4 terms
Agreement and Plan of Merger regulatory
"Disposed of pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated December 29, 2025"
An Agreement and Plan of Merger is a formal document where two companies agree to combine into one, outlining how the process will happen. It’s like a step-by-step plan for merging, and it matters because it shows both sides have agreed on the details before the official transition takes place.
Merger Consideration financial
"each share of Issuer common stock ... was converted into the right to receive 0.85 shares of OCFC common stock (the Merger Consideration)"
Merger consideration is the total payment a company or buyer offers to shareholders of a target company in exchange for combining the two businesses, and can include cash, shares in the surviving company, debt assumption, or a mix of these. Investors care because the form and amount affect the deal’s value, tax consequences, immediate cash received versus future ownership, and the risk and upside of holding new shares — similar to choosing between cash now or stock that could grow later.
restricted stock units (Issuer RSUs) financial
"Represents previously unvested Issuer RSUs awarded after the date of the Merger Agreement"
beneficially owns regulatory
"As a result of the Merger, the Reporting Person no longer beneficially owns, directly or indirectly, any shares"
Beneficially owns means a person or entity enjoys the economic benefits and control of a security even if the legal title or registration is held in another name. Think of it like having the keys and profits from a car that is registered to a friend: you use it, benefit from it, and make decisions about it even though the official paperwork lists someone else. For investors, this matters because it reveals who truly controls shares, affects voting power, potential conflicts of interest, and regulatory disclosure obligations.
