Item 8.01               Other Events.

 

On April 19, 2011, Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”) relating to its Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on May 31, 2011.  The Proxy Statement noted that Lawrence Hershfield, who is the Chairman of our Board of Directors, also held the positions of chief executive officer and president commencing in 2004 and ending in June 2005, when he was succeeded by our current chief executive officer and president, Mark Dunkerley.  The purpose of this filing is to clarify that Mr. Hershfield served as our chief executive officer and president in an interim capacity.  This enhanced disclosure is intended to provide additional information to institutional proxy advisers, who make their own determinations regarding the independence of the non-employee members of our board of directors.

 

Specifically, with respect to Mr. Hershfield, we wish to note the following points regarding his tenure as our interim chief executive officer and president:

 

·                  Mr. Hershfield served as our interim chief executive officer and interim president from June 14, 2004 through June 2, 2005, a period of less than one year.

·                  It was intended from the outset that Mr. Hershfield’s tenure as chief executive officer and president was temporary, until a bankruptcy plan could be confirmed and Mr. Dunkerley could be appointed chief executive officer and president.

·                  Mr. Hershfield did not have an employment agreement with the Company.
