Dear Fellow PFBX Owner,

Chevis Swetman has overseen our Bank for decades. Here's what he's done for PFBX:

**At year-end 2006**, our Bank had $98.2 million in equity.<sup>1</sup> In **2020**, our Bank had $94.9 million in equity.<sup>2</sup> **Last year**, our Bank had $100.7 million in equity<sup>3</sup> (not including a big loss on its securities portfolio).<sup>4</sup> So, in two decades, shareholder equity increased less than 1% per year—while Chevis took home many millions of dollars for himself.<sup>5</sup>

Rather than the moniker, Peoples, "serving those in our Mississippi Gulf Coast community,"<sup>6</sup> why not state the truth: Peoples, "serving the Swetmans and their cronies, year-in and year-out, for decades"?

Now, that would be truthful.

Please vote the **GREEN CARD** for our nominee today.

Respectfully,<br> ![](image_001.jpg)<br> Megan Parisi<br> (787) 985-2194<br> mparisi@stilwellgroup.com

You can vote by telephone, online or by signing and dating the enclosed **<u>GREEN</u>** proxy card and returning it in the postage-paid envelope.

*If you have any questions, require assistance in voting your **<u>GREEN</u>** proxy card, or need additional copies of our proxy materials, please contact Okapi Partners at the phone numbers or email listed below.*
