Explanatory Note:  Deregistration of Securities
 
This Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to the registration statement on Form S-3 is being filed in order to deregister all securities remaining unissued under that certain registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-84169) (the “Registration Statement”) which was filed on July 30, 1999 to register 150,000 shares (as adjusted for common stock splits and stock dividends) of the common stock of Peoples Financial Services Corp. (the “Company”) issuable under the Shareholders Automatic Dividend Reinvestment and Stock Purchase Plan (the “Plan”).  No filing fee is required because the fee was submitted under the original filing.

Accordingly, the Company is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 2 to the Registration Statement, in accordance with the undertakings of the Company in Part II of the Registration Statement, to remove from registration the 122,710 shares of common stock that had been registered for issuance but remain unsold under the Plan as of the date hereof.
