ITEM 2.01 COMPLETION OF ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS.
On August 8, 2024, Pitney Bowes Inc. ("we" or the "Company") entered into a series of transactions designed to facilitate an orderly wind-down of a majority of the Company’s Global Ecommerce reporting segment. In connection with the wind-down, an affiliate of Hilco Commercial Industrial, LLC (“Hilco”) subscribed for 81% of the voting interests in the subsidiary, DRF Logistics, LLC owning a majority of the Global Ecommerce segment net assets and operations (DRF Logistics, LLC and its subsidiary, DRF LLC, the “Ecommerce Debtors”) for de minimis consideration (the “GEC Sale”), with a subsidiary of the Company retaining 19% of the voting interests and 100% of the economic interests. Subsequent to the GEC Sale, the Ecommerce Debtors, at the direction of their own governing bodies, filed petitions to commence Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases and conduct an orderly wind-down of the Ecommerce Debtors (the “GEC Chapter 11 Cases”). The GEC Sale, the GEC Chapter 11 Cases and any associated transactions are referred herein as the “Ecommerce Restructuring”.
The financial results of the Ecommerce Debtors, which represent a majority of the results of the Global Ecommerce segment, will no longer be included in our consolidated financial statements and will be reported as discontinued operations.
In connection with the contemplated GEC Chapter 11 Cases, we entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (the “RSA”) with the Ecommerce Debtors. The RSA provides, among other things, an orderly wind-down of the Ecommerce Debtors, shared services between the Company and the Ecommerce Debtors for a period of time, a global settlement between the Company and the Ecommerce Debtors and a senior secured, super-priority debtor-in-possession term loan (the “DIP Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $47 million.

Exhibit 99.1
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Overview
On May 22, 2024, Pitney Bowes Inc. ("we" or the "Company") announced an initiative to expeditiously conclude a strategic review of the Global Ecommerce reporting segment. On July 24, 2024, we sold the Global Ecommerce fulfillment services business for $1 million.
Further, on August 8, 2024, we entered into a series of transactions designed to facilitate an orderly wind-down of a majority of the Company’s Global Ecommerce reporting segment. In connection with the wind-down, an affiliate of Hilco Commercial Industrial, LLC (“Hilco”) subscribed for 81% of the voting interests in the subsidiary, DRF Logistics, LLC owning a majority of the Global Ecommerce segment net assets and operations (DRF Logistics, LLC and its subsidiary, DRF LLC, the “Ecommerce Debtors”) for de minimis consideration (the “GEC Sale”), with a subsidiary of the Company retaining 19% of the voting interests and 100% of the economic interests. Subsequent to the GEC Sale, the Ecommerce Debtors, at the direction of their own governing bodies, filed petitions to commence Chapter 11 bankruptcy cases and conduct an orderly wind-down of the Ecommerce Debtors (the “GEC Chapter 11 Cases”). The GEC Sale, the GEC Chapter 11 Cases and any associated transactions as referred herein as the “Ecommerce Restructuring”.
In connection with the contemplated GEC Chapter 11 Cases, we entered into a Restructuring Support Agreement (the “RSA”) with the Ecommerce Debtors to provide for, among other things, an orderly wind-down of the Ecommerce Debtors, shared services between the Company and the Ecommerce Debtors for a period of time, a global settlement between the Company and the Ecommerce Debtors, and a senior secured, super-priority debtor-in-possession term loan (the “DIP Facility”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $47 million.

The Pro Forma Information is provided for informational purposes only and is not intended to represent what the Company's financial position or results of operations would have been had the disposition occurred on an earlier date, nor is it indicative of its future financial position or results of operations. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet gives effect to the Ecommerce Restructuring as if it occured on June 30, 2024. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations gives effect to the Ecommerce Restructuring as if it had occured on January 1, 2023 and reflect the reclassification of the Ecommerce Restructuring and sale of the fulfillment services business as discontinued operations for all periods presented.

Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Financial Information
Note 1: Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated financial information has been prepared from the Company's historical accounting records and in accordance with Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X Pro Forma Financial Information, as amended. The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated balance sheet gives effect to the Ecommerce Restructuring as if it occured on June 30, 2024. The unaudited pro forma consolidated statements of operations gives effect to the Ecommerce Restructuring as if it had occured on January 1, 2023.
Discontinued operations reflect associated assets, liabilities, and stockholders' equity and results of operations attributable to the Ecommerce Debtors and fulfillment services business, which were included in the Company's historical consolidated financial statements in accordance with ASC 205-20. The amounts exclude:
•General corporate overhead costs historically allocated to the Global Ecommerce segment that do not meet the requirements to be presented in discontinued operations.
•The impact of intercompany activity that was eliminated in consolidation.
The Historical column represents the historical consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 2024 and the consolidated statement of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 were derived from the Company's unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included in its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2024. The historical consolidated statements of operations for each of the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 were derived from the Company's audited consolidated financial statements included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The Disposal Group column represents the elimination of historical assets and liabilities of the Ecommerce Debtors and the fulfillment services business from the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2024 and the reclassification of their results of operations from continuing operations to discontinued operations (not presented herein) with the Company's Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and years ended December 31, 2023, 2022, and 2021.
Note 2: Pro Forma Adjustments
The Pro Forma Financial Information has been prepared in accordance with Regulation S-X Article 11 and reflect preliminary estimates of the accounting adjustments to the transactions referred to above. The pro forma adjustments do not reflect future events that may occur after the Ecommerce Restructuring, including the realization of any cost savings or potential one-time costs that could be incurred associated with the transaction. Pro forma adjustments include:
a.Represents the aggregate funding by the Company under the DIP Facility to the Ecommerce Debtors and related DIP Facility receivable. The DIP Facility bears interest at an annual rate of 10%. Due to the uncertainty of timing and amounts of funding under the DIP Facility, we have not included a pro forma adjustment for interest income. The DIP Facility matures in November 2024.
b.Represents the accrual of $4 million of transaction costs incurred through the closing date of the Ecommerce Restructuring not included in the historical amounts as of June 30, 2024. These costs would be reflected as discontinued operations and as such, have not been reflected in the proforma statement of operations.
Note 3: Earnings Per Share
Basic earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the year. Diluted earnings per share is computed based on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the year plus the weighted-average dilutive effect of common stock equivalents.
Due to the net loss reported for the period, historical diluted earnings per share for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and year ended December 31, 2023 was calculated using weighted-average basic shares outstanding.
Note 4: Other
The Company and the Ecommerce Debtors entered into the RSA whereby the Company will perform certain support functions for a period of time. Income and expenses related to the RSA have not been included as a pro forma adjustment as the RSA and any potential amounts to be received thereunder, are subject to approval by the bankruptcy court.
