CB Bancshares Shareholders:
DON'T THROW AWAY YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE

If you're a CB Bancshares shareholder, you should be aware of an important
meeting coming up the Wednesday, May 28th. You may have seen or heard
advertisements, or even received phone calls, from Central Pacific telling you
to throw away your proxy card.

They want you to throw away your right to help decide the future of City Bank.

The Board of Directors and management of CB Bancshares and City Bank urge you
to exercise your right to vote, using the WHITE proxy card.

To help stop a hostile takeover, vote AGAINST, and mail or fax your WHITE
proxy card in today.

Investors should read CB Bancshares' SEC filings on the solicitation of
proxies for the special shareholders meeting at sec.gov.

If you have questions about how to vote, call 1-877-687-1873.

Don't throw away your right to vote.
