ITEM 1.03		BANKRUPTCY OR RECEIVERSHIP.

On November 6, 2009, United Commercial Bank (the “Bank”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of UCBH Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”), was closed by the California Department of Financial Institutions (the “CDFI”) and the Bank’s banking charter was revoked by the CDFI. Receivorship of the institution was immediately thereafter tendered to, and accepted by, the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”).

In connection with the closure of the Bank, the FDIC issued a press release, dated November 6, 2009, a copy can be found at the FDIC’s website at http://www.fdic.gov/news/news/press/2009/pr09201.html.

ITEM 3.01		NOTICE OF DELISTING OR FAILURE TO SATISFY A CONTINUED LISTING RULE OR STANDARD; TRANSFER OF LISTING.

On November 9, 2009, the Company received a Nasdaq staff determination letter (the “Letter”) confirming that Nasdaq had halted trading in the Company’s common stock on November 9, 2009. The Letter indicated that Nasdaq was concerned about the Company’s ability to sustain compliance with all of the requirements for continued listing on Nasdaq, as well as the residual equity interest of the Company’s common stock holders. As a result, in accordance with Listing Rules 5101, 5110(b) and IM-5101-1, the Nasdaq staff has made a determination to delist the Company’s common stock from The Nasdaq Stock Market. The Company does not intend to appeal the delisting decision. As a result, trading will continue to be halted in the Company’s common stock until trading is suspended on November 18, 2009. A Form 25-NSE will then be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, which will remove the Company’s common stock from listing and registration on The Nasdaq Stock Market.

The Letter advised the Company that the Company’s common stock would not be eligible to trade on the OTC bulletin board or in the “Pink Sheets” at this time.

A copy of the Nasdaq Staff Determination Letter is filed as Exhibit 99.1.


ITEM 5.02		DEPARTURE OF DIRECTORS OR CERTAIN OFFICERS; ELECTION OF DIRECTORS; APPOINTMENT OF CERTAIN OFFICERS; COMPENSATORY ARRANGEMENTS OF CERTAIN OFFICERS.

On November 6, 2009, upon receivership of the Bank described in Item 1.03 above, the Bank’s officers and directors ceased having those roles and responsibilities formerly associated with their respective positions.

On November 10, 2009, Tony Ka Wah Tsui, Executive Vice President and Director of the Greater China Region, resigned from his position with the Company.

On November 11, 2009, Doreen Woo Ho informed the Company that she would resign as the President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, effective as of February 11, 2010.


ITEM 8.01		OTHER EVENTS.

Following the FDIC’s appointment as the receiver of the Bank, as described in Item 1.03 above, on November 10, 2009, the board of directors of the Company adopted the resolutions authorizing the filing of a voluntary petition in the United States Bankruptcy Court, seeking relief under Chapter 7 of Title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Subsequent to filing of the petition, the court will appoint a bankruptcy trustee who will be responsible for liquidating the Company in an orderly fashion.
