ITEM 8.01. OTHER EVENTS

On November 13, 2018, Central Pacific Financial Corp. (the "Company"), submitted a notice to the trustee and security holder to redeem, in whole and at par, $20 million of floating rate trust preferred securities issued by CPB Capital Trust II, a Delaware statutory trust ("Trust II"). The trust preferred securities are being redeemed, along with $0.6 million in common securities issued by Trust II and held by the Company, as a result of the concurrent redemption of 100% of the Company's outstanding floating rate junior subordinated debentures due in October 2033 and held by Trust II, which underlie the trust preferred securities. The redemption is pursuant to the optional prepayment provisions of the indenture and is scheduled to occur on January 7, 2019.

The redemption price for the floating rate junior subordinated debentures will be equal to 100% of the principal amount plus accrued interest, if any, up to, but not including, the redemption date. The proceeds from the redemption of the floating rate junior subordinated debentures will be simultaneously applied to redeem all of the outstanding floating rate trust preferred securities at a price of 100% of the aggregate liquidation amount of the securities plus accumulated but unpaid distributions up to but not including the redemption date.

The Company has received all necessary regulatory approvals for the redemption. The redemption will be funded with excess cash currently available to the Company.
