Agilent Stock
You may now have
stock in HP, HPE, Agilent, Keysight, or DXC in multiple
accounts (such as at transfer agents for spun-off companies)
– and may not have received cash payouts for Micro Focus or
Perspecta. Your current cost basis depends
on when you acquired stock as companies were merged and spun out. HPAA members have developed a step-by-step process to find all your HP/HPE-related stock – and estimate cost basis:

Key: Agilent is the legal successor to the
Hewlett-Packard business units -- instrument, medical,
analytical, component, etc. -- that were that were
transferred to Agilent on May 2, 2000. In general, responsibility for commitments to former employees
of those business units rests with Agilent. (In turn, Keysight is now the legal
successor to the HP/Agilent/Keysight instrument business.)
Make sure that the legal successor to every company you ever worked for has your current postal address.
Even if not classified by the company as a "Retiree" or
if long gone -- in case of pension plan changes, employment
lawsuits, settlements, or other issues.
