In the third quarter of 2022, the Company funded its defined benefit pension plan in the amount of $5.7 million. In the fourth quarter of 2022, the Company successfully completed a pension lift-out of approximately 45% of its total pension plan participants. The lift-out annuitized pension benefits utilizing a third-party insurer at a cost of $14.5 million. The Company recognized a non-cash settlement charge of $7.5 million as a result of the lift-out. This was the second tranche of participants lifted out from the Company’s defined benefit pension plan.
As a result of these 2022 pension-related initiatives, the Company’s accrued retirement benefits decreased by $5.3 million to $2.8 million from $8.1 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
In December 2021, the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement (“PSA”) in an amount of $40.0 million for a 46-acre parcel located within Kapalua Central Resort. Subject to customary diligence and closing conditions, the Company anticipates the PSA to close in 2023.
In May 2022, the Company sold a 646-acre parcel located in Kula, known as Omaopio, in the amount of $9.6 million. The parcel was sold to Hoopono, LLC.
In June 2022, the Company completed a sale in the amount of $2.0 million for a 50-acre parcel located in the Pulelehua area of West Maui. The parcel was sold to the County of Maui for use in the development of a regional park. The sale of this parcel satisfied the impact fee requirement for the future development of the Company’s 800-acre parcel above Honoapiilani Highway, commonly known as Kapalua Mauka.
Based on these collective 2022 results, total stockholders’ equity increased by $10.3 million to $33.8 million from $23.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The Company retained its debt-free status for 2022.
