Hewlett-Packard Company Announces Offering of Senior Notes by Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company

PALO ALTO, CA — (Marketwired) — 09/30/15 — Hewlett-Packard Company (“HP Co.”) (NYSE: HPQ) today announced the offering by its wholly owned subsidiary, Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (“Hewlett Packard Enterprise”), of senior notes (the “Notes”). The Notes will be senior unsecured obligations of Hewlett Packard Enterprise and will rank equally in right of payment with all of Hewlett Packard Enterprise–s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness, and will be initially guaranteed by HP Co., which guarantee will rank equally in right of payment with all of HP Co.–s existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness. Upon the consummation of the previously announced separation of HP Co.–s enterprise technology infrastructure, software, services and financing businesses from HP Co.–s other businesses (the “separation”), HP Co.–s guarantee will automatically terminate, and HP Co. will be released from its obligations under the Notes. The proceeds from the Notes offering will be used by Hewlett Packard Enterprise to pay a distribution to HP Co. prior to the separation. HP Co. intends to use the cash received from Hewlett Packard Enterprise to repurchase and redeem certain of HP Co.–s outstanding senior notes and to repay other indebtedness.

The Notes being offered by Hewlett Packard Enterprise have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities laws. As a result, they may not be offered or sold in the United States to any U.S. persons absent registration under the Securities Act, except pursuant to an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act. Accordingly, the Notes are being offered only to “qualified institutional buyers” under Rule 144A of the Securities Act or, outside the United States, to persons other than “U.S. persons” in compliance with Regulation S under the Securities Act.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of the Notes in any state or jurisdiction in which such an offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
