On October 11, 2011, Mr. Brian Cho, our Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, announced that he would retire from his positions as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Hanmi and the Bank, effective October 14, 2011. In connection with his retirement, Mr. Cho and Hanmi have entered into a Separation Agreement, dated October 7, 2011 (the “Separation Agreement”). Pursuant to the Separation Agreement, among other things, Mr. Cho would receive a one-time, lump-sum cash payment of $135,000. In addition, Mr. Cho will receive a cash payment of $31,154 as payment for accrued, but unused vacation. Mr. Cho will also receive medical insurance coverage for 12 months, amounting to a value of $12,048. The Separation Agreement also provides for the immediate acceleration of 21,000 stock options and 11,000 shares of unvested restricted stock held by Mr. Cho.

Concurrently with Mr. Cho’s announcement of his retirement, the Board of Directors of Hanmi announced the appointment of Mr. Lonny Robinson, age 54, to serve as the Executive Vice President and Interim Chief Financial Officer of Hanmi and the Bank.
