Preliminary Results

Based on the preliminary financial results of Everett SpinCo, Inc. (the “Company”), the Company estimates that net revenue for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2017 will be approximately $4.0 billion to $4.3 billion, a decrease of 4% to 11% from the corresponding period of the prior fiscal year. This estimated decrease is due to weak demand in the EMEA region, particularly the U.K. public sector market, the run off of several large contracts and unfavorable currency fluctuations.

The preliminary results for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 reflect management’s estimates based solely upon information available to management as of the date hereof. The preliminary financial results are not a comprehensive statement of the Company’s financial results for the first fiscal quarter of 2017. In addition, the preliminary financial results presented above have not been audited, reviewed, or compiled by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The preliminary financial results presented above are subject to the completion of the Company’s financial closing procedures, which have not yet been completed. The Company’s actual results for the first quarter of fiscal 2017 are not available and may differ materially from these estimates. Therefore, you should not place undue reliance upon these preliminary financial results.

Debt Financing

As previously announced, on May 24, 2016, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger with Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (“HPE”), Computer Sciences Corporation, a Nevada corporation (“CSC”) and Everett Merger Sub Inc. (“Old Merger Sub”), as amended by the First Amendment to the Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of November 2, 2016 among the Company, HPE, New Everett Merger Sub Inc., a Nevada corporation and a wholly-owned direct subsidiary of Everett (“New Merger Sub”), CSC and Old Merger Sub and as further amended by the Second Amendment to Agreement and Plan of Merger dated as of December 6, 2016 among HPE, Everett, New Merger Sub, CSC and Old Merger Sub (as so amended, the “Merger Agreement) pursuant to which New Merger Sub intends to merge with and into CSC, with CSC continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”).

Concurrently with the Merger Agreement, the Company entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement with HPE, dated as of May 24, 2016 (as amended as of November 2, 2016, December 6, 2016 and January 27, 2017, the “Separation Agreement”), which provides for, among other things, the separation of the Everett business from the other businesses of HPE (the “Separation”); the contribution by HPE of specified assets and liabilities related to the Everett

business to the Company (the “Contribution”); and the distribution by HPE of 100% of the shares of the Company’s common stock to HPE stockholders on a pro rata basis (the “Distribution”). The Merger, the Separation, the Contribution and the Distribution are collectively referred to herein as the “Transactions.” The consummation of the Transactions, which is currently anticipated to occur on or around April 1, 2017, is subject to numerous conditions including, among other things, the receipt by HPE of a payment from the Company in an amount of approximately $3.008 billion as specified in the Separation Agreement (the “Everett Payment”).

The Company intends to finance the Everett Payment with a cash dividend to HPE using (1) a portion of the proceeds of the term loan facility under that certain Term Loan Credit Agreement dated as of December 16, 2016 (as amended, restated, amended and restated, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Term Loan Credit Agreement”) among the Company, as borrower, the lenders from time to time party thereto (the “Lenders”) and The Bank of Tokyo-Mitsubishi UFJ, Ltd., as administrative agent (the “Administrative Agent”) in an aggregate principal amount of the U.S. dollar equivalent of $2.0 billion, and (2) a portion of the net cash proceeds of additional unsecured debt financing (the “Debt Financing”) expected to be completed at or prior to the closing of the Distribution, in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $1.05 billion. The actual terms of the Debt Financing are subject to change, including based on market conditions. There can be no assurance that the Debt Financing will be finalized on anticipated terms, or at all.

In connection with various amendments to CSC’s credit facilities and other financing arrangements that will permit the Company to replace CSC as the borrower or guarantor, as applicable, upon consummation of the Merger, on March 3, 2017, the Company entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Term Loan Credit Agreement (“Amendment No. 1”) with the Administrative Agent and substantially all of the Lenders party thereto as of such date. Amendment No. 1, among other things, removed the provision that would have required CSC to become a guarantor under the Term Loan Credit Agreement within 3 business days after the consummation of the Merger, the failure of which would have required mandatory prepayment of the borrowings under the Term Loan Credit Agreement. Consequently the Term Loan Credit Agreement is not expected to include any upstream guarantee from CSC following consummation of the Merger.

Post-Closing Financing Activities

Members of CSC management who are expected to be continuing executives of the Company have informed the Company that, as soon as practicable after completion of the effectiveness of the Merger, they intend to cause the Company to undertake a registered exchange by which the Company will offer to any and all holders of 4.45% Senior Notes due 2022 issued by CSC substantially similar notes newly issued by the Company.
