(1) | Director compensation for individuals who served both as directors and NEOs during fiscal year 2025 is fully reflected in the Summary Compensation Table for 2025 on page 63 of this Proxy Statement and such individuals are excluded from the table. Excluded individuals are Kurt Wolf and former directors Paul Evans and Todd Everett. Mr. Wolf served as an independent director until his appointment as CEO in May 2025, after which he did not receive additional compensation for Board service. Outstanding stock awards granted to Mr. Wolf for his service as a director will continue to vest as scheduled during his employment service. Messrs. Evans and Everett each resigned from the Board in connection with their appointments as executive officers of Pitney Bowes Inc. in July 2025 and September 2025, respectively. Upon such transitions, outstanding RSUs previously granted to these individuals as non-employee directors vested on an accelerated basis. |
(2) | Board, committee, and chair retainers are paid quarterly and are prorated for directors serving less than a full year. |
(3) | Represents the aggregate grant date fair value of RSUs granted to the non-employee directors during fiscal year 2025. No restricted stock or stock options were granted during 2025. Upon election, each non-employee director received an RSU award with a grant date fair value of $100,000 calculated using the $9.56 closing price of the Company’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on May 13, 2025, the applicable grant date. Messrs. Brimm, Rosenthal, and Walker received prorated RSU awards in connection with their mid-year appointments. The number of RSUs granted to each such director was determined by dividing a prorated portion of the $100,000 annual equity award by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the applicable grant date: $10.39 on June 18, 2025 for Mr. Rosenthal; $11.40 on August 6, 2025 for Mr. Brimm; and $11.79 on September 22, 2025 for Mr. Walker. When dividing an award value by the closing stock price, the number of RSUs granted to non-employee directors is rounded up to the nearest whole number, and the value reported in the table reflects the value as calculated with the actual number of RSUs granted. The grant date fair value of equity awards is calculated in accordance with FASB ASC 718. The assumptions used in these calculations are described in Note 20, “Stock-Based Compensation Plans,” to the Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Form 10-K/A for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025. |
(4) | Following their departure from the Board, Ms. Alberti-Perez and Ms. Schoenfeld served as consultants to the Company. Ms. Alberti-Perez earned $38,403 in cash compensation during fiscal year 2025 in connection with her consultancy, which began in September 2025, and Ms. Schoenfeld earned $62,551 in cash compensation during fiscal year 2025 in connection with her consultancy, which began in July 2025. |

The AC represents and assists the Board in overseeing the financial reporting process, the internal financial controls to comply with policies and procedures and the integrity of the Company’s financial statements. The Audit Committee also has oversight of the information technology function and the cybersecurity, privacy and internal controls risks. The AC is responsible for the appointment, compensation and retention of the independent accountants, pre-approving the services they will perform, selecting the lead engagement partner, and for reviewing the performance of the independent accountants and the Company’s internal audit function. The Board has determined that all three of the members of the AC are “independent,” as required by applicable listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange. One of the three members of the AC have the requisite experience to be designated as an Audit Committee financial expert as defined by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). | ||
In the performance of its responsibilities, the AC has reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements with management and the independent accountants. The AC has also discussed with the independent accountants the matters required to be discussed under the applicable rules of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (“PCAOB”) and the SEC. Finally, the AC has received the written disclosures and the letter from the independent accountants required by applicable requirements of the PCAOB regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and has discussed with the independent accountants their independence. | ||
In determining whether to recommend that stockholders ratify the selection of PwC as the Pitney Bowes independent accountants for 2026, management and the AC, as they have done in prior years, engaged in a review of PwC. In that review, the AC considers the current performance and continued independence of PwC, its geographic presence compared to that of Pitney Bowes, its industry knowledge, the quality of the audit and its services, the audit approach and supporting technology, any SEC actions and other legal issues as well as PCAOB inspection reports. The AC prohibits certain types of services that are otherwise permissible under SEC rules. Pitney Bowes management prepares an annual assessment that includes an analysis of (1) the above criteria for PwC and the other accounting firms; (2) cost/benefit discussion on rotating auditors; (3) the incumbent firm’s tenure; (4) an assessment of whether other accounting firms should be considered; and (5) a detailed analysis of the PwC fees. In addition, PwC reviews with the AC its analysis of its independence. Based on the results of the review this year, the AC concluded that PwC is independent and that it is in the best interests of Pitney Bowes and its investors to appoint PwC, who have been independent accountants of the Company since 1934, to serve as the Pitney Bowes independent registered accounting firm for 2026. As an additional independence safeguard, PwC rotates its lead engagement partner every 5 years. | ||
Based upon the review of information received and discussions as described in this report, the AC recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the SEC on February 20, 2026. | ||

(1) | The amounts in this column represent the grant date fair value of PSU, RSU, and stock option awards computed in accordance with FASB ASC 718. Notes 1 and 20 of the Consolidated Financial Statement included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2025 detail assumptions underlying valuation of stock awards and options. Stock award fair values are calculated in accordance with guidance, based on the probable outcome of applicable performance conditions on the grant date and, with the exception of RSUs granted to Messrs. Wolf, Evans, and Everett in their capacities as independent members of the Board, reflect an adjustment for the exclusion of dividends during the vesting period. |
TABLE OF CONTENTS
(2) | Messrs. Wolf, Evans, and Everett received an RSU grant prior to their employment start dates in their capacities as independent members of the Board. The number of RSUs granted on May 13, 2025 was determined using the stock closing price on the date of grant, $9.56. These RSUs generally cliff vest one year after the date of grant. In fiscal year 2025, full vesting of outstanding equity awards for Messrs. Evans and Everett was accelerated upon their transition to executive officers. |
(3) | Values in this row represent the potential threshold, target, and maximum pay-out from the 2025 annual incentive program covering performance period January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025. The maximum pay-out for annual incentive awards is 200% of target under the 2025 annual incentive performance objectives. Under the KEIP, a NEO’s pay-out from their annual incentive award is limited to $5,000,000 in any fiscal year. |
Terminated NEOs received annual incentive award payouts pursuant to their applicable agreements. Mr. Gold’s annual incentive award was forfeited as of his last day of work; Mr. Witek and Ms. Nurmohamed received a payout at target, prorated for days worked; Mr. Fairweather received a payout based on actual performance, prorated for days worked; Mr. Rosenzweig’s annual incentive plan in effect at the time of his termination was granted in a prior fiscal year and reflected on the Grants of Plan-Based Awards table for 2024. |
(4) | Mr. Wolf received an award of non-qualified stock options in connection with his appointment to CEO on May 22, 2025; the closing price of common stock on the date of grant was $9.96. The options will vest in equal installments on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the grant date, subject to Mr. Wolf’s continued employment as CEO through the applicable vesting date. |
(5) | The number of PSUs granted February 26, 2025 was determined based on the average stock closing price of $10.55 over the ten trading days prior to and inclusive of the grant date. Messrs. Gold, Evans, and Everett received a grant of PSUs in connection with their mid-year hire with the number of PSUs granted based on the average stock price for the ten trading days prior to and inclusive of their respective grant date: $9.32 for March 21, 2025; $11.33 for August 13, 2025; and $11.60 for September 26, 2025. PSU awards granted in fiscal year 2025 are scheduled to cliff vest over a three-year period from the date of the annual grant, with vesting on February 22, 2028, at which time the number of shares vesting will be determined based on the achievement of the pre-defined annual performance metrics and a three-year period cumulative TSR modifier. |
PSUs granted in 2025 to Messrs. Gold, Witek, and Fairweather and Ms. Nurmohamed were forfeited upon termination as the awards had not been outstanding for the required period prior to their last day of work. |
(6) | The number of RSUs granted February 26, 2025 was determined based on the average stock closing price of $10.55 over the ten trading days prior to and inclusive of the grant date. Messrs. Gold, Evans, and Everett received a grant of RSUs in connection to their mid-year hire with the number of RSUs granted based on the average stock price for the ten trading days prior to and inclusive of their respective grant date: $9.32 for March 21, 2025; $11.33 for August 13, 2025; and $11.60 for September 26, 2025. RSU awards are scheduled to vest in three pro rata annual installments commencing on the one year anniversary of the date of grant. |
RSUs granted in 2025 to Messrs. Gold, Witek, and Fairweather and Ms. Nurmohamed were forfeited upon termination as the awards had not been outstanding for the minimum required period prior to their last day of work. |

(3) | Deferred Shares represent RSUs and PSUs that have vested and been deferred by the executive under the Pitney Bowes Executive Equity Deferral Plan, as amended. Dividend equivalents on deferred shares are credited as additional deferred shares under the plan and are included in the balances below. |
Executive Contributions in Last FY. Amounts reported represent the value of shares that vested during fiscal year 2025 and were deferred by the executive, calculated by multiplying the number of deferred shares by the closing price of one share of Common Stock on the applicable vesting date (or, if the vesting date was not a market trading day, the closing price on the most recent preceding trading day). For dividend equivalent units that are deferred, the vesting date is the applicable dividend payment date. |
Aggregate Earnings/(Loss) in Last FY. Amounts reported reflect increases or decreases in value attributable to changes in the Company’s stock price and the value of deferred units under the plan during fiscal year 2025. |
Aggregate Withdrawals/Distributions. Amounts reported reflect the release of deferred units pursuant to the applicable deferral elections under the plan, valued based on the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on the date of release (or, if the release date was not a market trading day, the closing price on the most recent preceding trading day). |
Aggregate Balance at Last FYE. The aggregate balance under the Executive Equity Deferral Plan is calculated by multiplying the total number of deferred shares at fiscal year end by the closing price of one share of Common Stock on December 31, 2025 ($10.57). As of December 31, 2025, the deferred shares consisted of 948 PSUs, 2,813 RSUs, and 1,585 dividend equivalent units for Ms. Pfeiffer; and 74,204 RSUs and 4,112 dividend equivalent units for Ms. Nurmohamed. |
TABLE OF CONTENTS
• | The goal of this plan is generally to restore benefits that would have been provided under the qualified 401(k) Plan but for certain IRC limitations placed on tax-qualified 401(k) plans. |
• | For 2025 the vesting period was three years for employees. As of December 31, 2025, all eligible NEOs are fully vested in their accounts with the exception of Messrs. Wolf, Evans, and Everett, who will be fully vested after one year of service (May 22, 2026, July 29, 2026, and Sept. 14 2026 respectively), as effective January 1, 2026 employees become vested upon their 1-year anniversary. |
• | For purposes of determining benefits under the 401(k) Restoration Plan, earnings are defined in the same manner as the qualified 401(k) Plan. |
• | Participants need to contribute the maximum annual allowable contributions to the 401(k) Plan to be eligible for any Company match in the 401(k) Restoration Plan. Once the maximum is contributed by the participant into the qualified 401(k) Plan, the Company will match the same percentage of eligible compensation that the Participant defers under the 401(k) Plan and the DISP up to a maximum 6% of eligible compensation, starting in 2025. |
• | No above-market earnings are credited under the plan. |
• | Distributions from the 401(k) Restoration Plan are made in a lump sum distribution 13 months post-employment termination or when the NEO turns 55, whichever is later, unless the NEO makes a different distribution election in accordance with IRC 409A. As of December 31, 2025, none of the NEOs have made a different distribution election. |
• | The DISP allows “highly-compensated employees” to defer up to 100% of annual incentives and long-term cash incentives (SCIUs and CIUs). |
• | No above-market earnings are credited under the plan. |
• | Distributions from the DISP are made based on elections submitted by NEOs in accordance with IRC 409A. |
• | Certain executives with RSUs and PSUs who are subject to the executive stock ownership policy may voluntarily elect to defer settlement of the awards until termination or retirement. |
• | Executives who choose deferral receive dividend equivalents after the award vests which are also deferred. |
• | Distributions from the Executive Equity Deferral Plan are made based on elections submitted by NEOs in accordance with and are compliant with IRC 409A. |

(1) | NEOs who separated from the Company during fiscal year 2025 received the payments and benefits shown. Amounts for continuing NEOs assume termination or change in control as of December 31, 2025, and are estimates based on the terms of the applicable agreements and plans. Post-termination payments and benefits are further discussed in the section entitled “Explanation of Benefits Payable upon Various Termination Events” on page 78 of this proxy statement. NEOs separating from the Company during fiscal year 2025 include Mr. Rosenzweig on May 21, 2025; Mr. Gold on July 28, 2025; Mr. Witek and Mr. Fairweather on March 31, 2025; and Ms. Nurmohamed on September 11, 2025. |
(2) | The amounts set forth in this column for continuing NEOs assume the Company exercises its discretion to provide the full amount of conditional severance under the Severance Pay Plan and the NEO executes a waiver and release of claims. In the event the Company does not exercise such discretion or a NEO does not execute the waiver and release, they will only receive a reduced severance payment, and no additional benefits other than applicable retirement treatment, where relevant. |
(3) | In paying Change of Control Severance benefits, the Company utilizes a “best net” approach. Under this approach, a determination is made as to whether paying the full Change of Control benefits or the value of a payment that is capped at the 280G limit provides the NEO with the higher net after-tax benefit. The amounts reported in the table above do not reflect the application of any reduction in compensation pursuant to this approach. |
(4) | Outstanding options as of December 31, 2025 reflect $0 when the closing stock price of one share of Company stock on that date is below the stock option exercise price. Vesting treatment of stock options is applied as described in the section entitled “Explanation of Benefits Payable upon Various Termination Events” on page 78 of this proxy statement. |
(5) | RSUs outstanding at year end are valued based on the closing stock price on December 31, 2025, and vesting rules are applied as described in the section entitled “Explanation of Benefits Payable upon Various Termination Events” on page 78 of this proxy statement. Messrs. Rosenzweig and Witek received accelerated RSU vesting at the time of their termination and amounts reported are based on the closing stock price on the date of vesting, or the trading day prior to the date of vesting if the vest date was not a market trading day. |
(6) | Amounts shown for PSUs are based on the stock closing price at vest or, for PSUs outstanding as of the end of the fiscal year, as of December 31, 2025. |
For retirement, involuntary termination, and applicable death and disability scenarios, CIUs and PSUs for the 2023-2025 cycle are valued at a multiplier of 1.48 per unit, inclusive of the TSR modifier and based upon actual achievement of performance metrics, PSUs and CIUs for the 2024-2026 cycle are accrued at 1.67 per unit inclusive of the TSR modifier, and the PSUs and CIUs for the 2025-2027 cycle are accrued at 1.25 per unit, inclusive of the TSR modifier. In the cases of Change of Control with Termination and, for awards granted under the 2025-2027 cycle, death or disability, PSUs and CIUs are valued at target. When a NEO is retirement eligible at the time of the termination event, treatment of PSU and CIU awards reflect the greater of the total payout under retiree eligibility or standard event provisions. |
Mr. Rosenzweig’s PSUs reflect the application of actual performance multipliers and are calculated based on the closing price of Company stock on the date of vesting. Vesting treatment of PSUs is applied as described in the section entitled “Explanation of Benefits Payable upon Various Termination Events” on page 78 of this proxy statement. |
TABLE OF CONTENTS
(7) | Amounts in the table for outstanding SCIUs are valued at target when their multiplier period ends in a future year, and the actual multiplier of 1.5 for units with a multiplier period ending as of December 31, 2025. |
Vesting treatment of SCIUs is applied as described in the section entitled “Explanation of Benefits Payable upon Various Termination Events” on page 78 of this proxy statement. |
(8) | Amount shown is the incremental cost to the Company of providing continued financial counseling through a NEO’s severance period using the 2025 rate of $15,465. |
(9) | Amount shown is the present value of the Company’s incremental cost to continue medical and other health and welfare plans; for involuntary not for cause, amounts reflect the benefit above the broad-based plan in effect as of the termination date. |
(10) | Mr. Fairweather is the only pension eligible NEO and is fully vested in his pension benefit. The reported amount reflects the increase in lump-sum actuarial equivalent of the pension age and service and earnings credits for the associated severance period. |
(11) | The amounts reflected in the table for Mr. Rosenzweig represent the actual payments and benefits provided to him in connection with his involuntary termination without cause on May 21, 2025, with detail regarding Mr. Rosenzweig’s termination on page 42 of this Proxy Statement. Continuation of Benefits reflects only amounts for continuation of Mr. Rosenzweig’s term life insurance for the duration of the severance period based on wellness plan enrollments in effect as of his last day of work. Mr. Rosenzweig’s Transition Agreement additionally provides for an allowance for Company-paid legal fees. |
(12) | The amounts reflected in the table for Mr. Gold represent the actual payments and benefits provided to him in connection with his involuntary termination without cause on July 28, 2025, with detail regarding Mr. Gold’s termination on page 44 of this Proxy Statement. |
(13) | The amounts reflected in the table for Mr. Witek represent the actual payments and benefits provided to him in connection with his involuntary termination without cause on March 31, 2025, with detail regarding Mr. Witek’s termination on page 44 of this Proxy Statement. As Mr. Witek was retirement eligible, retirement treatment was applied to his outstanding RSUs, CIUs, and SCIUs in connection with his termination. |
(14) | The amounts reflected in the table for Mr. Fairweather represent the actual payments and benefits provided to him in connection with his involuntary termination without cause on March 31, 2025, with detail regarding Mr. Fairweather’s termination on page 45 of this Proxy Statement. Under his separation agreement, the Company agreed that his RSUs that were outstanding for at least one year as of his termination will accelerate on the date he would have become retirement eligible. The agreement also provides for eligibility for retiree medical and dental benefits and continued coverage at employee rates through the date he becomes eligible for retiree benefits. |
(15) | The amounts reflected in the table for Ms. Nurmohamed represent the actual payments and benefits provided to her in connection with her involuntary termination without cause on September 11, 2025, with detail regarding Ms. Nurmohamed’s termination on page 45 of this Proxy Statement. Under her separation agreement, the Company agreed that her RSUs that were outstanding for at least one year as of her termination will accelerate on the date she would have become retirement eligible. |
