CURRENT REPORT ON FORM 8-K

EXPLANATORY NOTE

The current report on Form 8-K/A (the “Amendment”) amends the current report on Form 8-K dated May 4, 2023, filed by First Keystone Corporation (the “Company”) with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 10, 2023 (the “Original Form 8-K”). The Original Form 8-K reported the final voting results of the Company’s 2023 Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on May 4, 2023 (the “Annual Meeting”). The sole purpose of this Amendment is to disclose the Company’s decision regarding how frequently it will conduct future shareholder advisory votes to approve the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers.

ITEM 5.07    Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

As reported in the Original Form 8-K, the following were the results of the vote at the Annual Meeting on the frequency of advisory votes on executive compensation:

1 Year	2 Years	3 Years	Abstain	Broker Non-Votes
1,047,588	232,331	2,239,783	63,827	846,143

In light of the shareholder vote above, the board has decided that the Company will include a non-binding shareholder vote on the compensation of executives in the proxy materials every three years until the next required vote on the frequency of non-binding shareholder votes on the compensation of executives which will occur no later than the 2029 Annual Meeting of Shareholders
