Other Events

As previously disclosed, on August 15, 2019, Bancorp of New Jersey, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (the “Company”) and ConnectOne Bancorp, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (“ConnectOne”), entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”), pursuant to which the Company will merge with and into ConnectOne (the “Merger”).

On October 18, 2019, an action captioned Paul Parshall v. Bancorp of New Jersey, Inc. et al., Docket No. C-276-19 (the “Action”), was filed in the Superior Court of New Jersey, Bergen County, Chancery Division, on behalf of a purported class of Company shareholders against the Company, its current directors and ConnectOne (collectively, the “Defendants”). The complaint in the Action alleges, among other things, that the registration statement on Form S-4 filed by ConnectOne on September 27, 2019 in connection with the Merger (as amended, the “Registration Statement”) omits material information with respect to the Merger, and therefore the plaintiff in the Action asserts causes of action alleging various breaches of fiduciary duties by the Defendants.

The Defendants believe that the Action is entirely without merit, and deny that any further disclosure beyond that already contained in the Registration Statement is required under applicable law to supplement the Registration Statement, and the joint proxy statement included therein, which has subsequently been disseminated to Company and ConnectOne shareholders. Nevertheless, to avoid the risk that the Action may delay or otherwise adversely affect the consummation of the Merger and to minimize the expense of defending such Action, the Defendants are making the following supplemental disclosures (the “Litigation-Related Supplemental Disclosures”). Nothing in this Current Report on Form 8-K shall be deemed an admission of the legal necessity or materiality under applicable laws of any of the Litigation-Related Supplemental Disclosures set forth herein.

The Litigation-Related Supplemental Disclosures supplement the proxy statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 22, 2019 (the “Proxy Statement”) and should be read in conjunction with the Proxy Statement, which Proxy Statement should be read in its entirety, along with periodic reports and other information the Company has filed with the SEC. To the extent that the information set forth herein differs from or updates information contained in the Proxy Statement, the information set forth herein shall supersede or supplement the information in the Proxy Statement. All page references below are to pages in the Proxy Statement, and terms used below, unless otherwise defined herein, have the meanings set forth in the Proxy Statement.

Forward-Looking Statements

All non-historical statements in this Current Report on Form 8-K (including, without limitation, statements regarding the pro forma effect of the proposed Merger, cost savings, anticipated expense, the accretive nature of the proposed transaction, revenue enhancement opportunities, anticipated capital ratios and capital, positioning, value creation, growth prospects and timing of the closing) constitute forward looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are typically identified by words such as “believe,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “target,” “estimate,” “continue,” “positions,” “prospects” or “potential,” by future conditional verbs such as “will,” “would,” “should,” “could” or “may”, or by variations of such words or by similar expressions. Such forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, statements about the benefits of the business combination transaction contemplated by the Merger, including future financial and operating results, and the combined company’s plans, objectives, expectations and intentions. These forward-looking statements are subject to numerous assumptions, risks and uncertainties which change over time. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made. Except to the extent required by applicable law or regulation, the Company assumes no duty to update forward-looking statements.

In addition to factors previously disclosed in the Company’s reports filed with the SEC, the following factors, among others, could cause actual results to differ materially from forward-looking statements: the ability to meet other closing conditions to the Merger, including approval by the shareholders of the Company and ConnectOne, on the expected terms and schedule; delay in closing the Merger; difficulties and delays in integrating Company business or fully realizing cost savings and other benefits; business disruption following the proposed transaction; changes in asset quality and credit risk; the inability to sustain revenue and earnings growth; changes in interest rates and capital markets; inflation; customer borrowing, repayment, investment and deposit practices; customer disintermediation; the introduction, withdrawal, success and timing of business initiatives; competitive conditions; the inability to realize cost savings or revenues or to implement integration plans and other consequences associated with mergers, acquisitions and divestitures; economic conditions; the reaction to the transaction of the companies’ clients, customers, employees and

counterparties; and the impact, extent and timing of technological changes, capital management activities, and other actions of the Federal Reserve Board and legislative and regulatory actions and reforms. Further information regarding the Company and factors which could affect the forward-looking statements contained herein can be found in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 and its other filings with the SEC.
