        <div style="text-align: left; color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; font-size: 10pt;">On May 26, 2022, Cathay General Bancorp (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) issued a press release announcing that the Company&#8217;s board of directors has
          adopted a new share repurchase program authorizing the Company to repurchase up to $125,000,000 of the Company&#8217;s common stock.&#160; The share repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The
          timing, price and volume of the share repurchases will be determined by the Company&#8217;s management based on its evaluation of market conditions, relevant securities laws and other factors.&#160; Repurchases may also be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan,
          which if adopted would allow stock repurchases when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws. The share 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. As of the
          date of the press release, the Company has approximately 75,150,090 shares of common stock outstanding.</div>

            <p>LOS ANGELES--(BUSINESS WIRE)--May 26, 2022--Cathay General Bancorp (the &#8220;Company&#8221;, Nasdaq: CATY), the holding company for Cathay Bank, announced that its Board of Directors has adopted a new share repurchase program authorizing the Company
              to repurchase up to $125,000,000 of the Company&#8217;s common stock. The previous $125,000,000 share repurchase program announced on September 2, 2021, was completed on February 18, 2022, with the repurchase of 2,858,503 shares at an average cost
              of $43.73. </p>
            <p> The share repurchases may be made from time to time on the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. The timing, price and volume of the share repurchases will be determined by the Company&#8217;s management based on its evaluation of
              market conditions, relevant securities laws and other factors. Repurchases may also be made under a Rule 10b5-1 plan, which if adopted would allow stock repurchases when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider
              trading laws. The share 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. As of the date of this release, the Company has approximately 75,150,090 shares of common stock outstanding. </p>
