EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Form 8-K/A is being filed as an amendment (“Amendment No. 1”) to the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by OceanFirst Financial Corp. (the “Company”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 10, 2011. The purpose of this Amendment No. 1 is to disclose the Company’s decision as to how frequently it will conduct future stockholder advisory votes regarding compensation awarded to its named executive officers.

ITEM 5.07. SUBMISSION OF MATTERS TO A VOTE OF SECURITY HOLDERS

At the Company’s 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the stockholders cast their votes with respect to the advisory vote on the frequency of future stockholder votes to approve, on an advisory basis, the compensation paid to the Company’s named executive officers (i.e., the frequency of the Say-on-Pay vote) as follows:

 

		One Year		Two Years		Three Years		Abstentions		Broker Non-Votes
		8,870,664		1,460,327		5,275,692		122,783		1,418,005

In light of the voting on this matter, in which the choice receiving the highest number of votes was “one year,” the Company’s Board of Directors has determined that it will hold future stockholder advisory votes on executive compensation on an annual basis, in accordance with the wishes of its stockholders, until the next required vote of the Company’s stockholders on the frequency of stockholder advisory votes on executive compensation.

SIGNATURES

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
