To Woori Investment &#038; Securities</B>
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">LOS ANGELES, June&nbsp;27, 2011 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) &#151; Hanmi Financial Corporation (the &#147;Company&#148;) (Nasdaq:
HAFC), the parent company of its wholly&#151;owned subsidiary Hanmi Bank, today announced that it has
entered into a Common Stock Purchase Agreement for a private placement transaction to issue shares of the Company&#146;s common stock to Woori
Investment &#038; Securities (&#147;Woori&#148;). Pursuant to the terms of the Common Stock Purchase Agreement
dated June&nbsp;27, 2011, between Woori and the Company, Woori will be purchasing that number of shares
equal to 4.9&nbsp;percent of the Company&#146;s outstanding common stock immediately after the closing of the
Company&#146;s previously announced public offering, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances, at
a price per share equal to the public offering price. The private placement is contingent upon the
closing of the Company&#146;s public offering. The total amount
of common stock being sold in the private placement and the
Company&#146;s public offering is expected to total $75,000,000,
assuming no exercise of the underwriter&#146;s over-allotment
option.

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">Hanmi President and CEO J.S. Yoo stated, &#147;We are quite pleased that Woori has committed to invest

We believe that our partnership with Woori Finance Holdings Co. Ltd., which is one of Korea&#146;s largest financial institutions and the parent company of Woori Investment &#038; Securities,
should benefit both parties in expanding our ongoing business relationship and help to build value
for our shareholders.&#148;
