Insights

Executive compensation analyst

Routine performance-based vesting with tax withholding, not open-market trading.

The CEO of Hanmi Financial Corp, Bonita Lee, received 22,260 shares of performance-based restricted stock after three-year criteria were met at a 120% payout. This reflects compensation tied to prior performance rather than a new investment decision.

Two code F entries show 11,156 shares delivered to satisfy tax obligations at $26.33 per share. These are not open-market sales and carry limited signaling value about the CEO’s view of the stock. After these entries, Lee’s reported direct stake is 208,077 shares, with an additional 1,000 shares held indirectly by her spouse.

Key Terms

restricted stock, performance criteria, tax-withholding disposition

3 terms

restricted stock financial

"the reporting person was granted 18,550 shares of restricted stock which would vest"

Shares granted to an individual that carry limits on transfer or sale until certain conditions are met, such as staying with the company for a set time or hitting performance targets. Think of them as a locked gift that gradually opens; for investors they matter because they affect how many shares may enter the market later, signal management incentives and potential dilution, and reveal confidence in future company performance.

performance criteria financial

"subject to the satisfaction of certain performance criteria. The performance criteria for the three year period"

tax-withholding disposition financial

"transaction_action": "tax-withholding disposition","transaction_code_description": "Payment of exercise price or tax liability"

A tax-withholding disposition is an event or transaction—such as selling or transferring securities, exercising options, or receiving compensation—that triggers a requirement to hold back part of the payment and remit it to tax authorities. It matters to investors because it reduces the cash they receive immediately and can change the timing and amount of taxable income, like a cashier taking a portion of your sale proceeds to pay taxes before you get the rest.
