Introductory Note

This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed in connection with the closing of the transactions contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated September 4, 2024 (the “Merger Agreement”), by and between ConnectOne Bancorp, Inc., a New Jersey corporation (“ConnectOne”) and The First of Long Island Corporation (“FLIC”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, effective on June 1, 2025, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, among other things, at the closing, FLIC merged with and into ConnectOne, with ConnectOne as the surviving entity (the “Merger”). On June 1, 2025, immediately following the Merger, First National Bank of Long Island, a national banking association and wholly-owned subsidiary of FLIC, merged with and into ConnectOne Bank, a New Jersey chartered commercial bank and a wholly owned subsidiary of ConnectOne, with ConnectOne Bank as the surviving bank (the “Bank Merger” and, together with the Merger, the “Transaction”).

On June 1, 2025, the Merger was consummated. On June 1, 2025, immediately following the Merger and before the opening of business, the Bank Merger was consummated.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”), each share of common stock, $0.10 par value, of FLIC (“FLIC Common Stock”) outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than certain shares of FLIC Common Stock (i) held in the FLIC’s treasury and (ii) held by FLIC or ConnectOne, was converted into the right to receive 0.5175 of a share (the “Exchange Ratio”) of common stock, no par value per share, of ConnectOne (“ConnectOne Common Stock” and such consideration, the “Merger Consideration”). Holders of FLIC Common Stock will receive cash in lieu of fractional shares of ConnectOne Common Stock.

Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the Effective Time, each FLIC restricted stock unit fully vested and was converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, less applicable withholding taxes. Any applicable performance-based vesting conditions were deemed achieved at “target” level performance at closing.

The foregoing description of the Transaction and the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

As a result of the Merger, FLIC no longer fulfills the listing requirements of the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”). FLIC notified Nasdaq that trading in Company common stock should be suspended and the listing of Company common stock should be removed, in each case effective as of the Effective Time, and requested that Nasdaq file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a notification of removal from listing and registration of Company common stock on Form 25 to effect the delisting of all shares of FLIC Common Stock from Nasdaq and the deregistration of such FLIC Common Stock under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”). ConnectOne, as successor to FLIC, intends to file with the SEC a certification on Form 15 requesting the termination of the registration of the FLIC Common Stock under Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act and the suspension of FLIC’s reporting obligations under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act.
