Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Plan is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Plan&#8217;s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.</font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. </font></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt"><font><br></font></div><div style="margin-bottom:6pt"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:700;line-height:120%">Supplemental Information</font></div><div style="text-align:justify"><font style="color:#000000;font-family:'Times New Roman',sans-serif;font-size:10pt;font-weight:400;line-height:120%">The supplemental information in the accompanying schedule, Schedule H, Line 4i &#8211; Schedule of assets (Held at End of Year) as of December 31, 2023, has been subjected to audit procedures performed in conjunction with the audit of the Plan&#8217;s financial statements.

Our audit procedures included determining whether the supplemental information reconciles to the financial statements or the underlying accounting and other records, as applicable, and performing procedures to test the completeness and accuracy of the information presented in the supplemental information.

The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (&#8220;ERISA&#8221;). Effective February 18, 2022, Empower Trust Company became the Plan's trustee and served as the custodian of the Plan's assets through December 31, 2023.

Starting at the close of business on December 31, 2014, the Peoples Bancorp Inc. Common Stock Fund was frozen for new investments. However, participant account balances previously invested into the Peoples Bancorp Inc. Common Stock Fund prior to January 1, 2015 were permitted to remain invested in the Peoples Bancorp Inc.
