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, marking the sixth consecutive year of a proxy contest. The company's board unanimously opposes the Stilwell nomination and recommends voting for its six director candidates on the white proxy card. This is the third consecutive year that Stewart F. Peck has served as the Stilwell Group's nominee, following five unsuccessful prior attempts to elect a director.
