of the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended, by a unanimous written consent of the Board of
Directors dated as of April 19, 2000.
The original Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation was filed with the Delaware
Secretary of State on March 14, 2000.
The Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation is being amended and restated as follows:
ARTICLE I
The name of the Corporation is Hanmi Financial Corporation
ARTICLE II
The registered office of the Corporation in the State of Delaware is 1013 Centre Road in the
City of Wilmington, County of New Castle 19805. The name of the registered agent of the Corporation
at that address is Corporation Service Company.
ARTICLE III
The purpose of the Corporation is to engage in any lawful act or activity for which
corporations may be organized under the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware.
ARTICLE IV
The Corporation is authorized to issue two classes of stock, designated, respectively, Common
Stock and Preferred Stock. The aggregate number of shares of all classes of capital stock which the
Corporation shall have authority to issue is sixty million (60,000,000) shares, of which fifty
million (50,000,000) shares shall be Common Stock, par value $.001 per share, and ten million
(10,000,000) of which shall be Preferred Stock, par value $.001 per share, issuable in one or more
series.
1
The shares of Preferred Stock may be issued from time to time in one or more series. The Board
of Directors is hereby authorized to fix by resolution or resolutions the voting rights,
designations, powers, preferences and the relative, participating, optional or other rights, if
any, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof of any wholly unissued shares of
Preferred Stock; and to fix the number of shares constituting such series, and to increase or
decrease the number of shares of any such series, but not below the number of shares thereof then
outstanding.
ARTICLE V
Any action required or permitted to be taken by the stockholders of the Corporation must be
effected at an annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Corporation and may not be effected
by any consent in writing by such stockholders.
ARTICLE VI
All the powers of the Corporation, insofar as the same may be lawfully vested by this
Certificate of Incorporation in the Board of Directors, are hereby conferred upon the Board of
Directors. In furtherance and not in limitation of such powers, the Board of Directors shall have
the power to make, adopt, alter, amend and repeal from time to time bylaws of the Corporation,
subject to the right of the stockholders entitled to vote with respect thereto to adopt, alter,
amend and repeal bylaws made by the Board of Directors; provided, however, that bylaws shall not be
adopted, altered, amended or repealed by the stockholders of the Corporation except by the vote of
the holders of not less than sixty six and two-thirds percent (66.67%) of the combined voting power
of all of the then outstanding capital stock entitled to vote generally in the election of
directors, voting together as a single class.
ARTICLE VII
SECTION 1. Except as may be otherwise provided by the terms of any series of Preferred Stock
or any other securities of the Corporation having a preference over the Common Stock, the exact
number of directors of the Corporation shall be fixed by or in the manner provided in the bylaws of
the Corporation and such number may from time to time be increased or decreased in accordance with
the provisions thereof, provided that no decrease in the number of directors shall have the effect
of shortening the term of any incumbent director, and provided further that no action shall be
taken to decrease or increase the number of directors from time to time unless at least two-thirds
(2/3) of the directors then in office shall concur in said action, subject to the rights of holders
of any series of Preferred Stock or any other securities of the Corporation then outstanding.
Vacancies in the Board of Directors, however caused, and newly created directorships shall be
filled by a vote of two-thirds (2/3) of the directors then in office, whether or not a quorum, and
any director so chosen shall hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders
at which the term of the class to which the director has been chosen expires and when the
directors successor is elected and qualified. Advance notice of stockholder nominations for the
election of directors and of business to be brought by stockholders before any meeting of the
stockholders of the Corporation shall be given in the manner provided in the bylaws of the
Corporation.
2
SECTION 2. Except as otherwise provided by the terms of any series of Preferred Stock or any
other securities of the Corporation having a preference over the Common Stock, any director of the
Corporation, other than those who may be elected pursuant to the terms of any series of Preferred
Stock or any other securities of the Corporation having a preference over the Common Stock, shall
be classified, with respect to the time for which they severally hold office, into three classes,
as nearly equal in number as possible, as shall be provided in the bylaws. The terms of the initial
directors shall be determined by the Board of Directors, with one class designated as elected for a
one year term, the second class designated as elected for a two year term and the third class
designated as elected for a three year term. At the annual meeting of stockholders of the
Corporation in the year following the organizational meeting and at each subsequent annual meeting,
the successors of the class of directors whose term expires at that meeting shall be elected to
hold office for a term expiring at the annual meeting of stockholders held in the third year
following the year of their election.
Should the number of directors of the Corporation be reduced, the directorship(s) eliminated
shall be allocated among classes as appropriate so that the number of directors in each class is as
specified in the immediately preceding paragraph. The Board of Directors shall designate, by the
name of the incumbent(s) and the position(s) to be abolished. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no
decrease in the number of directors shall have the effect of shortening the term of any incumbent
director. Should the number of directors of the Corporation be increased, the additional
directorships shall be allocated among classes as appropriate so that the number of directors in
each class is as specified in the immediately preceding paragraph.
SECTION 3. Whenever the holders of any one or more series of Preferred Stock of the
Corporation shall have the right, voting separately as a class, to elect one or more directors of
the Corporation, the Board of Directors shall consist of said directors so elected in addition to
the number of directors fixed as provided above in this Article VII. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
and except as otherwise may be required by law, whenever the holders of any one or more series of
Preferred Stock of the Corporation shall have the right, voting separately as a class, to elect one
or more directors of the Corporation, the terms of the director or directors elected by such
holders shall expire at the next succeeding annual meeting of stockholders.
SECTION 4. Directors of the Corporation may be removed from office with or without cause by
the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares entitled to vote.
ARTICLE VIII
The Board of Directors of the Corporation, when evaluating any offer to (a) make a tender or
exchange offer for any equity security of the Corporation, (b) merge or consolidate the Corporation
with another corporation or entity, or (c) purchase or otherwise acquire all or substantially all
of the properties and assets of the Corporation, may, in connection with the exercise of its
judgment in determining what is in the best interest of the Corporation and its stockholders, give
due consideration to all relevant factors, including, without limitation, the social and economic
effect of acceptance of such offer: on the Corporations present and future customers and employees
3
and those of its subsidiaries; on the communities in which the Corporation and its subsidiaries
operate or are located; on the ability of the Corporation to fulfill its corporate objectives as a
financial institution holding company; and on the ability of its subsidiary financial
institution(s) to fulfill the objectives of a federally insured financial institution under
applicable statutes and regulations.
ARTICLE IX

required by law or by this Certificate of Incorporation or the terms of any series of Preferred

required notwithstanding the fact that no vote may be required, or that a lesser percentage or
proportion may be specified, by law, or by this Certificate of Incorporation or by the term of any
