Flushing Financial (FFIC) fell 8.94% in pre-market trading on December 31, 2025, as concerns mounted over its proposed merger with

(OCFC). The deal terms, offering shareholders 0.85 shares of per share, have drawn scrutiny over potential undervaluation and legal challenges.

A legal investigation led by Kahn Swick & Foti is evaluating whether the merger’s valuation and negotiation process adhere to legal standards. Shareholders are advised to monitor developments as the transaction awaits regulatory and shareholder approvals. Market skepticism remains heightened, with investors weighing the fairness of the all-stock offer and its long-term implications.

The proposed merger, expected to close in Q2 2026, aims to create a regional banking entity with expanded operations in New Jersey and New York. However, the current stock decline reflects uncertainty around the deal’s financial terms, including a projected 6% tangible book value dilution and a three-year recovery period. Investors are urged to track regulatory timelines and legal outcomes before assessing further moves.

With the merger still in the approval phase, analysts are closely watching the share price trajectories of both companies for signs of regulatory sentiment. Meanwhile, legal experts caution that the 0.85 share exchange rate may become a point of contention during shareholder votes. Investors are advised to remain cautious and monitor any updates from the Securities and Exchange Commission or OceanFirst’s board of directors.

As the 2026 first-quarter progresses, shareholders of both

and OceanFirst Financial are expected to weigh in on the merger proposal. The legal team of Kahn Swick & Foti continues to gather evidence regarding the fairness of the deal's terms. Until clarity emerges, market participants are advised to exercise patience and closely track any changes in regulatory or legal conditions that may affect the merger’s viability.
