<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Ronald Migita, President and CEO of CB Bancshares, Inc., added, &#147;We
sincerely appreciate our shareholders&#146; support and look forward to building a
combined bank that will deliver added value to both new and longstanding
shareholders of CPF as well as the customers, employees and communities that we
will serve.&#148;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The following voting results were reported with respect to the proposed
merger: approximately 81.34% and 80.37% of the issued and outstanding shares of
Central Pacific Financial Corp. and CB Bancshares, Inc., respectively, voted
&#147;FOR&#148; the proposal to approve the merger agreement, exceeding the requirements
of Hawaii law.&#160; 96.8% of the CPF shares
that were voted, voted in favor of the merger proposal and 94.7% of the CBBI
shares that were voted, voted in favor of the merger proposal.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Other proposals on the CPF shareholder ballot that were approved today
include: an amendment to CPF&#146;s Restated Articles of Incorporation to increase
the number of common shares authorized for issuance to 100 million shares; the
CPF 2004 Stock Compensation Plan; and the CPF 2004 Annual Executive Incentive
Plan.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The merger is scheduled to close on September&nbsp;15, 2004. Central
Pacific Financial Corp. will be the surviving corporation and will operate two
bank subsidiaries, Central Pacific Bank and City Bank, until it merges the
banks under the Central Pacific name. The merger consideration to be received
by CBBI shareholders will be approximately $20 in cash plus 2.6752 shares of
CPF common stock for each share of CBBI common stock, or a value of $96.24 per
CBBI share based on the closing price of CPF stock as of September&nbsp;10,
2004. CBBI shareholders had the opportunity to elect cash and/or shares of CPF
common stock, subject to proration, and will receive their consideration based
on an aggregate pool of cash and stock available.</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">Upon completion of the merger, Clint Arnoldus will serve as Chief
Executive Officer and Ronald Migita will serve as Chairman of the Board of the
new combined company.&#160; As previously
announced, Central Pacific Financial Corp. plans to consolidate bank branches
in overlapping areas and begin opening new branches in under-served areas of
Hawaii as part of its long-range plans. Currently, Central Pacific and City
Bank operate 23 and 22 branches, respectively, in the State of Hawaii on four
islands.&#160; &#147;The merger provides us with
an opportunity and the resources to expand our banking services into
communities not being served by either bank through the consolidation of
overlapping branches,&#148; said Arnoldus.</font></p>
