This Amendment to Form
15 (the “Amendment”) is being filed to withdraw by amendment the original Form 15 filed on June 30, 2014, that, as a result of clerical error, was mistakenly filed under an incorrect Central Index Key number.

Pursuant
to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Sterling Bancorp has caused this certification/notice to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned duly authorized person.
