LEE BONITA 4

What Happened

Bonita Lee, President & CEO of Hanmi Financial Corp. (HAFC), disposed of 3,769 shares on April 1, 2026. The transaction was reported as a payment for exercise price or tax liability (code F): 3,769 shares at $26.60 per share, for a total value of approximately $100,255. This appears to be a withholding/net-settlement to cover tax or exercise costs rather than a voluntary open-market sale.

Key Details

• Transaction date: 2026-04-01
• Price: $26.60 per share; Total value: ~$100,255
• Transaction code: F (payment of exercise price or tax liability — often indicates shares were withheld to cover taxes or option exercise costs)
• Shares owned after transaction: not disclosed in the provided filing excerpt
• Filing date: 2026-04-06 — appears later than the usual 2-business-day Form 4 deadline (filed late)

Context

• Code F transactions commonly reflect tax withholding or net-share settlement after stock option exercises or restricted stock vesting; they are typically routine administrative actions and do not necessarily signal a change in insider confidence.
• Because shares were withheld to satisfy tax/exercise obligations (not sold on the open market for cash), this is less informative about the CEO’s market view than an open-market purchase or sale.
