Acquisition

On June 28, 2012, Oriental Financial Group Inc. (“Company”) issued a press release announcing that on June 28, 2012 the Company and Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria, S.A. (“BBVA”) entered into a definitive acquisition agreement, pursuant to which BBVA agreed to sell to the Company, and the Company agreed to purchase from BBVA, all of the outstanding common stock of each of BBVA PR Holding Corporation (the sole shareholder of Banco Bilbao Vizcaya Argentaria Puerto Rico, a Puerto Rico chartered commercial bank, and BBVA Seguros, Inc., a subsidiary offering insurance services) and BBVA Securities of Puerto Rico, Inc., a registered broker-dealer (the “Acquisition”).

In addition, the Company announced that it had entered into definitive subscription agreements with various institutional purchasers to raise $84 million of new equity capital for the Company through a private placement (the “Placement”) of the Company’s 8.750% Non-Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock, Series C, $1.00 par value and $1,000 liquidation preference per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”).

The Company also announced a conference call for investors at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on June 28, 2012 regarding the Acquisition.

Included as exhibits hereto are presentation slides to be used in the conference call for investors and certain supplemental information relating to the Company.

Copies of the press release, investor presentation and the supplement information document are included in this report as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2 and 99.3, respectively, and are incorporated by reference herein.

Information provided herein regarding the post-Acquisition combined company is based in part on certain assumptions regarding the Acquisition and the value of the acquired assets and liabilities that the Company believes are reasonable. Actual results will vary from the projections, and the variations may be material. The Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any of these projections, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

The information in this report furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 shall not be deemed “filed” for the purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). It may only be incorporated by reference in another filing under the Exchange Act or the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, if such subsequent filing specifically references the information furnished pursuant to Item 7.01 of this report.
