Item 3.02. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities.

On June 15, 2006, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of such date, Crowley Maritime Corporation (the “Company”) sold 2,000 shares of its common stock to the Crowley Maritime Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Plan, (the “ESOP”). The ESOP paid $1,913 per share, the fair market value of the stock as of June 15, 2006 as determined by an independent appraisal based on a non-marketable minority interest, for an aggregate purchase price of $3,826,000. The ESOP borrowed from the Corporation an amount equal to the purchase price (the “ESOP Loan”). The ESOP Loan, bearing interest at a fixed rate of 5.0% per annum, will be repaid over a ten-year term from the Company’s plan contributions. After giving effect to the transaction, the ESOP owned 3,000 shares of the Company’s 90,744 outstanding shares of common stock.

The shares of common stock were sold pursuant to an exemption from registration under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, because the shares sold were offered only to the ESOP.
