VISTAPRINT TO CONSTRUCT WORLD-CLASS CUSTOMER SERVICE CENTER

State-of-the-Art Facility Cements Company’s Continued Presence in Montego Bay, Jamaica

Vistaprint Jamaica Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Vistaprint N.V. (Nasdaq: VPRT), the company that provides high-impact personalized products and services for small businesses and the home, today announced the finalization of a land purchase in Montego Bay, Jamaica. After site development work is completed, Vistaprint will build a new state-of-the-art customer support and design center on the parcel. The building will encompass over 90,000 square feet of workspace and incorporate several “green” features that will make it environmentally friendly.

“Jamaica has proven to be an ideal location for our customer service operations. This project shows Vistaprint’s commitment to the country and provides us ample room for growth while offering our current and future employees an ideal workplace,” said Vistaprint Jamaica General Manager, Roger Williams. “This new construction is important to the future of Vistaprint; not only will it help us better serve our growing customer base, but as a ‘green’ facility, will allow us to contribute to protecting our environment as well.”

Since 2003, Montego Bay has been the home for Vistaprint’s English language customer service and design services operations, which includes phone and email support for customers in the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, and other English-speaking countries. As the company’s customer base has grown, so has its customer service workforce, with hundreds of agents in Jamaica. Additionally, over the past three years, the copywriting and graphic design teams in Montego Bay have created high-quality marketing materials for customers who have purchased Vistaprint’s expanded marketing services offerings.

This land purchase was facilitated by multiple officials and departments within the Jamaican government including Hon. Daryl Vaz, Minister Without Portfolio in the Office of the Prime Minister, With Responsibility for Information and Technology, Hon. Karl Samuda, Minister of Industry, Investment and Commerce, JAMPRO/Jamaica Trade and Invest, and the St. James Parish Council.

Kingsland Scott Bauer Associates, a Pittsburgh-based architectural firm recognized as an international leader in customer service center design, and Neustone Limited, a Kingston-based project management firm, have been commissioned to implement this project.
