On April 4, 2016, the stockholders of HP Inc. (“HP”) approved an amendment to Article VII of HP’s certificate of incorporation to eliminate cumulative voting in director elections (the “Charter Amendment”), which is more fully described in Proposal 4 of the proxy statement for HP’s 2016 annual meeting (the “2016 Annual Meeting”). In connection with the approval of the Charter Amendment, on April 6, 2016, HP filed a Certificate of Amendment to its Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware. The Charter Amendment is effective as of April 5, 2016. As a result of the Charter Amendment, commencing with the 2017 annual meeting, HP’s stockholders will not be entitled to cumulative voting in the election of directors. The Certificate of Amendment is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
