FIRST HAWAIIAN, INC.

 

SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN PART B

 

INTRODUCTION

 

The First Hawaiian, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) is an unfunded deferred compensation arrangement solely for a select group of management or highly compensated employees of First Hawaiian, Inc. (“Company”) and its affiliates.  The SERP consists of two parts, the First Hawaiian, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan Part A (“Part A”) and the First Hawaiian, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan Part B (“Part B”).  Part A is a standalone plan which governs Pre-2005 Benefits, as defined in Part A.  Part B is a standalone plan which governs Post-2004 Benefits, as defined in Part B.

 

The Company intends that Part A of the SERP not be subject to the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”) and that Part B be subject to such requirements.  Each reference in the SERP to Code Section 409A is also a reference to official guidance and regulations issued with respect to Code Section 409A.  In the event of any inconsistency between the SERP and Code Section 409A, the provisions of the SERP shall be applied in a manner consistent with the applicable requirements of Code Section 409A.

 

Part A and Part B were restated in 2008, effective January 1, 2005, as the BancWest Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan Part A and BancWest Corporation Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan Part B.  At that time, the Company was a subsidiary of BNP Paribas, was itself the parent of both First Hawaiian

 

1


 

 

 

Bank and Bank of the West, and was known as BancWest Corporation.  On March 31, 2016, resolutions of the Board of Directors of BancWest Corporation were adopted, authorizing the separation of the benefit programs of First Hawaiian Bank from those of Bank of the West.  Effective April 1, 2016, the Company was renamed First Hawaiian, Inc.  Bank of the West ceased to be a subsidiary of the Company and the Plan was closed to new participants.  On August 4, 2016, an initial public offering of the stock of the Company was made, the intent of which was that the Company would cease to be a subsidiary of BNP Paribas and affiliate of Bank of the West.

 

In 2016, Part A and Part B of the SERP were restated to reflect the above described corporate transactions (the “2016 Restatement”).  On March 11, 2019, resolutions of the Board of Directors of the Company were adopted, authorizing the freeze of the SERP and to provide that no new participants will be designated thereunder (this “2019 Restatement”).  Except with respect to the exclusion of benefit liabilities arising from the service of Bank of the West employees, a change in performance based compensation plans taken into account under Part B on and after January 1, 2017, and the freeze of the SERP and provision that no new participants will be designated thereunder effective July 1, 2019, neither the 2016 Restatement nor the 2019 Restatement are intended to, do not, and shall not be interpreted to modify the substantive terms of Parts A and B of the SERP, as the same were last restated.  The 2016 Restatement was effective April 1, 2016.  The Plan was frozen effective as of July 1, 2019 such that there were no new accruals of benefits after such date for any Participant in the Plan.

 

As used in this instrument, “Plan” means this restatement of Part B of the SERP.

DEFINITIONS

 

As used herein the following terms shall have the following meanings unless the context clearly requires otherwise.

 

1.1      "Actuarial Equivalent" means equivalence in value between two or more forms and/or times of payment based on the following assumptions:

(ii)       For the purpose of converting required offsets to the Target Retirement Amount under Section 5.1(a) that relate to a cash balance arrangement, the factors that shall be used are the mortality table determined in accordance with Code Section 417(e)(3) that is applicable as of the distribution date and the applicable interest rate determined in accordance with Code Section 417(e)(3) for the September immediately prior to the Plan Year in which the distribution occurs.

 

(b)       Converting Value Of A Supplemental Retirement Benefit To A Lump Sum.  For the purpose of converting the value of a Participant’s Supplemental Retirement Benefit payable as a single-life annuity to a lump sum, the Code Section 417(e)(3) mortality table and the interest rate used for FAS 87 net periodic cost for the year of determination shall be used.

 

(c)       Converting Value of Supplemental Retirement Benefit Payable As Single Life Annuity To Other Forms of Benefit. The actuarial assumptions that would be used with respect to a Participant under the Retirement Plan to convert the value of a single life annuity to another form of benefit (except for a lump sum) shall be used for the purpose of converting a single life annuity under the Plan to another form of Plan benefit (except for a lump sum).

Section 5.5 Special Benefits for Exhibit II Participants

 

Effective as of November 1, 2002, each Participant listed on Exhibit II shall be deemed 100% vested in his or her Supplemental Retirement Benefit, and shall be granted three extra years of Credited Service for the purpose of determining his or her Supplemental Retirement Benefits.  The Supplemental Retirement Benefit of each such Participant  who has a Termination Of Employment on or before December 31, 2004 shall be determined using the greater of the Participant’s (i) Compensation for the 12‑month period immediately prior to such Termination Of Employment or (ii) Final Average Compensation.  The Supplemental Retirement Benefit of each Participant listed on Exhibit II who has a Termination Of Employment on or after January 1, 2005 shall be determined using such Participant’s highest 12 consecutive months of Compensation, which shall not include more than one IPKE or Bonus Plan bonus (or other annual short-term bonus if not a participant in IPKE) during the last 60 calendar

 

21


 

 

months of his or her employment ending prior to July 1, 2019.  The Supplemental Retirement Benefit of each Participant listed on Exhibit II shall be calculated pursuant to Section 5.3 as if the Participant was retired with the approval of the Committee.

Except as otherwise provided in this Section 5.7, if a vested Participant dies prior to commencement of benefit payments under this Plan, the Participating Employer shall pay a supplemental survivor benefit to the Participant's surviving spouse.  The amount of this supplemental survivor benefit shall be equal to one-half of the monthly accrued Supplemental Retirement Benefit the Participant would have been entitled to if he or she had a Termination Of Employment as of the date of his or her death and had elected a 50% survivor annuity option.  The supplemental survivor benefit shall be payable monthly for the life of the spouse.  No benefits will be paid under this Section 5.7 to the extent that an agreement between the Participant and the Company (or a Participating Employer) provides that the Participant’s surviving spouse shall not be entitled to such benefits.

(b)              Divestiture.  The date of distribution of all or a portion of the value of a Participant’s Plan Benefits may be accelerated to the extent necessary for an employee in the executive branch of the United States federal government to comply with an ethics agreement or to the extent reasonably necessary to avoid the violation of an applicable federal, state, local or foreign ethics law or conflicts of interest law.

 

(c)              Financial Hardship.  Distribution of all or a portion of a Participant’s Plan Benefits may be made as a result of a Financial Hardship.  Such amount must be limited to the amount reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need (which may include amounts necessary to pay any federal, state, local, or foreign income taxes or penalties reasonably anticipated to result from the distribution).  Determinations of amounts reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need must take into account any additional compensation that is available under another employee benefit plan that provides for cancellation of  a deferral election upon a payment due to an unforeseeable emergency.  However, the determination of amounts reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need is not required to take into account any additional compensation that due to the unforeseeable emergency is available under another nonqualified deferred compensation plan but has not actually been paid.

 

(d)              Other.  Distribution of all or a portion of the value of a Participant’s Plan Benefits may be accelerated under such circumstances as are permitted pursuant to applicable guidance under Code Section 409A.

 

Section 8.7 Delayed Distribution

 

In the Committee’s discretion, the distribution of all or a portion of the Participant’s Plan Benefits may be delayed beyond the date otherwise required under the Plan in the following circumstances, subject to the requirements of applicable regulations under Code Section 409A:

 

(a)              Violation of Applicable Laws.  Distribution of all or a portion of the Plan Benefits of a Participant may be delayed in the event the Committee reasonably

31


 

 

anticipates that the distribution will violate federal securities laws or other applicable law.  Distribution of any amount delayed under this Section 8.7(a) will be made at the earliest date at which the Committee reasonably anticipates that making the payment will not cause a violation of such law.

 

(b)              Administrative Impracticality.  Distribution of all or a portion of the Participant’s Plan Benefits may be delayed if calculation of the amount of the payment is not administratively practicable (such delay must be due to events that are beyond the control of the Participant).  Payment of any delayed amount must be made no later than the first Plan Year in which calculation of such amount is administratively practicable.

 

(c)              Other.  Distribution of all or a portion of a Participant’s Plan Benefits may be delayed under such other circumstances as are permitted pursuant to applicable guidance under Code Section 409A.

 

Section 8.8  Distribution Of Plan Benefits Under Sections 4.1(c), 5.6, 5.7 or 6.1.

 

(a)              Distribution Under Sections 4.1(c) or 5.7.  Distribution of benefits described in Sections 4.1(c) or 5.7 shall be made commencing as soon as administratively practicable, but no later than the end of the 90-day period (on a date determined in the discretion of the Plan Administrator) following the date of the Participant’s death.

 

(b)              Distribution Under Section 5.6. Distribution of Plan Benefits described in Section 5.6 shall be made commencing as soon as administratively practicable, but no later than the end of the 90-day period (on a date determined in the discretion of the Plan Administrator) following the Participant’s Normal Retirement Date: (i) as a single Life Annuity, if the Participant is unmarried on such date; or (ii) as a 50% Joint-and-Survivor Annuity (as described in the last paragraph of Section 8.1), if the Participant is married on such date.

 

(c)              Distribution Under Section 6.1.  Distribution of benefits described in Section 6.1 shall be made as follows, subject to the requirements of Section 8.5:

 

(i)        A makeup amount related to additional taxes that are paid by a Participant will be distributed no later than the end of the Plan Year following the

32


 

 

 

Plan Year in which the Participant pays such taxes (on a date determined in the discretion of the Plan Administrator)

 

(ii)       A distribution of an amount that is substituted for a benefit under another employee benefit plan as a result of a limitation under Code Section 280G will be distributed at the time it would have been paid under such other employee benefit plan.

 

Section 8.9 Limited Period To Elect New Form Or Time Of Payment Of Plan Benefits

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan, an individual who is designated as a Participant before January 1, 2009 (and who has not received a distribution of any Plan Benefits under Section 4.1 before such date) may elect (to the extent permitted under applicable Treasury Regulations or other Internal Revenue Service or Treasury Department guidance) a new date or form of distribution of his or her Plan Benefits by submitting a written election to the Plan Administrator (in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Plan Administrator) no later than the date permitted by the Plan Administrator.  Such election shall not be treated as a change in the form or timing of payment of a Participant’s Plan Benefits for purposes of Code Section 409A and Section 8.3 of the Plan.

 

Section 8.10 Tax Withholding.

 

The Company shall withhold, from any amount distributed under the Plan, any taxes required to be withheld from such amount under local, state or federal law.  In addition, the Company shall withhold any payroll taxes with respect to a Participant’s Plan Benefits at the time and in the amount required to be withheld under applicable local, state or federal law.

 

Section 8.11 Code Section 409A.

 

Notwithstanding any provision of the Plan to the contrary, no distributions will be made under the Plan earlier or later than permitted under the requirements of Code Section 409A and no elections regarding Plan Benefits shall be permitted, unless they are permissible under such requirements.  This Plan is intended to comply with the applicable requirements of Code Section 409A and shall be interpreted and administered in a manner that is consistent with such intent.

ARTICLE X

CLAIMS PROCEDURE.

 

Section 10.1 Claims For Benefits And Inquiries

 

All claims for benefits and all inquiries concerning the Plan, or concerning present or future rights to benefits under the Plan, shall be submitted to the Plan Administrator in writing.  If required by the Plan Administrator, an application for benefits must be made on a form prescribed by the Plan Administrator.  The Participant or Beneficiary may authorize a representative to act on his or her behalf in pursuing benefit claims, in accordance with procedures established by the Plan Administrator for determining whether an individual is so authorized.  All claim determinations shall be made by the Committee in accordance with the Plan provisions.

 

Section 10.2 Denial Of Claims

 

In the event any claim for benefits is denied in whole or in part, the Plan Administrator shall notify the applicant of such denial in writing and shall advise the applicant of the right to a review thereof.  Such written notice shall set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the applicant,

 

(a)              specific reasons for the denial,

 

(b)              specific references to the Plan provisions on which the denial is based,

 

(c)              a description of any information or material  necessary for the claimant to perfect the application, including an explanation of why such material is necessary, and

 

(d)              an explanation of the Plan’s claims review procedure, the time limits applicable under the procedures and a statement regarding the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit determination on appeal.

 

Such written notice shall be given to the applicant within 90 days (45 days for a claim for Disability benefits) after the Plan Administrator receives the application, unless special circumstances require an extension of time of up to an additional 90 days (30 days for a Disability benefits claim) for processing the application.  If such an

35


 

 

extension of time for processing is required, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the applicant prior to the termination of the initial 90-day period (45-day period for a Disability benefits claim).  This notice of extension shall indicate the special circumstances requiring the extension of time and the date by which the Plan Administrator expects to render its decision on the application for benefits.

 

Section 10.3 Requests For A Review

 

Any person whose application for benefits is denied in whole or in part, or such person’s authorized representative, may appeal from such denial by submitting to the Committee a request for a review of the application within 60 days (180 days for a Disability benefits claim) after receiving written notice of such denial from the Plan Administrator.  If the claimant does not request a review of the determination within such 60 day period (180 days for a Disability benefits claim), the claimant shall be barred from challenging the determination.  The request for a review shall be in writing and shall set forth all of the grounds on which it is based, all facts and documents in support of the request and any other matters which the applicant deems pertinent.  The Committee may require the applicant to submit such additional facts, documents or other material as it may deem necessary or appropriate in making its review.  The claimant may submit written comments, documents, records and other information related to the benefit claim on appeal.  The claimant must be provided, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records and other information relevant to the benefit claim.  A document is considered relevant to the claim if it (i) was relied upon in making the benefit determination; (ii) was submitted, considered or generated in the course of making the benefit determination, without regard as to whether it was relied upon in making the decision; or (iii) demonstrates compliance in making the benefit decision with the requirement that the benefit determination must follow the terms of the Plan and be consistent when applied to similarly situated claimants.

 

Section 10.4 Decision On Review

 

The Committee on appeal must undertake a full and fair review of the claim and consider all comments, documents, records and other information submitted by the

36


 

 

claimant, without regard to whether such information was submitted or considered in the initial benefit determination.  The Committee shall act upon each request for review within 60 days (45 days for a review of a Disability benefits claim) after receipt thereof unless special circumstances require an extension of time of up to an additional 60 days (45 days for a Disability benefits claim) for processing the request.  If such an extension is required, written notice of the extension shall be furnished to the applicant prior to the end of the initial 60-day period.  This notice of extension shall indicate the special circumstances requiring the extension of time and the date by which the Committee expects to render its decision on the application for benefits.  If an extension of time is required due to the claimant’s failure to submit information necessary to review the claim, the period of time that the Committee has to review the claim will be tolled from the date on which the notice of extension is sent to the claimant until the date on which the claimant responds to the request for additional information.

 

Within the time prescribed above, the Committee shall give written notice of its decision to the applicant.  In the event that the Committee confirms the denial of the application for benefits in whole or in part, such notice shall set forth, in a manner calculated to be understood by the applicant,

 

(a)              the specific reasons for such denial,

 

(b)              specific references to the Plan provisions on which the decision is based,

 

(c)              a statement that the claimant is entitled to receive, upon request and free of charge, reasonable access to and copies of all documents, records and other information relevant to the benefit claim.  A document is considered relevant to the claim if it (i) was relied upon in making the benefit determination; (ii) was submitted, considered or generated in the course of making the benefit determination, without regard as to whether it was relied upon in making the decision; or (iii) demonstrates compliance in making the benefit decision with the requirement that the benefit determination must follow the terms of the Plan and be consistent when applied to similarly situated claimants, and

 

(d)              a description of any voluntary appeal procedures offered under the Plan, the claimant’s right to obtain information about such procedures and a statement

37


 

 

regarding the claimant’s right to bring a civil action under section 502(a) of ERISA following an adverse benefit determination on appeal.

 

In the event that the Committee determines that the application for benefits should not have been denied in whole or in part, the Committee shall take appropriate remedial action as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter.

 

Section 10.5 Rules And Procedures

 

The Committee may establish such rules and procedures, consistent with the Plan and with ERISA, as it may deem necessary or appropriate in carrying out its responsibilities under this Article X.  The Committee may require an applicant who wishes to submit additional information in connection with an appeal from the denial of benefits in whole or in part to do so at the applicant’s own expense.

 

Section 10.6 Exhaustion Of Remedies

 

No legal action for benefits under the Plan shall be brought unless and until the applicant (a) has submitted a written claim for benefits in accordance with Section 10.1; (b) has been notified by the Plan Administrator that the application is denied; (c) has filed a written request for a review of the application in accordance with Section 10.3; and (d) has been notified in writing that the Committee has affirmed the denial of the application.  Further, no action on a claim arising under the Plan which is not a benefit claim may be brought unless the applicant complies with the above procedures.  However, an action may not be brought by the claimant under Section 502(a) of ERISA if the claimant fails to bring such claim within the period prescribed by law.

 

38


 

 

 

ARTICLE XI

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION.

 

Section 11.1 Amendment

 

Subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Board may at any time amend the Plan by written instrument (including a retroactive amendment required to comply with Code Section 409A), provided that no amendment shall reduce the value of a Participant’s Plan Benefits as of the date of the amendment.  In addition, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (or his or her delegate) may adopt such amendments to the Plan that he or she (or his or her delegate) deem necessary or appropriate under the following circumstances:  (i) to insure that the Plan meets the requirements of applicable law; (ii) to revise routine day to day procedures under which the Plan is operated; or (iii) to restate the Plan document to incorporate prior amendments.

 

Section 11.2 Company’s Right To Terminate

 

Subject to the requirements of Code Section 409A, the Board may at any time terminate the Plan.  Such termination will not reduce the value of a Participant’s Plan Benefits as of the date of termination.  Distributions will be made as required by regulations issued under Code Section 409A, including, but not limited to the following:

 

(a)              The termination and liquidation of the Plan must not occur proximate to a downturn in the financial health of the Company;

 

(b)              The Company must terminate and liquidate all other arrangements required to be aggregated under such regulations;

 

(c)              No distributions may be made during the twelve months following the date the Company takes all necessary actions to terminate and liquidate the Plan (other than amounts that would have been distributed if such actions had not been taken) and all benefits must be distributed no later than the end of the twenty four month period following the date the company takes such actions; and

 

(d)              No new plan may be adopted to the extent required under such regulations.

 

39


 

 

 

ARTICLE XII

MISCELLANEOUS.

 

Section 12.1 Unfunded Plan

 

This Plan is an unfunded plan maintained primarily to provide deferred Compensation benefits for a select group of “management or highly-compensated employees” within the meaning of Sections 201, 301, and 401 of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and therefore is exempt from the provisions of Parts 2, 3 and 4 of Title I of ERISA.  Accordingly, to the extent permitted under Code Section 409A, the Board may remove certain employees as Participants if it is determined by the United States Department of Labor, a court of competent jurisdiction, or an opinion of counsel that the Plan constitutes an employee pension benefit plan within the meaning of Section 3(2) of ERISA (as currently in effect or hereafter amended) which is not so exempt.

 

Section 12.2 Unsecured General Creditor

 

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, Participants and the Participants’ Beneficiaries shall be unsecured general creditors, with no secured or preferential rights to any assets of Company or any other party for payment of benefits under this Plan.  Any property held by Company with respect to the Plan, including property for the purpose of generating the cash flow for benefit payments, shall remain the Company’s general, unpledged and unrestricted assets and shall remain subject to the claims of the Company’s general unsecured creditors.  The Company’s obligation under the Plan shall be an unfunded and unsecured promise to pay money in the future.

 

Section 12.3 Establishment Of, And Contributions To, The Trust

 

The Company will enter into a Trust Agreement with a trustee selected by the Company under which a Trust will be established.  In the discretion of the Company, the Company may contribute to the Trust all or a portion of the value of the Plan Benefits under the Plan.  In addition, such amounts will be contributed to the Trust to the extent required under the Trust Agreement.  Within 30 days following a Change In Control Of The Company, the value of the Plan Benefits that have not previously been contributed

40


 

 

 

to the Trust will be so contributed.  Within 30 days following a Change In Control Of A Bank Subsidiary, the value of the Plan Benefits of a Participant who is a current or former employee of such Bank Subsidiary that has not previously been contributed to the Trust will be so contributed.  A current (or former employee) of a corporation in which the Bank Subsidiary owns 100% of the common stock immediately prior to the Change In Control of the Bank Subsidiary will be considered an employee (or former employee) under the previous sentence. Although the Trust shall be irrevocable, its assets shall be held for payment of all Company’s general creditors in the event of the Company’s bankruptcy or insolvency.  To the extent any Plan Benefits are paid from the Trust, the Company shall have no further obligation to pay them.  If not paid from the Trust, such Plan Benefits shall remain the obligation of Company.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in the Trust Agreement to the contrary, in no event shall a contribution be made to the Trust for the purpose of paying any amount to an “applicable covered employee” (as defined in Code Section 409A(b)(3)(D)(i)) during any “restricted period” (as defined in Code Section 409A(b)(3)(B)), if such contribution would result in the imposition of any taxes, penalties or interest on such applicable covered employee under Code Section 409A(b)(3).

 

Section 12.4 Nonassignability

 

Neither a Participant nor any other person shall have any right to commute, sell, assign, transfer, pledge, anticipate, mortgage or otherwise encumber, transfer, hypothecate or convey in advance of actual receipt the amounts, if any, payable hereunder, or any part thereof, which are, and all rights to which are, expressly declared to be unassignable and non-transferable.  No part of the amounts payable shall, prior to actual payment, be subject to seizure or sequestration for the payment of any debts, judgments, alimony or separate maintenance owed by a Participant or any other person, nor be transferable by operation of law in the event of a Participant’s or any other person’s bankruptcy or insolvency.

 

Section 12.5 No Contract Of Employment

 

This Plan shall not constitute a contract of employment between Company and the Participant.  Nothing in this Plan shall give a Participant the right to be retained in

41


 

 

the service of Company or to interfere with the right of the Company to discipline or discharge a Participant at any time.

 

Section 12.6 Protective Provisions

 

A Participant will cooperate with Company by furnishing any and all information requested by Company, in order to facilitate the payment of benefits hereunder, and by taking such physical examinations as Company may deem necessary and taking such other action as may be requested by Company.

 

Section 12.7 Governing Law

 

The provisions of this Plan shall be construed and interpreted under ERISA or other applicable federal law, or, to the extent not preempted by ERISA (or other federal law), the laws of the State of Delaware.

 

Section 12.8 Validity

 

If any provision of this Plan shall be held illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts hereof, but this Plan shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal and invalid provision had never been inserted herein.

 

Section 12.9 Notice

 

Any notice required or permitted under the Plan shall be made under rules and procedures established by the Committee.

 

Section 12.10 Successors

 

The provisions of this Plan shall bind and inure to the benefit of Company and its successors and assigns.  The term successors as used herein shall include any corporate or other business entity which shall, whether by merger, consolidation, purchase or otherwise acquire all or substantially all of the business and assets of Company, and successors of any such corporation or other business entity.
