SEC filingOceanFirst Financial Corp. received all requisite regulatory approvals for its merger with Flushing Financial Corporation, with closing anticipated no later than June 1, 2026.
OceanFirst Financial Corp. and Flushing Financial Corporation have secured all necessary regulatory approvals for their previously announced merger under the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated December 29, 2025. The Federal Reserve's approval on April 24, 2026, completes the regulatory process, following earlier nods from the New York State Department of Financial Services on March 23, 2026, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency on April 6, 2026. Shareholder approvals from both companies were obtained on April 2, 2026, clearing a major hurdle. With no additional regulatory barriers, the transaction is poised to close by June 1, 2026, pending customary closing conditions. This milestone significantly de-risks the deal for investors, advancing the combination of OceanFirst Bank N.A. and Flushing Bank. Concurrently, OceanFirst announced its 2026 Annual Meeting for May 27, 2026, providing stockholders an opportunity to vote on other matters ahead of the merger close.
