TriCo shareholders will receive 2.095 shares of First Hawaiian for each share owned, valued at about $63.12 per share based on July 10 pricing. The merger aims to expand First Hawaiian’s mainland presence while preserving local market strength — with First Hawaiian owning 65% and TriCo shareholders holding 35% of the new entity. Both CEOs emphasize shared values and customer-focused growth, and TriCo’s flagship brand, Tri Counties Bank, will retain its name with no branch closures planned. Meanwhile, First Hawaiian reported a strong Q2 2026 net income of $73.4 million, up from the prior quarter, with full results due later this month.
