Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.
  

   
The Reporting Persons have been disappointed with the book value of CBNJ and the lack of capital deployed in both accretive loan growth and share buybacks.  The Reporting Persons feel that the board of directors of CBNJ should undertake a sale process of CBNJ as soon as possible.

(a)
As of December 31, 2012, 13,336,776 shares of CBNJ's Common Stock were outstanding (as disclosed on CBNJ's Form 8-K dated February 4, 2013).  The aggregate number and percentage of Common Stock held by each Reporting Person is disclosed in Items 11 and 13 of such Reporting Person's cover page to this Schedule 13D.

The number of shares of Common Stock as to which each Reporting Person has (i) sole or shared power to vote or to direct the vote and (ii) sole or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition is disclosed in Items 7, 8, 9, and 10 of such Reporting Person's cover page to this Schedule 13D.
  
       

 
(c)
