EXPLANATORY NOTE

 

Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc., a Hawaii corporation (the “Registrant”) is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (the “Post-Effective Amendment”) to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (No. 333-105404) filed on May 20, 2003 (the “Registration Statement”) to deregister shares of the Registrant’s common stock (without par value) (“Registrant Common Stock”) registered by the Registration Statement and remaining unissued and unsold upon termination of the offering thereunder.

 

The Registration Statement registered 4,000,000 shares (2,000,000 shares originally registered as adjusted to reflect a two-for-one stock split in 2004) of Registrant Common Stock to be offered and sold pursuant to the Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. 1987 Stock Option and Incentive Plan as amended and restated effective January 21, 2003 (the “Plan”).  In 2010, the Board of Directors of Registrant adopted a new plan, titled the Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. 2010 Equity and Incentive Plan (the “2010 Plan”).  The 2010 Plan became effective upon approval by Registrant’s shareholders on May 11, 2010 and, by the terms of the 2010 Plan, no new awards were to be made under the 1987 Plan (nor have any new awards been made) since the effective date of the 2010 Plan.  However, at the time the 2010 Plan became effective, there remained outstanding a number of awards under the 1987 Plan; accordingly, the Registration Statement has remained effective and shares of Registrant Common Stock have been issued from time to time pursuant to the awards outstanding under the 1987 Plan.

 

All awards under the 1987 Plan have now been exercised or otherwise been satisfied or have expired and the 1987 Plan no longer is of any force or effect and has terminated.  Accordingly, pursuant to the undertaking contained in the Registration Statement to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering, the Registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment to the Registration Statement to deregister an aggregate of 3,680,567 shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock previously registered under the Registration Statement that have not been issued or sold, and will not in the future be issued or sold, under the 1987 Plan.
