Information to help leaders (L5 and above) communicate with their teams on the latest company news.

Over the past five months, CSC and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) have been working through details of the CSC/HPE-ES proposed merger. Today (Nov. 2, 2016) CSC and Everett SpinCo, Inc. (Everett) - the interim name of the holding company formed as part of HPE’s spin-off of its Enterprise Services (ES) business - filed additional transaction documents with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC).

Today’s filings include a form 8-K filed by CSC and forms 8-K, S-4 and Form 10 filed by Everett. The prospectus-information statement included in Everett’s S-4 and Form 10 will also be filed by CSC as a proxy statement at a later date. The filings add more definition and insight into the proposed merger, and represent another important milestone for the proposed combination. The new company will become one of the world’s largest independent IT services companies, focused on leading clients on their end-to-end digital transformation journeys. The proposed merger is on track with an expected closing on or around April 1, 2017, and currently there are no expected regulatory delays or changes to the transaction execution timeline.

This Leaders Briefing provides a top-line summary of these filings. You should feel free to explore these documents, and to encourage interested members of your teams to do the same. Note that these initial filings are draft documents -- they will undergo a number of iterations and SEC staff comments before they are finalized, just ahead of the transaction close next year.

Filing Highlights
Here are some of the items featured in the documents filed today:
•
A pro forma financial statement for the new company, along with historical financial information for CSC and HPE-ES.
•
Background on how the proposed merger of CSC and HPE-ES came together , details about both companies and some potential risks associated with the transaction.
•
An overview of Everett, the new corporate entity , including the intent to domicile the company in Nevada at closing, as CSC is today.

The statements also outline the ownership structure for the new company. With Everett shareholders (i.e., former HPE stockholders) forecast to own 50.1 percent of company, Everett will serve as the acquiring company in the transaction. This will align form with substance , as Everett is the larger entity in what remains, in effect, a merger of equals as described when the transaction was announced.

Under this structure, the roles for Mike Lawrie and Paul Saleh (CSC) and Mike Nefkens (HPE-ES) remain the same, as does the previously proposed composition of the Board of Directors. The intended tax-free status of the deal also is unchanged. Other key provisions of the deal - including synergies and market focus - are identical to what had been previously announced.

You are Urged to Review the Filings
The SEC will now review the filings and would customarily provide its initial comments in 30 days. We expect the SEC staff comment period to take a few months. As part of the SEC review process, there will be additional filings in the coming months, and we will keep you informed of those developments.





In addition to CSC and HPE stockholders, CSC employees are urged to read these filings, including the Everett prospectus-information statement, which will form part of CSC’s proxy statement. Please refer questions on the filings to CSC’s Office of the General Counsel . The filings can be found at:
