Regulatory Matters [Abstract] |
REGULATORY MATTERS | NOTE 1 — REGULATORY MATTERS On November 2, 2009, the members of the Board of Directors of the Bank consented to the issuance of the Final Order (“Order”) with the California Department of Financial Institutions (the “DFI”). On the same date, Hanmi Financial and the Bank entered into a Written Agreement (the “Written Agreement”) with the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco (the “FRB”). The Order and the Written Agreement contain a list of strict requirements ranging from a capital directive to developing a contingency funding plan. While Hanmi Financial has taken such actions as necessary to enable Hanmi Financial and the Bank to comply with the requirements of the Regulatory Agreement and Order, there can be no assurance that compliance with the Written Agreement and the Order will not have material and adverse effects on the operations and financial condition of the Hanmi Financial and the Bank. Any material failure to comply with the provisions of the Written Agreement and the Order could result in further enforcement actions by both DFI and FRB, or the placing of the Bank into conservatorship or receivership. Written Agreement and Final Order The Order and the Written Agreement contain substantially similar provisions. Pursuant to the Order and the Written Agreement, the Board of Directors of the Bank prepared and submitted written plans to the DFI and the FRB that addressed the following items: (i) strengthening board oversight of the management and operation of the Bank; (ii) strengthening credit risk management practices; (iii) improving credit administration policies and procedures; (iv) improving the Bank’s position with respect to problem assets; (v) maintaining adequate reserves for loan and lease losses; (vi) improving the capital position of the Bank and, with respect to the Written Agreement, of Hanmi Financial; (vii) improving the Bank’s earnings through a strategic plan and a budget for 2011; (viii) improving the Bank’s liquidity position and funds management practices; and (ix) contingency funding. In addition, the Order and the Written Agreement place restrictions on the Bank’s lending to borrowers who have adversely classified loans with the Bank and requires the Bank to charge off or collect certain problem loans. The Order and the Written Agreement also require the Bank to review and revise its allowance for loan and lease losses consistent with relevant supervisory guidance. The Bank is also prohibited from paying dividends, incurring, increasing or guaranteeing any debt, or making certain changes to its business without prior approval from the DFI, and Hanmi Financial and the Bank must obtain prior approval from the FRB prior to declaring and paying dividends. Under the Order, the Bank was also required to increase its capital and maintain certain regulatory capital ratios prior to certain dates specified in the Order. By July 31, 2010, the Bank was required to increase its contributed equity capital by not less than an additional $100 million. The Bank was required to maintain a ratio of tangible stockholders’ equity to total tangible assets as follows:
Date |  | Ratio of Tangible Stockholders’ Equity to Total Tangible Assets
By July 31, 2010 |  | Not Less Than 9.0 Percent
From December 31, 2010 and Until the Order is Terminated |  | Not Less Than 9.5 Percent
If the Bank was not able to maintain the capital ratios identified in the Order, it was required to notify the DFI, and Hanmi Financial and the Bank are required to notify the FRB if their respective capital ratios fall below those set forth in the capital plan approved by the FRB. On July 27, 2010, we completed a registered right and best efforts offering by which we raised $116.8 million in net proceeds. As a result, we satisfied the $100 million capital contribution requirement set forth in the Final Order. The Bank had tangible stockholders’ equity to total tangible assets ratio of 8.59 percent at December 31, 2010. Accordingly, we notified the DFI and FRB of such event. On November 18, 2011, we completed an underwritten public offering of our common stock by which we raised $77.1 million in net proceeds. As a result, we satisfied tangible stockholders’ equity to total tangible assets ratio requirement of not less than 9.5 percent, set forth in the Final Order, as of December 31, 2011. As of December 31, 2011, the Bank had tangible stockholders’ equity to total tangible assets ratio of 12.48 percent. Based on submissions to and consultantations with our regulators, we believe that t the Bank has taken the required corrective action and has compiled with substantially all of the requirements of the Final Order and the written Agreement. For a further discussion of the Bank’s capital condition and capital resources, see “Note 19 — Liquidity.” Risk-Based Capital The regulatory agencies require a minimum ratio of qualifying total capital to risk-weighted assets of 8.0 percent and a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to risk-weighted assets of 4.0 percent. In addition to the risk-based guidelines, regulators require banking organizations to maintain a minimum ratio of Tier 1 capital to average total assets, referred to as the leverage ratio, of 4.0 percent. For a bank rated in the highest of the five categories used by regulators to rate banks, the minimum leverage ratio is 3.0 percent. In addition to these uniform risk-based capital guidelines that apply across the industry, the regulators have the discretion to set individual minimum capital requirements for specific institutions at rates significantly above the minimum guidelines and ratios. The capital ratios of Hanmi Financial and the Bank were as follows as of December 31, 2011 and 2010:
|  | Actual |  |  | Minimum Regulatory Requirement |  |  | Minimum to Be Categorized as “Well Capitalized” |
|  | Amount |  |  | Ratio |  |  | Amount |  |  | Ratio |  |  | Amount |  |  | Ratio |
|  | (In Thousands) |
