MATSON ANNOUNCES QUARTERLY DIVIDEND OF $0.30 PER SHARE AND THE ADDITION OF 3 MILLION SHARES TO EXISTING SHARE REPURCHASE PROGRAM

HONOLULU, Hawaii (January  27, 2022) – The Board of Directors of Matson, Inc. (NYSE: MATX), a leading U.S. carrier in the Pacific, today declared a first quarter dividend of $0.30 per common share. The dividend will be paid on March 3, 2022 to all shareholders of record as of the close of business on February 10, 2022. The Board also approved adding three million shares, or approximately seven percent of outstanding common shares, to the existing three million share repurchase program, to be effective after the announcement of Matson’s fourth quarter 2021 financial results on or about February 17, 2022. As of January 26, 2022, the existing share repurchase program had approximately 0.3 million shares remaining.

“We are pleased to announce the addition of three million shares to our existing share repurchase program,” said Matt Cox, Matson’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “We will be both disciplined and opportunistic in our capital allocation, and we remain committed to return excess cash to shareholders as a means to create additional shareholder value over the long-term.”

Shares will be repurchased in the open market from time to time at the Company’s discretion, based on ongoing assessments of the capital needs of the business, the market price of its common shares and general market conditions. The Company may enter into Rule 10b5-1 plans to facilitate purchases under the program. The repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time.
