Item 8.01               Other Events.

 

On April 19, 2011, Hawaiian Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission a definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A (the “Proxy Statement”) relating to its Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on May 31, 2011.  Subsequent to such filing, the Company learned that Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. (“ISS”) had recommended that the Company stockholders withhold their votes for the re-election of Crystal K. Rose as a director of the Company because ISS, based on its reading of the Proxy Statement, believed that Ms. Rose attended fewer than 75% of the aggregate of all board and committee meetings that she was obligated to attend.   The Company hereby clarifies and confirms that Ms. Rose did in fact attend more than 75% of the aggregate of all board and committee meetings that she was obligated to attend, and in fact attended more than 91% of all such meetings.

 

The Company understands that, given this clarification, ISS will reconsider its recommendation with respect to the re-election of Ms. Rose.
