Brower Piven Encourages Investors Who Have Losses in Excess of $100,000 From Investment in Pitney Bowes Inc. to Inquire About the Lead Plaintiff Position in Securities Fraud Class Action Lawsuit Before the December 28, 2009 Lead Plaintiff Deadline

Brower Piven, A Professional Corporation announces that a class action lawsuit has been commenced in the United States District Court for the District of Connecticut on behalf of purchasers of the common stock of Pitney Bowes Inc. ("Pitney Bowes" or the "Company") (NYSE: PBI) during the period between July 30, 2007 and October 29, 2007, inclusive (the "Class Period").

No class has yet been certified in the above action. Members of the Class will be represented by the lead plaintiff and counsel chosen by the lead plaintiff. If you wish to choose counsel to represent you and the Class, you must apply to be appointed lead plaintiff no later than December 28, 2009 and be selected by the Court. The lead plaintiff will direct the litigation and participate in important decisions including whether to accept a settlement and how much of a settlement to accept for the Class in the action. The lead plaintiff will be selected from among applicants claiming the largest loss from investment in the Company during the Class Period. You are not required to have sold your shares to seek damages or to serve as a Lead Plaintiff. You may contact Brower Piven (through hoffman@browerpiven.com or 410/986-0036) to answer any questions you may have in that regard.

The complaint accuses the defendants of violations of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 by virtue of the Company's failure to disclose during the Class Period that the Company was experiencing a slowdown in sales of equipment and software and supplies to the financial services sector; that revenues in the Company's U.S. mailing segment and international operations were not performing according to internal expectations such that there was no reasonable basis for defendants' positive statements about the Company, its operations and earnings. According to the complaint, on October 29, 2007, after the Company revealed factors that had caused Pitney Bowes to drastically miss promised earnings, the value of Pitney Bowes's stock declined significantly.
