<p style=' margin-bottom:0pt; margin-top:0pt; text-indent:0.5in;text-align:left;'><font size=2>On February 27, 2008, at a meeting of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the &#147;Committee&#148;), the Committee approved performance goals for executive officers under the Alexander &amp; Baldwin, Inc. One-Year Performance Improvement Incentive Plan (&#147;PIIP&#148;) for 2008.  The PIIP provides performance-based incentives to executive officers and is further described in the Company&#146;s Proxy Statement.  The goals set in 2008 are substantially similar to prior years, though the Committee added a return on invested capital (&#147;ROIC&#148;) measure for the Company&#146;s transportation and real estate units.  Thus, for executive officers of the transportation and real estate units, the business unit performance portion of their PIIP award will be weighted 65% on the pretax income goal and 35% on the ROIC goal.</font></p>
