 ARTICLE II 

DEFINITIONS 
 Section 2.01.
Definitions and Other Provisions of General Application. For all purposes of this First Supplemental Indenture unless otherwise specified herein:

this First Supplemental Indenture, except that the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereto” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer to this First Supplemental Indenture as
a whole and not to the Base Indenture or any particular Article, Section or other subdivision of the Base Indenture or this First Supplemental Indenture;

additional defined terms in their appropriate alphabetical positions: 
 “Calculation Agent” has the meaning ascribed in
Section 3.02(e)(iv). 
 “Custodian” means receiver, liquidator, trustee, assignee or other similar official.

 2 








 “Reset Rate Determination Date” means the second London Banking
Day immediately preceding the first day of each applicable interest period commencing on the first Floating Rate Interest Payment Date. 

“Tax Event” shall mean the receipt by the Company of an opinion of independent tax counsel to the effect that, as a result of
(a) an amendment to, or change (including any announced prospective change) in, the laws or any regulations thereunder of the United States or any political subdivision or taxing authority thereof or therein, or (b) any official
administrative pronouncement or judicial decision interpreting or applying such laws or regulations, which amendment or change becomes effective or which pronouncement or decision is announced on or after the date of original issuance of the 2027
Notes, in each case, there is more than an insubstantial risk that the interest payable by the Company on the 2027 Notes is not, or within 90 days of the date of such opinion will not be, deductible by the Company, in whole or in part, for United
States federal income tax purposes. 
 “Tier 2 Capital Event” shall mean the Company’s good faith determination (as
evidenced by a resolution of the board of directors to that effect) that, as a result of (a) any amendment to, or change (including any announced prospective change) in, the laws or any regulations thereunder of the United States or any rules,
guidelines or policies of an applicable regulatory authority for the Company or (b) any official administrative pronouncement or judicial decision interpreting or applying such laws or regulations, which amendment or change is effective or
which pronouncement or decision is announced on or after the date of original issuance of the 2027 Notes, in each case, there is more than an insubstantial amount of risk that the Company will not be entitled to treat the 2027 Notes then outstanding
as Tier 2 Capital (or its then equivalent if the Company were subject to such capital requirement) for purposes of capital adequacy requirements of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (the “Federal Reserve”) (or any
successor regulatory authority with jurisdiction over bank holding companies), as then in effect and applicable to the Company, for so long as any Note is outstanding. 

“Three-Month LIBOR” means, for any interest period, the offered rate for deposits in U.S. dollars having a maturity of three
months that appears on the Designated LIBOR Page as of 11:00 a.m., London time, on the Reset Rate Determination Date related to such interest period. If such rate does not appear on such page at such time, then the Calculation Agent will request the
principal London office of each of four major reference banks in the London interbank market, selected by the Company for this purpose and whose names and contact information will be provided by the Company to the Calculation Agent, to provide such
bank’s offered quotation to prime banks in the London interbank market for deposits in U.S. dollars with a term of three months as of 11:00 a m., London time, on such Reset Rate Determination Date and in a principal amount equal to an amount
for a single transaction in U.S. dollars in the relevant market at the relevant time as determined by the Company and provided to the Calculation Agent (a “Representative Amount”). If at least two such quotations are so provided,
Three-Month LIBOR for the interest period related to such Reset Rate Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two such quotations are provided, the Calculation Agent will request each of three major banks in
the City of New York selected by the Company for this purpose and whose names and contact information will be provided by the Company to the Calculation Agent, to provide such bank’s rate for loans in U.S. dollars to leading European banks with
a term of three months as of approximately 11:00 a m., New York City time, on such Reset Rate Determination Date and in a Representative Amount. If at least two such rates are so provided, Three-Month LIBOR for the interest period related to such
Reset Rate Determination Date will be the arithmetic mean of such quotations. If fewer than two such rates are so provided, then Three-Month LIBOR for the interest period related to such Reset Rate Determination Date will be set to equal the
Three-Month LIBOR for the immediately preceding interest period or, in the case of the interest period commencing on the first Floating Rate Interest Payment Date, 2.135%, resulting in a coupon rate of 5.45%. All percentages used in or resulting
from any calculation of Three-Month LIBOR will be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth 

  
 3 








 
of a percentage point, with 0.000005% rounded up to 0.00001%. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Three-Month LIBOR as determined in accordance with this definition is less than
zero, Three-Month LIBOR for such interest period shall be deemed to be zero. 
 (d) Section 1.1 of the Base Indenture is amended and
supplemented, solely with respect to the 2027 Notes, by replacing the corresponding defined term in the Base Indenture with the following defined terms: 

“Senior Indebtedness” means the principal, premium, if any, unpaid interest (including interest accruing on or after the
filing of any petition in bankruptcy or for reorganization relating to the Company), fees, charges, expenses, reimbursement and indemnification obligations, and all other amounts payable under or in respect of the following indebtedness of the
Company: (i) any obligation (a) for money borrowed or purchased by the Company; (b) for the payment of the purchase price of any business, property or assets evidenced by a bond, note, debenture or similar instrument or agreement
(including purchase money obligations), whether by purchase, merger, consolidation or otherwise; or (c) which is a direct or indirect obligation which arises as a result of banker’s acceptances or bank letters of credit issued to secure
obligations of the Company, or to secure the payment of revenue bonds issued for the benefit of the Company whether contingent or otherwise; (ii) any obligation of the Company as lessee under any lease of property which is reflected on the
Company’s balance sheet as a capitalized lease; (iii) any obligation to general creditors, which shall not include trade creditors; (iv) any obligation arising from direct credit substitutes; (v) any obligation associated with
derivative products such as interest rate and currency exchange contracts, foreign exchange contracts, commodity contracts or any similar arrangements; and (vi) all obligations of the type referred to above of other persons or entities for the
payment of which the Company is responsible or liable as obligor, guarantor or otherwise, whether or not classified as a liability on a balance sheet prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, in each
case, whether now outstanding, or created, assumed, incurred or guaranteed in the future. With respect to the 2027 Notes, Senior Indebtedness excludes any indebtedness that (a) expressly states that it is junior to, or ranks equally in right of
payment with, the 2027 Notes; or (b) is identified as junior to, or equal in right of payment with, the 2027 Notes in any board resolution establishing such series of subordinated indebtedness or in any supplemental indenture. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, if the Federal Reserve (or other competent regulatory agency or authority) promulgates any rule or issues any interpretation that defines general creditor(s), the main purpose of which is to establish
criteria for determining whether the subordinated debt of a financial or bank holding company is to be included in its capital, then the term “general creditors” as used in the definition of “Senior Indebtedness” will have the
meaning as described in that rule or interpretation. 
 ARTICLE III

Section 3.01. Form and Dating.

 4 








 Section 3.02. Terms of the 2027 Notes. The following terms relating to the 2027 Notes
are hereby established: 
 (a) Title. The 2027 Notes shall constitute a series of Securities having the title “Hanmi Financial
Corporation 5.45% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2027” and the CUSIP number 410495 AA3. 

(b) Principal Amount. The aggregate principal amount of the 2027 Notes that may be authenticated and delivered under the Indenture, as
amended hereby, shall be One Hundred Million Dollars ($100,000,000) on the Issue Date. Provided that no Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the 2027 Notes, the Company may, without notice to or the consent of the Holders,
create and issue additional Securities having the same terms as, and ranking equally and ratably with, the 2027 Notes in all respects and so that such additional 2027 Notes will be consolidated and form a single series with, and have the same terms
as to status, redemption or otherwise as, the 2027 Notes initially issued, provided that such additional 2027 Notes are fungible for U.S. federal income tax purposes with the 2027 Notes. 

(c) Person to Whom Interest is Payable. Interest payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will
be paid to the person in whose name the 2027 Notes are registered for such interest at the close of business on the 15th day of the month immediately preceding the applicable Interest Payment Date, whether or not such day is a Business Day. Any such
interest which is payable, but not so punctually paid or duly provided for on any Interest Payment Date shall cease to be payable to the Holder on such relevant record date by virtue of having been a Holder on such date, and such defaulted interest
may be paid by the Company to the person in whose name the 2027 Note is registered at the close of business on a special record date for the payment of such defaulted interest to be fixed by the Company, notice whereof shall be given to Holders of
2027 Notes of this series not less than 10 days prior to such special record date that complies with Section 2.13 of the Base Indenture, or be paid at any time in any other lawful manner not inconsistent with the requirements of any securities
exchange on which the 2027 Notes may be listed and upon such notice as may be required by such exchange and in compliance with the Base Indenture. 

(d) Maturity Date. The entire outstanding Principal of the 2027 Notes shall be payable on March 30, 2027. 

(e) Interest. 
 (i) The
2027 Notes will bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.45% per annum from and including March 21, 2017 to, but excluding, March 30, 2022 (the “Fixed Rate Period”). Interest accrued on the 2027 Notes during the Fixed Rate
Period will be payable semi-annually in arrears on March 30 and September 30 of each year, commencing on September 30, 2017 (each such date a “Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date”). The interest payable during the Fixed Rate
Period will be paid to each holder in whose name a 2027 Note is registered at the close of business on the fifteenth day (whether or not a Business Day) of the month immediately preceding the applicable Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date (each such
date, a “Fixed Rate Regular Record Date”). 
 (ii) The 2027 Notes will bear a floating interest rate from and including
March 30, 2022 to the Maturity Date or Redemption Date (the “Floating Rate Period”). The floating interest rate will be reset quarterly, and the interest rate for any Floating Rate Period shall be equal to


  
 5 








 
Three-Month LIBOR plus 331.5 basis points (i.e., 3.351%). During the Floating Rate Period, interest on the 2027 Notes will be payable quarterly in arrears on March 30, June 30,
September 30 and December 30 of each year commencing on June 30, 2022 to, but excluding, the Maturity Date or Redemption Date, as applicable (each such interest payment date, a “Floating Rate Interest Payment Date”,
together with a Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date, an “Interest Payment Date”). The interest payable during the Floating Rate Period will be paid to each holder in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on
March 15, June 15, September 15 and December 15 (whether or not a Business Day), immediately preceding the applicable Floating Rate Interest Payment Date (each such date, a “Floating Rate Regular Record Date”).

 (iii) The amount of interest payable on any Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date during the Fixed Rate Period will be computed on the basis
of a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months up to, but excluding March 30, 2022, and, the amount of interest payable on any Floating Rate Interest Payment
Date during the Floating Rate Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the number of days actually elapsed. In the event that any scheduled Interest Payment Date for the 2027 Notes falls on a
day that is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such Interest Payment Date will be paid on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (any payment made on such date will be treated as being made on the date that the payment
was first due and no interest on such payment will accrue for the period from and after such scheduled Interest Payment Date); provided, that in the event that any scheduled Floating Rate Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business
Day and the next succeeding Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar month, such Floating Rate Interest Payment Date will be accelerated to the immediately preceding Business Day, and, in each such case, the amounts payable on such
Business Day will include interest accrued to but excluding such Business Day. Dollar amounts resulting from interest calculations will be rounded to the nearest cent, with one-half cent being rounded upward.

 (iv) The Company agrees that for so long as any of the 2027 Notes are outstanding there will at all times be an agent appointed to
calculate Three-Month LIBOR in respect of each Floating Rate Period (the “Calculation Agent”). The calculation of Three-Month LIBOR for each applicable Floating Rate Period by the Calculation Agent will (in the absence of manifest
error) be final and binding. The Calculation Agent shall have all the rights, protections and indemnities afforded to the Trustee under the Base Indenture and hereunder. The Company hereby appoints Wilmington Trust, National Association, as
Calculation Agent for the purposes of determining Three-Month LIBOR for each Floating Interest Period with respect to the 2027 Notes and Wilmington Trust, National Association accepts the appointment. The Calculation Agent may be removed by the
Company at any time. If the Calculation Agent is unable or unwilling to act as Calculation Agent or is removed by the Company, the Company will promptly appoint a replacement Calculation Agent, which does not control or is not controlled by or under
common control with the Company or its Affiliates. The Calculation Agent may not resign its duties without a successor having been duly appointed; provided, that if a successor Calculation Agent has not been appointed by the Company and such
successor accepted such position within 30 days after the giving of notice of resignation by the Calculation Agent, the resigning Calculation Agent may petition, at the expense of the Company, any court of competent jurisdiction for the appointment
of a successor Calculation Agent with respect to the 2027 Notes. The Calculation Agent’s calculation of the amount of any interest payable after the first Reset Rate Determination Date will be maintained on file at the Calculation Agent’s
principal offices. 
 (f) Place of Payment of Principal and Interest. So long as the 2027 Notes shall be issued in global form, the
Company shall make, or cause the Paying Agent to make, all payments of principal and interest on the 2027 Notes by wire transfer in immediately available funds to the Depository or its nominee, in accordance with applicable procedures of the
Depository. If the 2027 Notes are not in global form, the Company, may, at its option, make, or cause the Paying Agent to make, payments of 

  
 6 








 
principal and interest on the 2027 Notes by check mailed to the address of the person specified for payment in accordance with Section 3.02(e)(i) and (e)(ii) above. A global security with
respect to the 2027 Notes shall be exchangeable for physical securities of such series only if: 
  

	 	•	 	The Depository is at any time unwilling or unable or ineligible to continue as a depository or ceases to be a clearing agency registered under the Exchange Act and a successor depository is not appointed by the Company
within 90 days of the date the Company is so notified in writing; 

  

	 	•	 	The Company executes and delivers to the Trustee a Company Order to the effect that such global securities shall be so exchangeable (and the Trustee consents thereto); or 


 

	 	•	 	An Event of Default has occurred and is continuing with respect to the global securities and a Holder requests such exchange. 


(g) Redemption. The 2027 Notes shall be redeemable, in each case, in whole or in part from time to time, at the option of the Company
prior to the Maturity Date beginning with the Interest Payment Date on March 30, 2022, and on any Interest Payment Date thereafter subject to obtaining the prior approval of the Federal Reserve to the extent such approval is then required under
the rules of the Federal Reserve. The 2027 Notes may not otherwise be redeemed prior to the Maturity Date, except that the Company may, at its option, redeem the 2027 Notes before the Maturity Date in whole but not in part at any time, upon the
occurrence of a Tier 2 Capital Event or a Tax Event, or if the Company is required to register as an investment company pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (15 U.S.C. 80a-1 et seq.). Any
such redemption will be at a Redemption Price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2027 Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date fixed by the Company. The provisions of Article III of the
Base Indenture shall apply to any redemption of the 2027 Notes pursuant to this Article 3. Any partial redemption will be made in accordance with The Depository Trust Company’s (“DTC”) applicable procedures among all of the
Holders of the 2027 Notes. If any 2027 Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption relating to such 2027 Note shall state that it is a partial redemption and the portion of the principal amount thereof to be redeemed. The 2027
Notes are not subject to redemption or prepayment at the option of the Holders. 
 (h) Sinking Fund. There shall be no sinking fund
for the 2027 Notes. 
 (i) Denomination. The 2027 Notes and any beneficial interest in the 2027 Notes shall be in minimum
denominations of $1,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 (j) Currency of the 2027 Notes. The 2027 Notes shall
be denominated, and payment of principal and interest of the 2027 Notes shall be payable in, the currency of the United States of America. 

(k) Acceleration. Neither the Trustee nor the Holders of the 2027 Notes shall have the right to accelerate the maturity of the 2027
Notes unless there is an Event of Default specified under clause (e), (f) or (h) of Section 6.1 (as amended herein) of the Base Indenture. If an Event of Default specified in clause (e), (f) or (h) of Section 6.1 (as amended
herein) of the Base Indenture occurs, then the principal amount of all of the outstanding 2027 Notes, including any accrued and unpaid interest on the 2027 Notes and premium, if any, shall automatically become and be immediately due and payable
without any declaration or other act on the part of the Trustee or the Holders of the 2027 Notes in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.2 of the Base Indenture. 

  
 7 








 (l) Stated Maturity. The principal of the 2027 Notes shall be payable on March 30,
2027 subject to acceleration as provided under the Indenture. 
 (m) Registered Form. The 2027 Notes shall be issuable as registered
global Securities, and the Depository for the 2027 Notes shall be the DTC or any successor Depository appointed by the Company within 90 days of the termination of services of DTC (or any successor to DTC). Sections 2.11 and 2.13 of the Base
Indenture shall apply to the 2027 Notes. 
 (n) Events of Default. The Events of Default provided for in Section 6.1 of the
Base Indenture shall apply to the 2027 Notes, provided that: 
 (i) the text of clause (b) of Section 6.1 of the Base Indenture
shall be substituted with the following: 
 “(b) default in the payment of the principal (or premium, if any) on the 2027 Notes with
respect thereto when it becomes due and payable (whether at the stated maturity or by declaration of acceleration, call for redemption or otherwise);” 

(ii) the text of clause (c) of Section 6.1 of the Base Indenture is deleted and replaced with the word “Reserved”; 

(iii) the text of clause (e) of Section 6.1 of the Base Indenture shall be substituted with the following: 

“(e) The Company shall consent to the appointment of a Custodian in any bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency, liquidation or similar
proceeding with respect to the Company;” 
 (iv) the text of clause (f) of Section 6.1 of the Base Indenture shall be
substituted with the following: 
 “(f) A court of competent jurisdiction shall enter a decree or order for the appointment of a
Custodian in any bankruptcy, receivership, insolvency, liquidation, or similar proceeding relating to the Company, and such decree or order shall remain unstayed and in effect for a period of 60 consecutive days;” and 

(v) a new clause (h), reading in its entirety as follows, shall be inserted: 

“(h) in the event of an appointment of a Custodian for the Company’s principal banking subsidiary, Hanmi Bank, and such appointment
shall not have been rescinded for a period of 60 consecutive days from the date thereof.” 
 (o) Acceleration of Maturity,
Rescission and Annulment. Section 6.2 of the Base Indenture shall apply to the 2027 Notes, except that the section shall be amended as follows: 

“If an Event of Default with respect to Securities of any Series at the time outstanding occurs and is continuing (other than an Event of
Default referred to in Section 6.1(e), 6.1(f) or 6.1(h)), then in every such case the Trustee or the Holders of not less than 25.0% in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding Securities of that Series may declare the principal amount of and
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on all of the Securities of that Series to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Company (and to the Trustee if given by Holders), and upon any such declaration such principal amount and
accrued and unpaid interest, if any, shall become immediately due and payable. If an Event of 

  
 8 








 
Default specified in Sections 6.1(e), 6.1(f) or 6.1(h) occurs, the principal amount of all the 2027 Notes, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon, shall automatically, and
without any declaration or other action on the part of the Trustee or any Holder, become immediately due and payable. The Maturity of the 2027 Notes shall not otherwise be accelerated as a result of an Event of Default.” 

(p) Payments to Holders. The first paragraph of Section 12.2 of the Base Indenture shall be substituted with the following and
shall apply to the 2027 Notes: 
 “Except as otherwise provided in a supplemental indenture, no payment shall be made with respect to
the principal of or interest on the Securities (including, but not limited to, the redemption price with respect to the Securities to be called for redemption in accordance with Article III as provided in the Indenture), except payments and
distributions made by the Trustee as permitted by the first or second paragraph of Section 12.5, if (i): 
 (a) a default in the
payment of principal, premium, interest, rent or other obligations due on any Senior Indebtedness occurs and is continuing (or, in the case of Senior Indebtedness for which there is a period of grace, in the event of such a default that continues
beyond the period of grace, if any, specified in the instrument or lease evidencing such Senior Indebtedness), unless and until such default shall have been cured or waived or shall have ceased to exist; or 

(b) an event of default or a default, in each case, other than a payment default, on a Designated Senior Indebtedness occurs and is continuing
that then permits holders of such Designated Senior Indebtedness (or a trustee or other authorized party on their behalf) to accelerate its maturity and the Trustee receives a notice of the default (a “Payment Blockage Notice”) from a
Representative or the Company, and 
 (ii) such default is the subject of judicial proceedings or the Company has received notice of such default from an
authorized person under this Indenture. 
 (q) Ranking. The 2027 Notes shall rank junior to and shall be subordinated to all Senior
Indebtedness of the Company, whether existing as of the date of this First Supplemental Indenture, or hereafter issued or incurred, including all indebtedness relating to money owed to general creditors. The 2027 Notes shall rank senior to the
Company’s Junior Subordinated Deferrable Interest Debenture due 2035, assumed from Central Bancorp Inc., a Texas corporation. Subject to the terms of the Base Indenture, if the Trustee or any holder of any of the 2027 Notes receives any payment
or distribution of the Company’s assets in contravention of the subordination provisions applicable to the 2027 Notes before all Senior Indebtedness is paid in full in cash, property or securities, including by way of set-off or any such payment or distribution that may be payable or deliverable by reason of the payment of any other indebtedness of the Company being subordinated to the payment of the 2027 Notes, then such payment
or distribution will be held in trust for the benefit of holders of Senior Indebtedness or their representatives to the extent necessary to make payment in full in cash or payment satisfactory to the holders of Senior Indebtedness of all unpaid
Senior Indebtedness. 
 (r) No Collateral. The 2027 Notes shall not be entitled to the benefit of any security interest in, or
collateralization by, any rights, property or interest of the Company. 
 (s) Additional Terms. Other terms applicable to the 2027
Notes are as otherwise provided for in the Base Indenture, as supplemented by this First Supplemental Indenture.

 Hanmi Financial Corporation, a Delaware corporation (hereinafter called the “Company,” which
term includes any successor corporation under the Indenture hereinafter referred to), for value received, hereby promises to pay to CEDE & CO., or its registered assigns, the principal sum of
$             (or such other amount as set forth in the Schedule of Increases or Decreases in Global Note attached hereto) on March 30, 2027 (such date is hereinafter referred
to as the “Stated Maturity Date”), unless redeemed prior to such date, and to pay interest thereon (i) from, and including, [March 21], 2017, to, but excluding, March 30, 2022, unless redeemed prior to such date, at a rate
of 5.45% per annum, semi-annually in arrears on March 30 and September 30 of each year, commencing [September 30], 2017 (each such date, a “Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date,” with the period from, and including,
[March 21], 2017 to, but excluding, the first Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date and each successive period from, and including, a Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date to, but excluding, the next Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date being a
“Fixed Rate Period”) and (ii) from, and including, March 30, 2022 to, but excluding, the Stated Maturity Date, unless redeemed subsequent to March 30, 2022 but prior to the Stated Maturity Date, at a rate equal to
Three-month LIBOR, reset quarterly, plus 331.5 basis points (3.315%), payable quarterly in arrears on March 30, June 30, September 30 and December 30 of each year through the Stated Maturity Date or earlier redemption date,
commencing on June 30, 2022 (each, a “Floating Rate Interest Payment Date,” and together with the Fixed Rate Interest Payment Dates, the “Interest Payment Dates,” with the period from, and including,
March 30, 2022 to, but excluding, the first Floating Rate Interest Payment Date and each successive period from, and including a Floating Rate Interest Payment Date to, but excluding, the next Floating Rate Interest Payment Date being a
“Floating Rate Period”). The amount of interest payable on any Fixed Rate Interest Payment Date during the Fixed Rate Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year consisting of
twelve 30-day months up to, but excluding March 30, 2022, and, the amount of interest payable on any Floating Rate Interest Payment Date during the Floating Rate Period will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year and the number of days actually elapsed. In the event that any scheduled Interest Payment Date for this Note falls on a day that is not a Business Day, then payment of interest payable on such Interest
Payment Date will be paid on the next succeeding day which is a Business Day (any payment made on such date will be treated as being made on the date that the payment was first due and no interest on such payment will accrue for the period from and
after such scheduled Interest Payment Date); provided, that in the event that any scheduled Floating Rate Interest Payment Date falls on a day that is not a Business Day and the next succeeding Business Day falls in the next succeeding calendar
month, such Floating Rate Interest Payment Date will be accelerated to the immediately preceding Business Day, and, in each such case, the amounts payable on such Business Day will include interest accrued to but excluding such Business Day. All
percentages used in or resulting from any calculation of Three-month LIBOR shall be rounded, if necessary, to the nearest one hundred-thousandth of a percentage point, with 0.000005% rounded up to 0.00001%. 

Any principal and premium, and any such installment of interest, which is overdue shall bear interest at the applicable rate set forth in the
previous paragraph (to the extent that the payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable), from the dates such amounts are due until they are paid or made available for payment, and such interest shall be payable on demand. The interest so
payable, and punctually paid or duly provided for, on any Interest Payment Date will, as provided in the Indenture, be paid to the Person in whose name this Note is registered at the close of business on the 15th day of the month (whether or not a
Business Day) of such Interest Payment Date.

 Payment of the principal of and interest on this Note will be made at the office or agency of the
Company maintained for that purpose, which shall initially be the Corporate Trust Office of the Trustee, in such currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment is legal tender for payment of public and private debts. 

Reference is hereby made to the further provisions of this Note set forth on the reverse hereof, which further provisions shall for all
purposes have the same effect as if set forth at this place. 
 Unless the certificate of authentication hereon has been executed by the
Trustee referred to on the reverse hereof by manual signature, this Note shall not be entitled to any benefit under the Indenture or be valid or obligatory for any purpose.

 REVERSE OF NOTE 

HANMI FINANCIAL CORPORATION 

5.45% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2027 

This Note is one of a duly authorized issue of Securities of the Company of a series designated as the “5.45% Fixed-to-Floating Rate Subordinated Notes due 2027” (herein called the “Notes”) initially issued in an aggregate principal amount of
$             on             . Such series of Securities has been established pursuant to, and is one of an
indefinite number of series of subordinated debt securities of the Company issued or issuable under and pursuant to the Subordinated Indenture, dated as of March 21, 2017 (the “Base Indenture”), between the Company and
Wilmington Trust, National Association, as Trustee (herein called the “Trustee,” which term includes any successor trustee), as supplemented and amended by the First Supplemental Indenture between the Company and the Trustee, dated
as of March 21, 2017 (the “First Supplemental Indenture,” and the Base Indenture as supplemented and amended by the First Supplemental Indenture, the “Indenture”), to which Indenture and any other indentures
supplemental thereto reference is hereby made for a statement of the respective rights, limitations of rights, duties and immunities thereunder of the Company, the Trustee and the Persons in whose names Notes are registered from time to time and of
the terms upon which the Notes are, and are to be, authenticated and delivered. The terms, conditions and provisions of the Notes are those stated in the Indenture, those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as
amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”), and those set forth in this Note. To the extent that the terms, conditions and provisions of this Note modify, supplement or are inconsistent with those of the Indenture, then the terms,
conditions and other provisions of this Note shall govern to the extent that such terms, conditions and other provisions of this Note are not inconsistent with the terms, conditions and provisions made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust
Indenture Act. 
 All capitalized terms used in this Note and not defined herein that are defined in the Indenture shall have the meanings
assigned to them in the Indenture. To the extent that any capitalized term used in this Note and defined herein is also defined in the Indenture but conflicts with the definition provided in the Indenture, the definition of the capitalized term in
this Note shall control. 
 The indebtedness of the Company evidenced by the Notes, including the principal thereof, premium, if any,
Additional Amounts, if any, and interest thereon, is, to the extent and in the manner set forth in the Indenture, subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of all Senior Indebtedness, whether outstanding at the date
hereof or hereafter incurred, and on the terms and subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Indenture, and shall rank pari passu in right of payment with all other Securities and with all other unsecured subordinated indebtedness
of the Company that is not by its terms subordinate and subject in right of payment to the prior payment in full of debentures, notes, bonds or other evidences of indebtedness of types that include the Notes. Each Holder of this Note, by the
acceptance hereof, agrees to and shall be bound by such provisions of the Indenture and authorizes and directs the Trustee on his behalf to take such actions as may be necessary or appropriate to effectuate the subordination so provided. 

The Notes are intended to be treated as Tier 2 capital (or its then-equivalent if the Company were subject to such capital requirement) for
purposes of capital adequacy requirements of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System (or any successor regulatory authority with jurisdiction over bank holding companies) (the “Federal Reserve Board”) as then in effect
and applicable to the Company. If an Event of Default with respect to Notes shall occur and be continuing, the principal and interest owed on the Notes shall only become due and payable in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in
Article VI of the Base Indenture (as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture) and Section 3.02(k) and (o) of the First Supplemental Indenture. Accordingly, the Holder of this Note has no right to accelerate the maturity of this Note in
the event that the Company fails to pay interest on any of the Notes, or fails to perform any other obligations under the Notes or in the Indenture that are applicable to the Notes. 







 The Company may, at its option, redeem the Notes, in whole or in part from time to time, at a
redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest (the “Redemption Price”) to but excluding, the date of redemption (the “Redemption Date”), on any
Interest Payment Date on or after March 30, 2022. The Company may also, at its option, redeem the Notes before the Stated Maturity Date, in whole, but not in part, at any time, upon the occurrence of a Tier 2 Capital Event, a Tax Event or a
1940 Act Event. Any such redemption will be at a redemption price equal to the Redemption Price to, but excluding, the Redemption Date fixed by the Company. No redemption of the Notes by the Company prior to the Stated Maturity Date shall be made
without the prior approval of the Federal Reserve Board if such prior approval is or will be required at the scheduled Redemption Date. The provisions of Article III of the Base Indenture and Section 3.02(g) of the First Supplemental Indenture shall
apply to the redemption of any Notes by the Company. 
 The Notes are not entitled to the benefit of any sinking fund. The Notes are not
convertible into or exchangeable for any other securities or property of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company. 
 The Indenture
permits, with certain exceptions as therein provided, the amendment thereof and the modification of the rights and obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders of the Notes at any time by the Company and the Trustee with the consent of
the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Outstanding Notes. The Indenture also contains provisions permitting the Holders of specified percentages in aggregate principal amount of the Notes at the time Outstanding, on
behalf of the Holders of all Notes, to waive certain past defaults under the Indenture and their consequences. Any such consent or waiver by the Holder of this Note shall be conclusive and binding upon such Holder and upon all future Holders of this
Note and of any Note issued upon the registration of transfer hereof or in exchange therefor or in lieu hereof, whether or not notation of such consent or waiver is made upon this Note. 

As provided in the Indenture and subject to certain limitations therein set forth, the transfer of this Note is registrable in the Register
described in Section 2.7 of the Base Indenture, upon surrender of this Note for registration of transfer at the office or agency of the Company in any place where the principal of and interest on this Note are payable, duly endorsed by, or
accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Registrar duly executed by the Holder hereof or his attorney duly authorized in writing, and thereupon one or more new Notes, of authorized denominations and
for the same aggregate principal amount, will be issued to the designated transferee or transferees. 
 The Notes are issuable only in
registered form without coupons in minimum denominations of $1,000 and any integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. 
 The Company
and the Trustee and any agent of the Company or the Trustee may treat the Person in whose name this Note is registered as the owner hereof for all purposes, whether or not this Note is overdue, and neither the Company, the Trustee nor any such agent
shall be affected by notice to the contrary. 
 This Security is a global note, represented by a permanent global certificate registered
in the name of the nominee of The Depository Trust Company (each a “Global Note” and collectively, the “Global Notes”). Accordingly, unless and until it is exchanged for individual certificates, this Note may not be
transferred except as a whole by The Depository Trust Company (the “Depositary”) to a nominee of such Depositary or by a nominee of such Depositary or by the Depositary or any nominee to a successor Depositary or any nominee of such
successor. Ownership of beneficial interests in this Security will be shown on, and the transfer of that ownership will be effected only through, records maintained by the applicable Depositary or its nominee (with respect to interest of persons
that have accounts with the Depositary (“Participants”)) and the records of Participants 







 
(with respect to interests of persons other than Participants). Beneficial interests in Notes owned by persons that hold through Participants will be evidenced only by, and transfers of such
beneficial interests with such Participants will be effected only through, records maintained by such Participants. Except as provided below, owners of beneficial interests in this Note will not be entitled to have any individual certificates and
will not be considered the owners or Holders thereof under the Indenture. 
 Except in the limited circumstances set forth in the
Indenture, Participants and owners of beneficial interests in the Global Notes will not be entitled to receive Notes in the form of Individual Securities and will not be considered Holders of Notes. None of the Company, the Trustee, the Registrar,
the Paying Agent or any of their respective agents will be liable for any delay by the Depositary, its nominee or any direct or indirect Participant in identifying the beneficial owners of the related Notes. The Company, the Trustee, the Registrar,
the Paying Agent and each of their respective agents may conclusively rely on, and will be protected in relying on, instructions from the Depositary or its nominee for all purposes, including with respect to the registration and delivery, and the
respective principal amounts, of the Notes to be issued. 
 Except as provided in Section 2.14 of the Base Indenture, beneficial
owners of Global Notes will not be entitled to receive physical delivery of Notes in the form of Individual Securities, and no Global Note will be exchangeable except for another Global Note of like denomination and tenor to be registered in the
name of the Depositary or its nominee. Accordingly, each person owning a beneficial interest in a Global Note must rely on the procedures of the Depositary and, if such person is not a Participant, on the procedures of the Participant through which
such person owns its interest, to exercise any rights of a Holder under the Notes. 
 The laws of some jurisdictions may require that
certain purchasers of securities take physical delivery of those securities in definitive form. Accordingly, the ability to transfer interests in the Notes represented by a Global Note to those persons may be limited. In addition, because the
Depositary can act only on behalf of its Participants, who in turn act on behalf of persons who hold interests through Participants, the ability of a person having an interest in Notes represented by a Global Note to pledge or transfer such interest
to persons or entities that do not participate in the Depositary’s system, or otherwise to take actions in respect of such interest, may be affected by the lack of a physical definitive security in respect of such interest. None of the Company,
the Trustee, the Paying Agent and the Registrar will have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to or payments made on account of Notes by the Depositary, or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records of
the Depositary relating to the Notes. 
 The Trustee will act as the Company’s Paying Agent with respect to the Notes through its
Corporate Trust Office presently located at 1100 North Market Street, Wilmington, Delaware 19890. The Company may at any time rescind the designation of a Paying Agent, appoint a successor Paying Agent, or approve a change in the office through
which any Paying Agent acts. 
 Notices to the Holders of registered Notes in the form of Individual Securities will be given to such
Holders at their respective addresses in the Register, or in the case of Global Notes, electronic delivery in accordance with DTC’s applicable procedures. The Indenture contains provisions setting forth certain conditions to the institution of
proceedings by the Holders of Notes with respect to the Indenture or for any remedy under the Indenture. 
 THIS NOTE SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE
A CONTRACT MADE UNDER, AND SHALL BE GOVERNED BY, THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
