Item 8.01. Other Events.

 

On April 29, 2021, Peter S. Ho, Chairman, CEO and President, Mary E. Sellers, Vice Chair and Chief Risk Officer, and Dean Y. Shigemura, Vice Chair and Chief Financial Officer (collectively, the “Grantees”), of the Company, each adopted a pre-arranged stock trading plan (the “10b5-1 Plans”) designed to comply with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, which permits persons to enter into a pre-arranged plan for buying or selling Company stock at a time when such person is not in possession of material, nonpublic information about the Company.  The 10b5-1 Plans, executed during the Company’s current open trading window period and in compliance with the Company’s insider trading policy, allow for the exercise and sale of the following vested stock options, half of which will expire in November 2021 and the other half in January 2022, if not exercised prior to their expiration dates:

 

Grantee

 

Option Shares

 

Peter S. Ho

 

 

46,666

 

Mary E. Sellers

 

 

30,000

 

Dean Y. Shigemura

 

 

23,333

 

 

Shares may be sold under the 10b5-1 Plans on the open market at prevailing market prices from time to time prior to the expiration of these stock option awards. The Grantees entered into the 10b5-1 Plans as a part of their personal long-term financial and tax planning strategies and to provide for an orderly liquidation of their stock options prior to their expiration.

 

The Grantees will continue to be subject to the Company’s executive stock ownership guidelines and the sales contemplated by the 10b5-1 Plans will not reduce their stock ownership below the level required by the guidelines.  Except as may be required by law, the Company does not undertake to report on specific Rule 10b5-1 pre-planned stock trading plans of Company officers or directors, nor to report modifications or terminations of the aforementioned 10b5-1 Plans or the plans of any other individual.  The transactions under the 10b5-1 Plans will be disclosed publicly through Form 4 and/or Form 144 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission to the extent applicable.
