**Item 4. <u>Description of Securities</u>.**

Not applicable as to the 2021 Plan in accordance with instruction to Item 4 of Form S-8.

The securities being registered pursuant to the EDCP represent obligations (the "Obligations") of the Registrant to pay deferred compensation in the future in accordance with the terms of the EDCP, which is filed as Exhibit 4.8 to this Registration Statement.

The Obligations are general unsecured obligations of the Registrant to pay deferred compensation in the future according to the EDCP from the general assets of the Registrant, and rank equally with other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Registrant.

The amount of compensation to be deferred by each participant is determined in accordance with the EDCP based on elections by the participant. Certain eligible employees may defer base salary in excess of the Section 401(a)(17) limit of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, with annual minimum deferred contributions requirements and limitations on the maximum percentage of an eligible bonus that may be deferred. Amounts credited to a participant's account are credited with deemed investment returns equal to the experience of selected investment funds offered under the EDCP and elected by the participant. The Obligations are generally payable upon a date or dates selected by the participant in accordance with the terms of the EDCP, subject to exceptions for in-service withdrawals and certain terminations of employment. The Obligations generally are payable in the form of a lump-sum distribution or in installments, at the election of the participant made in accordance with the terms of the EDCP.

Participants or beneficiaries generally may not sell, transfer, anticipate, assign, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any right or interest in the EDCP. A participant may designate one or more beneficiaries to receive any portion of Obligations payable in the event of death. The Registrant reserves the right to amend or terminate the EDCP at any time and for any reason.

**Item 5. <u>Interests of Named Experts and Counsel</u>.**

David Antczak, Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Corporate Secretary of the Registrant, will pass upon the validity of the issuance of the shares of Common Stock offered by this Registration Statement. Mr. Antczak is an officer and employee of the Registrant and holds restricted stock units granted by the Registrant.

------

**Item 6. <u>Indemnification of Directors and Officers</u>.**

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the "DGCL") authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors, officers, employees or agents to corporations and their stockholders in certain situations for monetary damages for breaches of directors' officers' fiduciary duties as directors or officers, as applicable, in the circumstances therein provided and the Registrant's restated certificate of incorporation includes such an exculpation provision. The Registrant's restated certificate of incorporation and second amended and restated bylaws include provisions that indemnify directors or officers, to the fullest extent allowable under the DGCL, for monetary damages for actions taken as a director or officer, as applicable, of the Registrant or any predecessor of the Registrant, or for serving at the Registrant's request or the request of any predecessor of the Registrant as a director or officer or another position at another corporation or enterprise, as the case may be. Article VIII of the Registrant's restated certificate of incorporation includes such an indemnification provision. The Registrant's second amended and restated bylaws also provide that the Registrant must indemnify and advance actual and reasonable expenses to its directors and officers, subject to its receipt of an undertaking from the indemnified party as may be required under the DGCL. The Registrant's second amended and restated bylaws expressly authorize the Registrant to carry directors' and officers' insurance to protect the Registrant, its directors, officers, agents and employees for certain liabilities.

The foregoing description is intended as a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Registrant's restated certificate of incorporation, second amended and restated bylaws and the DGCL.

**Item 9. <u>Undertakings</u>.**

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the "Calculation of Registration Fee Tables" or "Calculation of Registration Fee" table, as applicable, in the effective Registration Statement; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

------

(h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

------

**Signatures**

Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8 and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the City of Spring, State of Texas, on June 4, 2025.

Re: <u>22,000,000 Additional Shares of Common Stock of Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company offered pursuant to Amendment No. 4 to the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company 2021 Stock Incentive Plan</u>

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I have examined the proceedings taken and the instruments executed in connection with the reservation for issuance and authorization of the sale and issuance from time to time of an additional 22,000,000 shares (the "Shares") of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company pursuant to the terms of Amendment No. 4 to the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (together, with Amendment No. 1, Amendment No. 2, and Amendment No. 3 to the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company 2021 Stock Incentive Plan and the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company 2021 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time, the "Plan"). The Shares are the subject of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), which is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to which this opinion is to be attached as an exhibit.

Upon the basis of such examination, I am of the opinion that the Shares, when issued and sold pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and against payment therefor, and when the Registration Statement has become effective under the Act, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

You are further advised that I consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.

Re:&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;*<u>Registration Statement on Form S-8</u>*

Ladies and Gentlemen:

We have examined the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the "Registration Statement"), of Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company, a Delaware corporation (the "Company"), to be filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), in connection with the offering by the Company of up to an aggregate of $125,000,000.00 of deferred compensation obligations (the "Deferred Compensation Obligations") to be issued under the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Executive Deferred Compensation Plan (the "Plan").

In arriving at the opinion expressed below, we have examined originals, or copies certified or otherwise identified to our satisfaction as being true and complete copies of the originals, of the Plan and such other documents, corporate records of the Company, certificates of officers of the Company and of public officials and other documents as we have deemed necessary or advisable to enable us to render this opinion. In our examination, we have assumed without independent investigation the genuineness of all signatures, the legal capacity and competency of all natural persons, the authenticity of all documents submitted to us as originals and the conformity to original documents of all documents submitted to us as copies. We have also assumed that there are no agreements or understandings between or among the Company and any participants in the Plan that would expand, modify or otherwise affect the terms of the Plan or the respective rights or obligations of the participants thereunder. We have also assumed the accuracy of all other information provided to us by the Company during the course of our investigations, on which we have relied in issuing the opinion expressed below. Finally, for purposes of the opinions set forth below, we have assumed that the Plan has been established and is intended to be maintained as a "top hat" plan under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA"), which is a plan that is unfunded and maintained by an employer primarily for the purpose of providing deferred compensation for a select group of management or highly compensated employees.

Based upon the foregoing, and subject to the assumptions, exceptions, qualifications and limitations set forth herein and in reliance on the statements of fact contained in the documents that we have examined, we are of the opinion that the Deferred Compensation Obligations, when issued in accordance with the terms of the Plan, will constitute legal, valid and binding obligations of the Company.
