Message from our Chair and our Interim Chief Executive Officer

“

HP is entering fiscal year 2026 more focused than ever and deeply committed to driving long-term value.”

To our fellow stockholders:

On behalf of the Board and management, we are pleased to invite you to attend HP Inc.’s annual meeting of stockholders to be held on April 16, 2026, at 2:00 p.m., Pacific Time. This year’s annual meeting will be a virtual meeting of stockholders.

Shaping the Future of Work

HP is shaping the Future of Work through technology, creating experiences that drive growth and make work more fulfilling for people everywhere. Despite a challenging environment for our industry, we delivered meaningful progress against our strategy in fiscal year 2025. HP returned to a steady state of growth, achieved improvement across key growth areas including AI PCs, Advance Compute Solutions, and Workforce Solutions, and further enhanced cost discipline. The company also concluded its three-year Future Ready program, overdelivering on projected gross annualized run rate savings.

Your Board and Executive Team’s Role

On February 3, 2026, we announced a CEO transition plan. Bruce Broussard, who has been serving on HP’s Board since 2021, has agreed to lead the company through the completion of our comprehensive search for HP’s next CEO. We thank Enrique Lores for his contributions over the last 36 years and leadership as CEO for seven years. The Board is confident in our executive team’s ability to advance HP’s initiatives.

In addition, the Board continues to benefit from a thoughtful blend of seasoned directors with deep institutional knowledge and newer members who bring fresh perspectives. We have added four independent directors since the beginning of fiscal 2024, expanding the Board’s expertise in the oversight of our strategic growth opportunities. The Board remains

focused on guiding the company with clarity and conviction to be a leader in the Future of Work, seeking to drive sustainable growth and long-term value for our stockholders.

Positioned for Fiscal Year 2026

While our industry is operating in a dynamic environment, HP is entering fiscal year 2026 more focused than ever and deeply committed to driving long-term value. Looking ahead, we see opportunity to extend HP’s leadership in the Future of Work by delivering integrated experiences across devices, platforms, and services. Technology increasingly shapes the work experience and workplace culture, and HP is positioned to help customers make work more reliable, more connected, and more fulfilling.
