      This current report on Form 8-K/A (the &#8220;<b>Amendment</b>&#8221;) amends
      the current report on Form 8-K dated June 6, 2017 filed by New York
      Community Bancorp, Inc. (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) with the U.S. Securities and
      Exchange Commission (the &#8220;<b>Original Form 8-K</b>&#8221;).&#160;&#160;The
      Original Form 8-K reported the final voting results of the Company&#8217;s
      2017 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on June 6, 2017 (the &#8220;<b>2017
      Annual Meeting</b>&#8221;).&#160;&#160;The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose
      the Company&#8217;s decision regarding how frequently it will conduct future
      shareholder advisory votes to approve the compensation of the Company&#8217;s
      named executive officers (<b>&#8220;Say-on-Pay</b>&#8221;).&#160;&#160;No other changes

    </p>
    <p style="font-family: Times New Roman; text-indent: 30.0px; font-size: 10pt">
      As previously reported in the Original Form 8-K, in a non-binding
      advisory vote on the frequency of future Say-on-Pay votes held at the
      2017 Annual Meeting, 255,775,413 shares voted for one year, 2,338,191
      shares voted for two years, 64,349,052 shares voted for three years,
      3,260,021 shares abstained, and there were 117,919,269 broker non-votes.
      The Company has considered the outcome of this advisory vote and has
      determined, as was recommended with respect to this proposal by the
      Company&#8217;s board of directors in the proxy statement for the 2017 Annual
      Meeting, that the Company will hold future Say-on-Pay votes on an annual
      basis until the occurrence of the next advisory vote on the frequency of
      say-on-pay votes.&#160;&#160;The next advisory vote regarding the frequency of
      Say-on-Pay votes is required to occur no later than the Company&#8217;s 2023
      Annual Meeting of Shareholders.
