ITEM 8.01.    OTHER EVENTS
 
Pitney Bowes Inc. (the “Company”, “we”, and “our”) is filing this Form 8-K to update its Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (“2013 Form 10-K”) to reflect revised financial information and disclosures as a result of the changes described below.

•
In the first quarter of 2014, we reclassified the results of our shipping solutions operations from the North America Mailing segment and the International Mailing segment to the Digital Commerce Solutions segment.
•
In the second quarter of 2014, Pitney Bowes of Canada Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary, completed the sale of its Document Imaging Solutions (“DIS”) business and the related lease portfolio. The results of operations of DIS were reclassified as discontinued operations.
•
In the second quarter of 2014, the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit) were revised for the earliest period presented to increase opening retained earnings and decrease our tax liabilities by $17 million. See Note 15 of our Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2014.
•
Additional disclosures have been included as a result of a review of our 2013 Form 10-K by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
•
In August 2014, we entered into an agreement with our partner in the Historic Boardwalk Hall LLC partnership releasing our respective claims against each other and agreeing to divest our investment in the partnership. The impact of this agreement, which will be recorded in the third quarter of 2014, will not have a material impact on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. See the unaudited subsequent event disclosure in Note 8 of Exhibit 99.3.
