Member advice on Obtaining Stock Records
Long-time HP employees may have old statements from HP's previous transfer agents – which also administered the employee stock purchase plans over the years:
- Harris Trust.
- Computershare. Bought the Harris stock registry business in 2001.
- ChaseMellon. Joint venture between Mellon and Chase in 1995.
- BNY Mellon. Unencrypted backup tapes with information on 12 million shareholders – including HP's – were twice lost by BNY couriers in 2008. (We got one year of identity monitoring service. No members reported breaches.)
- Computershare again. Bought the Mellon stock registry business in 2012.
Currently:
- HP's transfer agent is Equiniti. Bought Shareowner Services division of Wells Fargo in 2019.
- HP employee purchase administration is now at the NetBenefits division of Fidelity. (Not the regular brokerage division.)
