This excerpt taken from the PBI DEF 14A filed Mar 27, 2008. Pitney Bowes Senior Executive Severance Policy The Senior Executive Severance Policy provides for the payment of separation benefits to certain senior executive employees, including the named officers, whose employment with the company is terminated involuntarily by the company or by the employee for good reason within two years after a change of control. The Severance Policy provides that a covered employee whose employment is terminated, whose position, authority, duties, responsibilities, earnings or benefits are diminished, or who is relocated within two years after a change of control, will be entitled to severance pay in an amount equal to a multiple of the sum of the employees annual base salary and average annual incentive received in the three years preceding termination. Also, certain health, welfare and other benefits will continue for a period of time following termination of employment. For certain senior executives, including each of the named officers, severance pay would equal three times the sum of base salary plus the average annual incentive paid in the three consecutive years prior to termination of employment. For other senior executives, severance pay would equal two times the sum of base salary plus the average annual incentive paid in the three consecutive years prior to termination of employment. In addition, such executives would be entitled to a continuation of welfare benefits for the three-year or two-year severance periods, as applicable. For pension purposes, the executives will receive only age and service credit for the associated severance period. The Committee determined that these severance benefits were in line with market practice. This excerpt taken from the PBI DEF 14A filed Apr 3, 2007.
