Hewlett Packard Enterprise Announces Pricing of Public Offering of Mandatorily Convertible Preferred Stock Page 1

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (NYSE: HPE) (“HPE”) today announced the pricing of its previously announced public offering (the “Offering”) of $1.35 billion (27 million shares) of Series C Mandatory Convertible Preferred Stock of HPE (“Preferred Stock”), in an underwritten registered public offering, at a price to the public and a liquidation preference of $50.00 per share of Preferred Stock. In addition, HPE has granted the underwriters in the Offering a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional $150 million (3 million shares) of Preferred Stock to cover over-allotments, if any.

The proceeds from the offering are approximately $1.32 billion (or approximately $1.46 billion if the underwriters exercise their option to purchase additional shares) after deducting the underwriting discount but before expenses. HPE intends to use the net proceeds from the offering to fund all or a portion of the consideration for its previously announced pending acquisition of Juniper Networks, Inc. (the “Juniper Acquisition”), to pay related fees and expenses and, if there are any proceeds remaining thereafter, for other general corporate purposes. The offering is expected to close on or about September 13, 2024, subject to certain customary closing conditions.
