AWARD SUMMARY

 

Participant

                                        

 

 

Award Date:

                                , 20      

 

 

Performance
Shares:

The number of shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to the Award shall be determined in accordance with the Vesting Schedule below. For purposes of the percentage calculations set forth in the Performance Vesting section of such schedule, the number of shares of Common Stock to be utilized is                      shares (the “Performance Shares”).

 

 

Vesting Schedule:

The number of shares of Common Stock which may actually vest and become issuable pursuant to the Award shall be determined pursuant to a two-step process: (i) first there shall be calculated the maximum number of shares of Common Stock in which Participant can vest under the Performance Vesting section below based upon (A) the actual level at which the Performance Goal specified on attached Schedule I is attained and (B) any adjustment by reason of the relative TSR Modifier specified on attached Schedule I and (ii) then the number of shares calculated under clause (i) in which Participant may actually vest shall be determined on the basis of his or her satisfaction of the applicable Service vesting requirements set forth in the form Performance Share Award Agreement.

 

 

 

Performance Vesting:  Attached Schedule I specifies the Performance Goal, the TSR Modifier and Performance Period established for the Award.

 

 

 

Performance Goal:  For the Performance Goal, there are three designated levels of attainment set forth in Schedule I: Threshold, Target and Extraordinary.  Within sixty (60) days after the completion of the Performance Period, the Plan Administrator shall determine and certify the actual level of attainment for the Performance Goal and shall then measure that level of attainment against the Threshold, Target and Extraordinary

 



 

 

Levels set forth for that Performance Goal in attached Schedule I.  The maximum number of shares of Common Stock in which Participant can vest based upon the actual level of attainment of such Performance Goal shall initially be determined by applying the corresponding percentage below for that level of attainment to the number of Designated Shares set forth above:

 

 

 

Attainment below the Threshold Level:                     % of the Performance Shares

 

Attainment at the Threshold Level:                            % of the Performance Shares

 

Attainment at the Target Level:                                                                                                        % of the Performance Shares

 

Attainment at Extraordinary Level:                     % of the Performance Shares

 

 

 

To the extent the actual level of attainment of the Performance Goal is at a point between the Threshold and Target Levels, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock in which Participant can vest shall be pro-rated between the two points on a straight line basis.

 

 

 

To the extent the actual level of attainment of a Performance Goal is at a point between the Target and Extraordinary Levels, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock in which Participant can vest shall be pro-rated between the two points on a straight line basis.

 

 

 

TSR Modifier:  After the number of shares of Common Stock in which Participant can vest based on the level of attainment of the Performance Goal is determined, the relative TSR Modifier may either increase or decrease the number of shares from +      % to -      %.

 

 

 

Performance-Qualified Shares:  The maximum number of shares of Common Stock in which Participant can vest on the basis of the foregoing performance measures (as adjusted by the TSR Modifier) shall be hereinafter designated the “Performance-Qualified Shares” and shall in no event exceed in the aggregate           % of the number of Designated Shares set forth in the Number of Shares Subject to Award section above.

 

 

 

Service Vesting.  The number of Performance-Qualified Shares in which Participant actually vests shall be determined on the basis of his or her satisfaction of the Service-vesting requirements set forth in Paragraph 3 of the form Performance Share Award Agreement.  

 

Participant understands and agrees that the Award is granted subject to and in accordance with the terms of the Plan and hereby agrees to be bound by the terms of the Plan and the terms of the Award as set forth in the form Performance Share Award Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A.  A copy of the Plan is available upon request made to the Human Resources Department at the Corporation’s principal offices (1411 Sand Island Parkway, Honolulu, HI 96819).

PERFORMANCE PERIOD, PERFORMANCE GOAL, LEVELS OF ATTAINMENT AND TSR MODIFIER

 

PERFORMANCE PERIOD

 

The Performance Period shall be the three (3)-year period beginning                                          and ending                                         .

 

PERFORMANCE GOAL — RETURN ON INVESTED CAPITAL

 

The performance vesting requirement for this Award shall be tied to the level of attainment of the Average ROIC for the Performance Period. The required levels of attainment of Average ROIC for the Performance Period at the Threshold, Target and Extraordinary Levels are as follows:

 

Threshold Level:

“Annual ROIC” for a calendar year shall be the percentage determined as follows:

 

Net Income After Tax + After Tax Interest Expense

 x 100

Average Debt + Average Total Shareholders’ Equity

 

Annual ROIC for a calendar year shall be calculated on a consolidated basis with the Corporation’s consolidated subsidiaries for U.S. financial reporting purposes and shall be determined on the basis of the Corporation’s audited financial statements for such year prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, subject to any adjustments as determined by the Plan Administrator that are needed to accurately reflect the performance of the Corporation (e.g., because of changes in accounting rules, extraordinary gains from the sale of the Corporation’s assets, unforeseen extraordinary events affecting the Corporation or any of its business operations, or other similar or dissimilar circumstances occurring during the Performance Period that may or may not have been beyond the control of the Corporation).

 

“Average Debt” for a calendar year means the average of the Debt at the beginning of the year and Debt at the end of the year.

Unless otherwise defined above or in the Notice of Award of Performance Shares to which this Schedule is attached, capitalized terms used in this Schedule shall be construed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the Unites States.

 

TSR MODIFIER

 

The number of shares which are to vest based on attainment of the Performance Goal shall be modified based on the percentile level at which the total shareholder return to the Corporation’s shareholders over the Performance Period stands relative to the total shareholder return realized for that period by the companies comprising the S&P Transportation Select Industry Index and S&P MidCap 400 Index (with each index weighted 50%) as follows:

For such purpose, the total shareholder return (“TSR”) for the Corporation’s stockholders shall be determined pursuant to the following formula:

TSR =

(Ending Stock Price* - Beginning Stock Price**) + Reinvested Dividends***

 

 

Beginning Stock Price**

 

 


*  Ending Stock Price is the average daily closing price per share of the Common Stock calculated for the last thirty (30) days within the Performance Period.

 

**  Beginning Stock Price is the average daily closing price per share of the Common Stock calculated for the thirty (30)-day period immediately preceding the commencement date of the Performance Period.

 

*** Reinvested Dividends shall be calculated by multiplying (i) the aggregate number of shares (including fractional shares) of Common Stock that could have been purchased during the Performance Period had each cash dividend paid on a single share of Common Stock during that period been immediately reinvested in additional shares (or fractional shares) of Common Stock at the closing price per share of the Common Stock on the applicable dividend payment date by (ii) the average daily closing price per share of Common Stock calculated for the last thirty (30) days within the  Performance Period.

 

Each of the foregoing amounts shall be equitably adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and other similar events affecting the shares in question without the issuer’s receipt of consideration.

 

For each company in the S&P Transportation Index and S&P MidCap 400 Index, the TSR with respect to its common stock shall be calculated in the same manner as for the Common Stock.
