“Thank you for your continued support and investment in OceanFirst.”Dear Fellow Stockholder: On behalf of your Board of Directors, I am pleased to invite you to participate in the OceanFirst Financial Corp. (“OCFC” or the “Company”) Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held as a virtual meeting on Tuesday, May 21, 2024 at 8:00 a.m. Eastern Time. For detailed information regarding how to access the live webcast of the Annual Meeting and instructions for how to vote your shares, please refer to your proxy card. We welcome questions from stockholders during the meeting; please remember, however, you will need the information printed on the proxy card to submit questions during the virtual meeting. We encourage you to vote your shares prior to the Annual Meeting to ensure your stock is represented, even if you are planning to attend the virtual meeting. For your convenience, there are multiple options for voting your shares, including voting by telephone or online, using the instructions included on the proxy card. In addition, you may mail the proxy card using the envelope provided, however, please allow sufficient time for the proxy card to be received prior to the deadline. Please take a few moments to review the pages that follow in the Proxy Statement, as well as the Annual Report to Stockholders and Form 10-K. In addition to the formal business of the Annual Meeting, we plan to provide an update on the Company’s accomplishments in 2023. In 2023, the Company delivered profitable growth, increased deposits, and prudently grew our loan portfolio, all during a challenging operating environment. The Company’s Board of Directors, executive officers, and representatives from the Company’s independent registered accounting firm will be available during the question and answer period on the agenda of the virtual meeting. For those who are unable to attend the live webcast of the Annual Meeting, a replay will be available after and can be accessed by visiting www.oceanfirst.com and selecting the Investor Relations area.
