This Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO relates solely to preliminary communications made before the commencement of a planned tender offer by BrickBreaker Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation (“Purchaser”) and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Pitney Bowes International Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“PBIH”) and a subsidiary of Pitney Bowes, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), for all of the outstanding shares of common stock of Borderfree, Inc. (“Borderfree”), to be commenced pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 5, 2015, by and among the Company, Purchaser and Borderfree.

The tender offer for the outstanding common stock of Borderfree has not yet commenced. This communication is for informational purposes only and it is neither an offer to purchase nor a solicitation of an offer to sell shares of Borderfree common stock. At the time the tender offer is commenced, Pitney Bowes will file a tender offer statement, containing an offer to purchase, a form of letter of transmittal and other related tender offer documents with the SEC, and Borderfree will file a Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 relating to the tender offer with the SEC. Borderfree’s stockholders are strongly advised to read these tender offer materials, as well as any other documents relating to the tender offer and the associated transactions that are filed with the SEC, carefully and in their entirety when they become available, as they may be amended from time to time, because they will contain important information about the tender offer that Borderfree’s stockholders should consider prior to making any decisions with respect to the tender offer. Once filed, stockholders of Borderfree will be able to obtain a free copy of these documents at the website maintained by the SEC at www.sec.gov, or by directing a request to Pitney Bowes, Investor Relations, 203-351-6349 or e-mail: investorrelations@pb.com.
