SUMMARY
This summary highlights selected information from this prospectus and provides an overview of our company, the transfer of
our enterprise services business and the transfer of our non-core software assets. For a more complete understanding of our business,
the Everett Transaction, the Seattle Transaction, and the Separation, you should read this entire prospectus carefully, particularly the
discussion set forth under "Risk Factors" in this prospectus and the documents incorporated by reference in this prospectus, including
our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2015 and the historical combined and consolidated financial

Our Company
Hewlett Packard Enterprise is a leading global provider of the cutting-edge technology solutions customers need to optimize
their traditional information technology ("IT") while helping them build the secure, cloud-enabled, mobile-ready future that is uniquely
suited to their needs. Our clients range from small- and medium-sized businesses ("SMBs") to large global enterprises. Our legacy dates
back to a partnership founded in 1939 by William R. Hewlett and David Packard, and we strive every day to uphold and enhance that
legacy through our dedication to providing innovative technological solutions to our customers.
On November 1, 2015, Hewlett Packard Enterprise separated from HP Inc. (formerly known as "Hewlett-Packard Company")
pursuant to a separation agreement (the "Separation"). To effect the Separation, HP Inc. distributed all of the shares of Hewlett Packard
Enterprise common stock owned by HP Inc. to its stockholders on November 1, 2015 (the "Distribution"). Holders of HP Inc. common
stock received one share of Hewlett Packard Enterprise stock for every share of HP Inc. stock held as of the record date. As a result of the
Separation, we now operate as an independent, publicly traded company.
We believe that we offer the most comprehensive portfolio of enterprise solutions in the IT industry. With an industry-leading
position in servers, storage, wired and wireless networking, converged systems, software and services, combined with our customized
financing solutions, we believe we are best equipped to deliver the right IT solutions to help drive optimal business outcomes for our
customers.
We currently organize our business into the following segments:
·
Enterprise Group. Our Enterprise Group provides our customers with the cutting-edge technology infrastructure
they need to optimize traditional IT while building a secure, cloud-enabled and mobile-ready future.
·
Software. Our Software allows our customers to automate IT operations to simplify, accelerate and secure business
processes, and drives the analytics that turn raw data into actionable knowledge.
·
Enterprise Services. Our Enterprise Services brings all of our solutions together through our consulting and support
professionals to help deliver superior, comprehensive results for our customers.

Financial Services. Financial Services enables flexible IT consumption models, financial architectures and
customized investment solutions for our customers.

Transfer of Enterprise Services Business
On May 24, 2016, we announced plans for a tax-free spin-off and merger (collectively, the "Everett Transaction") of our
Enterprise Services business ("Everett") with Computer Sciences Corporation ("CSC"), which will create a pure-play, global IT services
company. Immediately following the Everett Transaction, which is currently targeted to be completed by March 31, 2017, stockholders of
Hewlett Packard Enterprise will own shares of both Hewlett Packard Enterprise and 50.1%
1
of the new combined company. The Everett Transaction is subject to certain customary closing conditions including approval by CSC
shareholders, the effectiveness of related registration statements, completion of a tax-free spin-off, completion of specified debt financing
transactions to capitalize Everett, the expiration of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements
Act of 1976, as amended, and the receipt of certain required foreign anti-trust approvals.
Transfer of Non-Core Software Assets
On September 7, 2016, Hewlett Packard Enterprise announced plans for a spin-off and merger of its non-core software assets
("Seattle Assets") with Micro Focus International plc ("Micro Focus") (collectively, the "Seattle Transaction"), which will create a pure-
play enterprise software company. Upon the completion of the Seattle Transaction, which is currently targeted to be completed by the
second half of fiscal 2017, stockholders of Hewlett Packard Enterprise will own shares of both Hewlett Packard Enterprise and 50.1% of
the new combined company. The Seattle transaction is subject to certain customary closing conditions including approval by Micro
Focus shareholders, the effectiveness of related registration statements, regulatory approvals, the anticipated tax treatment of the
transaction, the expiration of the applicable waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as
amended, and the receipt of certain required foreign anti-trust approvals.

Consequences of Exchanging Your Outstanding

Based on interpretations of the staff of the SEC, we believe that you may offer for
resale, resell or otherwise transfer the New Notes that we issue in the exchange offer
without complying with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the
Securities Act if you:
· acquire the New Notes issued in the exchange offer in the ordinary
course of your business;
· are not participating, do not intend to participate, and have no
arrangement or undertaking with anyone to participate, in the
distribution of the New Notes issued to you in the exchange offer;
and
· are not an "affiliate" of Hewlett Packard Enterprise as defined in
Rule 405 of the Securities Act.
If any of these conditions is not satisfied and you transfer any New Notes issued to
you in the exchange offer without delivering a proper prospectus or without
qualifying for a registration exemption, you may incur liability under the Securities
Act. We will not be responsible for or indemnify you against any liability you may
incur.
