Stilwell Activist Investments, L.P. and affiliated entities, beneficially owning 738,135 shares (as of March 6, 2026), are soliciting proxies to elect Stewart F. Peck to the Board of Directors of Peoples Financial Corporation at its 2026 Annual Meeting scheduled for April 22, 2026. The dissident is using a green universal proxy card and recommends voting FOR Peck, FOR ratification of the auditor (EisnerAmper LLP), and AGAINST the say-on-pay proposal. Stilwell opposes all six management-nominated directors and urges stockholders not to return the Corporation's white proxy card.
