Hawaiian Electric reached a proposed settlement in shareholder derivative litigation in federal court in Hawaii, covering related derivative actions in Hawaii state court and a previously dismissed case in California federal court. Under the stipulation dated Dec. 31, 2025, the company would receive USD 100 million in cash funded by defendants’ insurance carriers. The plaintiffs allege company executives and directors failed to take adequate wildfire prevention measures and made false or misleading statements about wildfire mitigation and safety practices. The settlement would dismiss the actions with prejudice and release related claims upon final court approval and satisfaction of settlement conditions. The stipulation states USD 1 million from the settlement fund would be released to the company after preliminary approval of a separate securities class action settlement to fund an initial installment in that case.
