1 On June 6, 2012, Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. (“A&B Predecessor”), merged (the “Merger”) with and into A&B Merger Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of Alexander & Baldwin Holdings, Inc. (“Holdings”), with A&B Predecessor surviving the Merger. At the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding share of common stock, without par value, of A&B Predecessor (the “A&B Predecessor Common Stock”) automatically converted into one share of common stock, without par value, of Holdings (the “Common Stock”). On June 29, 2012, the separation (the “Separation”) of Holdings into A&B II, Inc., a direct, wholly-owned Subsidiary of Holdings that was renamed “Alexander & Baldwin, Inc.” in connection with the Separation (“New A&B”), and the Issuer (as defined below) was completed. As a result of the Separation, shareholders of Holdings (subsequently renamed “Matson, Inc.”) (the “Issuer”) received one share of common stock of New A&B for each share of Common Stock held immediately prior to the Separation. This calculation is based on 42,197,494 shares of A&B Predecessor Common Stock outstanding as of March 31, 2012, as reported in A&B Predecessor’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended March 31, 2012 (the “Form 10-Q”).
