(1)	Jason Dies has served as Interim CEO and Principal Executive Officer (“PEO”) since October 2, 2023; prior to this date in 2023, and for the entirety of 2022, 2021, and 2020, Marc B. Lautenbach served as the PEO; our other NEOs for the applicable years were as follows:

- 2023: Ana Chadwick, Gregg Zegras, Daniel Goldstein, and James Fairweather

- 2022: Ana Chadwick, Jason Dies, Daniel Goldstein, and James Fairweather

- 2021: Ana Chadwick, Jason Dies, Gregg Zegras, James Fairweather, and Joseph Catapano

- 2020: Jason Dies, Gregg Zegras, Daniel Goldstein, Joseph Catapano, and Stanley J. Sutula III

(2)

Amounts reported in this column represent (i) the total compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year in the case of Mr. Dies and Mr. Lautenbach and (ii) the average of the total compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year for our other NEOs, other than Mr. Lautenbach and, for 2023 only, Mr. Dies.

When the 2020 long term compensation awards were issued, we replaced PSUs with cash settled CIUs. Under SEC disclosure rules, stock awards are required to be included in the Summary Compensation Table in the year granted, while CIU awards are included at the end of the performance period when actually earned. This means Stock Awards and Total Compensation appear significantly higher for 2022 when compared to 2020 and 2021 because CIU awards are not included in the Summary Compensation Table until actually earned, and 2022 represented the first year that CIU payouts were included in the Summary Compensation Table for NEOs other than Mr. Zegras and Mr. Fairweather, who had a CIU payout in the 2021 Summary Compensation Table. This difference results from different disclosure rules on timing for different kinds of awards, and not on their value, and should normalize over time.

(3)

To calculate compensation actually paid, adjustments were made to the amounts reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year. A reconciliation of the adjustments made to 2023 amounts for Mr. Dies, Mr. Lautenbach, and for the average compensation of the other NEOs is set forth following the footnotes to this table.

(4)	In accordance with SEC rules, this column represents the annual change in the value of a $100 investment in Pitney Bowes Inc. and the indicated peer group from December 31, 2019 to the end of the indicated fiscal year, assuming the reinvestment of dividends.

Historical stock price performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock price performance. Total return for the peer group is based on market capitalization, weighted for each year. In 2022, as part of its annual process, the Committee reviewed the peer group and approved changes effective January 1, 2023 for the purposes of receiving NEO peer median pay levels and conducting pay practice reviews, as described in the “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” starting on page 53 of this Proxy Statement. Our new peer group, as reported in our 2023 Form 10-K is comprised of: ACCO Brands Corporation; Avery Dennison Corporation; Beyond, Inc. (name change from Overstock.com); Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (name change from Alliance Data Systems); Cimpress plc; Deluxe Corporation; Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated (included from 8/14/23 when it emerged from bankruptcy); Etsy, Inc.; Fidelity National Information Services, Inc.; Fiserv, Inc.; GXO Logistics, Inc. (included from 7/22/21 when it began trading); Hub Group, Inc.; NCR Voyix Corporation (name change from NCR Corporation); Rockwell Automation, Inc.; Ryder System, Inc.; Schneider National, Inc.; The Western Union Company; W.W. Grainger, Inc.; and Xerox Holdings Corporation.

Our old peer group, as was reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, was comprised of: ACCO Brands Corporation; Avery Dennison Corporation; Bread Financial Holdings, Inc.; Cimpress plc; Deluxe Corporation; Diebold Nixdorf, Incorporated; Etsy, Inc.; Fidelity National Information Services, Inc.; Fiserv, Inc.; Hub Group, Inc.; NCR Corporation; Overstock.com, Inc.; Rockwell Automation, Inc.; Ryder System, Inc.; Schneider National, Inc. (included from 4/6/17 when it began trading); The Western Union Company; W.W. Grainger, Inc.; and Xerox Holdings Corporation.

Adjusted EBIT is a non-GAAP measure. For a reconciliation and additional information, please see “Reconciliation of Reported Consolidated Results to Adjusted Measures” on page 96 of this Proxy Statement. Adjusted EBIT is the Company selected measure due to the Company’s strategic focus on profitable revenue growth. The Company selected measure may change from year to year.

Compensation Actually Paid vs. Total Shareholder Return

Relationship Between Pay and Performance

We believe the compensation actually paid in each of the years reported above and over the four-year cumulative period are reflective of the Committee’s emphasis on “pay-for-performance” as the compensation actually paid fluctuated year-over-year, primarily due to the result of our stock performance and our varying levels of achievement against pre-established performance goals under the annual incentive pool, including our Adjusted EBIT performance. The CD&A describes in greater detail the Committee’s emphasis on “pay-for-performance” and how our executive compensation program is designed to link executive compensation with the achievement of our financial objectives as well as stockholder value creation.

The following graphs illustrate the relationship between pay and performance.
