 EXHIBIT 10.7.4 
 CATHAY GENERAL BANCORP 
 2005 INCENTIVE PLAN 
 STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (NONSTATUTORY) 
 (NONEMPLOYEE DIRECTOR) 
 THIS STOCK OPTION AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”),
dated                , 20        (“Grant Date”), between Cathay General Bancorp, a Delaware corporation
(the “Company”), and <NONEMPLOYEE DIRECTOR> (“Optionee”), is entered into as follows: 
 WITNESSETH:

 WHEREAS, the Company has established the 2005 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”); and 
 WHEREAS, the Executive Compensation Committee or Equity Incentive Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company or its delegates (the
“Committee”) has determined that Optionee shall be granted an option under the Plan as hereinafter set forth; 
 The parties hereby
agree that the Company grants, effective as of the Grant Date, Optionee a nonstatutory (nonqualified) stock option (this “Option”) to purchase <SHARES> shares of its $0.01 par value Common Stock (the “Shares”) upon the
terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. 
 1. Plan Award. This Option is granted under and pursuant to the Plan and is subject
to each and all of the provisions thereof. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan. 
 2. Exercise Price. The exercise price applicable to this Option (meaning, the price Optionee must pay in order to purchase any Shares hereunder) shall be
$            per Share. 
 3. Transferability. This Option is not
transferable by Optionee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable only by Optionee during his or her lifetime. This Option may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by Optionee during his or
her lifetime, whether by operation of law or otherwise, and is not subject to execution, attachment or similar process. 
 4. Vesting and Exercise of
Option. Subject to Optionee’s not experiencing a Cessation of Service during the following vesting term, Optionee shall vest and earn the right to exercise this Option on the following schedule: The Option shall become exercisable with
respect to 20% of the number of Shares covered hereby on the first anniversary of the Grant Date, 20% of the number of Shares covered hereby on the second anniversary of the Grant Date, 20% of the Shares covered hereby on the third anniversary of
the Grant Date, 20% of the Shares covered hereby on the fourth anniversary of the Grant Date, and 20% of the Shares covered hereby on the fifth anniversary of the Grant Date, so that this Option shall be fully exercisable on the fifth anniversary of
the Grant Date. 
 5. Expiration. This Option will expire ten (10) years from the Grant Date, unless sooner terminated or canceled in
accordance with the provisions of the Plan. This means that (subject to the continuing service requirement set forth in Section 4 above and subject to earlier termination 
  

 1 

 upon certain other events as set forth in the Plan) this Option must be exercised, if at all, on or before
            , 20    (the “Expiration Date”). If this Option expires on a national holiday or weekend day, this Option will expire on the last
trading day prior to the holiday or weekend. Optionee shall be solely responsible for exercising this Option, if at all, prior to its Expiration Date. The Company shall have no obligation to notify Optionee of this Option’s
expiration. 
 6. Exercise Mechanics. This Option may be exercised by delivering to the Company at its principal executive office, to the
attention of the officer of the Company designated by the Committee, a written or electronic notice stating the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised or by any other method the Committee has approved. The notice must be accompanied by
the payment of the full Option exercise price of such Shares. Exercise shall not be deemed to have occurred unless and until Optionee has delivered to the Company (or its authorized representative) an approved notice of exercise, full payment for
the Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised and payment of any applicable withholding taxes in accordance with Section 8 below. Payment of the Option exercise price may be in cash, cashier’s check, or wire transfer;
provided, however, that any permitted method of payment shall be in strict compliance with all procedural rules established by the Committee. 
 7.
Cessation of Service. All rights of Optionee in this Option, to the extent that it has not previously become vested and been exercised, shall terminate upon Optionee’s ceasing to be a Director (“Cessation of Service”)
except as set forth in this Section 7. The portion of the Option that relates to any Shares that were unvested and unexercisable as of the date of Optionee’s Cessation of Service shall terminate and expire effective immediately upon such
date. With respect to the vested and exercisable portion of the Option, and subject to the following sentence: 
 (i) In the event of
Cessation of Service other than as a result of Optionee’s death or disability, Optionee shall have ninety (90) days to exercise the Option as to the Shares subject to the Option that were vested and exercisable as of the date of Cessation
of Service; and 
 (ii) In the event of Cessation of Service as a result of Optionee’s death or disability (including a Total and
Permanent Disability), Optionee shall have one (1) year to exercise the Option as to the Shares subject to the Option that were vested and exercisable as of the date of Cessation of Service. 
 Notwithstanding the above, in no event may an Option be exercised, even as to vested and otherwise exercisable Shares, after the Expiration Date set forth in
Section 5 above. 
 8. Tax Matters. Optionee acknowledges and agrees that liability for all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax,
payment on account or other tax-related items (“Tax-Related Items”) legally due by him or her is and remains Optionee’s responsibility and that the Company and/or the Affiliate (i) make no representations nor undertakings
regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this Option, including the grant, vesting or exercise of this Option, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such exercise and receipt of any dividends;
and (ii) do not commit to structure the terms or the grant or any aspect of this Option to reduce or eliminate Optionee’s liability for Tax-Related Items. Although Optionee is being provided in the Plan prospectus a description of certain
tax consequences of transactions related to the Option, Optionee remains responsible for all such tax consequences and the Company shall not be deemed to provide any individual tax advice with respect thereto.

 9. Optionee Consents. By accepting the grant of this Option, Optionee acknowledges and agrees that:

 (i) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or
terminated by the Company at any time unless otherwise provided in the Plan or this Agreement; 
 (ii) the grant of this Option is
voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Awards, or benefits in lieu of Awards, even if options have been granted repeatedly in the past; or any right of Optionee to continue as a
Director; 
 (iii) Optionee’s right to exercise this Option pursuant to the vesting schedule in Section 4 is dependent upon
Optionee continuing to serve as a Director, and that service as a Director could cease for a variety of reasons, some of which may be involuntary such as a failure to be nominated or elected as a Director or in connection with a Change in Control,
which could result in the loss of benefits available to Optionee under this Agreement including the right to exercise Options; and 
 (iv) in
consideration of the grant of this Option, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of this Option or diminution in value of this Option or Shares purchased through exercise of this Option resulting from
Cessation of Service for any reason whatsoever, and Optionee irrevocably releases the Company and its Affiliates from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to
have arisen, then, by accepting the terms of this Agreement, Optionee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived any entitlement to pursue such claim. 
 10.
Data Transfer. Optionee explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of Optionee’s personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, the Employer
and the Company and its Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing Optionee’s participation in the Plan. Optionee understands that the Company and its Affiliates hold certain personal information about
Optionee, including, but not limited to, name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social security or insurance number (or other identification number), salary, nationality, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company,
details of all options or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, purchased, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in Optionee’s favor for the purpose of implementing, managing and administering the Plan
(“Data”). Optionee understands that the Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in Optionee’s country or elsewhere
and that the recipient country may have different data privacy laws and protections than Optionee’s country. Optionee may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the Cathay Bank Director
of Human Resources. Optionee authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing Optionee’s participation in the Plan,
including any requisite transfer of such Data as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom Optionee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired upon the exercise of this Option. Optionee understands that Data will be held only as long
as is necessary to implement, administer and manage participation in the Plan. Optionee may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of the Data, require any necessary amendments to the Data or refuse
or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting the Cathay Bank Director of Human Resources in writing. Optionee understands that refusing or withdrawing consent may affect

 Optionee’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of refusing to consent or
withdrawing consent, Optionee may contact the Cathay Bank Director of Human Resources. 
 11. Copies of Plan Materials. Optionee acknowledges

version, the English version will control. Optionee acknowledges that the Plan contains provisions that materially affect the rights and obligations of the Optionee. 
 12. Restrictions. Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of this Option unless the exercise of this Option and the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws and
shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance. Stock certificates evidencing any Shares may bear such restrictive legends as the Company and the Company’s counsel deem necessary or advisable
under Applicable Laws or pursuant to this Agreement or the Plan. 
 13. Entire Agreement; Plan Controls. The Plan is incorporated herein by
reference. The Plan and this Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and Optionee with respect to the
subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to Optionee’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and Optionee. In the event of any conflict between the terms and provisions of the Plan and this Agreement, the
Plan terms and provisions shall govern. Certain other important terms governing this Agreement are contained in the Plan.

 Exhibit 10.7.5 
 CATHAY GENERAL BANCORP 
 2005 INCENTIVE PLAN 
 RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT 
 THIS
RESTRICTED STOCK UNIT AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), dated <GRANT DATE> between Cathay General Bancorp, a Delaware corporation (“Company”), and <EMPLOYEE NAME> (the “Employee”), is entered into as follows:

 WITNESSETH: 
 WHEREAS,
the Company has established the 2005 Incentive Plan (the “Plan”); and 
 WHEREAS, the Executive Compensation Committee or Equity
Incentive Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company or its delegates (the “Committee”) has determined that the Employee shall be granted restricted stock units representing hypothetical shares of the Company’s common stock
(“Restricted Stock Units”), with each Restricted Stock Unit representing one share of the Company’s common stock (the “Stock”), subject to the restrictions stated below and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the
Plan. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Agreement have the meanings assigned to them in the Plan. 
 THEREFORE, the parties
agree as follows: 
 1. Grant of Restricted Stock Units. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and of the Plan, the Company
hereby grants to the Employee Restricted Stock Units covering <SHARES> shares of Stock (the “Shares”). 
 2. Vesting Schedule.
Subject to Employee’s not experiencing a Termination of Employment during the following vesting term, the interest of the Employee in the Restricted Stock Units shall vest as follows: <INSERT VESTING PROVISION HERE>. Therefore,
provided the Employee has not experienced a Termination of Employment prior to the close of business on the <INSERT FULL VESTING DATE HERE>, the interest of the Employee in the Restricted Stock Units shall become fully vested on
that date. If any vesting date is not a day on which the NASDAQ stock market is open for trading, then the vesting date shall be the preceding business day. 
 3. Benefit Upon Vesting. Upon the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the Employee shall be entitled to receive, as soon as administratively practicable, the Shares equal to the number of Restricted Stock Units that have
vested. 
 4. Restrictions.  
 (a)
Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, the Restricted Stock Units or rights granted hereunder may not be sold, pledged or otherwise transferred until the Restricted Stock Units become vested in accordance with Section 2 and the
Shares are issued under Section 3. The period of time between the date hereof and the date the Restricted Stock Units become fully vested is referred to herein as the “Restriction Period.” 
 (b) Except as otherwise provided for in this Agreement, if the Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated at any time for any reason
(including as a result of the Employee’s death or disability (including a Total and Permanent Disability) prior to the lapse of the Restriction Period, or the Employee otherwise experiences a Termination of Employment during the Restriction
Period, all Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder that have not vested by such termination date 

 and that are held by the Employee as of such date shall, with no further action by the Company required,
be forfeited by, and no further rights shall accrue to, the Employee. 
 5. No Stockholder Rights. Restricted Stock Units represent
hypothetical shares of Stock. During the Restriction Period, the Employee shall not be entitled to any of the rights or benefits generally accorded to stockholders. In particular, Employee shall not be entitled to receive any dividends. 

6. Taxes. 
 (a) The Employee shall
be liable for any and all taxes, including withholding taxes, arising out of this grant or the vesting of Restricted Stock Units hereunder. In the event that the Company or the Employer (as defined below) is required to withhold taxes as a result of
the grant or vesting of Restricted Stock Units, or subsequent sale of Stock acquired pursuant to such Restricted Stock Units, the Employee shall surrender a sufficient number of whole shares of such Stock or make a cash payment as necessary to cover
all applicable required withholding taxes and required social insurance contributions at the time the restrictions on the Restricted Stock Units lapse, unless alternative procedures for such payment are established by the Company. The Employee will
receive a cash refund for any fraction of a surrendered share not necessary for required withholding taxes and required social insurance contributions. In its discretion, the Company may withhold from the shares otherwise issuable on the vesting
date, a number of shares of Stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) sufficient to cover the applicable required withholding taxes The shares will be valued for this purpose at the closing price on the vesting date. To the extent that any
surrender of Stock or payment of cash or alternative procedure for such payment is insufficient, the Employee authorizes the Company, its Affiliates and Subsidiaries, which are qualified to deduct tax at source, to deduct all applicable required
withholding taxes and social insurance contributions from the Employee’s compensation. The Employee agrees to pay any amounts that cannot be satisfied from wages or other cash compensation, to the extent permitted by law. 
 (b) Regardless of any action the Company or the Employee’s employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social
insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the Employee acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by him or her is and remains the
Employee’s responsibility and that the Company and or the Employer (i) make no representations nor undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this grant of Restricted Stock Units,
including the vesting of Restricted Stock Units, subsequent payment of Stock and/or cash related to such Restricted Stock Units or the subsequent sale of any Stock acquired pursuant to such Restricted Stock Units; and (ii) do not commit to
structure the terms or any aspect of this grant of Restricted Stock Units to reduce or eliminate the Employee’s liability for Tax-Related Items. Prior to the vesting of the Restricted Stock Units, the Employee shall pay the Company or the
Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of the Employee’s participation in the Plan or the Employee’s receipt of Restricted Stock Units that cannot be satisfied by
the means previously described. The Company may refuse to deliver the benefit described in Section 3 if the Employee fails to comply with the Employee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items. 
 7. Data Privacy Consent. The Employee hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the
Employee’s personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, the Employer, and the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee’s
participation in the Plan. The Employee understands that the Company, its Affiliates, its Subsidiaries and the Employer hold certain personal information about the Employee, including, but not limited to, name, home address and telephone number,
date of birth, social security or insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all options or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded,
canceled, purchased, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Employee’s favor for the purpose of implementing, managing and administering the Plan 

 (“Data”). The Employee understands that the Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the
implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in the Employee’s country or elsewhere and that the recipient country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Employee’s
country. The Employee understands that he may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting Cathay Bank Director of Human Resources. The Employee authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use,
retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Employee’s participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data, as may be required to a broker or
other third party with whom the Employee may elect to deposit any Stock acquired under the Plan. The Employee understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage participation in the Plan. The Employee
understands that he may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of the Data, require any necessary amendments to the Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by
contacting the Cathay Bank Director of Human Resources in writing. The Employee understands that refusing or withdrawing consent may affect the Employee’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of refusing

established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time unless otherwise provided in the Plan or this Agreement;

Stock or Restricted Stock Units, or benefits in lieu of Stock or Restricted Stock Units, even if Stock or Restricted Stock Units have been granted repeatedly in the past; 
 (c) the Employee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with Employer, shall not create an employment agreement between the Employee and his or her Employer and shall not

 (e) in consideration of this grant of Restricted Stock
Units, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of this grant of Restricted Stock Units or diminution in value of this grant of Restricted Stock Units resulting from Termination of Employment by the Company or
the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in 

 breach of local labor laws) and the Employee irrevocably releases the Company and the Employer from any
such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by accepting the terms of this Agreement, the Employee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived any
