<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;On September&nbsp;30, 2010, Hanmi Financial Corporation (the &#147;<U>Company</U>&#148;) and Woori Finance
Holdings Co. Ltd. (&#147;<U>Investor</U>&#148;) entered into Amendment No.&nbsp;1 (the &#147;<U>Amendment</U>&#148;) to
that certain Securities Purchase Agreement (the &#147;<U>Agreement</U>&#148;), dated May&nbsp;25, 2010. Pursuant
to correspondence with NASDAQ regarding the application of its voting rights policy, the Amendment
amends and restates Section&nbsp;5.3 of the Agreement, which addresses the initial make-up of the
Company&#146;s (and its subsidiaries) Board of Directors following the closing of the transaction
between the Company and Investor. The Agreement provided that the Board of Directors would be
comprised of seven (7)&nbsp;directors and granted Investor the right to appoint five (5)&nbsp;directors, one
of whom would be the Company&#146;s Chief Executive Officer and President, with the other two (2)
directors selected by the Company from the directors serving immediately prior to the closing.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Following the Amendment, Investor has the right to appoint four (4)&nbsp;directors and propose the
individual who will serve as the Company&#146;s Chief Executive Officer and President; the proposal
being subject to agreement by the Company, receipt of the necessary regulatory approvals and
compliance with applicable law. The Chief Executive Officer and President will also serve as a
director and the remaining two (2)&nbsp;directors will be selected by the Company from the directors
serving immediately prior to the closing. In addition, the Amendment clarifies that Investor&#146;s
contractual appointment right is a one-time right. Following exercise of Investor&#146;s appointment
right, it will rely upon its voting rights under, and subject to compliance with applicable laws,
rules and regulations and the Company&#146;s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and
Bylaws. Finally, the Amendment changes the Outside Date (as that term is defined in the Agreement)
from September&nbsp;30, 2010 to November&nbsp;15, 2010.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;A copy of the Amendment is filed herewith as Exhibit&nbsp;10.1 and is incorporated into this
Current Report on Form 8-K by reference.

identified by the Company prior to the Closing Date (the &#147;<U>Resigning Directors</U>&#148;).
Pursuant to Section&nbsp;223 of the Delaware General Corporate Law and the Company&#146;s bylaws,

director of the Company. The Purchaser shall have the same proportional representation
on any committee or subcommittee of the Board and board of directors of each of the
Subsidiaries.</TD>
