(i) $24.99 in cash or (ii) 0.9289 shares of OceanFirst common stock (with cash paid in lieu of fractional OceanFirst shares). The value of the per share consideration was determined by adding $21.21 (the product of 0.7884 and $26.9058, the
volume-weighted average trading price of OceanFirst common stock on the NASDAQ for the five trading day period ending on the last trading day preceding January 31, 2018) and $3.78. The aggregate amount of available cash consideration in the
transaction is $72,366,671.16, and the total number of Sun shares entitled to receive the cash consideration is 2,895,825. The final Election results are as follows:
•
8,435,982 Sun shares elected to receive the cash consideration. These Sun shares are referred to as the cash election shares.
•
9,778,170 Sun shares elected to receive the stock consideration. These Sun shares are referred to as the stock election shares.
•
930,470 Sun shares did not elect to receive a form of merger consideration. These Sun shares are referred to as the
non-election
shares.
The Elections are subject to the allocation and proration procedures set forth in the definitive agreement. Based on the final Election results, the cash
consideration was oversubscribed. The available cash consideration will be allocated on a pro rata basis among all of the holders of cash election shares. Accordingly, 34% of each holder's cash election shares was converted into the right to
receive the cash consideration, and the remaining 66% of such holder's cash election shares was converted into the right to receive the stock consideration. All of the stock election shares and all of the
non-election
shares were converted into the right to receive the stock consideration. It is expected that the exchange agent for the transmission of the merger consideration will mail a letter of transmittal
to each former Sun shareholder of record by February 7, 2018.
