On July 21, 2011, HP’s Board of Directors authorized a $10.0 billion share repurchase program. HP may choose to repurchase shares when sufficient liquidity exists and the shares are trading at a discount relative to estimated intrinsic value. This program, which does not have a specific expiration date, authorizes repurchases in the open market or in private transactions. On October 10, 2016, the Board authorized an additional $3.0 billion for future repurchases of its outstanding shares of common stock. HP intends to use repurchases from time to time to offset the dilution created by shares issued under employee stock plans and to repurchase shares opportunistically. As of October 31, 2016, HP had approximately $3.8 billion remaining under repurchase authorization.
