On February 25, 2020, the Pitney Bowes Inc.

A copy of the press release announcing the results of such Tender Offers and the Consent Solicitation is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

The Company has received consents from holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 3.375% Notes prior to the early tender time, which is the requisite number to amend the Indenture Documents. The proposed amendments with respect to the 3.375% Notes are being entered into pursuant to a second supplemental indenture, dated as of February 26, 2020 (the “Second Supplemental Indenture”), by and between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon, as trustee. The Second Supplemental Indenture is attached hereto as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is hereby incorporated herein by reference.

In addition, on February 25, 2020, the Company amended the terms and conditions of the Consent Solicitation described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated February 10, 2020 to provide that, if any 3.375% Notes validly tendered after the early tender time and prior to the expiration time and not validly withdrawn are subject to proration, the consent related to any 3.375% Notes accepted for purchase will not be deemed null and void.

This Current Report on Form 8-K, including the press release incorporated by reference, is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of offers to buy any Notes. The Tender Offers are being made only pursuant to the offer to purchase and consent solicitation statement of the Company, dated February 10, 2020. The Tender Offers are not being made to holders of Notes in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance thereof would not be in compliance with the securities, blue sky or other laws of such jurisdiction.

Exhibit 99.1

Pitney Bowes Announces Early Tender Results of its Cash Tender Offers and Consent Solicitation

STAMFORD, Conn.—(BUSINESS WIRE)—February 25, 2020—Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE: PBI) (the “Company” or “Pitney Bowes”) announced today (i) the early tender results as of 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on February 24, 2020 (the “Early Tender Time”) for its previously announced cash tender offers (collectively, the “Tender Offers,” and each offer to purchase a series of notes individually, a “Tender Offer”) to purchase up to $950,000,000 aggregate principal amount (the “Aggregate Maximum Principal Amount”) of the outstanding notes of the Company as set forth in the table below (collectively, the “Notes”) tendered from each holder (individually, a “Holder,” and collectively, the “Holders”) of the applicable Notes, and (ii) that the Consents of Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the outstanding 3.375% Notes (the “Requisite Consents”) with respect to its previously announced solicitation of Consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) to amend certain provisions (the “Proposed Amendments”) of certain Indenture Documents (as defined below) have been obtained and that the Company intends to execute a Second Supplemental Indenture with the applicable trustee to effect the Proposed Amendments.

In addition, the Company hereby amends the terms and conditions of the Consent Solicitation described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement dated February 10, 2020 (the “Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement”) to provide that, if any 3.375% Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Time and prior to the Expiration Time and not validly withdrawn are subject to proration, the Consent related to any 3.375% Notes accepted for purchase will not be deemed null and void. Terms used but not defined herein have the meaning ascribed to them in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement. The principal amount of each series of Notes that were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the Tender Offers as of the Early Tender Time is set forth in the table below:



					As of the Early Tender Date
Series of Notes(3)	CUSIP Number(s)	Aggregate Principal Amount Outstanding	Waterfall Series Tender Cap	Acceptance Priority Level	Principal Amount Tendered	Percent of Outstanding Tendered	Tender Offer Consideration (1)	Early Tender Premium(1)	Total Consideration (1)(2)

_____________________


(1)	Per $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for purchase by the Company.


(2)	Includes the early tender premium set out in the table above for Notes validly tendered prior to the Early Tender Time (and not validly withdrawn) and accepted for purchase by the Company.


(3)	Interest rates included herein represent the respective initial interest rate of each series of Notes subject to the Tender Offers. Due to the occurrence of certain triggering events since they were originally issued, the 3.375% Notes, 3.875% Notes and 4.700% Notes currently bear interest at a rate of 4.125% per annum, 4.625% per annum and 5.200% per annum, respectively.

The Proposed Amendments would amend certain provisions of the senior debt indenture dated February 14, 2005, as thereafter supplemented and amended (the “Base Indenture”), by and between the Company and

Citibank, N.A., as trustee, as supplemented by the first supplemental indenture, dated as of October 23, 2007, by and among the Company, The Bank of New York Mellon (formerly known as The Bank of New York), as trustee, and Citibank, N.A., as resigning trustee (the “First Supplemental Indenture” and, together with the Base Indenture, the “Indenture”), and certain provisions of that certain Officers’ Certificate of the Company, dated as of September 22, 2016 (the “3.375% Notes Officers’ Certificate” and, together with the Indenture, the “Indenture Documents”), pursuant to which 3.375% Notes were issued. The Proposed Amendments would amend the Indenture Documents with respect to the 3.375% Notes only, to, among other things, eliminate substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default under such Indenture and reduce the minimum notice period required for redemptions of the 3.375% Notes from 30 calendar days as currently required by the Indenture to 3 business days. The Proposed Amendments must be consented to by Holders of a majority in principal amount of the outstanding 3.375% Notes issued under the Indenture Documents in order to be adopted with respect to the 3.375% Notes. Based on the results above, the Company has received the Requisite Consents from Holders of the 3.375% Notes to amend the Indenture Documents with respect to the 3.375% Notes. As a result, a supplemental indenture will be promptly executed to effect the Proposed Amendments to the Indenture Documents.

As previously announced, withdrawal rights for each of the Tender Offers expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on February 24, 2020. The Company also announces that it has elected to exercise its right to accept for purchase the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Time (and, with respect to the 3.375% Notes only, all Consents that have been validly delivered), subject to the Aggregate Maximum Principal Amount, the Acceptance Priority Levels (as defined in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement), the Waterfall Series Tender Caps (with respect to the Waterfall Notes only), and proration as described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement.

Because the aggregate principal amount of the Waterfall Notes tendered pursuant to the Tender Offers at the Early Tender Time would cause the Company to purchase principal amount of such Waterfall Notes greater than each Waterfall Series Tender Cap, the Tender Offers for such series of Waterfall Notes are oversubscribed, and the Company will accept for purchase only 3.375% Notes validly tendered after the Early Tender Time but before the Expiration Time (as earlier announced), up to the Aggregate Maximum Principal Amount. The Company will accept for purchase validly tendered and not validly withdrawn Waterfall Notes on a prorated basis as described in the Offer to Purchase and Consent Solicitation Statement, using a proration factor of approximately (i) 72.8% with respect to the 3.875% Notes, (ii) 49.8% with respect to the 4.700% Notes, and (iii) 92.2% with respect to the 4.625% Notes. The Company will accept for purchase all of the 3.375% Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the Early Tender Time. Any tendered Notes that are not accepted for purchase will promptly be returned or credited without expense to the Holder’s account.

The Company will accept for purchase $920,811,000 aggregate principle amount of the Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the Early Tender Time. As previously announced, the consideration for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes validly tendered (and, with respect to the 3.375% Notes only, any Consents that have been validly delivered) and accepted for purchase pursuant to the Tender Offers will be the tender offer consideration for the applicable series of Notes set forth in the table above (with respect to each series of Notes, the “Tender Offer Consideration”).

Any future purchases, exchanges or redemptions may be on the same terms or on terms that are more or less favorable to Holders of Notes than the terms of the Tender Offers. Any future purchases, exchanges or redemptions by the Company and its affiliates will depend on various factors existing at that time. There can be no assurance as to which, if any, of these alternatives (or combinations thereof) the Company and its affiliates may choose to pursue in the future.
