Purchase Agreement and Related Transactions

On July 18, 2016, Matson Logistics, Inc. (“Matson Logistics”), a wholly-owned indirect subsidiary of Matson, Inc. (“Matson”), entered into a Membership Interest Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) by and between Matson Logistics and Span Holdings, LLC (“Holdings”).  The Purchase Agreement provides for, among other things, the purchase by Matson Logistics of 100% of the membership interests of Span Intermediate, LLC (the “Span Alaska”), with Span Alaska becoming a wholly-owned subsidiary of Matson Logistics (the “Transaction”).  The Transaction is expected to close in the third quarter 2016 after expiration or early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act and satisfaction of other customary closing conditions.

The total consideration for the Transaction is $197.6 million on a debt free, cash free basis, and is subject to working capital and other closing adjustments (the “Purchase Price”).  Holdings will pay all debt and its transaction expenses from the proceeds of the Purchase Price.

The consummation of the Transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among others, the absence of a material adverse effect in connection with Span Alaska’s business.  The Purchase Agreement contains customary representations, warranties and covenants of Holdings and Matson Logistics, including covenants to use reasonable best efforts to obtain any required regulatory consents.  The Purchase Agreement also contains customary provisions for termination by either party in the event of breach or failure to perform by the other party, subject to a cure period, or by either party in the event the customary closing conditions are not fulfilled by November 15, 2016.  Additionally, Matson Logistics may terminate the Purchase Agreement if a certain key employee communicates to Matson Logistics the intent to not continue employment after the closing date of the Transaction.

The foregoing summary of the Purchase Agreement, and the transactions contemplated thereby, does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Purchase Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.

The Purchase Agreement and the above descriptions have been included to provide security holders with information regarding the terms of the Purchase Agreement. They are not intended to provide any other factual information about Matson, Matson Logistics, Holdings, Span Alaska or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates or security holders. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Purchase Agreement were made only for purposes of such agreement and as of specific dates; were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Purchase Agreement, as applicable; and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties. Investors should be aware that the representations, warranties and covenants or any description thereof may not reflect the actual state of facts or condition of Matson, Matson Logistics, Holdings, Span Alaska or any of their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, businesses or security holders. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Purchase Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures by Matson or Holdings. Accordingly, investors should read the representations and warranties in the Purchase Agreement not in isolation but only in conjunction with the other information about Matson, Matson Logistics, Holdings or Span Alaska and their respective subsidiaries that the respective companies include in reports, statements and other filings they make with the SEC.

(b)Each party agrees to timely file any form required to be filed by applicable Tax Law reflecting the Price Allocation (including IRS Form 8594 and any similar filing required by applicable state or local Tax Law).  The Price Allocation made pursuant to this Section 2.5 shall be binding on the Buyer and the Seller for all income Tax reporting purposes.  Neither the Buyer nor the Seller shall take any position inconsistent with the Price Allocation in connection with any income Tax proceeding, except to the extent that (i) the Buyer’s cost for the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries may differ from the amount so allocated to the extent necessary to reflect its capitalized acquisition costs not included in the amount realized by the Seller or (ii) the amount treated as purchase price has changed by reason of payments of amounts between the Buyer and the Seller subsequent to the Closing Date that were not previously reflected in the Price Allocation.  If any Governmental Authority disputes the Price Allocation, the party receiving notice of the dispute shall promptly notify the other party hereto, and the parties shall cooperate in good faith in responding to such dispute in order to preserve the effectiveness of the Price Allocation.

(c)Any indemnification or other payment treated as an adjustment to the Purchase Price pursuant to Section 8.8 hereof or otherwise, or any other payment treated as an adjustment to the purchase price for the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries under applicable Law, shall be reflected as an adjustment to the price allocated to a specific asset, if

17

any, giving rise to the adjustment and if any such adjustment does not relate to a specific asset, such adjustment shall be allocated among the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries in accordance with this Section 2.5.

Section 2.6Withholding Rights.  The Buyer and its agents shall be entitled to deduct and withhold from any consideration otherwise payable to any Person pursuant to this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements such amounts as it determines it is required to deduct and withhold with respect to the making of such payment under the Code or any provision of applicable Tax Law.  Any such deducted and withheld amounts that are paid over to the proper Governmental Authority shall be treated for all purposes of this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements as having been paid to the applicable Person in respect of whom such deduction and withholding was made.

(d)Neither the Seller nor the Buyer shall have any liability with respect to any representations, warranties, covenants or agreements unless notice of an actual or threatened claim, or of discovery of any facts or circumstances that the Seller or the Buyer, as the case may be, reasonably believes may result in a claim, hereunder is given to the other party prior to the expiration of the survival period for such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement, in which case such representation, warranty, covenant or agreement shall survive solely as to such claim until such claim has been finally resolved and, if applicable, paid, without the requirement of commencing any Action in order to extend such survival period or preserve such claim.

Section 8.2Indemnification by the Seller.  From and after the Closing, the Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer and its Affiliates (including the Company and its Subsidiaries) and the respective Representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, “Buyer Indemnified Parties”) of each of the foregoing from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, deficiencies, claims, diminution of value, interest, awards, judgments, penalties, Taxes, costs and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and expenses, costs and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred in investigating, preparing or defending the foregoing) (hereinafter collectively, “Losses”), incurred, sustained or suffered by any of the Buyer Indemnified Parties as a result of, arising out of or relating to:

(a)any breach of (i) any representation or warranty made by the Seller contained in this Agreement as supplemented by any schedule to this Agreement (which representations and warranties shall be deemed not qualified by (I) any references therein to materiality or Material Adverse Effect (except for the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.1(a)(ii), Section 3.7 and clause (b) of Section 3.8, each of which shall be deemed so qualified) for purposes of (x) determining whether there has been any breach of any such representation or warranty and (y) calculating the amount of Losses with respect thereto, and (II) any supplements or updates to the Disclosure Schedules occurring after the date hereof), and (ii) the certificates delivered pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(ix), Section 7.3(a)(iv) and Section 7.3(h);

60

(b)any breach of any pre-Closing covenant or agreement by the Seller contained in this Agreement (including as a result of the action or failure to act of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries);

(c)any breach of any post-Closing covenant or agreement by the Seller contained in this Agreement or the Assumption Agreement; and

(d)any Indebtedness or Transaction Expenses charged to the Buyer, the Company or any of their Subsidiaries or their Affiliates, other than to the extent such Indebtedness or Transaction Expenses were reflected in the Final Closing Statement and the calculation of the Purchase Price.

Section 8.3Indemnification by the Buyer.  From and after the Closing, the Buyer shall indemnify and hold harmless the Seller and its Affiliates and the respective Representatives, successors and assigns (collectively, “Seller Indemnified Parties”) of each of the foregoing from and against any and all Losses incurred, sustained or suffered by any of the Seller Indemnified Parties as a result of, arising out of or relating to:

(a)any breach of (i) any representation or warranty made by the Buyer contained in this Agreement as supplemented by any schedule to this Agreement (which representations and warranties shall be deemed not qualified by (I) any references therein to materiality or Material Adverse Effect for purposes of (x) determining whether there has been any breach of any such representation or warranty and (y) calculating the amount of Losses with respect thereto, and (II) any supplements or updates to the Disclosure Schedules occurring after the date hereof), and (ii) the certificates delivered pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(viii) and 7.2(a)(iii);

(b)any breach of any pre-Closing covenant or agreement by the Buyer contained in this Agreement; and

(c)any breach of any post-Closing covenant or agreement by the Buyer contained in this Agreement (including as a result of the action or failure to act of the Buyer or any of its Subsidiaries after the Closing).

Section 8.4Procedures.

(a)A Person seeking indemnification (the “Indemnified Party”) in respect of, arising out of or involving a Loss in respect of a claim or demand made by any Person against the Indemnified Party (a “Third Party Claim”) shall deliver notice (a “Claim Notice”) in respect thereof to the party against whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) with reasonable promptness after receipt by such Indemnified Party of notice of the Third Party Claim and the determination by such Indemnified Party that such Third Party Claim has given or could give rise to a right of indemnification under this Agreement, and shall provide the Indemnifying Party with such information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request.  Without limiting the provisions of Section 8.1, the failure to deliver a Claim Notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under Article VI and this Article VIII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure.

61

(b)If the Indemnifying Party acknowledges in writing its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party against any and all Losses that may result from a Third Party Claim that is exclusively for civil monetary damages at law, the Indemnifying Party shall have the right, upon written notice to the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days of receipt of a Claim Notice from the Indemnified Party in respect of such Third Party Claim, to assume the defense thereof at the expense of the Indemnifying Party (which expenses shall not be applied against any indemnity limitation herein) with counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party and reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim that primarily seeks equitable or injunctive relief or for any claim that would impose criminal liability or damages, and the Indemnified Party shall have the right to defend, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, any such Third Party Claims.  If the Indemnifying Party does not expressly elect (or is not entitled) to assume the defense of such Third Party Claim within the time period and otherwise in accordance with the first sentence of this Section 8.4(b), the Indemnified Party shall have the sole right to assume the defense of and to settle, with the consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), such Third Party Claim.  If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party unless (i) the employment of such counsel shall have been specifically authorized in writing by the Indemnifying Party or (ii) the named parties to the Third Party Claim (including any impleaded parties) include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that representation by counsel to the Indemnifying Party of both the Indemnifying Party and such Indemnified Party may present such counsel with a conflict of interest (it being understood that, in such case, such legal fees and expenses may constitute Losses hereunder).  If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, cooperate with the Indemnifying Party in such defense and make available to the Indemnifying Party all witnesses, pertinent records, materials and information in the Indemnified Party’s possession or under the Indemnified Party’s control relating thereto as is reasonably required by the Indemnifying Party.  If the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of any Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, enter into any settlement or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to such Third Party Claim if such settlement, compromise or judgment (i) involves a finding or admission of wrongdoing, (ii) does not include an unconditional written release by the claimant or plaintiff of the Indemnified Party from all liability in respect of such Third Party Claim or (iii) imposes equitable remedies or any obligation on the Indemnified Party other than solely the payment of money damages for which the Indemnified Party will be indemnified hereunder.

(c)An Indemnified Party seeking indemnification in respect of, arising out of or involving a Loss in respect of a claim or demand hereunder that does not involve a Third Party Claim being asserted against or sought to be collected from such Indemnified Party (a “Direct Claim,”) shall deliver a Claim Notice in respect thereof to the Indemnifying Party with reasonable promptness after becoming aware of facts supporting such Direct Claim, and shall provide the Indemnifying Party with such information with respect thereto as the Indemnifying Party may reasonably request.  Without limiting the provisions of Section 8.1, the failure to

62

deliver a Claim Notice, however, shall not release the Indemnifying Party from any of its obligations under Article VI and this Article VIII except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced by such failure and shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any other obligation or liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party or pursuant to Article VI and this Article VIII.  If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within thirty (30) days following its receipt of a Claim Notice in respect of a Direct Claim that the Indemnifying Party disputes its liability to the Indemnified Party hereunder, such Direct Claim specified by the Indemnified Party in such Claim Notice shall be conclusively deemed a Loss hereunder.  If the Indemnifying Party agrees that it has an indemnification obligation but asserts that it is obligated for a lesser amount than that claimed by the Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall pay or direct the Escrow Agent to release payment from the Indemnity Escrow Account, as applicable, such lesser amount promptly to the Indemnified Party, without prejudice to or waiver of the Indemnified Party’s claim for the difference.

(d)The indemnification of the Buyer Indemnified Parties required under this Agreement shall be made, to the extent available, by prompt payment by the Escrow Agent (to the extent of any amounts then available in the Indemnity Escrow Account if applicable) or payment made by the Indemnifying Party (to the extent of any amounts not then available in the Indemnity Escrow Account if applicable) of the amount of Losses in connection therewith.  With respect to indemnification required under this Agreement for Losses arising out of or relating to Fundamental Representations or Fundamental Pre-Closing Covenants, Losses arising out of or relating to the Earnout Obligations described in Section 5.8 or Losses described in Section 6.2, the Buyer may elect to payment by the Escrow Agent from the Indemnity Escrow Account as set forth in Section 8.5 or by payment made by the Indemnifying Party.

(e)The Indemnifying Party shall not be entitled to require that any action be made or brought against any other Person before action is brought or claim is made against it hereunder by the Indemnified Party.

(f)Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 10.9, each Indemnifying Party hereby consents to the nonexclusive jurisdiction of any court in which an Action in respect of a Third Party Claim is brought against any Indemnified Party for purposes of any claim that an Indemnified Party may have under this Agreement with respect to such Action or the matters alleged therein and agrees that process may be served on each Indemnifying Party with respect to such claim anywhere.

(g)For purposes of this Article VIII, whether there has been a breach of a representation in Section 3.17 and the amount of Losses payable in connection with any such breach shall be determined without regard to any information set forth in the Disclosure Schedules (other than (i) solely with respect to the last sentence of Section 3.17(a), the information set forth in Schedule 3.17(a) of the Disclosure Schedules and (ii) solely with respect to the first sentence of Section 3.17(h), the identification of the Tax Actions set forth in Schedule 3.17(h) of the Disclosure Schedules).

Section 8.5Indemnity Escrow for Claims Against the Seller. From and after the Closing (but subject to the provisions of Article VI and this Article VIII) the Buyer Indemnified Parties shall be entitled to receive amounts from the Indemnity Escrow Account in respect of any

63

Losses incurred by the Buyer Indemnified Parties under Section 6.2 and Section 8.2 hereof.  The Buyer Indemnified Parties’ sole and exclusive recourse in respect of the matters identified in Sections 8.2(a) and 8.2(b) (except for such matters arising from the representations and warranties of the Seller identified in Section 8.6(a)(A) and the pre-Closing covenants to be performed by the Seller identified in Section 8.6(a)(B)) shall be the amounts then remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Account, and such recourse may be sought only in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement.  No Person (including Seller or any of its members or its or their respective Affiliates) shall have any obligation to fund or replenish the Indemnity Escrow Account at any time after the Closing.

Section 8.6Limits on Indemnification.

(a)Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement:

(i)an Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any claim for indemnification pursuant to Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.3(a), as the case may be, unless and until the aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from the Indemnifying Party equals or exceeds $987,500.00 in the aggregate (the “Deductible”), in which case the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible only for such Losses exceeding the Deductible;

(ii)the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from an Indemnifying Party arising out of or relating to the causes set forth in Section 8.2(a) or Section 8.2(b), as the case may be, shall be an amount equal to the amount then remaining in the Indemnity Escrow Account; and

(iii)the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered from an Indemnifying Party arising out of or relating to the causes set forth in Section 8.3(a) or Section 8.3(b), as the case may be, shall be an amount equal to the Indemnity Escrow Amount.

provided, that the foregoing clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii) and (a)(iii) shall not apply to Losses arising out of or relating to:

(A)the inaccuracy or breach of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Sections 3.1 and 4.1, Sections 3.2 and 4.2, Section 3.4, Section 3.5, Section 3.6, Section 3.17 and Section 3.30 (Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.4, 3.5, 3.6, 3.17, 3.30, 4.1 and 4.2 are collectively referred to herein as the “Fundamental Representations”); and

(B)the intentional breach of any covenants and agreements of the Seller and the Buyer set forth in Sections 5.1(a) through 5.1(v), Section 5.2(c), Section 5.3, Sections 5.5 through 5.13 (excluding Section 5.7) (collectively, the “Fundamental Pre-Closing Covenants”) of the Seller and the Buyer contained in this Agreement, it being understood that, for purposes of this Article VIII, “intentional breach” shall mean an action taken (which may include a decision not to take an action) with willful disregard or actual conscious awareness that such action constitutes a breach;

64

provided further, that the maximum aggregate amount of indemnifiable Losses which may be recovered arising out of or relating to Section 8.2 shall be an amount equal to the Purchase Price as of the Closing.

(b)Without limiting Section 8.4(e) above, any Losses claimed hereunder shall be net of any proceeds actually recovered under any insurance policy of the Company and its Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 3.21 of the Disclosure Schedules by any Person entitled to indemnification or escrow recovery, as applicable, hereunder.  In the event that an insurance recovery under any insurance policy of the Company and its Subsidiaries listed on Schedule 3.21 of the Disclosure Schedules is made by any such Person with respect to any Loss for which any such Person has been indemnified or otherwise recovered hereunder, then a refund equal to the aggregate net amount of the insurance recovery shall be made promptly to the Person providing the indemnity or other recovery (in the case of recovery from the Indemnity Escrow Account, such Person being Seller).

(c)Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall any Person be entitled to recover or make a claim for any amounts in respect of punitive or exemplary damages (except to the extent payable to a third party in connection with a Third Party Claim).

(d)None of the provisions in this Article 8 (other than Section 8.9) shall apply with respect to a fraud claim.

Section 8.7Remedies Not Affected by Investigation, Disclosure or Knowledge.  If the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated, the Buyer expressly reserves the right to seek indemnity for any Losses arising out of or relating to any breach of any representation, warranty or covenant contained herein, notwithstanding any investigation by, disclosure to, knowledge or imputed knowledge of the Buyer or any of its Representatives in respect of any fact or circumstance that reveals the occurrence of any such breach, whether before or after the execution and delivery hereof.  In furtherance of the foregoing, the Seller agrees that as knowledge or lack of reliance shall not be a defense to any indemnity claim for breach of representation, warranty or covenant by the Seller herein, the Seller shall not in such proceeding for an indemnity claim hereunder seek to introduce evidence or argument in any such proceeding regarding the knowledge or lack of reliance of the Buyer or any of its Representatives prior to the Closing on or with respect to any such representations, warranties or covenants with respect to such indemnity claims.

Section 8.8Treatment of Indemnification Payments.  The parties agree to treat all indemnification payments (whether paid directly by the Indemnifying Party or from the Indemnity Escrow Account) made under Section 6.2 and this Article VIII as an adjustment to the Purchase Price for income tax purposes, unless otherwise required by applicable Law.

Section 8.9Remedies.  After the Closing, Section 2.4, Section 2.5, Article VI, this Article VIII and Section 10.11 will provide the exclusive remedies for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or other claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement and/or the transactions contemplated hereby, except for claims for fraud.  The remedies

65

expressly available to a party hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedy which is expressly available to a party hereunder.

ARTICLE IX
TERMINATION

Section 9.1Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing:

(a)by mutual written consent of the Buyer and the Seller;

(b)(i) by the Seller, if the Seller is not then in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement and the Buyer breaches or fails to perform in any respect any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement and such breach or failure to perform (A) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.2, (B) cannot be or has not been cured within ten (10) days following delivery to the Buyer of written notice of such breach or failure to perform and (C) has not been waived by the Seller; provided that neither a breach or violation of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 4.4 nor the Buyer’s failure to make any of the payments required to be made by the Buyer at the Closing in accordance with Section 2.2 shall be subject to notice or cure hereunder, unless the Buyer’s failure to make any such payments at the Closing is due to a closure of financial institutions in the United States resulting from an act of God, an outbreak of war, military acts or acts of terrorism, in which case such failure to pay shall be subject to cure no later than two (2) Business Days following such failure; or (ii) by the Buyer, if the Buyer is not then in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement and the Seller breaches or fails to perform in any respect any of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement and such breach or failure to perform (A) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 7.3, (B) cannot be or has not been cured within ten (10) days following delivery to the Seller of written notice of such breach or failure to perform and (C) has not been waived by the Buyer;

(c)(i) by the Seller, if any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.2 shall have become incapable of fulfillment prior to the date that is 120 days from the date of this Agreement (the “End Date”)  or (ii) by the Buyer, if any of the conditions set forth in Section 7.1 or Section 7.3 shall have become incapable of fulfillment prior to the End Date; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(c) shall not be available if the failure of the party so requesting termination to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement shall have been the cause of, or shall have resulted in, the failure of such condition to be satisfied on or prior to such date;

(d)by the Buyer if (i) the first Key Employee set forth on Schedule A communicates to an officer of the Buyer that he will not continue employment under the terms of the Employment Agreement on or after the Closing Date (other than as a result of the termination of such Employment Agreement by the Buyer) or such Key Employee has entered into a termination agreement with respect to such Employment Agreement prior to the Closing Date or commenced negotiations in such regard or (ii) the first Key Employee set forth on Schedule A provides a notice of termination (but with it being understood that the foregoing termination right

66

of the Buyer shall terminate with respect to such Key Employee if such termination right is not exercised by the Buyer (A) within thirty (30) days following the occurrence of any event described in the foregoing clause (i), or (B) within thirty (30) days following (x) the occurrence of any event described in the foregoing clause (ii) if such writing is delivered to the Buyer or any of its Affiliates in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, or (y) the Seller’s delivery of notice to the Buyer in accordance with the terms of this Agreement of the occurrence of any event described in the foregoing clause (ii) if such writing is delivered to the Seller or any of its Affiliates).

(e)by either the Seller or the Buyer if the Closing shall not have occurred by the End Date; provided, that the right to terminate this Agreement under this Section 9.1(e) shall not be available if the failure of the party so requesting termination to fulfill any obligation under this Agreement shall have been the cause of, or shall have resulted in, the failure of the Closing to occur on or prior to such date; or

(f)by either the Seller or the Buyer in the event that any Governmental Authority shall have issued an order, decree or ruling or taken any other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such order, decree, ruling or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; provided, that the party so requesting termination shall have used its reasonable best efforts (subject to Section 5.7) to have such order, decree, ruling or other action vacated.

The party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1 (other than Section 9.1(a)) shall give prompt written notice of such termination to the other party.

Section 9.2Effect of Termination.  In the event of termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 9.1, this Agreement shall forthwith become void and there shall be no liability on the part of either party except (a) for the provisions of Article X and this Section 9.2 and Section 9.3, each of which shall survive the termination of this Agreement in accordance with their terms and (b) that nothing in this Agreement shall relieve any party hereto from liability for its fraud or a knowing, intentional and material breach or failure to perform any of its covenants or agreements in this Agreement made as of the date hereof or subsequent thereto pursuant to this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, if the Buyer or the Seller does not consummate the transactions contemplated hereby at the time required hereby in circumstances in which all of the conditions set forth in Sections 7.1 and 7.2 or 7.3, as applicable, have been satisfied (or could be satisfied at the Closing), such circumstance or failure to close shall be deemed to be a knowing, intentional and material breach of this Agreement.

Section 9.3Remedies.  The parties to this Agreement may terminate this Agreement only pursuant to Section 9.1 and, following any such termination, or if the Closing does not otherwise occur, each party’s sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims for any breach or liability under this Agreement or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby shall be as provided in Section 9.2 hereof; provided that nothing in this Section 9.3 shall prevent a party from electing to not terminate this Agreement and instead seeking equitable relief (including specific performance) as contemplated by Section 10.11.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

MATSON LOGISTICS TO ACQUIRE SPAN ALASKA

·Span Alaska is a market leading provider of LCL freight consolidation and forwarding services to Alaska

·Cash transaction valued at $197.6 million, no assumption of debt

·Transaction expected to be $0.10 to $0.12  accretive to annual EPS, excluding one-time costs

·Matson enters into agreement for $200 million 15-year Senior Unsecured Notes at 3.14% Fixed Rate

·Conference call at 5:30 PM Eastern Time today

HONOLULU, Hawaii (July 18, 2016) — Matson, Inc. (“Matson;” NYSE: MATX)  today announced that its subsidiary Matson Logistics, Inc. (“Matson Logistics”) and Span Alaska have entered into a definitive agreement pursuant to which Matson Logistics will acquire 100% of the equity of Span Alaska Transportation, LLC ( “Span Alaska”), for a cash purchase price of $197.6 million (the “Transaction”).  The Transaction is expected to be treated as an asset purchase agreement for federal tax purposes which will allow for a step-up in tax basis of the assets producing an anticipated approximate $35 million net present value benefit to Matson.

Matson expects to fund the Transaction from available borrowings under its revolving credit facility and the Transaction is expected to close in the third quarter 2016, subject to Hart-Scott-Rodino waiting period and other customary closing conditions.  Matson also announced today that it has entered into a commitment letter under which it expects to issue $200 million of 15-year senior unsecured notes (the “Notes”) at a fixed interest rate of 3.14 percent within the next 60 days. Proceeds of the Notes are expected to be used to pay down the Company’s revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

“The acquisition of Span Alaska underscores Matson’s long term commitment to Alaska and our mission to move freight better than anyone,” said Matt Cox, president and CEO of Matson.  “This investment will significantly expand Matson Logistics’ platform into freight forwarding in Alaska, where Span Alaska’s market leading value-added LCL consolidation model and focus on customer service and reliability will further solidify Matson’s position as a critical freight transportation provider to Alaska.  As a subsidiary of Matson Logistics, Span Alaska will continue to be led by its experienced management team and operate under the trusted Span Alaska banner, independent of Matson’s ocean transportation operations.”

“We are pleased to lock in another tranche of attractive long-term fixed rate debt at 3.14 percent,” said Joel Wine, Matson’s Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. “After the closings of the Transaction and Notes, we expect our $400 million revolving credit facility to have approximately $345 million of unused capacity and our balance sheet leverage to remain below long-term targeted levels.  This strong

liquidity and balance sheet position, along with the significant cash flow generated by our core businesses, positions Matson well to fund our existing fleet renewal commitments, consider additional fleet investments, and return capital to shareholders.”

Overview of Span Alaska

Span Alaska is a market leading provider of Less-than-Container Load (“LCL”) freight consolidation and forwarding services to Alaska.  Founded in 1978, Span Alaska is an asset-light logistics business that aggregates customers’ freight in Auburn, WA for consolidation and shipment to seven terminals in Alaska where the freight is deconsolidated before final delivery.  As a complement to its core LCL services, Span Alaska provides trucking services which include drayage to and from the Port of Tacoma and delivery to customers’ final destinations in Alaska.  Span Alaska has been a customer of Matson’s Alaska operations for more than 30 years and is currently Matson’s largest northbound freight customer to Alaska.

Financial Information

Span Alaska’s current estimated EBITDA run rate is approximately $21 million on an annual basis; however, Matson expects the business to trend somewhat lower over the next year or two based on an anticipated more challenging macroeconomic and freight environment in Alaska.

Excluding the one-time items noted below, Matson expects the Transaction to be immediately accretive to earnings per share (“EPS”), providing annual EPS accretion of approximately $0.10 to $0.12.

In the third and fourth quarters of 2016, Matson expects one-time pre-tax transaction closing and integration costs to be approximately $4.0 to 5.0 million.  Matson expects the business integration to be substantially complete by year-end 2016.

Transaction Funding and Long-term Note Financing

Matson expects to fund the $197.6 million Transaction at closing from available borrowings under its $400 million revolving credit facility, of which approximately $345 million is currently unused.  Matson will not assume any Span Alaska debt in the Transaction.

Matson also announced that it has entered into a private placement commitment letter pursuant to which Matson expects to issue $200 million of 15-year senior unsecured notes, the proceeds of which are expected to be used to pay down the Company’s revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes. The Notes are expected to have a weighted average life of approximately 8.5 years and will bear interest at a rate of 3.14 percent, payable semi-annually.  The Notes are expected to be issued within the next 60 days, subject to satisfying customary closing conditions.  The Notes are expected to have financial and other covenants that are substantially the same as the covenants in the Company’s existing outstanding senior unsecured notes.

Transaction Advisors

Raymond James is serving as financial advisor to Matson and issued a fairness opinion in conjunction with the Transaction.  Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP is serving as Matson’s legal advisor.

Addendum – Non-GAAP Measures Matson reports financial results in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). The Company also considers other non-GAAP measures to evaluate performance, make day-to-day operating decisions, help investors understand our ability to incur and service debt and to make capital expenditures, and to understand period-over-period operating results separate and apart from items that may, or could, have a disproportional positive or negative impact on results in any particular period. These non-GAAP measures include, but are not limited to, Earnings Before Interest, Depreciation and Amortization (“EBITDA”), and Net Debt/EBITDA. EBITDA is defined as the sum of net income, less income or loss from discontinued operations, plus income tax expense, interest expense and depreciation and amortization (including deferred dry-docking amortization). EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (as determined in accordance with GAAP), as an indicator of our operating performance, or to cash flows from operating activities (as determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of liquidity. Our calculation of EBITDA may not be comparable to EBITDA as calculated by other companies, nor is this calculation identical to the EBITDA used by our lenders to determine financial covenant compliance.
