LANAI COMPANY, INC. NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS As required by Section 415-48.5 of the Hawaii Revised Statutes ("Section 415-48.5"), notice is hereby given that the Board of Directors of LANAI COMPANY, INC., a Hawaii corporation (the "Corporation") has proposed an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation which would eliminate the personal liability of the directors of the Corporation in certain actions brought by the shareholders or the Corporation. Section 415-48.5 grants Hawaii corporations the power to adopt such amendments. The form of the proposed amendment is enclosed herewith. If adopted, the proposed amendment will eliminate the personal liability of directors for monetary damages in actions brought by shareholders or the Corporation for breach of fiduciary duty as a director. Under Section 415-48.5, however, the personal liability of a director will not be eliminated or limited for (i) any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the Corporation or its shareholders, (ii) any act or omission of the director not performed in good faith, or which involves intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law, or which constitutes a wilful or reckless disregard of the director's fiduciary duty, (iii) the director's wilful or negligent violation of any provision of the Hawaii Business Corporation Act (Chapter 415, Hawaii Revised Statutes) regarding payment of dividends or stock purchase or redemption, or (iv) any transaction from which the director received an improper benefit. Under Section 415-48.5, the proposed amendment must be adopted by the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the shares represented at a shareholders' meeting and having voting power; provided that the vote also constitutes a majority of the shares having voting power. The Board of Directors believes that the adoption of the proposed amendment will help to induce qualified persons to serve on the Corporation's Board of Directors. In the absence of such a provision, it is believed that qualified persons may decline to serve because of the liability exposure to which directors of publicly-held corporations are subjected. If the proposed form of amendment is acceptable, please execute and return to the Secretary of the Corporation the enclosed form of written consent adopting the proposed amendment.
