Item 5.02.
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On April 19, 2022, HP Inc. (“HP”) held its 2022 annual meeting of stockholders (the “2022 Annual Meeting”). At the 2022 Annual Meeting, HP’s stockholders approved the Third Amended and Restated HP Inc. 2004 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Amended 2004 Plan”), which had previously been approved by the HR and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of HP, subject to stockholder approval.

The primary change to the Amended 2004 Plan is to make an additional 30,000,000 shares of HP’s common stock available for issuance pursuant to share-based compensation awards granted under the plan. In addition to this amendment, the Amended 2004 Plan includes a handful of housekeeping amendments, including (i) changes to address recent changes to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code; (ii) changes to address changes to applicable law and accounting rules; and (iii) incorporation of additional provisions to improve HP’s corporate governance practices related to the plan.

The material terms of the Amended 2004 Plan are described in HP’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on February 23, 2022 (the “Proxy Statement”), and the description of the plan included in the Proxy Statement is incorporated herein by reference as Exhibit 99.1. The description of the Amended 2004 Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Amended 2004 Plan, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.
