Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan financial
"Investment election by reporting person to acquire stock under the Directors' Deferred Compensation Plan"
derivative security financial
"at a price equal to the price of derivative security set forth in column 8"
A derivative security is a financial contract whose value comes from the price or performance of something else, such as a stock, bond, commodity, or market index. For investors it acts like an insurance policy or a wager: it can be used to protect against losses, lock in prices, or amplify gains and losses, so it can change a portfolio’s risk and potential return without owning the underlying asset directly.
Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan financial
"acquired with reinvested dividends pursuant to Bank of Hawaii Corporation's Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan"
A dividend reinvestment and stock purchase plan lets investors automatically use cash dividends to buy additional shares and often make extra share purchases directly from the company, usually at low or no commission. Think of it as an automatic savings plan for stock: dividends and optional contributions are turned into more shares, helping ownership grow through compounding and making regular investing simple and low-cost—key for long-term investors.
distributions financial
"Distributions to be made at termination of service as a director or earlier at director's option"
Distributions are payments a company, fund, or trust gives to its shareholders or unitholders, usually as cash or extra shares, drawn from profits, investment gains, or sometimes a return of the original money invested. They matter to investors because distributions provide income and affect the value and tax treatment of holdings—like getting a paycheck from an asset or receiving a slice of a shared pie that reduces the pie’s remaining size.
