PROXY STATEMENT


GENERAL INFORMATION
 
    The Board of Directors of Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. (“A&B” or the “Company”) is soliciting proxies for the Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on April 30, 2009 and at any adjournment or postponement of the meeting (the “Annual Meeting”).
 
    In accordance with rules and regulations adopted by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), instead of mailing a printed copy of our proxy materials to each stockholder of record, we are now furnishing proxy materials on the Internet.  You will not receive a printed copy of the proxy materials, unless you request it.  If you would prefer to receive printed proxy materials, please follow the instructions for requesting such materials as contained in the Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials. This new process is designed to expedite stockholders' receipt of proxy materials, lower the cost of the Annual Meeting and help conserve natural resources.
 
    On or around March 12, 2009, we mailed to our stockholders (other than those who previously requested electronic or paper delivery) a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, which contains instructions as to how you may access and review on the Internet all of our proxy materials, including this Proxy Statement, and our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  The Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials also instructs you as to how you may vote your proxy on the Internet.
 
    Only shareholders of record at the close of business on February 20, 2009 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. On that date, there were 41,025,935 shares of common stock outstanding, without par value, each of which is entitled to one vote. Provided a quorum is present, the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares of A&B common stock represented at the Annual Meeting, in person or by proxy, will be necessary for the election of directors and the ratification of the appointment of the independent registered public accounting firm. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be included for purposes of determining a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote to withhold authority in the election of directors, and abstentions and broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote against the ratification of the independent registered public accounting firm.
 
    Following the original distribution of proxy soliciting material, officers, employees and directors of A&B and its subsidiaries may solicit proxies by telephone or by other appropriate means. Arrangements also will be made with brokerage houses and other custodians, nominees and fiduciaries that are record holders of A&B’s common stock to forward proxy soliciting material to the beneficial owners of the stock, and A&B will reimburse those record holders for their reasonable expenses. A&B has retained the firm of Morrow & Co., Inc. to assist in the solicitation of proxies, at a cost of $9,500 plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.
 
    A proxy may be revoked at any time prior to its exercise by a written revocation bearing a later date than the proxy and filed with the Corporate Secretary of A&B, by submission of a later-dated proxy or subsequent Internet or telephonic proxy, or by voting in person at the Annual Meeting.
 
    This Proxy Statement and our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K have been made available to shareholders on the Internet on or about March 12, 2009.

The Bylaws of A&B provide that no person (other than a person nominated by or on behalf of the Board) will be eligible to be elected a director at an annual meeting of shareholders unless a written shareholder’s notice in proper form that the person’s name be placed in nomination is received by the Chairman of the Board, the President, or the Corporate Secretary of A&B not less than 120 days nor more than 150 days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately preceding annual meeting. If the annual meeting is not called for a date which is within 25 days of the anniversary date of the preceding annual meeting, a shareholder’s notice must be given not later than 10 days after the date on which notice of the annual meeting was mailed or public disclosure of the date of the annual meeting was made, whichever occurs first. To be in proper written form, a shareholder’s notice must include specified information about each nominee and the shareholder making the nomination. The notice also must be accompanied by a written consent of each proposed nominee to being named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected.
 
Separate procedures have been established for shareholders to submit director candidates for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. These procedures are described below under the subsection “Nominating Committee Processes.”
 
CERTAIN INFORMATION CONCERNING THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
 
Director Independence. The Board has reviewed each of its current directors and has determined that all such persons, with the exception of Mr. Doane, who is an executive officer of A&B, are independent under New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) rules. In making its independence determinations, the Board considered the following transactions, relationships or arrangements not otherwise disclosed elsewhere in this Proxy Statement:  Dr. Chun - -- the purchase of a condominium unit from an A&B subsidiary at the market price, a leasing relationship and a property development relationship between a joint venture in which a subsidiary of A&B is a member and Kamehameha Schools, an entity with which Dr. Chun is employed; and A&B’s banking relationships with Bank of Hawaii, an entity of which Dr. Chun is a director; Mr. Dods – A&B’s banking relationships with First Hawaiian Bank, an entity of which Mr. Dods was Non-Executive Chairman of the Board until his retirement as Chairman in December 2008 (he remains a director of First Hawaiian Bank); and Mr. Watanabe – A&B’s banking relationships with American Savings Bank, an entity of which Mr. Watanabe is a director, and which is a subsidiary of HEI, an entity of which Mr. Watanabe is Non-Executive Chairman of the Board, and electricity sales by a division of A&B to a subsidiary of HEI.
 
Board of Directors and Committees of the Board. The Board of Directors held ten meetings during 2008. In conjunction with four of these meetings, the non-management directors of A&B met in formally-scheduled executive sessions, led by the Lead Independent Director. In 2008, all directors were present for at least 75 percent of the meetings of the A&B Board of Directors and Committees of the Board on which they serve, and eight of the nine directors were present at 100 percent of such meetings. The Board of Directors has an Audit Committee, a Compensation Committee, and a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.  Each of the Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees is governed by a charter, copies of which are available on the corporate governance page of A&B’s corporate website at www.alexanderbaldwin.com and are available in print upon request addressed to Alexander & Baldwin, Inc., 822 Bishop Street, Honolulu, Hawaii 96813, Attention:  Corporate Secretary.
 
Audit Committee:  The current members of the Audit Committee, which held six meetings during 2008, are Mr. Pasquale, Chairman, Mr. Baird, Mr. Dods and Ms. Lau, each of whom is an independent director under the applicable NYSE listing standards and SEC rules and regulations. All four members of the Audit Committee have been determined by the Board of Directors to be audit committee financial experts under the rules of the SEC. The duties and responsibilities of the Audit Committee are set forth in a written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, and are summarized in the Audit Committee Report which appears in this Proxy Statement.
 
Compensation Committee:  The current members of the Compensation Committee, which held five meetings during 2008, are Mr. King, Chairman, Dr. Chun, Ms. Shaw and Mr. Watanabe, each of whom is an independent director under the applicable NYSE listing standards. The Compensation Committee has general responsibility for management and other salaried employee compensation and benefits, including incentive compensation and stock incentive plans, and for making recommendations on director compensation to the Board.
 
The following are the processes and procedures performed by the Compensation Committee:
 
·  
Reviews the Company’s compensation, benefit and incentive plans, and, if appropriate, adopts or recommends to the Board the adoption of new plans or amendments or termination of existing plans.
·  
Approves the granting of any stock option, stock grant, stock appreciation right or other equity-based awards, or deferred compensation under incentive plans.
·  
Initiates the performance appraisal process by which the Compensation Committee and the independent directors evaluate the performance of the Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and the independent directors approve the CEO’s base compensation level.
·  
Approves the compensation of executive officers of the Company, other than the base compensation of the CEO.
·  
Evaluates and recommends to the Board the appropriate level of compensation for Board and Committee service by non-employee members of the Board.
 
The Compensation Committee may form subcommittees and delegate such power and authority as the Committee deems appropriate. However, no subcommittee may have fewer than two members and the Committee may not delegate to a subcommittee any power or authority required by any law, regulation or listing standard to be exercised by the Committee as a whole. Certain authorities have been delegated to the CEO regarding the approval of base compensation of non-executive officers, administration of certain small non-executive sales commission and incentive plans and exceptions to eligibility, and minor adjustments to target opportunities and adjustments to individual goals under the A&B Annual Incentive Plan.
 
In 2008, the Company’s Compensation Committee retained the independent consulting firm Watson Wyatt Worldwide (“Watson Wyatt”) to assist the Committee in various compensation matters, as described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this Proxy Statement.
 
The role of executive officers in executive compensation is described in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this Proxy Statement. Executive officers are not involved in determining director compensation.
 
Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee:  The current members of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee (the “Nominating Committee”), which held three meetings in 2008, are Mr. Dods, Chairman, Dr. Chun and Ms. Shaw, each of whom is an independent director under the applicable NYSE listing standards. The functions of the Nominating Committee include identifying and recommending to the Board individuals qualified to serve as directors of A&B; recommending to the Board the size of committees of the Board and monitoring the functioning of the committees; advising on Board composition and procedures; reviewing corporate governance principles and other corporate governance issues; and overseeing the annual evaluation of the Board, ensuring that an evaluation of management is occurring and evaluating the Nominating Committee’s performance.
 
Nominating Committee Processes. The Nominating Committee identifies potential nominees by asking current directors to notify the Nominating Committee if they become aware of qualified persons who might be available to serve on the Board. The Nominating Committee also, from time to time, engages firms that specialize in identifying director candidates.
 
The Nominating Committee also 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. The Nominating Committee may also take into consideration the number of shares held by the recommending shareholder and the length of time that such shares have been held. To have a candidate considered by the Nominating Committee, a shareholder must submit a written recommendation that includes the name of the shareholder, evidence of the shareholder’s ownership of A&B stock (including the number of shares owned and the length of time of ownership), the name of the candidate, the candidate’s résumé or a listing of his or her qualifications to be a director of A&B and the candidate’s consent to be named as a nominee if recommended by the Nominating Committee and nominated by the Board for approval by the shareholders.
 
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.
 
The Nominating Committee believes that the minimum qualifications for serving as a director of A&B are that a nominee demonstrate 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 that it deems to be in the best interests of A&B and its shareholders, such as business experience, financial expertise and group decision-making skills.
 
Once a potential candidate has been identified by the Nominating Committee, the Nominating Committee collects and 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 Governance Guidelines. The Board of Directors has adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines to assist the Board in the exercise of its responsibilities and to promote the more effective functioning of the Board and its committees. The guidelines provide details on matters such as:
 
·  
Goals and responsibilities of the Board
·  
Selection of directors, including the Chairman of the Board and Lead Independent Director
·  
Board membership criteria and director retirement age
·  
Stock ownership guidelines
·  
Director independence, and executive sessions of non-management directors
·  
Board self-evaluation
·  
Board compensation
·  
Board access to management and outside advisors
·  
Board orientation and continuing education
·

Represents the dollar value of a proportional amount of the 1,837 and 1,894 restricted stock units granted via the A&B 2007 Incentive Compensation Plan in 2007 and 2008, respectively, to each director and expensed under SFAS No. 123R, based on the closing price of the Company’s stock on the date of the grant. The grant date fair value for each restricted stock unit award in both years approximated $100,000. Each director had 3,119 restricted stock units outstanding at the end of 2008.
(2)
Represents the dollar value of a proportional amount of options expensed under SFAS No. 123R granted via the A&B 1998 Non-Employee Director Stock Option Plan based on the Black Scholes value on the date of each grant. See Note 11 of the consolidated financial statements of the Company’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K regarding the assumptions underlying valuation of equity awards. There were no options granted in 2008 or 2007. The aggregate number of stock option awards outstanding at the end of 2008 for each director is as follows:  Mr. Baird – 0 shares; Dr. Chun – 36,515 shares; Messrs. Dods and King – 39,000 shares each; Ms. Lau and Ms. Shaw – 24,000 shares each; Mr. Pasquale – 16,000 shares; and Mr. Watanabe – 27,000 shares.
(3)
All amounts are attributable to the aggregate change in the actuarial present value of the director’s accumulated benefit under a defined benefit pension plan.
(4)
Represents charitable contributions under the matching gifts program described below on page 7.
(5)
The change in pension value was a decrease of $7,776.
(6)
The change in pension value was a decrease of $23,087.
(7)
The change in pension value was a decrease of $21,219.
 
Outside directors received an annual cash retainer of $33,000. Messrs. King and Dods received an additional annual retainer fee of $7,500 for serving as Chairpersons of the Compensation Committee and the Nominating Committee, respectively, and Mr. Pasquale received an additional annual retainer fee of $12,000 for serving as Chairperson of the Audit Committee. Mr. Dods received an additional annual retainer fee of $20,000 for serving as the Lead Independent Director. Outside directors received an attendance fee of $1,500 per Board meeting and, in addition, attendance fees of $1,500 per committee meeting. All directors of A&B served as directors of A&B’s Matson subsidiary and, in such capacities, outside directors received attendance fees of $1,200 per Matson Board meeting.  Directors who are employees of A&B or its subsidiaries do not receive compensation for serving as directors. Outside directors may defer half or all of their annual cash retainer and meeting fees until retirement or until a later date they may select; no directors have deferred any of these fees.
 
Under the terms of the Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. 2007 Incentive Compensation Plan (“2007 Plan”), an automatic grant of $100,000 in restricted stock units is given to each director who is elected or reelected as an outside director of A&B at each Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The award vests in equal increments over three years.  Outside directors may defer $10,000 - $100,000 of their vested shares until cessation of board service, the fifth anniversary of the award date, or whichever is earlier. Two directors have elected to make such a deferral.
 
Under A&B’s retirement plan for directors, a director with five or more years of service will receive a lump-sum payment upon retirement or attainment of age 65, whichever is later (but in no event later than the date of the first annual meeting of shareholders after the director attains age 72), that is actuarially equivalent to a payment stream for the life of the director consisting of 50 percent of the amount of the annual retainer fee in effect at the time of his or her retirement or other termination, plus 10 percent of that amount, up to an additional 50 percent, for each year of service as a director over five years. Effective December 31, 2004, these retirement benefits were frozen based on a director’s service and retainer on that date and no further benefits accrue for subsequent periods.
 
Directors have business travel accident coverage of $200,000 for themselves and $50,000 for their spouses while accompanying directors on A&B business. They also may participate in the Company’s matching gifts program, in which the Company matches contributions to qualified cultural and educational organizations up to a maximum of $3,000 for each director annually.
 
Director Share Ownership Guidelines. The Board has adopted a “Share Ownership Guideline Policy” for itself, encouraging each non-employee director to own A&B common stock (including restricted stock units) with a value of five times the amount of the current cash retainer of $33,000 or three thousand (3,000) shares. Directors will endeavor to obtain the specified amount of shares by April 1, 2010, or within five years of becoming a director, whichever period is later.  All non-employee directors have met the established guidelines.
 
Shareholder Communications with Directors. Shareholders may contact any member (or all members) of the Board by mail. To communicate with the Board of Directors, correspondence should be addressed to the Board of Directors or any one or more individual directors or group or committee of directors by either name or title. All such correspondence should be sent “c/o A&B Law Department” at A&B’s headquarters at 822 Bishop Street, Honolulu, Hawaii  96813.
 
All communications received as described above will be opened by the A&B Law Department for the sole purpose of determining whether the contents constitute a communication to A&B’s directors. Any contents that are not in the nature of advertising, promotions of a product or service, or patently offensive material will be forwarded promptly to the director or directors to whom it is addressed. In the case of communications to the Board or to any group of directors, the A&B Law Department will make sufficient copies of the contents to send to each addressee.
 
In addition, it is A&B policy that directors are invited and strongly encouraged to attend the Annual Meeting of Shareholders. All of the directors attended the 2008 Annual Meeting.

        Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance. Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) requires A&B’s directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10 percent of its common stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership on Forms 3, 4 and 5 with the SEC. A&B believes that during fiscal 2008, its directors and executive officers filed all reports required to be filed under Section 16(a) on a timely basis.
 
Certain Relationships and Transactions. A&B has adopted a written policy under which the Audit Committee must pre-approve all related person transactions that are disclosable under SEC Regulation S-K, Item 404(a). 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 or arrangement requires the approval of the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee considers all of the relevant facts and circumstances available, including (if applicable) but not limited to: the benefits to the Company; the impact on a director’s independence in the event the person in question is a director, an immediate family member of a director or an entity in which a director 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 stockholders.
 
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 Committee members between meetings via fax, e-mail or written correspondence. Approval by a majority of the Committee members will be sufficient to approve the related person transaction. If a related person transaction is approved in this manner, the action will be reported at the next Audit Committee meeting.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
 
Compensation Discussion and Analysis (“CD&A”)
 
The CD&A addresses A&B’s compensation practices for 2008 for the five executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table below (collectively, the “Named Executive Officers” or “NEOs”).
 
Compensation Overview
 
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives. The Company seeks to align its objectives with shareholder interests through a compensation program that attracts, motivates and retains outstanding executives, and rewards outstanding performance. To achieve this, the Company uses the following pay elements (described in further detail under “Pay Elements” below):
 
·  
Salary,
·  
Annual cash incentives,
·  
Equity-based incentives,
·  
Health and welfare benefits,
·  
Retirement benefits,
·  
Severance Plan and Change in Control agreements, and
·  
Executive perquisites.
 
Target Compensation Percentiles. To achieve the Company’s compensation philosophy, the Compensation Committee has set target compensation percentiles as follows:
 
·  
Cash compensation at or about the 50th percentile of competitive survey data (described in detail under “The Role of Survey Benchmarking”).
·  
Total direct compensation (salary, annual incentives at target and long-term incentives) at or about the 60th percentile.
·  
Total compensation (total direct compensation, plus health and welfare benefits, retirement benefits and perquisites) at or about the 60th percentile.
 
Actual compensation may be higher or lower, depending on Company and individual performance.
 
The Company’s target compensation percentiles reflect the highly competitive and unique businesses and geographies in which it competes. Attracting and retaining top talent in these businesses and geographic segments, particularly Hawaii and the San Francisco Bay Area, where the high cost of living and competitive job market normally challenge the Company’s staffing efforts, remain difficult. Notwithstanding the challenging environment, A&B has been able to successfully compete for talent with its current target compensation levels. In 2008, a competitive assessment of salary, target annual and target long-term incentives for Company executives was conducted and found that salaries and target total cash compensation are at about the 40th percentile and total direct compensation is at about the 50th percentile of competitive practices.  While this is below the established compensation philosophy, the Committee believes this is appropriate at this time given the economic environment.
 
Combination of Pay Elements. The Company’s target compensation percentiles, described above, result in a program that places greater emphasis on performance-based compensation and also focuses on long-term talent retention. The Committee believes that this is consistent with one of its key compensation objectives, which is to align management interests with shareholder interests.  The Compensation Committee places more emphasis on incentive compensation than competitive practice, as shown in the table below.  The Committee believes this philosophy provides the greatest benefit to shareholders.

The Compensation Committee does not use specific formulas to determine the mix of pay elements, or the allocation between cash and non-cash compensation or among non-cash forms of pay.
 
Review of Total Compensation. As part of determining total compensation, the Compensation Committee reviews:
 
·  
A summary of the value of all compensation elements, both direct and non-direct, provided to the executive during the year,
·  
Competitive survey data,
·  
The accumulated value of outstanding equity grants and its sensitivity to stock price movement,
·  
Health and welfare benefits and retirement plan balances,
·  
Company and individual performance,
·  
Economic environment, and
·  
Business unit strategic goals and performance expectations.
 
The Compensation Committee uses this information to evaluate:
 
·  
Consistency with the Company’s compensation philosophy,
·  
Consistency with competitive survey data,
·  
Internal pay equity based on individual performance, job level and competitive compensation data, and
·  
The effect of potential payments, awards and plan design changes on the executive’s total pay package.
 
Internal Pay Equity. The Compensation Committee considers internal pay equity as one factor of many to be considered in establishing compensation for executives.  While there is no policy established regarding the ratio of total compensation of the CEO to that of the other executive officers, the Compensation Committee does review compensation levels to ensure that appropriate equity exists.  In 2008, it reviewed the ratio of the CEO’s salary, total cash and total direct compensation relative to the average compensation for the other four NEOs, as reflected in the table below. These ratios were compared to benchmark survey data to determine whether compensation relationships are competitive.  The Company’s target and actual ratios were found to be within the range of reasonableness and fairly consistent with typical practices for companies of similar size in general industry.

* Based on base salary as of December 31, 2008, annual incentives paid in 2009 for 2008 performance and long-term incentive grants made in January 2008.  This ratio does not reflect the long-term incentive award values in the Summary Compensation Table because the SEC requires reporting of share-based compensation expensed for the year, which typically includes awards from multiple prior years. The Compensation Committee believes reviewing the values for the grants made for a single performance year is more appropriate when considering compensation ratios.
 
Effect of Recent Economic Challenges on Executive Pay
 
Recent economic challenges have influenced the Company’s executive compensation programs.  Although the Company’s overall performance in 2008 was favorable, with only a modest seven percent year-over-year decline in earnings in comparison to a very strong 2007 performance, given the increasing weakness in profitability during the latter half of 2008 and the uncertain state of the economy, actions have been taken that reflect the challenges facing the Company.  Incentive compensation awards for 2008 reflected the Company’s lower overall performance, which is consistent with the Company’s focus upon compensation that is performance-based.  No salary increases were provided to NEOs (other than a promotion increase provided to Mr. Cox) in 2008 and no increases are expected again in 2009, unless related to increases in job responsibilities.  In addition, incentive opportunities for 2009 were reduced by 25 percent as part of a number of proactive measures that the Company has put in place for 2009 in light of expected continued economic challenges.  Profit-sharing targets also have been reduced, and certain executive perquisites have been capped.  These actions are considered to be necessary based on expected Company performance in 2009; however, the Compensation Committee may consider exercising its discretion to make adjustments as the year progresses and more is known about A&B’s profitability and the overall economic situation.
 
The Company also considered the changes in stock price and its effect on the Company’s long-term incentive grants. The impact of a lower share price generally results in more options and restricted shares being granted to plan participants. The Compensation Committee reviewed the resulting number of shares required to meet A&B’s long-term incentive target values and reduced long-term incentive target award values for 2009, and made adjustments to the equity mix as appropriate, factoring in the total shares to be granted for the year and the effect on shareholder dilution.
 
 
Pay Elements
 
The Company provides the following pay elements to its executive officers in varying combinations to accomplish its compensation objectives.
 
Salary: Salary is intended to provide a competitive fixed rate of pay based upon an executive’s responsibilities.  The Company’s general philosophy is to provide salaries at the median of salaries paid to officers with comparable job responsibilities in general industry companies of similar size to the Company. Factors that are considered in determining salary include:
 
·  
Job responsibilities and experience,
·  
The executive’s performance,
·  
Competitive survey data,
·  
Positioning within the executive’s salary range,
·  
Positioning in relation to the Company’s pay philosophy,
·  
Projected salary increases in the general industry,
·  
The value of the executive’s total pay package at target for the year,
·  
Economic conditions, and
·  
Company performance.
 
Potential gains or the accumulated value of compensation under the equity or benefits programs are not considered when determining salary, although they are considered in determining other elements of compensation.
 
The Board of Directors determines the CEO’s annual salary change on the basis of the factors mentioned above. The Board has a formal performance review process for the CEO that in 2008 included five categories:  financial performance, strategic effectiveness and innovation, business management, talent management, and personal effectiveness. None of the categories are weighted, and there is no overall rating score. Each board member provides written observations and rates the CEO’s performance against the criteria. The Board of Directors discusses the results of the assessment with the CEO, discussing the areas of greatest strength and the areas where improvements could be made. The result of this process is only one factor in determining the CEO’s actual annual salary increase.
 
The CEO recommends annual salary changes for the other NEOs. Salary increases for NEOs are generally considered by the Compensation Committee in February of each year for implementation on April 1st. In 2008, based on expected financial challenges for the year and at management’s recommendation, no base salary increases were received by the NEOs, except upon increases in job responsibilities.  Similarly, no base salary increases are planned for NEOs in 2009 unless related to increases in job responsibilities or it is determined that economic circumstances have changed materially to support reconsideration.  On October 1, 2008, Mr. Kuriyama was appointed President of A&B and Mr. Cox was appointed President of Matson.  Mr. Cox received a salary increase of 15.4 percent to reflect his increased responsibilities.  Mr. Kuriyama elected not to receive a salary increase.

Annual Incentives: Annual incentives are provided through the One-Year Performance Improvement Incentive Plan (“PIIP”) to motivate executives and reward them if they achieve specific corporate, business unit and individual goals. These goals are established in February of each year.
 
Weighting of Goals. The weighting of the corporate, business unit and individual goals depends on the executive’s position and responsibilities. The 2008 weighting is as follows and was determined by the Compensation Committee to provide proper balance between financial and strategic goals:

In 2009, the weighting of goals for Messrs. Kuriyama and Cox were revised to 70 percent corporate and 30 percent individual for Mr. Kuriyama and 20 percent corporate, 50 percent transportation business unit and 30 percent individual for Mr. Cox, reflecting changes to their job responsibilities.
 
Determination of Annual Cash Incentive Award. Each component -- corporate, business unit and individual -- is evaluated against the respective performance measures and goals.  There are three levels of award opportunities for each component:  threshold, target and extraordinary. In 2008, target award opportunity levels for NEOs range from 50 percent to 70 percent of salary. If a threshold goal is not achieved, there will be no payout for that component. If threshold goals are achieved, a participant will receive 50 percent of the target award opportunity set for that component. If target or extraordinary goals are achieved, a participant will receive 100 or 200 percent, respectively, of the target award opportunity for that component. Awards are prorated for performance between the threshold, target and extraordinary levels, as applicable.  No additional award is provided for performance above the extraordinary goal level.
 
The CEO reviews the annual cash incentive award calculations for each individual (other than himself), and makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding payouts, including the reasons for his recommendations. The Compensation Committee approves the awards and has discretion to modify recommended awards, both positively and negatively, to take into consideration factors it believes more appropriately reflect the performance of the Company, unit, or individual. Such factors may vary, but may include, for individuals, adjustments for an executive taking on temporary but significant additional responsibilities to his normal job role or, for the Company or a business unit, adjustments for extraordinary events.
 
Working with Watson Wyatt-supplied reports and using data as described in the benchmark section on page 18, management and the Compensation Committee reviewed target award levels for the annual cash incentive awards and confirmed that each NEO is at or below the 50th percentile and target total cash is below the 50th percentile for each of the NEOs, as shown in the table below. In line with other expense reduction measures taken by the Company, target incentive opportunities for 2009 for each NEO have been reduced by the Committee by 25 percent.  The Committee may adjust opportunity targets to more competitive levels at any time it deems it reasonable.

While the Compensation Committee does not anticipate circumstances under which a restatement of earnings upon which incentive compensation award decisions were based would occur, should such circumstances arise the Compensation Committee has the discretion to take necessary actions to protect the interests of shareholders, including actions to seek to recover such incentive awards.  In 2008, the Compensation Consultant provided the Committee with an overview of current market practices with regard to recovery or recoupment policies.  The Committee plans to further review this issue in 2009.
 
Company and Business Unit Performance. The corporate component measure in 2008 was based on the operating plan approved by the Board of Directors and was weighted 65 percent on corporate profit before income tax and 35 percent on return on invested capital (“ROIC”). Performance goals for the Transportation and Real Estate units were weighted 65 percent on business unit profit before income tax and 35 percent on ROIC. Profit before income tax was selected as a performance component because the Company believes it best reflects the results of business execution and profitability levels. ROIC was chosen as a performance component because it is a key measure in identifying how effectively the Company is utilizing its capital resources. The Company believes that both performance goals align shareholder and executive interests.
 
The annual corporate and business unit targets reflect the Company’s Board-approved operating plan. When establishing the operating plan, management and the Board of Directors consider the historical performance of the Company, external elements such as economic conditions and competitive factors, Company capabilities, performance objectives, and the Company’s strategic plan.
 
If performance with respect to a corporate or business unit component is below the threshold level, there is no incentive payout made for that component. The target levels for corporate and business unit goals were set at 100 percent of the 2008 Board-approved operating plan amounts. Should the Company or any business unit exceed the extraordinary level of performance, awards are capped at the extraordinary level. However, the Compensation Committee believes that part of its role is to apply informed discretionary judgment to the goals and achievements.  For 2008 performance, as it has in years past, the Committee made a planned adjustment to profit before income tax results to take into consideration imputed interest on stock repurchases.
 
For determination of award levels for 2008, the Company’s 2008 operating performance was compared to the performance goals approved by the Compensation Committee in January 2008. Corporate goals and actual results were as follows:

        Operating performance in 2008 was lower than planned, with consolidated corporate profit before income tax and ROIC between threshold and target levels.  While results were below objectives, they were achieved in a rapidly deteriorating economic environment.  As the result of a strong first half performance in development sales, solid property sales throughout the year and aggressive cost-reduction measures, the Company posted a favorable full-year result, representing a modest seven percent year-over-year decline in earnings compared to a strong 2007 performance.
 
Individual Performance. In addition to corporate and business unit performance goals, each NEO had 30 percent of his 2008 award based on achieving individual goals. These individual goals vary, depending upon the NEO’s position in the Company and/or the activities of the NEO’s business unit. Certain individual goals are objective and therefore measurable; other individual goals are more qualitative in nature. Individual goals are approved by the Compensation Committee each year. Performance against individual goals is assessed at threshold, target, and extraordinary levels.
 
Mr. Doane’s individual goals addressed succession planning actions in collaboration with the Board of Directors, expanding and enhancing investor relations, meeting or exceeding the Company’s Board-approved operating plan objectives, and updating and implementing longer-term growth objectives. The Committee and the Board assessed the CEO’s overall performance relative to the combined individual goals set for him at the beginning of the year. Mr. Doane’s overall accomplishments were determined by the Compensation Committee to be between the target and extraordinary levels.
 
Mr. Benjamin’s individual goals addressed company-wide internal controls, enhancing investor relations programs, updating and implementing the Company’s strategic plan, identifying and evaluating potential growth initiatives, evaluating energy production opportunities, and implementing corporate information technology initiatives. Mr. Benjamin’s overall accomplishments were determined to be between the target and extraordinary levels.
 
Mr. Andrasick’s individual goals addressed succession planning; growing Matson Integrated Logistics’s and Matson Global Distribution Services’s revenues and earnings through new products, services, and acquisitions; monitoring and coordinating governmental issues affecting Matson’s operations; executing Matson’s fleet replacement strategy and other growth initiatives; and successfully concluding negotiations on a number of Matson’s shoreside and offshore labor agreements.  Mr. Andrasick’s overall accomplishments were determined to be between the target and extraordinary levels.
 
For the majority of the year, Mr. Kuriyama’s individual goals were related to his former position of President and Chief Executive Officer of A&B Land Group and addressed achieving entitlements and sales for certain real estate projects, identifying and funding new project investments, increasing sugar production and evaluating energy development, and supervising the overall performance of key development projects.  Mr. Kuriyama was appointed President of A&B, effective October 1, 2008 at which time he assumed oversight of Matson’s ocean transportation operations, as well as additional corporate oversight of Government & Community Relations and Human Resources.  Due primarily to the continued shortfall in sugar production and the dramatic decline in real estate development activity, Mr. Kuriyama’s overall accomplishments were determined to be below the threshold level.
 
Mr. Cox’s individual goals addressed increasing the profitability of Matson’s Guam/China/Micronesia/Mid-Pacific services, increasing productivity and reducing costs of Matson’s Hawaii service, managing Hawaii service standards, executing Matson’s fleet replacement strategy, implementing other growth initiatives and implementing the information technology operating systems for Matson Integrated Logistics and Matson’s terminals in Honolulu.  Mr. Cox was appointed President of Matson, effective October 1, 2008 at which time he assumed overall responsibility for Matson’s ocean transportation operations.  Mr. Cox’s overall accomplishments were determined to be between the target and extraordinary levels.
 
Equity-Based Compensation:  The equity portion of the total compensation program is designed to:
 
·  
Align management and shareholder interests,
·  
Provide an incentive to increase shareholder value over the longer-term, and
·  
Provide a means to attract, motivate and retain, as well as reward, the management team responsible for the success of the Company.
 
The types of equity-based compensation provided to executives in 2008 and 2009 are nonqualified stock options, time-based restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units. Because a financial gain from stock options is only possible if the price of the Company’s stock has increased and because these stock options vest over an extended time period, the Compensation Committee believes these grants encourage behaviors and initiatives that focus on increasing A&B’s stock price over an extended time frame, which benefits all shareholders of A&B. Time-based restricted stock unit grants are intended to focus behaviors on long-term stock price improvement, share ownership and, through forfeiture conditions, strengthen retention of participants. Performance-based restricted stock unit grants are intended to focus behaviors on the same objectives as time-based restricted stock unit grants, as well as on achieving specific performance goals.
 
The Company’s long-term incentive award opportunities target the combination of salary, target annual incentives and long-term incentive award opportunities at the 60th percentile of the competitive survey data. However, for 2008, the Committee granted such awards at about the 55th percentile.  Equity-based grants are generally considered and granted annually in January by the Compensation Committee. Based on current market data provided by Watson Wyatt, the CEO makes recommendations for each executive officer (except himself) to the Compensation Committee, which retains full discretion to accept, reject or amend his recommendations. In determining the type and size of a grant to an executive officer, the Compensation Committee generally considers, among other things:
 
·  
Company and individual performance,
·  
The executive officer’s current and expected future contributions to the Company,
·  
Effect of a potential award on total compensation and philosophy,
·  
Internal equity relationships,
·  
Benchmark data,
·  
Economic environment, and
·  
Size of recent grants.
 
None of these factors are weighted.
 
The Compensation Committee, with the assistance of Watson Wyatt, reviews and determines the appropriate types and weights of equity grants each year. For January 2008 and 2009, the Compensation Committee made equity grants in a combination of stock options, time-based restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units. The mix of the value of these three components in 2008 was weighted one-third each. The Compensation Committee believes a mix of grants provides upside opportunity through the use of stock options, but balances that potential upside with the downside risks of an actual shareholder delivered through grants of restricted stock units, and ties a portion of equity compensation to achieving a specific performance goal through grants of performance-based restricted stock units. For 2009 grants the Committee revised the mix of the value of the three components, with 25 percent of the targeted long-term incentive value based on stock options, 37.5 percent of the value tied to time-based restricted stock units and 37.5 percent of the value tied to performance-based restricted stock units.  The Committee revised the mix to minimize the number of shares needed to make long-term incentive grants and limit shareholder dilution.  In determining the number of shares to be granted for the 2009 long-term incentive awards, the Committee used calculations provided by Watson Wyatt using a share price assumption that was higher than the stock price on the date of grant.  The difference in the actual stock price at grant and the stock price assumption used for determining the number of shares granted, resulted in a slightly different mix in value (approximately 20 percent stock options, 40 percent time-based restricted stock units, and 40 percent performance-based restricted stock units) and also resulted in lower award values than originally intended by the Committee by approximately 12 percent, with the exception of Mr. Andrasick, per the terms of his Executive Transition Agreement.  However, given the recent daily volatility of the stock market, the Committee agreed in advance that this was the most sensible approach. In addition, beginning with the 2009 award, the Compensation Committee increased the vesting period for performance-based restricted stock units from one-year vesting to vesting in equal increments over three years.  The Compensation Committee felt that the increased vesting period was in line with market practices, would strengthen alignment with shareholders and, through forfeiture conditions, strengthen retention of participants.
 
In 2009, given the unprecedented economic environment and the decrease in stock price compared to prior years, the Committee took into account various considerations when determining award amounts, including but not limited to, shares available for grant under the 2007 Plan, reduced cash incentive targets, base salary versus market competitive data, and survey data for long-term incentives at the 50th percentile.  The most current survey data available on long-term incentives was based on 2008 market data because the 2009 surveys had not been published at the time grants were made.  As marked differences were expected in the 2009 surveys, as indicated by data from various flash surveys published in the fourth quarter of 2008, the Committee did not rely as heavily on a percentile target as in past years but also took into account various other factors in making grant determinations.  At management’s recommendation, the Committee decided to grant at or below the 50th percentile of competitive practices as opposed to the 60th percentile target stated in its long-term incentive compensation philosophy, to reflect expected challenges to the Company’s financial performance.  However, the exact positioning was not known because, as previously stated, survey data had not been published reflecting current competitive granting practices given the economic downturn.  Other considerations taken into account included zero percent salary increases for the NEOs in 2009, reduction of cash incentive target opportunities for 2009, the current stock price, and the number of shares remaining under the 2007 Plan.  Consistent with prior years, Watson Wyatt provided a guideline range for equity grants for the Compensation Committee to consider in making the 2009 long-term incentive awards, representing the 25th, 50th, 60th, and 75th percentiles of competitive long-term incentive award values as determined through survey sources (Watson Wyatt and Towers Perrin – see The Role of Survey Benchmarking on page 18).  As noted earlier, the survey sources represented granting practices for 2008 and were the most current survey data sources available.  The Committee presumed that the current economic downturn would have a negative effect on 2009 survey data and took this into account when determining awards. 
 
Although the Company's compensation philosophy for long-term equity awards targets the 60th percentile, the actual awards as determined by the Committee on the basis of the factors listed above resulted in grants that were at the 45th percentile for Mr. Doane, 47th percentile for Mr. Benjamin, 57th percentile for Mr. Kuriyama, and 47th percentile for Mr. Cox, according to the 2008 survey data.  Mr. Andrasick’s 2009 award, made in accordance with the terms of his Executive Transition Agreement, resulted in grants at the 55th percentile.  Upon his retirement on August 31, 2009, Mr. Andrasick’s performance-based and time-based restricted stock unit components of his 2009 long-term incentive award will be subject to pro rata vesting under the terms of the 2007 Plan.  As a result, the realizable value of the 2009 award will be less than the nominal dollar value at grant.
 
For the 2008 performance-based restricted stock unit grants made in January 2008, three levels of performance goals were established based on achieving corporate profit before income tax goals, as described in the previous “Company and Business Unit Performance” section:  threshold, target and extraordinary. If the threshold level is not achieved, the grants are forfeited. Awards are prorated for performance between the threshold, target and extraordinary levels, as applicable.  In 2008, the Company’s performance was between threshold and target goals, as discussed in the previous “Company and Business Unit Performance” section, and resulted in executives earning 65 percent, or less than 100 percent, of their targeted performance-based shares.
 
Retirement Plans:  The Company provides various retirement plans to assist its executives and other employees with retirement income savings and increase the attractiveness of employment with the Company by providing a competitive retirement package. None of the qualified or nonqualified retirement plans are tied directly to Company performance, with the exception of the A&B Profit Sharing Plan as described below. 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 and Retirement Plan for Employees of Matson:  The A&B Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees and Retirement Plan for Employees of Matson (“Qualified Retirement Plans”), which are tax-qualified defined benefit pension plans, provide retirement benefits to the Company’s salaried non-bargaining unit employees. The Pension Benefits table of this Proxy Statement shows estimated present values of annual accrued retirement benefits of covered participants payable at age 62 (the earliest age at which benefits are unreduced), or current age, if older, under these plans.
 
In 2007, the Compensation Committee and management worked with Watson Wyatt to review the design of these plans and amended them to apply a “cash balance” formula for all salaried non-bargaining unit employees joining the Company after December 31, 2007. The decision to amend the plans was based on the need to provide a more attractive and portable plan to employees, improve asset management, mitigate financial risks, improve plan costs, increase employee responsibility in retirement planning and remove unintentional retention or early retirement incentives. The Company will maintain the current calculation formulas for employees hired prior to January 1, 2008, including all the NEOs.
 
Non-Qualified Benefits Plans:  The Company has the following non-qualified benefits plans for executives that are designed to meet the retirement plan objectives described above. With the exception of the A&B Excess Benefits Plan, no new participants have been added since 1997, and there are no plans to add any participants in the future.
 
·  
A&B Excess Benefits Plan. Complements the Qualified Retirement Plans and A&B Profit Sharing Retirement Plan to provide benefits and contributions in an amount equal to what otherwise would have been provided using the Qualified Retirement Plans’ formulas except for the contribution, compensation and benefits limits imposed by tax law.
 
·  
A&B Executive Survivor/Retirement Benefit Plan: Provides executives with either a death or retirement benefit. This plan has three active participants, only one of whom, the CEO, is an NEO. Participants may elect to elect to receive the benefit as a lump sum, instead of a payout of monthly installments over ten years.
 
·  
A&B 1985 Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan: Enhances the Company’s ability to hire and retain executives who, because of a career change, would have less than a full service career with the Company. This plan has three active participants, only one of whom, the CEO, is an NEO.
 
A&B Profit Sharing Retirement Plan and Individual Deferred Compensation Plan:  The Company has a performance-based Profit Sharing Retirement Plan available to all salaried non-bargaining unit employees that provides for discretionary contributions to participants of up to 3 percent of compensation based on the degree of achievement of income before taxes as established in the Company’s annual Board-approved operating plan.  In 2008, available contributions were set between one percent and three percent.  In 2009, given the challenging environment facing the Company, available contributions were set between zero and three percent.  The Company also has an Individual Deferred Compensation Plan (a 401(k) plan), available to all salaried non-bargaining unit employees, that generally provides for a match of up to three percent of the compensation deferred by a participant during the fiscal year.
 
For 2008, the Compensation Committee determined that all participants would receive 1.1 percent of their eligible compensation, based upon the Company’s between-threshold and target performance for its profit before income tax goal, in addition to matching contributions under the Company’s Individual Deferred Compensation Plan. The value of the Company’s 2008 profit sharing contribution and Individual Deferred Compensation matches for NEOs are included in the Summary Compensation Table of this Proxy Statement.
 
Employment Agreements:  Except as set forth below, the Company does not provide employment agreements for any of the NEOs. The Company believes in a policy of “at will” employment.
 
On August 28, 2008, as part of its executive succession planning and to provide for an orderly transition, Matson entered into an Executive Transition Agreement with Mr. Andrasick in which Mr. Andrasick, who was President and Chief Executive Officer of Matson, will serve as Matson’s Chairman of the Board from October 1, 2008 to August 31, 2009, at which time Mr. Andrasick will retire from the Company.  To recognize Mr. Andrasick for his past contributions to Matson and A&B, the Company determined that all elements of Mr. Andrasick’s compensation will remain the same, including an equity grant in 2009 at the same level of award as in 2008, with the number of options and shares to be determined by the methodology approved by the Compensation Committee and subject to the terms of the 2007 Plan.
 
Executive Perquisites and Benefits:  The Company provides limited perquisites as part of a competitive pay package for executives. An analysis in 2007 of these perquisites against the benchmark data shows the perquisites for each of the NEOs are below the 50th percentile. The aggregate cost for all five NEOs in 2008 was $81,435.  In 2009, the Company capped payments of club memberships at $250 per month.
 
Severance Plan and Change in Control Agreements: The Company provides a Severance Plan and Change in Control Agreements to certain executives, including each of the NEOs, to retain talent during transitions due to a Change in Control or other covered event and to provide a competitive pay package. In particular, Change in Control agreements promote the continuation of management to ensure a smooth transition and protect the underlying stock value during the transitional period. The Compensation Committee designed the original agreement terms with the intent to provide a competitively structured program, and yet be conservative overall in the size and 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 increases in the other pay components will affect the size of the potential payments under these arrangements, and how the terms and conditions of these arrangements and incentive plan designs interrelate.
 
In 2008, Watson Wyatt reviewed the Company’s Change in Control agreements to determine whether the terms of the agreements were consistent with competitive trends and Company philosophy.  As a result of this review, the Company revised the agreements to more closely reflect competitive market trends by setting payouts for stock options at the fair market value on the day of termination rather than at the highest price paid upon a change in control transaction, paying a multiple of target bonus, rather than the highest paid in the past five years, and further limiting the circumstances in which excise tax gross-ups may apply by replacing gross-ups with conditional gross-ups.  The Compensation Committee recognizes that this is an area of significant change and will continue to periodically review the agreements. These agreements are described in further detail in the Other Potential Post-Employment Payments section of this Proxy Statement.
 
Retiree Health and Medical Plan:  The Company provides NEOs with the same retiree medical and life insurance benefits as are provided in general to all salaried non-bargaining unit employees. These benefits aid in retaining and recognizing long-term service employees and provide for health care costs in retirement. The Company limits its contribution towards the monthly premium, based on the employee’s age and years of service. These benefits are not provided to employees who join the Company after December 31, 2007. The benefits from this plan are reflected in the Other Potential Post-Employment Payments section of this Proxy Statement.
 
The Role of Survey Benchmarking
 
The Company uses published survey data as a benchmarking tool, but does not benchmark against specific companies within such surveys.  The Company operates in a number of different industries and therefore does not have a direct peer or comparative group. Accordingly, the Company does not use data that is specific to any individual segment of the Company’s business but instead, based on the recommendation of Watson Wyatt, it uses data from five national and highly recognized published surveys representing a broad group of general industry companies similar in size to the Company to assess the Company’s pay practices.  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, economic environment and individual performance are also reviewed.
 
The surveys used by Watson Wyatt in their base salary, target total cash analysis  and comparison of CEO pay to other NEOs include: Watson Wyatt 2008/2009 Top Management Compensation Survey, Hay General Market 2008 Executive Compensation Survey, 2008 Mercer U.S. Benchmark Database - Executive Compensation Survey, and the Towers Perrin U.S. CDB General Industry Executive Database 2008 Descriptive Statistics. These surveys represent between 300 to 2,400 companies, depending on the survey source. Watson Wyatt uses data subsets in each survey that represent companies of similar size with revenues between $500 million and $2.5 billion. These data subsets provide compensation information for 40 to 200 companies, depending on the survey. The Company believes that the number of surveys used for benchmarking and the size of the survey samples are meaningful and provide appropriate pay comparisons. Benchmarking is just one factor used in setting executive compensation.
 
Because of differences in the methodologies, timing of the release of survey results, cost of surveys and the type of data covered, each of the five nationally published surveys may not be used for benchmarking all pay components.  For salary and annual cash incentives, Watson Wyatt 2008/2009 Top Management Compensation Survey, Hay General Market 2008 Executive Compensation Survey, 2008 Mercer U.S. Benchmark Database - Executive Compensation Survey, and the Towers Perrin U.S. CDB General Industry Executive Database 2008 Descriptive Statistics were used. For target long-term incentives and internal equity comparisons, two surveys (Watson Wyatt 2008/2009 Database of Long-term Incentives, Policies and Practices and the Towers Perrin survey listed above) were used because they provided the most current information at the time the analysis was conducted. For health and retirement benefits and executive perquisites, the Company has used Watson Wyatt’s survey databases and proprietary analytical tools. Watson Wyatt benefits database maintains benefits plan information on salaried employees for over 1,300 employers, representing a broad cross section of industry, geographic location and size. Because of the proprietary nature of the Watson Wyatt 2008/2009 Database of Long-term Incentives, Policies and Practices and its inclusion of privately-held companies, a list of the comparator companies in that survey was not made available to the Company or the Compensation Committee and, as a result, cannot be disclosed.  The names of the companies comprising the other four surveys are included in Appendix A.
 
The Role of the Compensation Consultant
 
In 2008, the Compensation Committee retained Watson Wyatt to assist the Committee in:
 
·  
Evaluating salary and incentive compensation levels,
·  
Preparing a summary of the value of all compensation elements provided to executives during the year, and
·  
Reviewing change-in-control agreements.
 
The Role of Management
 
Management assists the Compensation Committee in its role of determining executive compensation in a number of ways, including:
 
·  
Attending portions of the Compensation Committee meetings, and meeting periodically with the Committee Chair to discuss executive compensation,
·  
Providing management’s perspective on compensation plan structure and implementation,
·  
Identifying appropriate performance measures and establishing individual performance goals that are consistent with the Board-approved operating plans and the Company’s strategic plan,
·  
Providing the data used to measure performance against established goals, with the CEO providing perspective on individual executive performance and compensation amounts (other than his own),
·  
Providing recommendations, based on information provided by Watson Wyatt, regarding pay levels for officers (other than the CEO) on the basis of plan formulas, salary structures and the CEO’s assessment of individual officer performance and
·  
Assisting in preparing agendas and information for Committee meetings.
 
Tax and Accounting Considerations
 
In evaluating the compensation structure, the Compensation Committee considers tax and accounting treatment, balancing the effects on the individual and on the Company. Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code limits the tax deductibility of certain executive compensation in excess of $1,000,000 for any fiscal year, except for certain “performance-based compensation.”  The Compensation Committee will not necessarily limit executive compensation to that amount, but will consider it as one factor in its decision-making. The A&B 1998 Stock Option/Stock Incentive Plan (the “1998 Plan”) is not Section 162(m)-compliant except as it applies to the granting of options; however, the 2007 Plan has been structured to qualify for tax deductibility under Section 162(m), if certain conditions are met.
 
Stock Ownership Guidelines
 
The Company has had guidelines in place since 1994 to encourage stock ownership among its executives to be achieved within a five-year period. The current ownership goals reflected below were determined by the Committee to provide a vested interest in the Company and ensure commitment to longer-term decision-making among senior officers. Executives are required to own a value of stock of 3.5 times to 5 times (as set forth below) the amount of the covered executive’s current salary.
 
Position
Salary Multiple
CEO
5X
Other NEOs
3.5X
 
Four of the five NEOs have met, and for the most part significantly exceeded, the ownership guidelines. The remaining executive, who has been in his current position for less than five years, is on track to meet the guidelines within the five-year period.
 
Equity Granting Policy
 
The Company does not have any practice, policy or program allowing for timing of equity grants in relation to the Company’s current stock price or material non-public information. Equity awards are normally granted for current employees at the same time of year at the January Compensation Committee meeting, which generally is held on the fourth Wednesday of the month. Equity grants for new hires or promoted employees are established and approved at regularly scheduled Compensation Committee meetings. Neither the CEO nor any other executive has the discretion to set any grant dates of awards.
 
The strike price for stock option grants under the 2007 Plan was set in accordance with the terms and conditions of the 2007 Plan, and established the price as the closing price on the date of grant. The terms and conditions of each grant are determined by the Compensation Committee at the time of the grant approval, in accordance with the relevant plan.  A&B’s  policies prohibit executive officers from using short selling techniques to hedge against the potential changes in the value of A&B stock.
 
Summary Compensation Table. The following table summarizes the cash and non-cash compensation paid by A&B for services rendered during 2006, 2007 and 2008 by A&B’s CEO, CFO and the three other most highly compensated executive officers.

(1)
Amounts reflected in this section relate to estimated payouts under the PIIP. The value of the actual payouts is included in column (g) of the Summary Compensation Table.
(2)
Amounts in this section reflect performance-based restricted stock grants.
(3)
Amounts in this section reflect time-based restricted stock grants and the matching grants of shares issued in connection with the 2007 PIIP (granted on 1/30/08) under the Restricted Stock Bonus Program.
(4)
Based upon the closing price of A&B common stock on the date of grant.
 
 
The PIIP is based on corporate, business unit, and individual goals depending on the executive’s position and job responsibilities. Performance measures, weighting of goals and target opportunities are discussed in the CD&A section of this Proxy Statement. The Company also has an Annual Incentive Plan that provides performance-based incentives to key employees who are not eligible to participate in the PIIP.
 
Under both the 1998 Plan and the 2007 Plan, the Company has issued stock options that vest in equal increments over three years and have a maximum term of 10 years. They continue to vest and are exercisable for three years after disability, normal retirement at 65 or approved early retirement at 55 (with five years of service). Vesting automatically accelerates in the event of death and the executive’s personal representative has up to 12 months to exercise the stock options. Stock options automatically vest either (1) immediately prior to the specified effective date of a Change in Control and remain exercisable up to the consummation of the event unless assumed by the successor corporation under the 1998 Plan or (2) on the specified effective date of a Change in Control if the participant is involuntarily terminated or awards are not assumed or replaced by the successor company.  Under both plans, if an employee is terminated due to misconduct, providing services to another organization that may be considered competitive with the Company’s business operations or engages in other conduct considered materially detrimental to the business, then the option terminates immediately.  Under the 1998 Plan, if an employee who has been designated a Section 16 officer (which includes all NEOs) ceases to be employed for any other reason the option may be exercised within six months of termination to the degree vested at the time of termination. Under the 2007 Plan, if an employee ceases to be employed for any other reason the option may be exercised within three months of termination to the degree vested at the time of termination. Stock options cannot be repriced under either Plan without shareholder approval.
 
Under both the 1998 Plan and the 2007 Plan, the Company has issued time-based restricted stock grants (or restricted stock units) that vest in equal increments over three years. Under the 1998 Plan, time-based restricted stock grants that are unvested will automatically vest upon death, permanent disability, normal retirement at 65 or approved early retirement at 55 (with five years of service). Upon the effective date of any change in control, any unvested restricted shares automatically vest. Under the 2007 Plan, time-based restricted stock unit grants that are unvested will automatically vest upon death or permanent disability. Time-based restricted stock units will partially vest on a prorated basis upon normal retirement at 65 or approved early retirement at 55 (with five years of service). Under the 2007 Plan, upon the effective date of any change in control, any unvested restricted share units automatically vest if the participant is involuntarily terminated or awards are not assumed or replaced by the successor company.
 
From 2006 through 2008, under both the 1998 Plan and the 2007 Plan, the Company has issued performance-based restricted stock grants (or restricted stock units) that vest at the end of one year and the number of shares that vest is determined on the basis of achieving pre-established corporate profit before income tax goals set at target, threshold and extraordinary performance goal levels. Grants made in January 2008 included a new ROIC measure weighted 35 percent, with pretax income goals weighted 65 percent. The Committee added the ROIC measure to focus on efficient use of capital.  Actual performance at the target level results in earning 100 percent of the target award shares (or units). Actual performance at the threshold level results in earning 50 percent of the target award shares (or units). Actual performance below the threshold level results in no awards earned. Actual performance at the extraordinary level results in earning the maximum number of shares (or units) equal to 200 percent of the target number of shares (or units). For actual performance between threshold, target and extraordinary, awards are determined on a prorated basis between these anchor points on a straight line-basis. If participants receiving a performance-based restricted stock grant terminate employment for any reason other than death, permanent disability, normal retirement or approved early retirement, they will not receive a payout. If a participant terminates due to death, permanent disability, normal retirement or approved early retirement, his or her award will be prorated on the basis of the number of full or partial months employed and the amount paid at the end of the performance period. Under the 2007 Plan, if there is a change in control, any unvested performance-based restricted share units automatically vest if the participant is involuntarily terminated or awards are not assumed or replaced by the successor company. Grants of performance-based restricted stock units granted under the 2007 Plan made in January 2009 will continue to have a one-year performance period but will vest in equal increments over three years.
 
Under both the 1998 Plan and 2007 Plan, grantees receive dividends on the full amount of restricted stock (or restricted stock units) granted, regardless of vesting, at the same rate as is payable on the Company’s common stock.

Years of credited benefit service used to determine annual accrued pension benefit is 25 years minus the number of years between date of determination and member’s normal retirement date.
 
Actuarial assumptions used to determine the present values of the retirement benefits include:  Discount rates for qualified and non-qualified retirement plans of 6.25 percent and 6.00 percent, respectively. 2009 Applicable Mortality Table and PPA 3-segment lump sum interest rates (with applicable transition weightings and 38.5 percent marginal tax rate adjustment) of 3.02 percent (for first 5 years), 3.38 percent (next 15 years) and 3.27 percent (years in excess of 20) for participants age 62 and over in 2009, used for the A&B Excess Benefits Plan and A&B 1985 Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. Different applicable transition weightings (based on year of attainment of age 62) applied to 3-segment interest rates for other participants. Age 62 (or current age, if greater) is the assumed retirement age. Qualified benefits are assumed to be paid on a life annuity basis. The A&B Excess Benefits Plan benefits are paid as a lump sum equal to the present value of the benefit assumed to be paid on a life annuity basis. A&B 1985 Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan benefits are paid as a lump sum equal to the present value of the benefit assumed to be paid on an unreduced 50 percent joint and survivor annuity basis, assuming a hypothetical spouse three years younger. The A&B Executive Survivor/Retirement Plan benefits are assumed to be paid as a guaranteed 10-year annuity unless an election has been made to receive a lump sum equal to the present value of a guaranteed 10-year annuity.
 
A&B Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees:  The A&B Retirement Plan provides retirement benefits to the Company’s salaried employees who are not subject to collective bargaining agreements. Retirement benefits are based on participants’ average monthly compensation in the five highest consecutive years of their final 10 years of service. Compensation includes base salary, overtime pay and one-year bonuses. The amounts are based on an ordinary straight life annuity payable at normal retirement age. An employee vests after five years of service with the Company. The normal retirement age is 65. An employee may take early retirement at age 55 or older, if the employee has already completed at least five years of service with 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 over a longer period of time. A substantially similar plan, the Retirement Plan for Employees of Matson, provides retirement benefits to the employees of Matson. Messrs. Doane, Andrasick and Kuriyama are eligible for early retirement.
 
A&B Excess Benefits Plan:  The Excess Benefits Plan was adopted to help the Company meet its objectives for retirement plans, including assisting employees with retirement income planning, increasing the attractiveness of employment with the Company and attracting mid-career executives. The Excess Benefits Plan works together with the Qualified Retirement Plans and A&B Profit Sharing Retirement Plan to provide Company benefits and contributions in an amount equal to what otherwise would have been provided using the Qualified Retirement Plans’ formulas except for the contribution, compensation and benefits limits imposed by tax law. Under the A&B Profit Sharing Retirement Plan, amounts are credited to executives’ accounts, to be payable after the executive’s separation from service. Executives may elect to convert cash payments in their accounts to common stock-equivalent units. Benefits based on the Qualified Retirement Plan are also payable after the executive’s separation from service. Payment will be made six months following separation from service to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code.  Executives joining the Company after December 31, 2007 do not qualify to participate in the A&B Excess Benefits Plan.
 
A&B 1985 Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan:  The A&B 1985 Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan was adopted to enhance the Company’s ability to hire and retain executives who, because of a career change, would have less than a full service career with the Company. At normal retirement, the award is calculated as if the participant had 25 years of service at normal retirement reduced by benefits payable under the Qualified Retirement Plan, the A&B Excess Benefits Plan and the benefit equivalent which the Participant is eligible to receive or has received under the pension plan of another employer. The benefit is payable under the plan in a single lump sum at the time benefits are payable under the Qualified Retirement Plan. Payment will be made six months following separation from service to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code.
 
A&B Executive Survivor/Retirement Benefit Plan:  The Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan was adopted to provide selected executives with supplemental pre-retirement death benefits. The Executive Survivor Plan provides for a pre-retirement death benefit equal to 50 percent of final base compensation payable for 10 years and, at such person’s election upon retirement, either (i) a continuation of such death benefit or (ii) a retirement income benefit equal to 26 percent of final base compensation payable for 10 years. The executive can elect to receive the benefit in a lump sum.  Payment will be made six months following separation from service to the extent required by the Internal Revenue Code.

Contributions reflect amounts paid in 2008 based on 2007 deferrals. These amounts are reported in the Summary Compensation Table as 2007 compensation.
(2)  
Includes the change in value of common stock equivalent units.
 
Executives that formerly received awards under the Three-Year Performance Improvement Incentive Plan (“Three-Year PIIP”) were able to defer up to 100 percent of their PIIP or Three-Year PIIP award payouts to a future date in the form of cash and/or stock equivalent units. Any cash amounts that were deferred are credited with annually compounded interest equal to the New York Reserve Bank discount rate effective as of January 15 of each year within the deferral period plus 1 percent. Stock equivalent units are credited with dividends and are reinvested to purchase additional common stock equivalents valued at fair market value until such time as the deferral account is paid. Cash payments under the plan are made in a single lump sum or in installments at the election of the participant over a designated period. No awards were made under the Three-Year PIIP in 2008 or 2009, and the Compensation Committee does not plan to grant any cash awards under the Three-Year PIIP in the near-term.
 
Other Potential Post-Employment Payments.
 
Change in Control Agreements:  As described in the CD&A section of this Proxy Statement, A&B has Change in Control Agreements with the five NEOs in order 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. The Company has adopted a participation policy that extends Agreements to only senior level executives whose employment would be most likely at risk upon a Change in Control. Each Change in Control Agreement has an initial one-year term and is automatically extended at the end of each term for a successive one-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” following a “Change in Control Event” of A&B, as defined by Internal Revenue Code Section 409A. Upon termination of employment, the executive will be entitled to receive a lump-sum severance payment equal to two times the sum of the executive’s base salary and bonus, plus certain awards and amounts under various A&B incentive and deferred compensation plans, and an amount equal to the spread between the exercise price of outstanding options held by the executive and the fair market value at the time of termination. In addition, A&B will maintain all (or provide similar) employee benefit plans for the executive’s continued benefit for a period of two years after termination. A&B will also reimburse executives for individual outplacement counseling services. Under certain limited circumstances, the Agreements provide for a conditional tax gross-up payment to offset any excise taxes that may become payable under Sections 280G and 4999 of the tax code, if the executive’s employment is terminated without cause or for good reason following a change in control of A&B; currently, four of the five NEOs would not receive any tax gross-up payments following a change in control event.
 
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. A “potential change in control of the Company” is deemed to occur if the Company enters into a change in control agreement, any person publicly announces an intention to take actions leading to the change in control of the Company, any person becomes the beneficial owner of 20 percent or more of the voting power of the Company, or the Board adopts a resolution that a potential change in control has occurred.
 
Executive Severance Plan:  The Company also has an Executive Severance Plan (“Severance Plan”) that covers certain designated executives, including the NEOs. The purpose of the Severance Plan is to retain key employees and to encourage such employees to use their best business judgment in managing the Company’s affairs. 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” or laid off from employment as part of a job elimination/restructuring or reduction in force. Upon such termination of employment, the executive will be entitled to receive an amount equal to six months’ base salary, payable in equal installments over a period of one year, and designated benefits. If the executive executes an acceptable release agreement, the executive shall receive additional benefits, including an additional six months of base salary and designated benefits, reimbursement for outplacement counseling services and a prorated share of incentive plan awards at target levels that would have been payable to the executive had he or she remained employed until the end of the applicable performance period. Payments under the Severance Plan begin six months after termination for executive officers.
 
Voluntary Resignation: If the executive voluntarily resigns from the Company, no amounts are payable under the PIIP. The executive may be entitled to receive retirement and retiree health and medical benefits to the extent those benefits have been earned or vested under the provisions of the plans. The executive may have up to three to six months after termination to exercise stock options to the degree vested at the time of termination. In addition, the executive would be entitled to any amounts voluntarily deferred (and the earnings accrued) under the Deferred Compensation Plan, Individual Deferred Compensation Plan and the Profit Sharing Retirement Plan. The executive would forfeit the bonus under the Restricted Stock Bonus Plan and the original deferred shares may be repurchased by the Company at the lower of the then fair market value of the shares or the amount of the award applied to the acquisition of the restricted shares.
 
Other benefits, as described in the CD&A section of this Proxy Statement, may include participation in the A&B Retirement Plan, the A&B Executive Survivor/Retirement Benefit Plan, the A&B Excess Benefits Plan, and the A&B 1985 Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan.

(1)  
Assumes execution of an acceptable release agreement as provided by the Executive Severance Plan.
 
(2)  
An executive may retire at age 62 with unreduced retirement benefits under qualified retirement plans.
 
(3)  
If an NEO is disabled, he will continue to accrue pension benefits as long as he 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 and credited benefit service will cease. Upon the later of attainment of age 65 or the date at which he is no longer eligible for disability benefits, the NEO will be entitled to receive a retirement benefit based on (a) his years of credited benefit service including the period while he had been receiving disability benefits and (b) his compensation determined as if he continued to receive his rate of pay in effect just prior to his becoming disabled for the period he was receiving disability benefits.
 
(4)  
Employees may elect “Early Retirement” upon attaining 55 years of age, with five years of service or more.
 
(5)  
Retirement Benefits figures are incremental to the values shown in the Pension Benefits Table, which uses a different set of assumptions as described in the related narrative.
 
(6)  
Present value of amount paid as an annuity.
 
(7)  
The Retirement Benefits figures are incremental to the values shown in the Pension Benefits Table. Under certain termination scenarios, benefits reflected in the Pension Benefits Table under the various retirement plans are forfeited, resulting in a negative value.
 
(8)  
Includes the gain on accelerated stock options and the value of accelerated restricted stock.
 
(9)  
An NEO receives continued three-year vesting of stock options; see Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End table in this Proxy Statement for vested and unvested equity awards.
 
All amounts shown are lump-sum payments, unless otherwise noted. Assumptions used in the tables above include: Discount rates for qualified and non-qualified retirement plans of 6.25 percent and 6.0 percent, respectively; PPA 3-segment lump sum interest rates (with applicable transition weightings and 38.5 percent marginal tax rate adjustment) of 3.02 percent (for first 5 years), 3.38 percent (next 15 years) and 3.27 percent (years in excess of 20) used for A&B Excess Benefits Plan and A&B 1985 Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan retirement/termination lump sums; PPA 3-segment lump sum interest rates of 4.91 percent (for first 5 years), 5.5 percent (for next 15 years), 5.31 percent (for years in excess of 20) for A&B Executive Survivor/Retirement Benefit Plan retirement/termination lump sums; PPA 3-segment lump sum interest rates (with applicable transition weightings and 39 percent marginal tax rate adjustment) of 2.81 percent (for first 5 years), 2.94 percent (next 15 years) and 3.00 percent (years in excess of 20) used for change in control lump sums under A&B Excess Benefits Plan and A&B 1985 Supplemental Retirement Benefit Plan; PPA 3-segment lump sum interest rates of 4.60 percent (for first 5 years), 4.82 percent (next 15 years) and 4.91 percent (years in excess of 20) used for change in control lump sums under Executive Survivor/Retirement Benefit Plan; certain mortality assumptions; and a stock price of $25.06.

Compensation Committee Report
 
The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the CD&A section of this Proxy Statement with management and, based on these discussions and review, it has recommended to the Board of Directors that the CD&A disclosure be included in this Proxy Statement.
 
The foregoing report is submitted by Mr. King (Chairman), Dr. Chun, Ms. Shaw and Mr. Watanabe.
 
AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT
 
The Audit Committee provides assistance to the Board of Directors in fulfilling its obligations with respect to matters involving the accounting, auditing, financial reporting, internal control and legal compliance functions of A&B, including the review and approval of all related person transactions required to be disclosed in this Proxy Statement. Among other things, the Audit Committee reviews and discusses with management and Deloitte & Touche LLP, A&B’s independent registered public accounting firm, the results of the year-end audit of A&B, including the auditors’ report and audited financial statements. In this context, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed A&B’s audited financial statements with management, has discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended, and, with and without management present, has discussed and reviewed the results of the independent registered public accounting firm’s audit of the financial statements.
 
The Audit Committee has received the written communication regarding independence from Deloitte & Touche LLP required under the rules of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, and has discussed with Deloitte & Touche LLP its independence from A&B. The Audit Committee has determined that the provision of non-audit services rendered by Deloitte & Touche LLP to A&B is compatible with maintaining the independence of Deloitte & Touche LLP from A&B in the conduct of its auditing function.
 
In compliance with applicable SEC rules, the Audit Committee has adopted policies and procedures for Audit Committee approval of audit and non-audit services. Under such policies and procedures, the Audit Committee pre-approves or has delegated to the Chairman of the Audit Committee authority to pre-approve all audit and non-prohibited, non-audit services performed by the independent registered public accounting firm in order to assure that such services do not impair the auditor’s independence. Any additional proposed services or costs exceeding pre-approved cost levels require additional pre-approval as described above. The Audit Committee may delegate pre-approval authority to one or more of its members for services not to exceed a specific dollar amount per engagement. Requests for pre-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.
 
Based on the review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that A&B’s audited consolidated financial statements be included in A&B’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 for filing with the SEC. The Audit Committee also has appointed, subject to shareholder ratification, Deloitte & Touche LLP as A&B’s independent registered public accounting firm.
 
The foregoing report is submitted by Mr. Pasquale (Chairman), Messrs. Baird and Dods, and Ms. Lau.
 
RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors 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. Deloitte & Touche LLP and its predecessors have served A&B as such since 1957. 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.

The Board of Directors of A&B knows of no other business to be presented for shareholder action at the Annual Meeting. However, should matters other than those included in this Proxy Statement properly come before the Annual Meeting, the proxyholders named in the accompanying proxy will use their best judgment in voting upon them.
 
SHAREHOLDER PROPOSALS FOR 2010
 
Proposals of shareholders intended to be presented pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act at the Annual Meeting of A&B in the year 2010 must be received at the headquarters of A&B on or before November 12, 2009 in order to be considered for inclusion in the year 2010 Proxy Statement and proxy. In order for proposals of shareholders made outside of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act to be considered “timely” within the meaning of Rule 14a-4(c) under the Exchange Act, such proposals must be received at the headquarters of A&B not later than December 31, 2009. A&B’s Bylaws require that proposals of shareholders made outside of Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act must be submitted, in accordance with the requirements of the Bylaws, not later than December 31, 2009 and not earlier than December 1, 2009.
