TrustCo Bank Corp NY
| Item 5.02(e) | Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers |
On July 19, 2016, the Board of Directors of TrustCo Bank Corp NY (the “Company”) adopted an Executive Compensation Clawback Policy (the “Policy”) that provides for the recovery by the Company of certain elements of compensation received by executive officers of the Company if the Company is required to restate its financial statements or if an executive officer has committed an act of material fraud or misconduct.
In general, if the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement due to the material noncompliance of the Company with a financial reporting requirement under the securities laws, regardless of whether such restatement is a result of misconduct, and the Compensation Committee determines that one or more of the Company’s executive officers covered by the policy received incentive-based compensation in excess of what should have been received based on the restatement during the three completed fiscal years immediately preceding the date on which the Company is required to prepare the restatement, the Company must recover the amount of such excess compensation, subject to certain, limited exceptions.
In addition, to the extent that the Compensation Committee determines that one or more of its executive officers committed one or more willful acts of material fraud or material misconduct that directly or indirectly had a material adverse effect on the Company, the Compensation Committee may require such officers to forfeit or reimburse the Company for some or all of the incentive-based compensation or other variable compensation awarded to or received by such officers during the twelve-month period following the commission of the acts of fraud or misconduct and/or occurrence of a material adverse effect.
The Compensation Committee has the sole authority to interpret and apply the Policy.
