HOPEMEDIUM SIGNALOPERATIONAL10-K

HOPE has completed its acquisition of Territorial Bancorp, transitioning from merger planning to post-acquisition integration and operations.

The language changes indicate the Territorial merger has closed, with the Hawaii franchise now operating as a division under the Territorial Savings brand. Management appears focused on integration execution rather than deal completion, though acquisition-related risks around synergy realization and customer retention remain prominent in risk disclosures.
