Which companies might I have stock in? Compare the date
when you first acquired HP stock with the Record Dates in the left-hand
column. The table is sorted by
Record Date -- the date used to determine the number of shares or amount
of cash each shareholder received.
Examples of how to use the table:
- If you owned any HP stock on 2000-05-02 (May 2, 2000) -- and have never
sold any -- in addition to your stock in HP, you would now have stock
in six companies:
HPInc, Agilent, Keysight, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, DXC, and Micro Focus.
You received cash and replacement stock in April 2019 from the
Micro Focus "Return of Value."
You were paid cash in May 2021
for your former stock in Perspecta.
- If you owned any HP stock on 2015-10-21 (Oct 21, 2015) -- and have never
sold any -- in addition to your stock in HP, you would now have stock
in four companies:
HP Inc, Hewlett Packard Enterprise, DXC, and Micro Focus. You received cash and
replacement stock in April 2019 from the
Micro Focus "Return of Value."
You were paid cash in May 2021
for your former stock in Perspecta.

Note 5
no
Note 1.
The cost basis treatment for the original Micro Focus spin/merge
used in the HPAA cost basis spreadsheets is based on the
opinion provided by HPE's outside tax counsel. However, some brokers and administrators
apparently interpreted the transaction differently -- or
did not report, or reported incorrectly -- to the IRS. The
variation in reporting of the original spin/merge means that the
April 2019 Micro Focus "Return of Value" transaction cannot be included in the HPAA
cost basis spreadsheets.
Note 2.

Note 3.
The Hewlett-Packard Company was originally incorporated in
California in 1947. In May 1998, it was reincorporated in
Delaware.
CA Secretary of State filing
Note 4. Electronic Data Systems was originally incorporated
in
Texas.
In 1984, it was reincorporated in
Delaware. (For unclaimed
property related to the 1984-1996 ownership of EDS by
General Motors, check
Michigan.)
Note 5. Stock of acquired company was "retired" -- i.e.
no longer traded. See
Where's my
stock?
Dates:
There are four dates associated with any stock event. The Announcement
Date.
The Record Date, used in this table and specified in the announcement,
is the date used to determine the number of shares or
amount of cash each shareholder receives. The next stock
market business day is the Effective Date. The Distribution Date,
usually weeks later, is the actual distribution of
the additional shares or cash.
