     The Peoples Bank Employees’ Savings and Profit Sharing Plan and Trust (the “Plan”) is administered by the Peoples Bank SB (the “Plan Administrator”) and its assets are held by trustees. The Plan Administrator has designated the Employee Benefits Committee with authority to control and manage the operation and administration of the Plan. Pursuant to the Plan, participants are entitled to invest in the Issuer’s common stock (the “Employer Stock Fund”). Peoples Bank SB serves as the trustee (the “Trustee”) for the Employer Stock Fund. On June 10, 2003, the Plan was amended to rescind the right of plan participants to vote shares in the Employer Stock Fund and transferred voting rights to the Plan Administrator. As a result, the Employee Benefits Committee, on behalf of the Plan Administrator, had the power to direct the Trustee as to the voting and/or tender rights of all the Issuer’s common stock in the Employer Stock Fund. On July 22, 2004, the Plan was once again amended to restore the voting rights of plan participants to vote shares in the Employer Stock Fund. As a result, the Employee Benefits Committee no longer has the power to direct the Trustee as to the voting and/or tender rights of all the Issuer’s common stock in the Employer Stock Fund.
