Bank of Hawaii's success largely depends on maintaining stability among its senior executives and properly executing the company's well-defined succession planning objectives. With the retirement of Vice Chair and Chief Commercial Officer Wayne Y. Hamano, named executive officer James C. Polk has assumed the responsibilities of Vice Chair and Chief Banking Officer. In this new role, Mr. Polk will oversee Commercial Banking, Trust Services Group, Cash Management, Merchant Services and Corporate Facilities.

In recognition of his expanded role, and to ensure that Mr. Polk remains with the Company for the foreseeable future, on January 21, 2022, the Human Resources and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company approved a grant to Mr. Polk of 45,704 shares of Restricted Stock pursuant to its Supplemental Restricted Stock Grant Program.
