    Your proxy card is enclosed with these materials. It outlines three ways to

    6-digit control number located on your proxy card.

4.  Follow the simple instructions.

    Alternatively, you may complete, sign and return the proxy card in the
enclosed return envelope. Due to the additional mailing time associated with
receiving proxy cards submitted from outside the United States, please send your
proxy card right away in order to ensure it will be received and your vote
counted in time for the February 29, 2000 annual meeting.

    There may be costs associated with electronic voting, such as usage charges
from Internet service providers and telephone companies. Shareowners are
responsible for bearing these costs. HP does not charge fees for electronic
access.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT

THE NEW HP SHARE OWNERSHIP PLAN

1.   Q. Why is HP ending the Stock Purchase Plan and introducing a new Share
     Ownership Plan?
     A: The regulatory environment and accounting rules governing employee stock
     purchase plans has changed significantly since 1959 when HP started the
     Stock Purchase Plan. Most of our competitors have plans that are similar to
     the new Share Ownership Plan that will start on November 1, 2000. So, the
     change we're making represents both a more practical and competitive
     approach to encouraging employees to purchase HP stock.


2.   Q: IS THE NEW PLAN BETTER FOR EMPLOYEES THAN THE CURRENT PLAN?

     A: Although there are differences in structure, the new Share Ownership
     Plan and the current Stock Purchase Plan would have provided similar
     benefits to employees based on the performance of HP stock in recent years.


3.   Q: IS HP CHANGING THE PLAN TO SAVE MONEY?

     A: HP is introducing the new Share Ownership Plan to capitalize on current
     regulations and to streamline administration and accounting. Easier plan
     operations may save money over time, but that is not an objective of the
     plan.


4.   Q: IS AGILENT ALSO CHANGING ITS EMPLOYEE STOCK PURCHASE PLAN?

     A: Yes, Agilent will introduce a new stock purchase plan, similar to HP's
     Share Ownership Plan, on November 1, 2000.



                                      C-1





5.   Q: WHAT HAPPENS BETWEEN NOW AND NOVEMBER 1? CAN I CONTINUE TO PARTICIPATE
     IN THE CURRENT PLAN?

     A: If you currently participate in the Stock Purchase Plan, your
     participation can continue until October 31, 2000. In addition, if
     eligible, you can enroll in the CURRENT PLAN. Later this year you'll
     receive more information about the new Share Ownership Plan, including
     information about how to enroll.


6.   Q: WILL THE SHARE OWNERSHIP PLAN BE IDENTICAL IN ALL COUNTRIES?

     A: To the extent possible, the plan will operate similarly in all countries
     in which HP is located. While every effort will be made to minimize the
     differences from one country to another, there will be slight variations to
     accommodate local laws. In addition, there will be differences in taxation
     and currency risk from country to country.


7.   Q: WHY SHOULD I PARTICIPATE IN THE SHARE OWNERSHIP PLAN?

     A: The plan gives you a convenient way to become an owner of HP because
     your contributions are generally made through payroll deductions. To
     encourage your participation, HP provides for favorable pricing--the price
     of HP common stock purchased through the plan is the lower of the fair
     market value of the stock on the date the stock is actually purchased or at
     the beginning of the purchase period of the plan. In addition, a 15%
     discount is applied to the cost of the stock.

     In addition to convenience and discounted costs, owning shares of HP stock
     means you benefit financially from the company's success, which you help
     create.


8.   Q: DOES THE NEW PLAN HAVE A VESTING REQUIREMENT OR OTHER RESTRICTIONS?

     A: The Share Ownership Plan has no vesting requirement and, unlike the
     current plan, you can sell any of your shares at any time.


9.   Q: HOW DOES THE NEW SHARE OWNERSHIP PLAN REFLECT THE TOTAL COMPENSATION
     PHILOSOPHY THAT HP IS DEVELOPING?

     A. Under the total compensation approach that HP is developing to support
     its aggressive business strategy, employee compensation will increasingly
     be linked to performance--individual, business unit and company. Superior
     performance will increase compensation; under the Share Ownership Plan, the
     better HP's financial performance, the greater the value of your HP shares.



                                      C-2



     In addition, HP's new compensation programs will be more externally
     competitive than the current programs. Overall, HP's total compensation
     will be targeted at the median of the leading companies with which we
     compete for talent. The new Share Ownership Plan is more closely aligned
     with this approach than the current Stock Purchase Plan (see QUESTION
     1).


10.  Q: WILL OTHER BENEFIT AND COMPENSATION PROGRAMS BE CHANGING?

     A: The new HP is focused on achieving and sustaining superior performance,
     and human resource programs must support that goal. The total compensation
     package that HP offers needs to inspire and reward superior performance by
     individuals, business units and the company. It must attract, retain and
     motivate the outstanding talent that will lead HP into the future. As such,
     the company expects to review and adapt programs as our business and
     competitive environments dictate. Of course, information about new and
     changing programs will be provided to you on a timely basis.


11.  Q: THE PROXY STATEMENT REFERS TO A NEW STOCK PURCHASE PLAN. I'VE ALSO SEEN
     INFORMATION ABOUT STOCK OPTIONS. ARE THESE THE SAME AS THE SHARE OWNERSHIP
     PLAN?
     A: The Stock Purchase Plan mentioned in the proxy is the same employee
     stock purchase arrangement as the Share Ownership Plan. Stock options,
     which are available to some HP employees, are a different plan altogether
     and are not addressed in this website.


12.  Q: WHOM DO I CONTACT IF I HAVE QUESTIONS?

     A: You can submit general questions about the new plan as indicated below.

[Date]
From: Susan Bowick

To: All HP employees,

We wanted to let you know that both HP and Agilent will be replacing the current
Stock Purchase Plan (SPP) with new, separate programs that will become effective
November 1, 2000.

For HP employees, this new program will be known as the Share Ownership Plan.
This change is part of a renewed focus on, and review of, many current programs
and practices to ensure they are on track with the "new HP" and its initiatives
to reinvent and re-energize itself globally.

SHARE OWNERSHIP

The original objective set by Bill and Dave remains intact: to encourage
employees to be, and behave like, owners of HP's business by giving them the
opportunity to own HP stock.

We're proud that HP was one of the first companies in the world to offer
employees a stock purchase plan. Today, HP provides this program to more
employees in more countries than almost any other company. As shareowners, every
HP employee can benefit directly from the company's success.

IMPLEMENTING THE NEW SHARE OWNERSHIP PLAN

Why replace the original Stock Purchase Plan with the new Share Ownership Plan?
Because we believe the new plan has the potential to provide increased
opportunities for employees to own shares in HP, as well as share in HP's
performance.

The new plan design also allows us to take advantage of significant changes in
the regulatory environment and accounting rules governing employee stock
purchase plans. Under today's regulations and rules, the original SPP would be
difficult to implement, and, in fact, research on similar plans at competitor
companies has shown that none of them has a plan like ours. Rather, most have
plans like the new Share Ownership Plan. So, the change we're making represents
both a more practical and competitive approach as well as being line with the
objectives of the Infrastructure Reinvention project.

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has already approved
this new plan. The next step is to obtain HP shareowner approval at the
February 2000 Annual Meeting. A description of the new Share Ownership Plan
is included in HP's proxy statement dated January 18, 2000.

Rolling out the new Share Ownership Plan in almost 40 countries is a tremendous
undertaking, with many aspects still to be considered and decisions yet to be
made. Daily we are working to fine-tune the details and finalize the
implementation plan.

You can also submit any questions you have regarding the transition via this
