MAUI PINEAPPLE COMPANY, LTD.
MAUI PINEAPPLE COMPANY, LTD. is a Hawaii corporation. Its Hawaii Department of Commerce and Consumer Affairs (DCCA) business-registration file number is 33276D1. The DCCA business search at https://hbe.ehawaii.gov returned HTTP 403 to our request on 27 October 2026, so the register entry could not be checked. An Exhibit 21.1 filed with the SEC on 1 April 2026 still lists the company as a Hawai‘i corporation as of 31 December 2025.
What does MAUI PINEAPPLE COMPANY, LTD. do? For decades it grew and processed pineapple on Maui. The Form 10-K for 2001 describes it as owning and operating integrated pineapple production facilities, with fruit grown on two plantations it operated on the island, and making both canned and fresh products. By 2008 the business had narrowed to growing, harvesting, packing and marketing fresh premium pineapple. The fruit was sold under the Maui Gold® brand to wholesalers and grocery stores in Hawaii, and on the US mainland through a consignment arrangement with Calavo Growers, Inc.
The company stopped farming pineapple at the end of 2009. On 2 November 2009 it was decided to stop planting immediately and to end all pineapple agriculture by 31 December 2009. The filing gives the reason: the company could not recover the high cost of growing Hawaiian pineapple in competitive mainland fresh-pineapple markets. About 208 positions were eliminated. With effect from 1 January 2010, its pineapple equipment, supplies and customer lists were sold to Haliimaile Pineapple Company, Limited, an unrelated, closely held corporation. That corporation also received a 60-year exclusive licence to use the company’s trademarks and trade names for fresh pineapple grown on Maui, and a licence to harvest the crop already in the ground until 30 June 2011.
No filing after 2010 describes any operating activity carried on by MAUI PINEAPPLE COMPANY, LTD. itself. No company-level revenue or employee figures are published: the financial statements filed with the SEC are consolidated and do not separate out this entity.
Website note: mauipineapple.com redirects (HTTP 301) to mauigold.com. That is the site of a separate business trading as Maui Gold® Pineapple Company at Hāliʻimaile, Makawao, which says it has been under its present private ownership since 2023. It is not this corporation’s website.

Shareholders
Shareholders of MAUI PINEAPPLE COMPANY, LTD.
Who owns MAUI PINEAPPLE COMPANY, LTD.? One shareholder is disclosed: Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. (NYSE: MLP). Exhibit 21.1 to that company’s Form 10-K for 2025, filed with the SEC on 1 April 2026, lists MAUI PINEAPPLE COMPANY, LTD. as a Hawai‘i subsidiary with a 100% ownership percentage as of 31 December 2025.
The same 100% figure appears in every Exhibit 21 we checked, from 31 December 2005 to 31 December 2025, including the years after pineapple farming ended in 2009. The Form 10-K for 2009 and the Form 8-K filed on 7 January 2010 both call the company a wholly owned subsidiary. Exhibit 21 gives the ownership percentage but no share classes or share counts.
Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. has been a Delaware corporation since a plan of conversion from Hawai‘i was completed on 18 July 2022.
Ultimate beneficial ownership
No filing names a beneficial owner of MAUI PINEAPPLE COMPANY, LTD. directly. The listed shareholder’s proxy statement filed on 9 April 2026 gives its own ownership as at the 2 April 2026 record date:
- Steve Case beneficially owned 12,060,321 shares, 60.70% of its common stock. Substantially all of these shares are held indirectly through the Steve Case Revocable Trust, of which he is sole trustee.
- Valueworks LLC held 6.05% and TSP Capital Management Group, LLC held 5.55%, each with dispositive power but no voting power.
We have not calculated an effective percentage for MAUI PINEAPPLE COMPANY, LTD. The 100% holding and the 60.70% holding are reported as at different dates (31 December 2025 and 2 April 2026). Later Schedule 13G amendments have not been reconciled with these figures.
Data availability
Coverage is full for the direct holding: a single 100% shareholder is disclosed in SEC filings. We could not read the Hawaii DCCA register because it returned HTTP 403, so nothing here comes from it. Ownership above the listed shareholder covers only holders above 5% reported in its proxy statement.

Officers
Directors and officers of MAUI PINEAPPLE COMPANY, LTD.
We could not verify any current director or officer of MAUI PINEAPPLE COMPANY, LTD. Hawaii corporations file annual reports with the DCCA Business Registration Division, but the DCCA business search returned HTTP 403 on 27 October 2026, so the latest filing could not be read. That is a gap in our sources. It does not show that the company has no directors or officers.
SEC filings show that the company had a board of directors in 2009: that board recommended the end of pineapple operations on 2 November 2009. They also name two former executive officers, both now historical:
- Fred W. Rickert was Vice President/Finance from April 2004 to July 2004.
- Gerard J. Watts was Vice President/General Manager from March 2007. He is described in that role in the Form 10-K filed on 17 March 2008, and he is not among the executive officers listed in the Form 10-K filed on 31 March 2009.
Recent officer changes
- 31 December 2009: two operating directors of the company ended their employment with it on this date, according to the Form 8-K filed on 7 January 2010. The filing does not name them.
- March 2007: Gerard J. Watts became Vice President/General Manager (Form 10-K filed 17 March 2008).
- July 2004: Fred W. Rickert’s term as Vice President/Finance ended (Form 10-K filed 31 March 2009).
Data availability
Coverage is historical only. Current directors and officers would appear in DCCA annual filings, which could not be accessed. The SEC filings name company roles only incidentally and record no nationality or country of residence, so nationality is not disclosed.

Group Structure
Group structure of MAUI PINEAPPLE COMPANY, LTD.
MAUI PINEAPPLE COMPANY, LTD. belongs to the Maui Land & Pineapple group. Its parent company is Maui Land & Pineapple Company, Inc. (NYSE: MLP), which reports a 100% ownership percentage in Exhibit 21.1 to its Form 10-K for 2025 (position at 31 December 2025). That listed company is also the highest corporate entity in the chain.
The same exhibit lists two other Hawai‘i companies, also at 100%: Kapalua Land Company, Ltd. and Kapalua Realty Company, Ltd. The exhibit is a flat list, so it does not show which group company holds each of them directly. It lists no subsidiaries of MAUI PINEAPPLE COMPANY, LTD.
The company once had a subsidiary of its own. Royal Coast Tropical Fruit Company, Inc. was described in the Form 10-K for 2001 as its wholly owned subsidiary, formed to market pineapple produced outside Hawaii. It was listed in Exhibit 21 at 31 December 2005 and no longer appears at 31 December 2006.
Every verified entity is a US company.

Recent structural changes
- 18 July 2022: the parent completed its conversion from a Hawai‘i corporation to a Delaware corporation (Form 10-K for 2025).
- 1 January 2010: the company’s pineapple operating equipment, supplies and customer lists were sold to Haliimaile Pineapple Company, Limited, an unrelated buyer that also licensed its trademarks (Form 8-K filed 7 January 2010). This disposal involved no shares.
- Between 31 December 2005 and 31 December 2006: Royal Coast Tropical Fruit Company, Inc. dropped out of the group’s subsidiary list.
Data availability
Coverage is partial. The parent and the 100% holding come from SEC Exhibit 21 filings, which list only the group’s subsidiaries and not every intermediate holding. We could not read the Hawaii DCCA register, which returned HTTP 403, so no state registration numbers are given.
Two Kapalua Bay entities, Kapalua Bay Holdings, LLC and Kapalua Bay, LLC, were listed in earlier years as Delaware companies, at 51% and 100%. Neither is in the Exhibit 21.1 for 2025.
