Item 8.01.
Other Events.

On May 27, 2009, American Bancorp of New Jersey, Inc. (the “Company”) announced results of elections made by its stockholders as to the form of merger consideration to be received in the merger of the Company with and into Investors Bancorp, Inc. (“Investors”). Under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger, 65% of Company common shares are to be converted into Investors common stock and the remaining 35% will be converted into cash. Because the cash election option was oversubscribed by Company stockholders, stockholders who made a cash election for all or a portion of their shares of Company common stock will receive the cash consideration of $12.50 per share for approximately 39% of their cash election shares and will receive 0.9218 shares of Investors common stock per share for approximately 61% of their cash election shares. Company stockholders who elected stock or made no election will receive 0.9218 shares of Investors common stock for each of their Company shares.
 
The Company anticipates that the merger will close on May 31, 2009.
 
A press release announcing the merger consideration election is attached as Exhibit 99.
