/s/ Martin D. Leon Guerrero

Martin D. Leon Guerrero

Asst. Corporate Secretary

BANKGUAM HOLDING COMPANY

Hagatna, Guam 96910

PROXY STATEMENT

These proxy materials are furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors of BankGuam Holding Company (the “Company”), of proxies for use at the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company to be held on Monday, May 19, 2014, at 7:00 p.m., in the lobby of Bank of Guam’s headquarters, located at 111 West Chalan Santo Papa, Hagåtña, Guam 96910 and at any adjournment thereof. These proxy materials are first being made available to shareholders on or about April 9, 2014.

PURPOSE OF MEETING

The matters to be considered and voted upon at the meeting will be to:

1. Elect four (4) Class III directors to serve for a term of three (3) years.

2. Ratify the selection of Squar, Milner, Peterson, Miranda & Williamson, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for 2014.

3. Approve the Company Employee Stock Service Award Plan.

• Consider such other business as may properly come before the Annual Meeting and any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Who May Vote

Only those common shareholders of record as of March 17, 2014 (the “Record Date”) will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the meeting. On that date 8,802,115 shares of common stock were outstanding. The determination of shareholders entitled to vote at the meeting and the number of votes to which they are entitled was made on the basis of the Company’s records as of the Record Date.

Revocability of Proxies

A proxy for use at the meeting is enclosed. Any shareholder who executes and delivers such proxy has the right to revoke it at any time before it is exercised by filing with the Corporate Secretary of the Company an instrument revoking it or by filing a duly executed proxy bearing a later date. In addition, the powers of the proxy holder will be revoked if the person executing the proxy is present at the meeting and elects to vote in person by advising the chairman of the meeting of such election. Subject to such revocation or suspension, all shares represented by a properly executed proxy received in time for the meeting will be voted by the proxy holders in accordance with the instructions on the proxy.

IF NO INSTRUCTION IS SPECIFIED WITH REGARD TO A MATTER TO BE ACTED UPON, THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THE PROXY WILL BE VOTED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS “FOR” THE ELECTION OF ALL NOMINEES FOR DIRECTORS LISTED HEREIN, “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS, “FOR” THE APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY EMPLOYEE STOCK SERVICE AWARD PLAN AND, IF ANY OTHER BUSINESS IS PROPERLY PRESENTED AT THE MEETING, IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS.

Quorum and Vote Necessary for Action

The presence in person or by proxy (including web and telephone voting) of a majority of the outstanding shares of stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will constitute a quorum for the purpose of transacting business at the meeting. Abstentions, shares as to which voting authority has been withheld from any nominee and “broker non-votes” (as defined below), will be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum.

In accordance with the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws each shareholder of record as of March 17, 2014, is entitled to cast one (1) vote for each share of stock held, for each of the four (4) open nominees named below. For example, a shareholder holding 100 shares may cast 100 or fewer (but not more) votes for each of four (4) candidates. A shareholder may not cast cumulative votes (i.e., you may not cast a number of votes greater than the number shares that you own for any one candidate) also a shareholder may not vote for more than four (4) of the nominees.

A broker or nominee holding shares for beneficial owners may vote on certain matters at the meeting pursuant to discretionary authority or instructions from the beneficial owners, but with respect to other matters for which the broker or nominee may not have received instructions from the beneficial owners and may not have discretionary voting power under the applicable rule of the stock exchange or other self-regulatory organization to which the broker or nominee is a member, the shares held by the broker or nominee may not be voted. Such unvoted shares are called “broker non-votes.” Such rules of the stock exchange and other self-regulatory organization generally permit a broker or nominee, in the absence of instructions, to deliver a proxy to vote for routine items, such as the ratification of independent auditors. Consequently, shares held by a broker or nominee will constitute “broker non-votes” regarding non-routine items, such as the election of directors and the matters regarding executive compensation.

One copy of the Annual Report and Proxy Statement is being delivered to multiple shareholders sharing an address unless the Company has received contrary instructions from one or more of the shareholders. The Company will deliver promptly upon written or oral request a separate copy of the Annual Report and Proxy Statement to a shareholder at a shared address to which a single copy of the document was delivered. If a shareholder wishes to receive a separate copy or has received multiple copies at one address and would like to receive a single copy in the future, please contact Computershare by phone Toll Free at (888) 835-5678 or Non-Toll Free at 1 (312) 360-5193 or by written request to Computershare, 250 Royall Street, Canton, MA 02021.

Person Making the Solicitation

This solicitation of proxies is being made by the Board of Directors of the Company. The expense of preparing, assembling, printing, and mailing this proxy statement and the material used in the solicitation of proxies for the meeting will be borne by the Company. It is contemplated that proxies will be solicited principally through the use of the mail, but officers, directors, and employees of the Company and Bank of Guam may solicit proxies personally or by telephone, without receiving special compensation therefor. Although there is no formal agreement to do so, the Company may reimburse banks, brokerage houses, and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries for their reasonable expense in forwarding these proxy materials to their principals.

Information about the Company and its Subsidiary

In October 2010, the Company organized for the sole purpose of serving as the parent bank holding company of the Bank of Guam (the “Bank”) to help facilitate the Bank’s new business strategy. Effective August 2011, the Company acquired the Bank in a statutory share exchange (the “Reorganization”) previously approved by the Bank’s shareholders at a meeting held on May 3, 2010. Pursuant to the Reorganization, each outstanding share of the Bank’s common stock was converted into and exchanged for a newly-issued share of the Company’s common stock, and the Bank became the Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary. The Company’s Board of Directors and committee memberships, as well as the President and Chief Executive Officer, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer, Senior Vice President/Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President/General Counsel, are the same as those of the Bank.

As a result of the Reorganization, effective August 2011, the Company became the “successor issuer” to the Bank for purposes of the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Unless otherwise indicated, information for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 provided in this Proxy Statement represents information with respect to the Bank, references to the “Board” or the “Board of Directors” mean the Company’s Board of Directors, and references to “management” mean the management of the Company and the Bank, including their Chief Executive and Chief Operating Officers, following the Reorganization and, in the case of the Company, its formation.

BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Nominees for Directors

The four nominees are presently Class III Directors. They were recommended by the Nominating and Governance Committee and approved by the Board of Directors and, unless the shareholder marks the proxy to withhold the vote, the enclosed proxy, if returned and not subsequently revoked, will be voted in favor of their election as directors. If for any reason any such nominee becomes unavailable for election, the proxy holders will vote for such substitute nominee as may be designated by the Board of Directors. The names of the nominees for the Class III Directors and the background information furnished by them, including their principal occupations and their employment for the past five years, are set forth below:

Joaquin L.G. Cook, age 34, is the Vice President Compliance Officer of Bank of Guam and has been a director since the Reorganization. He has been a director of the Bank since 2007. Prior to his current position as the Compliance Department manager he held several positions within the Bank including Assistant Vice President, Branch Manager and Commercial Loan Officer.

5

degree in Management Science from University of California, San Diego. He then obtained his Master’s Degree in Business Administration from the University of San Diego. Mr. Cook is the son of Lourdes A. Leon Guerrero.

Joe T. San Agustin, age 83, has been a director since the Reorganization and has been a Bank director since 1975. Mr. San Agustin has served as the Company’s “financial expert” since 2005. He brings expertise in the financial services industry to the Board of Directors, including a deep understanding of the wealth and financial management business. He served about 4 years with the Government of Guam as Director of Budget and Management and over six years as the Director of Department of Administration, primarily responsible for the financial and accounting management of the Territorial Government of Guam. Further, his experience as a Senator for twenty years, four years of which he served as the chairman of the Guam Legislature’s Ways and Means Committee and two years as Chairman of the Economic Committee is important to our Board as he brings his deep knowledge of and connections to the community of Guam which is utilized to help develop the Company’s strategies. He is the Chairman of the Government of Guam Retirement Fund which is managing over $1.6 billion for over 15,000 Government of Guam active and retired employees and survivors. He was a member of the Guam Finance Commission, Chairman of the Government of Guam Fiscal Policy Committee and the former Administrator of BRAC, Government of Guam Steering Committee, Office of the Governor.

He also is a part-time Adjunct Instructor at the University of Guam since 1995, teaching government budgeting and financial policies. He earned a BA in business administration and a Master in Public Administration from the George Washington University, Washington D.C.

We believe that Mr. San Agustin’s extensive experience in accounting and finance as the Chairman of the Government of Guam Retirement Fund as well as a member of the Finance Committee, his understanding of internal controls and procedures for financial reporting, his experience in heading the Bank’s Audit Committee, and his in depth knowledge of complex audit principles well qualifies him to serve on the Board and as the Audit Committee’s financial expert.

Martin D. Leon Guerrero, age 62, has been a Board member since the Reorganization and has been a member of the Bank Board since 1990. He is the Treasurer and Assistant Secretary of the Bank and the Company. He is also the Chairman of the Bank’s Trust Committee and the Vice-Chairman of the Bank’s and Company’s Audit Committee.

Mr. Leon Guerrero is the Secretary/Treasurer of Adztech & Public Relations, Inc. a public relations firm. We believe that Mr. Leon Guerrero’s media relations experience and his extensive knowledge of the Company’s market area, particularly Guam, well qualifies him to serve on our Board

Lourdes (Lou) Leon Guerrero, age 63, has been a Board member since the Reorganization and has been a member of the Bank Board since 1991 with a short absence of two years. She is the President and Chief Executive Officer and Chair of the Board of Directors of the Company and the Bank.

In 2009, she graduated from the Pacific Coast Banking School at the University of Washington, Washington State. She led the Bank’s management team and the Board in reaching over $1 billion dollars in assets in 2010 and maneuvered the Bank through the challenges of reorganizing the Bank into a bank holding company. She has strategically positioned the Company to expand and take opportunities that will lead to greater success and profitability. Her high level of understanding of the Company and the Board’s roles and responsibilities developed during her long tenure on the Bank’s Board of Directors as well as her extensive leadership experience in organizational, administrative management, and political/community affairs as a Senator and in the Guam medical community well qualifies her to serve as Chair of the Board.

He is one of the two remaining founding Bank Board members and is a member of the Company’s Stock Purchase Plan Committee and Bank’s and Company’s Audit and Nominating and Governance Committees. We believe that Dr. Camacho’s experience with the community as a practicing orthodontists, his extensive knowledge of the history of the Bank as one of the two remaining founding directors of the Bank, his experience as a director for 40 years and his understanding of the market area, particularly Guam, well qualifies him to serve on our Board.

Dr. Ralph G. Sablan M.D., age 81, has been a Board member since the Reorganization and is the only other original Board member that was selected in 1972 by the founder of the Bank, the late Jesus S. Leon Guerrero, to join the Bank as one of the 11 founding members of the Bank Board. He is a board certified dermatologist and a retired captain in the US Navy Medical Corps. He is a former President of the Guam Medical Society and was instrumental in starting the leprosy registry at the local public health service. Dr. Sablan has served in various Bank board committees, namely Audit, Executive, Nominating and Employee Option Plan. He served as chairman of the Bank Audit committee for 13 years from 1990 to 2003. At one time he served as chairman of the Bank Nominating Committee. He is currently a member of the Company’s Stock Purchase Plan Committee, Bank’s and Company’s Audit and Nominating and Governance Committees and the Bank’s Executive Committee. We believe that Dr. Sablan’s experience with the community when he was a practicing dermatologist, his extensive knowledge of the Bank’s history, experience as a director for 40 years and his understanding of the market area, particularly Guam, well qualifies him to serve on our Board.

Roger P. Crouthamel, age 65, has been a Board member since the Reorganization and has been a member of the Bank Board since 1998. He is the Secretary of the Company and the Bank. He is a director of TransPacific Travel dba Travel Pacificana and the Assistant Secretary/Treasurer of Oceanic Resources, Inc. He is a lawyer admitted to practice in Hawaii, California and Guam since 1973 and for 34 years has been an Associate, Partner, and now Of Counsel of Carlsmith Ball LLP concentrating mainly on commercial and transactional law. He is also a partner of Chamorro Gardens Development, Macheche Plaza Development and LKC Development and a member of Vista Chino Development. Additionally he is a director and Vice President of Sports Concepts Inc. He is a member of the Bank’s Executive Committee and Vice-Chairman of the Bank’s Trust Committee. He is also the Chairman of the Company’s Stock Purchase Plan Committee and Bank’s and Company’s Audit and Nominating and Governance Committees. We believe that Mr. Crouthamel’s business relations experience, his law practice for 34 years and his longtime tenure as a Board member of the Bank, and his extensive knowledge of the Company’s market area, particularly Guam, well qualifies him to serve on our Board.

Board Meetings

Since the Reorganization in August 2011, the Bank’s Board of Directors continued to meet monthly to discuss matters directly related the Bank’s business. While the Company’s Board of Directors generally meets quarterly, it has met more frequently due to the Reorganization. During 2013, the Bank’s Board met 13 times and the Company’s Board met 5 times, and each of our current directors attended at least 75% of (i) all Board meetings; and (ii) all applicable committee meetings in fiscal year 2013. All 11 members of the Board attended the 2013 Annual Meeting.

+ Denotes a committee at the Company only.

All other committees in the table not marked are at the Bank only.

In the number of meetings that are stated as a fraction, the number of Company meetings is the numerator and the number of Bank meetings is the denominator.

The following is a brief description of each Company and Bank committee of the Board of Directors.

Audit Committee: The Audit Committee discharges the Board of Directors’ responsibility relating to the oversight of (i) the integrity of the financial statements and internal controls, (ii) the independent auditor’s qualifications and independence, (iii) the performance of the independent auditors and internal audit function, and (iv) the compliance with legal and regulatory requirements. The Audit Committee, among other things, is responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the independent auditors and review of the financial statements, audit reports, internal controls and internal audit procedures.

The Audit Committee was established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)A of the Exchange Act. Each member of the Audit Committee has been determined to be an independent director, in accordance with the independence standards of the SEC and American Stock Exchange applicable to audit committees. The Board of Directors has determined that the Chairman of the Audit Committee, Joe T. San Agustin qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert.” Mr. San Agustin is “independent” as that term is defined in the American Stock Exchange standards and the SEC rules.

Compensation Committee: Among other things, the Compensation Committee is appointed by the Board of Directors to (i) to review and approve annually the corporate goals and objectives applicable to the compensation of the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer (“CEO” and “COO”), evaluate at least annually the CEO’s and COO’s performance in light of those goals and objectives, and determine and approve the CEO’s and COO’s compensation level based on this evaluation. In determining the long-term incentive component of CEO’s and COO’s compensation, the Committee considers the Company’s performance and relative shareholder return. The Committee also makes recommendations to the Board regarding the compensation of all other executive officers.

9

Additionally, the Committee reviews and makes recommendations to the Board regarding incentive compensation plans and equity-based plans, and where appropriate or required, recommend for approval by the shareholders of the Company, which includes the ability to adopt, amend and terminate such plans. The Committee also has the authority to administer the Company’s incentive compensation plans and equity-based plans, including designation of the employees to whom the awards are to be granted, the amount of the award or equity to be granted and the terms and conditions applicable to each award or grant, subject to the provisions of each plan. The Committee also reviews director compensation for service on the Board and Board committees at least once a year and to recommend any changes to the Board.

The Compensation Committee may delegate to the Director of Human Resources or other appropriate officer to administer, amend and interpret the Company’s compensation and benefits programs. Each member of the Compensation Committee has been determined to be an independent director, in accordance with the independence standards of the American Stock Exchange and the SEC Rules.

Nominating and Governance Committee: The Nominating and Governance Committee function is (1) to assist the Board, on an annual basis, by identifying individuals qualified to become Board members, and to recommend to the Board the director nominees for the next annual meeting of shareholders; (2) to assist the Board in the event of any vacancy on the Board by identifying individuals qualified to become Board members, and to recommend to the Board qualified individuals to fill any such vacancy; (3) to recommend to the Board, on an annual basis, director nominees for each Board committee; and (4) to establish procedures for the Committee to exercise oversight of the evaluation of the Board.

Each member of the Nominating and Governance Committee has been determined to be an independent director, in accordance with the independence standards of American Stock Exchange and the SEC Rules.

Stock Purchase Plan Committee: The Stock Purchase Plan Committee was reconstituted after the Reorganization. It was formerly the Bank Stock Option Plan Committee but changed its name after the expiration of the Bank’s former Stock Option Plan and the adoption and approval at the May 2, 2011 Annual Shareholder meeting of the Company’s new Stock Purchase Plan. This Committee’s function is to recommend and implement the Company stock purchase plan that is generally available for all employees of the Bank. See additional details regarding the Stock Purchase Plan under the section entitled Employee Stock Purchase Plan.

The following is a brief description of the Bank committees of the Board of Directors.

Loan Committee: The Loan Committee’s principal function is to monitor and review the loan portfolio of the Bank and its branches. In this connection, the Committee approves and confirms, as the case may be, all loans above a certain amount.

Executive Committee: The Executive Committee reviews the administration of the Bank and its branches, including the investment portfolio, loans in excess of $50,000, personnel policies, and various management, credit and personnel reports.

Trust Committee: The Trust Committee’s function is to oversee and direct all activities of the Trust department of the Bank, including approving all accounts opened and closed.

Asset Liability Committee: The Asset Liability’s principal function is to monitor and review the Bank’s liquidity position (Asset/Liability management) to assure that appropriate resources are in place to meet anticipated funds demands. The Committee also manages rate sensitive assets and liabilities to provide acceptable levels of net interest income and Interest Rate Risk which is the exposure to the Bank’s Earnings and Equity Capital from future interest rate changes.

Director Compensation

The Company and the Bank uses cash incentive compensation to attract and retain qualified candidates to serve on its Board of Directors. In setting director compensation, the Company and the Bank considers the significant amount of time that directors expend in fulfilling their duties as well as the skill-level required as a member of the Board of Directors. Presently, with the exception of the Company Stock Purchase Plan Committee, directors of the Company receive no compensation for any Board or Committee meeting attended. Bank directors are paid an attendance fee of $2,000 for each Bank Board meeting attended. Bank Board members are also paid $250 for each committee meeting attended with the Chairman of the Bank Audit and Bank Trust Committee being paid $300 per meeting. The Company pays each member of the Stock Purchase Plan Committee a fee of $250 for each meeting attended.

Survivor Income Plan and Group Polices

In 2011, the Bank Board approved entry into a survivor income plan (“SIP”) for Bank directors meeting certain age requirements. The SIP was implemented to help recruit, reward and retain key executives and directors. Under the SIP, upon a participating director’s death while serving on the Board, the Bank will pay a death benefit to the director’s beneficiary in the amount of $303,030.

The Bank Board members are also enrolled in the Bank’s group life insurance and some are enrolled in the group health and dental insurance. The group policies are made available on the same basis as all Bank employees.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

Board Leadership Structure

The Board of Directors is committed to strong, independent leadership and believes that objective oversight of management performance is a critical aspect of effective corporate governance. It is the role of the Nominating and Governance Committee to review annually, and when appropriate make recommendations to the Board of Directors concerning, board composition, structure, and functions. With the current size and structure of the Company, the Board has deemed it appropriate to have one individual serve as Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. According to the Company’s bylaws, the Chairman of the Board shall preside at meetings of the Board of Directors and shareholders and exercise and perform such other powers and duties as may be from time to time assigned to him/her by the Board of Directors. The bylaws further provide that the President of the Company will be the chief executive officer and shall, subject to the control of the Board of Directors, have general supervision, direction, and control of the business and the officers of the corporation. As the Company continues to grow and the oversight responsibilities of the Board of Directors expand, the Board may consider having an independent Chairman with the sole job of leading the Board and a separate President who can focus his/her efforts on the day-to-day management of the Company. The Board does believe that it is important to have the President as a director. The Company aims to foster an appropriate level of separation between these two distinct levels of leadership of the Company but the current size and complexity of the Company, at this time, does not warrant such separate positions. Also, in addition to the Chairman, leadership is also provided through the respective chairs of the various committees of the Bank and Company Board. All but three of the members of the Board of Directors are independent directors. In addition, our key committees of the Board of Directors — Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Governance — are comprised solely of, and chaired by, independent directors.

11

Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

It is a fundamental part of the Board’s responsibility to understand the risks the Company faces and what steps management is taking to manage those risks. It is also important that the Board understands what level of risk is appropriate for the Company. While the Board of Directors has the ultimate oversight responsibility for the risk management process, various committees of the Board also have responsibility for risk management. In particular, the Audit Committee focuses on financial risk, including internal controls, and receives an annual risk assessment report from the Company’s outside auditor. The Bank’s Executive Committee fulfills its oversight responsibility with respect to the Bank’s compliance and operational risk, by working with the Bank’s Senior Vice President and General Counsel and Chief Risk Officer to understand regulatory and legislative issues and the Bank’s processes and systems. In setting compensation, the Bank’s Compensation Committee strives to create incentives that do not encourage excessive risk-taking beyond the Bank’s ability to effectively identify and manage risk. The Bank’s Asset Liability Committee focuses on investment risks and the Bank’s Loan Committee functions focuses on credit. Both Committees receive monthly reports from the chief credit officer and chief financial officer. Additionally the Bank Board of Directors is provided physical and information security risk reports by management on an annual basis.

Director Independence

For the year 2013, the Board of Directors has determined that Lourdes A. Leon Guerrero, the Chair of our Board of Directors and President and Chief Executive Officer, William D. Leon Guerrero, our Company Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer and Joaquin P.L.G. Cook, Board member and Vice President Compliance Officer, would not be considered “independent directors” as that term is defined in the listing standards of the American Stock Exchange and SEC Rules. The Board of Directors has determined all of the other eight directors are “independent directors” as that term is defined in the listing standards of the American Stock Exchange and SEC Rules. Such independence definition includes a series of objective tests, including that the director is not an employee of the Company and has not engaged in various types of business dealings with the Company. In addition, as further required by the American Stock Exchange and SEC Rules listing standards, the Board of Directors has made a subjective determination as to each independent director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of the Board of Directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

Executive Sessions of Independent Directors

Independent directors meet at regularly scheduled sessions without the directors who are not independent.

Nomination of Directors

Our Nominating and Governance Committee is a joint committee of the Company and the Bank’s Boards of Directors. Among its other duties and responsibilities assigned from time to time by the Board, the Committee functions as a nominations committee by identifying individuals who are qualified to become directors and recommending candidates to the Board for selection as nominees for election as directors at our Annual Meetings and for appointment to fill vacancies on our Board.

The Committee’s charter provides that the Committee will recommend individuals who have high personal and professional integrity, who demonstrate ability and judgment, and who, with other members of the Board, will be effective in collectively serving the long-term interests of our shareholders. Candidates also must satisfy applicable requirements of state and federal banking regulators and the Committee may develop other criteria or minimum qualifications for use in identifying and evaluating candidates. In identifying candidates to be recommended to the Board of Directors, the Committee will consider candidates recommended by shareholders. The Committee has not used the services of a third-party search firm. Shareholders who wish to recommend candidates to the Committee should send their recommendations in writing to:

BankGuam Holding Company

Attention: Roger Crouthamel, Corporate Secretary

P.O. Box BW

Hagatna, Guam 96932

12

Each recommendation should be accompanied by the following:

• The full name, address and telephone number of the person making the recommendation, and a statement that the person making the recommendation is a shareholder of record (or, if the person is a beneficial owner of our shares but not a record holder, a statement from the record holder of the shares verifying the number of shares beneficially owned), and a statement as to whether the person making the recommendation has a good faith intention to continue to hold those shares through the date of our next Annual Meeting;

• The full name, address and telephone number of the candidate being recommended, information regarding the candidate’s beneficial ownership of our equity securities and any business or personal relationship between the candidate and the person making the recommendation, and an explanation of the value or benefit the person making the recommendation believes the candidate would provide as a director;

• A statement signed by the candidate that he or she is aware of and consents to being recommended to the Committee and will provide such information as the Committee may request in connection with its evaluation of candidates;

• A description of the candidate’s current principal occupation, business or professional experience, previous employment history, educational background, and any areas of particular expertise;

• Information about any business or personal relationships between the candidate and any of our customers, suppliers, vendors, competitors, directors or officers, affiliated companies, or other persons with any special interest regarding our bank, and any transactions between the candidate and our bank; and

• Any information in addition to the above regarding the candidate that would be required to be included in our proxy statement pursuant to the SEC’s Regulation 14A (including without limitation information regarding legal proceedings in which the candidate has been involved within the past five years).

Shareholder recommendations must be received by January 1, 2015, in order to be included in the Committee’s consideration for directors to be elected in the 2015 Annual Meeting of Shareholders.

The Committee will evaluate candidates recommended by shareholders in a manner similar to its evaluation of other candidates. The Committee will select candidates to be recommended to the Board of Directors each year based on its assessment of, among other things, (1) candidates’ business, personal and educational background and experience, community leadership, independence, geographic location within our service area, and their other qualifications, attributes and potential contributions; (2) the past and future contributions of our current directors, and the value of continuity and prior board experience; (3) the existence of one or more vacancies on the Board; (4) the need for a director possessing particular attributes or particular experience or expertise; (5) the role of directors in our business development activities; and (6) other factors that it considers relevant, including any specific qualifications the Committee adopts from time to time.

Communications with the Board

Our Board of Directors encourages our shareholders to communicate with it regarding their concerns and other matters related to our business, and the board has established a process by which you may send written communications to the board or to one or more individual directors. You may address and mail your communication to Roger Crouthamel, Corporate Secretary, at:

BankGuam Holding Company

You also may send your communication by email to him at rpc@bankofguam.com. You should indicate whether your communication is directed to the entire Board of Directors, to a particular committee of the Board or its Chairman, or to one or more individual directors. All communications will be reviewed by our Corporate Secretary, and with the exception of communications our Corporate Secretary considers to be unrelated to our business, forwarded on to the intended recipients. Copies of communications from a customer of the Bank relating to a deposit, loan or other financial relationship or transaction also will be forwarded to the department or division most closely associated with the subject.

Code of Ethics

The Company has adopted a written Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code of Ethics”) that applies to all employees, officers and directors of the Company as well as any subsidiary company officers that are executive officers of the Company. The Code of Ethics is available on the Company’s website at www.bankofguam.com and print copies are available to any shareholder that requests a copy. Any amendments to the Code of Ethics, or waivers of these policies, to the extent applicable to the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, the principal accounting officer or the controller, will be disclosed on the Company’s website promptly following the date of such amendment or waiver, as applicable. Information on the Company’s website does not form a part of this Proxy Statement.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

This section addresses the compensation programs, philosophy and objectives of the Company, including the process for making compensation decisions, the role of management in the design of such programs, and its 2013 executive compensation components. This section also addresses the factors most relevant to understanding the Company’s compensation programs and what they are designed to reward, including the essential elements of compensation, the reasons for determining payment of each element of compensation, and how each compensation element fits into the Company’s overall compensation objectives and affects decisions regarding other compensation elements. Since the Reorganization and because of the size and complexity of the Company and the Bank have not significantly increased, the executive officers receive no compensation to manage the affairs of the Company. All compensation is accomplished at the Bank level through the Board of Directors of the Bank.

Executive Summary

The Compensation Committee establishes and administers the compensation and benefit programs for the President and Chief Executive Officer and the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer. The President and Chief Executive Officer establish the compensation and benefit programs for the other named executive officers. The Compensation Committee may make recommendations relative to the compensation and benefits of the executive officers to the Bank Board. The Committee, as well as the President and Chief Executive Officer for the other named executive officers, carefully considers the components of the executive compensation programs to attract and retain high quality named executive officers and to incent the behavior of named executive officers to create shareholder value.

The Compensation Committee’s and the President and Chief Executive Officer’s (for the other named executive officers) philosophy, practices and policies have been developed over a number of years and have not historically been subject to sweeping, material changes. Unlike other insured financial institutions physically located in the United States, the Company and Bank are uniquely geographically situated thousands of miles from the mainland United States. Because of its location, it cannot readily draw from the available pool of experienced officers that typically is available to mainland banks to manage the affairs of the Bank.

Philosophy

This Board believes that its executive compensation program should be designed and administered to provide a competitive compensation program that will enable it to attract, motivate, reward and retain executives who have the skills, education, experience and capabilities required to discharge their duties in a competent, efficient and professional manner. The Bank Board thinks that the most effective compensation program is one that is designed to reward the achievement of specific annual, long-term and strategic goals by the Bank, and which aligns executive’s interests with those of the shareholder by rewarding performance above established goals, with the ultimate objective of improving shareholder value without rewarding short-term risk-taking.

Process for Making Compensation Decisions

The Compensation Committee has the responsibility for establishing, implementing and continually monitoring adherence with the Bank’s compensation philosophy. The Compensation Committee ensures that the total compensation paid to the President and Chief Executive Officer (the “CEO”) and the Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer (the “COO”) is fair, reasonable and competitive. Generally, the types of compensation and benefits provided to them are similar to other executive officers. The Compensation Committee is also responsible for the review and approval of corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation, including the incentive bonus, of the Bank’s CEO and COO, to evaluate the performance of the CEO and CEO in light of the goals and objectives and to determine and approve the CEO’s and COO’s compensation levels based on this evaluation.

As to the other named executives, shortly following the conclusion of each calendar year, the CEO, assisted by the Director of Human Resources, conducts an annual performance evaluation process for all named executive officers, other than for herself and the COO. As part of each annual performance evaluation, the CEO considers, among other key factors: (i) the

14

executive’s performance of job responsibilities and achievement of individual and/or departmental objectives and (ii) management and leadership skills, such as effective communication, problem solving, business development and community involvement. In addition the named executive’s contributions to the Bank’s overall financial goals are indirectly considered. The Compensation Committee then reviews the CEO’s recommendations on the annual bonuses and salary increases for the named executive officers.

The Compensation Committee also periodically reviews the compensation levels of the Board of Directors. In its review, the Compensation Committee looks to ensure that the compensation is fair, reasonably competitive and commensurate to the amount of work required both from the individual directors as well as from the Board in the aggregate.

2013 Executive Compensation Components

To implement the compensation objectives of the Board, the Bank has entered into employment agreements with its named executive officers that it believes rewards performance as measured against established goals. The Board believe that these agreements provide a fair compensation for the named executives and enables the Bank to better retain key executives to manage its affairs and to comply with the numerous Guam, Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Republic of the Marshall Islands, Federated States of the Micronesia, Republic of Palau, California and federal laws and regulations in order to ensure the safety and soundness of the funds entrusted to it for safekeeping. William D. Leon Guerrero and Lourdes A. Leon Guerrero executed Employment Agreements in 2013. Francisco M. Atalig entered into an Employment Agreement with the Bank on January 2012.

For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, the principal components of compensation under each named executive employee’s employment agreements were:

Base Salary. The Bank provides named executive officers and other employees with a base salary pursuant to their employment agreements to compensate them for services rendered during the fiscal year. Base salary ranges for each named executive officers and are determined for each executive based on his position and responsibility. The base salary is adjusted annually to reflect the increase, if any, in the cost-of-living by adding to the base salary an amount obtained by multiplying the base salary by the percentage of which the level of the Consumer Price Index for the United States (as to Lourdes Leon Guerrero and William D Leon Guerrero) and Guam (as to Francisco M. Atalig) has increased over its level as of the date of commencement of the term of the employment agreement (together with base salary, the “Adjusted Base Salary”).

Incentive Bonus. The Bank provides an incentive-based cash compensation plan for the named executive officers tied to meeting certain objectives as measured by return on assets, return on equity, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ratings, and level of adversely classified assets or the Bank’s efficiency performance. See “Employment Agreements” for a summary explanation of the incentive bonus.

The incentive bonus varies with each named executive officer and is set at a maximum amount. The set amount is subject to adjustments and paid quarterly in capital stocks or in cash, or combination, at the option of the named executive officer. The maximum amount is subject to review by the Compensation Committee of the Bank annually.

Adjustments To Bonus. On an annual basis, the Bank Board review the prior year’s budget and strategic plan to adjust on a quarterly basis the incentive bonus of the executive officer as follows:

a. If the then current Return on Equity (ROE) of the Bank is below the preceding three-year average ROE of the Bank, then the Incentive Bonus is reduced by ten percent (10%);

b. If the then current Return on Assets (ROA) of the Bank is less than that of the Bank’s peer group as published in the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation’s (FDIC) Uniform Bank Performance Report, then the Incentive Bonus is reduced by ten percent (10%);

c. If the then current Bank’s FDIC Commercial Examination Composite Rating (FDIC Rating) is 2 or better, there is no reduction to the Incentive Bonus; if the FDIC Rating is 3, then Incentive Bonus is reduced by fifteen percent (15%); if the FDIC Rating is 4, then the Incentive Bonus is reduced by fifty percent (50%); if the FDIC Rating is 5, then the Incentive Bonus is reduced by one-hundred percent (100%);

15

d. If the then current Total Adversely Classified Items to Tier 1 Capital of the Bank plus the Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses is greater than twenty-five percent (25%), then the Incentive Bonus is reduced by ten percent (10%); and

e. If the Efficiency Ratio of the Bank is greater than various percentages for various years for each of the named executives, the incentive bonus is reduced by five percent (5%).

For purposes of these calculations, the ROA, ROE, FDIC Rating, Total Adversely Classified Items to Tier 1 Capital, Allowance for Loan and Lease Losses and Efficiency Ratio is derived from any report of management submitted to the Board of Directors at the Board meeting immediately preceding the date of any adjustment. If any dispute arises as to the calculations of any of such figures, the Compensation Committee, subject to Board approval, makes the sole determination of such figures using whatever resources the Compensation Committee shall deem reasonably necessary.

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits. The Bank provides named executive officers with perquisites and other personal benefits that the Board believes are reasonable and consistent with its overall compensation program to better enable the Bank to attract and retain superior employees for key positions. The Board periodically reviews the levels of perquisites and other personal benefits provided to the named executive officers.

Based on the specific provisions of the employment agreements of the named executive officers, some of the perquisites include the use of automobiles, term life insurance coverage, group life, health and dental coverage, certain memberships and personal benefits. Information about the details of the 2013 perquisites and other benefits for fiscal year ended December 31, 2013 provided to the named executive officers is found in the Summary Compensation Table below.

Executive Officers

Throughout this Proxy Statement, the individuals who served as the Company’s and the Bank’s Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer and Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer during fiscal year 2013 are referred to as the “named executive officers.” Following is information regarding the named executive officers except for Lourdes A. Leon Guerrero and William D. Leon Guerrero, who are directors and whose information has been previously presented.

Francisco M. Atalig, 63, joined Bank of Guam in 1992 as Vice President and Operations Administrator. In 2007 he was appointed Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and after the Reorganization was further appointed to the same positions for the Company. He has over 41 years of banking experience including 21 years in CitiBank as the Country Credit Officer, the Senior Country Operations and the Senior Financial Management Officer.

Summary Compensation Table

The following table sets forth compensation for services in all capacities to the Bank for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 of those persons who were, at December 31, 2013 for the Company and the Bank, the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Operating Officer and the Chief Financial Officer.

Employee’s 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan

The Bank has an employee benefit plan called the Bank of Guam Employee 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan (the “401(k) Plan”). For 2013, employees who meet certain eligibility requirements based on length and amount of service may voluntarily contribute up to a maximum of $17,500 to the 401(k) Plan. Employees who are 50 or older may elect to defer an additional $5,500 on top of the $17,500 for a maximum contribution of $23,000 per year. The Bank will make contributions equal to 100% of employee’s salary deferrals that do not exceed 1% of employee’s compensation, plus 50% of employee’s salary deferrals that exceed 1% but are less than 5% of employee’s compensation. Employees’ rights to the Bank’s contribution vest at the rate of 20% per annum, with 100% vesting after two years participation in the 401(k) Plan, or upon death or permanent disability. Employees may direct the investment of their 401(k) Plan accounts as set forth in the 401(k) Plan. Payments at retirement are based on the amount each employee contributed each year, the amount matched by the Bank and the performance success of the investments chosen by the employee. All eligible employees were automatically enrolled in the 401(k) Plan unless the employee actively opts out of participation in the 401(k) Plan. Lourdes A. Leon Guerrero, William D. Leon Guerrero and Francisco M. Atalig were eligible to participate in the 401(k) Plan and did not opt out of the 401(k) Plan.

Long Term Incentive Program

On January 10, 1989, the Bank Shareholders approved and the Company assumed after the Reorganization a Tandem Phantom Stock Unit/Stock Option plan authorizing the Board of Directors to enter into employment agreements with executive officers to defer up to One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000) of the annual incentive bonuses payable to certain executive officers granting such officers, in lieu of cash, fully vested phantom stock units paying dividend equivalents, such phantom stock units to equal the value of the amount deferred, coupled with options to purchase three (3) shares of common stock of the Bank for each one Phantom Stock Unit granted (the “Tandem Phantom Stock Unit/Stock Option”). The Board has entered into employment agreements with William D. Leon Guerrero and Lourdes A. Leon Guerrero which grant them the right to (1) hold both the phantom stock units and the stock options and receive on each Phantom Stock Unit an amount equivalent to the dividend paid on each share of Common Stock (the “Dividend Equivalent”), or (2) tender his phantom stock units to the Bank for purchase by the Bank at the then fair market value, or (3) exercise his stock options. Upon tender by the holder of his phantom stock units for cash, he will forfeit his rights to the stock options; or upon exercise of his stock options he will forfeit his rights to the phantom stock units (and the Dividend Equivalents). The Board of Directors has not deferred an annual incentive bonus under the Tandem Phantom Stock Unit/Stock Option Plan for the years 2013, 2012, or 2011.

Employee Service Award Plan

Prior to the Reorganization, the Bank maintained an Employee Stock Service Award Plan that rewards all employees of the Bank for their time and service with the Bank. This plan has been in effect for over 25 years. After employment for five consecutive years with the Bank, the employee is awarded 50 of shares of the Company. Shares are again awarded every fifth consecutive year thereafter in increasing increments of shares as follows: 100 shares after 10 years, 300 shares after 15 years, 500 shares after 20 years, 750 shares after 25 years, 1,200 after 30 years and 2,000 shares after 35 years. Effective January 1, 2012, this Plan was amended to substitute the award of Company shares to cash as follows: $500 after 5 years of service, $1,000 after 10 years, $3,000 after 15 years, $5,000 after 20 years, $7,500 after 25 years, $12,000 after 30 years and $20,000 after 30 years.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans

In 2013 the Bank Board approved entry into supplemental executive retirement agreements (“SERPs”) with the named executive officers. The SERPs were implemented to help build and retain key bank employees at the level of Vice President and up, including the named executive officers. Under the terms of the plan, differing death, disability, change in control, and post-employment/retirement benefits are provided to each of the key employees. Pursuant to the plan, agreements were entered into between the Bank and each of the key employees including the named executive officers. By defining and increasing, over each employee’s term of employment, the amounts each employee will receive upon the occurrence of certain specified events, including retirement on or after 10 years after the SERP was entered, each employee has been provided what the Board believes to be a reasonable incentive to remain with the Bank until retirement. While several provisions have been included which will serve to reduce the overall amounts payable, the agreements are expected to provide a maximum annual benefit payment at retirement for a period of 15 years in the amount of $150,000 to Lourdes A. Leon Guerrero, $100,000 to William D. Leon Guerrero, and $50,000.00 to each of the other named executive officers.

In the event a participant terminates employment as a result of an early voluntary termination, change in control, early involuntary termination, or disability, his or her monthly payments or lump sum amounts will be based on annual benefit levels determined in accordance with a formula set forth in each participant’s SERP that results in benefit amounts that increase over the participant’s period of continued service, but not above the normal retirement benefit. No benefits are payable to the named executive officers if the named executive officer is terminated for cause.

In the event of the named executive’s early voluntary retirement, the Bank is obligated to payout the annual benefit multiplied by 0% if voluntary retirement occurs within the first five years, 50% if within the sixth year, 60% if within the seventh year, 70% if within the eighth year, 80% if within the ninth year, 90% within the tenth year and 100% after 10 years. There are no vested accrual balances as of December 31, 2013 for the named executive officers.

In the event of a change in control, the Bank is obligated to pay within 60 days of separation 100% of the accrual balance, as defined in the SERP agreement. If the change in control occurred on December 31, 2013 the amounts to be paid are: $294,762 to Lourdes A. Leon Guerrero, $196,508 to William D. Leon Guerrero, $98,254 to each of the other named executive officers.

18

In the event of the named executive’s disability, the Bank is obligated to pay in 180 monthly payments 100% of the accrual balance, as defined in the SERP agreement. The agreements are expected to begin paying out at the Executive’s normal retirement date when defined in the SERP agreement on the first day of the month following determination of disability. The annual benefit payment under this scenario is as follows: $19,653 to Lourdes A. Leon Guerrero, $13,101 to William D. Leon Guerrero, $6,550 to each of the other named executive officers.

In the event of the named executive’s death, the Bank is obligated to pay within 60 days of the participant’s death 100% of the accrual balance, as defined in the SERP agreement. For example, if the death occurred on December 31, 2013 the amounts to be paid are: $294,762 to Lourdes A. Leon Guerrero, $196,508 to William D. Leon Guerrero, $98,254 to each of the other named executive officers.

To comply with Internal Revenue Code 409A, generally, named executives’ are not eligible to commence receipt of benefits until six (6) months after termination of employment.

Survivor Income Plan

The Bank Board also approved entry into a survivor income plan (“SIP”) for the named executive officers of the Bank in 2013. The SIP was implemented to help recruit, reward and retain key executives. Upon a participating executive officer’s death while employed by the Bank, the Bank will pay a death benefit to the executive officer’s beneficiary in the amount of $1,060,606.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Bank of Guam 2011 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2011 Plan”) was adopted by the Bank Board of Directors and approved by the Bank’s Shareholders in May 2, 2011, and subsequently adopted by the Company after the Reorganization. The 2011 Plan is open to all employees of the Company and the Bank who have met certain eligibility requirements.

Under the 2011 Plan, eligible employees can purchase, through payroll deductions, shares of common stock at a discount. The right to purchase stocks is granted to eligible employees during a period of time that is established from time to time by the Board of Directors of the Company. Eligible employees cannot accrue the right to purchase more than $25,000 worth of stock, as valued at the beginning of each offer period. Eligible employees also may not purchase more than 1,500 shares of stock under any one offer period. The shares are purchased at 85% of the value of the stock a price on the enrollment date or purchase date, whichever is less.

Compensation Risk Assessment

In determining the level of risk arising from the Company’s and the Bank’s compensation policies and practices, a thorough review and risk assessment evaluation of the Company’s and Bank’s compensation plans for all employees as well as the overall compensation philosophy was conducted. The Compensation Committee evaluated the form and mix of compensation, controls and process, and the Company’s and Bank’s business strategies.

The Compensation Committee has concluded that the Bank’s compensation arrangements do not encourage employees to take unnecessary or excessive risks.

Discretionary Bonus

Bank of Guam has a discretionary bonus program for the Bank’s non-executive officers and staff. Contributions by the Bank to both programs are based upon the Bank’s achievement of specified levels of financial performance as determined by the President and Chief Executive Officer and approved by the Board of the Bank. In 2013, the Bank paid $150,000 for this program and bonus payments.

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis contained in this Proxy Statement. Based on this review and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Proxy Statement and incorporated by reference in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS

The Company’s Code of Ethics provides that personal interests of directors, officers and employees of the Company must not interfere with, or appear to interfere with, the interests of the Company. Directors, officers and employees of the Company may not compete with the Company or disadvantage the Company by taking for personal gain corporate opportunities or engage in any action that creates actual or apparent conflicts of interest with the Company. Any director or officer involved in a transaction with the Company or that has an interest or a relationship that reasonably could be expected to give rise to a conflict of interest must report the matter promptly to the Audit Committee, which is responsible for determining if the particular situation is acceptable.

The Company does not have a formal policy regarding the review, approval or ratification of related party transactions. As transactions are reported, however, the Board considers any related party transactions on a case-by-case basis to determine whether the transaction or arrangement was undertaken in the ordinary course of business and whether the terms of the transaction are no less favorable to the Company than terms that could have been reached with an unrelated party. If any member of the Board is interested in the transaction, that member will recuse himself from the discussion and decision on the transaction.

The following are related party transactions involving the Company’s subsidiary relative to lease agreements for two branches of the Bank and have been in existence for over 10 years.

The Bank is leasing office space in the Yigo Town Center for its Yigo Branch from Ada’s Trust & Investment Inc. (“Ada’s Trust”). Patricia P. Ada is a director for the Bank and the General Manager, Board Secretary and Assistant Treasurer for Ada’s Trust. The Bank’s ten-year lease for the 4000 square foot Yigo Branch began on December 1, 1996. The Bank has four options to renew the lease for five years each. During fiscal year 2013, the Bank paid Ada’s Trust $130,680 for rent. During the ten-year Lease term the total lease payments should equal approximately $1,134,000. The lease transaction is beneficial to the Bank and the Company and the terms of the transaction are fair to the Bank and the Company. The Bank anticipates that it may exercise one or more of its final option to renew the lease.

The Bank is leasing office space in the Macheche Plaza Shopping Center for its Dededo Branch from Macheche Plaza Development (“Macheche”). Roger P. Crouthamel is a Managing Partner of and owns a 27% interest in Macheche. The John Kerr Grandchildren’s Trust also has a 15% interest in Macheche. Roger P. Crouthamel is the Trustee for The John Kerr Grandchildren’s Trust. The Bank’s ten-year lease for the 5,574 square foot Dededo Branch began on March 30, 1990. The lease was renegotiated in 1999 to lower the rent and extend the lease for twelve years commencing June 1, 1999. The Bank has two options to renew the lease for five years each. The lease automatically renews for five years provided the Bank does not give the landlord a notice of termination 180 days prior to the termination date. The Bank has not provided the landlord with a notice of termination. During fiscal year 2013, the Bank paid Macheche Development $200,664 for rent and $38,795 for common area maintenance. During the twelve-year lease term the total lease payments should equal approximately $2,449,858. The lease transaction is beneficial to the Bank and the Company and the terms of the transaction are fair to the Bank and the Company. The Bank anticipates that it may exercise the options to renew the lease.

Additionally, the Bank has had and expects to have banking transactions in the ordinary course of business with many of the directors and executive officers of the Bank (and their associates), on substantially the same terms (including interest rates, collateral and repayment terms) as those prevailing at the time for comparable loans with persons not related to the Company. During 2013 no loan to any director or executive officer of the Company (or their associates) involved more than the normal risk of collectability or presented other unfavorable features.

Loans made by the Bank to directors and executive officers are subject to the requirements of Regulation O of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System. Regulation O requires, among other things, prior approval of the Board of Directors with any “interested” director not participating and dollar limitations on amounts of certain loans, and prohibits any favorable treatment being extended to any director or executive officer in any of the Bank’s lending matters. To the best knowledge of the Company, Regulation O has been complied with in its entirety.

23

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company’s directors and executive officers and persons who own more than 10% of the Company’s common stock to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of common stock of the Company. Directors, officers, and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

To the Company’s knowledge, based on a review of the copies of such reports furnished to the Company and written representations that no other reports were required, during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its directors, officers, and 10% shareholders have been met on a timely basis, with the exception noted below.

• A Form 4/A was filed on March 28, 2013 for Martin D. Leon Guerrero to report the purchase of shares of the Company’s common stock on March 19, 2013.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS

A VOTE “FOR” THE RATIFICATION OF THE SELECTION OF SQUAR, MILNER, PETERSON, MIRANDA &

WILLIAMSON, LLP FOR 2014

Previous Independent Public Accounting Firm

On November 14, 2011, BankGuam Holding Company (the “Company”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, the Bank of Guam (the “Bank”), terminated its engagement with Deloitte Guam, a member firm of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited (“Deloitte Guam”), as the independent auditor of the Company and the Bank. The Company’s and the Bank’s decision to dismiss Deloitte Guam is based on learning from Deloitte Guam that it is not registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (the “PCAOB”).

Deloitte Guam had been the independent auditor of the Bank since the fiscal year ended December 31, 2003. The decision to dismiss Deloitte Guam was approved by the Audit Committees of the Company and the Bank. During fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, and the subsequent interim periods through the date of Deloitte Guam’s dismissal, (i) there were no disagreements with Deloitte Guam on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement(s), if not resolved to the satisfaction of Deloitte Guam would have caused it to make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement(s) in connection with its reports, and (ii) there were no “reportable events” as defined in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K. The reports of Deloitte Guam on the Bank’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

On November 7, 2011, the Bank received notification from the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) that, as a result of Deloitte Guam’s failure to be registered with the PCAOB, the Bank must provide the FDIC with a written plan on how it will remedy the issue and identify the years for which Deloitte Guam audited the Bank’s financial statements but was not registered with the PCAOB. The financial statements at issue are only those included in periodic reports filed by the Bank with the FDIC. The Bank evaluated the matter, developed and furnished a plan to the FDIC, which the FDIC has accepted. In connection with the preparation of the Company’s quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2011, the Company engaged and worked with Deloitte Singapore, a member firm of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu Limited, which is a PCAOB-registered firm.

New Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

On November 17, 2011 the Company retained Squar Milner LLP as its independent accountant. Squar Milner LLP is licensed to practice public accounting in Guam. The Audit Committee of the Company approved the engagement of Squar Milner LLP, a PCAOB-registered firm, for the audit of the Company’s December 31, 2011 financial statements. The Audit Committee and the Board of the Company also approved engaging Squar Milner LLP to re-audit the Bank’s financial statements previously audited by Deloitte Guam for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010.

The audit reports on the financial statements of the Company and the Bank as of and for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011 were issued by Squar Milner LLP and did not contain an adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were they qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope, or accounting principles.

Following are disclosures regarding the fees billed by Squar Milner LLP during 2013, 2012 and 2011 and Deloitte Guam during 2009 and 2010.

The preapproval includes a review of the services to be undertaken and the estimated fees that will be incurred. The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of non-audit services by Squar Milner LLP is compatible with maintaining auditor independence.

PROPOSAL NUMBER 3:

APPROVAL OF BANKGUAM HOLDING COMPANY

EMPLOYEE STOCK SERVICE AWARD PLAN

At the Annual Meeting, shareholders will be asked to vote to approve the adoption of the Company’s Employee Stock Service Award Plan (the “Plan”). A general description of the principal terms of the Stock Service Award Plan is set forth below. The complete Plan is attached to this Proxy Statement as Exhibit A.

Summary of Stock Service Award Plan

The purpose of the Plan is to reward employees of the Company and its subsidiaries for long-term service through the payment of stock, cash or a combination of both. The Plan is not an “employee pension benefit plan” or “employee welfare benefit plan” under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended.

The Plan will be administered by the Board of Directors of the Company or a committee appointed by the Board. As the administrator, the Board of Directors (or its appointed committee) will have sole discretionary authority to interpret the terms of the Plan and to determine eligibility to receive Service Awards. Its findings, decisions and determinations will be final and binding upon all participants. The proposed Plan reserves 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock for issuance thereunder, subject to adjustment in the event of a stock split, stock dividend or other similar change in the common stock or the capital structure of the Company, and subject to certain limitations under applicable laws and regulations.

All employees of the Company and its subsidiaries are eligible to participate in the Plan, which comprises of executive officers, non-executive officers and non-officer employees. There are approximately 13 executive officers, 238 non-executive officers and 300 non-officer employees. Under the Plan, an eligible employee who completes increments of five-year periods of service with the Company or its subsidiaries will be entitled to payment of an award as specified in the following table:

Years of Continuous Service	Shares Covered by the Service Award
5 years	50
10 years	100
15 years	300
20 years	500
25 years	750
30 years	1,200
35 years	2,000

The employee elects whether to receive the award in the form of shares or cash or both. The award is paid to the employee as soon as practicable (and within at least 30 days) after the anniversary date of completion of the relevant years triggering the award. The amount paid for a cash payment of award is (1) the product of the number of shares under the award selected for cash and (2) the fair market value of the shares as of the relevant anniversary date.

27

The following table sets forth the amounts that will be received by or allocated to each of the following under the Plan in 2014:

Name and position	Dollar value ($)*		Number of Shares
CEO		0		0
COO		0		0
CFO		0		0
Other Executive Group		0		0
Non-Executive Officer Group	$	112,000		11,200
Non-Officer Group	$	15,500		1,550

* Value of aggregate amount of award calculated using estimated $10 per share fair market value for the Company common stock.

The Plan does not create any right regarding an employee’s employment with the Company or its subsidiaries nor does an employee hold any rights of a shareholder (unless already a shareholder) until shares under the Plan are actually issued to such employee. In addition, nothing in the Plan limits the right of the Company to terminate or otherwise modify an employee’s employment at any time.

The Plan becomes effective upon its approval by shareholder and continues until it is terminated by the Board. The Board may amend or terminate the Plan at any time and for any reason.

Required Vote

The approval of a majority of the shares represented at the Annual Meeting is required to approve the Company’s Employee Stock Service Award Plan.
