On January 29, 2021, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of HP Inc. (the “Company”) expanded the size of the Board and elected Judith (“Jami”) Miscik to serve as a director of the Company, effective immediately. Ms. Miscik currently serves as the Chief Executive Officer and Vice Chair of Kissinger Associates, an international geopolitical consulting firm.  The Board also appointed Ms. Miscik to the Audit Committee and the Nominating, Governance and Social Responsibility Committee of the Board.  The Board has determined that Ms. Miscik qualifies as an independent director under the listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange and the director independence standards set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines.  The Board has also determined that Ms. Miscik meets the additional independence and financial literacy requirements for service on the Audit Committee.

Ms. Miscik will receive compensation for service as a non-employee director of the Company consistent with the compensation generally provided to other non-employee directors, as determined by the Board from time to time. Currently, non-employee directors generally receive, among other things (i) an annual cash retainer of $105,000, which, in lieu of cash, he or she may elect to receive an equivalent value of Company equity securities in the form of fully vested shares of common stock of the Company (“shares”), and an annual equity retainer of $215,000 in the form of fully vested shares, (ii) $2,000 in cash for each Board meeting attended in excess of ten per year and (iii) $2,000 in cash for each Board committee meeting attended in excess of ten meetings per committee per year. For Ms. Miscik’s first partial year of Board service, her annual cash retainer will be pro-rated and paid in the form of cash and her annual equity retainer will be pro-rated and paid in the form of fully vested shares.

There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Miscik and any other persons pursuant to which Ms. Miscik was selected as a director. Ms. Miscik has no direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
