An Oct 28, 2021 note that affects this discussion: U.S. pension change. In 2020, HP Inc irrevocably transferred pension administration and $5.2 billion in payment obligations for 41,000 U.S. HP, DEC, and EDS retirees to Prudential Insurance Company through the purchase of a group annuity contract. Business later sold to Empower. Details: hpalumni.org/pension2021
