FFIC Receives Shareholder Approval for Merger

By Chris Stiles • Tuesday, April 07 16:21 • Permanent Link

OceanFirst Financial Corp. and Flushing Financial Corp. said they have secured shareholder approval for their pending merger, clearing a major hurdle in the deal process.

The companies also said they had already received two key regulatory approvals: the New York State Department of Financial Services signed off on March 23, 2026, and the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency approved the transaction on April 6, 2026.

The deal still needs approval from the Federal Reserve Board before it can close, along with other customary closing conditions.

OceanFirst said its banking subsidiary has $14.6 billion in assets. Flushing Bank operates in Queens, Brooklyn, Manhattan and Long Island. Following these announcements, the company's shares moved -0.73%, and are now trading at a price of $14.92. Check out the company's full 8-K submission here.
