We thank all of our shareholders who have spoken with us and shared their perspectives over these last several months. Throughout these conversations with shareholders, we have appreciated hearing your insights into our businesses, leadership, and future. Our goal remains to continue the strategic transformation of Pitney Bowes and to drive sustainable value for our shareholders.
As you consider your vote for the 2023 Annual Meeting, we urge you to remember that our Board is comprised of individuals with deep experience and diverse backgrounds who maintain a relentless focus on consistently challenging management and each other, with respect to both current plans and in developing new ideas. We have always sought a proper balance of directors with deep institutional and industry knowledge, as well as newer voices with fresh viewpoints on the Company. Both new ideas and a rooted understanding of the business are important assets for Board decision making. The changes we have made since 2015 reflect this commitment. With our continued Board refreshment, we are confident that our recommended director nominees are the right individuals to drive Pitney Bowes forward, ensure the long-term success of our businesses, and enhance value for shareholders.
