The merger close and Warburg investment remove deal uncertainty and strengthen the balance sheet with $225M of fresh equity. However, pro forma EPS of $0.30 is below OceanFirst's standalone $0.36 due to share count dilution. Monitor Q2 2026 for cost synergy realization and integration progress. The warrants at $19.76 create a potential overhang but are deeply out-of-the-money at current prices.
