Exhibit 99.4

 

Dear A&B Tenant,

For more than 150 years, Alexander & Baldwin has grown alongside Hawai‘i, guided by the people and communities we serve. As our tenant, you play an important part of that journey, and we sincerely appreciate the trust you place in us every day.

Today, we are sharing some important news about A&B’s future. Our Board has unanimously agreed to be taken private by an investor group consisting of MW Group, Blackstone Real Estate, and DivcoWest. This step will strengthen A&B’s ability to invest in our properties and to continue supporting tenants and communities across Hawaiʻi.

Today’s announcement does not change your existing relationship with A&B. It remains business as usual. Your point of contact and property management team remain the same, and we do not expect any changes to existing leases or lease terms as a result of this transaction. The investor group is committed to maintaining our properties at high standards of quality for our tenants and community members, and intends to invest over $100 million across our portfolio to enhance our properties and reinforce their essential role in the communities we serve.

The investor group has expressed deep respect for A&B’s local identity and legacy, and they have the experience, commitment, and shared values needed to support our continued success as a private company. MW Group brings local insight rooted in island values, while Blackstone and DivcoWest add deep real estate expertise. Collectively, they view A&B as an opportunity to deepen their commitment to Hawai‘i.

A&B will continue to operate with the same name, brand, and Hawai‘i headquarters, and will continue to be led by a Hawai‘i-based team. This ensures continuity in how we serve you and helps keep our direction aligned with Hawai‘i’s values and priorities.

We are committed to transparent communication as there are updates to share. We expect the transaction to close in the first quarter of 2026, subject to customary closing conditions including approval by A&B shareholders. Until then, A&B will continue operating as a public, independent company.

Moving forward in partnership with investors who share our commitment to Hawai‘i, we look forward to continuing to support your business and the communities we serve.

If you have any questions, please reach out to your usual A&B property manager.

Mahalo for your continued partnership.

Lance Parker
