This Current Report on Form 8-K/A (the “Amendment”) amends the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by TrustCo Bank Corp NY (the “Company”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 23, 2017 (the “Original Form 8-K”). The Original Form 8-K reported the final voting results of the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders held on May 18, 2017 (the “Annual Meeting”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose the Company’s decision regarding how frequently it will conduct future shareholder advisory votes on the compensation of its named executive officers (“say on pay”). No other changes have been made to the Original Form 8-K.

Item 5.07

(d) As reported on the Original Form 8-K, at the Annual Meeting, in accordance with the recommendation of the Board of Directors, the Company’s shareholders recommended, by advisory vote, that the frequency of future advisory say on pay votes be annually. In accordance with these results and its previous recommendation, the Board of Directors determined that future advisory say on pay votes will be held annually until the next required advisory vote on frequency of future say on pay votes. The next advisory vote regarding the frequency of future say on pay votes is required to occur no later than the Company’s 2023 annual meeting of shareholders.
