Departure of Directors
As disclosed in the preliminary proxy statement for the 2024 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) of Pitney Bowes Inc. (the “Company”) filed with the SEC today, each of current directors Steven D.
Brill, Katie May, Sheila A. Stamps, Mary J. Steele Guilfoile and Darrell Thomas will not stand for re-election to the Board of Directors (the “Board”) at the Annual Meeting. The decision of each of these directors not to stand for re-election at
the Annual Meeting was not due to any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices. We thank them for their dedicated service and the major support they have provided during a critical
period of transition for the Company. The size of the Board will be reduced to five members, effective upon the conclusion of the Annual Meeting. In addition, when a permanent Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) is appointed, the Board intends to add
the appointed CEO to the Board as a sixth member.
