Exhibit 10.1

 

EXECUTIVE SEVERANCE PLAN

OF FIRST HAWAIIAN, INC.

 

(as amended and restated as of October 20,
2021)

 

	1.	Establishment, Restatement and Purpose.

 

1.1          Establishment
and Restatement of Plan. First Hawaiian, Inc. (the “Company” or “First Hawaiian”), hereby
amends and restates this retention compensation plan known as the Executive Severance Plan of First Hawaiian, Inc. (formerly known
as the Executive Change-in-Control Retention Plan of First Hawaiian Bank) (the “Plan”) effective as of October 20,
2021.

 

1.2          Purpose
of Plan. The purpose of the Plan is to advance the interests of the Company and its shareholders by ensuring that the Company will
have the continued employment, dedication, and focused attention of its executive officers notwithstanding the possibility, threat, or
occurrence of a Change in Control of the Company. The Plan is intended to provide the Company’s executives with a level of economic
security in the event of a Change in Control that protects the compensation and benefit expectations of the executives and is competitive
with other organizations. The Plan also is intended to provide a level of security to executives who are terminated without Cause, or
who resign with Good Reason, notwithstanding that such termination or resignation has occurred outside the applicable Change in Control
period.

 

		2.	Definitions.

 

Whenever used in the Plan, the following terms
shall have the meanings set forth below unless a different meaning is clearly required by the context.

 

2.1          “Annual

before any deductions, exclusions, deferrals, or contributions on a tax-qualified or non-tax-qualified basis under any plan or program
of the Company or a Subsidiary, and excluding bonuses and incentive compensation. If a Participant is employed for less than a complete
Fiscal Year, Base Salary for the Fiscal Year shall be the annualized gross base salary (subject to the adjustments described in the preceding

Section 2.2 in accordance with the personnel records and established practices and procedures of the Company.

fifteen (15) business days of such written demand from the Committee;

 

    1

     

    

 

(b)           Gross

(a)           during
any period of not more than 36 months, individuals who constitute the Board as of the beginning of the period (the “Incumbent
Directors”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided that any person becoming a director
subsequent to the beginning of such period, whose election or nomination for election was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of
the Incumbent Directors then on the Board (either by a specific vote or by approval of the proxy statement of First Hawaiian in which
such person is named as a nominee for director, without written objection to such nomination) will be an Incumbent Director; provided,
however, that no individual initially elected or nominated as a director of First Hawaiian as a result of an actual or publicly threatened
election contest with respect to directors or as a result of any other actual or publicly threatened solicitation of proxies by or on
behalf of any person other than the Board will be deemed to be an Incumbent Director;

 

(b)           any
“person” (as such term is defined in Section 3(a)(9) of the Exchange Act and as used in Sections
13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act), is or becomes a “beneficial owner” (as defined in Rule 13d-3
under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of First Hawaiian representing 50% or more of the combined voting
power of First Hawaiian’s then outstanding securities eligible to vote for the election of the Board (“Company Voting
Securities”); provided, however, that the event described in this paragraph (b) will not be deemed to be a Change in
Control by virtue of the ownership, or acquisition, of Company Voting Securities: (A) by the Company, (B) by any employee
benefit plan (or related trust) sponsored or maintained by the Company, (C) by any underwriter temporarily holding securities
pursuant to an offering of such securities, or (D) pursuant to a Non-Qualifying Transaction (as defined in paragraph
(c) of this definition);

 

    2

     

    

 

(c)           the
consummation of a merger, consolidation, statutory share exchange or similar form of corporate transaction involving First Hawaiian that
requires the approval of First Hawaiian’s stockholders, whether for such transaction or the issuance of securities in the transaction
(a “Business Combination”), unless immediately following such Business Combination: (A) more than 50% of the total
voting power of (x) the entity resulting from such Business Combination (the “Surviving Entity”), or (y) if
applicable, the ultimate parent corporation that directly or indirectly has beneficial ownership of at least 95% of the voting power,
is represented by Company Voting Securities that were outstanding immediately prior to such Business Combination (or, if applicable, is
represented by shares into which such Company Voting Securities were converted pursuant to such Business Combination), and such voting
power among the holders thereof is in substantially the same proportion as the voting power of such Company Voting Securities among the
holders thereof immediately prior to the Business Combination, (B) no person (other than any employee benefit plan (or related trust)
sponsored or maintained by the Surviving Entity or the parent), is or becomes the beneficial owner, directly or indirectly, of 50% or
more of the total voting power of the outstanding voting securities eligible to elect directors of the parent (or, if there is no parent,
the Surviving Entity) and (C) at least 50% of the members of the board of directors of the parent (or, if there is no parent, the
Surviving Entity) following the consummation of the Business Combination were Incumbent Directors at the time of the Board’s approval
of the execution of the initial agreement providing for such Business Combination (any Business Combination which satisfies all of the
criteria specified in (A), (B) and (C) of this paragraph (c) will be deemed to be a “Non-Qualifying Transaction”);
or

 

(d)           the
consummation of a sale of all or substantially all of First Hawaiian’s assets (other than to an affiliate of First Hawaiian); or

 

(e)           First
Hawaiian’s stockholders approve a plan of complete liquidation or dissolution of First Hawaiian.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Change in Control will not be
deemed to occur solely because any person acquires beneficial ownership of more than 50% of the Company Voting Securities as a
result of the acquisition of Company Voting Securities by the Company which reduces the number of Company Voting Securities
outstanding; provided that if after such acquisition by the Company such person becomes the beneficial owner of additional Company
Voting Securities that increases the percentage of outstanding Company Voting Securities beneficially owned by such person, a Change
in Control will then occur.

 

2.8          “CIC
Qualifying Termination” means within twenty-four (24) months following a Change in Control, (a) the Participant’s
employment is involuntarily terminated by the Company and its Subsidiaries without Cause, or (b) the Participant terminates employment
from the Company and its Subsidiaries for Good Reason. The twenty-four month period will be extended by one (1) additional month
if the thirty-day cure period in Section 2.19 is triggered in the twenty-third or twenty-fourth month following a Change in Control.

	3.	Participation.

 

3.1          Participation
Agreement. An executive officer of the Company or a Subsidiary shall become eligible to participate in the Plan upon the Committee’s
designation of the officer as a Participant in writing. The Participant’s “Effective Date of Participation” shall be
the date of the CEO or Committee’s designation of the officer as a Participant.

 

3.2          End
of Participation. A Participant shall cease to be a Participant and cease to be eligible for benefits under this Plan
(a) following a CIC Qualifying Termination or an Involuntary Termination and upon the receipt of all payments and benefits to
which such Participant was entitled under this Plan as a result of such CIC Qualifying Termination or Involuntary Termination, or
(b) upon an earlier Separation from Service that is not a CIC Qualifying Termination or an Involuntary Termination. If a
Participant enters into a separation agreement or employment agreement with the Company that designates a date prior to a Separation
from Service on which the Participant’s participation in this Plan shall cease, the separation agreement or employment
agreement shall control. Subject to any applicable separation or employment agreement, prior to a Participant’s Separation
from Service, the Committee may in good faith determine that a Participant has ceased to be in the class of executives eligible for
coverage under the Plan, in which case the Committee may terminate the Participant’s participation in the Plan effective upon
written notification to the Participant of such determination. However, notwithstanding the foregoing, a Participant’s
participation in the Plan may not be involuntarily terminated (except for Cause) (a) after a member of the Committee has actual
knowledge that a third party has taken steps reasonably calculated to effectuate a Change in Control (including, but not limited to,
the commencement of a tender offer for the voting stock of the Company or any of its affiliates or the circulation of a proxy to the
shareholders of the Company or any of its affiliates) and until the Committee determines in good faith that such third party has
fully abandoned or terminated its efforts to effectuate a Change in Control, or (b) within twenty-four (24) months after a
Change in Control. With respect to (b), the foregoing 24-month period shall be extended by one (1) additional month if the
thirty-day cure period in Section 2.19 is triggered in the twenty-third or twenty-fourth month following a Change in
Control.

 

		4.	Benefits.

 

4.1          CIC
Qualifying Termination Severance Benefits. Upon a CIC Qualifying Termination, the Company shall pay or provide the Participant the
following severance benefits, subject to the Participant’s execution and non-revocation of a Release as described in Section 4.5
of this Plan:

 

(a)           Cash
Severance.

 

i.            An
amount equal to two (2) times the Participant’s highest annual Base Salary earned at any time during the three (3) complete
Fiscal Years immediately preceding the Participant’s Date of Termination or, if shorter, during the Participant’s entire period
of employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries; plus

 

    6

     

    

 

ii.           An
amount equal to two (2) times the average of the Participant’s actual payment amounts under the Annual Incentive Plan for each
of the two (2) completed Fiscal Years immediately preceding the Fiscal Year in which the Participant’s Date of Termination
occurs.

 

Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.3 below,
the Company shall pay the benefits described in this Section 4.1(a) to the Participant in a lump sum within fifteen (15) days
following the date that the Release described in Section 4.5 below becomes effective and irrevocable pursuant to its terms; provided
that in no event shall such amounts be paid later than March 15 of the year following the year during which the CIC Qualifying Termination
occurs.

 

(b)           Health
Benefits. If the Participant timely elects to receive continuation coverage under the Company medical plan, group dental plan, vision
plan or any other successor group medical, dental or vision plan provided by the Company pursuant to Code section 4980B and ERISA sections
601—608 (collectively, “COBRA”), the Company will pay a subsidy toward the premium cost of continuation coverage
for the Participant and/or any “qualified beneficiary” (as defined under COBRA) equal to the amount of the subsidy paid by
the Company for group medical and dental coverage for the Participant and his or her dependents immediately before the Participant’s
Date of Termination. Such subsidy will be applied to coverage commencing on the date of the “qualifying event” (as defined
under COBRA) and continue through the end of the twelve (12) month period following the Participant’s Date of Termination or, if
earlier, until the Participant and/or qualified beneficiary lose eligibility for continuation coverage. Any period of subsidized continuation
coverage will not extend, but instead will be considered part of, the continuation coverage period to which the Participant and/or qualified
beneficiary are entitled under COBRA and the terms of the Health Plans.

 

(c)           Outplacement
Benefits. The Company shall reimburse the Participant for the reasonable expenses incurred by the Participant for outplacement including
transitional office support (“Outplacement Reimbursements”). The maximum amount of reimbursement for any Participant
shall not exceed $20,000. Expenses must be incurred within 24 months, and submitted for reimbursement within 36 months, after the Participant’s
Date of Termination. Such payments shall be made as soon as reasonably practicable after the Participant has provided evidence that such
expenses have been incurred, subject to Section 10.2 of this Plan.

 

    7

     

    

 

(d)           Parachute
Payments. In the event that it shall be determined that any payment or distribution to or for the benefit of the Participant
under this Plan or under any other plan, contract or agreement of the Company or any affiliate would, but for the effect of this
Section 4.3, be subject to the Excise Tax, then, at the election of the Participant, in the event that the after-tax value of
all Payments (as defined below) to the Participant (such after-tax value to reflect the deduction of the Excise Tax and all income
or other taxes on such Payments) would, in the aggregate, be less than the after-tax value to the Participant of the Safe Harbor
Amount (as defined below), (1) the cash portions of the Payments payable to the Participant under this Plan shall be reduced,
in the order in which they are due to be paid, until the Parachute Value (as defined below) of all Payments paid to the Participant,
in the aggregate, equals the Safe Harbor Amount, and (2) if the reduction of the cash portions of the Payments, payable under
this Plan, to zero would not be sufficient to reduce the Parachute Value of all Payments to the Safe Harbor Amount, then any cash
portions of the Payments payable to the Participant under any other plans shall be reduced, in the order in which they are due to be
paid, until the Parachute Value of all Payments paid to the Participant, in the aggregate, equals the Safe Harbor Amount, and
(3) if the reduction of all cash portions of the Payments, payable pursuant to this Plan and otherwise, to zero would not be
sufficient to reduce the Parachute Value of all Payments to the Safe Harbor Amount, then non-cash portions of the Payments shall be
reduced, in the order in which they are due to be paid, until the Parachute Value of all Payments paid to the Participant, in the
aggregate, equals the Safe Harbor Amount. As used herein, (x) “Payment” shall mean any payment or
distribution in the nature of compensation (constituting a parachute payment within the meaning of Code section 280G(b)(2)) to or
for the benefit of the Participant, whether paid or payable pursuant to this Plan or otherwise, (y) “Safe Harbor
Amount” shall mean 2.99 times the Participant’s “base amount,” within the meaning of Code section
280G(b)(3), and (z) “Parachute Value” of a Payment shall mean the present value as of the date of the Change
in Control (for purposes of Code section 280G) of the portion of such Payment that constitutes a “parachute payment”
under Code section 280G(b)(2) for purposes of determining whether and to what extent the Excise Tax will apply to such Payment.
All calculations under this section shall be made reasonably by the Company and the Company’s outside auditor or other
consultant selected by the Company at the Company’s expense. Any reductions of Payments required under this Section 4.3
shall be made in a manner that complies with Code section 409A.

 

4.2            Involuntary
Termination Severance Benefits. Upon an Involuntary Termination, the Company shall pay or provide the Participant the following severance
benefits, subject to the Participant’s execution and non-revocation of a Release as described in Section 4.5 of this Plan:

 

(a)            Cash
Severance.

 

i.            An
amount equal to one (1) times the Participant’s highest annual Base Salary earned at any time during the three (3) complete
Fiscal Years immediately preceding the Participant’s Separation from Service or, if shorter, during the Participant’s entire
period of employment with the Company and its Subsidiaries; plus

 

ii.           An
amount equal to one (1) times the average of the Participant’s actual payment amounts under the Annual Incentive Plan for each
of the two (2) completed Fiscal Years immediately preceding the Fiscal Year in which the Participant’s Separation from Service
occurs.

 

    8

     

    

 

Except as otherwise provided in Section 4.3 below,
the Company shall pay the benefits described in this Section 4.2(a) to the Participant in a lump sum within fifteen (15) days
following the date that the Release described in Section 4.5 below becomes effective and irrevocable pursuant to its terms; provided
that in no event shall such amounts be paid later than March 15 of the year following the year during which the Involuntary Termination
occurs.

 

4.3          Time
and Form of Payment. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Participant is a Specified Employee as of the date of his Separation
from Service, no amounts or benefits payable under this Section 4 shall be paid before the first day of the seventh (7th) month following
the Participant’s Separation from Service (or, if earlier, the date of the Participant’s death) if and to the extent that
such payment or benefit constitutes deferred compensation (or may be nonqualified deferred compensation) under Code section 409A and such
payment delay is required to comply with the requirements of Code section 409A. Any severance compensation payment delayed by reason of
the prior sentence shall be paid out or provided in a single lump sum on the first day following the end of such required deferral period
in order to catch up to the original payment schedule. Such lump sum payment shall include interest over the required deferral period,
calculated at the three (3)-month Treasury Bill spot rate, determined as of the Participant’s Separation from Service.

 

4.4          Incentive
Compensation Plans. Any award granted to a Participant under any cash or equity incentive compensation plan shall be governed by the
provisions of those plans.

 

4.5          Release.
A Participant’s receipt of payments and benefits under this Section 4 will be conditioned on the Participant’s execution
of a Release of claims in the form used by the Company immediately prior to the Date of Termination (a “Release”),
which re-affirms Participant’s obligations to observe the terms of the restrictive covenants set forth under Section 9 below,
and which shall be provided to the Participant no later than five (5) days after the Date of Termination and must be executed by
the Participant, become effective and not be revoked by the Participant by the fifty-eighth (58th) day following the Date of
Termination.

 

	5.	Termination for Cause.

 

Nothing in this Plan shall be construed to
prevent the Company or its Subsidiaries from terminating a Participant’s employment for any reason or for no reason. However,
if the Company or a Subsidiary (including any successor to the Company or a Subsidiary) wishes to terminate a Participant’s
employment for Cause after a Change in Control, the Company (or any successor to the Company) must give the Participant a written
notice (“Notice of Termination”) that identifies the specific clause in the definition of Cause on which the
termination is based and provides a reasonably detailed description of the facts that permit termination under that clause. If the
Company (or any successor to the Company) terminates a Participant’s employment without providing a Notice of Termination, the
termination shall be deemed to be a termination without Cause. If the Company or a Subsidiary terminates a Participant for Cause,
the Participant shall not be entitled to the benefits described in Section 4.

 

	6.	Other Benefits.

 

Neither the provisions of this Plan nor the benefits
provided hereunder shall reduce any amounts otherwise payable to the Participant under any other benefit, incentive, retirement, or equity
compensation plan, or any employment agreement, or other plan or arrangement of the Company or its Subsidiaries, with the exception that
a Participant shall not receive payments under any other group severance plan or program sponsored by the Company or its Subsidiaries
if receiving a payment under this Executive Change-in-Control Retention Plan.

 

    9

     

    

 

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, except as otherwise
expressly provided pursuant to this Plan, this Plan shall be construed and administered in a manner which avoids duplication of compensation
and benefits which may be provided under any other benefit, incentive, retirement, or equity compensation plan, or any employment agreement,
or other plan or arrangement of the Company or its Subsidiaries or under any statute, rule or regulation. In the event a Participant
is covered by any other benefit, incentive, retirement, or equity compensation plan, or any employment agreement, or other plan or arrangement
of the Company or its Subsidiaries, in effect as of his or her Date of Termination, that may duplicate the payments and benefits provided
for in this Plan, the Committee is specifically empowered to reduce or eliminate the duplicative benefits provided for under this Plan
or under the other plan, program, policy, employment agreement or other arrangement. In the event a Participant is covered by any pre-existing
employment agreement or other arrangement of the Company or its Subsidiaries in effect as of the effective date of this Plan, that provides
for severance payments that differ in timing or form of payment from those the Participant would otherwise be entitled to under this
Plan, the severance payments provided to such Participant pursuant to this Plan will be reformed if and to the extent necessary to comply
with Code section 409A.

 

		7.	Benefits in the Event of Death.

 

In the event of the death of the Participant after
becoming entitled to benefits under this Plan, any benefits that would have been paid to the Participant shall be paid to the Participant’s
designated beneficiary(ies). A Participant may make or change such designation at any time. In the event of the death of a Participant
prior to becoming entitled to benefits under this Plan, no benefits shall be paid to the Participant’s beneficiary(ies), estate,
or any other person on behalf of the Participant. 

 

		8.	Tax Withholding, No Gross-ups.

 

The payment of any amount under this Plan shall
be subject to such income tax, employment tax and other withholding as the Company determines is required under applicable law. The Participant
is responsible for all taxes that may become payable in connection with Plan participation. No supplemental “gross up” payments
shall be made under this Plan, other than such reimbursements as may be described herein, with the intent of relieving a Participant
from any taxes applicable to Plan benefits. 

 

		9.	Restrictive Covenants.

 

In consideration of the benefits of participation
in this Plan, the Participant agrees that, while the Participant is employed by the Company or a Subsidiary and for twelve (12) months
following the Participant’s Date of Termination, the Participant shall be bound by the restrictions in this Section 9.

 

    10

     

    

 

9.1            Nondisclosure.
Unless required or otherwise permitted by law, the Participant shall not disclose to others or use for the benefit of any person or entity
other than the Company and its Subsidiaries any Confidential Information or any summary or derivative of that information.

 

9.2            Nondisparagement.
The Participant shall not publicly denigrate or in any manner undertake to publicly discredit the Company or its Subsidiaries or any person
or operation associated with the Company or its Subsidiaries.

 

9.3            Noncompetition.
The Participant shall not, either directly or indirectly, engage in or invest in, own, manage, operate, finance, control, be employed
by, work as a consultant or contractor for, or otherwise be associated with any Financial Institution doing business within the markets
of the Company; provided, however, that the Participant may purchase or otherwise acquire up to one percent (1%) of any class of
securities of any such Financial Institution (but without otherwise participating in the activities of such enterprise) if such securities
are listed on any national or regional securities exchange or have been registered under section 12(g) of the Exchange Act. The
term “Financial Institution” means any commercial bank, savings institution, securities brokerage, mortgage company, insurance
broker or other company or organization that competes with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. 

 

9.4            Nonsolicitation
of Business. The Participant shall not solicit business of the same or similar type being carried on by the Company or its Subsidiaries
from any company, person, or entity known by the Participant to be a customer of the Company or its Subsidiaries, whether or not the
Participant had personal contact with such company, person or entity by reason of the Participant’s employment with the Company
or a Subsidiary. 

 

9.5            Nonsolicitation
of Employees. The Participant shall not, whether for the Participant’s own account or the account of any other person, solicit
(other than general, non-targeted solicitation), employ, or otherwise engage as an employee, independent contractor, or otherwise, any
person who is an employee of the Company or its Subsidiaries or in any manner induce or attempt to induce any employee of the Company
or its Subsidiaries to terminate his or her employment. 

 

		10.	Administration.

 

10.1         Administrative
Authority. The Committee shall have the responsibility and authority to administer the Plan. The Committee shall administer the
Plan in accordance with the Committee’s charter and the governance rules and procedures applicable to the Committee. The
Committee shall have plenary authority, in its complete and sole discretion, to: (a) construe and interpret the Plan and its
terms and resolve any ambiguities herein; (b) determine the amount and recipient of any payment hereunder;
(c) prescribe, amend, and rescind rules and regulations with respect to Plan administration or interpretation;
(d) make all other determinations and do all other things necessary or appropriate for the administration of the Plan; and
(e) have all other powers granted to it in other sections of this Plan or as otherwise necessary or appropriate to carry out
its responsibilities hereunder. The CEO may exercise all of the power and authorities of the Committee with respect to the
administration of the Plan as set forth herein, including, but not limited to, the authority to identify Participants in the Plan,
but excluding any power or authority relating to the CEO’s participation in the Plan. The finding, decision, determination or
action of the Committee or CEO with respect to any question arising out of or in connection with the administration, interpretation
and application of the Plan and the rules and regulations promulgated hereunder shall be final and conclusive and binding upon
any and all persons having any interest in the Plan, subject only to the Plan’s claims rules. No findings, decisions or
determinations of any kind made by the Committee or CEO shall be disturbed by a court of law or otherwise unless there is a judicial
finding that the Committee or CEO has acted in an arbitrary and capricious manner.

 

    11

     

    

  

10.2          Code
section 409A Compliance. The Company intends the Plan to meet the requirements of Code section 409A (including exemptions thereto),
the regulations promulgated thereunder and any additional regulatory guidance provided thereunder by the Treasury Department, and the
Committee shall interpret and construe the terms of this Plan in a manner consistent with such intent. Notwithstanding anything in the
Plan to the contrary, any Plan provision that does not meet the requirements of Code section 409A or applicable regulatory guidance thereunder
shall be reformed so as to satisfy such requirements if such reformation may be accomplished without substantially adversely affecting
a Participant’s benefits, and if in the good faith determination of the Committee such result cannot be achieved, shall be treated
as void. Moreover, for purposes of applying the provisions of Code section 409A to this Plan, each separately identified amount to which
a Participant is entitled under this Plan shall be treated as a separate payment. 

 

In addition, to the extent permissible under Code section 409A, any
series of installment payments under this Plan shall be treated as a right to a series of separate payments. To the extent that any expense
reimbursements or the provision of any in-kind benefits under the Plan are determined to be subject to Code section 409A (including any
exemptions thereto), the amount of any such expenses eligible for reimbursement or the provision of any in-kind benefit in one Fiscal
Year shall not affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement or in-kind benefits to be provided in any other Fiscal Year (except for
any aggregate limitation applicable to medical expenses), in no event shall any expenses be reimbursed after the last day of the Fiscal
Year following the Fiscal Year in which the Participant incurred such expenses, and in no event shall any right to reimbursement or the
provision of any in-kind benefit be subject to liquidation or exchange for another benefit. Finally, and notwithstanding anything in
the Plan to the contrary, any Plan provision that does not meet the requirements of any future federal or state statute or applicable
regulatory guidance thereunder shall be reformed so as to satisfy such requirements if such reformation may be accomplished without substantially
adversely affecting a Participant’s benefits, and if in the good faith determination of the Committee such result cannot be achieved,
shall be treated as void. 

 

		11.	Claims Procedures.

 

Any individual (a “Claimant”) who
has not received benefits under the Plan that he or she believes should be paid may make a claim for such benefits as follows: 

 

11.1          Written
Claim. The Claimant shall initiate a claim by submitting to the Company a written claim for the benefits. 

 

11.2          Timing
of Company Response. The Committee shall respond to the Claimant within ninety (90) days after receiving the claim. If the Committee
determines that special circumstances require additional time for processing the claim, the Committee may extend the response period by
an additional ninety (90) days by notifying the Claimant in writing, prior to the end of the initial 90-day period, that an additional
period is required. The notice of extension must set forth the special circumstances and the date by which the Committee expects to render
its decision.

 

    12

     

    

 

11.3            Notice
of Decision. If the Committee denies part or all of the claim, the Committee shall notify the Claimant in writing of such denial.
The Committee shall write the notification in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant. The notification shall set forth:
(a) the specific reasons for the denial; (b) a reference to the specific provisions of the Plan on which the denial is
based; (c) a description of any additional information or material necessary for the Claimant to perfect the claim and an explanation
of why it is needed; (d) an explanation of the Plan’s review procedures and the time limits applicable to such procedures;
and (e) a statement of the Claimant’s right to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse
benefit determination on review. 

 

11.4            Review
Procedure. If the Committee denies part or all of the claim, the Claimant shall have the opportunity for a full and fair review by
the Committee of the denial. To initiate the review, the Claimant, within sixty (60) days after receiving the Committee’s notice
of denial, must file with the Committee a written request for review. The Claimant shall then have the opportunity to submit written
comments, documents, records and other information relating to the claim. The Committee shall also provide the Claimant, upon request
and free of charge, reasonable access to, and copies of, all documents, records, and other information relevant (as defined in applicable
ERISA regulations) to the Claimant’s claim for benefits. In considering the claim on review, the Committee shall take into account
all materials and information the Claimant submits relating to the claim, without regard to whether such information was submitted or
considered in the initial benefit determination. 

 

11.5            Committee
Response. The Committee shall respond in writing to the Claimant within sixty (60) days after receiving the request for review. If
the Committee determines that special circumstances require additional time for processing the claim, the Committee may extend the response
period by an additional sixty (60) days by notifying the Claimant in writing, prior to the end of the initial 60-day period, that an
additional period is required. The notice of extension must set forth the special circumstances and the date by which the Committee expects
to render its decision. The Committee shall notify the Claimant in writing of its decision on review. The Committee shall write the notification
in a manner calculated to be understood by the Claimant. The notification shall set forth: (a) the specific reasons for the denial;
(b) a reference to the specific provisions of the Plan on which the denial is based; (c) a statement that the Claimant
is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records, and other information
relevant (as defined in applicable ERISA regulations) to the Claimant’s claim for benefits; and (d) a statement of the
Claimant’s right to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of ERISA after exhausting all administrative claims and review
procedures in this Section 11. 

 

		12.	Amendment or Termination.

 

The Committee may amend or terminate the Plan at
any time and in any manner without the consent of any Participant or other affected individual. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Plan
may not be terminated or amended in any manner that adversely affects the benefits payable (or to be paid) to a Participant (i) if
the Participant’s Date of Termination precedes the date on which the amendment or termination was adopted or became effective (except
as otherwise provided in Section 10.2) or (ii) for a period of two (2) years following a Change in Control without the
written consent of the affected Employee (except as otherwise provided in Section 10.2). In the event that any member of the Committee
has actual knowledge that a third party has taken steps reasonably calculated to effectuate a Change in Control (including, but not limited
to, the commencement of a tender offer for the voting stock of the Company or any of its affiliates or the circulation of a proxy to the
shareholders of the Company of any of its affiliates), then this Plan and its terms shall remain irrevocably in effect, without amendment,
until the Committee determines in good faith that such third party has fully abandoned or terminated its effort to effectuate a Change
in Control.

 

    13

     

    

  

		13.	Successors.

 

This Plan shall bind any successor of the Company,
its assets or its businesses (whether direct or indirect), by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise, to the same extent and in
the same manner as would the Company be obligated under this Plan if no succession had taken place. In the case of any transaction in
which a successor would not by the foregoing provision or operation of law be bound by this Plan, the Company or an affiliate thereof
shall require such successor expressly and unconditionally to assume and agree to perform the Company’s obligations under this
Plan to the same extent and in the same manner as would the Company be required to perform if no such succession had taken place. 

 

		14.	Third Party Beneficiaries.

 

This Plan shall inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by the Participant’s personal or legal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, heirs, and assigns. 

 

		15.	Indemnification.

 

In addition to such other rights of indemnification
as they may have as members of the Board, the Company shall indemnify the members of the Board and the Committee as well as the CEO against
all reasonable expenses, including attorneys’ fees, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense of any action,
suit, or proceeding, or in connection with any appeal therein, to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action or
failure to act under or in connection with the Plan, and against all amounts reasonably paid by them in settlement thereof or paid by
them in satisfaction of a judgment in any such action, suit, or proceeding, if such members acted in good faith and in a manner that
they believed to be in, and not opposed to, the best interests of the Company.

 

		16.	Incapacity.

 

If the Committee finds that any person to whom
a benefit is payable under this Plan is legally, physically, or mentally incapable of personally receiving and receipting for such payment,
the Committee may direct that such benefit be paid to any person, persons, or institutions who have custody of such person, or are providing
necessities of life (including, without limitation, food, shelter, clothing, medical, or custodial care) to such person, to the extent
deemed appropriate by the Committee. Any such payment shall constitute a full discharge of the liability of the Company to the extent
thereof.

 

    14

     

    

 

		17.	Funding.

 

The amounts payable under this Plan shall be paid
in cash from the general assets of the Company, and a Participant shall have no right, title, or interest in or to investments, if any,
which the Company may make to aid it in meeting its obligations under this Plan. Title to and beneficial ownership of any such investments
shall at all times remain in the Company. Nothing contained in this Plan, and no action taken pursuant to its provisions, shall create
or be construed to create a trust of any kind. To the extent that any person acquires a right to receive a payment under this Plan, such
right shall be no greater than the right of an unsecured creditor. 

 

		18.	FDIC Limitations.

 

If any payment or benefit under this Plan would
otherwise be a golden parachute payment within the meaning of section 18(k) of the Federal Deposit Insurance Act (a “Golden
Parachute Payment”) that is prohibited by applicable law, then the payments and benefits will be reduced to the greatest amount
that can be paid to the Participant without there being a prohibited Golden Parachute Payment. To the extent reasonably practicable,
the Company shall seek the approval of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”), the State of Hawaii Department
of Commerce and Consumer Affairs—Division of Financial Institutions and any other bank regulatory body, as necessary, to make any
payment to the Participant that would otherwise constitute a Golden Parachute Payment.

 

		19.	Nonassignment.

 

The interests of a Participant hereunder may not
be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, or hypothecated. No Participant may borrow against his/her interest in the Plan.

 

		20.	Enforceability and Controlling Law.

 

If any provision of this Plan is held by a court
of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall continue in full force and effect. Except to
the extent preempted by ERISA, the provisions of this Plan shall be construed, administered, and enforced according to the laws of the
State of Hawaii without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles.

 

    15EX-4.9

 Exhibit 4.9  

DESCRIPTION OF CAPITAL STOCK 

OF JABIL INC. 
 Under our
certificate of incorporation, as amended (the “charter”), the total number of shares of all classes of stock which we are authorized to issue is 510,000,000, consisting of two classes: 500,000,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value
per share (“common stock”), and 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $0.001 par value per share (“preferred stock”). 

The following is a description of some of the terms of our common stock and preferred stock, our charter, our amended and restated bylaws (the
“bylaws”) and certain provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”). The following description is not complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by reference to, our charter and bylaws, which have
been incorporated by reference as exhibits to this Form 10-K. Our charter and bylaws may be obtained as described below under the heading “Where You Can Find More Information.” You should read our
charter and bylaws and the applicable provisions of the DGCL for a complete description of the provisions described in this section and for other provisions that may be important to you. 

Common Stock 
 Voting Rights. Each
share of our common stock is entitled to one vote per share on all matters submitted to a vote of our stockholders. Our charter does not entitle the holders of our common stock to cumulative voting rights with respect to the election of our
directors. Unless otherwise provided by applicable law, the rules or regulations of any applicable stock exchange, or our charter or bylaws, every matter to be voted on by our stockholders, other than the election of directors, shall be decided by
the affirmative vote of the majority of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the applicable meeting and actually cast on such subject matter at the applicable meeting. 

Election of Directors. Each director shall hold office until the next annual meeting of stockholders following his or her election and
until a successor has been elected and qualified, or until his or her earlier death, resignation or removal. Pursuant to our bylaws and subject to the rights of any series of our preferred stock that may be outstanding, each director to be elected
by stockholders shall be elected by the vote of the majority of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and actually cast with respect to the director; provided, however, that if our board of directors
determines that the election is contested then directors shall be elected by a plurality of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. As provided in our
bylaws, a “majority of the votes of the shares present in person or represented by proxy at the meeting and actually cast” shall mean that the number of shares voted “for” a director’s election exceeds 50% of the number of
votes actually cast with respect to that director’s election. Votes actually cast shall include votes where the authority to cast a vote for the director’s election is explicitly withheld and exclude abstentions with respect to that
director’s election. If a nominee for director who is an incumbent director is not elected and no successor has been elected at such meeting, the director shall promptly tender his or her conditional resignation following certification of the
stockholder vote, and our nominating and corporate governance committee shall consider such incumbent director’s resignation and recommend to the board of directors whether to accept or reject such resignation. The nominating and corporate
governance committee and the board of directors may consider any factors they deem relevant in deciding whether to accept a director’s resignation. 

 Dividends and Distributions. Subject to any preferential rights of any outstanding
shares of our preferred stock to receive dividends before any dividends may be paid on our common stock, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to share ratably in any dividends payable on our common stock that may be declared by our board
of directors out of funds legally available for the payment of dividends. Upon our voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up, the holders of our common stock will be entitled to share
ratably in any of our assets remaining for distribution to our common stockholders after payment of or provision for our debts and other liabilities and subject to any preferential rights of any outstanding shares of our preferred stock to receive
distributions in the event of our liquidation, dissolution or winding-up before distributions are made to holders of our common stock. 

Preemptive Rights, Redemption and Conversion. Our common stock is not entitled to preemptive rights and holders of common stock have no
rights to redeem their common stock or convert their common stock into any other securities. 
 Preferred Stock 

Under our charter, the board of directors is authorized, without vote or other action by our stockholders, to cause the issuance of up to
10,000,000 shares of our preferred stock in one or more series from time to time. Our board of directors is further authorized to determine or alter the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued
series of preferred stock and to fix the number of shares of any series of preferred stock and the designation of any such series of preferred stock. Pursuant to any restrictions stated in any resolution or resolutions of the board of directors
originally fixing the number of shares constituting any series of preferred stock, the board of directors may increase or decrease the number of shares of any series subsequent to the issue of shares of that series. 

Anti-Takeover Provisions of Delaware Law 

We are subject to Section 203 of the DGCL (“Section 203”). In general, Section 203 prohibits a publicly held Delaware
corporation from engaging in “business combination” transactions with any “interested stockholder” for a period of three years following the time that the stockholder became an interested stockholder, unless: 

 

			
	 •  prior to the time the stockholder became an interested
stockholder, the corporation’s board of directors approved either the applicable business combination or the transaction which resulted in the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder;

  

			
	 •  upon consummation of the transaction which resulted in the
stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owned at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation outstanding at the time the transaction commenced, excluding for purposes of determining the voting stock
outstanding (but not the voting stock owned by the interested stockholder) shares owned by directors who are also officers of the corporation and shares owned by employee stock plans in which the employee participants do not have the right to
determine confidentially whether shares held subject to the plan will be tendered in a tender or exchange offer; or

  

			
	 •  at or subsequent to the time that the stockholder became an
interested stockholder, the business combination is approved by the corporation’s board of directors and authorized at an annual or special meeting of stockholders by the affirmative vote of at least
66-2/3% of the outstanding voting stock which is not owned by the interested stockholder.

 A “business combination” is defined to include, among other things and in general
and subject to exceptions, a merger of the corporation with the interested stockholder; a sale of 10% or more of the market value of the corporation’s consolidated assets to the interested stockholder; certain transactions that result in the
issuance of the corporation’s stock to the interested stockholder; a transaction that has the effect of increasing the proportionate share of the corporation’s stock owned by the interested stockholder; and any receipt by the interested
stockholder of loans, guarantees or other financial benefits provided by the corporation. An “interested stockholder” is defined to include, in general and subject to exceptions, a person that (1) owns 15% or more of the outstanding
voting stock of the corporation or (2) is an “affiliate” or “associate” (as defined in Section 203) of the corporation and was the owner of 15% or more of the corporation’s outstanding voting stock at any time
within the prior three year period. 
 A Delaware corporation may opt out of Section 203 with an express provision in its original
certificate of incorporation or by an amendment to its certificate of incorporation or bylaws expressly electing not to be governed by Section 203 and approved by a majority of its outstanding voting shares. We have not opted out of
Section 203. As a result, Section 203 could delay, deter or prevent a merger, change of control or other takeover of the Company that our stockholders might consider to be in their best interests, including transactions that might result
in a premium being paid over the market price of our common stock, and may also adversely affect the market price of our common stock and any other securities that we may issue. 

Anti-Takeover Provisions of Our Charter and Bylaws 

Certain provisions of our charter and bylaws could have the effect of delaying, deterring or preventing another party from acquiring or seeking
to acquire control of the Company. For example, our charter and bylaws include anti-takeover provisions that: 
  

			
	 •  authorize our board of directors, without the vote of or other
action by our stockholders, to cause the issuance of preferred stock in one or more series from time to time and, with respect to each series, to establish the number of shares constituting that series and to fix the rights and other terms of that
series, which may include, without limitation, voting rights, dividend rights and preferences, liquidation rights and preferences and rights to convert the preferred stock of such series into other securities;

  

			
	 •  provide that vacancies on our board of directors or newly
created directorships resulting from an increase in the number of our authorized directors may be filled only by a majority of directors then in office, even if such directors then in office constitute less than a quorum;

  

			
	 •  provide that the number of directors constituting our board of
directors shall be fixed from time to time and determined by our board of directors;

  

			
	 •  establish advance notice procedures and other requirements for
stockholders to submit nominations of candidates for election to our board of directors and other proposals to be brought before a stockholders meeting;

			
	 •  provide that, subject to applicable law and our charter, special
meetings of stockholders for any proper purpose may be called only by the board of directors, or by the chairman of the board, or by the chief executive officer, or by one or more stockholders holding shares in the aggregate entitled to cast not
less than a majority of the votes at that meeting, and stockholders may not take action by written consent; and

  

			
	 •  do not give the holders of our common stock cumulative voting
rights with respect to the election of directors, which means that the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares of common stock can elect all directors standing for election by our common stockholders.

 The provisions described above are intended to discourage certain types of coercive takeover practices and
inadequate takeover bids and to encourage anyone seeking to acquire control of us to negotiate first with our board of directors. However, these provisions may also delay, deter or prevent a merger, change of control or other takeover of our Company
that our stockholders might consider to be in their best interests, including transactions that might result in a premium being paid over the market price of our common stock, and may also adversely affect the market price of our common stock and
any other securities that we may issue. These provisions may also have the effect of preventing changes in our management. 
 Limitation on Liability of
Directors; Indemnification of Directors and Officers 
 Our charter provides that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, none of our
directors shall be personally liable for monetary damages to the Company or its stockholders for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, and provides that we will indemnify our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL. We
believe that these limitations of liability and indemnification provisions are useful to attract and retain qualified directors and officers.
