- Shareholder Agreement: A Trust holding 6,624,052 shares of PUB common stock (formerly held by Korea Exchange Bank) agreed to vote in favor of the merger and sell a majority of those shares to Hanmi for cash.
Material Changes
The primary material change is the execution of the Agreement and Plan of Merger. This transaction will result in the consolidation of Pacific Union Bank into Hanmi Bank.
