On July 21, 2011, HP’s Board of Directors authorized a $10.0 billion share repurchase program.
HP may choose to repurchase shares when sufficient liquidity exists and the shares are trading at a
discount relative to estimated intrinsic value. This program, which does not have a specific expiration
date, authorizes repurchases in the open market or in private transactions. All share repurchases settled
in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2014 were open market transactions. As of October 31, 2014, HP had
remaining authorization of $4.9 billion for future share repurchases.
