Business Combinations [Abstract] |
Mergers and Acquisitions | Mergers and Acquisitions The Company applies the acquisition method of accounting for business combinations, including the merger with Wilshire under ASC 805 “Business Combinations”. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the acquiring entity in a business combination recognizes 100 percent of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their acquisition date fair values. Management utilizes valuation techniques appropriate for the asset or liability being measured in determining these fair values. Any excess of the purchase price over amounts allocated to assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Where amounts allocated to assets acquired and liabilities assumed is greater than the purchase price, a bargain purchase gain is recognized. Acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred as merger and integration expense. Pending Acquisition of U & I Financial Corp On January 23, 2017, the Company announced the signing of a definitive agreement and plan of merger (the “U & I Merger Agreement”) with U & I Financial Corporation (“U & I”) pursuant to which U & I will merge with and into Hope Bancorp with Hope Bancorp as the surviving corporation. As part of the merger, UniBank, a wholly-owned subsidiary of U & I, will merge with and into the Bank. Under the U & I Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the merger (the “Effective Time”), each outstanding share of U & I common stock will be converted into shares of the Company’s common stock based on a value of $9.50 for the U & I common stock, which value will be subject to adjustment if U & I’s financial advisory and legal fees exceed certain amounts as provided in the U & I Merger Agreement (the “Merger Consideration”). The number of shares of Company common stock to be issued for the Merger Consideration will be based on the 10-trading day, volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock as of the closing as determined in accordance with the Merger Agreement (as so determined, the “Closing Stock Price”); provided that: (i) if the Closing Stock Price is less than $17.28832, the Company may terminate the U & I Merger Agreement unless U & I elects to accept an adjustment to the Merger Consideration through the issuance of fewer shares based on the $17.28832 instead of the lower Closing Stock Price; and (ii) if the Closing Stock Price is greater than $25.93248, U & I may terminate the U & I Merger Agreement unless the Company elects to accept an adjustment to the Merger Consideration through the issuance of additional shares based on the $25.93248 price instead of the higher Closing Stock Price. Each outstanding U & I stock option held by an U & I employee who will be retained by the Company after the Effective Time (each, a “Covered Employee”) shall cease to represent the right to acquire shares of U & I common stock and shall instead be converted automatically into an option to acquire shares of the Company’s common stock, and such assumed options will be assumed by the Company on substantially the same terms and conditions as were applicable under the corresponding U & I stock options. Each U & I stock option held by a U & I employee who will not be a Covered Employee shall become fully vested and be converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the excess, if any, of the per share Merger Consideration over the exercise price per share of such stock option by (ii) the total number of shares of U & I common stock subject to such stock option. The U & I Merger Agreement contains representations and warranties customary for transactions of this type from the Company and U & I, and each party has agreed to customary covenants, including, among others, covenants relating to the conduct of its business during the interim period between the execution of the U & I Merger Agreement and the Effective Time and, in the case of U & I, its obligation, subject to certain exceptions, to recommend that its shareholders adopt the U & I Merger Agreement and its non-solicitation obligations relating to alternative acquisition proposals. The consummation of the merger with U & I is subject to customary conditions, including receipt of regulatory approvals, receipt of the requisite approval of the shareholders of U & I, the absence of any law or order prohibiting the closing, and effectiveness of the registration statement to be filed by the Company with respect to the Company’s common stock to be issued in the merger with U & I, and the absence of the occurrence of a material adverse effect upon the Company or U & I. In addition, each party’s obligation to consummate the merger is subject to certain other conditions, including the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party and compliance of the other party with its covenants, in each case subject to certain materiality standards. The Company expects to close the acquisition by the end of 2017, subject to satisfaction of the conditions set forth in the U & I Merger Agreement. The U & I Merger Agreement provides certain termination rights for both the Company and U & I and further provides that a termination fee of $2 million will be payable by U & I to the Company upon termination of the U & I Merger Agreement under certain circumstances. Merger with Wilshire Bancorp, Inc. On July 29, 2016, the Company completed the merger with Wilshire Bancorp, Inc. (“Wilshire”), the holding company of Wilshire Bank. The Company merged with Wilshire in order to expand its network of branch locations and to provide enhanced products and services to our customers. Wilshire’s primary subsidiary, Wilshire Bank, previously operated thirty-five branches located in California, New York, New Jersey, Texas, Georgia, and Alabama. Approximately $4.63 billion in assets were acquired through the transaction including $3.80 billion in loans receivable and $3.81 billion in deposits. Subsequent to the merger, the Bank now operates 64 branches in nine different states throughout the United States and also has loan production offices throughout the Unites States and a representative office in Seoul, Korea. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, Wilshire shareholders received 0.7034 shares of Hope Bancorp common stock for each share of Wilshire common stock owned. As a result, 55.5 million shares of Hope Bancorp common stock were issued to Wilshire shareholders in addition to $3 thousand that was paid for fractional shares. In addition, the Company issued Hope stock options and restricted stock in exchange for Wilshire stock options and restricted stock outstanding at July 29, 2016 under substantially the same terms that were applicable immediately prior to the merger, subject to adjustment for the exchange ratio. Total consideration for the merger was $856.3 million. The consideration paid, the assets acquired, and the liabilities assumed are summarized in the following table:

Fair values are primarily determined through the use of inputs that are not observable from market-based information. Under ASC 805-10-25-13, management may adjust the fair values of acquired assets or assumed liabilities for a period of up to one year from the date of the acquisition to reflect new information obtained about facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date that, if known, would have an effect on the measurement of the amounts recognized as of that date. During the fourth quarter of 2016, the Company made a net adjustment of $1.4 million to the deferred tax assets and taxes receivable acquired from Wilshire which reduced the previous goodwill recorded from the transaction by $1.4 million. Subsequently in the first quarter of 2017, the Company made an adjustment which increased goodwill by $978 thousand consisting of a $1.7 million adjustment to OREO partially offset by a $716 thousand adjustment to deferred tax assets. Acquired Loans The fair value of loans were estimated on an individual basis based on the characteristics for each loan. A discounted cash flow analysis was used to project cash flows for each loan using assumptions for rate, remaining maturity, prepayment speeds, projected default probabilities, loss given defaults, and estimates of prevailing discount rates. At July 29, 2016, the fair value of loan acquired with deteriorated credit quality totaled $243.1 million. The outstanding principal balances and the related carrying amounts of the acquired loans included in the statement of financial condition at March 31, 2017 were $4.72 billion and $3.42 billion, respectively, for loans acquired from Wilshire. The outstanding principal balances and the related carrying amounts of the acquired loans included in the statement of financial condition at December 31, 2016 were $5.67 billion and $3.59 billion, respectively, for loans acquired from Wilshire.
