Note 15. Transaction with Ocean First Financial Corporation

On November 4, 2021, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with OCFC and Coastal Merger Sub Corp., a Maryland corporation and a direct wholly owned subsidiary of OCFC (“Merger Sub”). Pursuant to the Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company, whereby the separate corporate existence of Merger Sub will cease and the Company will be the surviving corporation as a wholly owned direct subsidiary of OCFC (the “First-Step Merger”). Immediately thereafter, the Company will be merged with and into OCFC, whereby the separate corporate existence of the Company will cease and OCFC will be the surviving corporation in the merger (the “Second-Step Merger”, and together with the First-Step Merger, the “Integrated Mergers”). Immediately following the consummation of the Integrated Mergers, Delmarva will be merged with and into OceanFirst Bank N.A., the wholly owned national banking association subsidiary of OCFC (“OceanFirst”), with OceanFirst as the surviving bank (the “Delmarva Merger”). Immediately following the consummation of the Delmarva Merger, Partners will be merged with and into OceanFirst, with OceanFirst as the surviving bank (the “Partners Merger”).

At the effective time of the First-Step Merger, each share of Company common stock that is issued and outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the First-Step Merger, other than Exception Shares (as defined in the Agreement), will be converted into the right to receive either (a) 0.4512 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of OCFC or (b) $10.00, in each case, at the election of the holder of the Company’s common stock, subject to (x) a maximum of forty percent (40%) of the shares of the Company’s common stock being convertible into cash and (y) the allocation and proration provisions of the Agreement. The mergers remain subject to receipt of all required regulatory approvals and fulfillment of other customary closing conditions.
