Context
- This was not an open-market sale but a corporate action tied to the merger: FFIC shares were converted into OceanFirst (OCFC) consideration. That means the transaction reflects merger consideration mechanics rather than a voluntary sale signaling sentiment. Approximately 48,091 FFIC shares would convert to about 40,877 OCFC shares at the 0.85 exchange ratio, with cash paid for any fractional shares.
