PROXY STATEMENT

General Information Regarding the Annual Meeting

This proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors of Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc., a Hawaii corporation, for the 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, or the Annual Meeting, to be held on Wednesday, April 28, 2021 at 8:30 a.m., local time, via conference call at (866) 316-1519, PIN = 42323766#, due to local restrictions and guidelines related to the COVID-19 pandemic, or any continuation, postponement or adjournment thereof, for the purposes discussed in this Proxy Statement. Proxies are solicited to give all shareholders of record an opportunity to vote on matters properly presented at the Annual Meeting.

In accordance with rules and regulations adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, instead of mailing a printed copy of our proxy materials to each shareholder of record, we are furnishing proxy materials on the Internet. You will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials unless you request them. If you would prefer to receive printed proxy materials, please follow the instructions for requesting such materials contained in the Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials. This process is designed to expedite shareholders' receipt of proxy materials, lower the cost of the Annual Meeting and help conserve natural resources.

On or around March 18, 2021, we mailed to our shareholders – other than to certain street name shareholders or those who previously requested electronic or paper delivery – an Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials, which contains instructions on how you may access and review on the Internet all of our proxy materials, including this Proxy Statement and our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. The Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials also instructs you on how you may vote your proxy on the Internet.

As used in this Proxy Statement, the terms the “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc.

Who Can Vote

Holders of record of shares of our Common Stock, no par value, at the close of business on March 9, 2021, the Record Date, will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. The securities entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting consist of shares of Common Stock, with each share entitling its owner to one vote per share on each matter properly brought before the Annual Meeting. Shareholders will not be entitled to cumulate their votes in the election of directors.

Your shares may be voted at the Annual Meeting only if you attending via conference call or represented by a valid proxy. If you wish to vote your shares by proxy, you can vote by using the Internet, by telephone, by requesting a paper proxy card to complete and return by mail or by following the voting instructions forwarded by your bank, broker, or other holder of record. Voting by proxy on the Internet or by telephone may not be available to all shareholders. For specific instructions on voting, please refer to the Important Notice Regarding the Availability of Proxy Materials or the information forwarded by your bank, broker or other holder of record.

The Internet and telephone voting facilities will close at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on April 27, 2021. Shareholders who vote through the Internet should be aware that they may incur costs to access the Internet, such as usage charges from telephone companies or Internet service providers and that these costs must be borne by the shareholder. Shareholders who vote by Internet or telephone need not return a proxy card by mail. If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” by a broker, bank or other nominee, collectively referred to in this Proxy Statement as a “Nominee” then your Nominee, as the record owner of the shares, must vote those shares in accordance with your instructions. Please refer to the instructions they will provide to you for voting your shares.

A list of shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available for examination by any shareholder for any purpose germane to the Annual Meeting during ordinary business hours at our principal corporate office at 200 Village Road, Lahaina, Hawaii 96761 for the ten days prior to the Annual Meeting.

Shares Outstanding and Quorum

As of the Record Date, approximately 19,389,858 shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding. Votes cast by proxy or via conference call at the Annual Meeting will be tabulated to determine whether or not a quorum is present for the transaction of business at the meeting. A quorum will exist if a majority of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Record Date are represented at the meeting, either via conference call or by proxy.

2

Proxies

Shares of our Common Stock represented by properly executed proxies received by us at or prior to the Annual Meeting and not subsequently revoked will be voted as directed in those proxies. If no directions are given by a proxy, shares represented thereby will be voted (i) in favor of electing our Board’s five nominees as directors; (ii) in favor of approving the compensation paid to our named executive officers; and (iii) in favor of the ratification of Accuity LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm. The proxy confers discretionary authority on the persons it names as to all other matters that may come before the Annual Meeting and at any continuation, postponement, or adjournment thereof. Our Board of Directors, or our Board, knows of no other items of business that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting other than those described in this Proxy Statement. In addition, no shareholder proposals or nominations were received on a timely basis, so no such matters may be brought to a vote at the Annual Meeting.

Abstentions and Broker Non‑Votes

Abstentions

When an eligible voter attends the meeting via conference call but decides not to vote, his or her decision not to vote is called an “abstention.” Properly executed proxies that indicate “abstain” or “withhold authority” on any proposal will be treated as abstentions for that proposal. We will treat abstentions as follows:

• abstention shares are deemed present and entitled to vote for purposes of establishing a quorum;

• abstention shares will be treated as not voting for purposes of determining the outcome on any proposal for which the minimum vote required for approval of the proposal is a plurality (or a majority or some other percentage) of the votes actually cast, and thus will have no effect on the outcome; and

• abstention shares will have the same effect as votes against a proposal if the minimum vote required for approval of the proposal is a majority (or some other percentage) of (i) the shares present and entitled to vote, or (ii) all shares outstanding and entitled to vote.

Broker Non‑Votes

If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” by a Nominee, then your Nominee, as the record owner of the shares, must vote those shares in accordance with your instructions. “Broker non‑votes” occur when shares held by a Nominee for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because (i) the broker does not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner, and (ii) such proposal is a non‑routine proposal for which the Nominee lacks the discretionary authority to vote the shares. Whether a proposal is routine or non‑routine is determined under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange, or NYSE. Thus, when no voting instructions are received and a Nominee lacks the discretion to vote on his or her clients’ behalf, Nominees are generally required to return the proxy (or a substitute) marked with an indication that the Nominee lacks voting power over that particular proposal. This type of response is known as a “broker non‑vote.” We will treat broker non‑votes as follows:

• broker non‑votes are deemed present and entitled to vote for purposes of establishing a quorum;

• broker non‑votes will not be treated as shares present and entitled to vote for purposes of any matter requiring the affirmative vote of a majority (or some other percentage) of the shares present and entitled to vote (even though the same shares may be considered present for quorum purposes and may be entitled to vote on other matters). Thus, a broker non‑vote will not affect the outcome of the voting on a proposal that requires the affirmative vote of a plurality (or a majority or some other percentage) of (i) the votes cast or (ii) the voting power present and entitled to vote on that proposal for approval; and

• broker non‑votes will have the same effect as a vote against a proposal that requires an affirmative vote of the holders of a majority (or some other percentage) of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on such proposal for approval.

Proposal Nos. 1 and 2 relating to the election of directors and advisory votes concerning executive compensation are considered non‑routine and therefore cannot be voted upon by your Nominee. Proposal No. 3 relating to the ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm is considered to be routine and therefore may be voted upon by your Nominee if you do not give instructions for the shares held by such Nominee.

3

Counting of Votes

Directors are elected by a plurality of votes cast, so the nominees who receive the most votes will be elected. Abstentions will not be taken into account in determining the election of directors and broker non‑votes will result if we do not receive voting instructions from your Nominee because the election of directors is a non‑discretionary matter. Broker non-votes will not be counted for any purpose in determining whether this proposal has been approved.

Approval of the non‑binding advisory resolution regarding the compensation of our named executive officers will require the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares attending via conference call or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes against the proposals. Broker non‑votes will not be counted for any purpose in determining whether this proposal has been approved.

Ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm will require an affirmative vote of a majority of shares present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes against the proposal. Because the ratification of our independent registered public accounting firm is a routine matter, broker non‑votes will not result for this item.

Revocation of Proxy

If you are a shareholder of record and vote by proxy, you may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted by:

• signing and returning another proxy card bearing a later date;

• submitting another proxy on the Internet or by telephone (your latest telephone or Internet voting instructions are followed); or

• submitting written notice of revocation to our Chief Financial Officer prior to or at the Annual Meeting or voting at the Annual Meeting.

Your attendance at the Annual Meeting via conference call will not have the effect of revoking your proxy unless you give written notice of revocation to our Chief Financial Officer before the polls are closed. Any written notice revoking a proxy should be sent to our Chief Financial Officer at 200 Village Road, Lahaina, Hawaii 96761, and must be received before the polls are closed.

If your shares are held in the name of a Nominee, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your Nominee. Please note that if your shares are held of record by a Nominee and you decide to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting, your vote via conference call at the Annual Meeting will not be effective unless you present a legal proxy, issued in your name from your Nominee in advance of the Annual Meeting.

Solicitation of Proxies

We will bear the entire cost of solicitation of proxies, including preparation, assembly and mailing (when requested) of this Proxy Statement, the proxy and any additional information furnished to shareholders. Copies of solicitation materials will be furnished to banks, brokerage houses, fiduciaries and custodians holding shares of Common Stock in their names that are beneficially owned by others to forward to those beneficial owners. We may reimburse persons representing beneficial owners for their costs of forwarding the solicitation materials to the beneficial owners. Original solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by telephone, facsimile, electronic mail or personal solicitation by our directors, officers or employees. No additional compensation will be paid to directors, officers or employees for such services.

Shareholder Proposals and Nominations

Under Rule 14a‑8 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, in order for business to be properly brought by a shareholder before an annual meeting, our Chief Financial Officer must receive, at our corporate office, written notice of the matter not less than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date our proxy statement was released to shareholders in connection with the preceding year’s annual meeting. Thus, proposals of shareholders intended to be presented pursuant to Rule 14a‑8 under the Exchange Act must be received at our principal corporate office at 200 Village Road, Lahaina, Hawaii 96761 on or before November 18, 2021 in order to be considered for inclusion in our proxy statement and proxy card for the 2022 Annual Meeting.

4

Our Bylaws contain additional requirements that must be satisfied for any proposal of shareholders made other than under Rule 14a‑8. Compliance with these requirements will entitle the proposing shareholder only to present such proposals or nominations before the meeting, not to have the proposals or nominations included in our proxy statement or proxy card. Such proposals or nominations may not be brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder unless the shareholder has given timely written notice in proper form of such proposal or nomination to our Chairman & Chief Executive Officer. Such proposals or nominations may be made only by persons who are shareholders of record on the date on which such notice is given and on the record date for determination of shareholders entitled to vote at that meeting. Shareholder notices of any proposals or nominations intended to be considered at the 2022 annual meeting of shareholders, or the 2022 Annual Meeting, will be timely under our Bylaws only if received at our principal corporate office no earlier than December 29, 2021 and no later than January 28, 2022. However, if the 2022 Annual Meeting is called for a date that is not within thirty days before or after April 28, 2022, any such notice will be timely only if it is received no later than the close of business on the tenth day following the date of the first mailing of the notice of our 2022 Annual Meeting or the date of the public disclosure of the date of our 2022 Annual Meeting, whichever is earlier.

To be in proper written form, a shareholder’s notice concerning a proposal to be presented at an annual meeting must set forth as to each matter the shareholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting:

• a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting;

• the name and record address of such shareholder;

• the number of shares of our stock owned by such shareholder beneficially and of record;

• a description of all arrangements or understandings between such shareholder and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such shareholder and any material interest of such shareholder in such business; and

• a representation that such shareholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to bring such business before the meeting.

To be in proper written form, a notice concerning a nomination for election to our Board must set forth as to each person whom the shareholder proposes to nominate for election as a director:

• the name, age, business address and residence address of the person;

• the principal occupation or employment of the person;

• the number of shares of our stock owned by the person beneficially and of record; and

• any other information relating to the person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder;

and as to the shareholder giving the notice:

• the name and record address of such shareholder;

• the number of shares of our stock owned by such shareholder beneficially and of record;

• a description of all arrangements or understandings between such shareholder and each proposed nominee and any other person or persons (including their names) pursuant to which the nomination(s) are to be made by such shareholder;

• a representation that such shareholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the persons named in its notice; and

• any other information relating to such shareholder that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.

A notice concerning a nomination for election to our Board must be accompanied by a written consent of each proposed nominee being named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected.

In addition, no person will be eligible for election as a director if such election would cause us to have insufficient “independent directors” within the meaning of the listing standards of the NYSE.

5

Any notice concerning proposals or nominations sought to be considered at an annual meeting should be addressed to our Chairman & Chief Executive Officer at our principal corporate office, located at 200 Village Road, Lahaina, Hawaii 96761. The full text of the Bylaws provisions referred to above, which also set forth requirements and limitations as to shareholder proposals or nominations to be considered at any special meeting, may be obtained by contacting our Chief Financial Officer at the foregoing address, by telephone at 808‑665‑5458, or e‑mail at mhotta@kapalua.com.

Multiple Shareholders Sharing the Same Address

Owners of Common Stock in street name may receive a notice from their Nominee stating that only one proxy statement will be delivered to multiple security holders sharing an address. This practice, known as “householding,” is designed to reduce printing and postage costs. However, if any shareholder residing at such an address wishes to receive a separate proxy statement, or if a household is currently receiving multiple copies of the same items and any shareholder would like in the future to receive only a single copy at his or her address, he or she may contact our Chief Financial Officer at 200 Village Road, Lahaina, Hawaii 96761 or by telephone at 808‑665‑5458, or e‑mail at mhotta@kapalua.com.

MATTERS TO BE VOTED UPON

PROPOSAL 1: Election of Directors

General Information—Election of Directors

Our Board currently consists of five members who were elected for a one‑year term or until their successors are elected or appointed and qualified. Based upon the recommendation of our Nominating and Governance Committee, our Board has nominated the following individuals for election to our Board for the term that ends at the 2022 Annual Meeting: Messrs. Stephen M. Case, Warren H. Haruki, David A. Heenan, Anthony P. Takitani and Arthur C. Tokin. All nominees currently serve on our Board.

In the event that any person nominated as a director becomes unavailable or declines to serve as a director at the time of the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders will vote the proxies in their discretion for any nominee who is designated by the current Board to fill the vacancy. We do not expect that any of the nominees will be unavailable to serve.

Set forth below is biographical information for each nominee for election at the Annual Meeting. There are no family relationships among any of our directors or executive officers.

OUR BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” EACH OF THE FIVE PERSONS NOMINATED BY OUR BOARD.

Stephen M. Case (62) Mr. Case has served as a director on our Board since December 2008. Mr. Case has also served as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Revolution LLC, an investment firm, since April 2005; as a Partner of Revolution Growth II, LP, a growth‑stage investment firm, since August 2011; as a Partner of Revolution Growth III, LP, a growth‑stage investment firm, since June 2015; as a Partner of Revolution Ventures II, LP, an early‑stage technology investment firm, since July 2013; as a Partner of Revolution Ventures III, LP, an early-stage technology investment firm, since November 2018; as a Partner of Rise of the Rest Seed Fund, LP, a Revolution early-stage investment firm, since November 2017; as a Partner of Rise of the Rest Seed Fund II, LP, a Revolution early stage investment firm, since March 2019; as a Partner of Rise of the Rest Real Estate Management Company since December 2019; as a member of the Board of Directors of Sweetgreen, Inc., a food company, since December 2013; and as Chairman of Exclusive Resorts LLC, a membership‑based luxury real estate company, since November 2004.

6

	Mr. Case is an experienced business leader, whose experience leading other public companies further augments his range of knowledge, providing experience on which he can draw while serving as a member of our Board. Mr. Case is the author of the bestselling book, “The Third Wave: An Entrepreneur’s Vision of the Future.” In addition, Mr. Case also brings the perspective of our largest shareholder to our Board.
Warren H. Haruki (68)	Mr. Haruki has served as our Chief Executive Officer since May 2009 and Chairman of our Board since January 2009. He has been a director on our Board since 2006. Mr. Haruki has served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Grove Farm Company, Inc., a land development company located on Kauai, Hawaii, since 2005. He was President of GTE Hawaiian Tel and Verizon Hawaii, communications providers, from 1991 to 2003. Mr. Haruki serves on the boards of several privately held companies and not for profit organizations.
	Mr. Haruki’s experience in leadership roles, some of which were in public companies, gives him a deep understanding of the role and strategic priorities of the Board. In addition, his experience with operational and financial matters in similar industries as ours positions him well to serve as our Chairman & Chief Executive Officer.
David A. Heenan (81)	Mr. Heenan was appointed in January 2018 to serve on our Board to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of a former director. Mr. Heenan previously served as a member of our Board from 1999 until our annual meeting in 2015. Mr. Heenan had served as a Trustee of The Estate of James Campbell, a private trust in Honolulu, Hawaii, from 1995 to 2018. He was Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of Theo. H. Davies & Co., Ltd., the North American holding company for the Hong Kong-based Jardine Matheson, from 1982 to 1995, and served as a director of Bank of Hawaii Corporation from 1993 until 2015. Mr. Heenan is a visiting business professor at the College of William and Mary. He was the Chairman of our Board from May 2003 to March 2004 and has also served the Board as its lead independent director.
	Mr. Heenan’s former experience leading a public company, as well as his public company board experience, provides a great depth of experience on which he can draw while serving on our Board.
Anthony P. Takitani (66)	Mr. Takitani has served as a director on our Board since April 2015. Mr. Takitani is an attorney and partner of the law firm Takitani Agaran Jorgensen and Wildman, a firm specializing in real estate, commercial and personal injury law in Maui. Mr. Takitani also served two terms as a legislator in the State of Hawaii House of Representatives. Born and raised in Maui, Mr. Takitani is an alumnus of Baldwin High School in Maui, the University of Hawaii at Manoa, and received a law degree from Southwestern University School of Law in Los Angeles. Mr. Takitani is very involved in the Maui community, having served on numerous non-profit boards for organizations such as the Maui Arts & Cultural Center as well as the Board of Directors for Maui Health Systems.
	Mr. Takitani’s extensive legal background, experience as a legislator, and involvement in the Maui community make him a valuable asset on our Board.
Arthur C. Tokin (76)	Mr. Tokin has served as a director on our Board since May 2010. Mr. Tokin has served as a business consultant with Lum Yip Kee Ltd., a real-estate related business in Honolulu, Hawaii, since 2005. In addition, he served as a business consultant with Title Guaranty of Hawaii, Inc. from 2011 to 2017. From 1992 through 2004, he was the managing Partner of the Honolulu, Hawaii office of PricewaterhouseCoopers, a global public accounting firm. Mr. Tokin also serves on the boards of several privately held companies and not-for-profit organizations.

7

Mr. Tokin’s experience in a leadership and governance role with PricewaterhouseCoopers, providing audit and advisory services to a number of significant companies, makes him particularly well suited to serve on our Board. His experience as a proven business leader provides him with the skills necessary to be our lead independent director.

Director Independence

Both the listing standards of the NYSE and our Bylaws require that a majority of our Board be independent within the meaning of the listing standards of the NYSE. Our Nominating and Governance Committee annually evaluates the independence of each director and nominee for director, based on the rules prescribed by the listing standards of the NYSE and an evaluation of the transactions, if any, between us and the other entities with whom the director has an affiliation. After completing its annual evaluation, our Nominating and Governance Committee concluded that (i) Warren H. Haruki, who is Chairman of our Board, is not independent because he serves as our Chief Executive Officer; and (ii) Stephen M. Case is not independent because of the materiality of his beneficial ownership in our outstanding shares. Our Board has affirmatively determined that Messrs. Heenan, Takitani and Tokin are independent pursuant to the NYSE standards for independence.

Board Meetings and Committees

Our Board has established three standing committees: our Audit Committee, our Compensation Committee, and our Nominating and Governance Committee. Our Board has approved a written charter for each of these committees, and each such charter as well as our Corporate Governance Guidelines are posted on our website at www.mauiland.com/investor.shtml.

During 2020, our Board held four meetings; our Audit Committee held four meetings; our Compensation Committee held two meetings; and our Nominating and Governance Committee held one meeting. Our Board and each committee conduct annual self‑evaluations of their effectiveness. In 2020, all directors attended 100% of the aggregate meetings of our Board and committees on which they serve. The non‑management directors met twice in 2020 with Mr. Tokin, the lead independent director, presiding at such meeting. Board members are encouraged, but not required, to attend our annual meetings.

Audit Committee

Members of our Audit Committee are currently Messrs. Tokin (Chairman), Heenan and Takitani. All of our Audit Committee members are independent, as defined by the listed company standards of the NYSE and by the rules of the SEC.

Our Audit Committee is responsible for, among other things, monitoring the integrity of our consolidated financial statements, our system of internal accounting controls and financial reporting processes, and the overall performance of our internal auditors. Our Audit Committee is also responsible for hiring, determining compensation for, and reviewing the independence and performance of, our independent registered public accounting firm.

Compensation Committee

Our Compensation Committee reviews and approves the compensation plans, salary recommendations and other matters relating to compensation of our named executive officers and directors. Compensation recommendations regarding the named executive officers (except for the Chief Executive Officer) and directors are generally provided to our Compensation Committee by our Chief Executive Officer and approved by the committee. Our Chief Executive Officer’s total compensation is recommended by our Compensation Committee and approved by our Board. Our Compensation Committee generally retains the services of a compensation consultant to evaluate the compensation of our named executive officers and directors.

Our Compensation Committee has the sole authority to retain and terminate outside counsel and other outside experts or consultants, at our expense, as deemed appropriate.

Nominating and Governance Committee

Members of our Nominating and Governance Committee are currently Messrs. Takitani (Chairman) Heenan and Tokin. All of our Nominating and Governance Committee members are independent, as defined by the listed company standards of the NYSE and by the rules of the SEC.

Our Nominating and Governance Committee identifies, evaluates, and recommends qualified candidates to our Board for nomination and election. Our Nominating and Governance Committee’s policy with respect to director candidates recommended by shareholders is that it will consider any such director candidates on the same basis as candidates identified by the committee. Names and resumes of prospective directors should be addressed to Nominating and Governance Committee of Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc., c/o Chief Financial Officer, 200 Village Road, Lahaina, Hawaii 96761. See “General Information Regarding the Annual Meeting—Shareholder Proposals and Nominations” above.

The criteria that will be applied in evaluating any candidate considered by our Nominating and Governance Committee, including those recommended by shareholders, includes whether or not the candidate:

• is familiar with the communities of Maui and Hawaii in general;

• possesses personal and professional integrity, sound judgment and forthrightness;

• has sufficient time and energy to devote to our affairs;

• is willing to challenge and stimulate management and is able to work as part of a team in an environment of trust;

• has an open‑minded approach to, and the resolve to independently analyze, matters presented for consideration;

• will add specific value by virtue of particular technical expertise, experience or skill relevant to our business; and

• understands business and financial affairs and the complexities of a business organization. While a career in business is not essential, a nominee should have a proven record of competence and accomplishment through leadership in industry, non‑profit organizations, the professions or government.

Our Nominating and Governance Committee has not adopted any formal diversity policy with respect to the nomination of qualified director candidates. However, our Nominating and Governance Committee may consider diversity, broadly defined to include a diversity of opinions, perspectives and backgrounds, such as gender, race and ethnicity differences, as well as other differentiating characteristics, in the context of the requirements of our Board at any specific point in time.

Our Nominating and Governance Committee identifies nominees for positions on our Board by requesting names of potential candidates from the other Board members and from our executive officers. The full Board is responsible for final approval of new director candidates, as well as the nomination of existing directors for reelection. With respect to existing directors, prior to making its recommendation to the full Board, our Nominating and Governance Committee, in consultation with the Chairman of our Board, reviews each director’s continuation on our Board as a regular part of the nominating process.

Our Nominating and Governance Committee is authorized by its charter to retain a third-party search firm to identify potential nominees to our Board. Our Nominating and Governance Committee reviews resumes of interested candidates and selects those that pass the initial screening for personal interviews, screening, and for final recommendation to our Board.

Code of Ethics

We adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, or Code of Ethics, in March 2008 that applies to all of our directors and employees, including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer. The Code of Ethics is available on our website at www.mauiland.com/investor.shtml. We will disclose any amendment to, or waiver from, any provision of the Code of Ethics by posting such information on our website.

Board Leadership Structure and Risk Oversight

Our Board does not have a policy, one way or the other, on whether the same person should serve as both our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of our Board or whether the Chairman should be a non‑employee director. Our Board believes that it should have the flexibility to make this determination at any given point in time in the way that it believes best to provide appropriate leadership for the Company at that time. Over the past several years, we have had different leadership structures reflecting our circumstances at the time. Our Board believes that the current leadership structure, with Mr. Haruki serving as Chairman of our Board and Chief Executive Officer, is appropriate given Mr. Haruki’s experience in serving in both of these roles, his strong leadership capability and the efficiency of having the roles combined. Pursuant to past practice, whenever the Chairman is an employee of the Company, our Board selects a “lead independent director.” Mr. Tokin currently serves as the lead independent director and as such, presides over meetings of the non‑management directors. We believe that this leadership structure provides the appropriate level of independent oversight necessary to ensure that our Board meets its fiduciary obligations to our shareholders, that the interests of management and our shareholders are properly aligned, and that we establish and follow sound business practices and strategies that are in the best interests of our shareholders.

Our Audit Committee oversees our risk management functions, the purpose of which is to identify potential events and risks that may affect our business and objectives including, without limitation, financial, cybersecurity and compliance risks. To fulfill this duty, the committee works with our external auditors and management to highlight significant enterprise‑wide risks, to establish operational plans to control and mitigate risks and to monitor and review the risk management function. Our Audit Committee discusses its findings with our Board and consults with our Board on all major decisions.

Narrative to Director Compensation Table

In 2020, all non‑employee directors received an annual cash retainer fee of $32,000 paid quarterly. Each director is expected to perform committee service and to attend meetings; therefore, we do not pay additional compensation for committee service or for attending meetings. Non‑employee directors were also granted restricted Common Stock, or restricted shares, which vest quarterly over the term of the director’s service. The restricted shares were granted under the Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. 2017 Equity and Incentive Award Plan, or the 2017 Plan, to the director at the time he or she is elected, re‑elected or appointed to our Board. The directors have voting and regular dividend rights with respect to the unvested restricted shares but have no right to dispose of them until such time as they are vested. All unvested restricted shares are forfeited upon the director’s termination of his position as a member of the Board for any reason.

In 2020, Messrs. Case, Heenan, Takitani and Tokin were each granted 6,216 restricted shares – 1,554 shares vesting quarterly – upon their election to our Board for the one‑year term ending with our annual meeting on April 21, 2021 (fair value on April 22, 2020 of $10.14 per share).

PROPOSAL 2: Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation

We are asking our shareholders to cast an advisory vote on the compensation paid to our named executive officers, as disclosed in this Proxy Statement pursuant to SEC compensation disclosure rules. This proposal, commonly known as a “Say-on-Pay” proposal, gives you, as a shareholder, the opportunity to vote on our executive compensation. At our Annual Meeting of Shareholders held in 2019, a majority of our shareholders voted in favor of holding an advisory vote to approve executive compensation every year. Our Board considered these voting results and decided to adopt a policy providing for an annual advisory shareholder vote to approve our executive compensation. We are therefore holding this year’s advisory vote in accordance with that policy and pursuant to U.S. securities laws and regulations.

As an advisory vote, this proposal is not binding upon the Board or our Compensation Committee. However, our Compensation Committee, which is responsible for designing and administering our executive compensation program, values the opinions expressed by shareholders in their vote on this proposal and will consider the outcome of the vote when making future compensation decisions for our named executive officers.

We urge our shareholders to carefully review the “Summary Compensation Table” and related narrative disclosure below, which describes the compensation paid to our named executive officers. Our Board and Compensation Committee believe that the compensation paid to our named executive officers, as described in this Proxy Statement, is effective in achieving our compensation objectives.

Therefore, we ask our shareholders to approve the following advisory resolution at the Annual Meeting:

“RESOLVED, that the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers, as disclosed pursuant to the compensation disclosure rules of the SEC, including the compensation table and narrative discussion, is hereby APPROVED.”

OUR BOARD UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS AN ADVISORY VOTE “FOR” APPROVING THE COMPENSATION PAID TO OUR NAMED EXECUTIVE OFFICERS.

Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons

Our policy with regard to related party transactions is that all material transactions are to be reviewed by our Audit Committee for any possible conflicts of interest. A “related party transaction” that must be disclosed in this Proxy Statement includes any transaction or series of transactions exceeding $120,000 in which we are a participant and any related person has a material interest. Related persons would include our directors, executive officers (and immediate family members of our directors and executive officers), and persons controlling over five percent of our outstanding Common Stock. Our Audit Committee will generally evaluate the transaction in terms of: (i) the benefits to us; (ii) the terms of the transaction; and (iii) the terms available to unrelated third parties or to employees generally. Our Audit Committee will generally seek consensus of the transaction from the independent directors. In the event a transaction relates to a member of our Audit Committee, that member will not participate in the committee’s deliberations. There were no transactions required to be reported in this Proxy Statement since the beginning of fiscal 2020.

DELINQUENT SECTION 16(a) REPORTS

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers, directors, and beneficial owners of more than 10% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock, to file reports regarding their initial stock ownership and subsequent changes to their ownership with the SEC and to furnish us with copies of such reports. To our knowledge, based solely upon a review of such reports and amendments thereto received by us during or with respect to the most recent fiscal year and upon written representations regarding all reportable transactions, we believe that all Section 16(a) reports were filed on a timely basis.
