issues?

Can I buy or sell stock directly through
OceanFirst?
- You may buy or sell stock through any broker of your choice.
If however, you choose afterward to participate in our dividend
reinvestment program, you may elect to make additional
quarterly cash investments of $100 to $5,000. This is handled in
conjunction with our transfer agent, American Stock Transfer and
Trust Company.
For more information on this program, please
ask for a Dividend Reinvestment and Discount Stock Purchase plan

How does a stock split affect my
shares?
- On May 15, 1998, our company authorized a two-for-one split in
the form of 100% stock dividend. For every share owned, an
additional share was awarded. This doubled the amount of shares
outstanding but also reduced the current price by approximately
one-half.
On May 17, 2002, our company authorized a
three-for-two split in the form of a stock dividend, with a cash
payment for fractional shares. This increased the amount of shares
outstanding by 50% but also reduced the current stock price by
approximately one-third.
The overall value of your
investment did not change but these splits allowed the shares to
be priced more attractively. If your original investment was
$20.00 per share, for valuation purposes each share now has a
value of $6.6667. TOP
Does OceanFirst offer a dividend
reinvestment program?
- Yes, we are pleased to offer this program to our shareholders.
Upon enrollment, your cash dividend will be used to purchase
additional shares of OceanFirst Financial Corp. common stock. The
program is a convenient and cost effective way to invest in our
company. There are no brokerage or other costs associated with
your participation. In addition, shares purchased with reinvested
dividends qualify for a 3% discount from the then current market
price of our common stock. Once enrolled in dividend
reinvestment, you also have the option of making additional
cash investments of $100 to $5,000 on a quarterly basis, again
with a 3% discount from the then current market price of our
common stock.
