On 24-Jul-2025 Provident Financial Services (PFS) filed an 8-K announcing board approval of the Provident Bank Executive Severance Plan. Participation is limited to executives selected by the Compensation & Human Capital Committee and is conditional on waiving existing change-in-control agreements, preventing duplicate payouts. If terminated by the company without “cause,” a participant receives:

• cash severance equal to 1× base salary
• 1× target annual cash incentive
• company-paid health coverage for up to 12 months (via COBRA) and six months of outplacement services

Upon termination without cause—or resignation for “good reason”—within two years after a change-in-control, benefits escalate to 2× the above amounts for Valerie O. Murray and Ravi Vakacherla and 3× for CFO Thomas M. Lyons, plus a lump-sum payment equal to 12 months of COBRA premiums. The plan does not include excise-tax gross-ups; payments will be cut if necessary to avoid Section 4999 taxes when that yields a higher after-tax value for the executive. No financial statements or pro-forma data accompany the filing.

On 24 July 2025, Provident Financial Services, Inc. (NYSE: PFS) filed a Form 8-K under Item 7.01 – Regulation FD Disclosure. The filing simply furnishes an investor presentation (Exhibit 99.1) that will be used alongside the company’s Q2-25 earnings release, which is being issued the same day. Management notes the materials are “furnished” rather than “filed,” meaning they are not incorporated into liability provisions of the Exchange Act.

No financial statements, pro-forma information or transaction details accompany the report; Items 9.01 (a)-(c) are marked “Not applicable.” The only additional exhibit is the Inline XBRL cover page file. As a routine Reg FD communication designed to ensure simultaneous public access to earnings slides, the 8-K carries limited direct valuation impact but signals that detailed Q2 results will follow imminently.
