        This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Item 2 of Part I of this report, contains forward-looking statements that involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. If the risks or uncertainties ever materialize or the assumptions prove incorrect, the results of Hewlett-Packard Company and its consolidated subsidiaries ("HP") may differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and assumptions. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including but not limited to any projections of revenue, margins, expenses, tax provisions, earnings, cash flows, benefit obligations, share repurchases or other financial items; any statements of the plans, strategies and objectives of management for future operations, including the execution of cost reduction programs and restructuring plans; any statements concerning expected development, performance or market share relating to products or services; any statements regarding pending investigations, claims or disputes; any statements of expectation or belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Risks, uncertainties and assumptions include macroeconomic and geopolitical trends and events; the execution and performance of contracts by HP and its customers, suppliers and partners; the challenge of managing asset levels, including inventory; the difficulty of aligning expense levels with revenue changes; assumptions related to pension and other post-retirement costs; expectations and assumptions relating to the execution and timing of any cost reduction programs and restructuring plans; the outcome of pending legislation and accounting pronouncements; and other risks that are described herein, including but not limited to the items discussed in "Factors that Could Affect Future Results" set forth in "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Item 2 of Part I of this report, and that are otherwise described from time to time in HP's Securities and Exchange Commission reports, including HP's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006.

HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1: Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

        In the opinion of management, the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements of Hewlett-Packard Company and its consolidated subsidiaries ("HP") contain all adjustments, including normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly HP's financial position as of April 30, 2007, its results of operations for the three and six months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006, and its cash flows for the six months ended April 30, 2007 and 2006. The Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet as of October 31, 2006 is derived from the October 31, 2006 audited financial statements. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts in order to conform to the current year presentation.

        The results of operations for the three and six months ended April 30, 2007 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full year. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations," "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" and the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto included in Items 7, 7A and 8, respectively, of HP's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006.

        The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in HP's Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

    Recent Pronouncements

        Updates to recent accounting standards as disclosed in HP's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006 are as follows:

        In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is required to be adopted by HP in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The cumulative effects, if any, of applying FIN 48 will be recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Additionally, in May 2007, the FASB published FASB Staff Position No. FIN 48-1, "Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48" ("FSP FIN 48-1"). FSP FIN 48-1 is an amendment to FIN 48. It clarifies how an enterprise should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. FSP FIN 48-1 is effective upon the initial adoption of FIN 48, and therefore will be adopted by HP in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The actual impact of the adoption of FIN 48 and FSP FIN 48-1 on HP's consolidated results of operations and financial condition will depend on facts and circumstances that exist on the date of adoption. HP is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of FIN 48 and FSP FIN 48-1.

        In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—An

6



Amendment of FASB No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)" ("SFAS 158"). SFAS 158 requires that the funded status of defined benefit postretirement plans be recognized on the company's balance sheet and changes in the funded status be reflected in comprehensive income, effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006, which HP expects to adopt effective October 31, 2007. SFAS 158 also requires companies to measure the funded status of the plan as of the date of their fiscal year end, effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. HP expects to adopt the measurement provisions of SFAS 158 effective October 31, 2009. Based upon the most recent actuarial measurement reflecting the modifications to HP's U.S. defined benefit pension plan announced in the second quarter of fiscal 2007, the adoption of SFAS 158 is expected to result in a decrease in assets of $733 million, a decrease in liabilities of $141 million and a pretax increase in the accumulated other comprehensive loss of $592 million. The actual impact of the adoption of SFAS 158 may differ from these estimates due to changes to actual plan assets and liabilities in fiscal 2007.

        In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" ("SFAS 159"). SFAS 159 expands the use of fair value accounting but does not affect existing standards which require assets or liabilities to be carried at fair value. Under SFAS 159, a company may elect to use fair value to measure accounts and loans receivable, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities, equity method investments, accounts payable, guarantees and issued debt. Other eligible items include firm commitments for financial instruments that otherwise would not be recognized at inception and non-cash warranty obligations where a warrantor is permitted to pay a third party to provide the warranty goods or services. If the use of fair value is elected, any upfront costs and fees related to the item must be recognized in earnings and cannot be deferred, e.g., debt issue costs. The fair value election is irrevocable and generally made on an instrument-by-instrument basis, even if a company has similar instruments that it elects not to measure based on fair value. At the adoption date, unrealized gains and losses on existing items for which fair value has been elected are reported as a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings. Subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 159, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and is required to be adopted by HP in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. HP currently is determining whether fair value accounting is appropriate for any of its eligible items and cannot estimate the impact, if any, that SFAS 159 will have on its consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

        During the first six months of fiscal 2007, HP adopted the following accounting standards, none of which had a material effect on HP's consolidated results of operations during such period or financial condition at the end of such period:

    SFAS No. 154, "Accounting for Changes and Error Corrections";

    Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements";

    Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") 05-5, "Accounting for Early Retirement or Postemployment Programs with Specific Features (Such as Terms Specified in Altersteilzeit Early Retirement Arrangements)"; and

7


    EITF 06-9, "Reporting a Change in (or the Elimination of) a Previously Existing Difference between the Fiscal Year End of a Parent Company and That of a Consolidated Entity or between the Reporting Period of an Investor and That of an Equity Method Investee."

Note 2: Stock-Based Compensation

        Effective November 1, 2005, HP adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment" ("SFAS 123R"), using the modified prospective transition method. The total stock-based compensation expense before taxes associated with HP stock-based employee compensation plans was $154 million and $317 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended April 30, 2007. Total stock-based compensation expense before taxes for the three and six months ended April 30, 2007 excludes a $14 million credit adjustment in restructuring charges as disclosed below. For the six months ended April 30, 2007, stock-based compensation expense before taxes also excludes a $29 million charge for accelerating the vesting of options held by those employees who elected to participate in the 2007 U.S. Enhanced Early Retirement program (the "2007 EER"). The total compensation expense related to stock-based employee compensation plans was $124 million and $268 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended April 30, 2006. HP allocated stock-based compensation expense under SFAS 123R as follows:

 
  Three months ended
April 30

  Six months ended
April 30

 
 
  2007
  2006
  2007
  2006
 
Cost of sales   $ 42   $ 33   $ 87   $ 72  
Research and development     18     15     37     33  
Selling, general and administrative     94     76     193     163  
   
 
 
 
 
Stock-based compensation expense before income taxes     154     124     317     268  
Income tax benefit     (44 )   (39 )   (92 )   (82 )
   
 
 
 
 
Total stock-based compensation expense after income taxes   $ 110   $ 85   $ 225   $ 186  
   
 
 
 
 

        In addition, as part of its fiscal 2005 restructuring plans, HP accelerated the vesting of options held by terminated employees and included a one-year post-termination exercise period on the options. This modification resulted in compensation expense of $107 million that HP included in its fiscal 2005 restructuring charges. HP recorded an adjustment of $14 million in the three and six months ended April 30, 2007, and an adjustment of $14 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006 as reductions to the $107 million restructuring charges to reflect actual stock-based compensation expense related to those terminated employees.

        The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value (the difference between HP's closing stock price on the last trading day of the second quarter of fiscal 2007 and the exercise price, multiplied by the number of in-the-money options) that option holders would have received had all option holders exercised their options on April 30, 2007. This amount changes based on the fair market value of HP's stock. Total intrinsic value of options exercised for the three and six months ended April 30, 2007 was $300 million and $716 million, respectively. Total intrinsic value of options exercised for the three and six months ended April 30, 2006 was $256 million and $491 million, respectively.

        HP expects to recognize, as of April 30, 2007, $859 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to stock options over a weighted-average period of 2.5 years.

        As of April 30, 2007, there was $95 million of unrecognized stock-based compensation expense related to nonvested restricted stock awards, which HP expects to recognize over a weighted-average period of 1.4 years.

Note 3: Net Earnings Per Share

        HP calculates basic earnings per share ("EPS") using net earnings and the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted EPS includes the effect from potential issuance of common stock, such as stock issuable pursuant to the exercise of stock options and the assumed conversion of convertible notes.

        The reconciliation of the numerators and denominators of the basic and diluted EPS calculations was as follows:

        HP excludes options with exercise prices that are greater than the average market price from the calculation of diluted EPS because their effect would be anti-dilutive. For the three and six months ended April 30, 2007, HP excluded 115 million shares from its diluted EPS calculation compared to 139 million and 184 million shares, respectively, for the prior year comparable periods. Also, as a result of adopting SFAS 123R on November 1, 2005, HP excluded from the calculation of diluted EPS options to purchase an additional 5 million shares and 47 million shares in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, respectively, and options to purchase an additional 5 million shares and 4 million shares in the first half of fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006, respectively, whose combined exercise price, unamortized fair value and excess tax benefits were greater in each of those periods than the average market price for HP's common stock, as their effect would be anti-dilutive.

        HP has revolving trade receivables-based facilities permitting it to sell certain trade receivables to third parties on a non-recourse basis. The aggregate maximum capacity under these programs was approximately $512 million as of April 30, 2007. HP sold approximately $1.2 billion of trade receivables during the first half of fiscal 2007. Fees associated with these facilities do not generally differ materially from the cash discounts offered to these customers under alternative prompt payment programs. As of April 30, 2007, there was approximately $188 million available under these programs.

Note 5: Acquisitions

        During the first six months of fiscal 2007, HP completed six acquisitions. The largest of these transactions was the $4.9 billion acquisition of Mercury Interactive Corporation ("Mercury"), which is further described below. Total consideration for the five other acquisitions was approximately $547 million, which includes direct transaction costs, the estimated fair value of earned unvested stock options and certain liabilities recorded in connection with these acquisitions. HP recorded approximately $433 million of goodwill, approximately $104 million of purchased intangibles and, approximately $5 million of in-process research and development ("IPR&D") related to these five acquisitions. Projects that qualify for treatment as IPR&D have not yet reached technological feasibility and have no alternative use.

12


        HP has recorded all acquisitions using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, included the results of operations in HP's consolidated results as of the date of each acquisition. HP allocates the purchase price of its acquisitions to the tangible assets, liabilities and intangible assets acquired, including IPR&D, based on their estimated fair values. The excess purchase price over those fair values is recorded as goodwill. HP has not presented pro forma results of operations because these acquisitions are not material to HP's consolidated results of operations on either an individual or an aggregate basis.

    Mercury Acquisition

        On November 2, 2006, HP completed its tender offer for Mercury, a leading IT management software and services company, and acquired approximately 96% of Mercury common shares for cash consideration of $52 per share. On November 6, 2006, HP acquired the remaining outstanding common shares, and Mercury became a wholly owned subsidiary of HP. This acquisition combines Mercury's application management, application delivery and IT governance capabilities with HP's broad portfolio of management solutions.

        The aggregate purchase price of approximately $4.9 billion consisted of cash paid for outstanding stock, vested in-the-money stock options and direct transaction costs. In addition, the purchase price also included the estimated fair value of earned unvested stock options and out-of-the-money vested stock options assumed by HP.

        The preliminary purchase price allocation as of the date of acquisition is as follows:

 
  In millions
 
Cash and short-term investments   $ 830  
Other tangible assets     508  
Notes payable     (303 )
Other liabilities assumed.     (995 )
   
 
  Total net assets     40  
Amortizable intangible assets     1,084  
Goodwill     3,578  
IPR&D     181  
   
 
Total purchase price.   $ 4,883  
   
 

        Note 7 contains information related to the cost of restructuring programs for Mercury employees, which was also included as part of other liabilities assumed.

        The purchase price allocation was based on management's preliminary valuation and the estimates and assumptions used are subject to change. The primary areas of the purchase price allocation that are not yet finalized relate to restructuring costs, certain income tax-related balances, certain legal matters and residual goodwill.

        HP has included Mercury in the OpenView business within the HP Software segment. Goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase price over the net tangible and intangible assets acquired,

13



is not deductible for tax purposes. The amortizable intangible assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives as follows:

 
  In millions
  Weighted-
average
useful life

Technology   $ 595   4.2 years
Customer relationships     244   7.0 years
Maintenance contracts     240   6.8 years
Trademarks     5   6.0 years
   
   
Total amortizable intangible assets   $ 1,084   5.4 years
   
   

        Based on further analysis completed during the second fiscal quarter of 2007, additional IPR&D expense of $14 million was recorded in HP's results of operations for the three months ended April 30, 2007, bringing the total IPR&D expense for the six months ended April 30, 2007 to $181 million.

    Subsequent Acquisition

        On May 16, 2007, HP completed the acquisition of Arteis Inc., a privately held provider of web-based graphic design services through the Logoworks- and Logomaker-branded websites. The company's operations will be integrated into the Imaging and Printing Group segment.

Note 6: Goodwill and Purchased Intangible Assets

    Goodwill

        Goodwill allocated to HP's business segments as of April 30, 2007 and changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended April 30, 2007 were as follows:

        The goodwill adjustments relate primarily to the reversal of income tax reserves of Compaq Computer Corporation ("Compaq"), which HP acquired in 2002, for pre-acquisition tax years. These tax years have been audited and agreed upon with the Internal Revenue Service and the statute of limitations for them has expired. Accordingly, the reserves have been reclassified as a reduction of goodwill.

Note 7: Restructuring Charges

    Fiscal 2007 U.S. Enhanced Early Retirement Program

        On February 20, 2007, HP announced that it was offering eligible employees an option to participate in the 2007 EER. HP recorded a restructuring charge of $395 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2007 in connection with the 2007 EER. The 2007 EER was open to employees who satisfied defined eligibility criteria based on combined age and years of service as well as to otherwise eligible employees who had been included in previous restructuring programs or who voluntarily left the company since November 30, 2006. A total of 3,077 employees participated in the 2007 EER, including 593 persons who had been included in previous restructuring programs or who voluntarily left the company since November 30, 2006. All participating employees left the company by May 31, 2007. The 2007 EER restructuring charge reflected $366 million of severance and benefits cost for the participating employees and $29 million of stock-based compensation expense for accelerating the vesting of options held by participating employees. The expense of the 2007 EER program was offset by a $542 million curtailment gain that HP recognized in the second quarter of fiscal 2007, resulting

15


from the changes in the U.S. defined benefit pension and post-retirement plans that HP also announced on February 20, 2007. HP funded the cash expenditures associated with the 2007 EER primarily by using available U.S. pension plan assets. For more information, see Note 13 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1, which is incorporated herein by reference.

    Fiscal 2007 Mercury Plan

        In connection with the acquisition of Mercury, HP's management approved and initiated plans to restructure the operations of Mercury to eliminate certain duplicative activities, reduce cost structure and better align product and operating expenses with existing general economic conditions. During the second quarter of fiscal 2007, HP recorded $19 million in severance-related costs associated with the elimination of approximately 140 positions primarily in Europe. For the six months ended April 30, 2007, HP recorded $44 million in severance-related costs associated with the elimination of approximately 370 positions primarily in the U.S. and in Europe. HP expects to eliminate substantially all of these positions and to pay substantially all of the related severance payments by the end of fiscal 2007.

        In the second quarter of fiscal 2007, HP also recorded an adjustment of $2 million to reduce the estimated costs of exiting duplicative leased facilities. In the first half of fiscal 2007, the total costs related to exiting duplicative leased facilities totaled $19 million. HP expects to pay the costs for exiting the facilities through 2014.

        All Mercury restructuring costs are reflected in the purchase price of Mercury in accordance with EITF 95-3, "Recognition of Liabilities in Connection with a Purchase Business Combination." These costs are subject to change based on the actual costs incurred. Changes to these estimates could increase or decrease the amount of the purchase price allocated to goodwill.

    Fiscal 2005 Restructuring Plans

        In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005, HP's Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan designed to simplify HP's structure, reduce costs and place greater focus on its customers. At that time, HP estimated that it would eliminate 15,300 positions in connection with the restructuring plan. Subsequent to the initial estimate, HP reduced the number of total positions to 15,010. As of April 30, 2007, HP has eliminated 14,860 positions, and HP expects to eliminate the remaining 150 positions by the end of fiscal 2007. The initial charge for these actions totaled $1.6 billion. During the three months ended April 30, 2007, HP recognized a net charge of $24 million related to adjustments to employee severance and other benefit charges. During the six months ended April 30, 2007, HP recognized a net $22 million reduction in restructuring charges, which included a net $46 million reduction recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 related primarily to severance adjustments for employees whose positions HP eliminated but who found other positions within HP, a non-cash stock-based compensation expense adjustment, and a curtailment gain relating to the HP subsidized U.S. retiree medical program. HP expects to pay out the majority of the remaining costs relating to severance and other employee benefits before the end of fiscal 2007.

        In the third quarter of fiscal 2005, HP's management approved a restructuring plan and HP recorded restructuring charges of $109 million related to severance and related costs associated with

16



the termination of approximately 1,450 employees, all of whom left HP as of October 31, 2005. HP has paid all of the restructuring amount as of January 31, 2007.

    Fiscal 2003, 2002 and 2001 Restructuring Plans

        The 2003, 2002 and 2001 restructuring plans are substantially complete, although HP records minor revisions to previous estimates as necessary. In the three and six months ended April 30, 2007, HP recorded adjustments of $34 million and $39 million, respectively, in additional restructuring charges. As of April 30, 2007, the aggregate $104 million outstanding restructuring liability with respect to these plans relates primarily to facility lease obligations. HP expects to pay the majority of these obligations over the lives of the related obligations, which extend to the end of fiscal 2010.

Summary of Restructuring Plans

        The activity in the accrued restructuring balances related to all of the plans described above for the three and six months ended April 30, 2007 was as follows:

Note 8: Financing Receivables and Operating Leases

        Financing receivables represent sales-type and direct-financing leases resulting from the marketing of HP's and third-party products. These receivables typically have terms from two to five years and are usually collateralized by a security interest in the underlying assets. Financing receivables also include billed receivables from operating leases. The components of net financing receivables, which are included in financing receivables and long-term financing receivables and other assets, were as follows:

 
  April 30,

Less current portion, net     (2,532 )   (2,440 )
   
 
 
Amounts due after one year, net   $ 2,423   $ 2,340  
   
 
 

        Equipment leased to customers under operating leases was $2.1 billion at April 30, 2007 and at October 31, 2006 and is included in property, plant and equipment in the accompanying Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheets. Accumulated depreciation on equipment under lease was $0.6 billion at April 30, 2007 and at October 31, 2006.

Note 9: Guarantees

    Indemnifications

        In the ordinary course of business, HP enters into contractual arrangements under which HP may agree to indemnify the third party to such arrangement from any losses incurred relating to the services the third party performs on behalf of HP or for losses arising from certain events as defined within the particular contract, which may include, for example, litigation or claims relating to past performance. Such indemnification obligations may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. Historically, payments made related to these indemnifications have been immaterial.

    Warranty

        HP provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time it recognizes revenue. HP engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of its component suppliers; however, product warranty terms offered to customers, ongoing product failure rates, material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure, as well as specific product class failures outside of HP's baseline experience, affect the estimated warranty obligation. If actual product failure rates, material usage or service delivery costs differ from estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required.

        The changes in HP's aggregate product warranty liability were as follows:

 
  In millions
 
Product warranty liability at October 31, 2006   $ 2,248  
Accruals for warranties issued     1,256  
Adjustments related to pre-existing warranties (including changes in estimates)     (67 )

        Deferred support contract services revenue represents amounts received or billed in advance primarily for fixed-price support or maintenance contracts. These services include stand-alone product support packages, routine maintenance service contracts, upgrades or extensions to standard product warranty, as well as high availability services for complex, global, networked, multi-vendor environments. HP defers these service amounts at the time HP bills the customer, and HP then recognizes the amounts ratably over the contract life or as HP renders the services.

        Other deferred revenue represents amounts received or billed in advance for contracts related primarily to product sales, software customer support contracts, outsourcing services start-up or transition work, consulting and integration projects, and minor amounts for training.

        HP may redeem some or all of the Global Notes and the Series A Medium-Term Notes (collectively, the "Notes"), as set forth in the above table, at any time at the redemption prices described in the prospectus supplements relating thereto. The Notes are senior unsecured debt.

        In May 2006, HP filed a shelf registration statement (the "2006 Shelf Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") to enable HP to offer and sell, from time to time, in one or more offerings, debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares and warrants. On May 23, 2006, HP issued $1.0 billion in floating rate global notes due May 22, 2009 under this registration statement. The notes bear interest at a floating rate equal to the three-month USD LIBOR plus 0.125% per annum. HP used a portion of the proceeds it received to repay its 5.25% Euro Medium-Term Notes due July 2006 at maturity and the remainder of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes. In May 2007, HP elected to redeem all outstanding floating rate global notes due

21



May 22, 2009 on June 18, 2007. HP will fund the redemption of those notes with cash, incremental borrowing, or both.

        On February 22, 2007, HP issued an additional $2.0 billion of global notes under the 2006 Shelf Registration Statement. The global notes included $600 million of notes due March 2012 with a floating interest rate equal to the three-month USD LIBOR plus 0.11% per annum, $900 million of notes due March 2012 with a fixed interest rate of 5.25% per annum, and $500 million of notes due March 2017 with a fixed interest rate of 5.40% per annum. HP issued the $600 million notes at par, and HP issued the $900 million notes and $500 million notes at discounts to par at 99.938% and 99.694%, respectively. HP used the net proceeds from this offering for general corporate purposes, including funding the repurchase of the notes it assumed in connection with the Mercury acquisition as described in detail below and repaying short-term commercial paper maturing during the second quarter of fiscal 2007.

        HP registered the sale of up to $3.0 billion of debt or global securities, common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares and warrants under a shelf registration statement in March 2002 (the "2002 Shelf Registration Statement"). In December 2002, HP filed a supplement to the 2002 Shelf Registration Statement, which allows HP to offer from time to time up to $1.5 billion of Medium-Term Notes, Series B, due nine months or more from the date of issuance (the "Series B Medium-Term Note Program"). As of April 30, 2007, HP has not issued Medium-Term Notes pursuant to the Series B Medium-Term Note Program.

        HP registered the sale of up to $3.0 billion of Medium-Term Notes under its Euro Medium-Term Note Programme filed with the Luxembourg Stock Exchange. HP can denominate these notes in any currency, including the euro. HP has not and will not register these notes in the United States. In July 2006, HP repaid the previously issued 750 million euro notes at maturity under this programme.

        The LYONs are convertible by the holders at an adjusted rate of 15.09 shares of HP common stock for each $1,000 face value of the LYONs, payable in either cash or common stock at HP's election. At any time, HP may redeem the LYONs at book value, payable in cash only. In December 2000, the HP Board of Directors authorized a repurchase program for the LYONs that allowed HP to repurchase the LYONs from time to time at varying prices. The last repurchase under this program occurred in fiscal 2002.

        In November 2006, in connection with the Mercury acquisition, HP assumed notes issued by Mercury (the "Mercury Notes") with a face value of $300 million, maturing on July 1, 2007 and bearing interest at a rate of 4.75% per annum. As of April 30, 2007, HP has repurchased substantially all the outstanding Mercury Notes.

        HP has a U.S. commercial paper program with a $6.0 billion capacity. Its subsidiaries are authorized to issue up to an additional $1.0 billion of commercial paper, of which $500 million of capacity is currently available to be used by Hewlett-Packard International Bank PLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of HP for its Euro Commercial Paper/Certificate of Deposit Programme.

        HP has a $3.0 billion 5-year credit facility. Commitment fees, interest rates and other terms of borrowing under the credit facility vary, based on HP's external credit ratings. The credit facility is a senior unsecured committed borrowing arrangement primarily to support the issuance of U.S. commercial paper. No amounts are outstanding under the credit facility.

22



        HP also maintains lines of credit of approximately $2.4 billion from a number of financial institutions that are uncommitted and available through various foreign subsidiaries.

        Included in Other, including capital lease obligations, are borrowings that are collateralized by certain financing receivable assets. As of April 30, 2007, the carrying value of the assets approximated the carrying value of the borrowings of $10 million.

        At April 30, 2007, HP had up to $10.7 billion of available borrowing resources under the 2002 Shelf Registration Statement and other programs described above. HP also may issue additional debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares and warrants under the 2006 Shelf Registration Statement.

Note 11: Income Taxes

    Provision for Taxes

        HP's effective tax rate was 20.3% and (4.3)% for the three months ended April 30, 2007 and April 30, 2006, respectively, and 20.8% and 6.6% for the six months ended April 30, 2007 and April 30, 2006, respectively. HP's effective tax rate generally differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to the tax rate benefits of certain earnings from HP's operations in lower-tax jurisdictions throughout the world for which HP has not provided U.S. taxes because HP plans to reinvest such earnings indefinitely outside the U.S. There were no material discrete items affecting the tax rate for the three and six months ended April 30, 2007.

        Other income tax adjustments of $437 million decreased the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended April 30, 2006. This amount includes reductions to net income tax accruals of $49 million and $443 million as a result of the final settlement of the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") examinations of HP's U.S. income tax returns for fiscal years 1993 to 1995 and 1996 to 1998, respectively. The reductions to the net income tax accruals for fiscal years 1996 to 1998 relate primarily to the resolution of issues with respect to Puerto Rico manufacturing incentives and export tax incentives, as well as other issues involving HP's non-U.S. operations and interest accruals. These favorable income tax adjustments were offset in part by an increase of approximately $35 million to deferred tax liabilities related to earnings outside the U.S., as well as $20 million in additional net income tax accruals related primarily to non-U.S. income tax examinations.

        The breakdown between current and long-term deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities was as follows:

        In December 2006, the Tax Relief and Health Care Act of 2006, which included a retroactive reinstatement of the research and development credit, was signed into law. HP recorded the retroactive amount of research and development credit in the first quarter of 2007. This amount did not have a material impact on HP's consolidated results of operations and financial conditions.

Note 12: Stockholders' Equity

    Stock Repurchase Program

        HP's share repurchase program authorizes both open market and private repurchase transactions. HP paid approximately $2.2 billion and $1.3 billion in connection with share repurchases of approximately 55 million shares and 40 million shares during the three months ended April 30, 2007 and April 30, 2006, respectively. HP paid $4.5 billion and $2.7 billion in connection with share repurchases of 112 million shares and 88 million shares in the first halves of fiscal 2007 and 2006, respectively.

        In addition to the above transactions, HP entered into an Accelerated Share Repurchase (the "ASR Program") with a third-party investment bank during the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Pursuant to the terms of the ASR Program, HP purchased 40 million shares of its common stock from the investment bank for $1.8 billion (the "Purchase Price") on March 30, 2007 (the "Purchase Date"). HP decreased its shares outstanding and reduced the outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted-average common shares outstanding for both basic and diluted EPS on the Purchase Date. The shares delivered to HP included shares that the investment bank borrowed from third parties. The investment bank purchased an equivalent number of shares in the open market to cover its position with respect to the borrowed shares during a contractually specified averaging period that began on the Purchase Date and ended on June 6, 2007. As of April 30, 2007, the investment bank had purchased approximately 18 million shares in the open market for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $736 million. At the end of the averaging period, the investment bank's total purchase cost based on the volume weighted-average purchase price of HP shares during the averaging period was approximately $90 million less than the Purchase Price. As a result, HP expects to receive additional HP shares to be purchased by the investment bank in the open market with a value approximately equal to that amount. HP expects to receive the additional shares during the third quarter of fiscal 2007 and will treat them as additional repurchased shares at that time.

        In addition to the above transactions, HP entered into a prepaid variable share purchase program ("PVSPP") with a third-party investment bank during the first quarter of 2006 and prepaid $1.7 billion in exchange for the right to receive a variable number of shares of its common stock weekly over a one-year period beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 and ending during the second quarter of fiscal 2007. For the three and six months ended April 30, 2007, HP had received 6 million and 19 million shares, respectively, for an aggregate price of $199 million and $629 million, respectively, under the PVSPP. HP completed all repurchases under the PVSPP on March 9, 2007. As of that date, HP had received a total of 53 million shares. HP retired all shares repurchased and HP no longer deems those shares outstanding.

24



        On March 15, 2007, HP's Board of Directors authorized an additional $8.0 billion for future repurchases of HP's common stock. As of April 30, 2007, HP had remaining authorization of $7.3 billion for future share repurchases.

    Plan design changes

        In the first quarter of fiscal 2007, HP recognized a net curtailment gain of $9 million for its U.S. retiree medical plan. The gain reflects the reduction in the eligible plan population stemming from the restructuring plans implemented in fiscal 2005. HP recorded the gain as a reduction of restructuring charges in the first quarter of fiscal 2007.

        In the first quarter of fiscal 2007, HP recognized a net curtailment gain of $9 million for its non-U.S. pension plans. This gain primarily reflects a plan design change in Mexico where HP ceased pension accruals for current employees who did not meet defined criteria based on age and years of service (calculated as of December 31, 2006). In the second quarter of fiscal 2007, HP recognized a settlement gain of $2 million resulting from the completed payout of its remaining pension obligations in Norway. In addition, HP incurred a $1 million special termination benefit expense associated with the early retirement of employees in the U.K. and Ireland.

        In the second quarter of fiscal 2007, HP recognized a settlement expense of $36 million for its U.S. pension plans. The settlement reflects distributions and the subsequent transfer of accrued pension benefits from the U.S. Excess Benefit Plan to the U.S. Executive Deferred Compensation Plan for the terminated vested plan participants. The distributions and the transfer of this pension obligation represented a reduction in the projected benefit obligation and exceeded the sum of service and interest cost for this plan. As a result, HP recognized a portion of the unrecognized loss, remeasured as of January 31, 2007, for the second quarter of fiscal 2007.

        On February 20, 2007, HP announced it was modifying its U.S. defined benefit pension plan for the remaining number of U.S. employees still accruing benefits under the program. Effective January 1, 2008, these employees will cease accruing pension benefits, and HP will calculate the final pension benefit amount based on pay and service through December 31, 2007. In addition, HP will limit future eligibility for the Pre-2003 HP Retiree Medical Program to those employees who are within five years of satisfying the program's retirement criteria on June 30, 2007. These actions resulted in reductions to HP's U.S. defined benefit and post-retirement plan obligations. As a result, HP recognized one-time curtailment gains of $541 million for the U.S. defined benefit pension plan and $1 million for the post-retirement benefit plan. HP recorded the total curtailment gain of $542 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. As part of this announcement, HP offered an option for eligible affected employees to participate in the 2007 EER. A total of 3,077 employees participated in the 2007 EER. HP recognized a special termination benefit expense of $306 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007, which reflects aggregate additional lump-sum benefits that HP expects to pay to those individuals participating in the 2007 EER. HP will distribute this amount from the plan assets. Also, HP recognized a special termination benefit expense of $60 million for the HP retiree medical plans for those employees participating in the 2007 EER. This expense amount reflects the additional medical coverage that HP expects to provide to those employees participating in the 2007 EER. The total $366 million expense for the 2007 EER was included in the restructuring charge in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. HP will fund the cash expenditures associated with the 2007 EER primarily by using available U.S. pension plan assets. Eligible employees whose pension accruals will cease effective December 31, 2007 will benefit from an increased company 401(k) match opportunity from 4 percent to 6 percent of eligible earnings effective January 1, 2008.

    Employer Contributions and Funding Policy

        HP previously disclosed in its Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006 that it expected to contribute approximately $120 million to its pension plans, approximately $15 million to cover benefit payments to U.S. non-qualified plan participants and approximately $80 million to cover benefit claims under HP's post-retirement benefit plans. As of April 30, 2007, HP has made approximately $66 million of contributions to non-U.S. pension plans, paid $14 million to cover benefit payments to U.S. non-qualified plan participants, and paid $28 million to cover benefit claims under post-retirement benefit plans. HP presently anticipates making additional contributions of between $45 million and $65 million to its pension plans and expects to pay $40 million to cover benefit claims under post-retirement benefit plans during the remainder of fiscal 2007.

        In August 2006, the Pension Protection Act of 2006 was enacted into law. The law significantly changes the rules used to determine minimum funding requirements for qualified defined benefit pension plans in the U.S. HP does not expect the law to have a material impact on its current funding strategy for its U.S. pension plans.

Note 14: Litigation and Contingencies

        HP is involved in lawsuits, claims, investigations and proceedings, including those identified below, consisting of intellectual property, commercial, securities, employment, employee benefits and environmental matters, which arise in the ordinary course of business. In accordance with SFAS No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies," HP records a provision for a liability when management believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and HP can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. HP believes it has adequate provisions for any such matters. HP reviews these provisions at least quarterly and adjusts these provisions to reflect the impact of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular case. Based on its experience, HP believes that any damage amounts claimed in the specific matters discussed below are not a meaningful indicator of HP's potential liability. Litigation is inherently unpredictable. However, HP believes that it has valid defenses with respect to legal matters pending against it. Nevertheless, it is possible that cash flows or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these contingencies or because of the diversion of management's attention and the creation of significant expenses.

Pending Litigation, Proceedings and Investigations

        Copyright levies. As described below, proceedings are ongoing against HP in certain European Union ("EU") member countries, including litigation in Germany, seeking to impose levies upon equipment (such as multifunction devices ("MFDs") and printers) and alleging that these devices enable producing private copies of copyrighted materials. The total levies due, if imposed, would be based upon the number of products sold and the per-product amounts of the levies, which vary. Some EU member countries that do not yet have levies on digital devices are expected to implement similar legislation to enable them to extend existing levy schemes, while some other EU member countries are expected to limit the scope of levy schemes and applicability in the digital hardware environment. HP, other companies and various industry associations are opposing the extension of levies to the digital environment and advocating compensation to rights holders through digital rights management systems.

        VerwertungsGesellschaft Wort ("VG Wort"), a collection agency representing certain copyright holders, instituted non-binding arbitration proceedings against HP in June 2001 in Germany before the arbitration board of the Patent and Trademark Office. The proceedings relate to whether and to what extent copyright levies for photocopiers should be imposed in accordance with copyright laws implemented in Germany on MFDs that allegedly enable the production of copies by private persons. Following unsuccessful arbitration, VG Wort filed a lawsuit against HP in May 2004 in the Stuttgart Civil Court in Stuttgart, Germany seeking levies on MFDs sold from 1997 to 2001. On December 22, 2004, the court held that HP is liable for payments regarding MFDs sold in Germany and ordered HP to pay VG Wort an amount equal to 5% of the outstanding levies claimed plus interest on MFDs sold in Germany up to December 2001. VG Wort appealed this decision. On July 6, 2005, the Stuttgart Court of Appeals ordered HP to pay VG Wort levies based on the published tariffs for photocopiers in Germany (which range from EUR 38.35 to EUR 613.56 per unit) plus interest on MFDs sold in Germany up to December 2001. HP has appealed the Stuttgart Court of Appeals' decision to the Bundesgerichtshof (the German Federal Supreme Court). On September 26, 2005, VG Wort filed an additional lawsuit against HP in the Stuttgart Civil Court in Stuttgart, Germany seeking levies on MFDs sold in Germany between 1997 and 2001, as well as for products sold from 2002 onwards. The State Court in Stuttgart has indicated that it will issue a decision on July 5, 2007.

        In July 2004, VG Wort filed a separate lawsuit against HP in the Stuttgart Civil Court seeking levies on printers. On December 22, 2004, the court held that HP is liable for payments regarding all printers using ASCII code sold in Germany but did not determine the amount payable per unit. HP appealed this decision in January 2005 to the Higher Regional Court of Baden Wuerttemberg. On May 11, 2005, the Higher Regional Court issued a decision confirming that levies are due. On June 6, 2005, HP filed an appeal to the German Supreme Court in Karlsruhe.

        In September 2003, VG Wort filed a lawsuit against Fujitsu Siemens Computer GmbH ("FSC") in Munich State Court seeking levies on PCs. This is an industry test case in Germany, and HP has undertaken to be bound by a final decision. On December 23, 2004, the Munich State Court held that PCs are subject to a levy and that FSC must pay 12 euros plus compound interest for each PC sold in Germany since March 2001. FSC appealed this decision in January 2005 to the Higher Regional Court of Bavaria. On December 15, 2005, the Higher Regional Court affirmed the Munich State Court decision. FSC filed a notice of appeal with the German Supreme Court in February 2006.

        On December 29, 2005, ZPU, a joint association of various German collection societies, instituted non-binding arbitration proceedings against HP before the arbitration board of the Patent and Trademark Office demanding reporting of every PC sold by HP in Germany from January 2002 through December 2005 and seeking a levy of 18.42 euros plus tax for each PC sold during that period. HP filed a notice of defense in connection with these proceedings in February 2006 and the grounds for its defense in May 2006.

        Based on industry opposition to the extension of levies to digital products, HP's assessments of the merits of various proceedings and HP's estimates of the units impacted and levies, HP has accrued amounts that it believes are adequate to address the matters described above. However, the ultimate resolution of these matters, including the number of units impacted, the amount of levies imposed and the ability of HP to recover such amounts through increased prices, remains uncertain.

        Alvis v. HP is a defective product consumer class action filed in the District Court of Jefferson County, Texas in April 2001. In February 2000, a similar suit captioned LaPray v. Compaq was filed in

29



the District Court of Jefferson County, Texas. The basic allegation is that HP and Compaq sold computers containing floppy disk controllers that fail to alert the user to certain floppy disk controller errors. That failure is alleged to result in data loss or data corruption. The complaints in Alvis and LaPray seek injunctive relief, declaratory relief, unspecified damages and attorneys' fees. In July 2001, a nationwide class was certified in the LaPray case, which the Beaumont Court of Appeals affirmed in June 2002. The Texas Supreme Court reversed the certification and remanded to the trial court in May 2004. On March 29, 2005, the Alvis trial court certified a Texas-wide class action for injunctive relief only, which HP appealed on April 15, 2005. HP's appeal in the Alvis case is still pending. On June 4, 2003, each of Barrett v. HP and Grider v. Compaq was filed in the District Court of Cleveland County, Oklahoma, with factual allegations similar to those in Alvis and LaPray. The complaints in Barrett and Grider seek, among other things, specific performance, declaratory relief, unspecified damages and attorneys' fees. On December 22, 2003, the District Court entered an order staying the Barrett case until the conclusion of Alvis. On September 23, 2005, the District Court granted the Grider plaintiffs' motion to certify a nationwide class action which the Oklahoma Court of Civil Appeals affirmed on October 13, 2006. On November 5, 2006, HP filed a Petition for Writ of Certiorari with the Oklahoma Supreme Court seeking reversal of the lower courts' decisions. That petition was denied on March 26, 2007. The Grider case is scheduled for trial in January 2008. On November 5, 2004, Batiste v. HP (formerly Scott v. HP), and on January 27, 2005, Schultz v. HP (formerly Jurado v. HP), were filed in state court in San Joaquin County, California, with factual allegations similar to those in LaPray and Alvis, seeking certification of a California-only class, injunctive relief, unspecified damages (including punitive damages), restitution, costs, and attorneys' fees. On November 27, 2006, the trial court granted plaintiff's motion for class certification and certified the Schultz case as a California-only class. On March 26, 2007, HP filed a Petition for Writ of Mandate with the California Supreme Court. That petition was summarily denied on May 9, 2007. In addition, the Civil Division of the Department of Justice, the General Services Administration Office of Inspector General and other Federal agencies are conducting an investigation of allegations that HP and Compaq made, or caused to be made, false claims for payment to the United States for computers known by HP and Compaq to contain defective parts or otherwise to perform in a defective manner relating to the same alleged floppy disk controller errors. HP's agreement with the Department of Justice to extend the statute of limitations on its investigation expired on December 6, 2006. HP is cooperating fully with this investigation.

        Barbara's Sales, et al. v. Intel Corporation, Hewlett-Packard Company, et al. and Neubauer, et al. v. Compaq Computer Corporation are separate lawsuits filed on June 3, 2002 in the Circuit Court, Third Judicial District, Madison County, Illinois, alleging that HP and Compaq (along with Intel) misled the public by suppressing and concealing the alleged material fact that systems that use the Intel Pentium 4 processor are less powerful and slower than systems using the Intel Pentium III processor and processors made by a competitor of Intel. The plaintiffs seek unspecified damages, restitution, attorneys' fees and costs, and certification of a nationwide class. The trial court in the HP action certified an Illinois class as to Intel but denied a nationwide class. Both parties appealed the trial court's decision. On July 25, 2006, the Fifth District Appellate Court ruled that the trial court erred in applying Illinois law in deciding to certify the Illinois class and to deny certification of the nationwide class and directed the trial court to reconsider those decisions applying California law instead. On August 28, 2006, Intel appealed the Fifth District's decision to the Illinois Supreme Court, and the Illinois Supreme Court granted Intel's petition for appeal on November 29, 2006. Proceedings against HP have been stayed pending resolution of the parties' appeal of this decision. The class action certification against Compaq has been stayed pending resolution of the parties' appeal in the HP

30



action. Skold, et al. v. Intel Corporation and Hewlett-Packard Company is a lawsuit to which HP was joined on June 14, 2004 that was initially filed in state court in Alameda County, California, based upon factual allegations similar to those in the Illinois cases. The plaintiffs in the Skold matter also seek unspecified damages, restitution, attorneys' fees and costs, and certification of a nationwide class. The Skold case has since been transferred to state court in Santa Clara County, California.

        Feder v. HP (formerly Tyler v. HP) is a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on June 16, 2005 asserting breach of express and implied warranty, unjust enrichment, violation of the Consumers Legal Remedies Act and deceptive advertising and unfair business practices in violation of California's Unfair Competition Law. Among other things, plaintiffs alleged that HP employed a "smart chip" in certain inkjet printing products in order to register ink depletion prematurely and to render the cartridge unusable through a built-in expiration date that is hidden, not documented in marketing materials to consumers, or both. Plaintiffs also contend that consumers received false ink depletion warnings and that the smart chip limits the ability of consumers to use the cartridge to its full capacity or to choose competitive products. On September 6, 2005, a lawsuit captioned Ciolino v. HP was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The allegations in the Ciolino case are substantively identical to those in Feder, and the two cases have been formally consolidated in a single proceeding in the District Court for the Northern District of California under the caption In re HP Inkjet Printer Litigation. In addition, on January 17, 2007, an additional lawsuit captioned Blennis v. HP was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California with allegations substantially the same as those consolidated in In re Inkjet Printer Litigation. The plaintiffs seek class certification, restitution, damages (including enhanced damages), injunctive relief, interest, costs, and attorneys' fees. Three related lawsuits filed in California state court, Tyler v. HP (filed in Santa Clara County on February 17, 2005), Obi v. HP (filed in Los Angeles County on February 17, 2005), and Weingart v. HP (filed in Los Angeles County on March 18, 2005), have been dismissed without prejudice by the plaintiffs. In addition, two related lawsuits filed in federal court, namely Grabell v. HP (filed in the District of New Jersey on March 18, 2005) and Just v. HP (filed in the Eastern District of New York on April 20, 2005), have been dismissed without prejudice by the plaintiffs. Substantially similar allegations have been made against HP and its subsidiary, Hewlett-Packard (Canada) Co., in four Canadian class actions, one commenced in British Columbia in February 2006, two commenced in Quebec in April 2006 and May 2006, respectively, and one commenced in Ontario in June 2006, all seeking class certification, restitution, declaratory relief, injunctive relief and unspecified statutory, compensatory and punitive damages.

        On December 27, 2001, Cornell University and the Cornell Research Foundation, Inc. filed a complaint, amended on September 6, 2002, against HP in United States District Court for the Northern District of New York alleging that HP's PA-RISC 8000 family of microprocessors, and servers and workstations incorporating those processors, infringe a patent assigned to Cornell Research Foundation, Inc. that describes a way of executing microprocessor instructions. The complaint seeks declaratory and injunctive relief and unspecified damages. On March 26, 2004, the district court issued a ruling interpreting the disputed claim terms in the patent at issue. HP filed five motions for summary judgement on September 29, 2006. The district court has not yet ruled on those motions. The patent at issue in this litigation, United States Patent No. 4,807,115, expired on February 21, 2006. Therefore, the plaintiffs are no longer entitled to seek injunctive relief against HP.

        Digwamaje et al. v. Bank of America et al. is a purported class action lawsuit that names HP and numerous other multinational corporations as defendants. It was filed on September 27, 2002 in United States District Court for the Southern District of New York on behalf of current and former South African citizens and their survivors who suffered violence and oppression under the apartheid regime. The lawsuit alleges that HP and other companies helped perpetuate, profited from, and otherwise aided and abetted the apartheid regime during the period from 1948-1994 by selling products and services to agencies of the South African government. Claims are based on the Alien Tort Claims Act, the Torture Victims Protection Act, the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act and state law. The complaint seeks, among other things, an accounting, the creation of a historic commission, compensatory damages in excess of $200 billion, punitive damages in excess of $200 billion, costs and attorneys' fees. On November 29, 2004, the court dismissed with prejudice the plaintiffs' complaint. In May 2005, the plaintiffs filed an amended notice of appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit. On January 24, 2006, the Second Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral argument on the plaintiffs' appeal but has not yet issued a decision.

        CSIRO Patent Litigation. Microsoft Corporation, Hewlett-Packard Company, et al. v. Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation of Australia is an action filed by HP and two other plaintiffs on May 9, 2005 in the District Court for the Northern District of California seeking a declaratory judgment against Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation of Australia ("CSIRO") that HP's products employing the IEEE 802.11a and 8.02.11g wireless protocol standards do not infringe CSIRO's US patent no. 5,487,069 relating to wireless transmission of data at frequencies in excess of 10GHz. On September 22, 2005, CSIRO filed an answer and counterclaims alleging that all HP products which employ those wireless protocol standards infringe the CSIRO patent and seeking damages, including enhanced damages and attorneys fees and costs, and an injunction against sales of infringing products. On December 12, 2006, CSIRO successfully moved to have the case transferred to the District Court of the Eastern District of Texas, a court that has granted CSIRO's motions for summary judgment on the issues of validity and patent infringement in a patent infringement action brought by CSIRO against a third party vendor of wireless networking products based on the same patent.

        The United States of America, ex rel. Norman Rille and Neal Roberts v. Hewlett-Packard Company, et al. In 2004, two private individuals filed a civil "qui tam" complaint under the False Claims Act in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas containing generalized allegations that HP and several other companies participated in an industry-wide practice of using partnership and alliance programs to make improper payments and cause the submission of false claims in connection with contracts to provide products and services to the federal government. On April 12, 2007, the U.S. Department of Justice intervened in the qui tam action and filed a complaint against HP and four other companies on behalf of the United States containing more specific allegations that HP violated the False Claims Act and the Anti-Kickback Act of 1986 by providing millions of dollars in kickbacks to its alliance partners, including "influencer fees" and "new business opportunity rebates." The U.S. complaint further alleges more specifically that HP violated the False Claims Act and the Anti-Kickback Act, breached its federal government contracts, induced the federal government to make payments to HP to which HP was not entitled to receive under those contracts, and was unjustly enriched by expressly or impliedly making false statements, records or certifications to the federal government that it complied with and would continue to comply with the Anti-Kickback Act and by submitting claims to the government that allegedly were inflated because they included the amounts of

32



the influencer fees and new business opportunity rebates. The U.S. complaint seeks treble damages plus civil penalties in connection with the alleged violations of the False Claims Act, double damages plus civil penalties in connection with the alleged violations of the Anti-Kickback Act and disgorgement of profits earned in connection with the breach of contract and unjust enrichment claims.

        Leak Investigation Proceedings. As described below, HP is or has been the subject of various governmental inquiries concerning the processes employed in an investigation into leaks of HP confidential information to members of the media:

    In August 2006, HP was informally contacted by the Attorney General of the State of California requesting information concerning the processes employed in the leak investigation. On December 7, 2006, HP announced that it has entered into an agreement with the California Attorney General to resolve civil claims arising from the leak investigation, including a claim made by the California Attorney General in a Santa Clara County Superior Court action filed on December 7, 2006 that HP committed unfair business practices under California law in connection with the leak investigation. As a result of this agreement, which includes an injunction, the California Attorney General will not pursue civil claims against HP or its current and former directors, officers and employees. Under the terms of the agreement, HP paid a total of $14.5 million and agreed to implement and maintain for five years a series of measures designed to ensure that HP's corporate investigations are conducted in accordance with California law and the company's high ethical standards. Of the $14.5 million, $13.5 million has been used to create a Privacy and Piracy Fund to assist California prosecutors in investigating and prosecuting consumer privacy and information piracy violations, $650,000 was used to pay statutory damages and $350,000 reimbursed the California Attorney General's office for its investigation costs. There was no finding of liability against HP as part of the settlement.

    Beginning in September 2006, HP has received requests from the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the U.S. House of Representatives (the "Committee") for records and information concerning the leak investigation, securities transactions by HP officers and directors, including an August 25, 2006 securities transaction by Mark Hurd, HP's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and related matters. HP has responded to those requests. In addition, Mr. Hurd voluntarily gave testimony before the Committee regarding the leak investigation on September 28, 2006.

    In September 2006, HP was informally contacted by the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of California requesting similar information concerning the processes employed in the leak investigation. HP is responding to that request.

    Beginning in September 2006, HP has received requests from the Division of Enforcement of the Securities and Exchange Commission, ("SEC"), for records and information and interviews with current and former HP directors and officers relating to the leak investigation, the resignation of Thomas J. Perkins from HP's Board of Directors, HP's May 22, 2006 and September 6, 2006 filings with the SEC on Form 8-K, stock repurchases by HP and securities transactions by its officers and directors that occurred between May 1 and October 1, 2006, and HP's policies, practices and approval of securities transactions. In May 2007, HP consented to the entry of an order by the SEC ordering HP to cease and desist from committing or causing violations of the public reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). HP has been advised by the staff of the Division of

33


      Enforcement that the staff has completed its investigation and does not intend to recommend that any other SEC enforcement action be brought in connection with these matters.

    In September 2006, HP received a request from the U.S. Federal Communications Commission for records and information relating to the processes employed in the leak investigation. HP has responded to that request.

HP is continuing to cooperate fully with all ongoing inquiries and investigations.

        In addition, four stockholder derivative lawsuits have been filed in California purportedly on behalf of HP stockholders seeking to recover damages for alleged breach of fiduciary duty and to require HP to improve its corporate governance and internal control procedures as a result of the activities of the leak investigation: Staehr v. Dunn, et al. was filed in Santa Clara County Superior Court on September 18, 2006; Worsham v. Dunn, et al. was filed in Santa Clara County Superior Court on September 14, 2006; Tansey v. Dunn, et al. was filed in Santa Clara County Superior Court on September 20, 2006; and Hall v. Dunn, et al. was filed in Santa Clara County Superior Court on September 25, 2006. On October 19, 2006, the Santa Clara County Superior Court consolidated the four California cases under the caption In re Hewlett-Packard Company Derivative Litigation. The consolidated complaint filed on November 19, 2006 also seeks to recover damages in connection with sales of HP stock alleged to have been made by certain current and former HP officers and directors while in possession of material non-public information. Two additional stockholder derivative lawsuits, Pifko v. Babbio, et al., filed on September 19, 2006, and Gross v. Babbio, et al., filed on November 21, 2006, were filed in Chancery Court, County of New Castle, Delaware, both of which seek to recover damages for alleged breaches of fiduciary duty and to obtain an order instructing the defendants to refrain from further breaches of fiduciary duty and to implement corrective measures that will prevent future occurrences of the alleged breaches of fiduciary duty. On January 24, 2007, the Delaware court consolidated the two cases under the caption In re Hewlett-Packard Company Derivative Litigation and subsequently stayed the proceedings until September 1, 2007. The HP Board of Directors has appointed a Special Litigation Committee consisting of independent Board members authorized to investigate, review and evaluate the facts and circumstances asserted in these derivative matters and to determine how HP should proceed in these matters.

        Mercury Interactive Corporation Proceedings.    In November 2006, HP completed its acquisition of Mercury Interactive Corporation ("Mercury"). Upon completion of the acquisition, HP assumed oversight for all litigation and regulatory matters pending or subsequently commenced against Mercury. The following Mercury-related litigation and regulatory inquiries currently are pending:

    Prior to the announcement of the acquisition, and beginning on or about August 19, 2005, four securities class action lawsuits were filed against Mercury and certain of its officers and directors on behalf of purchasers of Mercury's stock from October 2003 to November 2005: Archdiocese of Milwaukee Supporting Fund, Inc. v. Mercury Interactive, et al, Johnson v. Mercury Interactive, et al., Munao v. Mercury Interactive, et al., and Public Employees' Retirement System of Mississippi v. Mercury Interactive, et al. These class action lawsuits were consolidated in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California as In re Mercury Interactive Corporation Securities Litigation. The consolidated complaint filed on September 8, 2006 alleges that, during the putative class period of October 17, 2000 through November 1, 2005, the defendants made false or misleading public statements regarding Mercury's business and operations in violation of

34


      Section 10(b) and Section 20(a) of the Exchange Act, and Rule 10b-5 promulgated thereunder and seeks unspecified monetary damages and other relief.

    On February 26, 2007, HP received a request from the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations of the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs for information relating to Mercury's past executive compensation and stock option granting policies and procedures, including information about the practice of backdating the grant date of options that allegedly occurred before HP acquired Mercury. HP has responded to the Subcommittee's request and intends to cooperate with the inquiry.

        European Commission OEM Investigation.    In May 2002, the European Commission of the EU publicly stated that it was considering conducting an investigation into original equipment manufacturer activities concerning the sales of printers and supplies to consumers within the EU. The European Commission contacted HP requesting information on the printing systems businesses. HP has cooperated fully in response to the initial inquiry and intends to cooperate fully with respect to subsequent requests for information.

Concluded Litigation, Proceedings and Investigations

        Miller, et al. v. Hewlett Packard Company was a lawsuit filed on March 21, 2005 in the United States District Court for the District of Idaho on behalf of a putative class of persons who were employed by third-party temporary service agencies and who performed work at HP facilities in the United States. The plaintiffs claimed that they were incorrectly classified as contractors or contingent workers and, as a result, were wrongfully denied employee benefits covered by the Employment Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA") and benefits not covered by ERISA. The plaintiffs also claimed they were denied participation in HP's Share Ownership Plan, service award program, adoption assistance program, credit union, dependent care reimbursement program, educational assistance program, time off programs, flexible work arrangements, and the 401(k) plan. On May 22, 2005, plaintiffs amended their complaint to add a Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification Act ("WARN") claim. The plaintiffs sought declaratory relief, an injunction, retroactive and prospective benefits and compensation, unspecified damages and enhanced damages, interest, costs and attorneys' fees. HP successfully moved to dismiss the ERISA and WARN claims on June 23, 2005, and the court dismissed those claims on December 15, 2005. The plaintiffs voluntarily dismissed the sole remaining claim, for breach of contract, on January 4, 2007.

Environmental

        HP is party to, or otherwise involved in, proceedings brought by U.S. or state environmental agencies under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act ("CERCLA"), known as "Superfund," or state laws similar to CERCLA. HP is also conducting environmental investigations or remediations at several current or former operating sites pursuant to administrative orders or consent agreements with state environmental agencies. It is our policy to apply strict standards for environmental clean-up to sites inside and outside the United States, even where we are not required to do so under applicable local laws and regulations.

        The EU adopted the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive in January 2003. The directive makes producers of electrical goods, including computers and printers, financially responsible for specified collection, recycling, treatment and disposal of past and future covered products. The deadline for the individual member states of the EU to enact legislation implementing the directive in

35



their respective countries was August 13, 2004 (such legislation, together with the directive, the "WEEE Legislation"). The EU member states were obliged to make producers participating in the market were financially responsible for implementing these responsibilities under the WEEE Legislation beginning in August 2005. Implementation in certain of the member states has been delayed into 2006 and 2007. Similar legislation has been or may be enacted in other jurisdictions, including in the United States, Canada, Mexico, China and Japan. HP is continuing to evaluate the impact of and take steps to comply with the WEEE Legislation and similar legislation in other jurisdictions as individual countries issue their implementation legislation and guidance.

        The liability for environmental remediation and other environmental costs is accrued when it is considered probable and the costs can be reasonably estimated. We have accrued amounts in conjunction with the foregoing environmental issues that we believe was adequate as of April 30, 2007. These accruals were not material to our operations or financial position, and we do not currently anticipate material capital expenditures for environmental control facilities.

Revenue in this segment is attributable to the sale of certain network infrastructure products, including Ethernet switch products that enhance computing and enterprise solutions under the brand "ProCurve Networking," as well as the licensing of specific HP technology to third parties.

    Segment Data

        HP derives the results of the business segments directly from its internal management reporting system. The accounting policies HP uses to derive business segment results are substantially the same as those the consolidated company uses. Management measures the performance of each business segment based on several metrics, including earnings from operations. Management uses these results, in part, to evaluate the performance of, and to assign resources to, each of the business segments. HP does not allocate to its business segments certain operating expenses, which it manages separately at the corporate level. These unallocated costs include primarily amortization of purchased intangible assets, stock-based compensation expense related to HP-granted employee stock options and the employee stock purchase plan, certain acquisition-related charges and charges for purchased IPR&D, as well as certain corporate governance costs.

        HP does not allocate to its business segments restructuring charges and any associated adjustments related to restructuring actions.

        HP allocates its assets to its business segments based on the primary segments benefiting from the assets. As a result of the Mercury acquisition, the total assets of HP Software increased by approximately 253% to $6.7 billion as of April 30, 2007 from $1.9 billion as of October 31, 2006 due primarily to the goodwill and amortizable intangible assets acquired. There have been no material changes in the total assets of other segments.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

Management's Discussion and Analysis of
Financial Condition and Results of Operations

        The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this document.

OVERVIEW

        We are a leading global provider of products, technologies, software, solutions and services to individual consumers, small and medium sized businesses ("SMBs"), and large enterprises, including the public and education sectors. Our offerings span:

    personal computing and other access devices;

    imaging and printing-related products and services;

    enterprise information technology infrastructure, including enterprise storage and server technology, and software that optimizes business technology investments; and

    multi-vendor customer services, including technology support and maintenance, consulting and integration and outsourcing services.

        We have seven business segments: Enterprise Storage and Servers ("ESS"), HP Services ("HPS"), HP Software, the Personal Systems Group ("PSG"), the Imaging and Printing Group ("IPG"), HP Financial Services ("HPFS"), and Corporate Investments. ESS, HPS and HP Software are structured beneath a broader Technology Solutions Group ("TSG"). While TSG is not an operating segment, we sometimes provide financial data aggregating the segments within TSG in order to provide a supplementary view of our business.

        The operating framework in which we manage our businesses and guide our strategies is based on the disciplined management of three business levers: targeted growth, operational efficiency and capital strategy. Although we have made progress towards our goals in recent periods, there are still many areas in which we believe that we can improve. To implement this operating framework, we are focused on the following initiatives:

    We are engaged in a process of examining every function and every business in the company in order to optimize efficiency and reduce cost;

    We are in the process of consolidating 85 data centers worldwide into six state-of-the-art centers in three U.S. cities and consolidating several hundred real estate locations worldwide to fewer core sites in order to reduce our IT spending and real estate costs;

    We are reinvesting the cost savings from these initiatives by expanding our sales force and aligning our resources in order to build our market share in emerging markets while expanding our coverage to drive growth in mature markets;

    We are developing training programs for our sales forces designed to enhance our ability to provide solutions to our customers and build customer loyalty;

    We are building and expanding our services organization to support our technology businesses and provide comprehensive solutions to our customers;

    We are developing a global delivery structure to take advantage of regions where advanced technical expertise is available at lower costs;

43


    We are expanding our ethics and compliance programs and enhancing our corporate governance to ensure that all of our actions are consistent with HP's values; and

    We are repurchasing shares of our common stock under an ongoing program to manage the dilution created by shares issued under employee benefit plans as well as to repurchase shares opportunistically.

        We continue to grow our business organically and through strategic acquisitions. During the first six months of fiscal 2007, we acquired six companies, the largest of which was Mercury Interactive Corporation ("Mercury"), and we expect to continue to make strategic acquisitions from time to time in the future.

        In February 2007, we announced our decision to modify our U.S. defined benefit pension plan for the remaining number of U.S. employees still accruing benefits under the program. Effective January 1, 2008, these employees will cease accruing pension benefits and will, instead, receive an increased 401(k) match to 6 percent from 4 percent of eligible earnings. The final pension benefit amount will be calculated based on pay and service through December 31, 2007. In addition, future eligibility for the Pre-2003 HP Retiree Medical Program will be limited to those employees who are within five years of satisfying the program's eligibility criteria on June 30, 2007. These actions reduced our U.S. defined benefit and post-retirement plan obligations, and, as a result, we recorded a one-time curtailment gain of $542 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2007. In conjunction with this announcement, we provided eligible affected employees with the opportunity to participate in a 2007 U.S. Enhanced Early Retirement program (the "2007 EER") and recorded a restructuring charge of $395 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2007. A total of 3,077 employees participated in the 2007 EER, including 593 persons who had been included in previous restructuring programs or who voluntarily left the company since November 30, 2006. All employees who participated in the 2007 EER left the company by May 31, 2007. For more information, see Notes 7 and 13 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1, which are incorporated herein by reference.

        Cash and cash equivalents at April 30, 2007 totaled $12.2 billion, a decrease of $4.2 billion from the October 31, 2006 balance of $16.4 billion. The decrease for the first six months of fiscal 2007 was due primarily to the $6.3 billion paid to repurchase our common stock and the $4.8 billion of net cash paid for business acquisitions, partially offset by $4.1 billion cash from operations and a $2.8 billion net increase in debt and commercial paper.

        We intend the discussion of our financial condition and results of operations that follows to provide information that will assist in understanding our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, the changes in certain key items in those financial statements from year to year, and the primary factors that accounted for those changes, as well as how certain accounting principles, policies and estimates affect our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

        The discussion of results of operations at the consolidated level is followed by a more detailed discussion of results of operations by segment.

        For a further discussion of factors that could impact operating results, see the section entitled "Factors That Could Affect Future Results" below.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

        Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations is based upon our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, which we have prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of these financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that it believes to be reasonable

45



under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Senior management has discussed the development, selection and disclosure of significant estimates with the Audit Committee of our Board of Directors. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

        An accounting policy is deemed to be critical if it requires an accounting estimate to be made based on assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time the estimate is made, if different estimates reasonably could have been used, or if changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur could materially impact the financial statements. Management believes that there have been no significant changes during the six months ended April 30, 2007 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

        Updates to recent accounting standards as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006 are as follows:

        In July 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, "Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109" ("FIN 48"). FIN 48 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes by prescribing the recognition threshold a tax position is required to meet before being recognized in the financial statements. It also provides guidance on derecognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition. FIN 48 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006 and is required to be adopted by HP in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The cumulative effects, if any, of applying FIN 48 will be recorded as an adjustment to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. Additionally, in May 2007, the FASB published FASB Staff Position No. FIN 48-1, "Definition of Settlement in FASB Interpretation No. 48" ("FSP FIN 48-1"). FSP FIN 48-1 is an amendment to FIN 48. It clarifies how an enterprise should determine whether a tax position is effectively settled for the purpose of recognizing previously unrecognized tax benefits. FSP FIN 48-1 is effective upon the initial adoption of FIN 48, and therefore will be adopted by us in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. The actual impact of the adoption of FIN 48 and FSP FIN 48-1 on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition will depend on facts and circumstances that exist on the date of adoption. We are currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of FIN 48 and FSP FIN 48-1.

        In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 158, "Employers' Accounting for Defined Benefit Pension and Other Postretirement Plans—An Amendment of FASB No. 87, 88, 106 and 132(R)" ("SFAS 158"). SFAS 158 requires that the funded status of defined benefit postretirement plans be recognized on the company's balance sheet and changes in the funded status be reflected in comprehensive income, effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2006, which we expect to adopt effective October 31, 2007. SFAS 158 also requires companies to measure the funded status of the plan as of the date of their fiscal year end, effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2008. We expect to adopt the measurement provisions of SFAS 158 effective October 31, 2009. Based upon the most recent actuarial measurement reflecting the modifications to our U.S. defined benefit pension plan announced in the second quarter of fiscal 2007, the adoption of SFAS 158 is expected to result in a decrease in assets of $733 million, a decrease in liabilities of $141 million and a pretax increase in the accumulated other comprehensive loss of $592 million. The actual impact of the adoption of SFAS 158 may differ from these estimates due to changes to actual plan assets and liabilities in fiscal 2007.

46



        In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, "The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities—Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115" ("SFAS 159"). SFAS 159 expands the use of fair value accounting but does not affect existing standards which require assets or liabilities to be carried at fair value. Under SFAS 159, a company may elect to use fair value to measure accounts and loans receivable, available-for-sale and held-to-maturity securities, equity method investments, accounts payable, guarantees and issued debt. Other eligible items include firm commitments for financial instruments that otherwise would not be recognized at inception and non-cash warranty obligations where a warrantor is permitted to pay a third party to provide the warranty goods or services. If the use of fair value is elected, any upfront costs and fees related to the item must be recognized in earnings and cannot be deferred, e.g., debt issue costs. The fair value election is irrevocable and generally made on an instrument-by-instrument basis, even if a company has similar instruments that it elects not to measure based on fair value. At the adoption date, unrealized gains and losses on existing items for which fair value has been elected are reported as a cumulative adjustment to beginning retained earnings. Subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 159, changes in fair value are recognized in earnings. SFAS 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and is required to be adopted by us in the first quarter of fiscal 2009. We currently are determining whether fair value accounting is appropriate for any of our eligible items and cannot estimate the impact, if any, that SFAS 159 will have on our consolidated results of operations and financial condition.

        During the first six months of fiscal 2007, we adopted the following accounting standards, none of which had a material effect on our consolidated results of operations during such period or financial condition at the end of such period:

    SFAS No. 154, "Accounting for Changes and Error Corrections";

    Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108, "Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statements";

    Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") 05-5, "Accounting for Early Retirement or Postemployment Programs with Specific Features (Such as Terms Specified in Altersteilzeit Early Retirement Arrangements)"; and

    EITF 06-9, "Reporting a Change in (or the Elimination of) a Previously Existing Difference between the Fiscal Year End of a Parent Company and That of a Consolidated Entity or between the Reporting Period of an Investor and That of an Equity Method Investee."

Net Revenue

        The components of weighted-average net revenue growth were as follows:

 
  Three months ended
April 30, 2007

  Six months ended
April 30, 2007

 
  Percentage Points

Personal Systems Group   7.5   6.5
Imaging and Printing Group   1.9   2.0
Enterprise Storage and Servers   1.6   1.3
HP Services   1.1   1.0
HP Software   0.9   1.0
HP Financial Services   0.1   0.2
Corporate Investments/Other   0.1  
   
 
Total HP   13.2   12.0
   
 

        For the three and six months ended April 30, 2007, net revenue increased 13% and 12%, respectively, from the prior year comparable periods and increased 10% and 9%, respectively, on a constant currency basis. The favorable currency impact was due primarily to the movement of the dollar against the euro. U.S. net revenue increased 9% to $8.5 billion for the second quarter of fiscal 2007, while international net revenue increased 15% to $17.1 billion. U.S. net revenue increased 7% to $16.7 billion for the first half of fiscal 2007, while international net revenue increased 15% to $33.9 billion.

        For the three and six months ended April 30, 2007, PSG had double digit net revenue growth across all regions as a result of unit volume increases of 30% and 24%, respectively. The unit volume increases resulted from strong growth in notebooks and a significant improvement in emerging markets.

48



The increases were partially offset by declines in average selling prices ("ASPs") in consumer and commercial clients of 4% and 6%, respectively, in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 and by 3% and 5%, respectively, in the first half of fiscal 2007 as compared to the prior year periods.

        IPG net revenue growth in the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2007 was due mainly to increased unit volumes of printer supplies resulting from the continued expansion of printer hardware placements and the strong performance of supplies for color-related products.

        ESS net revenue growth in the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2007 was the result primarily of strong blade revenue and unit growth in our industry standard servers business, increased option attach rates in our ProLiant server line, continued strong performance in mid-range EVA products, growth in commercial storage area networks and revenue increases from our Integrity servers. The ESS growth was moderated by revenue declines in our tape business, high-end arrays and PA-RISC and Alpha server product lines.

        HPS net revenue in the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2007 increased due primarily to favorable currency impacts, revenue increases in outsourcing services driven by existing accounts growth and new business and revenue increases in consulting and integration associated with acquisitions made since the second quarter of fiscal year 2006.

        The net revenue growth in HP Software for the three and six months ended April 30, 2007 was due primarily to growth in our OpenView business as a result of the Mercury acquisition and increases in revenue from support contracts.

        The HPFS net revenue increase for the three and six months ended April 30, 2007 was due primarily to operating lease growth and end-of-lease activity, which was partially offset by lower used equipment sales.

Gross Margin

        The weighted-average components of the change in gross margin as a percentage of net revenue as compared to last year were as follows:

 
  Three months
ended
April 30, 2007

  Six months
ended
April 30, 2007

 
 
  Percentage Points

 
HP Software   0.4   0.5

Enterprise Storage and Servers   (0.5 ) (0.3 )
Corporate Investments/Other      
   
 
 
Total HP   (0.3 ) 0.1  
   
 
 

        The improvement in HP Software gross margin in the three and six months ended April 30, 2007 was due primarily to a favorable change in revenue mix associated with increased revenue from Mercury licenses and support, which typically have a higher gross margin than the other products within the segment.

49



        The HPS gross margin increase in the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2007 over the prior year periods was due primarily to the continued focus on cost structure improvements from delivery efficiencies and cost controls, which were partially offset by the impact from the continued competitive pricing environment.

        In the second quarter of fiscal 2007, IPG contributed unfavorably to our total company's weighted-average change in gross margin as IPG's revenue growth was less than overall company's revenue growth. The IPG segment gross margin remained flat as favorable product mix shifts were offset by increased costs associated with new product introductions. In the first half of fiscal 2007, IPG made a small contribution to our total company's weighted-average change in gross margin, while the IPG segment gross margin increased slightly due primarily to improved margins for supplies resulting from a favorable product mix, which was partially offset by unfavorable hardware margins.

        The HPFS gross margin decline for both the three and six months ended April 30, 2007 was due primarily to a decrease in net recoveries from bad debt expense.

        For the three and six months ended April 30, 2007, PSG contributed unfavorably to our total company's weighted average change in gross margin as a result of rapid growth in the segment. PSG segment gross margin remained flat for both periods as lower ASPs were offset by reduced component costs and improvements in supply chain and warranty costs per unit.

        The decrease in ESS gross margin for both periods was due primarily to the ongoing mix shift to lower-margin Integrity products within business critical systems and a continued mix shift towards industry standard servers within the segment.

Operating Expenses

    Research and Development

        Total research and development ("R&D") expense decreased in the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2007 due primarily to effective cost controls, which was offset in part by additional R&D expenses related to the Mercury acquisition. As a percentage of net revenue, each of our major segments experienced a year-over-year decrease in R&D expense for the three and six months ended April 30, 2007.

    Selling, General and Administrative

        Total SG&A expense increased in the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2007 due primarily to additional expenses related to the acquisition of Mercury, investments in incremental sales resources and unfavorable currency impacts related to the movement of the dollar against the euro. As a percentage of net revenue, the ESS, HPS, PSG and IPG segments experienced a year-over-year decrease or no change in SG&A expense for the three and six months ended April 30, 2007, while HP Software experienced a year-over-year increase in SG&A expense.

    Amortization of Purchased Intangible Assets

        The increase in amortization expense for the three and six months ended April 30, 2007 as compared to the same periods in the prior year was due primarily to amortization expenses related to the acquisition of Mercury in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, partially offset by a decrease in amortization expense related to certain intangible assets associated with prior acquisitions, including the Compaq Computer Corporation ("Compaq") acquisition, that had reached the end of their amortization period.

        For more information on our amortization of purchased intangibles assets, see Note 6 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1, which is incorporated herein by reference.

    In-Process Research and Development Charges

        For the three and six months ended April 30, 2007, we recorded $19 million and $186 million respectively, of in-process research and development ("IPR&D") compared to $2 million and $52 million in the prior year comparable periods. IPR&D charges are incurred in connection with our acquisitions. The increase in IPR&D during the first six months of fiscal 2007 was due primarily to our acquisition of Mercury in the first quarter of fiscal 2007.

    Restructuring

        Restructuring charges for the three and six months ended April 30, 2007 were $453 million and $412 million, respectively. The charges for both periods included a $395 million restructuring charge related to severance and other benefit costs associated with those employees who elected to participate in the 2007 EER. For the three months ended April 30, 2007, the charges also included restructuring charge adjustments of $58 million related to our fiscal 2005, 2003, 2002 and 2001 restructuring programs. For the six months ended April 30, 2007, the above charges were partially offset by a net $41 million expense reduction in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, which included severance adjustments for employees whose positions were eliminated but who found other positions within HP, a non-cash stock-based compensation expense adjustment and a curtailment gain from our U.S. retiree medical program, all related to our fiscal 2005 restructuring plan approved in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2005.

        Restructuring charges for the three months ended April 30, 2006 resulted in a net gain of $14 million, due primarily to a $4 million curtailment gain from the U.S. retiree medical program and a $37 million settlement gain from the U.S. pension plans, both related to the fiscal 2005 restructuring plan, partially offset by a net charge of $27 million related to adjustments of severance and other related restructuring charges for the fiscal 2001, 2002, 2003 and 2005 restructuring plans. The restructuring charges for the six months ended April 30, 2006 were $1 million, which included adjustments of severance and other related restructuring charges in the first six months of fiscal 2006, partially offset by the curtailment and settlement gains from our U.S. retiree medical program and U.S. pension plans.

        For more information, see Note 7 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1, which is incorporated herein by reference.

    Workforce Rebalancing

        As part of our ongoing business operations, we incurred workforce rebalancing charges during the first six months of fiscal 2007 within certain business segments for severance and related costs. Workforce rebalancing activities are considered part of normal operations as we continue to optimize our cost structure. Workforce rebalancing costs are included in our business segment results, and we expect to incur additional workforce rebalancing costs through the remainder of fiscal 2007.

    Pension Curtailments and Pension Settlements, Net

        In the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2007, we recognized a net gain on pension curtailments and settlements of $508 million and $517 million, respectively, relating primarily to a $542 million curtailment gain associated with a modification to our U.S. defined benefit pension plan. This curtailment gain was offset partially by settlement losses related to our other pension plan design changes. For more information, see Note 13 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1, which is incorporated herein by reference.

51


Interest and Other, Net

        For the three months ended April 30, 2007, interest and other, net decreased by $70 million compared to the prior year period. The decrease resulted primarily from less favorable foreign currency impact on our various balance sheet items and higher interest expenses due to our higher average debt balances. For the six months ended April 30, 2007, interest and other, net increased slightly compared to the prior year period as a result of a favorable foreign currency impact on our various balance sheet items and higher interest income, which were partially offset by higher interest expense.

Gains on Investments

        Net gains on investment for the three and six months ended April 30, 2007 and April 30, 2006, resulted primarily from gains on the sale of investments, which were offset in part by impairment charges on our investment portfolio.

Provision for Taxes

        Our effective tax rate was 20.3% and (4.3)% for the three months ended April 30, 2007 and April 30, 2006, respectively, and 20.8% and 6.6% for the six months ended April 30, 2007 and April 30, 2006, respectively. Our effective tax rate generally differs from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to the tax rate benefits of certain earnings from our operations in lower-tax jurisdictions throughout the world for which we have not provided U.S. taxes because we plan to reinvest such earnings indefinitely outside the U.S. There were no material discrete items affecting the tax rate for the three and six months ended April 30, 2007.

        Other income tax adjustments of $437 million decreased the effective tax rate for the three and six months ended April 30, 2006. This amount includes reductions to net income tax accruals of $49 million and $443 million as a result of the final settlement of the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") examinations of our U.S. income tax returns for fiscal years 1993 to 1995 and 1996 to 1998, respectively. The reductions to the net income tax accruals for fiscal years 1996 to 1998 relate primarily to the resolution of issues with respect to Puerto Rico manufacturing tax incentives and export tax incentives, as well as other issues involving our non-U.S. operations and interest accruals. These favorable income tax adjustments were offset in part by an increase of approximately $35 million to deferred tax liabilities related to earnings outside the U.S. as well as $20 million in additional net income tax accruals primarily related to non-U.S. income tax examinations.

Segment Information

        A description of the products and services for each segment can be found in Note 15 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements. We have presented the business segments in this Form 10-Q based on our management organizational structure as of April 30, 2007 and the distinct nature of various businesses. Future changes to this organizational structure may result in changes to the business segments disclosed.

        On a constant currency basis, ESS net revenue increased 5% and 3% for the second quarter and the first six months of fiscal 2007, respectively, compared to the same periods in fiscal 2006. The favorable currency impact for both periods was due primarily to the movement of the dollar against the euro. Industry standard servers revenue grew 17% and 13% for the second quarter and first six months, respectively, of fiscal 2007 as a result of strong growth in blade revenue and units, as well as increased option attach rates in the ProLiant server line. Storage net revenue increased 1% and 2%, respectively, for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2007 compared to the prior year periods, with continued strong performance in mid-range EVA products within the storage area networks offerings and improved revenue in commercial storage area networks, while the tape business and high-end array declines moderated the overall storage growth. Business critical systems net revenue decreased 6% for both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2007 as compared to the same periods in the prior year. The decrease for both periods was due primarily to revenue declines in the PA-RISC product line and to the planned phase out of our Alpha server product line. The declines were partially offset by strong net revenue growth in our Integrity servers, which represented 61% of the business critical systems revenue mix in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 and 58% in the first six months of fiscal 2007, up from 36% and 33%, respectively, in the same periods in the prior year. We expect revenue mix from Integrity servers to continue to grow as customers migrate from PA-RISC and Alpha products. Integrity server revenue in the first six months of fiscal 2007 also included revenue from Montecito-based Integrity servers which were first shipped in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. NonStop server net revenue increased 6% for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 compared to the prior year period, due primarily to the growth of Integrity NonStop server revenue. For the first six months of fiscal 2007, NonStop server net revenue decreased 4% from the prior year period due primarily to a revenue decrease related to discontinued products.

        ESS earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2007 increased by 1.3 and 1.5 percentage points, respectively, compared to the prior

53



year periods, due primarily to decreases in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue, which was partially offset by declines in gross margin. Gross margin decreased for both periods due primarily to the ongoing mix shift to lower-margin Integrity products within business critical systems and a continued mix shift towards industry standard servers. The decrease in operating expense as a percentage of net revenue for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2007 was due primarily to efficient expense management.

        On a constant currency basis, HPS net revenue increased 3% and 2%, for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2007, respectively, as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2006. The favorable currency impact for both periods was due primarily to the movement of the dollar against the euro. Net revenue in technology services increased 3% and 2%, for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2007, respectively, due primarily to favorable currency impacts and changes in the mix of platforms being serviced, which were partially offset by competitive pricing pressures. During the three and six months ended April 30, 2007, outsourcing services net revenue grew by 12% and 11%, respectively, from the same periods in fiscal 2006, driven mainly by existing account growth, new business and favorable currency impacts. Net revenue in consulting and integration increased 8% and 9%, respectively, for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2007, compared to the same periods in fiscal 2006, due to acquisitions made since the second quarter of fiscal year 2006 and favorable currency impacts.

        HPS earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue for the three and six months ended April 30, 2007 increased by 2.2 and 2.5 percentage points, respectively. The operating margin increase for both periods was the result of a combination of an increase in gross margin and a decrease in

54



operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue. The gross margin increase in HPS for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2007 was due primarily to the continued focus on cost structure improvements generated by delivery efficiencies and cost controls, which were partially offset by the impact from the continued competitive pricing environment. For the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2007, continued efficiency improvements in our operating expense structure contributed to the decline in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue compared to the prior year periods. Technology services operating margin for both periods continued to benefit from improved delivery efficiencies and cost controls, which were offset in part by the impact of the ongoing portfolio mix shift from higher margin proprietary support to lower margin areas such as IT solution services. Outsourcing services operating margin increased for both periods due primarily to improved delivery efficiencies and reduced operating expenses. Consulting and integration operating margin declined slightly for the three months ended April 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2006, due primarily to project losses associated with a customer dispute and costs related to a recent acquisition, which were partially offset by more efficient utilization of our consultants. The slight increase in consulting and integration operating margin for the first six months ended April 30, 2007 as compared to the prior year period was due mainly to more efficient utilization of our consultants and reduced operating expenses.

        On a constant currency basis, HP Software revenue increased 54% and 64%, respectively, for the three and six months ended April 30, 2007, as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2006. The favorable currency impact was due primarily to the movement of the dollar against the euro. Excluding the results of Mercury, HP Software's revenue was flat and grew 4%, respectively, for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2007. Net revenue associated with the Mercury acquisition was included in the results of OpenView, our management solutions software product line, which increased 90% and 106%, respectively, for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2007, and 6% and 10%, respectively, without Mercury. Net revenue for OpenCall, our telecommunications solutions product line, decreased 13% and 9% for the three and six months ended April 30, 2007, respectively. OpenView net revenue growth was the result of the Mercury acquisition and increases in revenue from support contracts. The decrease in OpenCall net revenue was due primarily to the decline of hardware computer revenue as a result of a platform shift that resulted in a transfer of the higher growth hardware revenue to ESS.

        The operating margin improvement of 7.1 percentage points for the three months ended April 30, 2007 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2006 was the result primarily of an increase in gross margin and, to a lesser degree, a decrease in operating expense as a percentage of net revenue. The operating margin improvement of 6.4 percentage points for the six months ended April 30, 2007 as

55



compared to the same period in fiscal 2006 was the result primarily of an increase in gross margin, partially offset by an increase in operating expense as a percentage of net revenue. For both the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2007, the improvement in gross margin was a result of a favorable change in revenue mix driven by Mercury licenses and support, which typically have a higher gross margin than the other products in the segment, and to a lesser degree by more effective management of the support costs for OpenView and OpenCall. Operating expense as a percentage of net revenue for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 decreased due primarily to cost controls and synergy savings from the Mercury acquisition. Operating expense as a percentage of net revenue for the first half of fiscal 2007 increased due primarily to a higher proportion of field selling costs as a percentage of revenue and integration expenses related to the Mercury acquisition.

        On a constant currency basis, PSG's net revenue increased 20% and 17%, respectively, for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2007, as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2006. The favorable currency impact for both periods was due primarily to the movement of the dollar against the euro. Unit volumes increased by 30% and 24%, respectively, for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2007, as compared to the same periods in fiscal 2006, driving double digit net revenue growth across all regions. The unit volume increases were the result of strong growth in notebooks, with significant improvements in emerging markets. For the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2007, net revenue for notebook PCs increased 45% and 43%, respectively, while net revenue for desktop PCs increased 9% and 4%, respectively, from the prior year periods. For the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2007, net revenue for consumer clients increased 41% and 34%, respectively, while net revenue for commercial clients increased 13% and 10%, respectively, from the prior year periods. The net revenue increases in Other PSG for the second quarter and the first six

56



months of fiscal 2007 compared to the prior year were related primarily to improvements in extended warranty sales. The revenue increases were partially offset by decreases in handhelds revenue for both periods due to declines in the personal digital assistant product market, coupled with our product transition to converged devices. The positive revenue impact from the PSG unit volume increase in the second quarter was moderated by ASP declines of 4% in consumer client and 6% in commercial client as compared to the prior year. For the first six months of fiscal 2007, the positive revenue impact from the PSG unit volume increase compared to the first six months of fiscal 2006 was also moderated by a 3% decline in consumer client ASPs and a 5% decline in commercial client ASPs. ASPs declined in both periods from the prior year as a result of price erosion related to component cost reductions, which was partially offset by increased notebook mix and monitor attach rates.

        PSG earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue increased by 1.2 percentage points for the second quarter of fiscal 2007 and 1.0 percentage points for the first six months of fiscal 2007 from the same periods in fiscal 2006 as a result primarily of decreases in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue for both periods. Gross margin remained flat for both periods as a result primarily of the ASP declines, which were offset by reduced component costs and improvements in supply chain and warranty costs per unit. The operating expense decline as a percentage of net revenue for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2007 was the result primarily of the increased net revenue and continued efforts to improve our cost structure through efficiency measures.

        On a constant currency basis, IPG's net revenue increased 3% and 4%, respectively, for the three and six months ended April 30, 2007 from the prior year comparable periods. The favorable currency impact was due primarily to the movement of the dollar against the euro. The growth in printer supplies net revenue for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2007, as compared to the same periods in the prior year, reflected higher unit volumes of supplies as a result of the continued expansion of printer hardware placements and the strong performance of supplies for color-related products. The year-over-year growth in commercial hardware net revenue for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2007 was attributable mainly to unit volume growth in laser printers and multifunction printers and revenue from our large format printing products. The decrease in consumer hardware net revenue for the second quarter and first six months of fiscal 2007 was attributable to the continued shift in demand to lower-priced products and strategic pricing decisions, which caused average revenue per unit to decline as compared to the prior year periods.

        For the three months ended April 30, 2007, IPG earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue increased 0.8 percentage points as compared to the same period in fiscal 2006, driven by higher revenue and flat operating expenses. Gross margin remained flat as favorable product mix shifts were offset by increased costs associated with new product introductions. For the six months ended April 30, 2007, IPG earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue increased 0.6 percentage points as compared to the same period in fiscal 2006, driven primarily by an increase in gross margin and a decrease in operating expenses as a percentage of net revenue. Gross margin improved slightly in the first six months of fiscal 2007, due primarily to improved margins for supplies resulting from a favorable product mix, which were partially offset by unfavorable hardware margins.

        For the three and six months ended April 30, 2007, HPFS net revenue increased by 6% and 8%, respectively, compared to the prior year comparable periods. The net revenue increase for both periods in fiscal 2007 was due primarily to operating lease growth and end-of-lease activity, which was partially offset by lower used equipment sales.

        For the three and six months ended April 30, 2007, earnings from operations as a percentage of net revenue decreased 1.0 and 1.4 percentage points, respectively. The decrease was due primarily to lower gross margins that resulted from a decrease in net recoveries from bad debt, which was partially offset by lower operating expenses due to continued cost reduction controls.

The increase was driven by higher financings associated with HP product sales and a favorable currency impact.

Portfolio Assets and Ratios

        HPFS maintains a strategy to generate a competitive return on equity by effectively leveraging its portfolio against the risks associated with interest rates and credit. The HPFS business model is asset-intensive and uses certain internal metrics to measure its performance against other financial services companies, including a segment balance sheet that is derived from our internal management reporting system. The accounting policies used to derive these amounts are substantially the same as those used by the consolidated company. However, certain intercompany loans and accounts that are reflected in the segment balances are eliminated in our Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements.

        The portfolio assets and ratios derived from the segment balance sheet for HPFS were as follows:

Portfolio assets include financing receivables of approximately $5.0 billion at April 30, 2007 and $4.9 billion at October 31, 2006 and net equipment under operating leases of $1.5 billion at April 30, 2007 and at October 31, 2006, as disclosed in Note 8 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements in Item 1, which is incorporated herein by reference. Portfolio assets also include capitalized profit on intercompany equipment transactions of approximately $500 million at April 30, 2007 and $400 million at October 31, 2006, and intercompany leases of approximately $600 million at April 30, 2007 and $500 million at October 31, 2006, both of which are eliminated in consolidation.

(2)
HPFS debt consists of intercompany equity that is treated as debt for segment reporting purposes, intercompany debt and debt issued directly by HPFS.

        Portfolio assets at April 30, 2007 increased 4% from October 31, 2006. The increase resulted from a high level of financing originations in the first quarter of fiscal 2007 and a favorable currency impact in the first and second quarters of fiscal 2007.

        The majority of the net revenue in Corporate Investments relates to network infrastructure products sold under the brand "ProCurve Networking." For the three and six months ended April 30, 2007, revenue from network infrastructure products increased 43% and 32%, respectively, compared to the same periods in fiscal 2006 as the result of continued increased sales of enterprise class gigabit Ethernet switch products.

        Corporate Investments' loss from operations for the second quarter and first half of fiscal 2007 was due to expenses related to corporate development, global alliances and HP Labs. Such losses were partially offset by higher earnings from operations generated by network infrastructure products.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

        Our cash balances are held in numerous locations throughout the world, including substantial amounts held outside of the United States. Most of the amounts held outside of the United States could be repatriated to the United States but, under current law, would be subject to United States federal income taxes, less applicable foreign tax credits. Repatriation of some foreign balances is restricted by local laws. HP has provided for the United States federal tax liability on these amounts for financial statement purposes except for foreign earnings that are considered indefinitely reinvested outside of the United States. Repatriation could result in additional United States federal income tax payments in future years. Where local restrictions prevent an efficient intercompany transfer of funds, our intent is that cash balances would remain outside of the United States and we would meet United States liquidity needs through ongoing cash flows, external borrowings, or both. We utilize a variety of tax planning and financing strategies in an effort to ensure that our worldwide cash is available in the locations in which it is needed.

Operating Activities

        Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by approximately $1.3 billion for the six months ended April 30, 2007 as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2006. The decrease was due primarily to higher payments for bonuses earned in fiscal 2006 and paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2007, a year-over-year increase in accounts receivable and a year-over-year decrease in accounts payable. The operating cash decrease was offset partially by higher earnings and lower inventories.

Investing Activities

        Net cash used in investing activities increased by $4.2 billion for the six months ended April 30, 2007 as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2006 due primarily to cash paid for acquisitions and higher payments for property, plant and equipment.

Financing Activities

        Net cash used in financing activities decreased by $1.3 billion for the six months ended April 30, 2007 as compared to the corresponding period in fiscal 2006 due primarily to higher issuances of debt and commercial paper partially offset by increased repurchases of our common stock.

        We repurchase shares of our common stock under an ongoing program to manage the dilution created by shares issued under employee benefit plans as well as to repurchase shares opportunistically. This program authorizes repurchases in the open market or in private transactions. We completed share repurchases of approximately 112 million shares for approximately $4.5 billion in the first half of fiscal 2007. We completed share repurchases of approximately 88 million shares for approximately $2.7 billion in the first half of fiscal 2006.

        In addition to the above transactions, we entered into an Accelerated Share Repurchase program (the "ASR Program") with a third-party investment bank during the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Pursuant to the terms of the ASR Program, we purchased 40 million shares of our common stock from a third-party investment bank for $1.8 billion (the "Purchase Price") on March 30, 2007 (the "Purchase Date"). We decreased our shares outstanding and reduced the outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted-average common shares outstanding for both basic and diluted EPS on the Purchase Date. The shares delivered to us included shares that the investment bank borrowed from third parties. The investment bank purchased an equivalent number of shares in the open market to cover its position with respect to the borrowed shares during a contractually specified averaging period that began on the Purchase Date and ended on June 6, 2007. As of April 30, 2007, the investment bank had purchased approximately 18 million shares in the open market for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $736 million. At the end of the averaging period, the investment bank's total purchase cost based on the volume weighted-average purchase price of our shares during the averaging period was approximately $90 million less than the Purchase Price. As a result, we expect to receive additional HP shares to be purchased by the investment bank in the open market with a value approximately equal to that amount. We expect to receive the additional shares during the third quarter of fiscal 2007 and will treat them as additional repurchased shares at that time.

        In addition to the above transactions, we entered into a prepaid variable share purchase program ("PVSPP") with a third-party investment bank during the first quarter of 2006 and prepaid $1.7 billion in exchange for the right to receive a variable number of shares of our common stock weekly over a one year period beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 and ending during the second quarter of fiscal 2007. During the first half of fiscal 2007, we had received 19 million shares for an aggregate price of $629 million under the PVSPP. We completed all repurchases under the PVSPP on March 9, 2007. As of that date, we had cumulatively received a total of 53 million shares. We retired all shares repurchased and no longer deemed those shares outstanding.

61



        We intend to continue to repurchase shares as a means to manage dilution from the issuance of shares under employee benefit plans and to purchase shares opportunistically. On March 15, 2007, our Board of Directors authorized an additional $8.0 billion for future repurchases of our common stock. As of April 30, 2007, we had remaining authorization of approximately $7.3 billion for future share repurchases.

        Days of sales outstanding in accounts receivable ("DSO") measures the average number of days our receivables are outstanding. DSO is calculated by dividing accounts receivable, net of allowance for doubtful accounts, by a 90-day average net revenue.

        Days of supply in inventory ("DOS") measures the average number of days from procurement to sale of our product. DOS is calculated by dividing net inventory by a 90-day average cost of goods sold.

        Days of purchases outstanding in accounts payable ("DPO") measures the average number of days our accounts payable balances are outstanding. DPO is calculated by dividing accounts payable by a 90-day average cost of goods sold.

        Our working capital requirements depend upon our effective management of the cash conversion cycle, which represents effectively the number of days that elapse from the day we pay for the purchase of raw materials to the collection of cash from our customers. The cash conversion cycle is the sum of DSO and DOS less DPO.

        The increase in DSO was due primarily to an increased accounts receivable balance as a result of higher revenue in the three months ended April 30, 2007, higher currency impacts from Europe, as well as lower cash discount rates for early payments on accounts receivable. The decrease in DOS was due primarily to a lower inventory balance as a result of higher revenue at the end of the period and improved inventory control. The decrease in DPO was due primarily to a lower accounts payable balance as compared to that at October 31, 2006 resulting from the high purchase activities during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2006. These changes contributed to the increase in the cash conversion cycle for the second quarter ended April 30, 2007 compared to the fourth quarter ended October 31, 2006.

LIQUIDITY

        As previously discussed, we generally use cash generated by operations as our primary source of liquidity, since internally generated cash flows are typically sufficient to support business operations, capital expenditures and the payment of stockholder dividends, in addition to a level of discretionary investments and share repurchases. We are able to supplement this near-term liquidity, if necessary, with broad access to capital markets and credit facilities made available by various foreign and domestic financial institutions.

        We maintain debt levels that we establish through consideration of a number of factors, including cash flow expectations, cash requirements for operations, investment plans (including acquisitions), share repurchase activities, and the overall cost of capital. Outstanding debt increased to $8.3 billion as of April 30, 2007 as compared to $5.2 billion at October 31, 2006, bearing weighted-average interest

62



rates of 5.1% and 5.1%, respectively. Short-term borrowings increased to $4.4 billion at April 30, 2007 from $2.7 billion at October 31, 2006. The increase in short-term borrowings was due primarily to the net issuance of $2.1 billion of our commercial paper and notes payable and the reclassification from long-term to short-term of $500 million U.S. Dollar Global Notes that will mature in March 2008 and $50 million Series A Medium-Term Notes that will mature in December 2007. HP used the proceeds from the commercial paper and debt issuances principally for general corporate purposes including business acquisitions and repurchases of our common stock as well as the repayment of our $1.0 billion Global Notes in December 2006. During the first half of fiscal 2007, we issued $16.1 billion and repaid $14.2 billion of commercial paper. As of April 30, 2007, we had $10 million in total borrowings collateralized by certain financing receivable assets.

        The majority of our outstanding debt relates to HPFS. We issue debt in order to finance HPFS and as needed for other purposes. HPFS has a business model that is asset-intensive in nature and therefore is more debt-funded than our other business segments. At April 30, 2007, HPFS had approximately $7.5 billion in net portfolio assets, which included short- and long-term financing receivables and operating lease assets.

        We have the following resources available to obtain short-term or long-term financings, if we need additional liquidity:

        In November 2006, in connection with the Mercury acquisition, we assumed notes issued by Mercury with a face value of $300 million, maturing on July 1, 2007 and bearing interest at a rate of 4.75% per annum (the "Mercury Notes"). As of April 30, 2007, we had repurchased substantially all of the Mercury Notes.

        In May 2006, we filed a shelf registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") to enable us to offer and sell from time to time, in one or more offerings, debt securities, common stock, preferred stock, depositary shares and warrants. On May 23, 2006, we issued $1.0 billion in floating rate global notes under this registration statement, which we have since elected to redeem in full on June 18, 2007 using existing cash, incremental borrowings, or both. We used a portion of the proceeds received from the issuance of those notes to repay our 5.25% Euro Medium-Term Notes due July 2006 at maturity. We used the remainder of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes. On February 22, 2007, we issued an additional $2.0 billion of global notes under this registration statement. The global notes included $600 million of notes due March 2012 with a floating interest rate equal to the three-month USD LIBOR plus 0.11% per annum, $900 million of notes due March 2012 with a fixed interest rate of 5.25% per annum and $500 million of notes due March 2017 with a fixed interest rate of 5.40% per annum. HP issued the $600 million notes at par and the $900 million notes and $500 million notes at discounts to par at 99.938% and 99.694%, respectively. We used the net proceeds from these note offerings for general corporate purposes, including funding the repurchase of the

63



Mercury Notes as described above and repaying short-term commercial paper maturing during the second quarter of fiscal 2007.

        The securities issuable under the 2002 shelf registration statement include notes with due dates of nine months or more from issuance. The lines of credit are uncommitted and are available primarily through various foreign subsidiaries. In April 2005, we increased our U.S. commercial paper program to $6.0 billion.

        We have a $3.0 billion U.S. credit facility expiring in December 2010. This credit facility is a senior unsecured committed borrowing arrangement primarily to support our U.S. commercial paper program. Our ability to have a U.S. commercial paper outstanding balance that exceeds the $3.0 billion committed credit facility is subject to a number of factors, including liquidity conditions and business performance.

        Our credit risk is evaluated by three independent rating agencies based upon publicly available information as well as information obtained in our ongoing discussions with them. Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, Moody's Investors Service and Fitch Ratings currently rate our senior unsecured long term debt A, A2 and A+ and our short-term debt A-1, Prime-1, and F1, respectively. We do not have any rating downgrade triggers that would accelerate the maturity of a material amount of our debt. However, a downgrade in our credit rating would increase the cost of borrowings under our credit facilities. Also, a downgrade in our credit rating could limit our ability to issue commercial paper under our current programs. If this occurs, we would seek alternative sources of funding, including our credit facility or the issuance of notes under our existing shelf registration statements and our Euro Medium-Term Note Programme.

        We have revolving trade receivables-based facilities permitting us to sell certain trade receivables to third parties on a non-recourse basis. The aggregate maximum capacity under these programs was approximately $512 million as of April 30, 2007. We sold approximately $1.2 billion of trade receivables during the first half of fiscal 2007. Fees associated with these facilities do not generally differ materially from the cash discounts offered to these customers under alternative prompt payment programs. As of April 30, 2007, there was approximately $188 million available under these programs.

Contractual Obligations

        At April 30, 2007, our unconditional purchase obligations are approximately $2.4 billion, compared with $2.8 billion as previously reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006. Purchase obligations include agreements to purchase goods or services that are enforceable and legally binding on us and that specify all significant terms, including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. Purchase obligations exclude agreements that are cancelable without penalty. These purchase obligations are related principally to cost of sales, inventory and other items.

Funding Commitments

        We previously disclosed in our Consolidated Financial Statements for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006 that we expected to contribute approximately $120 million to our pension plans, approximately $15 million to cover benefit payments to U.S. non-qualified plan participants and approximately $80 million to cover benefit claims under our post-retirement benefit plans. As of April 30, 2007, we have made approximately $66 million of contributions to non-U.S. pension plans, paid $14 million to cover benefit payments to U.S. non-qualified plan participants, and paid $28 million to cover benefit claims under post-retirement benefit plans. We presently anticipate making additional contributions of between $45 million and $65 million to our pension plans and expect to pay $40 million to cover benefit claims under post-retirement benefit plans during the remainder of fiscal 2007. Our funding policy is to contribute cash to our pension plans so that we meet at least the

64



minimum contribution requirements, as established by local government and funding and taxing authorities. We expect to use contributions made to the post-retirement benefit plans primarily for the payment of retiree health claims incurred during the fiscal year.

        In conjunction with our announcement to modify our U.S. defined benefit pension plan and our Pre-2003 Retiree Medical Program, we offered eligible affected employees an option to participate in the 2007 EER. We will fund the cash expenditures associated with the 2007 EER primarily by using available U.S. pension plan assets. No incremental pension contributions are expected to be made to the pension plan stemming from the 2007 EER.

        We expect to make additional cash outlays associated with our restructuring plans during fiscal 2007. As a result of our approved restructuring plans, we expect future cash expenditures of $314 million, which is recorded on our Consolidated Condensed Balance Sheet at April 30, 2007. We expect to make cash payments of approximately $185 million during the remainder of fiscal 2007 and the majority of the remaining $129 million through 2014.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

        As part of our ongoing business, we have not participated in transactions that generate material relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities ("SPEs"), which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As of April 30, 2007, we are not involved in any material unconsolidated SPEs.

Indemnifications

        In the ordinary course of business, we enter into contractual arrangements under which we may agree to indemnify the third-party to such arrangement from any losses incurred relating to the services they perform on behalf of us or for losses arising from certain events as defined within the particular contract, which may include, for example, litigation or claims relating to past performance. Such indemnification obligations may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. Historically, payments we have made related to these indemnifications have been immaterial.

FACTORS THAT COULD AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

        Because of the following factors, as well as other variables affecting our operating results, past financial performance may not be a reliable indicator of future performance, and historical trends should not be used to anticipate results or trends in future periods.

The competitive pressures we face could harm our revenue, gross margin and prospects.

        We encounter aggressive competition from numerous and varied competitors in all areas of our business, and our competitors may target our key market segments. We compete primarily on the basis of technology, performance, price, quality, reliability, brand, reputation, distribution, range of products and services, ease of use of our products, account relationships, customer training, service and support, security, availability of application software, and Internet infrastructure offerings. If our products, services, support and cost structure do not enable us to compete successfully based on any of those criteria, our operations, results and prospects could be harmed.

65


        Unlike many of our competitors, we have a portfolio of businesses and must allocate resources across these businesses while competing with companies that specialize in one or more of these product lines. As a result, we may invest less in certain areas of our businesses than our competitors do, and these competitors may have greater financial, technical and marketing resources available to them than our businesses that compete against them. Industry consolidation also may affect competition by creating larger, more homogeneous and potentially stronger competitors in the markets in which we compete, and our competitors also may affect our business by entering into exclusive arrangements with existing or potential customers or suppliers.

        We may have to continue to lower the prices of many of our products and services to stay competitive, while at the same time trying to maintain or improve revenue and gross margin. The markets in which we do business, particularly the personal computer and printing markets, are highly competitive, and we encounter aggressive price competition for all of our products and services from numerous companies globally. Over the past several years, price competition in the market for personal computers, printers and related products has been particularly intense as competitors have aggressively cut prices and lowered their product margins for these products. Our results of operations and financial condition may be adversely affected by these and other industry-wide pricing pressures.

        Because our business model is based on providing innovative and high quality products, we may spend a proportionately greater amount on research and development than some of our competitors. If we cannot proportionately decrease our cost structure on a timely basis in response to competitive price pressures, our gross margin and therefore our profitability could be adversely affected. In addition, if our pricing and other factors are not sufficiently competitive, or if there is an adverse reaction to our product decisions, we may lose market share in certain areas, which could adversely affect our revenue and prospects.

        Even if we are able to maintain or increase market share for a particular product, revenue could decline because the product is in a maturing industry. Revenue and margins also could decline due to increased competition from other types of products. For example, refill and remanufactured alternatives for some of HP's LaserJet toner and inkjet cartridges compete with HP's supplies business. In addition, other companies have developed and marketed new compatible cartridges for HP's LaserJet and inkjet products, particularly in jurisdictions outside of the United States where adequate intellectual property protection may not exist. HP expects competitive refill and remanufacturing and cloned cartridge activity to continue to pressure margins in IPG, which in turn has a significant impact on HP margins and profitability overall.

If we cannot continue to develop, manufacture and market products and services that meet customer requirements for innovation and quality, our revenue and gross margin may suffer.

        The process of developing new high technology products and services and enhancing existing products and services is complex, costly and uncertain, and any failure by us to anticipate customers' changing needs and emerging technological trends accurately could significantly harm our market share and results of operations. We must make long-term investments, develop or obtain appropriate intellectual property and commit significant resources before knowing whether our predictions will accurately reflect customer demand for our products and services. After we develop a product, we must be able to manufacture appropriate volumes quickly and at low costs. To accomplish this, we must accurately forecast volumes, mixes of products and configurations that meet customer requirements, and we may not succeed at all or within a given product's life cycle. Any delay in the development, production or marketing of a new product could result in our not being among the first to market, which could further harm our competitive position.

        In the course of conducting our business, we must adequately address quality issues associated with our products and services, including defects in our engineering, design and manufacturing processes, as

66



well as defects in third-party components included in our products. In order to address quality issues, we work extensively with our customers and suppliers and engage in product testing to determine the cause of the problem and to determine appropriate solutions. However, we may have limited ability to control quality issues, particularly with respect to faulty components manufactured by third parties. If we are unable to determine the cause, find an appropriate solution or offer a temporary fix (or "patch"), we may delay shipment to customers, which would delay revenue recognition and could adversely affect our revenue and reported results. Finding solutions to quality issues can be expensive and may result in additional warranty, replacement and other costs, adversely affecting our profits. If new or existing customers have difficulty operating our products, our operating margins could be adversely affected, and we could face possible claims if we fail to meet our customers' expectations. In addition, quality issues can impair our relationships with new or existing customers and adversely affect our reputation, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

If we do not effectively manage our product and services transitions, our revenue may suffer.

        Many of the industries in which we compete are characterized by rapid technological advances in hardware performance and software features and functionality; frequent introduction of new products; short product life cycles; and continual improvement in product price characteristics relative to product performance. Among the risks associated with the introduction of new products and services are delays in development or manufacturing, variations in costs, delays in customer purchases or reductions in price of existing products in anticipation of new introductions, difficulty in predicting customer demand for the new offerings and effectively managing inventory levels so that they are in line with anticipated demand, risks associated with customer qualification and evaluation of new products and the risk that new products may have quality or other defects or may not be supported adequately by application software. If we do not make an effective transition from existing products and services to future offerings, our revenue may decline.

        Our revenue and gross margin also may suffer due to the timing of product or service introductions by our suppliers and competitors. This is especially challenging when a product has a short life cycle or a competitor introduces a new product just before our own product introduction. Furthermore, sales of our new products and services may replace sales, or result in discounting of some of our current offerings, offsetting the benefit of even a successful introduction. There also may be overlaps in the current products and services of HP and portfolios acquired through mergers and acquisitions that we must manage. In addition, it may be difficult to ensure performance of new customer contracts in accordance with our revenue, margin and cost estimates and to achieve operational efficiencies embedded in our estimates. Given the competitive nature of our industry, if any of these risks materializes, future demand for our products and services and our results of operations may suffer.

Our revenue, cost of sales, and expenses may suffer if we cannot continue to license or enforce the intellectual property rights on which our business depends or if third parties assert that we violate their intellectual property rights.

        We rely upon patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws in the United States and similar laws in other countries, and agreements with our employees, customers, suppliers and other parties, to establish and maintain our intellectual property rights in technology and products used in our operations. However, any of our direct or indirect intellectual property rights could be challenged, invalidated or circumvented, or such intellectual property rights may not be sufficient to permit us to take advantage of current market trends or otherwise to provide competitive advantages, which could result in costly product redesign efforts, discontinuance of certain product offerings or other competitive harm. Further, the laws of certain countries do not protect our proprietary rights to the same extent as the laws of the United States. Therefore, in certain jurisdictions we may be unable to

67



protect our proprietary technology adequately against unauthorized third-party copying or use, which could adversely affect our competitive position.

        Because of the rapid pace of technological change in the information technology industry, much of our business and many of our products rely on key technologies developed or licensed by third parties. We may not be able to obtain or to continue to obtain licenses and technologies from these third parties at all or on reasonable terms, or such third parties may demand cross-licenses to our intellectual property. In addition, it is possible that as a consequence of a merger or acquisition transaction third parties may obtain licenses to some of our intellectual property rights or our business may be subject to certain restrictions that were not in place prior to the transaction. Consequently, we may lose a competitive advantage with respect to these intellectual property rights or we may be required to enter into costly arrangements in order to terminate or limit these rights.

        Third parties also may claim that we or customers indemnified by us are infringing upon their intellectual property rights. For example, in recent years, individuals and groups have begun purchasing intellectual property assets for the sole purpose of making claims of infringement and attempting to extract settlements from large companies such as HP. If we cannot or do not license the infringed technology at all or on reasonable terms or substitute similar technology from another source, our operations could suffer. Even if we believe that the claims are without merit, the claims can be time-consuming and costly to defend and divert management's attention and resources away from our business. Claims of intellectual property infringement also might require us to redesign affected products, enter into costly settlement or license agreements or pay costly damage awards, or face a temporary or permanent injunction prohibiting us from marketing or selling certain of our products. Even if we have an agreement to indemnify us against such costs, the indemnifying party may be unable to uphold its contractual agreements to us.

        Finally, our results of operations and cash flows could be affected in certain periods and on an ongoing basis by the imposition, accrual and payment of copyright levies or similar fees. In certain countries (primarily in Europe), proceedings are ongoing against HP seeking to impose levies upon equipment (such as PCs, multifunction devices and printers) and alleging that the copyright owners are entitled to compensation because these devices enable reproducing copyrighted content. Other countries that do not yet have levies on these types of devices are expected to extend existing levy schemes. The ultimate impact of these potential copyright levies or similar fees, including the number of units impacted, the amount of levies imposed and the ability of HP to recover such amounts through increased prices, remains uncertain.

Economic uncertainty could adversely affect our revenue, gross margin and expenses.

        Our revenue and gross margin depend significantly on general economic conditions and the demand for computing and imaging products and services in the markets in which we compete. Economic weakness and constrained IT spending has previously resulted, and may result in the future, in decreased revenue, gross margin, earnings or growth rates and problems with our ability to manage inventory levels and collect customer receivables. We could experience such economic weakness and reduced spending, particularly in our consumer businesses, due to the effects of high fuel costs. In addition, customer financial difficulties have previously resulted, and could result in the future, in increases in bad debt write-offs and additions to reserves in our receivables portfolio, inability by our lessees to make required lease payments and reduction in the value of leased equipment upon its return to us compared to the value estimated at lease inception. We also have experienced, and may experience in the future, gross margin declines in certain businesses, reflecting the effect of items such as competitive pricing pressures, inventory write-downs, charges associated with the cancellation of planned production line expansion, and increases in pension and post-retirement benefit expenses. Economic downturns also may lead to restructuring actions and associated expenses. Uncertainty about future economic conditions makes it difficult for us to forecast operating results and to make decisions

68



about future investments. Delays or reductions in information technology spending could have a material adverse effect on demand for our products and services, and consequently our results of operations, prospects and stock price.

Terrorist acts, conflicts and wars may seriously harm our business and revenue, costs and expenses and financial condition and stock price.

        Terrorist acts, conflicts or wars (wherever located around the world) may cause damage or disruption to HP, our employees, facilities, partners, suppliers, distributors, resellers or customers. The potential for future attacks, the national and international responses to attacks or perceived threats to national security, and other actual or potential conflicts or wars, including the ongoing military operations in Iraq, have created many economic and political uncertainties. In addition, as a major multi-national company with headquarters and significant operations located in the United States, actions against or by the United States may impact our business or employees. Although it is impossible to predict the occurrences or consequences of any such events, they could result in a decrease in demand for our products, make it difficult or impossible to deliver products to our customers or to receive components from our suppliers, create delays and inefficiencies in our supply chain and result in the need to impose employee travel restrictions. We are predominantly uninsured for losses and interruptions caused by terrorist acts, conflicts and wars.

Due to the international nature of our business, political or economic changes or other factors could harm our future revenue, costs and expenses and financial condition.

        Sales outside the United States make up more than 60% of our net revenue. Our future revenue, gross margin, expenses and financial condition also could suffer due to a variety of international factors, including:

    ongoing instability or changes in a country's or region's economic or political conditions, including inflation, recession, interest rate fluctuations and actual or anticipated military or political conflicts;

    longer accounts receivable cycles and financial instability among customers;

    trade regulations and procedures and actions affecting production, pricing and marketing of products;

    local labor conditions and regulations;

    managing a geographically dispersed workforce;

    changes in the regulatory or legal environment;

    differing technology standards or customer requirements;

    import, export or other business licensing requirements or requirements relating to making foreign direct investments, which could affect our ability to obtain favorable terms for components or lead to penalties or restrictions;

    difficulties associated with repatriating cash generated or held abroad in a tax-efficient manner and changes in tax laws; and

    fluctuations in freight costs and disruptions in the transportation and shipping infrastructure at important geographic points of exit and entry for our products and shipments.

        The factors described above also could disrupt our product and component manufacturing and key suppliers located outside of the United States. For example, we rely on manufacturers in Taiwan for the production of notebook computers and other suppliers in Asia for product assembly and manufacture.

69



        As more than 60% of our sales are from countries outside of the United States, other currencies, particularly the euro and the Japanese yen, can have an impact on HP's results (expressed in U.S. dollars). Currency variations also contribute to variations in sales of products and services in impacted jurisdictions. In addition, currency variations can adversely affect margins on sales of our products in countries outside of the United States and margins on sales of products that include components obtained from suppliers located outside of the United States. We use a combination of forward contracts and options designated as cash flow hedges to protect against foreign currency exchange rate risks. Such hedging activities may be ineffective or may not offset more than a portion of the adverse financial impact resulting from currency variations. Gains or losses associated with hedging activities also may impact our revenue and to a lesser extent our cost of sales and financial condition.

        In many foreign countries, particularly in those with developing economies, it is common to engage in business practices that are prohibited by laws and regulations applicable to us, such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Although we implement policies and procedures designed to facilitate compliance with these laws, our employees, contractors and agents, as well as those companies to which we outsource certain of our business operations, may take actions in violation of our policies. Any such violation, even if prohibited by our policies, could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Business disruptions could seriously harm our future revenue and financial condition and increase our costs and expenses.

        Our worldwide operations could be subject to earthquakes, power shortages, telecommunications failures, water shortages, tsunamis, floods, hurricanes, typhoons, fires, extreme weather conditions, medical epidemics and other natural or manmade disasters or business interruptions, for which we are predominantly self-insured. The occurrence of any of these business disruptions could seriously harm our revenue and financial condition and increase our costs and expenses. Our corporate headquarters, and a portion of our research and development activities, are located in California, and other critical business operations and some of our suppliers are located in California and Asia, near major earthquake faults. The ultimate impact on us, our significant suppliers and our general infrastructure of being located near major earthquake faults is unknown, but our revenue, profitability and financial condition could suffer in the event of a major earthquake or other natural disaster. In addition, some areas, including California and parts of the East Coast, Southwest and Midwest of the United States, have previously experienced, and may experience in the future, major power shortages and blackouts. These blackouts could cause disruptions to our operations or the operations of our suppliers, distributors and resellers, or customers. Moreover, our planned consolidation of all of our worldwide IT data centers into six centers located in the southern U.S. could increase the impact on us of a natural disaster or other business disruption occurring in that geographic area.

If we fail to manage the distribution of our products and services properly, our revenue, gross margin and profitability could suffer.

        We use a variety of different distribution methods to sell our products and services, including third-party resellers and distributors and both direct and indirect sales to both enterprise accounts and consumers. Successfully managing the interaction of our direct and indirect channel efforts to reach various potential customer segments for our products and services is a complex process. Moreover, since each distribution method has distinct risks and gross margins, our failure to implement the most advantageous balance in the delivery model for our products and services could adversely affect our revenue and gross margins and therefore our profitability. Other distribution risks are described below.

    Our financial results could be materially adversely affected due to channel conflicts or if the financial conditions of our channel partners were to weaken.

70


        Our future operating results may be adversely affected by any conflicts that might arise between our various sales channels, the loss or deterioration of any alliance or distribution arrangement or the loss of retail shelf space. Moreover, some of our wholesale and retail distributors may have insufficient financial resources and may not be able to withstand changes in business conditions, including economic weakness and industry consolidation. Many of our significant distributors operate on narrow product margins and have been negatively affected by business pressures. Considerable trade receivables that are not covered by collateral or credit insurance are outstanding with our distribution and retail channel partners. Revenue from indirect sales could suffer, and we could experience disruptions in distribution if our distributors' financial conditions or operations weaken.

    Our inventory management is complex as we continue to sell a significant mix of products through distributors.

        We must manage inventory effectively, particularly with respect to sales to distributors, which involves forecasting demand and pricing issues. Distributors may increase orders during periods of product shortages, cancel orders if their inventory is too high or delay orders in anticipation of new products. Distributors also may adjust their orders in response to the supply of our products and the products of our competitors and seasonal fluctuations in end-user demand. Our reliance upon indirect distribution methods may reduce visibility to demand and pricing issues, and therefore make forecasting more difficult. If we have excess or obsolete inventory, we may have to reduce our prices and write down inventory. Moreover, our use of indirect distribution channels may limit our willingness or ability to adjust prices quickly and otherwise to respond to pricing changes by competitors. We also may have limited ability to estimate future product rebate redemptions in order to price our products effectively.

We depend on third-party suppliers, and our revenue and gross margin could suffer if we fail to manage supplier issues properly.

        Our operations depend on our ability to anticipate our needs for components, products and services and our suppliers' ability to deliver sufficient quantities of quality components, products and services at reasonable prices in time for us to meet critical schedules. Given the wide variety of systems, products and services that we offer, the large number of our suppliers and contract manufacturers that are dispersed across the globe, and the long lead times that are required to manufacture, assemble and deliver certain components and products, problems could arise in planning production and managing inventory levels that could seriously harm us. Other supplier problems that we could face include component shortages, excess supply, risks related to the terms of our contracts with suppliers, risks associated with contingent workers, and risks related to our relationships with single source suppliers, as described below.

    Shortages.    Occasionally we may experience a shortage of, or a delay in receiving, certain supplies as a result of strong demand, capacity constraints, supplier financial weaknesses, disputes with suppliers (some of which are also customers), other problems experienced by suppliers or problems faced during the transition to new suppliers. If shortages or delays persist, the price of these supplies may increase, we may be exposed to quality issues or the supplies may not be available at all. We may not be able to secure enough supplies at reasonable prices or of acceptable quality to build products or provide services in a timely manner in the quantities or according to the specifications needed. Accordingly, our revenue and gross margin could suffer as we could lose time-sensitive sales, incur additional freight costs or be unable to pass on price increases to our customers. If we cannot adequately address supply issues, we might have to reengineer some products or service offerings, resulting in further costs and delays.

    Oversupply.    In order to secure supplies for the provision of products or services, at times we may make advance payments to suppliers or enter into non-cancelable commitments with

71


      vendors. In addition, we may purchase supplies strategically in advance of demand to take advantage of favorable pricing or to address concerns about the availability of future supplies. If we fail to anticipate customer demand properly, a temporary oversupply could result in excess or obsolete components, which could adversely affect our gross margin.

    Contractual terms.    As a result of binding price or purchase commitments with vendors, we may be obligated to purchase supplies or services at prices that are higher than those available in the current market and be limited in our ability to respond to changing market conditions. In the event that we become committed to purchase supplies or services for prices in excess of the current market price, we may be at a disadvantage to competitors who have access to components or services at lower prices, and our gross margin could suffer. In addition, many of our competitors obtain products or components from the same Contract Manufacturers ("CMs"), Original Design Manufacturers ("ODMs") and suppliers that we utilize. Our competitors may obtain better pricing and other terms and more favorable allocations of products and components during periods of limited supply, and our ability to engage in relationships with certain CMs, ODMs and suppliers could be limited. In addition, certain of our CMs, ODMs and suppliers may decide in the future to discontinue conducting business with us. Any of these actions by our competitors, CMs, ODMs or suppliers could adversely affect our future operating results and financial condition.

    Contingent workers.    We also rely on third-party suppliers for the provision of contingent workers, and our failure to manage our use of such workers effectively could adversely affect our results of operations. As described in Note 14 to the Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements, we have been exposed to various legal claims relating to the status of contingent workers and could face similar claims in the future. We may be subject to shortages, oversupply or fixed contractual terms relating to contingent workers, as described above. Our ability to manage the size of, and costs associated with, the contingent workforce may be subject to additional constraints imposed by local laws.

    Single source suppliers.    Our use of single source suppliers for certain components could exacerbate our supplier issues. We obtain a significant number of components from single sources due to technology, availability, price, quality or other considerations. For example, we rely on Intel to provide us with a sufficient supply of processors for many of our PCs, workstations, handheld computing devices and servers, and some of those processors are customized for our products. New products that we introduce may utilize custom components obtained from only one source initially until we have evaluated whether there is a need for additional suppliers. Replacing a single source supplier could delay production of some products as replacement suppliers initially may be subject to capacity constraints or other output limitations. For some components, such as customized components and some of the processors that we obtain from Intel, alternative sources may not exist or those alternative sources may be unable to produce the quantities of those components necessary to satisfy our production requirements. In addition, we sometimes purchase components from single source suppliers under short-term agreements that contain favorable pricing and other terms but that may be unilaterally modified or terminated by the supplier with limited notice and with little or no penalty. The performance of such single source suppliers under those agreements (and the renewal or extension of those agreements upon similar terms) may affect the quality, quantity and price of supplies to HP. The loss of a single source supplier, the deterioration of our relationship with a single source supplier, or any unilateral modification to the contractual terms under which we are supplied components by a single source supplier could adversely effect our revenue and gross margins.

72


If we fail to comply with our customer contracts or government contracting regulations, our revenue could suffer.

        Our contracts with our customers often include unique and specialized performance requirements. In particular, our contracts with federal, state, provincial and local governmental customers are subject to various procurement regulations, contract provisions and other requirements relating to their formation, administration and performance. Any failure by us to comply with the specific provisions in our customer contracts or any violation of government contracting regulations could result in the imposition of various civil and criminal penalties, which may include termination of contracts, forfeiture of profits, suspension of payments and, in the case of our government contracts, fines and suspension from future government contracting. In addition, we are currently, and in the future may be, subject to qui tam litigation brought by private individuals on behalf of the government relating to our government contracts, which could include claims for up to treble damages. Further, any negative publicity related to our customer contracts or any proceedings surrounding them, regardless of its accuracy, may damage our business by affecting our ability to compete for new contracts. If our customer contracts are terminated, if we are suspended from government work, or if our ability to compete for new contracts is adversely affected, we could suffer a material reduction in expected revenue.

The revenue and profitability of our operations have historically varied, which makes our future financial results less predictable.

        Our revenue, gross margin and profit vary among our products and services, customer groups and geographic markets and therefore will likely be different in future periods than our current results. Overall gross margins and profitability in any given period are dependent partially on the product, customer and geographic mix reflected in that period's net revenue. In particular, IPG and certain of its business units such as printer supplies contribute significantly to our gross margin and profitability. Competition, lawsuits, investigations and other risks affecting IPG, therefore may have a significant impact on our overall gross margin and profitability. Certain segments, and ESS in particular, have a higher fixed cost structure and more variation in gross margins across their business units and product portfolios than others and may therefore experience significant operating profit volatility on a quarterly basis. In addition, newer geographic markets may be relatively less profitable due to investments associated with entering those markets and local pricing pressures. Market trends, competitive pressures, commoditization of products, seasonal rebates, increased component or shipping costs, regulatory impacts and other factors may result in reductions in revenue or pressure on gross margins of certain segments in a given period, which may necessitate adjustments to our operations.

Unanticipated changes in HP's tax provisions or exposure to additional income tax liabilities could affect our profitability.

        We are subject to income taxes in the United States and numerous foreign jurisdictions. Our tax liabilities are affected by the amounts we charge for inventory, services, licenses, funding and other items in intercompany transactions. We are subject to ongoing tax audits in various jurisdictions. Tax authorities may disagree with our intercompany charges or other matters and assess additional taxes. We regularly assess the likely outcomes of these audits in order to determine the appropriateness of our tax provision. However, there can be no assurance that we will accurately predict the outcomes of these audits, and the actual outcomes of these audits could have a material impact on our net income or financial condition. In addition, our effective tax rate in the future could be adversely affected by changes in the mix of earnings in countries with differing statutory tax rates, changes in the valuation of deferred tax assets and liabilities, changes in tax laws and the discovery of new information in the course of our tax return preparation process. In particular, the carrying value of deferred tax assets, which are predominantly in the United States, is dependent on our ability to generate future taxable

73



income in the United States. Any of these changes could affect our profitability. Furthermore, our tax provisions could be adversely affected as a result of any new interpretative accounting guidance related to accounting for uncertain tax positions, such as FIN 48.

Our sales cycle makes planning and inventory management difficult and future financial results less predictable.

        In some of our segments, our quarterly sales often have reflected a pattern in which a disproportionate percentage of each quarter's total sales occur towards the end of such quarter. This uneven sales pattern makes prediction of revenue, earnings, cash flow from operations and working capital for each financial period difficult, increases the risk of unanticipated variations in quarterly results and financial condition and places pressure on our inventory management and logistics systems. If predicted demand is substantially greater than orders, there will be excess inventory. Alternatively, if orders substantially exceed predicted demand, we may not be able to fulfill all of the orders received in the last few weeks of each quarter. Other developments late in a quarter, such as a systems failure, component pricing movements, component shortages or global logistics disruptions, could adversely impact inventory levels and results of operations in a manner that is disproportionate to the number of days in the quarter affected.

        We experience some seasonal trends in the sale of our products that also may produce variations in quarterly results and financial condition. For example, sales to governments (particularly sales to the United States government) are often stronger in the third calendar quarter, consumer sales are often stronger in the fourth calendar quarter, and many customers whose fiscal and calendar years are the same spend their remaining capital budget authorizations in the fourth calendar quarter prior to new budget constraints in the first calendar quarter of the following year. European sales are often weaker during the summer months. Demand during the spring and early summer also may be adversely impacted by market anticipation of seasonal trends. Moreover, to the extent that we introduce new products in anticipation of seasonal demand trends, our discounting of existing products may adversely affect our gross margin prior to or shortly after such product launches. Typically, our third fiscal quarter is our weakest and our fourth fiscal quarter is our strongest. Many of the factors that create and affect seasonal trends are beyond our control.

Any failure by us to execute planned cost reductions successfully could result in total costs and expenses that are greater than expected.

        Historically, we have undertaken restructuring and other cost reduction plans to bring operational expenses to appropriate levels for each of our businesses, while simultaneously implementing extensive new company-wide expense control programs. In July 2005, we announced workforce restructurings as well as reductions through a U.S. early retirement program. As of April 30, 2007, 14,860 positions have been eliminated and 150 positions are expected to be eliminated by the end of fiscal 2007. We expect to reinvest a significant portion of the cost savings from these actions to offset market forces or to be reinvested in our businesses to strengthen HP's competitiveness, particularly through hiring in key areas. We may have further workforce reductions or rebalancing actions in the future. Significant risks associated with these actions and other workforce management issues that may impair our ability to achieve anticipated cost reductions or may otherwise harm our business include delays in implementation of anticipated workforce reductions in highly regulated locations outside of the United States, particularly in Europe and Asia, and increased costs associated with workforce reductions in those locations, redundancies among restructuring programs, decreases in employee morale and the failure to meet operational targets due to the loss of employees, particularly sales employees.

        During HP's third fiscal quarter of 2006, we announced a multi-year plan to reduce IT spending by consolidating HP's 85 data centers worldwide into six larger centers located in three U.S. cities, a four-year program to reduce real estate costs by consolidating several hundred HP real estate locations

74



worldwide to fewer core sites, and a plan to integrate the activities carried out by our Global Operations organization directly into our business segments. Such actions are expected to result in instances of accelerated depreciation or asset impairment when we vacate facilities or cease using equipment before the end of their respective lease term or asset life. Our ability to achieve the anticipated cost savings and other benefits from these initiatives within the expected time frame is subject to many estimates and assumptions, including assumptions regarding the costs and timing of activities in connection with these initiatives. These estimates and assumptions are subject to significant economic, competitive and other uncertainties some of which are beyond our control. If these assumptions are not realized and we experience delays, or if other unforeseen events occur, our business and results of operations could be adversely affected.

        In February 2007, we announced that we will modify our defined benefit pension plan for the remaining number of U.S. employees still accruing benefits under the program and that, effective July 1, 2007, we will reduce eligibility for our subsidized retiree medical program. Effective January 1, 2008, these employees will cease accruing pension benefits and will, instead, receive an increased 401(k) match of 6 percent from 4 percent of eligible earnings. As part of this announcement, we offered an option for eligible affected employees to participate in an early retirement program. The cost of the early retirement program, which will be funded using pension plan assets, is estimated to be approximately $395 million. A total of 3,077 employees participated in the program, which included 593 employees who had been included in previous restructuring programs or who had voluntarily left the company since November 30, 2006. All participating employees left the company as of May 31, 2007, and we expect to replace the majority of those employees in the coming months. Our ability to achieve the anticipated cost savings and other benefits from these benefit plan changes is subject to many estimates and assumptions, including assumptions regarding the actual cost of the early retirement program, the costs associated with the replacement of retiring employees, and the savings associated with benefit plan changes. These estimates and assumptions are subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond our control. If these assumptions are not realized or if other unforeseen events occur, our results of operations could be adversely affected.

In order to be successful, we must attract, retain and motivate key employees, and failure to do so could seriously harm us.

        In order to be successful, we must attract, retain and motivate executives and other key employees, including those in managerial, technical, sales, marketing and IT support positions. In particular, we will need to replace a majority of our U.S. employees who exit the company in connection with the pension and retiree medical benefit plan changes and the related early retirement program announced in February 2007. Hiring and retaining qualified executives, engineers, skilled solutions providers in the IT support business and qualified sales representatives are critical to our future, and competition for experienced employees in the IT industry can be intense. The failure to hire or loss of key employees could have a significant impact on our operations.

Cost reduction efforts associated with our share-based payment awards and other compensation and benefit programs could adversely affect our ability to attract and retain employees.

        We have historically used stock options and other forms of share-based payment awards as key components of our total rewards employee compensation program in order to align employees' interests with the interests of our stockholders, encourage employee retention and provide competitive compensation and benefit packages. HP began recording charges to earnings for stock-based compensation expense in the first quarter of fiscal 2006 in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (revised 2004), "Share-Based Payment". As a result, we began to incur increased compensation costs associated with our stock-based compensation programs. Moreover, difficulties relating to obtaining stockholder approval of equity compensation plans could make it

75



harder or more expensive for us to grant share-based payment awards to employees in the future. Like other companies, HP has reviewed its equity compensation strategy in light of the current regulatory and competitive environment and has reduced the total number of options granted to employees and the number of employees who receive share-based payment awards. Due to this change in our stock-based compensation strategy, combined with the pension and other benefit plan changes undertaken to reduce costs and our increasing reliance on variable pay, we may find it difficult to attract, retain and motivate employees, and any such difficulty could materially adversely affect our business.

HP's stock price has historically fluctuated and may continue to fluctuate, which may make future prices of HP's stock difficult to predict.

        HP's stock price, like that of other technology companies, can be volatile. Some of the factors that can affect our stock price are:

    speculation in the press or investment community about, or actual changes in, our executive team, strategic position, business, organizational structure, operations, financial condition, financial reporting and results, effectiveness of cost cutting efforts, prospects or extraordinary transactions;

    the announcement of new products, services, technological innovations or acquisitions by HP or competitors; and

    quarterly increases or decreases in revenue, gross margin, earnings or cash flow from operations, changes in estimates by the investment community or guidance provided by HP, and variations between actual and estimated financial results.

        General or industry-specific market conditions or stock market performance or domestic or international macroeconomic and geopolitical factors unrelated to HP's performance also may affect the price of HP common stock. For these reasons, investors should not rely on recent trends to predict future stock prices, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. In addition, following periods of volatility in a company's securities, securities class action litigation against a company is sometimes instituted. If instituted against HP, this type of litigation could result in substantial costs and the diversion of management time and resources.

System security risks and systems integration issues could disrupt our internal operations or information technology services provided to customers, and any such disruption could harm our revenue, increase our expenses and harm our reputation and stock price.

        Experienced computer programmers and hackers may be able to penetrate our network security and misappropriate our confidential information or that of third parties, create system disruptions or cause shutdowns. In addition, computer programmers and hackers may be able to develop and deploy viruses, worms, and other malicious software programs that attack our products or otherwise exploit any security vulnerabilities of our products. As a result, we could incur significant expenses in addressing problems created by security breaches of our network and any security vulnerabilities of our products. Moreover, we could lose existing or potential customers for information technology outsourcing services or other information technology solutions or incur significant expenses in connection with our customers' system failures or any actual or perceived security vulnerabilities in our products. In addition, sophisticated hardware and operating system software and applications that we produce or procure from third parties may contain defects in design or manufacture, including "bugs" and other problems that could unexpectedly interfere with the operation of the system. The costs to us to eliminate or alleviate security problems, bugs, viruses, worms, malicious software programs and security vulnerabilities could be significant, and the efforts to address these problems could result in interruptions, delays, cessation of service and loss of existing or potential customers that may impede our sales, manufacturing, distribution or other critical functions.

76



        Portions of our IT infrastructure also may experience interruptions, delays or cessations of service or produce errors in connection with systems integration or migration work that takes place from time to time. We may not be successful in implementing new systems and transitioning data, including our planned consolidation of all of our worldwide IT data centers into six centers, which could cause business disruptions and be more expensive, time consuming, disruptive and resource-intensive. Such disruptions could adversely impact our ability to fulfill orders and interrupt other processes. Delayed sales, lower margins or lost customers resulting from these disruptions have adversely affected in the past, and in the future could adversely affect, our financial results, stock price and reputation.

Any failure by us to manage, complete and integrate acquisitions, divestitures and other significant transactions successfully could harm our financial results, business and prospects and may result in financial results that are different than expected.

        As part of our business strategy, we frequently engage in discussions with third parties regarding possible investments, acquisitions, strategic alliances, joint ventures, divestitures and outsourcing transactions ("extraordinary transactions") and enter into agreements relating to such extraordinary transactions in order to further our business objectives. In order to pursue this strategy successfully, we must identify suitable candidates for and successfully complete extraordinary transactions, some of which may be large and complex, and manage post-closing issues such as the integration of acquired companies or employees. Integration and other risks of extraordinary transactions can be more pronounced for larger and more complicated transactions such as our recent acquisition of Mercury, or if multiple transactions are pursued simultaneously. If we fail to identify and complete successfully extraordinary transactions that further our strategic objectives, we may be required to expend resources to develop products and technology internally, we may be at a competitive disadvantage or we may be adversely affected by negative market perceptions, any of which may have a material adverse effect on our revenue, gross margin and profitability.

        Integration issues are complex, time-consuming and expensive and, without proper planning and implementation, could significantly disrupt our business. The challenges involved in integration include:

    combining product offerings and entering into new markets in which we are not experienced;

    convincing customers and distributors that the transaction will not diminish client service standards or business focus, preventing customers and distributors from deferring purchasing decisions or switching to other suppliers (which could result in our incurring additional obligations in order to address customer uncertainty), minimizing sales force attrition and coordinating sales, marketing and distribution efforts;

    consolidating and rationalizing corporate IT infrastructure, which may include multiple legacy systems from various acquisitions and integrating software code;

    minimizing the diversion of management attention from ongoing business concerns;

    persuading employees that business cultures are compatible, maintaining employee morale and retaining key employees, engaging with employee works councils representing an acquired company's non-U.S. employees, integrating employees into HP, correctly estimating employee benefit costs and implementing restructuring programs;

    coordinating and combining administrative, manufacturing, research and development and other operations, subsidiaries, facilities and relationships with third parties in accordance with local laws and other obligations while maintaining adequate standards, controls and procedures;

    achieving savings from supply chain integration; and

    managing integration issues shortly after or pending the completion of other independent transactions.

77


        We evaluate and enter into significant extraordinary transactions on an ongoing basis. We may not fully realize all of the anticipated benefits of any extraordinary transaction, and the timeframe for achieving benefits of an extraordinary transaction may depend partially upon the actions of employees, suppliers or other third parties. In addition, the pricing and other terms of our contracts for extraordinary transactions require us to make estimates and assumptions at the time we enter into these contracts, and, during the course of our due diligence, we may not identify all of the factors necessary to estimate our costs accurately. Any increased or unexpected costs, unanticipated delays or failure to achieve contractual obligations could make these agreements less profitable or unprofitable.

        Managing extraordinary transactions requires varying levels of management resources, which may divert our attention from other business operations. These extraordinary transactions also have resulted and in the future may result in significant costs and expenses and charges to earnings, including those related to severance pay, early retirement costs, employee benefit costs, asset impairment charges, charges from the elimination of duplicative facilities and contracts, in-process research and development charges, inventory adjustments, assumed litigation and other liabilities, legal, accounting and financial advisory fees, and required payments to executive officers and key employees under retention plans. Moreover, HP has incurred and will incur additional depreciation and amortization expense over the useful lives of certain assets acquired in connection with extraordinary transactions, and, to the extent that the value of goodwill or intangible assets with indefinite lives acquired in connection with an extraordinary transaction becomes impaired, we may be required to incur additional material charges relating to the impairment of those assets. In order to complete an acquisition, we may issue common stock, potentially creating dilution for existing stockholders, or borrow, affecting our financial condition and potentially our credit ratings. Any prior or future downgrades in our credit rating associated with an acquisition could adversely affect our ability to borrow and result in more restrictive borrowing terms. In addition, HP's effective tax rate on an ongoing basis is uncertain, and extraordinary transactions could impact our effective tax rate. We also may experience risks relating to the challenges and costs of closing an extraordinary transaction and the risk that an announced extraordinary transaction may not close. As a result, any completed, pending or future transactions may contribute to financial results that differ from the investment community's expectations in a given quarter.

We cannot predict the outcome of various regulatory inquiries and stockholder derivative action lawsuits arising out of the processes employed in the investigation into leaks of HP confidential information to members of the media, and we may be named in additional regulatory inquiries and stockholder litigation, all of which could result in significant legal and other expenses.

        The Attorney General of the State of California, the Committee on Energy and Commerce of the U.S. House of Representatives, the U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of California, the Division of Enforcement of the SEC and the U.S. Federal Communications Commission are all conducting or have conducted inquiries or investigations relating to the processes employed in the investigation into leaks of HP confidential information to members of the media. Four stockholder derivative lawsuits also have been filed in California (all of which have been consolidated into a single lawsuit) and two in Delaware (both of which have been consolidated into a single lawsuit) purportedly on behalf of HP stockholders seeking to recover damages and to obtain specified injunctive relief stemming from the activities of the leak investigations. Other regulatory inquiries or investigations may be commenced by other U.S. federal, state or foreign regulatory agencies, and we may in the future be subject to additional litigation or other proceedings arising in relation to these matters. The period of time necessary to resolve the ongoing regulatory inquiries and investigations and stockholder lawsuits is uncertain, and the expense of responding to these inquiries and defending such litigation may be significant. In addition, we may be obligated to indemnify (and advance legal expenses to) former or current directors, officers or employees in accordance with the terms of our certificate of incorporation, bylaws, other applicable agreements, and Delaware law. Further, if we enter into settlement agreements

78



or are subject to an adverse finding resulting from any of these inquiries, we could be required to pay fines or penalties or have other remedies imposed upon us.

        We have entered into an agreement with the California Attorney General to resolve civil claims relating to the leak investigation. Under the terms of the agreement, which includes an injunction, we have paid a total of $14.5 million and to implement and maintain for five years a series of measures designed to ensure that HP's corporate investigations are conducted in accordance with California law and the company's high ethical standards. We also have consented to the entry of an order by the SEC ordering HP to cease and desist from committing or causing violations of the public reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. If we fail to implement and maintain the measures required under the agreement with the California Attorney General or if we fail to comply with the SEC cease and desist order, we could be subject to civil or criminal penalties.

In connection with our acquisition of Mercury, we have assumed responsibility for various stockholder derivative matters and regulatory inquiries that were pending against Mercury at the time of the acquisition, which could result in significant legal expenses and may result in the payment of substantial amounts in damages.

        In November 2006, HP completed its acquisition of Mercury. Upon completion of the acquisition, HP assumed oversight for all litigation and regulatory matters pending or subsequently commenced against Mercury. Prior to the announcement of the acquisition, and beginning on or about August 19, 2005, four securities class action lawsuits were filed (all of which have since been consolidated into a single lawsuit) seeking unspecified monetary damages and other relief from Mercury and certain of its officers and directors for alleged violations of the federal securities laws. In addition, on February 26, 2007, HP received a request from the Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations of the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs for information relating to Mercury's past executive compensation and stock option granting policies and procedures, including information about the practice of backdating the grant date of options that allegedly occurred before HP acquired Mercury. The cost of defending such litigation and responding to the Senate inquiry may be significant. In addition, if we enter into settlement agreements or are subject to adverse findings in connection with such litigation, we could be required to pay substantial amounts in damages.

Unforeseen environmental costs could impact our future net earnings.

        Some of our operations use substances regulated under various federal, state and international laws governing the environment, including laws governing the discharge of pollutants into the air and water, the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes and the cleanup of contaminated sites. Many of our products are subject to various federal, state and international laws governing chemical substances in products, including laws regulating the manufacture and distribution of chemical substances and laws restricting the presence of certain substances in electronics products. We could incur substantial costs, including cleanup costs, fines and civil or criminal sanctions, third-party property damage or personal injury claims, or our products could be enjoined from entering certain jurisdictions, if we were to violate or become liable under environmental laws or if our products become non-compliant with environmental laws. We also face increasing complexity in our product design and procurement operations as we adjust to new and future requirements relating to the materials composition of our products, including the restrictions on lead, cadmium and certain other substances that apply to specified electronics products put on the market in the European Union as of July 1, 2006 (Restriction of Hazardous Substances Directive) and similar legislation in China, the labeling provisions of which went into effect on March 1, 2007 in China. The ultimate costs under environmental laws and the timing of these costs are difficult to predict, and liability under some environmental laws relating to contaminated sites can be imposed retroactively and on a joint and several basis. It is our policy to apply strict standards for environmental protection to sites inside and

79



outside the United States, even when we are not subject to local government regulations. We also could face significant costs and liabilities in connection with product take-back legislation. We record a liability for environmental remediation and other environmental costs when we consider the costs to be probable and the amount of the costs can be reasonably estimated. The EU has enacted the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Directive, which makes producers of electrical goods, including computers and printers, financially responsible for specified collection, recycling, treatment and disposal of past and future covered products. The deadline for the individual member states of the EU to enact the directive in their respective countries was August 13, 2004 (such legislation, together with the directive, the "WEEE Legislation"). Producers participating in the market became financially responsible for implementing these responsibilities beginning in August 2005. Implementation in certain EU member states has been delayed into 2007. HP's potential liability resulting from the WEEE Legislation may be substantial. Similar legislation has been or may be enacted in other jurisdictions, including in the United States, Canada, Mexico, China and Japan, the cumulative impact of which could be significant.

Some anti-takeover provisions contained in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could impair a takeover attempt.

        We have provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, each of which could have the effect of rendering more difficult or discouraging an acquisition of HP deemed undesirable by our Board of Directors. These include provisions:

    authorizing blank check preferred stock, which HP could issue with voting, liquidation, dividend and other rights superior to our common stock;

    limiting the liability of, and providing indemnification to, HP's directors and officers;

    specifying that HP stockholders may take action only at a duly called annual or special meeting of stockholders and otherwise in accordance with our bylaws and limiting the ability of our stockholders to call special meetings;

    requiring advance notice of proposals by HP stockholders for business to be conducted at stockholder meetings and for nominations of candidates for election to our Board of Directors;

    requiring a vote by the holders of two-thirds of HP's outstanding shares to amend certain bylaws relating to HP stockholder meetings, the Board of Directors and indemnification; and

    controlling the procedures for conduct of HP Board and stockholder meetings and election, appointment and removal of HP directors.

        These provisions, alone or together, could deter or delay hostile takeovers, proxy contests and changes in control or management of HP. As a Delaware corporation, HP also is subject to provisions of Delaware law, including Section 203 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, which prevents some stockholders from engaging in certain business combinations without approval of the holders of substantially all of HP's outstanding common stock.

        Any provision of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws or Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control of HP could limit the opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of HP common stock and also could affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for HP common stock.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

        For quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk affecting HP, see "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk" in Item 7A of Part II, of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2006, which is incorporated herein by reference. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since October 31, 2006.


Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

        Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), as of the end of the period covered by this report (the "Evaluation Date"). Based on this evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded as of the Evaluation Date that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to HP, including our consolidated subsidiaries, required to be disclosed in our SEC reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to HP's management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

        Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, we conducted an evaluation of any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during our most recently completed fiscal quarter. Based on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and principal financial officer concluded that there has not been any change in our internal control over financial reporting during that quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

(1)
Included in the March 2007 repurchases are 40 million shares repurchased under an accelerated share repurchase program (the "ASR Program"), as further described below.

(2)
Includes an additional $8.0 billion share repurchase authorization authorized by HP's Board of Directors on March 15, 2007.

        HP repurchased shares in the second quarter of fiscal 2007 under an ongoing program to manage the dilution created by shares issued under employee stock plans as well as to repurchase shares opportunistically. This program, which does not have a specific expiration date, authorizes repurchases in the open market or in private transactions. All shares repurchased in the second quarter of fiscal 2007, other than shares repurchased under the ASR Program and the prepaid variable share purchase program discussed below, were purchased in open market transactions.

        HP entered into the ASR Program during the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Pursuant to the terms of the ASR Program, HP purchased 40 million shares of its common stock from a third-party investment bank for $1.8 billion (the "Purchase Price") on March 30, 2007 (the "Purchase Date"). HP decreased its shares outstanding and reduced the outstanding shares used to calculate the weighted-average common shares outstanding for both basic and diluted EPS on the Purchase Date. The shares delivered to HP included shares that the investment bank borrowed from third parties. The investment bank purchased an equivalent number of shares in the open market to cover its position with respect to

82



the borrowed shares during a contractually specified averaging period that began on the Purchase Date and ended on June 6, 2007. As of April 30, 2007, the investment bank had purchased approximately 18 million shares in the open market for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $736 million. At the end of the averaging period the investment bank's total purchase cost based on the volume weighted-average purchase price of HP shares during the averaging period was approximately $90 million less than the Purchase Price, so HP expects to receive additional HP shares to be purchased by the investment bank in the open market with a value approximately equal to that amount. HP expects to receive the additional shares during the third quarter of fiscal 2007 and will treat them as additional repurchased shares at that time.

        In addition to the above shares that HP repurchased, HP received 6 million shares of common stock, under its prepaid variable share purchase program ("PVSPP") during the second quarter of fiscal 2007. HP entered into the PVSPP with a third-party investment bank during the first quarter of fiscal 2006. Under the PVSPP, HP prepaid $1.7 billion in exchange for the right to receive a variable number of shares of its common stock weekly over a one-year period beginning in the second quarter of fiscal 2006 and ending during the second quarter of fiscal 2007. The 6 million shares of common stock that HP received under the PVSPP reduced the prepaid balance under the PVSPP by $199 million during the second quarter of fiscal 2007. Such shares and amounts are reflected in the table above in the months the shares were received. HP completed all repurchases under the PVSPP on March 9, 2007. As of that date, HP had received a total of 53 million shares under the PVSPP. HP retired all shares repurchased, and HP no longer deemed those shares outstanding.

        On March 15, 2007, HP's Board of Directors authorized an additional $8.0 billion for future repurchases of HP's common stock. Taking into account that additional repurchase authorization, and after deducting the shares with a value of approximately $90 million to be received by HP in the third fiscal quarter of 2007 under the ASR Program, the remaining authorization for future share repurchases was $7.3 billion as of April 30, 2007.

There were 1,475,091,429 votes cast for the proposal, 533,502,013 votes cast against the proposal and 27,412,261 abstentions.

    The stockholders approved a stockholder proposal requesting that future long-term executive compensation for senior executives be performance-based. There were 1,080,373,975 votes cast for the proposal, 927,555,759 votes cast against the proposal and 28,075,969 abstentions.

The Shares may be authorized, but unissued, or reacquired Common Stock. Preferred stock may be issued in lieu of Common Stock for Awards.

 

If an Award expires or becomes unexercisable without having been exercised in full, the unpurchased Shares which were subject thereto, if any, shall become available for future grant or sale under the Plan (unless the Plan has terminated). Shares of Restricted Stock that are either forfeited or repurchased by the Company at their original purchase price shall become available for future grant or sale under the Plan. Shares that are tendered, whether by physical delivery or by attestation, to the Company by the Awardee as full or partial payment of the exercise price of any Award or in payment of any applicable withholding for federal, state, city, local or foreign taxes incurred in connection with the exercise of any Award shall become available for future grant or sale under the Plan; provided, however, that the total number of Shares so tendered from which Incentive Stock Options may be granted shall not exceed 250,000,000.

 

4. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN.

 

(a)           Procedure.

 

(i)            Multiple Administrative Bodies. The Plan may be administered by different Committees with respect to different groups of Participants.

 

(ii)           Section 162. To the extent that the Administrator determines it to be desirable to qualify Awards granted hereunder as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the Plan shall be administered by a Committee of two or more “outside directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code.

 

(iii)          Rule 16-3. To the extent desirable to qualify transactions hereunder as exempt under Rule 16b-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act (“Rule 16b-3”), the transactions contemplated hereunder shall be structured to satisfy the requirements for exemption under Rule 16b-3.

 

3



 

(iv)          Other Administration. The Board may delegate to the Executive Committee of the Board (the “Executive Committee”) the power to approve Awards to Participants who are not (A) subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act or (B) at the time of such approval, “covered employees” under Section 162(m) of the Code.

 

(v)           Delegation of Authority for the Day-to-Day Administration of the Plan. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or applicable rules of a stock exchange, the Board or any of its committees as shall be administering the Plan may delegate to one or more individuals the day-to-day administration of the Plan and any of the functions assigned to it in this Plan. The delegation may be revoked at any time.

 

(b)           Powers of the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, and in the case of a Committee, subject to the specific duties delegated by the Board to such Committee, the Administrator shall have the authority, in its discretion:

 

(i)            to select the Participants to whom Awards may be granted hereunder;

 

(ii)           to determine the number of shares of Common Stock to be covered by each Award granted hereunder;

 

(iii)          to approve forms of agreement for use under the Plan;

 

(iv)          to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Award granted hereunder. Such terms and conditions include, but are not limited to, the exercise price, the time or times when an Award may be exercised (which may or may not be based on performance criteria), any vesting acceleration or waiver of forfeiture restrictions, and any restriction or limitation regarding any Award or the Shares relating thereto, based in each case on such factors as the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall determine;

 

(v)           to construe and interpret the terms of the Plan and Awards granted pursuant to the Plan;

 

(vi)          to adopt rules and procedures relating to the operation and administration of the Plan to accommodate the specific requirements of local laws and procedures. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Administrator is specifically authorized (A) to adopt the rules and procedures regarding the conversion of local currency, withholding procedures and handling of stock certificates which vary with local requirements, (B) to adopt sub-plans and Plan addenda as the Administrator deems desirable, to accommodate foreign tax laws, regulations and practice;

 

(vii)         to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan, including rules and regulations relating to sub-plans and Plan addenda;

 

(viii)        to modify or amend each Award, including the discretionary authority to extend the post-termination exercisability period of Options longer than is

 

4



 

otherwise provided for in the Plan, provided, however, that any such amendment is subject to Section 15(c) of the Plan and may not impair any outstanding Award unless agreed to in writing by the Awardee;

 

(ix)           to allow Awardees to satisfy withholding tax obligations by electing to have the Company withhold from the Shares to be issued upon exercise of an Award that number of Shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount required to be withheld. The Fair Market Value of the Shares to be withheld shall be determined on the date that the amount of tax to be withheld is to be determined. All elections by an Awardee to have Shares withheld for this purpose shall be made in such form and under such conditions as the Administrator may deem necessary or advisable;

 

(x)            to authorize conversion or substitution under the Plan of any or all outstanding stock options or outstanding stock appreciation rights held by service providers of an entity acquired by the Company (the “Conversion Options”). Any conversion or substitution shall be effective as of the close of the merger or acquisition. The Conversion Options may be Nonstatutory Stock Options or Incentive Stock Options, as determined by the Administrator; provided, however, that with respect to the conversion of stock appreciation rights in the acquired entity, the Conversion Options shall be Nonstatutory Stock Options. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator at the time of conversion or substitution, all Conversion Options shall have the same terms and conditions as Options generally granted by the Company under the Plan;

 

(xi)           to authorize any person to execute on behalf of the Company any instrument required to effect the grant of an Award previously granted by the Administrator;

 

(xii)          to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for administering the Plan and any Award granted hereunder.

 

(c)           Effect of Administrator’s Decision. The Administrator’s decisions, determinations and interpretations shall be final and binding on all Awardees.

 

5. ELIGIBILITY.

 

Awards may be granted to Participants, provided, however, that Incentive Stock Options may be granted only to Employees of the Company or any Subsidiary.

 

6. LIMITATIONS.

 

(a)           Each Option shall be designated in the Award Agreement as either an Incentive Stock Option or a Nonstatutory Stock Option. However, notwithstanding such designation, to the extent that the aggregate Fair Market Value of the Shares with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by the Awardee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and any Subsidiary) exceeds $100,000, such Options shall be treated as Nonstatutory Stock Options. For purposes of this Section 6(a), Incentive Stock Options shall be taken into account in the order in which they were granted. The Fair Market Value of the

 

5



 

Shares shall be determined as of the time the Option with respect to such Shares is granted.

 

(b)           For purposes of Incentive Stock Options, no leave of absence may exceed ninety (90) days, unless reemployment upon expiration of such leave is guaranteed by statute or contract. If reemployment upon expiration of a leave of absence approved by the Company is not so guaranteed, on the 91st day of such leave an Awardee’s employment with the Company shall be deemed terminated for Incentive Stock Option purposes and any Incentive Stock Option held by the Awardee shall cease to be treated as an Incentive Stock Option and shall be treated for tax purposes as a Nonstatutory Stock Option three (3) months thereafter.

 

(c)           No Participant shall have any claim or right to be granted an Award and the grant of any Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to continue in the employ of the Company, its Subsidiaries or Affiliates. Further, the Company, its Subsidiaries and Affiliates expressly reserve the right, at any time, to dismiss a Participant at any time without liability or any claim under the Plan, except as provided herein or in any Award Agreement entered into hereunder.

 

(d)           The following limitations shall apply to grants of Awards:

 

(i)            No Participant shall be granted, in any fiscal year of the Company, Options to purchase more than 10,000,000 Shares.

 

(ii)           In connection with his or her initial service, a Participant may be granted Options to purchase up to an additional 10,000,000 Shares which shall not count against the limit set forth in subsection (i) above.

 

(iii)          If an Option is cancelled in the same fiscal year of the Company in which it was granted (other than in connection with a transaction described in Section 14), the cancelled Option will be counted against the limits set forth in subsections (i) and (ii) above.

 

(iv)          The maximum aggregate number of Shares underlying Stock Awards that may be granted under this Plan is twenty million (20,000,000) Shares.

 

(v)           The maximum aggregate number of Shares underlying Non-Statutory Stock Options with an exercise price of less than Fair Market Value on the Grant Date that may be granted under Section 9(a)(ii) of this Plan is thirty million (30,000,000) Shares.

 

(vi)          The foregoing limitations shall be adjusted proportionately in connection with any change in the Company’s capitalization as described in Section 14.

 

7. TERM OF PLAN.

 

Subject to Section 20 of the Plan, the Plan shall become effective upon its adoption by the Board. It shall continue in effect for a term of ten (10) years from the later of the date the Plan or any amendment to add shares to the Plan is adopted by the Board unless terminated earlier under Section 15 of the Plan.

 

6



 

8. TERM OF AWARD.

 

The term of each Award shall be determined by the Administrator and stated in the Award Agreement. In the case of an Option, the term shall be ten (10) years from the Grant Date or such shorter term as may be provided in the Award Agreement; provided that the term may be 10 1/2 years in certain jurisdictions outside the United States as determined by the Administrator.

 

9. OPTION EXERCISE PRICE AND CONSIDERATION.

 

(a)           Exercise Price. The per share exercise price for the Shares to be issued pursuant to exercise of an Option shall be determined by the Administrator, subject to the following:

 

(i)            In the case of an Incentive Stock Option the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the Grant Date.

 

(ii)           In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than seventy-five percent (75%) of the Fair Market Value per Share on the Grant Date. In the case of a Nonstatutory Stock Option intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the per Share exercise price shall be no less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the Grant Date.

 

(iii)          Notwithstanding the foregoing, at the Administrator’s discretion, Conversion Options (as defined in Section 4(b)(x)) may be granted with a per Share exercise price of less than 100% of the Fair Market Value per Share on the Grant Date and shall not be subject to the provisions of Section 6(d)(v) above.

 

(iv)          Other than in connection with a change in the Company’s capitalization (as described in Section 14(a)), Options may not be repriced, replaced, regranted through cancellation or modified without shareowner approval if the effect of such repricing, replacement, regrant or modification would be to reduce the exercise price of such Incentive Stock Options or Nonstatutory Stock Options.

 

(b)           Vesting Period and Exercise Dates. At the time an Option is granted, the Administrator shall fix the period within which the Option may be exercised and shall determine any conditions that must be satisfied before the Option may be exercised.

 

(c)           Form of Consideration. The Administrator shall determine the acceptable form of consideration for exercising an Option, including the method of payment. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the Administrator shall determine the acceptable form of consideration at the Grant Date. Acceptable forms of consideration may include:

 

(i)            cash;

 

7



 

(ii)           check or wire transfer (denominated in U.S. Dollars);

 

(iii)          other Shares which (A) in the case of Shares acquired upon exercise of an Option, have been owned by the Awardee for more than six months on the date of surrender, and (B) have a Fair Market Value on the date of surrender equal to the aggregate exercise price of the Shares as to which said Option shall be exercised;

 

(iv)          consideration received by the Company under a cashless exercise program implemented by the Company in connection with the Plan;

 

(v)           any combination of the foregoing methods of payment; or

 

(vi)          such other consideration and method of payment for the issuance of Shares to the extent permitted by Applicable Laws.

 

10. EXERCISE OF OPTION.

 

(a)           Procedure for Exercise; Rights as a Shareowner. Any Option granted hereunder shall be exercisable according to the terms of the Plan and at such times and under such conditions as determined by the Administrator and set forth in the respective Award Agreement. No Option may be exercised during any leave of absence other than an approved personal or medical leave with an employment guarantee upon return. An Option shall continue to vest during any authorized leave of absence and such Option may be exercised to the extent vested upon the Awardee’s return to active employment status. An Option may not be exercised for a fraction of a Share.

 

An Option shall be deemed exercised when the Company receives (i) written or electronic notice of exercise (in accordance with the Award Agreement) from the person entitled to exercise the Option; (ii) full payment for the Shares with respect to which the related Option is exercised; and (iii) with respect to Nonstatutory Stock Options, payment of all applicable withholding taxes due upon such exercise.

 

Shares issued upon exercise of an Option shall be issued in the name of the Awardee or, if requested by the Awardee, in the name of the Awardee and his or her spouse. Until the Shares are issued (as evidenced by the appropriate entry on the books of the Company or of a duly authorized transfer agent of the Company), no right to vote or receive dividends or any other rights as a shareowner shall exist with respect to the Shares subject to an Option, notwithstanding the exercise of the Option. The Company shall issue (or cause to be issued) such Shares promptly after the Option is exercised. No adjustment will be made for a dividend or other right for which the record date is prior to the date the Shares are issued, except as provided in Section 14 of the Plan.

 

Exercising an Option in any manner shall decrease the number of Shares thereafter available, both for purposes of the Plan and for sale under the Option, by the number of Shares as to which the Option is exercised.

 

8



 

(b)           Termination of Employment. Unless otherwise provided for by the Administrator in the Award Agreement, if an Awardee ceases to be an Employee, other than as a result of circumstances described in Sections 10(c), (d), (e) and (f) below, the Awardee’s Option, whether vested or unvested, shall terminate immediately upon the Awardee’s termination. On the date of the Awardee’s termination of employment, the Shares covered by the unvested portion of his or her Option shall revert to the Plan. If, prior to termination of employment, the Awardee does not exercise his or her vested Option, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

 

(c)           Disability or Retirement of Awardee. Unless otherwise provided for by the Administrator in the Award Agreement, if an Awardee ceases to be an Employee as a result of the Awardee’s total and permanent disability or retirement due to age, in accordance with the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ retirement policy, all unvested Options shall immediately vest and the Awardee may exercise his or her Option within three (3) years of the date of such disability or retirement for a Nonstatutory Stock Option; within three (3) months of the date of such disability or retirement for an Incentive Stock Option; or if earlier, the expiration of the term of such Option. If the Awardee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

 

(d)           Death of Awardee. Unless otherwise provided for by the Administrator in the Award Agreement, if an Awardee dies while an Employee, all unvested Options shall immediately vest and all Options may be exercised for one (1) year following the Awardee’s death. The Option may be exercised by the beneficiary designated by the Awardee (as provided in Section 16), the executor or administrator of the Awardee’s estate or, if none, by the person(s) entitled to exercise the Option under the Awardee’s will or the laws of descent or distribution. If the Option is not so exercised within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

 

(e)           Voluntary Severance Incentive Program. If an Awardee ceases to be an Employee as a result of participation in the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ voluntary severance incentive program approved by the Board or Executive Committee, all unvested Options shall immediately vest and all outstanding Options shall be exercisable for three (3) months following the Awardee’s termination (or such other period of time as provided for by the Administrator) or, if earlier, the expiration of the term of such Option. If, after termination, of Awardee’s employment the Awardee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified herein, the Option shall terminate, and the Shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

 

(f)            Divestiture. If an Employee ceases to be a Participant because of a divestiture of the Company, the Administrator may, in its sole discretion, make such Employee’s outstanding Options fully vested and exercisable and provide that such Options remain exercisable for a period of time to be determined by the Administrator. The determination of whether a divestiture will occur shall be made by the Administrator in its sole discretion. If, after the close of the divestiture, the Awardee does not exercise his or her Option within the time specified therein, the Option shall terminate and the shares covered by such Option shall revert to the Plan.

 

9



 

(g)           Buyout Provisions. At any time, the Administrator may, but shall not be required to, authorize the Company to offer to buy out for a payment in cash or Shares an Award previously granted based on such terms and conditions as the Administrator shall establish and communicate to the Awardee in connection with such offer.

 

11. STOCK AWARDS.

 

(a)           General. Stock Awards may be issued either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other Awards granted under the Plan. After the Administrator determines that it will offer a Stock Award under the Plan, it shall advise the Awardee in writing or electronically, by means of an Award Agreement, of the terms, conditions and restrictions related to the offer, including the number of Shares that the Awardee shall be entitled to receive or purchase, the price to be paid, if any, and, if applicable, the time within which the Awardee must accept such offer. The offer shall be accepted by execution of an Award Agreement in the form determined by the Administrator. The Administrator will require that all shares subject to a right of repurchase or forfeiture be held in escrow until such repurchase right or risk of forfeiture lapses.

 

(b)           Forfeiture. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, the Award Agreement shall provide for the forfeiture of the unvested Restricted Stock upon the Awardee ceasing to be an Employee except as provided below in Sections 11(c), (d) and (e). To the extent that the Awardee purchased the Restricted Stock, the Company shall have a right to repurchase the unvested Restricted Stock at the original price paid by the Awardee upon Awardee ceasing to be a Participant for any reason, except as provided below in Sections 11(c), (d) and (e).

 

(c)           Disability or Retirement of Awardee. Unless otherwise provided for by the Administrator in the Award Agreement, if an Awardee ceases to be an Employee as a result of the Awardee’s total and permanent disability or retirement due to age, in accordance with the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ retirement policy, the Award shall continue to vest, provided the following conditions are met:

 

(i)            The Awardee shall not render services for any organization or engage directly or indirectly in any business which, in the opinion of the Administrator, competes with, or is in conflict with the interest of, the Company. The Awardee shall be free, however, to purchase as an investment or otherwise stock or other securities of such organizations as long as they are listed upon a recognized securities exchange or traded over-the-counter, or as long as such investment does not represent a substantial investment to the Awardee or a significant (greater than 10%) interest in the particular organization. For the purposes of this subsection, a company (other than a Subsidiary) which is engaged in the business of producing, leasing or selling products or providing services of the type now or at any time hereafter made or provided by the Company shall be deemed to compete with the Company;

 

(ii)           The Awardee shall not, without prior written authorization from the Company, use in other than the Company’s business, any confidential

 

10



 

information or material relating to the business of the Company, either during or after employment with the Company;

 

(iii)          The Awardee shall disclose promptly and assign to the Company all right, title and interest in any invention or idea, patentable or not, made or conceived by the Awardee during employment by the Company, relating in any manner to the actual or anticipated business, research or development work of the Company and shall do anything reasonably necessary to enable the Company to secure a patent where appropriate in the United States and in foreign countries; and

 

(iv)          An Awardee retiring due to age shall render, as a Consultant and not as an Employee, such advisory or consultative services to the Company as shall be reasonably requested by the Board or the Executive Committee in writing from time to time, consistent with the state of the retired Awardee’s health and any employment or other activities in which such Awardee may be engaged. For purposes of this Plan, the Awardee shall not be required to devote a major portion of time to such services and shall be entitled to reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the performance of such services.

 

(d)           Death of Awardee. Unless otherwise provided for by the Administrator in the Award Agreement, if an Awardee dies while an Employee, the Stock Award shall immediately vest and all forfeiture provisions and repurchase rights shall lapse as to a prorated number of shares determined by dividing the number of whole months since the Grant Date by the number of whole months between the Grant Date and the date that the Stock Award would have fully vested (as provided for in the Award Agreement). The vested portion of the Stock Award shall be delivered to the beneficiary designated by the Awardee (as provided in Section 16), the executor or administrator of the Awardee’s estate or, if none, by the person(s) entitled to receive the vested Stock Award under the Awardee’s will or the laws of descent or distribution.

 

(e)           Voluntary Severance Incentive Program. If an Awardee ceases to be an Employee as a result of participation in the Company’s or its Subsidiaries’ voluntary severance incentive program approved by the Board or Executive Committee, the Stock Award shall immediately vest and all forfeiture provisions and repurchase rights shall lapse as to a prorated number of shares determined by dividing the number of whole years since the Grant Date by the number of whole years between the Grant Date and the date that the Stock Award would have fully vested (as provided for in the Award Agreement).

 

(f)            Rights as a Shareowner. Unless otherwise provided for by the Administrator, once the Stock Award is accepted, the Awardee shall have the rights equivalent to those of a shareowner, and shall be a shareowner when his or her acceptance of the Stock Award is entered upon the records of the duly authorized transfer agent of the Company.

 

11



 

12. CASH AWARDS.

 

Cash Awards may be granted either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with other Awards granted under the Plan. After the Administrator determines that it will offer a Cash Award, it shall advise the Awardee in writing or electronically, by means of an Award Agreement, of the terms, conditions and restrictions related to the Cash Award.

 

13. NON-TRANSFERABILITY OF AWARDS.

 

Unless determined otherwise by the Administrator, an Award may not be sold, pledged, assigned, hypothecated, transferred, or disposed of in any manner other than by beneficiary designation, will or by the laws of descent or distribution and may be exercised, during the lifetime of the Awardee, only by the Awardee. If the Administrator makes an Award transferable, such Award shall contain such additional terms and conditions as the Administrator deems appropriate.

 

14.          ADJUSTMENTS UPON CHANGES IN CAPITALIZATION, DISSOLUTION, MERGER OR ASSET SALE.

 

(a)           Changes in Capitalization. Subject to any required action by the shareowners of the Company, the number and kind of shares of Common Stock covered by each outstanding Award, and the number and kind of shares of Common Stock which have been authorized for issuance under the Plan but as to which no Awards have yet been granted or which have been returned to the Plan upon cancellation or expiration of an Award, as well as the price per share of Common Stock covered by each such outstanding Award, shall be proportionately adjusted for any increase or decrease in the number or kind of issued shares of Common Stock resulting from a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, combination or reclassification of the Common Stock, or any other increase or decrease in the number of issued shares of Common Stock effected without receipt of consideration by the Company; provided, however, that conversion of any convertible securities of the Company shall not be deemed to have been “effected without receipt of consideration.” Such adjustment shall be made by the Board, whose determination in that respect shall be final, binding and conclusive. Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares of Common Stock subject to an Award.

 

(b)           Dissolution or Liquidation. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company, the Administrator shall notify each Awardee as soon as practicable prior to the effective date of such proposed transaction. The Administrator in its discretion may provide for an Option to be fully vested and exercisable until ten (10) days prior to such transaction. In addition, the Administrator may provide that any restrictions on any Award shall lapse prior to the transaction, provided the proposed dissolution or liquidation takes place at the time and in the manner contemplated. To the extent it has not been previously exercised, an Award will terminate immediately prior to the consummation of such proposed transaction.

 

(c)           Merger or Asset Sale. In the event there is a change of control of the Company, as determined by the Board, the Board may, in its discretion, (A) provide for the assumption or substitution of, or adjustment to, each outstanding Award; (B) accelerate the vesting of Options and terminate any restrictions on Cash

 

12



 

Awards or Stock Awards; and (C) provide for the cancellation of Awards for a cash payment to the Awardee.

 

15. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF THE PLAN.

 

(a)           Amendment and Termination. The Board may at any time amend, alter, suspend or terminate the Plan.

 

(b)           Shareowner Approval. The Company shall obtain shareowner approval of any Plan amendment to the extent necessary and desirable to comply with Applicable Laws.

 

(c)           Effect of Amendment or Termination. No amendment, alteration, suspension or termination of the Plan shall impair the rights of any Award, unless mutually agreed otherwise between the Awardee and the Administrator, which agreement must be in writing and signed by the Awardee and the Company. Termination of the Plan shall not affect the Administrator’s ability to exercise the powers granted to it hereunder with respect to Awards granted under the Plan prior to the date of such termination.

 

16. DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY.

 

(a)           An Awardee may file a written designation of a beneficiary who is to receive the Awardee’s rights pursuant to Awardee’s Award or the Awardee may include his or her Awards in an omnibus beneficiary designation for all benefits under the Plan. To the extent that Awardee has completed a designation of beneficiary while employed with Hewlett-Packard Company, such beneficiary designation shall remain in effect with respect to any Award hereunder until changed by the Awardee.

 

(b)           Such designation of beneficiary may be changed by the Awardee at any time by written notice. In the event of the death of an Awardee and in the absence of a beneficiary validly designated under the Plan who is living at the time of such Awardee’s death, the Company shall allow the executor or administrator of the estate of the Awardee to exercise the Award, or if no such executor or administrator has been appointed (to the knowledge of the Company), the Company, in its discretion, may allow the spouse or one or more dependents or relatives of the Awardee to exercise the Award.

 

17. LEGAL COMPLIANCE.

 

Shares shall not be issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option or Stock Award unless the exercise of such Option or Stock Award and the issuance and delivery of such Shares shall comply with Applicable Laws and shall be further subject to the approval of counsel for the Company with respect to such compliance.

 

18. INABILITY TO OBTAIN AUTHORITY.

 

To the extent the Company is unable to or the Administrator deems it infeasible to obtain authority from any regulatory body having jurisdiction, which authority is deemed by the Company’s counsel to be necessary to the lawful issuance and sale of any Shares hereunder, the

 

13



 

Company shall be relieved of any liability with respect to the failure to issue or sell such Shares as to which such requisite authority shall not have been obtained.

 

19. RESERVATION OF SHARES.

 

The Company, during the term of this Plan, will at all times reserve and keep available such number of Shares as shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of the Plan.

 

20. SHAREOWNER APPROVAL.

 

The Plan shall be subject to approval by the shareowners of the Company within twelve (12) months of the date the Plan is adopted. Such shareowner approval shall be obtained in the manner and to the degree required under Applicable Laws.

 

21. NOTICE.

 

Any written notice to the Company required by any provisions of this Plan shall be addressed to the Secretary of the Company and shall be effective when received.

 

22. GOVERNING LAW.

 

This Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto shall be governed by the substantive laws, but not the choice of law rules, of the state of Delaware.

 

23. UNFUNDED PLAN.

 

Insofar as it provides for Awards, the Plan shall be unfunded. Although bookkeeping accounts may be established with respect to Participants who are granted Awards of Shares under this Plan, any such accounts will be used merely as a bookkeeping convenience. Except for the holding of Restricted Stock in escrow pursuant to Section 11, the Company shall not be required to segregate any assets which may at any time be represented by Awards, nor shall this Plan be construed as providing for such segregation, nor shall the Company nor the Administrator be deemed to be a trustee of stock or cash to be awarded under the Plan. Any liability of the Company to any Awardee with respect to an Award shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations which may be created by the Plan; no such obligation of the Company shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge or other encumbrance on any property of the Company. Neither the Company nor the Administrator shall be required to give any security or bond for the performance of any obligation which may be created by this Plan.

HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY

1995 INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN

 

PART 1. PLAN ADMINISTRATION AND ELIGIBILITY

 

I. PURPOSE

 

The purpose of this 1995 Incentive Stock Plan (the “Plan”) of Hewlett-Packard Company (“HP” or the “Company”) is to encourage ownership in the Company by key personnel whose long-term employment is considered essential to the Company’s continued progress and thus to provide them with a further incentive to continue in the employ of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates. (Each of the Company and all such subsidiaries and affiliates is referred to hereinafter as a “Participating Company.”)

 

II. ADMINISTRATION

 

The Board of Directors (the “Board) of the Company or any committee (the “Committee”) of the Board that will satisfy Rule 16b-3 of the Exchange Act, and any regulations promulgated thereunder, as from time to time in effect, including any successor rule (“Rule 16b-3), shall supervise and administer the Plan. The Committee shall consist solely of two or more non-employee directors of the Company, who shall be appointed by the Board. A member of the Board shall be deemed to be a “non-employee director” only if he satisfies such requirements as the Securities and Exchange Commission may establish for non-employee directors under Rule 16b-3. Members of the Board receive no additional compensation for their services in connection with the administration of the Plan.

 

The Board or the Committee may adopt such rules or guidelines as it deems appropriate to implement the Plan. All questions of interpretation of the Plan or of any shares issued under it shall be determined by the Board or the Committee and such determination shall be final and binding upon all persons having an interest in the Plan. Any or all powers and discretion vested in the Board or the Committee under this Plan may be exercised by any subcommittee so authorized by the Board or the Committee and satisfying the requirements of Rule 16b-3 for employees subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, the Board or the Committee may delegate to the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors the power to approve stock options and stock awards to employees not subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

 

1



 

Delegation of Authority for the Day-to-Day Administration of the Plan. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or applicable rules of a stock exchange, the Board or any of its committees as shall be administering the Plan may delegate to one or more individuals the day-to-day administration of the Plan and any of the functions assigned to it in this Plan. The delegation may be revoked at any time.

 

III. PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN

 

Key employees of the Company, including officers, and directors of the Company, who are also employed by a Participating Company, shall be eligible to participate in the Plan.

 

IV. STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

 

The maximum number of shares that may be awarded under the Plan shall be 128,000,000 shares of the Company’s $0.01 par value Common Stock (“Common Stock”). If a class of Preferred Stock is created and authorized by the Company’s Amended Certificate of Incorporation, Preferred Stock may be used in lieu of Common Stock for Plan grants. The limitation on the number of shares that may be awarded under the Plan shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section XXII of the Plan.

 

The grant of a stock award not pursuant to an option under the Plan (“Stock Award”) shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee shall determine to be appropriate, including but not limited to restrictions on resale, repurchase provisions, special vesting requirements or forfeiture provisions. The grant and exercise of a stock option shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may determine to be appropriate in accordance with Section VII of the Plan.

 

The Committee may authorize conversion, assumption or substitution under the Plan of any or all outstanding stock options or other stock-based awards (“Conversion Options”) held by employees of an entity (the “Acquired Company”) with whom HP or one of HP’s subsidiaries engages in an Acquisition. For purposes of this paragraph, an “Acquisition” shall mean (1) a dissolution or liquidation of all or substantially all of the assets of the Acquired Company, (2) a purchase of assets from the Acquired Company, whether or not the purchased assets represent substantially all of the assets of the Acquired Company or one of its subsidiaries, (3) a reverse merger in which the Acquired Company is the surviving corporation but the shares of the Acquired Company’s voting stock outstanding immediately preceding the merger are converted by virtue of the merger into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash or otherwise, or (4) any other capital reorganization or purchase in which more than fifty percent (50%) of the shares of the Acquired Company entitled to vote are exchanged. Any conversion, assumption or substitution will be effective on the closing date of the Acquisition. The Conversion Options may be nonstatutory options or incentive stock options entitled to special tax treatment under Section 422 of the Code (“ISOs”). Notwithstanding any other provision of this Plan, the Committee may specify the Conversion Options’ terms and conditions, which may be different from those applicable to other options or awards granted under the Plan and may replicate the material terms and conditions of the Conversion Options.

 

The Committee may authorize the conversion under the Plan of any or all outstanding stock appreciation rights held by employees of a Participating Company. Such converted options are referred to as “FSAR Conversion Options”, and shall be nonstatutory options. All FSAR Conversion Options shall have the same terms and conditions as options granted under the Plan.

 

2



 

If any outstanding option under the Plan for any reason expires or is terminated without having been exercised in full, or if any Stock Awards are forfeited, the forfeited shares or shares allocable to the unexercised portion of such option shall again become available for grant pursuant to the Plan.

 

PART 2. OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

 

V. INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS

 

Any option granted under the Plan may be designated by the Committee as a non-statutory option or as an ISO.

 

No option intended to qualify as an ISO may be granted under the Plan if such grant, together with any applicable prior grants, would exceed any maximum established under the Internal Revenue Code for ISOs that may be granted to a single employee. Should it be determined that any ISO granted under the Plan exceeds such maximum, the ISO shall be null and void to the extent, but only to the extent, of such excess. Section 422(d)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code presently provides that with respect to options granted after December 31, 1986 the aggregate fair market value (determined as of the time the ISO is granted) of the stock with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by an employee in any calendar year under all incentive stock option plans of the Company shall not exceed $100,000.

 

Nothing in this section shall be deemed to prevent the grant of options in excess of the maximum established by the Internal Revenue Code where such excess amount is treated as a nonstatutory option not entitled to special tax treatment under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code.

 

VI. TERMS, CONDITIONS AND FORM OF OPTIONS

 

Each option granted under this Plan shall be authorized by action of the Committee and shall be evidenced by a written agreement in such form as the Committee shall from time to time approve, which agreements shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

A. Options Non-transferable

 

(1) General

 

Except as provided in subsection VI.A(2) below, each option granted under the Plan by its terms shall not be transferable by the optionee otherwise than by will, or by the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercised during the lifetime of the optionee only by him. No option or interest therein may be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the optionee during his lifetime, whether by operation of law or otherwise, or be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process.

 

(2) Transferability to Certain Vehicles

 

The Committee, in its sole discretion, may establish, as  permitted by applicable law, rules and conditions under which an  optionee may transfer an option to those types of trusts or other  vehicles that the Committee may determine to be eligible for  transfer.

 

3



 

B. Period of Option. The Committee may specify, at the time of grant, a vesting schedule of any option. If no vesting schedule is specified, no option may be exercised before the first anniversary of the date upon which it was granted, nor may it be exercised as to more than one-fourth of the number of shares covered thereby before the second anniversary of such date, nor as to more than one-half of the number of shares covered thereby before the third anniversary of such date, nor as to more than three-fourths of the number of shares covered thereby before the fourth anniversary of such date. Any option granted pursuant to the Plan shall become exercisable in full upon the retirement of the optionee because of age or total and permanent disability or upon the death of the optionee. Except as provided in this subsection B, no option shall be exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the date upon which such option is granted. However, the Committee may, at the time an option is granted to any employee who is not subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, specify a different term for the option up to a maximum term of 10.5 years. Each option shall be subject to termination before its date of expiration as hereinafter provided.

 

C. Exercise of Options. Options may be exercised only by written notice to the Company at its head office accompanied by payment in U.S. dollars of the full consideration for the shares as to which they are exercised, and, with respect to nonstatutory options, by payment of all applicable U.S. withholding taxes upon such exercise. In addition, if and to the extent authorized by the Committee, optionees may make all or any portion of any payment due to the Company upon exercise of an option by delivery of any property (including securities of the Company) other than cash, as long as such property constitutes valid consideration for the stock under applicable law.

 

The Committee may, but need not, permit the payment of required tax withholding due upon exercise of an option by the withholding of shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of the option. Option shares withheld in payment of such taxes shall be valued at the fair market value of the stock on the date of exercise. Fair market value shall mean, unless the Committee deems otherwise, as of any date, the closing sales price for such Common Stock as of such date (or if no sales were reported on such date, the closing sales price on the last preceding day on which a sale was made) as reported in such source as the Committee deems reliable. The Committee may impose special restrictions on the use of option shares as payment for withholding taxes by individuals subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

 

No option may be exercised while the optionee is on any leave of absence from the Company, other than an approved personal or medical leave having an employment guaranty. Options will continue to vest during any authorized leave of absence, and may be exercised to the extent permitted by subsection VI.B above upon the optionee’s return to an active employment status.

 

D. Termination of Options

 

(1) Termination of Employment

 

All rights of an employee in an option, to the extent that it has not been exercised, shall terminate upon the termination of his employment for any reason.

 

(2) Retirement and Death

 

In the event of an employee’s retirement due to age or total and permanent disability, all rights of an employee in an option, to the extent that it has not been exercised, shall terminate three years from the date thereof with respect to nonstatutory options and three months from the retirement date with respect to ISOs or upon expiration of the option, whichever shall first occur. In the

 

4



 

event of the death of the employee, the option shall terminate upon failure of his designated representative to exercise the option in accordance with the time period provided in subsection VI(E) below.

 

(3) Leave of Absence

 

The Committee may, but shall not be required to, authorize the continuation of options held by employees who, at the Company’s request or with the Company’s consent, are terminating or taking a leave of absence from the Company to accept employment with not-for-profit or for-profit corporations, governmental agencies, industry associations or other organizations in connection with the Company’s investments or strategic alliances. Such approval must be obtained from the Committee prior to termination of employment in order to prevent the immediate termination of options. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, delegate its authority under this subsection to the Executive Committee.

 

(4) Divestiture

 

If an employee terminates because of a divestiture by the Company, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, amend any option previously granted to such employee pursuant to the Plan such that the option becomes exercisable in full and/or permits the employee to exercise such option which has not already been exercised until the earlier of: (i) three months from the closing date of the divestiture, or such longer date, if any, which the Committee may authorize, or (ii) the expiration of the option. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, delegate its authority under this subsection to the Executive Committee.

 

(5) Voluntary Severance Program

 

If an employee terminates as a result of participation in a  Participating Company voluntary severance program approved by the  Executive Committee, any option granted pursuant to the Plan shall become exercisable in full, and the employee may exercise any such option that has not already been exercised until the earlier of (i) three months from the employee’s termination date, or (ii) the expiration of the option.

 

E. Exercise by Representative Following Death of Employee. The employee, by written notice to the Company, may designate one or more persons (and from time to time change such designation) including his legal representative, who, by reason of his death, shall acquire the right to exercise all or a portion of the option. If the person or persons so designated wish to exercise any portion of the option, they must do so within one year after the death of the employee or retired employee, as the case may be. All rights of the representative(s) in the option shall terminate upon failure to exercise the option within the time period set forth in this subsection VI.E. Any exercise by a representative shall be subject to the provisions of this Plan.

 

VII. MODIFICATION, EXTENSION AND RENEWAL OF OPTIONS

 

The Committee shall have the power to modify, extend or renew outstanding options and authorize the grant of new options in substitution therefor, provided that any such action may not have the effect of altering or impairing any rights or obligations of any option previously granted without the consent of the optionee.

 

The Committee shall have the power to lower the exercise price of an outstanding option not intended to qualify as an ISO under the Internal Revenue Code; provided, however, that the

 

5



 

exercise price per share may not be reduced below 75% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date the action is taken to reduce the exercise price. Such fair market value shall mean, unless the Committee deems otherwise, as of any date, the closing sales price for such Common Stock as of such date (or if no sales were reported on such date, the closing sales price on the last preceding day on which a sale was made) as reported in such source as the Committee deems reliable.

 

VIII. OPTION PRICE

 

The option price per share for the shares covered by each nonstatutory option shall be not less than 75% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the date the option is granted. The option price per share for ISOs shall be not less than the fair market value on the option grant date. Such fair market value shall mean, unless the Committee deems otherwise, as of any date, the closing sales price for such Common Stock as of such date (or if no sales were reported on such date, the closing sales price on the last preceding day on which a sale was made) as reported in such source as the Committee deems reliable. The option price per share for Conversion Options shall be determined by the Committee at the time of the related merger or acquisition.

 

IX. LOANS FOR EXERCISE OF OPTIONS

 

Any option agreement under this Plan entered into with an employee may, but need not, provide that the Company shall lend to the employee who holds the option the funds for any exercise of his option. Any such loans made to individuals subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be at a rate of interest adequate to avoid imputation of income under Sections 483 and 7872 of the Internal Revenue Code and shall be for a term not to exceed 15 months from the date of exercise of the related option. Any loan by the Company to fund the exercise of an option shall be subject to such other terms and conditions as shall be set forth in the option agreement, which terms and conditions shall be determined by the Committee at the time of the grant of the option. Loans may or may not be secured by stock issued pursuant to such option exercises, at the Committee’s discretion.

 

X. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

 

A. General. This section shall apply to employees who hold options heretofore or hereafter granted under the Plan (“Options”). The Committee may, but shall not be required to, grant to such employees stock appreciation rights as herein provided with respect to not more than the number of shares (from time to time) subject to the Options held by such employees. The stock appreciation rights shall be integral parts of the respective Options and shall have no existence apart therefrom.

 

A stock appreciation right shall be the right of the holder thereof to elect to surrender part or all of any Option that is wholly exercisable, or of any exercisable portion of an Option that is partially exercisable, and receive in exchange therefore cash or shares of Common Stock (valued at current fair market value) or a combination thereof. Such cash or shares or combination shall have an aggregate value (“Appreciation”) equal to the excess of the current fair market value of one share over the Option price of one share specified in such Option multiplied by the number of shares subject to such Option or the portion thereof that is surrendered. The current fair market value of a share shall mean, unless the Committee deems otherwise, as of any date, the closing sales price for such Common Stock as of such date (or if no sales were reported on such date, the closing sales price on the last preceding day on which a sale was made) as reported in such source as the

 

6



 

Committee deems reliable. No fractional share shall be issued on the exercise of a stock appreciation right, and settlement therefore shall be made in cash.

 

Each stock appreciation right granted under this Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: (1) each stock appreciation right shall be evidenced by a written agreement between the Company and the holder in such form as the Committee shall authorize; (2) each stock appreciation right granted under the Plan by its terms shall not be transferable by the holder otherwise than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercised during the lifetime of the holder only by him, and no stock appreciation right or interest therein may be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the holder during his lifetime, whether by operation of law or otherwise, or be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process; (3) all rights of an employee in a stock appreciation right, to the extent that it has not been exercised, shall terminate upon the death of the employee or the termination of his employment for any reason other than retirement because of age or total and permanent disability, and in case of such retirement three years from the date thereof with respect to nonstatutory Options and three months from the date thereof with respect to Options intended to qualify as ISOs or upon expiration of the Option, whichever shall first occur; provided, however, that the employee, by written notice to the Company, may designate one or more persons (and from time to time change such designation), including his legal representative, who, by reason of his death, shall acquire the right to exercise all or a portion of the rights accrued under the stock appreciation right as of the date of his death. If the person or persons so designated wish to exercise any portion of the stock appreciation right, they must do so within one year after the death of the employee or retired employee, as the case may be, and such exercise shall be subject to the provisions of this Plan; and (4) the life of stock appreciation rights shall be coterminous with the life of the Options.

 

The holder of a stock appreciation right may exercise the same by (1) filing with the Secretary of the Company a written election, which election shall be delivered by the Secretary to the Committee, specifying (a) the Option or portion thereof to be surrendered, and (b) the percentage of the Appreciation that he desires to receive in cash, if any; and (2) surrendering such Option for cancellation or partial cancellation, as the case may be; provided, however, that any election that specifies that the holder of a stock appreciation right desires to receive any portion of the Appreciation in cash shall be of no force or effect unless and until the Committee shall have consented to such election.

 

Upon exercise of a stock appreciation right, the number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan shall be reduced by the number of shares covered by the Option, or the portion thereof, which is surrendered in connection with such exercise.

 

Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to give any eligible employee any right to be granted a stock appreciation right. Neither the Plan nor the granting of a stock appreciation right nor any other action taken pursuant to the Plan shall constitute or be evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or implied, that the Company will employ the holder of a stock appreciation right for any period of time or in any position or at any particular rate of compensation. The holder of a stock appreciation right shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to the shares covered by his stock appreciation right until the date of issuance to him of a stock certificate therefor, and, except as otherwise specifically provided in the stock option agreement for the Options, no adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such certificate is issued.

 

The Board or the Committee shall have the sole discretion to consent to approve or disapprove, in whole or in part, any election to receive any portion of the Appreciation in cash.

 

7



 

B. ADDITIONAL RESTRICTIONS APPLICABLE TO SECTION 16 EMPLOYEES. No stock appreciation right or related Option may be exercised during the first six months of its term, except in the event of death or total and permanent disability of the holder occurring prior to the expiration of this six-month period.

 

Stock appreciation rights granted to individuals subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act must comply with any applicable provisions of Rule 16b-3. These rights shall contain such additional conditions or restrictions as may be required under this rule (or any successor rule) to qualify for the maximum exemption from Section 16 of the Exchange Act with respect to Plan transactions.

 

XI. INDIVIDUAL GRANT LIMITATION

 

The Plan prohibits a single participant from receiving grants of options or stock appreciation rights during any single fiscal year of the Company for more than an aggregate of 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided in Section XXII of the Plan). The amount of any payment of stock appreciation rights in cash shall be based upon the fair market value of Common Stock on the date of exercise. Fair market value shall mean, unless the Committee deems otherwise, as of any date, the closing sales price for such Common Stock as of such date (or if no sales were reported on such date, the closing sales price on the last preceding day on which a sale was made) as reported in such source as the Committee deems reliable.

 

PART 3. STOCK AND CASH AWARDS

 

XII. STOCK AND CASH AWARD DETERMINATION

 

The Committee may grant an eligible employee Stock Awards or awards of cash (“Cash Awards”) at such times and in such amounts as the Committee may designate which in its opinion fully reflect the performance level and potential of such employee. The Committee shall designate whether such awards are payable in Common Stock, cash, or a combination thereof. Such awards shall be made in accordance with such guidelines as the Committee may from time to time adopt. Stock Awards and Cash Awards shall be independent of any grant of an option under this Plan and shall be made subject to such restrictions as the Committee may determine to be appropriate.

 

XIII. PAYMENT OF STOCK OR CASH AWARDS

 

A. No employee shall have the right to receive payment of any Stock Award or Cash Award until notified of the amount of such award, in writing, by the Committee or its authorized delegate.

 

B. Payment of Cash Awards shall be made in a lump sum or in annual installments over such period as the Committee may designate, which period shall not exceed five years, provided that the Committee may from time to time designate minimum installment amounts.

 

C. After an award of Common Stock subject to restrictions (“Restricted Stock”), such shares will be deposited in certificate or book entry form in escrow with the Company’s Secretary. The employee shall retain all rights in the Restricted Stock while it is held in escrow including but not limited to voting rights and the right to receive dividends, except that the employee shall not have

 

8



 

the right to transfer or assign such shares until all restrictions pertaining to such shares are terminated, at which time the applicable stock certificates shall be released from escrow and delivered to the employee by the Company’s Secretary.

 

D. The Committee may permit, on such terms as it deems appropriate, use of Restricted Stock as partial or full payment upon exercise of a stock option under the Company’s incentive stock option or compensation plans or this Plan. In the event shares of Restricted Stock are so tendered as consideration for the exercise of an option, a number of the shares issued upon the exercise of said option, equal to the number of shares of Restricted Stock used as consideration therefor, shall be subject to the same restrictions as the Restricted Stock so submitted plus any additional restrictions that may be imposed by the Committee.

 

XIV. TERMINATION OF RESTRICTIONS ON STOCK AWARDS

 

The Committee will establish the period or periods after which the restrictions on Restricted Stock will lapse.

 

The Committee may in its discretion permit an employee to elect to receive in lieu of shares of Restricted Stock, at the expiration of the restrictions, a cash payment equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date the restrictions lapse. The Committee may also permit the employee to elect to pay required tax withholding due upon the lapse of restrictions with part of the shares due the employee at such time. The shares cancelled in payment of required tax withholding shall be valued at the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date the restrictions lapse. Fair market value shall mean, unless the Committee deems otherwise, as of any date, the closing sales price for such Common Stock as of such date (or if no sales were reported on such date, the closing sales price on the last preceding day on which a sale was made) as reported in such source as the Committee deems reliable.

 

XV. RESTRICTIONS AND FORFEITURE OF STOCK AWARDS

 

The Company’s obligation to deliver stock held in escrow is subject to the condition that the employee remain an employee of the Company on active or authorized leave status or be under contract to provide services to the Company as provided in Section XVII hereof for the entire deferral and/or restriction period, including mandatory and optional deferrals. If the employee fails to meet this condition, the employee’s right to any such unpaid amounts or undelivered stock shall be forfeited. This provision may be waived by the Committee in exceptional circumstances, including the employee serving at the Company’s request or with the Company’s consent as an employee of a not-for-profit or for-profit corporation, a governmental agency, industry association or other similar organization in connection with the Company’s investments or strategic alliances. Unless the Committee provides otherwise, in the event an employee holding restricted shares ceases to be on active pay status during the restricted period for a period of more than six months, the restricted period shall be extended by a period of time equal to the length of the period of inactive status.

 

XVI. DEATH OF A PARTICIPATING EMPLOYEE HOLDING RESTRICTED STOCK

 

A. By written notice to the Company, an employee who has received a grant of Restricted Stock may designate one or more persons (and from time to time change such designation) who, by reason of his death, shall acquire the right to receive any vested but unpaid awards held by the employee at the time of his death. Such awards shall be paid to the designated representative at such time and in such manner as if the employee were living.

 

9



 

B. In the event of the death of an employee holding unvested restricted shares, the employee’s designated representative shall be entitled to receive a prorated number of shares determined by dividing the number of whole years lapsed since the grant date by the number of years in the restricted period and multiplying this ratio by the number of shares subject to the restricted stock award. Remaining unvested shares shall be forfeited unless additional payments are specifically authorized by the Committee.

 

C. If at the time of the employee’s death, there is no effective beneficiary designation as to all or some portion of the awards hereunder, such awards or such portion thereof shall be paid to or on the order of the legal representative of the employee’s estate. In the event of uncertainty as to the interpretation or effect of any notice of designation, the Committee’s decision with respect thereto shall be conclusive.

 

XVII. RETIREMENT OR DISABILITY OF EMPLOYEE HOLDING STOCK AWARD

 

In the event of total and permanent disability of an employee who has participated in the Plan, any unpaid but vested award shall be paid to the employee if legally competent or to a committee or other legally designated guardian or representative if the employee is legally incompetent.

 

At the time of grant of any Stock Award, the Committee may specify special conditions or terms covering the status of such Stock Award upon the retirement or total and permanent disability of the employee. If no provision is made, and if the employee retires due to age or is totally and permanently disabled but is still legally competent, the Company’s obligation to make any payment due thereafter under the Stock Award feature of the Plan is subject to the conditions that for the entire period of deferral or restriction, including mandatory and optional deferrals:

 

A. An employee retiring due to age shall render as an independent contractor and not as an employee such advisory or consultative services to the Company as shall be reasonably requested by the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) or the Executive Committee in writing from time to time, consistent with the state of the retired employee’s health and any employment or other activities in which such employee may be engaged. For purposes of this Plan, the employee shall not be required to devote a major portion of time to such services and shall be entitled to reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the performance of such services;

 

B. The employee shall not render services for any organization or engage directly or indirectly in any business which, in the opinion of the Committee, competes with, or is in conflict with the interest of, a Participating Company. The employee shall be free, however, to purchase, as an investment or otherwise, stock or other securities of such organizations as long as they are listed upon a recognized securities exchange or traded over-the-counter, or as long as such investment does not represent a substantial investment to the employee or a significant (greater than 10%) interest in the particular organization. For the purposes of this subsection XVII(B), any organization that is engaged in the business of producing, leasing or selling products or providing services of the type now or at any time hereafter made or provided by a Participating Company shall be deemed to compete with a Participating Company;

 

C. The employee shall not, without prior written authorization from the Company, disclose to anyone outside a Participating Company, or use in other than a Participating Company’s business, any confidential information   or material relating to the business of any Participating Company, either during or after employment with a Participating Company; and

 

10



 

D. The employee shall disclose promptly and assign to the Company all right, title and interest in any invention or idea, patentable or not, made or conceived by the employee during employment by the Company, relating in any manner to the actual or anticipated business, research or development work of the Company and shall do anything reasonably necessary to enable the Company to secure a patent where appropriate in the United States and in foreign countries.

 

XVIII. PERFORMANCE-BASED RESTRICTED STOCK AWARDS.

 

A. Award Agreement. The Committee, in its discretion, may grant performance-based restricted stock awards to an eligible employee or make vesting of performance-based restricted shares contingent upon the attainment of performance goals relating to: (1) earnings growth, (2) return on shareholders’ equity, (3) earnings per share, (4) return on assets, (5) revenue growth, (6)stock price, or (7) other business goals defined by the Committee, each as may be adjusted by extraordinary financial events, if applicable. Any such objectives and the period in which such objectives are to be met will be determined by the Committee at the time of grant and reflected in the written award agreement. The number or value of performance shares that will be paid out to a participant at the end of the performance period will depend on the extent to which the Company has met the objectives determined by the Committee.

 

B. Payment of Performance-based Restricted Shares. Payment of earned performance-based restricted shares is made as soon as practicable after the Committee has determined that the performance goals have been met. The Committee, in its discretion, may pay earned performance-based restricted stock in the form of shares of Common Stock, cash or a combination thereof. Payment of performance-based restricted stock in cash results in the return of the shares to the Plan, and the shares subject to an award paid in cash will again be available for grant under the Plan. Unless otherwise established by the Committee in the applicable award agreement, upon a participant’s termination of employment, for any reason, all remaining unearned performance-based restricted shares shall be forfeited and returned to the Plan and shall again be available for award under the Plan. The Committee shall also set forth in the grant the number of performance-based restricted shares or the amount of payment to be made under a performance award if the performance goals are met or exceeded, including the fixing of a maximum payment (subject to subsection XVIII(D)).

 

C. Nontransferability. A performance share award is nontransferable other than by will, the laws of descent and distribution or, if permitted by the Committee, beneficiary designation, and a participant’s rights under an award are exercisable during the participant’s lifetime only by the participant. The extent to which a participant’s rights under an award of performance-based restricted stock are exercisable, if at all, in the event of the total and permanent disability or death during a performance period of a participant shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant.

 

D. Maximum Payment. In any fiscal year, no individual may receive payment for performance-based restricted stock in excess of an aggregate of 1,200,000 shares of Common Stock, including stock options, stock appreciation rights and other Stock Awards granted under this Plan (subject to adjustment as provided in Section XXII of the Plan). The amount of any payment of performance-based restricted shares in cash shall be based upon the fair market value of the Common Stock on the date the restrictions lapse. Fair market value shall mean, unless the Committee deems otherwise, as of any date, the closing sales price for such Common Stock as of

 

11



 

such date (or if no sales were reported on such date, the closing sales price on the last preceding day on which a sale was made) as reported in such source as the Committee deems reliable.

 

PART 4. GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

XIX. ASSIGNMENTS

 

The rights and benefits under this Plan may not be assigned except for the designation of a representative or beneficiary, as provided in Sections VI, X, XVI and XVIII.

 

XX. TIME FOR GRANTING OPTIONS OR STOCK AWARDS

 

All options for shares, stock appreciation rights and Stock Awards subject to this Plan shall be granted, if at all, not later than 10 years after the adoption of this Plan by the Board.

 

XXI. LIMITATION OF RIGHTS

 

A. No Right to an Option or Stock Award. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to give any personnel of the Participating Companies any right to be granted an option, Stock Award or Cash Award.

 

B. No Employment Right. Neither the Plan, nor the granting of an option, Stock Award or Cash Award nor any other action taken pursuant to the Plan shall constitute or be evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or implied, that any of the Participating Companies will employ a grantee for any period of time or in any position, or at any particular rate of compensation.

 

C. No Shareholder Rights for Options. An optionee shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to the shares covered by his options until the date of the issuance to him of a stock certificate therefor, and no adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such certificate is issued.

 

XXII. CHANGES IN PRESENT STOCK

 

In the event of any merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split, or other change in the corporate structure or capitalization affecting the Company’s present Common Stock, appropriate adjustment shall be made by the Board in the number (including the aggregate numbers specified in Section IV, XI and XVIII(D)) and kind of shares that are or may become subject to options and Stock Awards granted or to be granted hereunder, and in the option price of shares which are subject to options granted hereunder.

 

XXIII. CHANGE IN CONTROL

 

In the event that the Company is merged into or acquired by another entity in a transaction involving a change in control, the Committee shall have complete authority and discretion, but not the obligation, to accelerate the vesting of outstanding stock options and the termination of restrictions on Stock Awards.

 

The Committee may also ask the Board to negotiate, as part of any agreement involving a sale or merger of the Company, a sale of substantially all the Company’s assets or similar transaction, terms providing protection for employees holding stock options or Stock Awards.

 

12



 

XXIV. EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE PLAN

 

The Plan shall take effect on the date of adoption by the Board, subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company at a meeting held within 12 months after the date of such adoption. Options, Stock Awards or Cash Awards may be granted under the Plan at any time after the adoption of the Plan by the Board and prior to the termination of this Plan.

 

XXV. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

 

The Board or the Committee may suspend or discontinue the Plan or revise or amend it in any respect whatsoever; provided, however, that the Company may seek shareholder approval of an amendment if determined to be required by or advisable by any law or regulation, including without limitation, any regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Internal Revenue Service, the rules of any stock exchange on which the Company’s stock is listed or other applicable law or regulation.

 

XXVI. NOTICE

 

Any written notice to the Company required by any of the provisions of this Plan shall be addressed to the Secretary of the Company and shall become effective when it is received.

 

XXVII. COMPANY BENEFIT PLANS

 

Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the employee prior to death, or the employee’s dependents or beneficiaries after the employee’s death, from receiving, in addition to any awards provided for under this Plan and any salary, any payments under a Company retirement plan or which may be otherwise payable or distributable to such employee, or to the employee’s dependents or beneficiaries under any other plan or policy of the Company or otherwise.

 

XXVIII. UNFUNDED PLAN

 

Insofar as it provides for awards of stock or cash, this Plan shall be unfunded. Although bookkeeping accounts may be established with respect to employees who are granted awards of stock under this Plan, any such accounts will be used merely as a bookkeeping convenience. Except for the holding of Restricted Stock in escrow pursuant to subsection XIII(C), the Company shall not be required to segregate any assets that may at any time be represented by awards of stock or cash, nor shall this Plan be construed as providing for such segregation, nor shall the Company nor the Board nor the Committee be deemed to be a trustee of stock or cash to be awarded under the Plan. Any liability of the Company to any employee with respect to an award of stock or cash under this Plan shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations that may be created by the Plan; no such obligation of the Company shall be deemed to be secured by any pledge or other encumbrance on any property of the Company. Neither the Company nor the Board nor the Committee shall be required to give any security or bond for the performance of any obligation that may be created by this Plan.

 

XXIX. GOVERNING LAW

 

This Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto shall be governed by the law of the State of California and construed accordingly.

 

13



 

XXX. BUYOUT PROVISIONS

 

At any time, the Committee may, but shall not be required to, authorize the Company to offer to buy out for a payment in cash or Common Stock an option, stock appreciation right, Stock Award or Restricted Stock previously granted based on such terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish and communicate to the holder in connection with such offer.

HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY

1990 INCENTIVE STOCK PLAN

 

PART 1. PLAN ADMINISTRATION AND ELIGIBILITY

 

I. PURPOSE

 

The purpose of this 1990 Incentive Stock Plan (the “Plan”) of Hewlett-Packard Company (the “Company”) is to encourage ownership in the Company by key personnel whose long-term employment is considered essential to the Company’s continued progress and thus to provide them with a further incentive to continue in the employ of the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates. (The Company and all such subsidiaries are collectively referred to hereinafter as the “Participating Companies.”)

 

II. ADMINISTRATION

 

The Board of Directors (the “Board) of the Company or any committee (the “Committee”) of the Board that will satisfy Rule 16b-3 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and any regulations promulgated thereunder, as from time to time in effect, including any successor rule (“Rule 16b-3”), shall supervise and administer the Plan. The Committee shall consist solely of two or more non-employee directors of the Company, who shall be appointed by the Board. A member of the Board shall be deemed to be a “non-employee director” only if he satisfies such requirements as the Securities and Exchange Commission may establish for non-employee directors under Rule 16b-3. Members of the Board receive no additional compensation for their services in connection with the administration of the Plan.

 

The Committee or the Board shall from time to time designate the key employees of the Participating Companies who shall be granted stock options, stock or cash awards under the Plan and the amount and nature of the award to be granted to each such employee.

 

The Board or the Committee may adopt such rules or guidelines as it deems appropriate to implement the Plan. All questions of interpretation of the Plan or of any shares issued under it shall be determined by the Board or the Committee and such determination shall be final and

 

1



 

binding upon all persons having an interest in the Plan. Any or all powers and discretion vested in the Board or the Committee under this Plan may be exercised by any subcommittee so authorized by the Board or the Committee and satisfying the requirements of Rule 16b-3 for employees subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. In addition, the Board or the Committee may delegate to the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors the power to approve stock options and stock awards to employees not subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act.

 

Delegation of Authority for the Day-to-Day Administration of the Plan. Except to the extent prohibited by applicable law or applicable rules of a stock exchange, the Board or any of its committees as shall be administering the Plan may delegate to one or more individuals the day-to-day administration of the Plan and any of the functions assigned to it in this Plan. The delegation may be revoked at any time.

 

III. PARTICIPATION IN THE PLAN

 

Key employees of the Company, including officers (with the exception of David Packard), and directors of the Company who are also employed by a Participating Company shall be eligible to participate in the Plan.

 

IV. STOCK SUBJECT TO THE PLAN

 

The maximum number of shares which may be optioned or awarded under the Plan shall be 128,000,000 shares of the Company’s $0.01 par value Common Stock. In any fiscal year, no individual may be granted stock awards or stock options exceeding 1,000,000 shares or five percent of all shares optioned or awarded that year, whichever is less. If a class of Preferred Stock is created and authorized by the Company’s Certificate of Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation, Preferred Stock may be used in lieu of Common Stock for Plan grants. The limitation on the number of shares which may be optioned or awarded under the Plan shall be subject to adjustment as provided in Section XX of the Plan.

 

The grant of a stock award not pursuant to an option under the Plan (“Stock Award”) shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee shall determine to be appropriate, including but not limited to restrictions on resale, repurchase provisions, special vesting requirements or forfeiture provisions. The grant and exercise of a stock option shall be subject to such restrictions as the Committee may determine to be appropriate in accordance with Section VI of the Plan.

 

If any outstanding option under the Plan for any reason expires or is terminated without having been exercised in full, or if any Stock Awards are forfeited, the forfeited shares or shares allocable to the unexercised portion of such option shall again become available for grant pursuant to the Plan.

 

PART 2. OPTIONS AND STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

 

V. INCENTIVE STOCK OPTIONS

 

Any option granted under the Plan may be designated by the Committee as a nonstatutory option or as an incentive stock option (“ISO”) entitled to special tax treatment under Section 422A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended to date and as may be amended from time to time (the “Code”).

 

2



 

No option intended to qualify as an ISO may be granted under the Plan if such grant, together with any applicable prior grants, would exceed any maximum established under the Code for ISOs that may be granted to a single employee. Should it be determined that any ISO granted under the Plan exceeds such maximum, the ISO shall be null and void to the extent, but only to the extent, of such excess. Section 422A(b)(7) of the Code presently provides that with respect to options granted after December 31, 1986 the aggregate fair market value (determined as of the time the ISO is granted) of the stock with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by an employee in any calendar year under all incentive stock option plans of the Company shall not exceed $100,000.

 

Nothing in this section shall be deemed to prevent the grant of options in excess of the maximum established by the Code where such excess amount is treated as a nonstatutory option not entitled to special tax treatment under Section 422A of the Code.

 

VI. TERMS, CONDITIONS AND FORM OF OPTIONS

 

Each option granted under this Plan shall be authorized by action of the Committee and shall be evidenced by a written agreement in such form as the Committee shall from time to time approve, which agreements shall comply with and be subject to the following terms and conditions:

 

A. Options Non-Transferable. Each option granted under the Plan by its terms shall not be transferable by the optionee otherwise than by will, or by the laws of descent and distribution, and shall be exercised during the lifetime of the optionee only by him. No option or interest therein may be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the optionee during his lifetime, whether by operation of law or otherwise, or be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process.

 

B. Period of Option. The Committee may specify, at the time of grant a vesting schedule for any option. If no vesting schedule is specified, no option may be exercised before the first anniversary of the date upon which it was granted, nor may it be exercised as to more than one-fourth of the number of shares covered thereby before the second anniversary of such date, nor as to more than one-half of the number of shares covered thereby before the third anniversary of such date, nor as to more than three-fourths of the number of shares covered thereby before the fourth anniversary of such date. Any option granted pursuant to the Plan shall become exercisable in full upon the retirement of the optionee because of age or total and permanent disability or upon the death of the optionee. Except as provided in this subsection B, no option shall be exercisable after the expiration of 10 years from the date upon which such option is granted. However, the Committee may, at the time an option is granted to any employee who is not subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, specify a different term for the option up to a maximum term of 10.5 years. Each option shall be subject to termination before its date of expiration as hereinafter provided.

 

C. Exercise of Options. Options may be exercised only by written notice to the Company at its head office accompanied by payment in cash of the full consideration for the shares as to which they are exercised, and, with respect to nonstatutory options, by payment of all applicable U.S. withholding taxes upon such exercise. In addition, if and to the extent authorized by the Committee, optionees may make all or any portion of any payment due to the Company upon exercise of an option by delivery of any property (including securities of the Company) other than cash, as long as such property constitutes valid consideration for the stock under applicable law.

 

3



 

The Committee may permit the payment of required tax withholding due upon exercise of an option by the withholding of shares otherwise issuable upon exercise of the option. Option shares withheld in payment of such taxes shall be valued at the fair market value of the stock on the date of exercise. Fair market value shall mean, unless the Committee deems otherwise, as of any date, the closing sales price for such Common Stock as of such date (or if no sales were reported on such date, the closing sales price on the last preceding day on which a sale was made) as reported in such source as the Committee deems reliable. The Committee may impose special restrictions on the use of option shares as payment for withholding taxes by individuals subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act.

 

No option may be exercised while the optionee is on any leave of absence from the Company other than an approved medical leave. Options will continue to vest during any authorized leave of absence, and may be exercised to the extent permitted by subsection VI(B) above upon the optionee’s return to active employment status.

 

D. Termination of Options. All rights of an employee in an option, to the extent that it has not been exercised, shall terminate upon the termination of his employment for any reason other than the death of the employee or retirement because of age or total and permanent disability and in case of such retirement three years from the date thereof with respect to nonstatutory options and three months from the-retirement date with respect to ISOs. In the event of the death of the employee, the option shall terminate upon failure of his designated representative to exercise the option in accordance with the time period provided in subsection VI(E) below. The Committee may authorize the continuation of options held by terminating employees who, at the Company’s request or with the Company’s consent, are terminating to accept employment with not-for-profit corporations, governmental agencies or industry associations. Such approval must be obtained from the Committee prior to termination of employment in order to prevent termination of options.

 

(1)                                  Divestiture.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an employee terminates because of a divestiture by the Company, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, amend any option previously granted to such employee pursuant to the Plan such that the option becomes exercisable in full and/or permits the employee to exercise such option which has not already been exercised until the earlier of: (i) three months from the closing date of the divestiture, or such longer date, if any which the committee may authorize, or (ii) the expiration of the option. The Committee may, in its sole discretion, delegate its authority under this subsection to the Executive Committee.

 

(2)                                  Voluntary Severance Program.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an employee who is not a Section 16 officer terminates as a result of participation in a Company voluntary severance program approved by the Executive Committee, any option granted pursuant to the Plan shall become exercisable in full, and the employee may exercise any such option which has not already been exercised until the earlier of (i) three months from the employee’s termination date, or (ii) the expiration of the option.

 

E. Exercise by Representative Following Death of Employee. The employee, by written notice to the Company, may designate one or more persons (and from time to time change such designation) including his legal representative, who, by reason of his death, shall acquire the right

 

4



 

to exercise all or a portion of the option. If the person or persons so designated wish to exercise any portion of the option, they must do so within one year after the death of the employee or retired employee, as the case may be. All rights of the representative(s) in the option shall terminate upon failure to exercise the option within the time period set forth in this subsection VI(E). Any exercise by a representative shall be subject to the provisions of this Plan.

 

VII. MODIFICATION, EXTENSION AND RENEWAL OF OPTIONS

 

The Committee shall have the power to modify, extend or renew outstanding options and authorize the grant of new options in substitution therefor, provided that any such action may not have the effect of altering or impairing any rights or obligations of any option previously granted without the consent of the optionee.

 

The Committee shall have the power to lower the exercise price of an outstanding option not intended to qualify as an ISO under the Code; provided, however, that the exercise price per share may not be reduced below 75% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock of the Company on the date the action is taken to reduce the exercise price. Such fair market value shall mean, unless the Committee deems otherwise, as of any date, the closing sales price for such Common Stock as of such date (or if no sales were reported on such date, the closing sales price on the last preceding day on which a sale was made) as reported in such source as the Committee deems reliable.

 

VIII. OPTION PRICE

 

The option price per share for the shares covered by each nonstatutory option shall be not less than 75% of the fair market value of a share of Common Stock of the Company on the date the option is granted. The option price per share for ISOs shall be not less than the fair market value on the option grant date. Such fair market value shall mean, unless the Committee deems otherwise, as of any date, the closing sales price for such Common Stock as of such date (or if no sales were reported on such date, the closing sales price on the last preceding day on which a sale was made) as reported in such source as the Committee deems reliable.

 

IX. LOANS FOR EXERCISE OF OPTIONS

 

Any option agreement under this Plan entered into with an employee may, but need not, provide that the Company shall lend to the employee who holds the option the funds for any exercise of his option. Any such loans made to individuals subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act shall be at a rate of interest adequate to avoid imputation of income under Sections 483 and 7872 of the Code and shall be for a term not to exceed 15 months from the date of exercise of the related option. Any loan by the Company to fund the exercise of an option shall be subject to such other terms and conditions as shall be set forth in the option agreement, which terms and conditions shall be determined by the Committee at the time of the grant of the option. Loans may or may not be secured by stock issued pursuant to such option exercises, at the Committee’s discretion.

 

X. STOCK APPRECIATION RIGHTS

 

This section shall apply to employees who hold options heretofore or hereafter granted under the Plan (“Options”) and who are or may hereafter be subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. The Committee may, but shall not be required to, grant to such employees stock appreciation rights as herein provided with respect to not more than the number of shares from time to time

 

5



 

subject to the Options held by such employees. The stock appreciation rights shall be integral parts of the respective Options and shall have no existence apart therefrom.

 

A stock appreciation right shall be the right of the holder thereof to elect to surrender part or all of any Option which is wholly exercisable, or of any exercisable portion of an Option which is partially exercisable, and receive in exchange therefor cash or shares (valued at current fair market value) or a combination thereof. Such cash or shares or combination shall have an aggregate value (“Appreciation”) equal to the excess of the current fair market value of one share over the Option price of one share specified in such Option multiplied by the number of shares subject to such Option or the portion thereof which is surrendered. The current fair market value of a share shall shall mean, unless the Committee deems otherwise, as of any date, the closing sales price for such Common Stock as of such date (or if no sales were reported on such date, the closing sales price on the last preceding day on which a sale was made) as reported in such source as the Committee deems reliable.. No fractional share shall be issued on the exercise of a stock appreciation right, and settlement therefor shall be made in cash.

 

Each stock appreciation right granted under this Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: (1) each stock appreciation right shall be evidenced by a written agreement between the Company and the holder in such form as the Committee shall authorize; (2) each stock appreciation right granted under the Plan by its terms shall not be transferable by the holder otherwise than by will or by the law of descent and distribution, and shall be exercised during the lifetime of the holder only by him, and no stock appreciation right or interest therein may be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the holder during his lifetime, whether by operation of law or otherwise, or be made subject to execution, attachment or similar process; (3) all rights of an employee in a stock appreciation right, to the extent that it has not been exercised, shall terminate upon the death of the employee or the termination of his employment for any reason other than retirement because of age or total and permanent disability, and in case of such retirement three years from the date thereof with respect to nonstatutory Options and three months from the date thereof with respect to Options intended to qualify as ISOs; provided, however, that the employee, by written notice to the Company, may designate one or more persons (and from time to time change such designation), including his legal representative, who, by reason of his death, shall acquire the right to exercise all or a portion of the rights accrued under the stock appreciation right as of the date of his death. If the person or persons so designated wish to exercise any portion of the stock appreciation right, they must do so within one year after the death of the employee or retired employee, as the case may be, and such exercise shall be subject to the provisions of this Plan; and (4) the life of stock appreciation rights shall be coterminous with the life of the Options.

 

The holder of a stock appreciation right may exercise the same by (1) filing with the Secretary of the Company a written election, which election shall be delivered by the Secretary to the Committee, specifying (a) the Option or portion thereof to be surrendered, and (b) the percentage of the Appreciation which he desires to receive in cash, if any; and (2) surrendering such Option for cancellation or partial cancellation, as the case may be; provided, however, that any election which specifies that the holder of a stock appreciation right desires to receive any portion of the Appreciation in cash shall be of no force or effect unless and until the Committee shall have consented to such election.

 

No stock appreciation right or related Option may be exercised during the first six months of its term, except in the event death or total and permanent disability of the holder occurs prior to the expiration of this six-month period. No election to receive any portion of the Appreciation in cash shall be filed with the Secretary and no stock appreciation right shall be exercised to receive

 

6



 

any cash unless such election and exercise shall occur during the period (hereinafter referred to as the “Cash Window Period”) beginning on the third business day following the date of release for publication by the Company of a regular quarterly or annual statement of sales and earnings and ending on the twelfth business day following such date. The Committee may consent to the election of a holder to receive any portion of the Appreciation in cash at any time after such election has been made.

 

No stock appreciation right or related Option may be exercised during the first six months of its term, except in the event of death or total and permanent disability of the holder occurs prior to the expiration of this six-month period.

 

The Board or the Committee shall have the sole discretion to consent to approve or disapprove, in whole or in part, any election to receive any portion of the Appreciation in cash.

 

Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to give any eligible employee any right to be granted a stock appreciation right. Neither the Plan nor the granting of a stock appreciation right nor any other action taken pursuant to the Plan shall constitute or be evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or implied, that the Company will employ the holder of a stock appreciation right for any period of time or in any position or at any particular rate of compensation. The holder of a stock appreciation right shall have no rights as a stockholder with respect to the shares covered by his stock appreciation right until the date of issuance to him of a stock certificate therefor, and, except as otherwise specifically provided in the stock option agreement for the Options, no adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such certificate is issued.

 

PART 3. STOCK AND CASH AWARDS

 

XI. STOCK AND CASH AWARD DETERMINATION

 

The Committee may grant an eligible employee Stock Awards or awards of cash (“Cash Awards”) at such times and in such amounts as the Committee may designate which in its opinion fully reflect the performance level and potential of such employee. The Committee shall designate whether such awards are payable in Common Stock, cash or a combination thereof. Such awards shall be made in accordance with such guidelines as the Committee may from time to time adopt. Stock and Cash Awards shall be independent of any grant of an option under this Plan and shall be made subject to such restrictions as the Committee may determine to be appropriate.

 

XII. PAYMENT OF STOCK OR CASH AWARDS

 

A. No employee shall have the right to receive payment of any Stock or Cash Award until notified of the amount of such award, in writing, by the Committee or its authorized delegate.

 

B. Payment of Cash Awards shall be made in a lump sum or in annual installments over such period as the Committee may designate, which period shall not exceed five years, provided that the Committee may from time to time designate minimum installment amounts.

 

C. After an award of Common Stock subject to restrictions (“Restricted Stock”), such shares will be deposited in certificate or book entry form in escrow with the Company’s

 

7



 

Secretary. The employee shall retain all rights in the Restricted Stock while it is held in escrow including but not limited to voting rights and the right to receive dividends, except that the employee shall not have the right to transfer or assign such shares until all restrictions pertaining to such shares are terminated, at which time the applicable stock certificates shall be released from escrow and delivered to the employee by the Company’s Secretary.

 

D. The Committee may permit, on such terms as it deems appropriate, use of Restricted Stock as partial or full payment upon exercise of a stock option under the Company’s incentive stock option or compensation plans or this Plan. In the event shares of Restricted Stock are so tendered as consideration for the exercise of an option, a number of the shares issued upon the exercise of said option, equal to the number of shares of Restricted Stock used as consideration therefor, shall be subject to the same restrictions as the Restricted Stock so submitted plus any additional restrictions that may be imposed by the Committee.

 

XIII. TERMINATION OF RESTRICTIONS ON STOCK AWARDS

 

The Committee will establish the period or periods after which the restrictions on Restricted Stock will lapse.

 

The Committee may in its discretion permit an employee to elect to receive in lieu of shares of Restricted Stock, at the expiration of the restrictions, a cash payment equal to the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date the restrictions lapse. The Committee may also permit the employee to elect to pay required tax withholding due upon the lapse of restrictions with part of the shares due the employee at such time. The shares cancelled in payment of required tax withholding shall be valued at the fair market value of the Company’s Common Stock on the date the restrictions lapse. Fair market value shall mean, unless the Committee deems otherwise, as of any date, the closing sales price for such Common Stock as of such date (or if no sales were reported on such date, the closing sales price on the last preceding day on which a sale was made) as reported in such source as the Committee deems reliable.

 

XIV. DEATH OR TOTAL AND PERMANENT DISABILITY OF A PARTICIPATING EMPLOYEE HOLDING RESTRICTED STOCK

 

By written notice to the Company, an employee who has received a grant of Restricted Stock may designate one or more persons (and from time to time change such designation) who, by reason of his death, shall acquire the right to receive any vested but unpaid awards held by the employee at the time of his death. Such awards shall be paid to the designated representative at such time and in such manner as if the employee were living.

 

In the event of total and permanent disability of an employee who has participated in the Plan, any unpaid but vested award shall be paid to the employee if legally competent or to a committee or other legally designated guardian or representative if the employee is legally incompetent.

 

In the event of the death or total and permanent disability of an employee holding unvested restricted shares, the employee’s designated representative or the employee, as the case may be, shall be entitled to receive a prorated number of shares determined by dividing the number of years in the restricted period by the number of whole years lapsed since the grant date. Remaining unvested shares shall be forfeited unless additional payments are specifically authorized by the Committee.

 

8



 

If at the time of the employee’s death there is no effective beneficiary designation as to all or some portion of the awards hereunder, such awards or such portion thereof shall be paid to or on the order of the legal representative of the employee’s estate. In the event of uncertainty as to the interpretation or effect of any notice of designation, the Committee’s decision with respect thereto shall be conclusive.

 

XV. RESTRICTIONS AND FORFEITURE OF STOCK AWARDS

 

The Company’s obligation to deliver stock held in escrow is subject to the condition that the employee remain an employee of the Company on active or authorized leave status or be under contract to provide services to the Company as provided in Section XVI hereof for the entire deferral and/or restriction period, including mandatory and optional deferrals. If the employee fails to meet this condition, the employee’s right to any such unpaid amounts or undelivered stock shall be forfeited. This provision may be waived by the Committee in exceptional circumstances. In the event an employee holding restricted shares ceases to be on active pay status during the restricted period for a period of more than six months, the restricted period shall be extended by a period of time equal to the length of the period of inactive status.

 

XVI. RETIREMENT OF EMPLOYEE HOLDING STOCK AWARD

 

At the time of grant of any Stock Award, the Committee may specify special conditions or terms covering the status of such Stock Award upon the retirement of the employee. If no provision is made, the following provisions shall govern if the employee retires due to age: the Company’s obligation to make any payment due thereafter under the Stock Award feature of the Plan is subject to the condition that for the entire period of deferral or restriction, including mandatory and optional deferrals:

 

A. The employee shall render as an independent contractor and not as an employee such advisory or consultative services to the Company as shall be reasonably requested by the Board or the Executive Committee of the Board in writing from time to time, consistent with the state of the retired employee’s health and any employment or other activities in which such employee may be engaged. For purposes of this Plan, the employee shall not be required to devote a major portion of time to such services and shall be entitled to reimbursement for any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with the performance of such services;

 

B. The employee shall not render services for any organization or engage directly or indirectly in any business which, in the opinion of the Committee, competes with, or is in conflict with the interest of, the Company. The employee shall be free, however, to purchase as an investment or otherwise stock or other securities of such organizations as long as they are listed upon a recognized securities exchange or traded over-the-counter, or as long as such investment does not represent a substantial investment to the employee or a significant (greater than 10%) interest in the particular organization. For the purposes of this subsection XVI(B), a company (other than a subsidiary) which is engaged in the business of producing, leasing or selling products or providing services of the type now or at any time hereafter made or provided by the Company shall be deemed to compete with the Company;

 

C. The employee shall not, without prior written authorization from the Company, disclose to anyone outside the Company, or use in other than the Company’s business, any confidential information or material relating to the business of the Company, either during or after employment with the Company; and

 

9



 

D. The employee shall disclose promptly and assign to the Company all right, title and interest in any invention or idea, patentable or not, made or conceived by the employee during employment by the Company, relating in any manner to the actual or anticipated business, research or development work of the Company and shall do anything reasonably necessary to enable the Company to secure a patent where appropriate in the United States and in foreign countries.

 

PART 4. GENERAL PROVISIONS

 

XVII. ASSIGNMENTS

 

The rights and benefits under this Plan may not be assigned except for the designation of a beneficiary as provided in Sections VI and XIV.

 

XVIII. TIME FOR GRANTING OPTIONS OR STOCK AWARDS

 

All options for shares and Stock Awards subject to this Plan shall be granted, if at all, not later than 10 years after the adoption of this Plan by the Company’s Board of Directors.

 

XIX. LIMITATION OF RIGHTS

 

A. No Right to an Option or Stock Award. Nothing in the Plan shall be construed to give any personnel of the Participating Companies any right to be granted an option or Stock or Cash Award.

 

B. No Employment Right. Neither the Plan, nor the granting of an option or Stock or Cash Award nor any other action taken pursuant to the Plan shall constitute or be evidence of any agreement or understanding, express or implied, that any of the Participating Companies will employ a grantee for any period of time or in any position, or at any particular rate of compensation.

 

C. No Shareholder Rights for Options. An optionee shall have no rights as a shareholder with respect to the shares covered by his options until the date of the issuance to him of a stock certificate therefor, and no adjustment will be made for dividends or other rights for which the record date is prior to the date such certificate is issued.

 

XX. CHANGES IN PRESENT STOCK

 

In the event of any merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend, stock split or other change in the corporate structure or capitalization affecting the Company’s present Common Stock, appropriate adjustment shall be made by the Board of Directors in the number (including the aggregate numbers specified in Section IV) and kind of shares which are or may become subject to options and Stock Awards granted or to be granted hereunder, and in the option price of shares which are subject to options granted hereunder.

 

XXI. CHANGE IN CONTROL

 

In the event that the Company is merged into or acquired by another entity in a transaction involving a change in control, the Committee shall have complete authority and

 

10



 

discretion, but not the obligation, to accelerate the vesting of outstanding stock options and the termination of restrictions on Stock Awards.

 

The Committee may also ask the Board of Directors to negotiate, as part of any agreement involving a sale or merger of the Company, a sale of substantially all the Company’s assets or similar transaction, terms providing protection for employees holding stock options or Stock Awards.

 

XXII. EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE PLAN

 

The Plan shall take effect on the date of adoption by the Board of Directors of the Company, subject to approval by the shareholders of the Company at a meeting held within 12 months after the date of such adoption. Options and Stock or Cash Awards may be granted under the Plan at any time after the adoption of the Plan by the Board of Directors of the Company and prior to the termination of this Plan.

 

XXIII. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN

 

The Board or the Committee may suspend or discontinue the Plan or revise or amend it in any respect whatsoever; provided, however, that the Company may seek shareholder approval of an amendment if determined to be required by or advisable by any law or regulation, including without limitation, any regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Internal Revenue Service, the rules of any stock exchange on which the Company’s stock is listed or other applicable law or regulation.

 

XXIV. NOTICE

 

Any written notice to the Company required by any of the provisions of this Plan shall be addressed to the Secretary of the Company and shall become effective when it is received.

 

XXV. COMPANY BENEFITS PLANS

 

Nothing contained in this Plan shall prevent the employee prior to death, or the employee’s dependents or beneficiaries after the employee’s death, from receiving, in addition to any awards provided for under this Plan and any salary, any payments under a Company retirement plan or which may be otherwise payable or distributable to such employee, or to the employee’s dependents or beneficiaries under any other plan or policy of the Company or otherwise.

 

XXVI. UNFUNDED PLAN

 

Insofar as it provides for awards of stock or cash, this Plan shall be unfunded. Although bookkeeping accounts may be established with respect to employees who are granted awards of stock under this Plan, any such accounts will be used merely as a bookkeeping convenience. Except for the holding of Restricted Stock in escrow pursuant to subsection XII(C), the Company shall not be required to segregate any assets which may at any time be represented by awards of stock or cash, nor shall this Plan be construed as providing for such segregation, nor shall the Company nor the Board nor the Committee be deemed to be a trustee of stock or cash to be awarded under the Plan. Any liability of the Company to any employee with respect to an award of stock or cash under this Plan shall be based solely upon any contractual obligations which may be created by the Plan; no such obligation of the Company shall be deemed to be secured by any

 

11



 

pledge or other encumbrance on any property of the Company. Neither the Company nor the Board nor the Committee shall be required to give any security or bond for the performance of any obligation which may be created by this Plan.

 

XXVII. GOVERNING LAW

 

This Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto shall be governed by the law of the State of California and construed accordingly.

 

XXVIII. BUYOUT PROVISIONS

 

At any time, the Committee may, but shall not be required to, authorize the Company to offer to buy out for a payment in cash or shares an option, stock appreciation right, Stock Award or Restricted Stock previously granted based on such terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish and communicate to the holder of such option, stock appreciation right, Stock Award or Restricted Stock in connection with such offer.

Non-Qualified Stock Option

 

THIS STOCK NOTIFICATION AND AWARD AGREEMENT, as of the Grant Date noted above between HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY, a Delaware corporation (“Company”), and the Employee named above, is entered into as follows:

 

WITNESSETH:

 

WHEREAS, the Company has established the Plan named above, a copy of which can be found on the Stock Incentive Program website at: http://hrcms01.atl.hp.com:6047/public/pages/home/en_US/index.htm or by written or telephonic request to the Company Secretary, and which Plan is made a part hereof; and

 



 

WHEREAS, the HR and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company or its delegates (“Committee”) has determined that the Employee shall be granted a stock option under the Plan as hereinafter set forth;

 

NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree that the Company grants the Employee a stock option (“Stock Option”) to purchase the number of shares stated above of its $0.01 par value voting Common Stock (“Share(s)”) upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

 

1.       This Stock Option is granted under and pursuant to the Plan and is subject to each and all of the provisions thereof.

 

2.       The Grant Price is the price per Share set forth above.

 

3.       This Stock Option is not transferable by the Employee otherwise than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and is exercisable only by the Employee during his lifetime. This Stock Option may not be transferred, assigned, pledged or hypothecated by the Employee during his lifetime, whether by operation of law or otherwise, and is not subject to execution, attachment or similar process.

 

4.       This Stock Option will vest and become exercisable according to the vesting schedule set forth above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Stock Option shall be exercisable in full upon the retirement of the Employee, in accordance with the applicable retirement policy, or permanent and total disability, or upon his death.

 

5.       This Stock Option will expire on the expiration date set forth above, unless sooner terminated or canceled in accordance with the provisions of the Plan. You must exercise your award, if at all, on a day the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading and before the expiration date noted above. The Employee shall be solely responsible for exercising this Stock Option , if at all, prior to its expiration date. The Company shall have no obligation to notify the Employee of this Stock Option’s expiration.

 

6.       This Stock Option may be exercised by delivering to the Secretary of the Company at its head office a written notice stating the number of Shares as to which the Stock Option is exercised or by any other method the Committee has approved; provided, however, that no such exercise shall be with respect to fewer than twenty-five (25) Shares or the remaining Shares covered by the Stock Option if less than twenty-five. The written notice must be accompanied by the payment of the full Grant Price of such Shares. Payment may be in cash or Shares or a combination thereof to the extent permissible under applicable law; provided, however, that any payment in Shares shall be in strict compliance with all procedural rules established by the Committee.

 

7.       All rights of the Employee in this Stock Option, to the extent that it has not been exercised, shall terminate upon the death of the Employee (except as hereinafter provided) or termination of his employment for any reason other than retirement, in accordance with the applicable retirement policy, or permanent and total disability, and in case of such retirement three (3) years from the date thereof; provided, however, that in the event of the Employee’s death his legal representative or designated beneficiary shall have the right to exercise all or a portion of the Employee’s rights under this Stock Notification and Award Agreement within the time prescribed for exercise after the death of the Employee as provided herein. The representative or designee must exercise the Stock Option within one (1) year after the death of the Employee, and shall be bound by the provisions of the Plan. In all cases, however, this Stock Option will expire no later than the expiration date set forth above.

 

8.       Regardless of any action the Company or the Employee’s employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the Employee acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by him is and remains the Employee’s responsibility and that the Company and or the Employer (i) make no representations nor undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this Stock Option, including the grant, vesting or exercise of this Stock Option, the subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such exercise and receipt of any dividends; and (ii)  do not commit to structure the terms or the grant or any aspect of this Stock Option to reduce or eliminate the Employee’s liability for Tax-Related Items. Prior to the exercise of this Stock Option, the Employee shall pay or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and or the Employer to withhold all applicable Tax-Related Items legally payable by the Employee from Employee’s wages or other cash compensation paid to Employee by the Company and or the Employer or from proceeds of the sale of Shares. Alternatively, or in addition, if permissible under local law, the Company may (1) sell or arrange for the sale of Shares that Employee acquires to meet the withholding obligation for Tax-Related Items, and or (2) withhold in Shares, provided that the Company only withholds the amount of Shares necessary to satisfy the minimum withholding amount. In addition, Employee shall pay the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of Employee’s participation in the Plan or

 



 

Employee’s purchase of Shares that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to honor the exercise and refuse to deliver the Shares if Employee fails to comply with Employee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

 

9.       By accepting the grant of this Stock Option, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time unless otherwise provided in the Plan or this Stock Notification and Award Agreement; (ii) the grant of this Stock Option is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of stock options, or benefits in lieu of stock options, even if stock options have been granted repeatedly in the past; (iii) all decisions with respect to future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (iv) the Employee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with the Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate the Employee’s employment relationship at any time with or without cause and it is expressly agreed and understood that employment is terminable at the will of either party, insofar as permitted by law;  (v)  the Employee is participating voluntarily in the Plan; (vi)  this Stock Option is an extraordinary item that is outside the scope of the Employee’s employment contract, if any; (vii) this Stock Option is not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments insofar as permitted by law;  (viii) in the event that the Employee is not an employee of the Company, this Stock Option award will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company, and furthermore, this Stock Option award will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with the Employer or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company;  (ix) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; (x) if the underlying Shares do not increase in value, this Stock Option will have no value;  (xi) if the Employee exercises this Stock Option and obtains Shares, the value of those Shares acquired upon exercise may increase or decrease in value, even below the grant price; (xii) in consideration of the grant of this Stock Option, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of this Stock Option or diminution in value of this Stock Option or Shares purchased through exercise of this Stock Option resulting from termination of the Employee’s employment by the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and the Employee irrevocably releases the Company and the Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by accepting the terms of this Stock Notification and Award Agreement, the Employee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived any entitlement to pursue such claim; and (xiii) notwithstanding any terms or conditions of the Plan to the contrary, in the event of involuntary termination of the Employee’s employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Employee’s right to receive stock options and vest in stock options under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that the Employee is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); furthermore, in the event of involuntary termination of employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Employee’s right to exercise this Stock Option after termination of employment, if any, will be measured by the date of termination of the Employee’s active employment and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law; the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Employee is no longer actively employed for purposes of this Stock Option.

 

10.     The Employee hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Employee’s personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, the Employer, and the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee’s participation in the Plan. The Employee understands that the Company, its Affiliates, its Subsidiaries and the Employer hold certain personal information about the Employee, including, but not limited to, name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all stock options or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, purchased, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Employee’s favor for the purpose of implementing, managing and administering the Plan (“Data”). The Employee understands that the Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in the Employee’s country or elsewhere and that the recipient country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Employee’s country. The Employee understands that he may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the local human resources representative. The Employee authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Employee’s participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data, as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom the Employee may elect to deposit any shares acquired upon the exercise of this Stock Option. Employee understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage participation in the Plan. The Employee

 



 

understands that he may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of the Data, require any necessary amendments to the Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting the local human resources representative in writing. The Employee understands that refusing or withdrawing consent may affect the Employee’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of refusing to consent or withdrawing consent, the Employee understands that he may contact an HP local human resources representative.

 

11.     The Employee agrees to receive copies of the Plan, the Plan prospectus and other Plan information, including information prepared to comply with laws outside the United States, from the Stock Incentive Program website referenced above and stockholder information, including copies of any annual report, proxy and Form 10K, from the investor relations section of the HP website at www.hp.com. The Employee acknowledges that copies of the Plan, Plan prospectus, Plan information and stockholder information are available upon written or telephonic request to the Company Secretary.

 

12.     The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. The Plan and this Stock Notification and Award Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and the Employee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Employee’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and the Employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in the Plan or this Stock Notification and Award Agreement shall affect the validity or interpretation of any duly authorized written agreement between the Company and the Employee under which a Stock Option properly granted under and pursuant to the Plan serves as any part of the consideration furnished to the Employee. This Stock Notification and Award Agreement is governed by the laws of the state of Delaware.

 

13.     If the Employee has received this or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

 

14.     The provisions of this Stock Notification and Award Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.

Restricted Stock Award

 

THIS STOCK NOTIFICATION AND AWARD AGREEMENT, as of the Grant Date noted above between Hewlett-Packard Company, a Delaware Corporation (“Company”), and the Employee named above, is entered into as follows:

 

WITNESSETH:

 

WHEREAS, the continued participation of the Employee is considered by the Company to be important for the Company’s continued growth; and

 

WHEREAS, in order to give the Employee an incentive to continue in the employ of the Company and to participate in the affairs of the Company, the HR and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company or its delegates (“Committee”) has determined that the Employee shall be granted shares of the Company’s $0.01 par value Common Stock (“Share(s)”) subject to the restrictions stated below and in accordance

 



 

with the terms and conditions of the Plan named above, a copy of which can be found on the Stock Incentive Program website at: http://hrcms01.atl.hp.com:6047/public/pages/home/en_US/index.htm or by written or telephonic request to the Company Secretary.

 

THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.     Grant of Restricted Stock Award.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Stock Notification and Award Agreement and of the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Employee the number of Shares stated above (“Restricted Stock Award” or “RSA”).

 

2.     Vesting Schedule.

 

The interest of the Employee in the RSA shall vest according to the vesting schedule set forth above. Provided the Employee remains in the employ of the Company on a continuous, full-time basis through the close of business on the last vesting date set forth above, the interest of the Employee in the RSA shall become fully vested on that date.

 

3.     Restrictions.

 

(a)   The Shares or rights granted hereunder may not be sold, pledged or otherwise transferred until the RSA becomes vested in accordance with Section 2. The period of time between the date hereof and the date the RSA becomes fully vested is referred to herein as the “Restriction Period.”

 

(b)   Except as otherwise provided for in this Stock Notification and Award Agreement, if the Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated at any time for any reason prior to the lapse of the Restriction Period, all Shares granted hereunder shall be forfeited by the Employee, and ownership transferred back to the Company.

 

4.     Legend.

 

All certificates representing any Shares subject to the provisions of this Stock Notification and Award Agreement shall have endorsed thereon the following legend:

 

“The shares represented by this certificate are subject to an agreement between the Corporation and the registered holder, a copy of which is on file at the principal office of this Corporation.”

 

5.     Escrow.

 

The Shares subject hereto shall be held in escrow in a restricted book entry account with the Company’s transfer agent in the name of the Employee. Upon termination of the Restriction Period, the Shares shall be released into an unrestricted book entry account with the Company’s transfer agent; provided, however, that a portion of such Shares shall be surrendered in payment of required withholding taxes in accordance with Section 9 below, unless the Company, in its sole discretion, establishes alternative procedures for the payment of required withholding taxes.

 

6.     The Employee’s Stockholder Rights.

 

During the Restriction Period, the Employee shall have all the rights of a stockholder with respect to the RSA except for the right to transfer the Shares, as set forth in Section 3. Accordingly, the Employee shall have the right to vote the Shares and to receive any cash dividends paid to or made with respect to the Shares.

 

7.     Disability or Retirement of the Employee.

 

If the Employee’s termination of employment is due to the Employee’s total and permanent disability or retirement, in accordance with the applicable retirement policy, all outstanding and unvested RSAs shall continue to vest in accordance with Section 2, provided that the following conditions are met for the entire Restriction Period:

 

(a)   The Employee shall render, as an independent contractor and not as an employee, such advisory or consultative services to the Company as shall reasonably be requested by the Company, consistent with the Employee’s health and any other employment or other activities in which such Employee may be engaged;

 

(b)   The Employee shall not render services for any organization or engage directly or indirectly in any business which, in the opinion of the Company, competes with or is in conflict with the interests of the Company;

 

(c)   The Employee shall not, without prior written authorization from the Company, disclose to anyone outside the Company, or use in other than the Company’s business, any confidential information or material relating to the business of the Company, either during or after employment with the Company; and

 

(d)   The Employee shall disclose promptly and assign to the Company all right, title and interest in any invention or idea, patentable or not, made or conceived by the Employee during employment by the Company, relating in any manner to the actual or anticipated business of the Company, anything reasonably necessary to enable the Company to secure a patent where appropriate in the United States and in foreign countries.

 



 

8.     Death of the Employee.

 

In the event of the Employee’s death prior to the end of the Restriction Period, the Employee’s estate or designated beneficiary shall have the right to receive a pro rata number of Shares determined by the Company in its discretion. In the event of the Employee’s death after the vesting date but prior to the payment of Shares, said Shares shall be paid to the Employee’s estate or designated beneficiary.

 

9.     Taxes.

 

(a)   The Employee shall be liable for any and all taxes, including withholding taxes, arising out of this RSA or the vesting of Shares hereunder. In the event that the Company or the Employer is required to withhold taxes as a result of the grant or vesting of the RSA or subsequent sale of Shares hereunder, the Employee shall surrender a sufficient number of whole Shares or make a cash payment at the election of the Company, in its sole discretion, as necessary to cover all applicable required withholding taxes and required social security contributions at the time the restrictions on the Shares lapse, unless the Company, in its sole discretion, has established alternative procedures for such payment. The Employee will receive a cash refund for any fraction of a surrendered Share or Shares not necessary for required withholding taxes and required social insurance contributions. To the extent that any surrender of Shares or cash payment or alternative procedure for such payment is insufficient, the Employee authorizes the Company, its Affiliates and Subsidiaries, which are qualified to deduct tax at source, to deduct all applicable required withholding taxes and social security contributions from the Employee’s compensation. The Employee agrees to pay any amounts that cannot be satisfied from wages or other cash compensation, to the extent permitted by law.

 

(b)   Regardless of any action the Company or the Employee’s employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the Employee acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by him is and remains the Employee’s responsibility and that the Company and or the Employer (i) make no representations nor undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this RSA, including the grant, vesting or release, the subsequent sale of Shares and receipt of any dividends; and (ii)  do not commit to structure the terms or any aspect of this RSA to reduce or eliminate the Employee’s liability for Tax-Related Items. The Employee shall pay the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of the Employee’s participation in the Plan or the Employee’s receipt of Shares that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to deliver the Shares if the Employee fails to comply with the Employee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

 

10.   Data Privacy Consent.

 

The Employee hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Employee’s personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, the Employer, and the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee’s participation in the Plan. The Employee understands that the Company, its Affiliates, its Subsidiaries and the Employer hold certain personal information about the Employee, including, but not limited to, name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all stock options or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, purchased, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Employee’s favor for the purpose of implementing, managing and administering the Plan (“Data”). The Employee understands that the Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be located in the Employee’s country or elsewhere and that the recipient country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Employee’s country. The Employee understands that he may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the local human resources representative. The Employee authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Employee’s participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data, as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom the Employee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired under the Plan. The Employee understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage participation in the Plan. The Employee understands that he may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of the Data, require any necessary amendments to the Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting the local human resources representative in writing. The Employee understands that refusing or withdrawing consent may affect the Employee’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of refusing to consent or withdrawing consent, the Employee understands that he may contact an HP local human resources representative.

 



 

11.   Plan Information.

 

The Employee agrees to receive copies of the Plan, the Plan prospectus and other Plan information, including information prepared to comply with laws outside the United States, from the Stock Incentive Program website referenced above and stockholder information, including copies of any annual report, proxy and Form 10-K, from the investor relations section of the HP website at www.hp.com. The Employee acknowledges that copies of the Plan, Plan prospectus, Plan information and stockholder information are available upon written or telephonic request to the Company Secretary.

 

12.   Acknowledgment and Waiver.

 

By accepting this RSA, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time unless otherwise provided in the Plan or this Stock Notification and Award Agreement; (ii) the grant of the RSA is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of RSAs, or benefits in lieu of RSAs, even if RSAs have been granted repeatedly in the past; (iii) all decisions with respect to future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (iv) the Employee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with the Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate the Employee’s employment relationship at any time with or without cause and it is expressly agreed and understood that employment is terminable at the will of either party, insofar as permitted by law;  (v)  the Employee is participating voluntarily in the Plan; (vi)  RSAs are an extraordinary item that is outside the scope of the Employee’s employment contract, if any; (vii) RSAs are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments insofar as permitted by law;  (viii) in the event that the Employee is not an employee of the Company, this RSA will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company, and furthermore, this RSA will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with the Employer or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company;  (ix) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; (x) in consideration of the grant of this RSA, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of this RSA or diminution in value of this RSA resulting from termination of the Employee’s employment by the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and the Employee irrevocably releases the Company and the Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by accepting the terms of this Stock Notification and Award Agreement, the Employee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived any entitlement to pursue such claim; and (xi) notwithstanding any terms or conditions of the Plan to the contrary, in the event of involuntary termination of the Employee’s employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Employee’s right to receive Shares and vest in Shares under the Plan, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that the Employee is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); furthermore, in the event of involuntary termination of employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Employee’s right to vest in this RSA after termination of employment, if any, will be measured by the date of termination of the Employee’s active employment and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law; the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Employee is no longer actively employed for purposes of this RSA .

THIS STOCK NOTIFICATION AND AWARD AGREEMENT, as of the Grant Date noted above between Hewlett-Packard Company, a Delaware Corporation (“Company”), and the Employee named above, is entered into as follows:

 

WHEREAS, the continued participation of the Employee is considered by the Company to be important for the Company’s continued growth; and

 

WHEREAS, in order to give the Employee an incentive to continue in the employ of the Company and to participate in the affairs of the Company, the HR and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company or its delegates (“Committee”) has determined that the Employee shall be granted restricted stock units representing hypothetical shares of the Company’s common stock (“RSUs”), with each RSU equal in value to one

 



 

share of the Company’s $0.01 par value common stock (“Shares”), subject to the restrictions stated below and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Plan named above,a copy of which can be found on the Stock Incentive Program website at: http://hrcms01.atl.hp.com:6047/public/pages/home/en_US/index.htm or by written or telephonic request to the Company Secretary.

 

THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.     Grant of Restricted Stock Units.

 

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Stock Notification and Award Agreement and of the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Employee the number of RSUs set forth above.

 

2.     Vesting Schedule.

 

The interest of the Employee in the RSUs shall vest according to the vesting schedule set forth above. Provided the Employee remains in the employ of the Company on a continuous, full-time basis through the close of business on the last Vesting Date as set forth above, the interest of the Employee in the RSUs shall become fully vested on that date.

 

3.     Benefit Upon Vesting.

 

Upon the vesting of the RSUs, the Employee shall be entitled to receive, as soon as administratively practicable, Shares or a combination of cash and Shares, as the Company determines in its sole discretion, equal to:

 

(a)  the number of RSUs that have vested multiplied by the fair market value (as defined in the Plan) of a Share on the date on which such RSUs vest, and

 

(b) a dividend equivalent payment determined by

 

(1)   multiplying the number of vested RSUs by the dividend per Share on each dividend payment date between the date here of and the vesting date to determine the dividend equivalent amount for each dividend payment date;

 

(2)   dividing the amount determined in (1) above by the fair market value of a Share on the date of such dividend payment to determine the number of additional RSUs to be credited to the Employee; and

 

(3)   multiplying the number of additional RSUs determined in (2) above by the fair market value of a Share on the vesting date to determine the aggregate amount of dividend equivalent payments for such vested RSUs;

 

provided, however, that if any aggregated dividend equivalent payments in paragraph (b)(3) above results in a payment of a fractional share, such fractional share shall be rounded up to the nearest whole share.

 

4.     Restrictions.

 

(a)   Except as otherwise provided for in this Stock Notification and Award Agreement, the RSUs or rights granted hereunder may not be sold, pledged or otherwise transferred until the RSUs become vested in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth above. The period of time between the date hereof and the date the RSUs become fully vested is referred to herein as the “Restriction Period.”

 

(b)   Except as otherwise provided for in this Stock Notification and Award Agreement, if the Employee’s employment with the Company is terminated at any time for any reason prior to the lapse of the Restriction Period, all RSUs granted hereunder shall be forfeited by the Employee.

 

5.     Custody of Restricted Stock Units.

 

The RSUs subject hereto shall be held in escrow in a restricted book entry account with the Company’s transfer agent in the name of the Employee. Upon termination of the Restriction Period, if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, to issue Shares pursuant to Section 3 above, such Shares shall be released into an unrestricted book entry account with the Company’s transfer agent; provided, however, that a portion of such Shares shall be surrendered in payment of required withholding taxes in accordance with Section 9 below, unless the Company, in its sole discretion, establishes alternative procedures for the payment of required withholding taxes.

 

6.     No Stockholder Rights.

 

RSUs represent hypothetical Shares. During the Restriction Period, the Employee shall not be entitled to any of the rights or benefits generally accorded to stockholders.

 

7.     Disability or Retirement of the Employee.

 

If the Employee’s termination of employment is due to the Employee’s total and permanent disability or retirement, in accordance with the applicable retirement policy, all outstanding and unvested RSUs shall continue to vest in accordance with Section 2, provided that the following conditions are met for the entire Restriction Period:

 



 

(a)   The Employee shall render, as an independent contractor and not as an employee, such advisory or consultative services to the Company as shall reasonably be requested by the Company, consistent with the Employee’s health and any other employment or other activities in which such Employee may be engaged;

 

(b)   The Employee shall not render services for any organization or engage directly or indirectly in any business which, in the opinion of the Company, competes with or is in conflict with the interests of the Company;

 

(c)   The Employee shall not, without prior written authorization from the Company, disclose to anyone outside the Company, or use in other than the Company’s business, any confidential information or material relating to the business of the Company, either during or after employment with the Company; and

 

(d)   The Employee shall disclose promptly and assign to the Company all right, title and interest in any invention or idea, patentable or not, made or conceived by the Employee during employment by the Company, relating in any manner to the actual or anticipated business of the Company, anything reasonably necessary to enable the Company to secure a patent where appropriate in the United States and in foreign countries.

 

8.     Death of the Employee.

 

In the event of the Employee’s death prior to the end of the Restriction Period, the Employee’s estate or designated beneficiary shall have the right to receive a pro rata payment of cash, Shares or combination of cash and Shares, as the Company determines in its sole discretion. In the event of the Employee’s death after the vesting date but prior to the payment associated with such the RSUs, payment for such RSUs shall be made to the Employee’s estate or designated beneficiary.

 

9.     Taxes.

 

(a)   The Employee shall be liable for any and all taxes, including withholding taxes, arising out of this grant or the vesting of RSUs hereunder. In the event that the Company or the Employer is required to withhold taxes as a result of the grant or vesting of RSUs, or subsequent sale of Shares acquired pursuant to such RSUs, or due upon receipt of dividend equivalent payments, the Employee shall surrender a sufficient number of whole Shares or make a cash payment at the election of the Company, in its sole discretion, as necessary to cover all applicable required withholding taxes and required social security contributions at the time the restrictions on the RSUs lapse, unless the Company, in its sole discretion, has established alternative procedures for such payment. The Employee will receive a cash refund for any fraction of a surrendered Share or Shares not necessary for required withholding taxes and required social insurance contributions. To the extent that any surrender of Shares or payment of cash or alternative procedure for such payment is insufficient, the Employee authorizes the Company, its Affiliates and Subsidiaries, which are qualified to deduct tax at source, to deduct all applicable required withholding taxes and social security contributions from the Employee’s compensation. The Employee agrees to pay any amounts that cannot be satisfied from wages or other cash compensation, to the extent permitted by law.

 

(b)   Regardless of any action the Company or the Employee’s employer (the “Employer”) takes with respect to any or all income tax, social insurance, payroll tax, payment on account or other tax-related withholding (“Tax-Related Items”), the Employee acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items legally due by him is and remains the Employee’s responsibility and that the Company and or the Employer (i) make no representations nor undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this grant of RSUs, including the grant and vesting of RSUs, subsequent payment of Shares and or cash related to such RSUs or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired pursuant to such RSUs and receipt of any dividend equivalent payments; and (ii)  do not commit to structure the terms or any aspect of this grant of RSUs to reduce or eliminate the Employee’s liability for Tax-Related Items. The Employee shall pay the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold as a result of the Employee’s participation in the Plan or the Employee’s receipt of RSUs that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to deliver the benefit described in Section 3 if the Employee fails to comply with the Employee’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

 

10.   Data Privacy Consent.

 

The Employee hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Employee’s personal data as described in this document by and among, as applicable, the Employer, and the Company and its Subsidiaries and Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Employee’s participation in the Plan. The Employee understands that the Company, its Affiliates, its Subsidiaries and the Employer hold certain personal information about the Employee, including, but not limited to, name, home address and telephone number, date of birth, social insurance number or other identification number, salary, nationality, job title, any shares of stock or directorships held in the Company, details of all options or any other entitlement to shares of stock awarded, canceled, purchased, exercised, vested, unvested or outstanding in the Employee’s favor for the purpose of implementing, managing and administering the Plan (“Data”). The Employee understands that the Data may be transferred to any third parties assisting in the implementation, administration and management of the Plan, that these recipients may be

 



 

located in the Employee’s country or elsewhere and that the recipient country may have different data privacy laws and protections than the Employee’s country. The Employee understands that he may request a list with the names and addresses of any potential recipients of the Data by contacting the local human resources representative. The Employee authorizes the recipients to receive, possess, use, retain and transfer the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of implementing, administering and managing the Employee’s participation in the Plan, including any requisite transfer of such Data, as may be required to a broker or other third party with whom the Employee may elect to deposit any Shares acquired under the Plan. The Employee understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage participation in the Plan. The Employee understands that he may, at any time, view Data, request additional information about the storage and processing of the Data, require any necessary amendments to the Data or refuse or withdraw the consents herein, in any case without cost, by contacting the local human resources representative in writing. The Employee understands that refusing or withdrawing consent may affect the Employee’s ability to participate in the Plan. For more information on the consequences of refusing to consent or withdrawing consent, the Employee understands that he may contact an HP local human resources representative.

 

11.   Plan Information.

 

The Employee agrees to receive copies of the Plan, the Plan prospectus and other Plan information, including information prepared to comply with laws outside the United States, from the Stock Incentive Program website referenced above and stockholder information, including copies of any annual report, proxy and Form 10-K, from the investor relations section of the HP website at www.hp.com. The Employee acknowledges that copies of the Plan, Plan prospectus, Plan information and stockholder information are available upon written or telephonic request to the Company Secretary.

 

12.   Acknowledgment and Waiver.

 

By accepting this grant of RSUs, the Employee acknowledges and agrees that: (i) the Plan is established voluntarily by the Company, it is discretionary in nature and may be modified, amended, suspended or terminated by the Company at any time unless otherwise provided in the Plan or this Stock Notification and Award Agreement; (ii) the grant of RSUs is voluntary and occasional and does not create any contractual or other right to receive future grants of Shares or RSUs, or benefits in lieu of Shares or RSUs, even if Shares or RSUs have been granted repeatedly in the past; (iii) all decisions with respect to future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company; (iv) the Employee’s participation in the Plan shall not create a right to further employment with the Employer and shall not interfere with the ability of the Employer to terminate the Employee’s employment relationship at any time with or without cause and it is expressly agreed and understood that employment is terminable at the will of either party, insofar as permitted by law;  (v)  the Employee is participating voluntarily in the Plan; (vi)  RSUs, RSU grants and resulting benefits are an extraordinary item that does not constitute compensation of any kind for services of any kind rendered to the Company or the Employer, and is outside the scope of the Employee’s employment contract, if any; (vii) RSUs, RSU grants and resulting benefits are not part of normal or expected compensation or salary for any purposes, including, but not limited to calculating any severance, resignation, termination, redundancy, end of service payments, bonuses, long-service awards, pension or retirement benefits or similar payments insofar as permitted by law;  (viii) in the event that the Employee is not an employee of the Company, this grant of RSUs will not be interpreted to form an employment contract or relationship with the Company, and furthermore, this grant of RSUs will not be interpreted to form an employment contract with the Employer or any Subsidiary or Affiliate of the Company;  (ix) the future value of the underlying Shares is unknown and cannot be predicted with certainty; (x) in consideration of this grant of RSUs, no claim or entitlement to compensation or damages shall arise from termination of this grant of RSUs or diminution in value of this grant of RSUs resulting from termination of the Employee’s employment by the Company or the Employer (for any reason whatsoever and whether or not in breach of local labor laws) and the Employee irrevocably releases the Company and the Employer from any such claim that may arise; if, notwithstanding the foregoing, any such claim is found by a court of competent jurisdiction to have arisen, then, by accepting the terms of this Stock Notification and Award Agreement, the Employee shall be deemed irrevocably to have waived any entitlement to pursue such claim; and (xi) notwithstanding any terms or conditions of the Plan to the contrary, in the event of involuntary termination of the Employee’s employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Employee’s right to receive benefits under this Stock Notification and Award Agreement, if any, will terminate effective as of the date that the Employee is no longer actively employed and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law (e.g., active employment would not include a period of “garden leave” or similar period pursuant to local law); furthermore, in the event of involuntary termination of the Employee’s employment (whether or not in breach of local labor laws), the Employee’s right to receive benefits under this Stock Notification and Award Agreement after termination of employment, if any, will be measured by the date of termination of the Employee’s active employment and will not be extended by any notice period mandated under local law; the Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Employee is no longer actively employed for purposes of this grant of RSUs.

 



 

13.   Miscellaneous.

 

(a)   The Company shall not be required to treat as owner of RSUs, and associated benefits hereunder, to any transferee to whom such RSUs or benefits shall have been so transferred.

 

(b)   The parties agree to execute such further instruments and to take such action as may reasonably be necessary to carry out the intent of this Stock Notification and Award Agreement.

 

(c)   Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be given in writing and shall be deemed effectively given upon delivery to the Employee at his address then on file with the Company.

 

(d)   The Plan is incorporated herein by reference. The Plan and this Stock Notification and Award Agreement constitute the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede in their entirety all prior undertakings and agreements of the Company and the Employee with respect to the subject matter hereof, and may not be modified adversely to the Employee’s interest except by means of a writing signed by the Company and the Employee. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in the Plan or this Stock Notification and Award Agreement shall affect the validity or interpretation of any duly authorized written agreement between the Company and the Employee under which an Award properly granted under and pursuant to the Plan serves as any part of the consideration furnished to the Employee. This Stock Notification and Award Agreement is governed by the laws of the state of Delaware.

 

(e)   If the Employee has received this or any other document related to the Plan translated into a language other than English and if the translated version is different than the English version, the English version will control.

 

(f)    The provisions of this Stock Notification and Award Agreement are severable and if any one or more provisions are determined to be illegal or otherwise unenforceable, in whole or in part, the remaining provisions shall nevertheless be binding and enforceable.
