Stilwell Activist Investments and related entities are nominating Stewart F. Peck for election to the board of Peoples Financial Corporation at its April 22, 2026 annual meeting, continuing a six-year activist campaign. This is the third consecutive year Peck has been nominated by Stilwell, though previous nominees have not been elected. The company's board unanimously opposes Stilwell's nomination and recommends voting for its six nominees on the white proxy card.
