Item 5. Other Information.

On December 10, 2021, Hewlett Packard Enterprise entered into a sustainability-linked revolving credit facility (the “Credit Agreement”), together with the lenders named therein, JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. (“JPMorgan”), as co-administrative agent and administrative processing agent, Citibank, N.A., as co-administrative agent, and J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as sustainability structuring agent, providing for a senior, unsecured revolving credit facility with aggregate lending commitments of $4,750,000,000. Loans under the revolving credit facility may be used for general corporate purposes.

Commitments under the Credit Agreement will be available for a period of five years, which period may be extended, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions, by up to two, one-year periods.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement will bear interest at rates per annum, determined, at Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s option, by reference to (a) in the case of borrowings in U.S. Dollars, (i) an alternate base rate (“ABR Borrowing”) or (ii) Term SOFR (“Term SOFR Borrowing”), (b) in the case of borrowings in Euros, EURIBOR (“EURIBOR Borrowing”), or (c) in the case of borrowings in Sterling, SONIA (“RFR Borrowing”). ABR Borrowings will bear interest at (a) the highest of (i) the prime rate last quoted by the Wall Street Journal, (ii) the Federal Reserve Bank of New York Rate plus one-half of 1% and (iii) one-month Term SOFR plus 1%, plus (b) a margin of between zero and 62.5 basis points, depending on the rating of Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s long-term senior unsecured debt. Term SOFR Borrowings will bear interest at (a) the Term SOFR rate for the interest period for such borrowing, plus (b) a spread adjustment of 10 basis points, plus (c) a margin of between 100.0 and 162.5 basis points, depending on the rating of Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s long-term senior unsecured debt. EURIBOR Borrowings will bear interest at (a) the EURIBOR rate for the interest period for such borrowing, multiplied by (b) the statutory reserve rate, plus (c) a margin of between 100.0 and 162.5 basis points, depending on the rating of Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s long-term senior unsecured debt. RFR Borrowings will bear interest at (a) the Daily Simple SONIA Rate, plus (b) a margin of between 100.0 and 162.5 basis points, depending on the rating of Hewlett Packard Enterprise’s long-term senior unsecured debt. In addition, Hewlett Packard Enterprise will pay a commitment fee on unused commitments between 7.5 and 22.5 basis points, depending on the rating of Hewlett Packard Enterprise's long-term senior unsecured debt.

Under the Credit Agreement, the interest margins and commitment fee rates are also subject to upward or downward adjustments if Hewlett Packard Enterprise achieves, or fails to achieve, certain specified sustainability targets.

The Credit Agreement contains various customary covenants that limit, among other things, the incurrence of indebtedness by subsidiaries of Hewlett Packard Enterprise, the grant or incurrence of liens by Hewlett Packard Enterprise and its subsidiaries, and the entry into certain fundamental change transactions by Hewlett Packard Enterprise and its significant subsidiaries. The Credit Agreement contains a covenant pursuant to which Hewlett Packard Enterprise will not permit the ratio of consolidated EBITDA to consolidated net interest expense for any period of four consecutive fiscal quarters to be less than 3.0 to 1.0.

The Credit Agreement includes customary events of default, including events of default relating to non-payment of amounts due under the Credit Agreement, material inaccuracy of representations and warranties, violation of covenants, non-payment or acceleration of other material indebtedness, bankruptcy and insolvency, unsatisfied material judgments and change of control. Under the Credit Agreement, if an event of default occurs, lenders holding a majority of the revolving commitments will have the right to terminate the commitments and accelerate the maturity of any loans outstanding.

In connection with entry into the Credit Agreement described above, Hewlett Packard Enterprise terminated our $4,750,000,000 five-year revolving credit agreement, dated as of August 16, 2019.

Any capitalized terms used, but not otherwise defined, in the foregoing description shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Credit Agreement. The foregoing description does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.33 and is incorporated herein by reference.

The following disclosure is being made under Section 13(r) of the Exchange Act:

On March 2, 2021, the U.S. Secretary of State designated the Russian Federal Security Service (“FSB”) as a party subject to the provisions of U.S. Executive Order No. 13382 issued in 2005 (“Executive Order 13382”). On the same day, the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Assets Control updated General License 1B (“General License 1B”) which generally authorizes U.S. companies to engage in certain licensing, permitting, certification, notification and related transactions with the FSB as may be required for the importation, distribution or use of information technology products in the Russian Federation. Our local subsidiary is required to engage on a regular basis with the FSB as a licensing authority and file documents in order to conduct business within the Russian Federation. There are no gross revenues or net profits directly associated with any such dealings by us with the FSB and all such dealings are explicitly authorized by General License 1B. We

plan to continue these activities as required to continue to conduct business in the Russian Federation to the extent permitted by applicable law.

On April 15, 2021, the U.S. Government issued an executive order on Blocking Property with Respect to Specified Harmful Foreign Activities of the Government of the Russian Federation (“Executive Order 14024”), implementing additional U.S. sanctions against the Russian government and against Russian actors that threaten U.S. interests, including certain technology companies that support the Russian Intelligence Service. The U.S. Secretary of the Treasury designated Pozitiv Teknolodzhiz, AO (“Positive Technologies”) under Executive Order 14024 and Executive Order 13382. HPE’s local Russian subsidiary had dealings with Positive Technologies prior to its designation. Following the sanctions designation, our local subsidiary immediately initiated procedures to terminate its relationship with Positive Technologies. HPE does not plan to engage in any further transactions with this entity, except wind down activities that are authorized by OFAC going forward. In this reporting period, HPE did not have dealings with Positive Technologies, and there are no identifiable gross revenues or net profits associated with HPE’s relationship with Positive Technologies for this reporting period.
