( 4 )The performance stock units (PSUs) represent a contingent right to receive Pitney Bowes common stock with a 3 year cliff vesting. The shares that will vest are based on the pre-established performance standards set by the Board upon making each award, and could result in more of less shares being issued at the time of the vesting due to the pre-established performance standards. Depending on financial performance, the resulting number of shares released can range from zero to a maximum of 200% of grant. ( 5 )The grant price for the stock option was calculated at 100% of the closing price on February 5, 2018 which was $12.64.
