<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left; LINE-HEIGHT: 11.4pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">On May 5, 2017, Pitney Bowes Inc. (the &#8220;Company&#8221;) completed a public offering of $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 3.875% Notes Due 2022 (the &#8220;Notes&#8221;). The Notes were offered under the Company&#8217;s Registration Statement on Form S-3ASR (Registration No. 333-216744), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the &#8220;SEC&#8221;) on March 16, 2017. Net proceeds from the sale of the Notes are expected to be approximately $394.8 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated expenses.</div>

<div style="LINE-HEIGHT: 11.4pt">&#160;</div>

<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left; LINE-HEIGHT: 11.4pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">The Notes were issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of February 14, 2005, between the Company and Citibank, N.A., as trustee (the &#8220;Base Indenture&#8221;), as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 23, 2007, by and among the Company, The Bank of New York Mellon, as successor trustee (the &#8220;Trustee&#8221;), and Citibank, N.A., as resigning trustee (the &#8220;First Supplemental Indenture&#8221;, and together with the Base Indenture, the &#8220;Indenture&#8221;), on the terms and conditions set forth in an Officers&#8217; Certificate, dated May 5, 2017 (the &#8220;Officers&#8217; Certificate&#8221;). The Indenture and the Officers&#8217; Certificate include customary agreements and covenants by the Company. These covenants include limitations on the Company&#8217;s ability, with significant exceptions, (i) to incur debt secured by liens on certain property above a threshold, (ii) to engage in certain sale and leaseback transactions involving certain property above a threshold and (iii) to consolidate or merge, or sell, lease or convey the Company&#8217;s assets substantially as an entirety. Upon the occurrence of both (i) a change of control of the Company and (ii) a downgrade of the Notes below an investment grade rating by both of Moody&#8217;s Investors Service, Inc. and Standard &amp; Poor&#8217;s Ratings Services within a specified period, the Company will be required to make an offer to purchase the Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase, as set forth in more detail in the prospectus supplement filed by the Company with the SEC on May 4, 2017 (the &#8220;Prospectus Supplement&#8221;).</div>

<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left; LINE-HEIGHT: 11.4pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">The Notes are the Company&#8217;s unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with its other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness from time to time outstanding. The Notes will mature on May 15, 2022. Interest on the Notes will be payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing November 15, 2017. The interest rate on the Notes is 3.875% per year, subject to adjustments from time to time if either Moody&#8217;s or S&amp;P (or a substitute rating agency therefor) downgrades (or downgrades and subsequently upgrades) the credit rating assigned to the notes as set forth in more detail in the Prospectus Supplement. The Notes were sold to the public at 99.543% of par.</div>

<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: left; LINE-HEIGHT: 11.4pt; FONT-FAMILY: 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; FONT-SIZE: 10pt">The Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at the Company&#8217;s option. The redemption price for the Notes to be redeemed on any redemption date that is prior to April 15, 2022 will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on those notes to the redemption date, plus the excess of (x) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of interest and principal on the Notes to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the redemption date) discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis, assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at the treasury rate plus 35 basis points over (y) the aggregate principal amount of the notes being redeemed.

ITEM 8.01.  OTHER EVENTS
On May 5, 2017, Pitney Bowes Inc. (the "Company") completed a public offering of $400,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its 3.875% Notes Due 2022 (the "Notes"). The Notes were offered under the Company's Registration Statement on Form S-3ASR (Registration No. 333-216744), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on March 16, 2017. Net proceeds from the sale of the Notes are expected to be approximately $394.8 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated expenses.
The Notes were issued pursuant to the Indenture, dated as of February 14, 2005, between the Company and Citibank, N.A., as trustee (the "Base Indenture"), as amended by the First Supplemental Indenture, dated as of October 23, 2007, by and among the Company, The Bank of New York Mellon, as successor trustee (the "Trustee"), and Citibank, N.A., as resigning trustee (the "First Supplemental Indenture", and together with the Base Indenture, the "Indenture"), on the terms and conditions set forth in an Officers' Certificate, dated May 5, 2017 (the "Officers' Certificate"). The Indenture and the Officers' Certificate include customary agreements and covenants by the Company. These covenants include limitations on the Company's ability, with significant exceptions, (i) to incur debt secured by liens on certain property above a threshold, (ii) to engage in certain sale and leaseback transactions involving certain property above a threshold and (iii) to consolidate or merge, or sell, lease or convey the Company's assets substantially as an entirety. Upon the occurrence of both (i) a change of control of the Company and (ii) a downgrade of the Notes below an investment grade rating by both of Moody's Investors Service, Inc. and Standard & Poor's Ratings Services within a specified period, the Company will be required to make an offer to purchase the Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase, as set forth in more detail in the prospectus supplement filed by the Company with the SEC on May 4, 2017 (the "Prospectus Supplement").
The Notes are the Company's unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with its other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness from time to time outstanding. The Notes will mature on May 15, 2022. Interest on the Notes will be payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing November 15, 2017. The interest rate on the Notes is 3.875% per year, subject to adjustments from time to time if either Moody's or S&P (or a substitute rating agency therefor) downgrades (or downgrades and subsequently upgrades) the credit rating assigned to the notes as set forth in more detail in the Prospectus Supplement. The Notes were sold to the public at 99.543% of par.
The Notes are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, at the Company's option. The redemption price for the Notes to be redeemed on any redemption date that is prior to April 15, 2022 will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, on those notes to the redemption date, plus the excess of (x) the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of interest and principal on the Notes to be redeemed (exclusive of interest accrued to the redemption date) discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis, assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months, at the treasury rate plus 35 basis points over (y) the aggregate principal amount of the notes being redeemed. The redemption price for the Notes to be redeemed on any redemption date that is on or after April 15, 2022 will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest.
The Officers' Certificate and a form of the global certificates evidencing the Notes are filed as Exhibits 4.1 and 4.2 to this Form 8-K, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing summary of the terms of the Officers' Certificate and the Notes does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Officers' Certificate and the Notes.
