Resolution Will Pave the Way for Completion of GEC Exit by End of 2024

Pitney Bowes Inc. (NYSE: PBI) (“Pitney Bowes” or the “Company”), a technology-driven company that provides SaaS shipping solutions, mailing innovation, and financial services to clients around the world, today announced that it has reached an agreement in principle (the “Agreement in Principle”) with DRF Logistics LLC (“DRF”) (f/k/a the Global Ecommerce segment) to resolve ongoing disputes with the official committee of unsecured creditors (the “Committee”). The Committee is tasked with representing the interests of all creditors asserting unsecured claims against DRF and its affiliated debtor.

Lance Rosenzweig, Pitney Bowes’ Chief Executive Officer, commented:

“This Agreement in Principle represents an important milestone in the DRF wind-down process and resolves the Committee’s disputes on fair and reasonable terms. We believe that this deal is favorable to the Company and, critically, provides us with a high degree of certainty with respect to the parameters of DRF’s expeditious exit from bankruptcy. We expect to remain firmly on track to complete the exit by the end of 2024, ahead of our initial expectations, and continue to target approximately $150 million in one-time costs from the wind-down. We look forward to closing this chapter and continuing to focus on our significant opportunities for profitable growth in our remaining businesses.”

Certain terms of the Agreement in Principle remain subject to ongoing discussions and documentation, and thus no result can be assured at this time. The Agreement in Principle will be documented in a revised chapter 11 plan of DRF, which will be filed with the bankruptcy court in advance of the currently scheduled confirmation hearing on November 19, 2024.
