PART II
INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN THE PROSPECTUS
ADOPTION OF REGISTRATION STATEMENT
Pacific Century Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation, as the
successor issuer to Pacific Century Financial Corporation, a Hawaii corporation,
adopts this registration statement for all purposes of the Securities Act of
1933 (the "Securities Act") and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 pursuant to
Securities Act Rule 414. All references in such registration statement to the
issuer's common stock shall be deemed to refer to the registrant's common stock,
par value $0.01 per share. In connection with such succession, Item 15 of
Part II of this registration statement is amended as set forth below.
ITEM 15. INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL")
authorizes a Delaware corporation to indemnify its directors, officers,
employees and agents against certain liabilities and expenses they may incur in
such capacities, and provides that such persons have a right to indemnification
against expenses where they have been successful on the merits or otherwise in
defense of certain types of actions or any claim, issue or matter therein. The
indemnification provided by Section 145 is not exclusive of any other
indemnification rights that may exist under any bylaw, agreement, vote of
shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. Article VI of the
registrant's bylaws require that the registrant indemnify and hold harmless, to
the fullest extent permitted by applicable law (including circumstances in which
indemnification is otherwise discretionary) any person who was or is made or is
threatened to be made a party to or is otherwise involved in any action, suit or
proceeding by reason of the fact that such person is or was a director or
officer of the registrant or is or was serving at its request as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation or of a partnership, joint
venture, trust, enterprise or nonprofit entity (including service with respect
to employee benefit plans) against all liability and loss suffered and expenses
(including attorneys' fees) reasonably incurred by such person. In addition,
the registrant maintains insurance under which its directors, officers and
employees and agents are insured against certain liabilities. Also, the
registrant's Certificate of Incorporation includes provisions which eliminate
the personal liability of registrant's directors for monetary damages resulting
from breaches of their fiduciary duty of care, provided that such provision does
not eliminate liability for breaches of the duty of loyalty, acts or omissions
not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation
of law, violations of Sections 174 of the DGCL (concerning the wilful or
negligent violation of statutory provisions precluding payment of certain
dividends and certain stock purchases or redemptions) or for any other
transactions from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.
