PROXY STATEMENT


GENERAL INFORMATION
 
    The Board of Directors of Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. (“A&B” or the “Company”) is soliciting proxies for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on April 29, 2010 and at any adjournment or postponement of the meeting (the “Annual Meeting”).
 
    In accordance with rules and regulations adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), instead of mailing a printed copy of our proxy materials to each stockholder of record, we are furnishing proxy materials on the Internet.  You will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials, unless you request it.  If you would prefer to receive printed proxy materials, please follow the instructions for requesting such materials as contained in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. This process is designed to expedite stockholders' receipt of proxy materials, lower the cost of the Annual Meeting and help conserve natural resources.
 
    On or around March 11, 2010, we mailed to our stockholders (other than to certain street name shareholders or those who previously requested electronic or paper delivery) a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, which contains instructions as to how you may access and review on the Internet all of our proxy materials, including this Proxy Statement and our 2009 Annual Report to Shareholders.  The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials also instructs you as to how you may vote your proxy on the Internet.
 
    Only shareholders of record at the close of business on February 19, 2010 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. On that date, there were 41,071,571 shares of common stock outstanding, without par value, each of which is entitled to one vote. Provided a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of A&B common stock represented at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, will be necessary for the election of directors, the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm and the approval of the amended and restated Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. 2007 Incentive Compensation Plan (“2007 Plan”). Abstentions and broker non-votes will be included for purposes of determining a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote to withhold authority in the election of directors, and abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote against the ratification of the independent registered public accounting firm and against the approval of the 2007 Plan.
 
    Officers, employees and directors of A&B and its subsidiaries may solicit proxies by telephone or by other appropriate means. Arrangements also will be made with brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries that are record holders of A&B’s common stock to forward proxy soliciting material to the beneficial owners of the stock, and A&B will reimburse those record holders for their reasonable expenses. A&B has retained the firm of Morrow & Co., Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies, at a cost of $11,000 plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.
 
    A proxy may be revoked at any time prior to its exercise by a written revocation bearing a later date than the proxy and filed with the Corporate Secretary of A&B, by submission of a later-dated proxy or subsequent Internet or telephonic proxy, or by voting in person at the Annual Meeting.
   
    This Proxy Statement and our 2009 Annual Report to Shareholders have been made available to shareholders on the Internet on or about March 11, 2010.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Directors will be elected at the Annual Meeting to serve until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. There is no cumulative voting in the election of directors.

The Bylaws of A&B provide that no person (other than a person nominated by or on behalf of the Board) will be eligible to be elected a director at an annual meeting of shareholders unless a written shareholder’s notice in proper form that the person’s name be placed in nomination is received by the Chairman of the Board, the President, or the Corporate Secretary of A&B not less than 120 days nor more than 150 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting. If the annual meeting is not called for a date which is within 25 days of the anniversary date of the preceding annual meeting, a shareholder’s notice must be given not later than 10 days after the date on which notice of the annual meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting was made, whichever occurs first. To be in proper written form, a shareholder’s notice must include specified information about each nominee and the shareholder making the nomination. The notice also must be accompanied by a written consent of each proposed nominee to being named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected.

Separate procedures have been established for shareholders to submit director candidates for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. These procedures are described below under the subsection “Nominating Committee Processes.”

Director Independence. The Board has reviewed each of its current directors and has determined that all such persons, with the exception of Mr. Kuriyama, who is an executive officer of A&B, and Mr. Doane, who is a former executive officer of A&B, are independent under New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules. In making its independence determinations, the Board considered the following transactions, relationships or arrangements not otherwise disclosed elsewhere in this Proxy Statement:  Dr. Chun -- a leasing relationship and a property development relationship between a joint venture in which a subsidiary of A&B is a member and Kamehameha Schools, an entity with which Dr. Chun is employed, and A&B’s banking relationships with Bank of Hawaii, an entity of which Dr. Chun is a director; Mr. Dods – A&B’s banking relationships with First Hawaiian Bank, an entity of which Mr. Dods is a director; and Mr. Watanabe – A&B’s banking relationships with American Savings Bank, an entity of which Mr. Watanabe is a director, and which is a subsidiary of HEI, an entity of which Mr. Watanabe is Non-Executive Chairman of the Board, and electricity sales by a division of A&B to a subsidiary of HEI.

Board Leadership Structure. The Board currently has a separate Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer.  In separating these two positions, the Board recognizes that an independent Chairman can be beneficial in establishing a system of corporate checks and balances, and that managing the board can be a time-intensive responsibility.  The Board has determined that its leadership structure is appropriate at this point for A&B as it transitions to a new CEO in 2010.

The Board’s Role in Risk Oversight.  Like other companies, A&B faces a variety of risks, including operational, liquidity and credit risks.  The Board has oversight over the risk management process, which it administers in part through the Audit Committee.  One of the Audit Committee’s responsibilities involves discussing policies regarding risk assessment and risk management.  Risk oversight plays a role in all major board decisions and the evaluation of risk is a key part of the decision-making process.  For example, the identification of risks and the development of sensitivity analyses are key requirements for capital requests that are presented to the Board for consideration.

A&B reviews risk on an ongoing basis.  This risk management process occurs throughout all levels of the organization, but also is facilitated through a formal process in which a risk management working group and a risk management steering Committee (made up of senior management from throughout the Company) meet regularly to identify and address significant risks.  The fundamental tenets of risk management have been in place at A&B for decades and are reflected in the Company’s compliance, auditing and risk management functions, and a risk-based approach to strategic and operating decision-making.  At least annually, management reviews its progress on risk management activities with the Audit Committee, and the Chair of the Audit Committee provides updates to the full board.  In December 2009, the risk committee submitted a written report and made a presentation to the full A&B Board of Directors.  The board believes that the board’s leadership structure at present is conducive to the risk oversight process.

Board of Directors and Committees of the Board. The Board of Directors held thirteen meetings during 2009. In conjunction with four of these meetings, the non-management directors of A&B met in formally-scheduled executive sessions, led by the Lead Independent Director. In 2009, all directors were present for at least 75 percent of the meetings of the A&B Board of Directors and Committees of the Board on which they serve, and eight of the nine directors were present at 100 percent of such meetings. The Board of Directors has an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.  Each of the Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees is governed by a charter, copies of which are available on the corporate governance page of A&B’s corporate website at www.alexanderbaldwin.com.

Audit Committee:  The current members of the Audit Committee, which held six meetings during 2009, are Mr. Pasquale, Chairman, Mr. Baird, Mr. Dods and Ms. Lau, each of whom is an independent director under the applicable NYSE listing standards and SEC rules and regulations. All four members of the Audit Committee have been determined by the Board of Directors to be audit committee financial experts under the rules of the SEC. The duties and responsibilities of the Audit Committee are set forth in a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, and are summarized in the Audit Committee Report which appears in this Proxy Statement.

Compensation Committee:  The current members of the Compensation Committee, which held four meetings during 2009, are Mr. King, Chairman, Dr. Chun, Ms. Shaw and Mr. Watanabe, each of whom is an independent director under the applicable NYSE listing standards. The Compensation Committee has general responsibility for management and other salaried employee compensation and benefits, including incentive compensation and stock incentive plans, and for making recommendations on director compensation to the Board.

The following are the processes and procedures performed by the Compensation Committee:

·  
Reviews the Company’s compensation, benefit and incentive plans, and, if appropriate, adopts or recommends to the Board the adoption of new plans or amendments or termination of existing plans.
·  
Approves the granting of any stock option, stock grant, stock appreciation right or other equity-based awards, or deferred compensation under incentive plans.
·  
Initiates the performance appraisal process by which the Compensation Committee and the independent directors evaluate the performance of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the independent directors approve the CEO’s base compensation level.
·  
Approves the compensation of executive officers of the Company, other than the base compensation of the CEO.
·  
Evaluates and recommends to the Board the appropriate level of compensation for Board and Committee service by non-employee members of the Board.

The Compensation Committee may form subcommittees and delegate such power and authority as the Committee deems appropriate. However, no subcommittee may have fewer than two members and the Committee may not delegate to a subcommittee any power or authority required by any law, regulation or listing standard to be exercised by the Committee as a whole. Certain authorities have been delegated to the CEO regarding the approval of base compensation of non-executive officers, administration of certain non-executive sales commission and incentive plans and exceptions to eligibility, and minor adjustments to target opportunities and adjustments to individual goals under the A&B Annual Incentive Plan.

In 2009, the Company’s Compensation Committee retained the independent consulting firm Watson Wyatt Worldwide (which became Towers Watson on January 4, 2010) (“Towers Watson”) to assist the Committee in various compensation matters, as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this Proxy Statement.  Towers Watson does not perform any other services for the Company.

The role of executive officers in executive compensation is described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this Proxy Statement. Executive officers are not involved in determining director compensation.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee:  The current members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Nominating Committee”), which held four meetings in 2009, are Mr. Dods, Chairman, Dr. Chun, Ms. Shaw and Mr. Watanabe, each of whom is an independent director under the applicable NYSE listing standards. The functions of the Nominating Committee include identifying and recommending to the Board individuals qualified to serve as directors of A&B; recommending to the Board the size and composition of committees of the Board and monitoring the functioning of the committees; advising on Board composition and procedures; reviewing corporate governance principles and other corporate governance issues; and overseeing the annual evaluation of the Board, ensuring that an evaluation of management is occurring and evaluating the Nominating Committee’s performance.

Nominating Committee Processes. The Nominating Committee identifies potential nominees by asking current directors to notify the Nominating Committee if they become aware of qualified persons who might be available to serve on the Board. The Nominating Committee also, from time to time, engages firms that specialize in identifying director candidates.

The Nominating Committee also will consider director candidates recommended by shareholders. In considering such candidates, the Nominating Committee will take into consideration the needs of the Board and the qualifications of the candidate. The Nominating Committee may also take into consideration the number of shares held by the recommending shareholder and the length of time that such shares have been held. To have a candidate considered by the Nominating Committee, a shareholder must submit a written recommendation that includes the name of the shareholder, evidence of the shareholder’s ownership of A&B stock (including the number of shares owned and the length of time of ownership), the name of the candidate, the candidate’s résumé or a listing of his or her qualifications to be a director of A&B and the candidate’s consent to be named as a nominee if recommended by the Nominating Committee and nominated by the Board for approval by the shareholders.

The shareholder recommendation and information described above must be sent to the Corporate Secretary at 822 Bishop Street, Honolulu, Hawaii, 96813 and must be received not less than 120 days before the anniversary of the date on which A&B’s Proxy Statement was released to shareholders in connection with the previous year’s annual meeting.

The Nominating Committee believes that the minimum qualifications for serving as a director of A&B are that a nominee demonstrate high ethical standards, a commitment to shareholders, a genuine interest in A&B and a willingness and ability to devote adequate time to a director’s duties. The Nominating Committee also may consider other factors that it deems to be in the best interests of A&B and its shareholders, such as business experience, financial expertise and group decision-making skills.  While the Nominating Committee does not have a written diversity policy, it considers diversity of knowledge, skills, professional experience, education, expertise, and representation in industries relevant to the Company, as factors as it evaluates director candidates.

Once a potential candidate has been identified by the Nominating Committee, the Nominating Committee collects and reviews information regarding the person to determine whether the person should be considered further. If appropriate, the Nominating Committee may request information from the candidate, review the person’s accomplishments, qualifications and references, and conduct interviews with the candidate. The Nominating Committee’s evaluation process does not vary based on whether or not a candidate is recommended by a shareholder.

(1)
Represents the aggregate grant-date fair value of restricted stock unit awards granted in 2009.  The dollar amount is slightly higher than $100,000 due to the rounding of shares to a whole number, as provided under the terms of the 2007 Plan.  Each director listed above had 5,630 restricted stock units at the end of 2009.
(2)
There were no options granted in 2009, 2008 or 2007. The aggregate number of stock option awards outstanding at the end of 2009 for each director is as follows:  Mr. Baird – 0 shares; Dr. Chun – 33,515 shares; Messrs. Dods and King – 36,000 shares each; Ms. Lau and Ms. Shaw – 24,000 shares each; Mr. Pasquale – 16,000 shares; and Mr. Watanabe – 27,000 shares.
(3)
All amounts are attributable to the aggregate change in the actuarial present value of the director’s accumulated benefit under a defined benefit pension plan.
(4)
Represents charitable contributions under the matching gifts program described on page 9.
(5)
The change in pension value was a decrease of $770.
(6)
The change in pension value was a decrease of $1,483.
(7)
The change in pension value was a decrease of $2,749.

In 2009, outside directors received an annual cash retainer of $33,000; Messrs. King and Dods received an additional annual retainer fee of $7,500 for serving as Chairpersons of the Compensation Committee and the Nominating Committee, respectively, and Mr. Pasquale received an additional annual retainer fee of $12,000 for serving as Chairperson of the Audit Committee. Mr. Dods received an additional annual retainer fee of $20,000 for serving as the Lead Independent Director. Outside directors received an attendance fee of $1,500 per Board meeting and, in addition, attendance fees of $1,500 per committee meeting. All directors of A&B served as directors of A&B’s Matson subsidiary and, in such capacities, outside directors received attendance fees of $1,200 per Matson Board meeting.  From January 1, 2010, Mr. Dods, who became Non-Executive Chairman of the Board of A&B on such date, is receiving an annual retainer fee of $117,000 for serving as Non-Executive Chairman of the Board.  He will not receive any additional meeting fees.  Directors who are employees of A&B or its subsidiaries do not receive compensation for serving as directors. Outside directors may defer half or all of their annual cash retainer and meeting fees until retirement or until a later date they may select; no directors have deferred any of these fees.

Under the terms of the 2007 Plan, an automatic grant of approximately $100,000 in restricted stock units is given to each director who is elected or reelected as an outside director of A&B at each Annual Meeting of Shareholders. These awards vest in equal increments over three years.  Outside directors may defer $10,000 - $100,000 of their vested shares until cessation of board service, the fifth anniversary of the award date, or whichever is earlier. Three directors have elected to make such a deferral. Beginning in 2010, an additional grant of $56,000 in restricted stock units will be awarded annually to Walter A. Dods, Jr., as non-executive Chairman of the Board. Upon being reelected a director of A&B at its 2010 Annual Meeting, Mr. Dods will receive grants totaling $174,666.67, which include the automatic grant, the additional grant for 2010, and a prorata additional grant for the period of January 1, 2010 to April 30, 2010.

Under A&B’s retirement plan for directors, a director with five or more years of service will receive a lump-sum payment upon retirement or attainment of age 65, whichever is later (but in no event later than the date of the first annual meeting of shareholders after the director attains age 72), that is actuarially equivalent to a payment stream for the life of the director consisting of 50 percent of the amount of the annual retainer fee in effect at the time of his or her retirement or other termination, plus 10 percent of that amount, up to an additional 50 percent, for each year of service as a director over five years. Effective December 31, 2004, these retirement benefits were frozen based on a director’s service and retainer on that date and no further benefits accrue for subsequent periods.

Directors have business travel accident coverage of $200,000 for themselves and $50,000 for their spouses while accompanying directors on A&B business. They also may participate in the Company’s matching gifts program, in which the Company matches contributions to qualified cultural and educational organizations up to a maximum of $3,000 for each director annually.

Director Share Ownership Guidelines. The Board has adopted a “Share Ownership Guideline Policy” for itself, encouraging each non-employee director to own A&B common stock (including restricted stock units) with a value of five times the amount of the current cash retainer of $33,000 or three thousand (3,000) shares, within five years of becoming a director.  All non-employee directors have met the established guidelines.

Communications with Directors. Shareholders or other interested parties may contact any member (or any group of members or all members) of the Board by mail. To communicate with the Board of Directors, correspondence should be addressed to the Board of Directors or any one or more individual directors or group or committee of directors by either name or title. All such correspondence should be sent “c/o A&B Law Department” at A&B’s headquarters at 822 Bishop Street, Honolulu, Hawaii  96813.

All communications received as described above will be opened by the A&B Law Department for the sole purpose of determining whether the contents constitute a communication to A&B’s directors. Any contents that are not in the nature of advertising, promotions of a product or service, or patently offensive material will be forwarded promptly to the director or directors to whom it is addressed. In the case of communications to the Board or to any group of directors, the A&B Law Department will make sufficient copies of the contents to send to each addressee.

In addition, it is A&B policy that directors are invited and strongly encouraged to attend the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. All of the directors attended the 2009 Annual Meeting.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance. Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) requires A&B’s directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10 percent of its common stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership on Forms 3, 4 and 5 with the SEC. A&B believes that during fiscal 2009, its directors and executive officers filed all reports required to be filed under Section 16(a) on a timely basis, except that Michael J. Chun was required to file a Form 4 on or before March 12, 2009, with respect to the sale of 1,651 shares, but such Form 4 was filed on March 18, 2009, and that Maryanna G. Shaw was required to file a Form 5 on or before February 14, 2009, with respect to the disposition of 1,090 shares, but such Form 5 was filed on February 10, 2010.
 

Certain Relationships and Transactions. A&B has adopted a written policy under which the Audit Committee must pre-approve all related person transactions that are disclosable under SEC Regulation S-K, Item 404(a). Prior to entering into a transaction with A&B, directors and executive officers (and their family members) must make full disclosure of all facts and circumstances to the Law Department. The Law Department then determines whether such transaction or arrangement requires the approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee considers all of the relevant facts and circumstances available, including (if applicable) but not limited to: the benefits to the Company; the impact on a director’s independence in the event the person in question is a director, an immediate family member of a director or an entity in which a director is a partner, shareholder or executive officer; the availability of other sources for comparable products or services; the terms of the transaction; and the terms available to unrelated third parties or to employees generally. The Audit Committee will approve only those related person transactions that are in, or are not inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.

The Audit Committee has established written procedures to address situations when approvals need to be sought between meetings. Whenever possible, proposed related person transactions will be included as an agenda item at the next scheduled Audit Committee meeting for review and approval. However, if it appears that a proposed related person transaction will occur prior to the next scheduled Audit Committee meeting, approval will be sought from Audit Committee members between meetings via fax, e-mail or written correspondence. Approval by a majority of the Committee members will be sufficient to approve the related person transaction. If a related person transaction is approved in this manner, the action will be reported at the next Audit Committee meeting.

Walter A. Dods, Jr., non-executive Chairman of the Board of A&B, owns an approximately 29 percent interest in a corporation that, in 2007, purchased a company that previously had entered into a ten-year commercial lease (with two five-year renewal options) at market rates with a subsidiary of A&B. The amount of gross rent paid in 2009 was $152,869 and the remaining aggregate net rent obligation under the lease, which term expires in October 2017, is $1,111,680.

Constance H. Lau, a director of A&B, is President, Chief Executive Officer and Director of HEI, as well as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of American Savings Bank, F.S.B., a subsidiary of HEI. A&B and its subsidiaries have a number of relationships with American Savings Bank, including:

American Savings Bank (i) has a 10.8 percent participation in A&B’s $225 million revolving credit and term loan agreement, of which, in 2009, the largest aggregate amount of principal outstanding was $60,000,000; $70,000,000 and $110,962 were paid in principal and interest, respectively; and $30,000,000 was outstanding on February 19, 2010, with interest payable on a sliding scale at rates between 0.225 percent to 0.475 percent (based on A&B’s current credit rating) plus LIBOR, (ii) has a 10.8 percent participation in Matson’s $100 million revolving credit and term loan agreement (such loan being linked to the $225 million facility described in (i) above), of which, in 2009, the largest aggregate amount of principal outstanding was $70,000,000; $106,000,000 and $61,673 were paid in principal and interest, respectively; and $17,000,000 was outstanding on February 19, 2010, with interest payable on a sliding scale at rates between 0.225 percent to 0.475 percent (based on Matson’s current credit rating) plus LIBOR, (iii)  is a commercial tenant in certain property owned by an A&B subsidiary, under a lease with a term that expires in December 2017, with aggregate gross rent in 2009 of $67,994, and aggregate net rent from and after January 1, 2010 of $428,622, and (iv) is a holdover lessee in A&B’s Mililani Shopping Center, which was sold by A&B in January 2010, with a month-to-month lease for a net monthly rent of $9,720, and is a holdover lessee and licensee in A&B’s Maui Mall Shopping Center, with a month-to-month lease and a month-to-month license for a net monthly rent of $800 and $1,874 per month, respectively.

In 2009, an A&B division sold electricity that it had produced to Maui Electric Company, Inc., an HEI subsidiary, in the amount of approximately $9,275,000.

Ms. Lau’s spouse is the President and Chief Executive Officer of Finance Enterprises, Ltd., a Hawaii-based financial institution. Subsidiaries of Finance Enterprises have two commercial leases with a subsidiary of A&B, with terms expiring in September 2010 and November 2012, with aggregate gross rents in 2009 of $186,620, and aggregate net rents from and after January 1, 2010 of $261,812.

The brother of Matthew J. Cox, President of Matson, is an officer in a company from which Matson leases transportation equipment. The aggregate amount paid under the leases in 2009 was $1,834,439, and the remaining aggregate rental obligations, which expire in July and August 2011, are $1,463,868.

Code of Ethics. A&B has adopted a Code of Ethics (the “Code”) that applies to the CEO, Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) and Controller. A copy of the Code, along with copies of Codes of Conduct applicable to all directors, officers and employees of A&B, is posted on the corporate governance page of A&B’s corporate website, www.alexanderbaldwin.com. A&B intends to satisfy any disclosure requirements under Item 5.05 of Form 8-K regarding an amendment to, or a waiver from, a provision of the Code by posting such information on its website.

Code of Conduct. A&B has adopted a Code of Conduct, which is posted on the corporate governance page of A&B’s corporate website, www.alexanderbaldwin.com.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”)

The CD&A addresses A&B’s compensation practices for 2009 for the six executive officers (includes an officer who retired before December 31, 2009) named in the Summary Compensation Table below (collectively, the “Named Executive Officers” or “NEOs”).

Compensation Overview

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives. The Company seeks to align its objectives with shareholder interests through a compensation program that attracts, motivates and retains outstanding executives, and rewards outstanding performance. To achieve this, the Company uses the following pay elements (described in further detail under “Pay Elements” below):

·  
Salary,
·  
Annual cash incentives,
·  
Equity-based incentives,
·  
Health and welfare benefits,
·  
Retirement benefits,
·  
Severance Plan and Change in Control agreements, and
·  
Executive perquisites.

Target Compensation Percentiles. To achieve the Company’s compensation philosophy, the Compensation Committee has set target compensation percentiles as follows:

·  
Cash compensation at or about the 50th percentile of competitive survey data (described in detail under “The Role of Survey Benchmarking”).
·  
Total direct compensation (salary, annual incentives at target and long-term incentives) between the 50th and 60th percentile.
·  
Total compensation (total direct compensation, plus health and welfare benefits, retirement benefits and perquisites) between the 50th and 60th percentile.

Actual compensation may be higher or lower, depending on Company and individual performance.

As a result of the economic environment, the Company’s compensation philosophy for 2009 was to target the 50th percentile of competitive market data.  The Company has a unique set of businesses and geographies in which it competes. Attracting and retaining top talent in these businesses and geographic segments, particularly Hawaii and the San Francisco Bay Area, where the high cost of living and competitive job market normally challenge the Company’s staffing efforts, remain difficult. In 2009, a competitive assessment of salary, target annual and target long-term incentives for Company executives was conducted and found that salaries are at about the 50th percentile, target total cash compensation approximates the 35th percentile and total direct compensation is at about the 45th percentile of competitive practices.  While this is below the established compensation philosophy, the Committee believes these levels are appropriate at this time given the economic conditions.

Combination of Pay Elements.  The Company’s target compensation percentiles, described above, result in a program that places greater emphasis on performance-based compensation, while at the same time focuses on long-term talent retention. The Committee believes that this is consistent with one of its key compensation objectives, which is to align management interests with shareholder interests.  For 2009, the Compensation Committee placed about the same emphasis on long-term incentive compensation as competitive practice, as shown in the following table.  This occurred because the Committee reduced target incentive plan opportunities for the year.  Normally, the Committee’s intent is to put more emphasis on long-term incentive compensation than competitive practice to keep executives focused on longer-term results.  The Committee believes this philosophy provides the greatest benefit to shareholders.

** Mr. Andrasick retired on August 31, 2009.  Due to the uniqueness of his role during the transition of his duties and responsibilities, his job could not be competitively evaluated.  Mr. Andrasick’s compensation between January 1, 2009 and August 31, 2009 was based on the executive transition agreement described further in the section entitled “Employment Agreements” (the “Executive Transition Agreement”).

The Compensation Committee does not use specific formulas to determine the mix of pay elements, or the allocation between cash and non-cash compensation or among non-cash forms of pay.

Review of Total Compensation. As part of determining total compensation, the Compensation Committee reviews:

·  
A summary of the value of all compensation elements, both direct and non-direct, provided to the executive during the year,
·  
Competitive survey data,
·  
The accumulated value of outstanding equity grants and its sensitivity to stock price movement,
·  
Realized/realizable value of incentive compensation and retirement income for the past five years,
·  
Health and welfare benefits and retirement plan balances,
·  
Company and individual performance,
·  
Prior compensation decisions for the past five years through tally sheets,
·  
Economic environment,
·  
Business unit strategic goals and performance expectations, and
·  
Actual Company, business unit, and individual performance.

The Compensation Committee uses this information to evaluate:

·  
Consistency with the Company’s compensation philosophy,
·  
Consistency with competitive survey data,
·  
Alignment of the pay program to the Committee’s commitment to pay-for-performance,
·  
Internal pay equity based on individual performance, job level and competitive compensation data, and
·  
The effect of potential payments, awards and plan design changes on the executive’s total pay package.

Internal Pay Equity. The Compensation Committee considers internal pay equity as one factor of many to be considered in establishing compensation for executives.  While there is no policy established regarding the ratio of total compensation of the CEO to that of the other executive officers, the Compensation Committee does review compensation levels to ensure that appropriate equity exists.  In 2009, it reviewed the ratio of the CEO’s salary, total cash and total direct compensation relative to the average compensation for the other four NEOs, as reflected in the table below. These ratios were compared to benchmark survey data to determine whether compensation relationships are properly aligned internally.  The Company’s target and actual ratios were found to be within the range of reasonableness and consistent with typical practices for companies of similar size in general industry.

Effect of Recent Economic Challenges on Executive Pay

The ongoing economic challenges have continued to influence the Company’s executive compensation programs.  Incentive compensation awards for 2009 reflected the Company’s lower overall performance, which is consistent with the Company’s focus upon compensation that is performance-based.  Normal target award opportunity levels were reduced at management’s request for the 2009 performance period and award payments were determined on the basis of the revised target opportunities.  As part of a number of proactive measures that the Company put in place for 2009 in light of the economic challenges, the award opportunities for NEOs were reduced by 25% to 50%.  The Committee determined that, in conjunction with other expense reduction measures (such as two years of base salary freezes, reduction of profit-sharing targets and elimination of the bulk of existing perquisites), the reduction was appropriate given the Company’s overall final budget and expense control initiatives for 2009.  The Committee viewed the reduction in the target award as well as base salary freezes as temporary actions given the economic environment and expected Company performance.  The Company match of up to three percent of contributions to the Individual Deferred Compensation Plan was suspended as of August 1, 2009 and remains suspended for 2010.  These actions were considered to be necessary based on expected Company performance in 2009.

The Company also anticipated reductions in competitive long-term incentive award levels and considered the changes in stock price and the combined effect on the Company’s 2009 long-term incentive grants. The impact of a lower share price generally results in more options and restricted shares being granted to plan participants. The Compensation Committee reviewed the resulting number of shares required to meet A&B’s long-term incentive target values and reduced long-term incentive target award values for 2009.  It also made adjustments to the equity mix for 2009 as appropriate, as discussed on page 18, factoring in the total shares to be granted for the year and the effect on shareholder dilution.

Pay Elements

The Company provides the following pay elements to its executive officers in varying combinations to accomplish its compensation objectives.

Salary: Salary is intended to provide a competitive fixed rate of pay based upon an executive’s responsibilities.  The Company’s general philosophy is to provide salaries at the median of salaries paid to officers with comparable job responsibilities in general industry companies of similar size to the Company. Factors that are considered in determining salary include:

·  
Job responsibilities and experience,
·  
The executive’s performance,
·  
Competitive survey data,
·  
Positioning within the executive’s salary range,
·  
Positioning in relation to the Company’s pay philosophy,
·  
Projected salary increases in the general industry,
·  
The value of the executive’s total pay package at target for the year,
·  
Economic conditions, and
·  
Company performance.

Potential gains or the accumulated value of compensation under the equity or benefits programs are not considered when determining salary, although they are considered in determining other elements of compensation.

The Board of Directors determines the CEO’s annual salary change on the basis of the factors mentioned above. The Board has a formal performance review process for the CEO that in 2009 included five categories:  financial performance, strategic effectiveness and innovation, business management, talent management, and personal effectiveness. None of the categories is weighted, and there is no overall rating score. Each board member provides written observations and rates the CEO’s performance against the criteria. The Board of Directors discusses the results of the assessment with the CEO, discussing the areas of greatest strength and the areas where improvements could be made. The result of this process is only one factor in determining the CEO’s actual annual salary increase.

The CEO recommends annual salary changes for the other NEOs. Salary increases for NEOs are generally considered by the Compensation Committee in February of each year for implementation on April 1st. In 2009, based on expected financial challenges for the year and at management’s recommendation, no base salary increases were received by the NEOs.  Base salary increases are being considered for the NEOs in 2010 after two years of no increases other than those related to increased job responsibilities.  Mr. Doane retired as Chief Executive Officer on December 31, 2009.  Effective January 1, 2010, Mr. Kuriyama was appointed Chief Executive Officer, in addition to his title as President of A&B.  Mr. Kuriyama received a salary increase of $215,000, to reflect his increased responsibilities.  The Committee considered competitive compensation levels for a typical chief executive officer, Mr. Kuriyama’s experience in the role, current economic conditions, his current compensation level relative to competitive practices in his current role, and typical pay increases for internal promotions to the Chief Executive Officer position.  On the basis of these factors, none of which was weighted, the Board determined that Mr. Kuriyama’s salary, target total cash and total direct compensation should be set initially about the 30th to 35th percentile.  Mr. Kuriyama previously had declined a salary increase when he was promoted to President in 2008.

** Mr. Andrasick retired on August 31, 2009.  Due to the uniqueness of his role during the transition of his duties and responsibilities, his job could not be competitively evaluated.  His actual compensation was determined under the Executive Transition Agreement.

Annual Incentives: Annual incentives for NEOs are provided through the One-Year Performance Improvement Incentive Plan (“PIIP”) to motivate executives and reward them if they achieve specific corporate, business unit and individual goals. These goals are established in February of each year.

Weighting of Goals. The weighting of the corporate, business unit and individual goals depends on the executive’s position and responsibilities.  The intention is to place a significant portion of the awards on the financial results of the Company and business units, but balance that with important strategic goals that have been established for the year through the individual portion.  The 2009 weighting is as follows and was determined by the Compensation Committee to provide proper balance between financial and strategic goals:

Determination of Annual Cash Incentive Award. Each component -- corporate, business unit and individual -- is evaluated against the respective performance measures and goals.  There are three levels of award opportunities for each component:  threshold, target and extraordinary. In 2009, target award opportunity levels for NEOs were reduced and ranged from 25 percent to 52.5 percent of salary.  In 2010, the normal target award opportunity levels for NEOs range will be reinstated and will range from 50 percent to 90 percent of salary, which is consistent with competitive targets.  If a threshold goal is not achieved, there will be no payout for that component. If threshold goals are achieved, a participant will receive 50 percent of the target award opportunity set for that component. If target or extraordinary goals are achieved, a participant will receive 100 or 200 percent, respectively, of the target award opportunity for that component. Awards are prorated for performance between the threshold, target and extraordinary levels, as applicable.  No additional award is provided for performance above the extraordinary goal level.

The CEO reviews the annual cash incentive award calculations for each individual (other than himself), and makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding payouts, including the reasons for his recommendations. For the 2009 awards however, due to the CEO transition, Mr. Doane assessed the performance of Mr. Andrasick, Mr. Benjamin, and Mr. Kuriyama, while Mr. Kuriyama assessed the performance of Messrs. Buelsing and Cox.  The Compensation Committee approves the awards and has discretion to modify recommended awards, both positively and negatively, to take into consideration factors it believes more appropriately reflect the performance of the Company, unit, or individual. Such factors may vary, but may include, for individuals, adjustments for an executive taking on temporary but significant additional responsibilities to his normal job role or, for the Company or a business unit, adjustments for extraordinary events.  No such adjustments were made by the Committee for 2009 incentive awards.

Working with Towers Watson-supplied reports and using data as described in the benchmark section on page 21, management and the Compensation Committee reviewed target award levels for the annual cash incentive awards and confirmed that each NEO is at or below the 50th percentile and target total cash is below the 50th percentile for each of the NEOs, as shown in the table below. In line with other expense reduction measures taken by the Company, target incentive opportunities for 2009 for each NEO were reduced by the Committee by 25 to 50% percent.  The Committee may adjust opportunity targets to more competitive levels at any time it deems it reasonable.

While the Compensation Committee does not anticipate circumstances where a restatement of earnings upon which incentive compensation award decisions were based would occur, should such circumstances arise the Compensation Committee has the discretion to take necessary actions to protect the interests of shareholders, including actions to seek to recover such incentive awards.  In 2009, Towers Watson provided the Committee with an overview of current market practices with regard to recovery or recoupment policies.  The Committee plans to further review this issue in 2010.

Company and Business Unit Performance. The corporate component measure in 2009 was based on the operating plan approved by the Board of Directors and was weighted 65 percent on corporate profit before income tax and 35 percent on return on invested capital (“ROIC”). Performance goals for the Transportation and Real Estate units were weighted 65 percent on business unit profit before income tax and 35 percent on ROIC. Profit before income tax was selected as a performance component because the Company believes it best reflects the results of business execution and profitability levels. ROIC was chosen as a performance component because it is a key measure in identifying how effectively the Company is investing its capital resources. The Company believes that both performance goals align shareholder and executive interests.

The annual corporate and business unit targets reflect the Company’s Board-approved operating plan. When establishing the operating plan, management and the Board of Directors consider the historical performance of the Company, external elements such as economic conditions and competitive factors, Company capabilities, performance objectives, and the Company’s strategic plan.

If performance with respect to a corporate or business unit component is below the threshold level, there is no incentive payout made for that component. The target levels for corporate and business unit goals were set at 100 percent of the 2009 Board-approved operating plan amounts. Should the Company or any business unit exceed the extraordinary level of performance, awards are capped at the extraordinary level. However, the Compensation Committee believes that part of its role is to apply informed discretionary judgment to the goals and achievements.

For determination of award levels for 2009, the Company’s 2009 operating performance was compared to the performance goals approved by the Compensation Committee in January 2009. Corporate goals and actual results were as follows:

Performance goals were established in late 2008 and did not fully anticipate the depth and severity of the deteriorating operating environment that the Company would face in 2009 across all lines of business.  Accordingly, operating performance in 2009 was lower than planned, with consolidated corporate profit before income tax and ROIC below the threshold levels.  While results were below objectives, a profitable year was achieved in spite of the challenging operating conditions throughout the Company.  The Company also improved its overall financial condition and generated positive operating cash flow in 2009.  Aggressive cost-reduction measures continued in 2009, and the Company believes it is positioned well as the markets it serves begin to recover.  As a result of the actual performance against the goals discussed above, only one NEO (Mr. Buelsing) earned a portion of the award tied to business unit financial results.

Individual Performance. In addition to corporate and business unit performance goals, each NEO had 30 percent of his 2009 award based on achieving individual goals. These individual goals vary, depending upon the NEO’s position in the Company and/or the activities of the NEO’s business unit. Certain individual goals are objective and therefore measurable; other individual goals are more qualitative in nature. Individual goals are approved by the Compensation Committee each year. Performance against individual goals is assessed at threshold, target, and extraordinary levels.

Mr. Doane’s individual goals addressed four areas:  succession planning actions in collaboration with the Board of Directors; expanding and enhancing investor relations; implementing cost and capital reduction spending programs consistent with a significant economic downturn; and responding to strategic issues at Kukui'ula and HC&S.   The Committee and the Board assessed the CEO’s overall performance relative to the combined individual goals set for him at the beginning of the year. Mr. Doane’s overall accomplishments were determined by the Compensation Committee to be between target and extraordinary levels.

Mr. Kuriyama’s individual goals addressed achieving property sales objectives as established by the Company’s operating plan; evaluating and achieving strategic goals for A&B’s Kukui’ula project; determining the strategic direction of Hawaiian Commercial & Sugar Company (“HC&S”); and improving profitability and reducing costs at Matson and Matson Integrated Logistics.  Mr. Kuriyama’s overall accomplishments were determined to be slightly below the target level.

Mr. Benjamin’s individual goals addressed restoring stability to HC&S and positioning it for continued success either through operational improvements or through a shift in strategic direction; and preserving A&B’s value through prudent capital management, protection of access to capital, the maintenance of internal controls and compliance with financial regulations and requirements.  Mr. Benjamin’s overall accomplishments were determined to be slightly below the extraordinary level.

Mr. Andrasick’s individual goals addressed succession planning and executing a smooth transition as part of a planned executive transition plan; growing Matson Integrated Logistics’s and Matson Global Distribution Services’s revenues and earnings through new products, services, and acquisitions; and monitoring and coordinating governmental issues affecting Matson’s operations.  Mr. Andrasick’s overall accomplishments were determined to be slightly below the target level.

Mr. Cox’s individual goals addressed Matson cost-reduction initiatives; implementing a reduction in force across Matson; improving service standards in the Hawaii Service; implementing important information technology initiatives; and maintaining and increasing China Service volumes.  Mr. Cox’s overall accomplishments were determined to be slightly below the extraordinary level.

Mr. Buelsing’s individual goals addressed increasing profitability of the U.S. Mainland and Hawaii leasing portfolios; improving income property portfolio occupancy rates; identifying and funding new project investments; and achieving development sales margin, property sales and tax-deferred property exchange goals.  Mr. Buelsing’s overall accomplishments were determined to be slightly above the threshold level.

Equity-Based Compensation:  The equity portion of the total compensation program is designed to:

·  
Align management and shareholder interests,
·  
Provide an incentive to increase shareholder value over the longer-term, and
·  
Provide a means to attract, motivate and retain, as well as reward, the management team responsible for the success of the Company.

The types of equity-based compensation provided to NEOs in 2009 and 2010 are nonqualified stock options, time-based restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units. Because a financial gain from stock options is only possible if the price of the Company’s stock has increased and because these stock options vest over an extended time period, the Compensation Committee believes these grants encourage behaviors and decisions that focus on increasing A&B’s value, and correspondingly A&B's stock price, over an extended time frame, which benefits all shareholders of A&B. Time-based restricted stock unit grants are intended to focus behaviors on improving long-term stock price performance, increasing share ownership and, through forfeiture conditions, strengthening retention of participants. Performance-based restricted stock unit grants are intended to focus behaviors on achieving specific performance goals, as well as on the same objectives as time-based restricted stock unit grants.

The Company’s long-term incentive award opportunities target the combination of salary, target annual incentives and long-term incentive award opportunities between the 50th and 60th percentile of the competitive survey data. However, for 2009, the Committee granted such awards at about the 50th percentile and varied individual awards between the 40th and 60th percentiles based on the individual’s personal performance and contributions.  Equity-based grants are generally considered and granted annually in January by the Compensation Committee. Based on current market data provided by Towers Watson, the CEO makes recommendations for each executive officer (except himself) to the Compensation Committee, which retains full discretion to accept, reject or amend his recommendations. In determining the type and size of a grant to an executive officer, the Compensation Committee generally considers, among other things:

·  
Company and individual performance,
·  
The executive officer’s current and expected future contributions to the Company,
·  
Effect of a potential award on total compensation and pay philosophy,
·  
Internal equity relationships,
·  
Benchmark data,
·  
Economic environment, and
·  
Size of recent grants.

None of these factors is weighted.

The Compensation Committee, with the assistance of Towers Watson, reviews and determines the appropriate types and weights of equity grants each year.  In January 2009 and 2010, the Compensation Committee made equity grants in a combination of stock options, time-based restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units. The mix of the value of these three components in 2009 was intended to be 25 percent of the targeted long-term incentive value based on stock options, 37.5 percent of the value tied to time-based restricted stock units and 37.5 percent of the value tied to performance-based restricted stock units.  The mix of grants in 2010 was revised based on information provided by Towers Watson to place a greater emphasis on performance-based awards, which is consistent with the Company’s “pay for performance” philosophy.  For 2010, 30 percent of the award value is in stock options, 30 percent is tied to time-based restricted stock units and 40 percent is tied to performance-based restricted stock units.  The Compensation Committee believes this mix of grants provides upside opportunity through the use of stock options, but balances that potential upside with the downside risks of an actual shareholder through grants of restricted stock units, and ties a portion of equity compensation to achieving a specific performance goal through grants of performance-based restricted stock units. In determining the number of shares to be granted for the 2009 long-term incentive awards, the Committee used calculations provided by Towers Watson using a share price assumption that was higher than the stock price on the date of grant.  The difference in the actual stock price at grant and the stock price assumption used for determining the number of shares granted, resulted in a slightly different mix in value (approximately 20 percent stock options, 40 percent time-based restricted stock units, and 40 percent performance-based restricted stock units) and also resulted in lower award values than originally intended by the Committee by approximately 12 percent, with the exception of Mr. Andrasick, per the terms of his Executive Transition Agreement.  However, given the daily volatility of the stock market, the Committee agreed in advance that this was the most sensible approach at that time.  (For 2010 awards, the Compensation Committee returned to its customary practice of approving awards based on dollar amounts.) In addition, beginning with the 2009 award, the Compensation Committee increased the vesting period for performance-based restricted stock units from one-year vesting to vesting in equal increments over three years.  The Compensation Committee believed that the lengthened vesting period was in line with market practices, would strengthen alignment with shareholders and, through forfeiture conditions, strengthen retention of participants.

Given the economic environment and stock price decreases, the Committee took into account various considerations when determining 2009 award amounts, including but not limited to, shares available for grant under the 2007 Plan, reduced cash incentive targets, the lack of salary increases for NEOs, the current stock price, base salary versus market competitive data, and current survey data.  The Committee used the most current survey data available (which was based on 2008 market data), but did not rely as heavily on a competitive percentile target as in past years in making grant determinations due to expected differences between 2008 and 2009 survey data.  At management’s recommendation, the Committee targeted grants at or below the 50th percentile of competitive practices, as opposed to the 60th percentile.  However, the exact positioning was not known at the time of grant because 2009 survey data had not yet been published.  Consistent with prior years, Towers Watson provided a guideline range for equity grants for the Compensation Committee to consider, as determined through survey sources available at that time (Watson Wyatt and Towers Perrin – see The Role of Survey Benchmarking on page 21). 

When compared to the actual 2009 survey data when it became available, rather than 2008 data used, the 2009 equity awards were at about the 60th percentile for Messrs. Doane and Kuriyama, about the 40th percentile for Messrs. Benjamin and Cox, and about the 50th percentile for Mr. Buelsing.  Mr. Andrasick’s 2009 award, made in accordance with the terms of his Executive Transition Agreement, resulted in grants at the 55th percentile.  Upon his retirement on August 31, 2009, Mr. Andrasick’s performance-based and time-based restricted stock unit components of his 2009 long-term incentive award were subject to pro rata vesting under the terms of the 2007 Plan.  In light of the valuable contributions Mr. Andrasick has made to the Company during his tenure, the vesting of an additional $50,000 of his time-based restricted stock unit award was accelerated in connection with his retirement.

In line with the Committee’s intent to target the 50th percentile, the 2010 equity awards as determined by the Committee were at about the 50th percentile for Messrs. Kuriyama, Benjamin, and Mr. Cox and slightly under the 60th percentile for Mr. Buelsing.  Messrs. Doane and Andrasick did not receive a grant due to their retirement.

For the 2009 performance-based restricted stock unit grants made in January 2009, three levels of performance goals were established based on corporate profit before income tax and return on invested capital (ROIC) goals, as described in the previous “Company and Business Unit Performance” section:  threshold, target and extraordinary. If the threshold level is not achieved, the grants are forfeited. Awards are prorated for performance between the threshold, target and extraordinary levels, as applicable.  In 2009, the Company’s corporate performance was below the threshold levels for both measures, as discussed in the previous “Company and Business Unit Performance” section, and resulted in executives earning none of their targeted performance-based shares.

Retirement Plans:  The Company provides various retirement plans to assist its executives and other employees with retirement income savings and increase the attractiveness of employment with the Company by providing a competitive retirement package. None of the qualified or nonqualified retirement plans is tied directly to Company performance, with the exception of the A&B Profit Sharing Plan as described below. The Committee periodically reviews the value of benefits from the retirement plans in conjunction with all other forms of pay in making compensation decisions.

A&B Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees and Retirement Plan for Employees of Matson:  The A&B Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees and Retirement Plan for Employees of Matson (“Qualified Retirement Plans”), which are tax-qualified defined benefit pension plans, provide retirement benefits to the Company’s salaried non-bargaining unit employees. The Pension Benefits table of this Proxy Statement shows estimated present values of annual accrued retirement benefits of covered participants payable at age 62 (the earliest age at which benefits are unreduced), or current age, if older, under these plans.

In 2007, the Compensation Committee and management worked with Towers Watson to review the design of these plans and amended them to apply a “cash balance” formula for all salaried non-bargaining unit employees joining the Company after December 31, 2007. The decision to amend the plans was based on the need to provide a more attractive and portable plan to employees, improve asset management, mitigate financial risks, improve plan costs, increase employee responsibility in retirement planning and remove unintentional retention or early retirement incentives. The Company intends to maintain the current calculation formulas for employees hired prior to January 1, 2008, including all the NEOs.

Non-Qualified Benefits Plans:  The Company has the following non-qualified benefits plans for executives that are designed to meet the retirement plan objectives described above. With the exception of the A&B Excess Benefits Plan, no new participants have been added since 1997, and there are no plans to add any participants in the future.

·  
A&B Excess Benefits Plan: Complements the Qualified Retirement Plans and A&B Profit Sharing Retirement Plan to provide benefits and contributions in an amount equal to what otherwise would have been provided using the Qualified Retirement Plans’ formulas except for the contribution, compensation and benefits limits imposed by tax law.  All NEOs participate in this plan.

·  
A&B Executive Survivor/Retirement Benefit Plan: Provides executives with either a death or retirement benefit. In 2009, this plan had three active participants, only one of whom, Mr. Doane, was an NEO. Participants may elect to receive the benefit as a lump sum, instead of a payout of monthly installments over ten years.  As of February 2010, no NEOs are active participants in the plan.

·  
A&B 1985 Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan: Enhances the Company’s ability to hire and retain executives who, because of a career change, would have less than a full service career with the Company. In 2009, this plan had three active participants, only one of whom, Mr. Doane, was an NEO.  As of February 2010, no NEOs are active participants in the plan.

A&B Profit Sharing Retirement Plan and Individual Deferred Compensation Plan:  The Company has a performance-based Profit Sharing Retirement Plan available to all salaried non-bargaining unit employees that provides for discretionary contributions to participants of up to 3 percent of compensation based on the degree of achievement of income before taxes as established in the Company’s annual Board-approved operating plan.  In 2009, available contributions were set between zero and three percent, and in 2010, the Plan was suspended.  The Company also has an Individual Deferred Compensation Plan (a 401(k) plan), available to all salaried non-bargaining unit employees, that generally provides for a match of up to three percent of the compensation deferred by a participant during the fiscal year.  This match was suspended effective September 1, 2009.

For 2009, the Compensation Committee determined that participants would not receive any profit sharing contribution, based upon the Company’s below-threshold performance for its profit before income tax goal; however, the Company made matching contributions under the Individual Deferred Compensation Plan prior to suspension. The value of the Company’s 2009 Individual Deferred Compensation matches for NEOs is included in the Summary Compensation Table of this Proxy Statement.

Employment Agreements:  Except as set forth below, the Company does not provide employment agreements for any of the NEOs. The Company believes in a policy of “at will” employment.

On August 28, 2008, as part of its executive succession planning and to provide for an orderly transition, Matson entered into an Executive Transition Agreement with Mr. Andrasick in which Mr. Andrasick, who was President and Chief Executive Officer of Matson, would serve as Matson’s Chairman of the Board from October 1, 2008 to August 31, 2009, at which time Mr. Andrasick retired from the Company.  To recognize Mr. Andrasick for his past contributions to Matson and A&B, the Company determined that all elements of Mr. Andrasick’s compensation would remain the same, including an equity grant in 2009 at the same level of award as in 2008, with the number of options and shares to be determined by the methodology approved by the Compensation Committee and subject to the terms of the 2007 Plan.

On October 22, 2009, as part of its executive succession planning and to provide for an orderly transition, the Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Doane in which he will be provided office space and parking at the Company’s offices in Honolulu, Hawaii, limited administrative support, and reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses directly incurred in providing assistance to the Company at its request.  The agreement commenced on February 1, 2010 when Mr. Doane ceased to be an employee and ends on the later of (i) Mr. Doane’s 65th birthday (January 17, 2013) or (ii) Mr. Doane’s termination or retirement as a director of the Company.

Executive Perquisites and Benefits:  In the past, the Company provided limited perquisites as part of a competitive pay package for executives.  However, in 2009, the Company eliminated the bulk of such perquisites.  In September 2009, the Company eliminated car allowances, financial planning services, company physicals and club memberships (with the exception of limited airline club memberships).   The aggregate cost of providing perquisites to all NEOs in 2009 was less than $80,000 and is expected to be negligible in 2010.

Severance Plan and Change in Control Agreements: The Company provides a Severance Plan and Change in Control Agreements to certain executives, including each of the NEOs, to retain talent during transitions due to a Change in Control or other covered event and to provide a competitive pay package. In particular, Change in Control agreements promote the continuation of management to ensure a smooth transition and protect the underlying stock value during the transitional period. The Compensation Committee designed the original agreement terms with the intent to provide a competitively structured program, and yet be conservative overall in the size and amounts of potential award payouts. The Compensation Committee’s decisions regarding other compensation elements are affected by the potential payouts under these arrangements, as the Committee considers how increases in the other pay components will affect the size of the potential payments under these arrangements, and how the terms and conditions of these arrangements and incentive plan designs interrelate.

In 2008, Towers Watson reviewed the Company’s Change in Control agreements to determine whether the terms of the agreements were consistent with competitive trends and Company philosophy.  As a result of this review, the Company revised the agreements to more closely reflect competitive market trends by setting payouts for stock options at the fair market value on the day of termination rather than at the highest price paid upon a change in control transaction, paying a multiple of target bonus, rather than the highest paid in the past five years, and further limiting the circumstances in which excise tax gross-ups may apply by replacing gross-ups with conditional gross-ups.  In February of 2010, the Committee approved changes to the existing Change in Control agreements and removed any tax gross-up provisions for all program participants, including the NEOs.  The Compensation Committee recognizes that this is an area of significant change and will continue to periodically review the agreements. These agreements are described in further detail in the Other Potential Post-Employment Payments section of this Proxy Statement.

Retiree Health and Medical Plan:  The Company provides NEOs with the same retiree medical and life insurance benefits as are provided in general to all salaried non-bargaining unit employees. These benefits aid in retaining and recognizing long-term service employees and provide for health care costs in retirement. The Company limits its contribution towards the monthly premium, based on the employee’s age and years of service. These benefits are not provided to employees who join the Company after December 31, 2007. The benefits from this plan are reflected in the Other Potential Post-Employment Payments section of this Proxy Statement.

The Role of Survey Benchmarking

The Company uses published survey data as a benchmarking tool, but does not benchmark against specific companies within such surveys.  The Company operates in a number of different industries and therefore does not have a direct peer or comparative group. Accordingly, the Company does not use data that is specific to any individual segment of the Company’s business but instead, based on the recommendation of Towers Watson, it uses data from six national and highly recognized published surveys representing a broad group of general industry companies similar in size to the Company to assess the Company’s pay practices.  The survey sources provide only one of the tools that the Committee uses to assess appropriate pay levels.  Internal equity, Company performance, business unit performance, compensation philosophy, performance consistency, historical pay movement, economic environment and individual performance are also reviewed.

The surveys used by Towers Watson in their base salary, target total cash analysis  and comparison of CEO pay to other NEOs include: Watson Wyatt 2009/2010 Top Management Compensation Survey, Hay General Market 2009 Executive Compensation Survey, 2009 Mercer U.S. Benchmark Database - Executive Compensation Survey, the Towers Perrin U.S. CDB General Industry Executive Database 2008 Descriptive Statistics and the National Association for Real Estate Investment Trust (NAREIT) Compensation Survey.  These surveys represent between 300 to 2,400 companies, depending on the survey source.  Towers Watson uses data subsets in each survey that represent companies of similar size with revenues between $500 million and $2.5 billion. These data subsets provide compensation information for 40 to 200 companies, depending on the survey. The Company believes that the number of surveys used for benchmarking and the size of the survey samples are meaningful and provide appropriate pay comparisons. Benchmarking is just one factor used in setting executive compensation.

Because of differences in the methodologies, timing of the release of survey results, cost of surveys and the type of data covered, each of the six nationally published surveys may not be used for benchmarking all pay components.  For salary and annual cash incentives, Watson Wyatt 2009/2010 Top Management Compensation Survey, Hay General Market 2009 Executive Compensation Survey, 2009 Mercer U.S. Benchmark Database - Executive Compensation Survey, the Towers Perrin U.S. CDB General Industry Executive Database 2009 Descriptive Statistics and the 2009 NAREIT Compensation Survey were used. For target long-term incentives and internal equity comparisons, two surveys (Watson Wyatt 2009/2010 Report on Long-term Incentives, Policies and Practices and the Towers Perrin survey listed above) were used because they provided the most current information at the time the analysis was conducted. For health and retirement benefits and executive perquisites, the Company has previously used Towers Watson’s survey databases and proprietary analytical tools, although an in-depth analysis was not conducted in 2009 because the Committee determined that the cost-benefit of such an analysis did not appear to be reasonable given the considerable fluctuation in data during these uncertain economic times.  Towers Watson benefits database maintains benefits plan information on salaried employees for over 1,300 employers, representing a broad cross section of industry, geographic location and size. Because of the proprietary nature of the Watson Wyatt 2009/2010 Database of Long-term Incentives, Policies and Practices and its inclusion of privately-held companies, a list of the comparator companies in that survey was not made available to the Company or the Compensation Committee and, as a result, cannot be disclosed.  The names of the companies comprising the other five surveys are included in Appendix B.

The Role of the Compensation Consultant

In 2009, the Compensation Committee retained Towers Watson to assist the Committee in:
·  
Evaluating salary and incentive compensation levels,
·  
Preparing a summary of the value of all compensation elements provided to executives during the year,
·  
Reviewing and suggesting executive pay plan design modifications, and
·  
Understanding current trends and legislative reform initiatives in the area of executive compensation.

Towers Watson does not perform any other services for the Company unrelated to executive compensation requests from the Compensation Committee.

The Role of Management

Management assists the Compensation Committee in its role of determining executive compensation in a number of ways, including:

·  
Attending portions of the Compensation Committee meetings, and meeting periodically with the Committee Chair to discuss executive compensation,
·  
Providing management’s perspective on compensation plan structure and implementation,
·  
Identifying appropriate performance measures and establishing individual performance goals that are consistent with the Board-approved operating plans and the Company’s strategic plan,
·  
Providing the data used to measure performance against established goals, with the CEO providing perspective on individual executive performance and compensation amounts (other than his own),
·  
Participating in published pay surveys,
·  
Providing recommendations, based on information provided by Towers Watson, regarding pay levels for officers (other than the CEO) on the basis of plan formulas, salary structures and the CEO’s assessment of individual officer performance, and
·  
Assisting in preparing agendas and information for Committee meetings.

Tax and Accounting Considerations

In evaluating the compensation structure, the Compensation Committee considers tax and accounting treatment, balancing the effects on the individual and on the Company. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limits the tax deductibility of certain executive compensation in excess of $1,000,000 for any fiscal year, except for certain “performance-based compensation.”  The Compensation Committee does not necessarily limit executive compensation to that amount, but considers it as one factor in its decision-making. The A&B 1998 Stock Option/Stock Incentive Plan (the “1998 Plan”) is not Section 162(m)-compliant except as it applies to the granting of options; however, the 2007 Plan has been structured to qualify for tax deductibility under Section 162(m), if certain conditions are met.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

The Company has had guidelines in place since 1994 to encourage stock ownership among its executives to be achieved within a five-year period. The current ownership goals reflected below were determined by the Committee to provide a vested interest in the Company and ensure commitment to longer-term decision-making among senior officers. Executives are required to own a value of stock of 3 times to 5 times (as set forth below) the amount of the covered executive’s current salary.  In 2009, based on the recommendation of Towers Watson and in light of organizational changes and the indefinite suspension of the Three-Year PIIP, the salary multiple applicable to NEOs other than the CEO was changed from 3.5 times to 3 times the amount of the executive’s salary.

Position
Salary Multiple
CEO
5X
Other NEOs
3X

All NEOs but one have met, and for the most part significantly exceeded, the ownership guidelines.  The remaining executive is expected to meet the guidelines within the next two years.

Equity Granting Policy

The Company does not have any practice, policy or program allowing for timing of equity grants in relation to the Company’s current stock price or material non-public information. Equity awards are normally granted for current employees at the same time of year at the January Compensation Committee meeting, which generally is held on the fourth Wednesday of the month. Equity grants for new hires or promoted employees are established and approved at regularly scheduled Compensation Committee meetings. Neither the CEO nor any other executive has the discretion to set any grant dates of awards.

The strike price for stock option grants under the 2007 Plan was set in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 2007 Plan, and established the price as the closing price on the date of grant. The terms and conditions of each grant are determined by the Compensation Committee at the time of the grant approval, in accordance with the relevant plan.  A&B’s policies prohibit executive officers from hedging against the potential changes in the value of A&B stock.

Amounts reflected in this section relate to estimated payouts under the PIIP. The value of the actual payouts is included in column (g) of the Summary Compensation Table.
  (2)
Amounts in this section reflect performance-based restricted stock grants.  No performance-based stock, which represented 40% of the amount reflected in column (l), was earned for 2009.
 
(3)
Amounts in this section reflect time-based restricted stock grants.
 
(4)
Based upon the closing price of A&B common stock on the date of grant.
  (5)
Amounts shown in columns (c) through (i) for Mr. Andrasick represent the gross award value or gross number of units granted to Mr. Andrasick; however, due to Mr. Andrasick’s retirement on August 31, 2009, he was only eligible to vest in approximately 19 percent of the units and amounts shown.
 
The PIIP is based on corporate, business unit, and individual goals depending on the executive’s position and job responsibilities. Performance measures, weighting of goals and target opportunities are discussed in the CD&A section of this Proxy Statement. The Company also has an Annual Incentive Plan that provides performance-based incentives to key employees who are not eligible to participate in the PIIP.

Under both the 1998 Plan and the 2007 Plan, the Company has issued stock options that vest in equal increments over three years and have a maximum term of 10 years. They continue to vest and are exercisable for three years after disability, normal retirement at 65 or approved early retirement at 55 (with five years of service). Vesting automatically accelerates in the event of death and the executive’s personal representative has up to 12 months to exercise the stock options. Stock options automatically vest either (1) immediately prior to the specified effective date of a Change in Control and remain exercisable up to the consummation of the event unless assumed by the successor corporation under the 1998 Plan or (2) on the specified effective date of a Change in Control if the participant is involuntarily terminated or awards are not assumed or replaced by the successor company.  Under both plans, if an employee is terminated due to misconduct, providing services to another organization that may be considered competitive with the Company’s business operations or engages in other conduct considered materially detrimental to the business, then the option terminates immediately.  Under the 1998 Plan, if an employee who has been designated a Section 16 officer (which includes all NEOs) ceases to be employed for any other reason the option may be exercised within six months of termination to the degree vested at the time of termination. Under the 2007 Plan, if an employee ceases to be employed for any other reason the option may be exercised within three months of termination to the degree vested at the time of termination. Stock options cannot be repriced under either Plan without shareholder approval.

Under both the 1998 Plan and the 2007 Plan, the Company has issued time-based restricted stock grants (or restricted stock units) that vest in equal increments over three years. Under the 1998 Plan, time-based restricted stock grants that are unvested will automatically vest upon death, permanent disability, normal retirement at 65 or approved early retirement at 55 (with five years of service). Upon the effective date of any change in control, any unvested restricted shares automatically vest. Under the 2007 Plan, time-based restricted stock unit grants that are unvested will automatically vest upon death or permanent disability. Time-based restricted stock units will partially vest on a prorated basis upon normal retirement at 65 or approved early retirement at 55 (with five years of service). Under the 2007 Plan, upon the effective date of any change in control, any unvested restricted share units automatically vest if the participant is involuntarily terminated or awards are not assumed or replaced by the successor company.
 
From 2007 through 2009, under both the 1998 Plan and the 2007 Plan, the Company has issued performance-based restricted stock grants (or restricted stock units) that vest at the end of one year and the number of shares that vest is determined on the basis of achieving pre-established corporate profit before income tax goals set at target, threshold and extraordinary performance goal levels. Grants made in January 2008, 2009 and 2010 include a ROIC measure weighted 35 percent, with pretax income goals weighted 65 percent. The Committee added the ROIC measure to focus on efficient use of capital.  Actual performance at the target level results in earning 100 percent of the target award shares (or units). Actual performance at the threshold level results in earning 50 percent of the target award shares (or units). Actual performance below the threshold level results in no awards earned. Actual performance at the extraordinary level results in earning the maximum number of shares (or units) equal to 200 percent of the target number of shares (or units). For actual performance between threshold, target and extraordinary, awards are determined on a prorated basis between these anchor points on a straight line-basis. If participants receiving a performance-based restricted stock grant terminate employment for any reason other than death, permanent disability, normal retirement or approved early retirement, they will not receive a payout. If a participant terminates due to death, permanent disability, normal retirement or approved early retirement, his or her award will be prorated on the basis of the number of full or partial months employed and the amount paid at the end of the performance period. Under the 2007 Plan, if there is a change in control, any unvested performance-based restricted share units automatically vest if the participant is involuntarily terminated or awards are not assumed or replaced by the successor company. Grants of performance-based restricted stock units granted under the 2007 Plan made in January 2009 and 2010 will continue to have a one-year performance period, but vest in equal increments over three years.

  Under both the 1998 Plan and 2007 Plan, grantees receive dividends on the full amount of restricted stock (or restricted stock units) granted, regardless of vesting, at the same rate as is payable on the Company’s common stock.  However, for grants made on or after January 27, 2010, payment of accrued dividend equivalents on performance-based restricted stock units awards will be made upon attainment of the applicable performance goals and will be paid according to the number of actual shares earned.

(1)  
Years of credited benefit service used to determine annual accrued pension benefit is 25 years minus the number of years between date of determination and member’s normal retirement date.
(2)  
Represents net of advanced payment at retirement for Medicare taxes.  Remaining payment under the plan will be paid following the 6-month holdback pursuant to Internal Revenue Code Section 409(A).
 
Actuarial assumptions used to determine the present values of the retirement benefits include:  Discount rates for qualified and non-qualified retirement plans of 6.25 percent and 5.00 percent, respectively. 2010 Applicable Mortality Table and PPA 3-segment lump sum interest rates (with applicable transition weightings and 39 percent marginal tax rate adjustment) of 2.02 percent (for first 5 years), 3.08 percent (next 15 years) and 3.25 percent (years in excess of 20) for participants age 62 and over in 2010, used for the A&B Excess Benefits Plan and A&B 1985 Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. Different applicable transition weightings (based on year of attainment of age 62) applied to 3-segment interest rates for other participants. Age 62 (or current age, if greater) is the assumed retirement age. Qualified benefits are assumed to be paid on a life annuity basis. The A&B Excess Benefits Plan benefits are paid as a lump sum equal to the present value of the benefit assumed to be paid on a life annuity basis. A&B 1985 Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan benefits are paid as a lump sum equal to the present value of the benefit assumed to be paid on an unreduced 50 percent joint and survivor annuity basis, assuming a hypothetical spouse three years younger. The A&B Executive Survivor/Retirement Plan benefits are assumed to be paid as a guaranteed 10-year annuity unless an election has been made to receive a lump sum equal to the present value of a guaranteed 10-year annuity.

A&B Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees:  The A&B Retirement Plan provides retirement benefits to the Company’s salaried employees who are not subject to collective bargaining agreements. Retirement benefits are based on participants’ average monthly compensation in the five highest consecutive years of their final 10 years of service. Compensation includes base salary, overtime pay and one-year bonuses. The amounts are based on an ordinary straight life annuity payable at normal retirement age. An employee vests after five years of service with the Company. The normal retirement age is 65. An employee may take early retirement at age 55 or older, if the employee has already completed at least five years of service with the Company. If an employee retires early, the same formula for normal retirement is used, although the benefit will be reduced for commencement before age 62 because the employee will receive payment early over a longer period of time. A substantially similar plan, the Retirement Plan for Employees of Matson, provides retirement benefits to the employees of Matson. Both plans have been amended to apply a “cash balance” formula to salaried non-bargaining unit employees joining the Company after December 31, 2007.  Messrs.  Kuriyama and Buelsing are eligible for early retirement.

A&B Excess Benefits Plan:  The Excess Benefits Plan was adopted to help the Company meet its objectives for retirement plans, including assisting employees with retirement income planning, increasing the attractiveness of employment with the Company and attracting mid-career executives. The Excess Benefits Plan works together with the Qualified Retirement Plans and A&B Profit Sharing Retirement Plan to provide Company benefits and contributions in an amount equal to what otherwise would have been provided using the Qualified Retirement Plans’ formulas except for the contribution, compensation and benefits limits imposed by tax law. Under the A&B Profit Sharing Retirement Plan, amounts are credited to executives’ accounts, to be payable after the executive’s separation from service. Executives may elect to convert cash payments in their accounts to common stock-equivalent units. Benefits based on the Qualified Retirement Plan are also payable after the executive’s separation from service. Payment will be made six months following separation from service to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code.  Executives joining the Company after December 31, 2007 do not qualify to participate in the A&B Excess Benefits Plan.

A&B 1985 Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan:  The A&B 1985 Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan was adopted to enhance the Company’s ability to hire and retain executives who, because of a career change, would have less than a full service career with the Company. At normal retirement, the award is calculated as if the participant had 25 years of service at normal retirement reduced by benefits payable under the Qualified Retirement Plan, the A&B Excess Benefits Plan and the benefit equivalent which the Participant is eligible to receive or has received under the pension plan of another employer. The benefit is payable under the plan in a single lump sum at the time benefits are payable under the Qualified Retirement Plan. Payment will be made six months following separation from service to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code.

A&B Executive Survivor/Retirement Benefit Plan:  The Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan was adopted to provide selected executives with supplemental pre-retirement death benefits. The Executive Survivor Plan provides for a pre-retirement death benefit equal to 50 percent of final base compensation payable for 10 years and, at such person’s election upon retirement, either (i) a continuation of such death benefit or (ii) a retirement income benefit equal to 26 percent of final base compensation payable for 10 years. The executive can elect to receive the benefit in a lump sum.  Payment will be made six months following separation from service to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code

(1)  
Contributions reflect amounts paid in 2009 based on 2008 deferrals. These amounts are reported in the Summary Compensation Table as 2008 compensation.
(2)  
Includes the change in value of common stock equivalent units.

Executives that formerly received awards under the Three-Year Performance Improvement Incentive Plan (“Three-Year PIIP”) were able to defer up to 100 percent of their PIIP or Three-Year PIIP award payouts to a future date in the form of cash and/or stock equivalent units. Any cash amounts that were deferred are credited with annually compounded interest equal to the New York Reserve Bank discount rate effective as of January 15 of each year within the deferral period plus 1 percent. Stock equivalent units are credited with dividends and are reinvested to purchase additional common stock equivalents valued at fair market value until such time as the deferral account is paid. Cash payments under the plan are made in a single lump sum or in installments at the election of the participant over a designated period. No awards were made under the Three-Year PIIP in 2008, 2009 or 2010, and the Compensation Committee does not plan to grant any cash awards under the Three-Year PIIP in the near-term.

Other Potential Post-Employment Payments.

Change in Control Agreements:  As described in the CD&A section of this Proxy Statement, A&B has Change in Control Agreements with each of the NEOs in order to encourage their continued employment with A&B by providing them with greater security in the event of termination of their employment following a change in control of A&B. The Company has adopted a participation policy that extends Agreements to only senior level executives whose employment would be most likely at risk upon a Change in Control. Each Change in Control Agreement has an initial one-year term and is automatically extended at the end of each term for a successive one-year period, unless terminated by A&B. The Change in Control Agreements provide for certain severance benefits if the executive’s employment is terminated by A&B without “cause” or by the executive for “good reason” following a “Change in Control Event” of A&B, as defined by Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. Upon termination of employment, the executive will be entitled to receive a lump-sum severance payment equal to two times the sum of the executive’s base salary and target bonus, plus certain awards and amounts under various A&B incentive and deferred compensation plans, and an amount equal to the spread between the exercise price of outstanding options held by the executive and the fair market value at the time of termination. In addition, A&B will maintain all (or provide similar) employee benefit plans for the executive’s continued benefit for a period of two years after termination. A&B will also reimburse executives for individual outplacement counseling services. Formerly, under certain limited circumstances, the Agreements provided for a conditional tax gross-up payment to offset any excise taxes that may become payable under Sections 280G and 4999 of the tax code, if the executive’s employment is terminated without cause or for good reason following a change in control of A&B.  In February of 2010, all executives with Change in Control agreements agreed to modify their agreements to eliminate tax gross-ups.

If there is a potential change in control of the Company, the executive agrees to remain in the employ of the Company until the earliest of (1) a date six months after the occurrence of the potential change in control, (2) the termination of the executive’s employment by reason of disability or retirement, or (3) the occurrence of a change in control of the Company. A “potential change in control of the Company” is deemed to occur if the Company enters into a change in control agreement, any person publicly announces an intention to take actions leading to the change in control of the Company, any person becomes the beneficial owner of 20 percent or more of the voting power of the Company, or the Board adopts a resolution that a potential change in control has occurred.

Executive Severance Plan:  The Company also has an Executive Severance Plan (“Severance Plan”) that covers certain designated executives, including the NEOs. The purpose of the Severance Plan is to retain key employees and to encourage such employees to use their best business judgment in managing the Company’s affairs. The Severance Plan continues from year to year, subject to a periodic review by the Board of Directors. The Severance Plan provides certain severance benefits if a designated executive is involuntarily terminated without “cause” or laid off from employment as part of a job elimination/restructuring or reduction in force. Upon such termination of employment, the executive will be entitled to receive an amount equal to six months’ base salary, payable in equal installments over a period of one year, and designated benefits. If the executive executes an acceptable release agreement, the executive shall receive additional benefits, including an additional six months of base salary and designated benefits, reimbursement for outplacement counseling services and a prorated share of incentive plan awards at target levels that would have been payable to the executive had he or she remained employed until the end of the applicable performance period. Payments under the Severance Plan begin six months after termination for executive officers.

Voluntary Resignation: If the executive voluntarily resigns from the Company, no amounts are payable under the PIIP. The executive may be entitled to receive retirement and retiree health and medical benefits to the extent those benefits have been earned or vested under the provisions of the plans. The executive may have up to three to six months after termination to exercise stock options to the degree vested at the time of termination. In addition, the executive would be entitled to any amounts voluntarily deferred (and the earnings accrued) under the Deferred Compensation Plan, Individual Deferred Compensation Plan and the Profit Sharing Retirement Plan. If applicable, the executive would forfeit any bonus under the Restricted Stock Bonus Plan and the original deferred shares may be repurchased by the Company at the lower of the then fair market value of the shares or the amount of the award applied to the acquisition of the restricted shares.  The Restricted Stock Bonus Plan previously allowed executives receiving awards under the PIIP to receive up to 50 percent of the award in restricted stock, with the possibility of receiving a matching grant of up to 50 percent of additional shares of restricted stock or stock-equivalent units.  In general, all shares paid in restricted stock and any related matching shares granted under the plan did not fully vest until the end of a three-year vesting period.  This plan is no longer in effect.

Other benefits, as described in the CD&A section of this Proxy Statement, may include participation in the A&B Retirement Plan, the A&B Executive Survivor/Retirement Benefit Plan, the A&B Excess Benefits Plan, and the A&B 1985 Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan.

The following tables show the potential value to each executive under various termination-related scenarios.

(1)  
Assumes execution of an acceptable release agreement as provided by the Executive Severance Plan.

(2)  
An executive may retire at age 62 with unreduced retirement benefits under qualified retirement plans.

(3)  
If an NEO is disabled, he will continue to accrue pension benefits as long as he is continuously receiving disability benefits under A&B’s sickness benefits plan or long-term disability benefit plan. Should the NEO stop receiving disability benefits, the accrual of credited vesting service and credited benefit service will cease. Upon the later of attainment of age 65 or the date at which he is no longer eligible for disability benefits, the NEO will be entitled to receive a retirement benefit based on (a) his years of credited benefit service including the period while he had been receiving disability benefits and (b) his compensation determined as if he continued to receive his rate of pay in effect just prior to his becoming disabled for the period he was receiving disability benefits.

(4)  
Employees may elect “Early Retirement” upon attaining 55 years of age, with five years of service or more.

(5)  
Retirement Benefits figures are incremental to the values shown in the Pension Benefits Table, which uses a different set of assumptions as described in the related narrative.

(6)  
Present value of amount paid as an annuity.

(7)  
The Retirement Benefits figures are incremental to the values shown in the Pension Benefits Table. Under certain termination scenarios, benefits reflected in the Pension Benefits Table under the various retirement plans are forfeited, resulting in a negative value.

(8)  
Includes the gain on accelerated stock options and the value of accelerated restricted stock.

(9)  
An NEO receives continued three-year vesting of stock options; under the terms of the 1998 Plan and 2007 Plan, there is no acceleration of Mr. Doane’s restricted stock awards.  see Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End table in this Proxy Statement for vested and unvested equity awards.

All amounts shown are lump-sum payments, unless otherwise noted.  Assumptions used in the tables above include: Discount rates for qualified and non-qualified retirement plans of 6.25 percent and 5.0 percent, respectively; PPA 3-segment lump sum interest rates (with applicable transition weightings and 39 percent marginal tax rate adjustment) of 2.02 percent (for first 5 years), 3.08 percent (next 15 years) and 3.25 percent (years in excess of 20) used for A&B Excess Benefits Plan and A&B 1985 Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan retirement/termination lump sums; PPA 3-segment lump sum interest rates of 3.31 percent (for first 5 years), 5.05 percent (for next 15 years), 5.32 percent (for years in excess of 20) for A&B Executive Survivor/Retirement Benefit Plan retirement/termination lump sums; PPA 3-segment lump sum interest rates (with applicable transition weightings and 38.5 percent marginal tax rate adjustment) of 3.02 percent (for first 5 years), 3.38 percent (next 15 years) and 3.27 percent (years in excess of 20) used for change in control lump sums under A&B Excess Benefits Plan and A&B 1985 Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan; PPA 3-segment lump sum interest rates of 4.91 percent (for first 5 years), 5.5 percent (next 15 years) and 5.31 percent (years in excess of 20) used for change in control lump sums under Executive Survivor/Retirement Benefit Plan; certain mortality assumptions; and a stock price of $34.23. Qualified benefits are assumed to be paid on a life annuity basis. A&B Excess Benefits Plan benefits are paid as a lump sum equal to the present value of the benefit assumed to be paid on a life annuity basis. A&B 1985 Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan benefits are paid as a lump sum equal to the present value of the benefit assumed to be paid on an unreduced 50 percent joint and survivor annuity basis, based on participants’ and spouses’ ages on 12/31/09. A&B Executive Survivor/Retirement Plan benefits are assumed to be paid as a guaranteed 10-year annuity unless an election has been made to receive a lump sum equal to the present value of a guaranteed 10-year annuity, and except when paid as a lump sum for a change in control or termination without cause.

Statements in this section that are not historical facts are “forward-looking statements” that involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking statement.

Executive Transition Agreement with Mr. Andrasick.  In August 2008, Matson entered into an Executive Transition Agreement with Mr. Andrasick under which Mr. Andrasick, who was President and Chief Executive Officer of Matson, would serve as Matson’s Chairman of the Board from October 1, 2008 to August 31, 2009, at which time Mr. Andrasick retired from the Company.  All elements of Mr. Andrasick’s compensation remained the same, including an equity grant in 2009, with the number of options and shares to be determined by the methodology approved by the Compensation Committee and subject to the terms of the 2007 Plan.  After August 31, 2009, Mr. Andrasick is compensated for any consulting services as follows:  (a) for services provided in connection with any litigation, administrative proceedings or investigations, an hourly rate of $400; and (b) for services provided in connection with business-related matters or general consulting, an hourly rate of $600.  Mr. Andrasick also executed a release of claims as part of the Executive Transition Agreement.

Agreement with Mr. Doane.  On October 22, 2009, the Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Doane under which he will be provided office space and parking at the Company’s offices in Honolulu, Hawaii, limited administrative support, and reimbursement for out-of-pocket expenses directly incurred in providing assistance to the Company at its request. Mr. Doane will be compensated for any assistance requested by the Company at an hourly rate of $700.  The agreement commenced on February 1, 2010 when Mr. Doane ceased to be an employee and ends on the later of (i) Mr. Doane’s 65th birthday (January 17, 2013) or (ii) Mr. Doane’s termination or retirement as a director of the Company.

Compensation Committee Report

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the CD&A section of this Proxy Statement with management and, based on these discussions and review, it has recommended to the Board of Directors that the CD&A disclosure be included in this Proxy Statement.

The foregoing report is submitted by Mr. King (Chairman), Dr. Chun, Ms. Shaw and Mr. Watanabe.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

The Audit Committee provides assistance to the Board of Directors in fulfilling its obligations with respect to matters involving the accounting, auditing, financial reporting, internal control and legal compliance functions of A&B, including the review and approval of all related person transactions required to be disclosed in this Proxy Statement. Among other things, the Audit Committee reviews and discusses with management and Deloitte & Touche LLP, A&B’s independent registered public accounting firm, the results of the year-end audit of A&B, including the auditors’ report and audited financial statements. In this context, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed A&B’s audited financial statements with management, has discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended, and, with and without management present, has discussed and reviewed the results of the independent registered public accounting firm’s audit of the financial statements.

The Audit Committee has received the written communication regarding independence from Deloitte & Touche LLP required under the rules of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, and has discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP its independence from A&B. The Audit Committee has determined that the provision of non-audit services rendered by Deloitte & Touche LLP to A&B is compatible with maintaining the independence of Deloitte & Touche LLP from A&B in the conduct of its auditing function.

In compliance with applicable SEC rules, the Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures for Audit Committee approval of audit and non-audit services. Under such policies and procedures, the Audit Committee pre-approves or has delegated to the Chairman of the Audit Committee authority to pre-approve all audit and non-prohibited, non-audit services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm in order to assure that such services do not impair the auditor’s independence. Any additional proposed services or costs exceeding pre-approved cost levels require additional pre-approval as described above. The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members for services not to exceed a specific dollar amount per engagement. Requests for pre-approval include a description of the services to be performed, the fees to be charged and the expected dates that the services will be performed.

Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that A&B’s audited consolidated financial statements be included in A&B’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2009 for filing with the SEC. The Audit Committee also has appointed, subject to shareholder ratification, Deloitte & Touche LLP as A&B’s independent registered public accounting firm.

The foregoing report is submitted by Mr. Pasquale (Chairman), Messrs. Baird and Dods, and Ms. Lau.

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of A&B for the ensuing year, and the Audit Committee recommends that shareholders vote in favor of ratifying such appointment. Deloitte & Touche LLP and its predecessors have served A&B as such since 1957. Representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, where they will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders.

For the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, professional services were performed by Deloitte & Touche LLP (including consolidated affiliates) as follows:

Audit Fees. The aggregate fees billed for the audit of the Company’s annual financial statements, including Sarbanes-Oxley Section 404 attestation-related work, for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 and for the reviews of the financial statements included in the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q were approximately $1,556,000 and $1,605,000, respectively.

Audit-Related Fees. The aggregate fees billed for Audit-Related services for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were approximately $112,000 and $126,000, respectively. The fees related to audits of employee benefit plans for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

Tax Fees. The aggregate fees billed for tax services for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 were approximately $0 and $21,000, respectively. The fees in 2008 related primarily to research performed on tonnage tax.

All Other Fees. There were no aggregate fees for services not included above for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008.

APPROVAL OF THE AMENDED AND RESTATED 2007 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

Subject to shareholder approval, the Compensation Committee recommended and the Board of Directors adopted an amended and restated Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. 2007 Incentive Compensation Plan ("2007 Plan") on January 27, 2010.  The proposed amendments will:

 
·
Increase the number of shares of A&B common stock reserved for issuance under the 2007 Plan by an additional 2,200,000 shares; and

 
·
Increase the number of shares of A&B common stock that may be issued pursuant to tax-favored incentive stock options by the same 2,200,000–share increase to the authorized reserve under the 2007 Plan.

A description of the amended and restated 2007 Plan, incorporating the proposed amendments, is set forth in Appendix A to this Proxy Statement.  The description is intended to be a summary of the material provisions of the 2007 Plan, and does not purport to be complete.  A copy of the 2007 Plan, as amended, will be furnished to any shareholder upon request.

The Board of Directors believes it is necessary for A&B to continue to provide equity incentives in order to attract and retain the services of qualified executives, and to better align their interests with those of shareholders.  The proposed amended and restated 2007 Plan will allow A&B to continue to provide these equity incentives.

Securities authorized for issuance under equity compensation plans as of December 31, 2009, included:

OTHER BUSINESS

The Board of Directors of A&B knows of no other business to be presented for shareholder action at the Annual Meeting. However, should matters other than those included in this Proxy Statement properly come before the Annual Meeting, the proxyholders named in the accompanying proxy will use their best judgment in voting upon them.

Appendix A

DESCRIPTION OF THE ALEXANDER & BALDWIN, INC.
AMENDED AND RESTATED 2007 INCENTIVE COMPENSATION PLAN

Summary Description of the Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. 2007 Incentive Compensation Plan
 
At the 2010 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”), the shareholders are being asked to approve the Company’s amended and restated 2007 Incentive Compensation Plan (the “2007 Plan”). The principal changes that will be effected by the amended and restated 2007 Plan upon such shareholder approval may be summarized as follows:
 
(i)           The number of shares of the Company’s common stock reserved for issuance under the 2007 Plan will be increased by an additional 2,200,000 shares.

(ii)           The number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be issued pursuant to tax-favored incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”) will also be increased by the same 2,200,000–share increase to the authorized reserve under the 2007 Plan.

(iii)           Any accrued dividends or dividend equivalents on performance-based awards will not vest or be paid out unless the applicable performance goals for the underlying awards are attained and will be cancelled if such performance goals are not achieved.

(iv)            No out-of-the-money options may be cashed out without shareholder approval. Such prohibition will be in addition to the pre-existing provision of the 2007 Plan that precludes the repricing of outstanding options without shareholder approval.

(v)           There will be express authorization for certain adjustments to outstanding awards upon a change in control transaction, including the conversion of performance-based awards into service-only vesting awards upon their assumption in a change in control transaction effected prior to the completion of the applicable performance period.

The Board adopted the amended and restated 2007 Plan on January 28, 2010, subject to shareholder approval at the Annual Meeting.

The proposed revisions contemplated by the amended and restated 2007 Plan are designed to assure that the Company will have a sufficient share reserve to fund future equity incentive awards to individuals in its employ or service who are essential to its financial success and long-term growth.  In addition, the 2007 Plan as so amended and restated will continue to provide the Company with the flexibility needed to structure awards in a manner that will attract and retain talented and skilled individuals who have the potential to make significant contributions to the Company’s various lines of business and its overall growth and development.  In addition, as indicated more specifically below, shareholder approval of the amended and restated 2007 Plan will also constitute re-approval of (i) the various performance goals upon which specific vesting targets may be established for awards made under the 2007 Plan that are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code (“Section 162(m)”) and (ii) the per participant limitations imposed under the 2007 Plan on such awards.
 
Should the amended and restated 2007 Plan not be approved by the shareholders, then neither the 2,200,000-share increase to the share reserve nor the corresponding 2,200,000-share increase   to the number of shares that may be issued pursuant to incentive stock option grants will be implemented. However, all of the other revisions effected by the amended and restated 2007 Plan will remain in force and effect, and the 2007 Plan as so revised will continue in full force and effect until its scheduled April 26, 2017 expiration date or any earlier termination date in accordance with the provisions of the 2007 Plan.

The principal terms and provisions of the 2007 Plan, as amended and restated, are summarized below. The summary, however, is not intended to be a complete description of all the terms of the 2007 Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the amended and restated 2007 Plan. Any shareholder who wishes to obtain a copy of the actual plan documents may do so upon written request to the Corporate Secretary at the Company’s principal offices at 822 Bishop Street, Honolulu, Hawaii 96813.
 
Incentive Programs. The 2007 Plan consists of four separate incentive compensation programs: (i) the discretionary grant program, (ii) the stock issuance program, (iii) the incentive bonus program and (iv) the automatic grant program for the non-employee members of the Company’s Board of Directors. The principal features of each program are described below.
 
Administration. The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (either acting directly or through a subcommittee of two or more members) will have the exclusive authority to administer the discretionary grant, stock issuance and incentive bonus programs with respect to awards made to the Company’s executive officers and non-employee Board members and will also have the authority to make awards under those programs to all other eligible individuals. However, the Company’s Board of Directors may at any time appoint a secondary committee of one or more Board members to have separate but concurrent authority with the Compensation Committee to make awards under those programs to individuals other than executive officers and non-employee Board members.  All awards to non-employee directors (other than under the automatic grant program described below) will be made by the Compensation Committee (or a subcommittee thereof) comprised solely of independent directors, and any awards for members of the Compensation Committee (other than under the automatic grant program) must be authorized by a disinterested majority of the independent directors.
 
The term “plan administrator,” as used in this summary, will mean the Company’s Compensation Committee (or subcommittee) and any secondary committee, to the extent each such entity is acting within the scope of its administrative authority under the 2007 Plan.
 
The Compensation Committee will have the limited discretion under the automatic grant program to determine the annual dollar amount to be used to determine the specific number of shares subject to each grant made under that program, up to the maximum dollar amount permissible per grant, but all grants will otherwise be made in strict compliance with the express terms of that program.
 
Eligibility. Officers and employees, as well as independent consultants and contractors, in the Company’s employ or service or in the employ or service of the Company’s parent or subsidiary companies (whether now existing or subsequently established) will be eligible to participate in the discretionary grant, stock issuance and incentive bonus programs.  The non-employee members of the Board of Directors will also be eligible to participate in those three programs as well as the automatic grant program.  As of February 19, 2010, approximately 714 persons (including 9 executive officers) were eligible to participate in the discretionary grant, stock issuance and incentive bonus programs and 8 non-employee Board members were eligible to participate in those programs and the automatic grant program.
 
Securities Subject to 2007 Plan.  4,415,000 shares of the Company’s common stock will be reserved for issuance over the term of the 2007 Plan, including the 2,200,000-share increase for which shareholder approval is being sought at the Annual Meeting.  In addition, as was the case under the original version of the 2007 Plan, should any options currently outstanding under the Company’s predecessor equity plans subsequently terminate unexercised or any stock issuances currently outstanding under those predecessor plans be subsequently forfeited prior to vesting, the number of shares of common stock subject to those terminated options, together with the forfeited shares, will be added to the share reserve available for issuance under the 2007 Plan, up to an additional 750,000 shares.  For such purpose, the Company’s predecessor equity plans will remain limited to (i) the 1998 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan, (ii) the 1998 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan, (iii) the Restricted Stock Bonus Plan and (iv) the Non-Employee Director Stock Retainer Plan (collectively. the “Predecessor Plans”).

As of February 19, 2010, 2,277,450 shares were subject to outstanding options or had been granted as restricted stock or restricted stock units under the 2007 Plan and 2,442,041 shares (including the 2,200,000-share increase to the 2007 Plan which the shareholders are being asked to approve) remained unallocated and available for future awards. It is anticipated that no awards of the Company’s common stock will be granted under the 2007 Plan between February 19, 2010 and the date of the Annual Meeting.  
 
As of February 19, 2010, 1,487,074 shares were subject to outstanding options under the predecessor plans, and 3,859 shares were subject to unvested stock issuances under those plans.
 
Awards made under the 2007 Plan are subject to the following per-participant limitations in order to provide the plan administrator with the opportunity to structure one or more of those awards as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m).
 
· For awards denominated in terms of shares of the Company’s common stock at the time of grant (whether payable in the Company’s common stock, cash or a combination of both), no participant in the 2007 Plan may receive awards for more than 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in any single calendar year, subject to adjustment for subsequent stock splits, stock dividends and similar transactions. Shareholder approval of this proposal will also constitute re-approval of that 500,000-share limitation for purposes Section 162(m). Accordingly, such limitation will assure that any deductions to which the Company would otherwise be entitled upon the exercise of stock options or stock appreciation rights granted under the discretionary grant program will not be subject to the $1 million limitation on the income tax deductibility of compensation paid per executive officer imposed under Section 162(m).  In addition, one or more shares issued under the stock issuance program may also qualify as performance-based compensation that is not subject to the Section 162(m) limitation, if the vesting of those shares is tied to the attainment of the corporate performance milestones discussed below in the summary description of that program.  
 
· For awards denominated in terms of cash dollars at the time of grant  (whether payable in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock, or both), no participant in the 2007 Plan may receive awards with an aggregate dollar value in excess of $5 million in any one calendar year.  Shareholder approval of this proposal will also constitute re-approval of that $5 million limitation for purposes of Section 162(m).  Accordingly, such limitation will assure that any deductions to which the Company would otherwise be entitled upon the payment of cash bonuses or the settlement of performance units will not be subject to the $1 million limitation on the income tax deductibility of compensation paid per executive officer imposed under Section 162(m), to the extent the vesting of those awards is tied to the attainment of one or more of the corporate performance milestones discussed below in the summary description of the stock issuance program.  
 
The shares of common stock issuable under the 2007 Plan may be drawn from shares of the Company’s authorized but unissued common stock or from shares of its common stock that the Company acquire, including shares purchased on the open market or in private transactions.
 
Shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2007 Plan that expire or otherwise terminate prior to the issuance of the shares subject to those awards will be available for subsequent issuance under the 2007 Plan. Any unvested shares issued under the 2007 Plan that are subsequently forfeited or that the Company repurchases, at a price not greater than the original issue price paid per share, pursuant to the Company’s repurchase rights under the 2007 Plan will be added back to the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2007 Plan and will accordingly be available for subsequent awards.
 
There are no net counting provisions in effect under the 2007 Plan.  Accordingly, the following share counting procedures will apply in determining the number of shares of common stock available from time to time for issuance under the 2007 Plan:
 
· Should the exercise price of an option be paid in shares of the Company’s common stock, then the number of shares reserved for issuance under the 2007 Plan will be reduced by the gross number of shares for which that option is exercised, and not by the net number of new shares issued under the exercised option.
 
· Should shares of common stock otherwise issuable under the 2007 Plan be withheld by the Company in satisfaction of the withholding taxes incurred in connection with the issuance, exercise or settlement of an award under the plan, then the number of shares of common stock available for issuance under the 2007 Plan will be reduced by the full number of shares that were issuable under the award, and not by the number of shares actually issued after any such share withholding.
 
· Upon the exercise of any stock appreciation right granted under the 2007 Plan, the share reserve will be reduced by the gross number of shares as to which such stock appreciation right is exercised, and not by the net number of shares actually issued upon such exercise.
 
Equity Incentive Programs
 
Discretionary Grant Program.  Under the discretionary grant program, eligible persons may be granted options to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock or stock appreciation rights tied to the value of the Company’s common stock.  The plan administrator will have complete discretion to determine which eligible individuals are to receive option grants or stock appreciation rights, the time or times when those options or stock appreciation rights are to be granted, the number of shares subject to each such grant, the vesting schedule (if any) to be in effect for the grant, the maximum term for which the granted option or stock appreciation right is to remain outstanding and the status of any granted option as either an incentive stock option or a non-statutory option under the Code.
 
Each granted option will have an exercise price per share determined by the plan administrator, but the exercise price will not be less than one hundred percent of the fair market value of the option shares on the grant date. No granted option will have a term in excess of ten years. The shares subject to each option will generally vest in one or more installments over a specified period of service measured from the grant date. However, one or more options may be structured so that they will be immediately exercisable for any or all of the option shares. The shares acquired under such immediately exercisable options will be subject to repurchase by the Company, at the lower of the exercise price paid per share or the fair market value per share, if the optionee ceases service prior to vesting in those shares.  In addition, one or more awards may be structured so that those awards will vest and become exercisable only after the achievement of pre-established corporate performance objectives.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following limitations apply with respect to the vesting schedules established for awards made under the discretionary grant program: (i) for any award which is to vest in the basis of service, the minimum vesting period is three years, with incremental vesting to occur over that period as determined by the plan administrator, and (ii) for any award which is to vest on the basis of performance objectives, the performance period will  have a duration of at least one year.
 
Upon cessation of service, the optionee will have a limited period of time in which to exercise his or her outstanding options to the extent exercisable for vested shares. The plan administrator will have complete discretion to extend the period following the optionee’s cessation of service during which his or her outstanding options may be exercised, provide for continued vesting during the applicable post-service exercise period and/or to accelerate the exercisability or vesting of such options in whole or in part. Such discretion may be exercised at any time while the options remain outstanding.
 
The 2007 Plan allows the issuance of two types of stock appreciation rights under the discretionary grant program:
 
· Tandem stock appreciation rights granted in conjunction with stock options which provide the holders with the right to surrender the related option grant for an appreciation distribution from the Company in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the fair market value of the vested shares of the Company’s common stock subject to the surrendered option over (ii) the aggregate exercise price payable for those shares.
 
· Stand-alone stock appreciation rights which allow the holders to exercise those rights as to a specific number of shares of the Company’s common stock and receive in exchange an appreciation distribution from the Company in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the fair market value of the shares of common stock as to which those rights are exercised over (ii) the aggregate exercise price in effect for those shares.  The exercise price per share may not be less than the fair market value per share of the Company’s common stock on the date the stand-alone stock appreciation right is granted, and the right may not have a term in excess of ten years.
 
The appreciation distribution on any exercised tandem or stand-alone stock appreciation right may be paid in (i) cash, (ii) shares of the Company’s common stock or (iii) a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, as determined by the plan administrator. Upon cessation of service with the Company, the holder of a stock appreciation right will have a limited period of time in which to exercise such right to the extent exercisable at that time.  The plan administrator has complete discretion to extend the period following the holder’s cessation of service during which his or her outstanding stock appreciation rights may be exercised, provide for continued vesting during the applicable post-service exercise period and/or to accelerate the exercisability or vesting of those stock appreciation rights in whole or in part. Such discretion may be exercised at any time while the stock appreciation right remains outstanding.
 
Repricing/Cash-Out Prohibition. The plan administrator may not implement any of the following repricing/cash-out programs without obtaining shareholder approval:  (i) the cancellation of outstanding options or stock appreciation rights in return for new options or stock appreciation rights with a lower exercise price per share, (ii) the cancellation of outstanding options or stock appreciation rights with exercise prices per share in excess of the then current fair market value per share of the Company’s common stock for consideration payable in cash, equity securities or in the form of any other award under the Plan, except in connection with a change in control transaction, or (iii) the direct reduction of the exercise price in effect for outstanding options or stock appreciation rights.
 
Stock Issuance Program. Shares may be issued under the stock issuance program subject to performance or service vesting requirements established by the plan administrator. Shares may also be issued as a fully-vested bonus for past services without any cash outlay required of the recipient. Shares of the Company’s common stock may also be issued under the program pursuant to restricted stock units which entitle the recipients to receive those shares upon the attainment of designated performance goals or the completion of a prescribed service period or upon the expiration of a designated time period following the vesting of those units, including (without limitation), a deferred distribution date following the termination of the recipient’s service with the Company. Performance shares may also be issued under the program in accordance with the following parameters:
 
(i)      The vesting of the performance shares will be tied to the attainment of corporate performance objectives over a specified performance period, all as established by the plan administrator at the time of the award.
 
(ii)      At the end of the performance period, the plan administrator will determine the actual level of attainment for each performance objective and the extent to which the performance shares awarded for that period are to vest and become payable based on the attained performance levels.

(iii)    The performance shares which so vest will be paid as soon as practicable following the end of the performance period, unless such payment is to be deferred for the period specified by the plan administrator at the time the performance shares are awarded or the period selected by the participant in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”).

(iv)           Performance shares may be paid in cash or shares of common stock.

(v)            Performance shares may also be structured so that the shares are convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, but the rate at which each performance share is to so convert will be based on the attained level of performance for each applicable performance objective.

The plan administrator has complete discretion under the program to determine which eligible individuals are to receive awards under the stock issuance program, the time or times when those awards are to be made, the form of those awards, the number of shares subject to each such award, the vesting schedule (if any) to be in effect for the award, the issuance schedule for the shares which vest under the award and the cash consideration (if any) payable per share.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following limitations will apply with respect to the vesting schedules established for awards made under the stock issuance program to individuals other than the non-employee Board members:  (i) for any award which is to vest on the basis of service, the minimum vesting period is three years, with incremental vesting to occur over that period as determined by the plan administrator, and (ii) for any award which is to vest on the basis of performance objectives, the performance period will  have a duration of at least one year.  However, awards made under the 2007 Plan to non-employee Board members will be subject to a minimum vesting period of one year, with no greater than monthly pro-rated vesting over that period.
 
In order to assure that the compensation attributable to one or more awards made under the program will qualify as performance-based compensation which will not be subject to the $1 million limitation on the income tax deductibility of the compensation paid per executive officer which is imposed under Section 162(m), the plan administrator also has the discretionary authority to structure one or more awards so that the shares of common stock subject to those awards will vest only upon the achievement of certain pre-established corporate performance goals based on one or more of the following criteria:  (i) cash flow; (ii) earnings  (including gross margin, earnings before interest and taxes, earnings before taxes, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, amortization and charges for stock-based compensation, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, and net earnings); (iii) earnings per share; (iv) growth in earnings or earnings per share; (v) stock price; (vi) return on equity or average shareholder equity; (vii) total shareholder return or growth in total shareholder return either directly or in relation to a comparative group; (viii) return on capital; (ix) return on assets or net assets; (x) invested capital, required rate of return on capital or return on invested capital; (xi) revenue, growth in revenue or return on sales; (xii) income or net income; (xiii) operating income, net operating income or net operating income after tax; (xiv) operating profit or net operating profit; (xv) operating margin; (xvi) return on operating revenue or return on operating profit; (xvii) collections and recoveries, (xviii) property purchases, sales, investments and construction goals, (xix) application approvals, (xx) litigation and regulatory resolution goals, (xxi) occupancy or occupancy rates, (xxii) leases, contracts or financings, including renewals, (xxiii) overhead, savings, G&A and other expense control goals, (xxiv) budget comparisons, (xxv) growth in shareholder value relative to the growth of the S&P 400 or S&P 400 Index, the S&P Global Industry Classification Standards ("GICS") or GICS Index, or another peer group or peer group index; (xxvi) credit rating; (xxvii) development and implementation of strategic plans and/or organizational restructuring goals, (xxviii) development and implementation of risk and crisis management programs; (xxix) improvement in workforce diversity; (xxx) net cost per ton, (xxxi) price per container or average price per container, (xxxii) voyage days or vessel scheduling, (xxxiii) lift volume of containers, volume of containers, number of units or size of units, (xxxiv) compliance requirements and compliance relief; (xxxv) safety goals, (xxxvi) productivity goals; (xxxvii) workforce management and succession planning goals, (xxxviii) economic value added (including typical adjustments consistently applied from generally accepted accounting principles required to determine economic value added performance measures); (xxxix) measures of customer satisfaction, employee satisfaction or staff development; (xl) development or marketing collaborations, formations of partnerships or joint ventures or the completion of other similar transactions intended to enhance the Company’s revenue or profitability or enhance its customer base; (xli) merger and acquisitions, and (xlii) other similar criteria consistent with the foregoing. In addition, such performance criteria may be based upon the attainment of specified levels of the Company’s performance under one or more of the measures described above relative to the performance of other entities and may also be based on the performance of any of the Company’s business units or divisions or any parent or subsidiary.  Each applicable performance goal may include a minimum threshold level of performance below which no award will be earned, levels of performance at which specified portions of an award will be earned and a maximum level of performance at which an award will be fully earned. Each applicable performance goal may be structured at the time of the award to provide for appropriate adjustment for one or more of the following items: (A) asset impairments or write-downs; (B) litigation judgments or claim settlements; (C) the effect of changes in tax law, accounting principles or other such laws or provisions affecting reported results; (D) accruals for reorganization and restructuring programs; (E) any extraordinary nonrecurring items; (F) the operations of any business the Company acquires; (G) the divestiture of one or more business operations or the assets thereof, or (H) any other adjustment consistent with the operation of the 2007 Plan.
 
Shareholder approval of this proposal will also constitute re-approval of the foregoing performance goals for purposes of establishing the specific vesting targets for one or more awards under the Plan that are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m).

Outstanding awards under the stock issuance program will automatically terminate, and no shares of the Company’s common stock will actually be issued in satisfaction of those awards, if the performance goals or service requirements established for such awards are not attained. However, subject to the limitations indicated below, the plan administrator will have the discretionary authority to issue shares of the Company’s common stock in satisfaction of one or more outstanding awards as to which the designated performance goals or service requirements are not attained. However, no vesting requirements tied to the attainment of performance objectives may be waived with respect to awards which were intended at the time of issuance to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m), except in the event of the participant’s death or disability or upon a change in control of the company, as described under the heading “General Provisions – Vesting Acceleration.”  In addition, the waiver of the vesting requirements of any other awards under the stock issuance program can only be effected in connection with (i) the participant’s cessation of service by reason of death, disability, retirement or involuntary termination or (ii) the consummation of a change in control transaction.
 
Incentive Bonus Program.  Cash bonus awards, performance unit awards and dividend equivalent rights may be awarded under the incentive bonus program. Cash bonus awards will vest over an eligible individual’s designated service period or upon the attainment of pre-established performance goals. Performance unit awards will be subject to the following parameters:

(i)           A performance unit will represent a participating interest in a special bonus pool tied to the attainment of pre-established corporate performance objectives based on one or more performance goals described above in the description of the stock issuance program. The amount of the bonus pool may vary with the level at which the applicable performance objectives are attained, and the value of each performance unit which becomes due and payable upon the attained level of performance will be determined by dividing the amount of the resulting bonus pool (if any) by the total number of performance units issued and outstanding at the completion of the applicable performance period.

(ii)           Performance units may also be structured to include a service-vesting requirement which the participant must satisfy following the completion of the performance period in order to vest in the performance units awarded with respect to that performance period.
 
(iii)           Performance units which become due and payable following the attainment of the applicable performance objectives and the satisfaction of any applicable service-vesting requirement may be paid in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock valued at fair market value on the payment date, as determined by the plan administrator.

Dividend equivalent rights may be issued as stand-alone awards or in tandem with other awards made under the 2007 Plan.  Each dividend equivalent right award will represent the right to receive the economic equivalent of each dividend or distribution, whether in cash, securities or other property (other than shares of the Company’s common stock) which is made per issued and outstanding share of common stock during the term the dividend equivalent right remains outstanding. Payment of the amounts attributable to such dividend equivalent rights may be made either concurrently with the actual dividend or distribution made per issued and outstanding share of the Company’s common stock or may be deferred to a later date.  Payment may be made in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock, as determined by the plan administrator.  In no event, however, will any dividend equivalent rights made with respect to an award subject to performance-vesting requirements vest or become payable prior to the vesting of that award upon the attainment of the applicable performance goals and will, accordingly, be subject to cancellation and forfeiture to the same extent as the underlying award in the event the performance goals are not attained.

The plan administrator has complete discretion under the program to determine which eligible individuals are to receive such awards under the program, the time or times when those awards are to be made, the form of each such award, the performance objectives for each such award, the amount payable at one or more designated levels of attained performance, any applicable service vesting requirements, the payout schedule for each such award and the method by which the award is to be settled (cash or shares of the Company’s common stock).
 
In order to assure that the compensation attributable to one or more awards under the program will qualify as performance-based compensation which will not be subject to the $1 million limitation on the income tax deductibility of the compensation paid per executive officer which is imposed under Section 162(m), the plan administrator also has the discretionary authority to structure one or more awards under the incentive bonus program so that those awards will vest only upon the achievement of certain pre-established corporate performance goals based on one or more of the performance goals described above in the summary of the stock issuance program.
 
The plan administrator has the discretionary authority at any time to accelerate the vesting of any and all awards outstanding under the incentive bonus program.  However, no vesting requirements tied to the attainment of performance objectives may be waived with respect to awards which were intended at the time of issuance to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m), except in the event of the participant’s death or disability or upon a change in control as described under the heading “General Provisions – Vesting Acceleration.”
 
Automatic Grant Program.  Under the automatic grant program, each individual will, at the time he or she first becomes a non-employee Board member, automatically receive a restricted stock unit award covering that number of shares of the Company’s common stock determined by dividing the applicable dollar amount by the fair market value per share of the Company’s common stock on such date, provided such individual has not been in the Company’s employ during the immediately preceding twelve months.  In addition, on the date of each annual shareholders meeting, each individual serving as a non-employee Board member at that time will automatically be granted a restricted stock unit award covering that number of shares of the Company’s common stock determined by dividing an applicable dollar amount by the fair market value per share of the Company’s common stock on such date, provided such individual has served as a non-employee Board member for at least six months.
 
The applicable dollar amounts subject to each such initial or annual restricted stock unit award will be determined by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (or a subcommittee thereof), but will not exceed $300,000. Accordingly, the size of the initial restricted stock unit grant may vary as to each new non-employee Board member, and the size of the annual restricted stock unit grants may vary from year to year.  For each non-employee Board member re-elected at the Annual Meeting, the Company’s Compensation Committee has set the applicable dollar amount at $100,000 for the annual grant, and it is currently anticipated that any newly-appointed or elected non-employee Board member would receive an automatic restricted stock unit grant with the same dollar amount.
 
Each initial and annual restricted stock unit grant will vest in three successive equal annual installments upon the non-employee Board member’s completion of each year of Board service over the three-year period measured from the grant date.  However, the shares will immediately vest in full upon the non-employee Board member’s death or disability while a Board member, retirement at or after the age of seventy-two or the occurrence of certain changes in ownership or control.  The shares of common stock underlying each initial or annual restricted stock unit award which vests in accordance with the foregoing vesting provisions will be issued as they vest.  However, future awards may be structured so as to allow the non-employee Board members to defer, in accordance with the applicable requirements of Section 409A and the regulations thereunder, the issuance of the shares beyond the vesting date to a designated date or until cessation of Board service or an earlier change in control.
 
Should any dividend or other distribution payable other than in shares of the Company’s common stock be declared and paid on the Company’s common stock while an initial or annual restricted stock unit award is outstanding, then a special book account shall be established for the non-employee director holding the award and credited with a phantom dividend equivalent to the actual dividend or distribution which would have been paid on the shares subject to the restricted stock unit award had they been issued and outstanding and entitled to that dividend or distribution.  The amount attributable to phantom dividend equivalents will vest and be distributed to the non-employee director (in cash or such other form as the plan administrator may deem appropriate in its sole discretion) concurrently with the vesting and issuance of the shares to which those phantom dividend equivalents relate.

New Plan Benefits
 
As of February 19, 2010, no awards had been made under the Plan on the basis of the 2,200,000-share increase for which shareholder approval is being sought as part of this Proposal.
 
General Provisions
 
Vesting Acceleration. In the event the Company should experience a change in control, the following special vesting acceleration provisions will be in effect for all outstanding awards under the discretionary grant and stock issuance programs (only paragraph (iv) applies to the incentive bonus program):
 
(i)             Each outstanding award will automatically accelerate in full upon a change in control, if that award is not assumed or otherwise continued in effect by the successor corporation or replaced with a cash incentive program which preserves the intrinsic value of the award and provides for the subsequent vesting and concurrent payout of that value in accordance with the same vesting schedule in effect for that award.
 
(ii)           To the extent any outstanding award is subject to performance vesting upon the attainment of one or more specified performance goals, then upon the assumption, continuation or replacement of that award in a change in  control transaction, the performance vesting condition will terminate,  and such award will thereupon be converted into a service-vesting award that will vest upon the completion of a service period co-terminous with the portion of the performance period (and any subsequent service-vesting component that was part of the original award) remaining at the time of the change in control.

 (iii)             The plan administrator will have complete discretion to grant one or more awards which will vest in the event the individual’s service with the Company or the successor entity terminates within a designated period following a change in control transaction in which those awards are assumed or otherwise continued in effect.
 
(iv)             The plan administrator will have the discretion to structure one or more awards so that those awards will immediately vest upon a change in control, whether or not they are to be assumed or otherwise continued in effect.
 
(v)             Unless the plan administrator establishes a different definition for one or more awards, a change in control will be deemed to occur for purposes of the 2007 Plan in the event (a) the Company is acquired by merger or asset sale, (b) there occurs any transaction or series of related transactions pursuant to which any person or group of related persons acquires, directly or indirectly, beneficial ownership of securities possessing (or convertible into or exercisable for securities possessing) thirty-five percent (35%) or more of the total combined voting power of the Company’s outstanding securities or (c) a change in a majority of the membership of the Board over a period of less than twelve (12) months that is not approved by the current membership of the Board or their approved successors.
 
The plan administrator’s authority above extends to any awards intended to qualify as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m), even though the accelerated vesting of those awards may result in their loss of performance-based status under Section 162(m).
 
Changes in Capitalization. In the event any change is made to the outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination of shares, exchange of shares, spin-off transaction or other change in corporate structure effected without the Company’s receipt of consideration or should the value of the Company’s outstanding shares of common stock be substantially reduced by reason of a spin-off transaction or extraordinary dividend or distribution, equitable adjustments will be made to: (i) the maximum number and/or class of securities issuable under the 2007 Plan; (ii) the maximum number and/or class of securities by which the share reserve may increase by reason of the expiration or termination of unexercised options or the forfeiture of shares under the predecessor plans, (iii) the maximum number and/or class of securities that may be issued pursuant to incentive stock options granted under the 2007 Plan, (iv) the maximum number and/or class of securities for which any one person may be granted common stock-denominated awards under the 2007 Plan per calendar year; (v) the number and/or class of securities and the exercise price per share in effect for outstanding awards under the discretionary grant program, (vi) the number and/or class of securities subject to each outstanding award under the stock issuance and automatic grant programs and the cash consideration (if any) payable per share, (vii) the number and/or class of securities for which awards may subsequently be made to new and continuing non-employee Board members under the automatic grant program, and (viii) the number and/or class of securities subject to each outstanding award under the incentive bonus program denominated in shares of the Company’s common stock.  Such adjustments will be made in such manner as the plan administrator deems appropriate in order to preclude any dilution or enlargement of benefits under the 2007 Plan or the outstanding awards thereunder.
 
Valuation. The fair market value per share of the Company’s common stock on any relevant date under the 2007 Plan will be deemed to be equal to the closing selling price per share on that date on the New York Stock Exchange.  On February 19, 2010, the fair market value per share of the Company’s common stock determined on such basis was $32.64.
 
Shareholder Rights and Transferability. No optionee will have any shareholder rights with respect to the option shares until such optionee has exercised the option and paid the exercise price for the purchased shares.  The holder of a stock appreciation right will not have any shareholder rights with respect to the shares subject to that right unless and until such person exercises the right and becomes the holder of record of any shares of the Company’s common stock distributed upon such exercise. Options are not assignable or transferable other than by will or the laws of inheritance following optionee’s death, and during the optionee’s lifetime, the option may only be exercised by the optionee. However, the plan administrator may structure one or more non-statutory options under the 2007 Plan so that those options will be transferable during optionee’s lifetime by a gratuitous transfer to one or more members of the optionee’s family or to a trust established for the optionee and/or one or more such family members or to the optionee’s former spouse pursuant to a domestic relations order.  Stand alone stock appreciation rights will be subject to the same transferability restrictions applicable to non-statutory options.
 
A participant will have full shareholder rights with respect to any shares of common stock issued to him or her under the 2007 Plan, whether or not his or her interest in those shares is vested. A participant will not have any shareholder rights with respect to the shares of common stock subject to a restricted stock unit or performance share award until that award vests and the shares of common stock are actually issued thereunder.  However, dividend-equivalent units may be paid or credited, either in cash or in actual or phantom shares of common stock, on outstanding restricted stock units or performance shares, subject to such terms and conditions as the plan administrator may deem appropriate.  In no event, however, will any dividends or dividend-equivalent units relating to awards subject to performance-vesting conditions vest or otherwise become payable prior to the time the performance conditions are attained and will accordingly be subject to cancellation and forfeiture to the same extent as the underlying award in the event those performance conditions are not attained.
 
Tax Election. The plan administrator may provide one or more holders of awards under the 2007 Plan with the right to have the Company withhold a portion of the shares otherwise issuable to such individuals in satisfaction of the withholding taxes to which they become subject in connection with the issuance, exercise or settlement of those awards, or the plan administrator may instead structure one or more awards so that they automatically provide for such share withholding by the Company  Alternatively, the plan administrator may allow such individuals to deliver previously acquired shares of the Company’s common stock in payment of such withholding tax liability.
 
 Deferral Programs.  One of more of the following deferral programs may be implemented under the 2007 Plan:
 
A.           The plan administrator may, structure one or more awards under the stock issuance or incentive bonus programs so that the participants may be provided with an election to defer the compensation associated with those awards for federal income tax purposes.

B.           The plan administrator may implement a non-employee Board member retainer fee deferral program that allows the non-employee Board members the opportunity to elect, prior to the start of each calendar year, to convert the Board and Board committee retainer fees to be earned for that year into restricted stock units under the stock issuance program that defer the issuance of the shares of common stock that vest under those restricted stock units until  a permissible date or event under Section 409A.

C.           To the extent the Company maintains one or more separate non-qualified deferred compensation arrangements which allow the participants the opportunity to make notional investments of their deferred account balances in shares of the Company’s common stock, the plan administrator may authorize the share reserve under the 2007 Plan to serve as the source of any shares of common stock that become payable under those deferred compensation arrangements.  In such event, the share reserve under the 2007 Plan will be reduced on a share-for-one share basis for each share of common stock issued under the 2007 Plan in settlement of the deferred compensation owed under those separate arrangements.
 

 
Amendment and Termination. The Company’s Board of Directors may amend or modify the 2007 Plan at any time; provided, however, that shareholder approval will be required for any amendment which would (i) materially increase the number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance under the 2007 Plan (other than in connection with certain changes to the Company’s capital structure as explained above), (ii) materially increase the benefits accruing to participants, (iii) materially expand the class of individuals eligible to participate in the 2007 Plan, (iv) expand the types of awards which may be made under the 2007 Plan, (v) extend the term of the 2007 Plan, (vi) reduce or limit the scope of the prohibition on repricing programs set forth in the 2007 Plan or otherwise eliminate such prohibition or (vii) effect any other change or modification for which shareholder approval is required under applicable law or regulation or pursuant to the listing standards of the stock exchange on which the Company’s common stock is at the time primarily traded. Unless sooner terminated by the Company’s Board of Directors, the 2007 Plan will terminate on the earliest of (i) April 26, 2017, (ii) the date on which all shares available for issuance under the 2007 Plan have been issued as fully-vested shares or (iii) the termination of all outstanding awards in connection with certain changes in control or ownership.
 
Summary of Federal Income Tax Consequences
 
The following is a summary of the Federal income taxation treatment applicable to the Company and the participants who receive awards under the 2007 Plan.
 
Option Grants. Options granted under the discretionary grant program may be either incentive stock options which satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code or non-statutory options which are not intended to meet such requirements. The Federal income tax treatment for the two types of options differs as follows:
 
Incentive Options. No taxable income is recognized by the optionee at the time of the option grant, and no taxable income is recognized for regular tax purposes at the time the option is exercised, although taxable income may arise at that time for alternative minimum tax purposes. The optionee will recognize taxable income in the year in which the purchased shares are sold or otherwise made the subject of certain other dispositions. For Federal tax purposes, dispositions are divided into two categories: (i) qualifying, and (ii) disqualifying. A qualifying disposition occurs if the sale or other disposition is made more than two (2) years after the date the option for the shares involved in such sale or disposition is granted and more than one (1) year after the date the option is exercised for those shares. If the sale or disposition occurs before these two periods are satisfied, then a disqualifying disposition will result.
 
Upon a qualifying disposition, the optionee will recognize long-term capital gain in an amount equal to the excess of (i) the amount realized upon the sale or other disposition of the purchased shares over (ii) the exercise price paid for the shares. If there is a disqualifying disposition of the shares, then the excess of (i) the fair market value of those shares on the exercise date or (if less) the amount  realized upon such sale or disposition over (ii) the exercise price paid for the shares will be taxable as ordinary income to the optionee. Any additional gain recognized upon the disposition will be a capital gain.
 
If the optionee makes a disqualifying disposition of the purchased shares, then the Company will be entitled to an income tax deduction, for the taxable year in which such disposition occurs, equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the optionee as a result of the disposition.  The Company will not be entitled to any income tax deduction if the optionee makes a qualifying disposition of the shares.
 
Non-Statutory Options. No taxable income is recognized by an optionee upon the grant of a non-statutory option. The optionee will in general recognize ordinary income, in the year in which the option is exercised, equal to the excess of the fair market value of the purchased shares on the exercise date over the exercise price paid for the shares, and the optionee will be required to satisfy the tax withholding requirements applicable to such income. The Company will be entitled to an income tax deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the optionee with respect to the exercised non-statutory option. The deduction will in general be allowed for the Company’s taxable year in which such ordinary income is recognized by the optionee.
 
Stock Appreciation Rights. No taxable income is recognized upon receipt of a stock appreciation right.  The holder will recognize ordinary income in the year in which the stock appreciation right is exercised, in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the underlying shares of common stock on the exercise date over the exercise price, and the holder will be required to satisfy the tax withholding requirements applicable to such income. The Company will be entitled to an income tax deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the holder in connection with the exercise of the stock appreciation right. The deduction will be allowed for the taxable year in which such ordinary income is recognized.
 
Restricted Stock Awards. The recipient of unvested shares of common stock issued under the 2007 Plan will not recognize any taxable income at the time those shares are issued but will have to report as ordinary income, as and when those shares subsequently vest, an amount equal to the excess of (i) the fair market value of the shares on the vesting date over (ii) the cash consideration (if any) paid for the shares. The recipient may, however, elect under Section 83(b) of the Code to include as ordinary income in the year the unvested shares are issued an amount equal to the excess of (i) the fair market value of those shares on the issue date over (ii) the cash consideration (if any) paid for such shares. If the Section 83(b) election is made, the recipient will not recognize any additional income as and when the shares subsequently vest. The Company will be entitled to an income tax deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the recipient with respect to the restricted stock award. The deduction will in general be allowed for the Company’s taxable year in which such ordinary income is recognized by the recipient.
 
Restricted Stock Units.  No taxable income is recognized upon receipt of restricted stock units.  The holder will recognize ordinary income in the year in which the shares subject to the units are actually issued to the holder. The amount of that income will be equal to the fair market value of the shares on the date of issuance, and the holder will be required to satisfy the tax withholding requirements applicable to such income. The Company will be entitled to an income tax deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the holder at the time the shares are issued. The deduction will be allowed for the taxable year in which such ordinary income is recognized.
 
Cash Awards.  The payment of a cash award will result in the recipient’s recognition of ordinary income equal to the dollar amount received. The recipient will be required to satisfy the tax withholding requirements applicable to such income. The Company will be entitled to an income tax deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the holder at the time the cash award is paid. The deduction will be allowed for the taxable year in which such ordinary income is recognized.
 
Performance Units.  No taxable income is recognized upon receipt of performance units.  The holder will recognize ordinary income in the year in which the performance units are settled.  The amount of that income will be equal to the fair market value of the shares of common stock or cash received in settlement of the performance units, and the holder will be required to satisfy the tax withholding requirements applicable to such income. The Company will be entitled to an income tax deduction equal to the amount of the ordinary income recognized by the holder of the performance units at the time those units are settled.  That deduction will be allowed for the taxable year in which such ordinary income is recognized.
 
Dividend Equivalent Rights.  No taxable income is recognized upon receipt of a dividend equivalent right award.  The holder will recognize ordinary income in the year in which a payment pursuant to such right, whether in cash, securities or other property, is made to the holder.  The amount of that income will be equal to the fair market value of the cash, securities or other property received, and the holder will be required to satisfy the tax withholding requirements applicable to such income. The Company will be entitled to an income tax deduction equal to the amount of the ordinary income recognized by the holder of the dividend equivalent right award at the time the dividend or distribution is paid to such holder.  That deduction will be allowed for the taxable year in which such ordinary income is recognized.
 
Deductibility of Executive Compensation. The Company anticipates that any compensation deemed paid by it in connection with the exercise of non-statutory options or stock appreciation rights or the disqualifying disposition of incentive stock option shares will qualify as performance-based compensation for purposes of Section 162(m) and will not have to be taken into account for purposes of the $1 million limitation per covered individual on the deductibility of the compensation paid to certain of the Company’s executive officers. Accordingly, the compensation deemed paid with respect to options and stock appreciation rights granted under the 2007 Plan will remain deductible by the Company without limitation under Section 162(m). However, any compensation deemed paid by the Company in connection with shares issued under the stock issuance program or shares or cash issued under the incentive bonus program will be subject to the $1 million limitation, unless the issuance of the shares or cash is tied to the attainment of one or more of the performance milestones described above.
 
Accounting Treatment. The accounting principles applicable to awards made under the 2007 Plan may be summarized in general terms as follows:

Pursuant to the accounting standards under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718, the Company will be required to expense all share-based payments, including grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units and all other stock-based awards under the 2007 Plan. Accordingly, stock options and stock appreciation rights which are granted to the Company’s employees and non-employee Board members and payable in shares of the Company’s common stock will have to be valued at fair value as of the grant date under an appropriate valuation formula, and that value will then have to be charged as a direct compensation expense against the Company’s reported earnings over the requisite service period.  For shares issuable upon the vesting of restricted stock units awarded under the 2007 Plan, the Company will be required to amortize over the requisite service period a compensation cost equal to the fair market value of the underlying shares on the date of the award.  If any other shares are unvested at the time of their direct issuance, then the fair market value of those shares at that time will be charged to the Company’s reported earnings ratably over the requisite service period. Such accounting treatment for restricted stock units and direct stock issuances will generally be applicable whether vesting is tied to service periods or performance goals, although for performance-based awards, the grant date fair value will initially be determined on the basis of the probable outcome of performance goal attainment.  The issuance of a fully-vested stock bonus will result in an immediate charge to the Company’s earnings equal to the fair market value of the bonus shares on the issuance date.

For performance units awarded under the 2007 Plan,  the Company will be required to amortize the dollar value of those units (whether eventually settled in cash or shares of the Company’s common stock) over the applicable performance period and any subsequent service vesting period.  Dividends or dividend equivalents paid on vested awards will be charged against the Company’s retained earnings.  However, if the award holder is not required to return the dividends or dividend equivalents paid on unvested shares underlying an outstanding award if that award is subsequently forfeited, the dividends or dividend equivalents paid on any such award that does not vest will be recognized by the Company as additional compensation cost.
 
Finally, it should be noted that the compensation expense accruable for performance-based awards under the 2007 Plan will, in general, be subject to adjustment to reflect the actual outcome of the applicable performance goals, and any expenses accrued for such performance-based awards will be reversed if the performance goals are not met, unless those performance goals are deemed to constitute market conditions (i.e., because they are  tied to the price of the Company’s common stock) under FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718.
