Insights

Stilwell is mounting a targeted proxy contest with a substantial stake.

Stilwell reports beneficial ownership of 15.99% (738,135) shares and is soliciting votes to elect Stewart F. Peck to the board at the April 22, 2026 meeting. The group uses a GREEN universal proxy card and urges holders to disregard management's white card.

The outcome hinges on vote solicitation and turnout given 4,617,466 shares outstanding as of the record date March 4, 2026. Subsequent public disclosures and tabulations at the meeting will show whether the Stilwell Nominee is elected.

This is an active proxy solicitation emphasizing universal proxy mechanics.

The supplement clarifies voting mechanics: stockholders may vote for up to six director nominees on the GREEN universal proxy card and should avoid returning multiple dated proxies. Stilwell specifies default vote positions: "FOR" its nominee and accounting firm, "AGAINST" executive compensation advisory proposal.

Key items to watch in filings and meeting disclosures are final vote counts, any revocations, and whether management obtains sufficient votes to retain its slate. Timing: materials were first furnished March 24, 2026.

SUPPLEMENT DATED MARCH 24, 2026 TO THE PROXY STATEMENT OF

STILWELL ACTIVIST INVESTMENTS, L.P.

IN OPPOSITION TO

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF PEOPLES FINANCIAL CORPORATION

------------------------------------------------------

PLEASE SIGN, DATE AND MAIL THE ENCLOSED GREEN UNIVERSAL PROXY CARD TODAY

 

Dear Fellow Stockholders:

 

Stilwell (as defined below) is one of the largest stockholders of Peoples Financial Corporation (the “Corporation” or “Peoples Financial”), which, together with certain other participants in its solicitation, beneficially own an aggregate of 738,135 shares of Common Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”), of the Corporation, representing approximately 15.99% of the Corporation’s outstanding shares of Common Stock. Stilwell is furnishing this Proxy Statement Supplement (the “Proxy Supplement”) and accompanying GREEN universal proxy card to the holders of the Common Stock in connection with the solicitation of proxies to elect Stewart F. Peck (the “Stilwell Nominee”) to the Board of Directors of the Corporation (the “Board”) at the Corporation’s 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders scheduled to be held on Wednesday, April 22, 2026, at 6:30 p.m., Central Time, at the Corporation’s offices located in The Swetman Building at The Peoples Bank, Suite 204, 727 Howard Avenue, Biloxi, Mississippi 39530 (including any adjournments, postponements, continuations or reschedulings thereof, the “Annual Meeting”).

 

Stilwell filed its Definitive Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 9, 2026. The Corporation subsequently filed its Definitive Proxy Statement for the Annual Meeting with the SEC on March 18, 2026. This Proxy Supplement discloses certain information about the Annual Meeting included in the Corporation’s Definitive Proxy Statement that had not been publicly available at the time we filed our Definitive Proxy Statement. Except as specifically modified or supplemented by the information contained in this Proxy Supplement, all information set forth in our Definitive Proxy Statement remains applicable. All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed thereto in our Definitive Proxy Statement.

 

This Proxy Supplement is dated March 24, 2026, and is first being furnished to stockholders of the Corporation on or about March 24, 2026.

 

There are currently six (6) directors serving on the Board, all of whom have terms expiring at the Annual Meeting. As described in more detail below and in our Definitive Proxy Statement, we are soliciting proxies to elect the Stilwell Nominee on the enclosed GREEN universal proxy card. In addition to the election of directors (“Proposal 1”), the other proposals on the agenda to be voted upon by stockholders at the Annual Meeting are: the ratification of the selection of the Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm (“Proposal 2”) and the advisory (non-binding) approval of the compensation of the named executive officers of the Corporation (“Proposal 3”).

 

 

 

Stilwell and Peoples Financial will each be using a universal proxy card for voting on the election of directors at the Annual Meeting, which will include the names of all nominees for election to the Board. Stockholders will have the ability to vote for up to six (6) nominees on Stilwell’s enclosed GREEN universal proxy card. There is no need to use the Corporation’s white proxy card or voting instruction form, regardless of how you wish to vote. Unless specified otherwise, proxies will be voted (a) “FOR” the election of the Stilwell Nominee to the Board in Proposal 1, (b) “FOR” the ratification of the appointment of EisnerAmper LLP as the Corporation’s independent registered public accounting firm in Proposal 2, and (c) “AGAINST” the (non-binding) proposal to approve the compensation of the Corporation’s named executive officers in Proposal 3.

 

As set forth in the Corporation’s Definitive Proxy Statement, the record date for determining stockholders entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting is March 4, 2026 (the “Record Date”). Stockholders who own shares as of the close of business on the Record Date will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. According to the Corporation’s Definitive Proxy Statement, as of the Record Date, there were 4,617,466 shares of Common Stock of the Corporation outstanding.

 

IF YOU HAVE SUBMITTED A GREEN UNIVERSAL PROXY CARD AND ARE A STOCKHOLDER AS OF THE RECORD DATE AND YOU DO NOT WISH TO CHANGE YOUR VOTE, THEN YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TAKE ANY FURTHER ACTION AND YOU DO NOT NEED TO SUBMIT THE ENCLOSED GREEN UNIVERSAL PROXY CARD. YOU SHOULD DISREGARD AND DISCARD, AND NOT VOTE, ANY WHITE PROXY CARD YOU RECEIVE FROM THE CORPORATION. ONLY YOUR LAST DATED PROXY CARD WILL COUNT.

 

As noted above, we are soliciting proxies to elect the Stilwell Nominee. Stilwell and Peoples Financial will each be using a universal proxy card for voting on the election of directors at the Annual Meeting, which will include the names of all nominees for election to the Board. Stockholders will have the ability to vote for up to six (6) nominees on Stilwell’s enclosed GREEN universal proxy card. There is no need to use the Corporation’s white proxy card or voting instruction form, regardless of how you wish to vote. Stockholders are permitted to vote for less than six nominees or for any combination (up to six total) of the Stilwell Nominee and the Corporation’s nominees on the GREEN universal proxy card. We believe the best opportunity for the Stilwell Nominee to be elected is by voting on the GREEN universal proxy card. Stilwell therefore urges stockholders using our GREEN universal proxy card to vote “FOR” the Stilwell Nominee. IMPORTANTLY, IF YOU MARK MORE THAN SIX “FOR” BOXES WITH RESPECT TO THE ELECTION OF DIRECTORS, ALL OF YOUR VOTES FOR THE ELECTION OF DIRECTORS WILL BE DEEMED INVALID.

The names, backgrounds and qualifications of the Corporation’s nominees, and other information about them, can be found in the Corporation’s Definitive Proxy Statement. There is no assurance that any incumbent director will serve as a director if the Stilwell Nominee is elected to the Board. For details regarding the qualifications of the Stilwell Nominee, please see our Definitive Proxy Statement filed with the SEC on March 9, 2026. If you need another copy of our Definitive Proxy Statement or this Proxy Supplement, please contact Okapi Partners LLC, which is assisting Stilwell with its effort to solicit proxies, at the address and toll-free number set forth on the back cover of this Proxy Supplement.

If you are a stockholder as of the Record Date, all GREEN universal proxy cards that have been submitted since the furnishing of our Definitive Proxy Statement and GREEN universal proxy card remain valid and will be voted at the Annual Meeting as marked. THEREFORE, IF YOU HAVE SUBMITTED A GREEN UNIVERSAL PROXY CARD, AND YOU DO NOT WISH TO CHANGE YOUR VOTE, THEN YOU DO NOT HAVE TO TAKE ANY FURTHER ACTION, AND YOU DO NOT NEED TO SUBMIT THE ENCLOSED GREEN UNIVERSAL PROXY CARD, AND YOU SHOULD DISCARD AND NOT VOTE ANY WHITE PROXY CARDS.

 

 

 

THIS SOLICITATION IS BEING MADE BY STILWELL AND NOT ON BEHALF OF THE BOARD OR MANAGEMENT OF THE CORPORATION.

 

STILWELL URGES YOU TO SIGN, DATE AND RETURN THE GREEN UNIVERSAL PROXY CARD IN FAVOR OF THE ELECTION OF THE STILWELL NOMINEE. YOU SHOULD DISREGARD AND DISCARD, AND NOT VOTE, ANY WHITE PROXY CARD YOU RECEIVE FROM THE CORPORATION.

 

THE LATEST DATED PROXY IS THE ONLY ONE THAT COUNTS. IF YOU HAVE ALREADY SENT A WHITE PROXY CARD FURNISHED BY THE CORPORATION’S MANAGEMENT OR THE BOARD, YOU MAY REVOKE THAT PROXY AND VOTE ON EACH OF THE PROPOSALS DESCRIBED HEREIN AND IN OUR DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT BY SIGNING, DATING AND RETURNING THE ENCLOSED GREEN UNIVERSAL PROXY CARD. ANY PROXY MAY BE REVOKED AT ANY TIME PRIOR TO THE ANNUAL MEETING BY DELIVERING A WRITTEN NOTICE OF REVOCATION OR A LATER DATED PROXY FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OR BY VOTING IN PERSON AT THE ANNUAL MEETING.
