Hanmi Financial director Gideon Yu resigns; shareholders approve stock purchase plan
Director Gideon Yu resigned from the Hanmi Financial and Hanmi Bank boards effective immediately on May 22, 2026, before the annual meeting, so he did not stand for reelection. At the May 27, 2026 meeting, stockholders elected ten board nominees, approved the advisory executive compensation vote, approved the 2026 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, and ratified Crowe LLP as the independent auditor for fiscal 2026.
Key points
- Gideon Yu resigned from both boards effective May 22, 2026; the filing says the resignation was not due to any disagreement with the company.
- Yu had been nominated for reelection in the April 15, 2026 proxy statement; because he resigned before the meeting, votes relating to his election were disregarded.

- Stockholders ratified Crowe LLP as auditor for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, with 26,350,596 votes for and 68,179 against.
