Re: Hewlett-Packard Company
Preliminary Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A
Filed on January 12, 2010
File No. 001-04423
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Attached for electronic filing with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission is a preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A for Hewlett-Packard Company (“HP”).
Please contact me if you have any questions or comments about this filing. It is our intention to file the definitive proxy statement and commence mailing on or about January 26, 2010.
Pursuant to Instruction 5 to Item 10 of Schedule 14A, please be advised that HP intends to register the shares of HP common stock to be issued under the Amended and Restated Hewlett-Packard Company 2004 Stock Incentive Plan under the Securities Act prior to awards being issued under the plan. HP does not intend to register under the Securities Act the stock options to be granted under the plan as such registration is not required.
Very truly yours, | |
