HANMI FINANCIAL CORP

Capital Resources

Historically, our primary source of capital has been the retention of operating earnings. In order to ensure adequate capital levels, the Board regularly assesses projected sources and uses of capital, expected loan growth, anticipated capital management tools (such as stock repurchases and dividends), and projected capital thresholds under adverse and severely adverse economic conditions. In addition, the Board considers the Company’s access to capital from financial markets through the issuance of additional debt and securities, including common stock or notes, to meet its capital needs.

The Company’s ability to pay dividends to stockholders depends in part upon dividends it receives from the Bank. California law restricts the amount available for cash dividends to the lesser of a bank’s retained earnings or net income for its last three fiscal years (less any distributions to stockholders made during such period). Where the above test is not met, cash dividends may still be paid, with the prior approval of the California Department of Financial Protection and Innovation (“DFPI”), in an amount not exceeding the greater of: (1) retained earnings of the Bank; (2) net income of the Bank for its last fiscal year; or (3) the net income of the Bank for its current fiscal year. The Company paid dividends of $24.5 million ($0.81 per share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and $30.4 million ($1.00 per share) for the year ended December 31, 2024. As of October 1, 2025, the Bank has the ability to pay dividends of approximately $68.1 million, after giving effect to the $0.27 per share dividend declared on October, 24, 2025, for the fourth quarter of 2025, without the prior approval of the Commissioner of the DFPI.

At September 30, 2025, the Bank’s total risk-based capital ratio of 14.28%, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio of 13.20%, common equity Tier 1 capital ratio of 13.20% and Tier 1 leverage capital ratio of 11.46% placed the Bank in the “well capitalized” category pursuant to capital rules, which is defined as institutions with total risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 10.00%, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio equal to or greater than 8.00%, common equity Tier 1 capital ratios equal to or greater than 6.50%, and Tier 1 leverage capital ratio equal to or greater than 5.00%.

At September 30, 2025, the Company's total risk-based capital ratio was 15.05%, Tier 1 risk-based capital ratio was 12.33%, common equity Tier 1 capital ratio was 12.00% and Tier 1 leverage capital ratio was 10.64%.
