Northfield stockholders should evaluate the election mix (stock vs. cash) based on their view of the combined entity's post-merger value and the 30% cash cap. The merger's completion hinges on the June 26 stockholder vote and the second-step conversion; watch for any updates to the appraised conversion value that could shift the consideration tier.

Executive Summary
Columbia Financial has mailed election forms to Northfield Bancorp stockholders, allowing them to choose between stock and cash consideration in the pending merger. The consideration is tied to the appraised full conversion value of the post-second-step holding company, currently estimated at $2.291 billion midpoint, which sets the exchange ratio at 1.425 shares or $14.25 cash per Northfield share. The election deadline is July 10, 2026, and the merger remains subject to stockholder approvals and completion of Columbia's second-step conversion.
