Stilwell Activist Investments and affiliated entities filed a definitive proxy statement to solicit votes for a director nominee at Peoples Financial Corporation's 2026 annual meeting. The activist criticizes CEO Chevis Swetman for decades of minimal shareholder equity growth (less than 1% annually since 2006) despite significant executive compensation totaling approximately $7.8 million over 20 years. Stilwell is soliciting stockholder votes via a green proxy card for board representation and governance change.
