The Audit Committee has three members: Mr. Carty (Chairman),  Mr. Anderson and Mr. Kobayashi. Pursuant to the Audit Committee charter, the Audit Committee is responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention, and oversight of the work of our independent auditors. Its principal functions are to: (i) oversee the integrity of our financial statements and other financial information provided by us to any governmental body or the public; (ii) oversee our systems of internal controls and procedures regarding finance, accounting, disclosures and legal compliance with applicable laws and regulations; and (iii) monitor the performance of the internal auditors, if any, and the independence, qualifications and performance of the independent auditors and pre-approve services provided by the independent auditors. The Board of Directors has determined that all of the members of the Audit Committee are independent, as that term is used under applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), the American Stock Exchange and the Pacific Exchange. The Board has also determined that Mr. Carty satisfies the criteria set forth in Item 401(h) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Exchange Act to serve as the “audit committee financial expert” on the Audit Committee.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

 

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our directors and executive officers, and persons who own more than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities, to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), and other equity securities. Such persons are also required to provide us with copies of all such reports filed with the SEC. Based solely upon the information supplied to us by these persons, we are required to report any known failure to file these reports within the specified period. To our knowledge, based solely upon a review of the Section 16(a) reports furnished to us and the written representations of these reporting persons, these persons complied with all filing requirements in a timely fashion for fiscal year 2005, except that (i) Mr. Arakawa did not timely file a Form 3 in connection with his appointment as Secretary in July 2005, (ii) Mr. Dunkerley did not timely file a Form 4 in connection with stock option grants on each of June 10, 2005 and July 25, 2005, and (iii) Mr. Carty did not timely file a Form 4 in connection with a stock option grant on August 10, 2005. Each of these filings was subsequently made.

 

Code of Ethics

 

We have adopted a code of ethics (the “Code”) that applies to our directors, officers and employees. The Code is designed to deter wrongdoing on the part of such persons and to promote: (1) honest and ethical business conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest between personal and provisional relationships, (2) full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that we file with, or submit to the SEC and in other public communications made by us, (3) compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations, (4) the prompt internal reporting of violations of the Code to an appropriate person or persons identified in the Code, and (5) accountability for adherence to the Code. We have also adopted Corporate Governance Guidelines that cover a wide range of business practices and procedures. The Code and the Corporate Governance Guidelines are designed to foster the highest standards of ethics and conduct in all of our business relationships. The Code is posted of our website at www.hawaiianair.com and will be mailed upon written request to Secretary, Hawaiian Holdings, Inc., 3375 Koapaka Street, Suite G-350 Honolulu, Hawaii or by calling (808) 835-3610.

We did not grant awards to the named executive officers under any long-term incentive plan in the last fiscal year.

 

Compensation of Directors

 

On March 24, 2005, the Board adopted a compensation policy for directors who are not compensated as executive officers, effective January 1, 2005, whereby each such director receives an annual retainer of $30,000 plus $1,500 for each meeting of the Board that he attends in person and $500 for each meeting he attends telephonically. The chairman of the Audit Committee receives an annual retainer of $10,000 and the chairmen of the Governance and Nominating Committee and the Compensation Committee each receive an additional annual retainer of $2,000. Nonemployee directors shall also receive automatic grants of stock options under the terms of the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan of Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. Upon joining the Board, each new director who is not compensated as an executive officer will receive options for 5,000 shares. In addition, each such director will receive options for 10,000 shares of Common Stock on an annual basis, with the exception of the Chairman of the Board who will receive options for 15,000 shares of Common Stock on an annual basis. All such options shall have exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant, a ten-year term and a vesting schedule of three years.

 

Employment Contracts; Termination of Employment and Change-In-Control Arrangements

 

On August 18, 2005, we entered into a thirty-six (36) month employment agreement (the “Dunkerley Agreement”) with Mark B. Dunkerley providing for Mr. Dunkerley’s continued service as our President and Chief Executive Officer. Under the Dunkerley Agreement, Mr. Dunkerley is entitled to an annual base salary of $550,000, and is eligible to receive an annual bonus of one hundred percent (100%) and a maximum of two hundred percent (200%) of his annual base salary, if he achieves certain targets to be established by our Board of Directors. The Dunkerley Agreement provides for the grant to Mr. Dunkerley of stock options to purchase 1,044,000 shares of our Common Stock. Options to purchase 300,000 shares were granted on June 10, 2005 and the balance of the options was granted on July 25, 2005, in each case at exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. The options vest in equal installments on January 1 in each of the years 2006, 2007 and 2008. If Mr. Dunkerley’s employment is terminated other than for cause (as defined in the Dunkerley Agreement), or if he resigns for “good reason” (as defined in the Dunkerley Agreement), all rights to equity benefits previously granted, including the options, would immediately vest and he would be entitled to receive previously accrued but unpaid base salary and bonus, a pro rata bonus for the year in which the termination occurs, plus a lump sum payment in the amount of $1.0 million. In the event of a “change of control” (as defined in the Dunkerley Agreement), Mr. Dunkerley would have the right, on sixty (60) days written notice to us, to terminate his employment with us, which termination will be deemed a termination for “good reason.”  The Dunkerley Agreement contains certain covenants, including a non-competition covenant covering the term of his employment and an additional period of twelve (12) months thereafter.

 

On November 18, 2005, Hawaiian entered into an employment agreement (the “Ingram Agreement”) with Peter R. Ingram providing for Mr. Ingram’s service as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Hawaiian. Under the Ingram Agreement, Mr. Ingram is entitled to receive an annual base salary of $275,000. He will also be eligible to receive a target bonus of seventy-five percent (75%) of his annual base salary, subject to the achievement of certain performance targets. In 2005, Mr. Ingram received a $50,000 signing bonus and an

 

8



 

additional $50,000 as a prepayment of his fiscal 2006 incentive compensation. In 2005, Mr. Ingram also received a reimbursement of relocation expenses to Hawaii, a housing allowance and a related lump sum payment aggregating approximately $59,000. In the event Mr. Ingram’s employment is terminated without cause (as defined in the Ingram Agreement), he will receive severance payments in the amount of twelve months’ base salary, and in the event such termination without cause occurs during the first twelve months of Mr. Ingram’s employment, he will also receive reimbursement of relocation expenses from Hawaii of up to $40,000. On November 16, 2005, Mr. Ingram was awarded stock options to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock. Such options are exercisable, subject to vesting as described below, at the fair market value of the Common Stock as of such award date. The Ingram Agreement provides for Mr. Ingram to be awarded two additional tranches of 100,000 options, subject to his continued employment, on the first and second anniversaries of the commencement of his employment. Such future options will be exercisable at the fair market value of the Common Stock as of the applicable award date of each tranche. Each tranche will vest at the rate of 33 1/3% per year following the applicable award date of such tranche. The Ingram Agreement contains certain covenants, including a non-competition covenant covering the term of his employment and an additional period of twelve (12) months thereafter.

 

On March 29, 2005, Hawaiian entered into a twenty-four (24) month employment agreement (the “Arakawa Agreement”) with David Z. Arakawa providing for Mr. Arakawa’s service as Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of Hawaiian. Under the Arakawa Agreement, Mr. Arakawa is entitled to an annual base salary of $200,000, and is eligible to participate in any performance bonus plan and stock option plan established by the Board of Directors of Hawaiian for its senior officers. Any awards under such plans shall be payable in the amount, in the manner and at the time determined by the Board of Directors of Hawaiian in its sole and absolute discretion. If Mr. Arakawa’s employment is terminated other than for cause (as defined in the Arakawa Agreement) he would be entitled to receive Accrued Obligations (as defined in the Arakawa Agreement), a lump sum payment in the amount of $200,000 and medical and dental premiums for a period of one (1) year. The Arakawa Agreement contains certain covenants, including a non-competition covenant covering the term of his employment and an additional period of twelve (12) months thereafter.

 

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

 

The members of the Compensation Committee are Mr. Carty, Mr. Kobayashi and Admiral Fargo. No member of our compensation committee has at any time been an employee of ours.

ITEM 12. SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.

 

The following table provides the beneficial ownership, both direct and indirect, reported to us as of March 31, 2006 of our Common Stock and Special Preferred Stock, including shares as to which a right to acquire ownership within 60 days of such date exists (for example, through the ability to exercise stock options and warrants). The information is presented for beneficial owners of more than 5% of our Common Stock and Special Preferred Stock, and for our directors, our named executive officers and for the group comprised of all of our directors and executive officers. We know of no persons other than those identified below who owned beneficially more than 5% of the outstanding shares of our Common Stock or Special Preferred Stock as of March 31, 2006. The table is based on 45,945,800 shares of Common Stock and one share each of Series B Special Preferred Stock, Series C Special Preferred Stock and Series D Special Preferred Stock outstanding as of March 31, 2006. Each beneficial owner’s percentage ownership is determined by including shares underlying options or warrants that are exercisable by such person currently or within 60 days following March 31, 2006, and excluding shares underlying options and warrants held by any other person. The following table does not include shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of our Series A and Series B Subordinated Convertible Notes due June 1, 2010 (the

“Notes”), which become convertible into an aggregate of 13,793,103 shares of Common Stock at any time after June 2, 2006, unless redeemed prior to such date.

Special Preferred Stock

 

The IAM, the AFA and the ALPA hold one share of Series B Special Preferred Stock, Series C Special Preferred Stock and Series D Special Preferred Stock, respectively, that entitle each Union to nominate one director. The Unions previously had nominated representatives to the Board, which nominees had been elected to the Board. On January 31, 2004, the persons nominated by the Unions to serve on the Board resigned from the Board. On September 29, 2005, the Board appointed the ALPA’s nominee to the Board, and on November 16, 2005 the Board appointed the AFA’s nominee to the Board. In a letter to the Company dated March 16, 2006, the IAM nominated Mr. Sean Kim to serve on the Board. We expect the Board to appoint Mr. Kim to the Board immediately following our annual meeting of stockholders on May 31, 2006. Each Union, as a holder of Special Preferred Stock, has the right to designate a nominee to fill a vacancy on the Board caused by the removal, resignation or death of a director whom such holder is entitled to nominate pursuant to our Amended By-laws. If such vacancy is not filled by the Board within 30 days of such nomination, such vacancy may be filled by the written consent of the applicable holder of Special Preferred Stock. In addition to the rights described above, each series of the Special Preferred Stock, unless otherwise specified: (1) ranks senior to the Common Stock and ranks pari passu with each other such series of Special Preferred Stock with respect to the liquidation, dissolution and winding up of the Company and will be entitled to receive $0.01 per share before any payments are made, or assets distributed to holders of any stock ranking junior to the Special Preferred Stock; (2) has no dividend rights unless a dividend is declared and paid on the Common Stock, in which case the Special Preferred Stock would be entitled to receive a dividend in an amount per share equal to two times the dividend per share paid on the Common Stock; (3) is entitled to one vote per share of such series and votes with the Common Stock as a single class on all matters submitted to holders of the Common Stock; and (4) automatically converts into the Common Stock on a 1:1 basis at such time as such shares are transferred or such holders are no longer entitled to nominate a representative to our Board of Directors pursuant to their respective collective bargaining agreements.

 

Changes In Control

 

We are not aware of any arrangement that might result in a change of control in the future.

 

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS.

 

RC Aviation LLC, Lawrence Hershfield and Randall Jenson

 

On June 1, 2005, members of RC Aviation, as well as RC Aviation itself and its managing member, RC Aviation Management, LLC, purchased an aggregate of $60 million of our Notes. RC Aviation is a principal stockholder of Holdings, owning approximately 36% of our outstanding shares of Common Stock. RC Aviation Management, LLC is the managing member of RC Aviation and its managing member is Mr. Hershfield. Mr. Hershfield, as the controlling member of RC Aviation Management, LLC, has the power to vote the shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by RC Aviation and its members pursuant to agreements among the members. Messrs. Hershfield and Jenson also have an economic interest in RC Aviation representing approximately 11% of the Common Stock and 11% of the Common Stock Warrant (as defined below) owned by RC Aviation.

 

The bankruptcy trustee, Holdings and RC Aviation had previously entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement, dated as of August 26, 2004 (the “Restructuring Support Agreement”), pursuant to which Holdings and RC Aviation agreed to raise the funding necessary to meet the distribution and payment obligations under the Third Amended Joint Plan of Reorganization (the “Joint Plan”) of Hawaiian and to ensure that Hawaiian would have at least the minimum amount of cash required by the Joint Plan on the effective date of the Joint Plan. In addition, Holdings entered into an agreement with RC Aviation, dated August 24, 2004, in which RC Aviation and its members entered into a firm commitment (the “RC Commitment”) to provide, among other things, up to $60 million in funds if required to finance the Joint Plan. Pursuant to the terms of the Restructuring Support Agreement and the RC Commitment, we and RC Aviation have financed the Joint Plan with the Notes, a senior secured credit facility, and a subordinated secured credit facility.

A special committee of the Board of Directors of Holdings approved the terms of the Notes as well as the Series E Warrant and the Common Stock Warrant (each as defined below) and received fairness opinions in connection therewith.

 

On June 2, 2005, RC Aviation received a warrant to purchase shares of our newly designated Series E Preferred Stock (the “Series E Warrant”), such warrant to be automatically exchanged, upon the effectiveness of an amendment to our certificate of incorporation increasing the number of authorized shares of our Common Stock, for a Common Stock purchase warrant (the “Common Stock Warrant”) to purchase up to ten percent (10%) of the fully-diluted shares of Common Stock (or 6,855,685 shares), of which warrant half had been previously earned by RC Aviation for its funding commitment with respect to the Joint Plan and the other half of which was earned by RC Aviation in connection with its purchase of the Notes pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement, dated June 1, 2005. On July 8, 2005, the amendment to our certificate of incorporation was filed and became effective and the Series E Warrant was cancelled and exchanged for the Common Stock Warrant. On September 30, 2005, we filed a Certificate of Elimination with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, thereby canceling and eliminating the Series E Preferred Stock.

 

On October 19, 2005, November 23, 2005 and November 25, 2005, we repurchased an aggregate of approximately $5.0 million, $1.9 million and $0.8 million, respectively, in principal amount of the Notes at their face amount, plus accrued interest, and a corresponding portion of the Common Stock Warrant. After giving effect to the warrant repurchases in connection with the Note repurchases, RC Aviation now holds a warrant to purchase 5,973,384 shares of Common Stock. The Common Stock Warrant is currently exercisable at an exercise price of $7.20 per share, subject to adjustment from time to time for certain dilutive events. The Company intends to redeem all outstanding Notes in the second quarter of 2006, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions relating to the Company’s recently amended senior secured credit facility and subordinated secured credit facility.

 

In connection with the issuance of the Notes and the granting of the Common Stock Warrant, Holdings and RC Aviation also entered into a Registration Rights Agreement relating to the registration of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Common Stock Warrant.

 

Messrs. Hershfield and Jenson provided significant consulting services to the Company during 2004 and 2005 without compensation. In recognition of such services, independent committees of the Board authorized the following compensation to Messrs. Hershfield and Jenson which was paid in December 2005: (i) the grant of an option to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock and a cash payment of $100,000 to Mr. Hershfield, and (ii) the grant of an option to purchase 75,000 shares of Common Stock and a cash payment of $150,000 to Mr. Jenson. The exercise price of such options is equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date of grant. In addition, the Company also authorized the payment of $10,000 per month to Mr. Hershfield, Mr. Jenson or their affiliate for the continued consulting services of Messrs. Hershfield and Jenson and others to the Company.

 

Eric C.W. Nicolai

 

Mr. Nicolai, one of our directors, and his wife, Brenda Mae-Esona Nicolai, are employed by Hawaiian as a pilot and flight attendant, respectively. The 2005 salaries of Mr. Nicolai and his wife were $164,000 and $43,600, respectively.

 

William S. Swelbar

 

Mr. Swelbar, one of our directors, is the President and Managing Partner of Eclat Consulting, Inc. (“Eclat”). During 2004 and 2005, Eclat received consulting fees in the amount $181,651 and $473,279, respectively, from Holdings and Hawaiian.

Ranch Capital, LLC

 

During 2004 and 2005, Ranch Capital, LLC, an organization for which Messrs. Hershfield and Jenson serve as Chief Executive Officer and Managing Director, respectively, paid approximately $69,000 and $52,000 on the Company’s behalf for travel expenses for Messrs. Hershfield and Jenson. As of December 31, 2005, the Company had reimbursed Ranch Capital, LLC for all but $3,000 of such travel expenses.

 

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.

 

The amounts set forth below include all fees paid to Ernst & Young LLP (“Ernst & Young”), our independent registered public accountants, for services provided to the Company during 2005 and 2004, and all fees for services provided to Hawaiian subsequent to June 2, 2005. Prior to June 2, 2005, when we did not control or consolidate Hawaiian, all services provided to Hawaiian by Ernst & Young, and the fees paid by Hawaiian to Ernst & Young, were under the supervision of the bankruptcy trustee, subject to approval by the bankruptcy court, and therefore were not subject to the audit committee pre-approval policies described below.

 

Audit Fees

 

Fees for audit services rendered by Ernst & Young to the Company and Hawaiian totaled $4.7 million and $0.5 million for 2005 and 2004, respectively. Audit fees consist primarily of fees for the audits of our consolidated financial statements and the financial statements of Hawaiian, the audit of our internal control over financial reporting, the review of the interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in our quarterly reports, attestation services required by statute or regulation, consents, assistance with and review of documents filed with the SEC, work performed by tax professionals in connection with the audits and quarterly reviews, and accounting and financial reporting consultations and research work necessary to comply with generally accepted auditing standards. All of the foregoing services rendered by Ernst & Young were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

 

Audit Related Fees

 

Fees for audit-related services rendered by Ernst & Young to the Company and Hawaiian totaled $0.1 million and $0 for 2005 and 2004, respectively, consisting entirely of fees for the audit of Hawaiian’s employee benefit plans. All of the foregoing services rendered by Ernst & Young were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

 

Tax Fees

 

Fees for tax services rendered by Ernst & Young to the Company and Hawaiian totaled $0.4 million and $0 for 2005 and 2004, respectively. Tax fees consist primarily of fees for the preparation of federal and state tax returns, review of tax returns prepared by the Company, assistance in assembling data to respond to governmental reviews of past tax filings, and tax advice, exclusive of tax services rendered in connection with the audits. All of the foregoing services rendered by Ernst & Young were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

 

Other Fees

 

Ernst & Young did not provide any professional services during fiscal 2005 and 2004 other than those described under the captions “Audit Fees”, “Audit-Related Fees” and “Tax Fees”.

 

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies

 

The Audit Committee has adopted an Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy, whereby it may pre-approve the provision of services to us by the independent auditors. The policy of the Audit Committee is to pre-approve the audit, audit-related, tax and non-audit services to be performed during the year on an annual basis, in accordance with a schedule of such services approved by the Audit Committee. The annual audit services

 

16



 

engagement terms and fees will be subject to the specific pre-approval of the Audit Committee. Audit-related services and tax services to be provided by the auditors will be subject to general pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee may grant specific case-by-case approval for permissible non-audit services. The Audit Committee will establish pre-approval fee levels or budgeted amounts for all services to be provided on an annual basis. Any proposed services exceeding those levels or amounts will require specific pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee has delegated pre-approval authority to the Chairman of the Audit Committee, who will report any such pre-approval decisions to the Audit Committee at its next scheduled meeting.
