Corporate Investments includes Hewlett Packard Labs which is responsible for research and development and also hosts certain business

incubations projects, and the Communications and Media Solutions business.
Recent Developments
The worldwide spread of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) is expected to result in a global slowdown of economic activity which is likely to
decrease demand for a broad variety of goods and services, including from our customers, while also disrupting sales channels and marketing
activities for an unknown period of time until the disease is contained. We expect this to have a negative impact on our sales and our results of
operations, the size and duration of which we are currently unable to predict. See "Risk Factors-- We are unable to predict the extent to which the
global COVID-19 pandemic may adversely impact our business operations, financial performance and results of operations."
As part of its first quarter earnings announcement on March 3, 2020, HPE provided updated financial guidance for full year fiscal 2020. While HPE is
actively working to mitigate the impact on our business and operations, including proactive outreach to suppliers and prioritizing our customers' and
partners' needs, as described in the risk factors contained herein, HPE is unable to predict the extent to which the global COVID-19 pandemic may
adversely impact its business operations, financial performance and results of operations. As a result of the increased level of uncertainty arising since
the date of the earnings announcement, HPE has determined that it is necessary to withdraw its previously issued financial guidance. HPE has a
strong balance sheet and liquidity profile. HPE plans to provide more information during its second quarter earnings call based on the information
available at that time. In addition, HPE has suspended purchases under its share repurchase program.
Corporate Information
Hewlett Packard Enterprise was incorporated in Delaware in 2015. The address of our principal executive offices is 6280 America Center Drive, San
Jose, CA 95002.

Table of Contents
RISK FACTORS
An investment in the notes represents a high degree of risk. In consultation with your own financial and legal advisors, and in addition to the other
information contained in, or incorporated by reference into, this prospectus supplement and the accompanying prospectus, you should carefully consider
the following discussion of risks before deciding whether an investment in the notes is suitable for you. In addition, you should carefully consider the other
risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are set forth under the caption "Risk Factors," contained in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K
for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2019 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended January 31, 2020 before investing in the
notes. Our business, results of operations or financial condition could be adversely affected by any of these risks or by additional risks and uncertainties
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1645590/000119312520100700/d909821d424b2.htm[4/8/2020 8:59:19 AM]

424B2
not currently known to us or that we currently consider immaterial.
We are unable to predict the extent to which the global COVID-19 pandemic may adversely impact our business operations, financial performance and
results of operations.
The COVID-19 pandemic and efforts to control its spread have significantly curtailed the movement of people, goods and services worldwide, including in
most or all of the regions in which we sell our products and services and conduct our business operations. The magnitude and duration of the disruption and
resulting decline in business activity is uncertain. We anticipate that it will adversely affect our business, including by negatively impacting the demand for
our products and services, restricting our operations and sales, marketing and distribution efforts, disrupting the supply chains of hardware products and
disrupting our research and development capabilities, engineering, design and manufacturing processes and other important business activities. In response
to the COVID-19 pandemic, certain industry events that we sponsor or at which we present and certain customer events have been canceled, postponed or
moved to virtual-only experiences; we are encouraging all of our employees to work remotely; and we may deem it advisable to similarly alter, postpone
or cancel entirely additional customer, employee or industry events in the future. Further, unanticipated disruptions in services provided through our
localized physical infrastructure caused by the COVID-19 pandemic can curtail the functioning of critical components of our IT systems, and adversely
affect our ability to fulfill orders, provide services, respond to customer requests and maintain our worldwide business operations. Accordingly, we expect
the COVID-19 pandemic to have a negative impact on our sales and our results of operations, the size and duration of which we are currently unable to
predict. Additionally, concerns over the economic impact of COVID-19 pandemic have caused extreme volatility in financial and other capital markets
which has and may continue to adversely impact our stock price and our ability to access capital markets. To the extent the COVID-19 pandemic adversely
affects our business and financial results, it may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described in this "Risk Factors" section and
those incorporated by reference herein, such as those relating to our products and services, financial performance, credit rating and debt obligations.
There are no established trading markets for the notes.
Each series of the notes is a new issue of securities for which there is no established trading market. We do not intend to apply for listing of the notes on
any securities exchange or to arrange for quotation on any automated dealer quotation system. As a result, active trading markets for the notes may not
develop. If an active trading market does not develop or is not maintained for a series of notes, the market price and liquidity of such notes may be
adversely affected. In that case, you may not be able to sell your notes at a particular time or at a favorable price.
The notes are structurally subordinated to the indebtedness of our subsidiaries.
The notes are obligations exclusively of Hewlett Packard Enterprise and not of any of our subsidiaries. Most of our assets are owned through our
subsidiaries, and we depend on distributions of cash flow and earnings from our subsidiaries in order to meet our payment obligations under the notes and
our other debt obligations. Our

S-7
Table of Contents
subsidiaries are separate legal entities that have no obligation to pay any amounts due under the notes or to make any funds available therefor, whether by
dividends, loans or other payments. Except to the extent we are a creditor with recognized claims against our subsidiaries, all claims of creditors (including
trade creditors) and holders of preferred stock, if any, of our subsidiaries will have priority with respect to the assets of such subsidiaries over our claims
(and therefore the claims of our creditors, including holders of the notes). Consequently, the notes will be structurally subordinated to all liabilities of our
existing subsidiaries and any subsidiaries that we may in the future acquire or establish.
Failure to maintain a satisfactory credit rating could adversely affect our liquidity, capital position, borrowing costs and access to capital markets.
We currently maintain investment grade credit ratings with Moody's Investors Service, S&P Global Ratings and Fitch Ratings. Despite these investment
grade credit ratings, any future downgrades could increase the cost of borrowing under any indebtedness we may incur, reduce market capacity for our
commercial paper or require the posting of additional collateral under our derivative contracts. Additionally, increased borrowing costs, including those
arising from a credit rating downgrade, can potentially reduce the competitiveness of our financing business. There can be no assurance that we will be
able to maintain our credit ratings, and any additional actual or anticipated changes or downgrades in our credit ratings, including any announcement that
our ratings are under review for a downgrade, may have a negative impact on our liquidity, capital position and access to capital markets and could affect
the market value of the notes. Also, our credit ratings may not reflect the potential impact of risks related to the terms of the notes or other factors related to
the value of the notes.
Our substantial debt exposes us to certain risks.
As of January 31, 2020, on an as adjusted basis giving effect to the issuance and sale of the notes, our total debt would have been approximately
$16.109 billion, and we would have had up to an expected additional $4.75 billion of borrowings available under our revolving credit facility. Despite our
current level of debt, we and our subsidiaries may be able to incur significant additional debt, including secured debt, in the future.
https://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1645590/000119312520100700/d909821d424b2.htm[4/8/2020 8:59:19 AM]

424B2
Our high degree of debt could have important consequences, including:

·
making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to the notes;

·
increasing our vulnerability to adverse economic or industry conditions;

·
requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations to payments on our debt, thereby reducing the availability of

our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures and other general corporate purposes;

·
increasing our vulnerability to, and limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business or the industry in which we

operate;

·
exposing us to the risk of increased interest rates as our outstanding floating rate notes and borrowings under our revolving credit facility are

subject to variable rates of interest;

·
placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to our competitors that have less debt; and

·
limiting our ability to borrow additional funds.
If new debt is added to our and our subsidiaries' current debt levels, the related risks that we and they face would be increased, and we may not be able to
meet all our debt obligations, including repayment of the notes, in whole or in part.

S-8
Table of Contents
We may not be able to generate sufficient cash from operations to service our debt.
Our ability to make payments on, and to refinance, our debt and to fund planned capital expenditures will depend on our ability to generate cash in the
future and our ability to borrow under our revolving credit facility to the extent of available borrowings. This, to a certain extent, is subject to general
economic, financial, competitive, legislative, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. We could experience decreased revenues from our
operations and could fail to generate sufficient cash to fund our liquidity needs or fail to satisfy the covenants and borrowing limitations to which we are
subject under our debt instruments. We cannot assure you, however, that our business will generate sufficient cash flow from operations or that future
borrowings will be available to us under the revolving credit facility or otherwise in an amount sufficient to enable us to pay our debt or to fund our other
liquidity needs. We may need to refinance all or a portion of our debt on or before the maturity thereof. We cannot assure you that we will be able to
refinance any of our debt on commercially reasonable terms or at all. If we cannot service our debt, we may have to take actions such as selling assets,
selling equity or reducing or delaying capital expenditures, strategic acquisitions, investments and alliances. We cannot assure you that any such actions, if
necessary, could be effected on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
If we default on our obligations to pay our other debt, we may not be able to make payments on the notes.
Any default under the agreements governing our debt, including a default under our revolving credit facility, that is not waived by the required lenders or
holders of such debt, and the remedies sought by the holders of such debt could prevent us from paying principal and interest on the notes and substantially
decrease the market value of the notes. If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow or are otherwise unable to obtain funds necessary to meet required
payments or principal and interest on our debt, or if we otherwise fail to comply with the various covenants in the agreements governing our debt,
including the covenants contained in our revolving credit facility, we would be in default under the terms of the agreements governing such debt.
The notes will be subject to a change of control provision, and we may not have the ability to raise the funds necessary to fulfill our obligations under
the notes following a Change of Control Repurchase Event.
Under the indenture, upon the occurrence of a defined Change of Control Repurchase Event, we will be required to offer to repurchase all outstanding
notes at 101% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of repurchase. However, we may not have sufficient funds at the
time of the Change of Control Repurchase Event to make the required repurchase of the notes. Our failure to make or complete a change of control offer
would place us in default under the indenture governing the notes. However, we cannot assure you that we would be able to repay such debt at such time.
Optional redemption may adversely affect your return on the notes.
We have the right to redeem some or all of the notes prior to maturity. We may redeem the notes at times when prevailing interest rates may be relatively
low. Accordingly, you may not be able to reinvest the redemption proceeds in comparable securities at effective interest rates as high as those of the notes.

DESCRIPTION OF THE NOTES
The notes will be issued under an Indenture dated as of October 9, 2015 (the "Base Indenture"), and supplemented by one or more supplemental
indentures with respect to the notes to be dated the delivery date of the notes (each of which supplemental indenture we refer to as a "Supplemental
Indenture" and, together with the Base Indenture, as the "Indenture"), in each case, between Hewlett Packard Enterprise and The Bank of New York

Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee").
The following "Description of the Notes" is a summary of the material terms of the Indenture and the notes. You should read the Indenture and the notes
for more details regarding our obligations and your rights with respect to the notes because they and not this "Description of the Notes" define your rights
as holders of the notes. In this "Description of the Notes," all references to "Hewlett Packard Enterprise," "HPE," "we," "our" and "us" mean Hewlett
Packard Enterprise Company only and the term "securities" refers to all securities issuable from time to time under the Base Indenture, including
securities that may be issued before or after the initial issuance and sale of the notes.
General
We are issuing $1,250,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2023 notes. The 2023 notes will mature on October 2, 2023. Interest on the 2023 notes will
accrue at the rate of 4.450% per annum.
We are issuing $1,000,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 2024 notes. The 2024 notes will mature on October 1, 2024. Interest on the 2024 notes will
accrue at the rate of 4.650% per annum.
The 2023 notes and the 2024 notes are collectively referred to as the notes.
All the securities, including the notes, to be issued under the Indenture will be our senior unsecured obligations and will rank on the same basis with all of
our other senior unsecured indebtedness from time to time outstanding. Each series of the notes will be a separate series of senior debt securities under the
Indenture. The Indenture does not limit the aggregate principal amount of securities that may be issued under the Indenture. Without the consent of the
holders, we may increase the aggregate principal amount of the notes of any series in the future on the same terms and conditions (except for issuance date,
price and, in some cases, the initial interest payment date) as the notes of that series being offered hereby. Securities may be issued under the Indenture
from time to time as a single series or in two or more separate series up to the aggregate principal amount authorized by us from time to time for the notes
of any series. Additional notes of a series may only bear the same CUSIP number if they would be fungible for United States federal tax purposes with the
existing notes of that series.
If the maturity date of any notes falls on a day that is not a Business Day, payment of principal, premium, if any, and interest for such notes then due will
be paid on the next Business Day. No interest on that payment will accrue from and after the maturity date. Payments of principal, premium, if any, and
interest on the notes will be made by us through the Trustee to the depositary. Each series of notes will be issued in the form of one or more fully registered
global securities in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. See "Description of the Debt Securities--Global
Securities" in the accompanying prospectus.
Interest
We will make interest payments on the 2023 notes at the annual rate of interest set forth above semi-annually in arrears on April 2 and October 2 of each
year, beginning on October 2, 2020, and on the 2024 notes at the annual rate of interest set forth above semi-annually in arrears on April 1 and October 1 of
each year, beginning on October 1, 2020, in each case to the person in whose name the notes are registered at the close of business on the 15th calendar day
(whether or not a Business Day) immediately preceding the related interest payment date. Interest on the notes will accrue from and including April 9, 2020
to, but excluding, the first interest payment

date and then from and including the immediately preceding interest payment date to which interest has been paid or duly provided for to, but excluding,
the next interest payment date or maturity date, as the case may be. Interest on the notes will be paid on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve
30-day months. If an interest payment date on the notes falls on a date that is not a Business Day, the related payment of interest shall be made on the next
succeeding Business Day as if made on the date the payment was due, and no interest on such payment shall accrue for the period from and after such
interest payment date to the date of such payment on the next succeeding Business Day.
Redemption
Optional Redemption
Prior to the applicable Par Call Date, each series of notes will be redeemable in whole at any time or in part from time to time, at our option, at a
redemption price as calculated by us equal to the greater of:

·
100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed; and

·
the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon that would be due if the notes to be
redeemed matured on the applicable Par Call Date (exclusive of interest accrued to the date of redemption), discounted to the date of

redemption on a semi-annual basis (assuming a 360-day year consisting of twelve 30-day months) at the then current Treasury Rate plus 50
