Risk factors and legal proceedings

The risks HOPE BANCORP INC names in Item 1A of its 10-K filed Feb 25, 2026: 18 risks under these headings, as written.⁴

• Risks Related to our Business
• Our commercial loan and commercial real estate loan portfolios expose us to risks.
• If we lose key employees, our business may suffer.
• Changes in U.S. trade policies, including the imposition of tariffs and retaliatory tariffs, may adversely impact our business, financial condition, and results of operations.
• Fraudulent activity or breaches or failures of our information system controls, including those related to cybersecurity incidents, could have a material adverse effect on our business.
• We rely on technology and information systems that may be disrupted, which would pose operational risks.
• The development and use of artificial intelligence (“AI”) presents risks and challenges that may adversely impact the Company’s business.
• Diverse views, increasing scrutiny and evolving expectations from customers, regulators, investors, and other stakeholders with respect to our environmental, social and governance practices may impose additional costs on us or expose us to new or additional risks.
• Legal and Regulatory Risks
• Governmental regulation and regulatory actions against us may further impair our operations or restrict our growth.
• We face a risk of noncompliance and enforcement action with the Bank Secrecy Act and other anti-money laundering statutes and regulations.
• SBA lending is an important part of our business. Our SBA lending program is dependent upon the federal government, and we face specific risks associated with originating SBA loans.

Legal proceedings

In the normal course of business, we are involved in various legal claims. We have reviewed all legal claims against us with counsel and have taken into consideration the views of such counsel as to the potential outcome of the claims. Loss contingencies for all legal claims totaled approximately $484 thousand at December 31, 2025. It is reasonably possible we may incur losses in addition to the amounts we have accrued. However, at this time, we are unable to estimate the range of additional losses that are reasonably possible because of a number of factors, including the fact that certain of these litigation matters are still in their early stages and involve claims for which, at this point, we believe have little to no merit. Management has considered these and other possible loss contingencies and does not expect the amounts to be material to any of the Consolidated Financial Statements.
