(b) Timothy Brown will step down as interim Chief Financial Officer of HP Inc. (“HP”) effective upon HP’s appointment of a new Chief
Financial Officer on August 5, 2024, as disclosed below. Mr. Brown will return to his previous position as head of Print Finance.
(c) On June 25, 2024, HP appointed Karen Parkhill as its
Chief Financial Officer, effective August 5, 2024 (the “Start Date”), to succeed Mr. Brown. Ms. Parkhill, age 58, currently serves as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Medtronic plc, a healthcare technology company, a
position she has held since June 2016. Prior to Medtronic, Ms. Parkhill served as Vice Chairman and Chief Financial Officer of Comerica
Incorporated, a financial services company, from 2011 to 2016. Ms. Parkhill was a member of Comerica’s Management Executive Committee and the Comerica Bank Board of Directors. Prior to joining Comerica, Ms. Parkhill worked for J.P. Morgan Chase
& Co., a financial services company, in various capacities from 1992 to 2011, including serving as Chief Financial Officer of the Commercial Banking business from 2007 to 2011.
Ms. Parkhill will be eligible to receive an annual base salary of $950,000, a target annual cash bonus of 135% of base
salary under HP’s annual bonus plan applicable to senior executives (but prorated for fiscal 2024), and other benefits, including annual equity grants, generally available to senior executives, with annual equity grants made to Ms. Parkhill in
December 2024 having a target grant value equal to $7,500,000.
In addition, Ms. Parkhill will receive a one-time grant of restricted stock units as an inducement to join HP and to
compensate her for forfeiture of unvested equity awards from her prior employer, with such number of RSUs equal to $15,000,000 divided by the closing price of a share of HP common stock on the Start Date, rounded up to the nearest share (the “New
Hire RSUs”). The New Hire RSUs are anticipated to be granted effective on or shortly following the Start Date and will vest in three equal installments over three years, generally subject to Ms. Parkhill’s continued employment with HP on the
applicable vesting date, provided that, if Ms. Parkhill’s employment with HP is terminated without “Cause” (as defined in Ms. Parkhill’s offer letter) and, if she timely executes and does not subsequently revoke a release of claims, the installment
of New Hire RSUs that would have vested on the next regular vesting date will vest effective as of when the release is effective.
Ms. Parkhill will also receive a cash signing bonus in the amount of $1,500,000, 50% of which is payable on the six-month
anniversary of the Start Date and 50% of which is payable on the one year anniversary of the Start Date, provided that if she resigns from HP or HP terminates her employment for Cause before the applicable payment date, Ms. Parkhill will not be
eligible to receive such payment, and if such resignation or termination for Cause occurs before the one year anniversary of the Start Date, Ms. Parkhill will be required to repay a pro-rata amount of the signing bonus (with such repayment obligation
reduced by 1/12th for each full month of her employment with HP).
Following her commencement of employment with HP, Ms. Parkhill will be eligible to receive severance benefits provided under
HP’s Severance and Long-Term Incentive Change in Control Plan for Executive Officers, as amended and restated and as it may be amended from time to time, which plan is described in HP’s proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange
Commission on February 26, 2024.
