ITEM 5.03. AMENDMENTS TO ARTICLES OF INCORPORATION OR BYLAWS; CHANGE IN FISCAL YEAR.

(a) On March 26, 2014, the board of directors of Hanmi Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) adopted an amendment to the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws (the “Bylaws”) which provides for majority voting in uncontested director elections. In contested elections, where the number of nominees is greater than the number of directors to be elected, directors will continue to be elected by plurality vote. The amendment also includes a resignation provision which requires that any incumbent director who is not elected by a plurality of votes cast in a contested election must tender his or her resignation for consideration by the Nominating and Corporate Governance and Compensation Committee of the Company’s board of directors. The amendment is effective as of March 26, 2014.

The foregoing summary description of the amendment to the Bylaws is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the amendment, which is filed as Exhibit 3.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
