TrustCo shareholders approve 500,000-share equity plan increase at May 19 annual meeting
At its May 19, 2026 annual meeting, TrustCo shareholders approved an amendment raising the shares available under the 2019 Equity Incentive Plan from 700,000 to 1,200,000. All nine director nominees were elected to one-year terms, and shareholders also approved the advisory say-on-pay vote and ratified Crowe LLP as auditor for 2026. The equity plan increase adds dilution potential for shareholders, but the filing does not quantify its effect.
