The offering closed on July 17, 2020. The offer and sale of the Notes was registered under Hewlett Packard Enterprise's registration statement on Form S-3 filed on December 15, 2017 (File No. 333-222102). Hewlett Packard Enterprise intends to use the net proceeds of the offering, together with cash on hand, to fund the redemption of the 2020 Notes (as defined below) and to pay related fees and expenses.

The Notes are Hewlett Packard Enterprise's senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of Hewlett Packard Enterprise's existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness.

In connection with the issuance of the Notes, on July 17, 2020, Hewlett Packard Enterprise entered into the seventeenth supplemental indenture and the eighteenth supplemental indenture (collectively, the "Supplemental Indentures") to the indenture (the "Indenture"), dated as of October 9, 2015, between Hewlett Packard Enterprise and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee (the "Trustee"). Copies of the Underwriting Agreement, the Indenture and the Supplemental Indentures, each including the form of Note attached thereto, are filed as Exhibits 1.1, 4.1, 4.2, 4.3, 4.4 and 4.5 to this Current Report and are incorporated herein by reference. A copy of the legal opinion of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP relating to the Notes is attached hereto as Exhibit 5.1.

On July 17, 2020, Hewlett Packard Enterprise also issued a press release announcing that it will redeem all $3 billion aggregate principal amount of its outstanding 3.600% Senior Notes due 2020, CUSIP Numbers: 42824CAE9, 42824CAG4, U42832AE2 (the "2020 Notes"), on August 17, 2020 (the "Redemption Date"). The 2020 Notes will be redeemed at a redemption price equal to the greater of (i) 100% of the principal amount of the 2020 Notes to be redeemed and (ii) the sum of the present value of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest thereon that would be due if the 2020 Notes matured on September 15, 2020 (exclusive of interest accrued to the Redemption Date), discounted to the Redemption Date on a semi-annual basis, plus a "make-whole" premium determined pursuant to the terms of the indenture governing the 2020 Notes and accrued but unpaid interest to, but not including, the Redemption Date.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise has instructed The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as the trustee for the 2020 Notes, to distribute a notice of redemption to all registered holders of the 2020 Notes on July 17, 2020. Copies of such notice of redemption and additional information relating to the procedure for redemption of the 2020 Notes may be obtained from The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A.
