..... -­Fairness Sta nd ards of business conduct A message from Dion Weisler

At HP, how we do things is as important as what we do.

Our conduct is the core of our culture, founded on shared va lues that are as relevant today as when HP was established back in 1939. The HP Standards of Bu sine ss Conduct (SBC) sets the standards that guide our business practices and govern our behavior.

We are all responsible for protecting and enhancing HP's reputation for integrity. Every decision we make matters in our effort to deliver meaningful co ntributions to people, organizations, our communities, and the world. We're accountable for our actions, responsible for their consequences, and proud of our efforts. Together, let's build trust in everything we do by living our values.

Dian Weisler CEO

A message from David Deitch man

HP has built its reputation as an exceptional company by doing bu siness ethically and in compliance with the law. Doing otherwise can damage our reputation and business we've worked so hard to build. We take ou r ethical re sponsibilities ve ry seriously, and we must work together to address any issues that arise under the SBC, related polic ie s, and local la ws. This includes all of speaking up and reporting what doesn't seem right.

We provide a variety of avenues for employees to ask questions or voice their concerns. And we don't tolerate retaliation against employees who spea k up honestly and in good faith . We take action when we find misconduct, and we hold people accountable.

The SBC is a key part of the company's unique culture and id entity, and we 're proud to stand behind it. Its standards and supporting policie s set expectations and are designed to give you the guidance and confidence to make ethical choice s even in tough situations, no matter where you are located in the world. If you don't know what to do, reach out and ask-your leaders, Legal, Human Resources, or my office can help you find the answer so yo u can make the right choice.

Our continued success depends on all of us working together and competing to win, while at all times acting with honesty, integrity, and respect. Let's win the right way.

David Deitchman Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer
