Executive Compensation Linked to Performance


2022 results reflected the strong performance of A&B's high-quality portfolio of grocery-anchored retail, industrial and ground lease assets. The Commercial Real Estate ("CRE") portfolio grew its Net Operating Income ("NOI") by over 6% year over year. Leasing activity remained robust, finishing the year with total leased occupancy of 95%, matching the high-water mark for occupancy over the past decade. In addition, we significantly advanced simplification efforts, selling approximately 20,200 acres of non-core landholdings and actively marketing Grace Pacific LLC ("Grace Pacific"), our materials and construction subsidiary. We completed the Aikahi Park Shopping Center and Hawaiian Island Creations renovation projects in Kailua and commenced the Manoa Marketplace revitalization. We also completed a 1.3 megawatt PV system at Pearl Highlands Center, one of the largest solar rooftop installations in the state. We strengthened our balance sheet and repurchased over 275,000 shares of A&B common stock.
In addition to strong performance in 2022, the Company continued to focus on corporate responsibility, key ESG matters and good governance in executive pay programs, all of which are described in further detail in this Proxy Statement.

The Company firmly believes in pay for performance and aligning pay with shareholder interests and the Company’s business objectives. Accordingly, the majority of executive compensation is tied to performance. In 2017,As displayed in the charts below, in 2022, 77% of the target compensation for our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Christopher Benjamin, received 76% of his target compensationwas in the form of performance-based pay, consisting of annual incentives (cash) and long-term incentives (equity), with the remaining 24%23% set as salary.fixed pay. For our other Named Executive Officers 62%(“NEO”), 64% of their target compensation was performance-based with the remaining 38%36% set as salary*fixed pay. The pay mix for our NEOs reflect the core of our ongoing pay program (i.e., base salary, annual cash incentive and long-term incentives) and does not include the one-time simplification incentive created in 2021. For additional information about the simplification program please refer to page 28.
All elements of executive compensation are generally targeted at the 50th percentile of market pay data. In 2017,2022, our executive compensation program received strong support from shareholders with overapproximately 97% of say on paySay-on-Pay votes cast in approvalfavor of the program.

LOGOLOGO

*As James Mead was hired as Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) on July 10, 2017 these percentages were calculated using Mr. Mead’s salary on an annualized basis and a guaranteed cash incentive equal to a pro rata portion of his annual incentive target for the first year per his employment agreement (as described on page 29).

alex-20230314_g5.jpg
* Does not include one-time simplification incentive. Brett Brown served as Chief Financial Officer ("CFO") through November 30, 2022; Clayton Chun was appointed CFO effective December 1, 2022. Mr. Brown’s percentage was calculated using his annualized cash compensation and 2022 equity award, and Mr. Chun's percentage was calculated using his annualized cash compensation in his new role as CFO and 2022 equity award he received as Chief Accounting Officer.

We encourage you to read our Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”), which begins on page 1921 and describes our pay for performance philosophy and each element of compensation. Our Board of Directors recommends approval, on an advisory basis, of the compensation of our Named Executive Officers, as further described in the CD&A and “Proposal No. 2: Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation” beginning on page 45.

PROPOSAL NO. 1: ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
In line with best practices, by declassifying its board, adoptingA&B’s directors stand for election annually, and elections are conducted using a majority voting standard in uncontested elections and eliminating the super-majorityelections. We ask for your voting requirement to amend its articles of incorporation. These actions are in response to investor feedback we received duringsupport for our ongoing shareholder engagement initiatives and are in line with best practices. Ten Directors will be elected at the Annual Meetingseven directors named below, to serve until the next Annual Meeting of Shareholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified.

Director Nominees and QualificationsQualification of Directors.The nominees of the Board of Directors are the tenseven persons named below. All nominees are current members of the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors believes that all nominees will be able to serve. However, if any nominee should decline or become unable to serve for any reason, shares represented by the accompanying proxy will be voted for the replacement person nominated by the Board of Directors, or the Board may choose to reduce the number of directors serving on the Board. Each director nominee identified below was unanimously nominated by the Board at the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

Under A&B’s retirement policy for directors, Charles G. King, who has served as a director of A&B or A&B Predecessor since 1989, is retiring from the Board at the Annual Meeting. In addition to his service as a director, Mr. King served as the Lead Independent Director of A&B since April 2015, served on the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee since 2011, served on the Audit Committee from 1989 to 1993, and served on the Compensation Committee from 1993 through 2018 and as its Chair since 2004. The Board and management thank Mr. King for his years of service and valued advice.

Below are the names, ages (as of March 31, 2018)2023), and principal occupations of each person nominated by the A&B Board, their business experience during at least the last five years, the year each first was elected or appointed a director and qualifications of each director.

Our Nominating Committee is focused on creating a Board that consists of members that have a diversity of professional experience and a combined skill set to help oversee our business effectively. The Board weighs the alignment of Board capabilities with the needs of A&B as part of the Board’s self-assessment process. The Nominating Committee’s processes for selecting director nominees are described in greater detail in “Certain Information Concerning the Board“Board of Directors—Nominating Committee Processes”Directors Information” below. In 2017, as the Board determined to evaluate a REIT conversion, it also decided that additional REIT expertise would be valuable. With the assistance of an executive search firm, Mr. Lewis, a seasoned REIT executive, was appointed to the Board.

Our Board members have a diverse range of perspectives and are knowledgeable about our businesses. Each director contributes in establishing a board climate of trust and respect, where deliberations are open and constructive. A&B’s business strategy is Hawaii-focused and, accordingly, the Board believes it is valuable to shareholders that the great majority of our directors be Hawaii-based executives who can provide extensive local knowledge and insight.

Director Independence.The Board has reviewed each of its current directors and nominees and has determined that all such persons, with the exception of Mr. Benjamin, Mr. Kuriyama (who retired as an employee of A&B on December 31, 2016)Messrs. Leong, Lewis, Pasquale and Mr. Hulihee (who retired as an employee of A&B on December 31, 2015),Yeaman and Mses. Laing and Saito are independent under New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules.

for seven months from November 2018 through May 2019.

Board Leadership Structure.Structure.The Board recognizes that one of its key responsibilities is to evaluate and determine its optimal leadership structure so as to provide independent oversight of management. It understands that there is no single approach to providing Board leadership and that the right Board leadership structure may vary as circumstances warrant.

Mr. Kuriyama transitioned from executive Chairman of the Board (“Chairman”) tonon-executive Chairman, effective January 1, 2017.

The Board currently has a separatenon-executive Chairman, a CEO and a Lead Independent Director (currently Charles G. King, to be succeeded by Douglas M. Pasquale upon Mr. King’s retirement from the board at the Annual Meeting.Director. At this time, the Board believes that a separate Chairman is beneficial in providing oversight and leadership in handling board responsibilities. This also allows our CEO to focus on Company strategy and business operations. The Lead Independent Director’s duties include consulting with the Chairman of the Board on agendas and meeting schedules, facilitating the process for the Board’s self-evaluation, presiding at Board meetings in the absence of the Chairman or over matters on which the Chairman may be conflicted, and consulting with the Chairman on key issues related to the Company.
Mr. Yeaman serves as A&B's non-executive Chairman of the Board, offering his extensive executive experience, knowledge of the Hawaii community, contributions on A&B’s Audit and Compensation Committees, board tenure, leadership abilities and integrity in that role. Mr. Pasquale serves in the role of Lead Independent Director, allows the Board to function independently from managementwhere he works closely with our Chairman and provide objective judgment regarding management’s performance.our CEO. The Board has determined that its leadership structure is appropriate for A&B at this time.

time and enables Messrs. Yeaman, Pasquale and Benjamin to bring complementary skills and areas of expertise, while also creating an independent and effective Board.

  Lead Independent Director Duties Include

ConsultingOther Public Company Directorships.

The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee conducts an annual review of director commitment levels in connection with the Chairmanits recommendation of directors for election to the Board at the annual meeting of stockholders, with consideration given to public company leadership roles and outside commitments.

The Board’s Role in Strategy and Risk Oversight.The Board oversees the strategic direction of the Company. It has provided leadership on critical strategic issues, including focusing and growing the commercial real estate portfolio in Hawaii, the simplification of the Company’s business model, and the Company’s response to COVID-19. It receives regular strategic presentations from management and reviews and evaluates the Company’s strategic and operating plans, as appropriate.

The Board also has oversight of the risk management process, which it administers in part through the Audit Committee. One of the Audit Committee’s responsibilities involves discussing policies regarding risk assessment and risk management. Risk oversight plays a role in all major Board decisions and the evaluation of risk is a key part of the decision-making process. For example, the identification of risks and the development of sensitivity analyses are key requirements for capital requests that are presented to, and evaluated by, the Board.

This risk management process occurs throughout all levels of the organization, but is also facilitated through a formal process in which the Company identifies significant risks through regular discussions with all levels of management. Risk management is reflected in the Company’s compliance, auditing and risk management functions, and its risk- basedrisk-based approach to strategic and operating decision-making. Management reviews its risk management activities with the Audit Committee and the full Board of Directors on a regular basis. In addition, risk management perspectives from each of A&B’s business segments are included in the Company’s operating and strategic plans.

Cybersecurity and information security risks are among the risks discussed with the Audit Committee quarterly and reported to the full Board annually. Mandatory cybersecurity training is required annually for employees, and annual assessments of employee security awareness are performed. Cybersecurity reviews by a national security firm are conducted and insurance exists to cover information security risks.

The Board also provides oversight of ESG-related risks, which are described in the Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability and ESG section of this Proxy Statement.

The Board believes that its current leadership structure is conducive to the risk oversight process.

Pay Risk Assessment.Assessment.The Compensation Committee has a formal review process to consider and discuss thereviews compensation policies, plans and structure for all of the Company’s employees, including the Company’s executive group, to ascertain whether any of the compensation programs and practices create excessive risks or motivate risky behaviors that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. Management has worked with the Compensation Committee to review all Companythe NEOs’ incentive plans and related policies and practices, and the overall structure and positioning of total pay, pay mix, the risk management process and related internal controls.

    CERTAIN INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS

Based on its formal review process, the Compensation Committee concluded that there continues to be no material adverse effects due to pay risk. Management and the Compensation Committee concluded that A&B’s employeeNEO compensation programs represent an appropriate balance of fixed and variable pay, cash and equity, short-term and long-term compensation, financial andnon-financial performance, and an appropriate level of enterprise-wide risk oversight.

The Company periodically reviews the compensation policies, plans and structure for the Company’s employees and, based on such review, our compensation programs do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company.

2022.

Nominating Committee Processes.The Nominating Committee is responsible for recommending to the Board individuals qualified to serve as directors of the Company. The Nominating Committee believes that the minimum qualifications for serving as a director are high ethical standards, a commitment to shareholders, a genuine interest in A&B and a willingness and ability to devote adequate time to a director’s duties. The Nominating Committee also may consider other factors it deems to be in the best interests of A&B and its shareholders, such as business experience, financial expertise and knowledge and involvement in Hawaii communities and businesses. While
Board Diversity:  The Board believes that the Company benefits from having directors with a diversity of viewpoints, backgrounds and experiences. The Nominating Committee does not have a written diversity policy, it considers diversity ofwith respect to gender, ethnicity, knowledge, skills, professional experience, education and expertise, and representation in industries and geographies relevant to the Company as important factors in its evaluation of candidates.

Currently, of our seven directors, two are women and three are ethnically diverse. Board leadership also is diverse -- the Chairman of the Board, who also chairs the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, is part Native Hawaiian and the Chair of the Compensation Committee is female. Hawaii, where we have been headquartered for over 150 years, is a diverse community. The Board considers the diversity of our workforce, community, tenants and stakeholders as it evaluates its composition.

The Nominating Committee identifies potential nominees through various methods, including engaging, when appropriate, firms that specialize in identifying director candidates and by asking current directors to notify the Nominating Committee of qualified persons who might be available to serve on the Board.

The Nominating Committee will consider director candidates recommended by shareholders. In considering such candidates, the Nominating Committee will take into consideration the needs of the Board and the qualifications of the candidate. To have a

The shareholder recommendation and information described above must be sent to the Corporate Secretary at 822 Bishop Street, Honolulu, Hawaii, 96813 and must be received not less than 120 days before the anniversary of the date on which A&B’s Proxy Statement was released to shareholders in connection with the previous year’s annual meeting.

Once a potential candidate has been identified by the Nominating Committee, the Nominating Committee reviews information regarding the person to determine whether the person should be considered further. If appropriate, the Nominating Committee may request information from the candidate, review the person’s accomplishments, qualifications and references, and conduct interviews with the candidate. The Nominating Committee’s evaluation process does not vary based on whether or not a candidate is recommended by a shareholder.

Corporate Responsibility, Sustainability and ESG. Prioritizing environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) issues aligns with A&B’s mission to benefit Hawaii and all our stakeholders. We understand our responsibility to the environment and the communities in which we operate and are dedicated to continuous improvement.

Our leadership team and the Board of Directors are committed to ESG issues. Consideration of ESG is a meaningful component of our strategic plans, is integrated into our operations and informs how we pursue opportunities and manage risks. The Board of Directors provides oversight and receives regular reports on ESG topics, including diversity and climate risk, at both its Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee meetings and Board meetings. We regularly seek input from our investors on ESG and other topics. In 2022, we conducted ESG-specific outreach: we met with shareholders who cumulatively owned 71 percentor offered to meet with governance teams from investors representing approximately 63% of our stock, including some of our largest investors. This outreach is part of our commitment to communicate with our shareholders.

Climate Change: The Board of Directors also provides oversight on climate risk. We continue to align our disclosures with the Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures (“TCFD”) and the Sustainability Accounting Standards Board (“SASB”). We undertook a climate risk analysis of properties in our portfolio to better understand both current and future risks.

We issued our third annual corporate responsibility report in 2022, which expanded on our TCFD disclosures, discussion of climate change governance, strategy and risk management, and metrics and targets. We disclosed data on greenhouse gas emissions (scopes 1, 2 and 3), energy usage, renewable energy production and water usage for our commercial real estate portfolio. Our corporate responsibility report is located at www.alexanderbaldwin.com/commitment/sustainability/.
In addition to tracking important environmental metrics, we also understand the importance of robust environmental targets to help reduce the harmful effects of climate change. Accordingly, we have established the following reduction targets:
GHG emissions: 35% reduction of GHG Scope 2 emissions by 2025 from 2017 baseline.
Energy usage: 15% reduction of whole building energy consumption by 2025 from 2017 baseline.
Water usage: 15% reduction of whole building water consumption by 2025 from 2017 baseline.

Clean energy is a key component in combating climate change. We have been renewable energy producers since 1906 when our first hydroelectric facility began operations. In 2022, we completed construction of a 1.3 megawatt rooftop photovoltaic system at Pearl Highlands Center that is expected to offset 100% of common area energy usage and provide additional power to select tenants. Kaka'ako Commerce Center has been identified as the next property in a broader rooftop solar initiative. We also produced approximately 12,500 megawatt hours ("MWH") in 2022 from hydroelectric sources on agricultural lands. Although those lands were subsequently sold for strategic organizational streamlining reasons, we are highly focused on implementing clean energy solutions on our CRE portfolio going forward.
Environmental and Social Councils: To continue advancing our ESG efforts, two key employee councils – an Environmental Council and a Social Council – made up of a diverse group of employees from all levels of our organization help shape our agenda for environmental and social stewardship, both within and outside of A&B.
Diversity: A&B values diversity and strives to create an inclusive workplace where individuals are able to bring their whole selves to work. Diversity is an important part of A&B’s human capital management practices and long-term strategy. Additional information, including workforce diversity statistics using EEO-1 data, was included for a third year in our corporate responsibility report.
Other ESG highlights are listed below.

Implemented a CRE benchmarking program that compiles energy and water data in ENERGY STAR Portfolio Manager. This enables us to better track and understand our energy and water consumption throughout our portfolio. We also collaborated with the City & County of Honolulu and other stakeholders to establish a county-wide energy and water building benchmarking program.

Continued an energy efficiency program for various properties in our portfolio, with energy reductions in 2022 of over 1,000,000 KWH. The program in its current state is expected to result in a reduction of more than 10,000 tons of carbon during the ten-year program.

Continued our focus on environmentally responsible development with the renovation of Aikahi Park Shopping Center, focusing on sustainable elements including the adaptive re-use of an existing structure, LED lighting retrofits, EV charging stations, sustainable materials, water conservation measures and an open, walkable concept.

Conducted energy audits on eight properties in our CRE portfolio, which provided valuable information on areas for potential energy savings. We also invited tenants to participate in free energy audits of their spaces in connection with these audits.

Strengthened our tenant sustainability management program, which shares sustainability stories, tips and resources, and provides tenants with a portal to discuss sustainability matters. As a result of our operations, corporate governance, executive compensationtenant sustainability outreach, several tenants implemented significant equipment upgrades to utilize energy or water efficient models.

Continued our focus on diversity, equity and environmental initiativesinclusion (“DEI”) and to solicit feedback on thesesustainability, supporting A&B Pride (a LGBTQ+ affinity group), a women’s leadership development group, and a variety“Green Team.”

Strengthened our engagement with our employees, increasing communications and connectivity as they worked remotely and conducting our sixth annual employee survey.

Continued to promote employee learning and development, with live and online training programs, professional development stipends and tuition reimbursement for the pursuit of other topics. Shareholder perspectives are shared with the Board. Shareholder feedback was taken into accounthigher education degrees. We also provided a health and wellness program in the decisionwhich approximately 70% of employees participated.

Gave $975,000 in cash and in-kind donations to eliminate the classified board structure and adopt a majority voting standard for director elections.

181 Hawaii nonprofit organizations in 2022.

The share-ownership guidelines are reviewed annually and, in each case, were deemed to be well aligned with market competitive practices withand remain unchanged in 2022. With regard to director compensation, certain compensation levels were considered to be below market competitive practices and were revised in 2022.

Certain Relationships and Transactions.A&B has adopted a written policy under which the Audit Committee mustpre-approve all related person transactions that are disclosable under Item 404(a) of SEC RegulationS-K. Prior to entering into a transaction with A&B, directors and executive officers (and their family members) must make full disclosure of all facts and circumstances to the Law Department. The Law Department then determines whether such transaction requires the approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee considers all of the relevant facts available, including (if applicable) but not limited to: the benefits to the Company; the impact on a director’s or executive’s independence, including with respect to an immediate family member of a director or executive or an entity in which a director or executive is a partner, shareholder or executive officer; the availability of other

sources for comparable products or services; the terms of the transaction; and the terms available to unrelated third parties or to employees generally. The Audit Committee will approve only those related person transactions that are in, or are not inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company and its shareholders. If a related person transaction involves a member of the Audit Committee, that member recuses himself or herself from the process of review and approval.

The Audit Committee has established written procedures to address situations when approvals need to be sought between meetings. Whenever possible, proposed related person transactions will be included as an agenda item at the next scheduled Audit Committee meeting for review and approval. However, if it appears that a proposed related person transaction will occur prior to the next scheduled Audit Committee meeting, approval will be sought from Audit

Executive Summary
2022 results reflected the strong performance of A&B's high-quality portfolio of grocery-anchored retail, industrial and ground lease assets. The Commercial Real Estate Officer

Paul K. Ito, former Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer("CRE") portfolio grew its Net Operating Income ("NOI") by over 6% year over year. Same-store NOI increased 6.0% and TreasurerCore FFO per diluted share increased 17.7% over the prior year. Leasing activity remained robust, finishing the year with total leased occupancy of 95%, matching the high-water mark for occupancy over the past decade. We completed the Aikahi Park Shopping Center and Hawaiian Island Creations renovation projects in Kailua and commenced the Manoa Marketplace revitalization. We also completed a 1.3 megawatt PV system at Pearl Highlands Center, one of the largest solar rooftop installations in the state.

Executive Summary


In 2017,addition, we significantly advanced simplification efforts, selling approximately 20,200 acres of non-core landholdings and actively marketing Grace Pacific, our materials and construction subsidiary. In addition to positioning itself for sale, Grace Pacific saw steady improvement in its construction backlog and overall performance.

We strengthened our balance sheet, positioning the Company to invest in more CRE assets and weather a potential recession, and at the same time repurchased over 275,000 shares of stock. We successfully implemented a new enterprise resource program.
In addition to strong performance in 2022, the Company continued to focus on corporate responsibility, key ESG matters and good governance in executive pay programs. We continued improvements in our human resources practices and benefits and completed the pension termination project.
In 2022, our executive compensation program received strong support from shareholders, with overapproximately 97% of theSay-on-Pay votes cast in favor of the program. We believe this is because our pay program links pay with performance, aligns pay with shareholder interests and follows good governance practices. The vote on executive compensation is just one source of insight regarding shareholder views on our compensation practices. A&B also has an extensive shareholder outreach program that incorporates discussion of various governance topics, including compensation. In 20172022, we met or offered to meet on environmental, social and governance-focused matters, executive compensation and company operations with shareholders owning a significant percentageapproximately 74% of our stock. The feedback we received regarding our compensation practices was very positive. The Compensation Committee welcomes shareholder perspectives on our executive pay program and is informed regardingutilizes our annual outreach process to collect feedback gathered in discussions withdirectly from our shareholders.

Approach to Compensation Governance.Governance.The Compensation Committee consistently evaluates the Company’s executive compensation practices and modifies or adopts programs or practices to provide an appropriate balance of risk and reward. A&B firmly believes in pay for performance and alignment with shareholder interests. Thus, a majority of NEO compensation is tied to performance to ensure alignment with shareholders. 76%77% of CEO and 63%64% of other NEO target total direct compensation (“TDC”) (excluding the one-time simplification incentive) is performance-based pay aligned with shareholder interests. A&B adheres to good governance practices, as listed below, to ensure that it adopts the best practices to the extent that they are best aligned to the business goals and strategy of the Company as well as shareholder interests.

Performance Accomplishments in 2017. In2017, the Company achieved a major strategic milestone as it completed all necessary steps to allow the Company to elect REIT status for the 2017 tax year. The REIT structure is essential to the Company’s Hawaii growth strategy and its ability to create value for shareholders, with benefits that include enhancing the Company’s ability to compete for the acquisition of Hawaii assets (including the ability to issue operating partnership units to acquire assets), lowering the cost of capital (via improved liquidity of the Company’s stock and reduced net asset value discount), increasing the return of capital to shareholders (via increased regular dividends), providing access to a broader investor base, and allowing continued ownership ofnon-REIT eligible businesses. Additionally, during the year, the Company continued to make significant progress toward the Company’s strategic objectives to simplify its business model, focus on growing the cash flow and portfolio value of its commercial real estate assets, accelerate the monetization of the development pipeline, and adhere to disciplined and prudent financial management.

Commercial Real Estate Segment

In 2017, A&B continued to concentrate on its Hawaii-focused commercial real estate strategy to increase its recurring earnings and cash flows. Notable highlights for 2017 are as follows:

Cash net operating income (“Cash NOI”)(1) of $84.8 million from the portfolio increased 2.2% in 2017 compared to 2016.

Same-store Cash NOI(1) was $75.6 million in 2017, up 4.8% compared to 2016.

Occupancy was 93.6%, or up 1.4% in 2017, compared to 2016.

Signed 211 leases, consisting of 85 new leases and 126 renewals, covering approximately 909,000 square-feet of gross leasable area in 2017 at an average increase of 13.9% in annualized base rent per square foot.

Completed landlord construction of the Pearl Highlands food court renovation in 2017 at a 10.0%–10.3% estimated stabilized yield on cost of $6.0 million. The space is now 83% leased.

Substantially completed the redevelopment of the Lau Hala Shops (former Kailua Macy’s site), with a planned completion date in 2018. Leases and letters of intent have been signed for 88% of the space. The estimated stabilized yield on cost of $21.0 million is 10.5%–12.8%.

Made significant progress onpre-construction development efforts at Ho’okele Shopping Center on Maui in 2017. Construction is scheduled to begin in the first quarter of 2018 with a planned completion date in late 2019. Leases and letters of intent have been signed for 88% of the space at Ho’okele. The estimated stabilized yield on cost of $41.9 million is 7.4%–8.6%.

Land Operations Segment

Upon cessation of the Company’s sugar operations, the Company realigned its operations pursuant to which its diversified agricultural activities were combined with its development for sale activities for financial reporting purposes. The Land Operations segment is focused on managing activities conducted on the Company’s landholdings (historical and acquired), including diversified agriculture, renewable energy and development for sale. Significant accomplishments in 2017 included:

Substantially completed construction at the Company’s70-unit joint venture project, Keala o Wailea, with 66 units under binding sales contracts.

Closed on 15 unit sales at the Company’s Kukui’ula joint venture at an average price of approximately $2.5 million.

Made significant progress in the transition to diversified agriculture, with numerous trials underway, including cattle and various energy crops.

Materials & Construction

Grace Pacific continued to generate solid cash flows in 2017, although its results were significantly impacted by competitive pressures that impacted margins, as well as fewer bids offered in 2017 as compared to 2016. Lower paving performance was partially offset by strong roadway and prestress performance, which benefited from a higher margin mix of business and higher volume, respectively.

Generated $22.0 million in operating profit and $32.0 million in Adjusted EBITDA(3) at Materials & Construction in 2017.

Ended 2017 with a $202.1 million backlog compared to $242.9 million at the end of 2016.

Other

Completed all necessary steps to elect REIT status for the 2017 taxable year.

Increased the Company’s revolving credit facility by $100 million to $450 million.

Locked in $100 million of long-term unsecured debt at an attractive weighted average rate of 4.135% with a weighted average term of 10.3 years.

Made a $48 million pension contribution to substantially fund its qualified pension obligations, at a net cash outlay of approximately $22.5 million.

Compensation Overview

The Company’s executive compensation programs are administered by its Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee has retained WTW, an independent compensation consultant, to provide advice and analysis on the design, structure and level of executive compensation for A&B.

Pay Mix.The Company’s combination of pay elements is designed to place greater emphasis on performance-based compensation, while at the same time focusing on long-term talent retention and ensuring an appropriate balance between pay and risk. The Committee believes this is consistent with one of its key compensation objectives, which is to align management and shareholder interests. For 2017,2022, the TDC mix was generally within the same range as competitive practices based on survey data for each element of pay, as shown by the following table.

Pay Elements

The Company provides the following pay elements to its executive officers in varying combinations to accomplish its compensation objectives.

Salary:

Salary:Salary is intended to provide a competitive fixed rate of pay based upon an executive’s responsibilities. The Company believes that salary is less impactful than performance-based compensation in achieving the overall objectives of the Company’s executive compensation program. Accordingly, atsalary comprises between 23% to 49% of a NEO’s target less than half (between 24% to 42%) of an NEO’s total direct compensation is paid as salary.

(not including one-time simplification incentive).

Generally, the Board of Directors determines the CEO’s annual salary change on the basis of the factors listed previously in theAssessment of Total Compensationsection.

Annual Cash Incentives:For 2017,2022, annual incentives for NEOs were provided through the Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. Performance Improvement Incentive Plan (“PIIP”) and Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. Annual Incentive Plan (“AIP”) to motivate executives and reward them if they achieve specificpre-established corporate and business unit goals andexecutives for creating value for the Company. The financially oriented goals were established in February 2017. After receiving input from senior management, the CEO provided a recommended rating for “Value Creation” (as described below) for the 2017 performance period for all other participants in the Company’s incentive plans other than the CEO. The recommendation was reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee. For the CEO, the Compensation Committee conducted an overall evaluation of the Company’s and CEO’s 2017 performance and awarded an incentive payout of 106.8% of target. While the Committee considers the funding level resulting from overall company results, the Committee may exercise its discretion to award at higher or lower levels for the CEO depending on how individual performance and contributions are assessed.

For 2017, the incentive pool funding of the PIIP awards for the Company’s NEO’s (other than Mr. Parker) were derived from the following performance measures: Real Estate Development & Sales Gross Margin, Commercial Real Estate Same-Store NOI, and Total Commercial Real Estate NOI for its real estate operations; Adjusted EBITDA for its Materials & Construction segment; Consolidated AdjustedPre-Tax Income and a Value Creation rating for overall Company performance. These factors were selected because the Company believes they best reflect the results of business execution and profitability levels of the respective segments, and Value Creation reflects accomplishments of the

Company that create long-term value for shareholders that are not necessarily reflected in annual financial results. Mr. Parker’s PIIP award pool funding was derived from the following performance measures: Real Estate Development & Sales Gross Margin, Commercial Real Estate Same-Store NOI, Total Commercial Real Estate NOI, and a Value Creation rating for the real estate operations only.

The aggregate amount of the incentive pool can range between 0% to 200% of target based on the achievement of financialpre-established corporate performance metrics and individual goals, approved in February and ratings for Value Creation. The incentive pool is funded by aggregating the target incentives for each participant in the plan and multiplying that sum by the performance ratings for the applicable measures at below threshold, threshold, target or maximum levels, with proration between these levels.

Each individual’s actual incentive award may be modified from his or her funding level using an individual performance modifier that ranges from 0% to 150%, so long as the aggregate incentive pool established is not exceeded for PIIP executives. The CEO’s award is determined by the Compensation Committee and does not positively or negatively affect the aggregate incentive pool.

The incentive compensation for Mr. Chun and Ms. Ching was based on a weighted mix of (a) the level of achievement of the financialfor each Performance Grid Metric and operating goals set forth in the table above and (b) the scores awarded for Value Creation accomplishments achieved by each of the operating segments and the Company on a consolidated basis. The incentive compensation for Mr. Parker was based on Real Estate Development & Sales Gross Margin, Commercial Real Estate Same-store NOI, Total Commercial Real Estate NOI, and Value Creation rating for real estate operations only. Mr. Mead had a guaranteed annual bonus of $150,000 for 2017 per his employment agreement as described on page 29. Beginning with the 2018 calendar year, Mr. MeadIndividual Goal is eligible to participate in the Alexander & Baldwin, Inc.One-Year Performance Improvement Incentive Plan. As part of a retention agreement, Mr. Ito was not eligible to participate in the PIIP for 2017. As described earlier, Mr. Benjamin’s award is determined by the Compensation Committee based on its assessment of his individual performance and contributions, taking into account overall Company results.

The levels of achievement for financial and operating goals and value creation are rated on a scale from 0 to 3, as follows: 0 for below threshold performance, 1.0 for threshold performance, 2.0 for target performance and to 3.0 for maximum performance. The factors included in the Performance Grid Metrics were selected because the Company believes they best reflect the results of business execution and achievement of financial metrics of the respective operations and align with performance measures used more traditionally by our REIT peers. In addition, individual goals reward the individual contributions and accomplishments that are not necessarily reflected in annual financial results. Individual award levels are determined by multiplying each NEO’s incentive target by the weighting of each element (A&B grid, Grace grid and individual goals) and by performance ratings for the applicable measures at below threshold (0%), threshold (50%), target (100%) or maximum (150% for AIP and 200% for PIIP) levels, with proration between threshold, targetthese levels, as determined by the Compensation Committee. The CEO recommends individual goal ratings for the non-CEO NEOs while the CEO’s individual goal rating is determined separately by the Compensation Committee.

Creation accounts

Mr. Benjamin’s and Mr. Parker’s individual performance ratings for 2022 were determined to be at target while ratings for 2022 for Mr. Chun, Ms. Ching and Mr. Schreck were determined to be between target and maximum. Mr. Brown’s PIIP award was calculated at target and prorated through his last day of service, consistent with the Company’s Executive Severance Plan described on page 39.
PIIP Payout Determination for the remaining 37% asCEO. Each plan year, the result for Corporate takes into account performance against business unit goals. Mr. Parker’s awardCEO’s annual incentive is based on Properties goals, which are comprised of 80% real estate financial goals and 20% real estate Value Creation (score: 2.5).

The term “Value Creation” reflects performance and accomplishments of the Company that advance value creation for shareholders. The Company has two primary goals for Value Creation: increasing net asset value (“NAV”) and enhancing the market’s appreciation of NAV. Accordingly, value creation may or may not be included in earnings for the current year. Examples of ways to create value include identifying and pursuing redevelopment andbuild-for-hold projects, converting non- to minimal-earning assets into commercial properties with a stable or growing income stream and structural changes, such as evaluating and effecting a REIT conversion. With input from the CEO, the Compensation Committee reviews and approves the Value Creation ratings.

Individual Performance.In addition to corporate and business unit performance goals, each NEO’s 2017 award could be modified between 0% – 150% based on individual performance. The CEO’s performance is reviewed and approveddetermined by the Compensation Committee each year.separately from other plan participants. The award is calculated using a 60% weighting for the same A&B Performance Grid Metrics and 10% weighting for the same Grace Pacific Performance Grid Metrics applicable to all other NEOs plus a 30% weighting for Individual Goals. The Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors evaluate the CEO’s individual goal performance based on criteria established at the beginning of 2022, including leadership and execution of organizational initiatives and strategies. Based on that evaluation, the Compensation Committee rates the CEO’s individual performance on a scale from 0 to 3, as follows: 0 for below

*Although overall company performance aggregating business unit and corporate performance was slightly lower than target, the resulting incentive payouts were slightly above target due to the payout curve between target and maximum (200%) having a higher slope (earn out) than between threshold (50%) and target (100%), as was the case for Properties Commercial Real Estate Same-Store NOI, Total Commercial Real Estate NOI, Value Creation, and Corporate Value Creation.

**Mr. Mead was hired in July 2017, and under an employment agreement, Mr. Mead was eligible for a $150,000 guaranteed bonus.

***Under a retention agreement, Mr. Ito was not eligible for PIIP for the 2017 year.

** Mr. Brown served as Chief Financial Officer until he was terminated without cause, effective November 30, 2022. He received a pro-rata PIIP award under the terms of the A&B Executive Severance Plan described on page 39. His target award reflects a prorated target and his award as a percentage of base salary was based on his prorated salary.
One-Time Simplification Incentive
In its effort to further simplify A&B’s ongoing operations, the Company implemented, in 2021, a one-time simplification incentive to motivate and reward individuals for the execution of its simplification strategy including monetization of certain agricultural landholdings and renewable energy assets, the materials and construction business and the Company’s interest in the Kukui’ula joint venture. Simplification of the Company’s business model is critical strategically as the Company transitions from a more diversified organization and focuses on becoming a pure commercial real estate company.
The one-time simplification incentive included the Executive Simplification Incentive Program (ESIP) and Management Simplification Incentive Program (MSIP), both of which expired at the end of 2022. Both programs were designed to highlight the crucial nature of simplification given the expected strategic benefits of monetization and existing market conditions.

ESIP participation was limited to PIIP participants, including NEOs as of the ESIP plan effective date of February 22, 2021, who were involved closely in the process of achieving simplification goals within a two-year period. The two-year timeframe reflected the importance of the simplification process to the Company’s strategy and was a key performance factor. Each participant had an aggregate bonus opportunity under the ESIP that ranged from 75% to 100% of their then-current annual PIIP target. The potential payout amounts were set at the below percentages of PIIP target to reflect the workload associated with completing the transactions successfully, the scale of the transactions and the anticipated benefit to the Company’s strategy resulting from the transactions.

The table below describes the award level, as a percentage of the NEO’s 2021 PIIP target, the maximum 2022 award payout and the actual 2022 award amount:
MSIP participation was limited to non-PIIP participants, including non-NEOs as of the MSIP plan effective date of February 22, 2021, who were involved in progress made in executing the Company’s simplification strategy within a two-year period. The two-year timeframe reflected the importance of the simplification process to the Company’s strategy and was a key performance factor. Awards were calculated as a percentage of a transaction value in connection with the monetization of a designated asset group. Award levels for each participant were also based on the participant’s expected level of involvement in transactions related to each respective asset group, as determined by the CEO. The 2022 award payout was $20,550 (out of a potential award of $46,050) for Mr. Chun and $25,688 (out of a potential award of $169,125) for Mr. Schreck.
The Compensation Committee had discretion to determine ESIP payouts and the CEO had discretion to determine MSIP payouts.

Based on the sale of substantially all of the assets of A&B’s Kauai agricultural landholdings and renewable energy assets on June 30, 2022, the Compensation Committee approved the payouts for the NEOs above. The aggregated total award payments of $442,249 represent approximately 0.6% of the $73.9 million of total proceeds received by the Company from the agricultural lands and renewable energy assets.

Other Incentives

In its effort to further simplify A&B’s ongoing operations, as discussed elsewhere in this Proxy Statement, A&B has sought the monetization of the materials and construction business represented by Grace Pacific. Given Mr. Schreck’s critical role in this process for the disposition of Grace Pacific, the Compensation Committee has approved an arrangement to reward Mr. Schreck for positioning Grace for sale by stabilizing and improving Grace operations and for continuing to manage Grace through a sales process and completion of a potential transaction despite the attendant professional uncertainties posed by any such transaction. The special incentive includes (i) a success fee of $250,000 that would be paid based upon the closing of a transaction, (ii) an additional success fee to reward Mr. Schreck for achieving the highest possible value for the business measured based on the total transaction value, a portion of which may be paid on the 12-month anniversary of closing or Mr. Schreck’s earlier termination without cause by the ultimate buyer or retention by the Company as of the closing, and a portion of which may be paid based on the value of any earnout amounts received by A&B measured through the first 12 months following the closing and (iii) special retention in the amount of $330,000 and an amount equal to a pro-rated share of the award opportunity at target under PIIP if Mr. Schreck is not eligible for severance benefits under the Executive Severance Plan.

Long-Term Incentives ("LTI")
Equity grants are generally considered and granted annually in Januaryapproved by the Compensation Committee.Committee at its January meeting. Based on current market data provided by WTW, the CEO makes recommendations for each executive officer other than himself to the Compensation Committee, which retains full authority to set the actual grant amount. In determining the type and size of a grant to an executive officer, the Compensation Committee generally considers, among other things, the items mentioned above in theAssessment of Total Compensationsection.

As a result of the Company’s conversion to a REIT (retroactive to January 1, 2017), outstanding option awards, unvested RSUs, and unvested PSUs were adjusted according to anti-dilution provisions in the equity award agreements.

Each employee option was adjusted on theex-dividend date (when the Company’s stock price was expected to decline by the value of the dividend since any buyers of the stock on or after theex-dividend date were not entitled to the Special Distribution) to maintain the intrinsic value of the option in a manner that complies with IRS rules and avoid potential GAAP expense.

The number of shares subject to each option was based on a ratio of the closing stock price on the day before theex-dividend date and the opening price on theex-dividend date, and the exercise price was adjusted using the inverse of the above ratio. The actual closing and opening prices were $45.02 and $29.80, respectively.

RSUs and PSUs were adjusted in an equitable manner to keep employees and directors whole. These adjustments to awards were approved by the Compensation Committee.TABLE OF CONTENTS

Each restricted stock unit award was adjusted on the dividend payment date to increase the number of units subject to the award in a manner identical to the additional shares issued to external shareholders who received payment of the distribution in the form of a stock dividend. Employees did not receive any portion of the adjustment for the Special Distribution in cash.

Wherever options, RSUs, and/or PSUs are shown in subsequent tables, footnotes will indicate if they are shown on apre- or post-adjusted basis.

In 2017, the Company issued equity awards with a mix of 50% PSUs and 50% RSUs.

Retirement Plans:The Company provides various retirement plans to assist its employees with retirement income savings and to attract and retain its employees. The Committee periodically reviews the value of benefits from the retirement plans in conjunction with all other forms of pay in making compensation decisions.

A&B Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees (Frozen since 2012):The A&B Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees (the “Qualified Retirement Plan”), which is atax-qualified defined benefit pension plan, provides pension benefits to the Company’s salariednon-bargaining unit employees. The Pension Benefits table of this Proxy Statement provides further information regarding the Qualified Retirement Plan. In 2007, A&B Predecessor closed participation in its traditional defined pension plan for newnon-bargaining unit employees hired after January 1, 2008. Effective January 1, 2012, the Company froze benefit accruals under its traditional defined benefit plans for allnon-bargaining unit employees hired before January 1, 2008 and replaced the benefit with a cash balance formula in which participants accrueaccrued 5% of their eligible annual compensation.

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company froze benefit accruals under the cash balance formula and replaced the benefit with a non-elective company contribution to the A&B Individual Deferred Compensation and Profit SharingProfit-Sharing Plan and the A&B Non-Qualified Defined Contribution Plan, as described below.

In February 2021, a plan to terminate the Qualified Retirement Plan was approved. In 2022, participants had the choice of receiving a single lump sum payment or an annuity from a highly-rated insurance company that will pay and administer future benefit payments. The effective date of the termination was May 31, 2021.
A&B Individual Deferred Compensation and Profit-Sharing Plan:The Company has atax-qualified defined contribution retirement plan (the “A&B Profit Sharing Retirement“IDC Plan”) available to all salariednon-bargaining unit employees thatemployees. Beginning in 2020, the IDC Plan provided for a match of up to 3% of the eligible compensation deferred by a participant during the fiscal year, subject to IRS maximum compensation limitations and a non-elective Company contribution equal to 3% of eligible compensation.
The Company has a profit-sharing plan which provides for performance-based discretionary contributions to participants based on the degree of achievement ofpre- tax income goal specific goals similar to the profit sharing plan2022 AIP goals as determined by the Compensation Committee. In 2017, available contributions were set between zero and five percentEmployees are immediately eligible for up to 5% of each employee’sannual base salary.compensation, based on achievement of goals. There was noa 5% profit-sharing contribution for 2017. The plan also provides a discretionary match under the Individual Deferred Compensation (401(k)) component of the plan for all salariednon-bargaining unit employees. In 2017, that plan provided for a match of up to three percent of the compensation deferred by a participant during the fiscal year, subject to IRS maximum compensation limitations. The value of the Company’s 2017 profit sharing contribution and Individual Deferred Compensation matches for NEOs are included in the Summary Compensation Table of this Proxy Statement.

2022.

A&B Excess Benefits Plan:Thisnon-qualified benefit plan (the “Excess Benefits Plan”) for executives is designed to meet the retirement plan objectives described above. Certain executives, including all NEOs,Messrs. Benjamin, Parker and Brown and Ms. Ching, are eligible to participate in the Excess Benefits Plan. It complements the Qualified Retirement Plan and A&B Profit Sharing Retirementthe IDC Plan by providing benefits and contributions in amounts that could not be provided by those plan’s formulas due to the limits imposed by tax law. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company froze benefit accruals under this plan and replaced the benefit with a Non-Qualified Defined Contribution Plan. The Pension Benefits table of this Proxy Statement provides further information regarding the A&B Excess Benefits Plan.

A&B Non-Qualified Defined Contribution Plan: Under the A&B Non-Qualified Defined Contribution Plan, eligible participants receive 3% of their annual eligible compensation in excess of the applicable IRS compensation limit, a discretionary gain sharing contribution up to 5% of base salary in excess of the applicable IRS compensation limit,

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION    

On July 10, 2017, Mr. Ito resigned as the Company’s CFO but continued to serve as Senior Vice President and Treasurer through January 31, 2018. To provide for an orderly transition, the Company entered into a retention agreement with Mr. Ito in which he received $300,000, an additional $175,000 and an additional $195,000, respectively, if he remained employed with A&B through August 31, 2017, October 31, 2017 and December 31, 2017, respectively. During this period, Mr. Ito continued to receive his current base salary and remained eligible to participate in A&B’s benefit plans, but he received no performance, incentive or equity awards under the PIIP.

Also on July 10, 2017, Mr. Mead was appointed CFO. The Company entered into an agreement with Mr. Mead, under which Mr. Mead was (i) paid an annual base salary of $500,000, (ii) received a 2017 cash incentive of $150,000 (an amount equal to a prorated annual cash incentive of 60% of base salary), and (iii) received a long-term incentive grant of $800,000, split equally between time-based restricted stock units and performance share units under the 2012 Plan.

Severance Plan and Change in Control Agreements:The Company provides severance benefits pursuant to the Severance Plan and Change in Control agreements to reinforce and encourage the continued attention and dedication of members of the Company’s top management, including NEOs, to their assigned duties without possible distraction and disruption arising from a change in control agreements to certain executives, including the NEOs, to retain talent during transitions due to a Change in Control or other covered event andevent. Severance arrangements also are provided to providemaintain a competitive pay package. The Compensation Committee designed the change in control agreement to provide a competitively structured program, and yet be conservative overall in the amounts of potential award payouts. The Compensation Committee’s decisions regarding other compensation elements are affected by the potential payouts under these arrangements, as the Committee considers how the terms of these arrangements and the other pay components interrelate. These agreementsarrangements are described in further detail in the “Other Potential Post-Employment Payments” section of this Proxy Statement.

Retiree Health and Medical Plan:Plan, Life and Disability Insurance:The Company provides NEOs with the same retiree medical and life insurance benefits as are provided in general to all salariednon-bargaining unit employees who joined A&B Predecessor prior to January 1, 2008. These benefits aid in retaining long-term service employees and provide for health care costs in retirement. The Company limits itsCompany’s contribution towards the monthly medical premium is based on the employee’s age and years of service.service and is capped at $136 per month. The benefits from this planthese plans are reflected in the “Other Potential Post-Employment Payments” section of this Proxy Statement.

Effective January 1, 2022, NEOs receive the same life insurance coverage maximum of two times base salary as is provided in general to all salaried non-bargaining unit employees, with maximum amounts of $1,000,000 for NEOs and $400,000 for other employees. Effective January 1, 2022, NEOs also receive disability insurance through a group disability program available to all salaried non-bargaining unit employees, plus up to an additional $17,500 a month under an individual disability insurance program based on total base salary and annual incentive target.

The Role of Compensation Survey Data

The Company uses published compensation survey data as a reference but does not benchmark against specific companies within such surveys. The Company operates in a number ofseveral different industries and there are no companies that are considered directly comparable in business mix, size and geographic relevance. Accordingly, the Company does not use data that are specific to any individual segment of the Company’s business but instead, based on the recommendation of WTW, uses data from fivethree national and highly recognized published surveys representing a broad group of general industry and real estate companies similar in size to the Company to assess the Company’s pay practices. WTW uses data subsets in each survey that represent companies of similar size with revenues between $250 million and $1 billion. The survey sources provide only one of the tools that the Committee uses to assess appropriate pay levels. Internal equity, Company performance, business unit performance, compensation philosophy, performance consistency, historical pay movement, pay mix, pay risk, economic environment and individual performance are also reviewed.

The surveys used by WTW in its assessment of total direct compensation and CEO pay ratio as compared to other NEOs include:

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION    

The Role of Management

Management assists the Compensation Committee in its role of determining executive compensation in a number of ways, including:

ways:
ProvidingProvides management’s perspective on compensation plan structure and implementationimplementation.

IdentifyingIdentifies appropriate performance measures and establishingsuggests company, unit and individual performance goals that are consistent with the Board-approved operating plansplans.

Providing the data used to measureThe CEO conducts an annual performance evaluation of NEOs, excluding himself, against established goals,pre-approved Company and individual goals.
The CEO combines performance evaluations with the CEO providing perspective on individual executive performance and compensation amounts

Providing recommendations, based on informationmarket data provided by WTW regarding pay levels for officers on the basis of plan formulas, salary structures and the CEO’s assessment of individual officer performance

Tax and Accounting Considerations

In evaluating the Company’s executivemakes compensation structure,recommendations to the Compensation Committee considers tax and accounting treatment, balancing the effects on the individual and the Company. Until the adoption of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) on December 22, 2017, Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limited the tax deductibility of certain executive compensation in excess of $1,000,000 for any fiscal year, except for certain “performance-based compensation.” With the passage of the Tax Act, only qualifying performance-based compensation paid pursuant to a written binding contract in effect on November 2, 2017 (and not modified in any material respect on or after November 2, 2017) as set forth under the Tax Act will be eligible for this deduction exception. The Tax Act also expanded the executive officers covered by Section 162(m) to include the chief financial officer position as well as any person who ever was a covered executive for any prior taxable year, beginning after December 31, 2016. As a result of these changes, starting in 2018, most compensation in excess of $1,000,000 payable to any person who was a named executive officer of the Company since fiscal year 2016 will not be deductible, regardless of whether the compensation is performance-based.

The Compensation Committee believes that the potential deductibility of the compensation payable under those programs should be only one of a number of relevant factors taken into consideration, and not the sole or primary factor, in establishing the cash and equity compensation programs for the executive officers. The Compensation Committee believes that cash and equity incentive compensation must be maintained at the requisite level to attract and retain the executive officers essential to the Company’s financial success, even if all or part of that compensation may not be deductible by reason of the Section 162(m) limitation.

Policy Regarding Speculative Transactions and Hedging

The Company has adopted a formal policy prohibiting directors, officers and employees from (i) entering into speculative transactions, such as trading in options, warrants, puts and calls or similar instruments, involving A&B stock, or (ii) hedging or monetization transactions, such aszero-cost collars and forward sale contracts, involving A&B stock.

The Company does not prohibit investments in exchange funds.

Policy Regarding Recoupment of Certain Compensation

The Company has adopted a formal “clawback” policy for senior management, including all NEOs. Pursuant to the policy, the Company will seek to recoup certainrecover from each Participant, as defined in the policy, the full or partial portion of any incentive compensation including cash and equity bonuses based uponpaid or granted to, or received by, such Participant during the achievement of financial performance metrics, from executives inthree-year period preceding the event thatdate on which the Company is required to restate itsprepare an accounting restatement that is greater than the amount that would have been paid, granted or received had the financial statements dueresults been originally reported as set forth in the accounting restatement. The Company will update the policy as appropriate to comply with new SEC and NYSE requirements when they are issued and in effect.

Performance stock units awarded in 2017 vest in January 2020 if performance goals are attained at target. If maximum performance goals applicable to the performance stock units were to be achieved, the values in this column with respect to 2017 would be as follows: Mr. Benjamin, $1,677,820; Mr. Mead, $822,570; Mr. Chun, $359,433; Ms. Ching, $359,433; Mr. Parker, $395,430 and Mr. Ito, $479,315.

(3)Represents the NEO’s award attributable to financial goals under the PIIP program for the fiscal year identified in column (b) payable in cash in February of the following year.

(4)All amounts are attributable to the aggregate change in the actuarial present value of the NEO’s accumulated benefit under all defined benefit and actuarial pension plans. The increases in present value of accumulated benefits and change in pension value are primarily driven by the benefits accrued under the traditional defined benefit plan (the pension accrual formula was frozen as of December 31, 2012 and replaced with a 5% cash balance benefit) and the executive’s age when the total pension benefit is calculated annually. By nature, traditional defined benefit plan benefits are more valuable as participants approach retirement age (either early retirement age of 55 or full retirement of age 62 where benefits are unreduced).

(10)Mr. Parker was $2,926,176.

Based on this information, for 2017 the ratioExecutive Vice President and Chief Real Estate Officer of the annual total compensationA&B until November 1, 2021, when he was appointed Chief Operating Officer in addition to his title of our CEOExecutive Vice President. He was appointed President, in addition to the annual total compensationhis title of our median employeeChief Operating Officer, effective January 1, 2023. He also was 43 to 1.

To identify the median employee and the annual total compensationappointed Chief Executive Officer, effective, July 1, 2023.

(11)The change in pension value was a decrease of our median employee and our CEO, we took the following steps:

1.We selected November 17, 2017, which is within the last three months of our fiscal year end (December 31, 2017), as the date upon which we would identify the “median employee” because it enabled us to make such identification in a reasonably efficient manner. We determined that, as of November 17, 2017, our employee population consisted of approximately 856 individuals with all of these individuals located in the United States. This population consisted of our full-time, part-time, and temporary employees.

2.To identify the “median employee”, we utilized the amount of base salary of our employees received, as reflected in our payroll records through November 17, 2017. When determining the “median employee,” we then approximated full-year values of base salary for all employees.

3.We identified our median employee using this compensation measure, which was consistently applied to all our employees included in the calculation. Since our employees are located in the United States, as is our CEO, we did not make anycost-of-living adjustments in identifying the “median employee.”

4.Once we identified our median employee, we combined all of the elements of such employee’s compensation for 2017 in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of RegulationS-K, resulting in annual total compensation of $67,369.

5.With respect to the annual total compensation of our CEO, we used the amount reported in the “Total” column (column (j)) of our 2017 Summary Compensation Table included in this Proxy Statement.

The pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated based on rules and guidance provided by the SEC. The$79,461. Under SEC rules, allowsuch a decrease is shown in the table as $0.

(12)The change in pension value was a decrease of $149,929 for varying methodologies2022 and $88,022 for companies to identify their median employee; and other companies may have different employment and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions2021 . Under SEC rules, such a decrease is shown in calculating their own pay ratios. Consequently, the pay ratios reported by other companies are unlikely to be relevant or meaningful for purposestable as $0.
(13)The change in pension value was a decrease of comparison to our pay ratio$1,731. Under SEC rules, such a decrease is shown in the table as reported here.

The cash balance accounts are projected todue from the assumed retirement age using 2.26% interest per year (the rate in effect for 2018) with no future pay credits.

The Excess Benefits Plan benefits are paid as a lump sum equal to the present value of the traditional defined benefit assumed to be paid on a life annuity basis plus the cash balance account. The present value was determined based on interest rates (with 39% marginal tax rate adjustment) and mortality used in our financial disclosures, i.e., 1.20%2.73% (for the first 5 years), 2.18%3.21% (next 15 years) and 2.65%3.09% (years in excess of 20) applied on a rolling basis, and the Applicable Mortality Table, as defined for lump sum calculations under Section 417(e) of the Internal Revenue Code.

A&B Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees:

Employees:

The A&B Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees (the “Qualified Retirement Plan”) provides pension benefits to the Company’s salaried employees who are not subject to collective bargaining agreements. In 2007, A&B Predecessor closed participation in its traditional defined pension plan and established a cash balance plan for newnon-bargaining unit employees hired after January 1, 2008. A&B Predecessor subsequently froze the traditional plan on January 1, 2012, transitioning all employees to the cash balance plan and lowering the vesting period from five years to three years. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company froze benefit accruals under the cash balance plan.
The traditional defined benefit formula was based on participants’ service and average monthly compensation in the five highest consecutive years of their final 10 years of serviceservice. For participants in the plan who remained employed after its freezing, this measurement period goes only through December 31, 2011. Compensation included base salary, overtime pay andone-year bonuses. The amounts were expressed as a single life annuity payable at the normal retirement age of 65. An employee

became vested after five years of service with A&B Predecessor or the Company. An employee may take early retirement at age 55 or older, if the employee has already completed at least five years of service with A&B Predecessor or the Company. If an employee retires early, the same formula for normal retirement is used, although the benefit will be reduced for commencement before age 62 because the employee will receive payment early and over a longer period of time.

Effective January 1, 2012, a

The replacement cash balance formula provides aprovided annual retirement account contributions equal to 5 percent of an employee’s eligible cash compensation, for each year worked through December 31, 2019, while covered by the cash balance formula, plus interest. The vesting period was reduced from five years to three years for an employee with a cash balance account. At retirement or other separation from service, the employee may elect to receive the vested cash balance portion of the Qualified Retirement Plan benefits as a lump sum or an actuarially equivalent annuity.

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company froze benefit accruals under the cash balance formula and replaced the benefit with a non-elective company contribution through the A&B Individual Deferred Compensation and Profit Sharing Plan for Salaried Non-Bargaining Employees, in which participants receive 3% of their annual eligible compensation. Participants received interest credit for the cash balance benefits after the plan freeze.

In February 2021 a plan to terminate the Qualified Retirement Plan was approved. Participants had the choice of receiving a single lump sum payment or an annuity from a highly-rated insurance company that will pay and administer future benefit payments. The effective date of the termination was May 31, 2021. The lump sum payments and transfer of liabilities and assets to the insurance company were fully executed in 2022. No further benefits are due from the plan.
A&B Excess Benefits Plan:The A&B Excess Benefits Plan is discussed in the CD&A section of this Proxy Statement. Under the pension portion of the Excess Benefits Plan associated with the Qualified Retirement Plan, benefits under the traditional defined benefit formula are payable after the executive’s separation from service in a lump sum that is actuarially equivalent to thesingle life annuity form of payment, and the cash balance account is paid as a lump sum. Under the profit sharing portion of the Excess Benefits Plan associated with the A&B Profit Sharing Retirement Plan, amounts are credited to executives’ accounts based on achievement of goals, to be payable after the executive’s separation from service. All NEOs are eligible to participate in the Excess Benefits Plan.

Effective January 1, 2020, the Company froze benefit accruals under the plan and replaced the benefit with a Non-Qualified Defined Contribution Plan as described below.

A&B Non-Qualified Defined Contribution Plan:Under the A&B Non-Qualified Defined Contribution Plan, eligible participants receive 3% of their annual eligible compensation in excess of the applicable IRS compensation limit, a discretionary gain sharing contribution up to 5% of base salary in excess of the applicable IRS compensation limit based on achievement of goals, and the lesser of 3% of eligible compensation or the applicable IRS deferral limit plan minus the maximum allowable match, including the match on catch-up contributions, under the 401(k) plan.

Change in Control Agreements:A&B has entered into Change in Control Agreements with each of the NEOs whichthat are intended to encourage their continued employment with A&B by providing them with greater security in the event of termination of their employment following a change in control of A&B.&B and certain terminations prior to a change in control. The Company has adopted a participation policy that extends these agreements to those senior level executives whose employment would be most likely at risk upon a change in control. Each Change in Control Agreement has an initialone-year term and is automatically extended at the end of each term for a successiveone-year period, unless terminated by A&B. The Change in Control Agreements provide for certain severance benefits if the executive’s employment is terminated by A&B without “cause” or by the executive for “good reason,”reason” within a specified period following (or prior to) a “Change in Control Event” of A&B, in each case as defined in the agreement, following a “Change in Control Event” of A&B, as defined by Internal Revenue Code Section 409A, as follows: Upon a termination of employment under the above circumstances, the executive will be entitled to receive (i) alump-sum severance payment equal to two times the sum of the executive’s base salary and target bonus, (ii) pro rata payment at target with respect to outstanding contingent awards for uncompleted performance periods, (iii) a lump sum payment of amounts due the executive under deferred compensation plans, and (iv) an amount equal to the positive spread between the

exercise price of outstanding options held by the executive and the fair market value of the underlying shares at the time of termination. In addition, A&B will maintain all (or provide similar) health and welfare benefit plans for the executive’s continued benefit for a period of two years after termination.termination or pay a taxable cash payment equal to the employer cost of providing such benefits. A&B will also reimburse executives for individual outplacement counseling services up to $10,000. These are “double trigger” agreements under which no payments are made and long-term incentives do not accelerate unless both a change in control and a qualifying termination of employment occurs.

In the event that any amount payable to the executive is deemed under the Internal Revenue Code to be made in connection with a change in control of the Company, and such payments would result in the excise tax imposed on “excess parachute payments” under the Internal Revenue Code, the Change in Control Agreements provide that the executive’s payments will be reduced to an amount that would not result in the imposition of the excise tax, to the extent that such reduction would result in a greaterafter-tax benefit to the executive. No taxgross-up payments are provided by the Change in Control Agreements.

If there is a potential change in control of the Company, the executive agrees to remain in the employ of the Company until the earliest of (1) a date six months after the occurrence of the potential change in control, (2) the termination of the executive’s employment by reason of disability or retirement, or (3) the occurrence of a change in control of the Company.

Executive Severance Plan:Plan:The Company also maintains the Executive Severance Plan (“Severance Plan”) that covers the NEOs. The Severance Plan continues from year to year, subject to a periodic review by the Board of Directors. The Severance Plan provides certain severance benefits if a designated executive is involuntarily terminated without “cause,” as defined in the Severance Plan, or laid off from employment as part of a job elimination/

(1)Assumes execution of an acceptable release agreement as provided by the Executive Severance Plan.
(2)If an NEO is disabled, the executive will continue to accrue credited vesting service as long as he/she is continuously receiving disability benefits under A&B’s sickness benefits plan or long-term disability benefit plan. Should the NEO stop receiving disability benefits, the accrual of credited vesting service will cease. Upon the later of attainment of age 65 or the date at which the executive is no longer eligible for disability benefits, the NEO will be entitled to receive a pension benefit based on years of credited benefit service and compensation prior to becoming disabled. Credited benefit service shall not include any periods of disability after December 31, 2011.
(3)Normal retirement is at age 65. An executive with 5 years of service may retire at age 62 with unreduced traditional defined benefit pension benefits. Employees may elect early retirement after attaining age 55 and completing 5 years of service.
(4)Retirement Benefits figures are incremental to the values shown in the Pension Benefits Table, which uses a different set of assumptions for timing of termination as described in the related narrative.
(5)Includes the gain on accelerated stock options and the value of accelerated restricted stock and PSUs. The value of stock awards was determined based on the closing price of A&B common stock on December 30, 2022 of $18.73.
(6)Ms. Ching is 62 or older and is eligible for unreduced retirement benefits per the Company’s retirement plan. Therefore, their benefits upon termination are the same as those shown in the pension benefits table (figures shown in the executive termination table are incremental to those in the pension benefits table).   2018 PROXY STATEMENT

The non-qualified Change in Control (“CIC”) benefits are different as they are calculated based on lump sum assumptions as of the assumed CIC date (as of 12/31/2022).

Therefore, Mr. Chun’s benefits upon termination are the same as those shown in the pension benefits table (figures shown in the executive termination table are incremental to those in the pension benefits table). Mr. Chun’s qualified pension death benefits are different upon death since the death benefits are payable to his spouse assuming Joint & Survivor 50% form of payment is elected(non-qualified death benefits are the same as retirement since they are payable as lump sums, as if Mr. Chun retires as of 1/1/2018). Thenon-qualified Change in Control (“CIC”) benefits are different as they are calculated based on lump sum assumptions as of the assumed CIC date (as of 12/31/2017).

The Excess Benefits Plan benefits are paid, upon termination, as a lump sum equal to the present value of the traditional defined benefit assumed to be paid on a life annuity basis plus the cash balance account. The lump sum conversion was based on interest rates (with 39% marginal tax rate adjustment) and mortality used in our financial disclosures and included in the Pension Benefits section.

CEO to Median Employee Pay Ratio Information
As required by Section 953(b) of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act, and Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, we are providing information about the relationship of the annual total compensation of our employees and the annual total compensation of our CEO. The pay ratio included in this information is a reasonable estimate calculated in a manner consistent with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K.
In determining the summary compensation table amount of pay for our CEO and the median employee, management employed the same methodology used for NEOs as set forth in the 2022 Summary Compensation Table, except that the Company’s contribution to employee health plans was also included. As illustrated below, using the Total Pay amounts, A&B’s 2022 CEO to median employee pay ratio is 37:1.

=Total Pay
CEO$4,244,890$13,096$4,257,985
Median Employee$97,315$19,154$116,469
As permitted under applicable rules, we used the same median employee that was identified in the 2021 proxy statement using the following steps:
1.We selected November 22, 2020, which is within the last three months of our fiscal year end (December 31, 2020), as the date upon which we would identify the “median employee” because it enabled us to make such identification in a reasonably efficient manner. We determined that, as of November 22, 2020, our employee population consisted of approximately 634 individuals, with all of these individuals located in the United States. This population consisted of our full-time part-time, and temporary employees, if any. Our workforce has remained stable since November 2020 and there are no changes to the employee population or compensation arrangements that would result in a significant change in the pay ratio disclosure.
2.To identify the “median employee”, we utilized the amount of base salary and overtime our employees received, as reflected in our payroll records through November 22, 2020. When determining the “median employee,” we then approximated full-year values of base salary for all employees who were employed for a partial year.
3.We identified our median employee using this compensation measure, which was consistently applied to all our employees included in the calculation. Since our employees are located in the United States, as is our CEO, we did not make any cost-of-living adjustments in identifying the “median employee.”
4.Once we identified our median employee, we combined all of the elements of such employee’s compensation for 2022 in accordance with the requirements of Item 402(c)(2)(x) of Regulation S-K, resulting in annual total compensation of $97,315.
5.With respect to the annual total compensation of our CEO, we used the amount reported in the “Total” column (column (j)) of our 2022 Summary Compensation Table included in this Proxy Statement.
The pay ratio is a reasonable estimate calculated based on rules and guidance provided by the SEC. The SEC rules allow for varying methodologies for companies to identify their median employee; and other companies may have different employment and compensation practices and may utilize different methodologies, exclusions, estimates and assumptions in calculating their own pay ratios. Consequently, the pay ratios reported by other companies are unlikely to be relevant or meaningful for purposes of comparison to our pay ratio as reported here.

Chief Executive Officer Transition

Christopher Benjamin will retire as Chief Executive Officer, effective June 30, 2023. As disclosed previously on Form 8-K, in connection with Mr. Benjamin’s retirement, his regular 2023 stock grant award was made in the form of time-based restricted stock units with a grant date value of $1,700,000; shares subject to this award will be issued to him on February 1, 2024. A one-year, post-retirement vesting was determined to be appropriate in light of the planned transition of the CEO role consistent with A&B's succession plan and the standard retirement treatment for equity grants. Mr. Benjamin also entered into a Consulting Agreement to provide transitional assistance with Company projects from July 1, 2023 to December 31, 2023, and he will be paid a retainer at the rate of $85,000 per month. In addition, Mr. Benjamin entered into a letter agreement, which contains non-disclosure, non-compete (for a period of twelve months), and release provisions after his retirement in exchange for a payment of $1,500,000.

Lance K. Parker was appointed Chief Executive Officer of the Company, in addition to his role as President, to be effective as of July 1, 2023. In connection with his appointment as Chief Executive Officer, he will receive an increase in his annual base salary from $563,000 to $675,000. Mr. Parker also will receive an incremental equity award (50% as performance share units and 50% as time-based restricted stock units) with a grant date value of $750,000 to be granted on July 31, 2023.
Executive Compensation – Pay v. Performance
As described in the CD&A beginning on page 21, our executive compensation programs aim to be competitive with our peers and aligned with our business strategy and corporate objectives. Our compensation philosophy emphasizes a pay for performance culture focused on the long-term interests of our shareholders. We believe that this alignment between executive compensation and shareholder interests will drive corporate performance over time. Additionally, the Company maintains strong governance and pay practices, including meaningful share ownership guidelines for directors and executive officers, clawback policies that apply to short-term cash awards and long-term equity awards, “double trigger” change in control benefits and performance of an annual compensation risk assessment by our Compensation Committee.
For purposes of the following executive compensation disclosures, the individuals listed below are referred to collectively as our "Named Executive Officers" for 2022.

Christopher J. Benjamin, Chief Executive Officer

The PVP table demonstrates alignment of Compensation Actually Paid with our performance as measured by TSR (both on an absolute basis and in relation to the FTSE Nareit Equity Shopping Centers index), Net Income and CRE Same-Store NOI Growth.

In 2020, as the global economy and capital markets were severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, our TSR and Net Income declined moderately and CRE Same-Store NOI Growth was negative. Likewise, Compensation Actually Paid of our PEO and the average of our non-PEO NEOs was -22% and -16%, respectively, in relation to Summary Compensation Table pay.

In 2021, our TSR, Net Income and CRE Same-Store NOI Growth each rebounded strongly, and our TSR outperformed the FTSE Nareit Equity Shopping Centers index. In turn, for that year our PEO’s Compensation Actually Paid was 60% higher than his Summary Compensation Table pay, while the average of our non-PEO NEOs’ Compensation Actually Paid was 45% higher than their Summary Compensation Table pay.

For the most recently completed year of 2022, our TSR and CRE Same-Store NOI Growth declined, and we reported Net Income of $-49.5 million. Net loss for 2022 includes after-tax losses from discontinued operations of Grace Pacific and the Company-owned quarry land on Maui of $86.6 million, partially offset by 6.3% growth in the CRE NOI in 2022. Compensation Actually Paid of our PEO and the average of our non-PEO NEOs was -22% and -50%, respectively, in relation to Summary Compensation Table pay.

Use ofNon-GAAP Financial Measures

Cash Net Operating Income (“Cash NOI”)

NOI is a non-GAAP measure used internally in evaluating the unlevered performance of the Company’s Commercial Real Estate portfolio. The Company believes NOI provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial condition and results of operations because it reflects only the contractual income and cash-based expense items that are incurred at the property level. When compared across periods, NOI can be used to determine trends in earnings of the Company’s properties as this measure is not affected by non-contractual revenue (e.g., straight-line lease adjustments required under GAAP); by non-cash expense recognition items (e.g., the impact of depreciation and amortization expense or impairments); or by other expenses or gains or losses that do not directly relate to the Company’s ownership and operations of the properties (e.g., indirect selling, general, administrative and other expenses, as well as lease termination income). The Company believes the exclusion of these items from operating profit (loss) is useful because the resulting measure captures the contractually-based revenue that is realizable (i.e., assuming collectability is deemed probable) and the direct property-related expenses paid or payable in cash that are incurred in operating the Company’s Commercial Real Estate portfolio, as well as trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. NOI should not be viewed as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated asin accordance with GAAP.
NOI represents total property revenuesCommercial Real Estate contractually-based operating revenue that is realizable (i.e., assuming collectability is deemed probable) less the direct property-related operating expenses. Cashexpenses paid or payable in cash. The calculation of NOI excludes the impact of depreciation and amortization (e.g., depreciation related to capitalized costs for improved properties, other capital expenditures for building/area improvements and tenant space improvements, as well as amortization of leasing commissions); straight-line rentlease adjustments (including amortization of lease incentives); amortization of favorable/unfavorable leases, amortizationlease assets/liabilities; lease termination income; interest and other income (expense), net; selling, general, administrative and other expenses (not directly associated with the property); and impairment of tenant incentives, general and administrative expenses, impairments ofcommercial real estate depreciationassets.
The Company reports NOI on a Same-Store basis, which includes the results of properties that were owned and amortization (including amortizationoperated for the entirety of maintenance capital, tenant improvementsthe current and leasing commissions)prior calendar year. The Same-Store pool excludes properties under development or redevelopment and also excludes properties acquired or sold during either of the comparable reporting periods. While there is management judgment involved in classifications, new developments and redevelopments are moved into the Same-Store pool after one full calendar year of stabilized operation. New developments and redevelopments are generally considered stabilized upon the initial attainment of 90% occupancy. Properties included in held for sale are excluded from Same-Store.
The Company believes that reporting on a Same-Store basis provides investors with additional information regarding the operating performance of comparable assets versus from other factors (such as the effect of developments, redevelopments, acquisitions or dispositions).

The Company’s methods of calculatingnon-GAAP measures may differ from methods employed by other companies and thus may not be comparable to such other companies.

Cash NOI is anon-GAAP measure used by the Company in evaluating the CRE segment’s operating performance as it is an indicator of the return on property investment and provides a method of comparing performance of operations, on an unlevered basis, over time. Cash NOI should be not be viewed as a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures calculated in accordance with GAAP.

PROPOSAL NO. 3: RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of our independent registered public accounting firm. The Audit Committee also conducts an annual evaluation of the independent registered public accounting firm. After evaluating, among other things, qualifications, performance and independence of Deloitte & Touche LLP, the Audit Committee has appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of A&B for the ensuing year, and the Audit Committee recommends that shareholders vote in favor of ratifying such appointment. Although ratification of this appointment is not required by law, the Board believes that it is desirable as a matter of corporate governance. Even if the appointment is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may select a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time if it determines that such a change would be in our best interests and those of our shareholders. If shareholders do not ratify the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP, it will be considered as a recommendation to the Board and the Audit Committee to consider the retention of a different firm. Representatives of Deloitte & Touche LLP are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, where they will have the opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will be available to respond to appropriate questions from shareholders.

Any additional proposed services or costs exceedingpre-approved cost levels require additionalpre-approval as described above. The Audit Committee may delegatepre-approval authority to one or more of its members for services not to exceed a specific dollar amount per engagement. Requests forpre-approval include a description of the services to be performed, the fees to be charged and the expected dates that the services will be performed. All services provided by Deloitte & Touche LLP during 20172022 werepre-approved in accordance with these policies.

Shareholders who participate in householding will continue to receive separate proxy cards. We will promptly send a separate Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or our annual report and proxy statement to a shareholder at a shared address on request. Shareholders with a shared address may also request us to send separate Notices of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials or our annual reports and proxy statements in the future, or to send a single copy in the future if we are currently sending multiple copies to the same address.
