Kurt Wolf, Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Director of Pitney Bowes, commented:
“We are very excited that Paul is assuming the role of CFO. When Paul and I served together on the board of directors of GameStop in 2020 and 2021, we worked side-by-side to help recapitalize the balance sheet, eliminate debt and enhance shareholder value – all amidst an unprecedented economic backdrop and sizable market volatility. Since joining the Pitney Bowes Board and becoming Chair of the Audit Committee, Paul has rolled up his sleeves to help develop actionable initiatives for sustaining cost reductions, reducing high-interest debt and returning cash to shareholders. On behalf of our Board, I would also like to take this opportunity to welcome Peter, who is bringing a wealth of finance experience and fresh perspectives."
Mr. Evans, EVP, CFO and Treasurer of Pitney Bowes, added:
“I want to thank Kurt and the Board for giving me the opportunity to become the next CFO of Pitney Bowes. As a director, I thoroughly enjoyed helping the organization’s committed and talented employees drive what has been a true case study for turning around a business. Now that I’m shifting to the CFO position, I can play a more hands-on role helping to strengthen our businesses, fortify our balance sheet and reward our shareholders. I couldn’t be more excited to dig into the many value creation opportunities that are being identified by Kurt and the team."
Additional details pertaining to the appointments of Mr. Evans as EVP, CFO and Treasurer and Mr. Brimm to the Board, as well as Mr. Gold’s departure, will be filed on a Form 8-K with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
