Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities.

On October 10, 2016, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of HP Inc. (“HP”) approved a restructuring plan (“the plan”) that it expects will be implemented through fiscal 2019 and is expected to generate gross annual run rate savings of approximately $200 million to $300 million beginning in fiscal 2020.

As part of the plan, HP expects approximately 3,000 to 4,000 employees to exit between fiscal 2017 and fiscal 2019. The changes to the workforce will vary by country, based on local legal requirements and consultations with employee works councils and other employee representatives, as appropriate.

In connection with the plan, HP anticipates incurring approximately $350 million to $500 million in restructuring and other charges due to both labor and non-labor actions. Of these amounts, HP expects to incur approximately $200 million in labor costs related to workforce reductions.

Other Events.

On October 10, 2016, the Board authorized an additional $3.0 billion for future repurchases of its outstanding shares of common stock. HP intends to use the additional authorization to repurchase its shares from time to time to offset the dilution created by shares issued under employee stock plans and to repurchase shares opportunistically. As of September 30, 2016, HP had approximately $0.8 billion of repurchase authorization remaining under the $10.0 billion repurchase authorization approved by the Board on July 21, 2011.

Repurchases by HP under the repurchase program may be effected from time to time through open market purchases, trading plans established in accordance with the SEC’s rules or other means, depending on satisfactory market conditions, applicable legal requirements and other factors. The repurchase program does not obligate HP to repurchase any particular amount of common stock, and it may be suspended at any time at HP’s discretion.
