Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return
As demonstrated by the following graph, the compensation actually paid to our CEO and the average compensation actually paid to the NEOs as a group (excluding our CEO) was directionally aligned with Peoples’ cumulative TSR between 2020 and 2021, between 2022 and 2023, and between 2023 and 2024, but was not directionally aligned between 2021 and 2022. The alignment between 2020 and 2021, between 2022 and 2023, and between 2023 and 2024 was due in part to the fact that a meaningful portion of compensation actually paid to our CEO and to the other NEOs was comprised of equity awards. Peoples’ strong cumulative TSR in 2021 and 2023 compared to 2020 and 2022, respectively, had the effect of increasing the relative value of the equity award component of compensation actually paid for 2021 and 2023. Likewise, the reduction in Peoples’ cumulative TSR in 2024 compared to 2023 had the effect of decreasing the value of the equity award component of compensation actually paid for 2024. The lack of alignment between 2021 and 2022 was due to the fact that Peoples’ cumulative TSR in 2022 did not reflect the strong improvement in the financial performance measures in 2022 that drove executive compensation that year, a trend similarly impacting the stock prices of the Peer Group and other financial institutions. Although the value of the equity awards component of compensation actually paid for 2022 declined as a result of the lower cumulative TSR, the reduction was more than offset by the increased amount of compensation driven by the improved financial performance measures listed above.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Net Income
As demonstrated by the following graph, the amount of compensation actually paid to our CEO and the average amount of compensation actually paid to the NEOs as a group (excluding our) was directionally aligned with Peoples’ net income for four of the five years presented. While Peoples does not use net income as a specific performance measure in its executive compensation program, the measure of net income is correlated with the measures of PTPP EPS, PTPP ROAA and the efficiency ratio, which Peoples does use in setting performance goals for executive compensation.

Total Shareholder Return Vs Peer Group
As demonstrated by the following graph, Peoples cumulative TSR in each of 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2024 fell short of that of the peer group used for benchmarking executive compensation, and Peoples' cumulative TSR in 2023 greatly exceeded that of the peer group.

Additional 402(v) Disclosure Cumulative total shareholder return (“TSR”) is calculated by dividing the sum of the cumulative amount of dividends for the measurement period (determined in accordance with Item 402(v) of SEC Regulation S-K), assuming dividend reinvestment, and the difference between Peoples’ common share price at the end and the beginning of the measurement period by Peoples’ common share price at the beginning of the measurement period.The dollar amounts reported represent the amount of net income reported in Peoples’ audited financial statements for the applicable year.As defined in the section “EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION: COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS” beginning on page 42 of this Proxy Statement.In accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K, Peoples is providing the following descriptions of the relationships between information presented in the “Pay Versus Performance Table.
