“Hanmi”), the parent company of Hanmi Bank (the “Bank”),
today announced that its Board of Directors declared a cash
dividend on its common stock for the 2024 second quarter of $0.25

shares, or approximately 1.5 million shares of its common
stock.
“We believe Hanmi’s long-term growth prospects
are attractive, and today’s new share repurchase authorization
serves as evidence of the Company’s ongoing focus on its capital
allocation priorities”, said Bonnie Lee, President and Chief
Executive Officer of Hanmi. “We remain committed to maintaining
strong capital levels as well as returning capital to shareholders
through our quarterly dividend and opportunistic share
repurchases.”
The repurchase program permits shares to be
repurchased in the open market or private transactions, through
block trades, and pursuant to any trading plan that may be adopted
in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities and Exchange
Commission.
Repurchases will be made at management’s
discretion at prices management considers to be attractive and in
the best interests of both Hanmi and its stockholders, subject to
the availability of stock, general market conditions, the trading
price of the stock, alternative uses for capital, and the Company’s
financial performance.
The repurchase program may be suspended,
terminated or modified at any time for any reason, including market
conditions, the cost of repurchasing shares, the availability of
alternative investment opportunities, liquidity, and other factors
deemed appropriate. These factors may also affect the timing and
amount of share repurchases. The repurchase program does not
obligate Hanmi to purchase any particular number of shares.
