PART III — NARRATIVE

 

Hawaiian Electric Industries, Inc. and Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. (together, the “Companies”) are unable, without unreasonable effort or expense, to file their Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 (“Third Quarter 10-Q”) within the prescribed time period due to the circumstances described below.  On November 8, 2023, Hawaii Governor Josh Green announced the One ‘Ohana Initiative (the “Initiative”) which, among other things, provides a potential path to the resolution of wrongful death and serious physical injury claims made against the Companies and other defendants as a result of the August 8, 2023 Maui windstorm and wildfires.  Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc. has announced that it will contribute up to $75 million to the fund being established by the Initiative towards the resolution of these claims, all of which the Companies’ insurers have committed in writing to pay.  At this time, however, none of the lawsuits against the Companies described above have been resolved in any way, and there is no estimate of what, if any, claims may be resolved.  The announcement of the Initiative and the anticipated contribution require changes to the financial statements that the Companies otherwise expected to file as part of the Third Quarter 10-Q, and those changes cannot be completed, without unreasonable effort and expense, within the one day before the filing deadline.  The Companies expect to finalize their financial statements and file the related Third Quarter 10-Q on or before the fifth calendar day following the November 9, 2023 due date.

 

 

Forward-Looking Statements

 

This Form 12b-25 contains “forward-looking statements,” which include statements that are predictive in nature, depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, and usually include words such as “will,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “predicts,” “estimates” or similar expressions. This includes the statement about the Companies’ expected timing for the filing of the Third Quarter 10-Q. Forward-looking statements are based on current expectations and projections about future events and are subject to risks, uncertainties and the accuracy of assumptions concerning the Companies and their subsidiaries, the performance of the industries in which they do business and economic, political and market factors, among other things. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance.

These forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of the report, presentation or filing in which they are made. Except to the extent required by the federal securities laws, the Companies and their subsidiaries undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
