Hewlett Packard Enterprise, through its wholly owned subsidiary H3C Holdings Limited, agreed to sell an aggregate 9% of the total issued share capital of H3C Technologies Co., Limited to three China-based counterparties for cash consideration of approximately USD $643 million. The three separate share purchase agreements are with Unisplendour International Technology Limited, Hefei Huaxin Mingzhu Equity Investment Partnership L.P., and Ningbo Yongning Yinshu Venture Capital Partnership (Limited Partnership).
Closing of each sale is subject to multiple conditions, including required approvals from governmental authorities in the People’s Republic of China, internal approvals by each counterparty, shareholder approval for the Unisplendour transaction, accuracy of representations and warranties, and compliance with covenants in all material respects. Either side may terminate its agreement if conditions are not satisfied by a “Long Stop Date” 180 days after November 28, 2025, which may be extended once by up to 30 days. H3C Holdings will handle tax reporting obligations in China related to the transactions.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise, through its wholly owned subsidiary H3C Holdings, agreed to sell an aggregate 10% of the total issued share capital of H3C Technologies to five China-based counterparties for cash consideration of approximately USD $714 million, under separate share purchase agreements.

A side letter with UNIS waives its right of first offer on H3C shares held by H3C Holdings and adjusts put and call option mechanics for the remaining stake. H3C Holdings states its intention to dispose of its remaining 9% issued share capital of H3C over time via its put option rights or direct sale.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise updated its executive incentive plan mechanics. On November 10, 2025, the HRC Committee raised the target levels of the non‑GAAP net income growth goals—along with aligned threshold and maximum levels—used to measure Performance‑Adjusted RSU (PARSU) awards tied to fiscal 2025, fiscal 2026, and fiscal 2027. The change reflects the expected profit contribution from the acquisition of Juniper Networks.
The plan already permits adjustments for events such as acquisitions not foreseen when goals were set. All other PARSU terms and conditions remain unchanged. Importantly, payout for the affected portions of the fiscal 2023, fiscal 2024, and fiscal 2025 PARSUs will not be greater than what the total payout would have been without this modification, preserving the original compensation design intent.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise declared a cash dividend of $0.953125 per share on its 7.625% Series C Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock. The dividend is payable on December 1, 2025 to holders of record as of the close of business on November 15, 2025.
The Board of Directors retains sole discretion to declare and pay dividends from legally available sources. If the scheduled payment date is not a business day, payment will be made on the next business day without interest.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise filed an amended Form 8-K to correct a scrivener’s error in the press release furnished with its Securities Analyst Meeting 2025 materials. The correction clarifies footnote 2 on revenue growth outlook: growth rates include FY25 results normalized to include 8 months of Juniper results pre-acquisition close. Without this treatment, the revenue growth outlook is expected to be 17 to 22% for FY26 and 8 to 11% long-term.
The corrected press release is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 under Item 7.01 (furnished, not filed). No other changes were made to the previously issued press release.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise announced a forthcoming segment realignment and capital return update. Effective at the start of fiscal Q1 2026, HPE will merge Server, Hybrid Cloud, and Financial Services into a new Cloud & AI segment, move Telco and Instant On to Corporate Investments and Other, and continue Networking as a separate segment. HPE will report under this structure beginning with fiscal Q1 2026.
Historical segment data for fiscal 2024 and the first three quarters of 2025 have been recast and, per HPE, did not change previously reported consolidated net revenue, net earnings, EPS, or total assets. HPE also furnished summary combined historical information for HPE and Juniper Networks as a simple summation (not Article 11 pro forma) and cautioned it is not indicative of past or future combined results.
HPE’s Board approved a $3 billion increase in the share repurchase authorization with no expiration. Integration actions following the Juniper acquisition include workforce reductions with an estimated cost of approximately $240 million.
Hewlett Packard Enterprise updated its fiscal 2025 annual incentive program for executive officers after closing the Juniper Networks, Inc. acquisition. On September 19, 2025, the HR and Compensation Committee raised the target goal levels for the HPE financial performance metrics used in the annual cash bonus plan, with matching changes to threshold and maximum goals, to reflect roughly four months of operating as a combined company.
The bonus plan remains weighted 80% on company results and 20% on individual objectives. Company results are tied to HPE revenue, non-GAAP operating profit and annualized revenue run-rate (ARR). Starting with the quarter ended July 31, 2025, HPE also includes revenue from software licenses support and maintenance in pre-acquisition ARR, and the ARR target in the bonus plan was adjusted to mirror this updated calculation. All other incentive plan terms stay the same.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) signed a Cooperation Agreement with activist investor Elliott Investment Management on 16 Jul 2025.
- Elliott gains immediate board representation via appointment of Robert M. Calderoni; it may add one Elliott employee subject to Board approval.
- New directors will stand for election at the 2026 AGM. Board size capped at 13 through that meeting and 12 thereafter (one higher if an Elliott seat is filled).
- The Board forms a Strategy Committee chaired by Calderoni with directors Lane, Noski and Reiner to review strategy and value-creation options; Calderoni also joins the Integration Committee overseeing the Juniper deal.
- Elliott agrees to standstill, voting and non-disparagement provisions until at least one year after signing, or longer while its employee serves.
- Elliott must maintain a ≥2% net-long position to keep director-replacement rights.
The pact avoids a proxy fight yet hands the activist formal influence over HPE’s strategic direction, a move that could accelerate portfolio actions or capital-allocation shifts.
