EXPLANATORY STATEMENT
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 is being filed by Flushing Financial
Corporation (the "Company") to transfer shares of the Company's common stock
originally registered for delivery under the Company's 1996 Stock Option
Incentive Plan ("Option Plan") and not previously delivered or subject to
outstanding awards under such plan or which become available for awards after
the date hereof to a new Registration Statement on Form S-8 to be filed
contemporaneously to register shares for delivery under the Company's 2005
Omnibus Incentive Plan ("Omnibus Plan").
The original registration statement, filed November 13, 2003, registered
900,000 shares (as adjusted for stock splits) for delivery under the Option
Plan. Of such shares none have been delivered, 31,006 shares are subject to
outstanding awards, and the remaining 868,994 shares are available for future
grants.
The Omnibus Plan, which was adopted on May 17, 2005, provides that shares
previously authorized for issuance under the Option Plan which have not been
delivered under such plan and are not subject to outstanding awards under such
plan as of May 17, 2005 or which subsequently become available for awards as a
result of forfeitures under such plan shall instead be used for awards under the
Omnibus Plan. Accordingly, the 868,994 shares that are available for future
grants are hereby deregistered from this Registration Statement and transferred
to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 contemporaneously filed by the Company
with respect to the Omnibus Plan. In addition, to the extent any of the 31,006
shares registered on this registration statement that are subject to outstanding
awards are not delivered to award holders as a result of forfeiture of awards,
the shares not delivered shall be available for awards under the Omnibus Plan
and shall be deemed transferred to the Registration Statement on Form S-8
contemporaneously filed by the Company with respect to such plan.
