TrustCo Increases Dividend 5.3%: Long-Term Commitment to Payouts Supported by
Solid Earnings and Strong Capital Position
More Great News For Our Shareholders
Glenville, New York – August 18, 2026
The Board of Directors of TrustCo Bank Corp NY (TrustCo, Nasdaq: TRST) on August 18, 2026 declared an increased quarterly cash dividend of $0.40 per share, or $1.60 per
share on an annualized basis. The declared dividend represents an increase of 5.3% over the prior dividend amount. The dividend will be payable on October 1, 2026 to shareholders of record at the close of business on September 4, 2026.
Chairman, President, and Chief Executive Officer Robert J. McCormick said: “TrustCo’s commitment to paying a meaningful dividend is legendary – it spans more than a
century. We are very pleased to announce that the company’s earnings and balance sheet management support a capital deployment strategy that simultaneously enables a robust repurchase program and an increase in the already-meaningful quarterly
dividend. Our dividend payout no doubt has played a role in the growth in the company’s share price that we have seen over the past two years and the increase announced today will boost the dividend yield, making the stock even more attractive to
investors. We are optimistic that these factors will work together to further increase our market capitalization.”
