In addition to historical information, this presentation contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company.

The Company’s ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a material adverse effect on the operations of the Company and its subsidiaries include, but are not limited to: the risk that the proposed transaction between OceanFirst and Flushing Financial Corporation (“Flushing”) may not be completed in a timely manner or at all; the failure to satisfy the conditions to the consummation of the proposed transaction, including obtaining the requisite OceanFirst and Flushing stockholder approvals or the necessary regulatory approvals (and the risk that such regulatory approvals may result in the imposition of conditions that could adversely affect the combined company or the expected benefits of the transaction); the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstance that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement between OceanFirst and Flushing; the inability to obtain alternative capital in the event it becomes necessary to complete the proposed transaction; the effect of the announcement or pendency of the proposed transaction on OceanFirst’s and Flushing’s business relationships, operating results and business generally; risks that the proposed transaction disrupts current plans and operations of OceanFirst and Flushing; potential difficulties in retaining OceanFirst and Flushing customers and employees as a result of the proposed transaction; OceanFirst’s and Flushing’s estimates of its financial performance; the operational risk of lending activities, including the effectiveness of OceanFirst’s and Flushing’s underwriting practices and the risk of fraud; results of examinations by regulatory authorities of OceanFirst or Flushing and the possibility that any such regulatory authority may, among other things, limit OceanFirst’s or Flushing’s business activities, restrict OceanFirst’s or Flushing’s ability to invest in certain assets, refrain from issuing an approval or non-objection to certain capital or other actions, increase OceanFirst’s or Flushing’s allowance for credit losses, result in write-downs of asset values, restrict OceanFirst’s or Flushing’s ability or that of OceanFirst’s or Flushing’s bank subsidiary to pay dividends, or impose fines, penalties or sanctions; changes in the markets in which OceanFirst and Flushing compete; potential litigation relating to the proposed transaction that could be instituted against OceanFirst, Flushing or their respective directors and officers, including the effects of any outcomes related thereto; volatility in the trading price of OceanFirst’s or Flushing’s securities; the ability to implement business plans, forecasts, and other expectations after the completion of the proposed transaction, and identify and realize additional opportunities; the possibility that the transaction may be more expensive to complete than anticipated, including as a result of unexpected expenses, factors or events; the possibility that the anticipated benefits of the transaction are not realized when expected or at all, including as a result of the impact of, or problems arising from, the integration of the two companies or as a result of the strength of the economy and competitive factors in the areas where OceanFirst and Flushing do business; and the dilution caused by OceanFirst’s issuance of additional shares of its capital stock in connection with the transaction; changes in interest rates; inflation, general economic conditions, including potential recessionary conditions; levels of unemployment in the Company’s lending area; real estate market values in the Company’s lending area; potential goodwill impairment; natural disasters; potential increases to flood insurance premiums; the current or anticipated impact of military conflict, terrorism or other geopolitical events; the imposition of tariffs or other domestic or international governmental policies and retaliatory responses; the effects of a potential federal government shutdown; volatility in financial markets; slowdowns in securities trading or shifting demand for security trading products; the level of prepayments on loans and mortgage-backed securities; legislative/regulatory changes; monetary and fiscal policies of the U.S. Government, including policies of the U.S. Treasury and the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System; the quality or composition of the loan or investment portfolios; demand for loan products; deposit flows; the availability of low-cost funding; changes in liquidity, including the size and composition of the Company’s deposit portfolio, and the percentage of uninsured deposits in the portfolio; changes in capital management and balance sheet strategies and the ability to successfully implement such strategies; competition; demand for financial services in the Company’s market area; changes in investor sentiment and consumer spending, borrowing and savings habits; changes in accounting principles; a failure in or breach of the Company’s operational or security systems or infrastructure, including cyberattacks; the failure to maintain current technologies; reliance on third party service providers; failure to retain or attract employees; supply chain issues or labor shortages; the impact of pandemics on our operations and financial results and those of our customers; and the Bank’s ability to successfully integrate acquired operations. These risks and uncertainties are further discussed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, under Item 1A - Risk Factors and elsewhere, and subsequent securities filings and should be considered in evaluating forward-looking statements and undue reliance should not be placed on such statements.

Loan originations were robust at $1 billion for the quarter. ▪ Capital remained strong with an estimated CET1 ratio of 10.7% despite significant loan growth. The credit risk transfer, executed during the quarter, provides credit protection on a $1.5 billion residential loans pool, which significantly reduces risk weighted assets and drives a favorable increase to regulatory capital ratios. ▪ On December 29th, we announced the merger agreement with Flushing Financial Corporation which included a $225 million capital raise from Warburg Pincus that will fund concurrently with merger closing.
