**<u>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE</u>**

**OCEANFIRST FINANCIAL CORP. AGREES TO SELL $1.4 BILLION OF MULTIFAMILY LOANS IN BALANCE SHEET REPOSITIONING**

**RED BANK, N.J. June 8, 2026. OceanFirst Financial Corp. (NASDAQ: "OCFC") ("OceanFirst"),** the holding company for OceanFirst Bank N.A. (the "Bank"), today announced that the Bank has entered into an agreement to sell $1.4 billion of multifamily loans, which represents a majority of the multifamily loans that it acquired in its recently completed acquisition of Flushing Financial Corporation, which closed on June 1, 2026. The sale will reduce the Bank's Commercial Real Estate concentration by $1.4 billion, and importantly, eliminate the majority of the Bank's exposure to rent-regulated properties in New York city. The agreed purchase price is consistent with initial valuation estimates disclosed at the time the acquisition was announced.

The Bank expects that the loan sales will be completed by the end of the second quarter. The actual amount of loans sold will be adjusted for amortization, prepayments and other adjustments, and the proceeds will be used to purchase highly liquid, investment-grade securities with average yields similar to the yields of the loans being sold. Further details of the balance sheet repositioning and impact on the combined company will be reported in the Company's second quarter earnings release and second quarter earnings conference call.
