Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On June 27, 2022, HP Inc. ("HP") announced that it commenced (i) an offer to exchange (the "Exchange Offer") any and all outstanding notes (the "Poly Notes") issued by Plantronics, Inc. ("Poly" or the "Company") for up to $500,000,000 aggregate principal amount of new notes to be issued by HP and cash and (ii) the related solicitation of consents (the "Consent Solicitation" and, together with the Exchange Offer, the "Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation") to adopt the Amendments (as defined below) to the indenture (the "Poly Indenture") governing the Poly Notes. The Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation was commenced in connection with the pending acquisition of Poly by HP (the "Acquisition"), which is expected to be completed by the end of the calendar year 2022, subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals.

On July 19, 2022, HP announced that the requisite number of consents have been received to adopt the Amendments with respect to all outstanding Poly Notes, which results are based on early tenders in the Exchange Offer and Consent Solicitation. Following the receipt of the requisite consents, on July 25, 2022, Poly entered into a supplemental indenture (the "Supplemental Indenture") to the Poly Indenture implementing the Amendments.

The proposed amendments (the "Amendments") contained in the Supplemental Indenture will amend the Poly Indenture to, among other things, eliminate from the Poly Indenture (i) substantially all of the restrictive covenants, (ii) certain of the events which may lead to an "Event of Default", (iii) the restrictions on Poly consolidating with or merging into another person or conveying, transferring or leasing all or any of its properties and assets to any person, (iv) the reporting covenant and (v) the obligation to offer to purchase the Poly Notes upon certain change of control transactions (including the Acquisition). The Amendments will only become operative upon the settlement of the Exchange Offer, which is expected to occur promptly after the Expiration Date (as defined in the exchange offer memorandum and consent solicitation statement, dated June 27, 2022 and as amended from time to time) and no earlier than the closing date of the Acquisition.

The foregoing description of the Supplemental Indenture does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Supplemental Indenture, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 4.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders

The information set forth above under Item 1.01 with respect to the Supplemental Indenture is hereby incorporated by reference into this Item 3.03.
