<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0">&#8239;</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in">The Company is
incorporated under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the &#8220;DGCL&#8221;). Section&#8239;145 of the DGCL provides that a
corporation organized thereunder may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses
(including attorneys&#8217; fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person
in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason
of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent to the corporation. The DGCL provides that
Section&#8239;145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement,
vote of the Company&#8217;s stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. The Company&#8217;s amended and restated bylaws
provide for indemnification of its directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, subject to limited
exceptions.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0pt 0; text-align: left; text-indent: 0.5in">Section&#8239;102(b)(7)&#8239;of
the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally
liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i)&#8239;for
any breach of the director&#8217;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii)&#8239;for acts or omissions not in good
faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&#8239;for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful
stock purchases, redemptions or other distributions or (iv)&#8239;for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit. The Company&#8217;s amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for such limitation of liability. The Company
maintains policies of insurance under which coverage is provided (a)&#8239;to its directors and officers, in their respective capacities
as such, against loss arising from a claim made for any actual or alleged wrongful act, and (b)&#8239;to the Company with respect to payments
which the Company may make to such officers and directors pursuant to the above indemnification as a matter of law.</P>

such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification
by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.</P>

EXPLANATORY
NOTE
On
April 22, 2025 (the "Effective Date"), at the 2025 annual meeting of stockholders of First Hawaiian, Inc. (the "Company"
or "Registrant"), the Company's stockholders approved the First Hawaiian, Inc. 2025 Omnibus Incentive Compensation
Plan (the "2025 Equity Plan"), which the Board of Directors of the Company had previously approved, subject to stockholder
approval. The 2025 Equity Plan provides, among other things, that a total of 4,750,000 shares of the Company's common stock, par
value $0.01 (the "Common Stock"), is reserved for issuance under the 2025 Equity Plan (subject to equitable adjustment in
the event of a change in the Company's capitalization).
Shares subject to awards under the 2025 Equity Plan that subsequently
expire unexercised or that are forfeited or settled in cash will be available for future grants of awards under the 2025 Equity Plan and
will be added back in the same number of shares as were deducted in respect of the grant of such award.
Upon
stockholder approval of the 2025 Equity Plan, the 2025 Equity Plan replaced the First Hawaiian, Inc. 2016 Omnibus Incentive Compensation
Plan (the "Prior Plan"), and no additional awards will be made under the Prior Plan. This Registration Statement
on
Form S-8 (this "Registration Statement") is filed by the Company to register 4,750,000 shares of Common Stock for issuance
under the 2025 Equity Plan.

Item 4. Description of Securities
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
The Company is
incorporated under the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL"). Section 145 of the DGCL provides that a
corporation organized thereunder may indemnify directors and officers as well as other employees and individuals against expenses
(including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by such person
in connection with any threatened, pending or completed actions, suits or proceedings in which such person is made a party by reason
of such person being or having been a director, officer, employee or agent to the corporation. The DGCL provides that
Section 145 is not exclusive of other rights to which those seeking indemnification may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement,
vote of the Company's stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise. The Company's amended and restated bylaws
provide for indemnification of its directors, officers and employees to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, subject to limited
exceptions.
Section 102(b)(7) of
the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally
liable to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for
any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good
faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for unlawful payments of dividends or unlawful
stock purchases, redemptions or other distributions or (iv) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal
benefit. The Company's amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides for such limitation of liability. The Company
maintains policies of insurance under which coverage is provided (a) to its directors and officers, in their respective capacities
as such, against loss arising from a claim made for any actual or alleged wrongful act, and (b) to the Company with respect to payments
which the Company may make to such officers and directors pursuant to the above indemnification as a matter of law.

file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i)              To
include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)             To
reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-
effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the
registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value
of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate,
the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation
of Filing Fee Tables" in the effective registration statement; and
(iii)            To
include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any
material change to such information in the Registration Statement;
provided
,
however
, that paragraphs (1)(i) and (1)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective
amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13
or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
(2)            That,
for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new
registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to
be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(3)            To
remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination
of the offering.
(b)            The
undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the
registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable,
each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated
by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein,
and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
(c)            Insofar
as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of
the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a
claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director,
officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director,
officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel
the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification
by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
