Proxy Statement

Errata Sheet

The proxy statement for the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders of OceanFirst Financial Corp. (the “Annual Meeting”), dated April 27, 2026, incorrectly identified the effect of abstentions on the proposals presented at the Annual Meeting. That information has been provided below.

This would not impact any shares that were previously voted in favor of or against any of the proposals, or impact any previously submitted broker non-votes or shares for which an abstention was selected.

Proposal 1 – Election of Directors
Broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast
Withheld votes will have no effect on the outcome of the election
Proposal 2 – Advisory Vote on Executive Compensation
Broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on voting of the proposal
Abstentions will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on voting of the proposal
Proposal 3 – Approval of the 2026 Stock Incentive Plan
Broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on voting of the proposal
Abstentions will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on voting of the proposal
Proposal 4 – Ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as the independent registered public accounting firm
Broker non-votes will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on voting of the proposal
Abstentions will not be counted as votes cast and will have no effect on voting of the proposal
