Two top commercial lending in Texas banks have recently terminated their merger agreement that was established at the beginning of this year, on January 23^rd. The mutual termination was needed for bother companies to continue to be successful on their own.

Hope Bancorp, Inc., the holding company for Bank of Hope had reached a merger agreement in January of 2017 with U & I Financial, which is the holding company for UniBank. Just last week, Globe Newswire reported that the two companies entered a mutual termination agreement.

Hope Bancorp, who specialize in commercial lending in Texas, had reported financial weaknesses after the 2016 audits of financial statements. Luckily, they have since made progress to improve and fix these issues in their own financial systems. As stated in the original merger agreement, because of the financial weaknesses found with Hope Bancorp, it has been agreed for the merger to not be complete.

The termination of the merger agreement includes that each party involved is responsible for their own costs and expenses that are associated with the termination transaction. However, this does exclude any fees or penalties that are caused by the actual termination between Hope Bancorp and U & I Financial.
