  2. Per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes.

The Offers expired at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 16, 2020 (the “Expiration Date”).  As previously announced, the Offers were amended and modified to require (1) the successful completion, after June 10, 2020, of one or more offerings by HP (the “New Offering”) of notes with stated maturities occurring after December 9, 2021, in a total aggregate principal amount of not less than $3.0 billion (previously $2.5 billion) (on terms and conditions satisfactory to HP, in its sole discretion) and (2) (i) in the case of the Offer with respect to the 3.750% Global Notes due December 1, 2020 (the “2020 Notes”), the net proceeds of the New Offering be sufficient to fund the aggregate Total Consideration and the applicable Accrued Coupon Payment for all 2020 Notes tendered in the applicable Offer and (ii) in the case of each of the Offers with respect to the 4.300% Global Notes due June 1, 2021, the 4.375% Global Notes due September 15, 2021 and the 4.650% Global Notes due December 9, 2021 (collectively, the “2021 Notes”), the net proceeds of the New Offering be sufficient to fund the aggregate Total Consideration and the applicable Accrued Coupon Payment for all 2021 Notes of such series (after funding the aggregate Total Consideration and the applicable Accrued Coupon Payment for all validly tendered and not validly withdrawn Notes of a series having a higher Acceptance Priority Level (including the 2020 Notes)) tendered in the applicable Offer, provided that our obligation to complete an Offer with respect to a particular series of 2021 Notes is conditioned on the aggregate Total Consideration and the applicable Accrued Coupon Payment payable in respect of the 2021 Notes accepted for purchase in the aggregate not exceeding $1,000,000,000 (previously $750,000,000), and, in each case, subject to certain other provisions (collectively, the “Financing Condition”).

On June 9, 2020, HP priced its New Offering of notes with stated maturities occurring after December 9, 2021, in an aggregate principal amount of $3.0 billion.  Because the aggregate Total Consideration and the applicable Accrued Coupon Payment payable in respect of the 2021 Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn did not exceed $1,000,000,000, HP has accepted for purchase all Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn.  Approximately $682.5 million aggregate principal amount of Notes were validly tendered and not validly withdrawn under the Offers.

$1,776,000 in aggregate principal amount of Notes were tendered pursuant to the Guaranteed Delivery Procedures.  Acceptance of such Notes remains subject to the valid delivery, at any time at or prior to 5:00 p.m. New York City time, on June 18, 2020 (the “Guaranteed Delivery Date”) of such Notes, and corresponding documentation, pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions under the Offer to Purchase.

Holders of Notes that have been accepted for purchase will receive on June 17, 2020 (the “Settlement Date”), the applicable Total Consideration for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes, as set forth in the table above, and accrued and unpaid interest from the last coupon payment date up to, but excluding, the Settlement Date, in cash following the settlement of the New Offering.
