+  
+On December 1, 2021, Columbia Financial, Inc. (the “Company”), the parent company of Columbia Bank (the “Bank”), and Columbia Bank MHC, the Company’s mutual holding company parent (the “MHC” and, together with the Company and the Bank, the “Columbia Entities”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with RSI Bancorp, M.H.C., RSI Bancorp, Inc. and RSI Bank (collectively, the “RSI Entities”), pursuant to which (i) RSI Bancorp, M.H.C. will merge with and into the MHC, with the MHC as the surviving entity, (ii) RSI Bancorp, Inc. will merge with and into the Company (or a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company to be formed after the date of the Merger Agreement), with the Company (or such wholly owned subsidiary of the Company) as the surviving entity; and (iii) RSI Bank will merge with and into Columbia Bank, with Columbia Bank as the surviving institution (collectively, the “Merger”).
+
+Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, depositors of RSI Bank will become depositors of the Bank and will have the same rights and privileges Columbia Bank MHC as if their accounts had been established at Columbia Bank on the date established at RSI Bank. As part of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, the Company will issue additional shares of its common stock to the MHC in an amount equal to the fair value of the RSI Entities as determined by an independent appraiser.
+
+The Merger Agreement has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of each of the Columbia Entities and the RSI Entities. Subject to the receipt of all required regulatory and other approvals, and the satisfaction or waiver of other customary closing conditions, the parties anticipate that the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement will close in the second quarter of 2022. 
+
+Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, following the completion of the Merger, Columbia Bank will appoint one director of RSI Bank to serve on its Board of Directors.
+
+The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties from the Columbia Entities and the RSI Entities, each with respect to its and its subsidiaries’ businesses. Each party has also agreed to customary covenants, including, among others, covenants relating to the conduct of its business during the interim period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the effective time of the Merger. Under the Merger Agreement, the RSI Entities have agreed that, subject to certain exceptions, it will not, and will cause its subsidiaries and their representatives not to, solicit, initiate, encourage or take any action to facilitate (including by providing non-public information) any inquiries or proposals with respect to any third party acquisition proposals. The Merger Agreement provides certain termination rights for each of the Columbia Entities and the RSI Entities, and further provides that if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances, the RSI Entities will be obligated to pay the Columbia Entities a termination fee equal to $2.5 million. 
+
+As described above, the consummation of the Merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including, but not limited to, (i) receipt of all required regulatory and other approvals, and (ii) the absence of any law or order prohibiting the closing. In addition, each party’s obligation to consummate the Merger is subject to certain other customary conditions, including (i) the accuracy of the representations and warranties of the other party subject to certain materiality standards and (ii) compliance in all material respects by the other party with its covenants.
+
+The Merger Agreement includes customary representations, warranties and covenants of the Columbia Entities and the RSI Entities made to each other as of specific dates. The assertions embodied in those representations and warranties were made solely for purposes of the Merger Agreement and are not intended to provide factual, business or financial information about the Columbia Entities or the RSI Entities. Moreover, some of those representations and warranties may not be accurate or complete as of any specified date, may be subject to a contractual standard of materiality different from those generally applicable to shareholders or different from what a shareholder might view as material, may have been used for purposes of allocating risk between the Columbia Entities and the RSI Entities rather than establishing matters as facts, may have been qualified by certain disclosures not reflected in the Merger Agreement that were made to the other party in connection with the negotiation of the Merger Agreement and generally were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement.
+
+The foregoing description of the Merger Agreement is included to provide information regarding its terms and does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 2.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and is incorporated herein by reference.

These statements are based upon the current beliefs and expectations of Columbia’s management and are subject to significant risks and uncertainties.
+
+Actual results may differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements as a result of numerous factors.

+  
+On December 10, 2021 a Stipulation and Agreement of Compromise, Settlement and Release (the “Settlement Agreement”) was filed in relation to a lawsuit involving Columbia Financial, Inc. (the “Company”) and certain of its current and former directors pending in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware entitled _Pascal v. Czerwinski, et. al._ , C.A. No. 2020-0320-SG (the “Settlement”). The Settlement resolves a lawsuit (the “Litigation”) challenging the equity compensation granted on or about July 23, 2019 to persons who were then-directors of the Company (the “Defendants”) (collectively, “2019 Equity Grants”). The Litigation alleged, derivatively on behalf of current holders of stock of the Company, that the granting of the 2019 Equity Grants violated the directors’ fiduciary duties and sought, among other things, cancellation of the 2019 Equity Grants made to the Defendants. The Litigation further asserted class claims brought on behalf of stockholders of the Company on April 12, 2019 and their successors and assigns (the “Class”) alleging that the proxy statement disseminated to obtain stockholder approval of the Company’s 2019 Equity Incentive Plan was false and misleading, and that the stockholders’ approval of that plan was therefore legally invalid. The clams challenging the disclosures in the proxy statement were dismissed, subject to a right of appeal.
+
+Without admitting the validity of any of the claims asserted in the Litigation, or any liability with respect thereto, and expressly denying all allegations of wrongdoing, fault, liability, or damage against the Company and the Defendants arising out of any of the conduct, statements, acts or omissions alleged, or that could have been alleged, in the Litigation, the Company and the Defendants have concluded that it is desirable that the claims be settled on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Settlement Agreement. The Company and the Defendants are entering into the Settlement Agreement for settlement purposes only and solely to avoid the costs, risks, distraction, and uncertainties of continued litigation. Pursuant to the Settlement, and subject to final approval of the Settlement by the Delaware Court of Chancery, and in exchange for a release of all claims by the plaintiffs and a dismissal of the Litigation with prejudice, the Company has agreed to submit the 2019 Equity Grants to a binding vote of its stockholders at a stockholder meeting to be held in 2022 at a date to be determined that is within four months from the date of final approval of the Settlement by the Delaware Court of Chancery**.**
+
+On December 15, 2021, the Delaware Court of Chancery entered an order preliminarily certifying the Class for purposes of the Settlement and providing for notice to stockholders of the final certification of the Class and of Settlement. The Court will consider whether to enter an order providing for final certification of the Class and approval of the Settlement at a hearing currently scheduled for February 7, 2022, at 11:30 a.m. The Company respectfully refers you to full copies of (a) the Settlement Agreement; (b) the Notice of Pendency of Derivative Action, Proposed Settlement, and Settlement Hearing; and (c) the Court’s Order Approving Notice of Settlement and Scheduling Settlement Approval Hearing and (d) the proposed Final Order and Judgment that the Court will be asked to enter if the Settlement is approved.. These documents are attached as exhibits to this Form 8-K, incorporated by reference herein, and are available on the Company’s website at https://ir.columbiabankonline.com/news/default.aspx. Information contained in or accessible through the Company’s website does not constitute part of, and is not incorporated into, this Current Report on Form 8-K.
+
+The Company does not expect the Settlement and related matters, including any future award of attorney’s fees to the Plaintiff’s counsel, to have a material impact on its financial condition or results of operations.
+
+**Forward-Looking Statements**
+
+This Form 8-K contains forward-looking statements made pursuant to the “safe harbor” provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995\. Investors are cautioned that statements in this Form 8-K regarding: (i) the Stipulation, (ii) the impact of such settlement, including related activities, approvals and payments, and (iii) other statements that are not historical facts, constitute forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements, including the forward-looking statements in this Form 8-K, involve risks and uncertainties that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results and expectations expressed in these forward-looking statements. These statements are based on current expectations, forecasts and assumptions, and actual outcomes and results could differ materially from these statements due to a number of factors, which include, but are not limited to, the risk factors disclosed in the periodic and current reports filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission from time to time, including the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date hereof. The Company assumes no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, except as required by law.

As a result of the planned change, there will be a blackout period beginning at 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on January 20, 2022, that is expected to end during the week of February 20, 2022 (the “Blackout Period”). During the Blackout Period participants and beneficiaries in the 401(k) Plan will be temporarily unable to check their account balances, make changes to their individual accounts, direct or diversify investments in their individual accounts, including accounts that hold common stock of the Company, or obtain a loan or distribution from the 401(k) Plan. The notification described under Section 101(i)(2)(E) of the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 relating to the blackout period was provided to the Company on December 17, 2021. 
+
+  
+
+
+On December 22, 2021, the Company provided written notice (the “Notice”) to its directors and executive officers informing them that there will be a Blackout Period with respect to the 401(k) Plan. During that Blackout Period directors and executive officers will not be able to purchase, sell or otherwise acquire or transfer, directly or indirectly, any shares of Company common stock acquired in connection with their service or employment as a director or an executive officer of the Company, including the exercise of stock options. 
+
+  
+
+
+The Notice was provided to the Company’s directors and executive officers pursuant to the requirements of Section 306 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and Rule 104 of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Regulation BTR. A copy of the Notice is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.

+  
+(1)| Reflects salary amounts that include cash compensation earned by each NEO, including any portion of these amounts contributed to the tax-qualified 401(k) plan or the SIM. Due to the timing of payroll in 2020, amounts reflected in the 2020 row reflect one additional pay period than in typical years.  
+---|---  
+(2)| The discretionary bonus paid to Mr. Gibney in fiscal year 2019 was in recognition of his outstanding performance with respect to the two mergers that the Company announced in 2019. Ms. Schlesinger was entitled to a sign on bonus of $50,000 in connection with her employment by the Company in 2018, which was paid in fiscal year 2019.  
+(3)| Reflects the aggregate grant date fair value of restricted stock awards granted in 2019 under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 for stock-based compensation. The amounts were calculated based on the Company’s stock price on the date of grant, which was July 23, 2019 for all named executive officers other than Mr. Lewis. For the performance-based portion of the 2019 restricted stock awards, the grant date fair value reflects the number of shares that are expected to vest based on the probable outcome of the performance results (i.e., target level of performance). With respect to Mr. Lewis, the amounts were calculated based on the Company’s stock price on the date of grant, which was March 22, 2021. These amounts reflect the total grant date fair value for these restricted stock awards and do not correspond to the actual value that will be recognized as income by each of the NEOs when received.  
+(4)| Reflects the aggregate grant date fair value of stock options granted in 2019 under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan, calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 for stock-based compensation based upon a fair value of $4.25 for each option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, other than Mr. Lewis. With respect to Mr. Lewis, a fair value of $4.91 was used for each option using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. The actual value, if any, realized by a named executive officer from any option will depend on the extent to which the market value of the common stock exceeds the exercise price of the option on the date the option is exercised. Accordingly, there is no assurance that the value realized by a named executive officer will be at or near the value estimated above.  
+  
+(5)| For 2021, represents non-discretionary, performance-based cash payments earned by each named executive officer during each year presented under the PAIP, which is described above under “ _Short-Term Incentives_.” For 2021, specific amounts were as follows:  
+---|---  
+  
+|  | **Columbia Bank Performance**  
+**Achievement Incentive Plan(a)**|   
+---|---|---|---  
+Mr. Kemly|  | $| 765,160|   
+Mr. Gibney|  |  | 334,029|   
+Mr. Allen|  |  | 441,025|   
+Mr. Klimowich|  |  | 240,408|   
+Ms. Schlesinger|  |  | 294,737|   
+Mr. Lewis|  |  | 262,719|   
+  
+| (a)| Represents performance-based payments earned under the PAIP, which is previously discussed in more detail under the section entitled “ _Short-Term Incentives_ ” above. The Company’s 2021 audit report, which will be filed no later than March 1, 2022 with the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, may result in adjustments to the performance measures under the PAIP. The PAIP awards are subject to adjustment if the performance measures change as a result of the audit. The amounts reported for 2021 were based on 2021 performance and will be paid to the NEOs on March 4, 2022.  
+---|---|---  
+  
+For 2019 and 2020, in addition to awards made under the PAIP for such years, the sum in this column also represents awards made prior to 2019 under the Columbia Bank Long-Term Incentive Plan (“Cash LTIP”), which plan was terminated in 2019. Prior to termination of the Cash LTIP, Cash LTIP awards were granted annually using a three-year performance period. A participant was eligible to earn a target Cash LTIP award for a performance period with the amount of such awards based on a percentage of the participant’s base salary. The participant was eligible to earn a percentage of the target award for a performance period based on achievement of one or more performance measures established by the Compensation Committee of the Board for that performance period with two-thirds of the earned amount paid in cash within two and a half months following completion of the performance period and one-third of the earned amount paid in cash one year later subject to continued employment of the participant during that year. Under the Cash LTIP, awards were granted annually using a three-year performance period, with (i) two-thirds of a participant’s award for each three-year performance period earned at the end of the performance period and (ii) the remaining one-third earned one year later, subject to the participant’s continued employment as of the end of the one-year period following the end of the performance period.
+
+(6)| Reflects the actuarial change in pension value in each individual’s accrued benefit under the defined benefit pension plan (and the supplemental plans) from December 31 of the prior year to December 31 of the reported year. Pension values may fluctuate significantly from year to year depending on a number of factors, including age and the assumptions used to determine the present value of a named executive officer’s accumulated benefit, including interest rates. The change in pension value reflects changes in interest rate assumptions, age, service and earnings during 2021. See “— _Retirement Benefits_ ” footnote 2 to the pension plan table below for more information.  
+---|---  
+(7)| Details of the amounts disclosed in the “ _All Other Compensation_ ” column for 2021 are provided in the table below, which reflects the types and dollar amounts of perquisites and other personal benefits provided to the NEOs in 2021. Except as otherwise noted, the actual incremental costs to the Company of providing the perquisites and other personal benefits to the NEOs was used.

+**Updated 2021 Pay Ratio Disclosure**
+
+The Special Meeting Proxy Statement included certain information about the relationship between the annual total compensation of the Company’s CEO, Mr. Kemly, and the median of the annual total compensation of our employees for 2021 (the “2021 CEO Pay Ratio”). The information included in the Special Meeting Proxy Statement was based, in part, on Mr. Kemly’s total annual compensation for 2021 as reflected in the Summary Compensation Table included in the Special Meeting Proxy Statement, which did not include any amount in respect of the ESOP and SERP Allocations for Mr. Kemly as discussed above as that information was not available as of February 23, 2022, the date of the Special Meeting Proxy Statement. As reported in the Special Meeting Proxy Statement, the Company’s 2021 CEO Pay Ratio excluding any amount in respect of the ESOP and SERP Allocations was 17 to 1.
+
+As discussed above, information regarding the ESOP and SERP allocations for our named executive officers became available on April 5, 2022 and such amounts are now included in the calculation of Mr. Kemly’s total compensation. This results in a final 2021 CEO Pay Ratio of 18 to 1, based on the following:
+
+| ·| the annual total compensation of Mr. Kemly for 2021, using Mr. Kemly’s updated 2021 total compensation of $2,131,936, including the ESOP and SERP allocations for Mr. Kemly for 2021 as set forth above; and  
+---|---|---  
+| ·| the median of the annual total compensation of all of the Company’s employees (other than Mr. Kemly), determined in accordance with Item 402(u) of Regulation S-K, which was $121,439.  
+  
+Reference is hereby made to the “Pay Ratio Disclosure” section of the Special Meeting Proxy Statement on page 32 for additional information about the 2021 CEO Pay Ratio and how it was calculated.
