimate cost or outcome of that investigation and the accompanying remedial efforts.

Adverse tax rulings or developments could result in significant increases in tax payments and/or expense.

Governmental taxing authorities could challenge a tax return position taken by HEI or its subsidiaries and, if the taxing authorities prevail, HEIs consolidated tax payments and/or expense,
including applicable penalties and interest, could increase significantly. Further, the ability or inability of HEI and its subsidiaries to generate capital gains and utilize capital loss carryforwards on future tax returns could impact future
earnings.

The Company could be subject to the risk of uninsured losses in excess of its accruals for litigation matters.

HEI and its subsidiaries are involved in routine litigation in the ordinary course of their businesses, most of which is covered by
insurance (subject to policy limits and deductibles). However, other litigation may arise that is not routine or involves claims that may not be covered by insurance. Because of the uncertainties associated with litigation, there is a risk that
litigation against HEI or its subsidiaries, even if vigorously defended, could result in costs of defense and judgment or settlement amounts not covered by insurance and in excess of reserves established in HEIs consolidated financial
statements.

Changes in accounting principles and estimates could affect the reported amounts of the Companys assets and liabilities
or revenues and expenses.

HEIs consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting
principles generally accepted in the U.S. Changes in these principles, or changes in the Companys application of existing accounting principles, could materially affect HEIs or the electric utilities consolidated financial position
and/or results of operations. Further, in preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and
liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results could differ significantly from those estimates. Material estimates that are particularly susceptible to significant change include the amounts reported for investment and
mortgage-related securities; property, plant and equipment; pension and other postretirement benefit obligations; contingencies and litigation; income taxes; regulatory assets and liabilities; electric utility revenues; variable interest entities;
and allowance for loan losses.

HECO and its subsidiaries financial statements reflect assets and costs based on
cost-based rate-making regulations. Continued accounting in this manner requires that certain criteria relating to the recoverability of such costs through rates be met. If events or circumstances should change so that the criteria are no longer
satisfied, the electric utilities regulatory assets (amounting to $427 million as of December 31, 2009) may need to be charged to expense, which could result in significant reductions in the electric utilities net income, and
the electric utilities regulatory liabilities (amounting to $288 million as of December 31, 2009) may need to be refunded to ratepayers.

Changes in accounting principles can also impact HEIs consolidated financial statements. For example, if management determines that a PPA requires the consolidation of the IPP in HECOs
consolidated financial statements, the consolidation could have a material effect on HECOs consolidated financial statements, including the recognition of a significant amount of assets and liabilities and, if such a consolidated IPP were
operating at a loss and had insufficient equity, the potential recognition of such losses. Also, if management determines that a PPA requires the classification of the agreement as a capital lease, a material effect on HEIs consolidated
balance sheet may result, including the recognition of significant capital assets and lease obligations.

Electric Utility Risks.

Actions of the PUC are outside the control of the electric utility subsidiaries and could result in inadequate or untimely rate relief, in rate reductions or refunds or in unanticipated delays,
expenses or writedowns in connection with the construction of new projects.

The rates the electric utilities are allowed
to charge for their services and the timeliness of permitted rate increases are among the most important items influencing the electric utilities financial condition, results of operations and liquidity. The PUC has broad discretion over the
rates that the electric utilities charge their customers. The electric utilities currently have rate cases pending before the PUC. Further, the trend of increased operation and maintenance expenses, which management expects will continue, increased
plant-in-service and other factors are likely to result in the electric utilities continuing to seek rate relief frequently. Any adverse decision by the PUC concerning the level or method of determining electric utility rates, the items and amounts
that may be included in rate base, the returns on equity or rate base found to be reasonable, the potential consequences of exceeding or not meeting such returns, or any prolonged delay in rendering a decision in a rate or other proceeding, could
have a material adverse effect on HECOs consolidated financial condition, results of operations and liquidity.

The
electric utilities could be required to refund to their customers, with interest, revenues that have been or may be received under interim rate orders in their rate case proceedings (HECOs 2007 and 2009 test year rate cases, HELCOs 2006
and 2010 test year rate cases and MECOs 2007 and 2010 test year rate cases), IRP cost recovery dockets and other proceedings, if and to the extent they exceed the amounts allowed in final orders. As of December 31, 2009, the electric
utilities had recognized an aggregate of $281 million of such revenues with respect to interim orders.

Many public
utility projects require PUC approval and various permits (e.g., environmental and land use permits) from other governmental agencies. Difficulties in obtaining, or the inability to obtain, the necessary approvals or permits, or any adverse decision
or policy made or adopted, or any prolonged delay in rendering a decision, by an agency with respect to such approvals and permits, can result in significantly increased project costs or even cancellation of projects. For example, two major capital
improvement projects  HECOs East Oahu Transmission Project and the expansion of HELCOs Keahole generating plant  encountered substantial opposition and consequent delay and increased cost. In the event a project does not
proceed, or if the PUC disallows cost recovery for all or part of the project, project costs may need to be written off in amounts that could result in significant reductions in HECOs consolidated net income.

Energy cost adjustment clauses. The rate schedules of each of HEIs electric utilities include ECACs under which electric rates charged to
customers are automatically adjusted for changes in the weighted-average price paid for fuel oil and certain components of purchased power, and the relative amounts of company-generated power and purchased power. In 2004 PUC decisions approving the
electric utilities fuel supply contracts, the PUC affirmed the electric utilities right to include in their respective ECACs the stated costs incurred pursuant to their respective new fuel supply contracts, to the extent that these costs
are not included in their respective base rates, and restated its intention to examine the need for continued use of ECACs in rate cases.

On June 2, 2006, the Governor of Hawaii signed into law Act 162, which provides that any automatic fuel rate adjustment clause requested by a public utility in an application filed with the PUC shall
be designed, as determined in the PUCs discretion, to (1) fairly share the risk of fuel cost changes between the public utility and its customers, (2) provide the public utility with sufficient incentive to reasonably manage or lower
its fuel costs and encourage greater use of renewable energy, (3) allow the public utility to mitigate the risk of sudden or frequent fuel cost changes that cannot otherwise reasonably be mitigated through other commercially available means,
such as through fuel hedging contracts, (4) preserve, to the extent reasonably possible, the public utilitys financial integrity, and (5) minimize, to the extent reasonably possible, the public utilitys need to apply for
frequent applications for general rate increases to account for the changes to its fuel costs.

The Energy Agreement confirms
the intent of the parties that the existing ECACs will continue, but subject to periodic review by the PUC. The Energy Agreement also provides that as part of the review, the PUC may examine whether there are renewable energy projects from which the
utilities should have, but did not, purchase energy or whether alternative fuel purchase strategies were appropriately used or not used. Management cannot predict the

##### Table of Contents

ultimate effect of the analysis required under Hawaii Act 162 on the continuation of the utilities existing ECACs. Any change in the ECAC could have a material adverse affect on the
electric utilities.

Electric utility operations are significantly influenced by weather conditions.

The electric utilities results of operations can be affected by changes in the weather. Weather conditions, particularly temperature
and humidity, directly influence the demand for electricity. In addition, severe weather and natural disasters, such as hurricanes, earthquakes, tsunamis and lightning storms, which may become more severe or frequent as a result of global warming,
can cause outages and property damage and require the utilities to incur significant additional expenses that may not be recoverable.

Electric utility operations depend heavily on third-party suppliers of fuel and purchased power.

The electric
utilities rely on fuel oil suppliers and shippers and independent power producers to deliver fuel oil and power, respectively, in accordance with contractual agreements. Approximately 77% of the net energy generated or purchased by the electric
utilities in 2009 was generated from the burning of fossil fuel oil, and purchases of power by the electric utilities provided about 40% of their total net energy generated and purchased for the same period. Failure or delay by oil suppliers and
shippers to provide fuel pursuant to existing contracts, or failure by a major IPP to deliver the firm capacity anticipated in its PPA, could disrupt the ability of the electric utilities to deliver electricity and require the electric utilities to
incur additional expenses to meet the needs of their customers that may not be recoverable. In addition, as these contractual agreements end, the electric utilities may not be able to purchase fuel and power on terms equivalent to the current
contractual agreements. Further, as the use of biofuels in generating units increases, the same risks will exist with suppliers of biofuels.

Electric utility generating facilities are subject to operational risks that could result in unscheduled plant outages, unanticipated and/or increased operation and maintenance expenses and increased power purchase costs.

Operation of electric generating facilities involves certain risks which can adversely affect energy output and efficiency levels.
Included among these risks are facility shutdowns or power interruptions due to insufficient generation or a breakdown or failure of equipment or processes or interruptions in fuel supply, inability to negotiate satisfactory collective bargaining
agreements when existing agreements expire or other labor disputes, inability to comply with regulatory or permit requirements, disruptions in delivery of electricity, operator error and catastrophic events such as earthquakes, tsunamis, hurricanes,
fires, explosions, floods or other similar occurrences affecting the electric utilities generating facilities or transmission and distribution systems. Global warming may result in rising sea levels, which could pose a threat to facilities of
the utilities, particularly those located in coastal or other low-lying areas. The utilities have taken a number of steps to mitigate the risk of outages, including securing additional purchased power, adding distributed generation at some
substations and encouraging energy conservation. The costs of supplying energy to meet high demand and maintenance costs required to sustain high availability of aging generation units have been increasing and the trend of cost increases is not
likely to ease, putting pressure on earnings to the extent timely rate relief is not achieved.

The electric utilities may be adversely
affected by new legislation.

Congress and the Hawaii Legislature periodically consider legislation that could have
positive or negative effects on the electric utilities and their customers. In addition to the ECAC provisions of Act 162 discussed above, the Hawaii Legislature adopted a number of measures that may affect the electric utilities, as described
below.

Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) law. In 2009, Hawaiis RPS law was amended to require electric utilities to meet an
RPS of 10%, 15%, 25% and 40% by December 31, 2010, 2015, 2020 and 2030, respectively. The amended RPS law is consistent with the commitment in the Energy Agreement that the utilities signed as part of the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative (HCEI).
The utilities are committed to achieving these goals; however, due to risks such as potential delays in IPPs being able to deliver contracted renewable energy (see risks under Forward-looking Statements on pages v and vi), it is possible
the electric utilities may not attain the required renewable percentages in the future, and management cannot predict the future consequences of failure to do so (including potential penalties to be assessed by the PUC). On December 19, 2008,
the PUC approved a penalty of $20 for every MWh that an electric utility is deficient under Hawaiis RPS law. The PUC noted, however, that this penalty may be reduced, in the PUCs discretion, due to events or circumstances that are
outside an electric utilitys reasonable control, to the extent the event or circumstance could not be reasonably foreseen and ameliorated, as described in



35

##### Table of Contents

the RPS law and in an RPS framework. In addition, the PUC ordered that the utilities will be prohibited from recovering any RPS penalty costs through rates.

Non-fossil fuel purchased power contracts. In 2006, a Hawaii law was enacted that required that the PUC establish a methodology that removes or
significantly reduces any linkage between the price paid for non-fossil-fuel generated electricity under future power purchase contracts and the price of fossil fuel, in order to allow utility customers to receive the potential cost savings from
non-fossil fuel generation (in connection with the PUCs determination of just and reasonable rates in purchased power contracts).

Net energy metering. Hawaii has a net energy metering law, which requires that electric utilities offer net energy metering to eligible customer generators (i.e., a customer generator may be a net user or supplier of energy and will
make payment to or receive credit from the electric utility accordingly). In the Energy Agreement, the parties agreed to seek to remove system-wide caps on net energy metering. Instead, they planned to seek to limit DG interconnections on a
per-circuit basis and to replace net energy metering with an appropriate feed-in tariff and new net metered installations that incorporate time-of-use metering equipment for future full scale implementation of time-of-use metering and sale of excess
energy.

Renewable energy. In 2007, a measure was passed by the Hawaii legislature stating that the PUC may consider the need for
increased renewable energy in rendering decisions on utility matters. Due to this measure, it is possible that, if energy from a renewable source were more expensive than energy from fossil fuel, the PUC may still approve the purchase of energy from
the renewable source.

In 2008, a law was enacted to promote and encourage the use of solar thermal energy. This measure will
require the installation of solar thermal water heaters in residences constructed after January 1, 2010, but allow for limited variances in cases where installation of solar water heating is deemed inappropriate. Also in 2008, a law was enacted
that is intended to facilitate the permitting of larger (200 MW or greater) renewable energy projects. The Energy Agreement includes several undertakings by the utilities to integrate solar energy into their electric grid.

In 2009, a Hawaii law (Act 185) was enacted authorizing preferential rates to agricultural energy producers selling electricity to
utilities. This will help support the long-term development of locally grown biofuel crops, cultivating potential local renewable fuel sources for the utilities. In addition, pursuant to Act 50 (also adopted in 2009), avoided cost is no longer a
consideration in determining a just and reasonable rate for non-fossil fuel generated electricity. This will allow the utilities to negotiate purchased power prices for renewable energy that have the potential to be more stable and less costly than
current pricing tied to avoided cost.

Global climate change and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions reduction. National and international
concern about climate change and the contribution of GHG emissions to global warming have led to action by the state of Hawaii and federal legislative and regulatory proposals to reduce GHG emissions.

In July 2007, Act 234, which requires a statewide reduction of GHG emissions by January 1, 2020 to levels at or below the statewide GHG
emission levels in 1990, became law in Hawaii.

In June 2009, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 2454, the American
Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009 (ACES). Among other things, ACES establishes a declining cap on GHG emissions requiring a 3% emissions reduction from 2005 levels by 2012 that increases to 17% by 2020, 42% by 2030, and 83% by 2050. The ACES
also establishes a trading and offset scheme for GHG allowances. The trading program combined with the declining cap is known as a cap and trade approach to emissions reduction. In September 2009, the U.S. Senate began consideration of
the Clean Energy Jobs and American Power Act (S. 1733). S. 1733 also includes cap and trade provisions to reduce GHG emissions. Since then, several other approaches to GHG emission reduction have been either introduced or discussed in the U.S.
Senate; however, no legislation has yet been enacted.

In response to the 2007 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Massachusetts
v. EPA, which ruled that the EPA has the authority to regulate GHG emissions from motor vehicles under the Clean Air Act (CAA), the EPA has accelerated rulemaking addressing GHG emissions from both mobile and stationary sources. On
September 22, 2009, the EPA issued the Final Mandatory Reporting of Greenhouse Gases Rule. The rule requires that sources above certain threshold levels monitor and report GHG emissions beginning in 2010.

On October 27, 2009, the Federal Register published the EPAs proposed Prevention of Significant Deterioration (PSD) and
Title V Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Tailoring Rule that would create a new emissions threshold for GHG emissions from new and existing facilities.

Biofuels. In 2007, a Hawaii law was enacted with the stated purpose of encouraging further production
and use of biofuels in Hawaii. It established that biofuel processing facilities in Hawaii are a permitted use in designated agricultural districts and established a program with the Hawaii Department of Agriculture to encourage the production in
Hawaii of energy feedstock (i.e., raw materials for biofuels).

In 2008, a law was enacted that encourages the development of
biofuels by authorizing the Hawaii Board of Land and Natural Resources to lease public lands to growers or producers of plant and animal material used for the production of biofuels.

The utilities have agreed in the Energy Agreement to test the use of biofuels in their generating units and, if economically feasible, to
convert them to the use of biofuels.

At this time, it is not possible to predict with certainty the impact of the foregoing
legislation or legislation that now is, or may in the future be, proposed.

The electric utilities may be subject to increased operational
challenges and their results of operations, financial condition and liquidity may be adversely impacted in meeting the commitments and objectives of the HCEI Energy Agreement.

On October 20, 2008, the Governor of the State of Hawaii, the State of Hawaii Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism,
the Division of Consumer Advocacy of the State of Hawaii Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs and the electric utilities (collectively, the parties), signed an Energy Agreement setting forth the goals and objectives of an HCEI and the related
commitments of the parties. The Energy Agreement requires the parties to pursue a wide range of actions with the purpose of decreasing the State of Hawaiis dependence on imported fossil fuels through substantial increases in the use of
renewable energy and implementation of new programs intended to secure greater energy efficiency and conservation. For a detailed discussion of certain of the electric utilities commitments contained in the Energy Agreement, see Hawaii
Clean Energy Initiative in Note 3 of HEIs Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

The
far-reaching nature of the Energy Agreement, including the extent of renewable energy commitments and the implementation of a new regulatory model which would decouple revenues from sales, present new increased risks to the Company. Among such risks
are: (1) the dependence on third party suppliers of renewable purchased energy, which if the utilities are unsuccessful in negotiating purchased power agreements with such IPPs or if a major IPP fails to deliver the anticipated capacity in its
purchased power agreement, could impact the utilities achievement of its commitments under the Energy Agreement and/or the utilities ability to deliver reliable service; (2) delays in acquiring or unavailability of non-fossil fuel
supplies for renewable generation; (3) the impact of intermittent power to the electrical grid and reliability of service if appropriate supporting infrastructure is not installed or does not operate effectively; (4) the likelihood that
the utilities may need to make substantial investments in related infrastructure, which could result in increased borrowings and, therefore, materially impact the financial condition and liquidity of the utilities; and (5) the commitment to
support a variety of initiatives, which, if approved by the PUC, may have a material impact on the results of operations and financial condition of the utilities depending on their design and implementation. Programs include, but are not limited to,
decoupling revenues from sales; implementing feed-in tariffs to encourage development of renewable energy; removing the system-wide caps on net energy metering (but limiting distributed generation interconnections on a per-circuit basis to no more
than 15% of peak circuit demand); and developing an Energy Efficiency Portfolio Standard. Management cannot predict the ultimate impact or outcome of the implementation of these or other HCEI programs on the results of operations, financial
condition and liquidity of the electric utilities.

Bank Risks.

Fluctuations in interest rates could result in lower net interest income, impair ASBs ability to originate new loans or impair the ability of ASBs adjustable-rate borrowers to make
increased payments.

Interest rate risk is a significant risk of ASBs operations. ASBs net interest income
consists primarily of interest income received on fixed-rate and adjustable-rate loans, mortgage-related securities and investments and interest expense consisting primarily of interest paid on deposits and other borrowings. Interest rate risk
arises when earning assets mature or when their interest rates change in a time frame different from that of the costing liabilities. Changes in market interest rates, including changes in the relationship between short-term and long-term market
interest rates or between different interest rate indices, can impact ASBs net interest margin.



37

##### Table of Contents

Although ASB pursues an asset-liability management strategy designed to mitigate its risk
from changes in market interest rates, unfavorable movements in interest rates could result in lower net interest income. Residential 1-4 family fixed-rate mortgage loans comprised about 60% of ASBs loan portfolio as of December 31, 2009
and do not re-price with movements in interest rates. ASB continues to face a challenging interest rate environment. The weak global, national and local economic environments have resulted in a persistent, low level of interest rates, weak loan
demand, and excess liquidity in the financial system. In addition, expectations are increasing that interest rates will rise rapidly once there are strong signs that the economic recovery is taking hold. ASBs decision to sell substantially all
of its fixed rate mortgage production throughout 2009, weak loan demand and challenges in finding investments with adequate risk-adjusted returns resulted in declining loan balances and an increase in ASBs liquidity position, which had a
negative impact on ASBs asset yields and net interest margin. The potential for compression of ASBs margin when interest rates rise is an ongoing concern.

Increases in market interest rates could have an adverse impact on ASBs cost of funds. Higher market interest rates could lead to higher interest rates paid on deposits and other borrowings.
Significant increases in market interest rates, or the perception that an increase may occur, could adversely affect ASBs ability to originate new loans and grow. An increase in market interest rates, especially a sudden increase, could also
adversely affect the ability of ASBs adjustable-rate borrowers to meet their higher payment obligations. If this occurred, it could cause an increase in nonperforming assets and charge-offs. Conversely, a decrease in interest rates or a
mismatching of maturities of interest sensitive financial instruments could result in an acceleration in the prepayment of loans and mortgage-related securities and impact ASBs ability to reinvest its liquidity in similar yielding assets.
Historically low interest rates in 2008 and 2009 resulted in high refinancings, which reduced the level of future interest income.

ASBs operations are affected by many disparate factors, some of which are beyond its control, that could result in lower net interest income or decreased demand for its products and services.

ASBs results of operations depend primarily on the level of interest income generated by ASBs earning assets in excess of the
interest expense on its costing liabilities and the supply of and demand for its products and services (i.e., loans and deposits). ASBs net income may also be adversely affected by various other factors, such as:



| |  |  | local and other economic and political conditions that could result in declines in employment and real estate values, which in turn could adversely
affect the ability of borrowers to make loan payments and the ability of ASB to recover the full amounts owing to it under defaulted loans;
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | the ability of borrowers to obtain insurance and the ability of ASB to place insurance where borrowers fail to do so, particularly in the event of
catastrophic damage to collateral securing loans made by ASB;
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | faster than expected loan prepayments that can cause an acceleration of the amortization of premiums on loans and investments and the impairment of
mortgage servicing assets of ASB;
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | changes in ASBs loan portfolio credit profiles and asset quality, which may increase or decrease the required level of allowance for loan losses;
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. As ASBs primary regulator, the OTS regularly conducts examinations to assess the safety and soundness of ASBs
operations and activities and ASBs compliance with applicable banking laws and regulations. Because ASB is an indirect subsidiary of HEI, federal regulatory authorities have the right to examine HEI and its activities.

Under certain circumstances, including any determination that ASBs relationship with HEI results in an unsafe and unsound banking
practice, these regulatory authorities have the authority to restrict the ability of ASB to transfer assets and to make distributions to its stockholders (including payment of dividends to HEI), or they could seek to require HEI to sever its
relationship with or divest its ownership of ASB. Payment by ASB of dividends to HEI may also be restricted by the OTS under its prompt corrective action regulations or its capital distribution regulations if ASBs capital position
deteriorates. In order to maintain its status as a QTL, ASB is required to maintain at least 65% of its assets in qualified thrift investments. Savings associations that fail to maintain QTL status are subject to various penalties,
including limitations on their activities. In ASBs case, the activities of HEI and HEIs other subsidiaries would also be subject to restrictions, and a failure or inability to comply with those restrictions could effectively result in
the required divestiture of ASB. There is also proposed federal legislation that could result in a required divestiture of ASB. In the event of a required divestiture, federal law substantially limits the types of entities that could potentially
acquire ASB.

A large percentage of ASBs loans and securities are collateralized by real estate, and adverse changes in the real
estate market may result in loan losses and adversely affect the Companys profitability.

As of December 31,
2009 approximately 83% of ASBs loan portfolio was comprised of loans primarily collateralized by real estate, most of which was concentrated in the State of Hawaii. ASBs financial results may be adversely affected by changes in
prevailing economic conditions, either nationally or in the state of Hawaii, including decreases in real estate values, adverse employment conditions, the monetary and fiscal policies of the federal and state government and other significant
external events. A deterioration of the economic environment in Hawaii, including a material decline in the real estate market, further declines in home resales, or a material external shock, may significantly impair the value of ASBs
collateral and ASBs ability to sell the collateral upon foreclosure. In the event of a default, amounts received upon sale of the collateral may be insufficient to recover outstanding principal and interest. Adverse changes in the economy may
also have a negative effect on the ability of borrowers to make timely repayments of their loans. In addition, if poor economic conditions result in decreased demand for real estate loans, ASBs profits may decrease if alternative investments
earn less income than real estate loans.

ASBs strategy to expand its commercial and commercial real estate lending activities may
result in higher service costs and greater credit risk than residential lending activities due to the unique characteristics of these markets.

ASB has been aggressively pursuing a strategy that includes expanding its commercial and commercial real estate lines of business. These types of loans generally entail higher underwriting and other
service costs and present greater credit risks than traditional residential mortgages.

Generally, both commercial and
commercial real estate loans have shorter terms to maturity and earn higher spreads than residential mortgage loans. Only the assets of the business typically secure commercial loans. In such cases, upon default, any collateral repossessed may not
be sufficient to repay the outstanding loan balance. In addition, loan collections are dependent on the borrowers continuing financial stability and, thus, are more likely to be affected by current economic conditions and adverse business
developments.

Commercial real estate properties tend to be unique and are more difficult to value than residential real
estate properties. Commercial real estate loans may not be fully amortizing, meaning that they may have a significant principal balance or balloon payment due at maturity. In addition, commercial real estate properties, particularly
industrial and warehouse properties, are generally subject to relatively greater environmental risks than noncommercial properties and to the corresponding burdens and costs of compliance with environmental laws and regulations. Also, there may be
costs and delays involved in enforcing rights of a property owner against tenants in default under the terms of leases with respect to commercial properties. For example, a tenant may seek the protection of bankruptcy laws, which could result in
termination of such tenants lease.

In addition to the inherent risks of commercial and commercial real estate lending
described above, the expansion of these new lines of business present execution risks, including the ability of ASB to attract personnel experienced in underwriting such loans and the ability of ASB to appropriately evaluate credit risk associated
with such loans in determining the adequacy of its allowance for loan losses.

|ITEM 5. | MARKET FOR REGISTRANTS COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
|------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HEI:

Certain of the
information required by this item is incorporated herein by reference to Note 12, Regulatory restrictions on net assets, and Note 16, Quarterly information (unaudited), to HEIs Consolidated Financial Statements and
Selected Financial Data in HEI Exhibit 13 to the Companys Current Report on Form 8-K dated February 19, 2010, and Item 12. Equity compensation plan information of this Form 10-K. Certain restrictions on dividends
and other distributions of HEI are described in this report under Item 1. BusinessHEIRegulationRestrictions on dividends and other distributions and that description is incorporated herein by reference. HEIs
common stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange and the total number of holders of record of HEI common stock as of February 19, 2010, was 10,359.

In 2009, HEI issued an aggregate of 28,800 shares of unregistered common stock pursuant to the HEI 1990 Nonemployee Director Stock Plan, as amended and restated effective May 6, 2008 (the HEI
Nonemployee Director Plan). Under the HEI Nonemployee Director Plan, each HEI nonemployee director receives, in addition to an annual cash retainer, an annual stock grant of 1,800 shares of HEI common stock (2,000 shares for the first time
grant to a new HEI director) and each nonemployee subsidiary director who is not also an HEI nonemployee director receives an annual stock grant of 1,000 shares of HEI common stock (1,000 shares for the first time grant to a new subsidiary
director). The HEI Nonemployee Director Plan is currently the only plan for nonemployee directors and provides for annual stock grants and annual cash retainers for nonemployee directors of HEI and its subsidiaries.

In 2008, HEI issued an aggregate of 31,600 shares of unregistered common stock pursuant to the HEI Nonemployee Director Plan. In 2007, HEI
issued an aggregate of 32,600 shares of unregistered common stock pursuant to the HEI 1990 Nonemployee Director Plan, as amended and restated effective May 2, 2006.

HEI did not register the shares issued under the director stock plan since their issuance did not involve a sale as defined under Section 2(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
Participation by nonemployee directors of HEI and subsidiaries in the director stock plans is mandatory and thus does not involve an investment decision.

HECO:

Since a corporate restructuring on July 1, 1983, all the common
stock of HECO has been held solely by its parent, HEI, and is not publicly traded. Accordingly, information required with respect to Market information and holders is not applicable to HECO.

The dividends declared and paid on HECOs common stock for the quarters ended March 31, 2008, March 31,
2009, June 30, 2009, September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2009 were $14,089,000, $10,536,000, $10,599,225, $11,621,079 and $22,243,696, respectively. No dividends were declared or paid on HECOs common stock for the quarters
ended June 30, 2008, September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2008 because HECO was strengthening its capital structure by retaining earnings. Also, see Liquidity and capital resources in HEIs MD&A.

See the discussion of regulatory restrictions on distributions in Note 12 to HEIs Consolidated Financial Statements, which are
incorporated herein by reference, and the discussion of Restrictions on dividends and other distributions under HEIRegulation in Item 1. Business.

|ITEM 9. | CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE
|------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HEI and HECO:

On February 23, 2010, the Audit Committees of the Boards of
Directors of HEI and HECO voted to dismiss KPMG LLP as HEIs and HECOs independent registered public accounting firm, effective as of February 24, 2010. The Company informed KPMG LLP of the decision on February 24, 2010.

KPMG LLPs reports on the HEI and HECO consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008
contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, and were not qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. The audit reports of KPMG LLP on the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting as of
December 31, 2009 and 2008 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and through February
24, 2010, there were no disagreements with KPMG LLP on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of KPMG LLP, would have
caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreements in its reports for such years. During the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and through February 24, 2010, there were no reportable events as defined in Item
304(a)(1)(v) of the SECs Regulation S-K.

The Company has provided KPMG LLP with a copy of the above disclosures in
conjunction with the filing of this report and a Form 8-K. HEI and HECO requested that KPMG LLP provide them with a letter addressed to the Securities and

Audit Committee of the HECO Board

HECO has a guarantee with respect to 6.50% cumulative quarterly income preferred securities series 2004 (QUIPS) listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Because HEI has common stock listed on the
NYSE and HECO is a wholly-owned subsidiary of HEI, HEI is subject to the NYSE corporate governance listing standards in Section 303A of the NYSE Listed Company Manual and, by reason of an exemption resulting from HEIs listing, HECO is
not. Accordingly, HECO is exempt from NYSE listing standards 303A.04, 303A.05 and 303A.06, which require listed companies to have nominating/corporate governance, compensation and audit committees.

Although not required by NYSE rules to do so, HECO has established one standing committee, the HECO Audit Committee, and voluntarily
endeavors to comply with NYSE and SEC requirements regarding audit committee composition. The current members of the HECO Audit Committee are nonemployee directors Barry K. Taniguchi (chairperson), Thomas B. Fargo, Peggy Y. Fowler, Timothy E. Johns
and Anne M. Takabuki. All Committee members are independent and qualified to serve on the Committee pursuant to NYSE and SEC requirements. Admiral Fargo and Mr. Taniguchi are also members of the HEI Audit Committee and Admiral Fargo is a member
of the audit committee for Northrop Grumman Corporation. Barry K. Taniguchi, Peggy Y. Fowler, Timothy E. Johns and Anne M. Takabuki have been determined by the HECO Board to be the audit committee financial experts on the Committee.

The HECO Audit Committee operates and acts under a written charter approved by the HECO Board and available on HEIs
website at www.hei.com. The HECO Audit Committee is responsible for overseeing (1) HECOs financial reporting processes and internal controls, (2) the performance of HECOs internal auditor, (3) risk assessment and risk
management policies set by management and (4) the Corporate Code of Conduct compliance program for HECO. In addition, the Committee provides input to the HEI Audit Committee regarding the appointment, compensation and oversight of the
independent registered public accounting firm that audits HEIs consolidated financial statements and maintains procedures for receiving and reviewing confidential reports to the HECO Audit Committee of potential accounting and auditing
concerns.

In 2009, the HECO Audit Committee held four meetings. At each meeting, the Committee held executive sessions
without management present with the independent registered public accounting firm that audits HEIs consolidated financial statements and the internal auditor.

Attendance at HECO Board and Committee meetings

In 2009,
there were seven regular meetings and one special meeting of the HECO Board. All HECO directors attended at least 75% of the combined total number of meetings of the Board and Board committee on which they served.

Family relationships; executive officer and director arrangements

There are no family relationships between any executive officer, director or director nominee of HECO and any other executive officer,
director or director nominee of HECO. There are no arrangements or understandings between any executive officer, director or director nominee of HECO and any other person pursuant to which such executive officer, director or director nominee was
selected.

Code of Conduct

The HEI Board has adopted a Corporate Code of Conduct that applies to all of HEIs subsidiaries, including HECO, and which includes a code of ethics applicable to its principal executive officer,
principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. The Corporate Code of Conduct is available on HEIs website at www.hei.com. HECO elects to disclose the information required by Form 8-K, Item 5.05, Amendments to the
Registrants Code of Ethics, or Waiver of a Provision of the Code of Ethics, through this website and such information will remain available on this website for at least a 12-month period.

Section 16(a) beneficial ownership reporting compliance

Section 16(a) of the 1934 Exchange Act requires HECOs executive officers, controller, directors and persons who own more than ten
percent of a registered class of HECOs equity securities to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Such reporting persons are also required by SEC regulations to furnish HECO with copies of all Section 16(a)
forms they file. Based solely on its review of such forms provided to it during 2009, or written representations from some of those persons that no Forms 5 were required from such persons, HECO believes that its executive officers, controller,
directors and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of HECOs equity securities complied with the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) of the 1934 Exchange Act for 2009, except for Mr. Rosenblum, who
inadvertently failed to timely file a Form 3 reporting ownership of no shares of HECO Preferred Stock. Such report has since been filed. With respect to prior years, in 2009 HECO determined that initial reports on Form 3 for the reporting persons
listed below had inadvertently not been timely filed. Such reports have since been filed. Other than HEI, which reported ownership of 100,000 shares of HECO Preferred Stock, none of such reporting persons (Robert A. Alm, Thomas B. Fargo, Jay M.
Ignacio, Timothy E. Johns, Bert A. Kobayashi, Jr., Constance H. Lau, David M. Nakada, Patsy H. Nanbu, Alan M. Oshima, Edward L. Reinhardt, Richard M. Rosenblum, Tayne S. Y. Sekimura, Anne M. Takabuki, Kelvin H. Taketa, Barry K. Taniguchi and Jeffrey
N. Watanabe) reported owning any shares of a registered class of HECOs equity securities.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Who were the named executive officers for HECO in 2009?

For 2009, the HECO named executive officers were:



| | 1. | Richard M. Rosenblum, HECO President and Chief Executive Officer.
| | -- | -----------------------------------------------------------------



| | 2. | Tayne S. Y. Sekimura, HECO Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, from September 28, 2009 and HECO Senior Vice President, Finance and Administration,
from February 1, 2008 to September 27, 2009.
| | -- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 3. | Robert A. Alm, HECO Executive Vice President, from March 2, 2009 and HECO Executive Vice President  Public Affairs from February 1, 2008 to
March 1, 2009.
| | -- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 4. | Stephen M. McMenamin, HECO Senior Vice President and Chief Information Officer. Mr. McMenamin joined HECO as an executive on September 28, 2009. Prior to that
date, Mr. McMenamin provided services to HECO as an information technology consultant.
| | -- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| | 5. | Edward L. Reinhardt, MECO President.
| | -- | ------------------------------------

Compensation information is also being disclosed for two additional named executive officers, Thomas L. Joaquin, who retired as HECO Senior Vice President-Operations on June 30, 2009, and Amy E. Ejercito, who retired as HECO Vice
President-Corporate Excellence on December 31, 2009, but who ceased being an executive officer in August 2009.

Summary of Results

In 2009, HECO and its subsidiaries continued to aggressively pursue initiatives to improve the fundamental operating and
financial performance in order to be in a better position to weather the economic downturn and to grow earnings and improve capital efficiency as conditions improve. The utilities made investments in critical reliability projects and sought timely
cost recovery and return on those investments. In the face of lower kilowatthour sales and lower and slower rate relief, management took responsible action to contain and defer spending. As a result, the utilities were able to substantially offset
the negative impact of lower than expected revenues. Simultaneously, the utilities executed the first steps in carrying out its role in the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative, a landmark multi-year agreement with the State of Hawaii aimed at achieving
among the most aggressive clean energy goals in the nation and a sustainable, clean energy future for the state. As a result of these efforts in 2009, HECO received further interim rate relief in its 2009 test year rate case for a new biodiesel
generating station on February 19, 2010, and on the same date, received approval of the joint proposal (with the Consumer Advocate) for a new method of setting electric rates called decoupling.

Despite the economic headwinds faced by HECO and virtually all businesses in 2009, HECO was able to preserve earnings, maintain its dividend
and, at the same time, continue to move forward on key strategic initiatives positioning it for improved performance and shareholder value creation in the near future while helping to achieve important clean energy goals for the State of Hawaii.

Executive Summary

The following are the major revisions to the executive compensation programs impacting the above named executive officers in 2009:



| |  |  | Base salaries for the named executive officers, excluding salary adjustments for executives who assumed additional responsibilities, were frozen in
2009.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Annual and long-term incentives for performance periods beginning in 2009 were based on a percentage of an executives base salary, rather than
the salary midpoint of the executives grade, to better reflect appropriate levels of compensation for individual contributors. Each incentive metric has its own threshold.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | HECOs President and Chief Executive Officers 2009-2011 long-term incentive plan award was denominated 60% in cash and 40% in stock units,
with a stock value determined at the beginning of the performance period, so that the awards will have a stronger linkage to improvements in shareholder value. The 2009-2011 long-term incentive plan awards, if awarded, for the other HECO
participating

| | executives will be paid in cash. The 2010-2012 long-term incentive plan will be paid 100% in stock, less an amount withheld for taxes, with the number of share units determined at the beginning
of the performance period to reward participants for increases in share value and to better align executives with shareholder interests.
| | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The HEI Excess Pay Plan and HEI Executives Deferred Compensation Plan were each amended to provide that a participant will forfeit all benefits
if terminated for cause, defined as a violation of the HEI Corporate Code of Conduct (which governs HEI and its affiliated companies).
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | The Executive Death Benefit Plan of HEI and Participating Subsidiaries was amended effective September 9, 2009 to close participation to otherwise
newly eligible employees and to freeze benefits for existing participants as of such date.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Effective January 1, 2009, company-paid executive physicals for HECO executives were eliminated in keeping with HECOs philosophy to reduce
nonperformance-based benefits.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Effective May 1, 2009, automobile and gas allowances for HECO executives were eliminated and replaced with a one-time increase to the eligible
executives base salary.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Effective August 2009, the electric rate discount benefit was eliminated for HECO employees and retirees.
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | In 2009, the tax gross-up on club membership initiation fees was eliminated.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | In 2009, restricted stock units were granted to HECO named executive officers. Restricted stock units will allow prorata vesting upon an
executives retirement, death or disability.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

HECO has either eliminated or restricted the use of tax
gross-ups to named executive officers. Tax gross-ups of death benefits have been restricted to the executives who participated in the applicable plan prior to September 9, 2009. There are no tax gross-ups in the change-in-control agreement
given to Mr. Rosenblum, the only HECO named executive officer who has a change-in-control agreement, and aggregate payments under this agreement would be limited to the maximum amount deductible under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue
Code. There are no tax gross-ups allowed on club membership initiation or membership fees. In 2009, Mr. Rosenblums relocation and reimbursement for temporary housing expenses were grossed up for taxes up to a certain aggregate limit, a
common practice for relocating executives, and a condition of Mr. Rosenblums recruitment.

Compensation Process

Can the HECO Board and the HEI Compensation Committee modify or terminate executive compensation programs?

The HECO Board and the HEI Compensation Committee reserve the right to amend, suspend or terminate any incentive program or other executive
compensation program, or HECOs or any individual executives participation in such programs. The HECO Board and the HEI Compensation Committee can exercise discretion to reduce or increase (except to the extent an award or payout is
restricted under the specific plan to satisfy the requirements for deductibility under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code) the size of any award or payout to HECO or subsidiary executives. In 2009, no portion of any bonus or long-term
incentive compensation paid to any HECO executive was non deductible under Section 162(m).

In making compensation
determinations, the HECO Board and the HEI Compensation Committee will consider financial accounting and tax consequences, if appropriate. For instance, the HECO Board and the HEI Compensation Committee may determine that there should not be any
incentive payout that would otherwise result solely from a new way of accounting for a financial measure. As another example, the HECO Board and the HEI Compensation Committee will take into account tax deductibility in establishing executive
compensation, but reserve the right to award compensation even when not deductible if it is reasonable and appropriate.

How do HECOs compensation policies and practices relate to HECOs risk management?

HECO has a robust Enterprise Risk Management function that is principally responsible for identifying and managing risk
across the company and subsidiaries, and for reporting high risk areas to the HECO Board and the HECO Audit Committee. HECOs Enterprise Risk Management function is part of HEIs overall Enterprise Risk Management function that is
principally responsible for identifying and managing risk across all HEI companies and for reporting high risk areas to the HEI Board and designated board committees. As a result, all HEI and HECO directors, including those that comprise the HEI
Compensation Committee, are aware of the risks which could have a material adverse effect on HECO. The HECO Board and HEI Compensation Committee have assessed these risks and, with advice of its independent compensation consultant, have established
HECOs compensation policies and practices and the specific executive compensation program described in this Compensation Discussion and Analysis. The HECO Board and the HEI Compensation Committee have concluded that the executive compensation
program does not encourage unnecessary or excessive risk-taking.

HECOs compensation policies and practices are designed
to encourage executive management to maximize value for shareholders, while considering its key stakeholders, including customers, employees and regulators, and to discourage decisions that introduce excessive risk to the enterprise. The executive
compensation program is structured to pay for performance and align the executive officers interests with shareholder interests, as well as encourage executives to focus on profitability, efficient use of capital, earnings growth and stock
price appreciation in both the short and long terms. Because the executive officers are in a position to directly influence HECOs performance, compensation for executive officers involves a significant portion of pay that is at
risk and tied directly to HECO and HEI performance  namely, the annual incentive bonus plan and the value of long-term equity-based incentives.

In structuring the incentive compensation plans and setting the particular goals, targets and metrics, the HEI Compensation Committee and HECO Board incorporate the following elements and practices to
ensure consistent leadership and appropriate and prudent decision-making among the named executive officers in a manner that requires cooperation and execution without taking unnecessary or excessive risks:



| |  |  | Financial performance objectives of the annual cash incentive program linked to approved budget guidelines and nonfinancial measures aligned with the
interests of all of HECOs stakeholders.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Alignment of financial and nonfinancial performance in the annual cash incentive programs for named executive officers, other officers and
non-executive employees.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Claw-back capability through an executive compensation recovery policy for the recoupment of incentive awards paid to executives who are found to be
personally responsible for fraud, gross negligence or intentional misconduct that causes a restatement of HECOs financial statements.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Greater financial opportunity in long-term incentive programs best realized through long-term total shareholder return, earnings growth, profitability
and efficient use of capital, which mitigates excessive short-term risk-taking.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Share ownership guidelines requiring the named executive officers to hold certain amounts of HEI stock, ensuring that each executive has a significant
amount of personal wealth tied to long-term performance of HEI.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Prorata payouts under the performance-based plans (above minimum thresholds), rather than an all-or-nothing approach.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Use of annual grants of long-term incentives vesting over a period of years to encourage executives to focus on sustaining HEIs long-term
performance.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Use of a variety of performance metrics, both financial and nonfinancial (e.g., net income, return on average common equity, total shareholder return,
safety and customer satisfaction, among others) that correlate to long-term creation of shareholder value and are affected by management decisions.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

administration of all awards.

Compensation Program

What are the objectives of HECOs executive compensation programs?

The following are the primary objectives of HECOs executive compensation programs:



| |  |  | Encourage and reward performance relative to business plans and strategies that maximize the value HECO delivers to HEIs shareholders and other
key stakeholders, such as customers, employees, policy makers, and regulators.
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Provide compensation and benefits that are designed to be competitive with peer companies and relevant functional positions to attract, retain and
motivate talented executives
| | - |  | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Emphasize performance-based rewards driven by results within the scope of the executives responsibility or the responsibilities of the executive
team as a group.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Provide reward strategies to align with specific business needs and talent markets.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Maintain a culture of integrity, where there is no undue pressure to meet or exceed targets for personal gain, nor encouragement of employees to take
undue or inappropriate risks.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

What is each element of executive compensation?

To meet the compensation objectives described above, the compensation for named executive officers includes the following elements:



| |  |  | Base salary.
| | - |  | ------------



| |  |  | Annual performance-based cash incentive compensation.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Long-term performance-based equity and non-equity incentive compensation and service-based restricted stock units.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Health and welfare benefits and retirement benefits.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------

Why does HECO choose to pay each element?



| |  |  | HECO chooses to pay its executives a base salary because it should pay value for value received, and salary for services rendered during the year
recognizes the individuals position, responsibilities, experience, performance and contributions.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | HECO provides its executives the opportunity to earn annual cash incentives based on the achievement of goals (1) to build fundamental earnings in
a controlled risk manner to support the continued payment of the HEI dividend, (2) to focus on nonfinancial measures important to HECOs stakeholders and (3) to motivate executives and encourage the executives commitment to
HECOs success. Shareholders and other stakeholders benefit from the achievement of these goals.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | HECO provides longer-term incentives to support initiatives to provide long-term growth in shareholder value, to increase HECOs financial and
strategic flexibility, and to build its fundamental value. HEIs long-term incentive plan rewards executives based on HECO and HEIs successful financial performance over rolling three-year performance periods. The three-year performance
period provides balance with the shorter-term focus of the annual incentive compensation plan. In 2009, HECO paid its executives in a mix of earned long-term incentives paid partially in HEI stock and service-based restricted stock units in order

| | to encourage stock ownership and alignment of the interests of executives and shareholders. The 2010-2012 long-term incentive plan awards to all HECO executives will be paid entirely in stock,
less an amount withheld for taxes, determined in share units set at the beginning of the performance period, to encourage even greater alignment of executives with shareholder interests. The long-term incentive plan also has a retention impact on
the executives.
| | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | HECO provides its executives health and welfare benefits and retirement benefits to encourage executive health and retention, as well as enabling HECO
to be competitive with its peers.
| | - |  | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How does HECO determine the amount for each element?

HECO is Hawaiis primary regulated electric public utility and supplies power to 95% of Hawaiis population through its electric
utilities, HECO, HELCO and MECO.

Peer companies are comprised of companies which, in the aggregate, are similar in business
focus, financial scope and valuation, provide similar products and services, and are sources for talented employees. The resulting peer companies are used as a reference in determining appropriate pay levels and mix of pay components.

The HEI Compensation Committees independent compensation consultant until December 2009 was Towers Perrin (now known as Towers
Watson). In early 2009, Towers Perrin conducted a review of HECOs executive compensation. The peer group was selected by considering utility industry companies with $1.0 billion to $4.2 billion in revenues, 1,070 to 4,300 employees,
and return on average common equity (ROACE) greater than 5%.

The following are the HECO peer group companies in 2009:

Following a Request for Proposal process in the 4thquarter of 2009 to evaluate compensation consultants for future work
on executive compensation, the Compensation Committee selected and retained Frederic W. Cook & Co., Inc. (Frederic W. Cook) as its independent compensation consultant.

In February 2010, Frederic W. Cook conducted a review of the HECO executive compensation. To screen peer companies for
HECO, compensation data from a peer group of 15 similarly-sized public utility companies and survey data from Towers Perrin that covered both energy services and general industry companies were reviewed. The resulting primary comparator group
includes 15 publicly-traded utilities with annual revenue between $1.5 and $6 billion, approximately half to three-times that of the holding company. The results of the review reflected that Mr. Rosenblums and Mr. Alms total
direct compensation levels (i.e., annual cash compensation plus long-term incentive awards) are at the median level of the peer group of public utility companies. The compensation levels of the other named executive officers are at or below the 25thpercentile. There was insufficient data to review
Mr. McMenamins total direct compensation because he recently joined HECO in September 2009.

How does each element fit into HECOs overall compensation objectives?

The HECO Board and HEI Compensation Committee review each compensation element to determine whether it fits into HECOs overall
compensation objectives. Management prepares and the compensation consultant reviews tally sheets on each executive officer to determine how each executives elements of pay, such as base salary, annual incentives, benefits and long-term
incentives, compared to peers and comparable functional equivalents. The HEI Compensation Committee and HECO Board use this information to consider whether any element should be reduced or increased or whether the mix of elements should be changed.

The HECO Board and HEI Compensation Committee also reviewed internal equity amongst the top executives when developing pay
recommendations. The HECO Board and HEI Compensation Committee believe that the comparative compensation among the HECO named executive officers is fair, considering job scope, experience, value to the organization, and duties relative to the other
HECO named executive officers.

Compensation Elements

What are the base salaries of the HECO named executive officers?

The base
salaries for the HECO named executive officers are set forth under the Salary column in the 2009 Summary Compensation Table below.

In February 2009, the HECO named executive officers waived the merit increases which were in the budget approved by the HEI Compensation Committee and HECO Board due to the economic downturn, except in
the case of salary adjustments for named executive officers who assumed additional responsibilities or to make up for the elimination of the company-paid car and gas allowances.

The HECO Board and HEI Compensation Committee approved a salary increase of 15%, or $44,600, for Mr. Alm, who assumed increased operational
responsibilities, effective March 2, 2009. As Executive Vice President, he is overseeing the implementation of the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative, an agreement executed between the State of Hawaii and the utilities in October 2008 to proactively
reduce the State of Hawaiis dependence on imported fossil fuel by moving towards a future of increasing renewable energy. Frederic W. Cook has determined that the HECO named executive officer salaries are near the median level of the utility
peer group.

What was HECOs 2009 annual incentive plan and were there any payouts to HECO named executive
officers under this plan?

HECOs annual incentive plan is known as the Executive Incentive Compensation Plan (EICP).
In 2009, the HECO Board and HEI Compensation Committee established the EICP goals, which focused on four key constituencies of the utility: (1) shareholders, (2) employees, (3) customers and (4) regulators. Mr. Rosenblum had
additional financial metrics that were aligned with the goals of HEI. The following table lists the performance metrics, weightings, minimum thresholds, and target and maximum goals for the 2009 EICP:

Mr. McMenamin did not participate in the 2009 annual incentive plan because he joined HECO as an executive officer late in the performance period, on September 28, 2009.

In 2009, HECO met the following annual incentive goals:

##### Table of Contents

| |  |  | Utility consolidated net income at $79.4 million, which was between the minimum goal of $76.1 million and target goal of $84.5 million. Utility
consolidated net income is the basic financial measurement of earnings for the year and contributes directly to HEIs net income, its earnings per share and support of its dividend to shareholders. Net income is a generally accepted accounting
principle (GAAP) measure.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Consolidated Safety focuses on employee safety as measured by the Total Cases Incident Rate (TCIR). TCIR is a standard measure of safety performance,
which is determined by the total number of Occupational Safety and Health Administration recordable cases x 200,000 productive hours divided by the total number of productive hours for the year. The lower the TCIR, the better. The goal was selected
because of the importance of safety to every employee. The consolidated TCIR was 3.95, which was between the target goal of 4.25 and the maximum goal of 3.88.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Hawaii Clean Energy Initiatives Big Wind/Renewables Integration. The Big Wind goal focuses the utility on meeting key milestones for development and
integration of a major renewable energy resource. The potential renewable energy contributions from this project, combined with the contributions from ongoing projects to obtain renewable energy from sources including photovoltaics, biomass,
geothermal, ocean energy and others, will help the utility meet its commitments under the Hawaii Renewable Portfolio Standards law and the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative. In 2009, HECO met its Big Wind/Renewables Integration project milestone at the
target level.

For Mr. Rosenblum, HEIs goals of net income and return on average common equity were
determined on a consolidated basis, thus impacted by the results from the bank and utility operating subsidiaries. The HEI Compensation Committee determined to exclude, for purposes of 2009 compensation measures, the impact of the losses resulting
from American Savings Banks sale of private-issue mortgage-related securities in November 2009 in addition to the allowed exclusions (one-time charges such as severance and lease buyouts and impact of other-than-temporary impairment charges).
As a result, HEI met its two goals of HEI net income and HEI return on average common equity, each at between target and maximum levels. Discussion of these goals is incorporated by reference in the HEI 2010 Proxy Statement. Half of
Mr. Rosenblums goals were based on the level of achievement of HEI goals in addition to utility goals, because he is an HEI named executive officer and in recognition of the utilitys influence on the achievement of HEIs goals.
The other HECO named executive officers focused solely on utility goals.

Because of the achievement of these goals, in
February 2010, the HECO Board and HEI Compensation Committee approved the following annual EICP awards for HECO named executive officers:



|                     |  |        |        
|-------------------- |  | ------ | -------
|Name                 |  | Payout
|Richard M. Rosenblum |  | $      | 322,289
|Tayne S. Y. Sekimura |  | $      | 55,121 
|Robert A. Alm        |  | $      | 97,144 
|Edward L. Reinhardt  |  | $      | 69,461 
|Amy E. Ejercito      |  | $      | 19,985 

What was HECOs 2007-2009
long-term incentive plan and were there any payouts to HECO named executive officers under the Plan?

HECOs
three-year performance incentive plan is known as the Long Term Incentive Plan (LTIP) and provides awards measured over rolling three-year performance periods. In 2007, the HECO Board and HEI Compensation Committee approved the following award
ranges, shown as a percentage of the salary midpoint (the middle salary level in a salary range for a particular job grade or position), for the HECO named executive officers who were participants in the plan:



|                     |  |         |   |  |        |   |  |         |  
|-------------------- |  | ------- | - |  | ------ | - |  | ------- | -
|Name                 |  | Minimum |   |  | Target |   |  | Maximum |  
|Tayne S. Y. Sekimura |  | 25.0    | % |  | 37.5   | % |  | 75.0    | %
|Robert A. Alm        |  | 25.0    | % |  | 37.5   | % |  | 75.0    | %
|Edward L. Reinhardt  |  | 25.0    | % |  | 50.0   | % |  | 100.0   | %
|Thomas L. Joaquin(1) |  | 25.0    | % |  | 37.5   | % |  | 75.0    | %



|(1) | Because Mr. Joaquin retired effective June 30, 2009, his 2007-2009 LTIP award was prorated based on the 30 months he served in the three-year performance
period.

Messrs. Rosenblum and McMenamin did not participate in the 2007-2009 LTIP because they
became employed at HECO after the start of this performance period.

The following table lists the performance metrics,

|(1) | The Edison Electric Institute (EEI) is an association of U.S. investor-owned electric companies that are representative of companies that are comparable investment
alternatives to HEI. The Institutes members serve 95% of the ultimate customers in the investor-owned segment of the industry and represent approximately 70% of the U.S. electric power industry. The three-year EEI Index measures performance
data for U.S. investor-owned electric utilities. The performance of the companies in the Index is calculated on a noncapitalized weighted basis so as not to give a disproportionate emphasis to the larger companies. Companies are added to or deleted
from the three-year index through acquisitions or merger or other changes in ownership. The EEI uses a company in the Index when it has three years of consistent comparable data comparison to this peer group. HEI uses its ranking in the EEI Index to
determine how well it performed in the three-year performance period based on total return to shareholders. In 2009, the following companies were in the three-year EEI Index:

The utility met its goal for HEI Total Return to Shareholders (TRS) in the 2007-2009 LTIP
performance period. A better total return to shareholders benefits shareholders, employees and customers by increasing the overall financial strength of HEI enterprises. Because of the achievement of the TRS goal, in February 2010 the HEI
Compensation Committee and HECO Board approved the following long-term incentive award under the 2007-2009 LTIP for the HECO executives who were in the plan, payable 60% in cash and 40% in HEI Common Stock based on the stock value at the time of the
approval of the award:

What is HECOs 2008-2010
long-term incentive plan?

HECOs 2008-2010 long-term incentive plan was explained at page 59 of its Annual Report on
Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, which explanation is incorporated by reference.

What is HECOs 2009-2011
long-term incentive plan?

In February 2009, the HEI Compensation Committee and HECO Board modified the design of the LTIP
for the 2009-2011 performance period based on utility strategy and recommendations of Towers Watson after its executive compensation review and approved the following long-term incentive goals for the 2009-2011 LTIP performance period for each of
the participating HECO named executive officers:

|Tayne S. Y. Sekimura Robert A.
Alm Edward L. Reinhardt |  | 60     | % |  | HEI Total Return to Shareholders                     |  | 30thpercentile of the Edison Electric Institute Index |  | 50thpercentile of the Edison Electric Institute Index |  | 70thpercentile of the Edison Electric Institute Index

The HECO Board and HEI Compensation Committee chose the above goals to encourage long-term achievement of HECO earnings and enhancement of shareholder value. Shareholders, customers and employees all benefit when these goals are met. TRS is
a performance measure to show the return of a stock to an investor. HEIs total return is compared to that of the EEI Index of investor-owned electric companies. It is a primary measure that reflects value created for shareholders. HEI Return
on Average Common Equity is the ratio of average net income over the three-year performance period divided by average common equity as measured from the beginning of the performance period to the end of the period. The utility return on average
common equity as a percentage of allowed return is measured as the average consolidated return on average common equity for the three-year period compared to the average consolidated allowed return on common equity as determined by the PUC for the
three-year performance period. The utility return on average common equity is a useful measurement for comparing the utilitys earnings to the earnings regulators have determined are reasonable in the most recent

ratemaking proceeding of each respective utility. It encourages executives to seek to have each utility earn its allowed regulated return, which is important to shareholders and to regulators who
share an interest in assuring that the utility can attract capital at a reasonable cost to keep the cost of capital reasonable for utility customers.

From a historical perspective, payouts are not easy to achieve, nor are they guaranteed, under the HECO LTIP. In the 2009-2011 LTIP horizon, the utility faces tough external challenges in the performance
period. Extraordinary leadership on the part of the named executive officers will be needed to achieve the long-term strategic objectives required for incentive payouts. The utility is focused on implementing the Hawaii Clean Energy Initiative. This
requires HECO to increase its portfolio of renewable resources, which requires major capital investments over the next several years, and which in turn requires timely filing and regulatory approval in utility rate cases and other important dockets.
The HECO Board and HEI Compensation Committee believe that the LTIP targets are challenging and that if HECO is successful in achieving these goals, shareholder value is expected to increase.

The following are the award levels approved by the HECO Board and HEI Compensation Committee for the LTIP incentives, shown as a percentage
of base salary:



|                     |  |         |   |  |        |   |  |         |  
|-------------------- |  | ------- | - |  | ------ | - |  | ------- | -
|Name                 |  | Minimum |   |  | Target |   |  | Maximum |  
|Richard M. Rosenblum |  | 45      | % |  | 90     | % |  | 180     | %
|Tayne S. Y. Sekimura |  | 20      | % |  | 40     | % |  | 80      | %
|Robert A. Alm        |  | 20      | % |  | 40     | % |  | 80      | %
|Edward L. Reinhardt  |  | 20      | % |  | 40     | % |  | 80      | %
|Amy E. Ejercito(1)   |  | 10      | % |  | 20     | % |  | 40      | %



|(1) | Because Ms. Ejercito retired effective December 31, 2009, if an award is earned and approved, it will be prorated based on the 12 months she served in the
three-year performance period.
|--- | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If performance goals are met, Mr. Rosenblums award will be paid 40%
in stock (determined in number of shares set at the beginning of the performance period) and 60% in cash to recognize his greater role in influencing stock performance, while the other executives will be paid entirely in cash. The 2010-2012 LTIP to
all HECO executives will be paid entirely in stock, less an amount withheld for taxes, determined in share units set at the beginning of the performance period, to encourage even greater alignment of executives with shareholder interests.

How does HECO award stock to HECO named executive officers?

HECO provides HEI stock awards to executives to strengthen the linkage of executive compensation with improvement in shareholder value. The
2007-2009 LTIP awards described above are performance-based and paid partially in stock. The 2008-2010 long-term incentive awards will be paid 40% in stock. As noted above, any award to Mr. Rosenblum under the 2009-2011 LTIP will be paid 40% in
stock (determined in number of shares set at the beginning of the performance period) and the 2010-2012 LTIP will be paid 100% in stock less an amount withheld for taxes. Future stock awards granted to the executives increase the total long-term
compensation opportunities of the executives by being determined up front in number of shares rather than dollar values. The HECO Board and HEI Compensation Committee determine the number of shares awarded in time-vesting stock grants, versus shares
that are performance-based, in consultation with its compensation consultant and considering peer practices.

Board
compensation consultant Frederic W. Cook found that the carried interest share ownership for the HECO named executive officers is generally competitive with peers. The unvested value from the long-term incentive plan and restricted stock units is
about twice the annual grant values, which the HEI Compensation Committee and HECO Board generally viewed as sufficient for retention purposes. The cliff vesting on the restricted stock unit awards ensures unvested value extends out four years with
no prorata vesting before the vesting period ends except when the participants termination is due to retirement, death or disability.

In 2009, restricted stock units (RSUs) were granted to the HECO named executive officers. With RSUs, no stock is issued or outstanding until the actual release of the shares at vesting. Dividend
equivalents will be calculated quarterly during the vesting period and payable upon vesting four years from the date of RSU grant. RSUs will allow prorata vesting upon an executives retirement, death or disability

The 2009 grant of RSUs specific to the named executive officers are summarized in the 2009 Grants of Plan-Based Awards and related notes
below.

What retirement benefits do HECO named executive officers have?

HECO provides retirement benefits to all eligible employees, including the HECO named executive officers, through the tax-qualified HEI
Retirement Plan as a means of providing financial security in recognition of their years of service. Additional retirement benefits are also provided to certain HECO named executive officers through the nonqualified HEI Excess Pay Plan, which
provides the portion of benefits that cannot be paid from the qualified plans due to Internal Revenue Code limits. Retirement benefits under these plans specific to the HECO named executive officers are discussed in further detail in the Pension
Benefits table and related notes below.

Can HECO named executive officers participate in nonqualified deferred compensation plans?

HECO provides named executive officers with the opportunity to participate in the HEI Executives Deferred Compensation
Plan, a nonqualified deferred compensation plan that allows executives to defer payment of annual and long-term incentive awards and the resulting tax liability. In 2009, no HECO named executive officer participated in this plan.

Do HECO named executive officers have executive death benefits?

The Executive Death Benefit Plan of HEI and Participating Subsidiaries provides death benefits to an executives beneficiaries in the event of an executives death while employed or after
retirement. This plan was frozen effective September 9, 2009. The HEI Compensation Committee and HECO Board closed participation in the plan to any individual who was not already a participant by September 9, 2009 and froze the benefits of
participants who were employees as of such date (i.e., foreclosed any increase in death benefits due to salary increases after September 9, 2009). The death benefits under this frozen plan are grossed up in recognition that life insurance is
normally tax exempt. However, freezing the plan reduces the amount of gross up benefits that will be required in the future. Death benefits are discussed in further detail in the Pension Benefits table and related notes below.

Do HECO named executive officers have change-in-control agreements?

Mr. Rosenblum is the only HECO named executive officer who is a party to a change-in-control agreement.

Change-in-control agreements can be an appropriate tool to recruit executives as an expected part of the compensation package, to encourage the continued attention of key executives to the performance of
their assigned duties without distraction in the event of a potential change in control, and to assist in retaining key executives. Change-in-control agreements can also protect against executive flight during a transaction when key executives
might, in the absence of the agreement, accept employment with competitors.

Mr. Rosenblum was granted a double trigger
change-in-control agreement, which means that he receives a severance payment only if there is both a change in control and he were to lose his job as a result. A change in control means essentially a change in ownership of HEI or substantial change
in the voting power of HEIs securities or a change in the majority of the composition of the HEI Board following a consummation of a merger, tender offer or similar transaction. Mr. Rosenblums agreement also defines a change in
control as essentially a change in ownership of HECO. Mr. Rosenblum would receive a cash lump sum severance multiplier of two times the sum of Mr. Rosenblums base salary and annual bonus (determined to be the greater of the current
target bonus or the largest actual bonus during the preceding three years). The severance benefits are subject to a release of claims by Mr. Rosenblum. The agreement remains in effect for two years following a change in control.

Change-in-control benefits specific to Mr. Rosenblum are discussed in further detail in the Potential Payments upon Termination or
Change in Control section and related notes below.

What other benefits do HECO named executive officers have?

HECO provides certain limited other compensation to the named executive officers because they are commonly provided to business executives in
Hawaii, such as club memberships primarily for the purpose of business entertainment, or as necessary to recruit executives, such as relocation expenses or extra weeks of vacation, or because of legacy programs that have since been discontinued,
such as the electricity discount.

In 2009, Mr. Rosenblum had a club membership for the primary purpose of business
entertainment expected of executives in his position. His initiation fee was not grossed up for taxes pursuant to a change in policy. Mr. Rosenblum also received a residential electricity discount, which was available to all qualifying HECO
employees and retirees until this benefit was eliminated in August 2009.

HECO has eliminated all tax gross-up practices where possible, particularly with respect to
non business-related perquisites. HECO may, from time to time, reimburse for business-related expenses and only where reasonable. For example, in the recruitment of Mr. Rosenblum who joined HECO in 2009, other compensation was negotiated. He
was reimbursed for relocation and temporary housing expenses pursuant to his move from the U.S. mainland to Hawaii. These expenses, which were deemed reasonable by HECO, were grossed up for taxes to a certain dollar limit, a common practice for
executives relocating to Hawaii, and a condition of his recruitment. Mr. Rosenblum received a signing bonus upon his hire by HECO, subject to monthly prorata reimbursement in the event of a voluntary termination or termination for cause prior
to the completion of 36 months of service. As part of his employment offer, Mr. Rosenblum also was extended a special self-liquidating severance agreement so in the event his employment is terminated on or before the third anniversary of the
date of his hire, he will be paid a declining portion of his annual base salary and any target annual bonus amount, depending on his length of service. Such a severance agreement is not uncommon when hiring experienced executives, especially from
the mainland, who may have difficulty in finding other employment if their job is terminated within months of their hire and relocation. In order to recruit Mr. Rosenblum, an experienced utility executive, HECO agreed to give Mr. Rosenblum
credit of two years age and service for purposes of calculating his retirement benefits under the HEI Excess Pay Plan, which was estimated to increase the annual cost of the HEI Excess Pay Plan by approximately $38,000. Mr. Rosenblum also
received 10 days of sick leave and four weeks of vacation as part of his offer, which is more than what new employees would usually receive.

Mr. McMenamin, who joined HECO in September 2009, was eligible for reimbursement for temporary housing and monthly round-trip airfare to California for 36 months. Mr. McMenamin is eligible for
three weeks of vacation.

Two executives retired in 2009 due to an internal management reorganization: Mr. Joaquin and
Ms. Ejercito. In recognition of his years of service and in exchange for a release of claims, Mr. Joaquin was extended a one-year consulting agreement upon his retirement from HECO on June 30, 2009. This agreement included payment for
severance benefits calculated as described in the Severance Pay Plan for Merit Employees of Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. and Affiliates. Under Mr. Joaquins agreement, a retainer and consulting fee equal to the sum of his annual base
salary in effect on June 30, 2009 (his last day of employment with HECO) and his targeted annual bonus calculated as 30% of his salary midpoint in effect on June 30, 2009, will be paid in two installments. The first installment (50% of the
aggregate fee) was paid on July 1, 2009; the second and final installment (50% of the aggregate fee) will be paid on July 1, 2010. Mr. Joaquin will provide up to 500 hours of consultation to HECO until June 30, 2010, and HECO
will also reimburse Mr. Joaquin for travel and business expenses associated with rendering consulting services to HECO; the cost of medical, dental, vision and Medicare B insurance premium payments for himself and for his spouse for a period
not to exceed 18 months beginning July 1, 2009; title to the HECO automobile he used while an employee; and the prorated cash value of his restricted stock grants, which were forfeited upon his retirement based on the terms of the restricted
stock agreements.

In exchange for a release of claims, Ms. Ejercito, who retired from HECO on December 31, 2009,
was extended a separation agreement that included payments for severance benefits calculated as described in the Severance Pay Plan for Merit Employees of Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. and Affiliates, an additional lump sum payment of $175,000,
and services of an employment consultant, which she did not use in 2009. Effective February 2010, Ms. Ejercito will also have a consulting services agreement with HECO to compensate her for time, expenses and materials spent assisting HECO
on various projects.

For further description of the amounts described above see footnote 6 to the Summary Compensation Table.

date fair value of grant awards computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 rather than the dollar amount recognized for financial statement purposes for the fiscal year. Stock awards include restricted stock units and performance shares granted

reported above are based upon the probable outcome of the performance conditions as of the grant date, which is assumed to be the target level. The target value of the performance shares granted to Mr. Rosenblum is $162,081. Assuming

EICP Executive Incentive
Compensation Plan (annual incentive)

LTIP Long-Term Incentive Plan (2009-2011 period)

RSU Restricted stock unit

|(1) | Includes awards under, respectively, HEIs 2009 annual EICP and 2009-2011 LTIP based on meeting performance goals at threshold, target and maximum levels. See
further discussion of the features of the awards in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis above.
|--- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(2) | Represents shares of stock that would be issued under the 2009-2011 LTIP based upon the achievement of certain performance goals at threshold, target and maximum levels
and vesting at the end of the three-year performance period. LTIP is forfeited for terminations of employment during the vesting period, except for terminations due to death, disability and retirement, which allow for pro-rata participation based
upon completed months of service after a minimum of 12 months of service in the performance period. See further discussion of the features of the awards in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis above.
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(3) | Represents shares of restricted stock units awarded in 2009 that will be issued as unrestricted stock four years after the date of the grant. The awards are forfeited
for terminations of employment during the vesting period, except for terminations due to death, disability and retirement, which allow for pro-rata vesting. The primary purpose of the RSUs is retention and there are no conditions to vesting other
than the four-year cliff vesting period.
|--- | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

|(4) | Grant date fair value for shares under the 2009-2011 LTIP is estimated in accordance with the fair-value based measurement of accounting as described in FASB ASC Topic
718. For a discussion of the assumptions and methodologies used to calculate the amounts reported, see the discussion of performance shares contained in Note 9 (Share-based compensation) to HEIs Consolidated Financial Statements. Grant date
fair value for RSUs is based on the average price of HEI Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange on the date of the grant of the award.

|(1) | Normal retirement benefits under the HEI Retirement Plan are calculated based on a formula of 2.04% x Credited Service (maximum 67%) x Final Average
Pay (average monthly base salary for highest thirty-six consecutive months out of the last ten years). Credited service is generally the same as the years of service with HECO or other participating companies (HEI, MECO and HELCO). Additional
credited service of up to eight months is used to calculate benefits for participants who retire at age 55 or later with respect to unused sick leave from the current year and prior two years. Credited service is also granted to disabled
participants who are vested at the time of disability for the period of disability. The normal form of benefit is a joint and 50% survivor annuity for married participants and a single life annuity for unmarried participants. Other actuarially
equivalent optional forms of benefit are also available. Participants who qualify to receive benefits immediately upon termination may also elect a single sum distribution of up to $50,000 with the remaining benefit payable as an annuity. At early
retirement, the single sum distribution option is not actuarially equivalent

| | to the other forms of benefit. Retirement benefits are increased by an amount equal to approximately 1.4% of the initial benefit every twelve months following retirement. The plan provides
benefits at early retirement (prior to age 65), normal retirement (age 65), deferred retirement (over age 65) and death. Early retirement benefits are available for participants who meet the age and service requirements at ages 50-64. Early
retirement benefits are reduced for participants who retire prior to age 60, based on the participants age at the early retirement date. The accrued normal retirement benefit is reduced by an applicable percentage, which ranges from 30% for
early retirement at age 50 to 1% at age 59. Accrued or earned benefits are not reduced for eligible employees who retire at age 60 and above. Mr. Joaquin retired on June 30, 2009 and Ms. Ejercito retired on December 31, 2009. As
of December 31, 2009, Messrs. Alm and Reinhardt are eligible for early retirement benefits under the HEI Retirement Plan. Benefits for Ms. Sekimura are vested and her earliest retirement date is August 1, 2012, when she will meet the
age and service requirements for early retirement under the plan, assuming continued employment. Messrs. Rosenblum and McMenamin are not eligible for early retirement benefits under the HEI Retirement Plan and have no vested interest in the amounts
reported above.

|(2) | Benefits under the HEI Excess Pay Plan are determined using the same formula as the HEI Retirement Plan, but are not subject to the Internal Revenue Code limits on the
amount of annual compensation that can be used for calculating benefits under qualified retirement plans ($245,000 in 2009 as indexed for inflation) and on the amount of annual benefits that can be paid from qualified retirement plans (the lesser of
$195,000 in 2009 as indexed for inflation, or the participants highest average compensation over three years). Benefits payable under the HEI Excess Pay Plan are reduced by the benefit payable from the HEI Retirement Plan. Early retirement,
death benefits and vesting provisions are similar to the HEI Retirement Plan. As of December 31, 2009, all of the HECO named executive officers except for Mr. Reinhardt and Ms. Ejercito were participants in the plan. On
November 16, 2009, the HEI Board approved an Addendum to the HEI Excess Pay Plan, which granted Mr. Rosenblum an additional two years of service and two years added to his age to be applied in the calculation of his benefit under the HEI
Excess Pay Plan, which was estimated to increase the annual cost of the HEI Excess Pay Plan by approximately $38,000. Mr. Joaquin retired on June 30, 2009 and started receiving benefits under the HEI Excess Plan beginning January 1,
2010. As of December 31, 2009, Mr. Alm is eligible for early retirement benefits immediately upon termination of employment. Accrued benefits for Ms. Sekimura are vested under the HEI Excess Pay Plan and her earliest retirement date
is August 1, 2012, when she will meet the age and service requirements for early retirement under the plan, assuming continued employment. Mr. Rosenblum and Mr. McMenamin are not eligible for early retirement benefits and have no
vested interest in amounts reported above.

|(3) | Messrs. Rosenblum, Alm and Reinhardt and Ms. Sekimura are covered by the Executive Death Benefit Plan of HEI and Participating Subsidiaries. The plan provides
death benefits equal to two times the executives base salary if the executive dies while actively employed or, if disabled, dies prior to age 65 and one times the executives base salary if the executive dies following retirement. Death
benefits are grossed up by the amount necessary to pay income taxes on the grossed up benefit amount in recognition that such benefits are in lieu of tax-exempt life insurance. The Executive Death Benefit Plan of HEI and Participating Subsidiaries
was amended effective September 9, 2009 to close participation to otherwise newly eligible employees and freeze the benefit for existing participants. Under the amendment, benefits payable to the beneficiaries of Messrs. Rosenblum, Alm and
Reinhardt and Ms. Sekimura are equal to two times the respective executives base salary on September 9, 2009, if they die while actively employed, or, if disabled, die prior to age 65. Benefits payable to the beneficiaries of
Mr. Joaquin and Ms. Ejercito are equal to one times their base salary on the earlier of their retirement date or September 9, 2009 (Mr. Joaquin - $315,300, Ms. Ejercito - $163,900). Mr. McMenamin is not eligible for benefits
under the Executive Death Benefit Plan of HEI and Participating Subsidiaries.

|(4) | The present value of accumulated benefits for the HECO named executive officers included in the Pension Benefits table was determined based on the following:
|--- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Methodology The benefits are calculated as of December 31, 2009 based on the credited service and
pay of the HECO named executive officer as of such date.

Assumptions

| | (a) | Discount Rate  The discount rate is the interest rate used to discount future benefit payments in order to reflect the time value of money. The discount rate used
in the present value calculations is 6.5% as of December 31, 2009.
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (b) | Mortality Table  The RP-2000 Mortality Table (separate male and female rates) projected to the date of determination with Scale AA is used to discount future
pension benefit payments in order to reflect the probability of survival to any given future date. For all benefits, mortality is applied post-retirement only.
| | --- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (c) | Retirement Age  Each HECO named executive officer except Mr. Joaquin is assumed to remain in active employment until, and assumed to retire at, the earliest
age when unreduced pension benefits would be payable, but no earlier than attained age as of December 31, 2009. Mr. Rosenblum was granted an additional two years of service and two years added to his age to be applied in the calculation of
his benefit under the HEI Excess Pay Plan.
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (d) | Pre-Retirement Decrements  Pre-retirement decrements refer to events that could occur between the measurement date and the retirement age (such as withdrawal,
early retirement, and death) that would impact the present value of benefits. No pre-retirement decrements are assumed in the calculation of pension benefit table present values, although decrements are assumed for financial statement purposes.
| | --- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

| | (e) | Unused Sick Leave  Each HECO named executive officer is assumed to have accumulated 1,160 unused sick leave hours at retirement age.
| | --- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

HECO named executive officers may elect to participate in the HEI Executives Deferred Compensation Plan which allows executives to defer portions of their compensation from HECO for annual and
long-term performance awards. No HECO named executive officer is currently participating in this plan.

Potential Payments Upon
Termination or Change in Control

The tables below reflect the amount of potential payments to each HECO named
executive officer in the event of retirement, voluntary termination, termination for cause, termination without cause, and termination following a change in control, assuming termination occurred on December 31, 2009. The amounts listed below
are estimates; actual amounts to be paid would depend on the actual date of termination and circumstances existing at that time (other than in the case of Mr. Joaquin and Ms. Ejercito). Mr. Rosenblum is the only named executive
officer with a change-in-control agreement. The amounts shown below for payments made upon a qualifying termination of

Note: All stock-based award amounts were valued using
the 2009 year-end closing price of HEI Common Stock of $20.90 per share. Other benefits that are available to all employees on a non-discriminatory basis and perquisites aggregating less than $10,000 in value have not been listed.



|(1) | Retirement Payments & Benefits. In addition to the payments presented above, retired executives are entitled to receive their vested qualified
retirement plan benefits under all termination scenarios. See the Pension Benefits table and related notes.

|(2) | Voluntary Termination Payment & Benefits. The amounts shown are benefits available to the named executive officers on December 31, 2009.

|(3) | Termination for Cause Payments & Benefits.If the executive is terminated for cause, he or she could lose any annual or long-term incentives based upon
the HEI Compensation Committees right to amend, suspend or terminate the incentive awards or any portion of it at any time. Cause generally means a violation of the HEI Corporate Code of Conduct. Termination for cause results in
the forfeiture of all vested nonqualified stock options and stock appreciation rights and related dividend equivalents, unvested restricted stock, unvested restricted stock units and participation in incentive plans. The executives
participation in the change-in-control agreement would also end and the executives benefit from the nonqualified retirement plans would be forfeited.

|(4) | Termination without Cause Payments & Benefits.If the executive is terminated without cause, he or she could lose any annual or long-term incentives
based upon the HECO Boards and HEI Compensation Committees right to amend, suspend or terminate the incentive awards or any portion of it at any time. Termination without cause results in the pro rata vesting of restricted stock (based
on service to date compared to original vesting period). In the case of nonqualified stock options and stock appreciation rights, the executive has one year in which to exercise.

|(5) | Change-in-Control Payments & Benefits.Only Mr. Rosenblum has a change-in-control agreement. Change in control as defined under
the change-in-control agreements and HEIs Stock Option Incentive Plan generally means a change in ownership of HEI, a substantial change in the voting power of HEIs securities or a change in the majority of the composition of the HEI
Board following a consummation of a merger, tender offer or similar transaction. Mr. Rosenblums change-in-control agreement also defines a change in control as essentially a change in ownership of HECO. Mr. Rosenblums
change-in-control agreement provides a lump sum severance multiplier of two times applied to the sum of his base salary and annual bonus (determined to be the greater of the current target bonus or the largest actual bonus during the preceding three
years). In addition, he would

| | receive continued life, disability, dental, accident and health insurance benefits for two years. Mr. Rosenblum would also receive a lump sum payment equal to the present value of the
additional benefit he would have earned under the retirement and savings plans applicable to him during the severance period. He would also receive the greater of current target or actual projected short- and long-term incentive bonuses, prorated if
termination occurs during the first half of the applicable performance period and the full aggregate value if termination occurs after the end of the first half of the applicable performance period. Any unvested restricted stock and restricted stock
units will become vested and free of restrictions upon a change in control. Additional age and service credit is received for the severance period for purposes of determining retiree welfare benefit eligibility. Payment would generally be delayed
for six months following termination of employment to the extent required to avoid an additional tax under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code. Interest would accrue during the six-month delay period at the prevailing six-month
certificate of deposit rate and payments would be set aside during that period in a grantor (rabbi) trust. All such severance and benefit payments under Mr. Rosenblums change-in-control agreement are limited to the maximum
amount deductible under Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code, and to the extent necessary to make such payments deductible, the severance and benefit payments may be reduced.

Other benefits are provided to executives, whether or not they have a change-in-control agreement, upon a change in control
under the Stock Option Incentive Plan, as amended and restated, effective May 6, 2008. The provisions in the Stock Option Incentive Plan and respective plan agreements provide for accelerated vesting or payments to be made to executives upon a
change in control.

Mr. Joaquin retired on June 30, 2009 and would not receive any additional
accelerated vesting or payments upon a change-in-control.



|(6) | Executive Incentive Compensation Plan. Upon death, disability or retirement, executives continue to participate in the annual incentive compensation plan at a
pro-rated amount, provided there has been a minimum service of nine months during the annual performance period, with payment to be made at the end of the annual incentive plan cycle if the applicable performance goals are achieved, using the
executives salary at the time of termination. In termination scenarios other than a change in control, participants who terminate for other reasons during the plan cycle forfeit any accrued annual incentive award. Annual incentive compensation
payments in the event of a change in control are described in footnote 5 above and quantified as part of the Change- in-Control Agreement payment in the table above.

|(7) | Long-Term Incentive Plan. Upon death, disability or retirement, executives continue to participate in each on-going long-term incentive plan cycle at a prorated
amount, provided there has been a minimum service of twelve months during the three-year performance period, with payment to be made at the end of the three-year cycle if performance goals are achieved, using the executives salary at the time
of termination. The amounts shown are at target for goals achievable for all applicable plan years, prorated based upon service through December 31, 2009; actual payouts will depend upon performance achieved at the end of the plan cycle. In
termination scenarios other than a change in control, participants who terminate during the plan cycle for reasons other than death, disability or retirement forfeit any accrued long-term incentive award. Long-term incentive compensation payments in
the event of a change in control are described in footnote 5 above and quantified as part of the Change-in-Control Agreement payment in the table above.

|(8) | Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units. Restricted stock vests on a prorata basis (based on service to date compared to the original vesting period) upon
termination without cause and becomes fully vested upon a change in control. For all other termination events, the unvested restricted stock is forfeited. Restricted stock units vest on a prorata basis (based on completed quarters of service over
the original vesting period) upon termination due to death, disability and retirement and becomes fully vested upon a change in control. For all other termination events, the unvested restricted stock units are forfeited. The amount shown is based
on the 2009 year-end closing price of vested shares. Restricted stock and restricted stock unit severance payments in the event of a change in control are described in footnote 5 above and have been quantified as part of the Change-in-Control
Agreement payment in the table above. Ms. Ejercito retired on December 31, 2009 and forfeited her unvested restricted stock on January 1, 2010.

|(9) | Special Arrangements. As part of his employment offer, Mr. Rosenblum has a special severance agreement where in the event that his employment is terminated
without cause on or before the third anniversary of his date of hire, he would be paid a declining portion of his annual base salary and any target bonus amount for the Executive Incentive Compensation Plan. If his employment is terminated on or
before the first anniversary of employment, he would receive 18 months of salary and any target annual bonus. If his employment is terminated after his first anniversary and on or before his second anniversary of employment, he would receive 12
months of salary and any target annual bonus. If his employment is terminated after his second anniversary and on or before his third anniversary of employment, he would receive 6 months of salary and any target annual bonus. After his third year of

Director compensation

HECO believes that a competitive package is necessary to attract and retain individuals with the experience, skills and qualifications needed for the challenging role of serving as a director on the board
of a regulated electric utility. Based on the recommendations of the HEI Compensation Committee, which is responsible for recommending nonemployee director compensation for the boards of HEI and its subsidiary companies, and taking into
consideration the recommendations of the HEI Compensation Committees independent compensation consultant, who periodically reviews directors compensation, HECO chooses to compensate nonemployee directors using a mix of cash and HEI
Common Stock to allow for an appropriate level of compensation for services, including stock awards that will align the interests of HECO directors with the interests of HEI shareholders.

Only nonemployee directors receive compensation for their service as directors. Compensation
is paid in the form of a cash retainer and an HEI stock grant. Timothy E. Johns, Peggy Y. Fowler, Bert A. Kobayashi, Jr., David M. Nakada, Alan M. Oshima, and Anne M. Takabuki are the nonemployee directors of HECO who are not also directors of HEI.
Thomas B. Fargo, A. Maurice Myers, Kelvin H. Taketa, Barry K. Taniguchi, and Jeffrey N. Watanabe are nonemployee directors of HECO, who are also directors of HEI and they receive only a cash retainer from HECO. They also receive stock grants for
their services as HEI directors.

Stock awards.HECO nonemployee directors who are not also on the HEI Board receive annually
1,000 shares of HEI Common Stock, which is granted for the purpose of further aligning directors and shareholders interests in improving shareholder value. A one-time grant of 1,000 shares is also given to newly elected or appointed HECO
directors. Stock grants to newly elected or appointed directors are given as soon as practical after the election of such directors. Stock grants to existing directors are given during the calendar quarter of HEIs annual meeting. For fiscal
year 2009, each of the HECO nonemployee directors who is not also on the HEI board received 1,000 shares of HEI Common Stock in June 2009.

Cash retainers. The following is the annual retainer schedule for nonemployee directors of HECO paid in quarterly installments, effective beginning the second quarter of 2009 and pro-rated for service thereafter. Nonemployee
directors of HECO who also serve as directors on the HEI and subsidiary company boards receive fees for service on such boards or committees thereof as indicated below.

|HECO Audit Committee Chairman |  | $ | 10,000 | (additional)
|HECO Audit Committee Member   |  | $ | 4,000  | (additional)

Further, the
HEI Board also approved meeting fees of $750 per meeting earned by a director who is a member of the Audit Committee after attending a minimum of eight Audit Committee meetings during the calendar year.

Until June 2009, nonemployee directors of HECO who served on the boards of HELCO and MECO, both HECO subsidiaries, were entitled to a
meeting fee of $500 for each meeting attended. Mr. Taniguchi and Ms. Takabuki were the only nonemployee HECO directors who served on these subsidiary boards. They resigned from these boards in June 2009. The members of these subsidiary
boards are now composed entirely of officers of HECO and/or its subsidiaries who receive no additional compensation for such service.

Nonemployee directors may elect to participate in the HEI Nonemployee Directors Deferred Compensation Plan, which allows any nonemployee director to defer compensation from HEI or its participating subsidiaries for service as a
director. No HECO director is currently participating in this plan. Directors, at their election and at their cost, may also participate in the group employee medical, vision and dental plans available to all HECO employees. No HECO director
participated in the program during 2009.

Information concerning the directors of HECO who are also directors of HEI,
including Admiral Fargo, Mr. Myers, Mr. Taketa, Mr. Taniguchi, and Mr. Watanabe will be set forth in the applicable sections of the HEI 2010 Proxy Statement, which are incorporated herein by reference.

(i) stock options and related dividend equivalent shares thereon and (ii) restricted stock units upon retirement. These shares are included for purposes of calculating the percentage ownership of each individual named above and all
directors and executive officers as a group as described in footnote (5) below, but are not deemed to be outstanding as to any other person. This column does not include any shares subject to stock appreciation rights (SARs) and the related
dividend equivalent rights held by Mses. Lau, Sekimura and Ejercito and Messrs. Alm, Reinhardt and Joaquin. As of February 8, 2010, these persons held a total of 158,000 SARs (granted in 2004 and/or 2005) and 2,270 dividend equivalent rights,
which have vested as of February 8, 2010 or will vest within 60 days after February 8, 2010. Upon exercise of a SAR, the holder will receive the number of shares of HEI Common Stock that has a total value equivalent to the difference
between the exercise price of the SAR and the fair market value of HEI Common Stock on the date of exercise, which is defined in the grant agreement as the average of the high and low sales prices on the NYSE on that date. As of February 8,
2010, the fair market value of HEI Common Stock as defined in the grant agreement was $18.945 per share, which is lower than the exercise price of all of the SARs held by Mses. Lau, Sekimura and Ejercito and Messrs. Alm, Reinhardt and Joaquin on
February 8, 2010. Thus, as of February 8, 2010, no shares would be issuable under these SARs. If the market value of HEI Common Stock increases to a sufficient level (above $26.02 in the case of SARs granted in 2004 and above $26.18 in the
case of SARs granted in 2005), then shares could be issued under these SARs within 60 days after February 8, 2010,

|ITEM 13. | CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
|-------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------

HEI:

The information required under this item for HEI is incorporated
herein by reference to the sections relating to related person transactions and director independence in the HEI 2010 Proxy Statement.

HECO:

Does HECO have a written related person transaction policy?

The HEI Board has adopted a written related person transaction policy that is separate from HEIs Corporate Code of Conduct. Both the
related person transaction policy and Corporate Code of Conduct also apply to HECO and its subsidiaries. The related person transaction policy is specific to transactions between related persons such as executive officers and directors and their
immediate family members in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000 and in which any related person had or will have a direct or indirect material interest. Under the policy, the Board, acting through the Nominating and Corporate Governance
Committee, will approve a related person transaction involving a director if the Board determines in advance that the transaction is not inconsistent with the best interest of HEI and its shareholders. The Board, acting through the Audit Committee,
will approve a related person transaction involving an officer if the Board determines in advance that the transaction is not in violation of HEIs Corporate Code of Conduct.

Are there any related person transactions with HECO?

There have been no
transactions since January 1, 2009, and there are no currently proposed transactions, in which HECO or any of its subsidiaries was a participant, the amount involved exceeds $120,000, and any related person (as defined in Item 404 of
Regulation S-K) had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.

Are HECO directors independent?

HECO has a guarantee with respect to QUIPS listed on the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE). Because HEI has common stock listed on NYSE and HECO
is a wholly-owned subsidiary of HEI, HEI is subject to the corporate governance listing standards in Section 303A of the NYSE Listed Company Manual and, by reason of an exemption resulting from HEIs listing, HECO is not. Accordingly, HECO
is exempt from NYSE listing standards 303A.01 and 303A.02 regarding director independence.

Although HECO is exempt from NYSE
listing standards 303A.01 and 303A.02, HECO voluntarily endeavors to comply with these standards for director independence. The HEI Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee assists the HECO Board with its independence determinations.

For a director to be considered independent under NYSE listing standards 303A.01 and 303A.02, the HECO Board must determine
that the director does not have any direct or indirect material relationship with HECO or its parent or subsidiaries. The NYSE standards also specify circumstances under which a director may not be considered independent, such as when the director
has been an employee of the company within the last three fiscal years, if the director has had certain relationships with the companys external or internal auditor within the last three fiscal years or when the company has made or received
payments for goods or services to entities with which the director or an immediate family member (as defined by NYSE) of the director has specified affiliations and the aggregate amount of such payments in any year within the last three fiscal years
exceeds the greater of $1,000,000 or 2% of such entitys consolidated gross revenues for the last fiscal year.

The HEI
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the HECO Board considered the information below, which was provided by HECO directors and/or HEI and its subsidiaries, concerning relationships between the director (or the directors immediate
family members and entities with which such directors or immediate family members have certain affiliations) and HECO (and its affiliates). Based on its consideration of the relationships

##### Table of Contents

described below and the recommendations of the HEI Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the HECO Board determined that all of the nonemployee directors of HECO (Messrs. Fargo, Johns,
Kobayashi, Jr., Myers, Nakada, Oshima, Taketa, Taniguchi and Watanabe and Mses. Fowler and Takabuki) are independent. The remaining directors of HECO, Ms. Lau and Mr. Rosenblum, are employee directors.



| |  |  | With respect to Messrs. Johns, Kobayashi, Jr., Nakada, Taniguchi and Ms. Takabuki, the HECO Board considered the amounts paid during the last
three fiscal years to purchase electricity from HECO, HELCO or MECO (the sole public utilities providing electricity to the islands of Oahu, Hawaii and Maui, respectively) by entities employing these directors and where their immediate family
members are executive officers. None of the amounts paid by any of these entities for electricity (excluding pass-through surcharges for fuel and for Hawaii state revenue taxes) within the last three fiscal years exceeded the NYSE threshold that
would automatically result in a director being non-independent (i.e., the greater of $1 million or 2% of such entitys consolidated gross revenues for the last fiscal year). The HECO Board also considered that HECO, HELCO and MECO are the sole
source of electric power on the islands of Oahu, Hawaii and Maui, respectively, and that the rates charged by these public utilities for electricity are fixed by state regulatory authority. Since purchasers of electricity from HECO, HELCO and MECO
have no choice as to supplier and no ability to negotiate rates or other terms, the HECO Board determined that these relationships do not impair the independence of these directors.

| |  |  | With respect to Messrs. Johns, Nakada and Taketa, the HECO Board considered the amount of charitable contributions during the last three fiscal years
from HEI and its subsidiaries to nonprofit organizations where these directors serve as executive officers. No such donations exceeded $200,000 per entity in any single fiscal year during the last three fiscal years. In determining that none of
these relationships affected director independence, the HECO Board considered that Company policy requires that charitable contributions from HECO or its affiliates that directly benefit entities from which a HECO director receives compensation is
to be pre-approved by the HEI Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and ratified by the HEI Board.
| | - |  | -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | With respect to Messrs. Johns, Nakada, Taketa, Taniguchi and Watanabe, the HECO Board considered other director or officer positions held by those
directors at entities for which another HECO director or officer serves as a director or officer and determined that none of these relationships affected the independence of these directors. None of these relationships resulted in a compensation
committee interlock or would automatically preclude an independence finding under the NYSE standards.
| | - |  | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | With respect to Mr. Kobayashi, Jr., the HECO Board determined that the service of his father as an ASB director did not impair Mr. Kobayashi,
Jr.s independence as a HECO director.
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | With respect to Mr. Watanabe, the HECO Board determined that the preferential rate mortgage loan that Mr. Watanabe has from ASB does not
impair Mr. Watanabes independence as a HECO director.

The Companys financial reporting policy for
income tax allocations is based upon a separate entity concept whereby each subsidiary provides income tax expense (or benefits) as if each were a separate taxable entity. The difference between the aggregate separate tax return income tax
provisions and the consolidated financial reporting income tax provision is charged or credited to HEIs separate tax provision.

Supplemental disclosures of noncash activities:

In 2009, 2008 and 2007, $1.3 million, $2.7 million and $2.3 million, respectively, of HEI advances to ASHI were converted to
equity in noncash transactions.

Under the HEI Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (DRIP), common stock dividends
reinvested by shareholders in HEI common stock in noncash transactions amounted to $17 million, $21 million and $21 million in 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively. HEI satisfied the requirements of the HEI DRIP and the Hawaiian Electric
Industries Retirement Savings Plan (HEIRS) (from April 16, 2009 through September 3, 2009) and the ASB 401(k) Plan (from May 7, 2009 through September 3, 2009) by acquiring for cash its common shares through open market purchases
rather than by issuing additional shares. Effective September 4, 2009, HEI resumed satisfying the requirements of the HEI DRIP, HEIRS and ASB 401(k) Plan through the issuance of additional shares of common stock.
