Item 8.01 Other Events
On November 23, 2021, the Board of Directors of The Peoples Bank, Biloxi, Mississippi, a wholly owned subsidiary of Peoples Financial Corporation (the “Company”), approved a resolution to amend the Director Deferred Fee Agreement offered to its directors and those of the Company to adjust the interest rate of the Deferral Account.
As reported in the Company’s proxy statement for the 2021 Annual Meeting, the Company, through the Bank, offers a Directors’ Deferred Income Plan whereby outside directors of the Company and the Bank are given an opportunity to defer receipt of their annual directors’ fees. For those who choose to participate, benefits are payable monthly for 10 years beginning on the first day of the month following the later of the director’s normal retirement age or separation from service. Normal retirement age is 65. The amount of the benefit will vary depending on the fees the director has deferred and the length of time the fees have been deferred. In the event of the director’s death, benefits are payable to the director’s named beneficiary.
Prior to the recently approved amendment, interest on deferred fees accrued at an annual rate of 10%, compounded annually, before payments commenced under the plan, and at an annual rate of 7.50%, compounded monthly, after payments have commenced under the plan. Following the amendment and beginning on January 1, 2022, on a prospective basis, interest on deferred fees will be accrued at an annual rate equal to the Chase Manhattan Bank Prime Rate as of December 31st of each year, compounded annually, before payments commence under the plan, and at that same rate, compounded monthly, after payments have commenced under the plan. As of the date of this report, the Chase Manhattan Bank Prime Rate is 3.25%.
