    <div><br>
    </div>
    <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;">Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (&#8220;DGCL&#8221;), inter alia, empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be
      made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a
      director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys&#8217; fees),
      judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
      to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person&#8217;s conduct was unlawful. Similar indemnity is authorized for such person against expenses (including
      attorneys&#8217; fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of any such threatened, pending or completed action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
      opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and provided further that (unless a court of competent jurisdiction otherwise provides) such person shall not have been adjudged liable to the corporation. Any such indemnification may be made only as
      authorized in each specific case upon a determination by the shareholders or disinterested directors or by independent legal counsel in a written opinion that indemnification is proper because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of
      conduct.</div>
    <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;">Any such indemnification and advancement of expenses provided under Section 145 shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and
      shall inure to the benefit of such person's heirs, executors and administrators.</div>
    <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;">Section 145 further authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation,
      or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against any liability asserted against him, and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status
      as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify him under Section 145.</div>
    <div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt; margin-top: 12pt;">Section&#160;102 of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation
        or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i)&#160;for any breach of the director&#8217;s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii)&#160;for acts or omissions not in good faith or
        which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii)&#160;for payments of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions, or (iv)&#160;for any transactions from which the director derived an improper
        personal benefit.</div>

      </div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt; margin-top: 12pt;">Articles X and XI in the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of the Company provides that the Company will indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent
        permitted by law and that no director shall be liable for monetary damages to the Company or its stockholders for any breach of fiduciary duty, except to the extent provided by applicable law.</div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt; margin-top: 12pt;">Article VII of our second amended and restated bylaws provides that we shall indemnify our officers and directors and that we may indemnify our employees and agents in
        substantially the same manner as provided by Sections 102 and 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Article VII of our amended and restated bylaws also provides that we may purchase and maintain insurance covering certain
        liabilities of our officers and directors and to ensure the performance of our indemnification obligations as described above.</div>
    </div>
    <div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt; margin-top: 12pt; margin-bottom: 12pt;">Hanmi Financial has entered into indemnity agreements with each of its directors and executive officers. Such indemnity agreements contain provisions which
        are in some respects broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in Delaware law.</div>
    </div>
    <div>
      <div style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 36pt;">The Company has a provided insurance pursuant to which our officers and directors are indemnified or insured against liability or loss under certain circumstances, which may include liability or

Item 6.  Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law ("DGCL"), inter alia, empowers a Delaware corporation to indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be
      made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (other than an action by or in the right of the corporation), by reason of the fact that such person is or was a
      director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation, or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees),
      judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if the person acted in good faith and in a manner the person reasonably believed to be in or not opposed
      to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe the person's conduct was unlawful. Similar indemnity is authorized for such person against expenses (including
      attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of any such threatened, pending or completed action or suit if such person acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not
      opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and provided further that (unless a court of competent jurisdiction otherwise provides) such person shall not have been adjudged liable to the corporation. Any such indemnification may be made only as
      authorized in each specific case upon a determination by the shareholders or disinterested directors or by independent legal counsel in a written opinion that indemnification is proper because the indemnitee has met the applicable standard of
      conduct.
Any such indemnification and advancement of expenses provided under Section 145 shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and
      shall inure to the benefit of such person's heirs, executors and administrators.
Section 145 further authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation,
      or is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation or enterprise, against any liability asserted against him, and incurred by him in any such capacity, or arising out of his status
      as such, whether or not the corporation would otherwise have the power to indemnify him under Section 145.
Section 102 of the DGCL permits a corporation to provide in its certificate of incorporation that a director of the corporation shall not be personally liable to the corporation
        or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director, except for liability (i) for any breach of the director's duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders, (ii) for acts or omissions not in good faith or
        which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law, (iii) for payments of unlawful dividends or unlawful stock repurchases, redemptions or other distributions, or (iv) for any transactions from which the director derived an improper
        personal benefit.
Articles X and XI in the amended and restated certificate of incorporation of the Company provides that the Company will indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent
        permitted by law and that no director shall be liable for monetary damages to the Company or its stockholders for any breach of fiduciary duty, except to the extent provided by applicable law.
Article VII of our second amended and restated bylaws provides that we shall indemnify our officers and directors and that we may indemnify our employees and agents in
        substantially the same manner as provided by Sections 102 and 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware. Article VII of our amended and restated bylaws also provides that we may purchase and maintain insurance covering certain
        liabilities of our officers and directors and to ensure the performance of our indemnification obligations as described above.
Hanmi Financial has entered into indemnity agreements with each of its directors and executive officers. Such indemnity agreements contain provisions which
        are in some respects broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in Delaware law.
The Company has a provided insurance pursuant to which our officers and directors are indemnified or insured against liability or loss under certain circumstances, which may include liability or
        related loss under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act.

Item 9.  Undertakings
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
1.
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being
      made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i)
to include any prospectus required by section 10(a)(3) of
      the Securities Act;
(ii)
to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising
      after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. 
      Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum
      offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (section 230.424(b)) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering
      price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fees" table in the effective registration statement;
(iii)
to include any material information with respect to the plan
      of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided, however
, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by
      these paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement;
2.
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the
      Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new Registration Statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof;
3.
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective
      amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the Plan;
4.
That, for purposes of determining any liability under the
      Securities Act, each filing of the registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
      securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof; and
5.
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
      Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against
      public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable.  In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer
      or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the
      opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
      governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
