This excerpt taken from the PBI 10-K filed Feb 26, 2009. Directors Stock Plan Under this plan, each non-employee director is granted 2,200 shares of restricted common stock annually. Shares granted at no cost to the directors were 26,400 in 2008 and 24,665 in 2007. Compensation expense, net of taxes, was $0.6 million for 2008, $0.8 million for 2007 and $0.4 for 2006. The shares carry full voting and dividend rights but, except as provided herein, may not be transferred or alienated until the later of (1) termination of service as a director, or, if earlier, the date of a change of control, or (2) the expiration of the six-month period following the grant of such shares. If a director terminates service as a director prior to the expiration of the six-month period following a grant of restricted stock, that award will be forfeited. The Directors Stock Plan permits certain limited dispositions of restricted common stock to family members, family trusts or partnerships, as well as donations to charity after the expiration of the six-month holding period, provided the director retains a minimum of 7,500 shares of restricted common stock. 68 PITNEY BOWES INC. Non-employee directors may defer up to 100% of their eligible compensation, subject to the terms and conditions of the Pitney Bowes Deferred Incentive Savings Plan for directors. Participants may allocate deferred compensation among specified investment choices. Previously, the investment choices offered included stock options under the Directors Stock Plan. Stock options acquired under this plan were generally exercisable three years following their grant and expired after a period not to exceed ten years. There were 15,269, 22,091 and 41,716 options outstanding under this plan at December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, respectively. Beginning with the 2004 plan year, options were no longer offered as an investment choice. This excerpt taken from the PBI DEF 14A filed Mar 27, 2008. Directors Stock Plan. Under the Directors Stock Plan, in 2007 each director who was not an employee of the company received an award of 2,200 shares of
restricted stock. Directors who joined the board after the annual meeting of stockholders in May were awarded a prorated number of shares of restricted stock. The shares carry full voting and dividend rights but, unless certain conditions are met,
may not be transferred or alienated until the later of (i) termination of service as a director, or, if earlier, the date of a change of control, and (ii) the expiration of the six-month period following the grant of such shares. The Directors
Stock Plan permits certain dispositions of stock granted under the restricted stock program provided that the director effecting the disposition had accumulated and will retain 7,500 shares of common stock. Permitted dispositions are limited to (i)
transfer to a family member or family trust or partnership, and (ii) donations to charity after the expiration of six months from date of grant. The original restrictions would continue to apply to the donee except that a charitable donee would not
be bound by the restriction relating to termination of service from the board.
10 Since the approval of the Directors Stock Plan by stockholders in 1991, the common stock of the company has twice undergone a two-for-one split, in 1992 and 1997, respectively. In addition, the annual grant was increased in 1997 in connection with the discontinuation of the Directors Retirement Plan, as described below. Ownership of shares granted under the Directors Stock Plan is reflected in the table on page 13 showing security ownership of directors and executive officers.
