Award Timing Disclosures [Line Items]    
Award Timing MNPI Disclosure
Consideration of Material Nonpublic Information (MNPI) in Relation to Timing of Awards
Annual Awards Granted in 2025:
We do not maintain a formal policy regarding the timing of grants of equity-based incentive awards to our employees or directors. However, historically, and during year 2025, our annual LTI awards have been granted at least ten trading days after the fourth quarter and full year earnings announcement in order to reduce the risk of granting awards within a timeframe close to the date of disclosure of Material Nonpublic Information (MNPI). Additionally, in order to reduce the impact of daily stock price fluctuations on the value of the annual awards, the annual grants are awarded based on the average of the closing prices of the ten trading days post the fourth quarter and full year earnings announcement.
MNPI Considered in the Determination of Grant Timing and Terms & Conditions:
LTI awards may also be granted to a NEO upon hire, or on a limited basis, for retention purposes that may fall outside of the timing of the annual or quarterly grants. The Committee and Board consider the timing of reports filed containing MNPI when finalizing the timing of such awards.
The Committee also confirms that award terms are in line with market practice, including predetermining the vesting schedule at grant based on a specified timeframe or based on meeting a pre-specified performance criteria.
In 2025, Mr. Wolf’s premium-priced stock options were granted the day after his appointment as CEO was publicly announced, and Messrs. Evans’ and Everett’s pro-rated RSU and PSU awards for 2025 were granted more than ten trading days following the announcement of their respective appointments.
It is Pitney Bowes’ policy to comply with all applicable securities and state laws when granting awards or engaging in transactions in Pitney Bowes’ securities.
