HEWLETT-PACKARD COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
Note 2: Stock-Based Compensation (Continued)
satisfaction of both service and market conditions prior to the expiration of the awards in order for
them to vest.
Under the principal equity plans, HP granted certain employees cash-settled awards, restricted
stock awards, or both. Restricted stock awards are non-vested stock awards that may include grants of
restricted stock or grants of restricted stock units. Cash-settled awards and restricted stock awards are
independent of option grants and are generally subject to forfeiture if employment terminates prior to
the release of the restrictions. Such awards generally vest one to three years from the date of grant.
During that period, ownership of the shares cannot be transferred. Restricted stock has the same cash
dividend and voting rights as other common stock and is considered to be currently issued and
outstanding. Restricted stock units have dividend equivalent rights equal to the cash dividend paid on
restricted stock. Restricted stock units do not have the voting rights of common stock, and the shares
underlying the restricted stock units are not considered issued and outstanding. However, shares
underlying restricted stock units are included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share (‘‘EPS’’).
HP expenses the fair market value of restricted stock awards, as determined on the date of grant,
ratably over the period during which the restrictions lapse.
Performance-based Restricted Units
HP estimates the fair value of a target PRU share using the Monte Carlo simulation model, as the
TSR modifier contains a market condition. The following weighted-average assumptions were used to
determine the weighted-average fair values of the PRU awards for fiscal years ended October 31:
2011 2010 2009
Weighted-average fair value of grants per share ..................... $27.59(1) $57.13(2) $40.56(3)
Expected volatility(4) ......................................... 30% 38% 35%
Risk-free interest rate ........................................ 0.38% 0.73% 1.34%
Dividend yield ............................................. 0.75% 0.64% 0.88%
Expected life in months ....................................... 19 22 30
(1) Reflects the weighted-average fair value for the third year of the three-year performance period
applicable to PRUs granted in fiscal 2009, for the second year of the three-year performance
period applicable to PRUs granted in fiscal 2010 and for the first year of the three-year
performance period applicable to PRUs granted in fiscal 2011. The estimated fair value of a target
share for the third year for PRUs granted in fiscal 2010 and for the second and third years for
PRUs granted in fiscal 2011 will be determined on the measurement date applicable to those
PRUs, which will be the date that the annual cash flow goals are approved for those PRUs, and
the expense will be amortized over the remainder of the applicable three-year performance period.
(2) Reflects the weighted-average fair value for the third year of the three-year performance period
applicable to PRUs granted in fiscal 2008, for the second year of the three-year performance
period applicable to PRUs granted in fiscal 2009 and for the first year of the three-year
performance period applicable to PRUs granted in fiscal 2010.
(3) Reflects the weighted-average fair value for the second year of the three-year performance period
applicable to PRUs granted in fiscal 2008 and for the first year of the three-year performance
period applicable to PRUs granted in fiscal 2009.
