TO OUR SHAREHOLDERS:
I would like to report to you the results of our Annual Meeting held May 19,
1997. The TrustCo shareholders were asked to vote on three proposals this year.
All three proposals were approved by overwhelming majorities of the shares
outstanding.
The first proposal dealt with the election of five directors to serve for
three-year terms, and one director for a one-year term. All six were elected and
include:
Three-Year Term:Barton A. Andreoli, President, Towne Construction & Paving Corp.
Nancy A. McNamara, Senior Vice President, Trustco Bank, N.A.
John S. Morris, PhD, President Emeritus, Union College
James H. Murphy, DDS, Orthodontist
William J. Purdy,former President, Welbourne & Purdy Realty,Inc
One-Year Term: Anthony J. Marinello, MD, PhD, Physician
The second proposal authorized an amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation
of TrustCo Bank Corp NY to adjust the minimum and maximum number of directors.
The third proposal ratified the adoption of KPMG Peat Marwick LLP as the
independent certified public accountants for TrustCo for 1997.
We thank all the shareholders who returned their proxies. Your support and
confidence are greatly appreciated.
I would also like to report that today the Board of Directors declared a regular
quarterly dividend of $0.275 per share. The dividend is payable July 1, 1997 to
shareholders of record at the close of business on June 6, 1997.
Thank you for the confidence you have placed in TrustCo.
Sincerely,
/s/Robert A. McCormick
