This excerpt taken from the PBI DEF 14A filed Mar 23, 2006. Adjustments to Options and Amendments to the SAYE Plan The SAYE Plan permits the Pitney Bowes board of directors to make appropriate adjustments to the number of Shares subject to options and the exercise price of options, to reflect stock splits, reverse stock splits, and other similar events affecting the Shares. Any such adjustment must be approved by the U.K. H M Revenue and Customs and Pitney Bowes auditors must confirm that in their opinion the adjustment is fair and reasonable. The SAYE Plan may be amended by the Pitney Bowes board of directors at any time, including in ways that may increase the costs of the SAYE Plan to Pitney Bowes. However, any material revision, as defined by the New York Stock Exchange listing standards, or any increase in the number of Shares available under the plan, except pursuant to an adjustment described in the preceding paragraph, must be approved by the stockholders of Pitney Bowes. No amendment will take effect unless and until approved by the U.K. H M Revenue and Customs. No amendment that adversely affects a participants rights under options already granted may take effect without the consent of the affected participants. |
