Forward-Looking Statements
This form contains forward-looking statements, which are included in accordance with the “safe
harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. In some cases, you can
identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “could,”
“expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” or
“continue,” or the negative of such terms and other comparable terminology. Although Hanmi
believes that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, it
cannot guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements. These statements
involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause Hanmi’s actual
results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to differ from those expressed or implied
by the forward-looking statement. These factors include the following: failure to maintain
adequate levels of capital and liquidity to support Hanmi’s operations; the effect of regulatory
orders Hanmi or the Bank has entered into and potential future supervisory action against Hanmi or
the Bank; general economic and business conditions internationally, nationally and in those areas
in which the Bank operates; volatility and deterioration in the credit and equity markets; changes
in consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; availability of capital from private and
government sources; demographic changes; competition for loans and deposits and failure to attract
or retain loans and deposits; fluctuations in interest rates and a decline in the level of the
Bank’s interest rate spread; risks of natural disasters related to the Bank’s real estate
portfolio; risks associated with Small Business Administration loans; failure to attract or retain
key employees; changes in governmental regulation, including, but not limited to, any increase in
FDIC insurance premiums; ability to receive regulatory approval for the Bank to declare dividends
to Hanmi; adequacy of the Bank’s allowance for loan losses, credit quality and the effect of credit
quality on the Bank’s provision for credit losses and allowance for loan losses; changes in the
financial performance and/or condition of the Bank’s borrowers and the ability of the Bank’s
borrowers to perform under the terms of their loans and other terms of credit agreements; Hanmi’s
ability to successfully integrate acquisitions it may make; Hanmi’s ability to control expenses;
and changes in securities markets. In addition, Hanmi sets forth certain risks in its reports
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including Hanmi’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for
the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and current and periodic reports filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission thereafter, which could cause actual results to differ from those
projected. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such risks.
Consequently, you should not consider such disclosures to be a complete discussion of all potential
risks or uncertainties. Hanmi undertakes no obligation to update such forward-looking statements
except as required by law.
