Explanatory Note
This Amendment No. 1 to Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) solely to amend and supplement Item 9.01 of the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Provident Financial Services, Inc. (“Provident”) on August 3, 2020, regarding the completion of its acquisition of SB One Bancorp (“SB One”) on July 31, 2020, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of March 11, 2020, between Provident and SB One. As noted below, Provident has determined that the financial statements of SB One and the related pro forma information are not required in the Current Report on Form 8-K, as amended by this Current Report on Form 8-K/A, because “substantially the same” information was previously reported, as contemplated under Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus forming a part of Provident’s Registration Statement on Form S-4, as amended (File No. 333- 237842), initially filed on April 24, 2020 and declared effective by the Commission on May 7, 2020 (the “Registration Statement”). The unaudited pro forma financial information for the periods identified below are included for informational purposes.

Pursuant to General Instruction B.3 of Form 8-K, the financial statements of the acquired company, SB One, are not required in the Current Report on Form 8-K, as amended by this Current Report on Form 8-K/A, because “substantially the same” financial statements were previously filed in the Registration Statement.

Pursuant to General Instruction B.3 of Form 8-K, pro forma financial information with respect to the acquisition of SB One by Provident is not required in the Current Report on Form 8-K, as amended by this Current Report on Form 8-K/A, because “substantially the same” information was previously filed in the Registration Statement.

Exhibit 99.1
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL
INFORMATION RELATING TO THE SB ONE MERGER
The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting, giving effect to the proposed Merger. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated statement of financial condition combines the historical financial information of Provident Financial and SB One as of December 31, 2019 and assumes that the Merger was completed on that date. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2019 combines the historical financial information of Provident Financial and SB One and gives effect to the Merger as if it had been completed as of January 1, 2019. The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial information is presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the results of operations or financial condition had the Merger been completed on the dates described above, nor is it necessarily indicative of the results of operations in future periods or the future financial position of the combined entities. Certain reclassifications have been made to SB One’s historical financial information in order to conform to Provident Financial’s presentation of financial information.
The actual value of Provident Financial common stock to be recorded as consideration in the Merger will be based on the closing price of Provident Financial common stock at the time of the Merger completion date. The proposed Merger is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2020, but there can be no assurance that the Merger will be completed as anticipated. For purposes of the pro forma financial information, the fair value of Provident Financial common stock to be issued in connection with the Merger was based on Provident Financial’s closing price of $15.01 as of April 9, 2020.
The pro forma financial information includes estimated adjustments, including adjustments to record assets and liabilities of SB One at their fair value, and represents the pro forma estimates by Provident Financial based on available fair value information as of the date of the Merger Agreement.
The pro forma adjustments included herein are subject to change depending on changes in interest rates and the components of assets and liabilities, and as additional information becomes available and additional analyses are performed. The final allocation of the purchase price for the Merger will be determined after it is completed and after completion of thorough analyses to determine the fair value of SB One’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities as of the date the Merger is completed. Increases or decreases in the estimated fair values of the net assets as compared with the information shown in the unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial information may change the amount of the purchase price allocated to goodwill and other assets and liabilities and may impact Provident Financial’s statement of income due to adjustments in yield and/or amortization of the adjusted assets or liabilities. Any changes to SB One’s shareholders’ equity, including results of operations from December 31, 2019 through the date the Merger is completed, will also change the purchase price allocation, which may include the recording of a lower or higher amount of goodwill. The final adjustments may be materially different from the unaudited pro forma adjustments presented herein.
Provident Financial anticipates that the Merger will provide the combined company with financial benefits that include reduced operating expenses. These cost savings are not included in these pro forma statements and there can be no assurance that expected cost savings will be realized. The pro forma information, while helpful in illustrating the financial characteristics of the combined company under one set of assumptions, does not reflect the benefits of expected cost savings or opportunities to earn additional revenue and, accordingly, does not attempt to predict or suggest future results. It also does not necessarily reflect what the historical results of the combined company would have been had our companies been combined during the period.
The unaudited pro forma combined condensed consolidated financial information has been derived from and should be read in conjunction with the historical consolidated financial statements and the related notes of Provident Financial, which are incorporated in this Proxy Statement/Prospectus by reference, and of SB One, which are included in the Proxy Statement/Prospectus.
The unaudited pro forma shareholders’ equity and net income are qualified by the statements set forth above and should not be considered indicative of the market value of Provident Financial common stock or the actual or future results of operations of Provident Financial for any period. Actual results may be materially different than the pro forma information presented.
