**Section 1 — Conflict Minerals Disclosure**

**Item 1.01&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report**

**HPE Company Overview**

We are a global technology leader focused on developing intelligent solutions that allow customers to capture, analyze and act upon data seamlessly from edge to cloud. We enable customers to accelerate business outcomes by driving new business models, creating new customer and employee experiences, and increasing operational efficiency today and into the future. Our customers range from small- and medium-sized businesses to large global enterprises and governmental entities. Our legacy dates back to a partnership founded in 1939 by William R. Hewlett and David Packard. We strive every day to uphold and enhance that legacy through our dedication to providing innovative technological solutions to our customers.

This statement covers the reporting year January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025. On July 2, 2025, HPE acquired Juniper Networks ("Juniper"). Since then, HPE has been integrating Juniper into its global Responsible Minerals Program. This Disclosure and Report reflect consolidated data of both HPE and Juniper from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025, unless otherwise noted.

Unless otherwise specified or unless the context otherwise requires, we use the terms "Hewlett Packard Enterprise", "HPE", "the Company", "we", "us", and "our" to refer to Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company and its consolidated subsidiaries. Terms or phrases that are italicized the first time they appear have the meanings given in Item 1.01 of Form SD. References to our websites and information available through these websites are not incorporated by reference into this Conflict Minerals Disclosure and Report.

**Our Responsible Minerals Program**

HPE is committed to the responsible sourcing of minerals used in its products and expects its suppliers to conduct their worldwide operations in a socially and environmentally responsible and sustainable manner, pursuant to HPE's Supply Chain Social and Environmental Responsibility Policy<sup>1</sup> and HPE's General Specification for the Environment.<sup>2</sup> Both policies contain a section on the responsible sourcing of minerals.

We firmly believe that all people are entitled to basic freedoms and standards of treatment, and we embed respect for internationally recognized human rights within our Responsible Minerals Program. We remain committed to aligning our approach with the United Nations Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, as described in HPE's Global Human Rights Policy.<sup>3</sup> Likewise, we expect our suppliers to uphold and respect human rights, guided by best practice set out in these standards.

<sup>1</sup> HPE's Supply Chain Social and Environmental Responsibility Policy is available at https://www.hpe.com/psnow/doc/c04797673?jumpid=in_lit-psnow-red.

<sup>2</sup> HPE's General Specification for the Environment is available at https://www.hpe.com/psnow/doc/a00143202enw.

<sup>3</sup> HPE's Global Human Rights Policy is available at https://www.hpe.com/psnow/doc/A00001847ENW.pdf?jumpid=in_lit-psnow-getpdf.

------

As outlined in HPE's Supply Chain Responsibility: Our Approach guide,<sup>4</sup> HPE takes a systematic approach to identifying, understanding, and addressing risk. We re-examine and refine our program each year in light of our experience and emerging best practices.

HPE has a track record of working to advance the use of responsibly sourced minerals in its industry, including through its work with the Responsible Business Alliance (RBA) where it is a founding member. The Company has been named by the Ethisphere Institute as one of the "World's Most Ethical Companies" for eight years in a row (2019 through 2026), for "exemplifying and advancing corporate citizenship, transparency and the standards of integrity." We also earned the second highest ranking among 45 of the largest global information communications and technology ("ICT") companies on KnowTheChain's 2025 ICT Benchmark; the top ranking in the IT software and Services Industry category of the 2026 Corporate Human Rights Benchmark, and a high ranking on the 2026 JUST 100 list by JUST Capital as part of the Rankings of America's Most JUST Companies.

Our goal is to improve the transparency of mineral sourcing within our supply chain, while striving to ensure that the tin, tantalum, tungsten, and gold (collectively, "3TG") used in our products have not benefited *armed groups* in the Democratic Republic of the Congo ("DRC") and the DRC *adjoining countries* (collectively, the "Covered Countries"). Ultimately, we aim to improve conditions in and around mining communities in the Covered Countries and other Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas ("CAHRAs") identified by the presence of armed conflict, widespread violence, or other human rights abuses. Because we believe it is important to avoid the economic and humanitarian impacts associated with an embargo of a particular region, we continually review and seek to responsibly source – and do not prohibit our suppliers from sourcing – from the Covered Countries and other CAHRAs.

*Conflict Minerals Disclosure*

**Reasonable Country of Origin Inquiry**

We conducted a reasonable country of origin inquiry ("RCOI") to determine whether any conflict minerals in our 2025 products originated in the Covered Countries, or were conflict minerals from recycled or scrap sources. To make this determination, downstream companies like HPE must obtain and review sourcing information on the entities reported to provide conflict minerals contained in or necessary to the functionality or production (collectively, "necessary conflict minerals") of our products in the form of 3TG. We asked our direct suppliers to provide us with relevant information and to report to us the entities that were providing necessary conflict minerals to them or their suppliers. HPE's supplier social and environmental responsibility requirements, which include responsible minerals due diligence and reporting obligations, are incorporated into contracts with direct suppliers. HPE engages in ongoing supplier outreach, education, and communications, addressing in particular the substance of our responsible minerals policies, and our expectations and objectives with respect to responsible sourcing.

Our 2025 RCOI included:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reaching out to 122 of our direct suppliers to inquire whether they are direct suppliers of materials, parts, components, or products containing necessary conflict minerals ("3TG Direct Suppliers");

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• confirming that 107 of the direct suppliers are 3TG Direct Suppliers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• requiring that 3TG Direct Suppliers use the Responsible Minerals Initiative ("RMI") Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the "CMRT") to collect and provide information from their supply chains to identify

<sup>4</sup> HPE's Supply Chain Responsibility: Our Approach is available at https://www.hpe.com/psnow/doc/a00001852enw.

------

the entities recognized by RMI to be smelters, refiners, recyclers, or scrap processors of 3TG ("3TG facilities"); and, in relation to smelters and refiners ("SORs"), asking our direct suppliers to collect and provide available information on the origin of necessary conflict minerals;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• engaging in regular communication – through email, online calls and virtual meetings – with 3TG Direct Suppliers regarding their CMRTs and addressing questions as necessary;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• analyzing 3TG Direct Suppliers' submissions for completeness and consistency, including sub-tier supplier response rate and adoption of a conflict or responsible sourcing of minerals policy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• specifying any deficiencies or feedback for our 3TG Direct Suppliers to address in their submissions;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• providing further training, resources, and education, as necessary, to support 3TG Direct Suppliers in improving the quality and completeness of their CMRT;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• obtaining acceptable responses from 3TG Direct Suppliers estimated to represent more than 98% of our 2025 spend with such suppliers;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• based on the information provided by our 3TG Direct Suppliers, identifying 241 operational 3TG facilities that may process the necessary conflict minerals contained in the products provided to us;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• encouraging 3TG facilities to participate in RMI's Responsible Minerals Assurance Processes audit program or a similar OECD-aligned, independent assessment program such as the Responsible Jewellery Council's Chain-of-Custody and Code of Practices Program, or the London Bullion Market Association's Responsible Gold Programme when our 3TG Direct Suppliers report any not-yet-participating SORs in their CMRTs;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewing any information available through our membership in RMI on countries of origin or recycled and scrap sourcing for the 3TG facilities; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• engaging an external expert to directly engage with 3TG facilities and review other publicly available information to further assist us in evaluating whether or not certain 3TG facilities may have sourced from the Covered Countries or may source only conflict minerals from recycled or scrap sources.

For 2025, we have determined, with respect to our products containing necessary conflict minerals, that we know or have reason to believe that some of the necessary conflict minerals from 3TG facilities originated or may have originated in the Covered Countries and may not be conflict minerals from recycled or scrap sources.

Accordingly, we conducted due diligence on the source and chain of custody of necessary conflict minerals from these 3TG facilities and have prepared the Conflict Minerals Report attached hereto as Exhibit 1.01.

A copy of the Conflict Minerals Report filed for the calendar year ended December 31, 2025 will be publicly available electronically for a period of one year at www.hpe.com/info/conflictminerals.

## Exhibit 1.01

**Exhibit 1.01**

**CONFLICT MINERALS REPORT OF HEWLETT PACKARD ENTERPRISE PURSUANT TO RULE 13P-1 UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934**

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company ("HPE") presents this Conflict Minerals Report for the reporting period of January 1, 2025 to December 31, 2025 pursuant to Rule 13p-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and associated guidance issued by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

This statement covers the reporting year January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025. On July 2, 2025, HPE acquired Juniper Networks ("Juniper").

as the Responsible Minerals Assurance Process ("RMAP"),<sup>5</sup> the Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the "CMRT"), the Extended Minerals Reporting Template (the "EMRT"), and the accompanying Completion Guides for both reporting templates. HPE is an active member of RMI and participates in RMI workgroups in order to listen, learn, partner, and co-design shared solutions to address challenges and emerging issues in the area of responsible minerals sourcing. Consistent with past years, HPE participates in RMI's workgroups including the Smelter Engagement Team, Multi-Stakeholder group, Supply Chain Mapping Task Force, and ESG Collective Task Force. In 2025, we interacted with RMI, representatives from fellow RMI member organizations, and other business, government, non-profit, and supply chain stakeholders on the topic of responsible minerals sourcing in various forums. At these forums and at other times, we engaged in a series of one-on-one conversations with direct suppliers of materials, parts, components, or products containing necessary *conflict minerals* ("3TG Direct Suppliers") and indirect smelters and refiners ("SORs") to help drive improvement throughout the supply chain. We also met with representatives from peer companies, civil society stakeholders, and RMI to discuss opportunities to continually improve the industry's approach to responsible minerals sourcing. We provided feedback to RMI and other OECD-aligned, independent assessment programs (such as London Bullion Market Association's ("LBMA") Responsible Gold Programme) on opportunities to strengthen the audit protocol and ways to strengthen industry tools. We continue to encourage the overall strengthening of audit program requirements such as enhanced integration of human rights and environmental concerns and increased transparency throughout the supply chain.

Our approach to responsible minerals sourcing prioritizes engagement and outreach with 3TG and cobalt facilities to encourage their involvement in either RMAP or another OECD-aligned, independent assessment program.<sup>6</sup> In line with our previous years' efforts, we also made a financial contribution to RMI funds that enable SORs to undertake audits and conduct risk-based enhanced due diligence. In 2025, we also contributed to a newly established RMI fund designed to support SORs' participation in RMAP+, which involves an enhanced assessment with a broader scope. In our communications with SORs, we encouraged their use of these funds to undertake appropriate supply chain due diligence in accordance with international standards (as described below).

Investing in the social development of mining communities is an important aspect of responsible sourcing. Since 2018, HPE has contributed to KEMET Corporation's Friends of Kisengo organization, a nonprofit dedicated to effectively and sustainably improving the lives of people in the DRC through an integrated rural development program focused on infrastructure, health,

<sup>5</sup> RMAP is an RMI program that uses an independent third-party audit of smelter and refiner ("SOR") management systems and sourcing practices to validate conformance with RMAP protocols and current global standards. The audit employs a risk-based approach to validate SORs' company level management processes for responsible mineral procurement. RMAP has a cross-recognition policy with other OECD-aligned independent assessment programs in order to reduce audit duplication and support the implementation of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance. Currently these include the Responsible Jewellery Coalition's ("RJC") Chain-of-Custody and Code of Practices Program, and the London Bullion Market Association's ("LBMA") Responsible Gold Programme.

<sup>6</sup> 3TG facilities and cobalt facilities are those entities reported by our 3TG Direct Suppliers that are also identified by RMI to be smelters, refiners, recyclers, or scrap processors of conflict minerals.

education, and environmental development. HPE has continued to support the mission of Friends of Kisengo by making financial contributions to support the cost of childhood education for approximately 1,500 children in the tantalum mining community of Kisengo. In 2025, HPE engaged in several cross-sectoral multistakeholder groups, including the Cobalt Institute's Downstream Engagement Group and the US International Business Council's Critical Minerals working group, and maintained its membership in the Public-Private Alliance for Responsible Minerals Trade, a collaborative initiative with peer companies and the U.S. government developed to advance responsible 3TG sourcing in the DRC.

HPE's Responsible Minerals program continues to evolve in scope to identify and address risk across our supply chain, including expanding our minerals due diligence beyond 3TG and beyond the Covered Countries:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In 2022, HPE incorporated cobalt into annual supplier surveys (using the EMRT).

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In 2023, HPE expanded its internal risk assessment criteria to extend to geographies outside of the formal CAHRAs list, with an approach designed to support our suppliers to conduct enhanced human rights due diligence at the smelter level, regardless of the country. Beyond the traditional CAHRAs list, HPE reserves the right to conduct enhanced human rights due diligence on sourcing from other geographies based on a variety of risk factors.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In 2024, we refined our approach and engagement with suppliers around this expanded risk profile.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• In 2025, HPE acquired Juniper and integrated additional suppliers into HPE's Responsible Minerals program under our expanded risk criteria for human rights due diligence at the facility-level.

In line with OECD guidance, HPE works with suppliers to identify upstream supplier risk and develop action plans for due diligence, monitoring, and removal.

**HPE Products and Supply Chain**

Conflict minerals in the form of 3TG were necessary to the functionality or production of our 2025 products (i.e., were "necessary conflict minerals"). The products containing necessary conflict minerals that HPE manufactured or contracted to manufacture during 2025 are: 1) server, storage, and networking products; and 2) certain accessories.

HPE does not directly purchase 3TG from raw material providers such as smelting or refining facilities nor raw materials from mine sites. Due to our position as a "downstream"<sup>7</sup> company

<sup>7</sup> The OECD Guidance distinguishes between "upstream" and "downstream" actors. Upstream refers to the minerals supply chain from the mine to the smelter or refiner, and upstream companies include miners, local traders or exporters, international concentrate traders, and mineral re-processors. Downstream refers to the minerals supply chain from smelters and refiners to retailers and includes companies like HPE; it also includes metal traders, component manufacturers, product manufacturers, original equipment manufacturers and retailers.

------

several tiers removed from raw materials providers, we set robust standards for our suppliers and engage with a variety of industry members, including RMI, to influence responsible sourcing.

**Design of our Due Diligence Measures**

We designed our due diligence measures to conform with applicable portions of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Supply Chains of Minerals from Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas (Third Edition, OECD 2016) and the related Supplements (collectively, the "OECD Guidance"), which is a *nationally or internationally recognized due diligence framework*. The design of our due diligence measures reflects our individual facts and circumstances, our downstream position in the minerals supply chain, and the OECD recommendations for downstream actors with no direct relationships to SORs. This design also includes the use of OECD-aligned independent assessment programs to provide information about SORs.

HPE's design of Due Diligence Measures incorporates the following steps:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;1.**Establishment of strong internal company management systems**, including a Responsible Minerals Policy;<sup>8</sup> a Responsible Minerals Program team with senior management support that reports to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors; a Supply Chain Transparency System;<sup>9</sup> engagement with 3TG Direct Suppliers<sup>10</sup> to communicate and reinforce our expectations with respect to necessary conflict minerals; a requirement that 3TG Direct Suppliers immediately begin transitioning all 3TG supply chains to 3TG facilities listed as participating in or successfully completing RMAP or another OECD-aligned independent assessment program or encouraging their known 3TG facilities to participate in such a program; integration of supplier responsible minerals performance, including response timeliness and quality, into sourcing decisions through the use of supplier Social and Environmental Responsibility Scorecards and feedback during business unit reviews with key suppliers; use of internal performance metrics such as the number of supplier responses received and our progress toward internal goals; and a corporate grievance mechanism that is available internally and externally to report concerns, including those related to the responsible sourcing of minerals. We encourage anyone with a concern to raise it, and provide multiple channels to raise concerns.<sup>11</sup> Reports are confidential and can be made anonymously where local

<sup>8</sup> HPE's Supply Chain Social and Environmental Responsibility Policy and HPE's General Specification for the Environment Standards both contain sections on responsible minerals, and collectively serve as HPE's Responsible Minerals Policy. HPE's Supplier Code of Conduct also includes a section on responsible sourcing, alongside the topics of labor, health and safety, environment, ethics, and management systems.

<sup>9</sup> The OECD Guidance sets forth specific recommendations for all downstream companies to establish a system of controls and transparency over the mineral supply chain: "Introduce a supply chain transparency system that allows the identification of the smelters/refiners in the company's mineral supply chain through which the following information on the supply chain of minerals from 'red flag locations of mineral origin and transit' should be obtained: the identification of all countries of origin, transport and transit for the minerals in the supply chains of each smelter/refiner."

<sup>10</sup> 3TG Direct Suppliers are direct suppliers of materials, parts, components, or products containing necessary conflict minerals.

law allows. We take each and every report seriously, review every concern raised, respond promptly, and investigate alleged violations as appropriate. We also encourage the use of RMI's global, cross-industry grievance mechanism to screen and address grievances linked to SORs present in minerals supply chains. For RMI's grievance platform, any member organization can submit an attributed or anonymous grievance for review by the RMI Operations team and an independent review committee. The managing team compiles the grievances (including those from public sources, such as news articles, reports, and blogs), prepares investigative dossiers on the grievances, supports analysis of such grievances, tracks the mitigation progress, and shares a summary of the outcome with relevant platform participants. HPE has participated in the platform by submitting grievances based on potential concerns raised through various channels, analyzing and tracking grievances, and suggesting opportunities for the platform's continual improvement. HPE assesses its suppliers on their responsible minerals company management systems by commissioning third-party audits of certain 3TG Direct Suppliers to assess conformance with HPE's Supplier Code of Conduct, which includes an assessment on the responsible sourcing of minerals, alongside the topics of labor, health and safety, environment, ethics, and management systems. Beginning in 2021, HPE uses a specialized third-party platform to support supplier data management and verification. We also routinely update HPE's Supply Chain Social and Environmental Responsibility Policy, HPE's Global Human Rights Policy, HPE's General Specification for the Environment Standards, and HPE's Supplier Code of Conduct to align with our expectations and the OECD Guidance.<sup>12</sup>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;2.**Identification and assessment of risks in the supply chain**, including through the Supply Chain Transparency System, the mechanism by which risks are identified and assessed in the supply chain. The system is designed to support the Responsible Minerals Program team in systematically surveying, collecting, and analyzing information relating to 3TG facilities.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;3.**Design and implementation of a strategy to respond to such risks as they are identified**, including assessment of information on facilities' due diligence practices, formulation of a risk management plan, and reporting to senior management. If suppliers fail to meet HPE standards, we engage with suppliers to support their improvement, in accordance with the framework of progressive improvement under the OECD Guidance. We also directly contact 3TG facilities to request their participation in RMAP or another OECD-aligned, independent assessment program and recommend they leverage technical assistance and financial support resources through RMI, including the financial support funds to which HPE contributes.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;4.**Support of industry organizations to carry out independent third-party audits of facilities' due diligence practices**, including through our membership and active

participation in RMI (member ID HPE), the industry initiative that conducts audits and assessments of facilities' due diligence activities. We rely on the RMI program and OECD-aligned independent assessment programs cross-recognized by RMI to determine if 3TG facilities reported by our suppliers are conformant with audit standards. To further the mission of RMI and support the cost-sharing of due diligence throughout the supply chain, HPE contributes to two RMI funds that support SORs with the costs of RMAP audits and the costs associated with RMAP+. We also provide feedback to industry audit programs related to increased transparency and continual improvement.

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;5.**Annual reporting** through this Conflict Minerals Report and in our Living Progress Report.<sup>13</sup>

**Description of Our Due Diligence Measures Performed**

In 2025, we undertook the following due diligence measures with respect to the source and chain of custody of necessary conflict minerals contained in our products:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• compared reported 3TG facilities to the facilities that are listed by RMI as either RMAP conformant or active;<sup>14</sup>

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reached out (either directly or through a third party) to 3TG facilities with unknown sourcing to provide responsible minerals sourcing education, collect information (such as country of origin of necessary conflict minerals related to the supply chain for HPE's products), or encourage participation in RMAP;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• if any 3TG Direct Supplier reported to us a facility for which we had information that identified a relevant concern, then we asked the supplier to investigate whether or not that facility contributed 3TG to our products, and, if so, to take steps to remove the facility from our supply chain;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• supported RMAP through our membership and participation in RMI;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• encouraged 3TG facilities to join RMAP and leverage available financial and technical assistance resources, as applicable;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• asked HPE's 3TG Direct Suppliers to encourage the facilities in their supply chain to join RMAP;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• participated in RMI's grievance platform, which enables stakeholders to share information and resources to address grievances relating to SORs present in minerals supply chains, and regularly provided feedback to the platform developers on suggested platform improvements to drive efficiencies and transparency; and

<sup>13</sup> HPE's Living Progress Report is available at https://www.hpe.com/us/en/living-progress/report.html.

<sup>14</sup> RMI lists as "active" those smelters or refiners that are engaged in RMAP and progressing toward an audit but not yet conformant.

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• proactively considered information outside of the audit program from credible external sources such as government agency and NGO reports.

We reviewed the results of our due diligence with senior management, including the Senior Vice President & Chief Ethics and Compliance Officer. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which, among other responsibilities, is charged with oversight of risk management, financial reporting, and compliance, also received this information.

**Results**

Below we set forth the results of our due diligence as well as our progress toward *DRC conflict free products*. We provide both a snapshot of our total progress as well as our progress with respect to each 3TG metal. Our 3TG Direct Suppliers reported 241 total operational 3TG facilities in 2025, 99% of which (as of the 2026 Cut-Off Date<sup>15</sup>) are conformant with or active with an OECD-aligned independent assessment program, are believed to source from outside the Covered Countries, or are exclusively providing *conflict minerals from recycled or scrap sources*. Additional information on the status of individual 3TG facilities is provided in Attachment B.

<u>Due Diligence Results for 3TG Facilities</u>

Our approach prioritizes engagement and outreach with 3TG facilities, and when we learn of 3TG facilities that are not yet participating in an OECD-aligned independent assessment program, we seek out and consider other credible sources of information on these facilities. Due to our position as a downstream company several tiers removed from smelters or refiners, our direct suppliers often cannot provide information on 3TG sourcing that is specific to HPE products; therefore, our ability to trace 3TG in our products to the smelter or mine level has limits; conversely, as further explained in Attachment B, the reported presence of a 3TG facility in our suppliers' supply chain does not necessarily mean that 3TG from that facility was used in HPE products. Our results, accordingly, may fluctuate depending on the resources and abilities of our suppliers (and their suppliers), the economic leverage we can exercise in a particular scenario, and the quality of information available to us, among other factors. In 2025, we continued to focus on obtaining data relevant to the manufacturing of HPE products, and on requesting HPE-specific submissions from our 3TG Direct Suppliers.

We measure our results in part based on the number of all 3TG facilities reported to us by our supply chain that are listed as participating in, or that have successfully completed an OECD-aligned independent assessment program. Because participation in an audit program, such as

<sup>15</sup> The "2026 Cut-Off Date" is the date by which HPE stops accepting new conflict minerals data from its 3TG Direct Suppliers for purposes of identifying the RMAP status of smelters or refiners that have been identified in our supply chain. If HPE receives additional information from a 3TG Direct Supplier clarifying that 3TG from a SOR is not included in the 2025 products prior to or following the Cut-Off Date, HPE does not include that SOR in its list of 3TG facilities (Attachment B).

------

RMAP, provides us (a downstream company) with a level of assurance of an upstream facility's sourcing practices, we track and report on this participation. Where additional information is available to us as a result of our due diligence or RCOI efforts, we also consider whether any of the 3TG facilities not yet participating in an audit program may nonetheless be providing minerals that are DRC conflict free because they are sourced from outside the Covered Countries or are exclusively derived from recycled or scrap sources. Because many of our 3TG Direct Suppliers continued to submit company level reporting templates, we are unable to confirm whether all reported 3TG facilities are active in our supply chain; we continue to engage with our suppliers to improve due diligence efforts and transparency.

In reviewing the 3TG facilities reported to us, we also consider potential conflict-related and other OECD Annex II risks that may extend beyond the Covered Countries.<sup>16</sup> HPE is aware of credible reports of other OECD Annex II risks beyond the Covered Countries involving certain additional SORs. We are actively engaging our 3TG Direct Suppliers reporting these SORs on removal of the SORs, or requiring them to confirm through HPE-specific submissions that 3TG from such SORs was not used in any products, parts, or components supplied to HPE.

*Attachment A* to this Conflict Minerals Report includes (to the extent information was available) the countries from which the supplier-reported SORs may (but were not confirmed to) have sourced necessary conflict minerals.

*Attachment B* to this Conflict Minerals Report sets forth the name and status of the supplier-reported 3TG facilities.

<u>Progress toward DRC Conflict Free by Metal</u>

We also measure our progress toward DRC conflict free products by mineral. Chart 1 further expands on our results by providing for each mineral the number and percentage (as of the 2026 Cut-Off Date) of all supplier-reported 3TG facilities that were either RMAP conformant or active (or cross-recognized by RMI), and/or that we reasonably believe exclusively source conflict minerals from recycled or scrap sources or from outside of the Covered Countries.

<sup>16</sup> OECD Annex II risks refer to serious abuses associated with the extraction, transport, or trade of minerals, outlined in the OECD Due Diligence Guidance for Responsible Mineral Supply Chains. Risks can be broken down into three overarching criteria: Human Rights, Conflict, and Good Governance.

<u>Participation in RMAP</u>

RMAP is an OECD-aligned, independent assessment program that uses an independent third-party audit of SOR management systems and sourcing practices to validate conformance with RMAP protocols and current global standards. The audit employs a risk-based approach to validate SORs' company level management processes for responsible mineral procurement. The RMAP standards are developed to meet the requirements of the OECD Due Diligence Guidance, EU Regulation 2017/821<sup>18</sup> and the U.S. Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. Facilities that are either RMAP conformant or active are considered participating in RMAP. The RMAP status of individual 3TG facilities is set forth in Attachment B.

**Efforts to Determine the Mine or Location of Origin with Greatest Possible Specificity**

As a downstream actor, we rely upon independent assessment programs to collect and review the majority of the upstream information, such as the mine or location of origin of necessary conflict minerals. Consistent with the key role set forth by the OECD Guidance for a downstream actor like us, our efforts to facilitate upstream mine or location of origin determinations were focused on support of OECD-aligned independent assessment programs such as RMAP.

<sup>17</sup> In 2025, onegold refiner and one tin smelter that were previously listed as RMAP Conformant were removed from the RMAP Conformant list. Additional information from our due diligence indicates that the facilities still source from the Covered Countries. Thus, we have not included these facilities in the progress toward DRC conflict free category.

<sup>18</sup> Regulation (EU) 2017/821 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 17 May 2017 sets forth supply chain due diligence obligations for EU importers of tin, tantalum and tungsten, their ores, and gold originating from conflict-affected and high-risk areas.

------

To determine the mine or location of origin of necessary conflict minerals, or to facilitate such determinations by audit programs, we:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• surveyed 3TG Direct Suppliers during the reporting period of this Conflict Minerals Report using the CMRT (which included questions about the mine or location of origin) and required those suppliers to make similar efforts to survey their supply chains using the CMRT;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• reviewed information obtained through those surveys on 3TG facilities, and any mine or location of origin information if it was provided; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• assessed any information on countries of origin available through our membership in RMI for 3TG facilities (as part of the RMAP audit protocol, the independent auditor makes an examination of the countries of origin and the location of the mine, even if the specific mine or location of origin for these minerals within a given country is not provided to RMI members).

**Steps to Further Mitigate Risk and Improve Due Diligence in 2026**

In our journey to responsibly source minerals used in our products, we plan to continue the activities described in the "Design of Our Due Diligence Measures" section of this Conflict Minerals Report. Additionally, we will continue to explore opportunities to improve our approach and execution to more effectively mitigate the risk that necessary conflict minerals in our products finance or benefit an armed group or negatively impacts communities or the environment. To this end, we will:

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• engage with 3TG Direct Suppliers to update information provided to us and engage potentially new in-scope suppliers to understand our responsible sourcing expectations, including our Responsible Minerals Policy;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• encourage 3TG Direct Suppliers that provided company level information in 2025 to provide HPE-specific information for 2026;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• repeat our request that 3TG Direct Suppliers encourage facilities they have identified in their supply chains to join the RMAP and encourage their transition to exclusively source from conformant and active 3TG facilities, and monitor their progress toward that objective;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• support the development of RMAP, including outreach efforts to encourage participation in the program;

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• strengthen internal and external partnerships to identify and mitigate minerals risks, investigate the materiality and social, environmental, and human rights impact of minerals in our products beyond 3TG, and enhance HPE's due diligence capabilities;

------

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• continue to monitor best practices and work with stakeholders to contribute to the development of novel and impactful solutions in Conflict-Affected and High-Risk Areas; and

&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;• explore opportunities to further HPE's mission to advance the way people live and work as it relates to the responsible sourcing of minerals.

**Attachment A** 

**Countries of Origin**

Based on information available from RMI as of the 2026 Cut-Off Date and additional research by our external expert consultant, we believe that the countries of origin of the necessary conflict minerals from supplier-reported SORs may (but have not been confirmed to) include the following countries.

**3TG Facility List**

This 3TG Facility List sets forth the name, location, and status of all 241 of the 3TG facilities our suppliers reported to us. It is the result of our review of data from several sources, including information reported to us by 3TG Direct Suppliers, obtained through supplemental engagement with certain 3TG facilities, and from RMI. Inclusion on this list is not necessarily an indication that any particular facility supplies materials that are ultimately incorporated into HPE products. In many cases facility information was provided to us for the entire supply chain of 3TG Direct Suppliers, and did not identify with specificity those 3TG facilities believed to contribute necessary conflict minerals to any of our products.
