Forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties, which change over time and are beyond our control.

Because forward-looking statements are subject to assumptions and uncertainties, actual results or future events could differ, possibly materially, from those that OceanFirst anticipated in its forward-looking statements and future results could differ materially from historical performance. Factors that could cause or contribute to such differences include, but are not limited to, those included under Item 1A “Risk Factors” in OceanFirst’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, those disclosed in OceanFirst’s other periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as well as the possibility: that expected benefits may not materialize in the timeframe expected or at all, or may be more costly to achieve; that following the completion of the transaction, OceanFirst’s business may not perform as expected due to transaction-related uncertainty or other factors; that OceanFirst is unable to successfully implement integration strategies; reputational risks and the reaction of OceanFirst’s customers, employees and other constituents to the transaction; and diversion of management time on integration-related matters. For any forward-looking statements made in this press release or in any documents, OceanFirst claims the protection of the safe harbor for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
