Forward Looking Statements:

This

presentation

contains

certain

forward-looking

statements

within

the

meaning

of

the

Private

Securities

Reform

Act

of

1995,

which

are

based

on

certain

assumptions

and

describe

future

plans,

strategies

and

expectations

of

the

Company.

These

forward-

looking

statements

are

generally

identified

by

use

of

the

words

“believe”,

“expect”,

“intend”,

“anticipate”,

“estimate”,

“project”,

“will”,

“should”,

“may”,

“view”,

“opportunity”,

“potential”,

“confident”

or

similar

expressions.

The

Company’s

ability

to

predict

results

or

the

actual

effect

of

future

plans

or

strategies

is

inherently

uncertain.

Factors

which

could

have

a

material

adverse

effect

on

the

operations

of

the

Company

and

the

subsidiaries

include,

but

are

not

limited

to,

changes

in

interest

rates,

general

economic

conditions,

legislative/regulatory

changes,

monetary

and

fiscal

policies

of

the

U.S.

Government,

including

policies

of

the

U.S.

Treasury

and

the

Board

of

Governors

of

the

Federal

Reserve

System,

the

quality

or

composition

of

the

loan

or

investment

portfolios,

demand

for

loan

products,

deposit

flows,

competition,

demand

for

financial

services

in

the

Company’s

market

area

and

accounting

principles

and

guidelines.

These

risks

and

uncertainties

are

further

discussed

in

the

Company’s

Annual

Report

on

Form

10-K

for

the

year

ended

December

31,

2009

and

should

be

considered

in

evaluating

forward-

looking

statements

and

undue

reliance

should

not

be

placed

on

such

statements.

The

Company

does

not

undertake

–

and

specifically

disclaims

any

obligation

–

to

publicly

release

the

result

of

any

revisions

which

may

be

made

to

any

forward-looking

statements

to

reflect

events

or

circumstances

after

the

date

of

such

statements

or

to

reflect

the

occurrence

of

anticipated

or

unanticipated

events.

Our 108-Year History

Our 108-Year History

Founded in Point Pleasant, NJ, in 1902, OceanFirst has

grown from a small one-town savings and loan to a full-service

community bank serving the Jersey shore.

Completed a follow-on common stock offering in November 2009 with          

part of the $54.2 million proceeds used on December 30 to redeem

the Preferred Stock investment made by the U.S. Treasury.

OceanFirst went public in 1996 and since then has been successful         

as a public company generating value for our shareholders.
