Re: Application for Withdrawal of Registration Statement on Form S-3
(File No. 333-207637)
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Bank of Hawaii Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) hereby requests that its Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-207637), originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on October 28, 2015 (the “Registration Statement”), together with all exhibits thereto, be withdrawn, with such withdrawal to be effective as of the date hereof pursuant to Rule 477 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).
The Company is hereby requesting withdrawal of the Registration Statement because of a filing error relating to the EDGAR coding. The Registration Statement was incorrectly coded and filed as an “S-3”, whereas the Company intended the Registration Statement to be filed with the Commission with the code “S-3ASR”. No securities were sold pursuant to the Registration Statement.
If you have any questions regarding the foregoing application for withdrawal, please telephone Mark A. Rossi, Vice Chairman and General Counsel of the Company, at (808) 694-8822 or Brian B. DeFoe of Lane Powell PC at (206) 223-7948.
Respectfully,
/s/ Mark A. Rossi
Mark A. Rossi
Vice Chairman and General Counsel
