PROXY STATEMENT

General

This proxy is solicited on behalf of the Board of Directors (the “Board of Directors” or the “Board”) of Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc., a Hawaii corporation (the “Company”), for the 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held on May 7, 2007, at 9:00 a.m., local time, at the Company’s corporate headquarters at 120 Kane Street, Kahului, Maui, Hawaii, or any continuation, postponement or adjournment thereof, for the purposes discussed in this Proxy Statement. Proxies are solicited to give all shareholders of record an opportunity to vote on matters properly presented at the Annual Meeting. This Proxy Statement, accompanying proxy card and the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, including financial statements, are first being mailed on or about March 30, 2007 to all shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.

Who Can Vote

Holders of record of shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value (“Common Stock”), at the close of business on March 14, 2007 (the “Record Date”) will be entitled to notice of, and to vote at, the Annual Meeting. The securities entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting consist of shares of Common Stock of the Company, with each share entitling its owner to one vote per share. Shareholders will not be entitled to cumulate their votes in the election of directors.

Your shares may be voted at the Annual Meeting only if you are present in person or represented by a valid proxy. You may vote by proxy on the Internet, by telephone or by completing and mailing the enclosed proxy card. For your convenience, a self-addressed envelope is enclosed; it requires no postage if mailed in the United States. Voting by proxy on the Internet or by telephone may not be available to all shareholders. For specific instructions on voting, please refer to the instructions on the proxy card or the information forwarded by your bank, broker or other holder of record. The Internet and telephone voting facilities will close at 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on May 6, 2007. Shareholders who vote through the Internet should be aware that they may incur costs to access the Internet, such as usage charges from telephone companies or Internet service providers and that these costs must be borne by the shareholder. Shareholders who vote by Internet or telephone need not return a proxy card by mail. If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” by a broker, bank or other nominee (collectively, a “Nominee”), then your Nominee, as the record owner of the shares, must vote those shares in accordance with your instructions. Please refer to the instruction card they provide for voting your shares.

A list of shareholders entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting will be available for examination by any shareholder for any purpose germane to the Annual Meeting during ordinary business hours at the executive offices of the Company at 120 Kane Street, P.O. Box 187, Kahului, Maui, Hawaii 96733-6687 for the ten days prior to the Annual Meeting, and also at the Annual Meeting.

Shares Outstanding and Quorum

As of the Record Date, approximately                    shares of Common Stock were issued and outstanding.

Votes cast by proxy or in person at the Annual Meeting will be tabulated by the Inspector of Elections appointed for the meeting who will determine whether or not a quorum is present for the transaction of

---

business at the meeting. A quorum will exist if a majority of the Company’s shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding as of the Record Date are represented at the meeting, either in person or by proxy.

Proxy Card

Shares of the Company’s Common Stock represented by properly executed proxies received by the Company at or prior to the Annual Meeting and not subsequently revoked will be voted as directed in those proxies. If a proxy is signed and no directions are given, shares represented thereby will be voted (i) in favor of electing the Board’s three nominees for director, (ii) in favor of the ratification of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, and (iii) in favor of the amendment to the Articles of Association of the Company to authorize an additional 14,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. The proxy confers discretionary authority on the persons it names as to all other matters that may come before the Annual Meeting and at any continuation, postponement or adjournment thereof. The Board of Directors knows of no other items of business that will be presented for consideration at the Annual Meeting other than those described in this Proxy Statement. In addition, no shareholder proposals or nominations were received on a timely basis, so no such matters may be brought to a vote at the Annual Meeting.

Abstentions and Broker Non-Votes

Abstentions

When an eligible voter attends the meeting but decides not to vote, his or her decision not to vote is called an “abstention.” Properly executed proxy cards that are marked “abstain” or “withhold authority” on any proposal will be treated as abstentions for that proposal. We will treat abstentions as follows:

·       abstention shares are deemed present and entitled to vote for purposes of establishing a quorum;

·       abstention shares will be treated as not voting for purposes of determining the outcome on any proposal for which the minimum vote required for approval of the proposal is a plurality (or a majority or some other percentage) of the votes actually cast, and thus will have no effect on the outcome; and

·       abstention shares will have the same effect as votes against a proposal if the minimum vote required for approval of the proposal is a majority (or some other percentage) of (i) the shares present and entitled to vote, or (ii) all shares outstanding and entitled to vote.

Broker Non-Votes

If you are the beneficial owner of shares held in “street name” by a Nominee, then your Nominee, as the record owner of the shares, must vote those shares in accordance with your instructions. “Broker non-votes” occur when shares held by a Nominee for a beneficial owner are not voted with respect to a particular proposal because (1) the broker does not receive voting instructions from the beneficial owner, and (2) such proposal is a non-routine proposal for which the Nominee lacks the discretionary authority to vote the shares. Whether a proposal is routine or non-routine is determined under the rules of the American Stock Exchange. Thus, when no voting instructions are received and a Nominee lacks the discretion to vote on his or her clients’ behalf, Nominees are generally required to return the proxy card (or a substitute) marked with an indication that the Nominee lacks voting power over that particular proposal. This type of response is known as a “broker non-vote.”  We will treat broker non-votes as follows:

·       broker non-votes are deemed present and entitled to vote for purposes of establishing a quorum;

·       broker non-votes will not be treated as shares present and entitled to vote for purposes of any matter requiring the affirmative vote of a majority or other proportion of the shares present and

2

---

entitled to vote (even though the same shares may be considered present for quorum purposes and may be entitled to vote on other matters). Thus, a broker non-vote will not affect the outcome of the voting on a proposal the passage of which requires the affirmative vote of a plurality (or a majority or some other percentage) of (i) the votes cast or (ii) the voting power present and entitled to vote on that proposal; and

·       broker non-votes will have the same effect as a vote against a proposal the passage of which requires an affirmative vote of the holders of a majority (or some other percentage) of the outstanding shares entitled to vote on such proposal.

Each of the proposals to be presented at the Annual Meeting are considered to be discretionary and therefore may be voted upon by your Nominee if you do not give instructions for the shares held by such Nominee.

Counting of Votes

Directors are elected by a plurality of votes cast, so the three nominees who receive the most votes will be elected. Abstentions will not be taken into account in determining the election of directors and broker non-votes will not result because the election of directors is a discretionary matter.

Ratification of the independent registered public accounting firm will require an affirmative vote of a majority of shares present or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes against the ratification and the proposal. Because the ratification of the independent registered public accounting firm is a discretionary matter, broker non-votes will not result for this item.

Pursuant to the Hawaii Business Corporation Act, approval of the amendment to the Company’s Articles of Association to increase the amount of authorized shares of Common Stock requires the affirmative vote of the holders of two-thirds of the shares entitled to vote thereon. Therefore, at least                 shares of the Company’s Common Stock as of the Record Date must be voted in favor of this proposal for the amendment contemplated thereby to be approved. Abstentions will have the same effect as votes against this proposal. Because this proposal is a discretionary matter, broker non-votes will not result for this proposal.

Revocation of Proxy

If you are a shareholder of record and vote by proxy, you may revoke your proxy at any time before it is voted by:

·       signing and returning another proxy card bearing a later date;

·       submitting another proxy on the Internet or by telephone (your latest telephone or Internet voting instructions are followed); or

·       giving written notice of revocation to the Company’s Secretary prior to or at the Annual Meeting or voting at the annual meeting.

Your attendance at the Annual Meeting will not have the effect of revoking your proxy unless you give written notice of revocation to the Corporate Secretary of the company before the polls are closed. Any written notice revoking a proxy should be sent to the Company’s Secretary at the Company’s principal executive office at 120 Kane Street, P.O. Box 187, Kahului, Maui, Hawaii 96733-6687, and must be received before the polls are closed.

If your shares are held in the name of a Nominee you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your Nominee. Please note that if your shares are held of record by a Nominee and you

3

---

decide to attend and vote at the Annual Meeting, your vote in person at the Annual Meeting will not be effective unless you present a legal proxy, issued in your name from your Nominee.

Solicitation of Proxies

The Company will bear the entire cost of solicitation of proxies, including preparation, assembly and mailing of this Proxy Statement, the proxy and any additional information furnished to shareholders. Copies of solicitation materials will be furnished to banks, brokerage houses, fiduciaries and custodians holding shares of Common Stock in their names that are beneficially owned by others to forward to those beneficial owners. The Company may reimburse persons representing beneficial owners for their costs of forwarding the solicitation materials to the beneficial owners. Original solicitation of proxies by mail may be supplemented by telephone, facsimile, electronic mail or personal solicitation by directors, officers or employees of the Company. No additional compensation will be paid to directors, officers or employees for such services. In addition, the Company has retained Mellon Investor Services LLC to assist in the solicitation of proxies for a fee of approximately $x,xxx, plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

Shareholder Proposals And Nominations

Under Rule 14a-8 promulgated under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), in order for business to be properly brought by a shareholder before an annual meeting, our Secretary must receive, at our corporate office, written notice of the matter not less than 120 days prior to the first anniversary of the date our proxy statement was released to shareholders in connection with the preceding year’s annual meeting. Thus, proposals of shareholders intended to be presented pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Exchange Act must be received at the corporate offices of the Company on or before November 30, 2007 in order to be considered for inclusion in the Company’s proxy statement and proxy card for the 2008 Annual Meeting.

The Company’s Bylaws contain additional requirements that must be satisfied for any proposal of shareholders made other than under Rule 14a-8. Compliance with these requirements will entitle the proposing Shareholder only to present such proposals or nominations before the meeting, not to have the proposals or nominations included in the Company’s proxy statement or proxy card. Such proposals or nominations may not be brought before an annual meeting by a shareholder unless the shareholder has given timely written notice in proper form of such proposal or nomination to the Chairman of the Board, the President or the Secretary of the Company. Such proposals or nominations may be made only by persons who are shareholders of record on the date on which such notice is given and on the record date for determination of shareholders entitled to vote at that meeting. Shareholder notices of any proposals or nominations intended to be considered at the 2008 Annual Meeting will be timely under our Bylaws only if received at the Company’s corporate offices no earlier than January 7, 2008 and no later than February 6, 2008. However, if the 2008 Annual Meeting is called for a date that is not within thirty days before or after May 7, 2008, any such notice will be timely only if it is received no later than the close of business on the tenth day following the date of the Company’s first mailing of the notice of the 2008 Annual Meeting or the date of the Company’s public disclosure of the date of the 2008 Annual Meeting, whichever is earlier.

To be in proper written form, a shareholder’s notice concerning a proposal to be presented at an annual meeting must set forth as to each matter the shareholder proposes to bring before the annual meeting:

·       a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the annual meeting and the reasons for conducting such business at the annual meeting;

·       the name and record address of such shareholder;

·       the number of shares of stock of the Company owned by such shareholder beneficially and of record;

4

---

·       a description of all arrangements or understandings between such shareholder and any other person or persons (including their names) in connection with the proposal of such business by such shareholder and any material interest of such shareholder in such business; and

·       a representation that such shareholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual meeting to bring such business before the meeting.

To be in proper written form, a notice concerning a nomination for election to the Board of Directors must set forth as to each person whom the shareholder proposes to nominate for election as a director:

·       the name, age, business address and residence address of the person;

·       the principal occupation or employment of the person;

·       the number of shares of stock of the Company owned by the person beneficially and of record; and

·       any other information relating to the person that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; and as to the shareholder giving the notice:

·       the name and record address of such shareholder;

·       the number of shares of stock of the Company owned by such shareholder beneficially and of record;

·       a description of all arrangements or understandings between such shareholder and each proposed nominee and any other person or persons (including their names) pursuant to which the nomination(s) are to be made by such shareholder;

·       a representation that such shareholder intends to appear in person or by proxy at the meeting to nominate the persons named in its notice; and

·       any other information relating to such shareholder that would be required to be disclosed in a proxy statement or other filings required to be made in connection with solicitations of proxies for election of directors pursuant to Section 14 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. Such notice must be accompanied by a written consent of each proposed nominee to being named as a nominee and to serve as a director if elected.

In addition, no person will be eligible for election as a director if such election would cause the Company to have insufficient “independent directors” within the meaning of the listing standards of the American Stock Exchange.

Any notice concerning proposals or nominations sought to be considered at an Annual Meeting should be addressed to the Company’s Chairman, President or Secretary at 120 Kane Street, P.O. Box 187, Kahului, Hawaii 96733-6687. The full text of the bylaw provisions referred to above (which also set forth requirements and limitations as to shareholder proposals or nominations to be considered at any special meeting) may be obtained by contacting the Company’s Secretary at the foregoing address, by telephone at 808-877-3351, facsimile 808-877-1614 or e-mail at communications@mlpmaui.com.

Multiple Shareholders Sharing the Same Address

Owners of common stock in street name may receive a notice from their Nominee stating that only one proxy statement will be delivered to multiple security holders sharing an address. This practice, known as “householding,” is designed to reduce printing and postage costs. However, if any shareholder residing at such an address wishes to receive a separate proxy statement, he or she may contact the Company’s Secretary at P.O. Box 187, Kahului, Hawaii 96733-6687 or by telephone at 808-877-3351 or e-mail at communications@mlpmaui.com.

PROPOSAL 1
ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

General Information—Election of Directors

Our Articles of Association provides for a Board of Directors of not less than nine nor more than twelve directors and authorizes the Board to periodically set the number of directors within that range by a majority vote. The number of authorized directors is currently set by the Board at nine. Our Articles of Association and the Bylaws of the Company also divides our Board of Directors into three classes of directors consisting currently of three members in each class, with each class holding office for three years in staggered terms. Class One consists of three directors whose term of office expires in 2009. The second class consists of the three Class Two directors whose term expires in 2007. The third class consists of the three Class Three directors whose term of office expires in 2008.

Based upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Governance Committee, our Board has nominated the following individuals for election to Class Two positions with their term in office to expire in 2010:  Messrs. Miles R. Gilburne, Kent T. Lucien, and David A. Heenan. Messrs. Lucien and Heenan currently serve as Class Two directors. Mr. Thomas M. Gottlieb, who currently also serves as a Class Two director has declined to stand for re-election because of scheduling conflicts with other business obligations.

In the event that any person nominated as a director becomes unavailable or declines to serve as a director at the time of the Annual Meeting, the proxy holders will vote the proxies in their discretion for any nominee who is designated by the current Board of Directors to fill the vacancy. It is not expected that any of the nominees will be unavailable to serve.

Director Independence

Both the listing standards of the American Stock Exchange and the Company’s bylaws require that a majority of the Board be independent within the meaning of the listing standards of the American Stock Exchange. The Nominating and Governance Committee annually evaluates the independence of each director and nominee for director, based on the rules prescribed by the listing standards of the American Stock Exchange and an evaluation of the transactions, if any, between the Company and the other entities with whom the director has an affiliation. After completing its annual evaluation, the Nominating and Governance Committee concluded that Warren H. Haruki is not independent because of his position as Chief Executive Officer of Grove Farms Company, Inc., an entity that is principally owned by Stephen M. Case, a major shareholder of the Company. Therefore, the Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that all nominees for election to the Board at the Annual Meeting, and all continuing directors, are independent pursuant to Section 121 of the American Stock Exchange Company Guide, except for David C. Cole, the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, and Mr. Haruki.

Board Meetings and Committees; Annual Meeting Attendance

The Board of Directors has established three standing committees: the Audit Committee, the Compensation Committee, and the Nominating and Governance Committee. The Board has approved a written charter for each of these committees, and each such charter is posted on the Company website at http://mauiland.com/.

In 2006, the Board of Directors held six meetings, the Audit Committee held five meetings, the Compensation Committee held seven meetings and the Nominating and Governance Committee held one meeting. In 2006, all directors attended at least 75% of the aggregate meetings of the Board and committees on which they serve. The independent directors met three times in executive session in 2006. Board members are encouraged, but not required to attend the Company’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The Company’s 2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders was attended by all directors.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee’s duties and responsibilities are set forth in a written charter, which was filed as an exhibit to the Company’s proxy statement dated March 28, 2005. Members of the Audit Committee are Messrs. Lucien (Chairman), Gottlieb and Heenan. All of the Audit Committee members are independent from the Company and its management, as defined by the listing standards of the American Stock Exchange and by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Lucien is an audit committee financial expert as defined in the rules and regulations of the SEC.

The Audit Committee is responsible for, among other things, monitoring the integrity of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, its system of internal accounting controls and financial

9

reporting processes, and the overall performance of its internal auditors. The Audit Committee is also responsible for hiring, determining compensation for, and reviewing the independence and performance of, the Company’s independent auditors. See “Audit Matters—Report of the Audit Committee”.

Compensation Committee

The members of the Compensation Committee are Messrs. Dods (Chairman), MacNaughton and Trotter. Each of these directors is independent as defined by the applicable listing standards of the American Stock Exchange.

The Compensation Committee reviews and approves the compensation plans, salary recommendations and other matters relating to compensation of the executive officers and directors of the Company. Compensation recommendations regarding the executive officers (except for the President & CEO) and directors are generally provided to the Compensation Committee by Mr. Cole, the Company’s President & CEO. The Compensation Committee has the sole authority over any non-equity compensation recommendations. However, equity compensation recommendations are presented to the full Board for ratification. The Compensation Committee generally retains the services of a compensation consultant to evaluate the compensation of the Company’s executive officers and directors. The Compensation Committee has the sole authority to retain and terminate outside counsel and other outside experts or consultants, at the Company’s expense, as deemed appropriate. See “Executive and Director Compensation—Report of the Compensation Committee.”

Nominating and Governance Committee

The members of the Nominating and Governance Committee are Messrs. Heenan (Chairman), Agee and Dods. All of the Nominating and Governance Committee members are independent as defined by the listing standards of the American Stock Exchange.

The Nominating and Governance Committee identifies, evaluates, and recommends qualified candidates to the Board of Directors for nomination and election. The Nominating and Governance Committee’s policy with respect to director candidates recommended by shareholders is that it will consider any such director candidates on the same basis as candidates identified by the Nominating and Governance Committee. Names and resumes of prospective directors should be addressed to Nominating and Governance Committee of Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc., c/o Corporate Secretary, 120 Kane Street, P.O. Box 187, Kahului, Hawaii 96733-6687. See “Shareholder Proposals And Nominations”.

The criteria that will be applied in evaluating any candidate considered by the Nominating and Governance Committee, including those recommended by shareholders, include whether or not the candidate:

·       is familiar with the communities of Maui and Hawaii in general;

·       possesses personal and professional integrity, sound judgment and forthrightness;

·       has sufficient time and energy to devote to the Company’s affairs;

·       is willing to challenge and stimulate management and is able to work as part of a team in an environment of trust;

·       has an open-minded approach to, and the resolve to independently analyze, matters presented for consideration;

·       will add specific value by virtue of particular technical expertise, experience or skill relevant to the Company’s business; and

10

---

·       understands business and financial affairs and the complexities of a business organization. While a career in business is not essential, a nominee should have a proven record of competence and accomplishment through leadership in industry, non-profit organizations, the professions or government.

The Committee identifies nominees for positions on the Company’s Board of Directors by requesting names of potential candidates from the other Board members and from the Company’s executive officers.

The Committee is authorized by its charter to retain a third party search firm to identify potential nominees to the Board of Directors, but it did not do so in 2006. The Committee reviews resumes of the interested candidates and selects those that pass the initial screening for personal interviews. Each Committee member completes a ranking form that ranks all candidates interviewed and the directors standing for re-election. Based on the scores received by each individual, the nominees are selected for recommendation to the Board of Directors. Directors Heenan and Lucien are standing for re-election at the 2007 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. Mr. Heenan excused himself during discussions of his candidacy and current performance as a director. Mr. Gilburne was recommended to the Nominating and Governance Committee for consideration as a director by David C. Cole, Chairman, President and CEO of the Company.

Director Compensation

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION
Year Ended December 31, 2006

(1)          Grant date fair value (computed in accordance with FAS 123R) of stock awards vesting in 2006.

(2)          Unvested stock awards as of December 31, 2006.

Narrative to Director Compensation Table

In 2006, all non-employee directors received an annual cash retainer fee of $30,000 (prorated for Director Haruki who was appointed to the Board effective March 13, 2006). The Company has an executive deferred compensation plan in which all of the executive officers and directors are eligible to

11

---

participate. Messrs. Agee, Gottlieb, Heenan and Lucien have elected to participate in this plan. Under this plan, these directors can defer up to 100% of the annual cash retainer until termination of their Board membership. Earnings on compensation deferred under this plan are tied to the performance of mutual funds, which are substantially the same funds as those in the Company’s 401(k) plan, and do not earn interest at a fixed rate.

Non-employee directors are also granted restricted Common Stock (“Restricted Shares”) that vest at 250 shares each quarter covering the term of the director’s current membership. The Restricted Shares are granted under the Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. 2006 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan (and prior to the 2006 Annual Meeting, under the 2003 Stock and Incentive Plan), to the director at the time he or she is elected, re-elected or appointed to the Board. The number of shares granted to each director equals the number of calendar quarters or portions thereof in his term multiplied by 250 shares. The directors have voting and regular dividend rights with respect to the unvested restricted shares, but have no right to dispose of them until such time as they are vested. Each unvested Restricted Share is forfeited upon the director’s termination of his position as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company for any reason.

In 2006, Directors Dods and Trotter were each granted 3,000 Restricted Shares under the Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. 2006 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan, upon their election as Class One directors for the three-year term that ends in 2009. The fair value at the date of grant was the closing price of our Common Stock on May 8, 2006 of $38.04 per share. Upon his appointment to the Board of Directors on March 13, 2006, Mr. Haruki was granted 2,250 Restricted Shares under the Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. 2003 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan. The fair value at the date of grant was the closing price of our Common Stock on March 13, 2006 of $37.42 per share.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

No member of the Compensation Committee during fiscal year 2006 served as an officer, former officer or employee of the Company or any of its subsidiaries. Also see “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions.”  During fiscal year 2006, no executive officer of the Company served as a member of the compensation committee of any other entity, one of whose executive officers served as a member of the Company’s Board of Directors or Compensation Committee, and no executive officer of the Company served as a member of the board of directors of any other entity, one of whose executive officers served as a member of the Company’s Compensation Committee.

PROPOSAL 2

RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Deloitte & Touche LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, has been the independent auditor of the Company for many years, and is considered by management to be well qualified. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has appointed Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm of the Company for fiscal year 2007. A representative of Deloitte & Touche LLP is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting and will be given an opportunity to make a statement. The representative also will be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Shareholder ratification of the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm is not required by the Company’s bylaws or otherwise. However, the Board is submitting the selection of Deloitte & Touche LLP to the shareholders for ratification as a matter of corporate practice. If the shareholders fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee will reconsider whether or not to retain that firm. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent registered public accounting firm at any time

12

---

during the year if the Audit Committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT SHAREHOLDERS VOTE “FOR” RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF DELOITTE & TOUCHE LLP AS THE COMPANY’S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR FISCAL 2007.

AUDIT MATTERS

The Committee discussed with the independent auditors the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 61, “Communications with Audit Committees,” as amended by SAS Nos. 89 and 90, and as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board Rule 3600T.

Based on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that the Company’s audited financial statements be included in the Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006.

Audit Committee:

Kent T. Lucien (Chairman)
Thomas M. Gottlieb
David A. Heenan

The above Report of the Audit Committee does not constitute soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other Company filing, whether under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, whether made on, before or after the date of this Proxy Statement and irrespective of any general incorporation language in such filing, except to the extent the Company specifically incorporates this Report by reference therein.

INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

Fees for services performed for the Company by Deloitte & Touche LLP for 2006 and 2005, including expenses incurred in connection with these services, are as follows:

 

The audit fees are primarily attributable to professional services rendered for the audits of the Company’s annual financial statements for the fiscal years ended December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively, the reviews of the Company’s financial statements included in its Quarterly Reports on

13

---

Form 10-Q, and the audit of the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting and management’s assessment of such controls.

The audit-related fees for 2006 and 2005 includes services for the audits of the Company’s defined benefit and defined contribution pension plans and for various audit related consultations. The fees for tax services relate to professional services rendered for tax compliance and various tax consultations.

The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of theses services by Deloitte & Touche LLP is compatible with maintaining the independence of Deloitte & Touche LLP, and has determined that the provision of such services by Deloitte & Touche LLP has not adversely affected the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence.

Audit Committee Policy—Approval of Fees

It is the policy of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors that all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and related fees paid to the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm must be approved in advance by the Audit Committee.

PROPOSAL 3
AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION

The Articles of Association presently state that the amount of the authorized capital stock of the corporation is 9,000,000 shares of Common Stock. The amendment to the Articles would increase the authorized capital stock by 14,000,000 shares from 9,000,000 to 23,000,000 shares of Common Stock.

As of March 1, 2007, of the 9,000,000 currently authorized shares of Common Stock, there were (i) 7,636,667shares of the outstanding, of which 4,200 shares were held by Honolua Plantation Land Company, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary, (ii) 821,833 shares subject to outstanding and unexercised options to acquire Common Stock, and (iii) 452,500 reserved for issuance under the Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. 2006 Equity and Incentive Compensation Plan. The Company’s Board of Directors believes that it is advisable and in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to amend the Articles of Association in order to have available additional authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock in an amount adequate to provide for the future needs of the company.

Purpose of the change in authorized shares

The purpose of this proposed increase in authorized shares is to make available additional shares of Common Stock for issuance for general corporate purposes, including financing activities, without the requirement of further action by the shareholders of the Company. The Board of Directors has considered potential uses of the additional authorized shares of Common Stock, which may include seeking additional equity financing through public or private offerings, establishing additional employee or director equity compensation plans or arrangements, using the Company’s shares for business acquisitions, or for other general corporate purposes. Increasing the authorized number of shares of Common Stock will provide the Company with greater flexibility and allow the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock in most cases without the expense or delay of seeking further approval from the shareholders. The Company is at all times investigating additional sources of financing which the Board of Directors believes will be in the Company’s best interests and in the best interests of the shareholders of the Company.

The proposed additional shares of Common Stock would be a part of the existing class of the Company’s Common Stock and, if and when issued, would have the same rights and privileges as the shares of Common Stock presently issued and outstanding. No additional action or authorization by the shareholders would be necessary prior to the issuance of the additional shares unless required by applicable law or regulation, our Articles of Association or the rules of the American Stock Exchange, if applicable.

Effect of Having Authorized but Unissued Shares

The issuance of additional shares of Common Stock in the future may, among other things, dilute earnings per share, stockholders’ equity, and voting rights. The issuance of additional shares, or the perception that additional shares may be issued, may also adversely effect the market price of Common Stock. The availability for issuance of additional shares of Common Stock also have the effect of rendering more difficult or discouraging any attempts by other parties to obtain control of the Company. For example, the issuance of shares of Common Stock in a public or private sale, merger, or similar transaction would increase the number of outstanding shares, thereby diluting the interest of a party attempting to obtain control of the Company. The Company is not aware of any existing or planned effort on the part of any party to accumulate material amounts of voting stock, or to acquire the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, solicitation of proxies in opposition to management or otherwise, or to change the Company’s management, nor is the Company aware of any person having made any offer to acquire the voting stock or assets of the company.

15

---

The Board of Directors has approved the amendment of the Company’s Articles to increase the number of shares of authorized Common Stock by 14,000,000 shares. This change to the Articles is included in the Articles of Amendment that are attached to this Proxy Statement as Appendix “A.”  The Articles of Amendment would become effective upon their filing with the Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs of the State of Hawaii.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” PROPOSAL NO. 3 TO APPROVE THE AMENDMENT TO THE ARTICLES OF ASSOCIATION TO INCREASED OUR AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK FROM 9,000,000 TO 23,000,000 SHARES OF COMMON STOCK.

OTHER MATTERS

The Board knows of no other matters that may be brought before the meeting. However, if any other matters are properly brought before the meeting, the persons named in the enclosed proxy or their substitutes will vote in accordance with their best judgment on such matters, and discretionary authority to do so is included in the proxy.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Compensation Overview

Compensation for the Company’s executives and key employees is designed to attract and retain people who share the vision and values of the Company and who can execute to achieve our strategic goals. This Company has a very knowledgeable employee base in addition to valuable land and brand assets, and the executive talent that we have sought over the past several years are people capable of leveraging the skills of our employees and our unique assets to increase shareholder value. In short, the Company’s goal is to become the employer of choice in the markets where the Company competes.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

The Company operates in a challenging business environment where housing is expensive, quality schools are scarce, and base salaries are generally insufficient to secure home mortgages for current and potential employees.  This lack of purchasing power has a material impact on the Company’s ability to attract and retain employees in their prime earning and childbearing years—a critical objective as the bulk of the Company’s workforce is approaching retirement while the employment needs of our Resort and Community Development segments are expected to grow significantly in the coming years.

The Company has therefore developed a multifaceted compensation philosophy focused on building purchasing power for current and future employees by increasing earning potential while decreasing the cost of housing and education.  To increase earning potential, the Company uses base salaries supplemented by long-term equity compensation and performance-based annual cash and/or equity incentives. To increase employee purchasing power, the Company uses a portion of its land resources to subsidize housing and, in 2004, the Company granted land and underwrote infrastructure costs to establish a private K-12 school where the Company provides tuition assistance for qualifying children and grandchildren of employees.

18

---

The Company also believes that recognition and training programs are vitally important for recruiting and retaining talent, as investments in these programs reflect the Company’s commitment to continuous improvement and employee development.

The Role of the Compensation Committee

The Compensation Committee has the primary authority to determine the Company’s compensation philosophy and to establish compensation for the Company’s Named Executive Officers. To establish compensation packages for each Named Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee evaluates a variety of sources of information. In March 2006, the Compensation Committee engaged Towers Perrin, a well-known consulting firm specializing in executive compensation, to review the compensation package of David C. Cole, Chairman, President & CEO of the Company, and to prepare a “competitive compensation analysis” of our other executive officers. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer also aids the Compensation Committee by providing annual recommendations regarding the compensation of all executive officers, other than himself. In addition, each Named Executive Officer and other senior executive management team members participate in an annual performance review with our Chief Executive Officer to provide input about his or her contributions to the Company’s success for the period being assessed.

Total Compensation for Executive Officers

The compensation packages offered to Named Executive Officers are comprised of one or more of the following elements:

·       base salary;

·       annual bonus incentives;

·       long-term equity incentive compensation;

·       subsidized housing programs;

·       subsidized education programs; and

·       retirement and other benefits.

Each of these components is described in more detail below.

Base Salary

The Company provides Named Executive Officers and other employees with base salary to compensate them for services rendered during the fiscal year. The purpose of base salary is to reflect job responsibilities, value to the Company and competitiveness of the market. Minimum salaries for the Named Executive Officers are determined by the Compensation Committee based on the nature and responsibility of the position, and to the extent available, salary norms for comparable positions; the expertise of the individual executive; the competitiveness of the market for the executive’s services; and the recommendations of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.

In March 2006, based upon the recommendation of Towers Perrin, the Compensation Committee approved a $100,000 base pay increase for Mr. Cole to bring him up to the 70th percentile of executives in similar positions. The Committee also approved a $50,000 bonus payable in October 2006, 100,000 of performance-based restricted shares to vest from 2007 – 2009, and 200,000 stock options vesting over the three year period from October 2006 to October 2009. See “Employment Agreements—David C. Cole.”

Towers Perrin also prepared a competitive compensation analysis of our other executive officers, which aided in the Compensation Committee’s determination of compensation packages for such individuals. In 2006, the minimum salary for Robert I. Webber, Chief Financial Officer & Senior Vice President/Business Development, was determined by our employment agreement with him when he was hired as of May 1, 2006. See “Employment Agreements—Robert I. Webber.”

19

The Compensation Committee annually reviews the compensation arrangements of our other executive officers, and will typically consider the recommendations of Mr. Cole in making compensation decisions regarding such officers.

Annual Bonus Incentives

It is the Company’s objective to have a substantial portion of each Named Executive Officer’s compensation contingent upon the Company’s performance as well as upon his or her own level of performance and contribution towards the Company’s performance. In addition, the achievement of specific goals is intended to correlate with long-term shareholder value.

Early in each year, the Compensation Committee establishes Company performance measures and individual performance measures for each business segment. For the business segments, the bonus plans are keyed to the achievement of metrics that are specific to each business segment and cover the top level of divisional management through lower supervisory levels. The plans are designed to align all levels of management and supervisors in the business segment with common goals. Bonus incentives for the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer are based on overall Company performance. The annual bonus is payable in cash, restricted stock or both.

Long-Term Equity Compensation

The Compensation Committee believes that long-term stock compensation is a valuable employee retention tool, encourages the participants to focus on long-term Company performance and provides an opportunity for executives and key employees to increase their stake in the Company through grants with duration of three to five years. The Company’s stock compensation program also aims to align the executive’s interest with those of the shareholders by enhancing the link between creation of shareholder value and long-term executive incentive compensation. Generally, employees at a director level and above are awarded non-qualified stock options. All awards of stock options are made at or above the market price of the underlying stock at the time of the award. Restricted stock based on performance goals are awarded based on the Compensation Committee’s qualitative perception of exceptional performance by and the potential for contribution by specific executives. The authority to make stock compensation grants rests with the Compensation Committee, subject to ratification by the full Board of Directors.

Housing

The Company has periodically commissioned housing projects and has offered Company owned land and housing to employees and executives.  In the last three years, the Company has initiated several projects where employees are expected to have preferred access to both rental and for sale units, subject to state and county government approvals.

Education

In 2004, the Company donated approximately 15 acres of land and improvements to establish Maui Preparatory Academy (“MPA”) to serve employees and residents on West Maui. Subsequent to the donation, the Company has provided several million dollars of infrastructure improvements in and around MPA’s campus. In addition, the Company offers a matching tuition grant to dependents of employees, including several executives in the Company’s Resort and Community Development units.

Retirement Plans

The Company currently has defined benefit pension plans covering most of its employees including the executive officers. The defined benefit pension plan is not a large benefit to most of our named executive officers because most do not have a long prior employment with the Company. In addition, the Company offers pre-tax saving plans (401k) to all full time employees and a non-qualified executive

20

---

deferred compensation plan allowing deferral of salary and bonus for executives and certain levels of management and deferral of cash compensation paid to the Board of Directors.

Tax and Accounting Implications

The Compensation Committee is also responsible for considering the deductibility of executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, which provides that the Company may not deduct compensation of more than $1,000,000 that is paid to its executive officers. The Company believes that except for 2003 stock awards to David C. Cole, the compensation paid under the management incentive plans are fully deductible for federal income tax purposes. In certain situations, the Committee may approve compensation that will not meet the requirements for deductibility in order to ensure competitive levels of compensation for its executives and to meet the obligations of the Company under the terms of various incentive programs.

The American Jobs Creation Act of 2004 changed the tax rules applicable to nonqualified deferred compensation arrangements. Pursuant to these new rules, in 2006 the Company amended stock option agreements for David Cole and Brian Nishida to increase the exercise prices of their stock options to the fair market value on the day the executive began employment with the Company (date of grant). The exercise price in these option agreements had been set in 2003 when the Company negotiated the recruitment of these executives. The Compensation Committee approved a discretionary cash bonus for Mr. Nishida of $149,000 with the intent to compensate him for the loss in value of his stock options. Mr. Cole lost over $1,000,000 of value from the amendment of his stock option agreement. Therefore, the Compensation Committee agreed in principal that Mr. Cole should be compensated for this loss, but elected to defer consideration of a bonus to a later date, and in February 2007, after a review of Mr. Cole’s total current compensation package, the Compensation Committee approved the payment of $1,053,000 to Mr. Cole to compensate him for the loss in value of his stock option agreement.

Severance and change in control benefits

These benefits have been handled on a case by case basis as is deemed important to the executive involved, and the benefit usually takes the form of cash payments or acceleration of stock grants. See “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control”.

Report of the Compensation Committee on Executive Compensation

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management and based on such review and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Proxy Statement.

Compensation Committee:

Walter A. Dods, Jr. (Chairman)
John H. Agee
Duncan MacNaughton

The above Report of the Compensation Committee does not constitute soliciting material and should not be deemed filed or incorporated by reference into any other Company filing, whether under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, whether made on, before or after the date of this Proxy Statement and irrespective of any general incorporation language in such filing, except to the extent the Company specifically incorporates this Report by reference therein.

Employment Agreements:   The Company has employment agreements with David C. Cole and Robert I. Webber.

David C. Cole.   Mr. Cole has an Employment Agreement with the Company (the “Employment Agreement”) to serve as President and Chief Executive Officer, effective October 15, 2003, continuing for an indefinite term at the pleasure of the Board of Directors (the “Board”). Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Cole was appointed as a director upon the approval by the shareholders, in December 2003, of the expansion of the size of the Board. He was appointed Chairman of the Board in March 2004.

The Employment Agreement included a base salary of $450,000 per year, with his performance to be reviewed annually by the Board to determine if an increase is warranted. In April 2006, after reviewing Mr. Coles Employment Agreement and a study of Mr. Cole’s position by an outside compensation consulting firm, the Compensation Committee increased Mr. Cole’s base salary by $100,000; and a $50,000 bonus payable in October 2006, 100,000 of performance-based restricted shares to vest from 2007—2009, and 200,000 stock options vesting over the three year period from October 2006 to October 2009. See “Summary Compensation Table” and “Grants of Plan-Based Awards”.

In connection with his employment agreement, Mr. Cole also has entered into a Restricted Share Agreement (the “Restricted Share Agreement”) and a Stock Option Agreement (the “Option Agreement”) with the Company, pursuant to which the Company issued to Mr. Cole 100,000 shares of restricted stock and 200,000 nonqualified stock options in December 2003. The Restricted Stock Agreement is further described below. See “Outstanding Equity Awards” table.

Mr. Cole’s employment will continue at the pleasure of the Board until terminated with or without cause by the Board or by his death, disability, voluntary resignation or resignation for good reason. If Mr. Cole’s employment is terminated due to his death or disability, he (or his estate) will be entitled to his salary earned through the termination date, the right to exercise vested options for a year following termination, any vested restricted shares (including, if he dies or is disabled after June 30 of 2005, 2006 or 2007, a pro rata amount based on the portion of the period he served), and any other vested employment benefits. If Mr. Cole’s employment is terminated for “cause,” he will be entitled only to salary earned through the date of termination, any vested restricted shares, and any other vested employee benefits. If Mr. Cole’s employment is terminated without “cause” or he resigns for “good reason,” he will be entitled to a severance payment of $450,000, in addition to any salary earned through the date of termination or resignation, the immediate vesting of all unvested restricted shares and stock options, and the right to exercise vested options for six months following termination, in addition to all other amounts earned or accrued but not paid and any vested employee benefits. See “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control—David C. Cole.”

Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, “cause” includes: a breach of the Employment Agreement by Mr. Cole that is not cured after 15 days notice; a failure or refusal to carry out the Board’s policies; a material and intentional or grossly negligent breach of the duty of care or a willful or grossly negligent breach of the duty of loyalty resulting in a material injury to the Company or its shareholders; a conviction or plea of guilty or no contest to any crime for which imprisonment is a possibility or which results in a fine or penalty by the Company; or any knowing violation of a law or regulation that results in a fine or penalty to the Company exceeding $50,000 or a judgment of $1,000,000 or more.

23

---

A resignation for “good reason” includes a resignation within 180 days after: a material breach of the Employment Agreement by the Company; material interference by the Company with Mr. Cole’s access to the Board; a decrease in title or compensation or a material decrease in authority; or a “Change in Control” of the Company. For these purposes, a “Change in Control” includes:

·       if any person or group (other than an existing shareholder or group of shareholders or their affiliates) beneficially owns more than 30% of the total voting power of the Company’s stock on a fully diluted basis, and such beneficial ownership represents a greater percentage of the total voting power of the Company’s stock, on a fully diluted basis, than is held by any existing shareholder or group, together with their respective affiliates;

·       if a majority of the Board comes to consist of those who are not members on the date of the Employment Agreement, or were not nominated or elected by two-thirds of such directors;

·       a merger or consolidation of the Company after which one or more of the current shareholders retains less than 60% of the voting shares of the surviving entity;

·       the sale or transfer, not recommended by Mr. Cole of 50% or more of the Company’s assets; or

·       the Company’s approval and implementation of a plan of liquidation or dissolution or the filing of a bankruptcy petition.

Mr. Cole will be entitled to indemnity pursuant to applicable law and the Company’s current Bylaws and resolutions in effect as to the most favorably indemnified officer or director, or if more favorable, the terms of such Bylaws or resolutions as may later become effective. Mr. Cole will comply with the Company’s existing policies on conflicts of interest and business ethics, and will have standard confidentiality and invention assignment obligations. For a one-year period after Mr. Cole’s employment is terminated, he agrees not to solicit or encourage Company employees or contractors to leave the Company (without Board approval), or to solicit or encourage current or prospective customers to cease or reduce their business with the Company.

Under the Restricted Share Agreement, Mr. Cole’s 100,000 shares of restricted stock will vest at the rate of up to 25,000 shares per fiscal year from 2004 through 2007, subject to the achievement of certain agreed performance measures. With respect to fiscal year 2006 performance measures, there were no restricted shares vested (see note 1 to “Outstanding Equity Awards” table below); 14,175 and 25,000 shares, respectively, of restricted stock were vested by the Compensation Committee with respect to 2005 and 2004 performance measures. See “Stock Vested” table. An additional 25,000-share block will be subject to vesting for fiscal year 2007. The number of shares vested will be determined based on the Company’s achievement of a minimum return on equity (i.e., net income after tax, exclusive of extraordinary items such as discontinued operations, asset sales outside the ordinary course of business, and major impairment losses, divided by beginning shareholders’ equity, all in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, unless otherwise agreed), of 10%, with maximum vesting at 20%. The number of shares vested would be calculated on a straight-line basis between the minimum and the maximum. In addition, if any shares do not vest in any year under this calculation, then they would be available for additional vesting based on the Company’s average return on equity beginning in 2005. For example, assuming that for fiscal year 2005 the Company’s return on equity is 15%,  then 50% of the 25,000 share block for 2005, or 12,500 shares, would vest. However, assuming that for fiscal years 2005 and 2006 the average return on equity was 16%, then an additional 10% of the 25,000 share block for 2005, or 2,500 shares, would vest, in addition to whatever other shares vested for fiscal year 2006. Any nonvested restricted shares generally will be forfeited if Mr. Cole’s employment is terminated or if not vested in accordance with this schedule, except that any nonvested shares will vest immediately if Mr. Cole is terminated without cause, or if he resigns with good reason. However, if Mr. Cole dies or is disabled after

24

---

June 30 of 2005, 2006 or 2007, the number of shares that vest according to the above calculations will be prorated based on the portion of the period served.

Memorandum Agreement:   On August 23, 2005, Mr. Cole and Mr. Stephen M. Case, a significant shareholder of the Company, formed Aquaterra Partners, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, pursuant to a Memorandum Agreement between them dated July 29, 2005, for the purpose of making investments. Mr. Case contributed $1,990,000 through his nominee, ALPS Investment, LLC, and Mr. Cole contributed $100,000. Aquaterra Partners is managed by Aquaterra Corporation, a Delaware corporation owned by Mr. Cole. Under the terms of the Memorandum Agreement, the first $2,090,000 of Aquaterra Partner’s income will be allocated to Mr. Cole, after which all other income will  be divided equally between ALPS Investment, LLC, and Mr. Cole. The Memorandum Agreement replaced an agreement dated August 12, 2003 in which Mr. Cole was granted the right to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company by the Stephen M. Case Revocable Trust.

Robert I. Webber.  Mr. Webber has an Employment Agreement with the Company to serve as its Chief Financial Officer and Senior Vice President of Business Development.  The term of the agreement is from May 1, 2006 to April 30, 2008.  The material terms of the Employment Agreement include an annual first year salary of $300,000 with a $50,000 sign on bonus and a $50,000 guaranteed first year incentive payment after one year of employment. See “Summary Compensation Table.” Beginning the second year of employment and every year thereafter, the bonus shall be based upon the achievement of criteria and in amounts as set forth in a bonus plan established by the Compensation Committee, with the understanding that, barring unforeseen business issues, Mr. Webber’s annual incentive payment shall be a minimum of $50,000.  His annual salary for year two will be $350,000 with any annual incentive pay to be negotiated.  Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Webber was granted options to purchase 25,000 shares of common stock (at the closing market price of MLP on May 8, 2006) that will vest at 20% per year over a 5-year period, and 25,000 shares of restricted stock that will vest over a 5-year period based upon certain performance metrics.  Up to 5,000 Shares shall vest following each of the fiscal years ending December 31, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010 provided, that the performance criteria for the applicable fiscal year is achieved, as determined in the sole and complete discretion of the Committee.  See “Grant of Plan-Based Awards” and note 1 to “Outstanding Equity Awards.” The performance criteria with respect to fiscal years ending December 31, 2006 and 2007 are identical to the performance criteria described above under the Restricted Share Agreement for David C. Cole.  Specific performance criteria for fiscal years 2008, 2009 and 2010 shall be established by the Compensation Committee prior to the end of the first quarter of each fiscal year, as applicable.

If terminated from employment for any reason other than “cause,” Mr. Webber will receive one year of base salary as separation pay and the vesting of all stock options (but not unvested restricted stock) will be accelerated.  In addition, Mr. Webber will be eligible to participate in all Company benefit programs and will be entitled to up to $36,000 annually as a supplemental cash payment. See “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control—Robert I. Webber.”

Pension Benefits

PENSION BENEFITS
As of December 31, 2006

(1)          Credited Benefit Service counts from date of plan participation, which is the first day of the month coincident with or next following one year of employment.

(2)          Assumptions:

(3)          As of 12/31/06, Mr. Webber is not a participant in the Pension Plan for Non-Bargaining Unit Employees nor the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan because he has not yet accrued one year of eligibility service.

30

Compensation covered by the Pension Plan for Non-Bargaining Unit Employees (Pension Plan) and the Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (SERP) is generally only base salary. Retirement benefits are computed based on each participant’s years of credited service at the Company, age, earnings and retirement date, and are not subject to any deduction for social security or other offset amounts. Normal retirement age for participants is 65 with provisions for retirement as early as 55. Benefits are payable as a qualified joint and survivor annuity with options for benefits in other annuity forms. Vesting is 100% after five years of service. When the benefits of an employee under the pension plan are reduced because of (1) the maximum annual benefit limitation or (2) the maximum compensation limitation, the SERP provides an additional benefit to make up the difference.

The Pension Plan and the SERP provide for early retirement benefits for participants who are at least fifty-five years of age and have at least five years of eligibility service. At December 31, 2006, Mr. McNatt is the only Named Executive Officer who meets the eligibility service requirement and his annual early retirement benefit from the Pension Plan and the SERP would be approximately $19,900.

Nonqualified Defined contribution and Other Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION
As of and for the Year Ended December 31, 2006

 

The Company maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan whereby management employees, including all of the executive officers, can make pre-tax deferral of up to 30% of their salary and 100% of any cash bonus. Monies deferred are payable to the plan participant upon termination of employment or retirement, and may be distributed as a lump-sum or over a specified installment period. Earnings on compensation deferred under this plan are tied to the performance of mutual funds, which are substantially the same funds as those in the Company’s 401(k) plan, and do not earn interest at a fixed rate.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control

The amounts shown assume that termination occurred on December 31, 2006 and include amounts earned, but not paid as of that date and hypothetical additional amounts, if any, assuming termination. Termination benefits available generally to all salaried employees are not included.

David C. Cole.   Termination payments are agreed to pursuant to his employment agreement, which is summarized above. See “—Employment Agreement for David C. Cole.

Robert I. Webber.   Termination payments are agreed to pursuant to his employment agreement, which is summarized above. See “—Employment Agreement for Robert I. Webber.

Fred W. Rickert.   Mr. Rickert has two restricted share agreements with the Company; one for a grant of 24,000 shares on September 23, 2004 pursuant to the Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. 2003 Stock and Incentive Compensation Plan; and the other for a grant of 6,000 shares on May 8, 2006 pursuant to the 2006 Equity and Incentive Award Plan. Both agreements provide that if there is a “change in control” and if within 180 days, Mr. Rickert voluntarily resigns from employment or is terminated from employment without “cause” any unvested restricted shares will become vested. For the purpose of these agreements, “change in control” and “cause” are substantially similar to the definition in Mr. Cole’s Employment Agreement.
