This Amendment No. 5 (the "Amendment") to the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company 2021 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the "Plan") is adopted by the Board of Directors ("Board") of Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company, a Delaware corporation (the "Company") on February 5, 2026.

WHEREAS, the Plan was adopted, upon receipt of approval by the Company's stockholders, effective as of April 14, 2021 and was most recently amended, upon receipt of approval by the Company's stockholders, effective as of April 2, 2025.

WHEREAS, the Board desires to further amend the Plan, subject to approval of the Company's stockholders, to increase the number of shares of Company common stock available for issuance thereunder; and

WHEREAS, if the Company's stockholders fail to approve this Amendment, the existing Plan shall continue in full force and effect.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Plan is hereby amended as follows:

Section 3(a) of the Plan is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:

*"*3(a)*&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Aggregate Limits*.
