Item 8.01. Other Events
 
On November 21, 2006, Alexander & Baldwin, Inc. (the “Company”) conducted a live webcast, “2007 Business Outlook,” which included a discussion of operating, strategic, and financial matters. The webcast was previously announced in a press release and was broadly accessible to the public. A replay of the webcast, with the accompanying slides, was available on the Company’s website at www.alexanderbaldwin.com for approximately one week following the webcast.

The Company believes that the information contained in the webcast may be of continuing interest to shareholders. Accordingly, the transcript of the presentation and the accompanying slides, edited solely for the correction of errors, are furnished as exhibits to this Form 8-K. The information set forth in these materials speaks only as of November 21, 2006.

In addition, as previously announced, Matson Navigation Company, Inc. (“Matson”) is proceeding with the conversion of one of its C-9 containerships, MV Mokihana, to a combination roll-on/roll-off (ro-ro) and container vessel. The total cost of this conversion is estimated to be $30 million, which includes a $17 million contract with Atlantic Marine Alabama, LLC announced in September of this year by Matson. The conversion of the Mokihana is part of a previously announced $45 million upgrade of Matson’s ro-ro service capabilities in its Hawaii service, which includes shoreside facility improvements and investments in information technology.

Statements in this Form 8-K and the attached exhibits that are not historical facts are "forward-looking statements," within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, that involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking statement. Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in the statements include, without limitation, those described on pages 16-21 of the Form 10-K in the Company’s 2005 annual report. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance.
