2021 Stock Incentive Plan - Form of Performance-Adjusted Restricted Stock Units Grant Agreement (for grants beginning December 2023)

    THIS PERFORMANCE-ADJUSTED RESTRICTED STOCK UNITS GRANT AGREEMENT (this “Grant Agreement”), as of the Grant Date noted above between Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the Employee named above (the “Team Member”), is entered into as follows:

    WHEREAS, the continued participation of the Team Member is considered by the Company to be important for the Company’s continued growth; and

    WHEREAS, in order to align the interests of the Team Member with those of the shareholders of the Company and to facilitate the consistent governance of its internal affairs, and to give the Team Member an incentive to continue in the employ of the Company (or its Affiliates or Subsidiaries) and to accept any ancillary agreements designed to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company that are made a condition of this grant, the HR and Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company or its delegates (“Committee”) has determined that the Team Member shall be granted performance-adjusted restricted stock units representing hypothetical shares of the Company’s common stock (“PARSUs”), with each PARSU equal in value to one share of the Company’s $0.01 par value common stock (“Share”), subject to the restrictions stated below and in accordance with the terms and conditions of the plan named above (“Plan”), a copy of which can be found on the Long-term Incentives website along with a copy of the related prospectus. The target amount stated above reflects the target number of PARSUs that may be achieved if the performance criteria are attained at 100% of the target level performance (the “Target Amount”), but the actual number of PARSUs that vest shall be determined based on the actual attainment level of performance at the end of each Segment. The Plan and the related prospectus also can be obtained by written or telephonic request to the Company Secretary. Unless otherwise defined in this Grant Agreement, any capitalized terms in this Grant Agreement shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the Plan.

    THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:

1.Grant of Performance-Adjusted Restricted Stock Units.

Subject to the terms and conditions of this Grant Agreement and of the Plan, the Company hereby grants to the Team Member the target amount of PARSUs set forth above.

2.Vesting Criteria and Performance Periods.

The Grant is divided into two separate segments, each with a different performance period, as set forth above. One-half (1/2) of the Target Amount (identified above) of PARSUs is subject to service and performance vesting criteria for Segment 1 (identified above), which is two (2) fiscal years, and one-half (1/2) of the Target Amount of the PARSUs is subject to service and performance vesting criteria for Segment 2 (identified above) which is three (3) fiscal years. Segment 1 and Segment 2 are each individually referred to as a “Segment” and are jointly referred to herein as “Segments.”

For each Segment, the Team Member will vest in the PARSUs subject to (a) the Company’s achieving the performance vesting conditions, (b) the Team Member’s continued employment through the last U.S. business day of the relevant Segment, and (c) the Team Member’s compliance with the requirements and conditions provided for in the Plan and this Grant Agreement. Unless the provisions of Section 8, 9 or 10 apply or a severance plan applicable to the Team Member dictates otherwise, the Team Member must remain in the employ of the Company, any Subsidiary or Affiliate on a continuous basis through the close of business on the applicable Segment end date, as set forth above, and the Team Member must be in compliance with the requirements and

conditions provided for in the Plan and this Grant Agreement in order for the interest of the Team Member in the PARSUs for that Segment to become fully vested.

The number of Shares for each Segment that will vest, subject to satisfaction of Sections 2(a) and 2(c), is determined in three steps. First, for each fiscal year during that Segment, the Company’s performance against that fiscal year’s Net Income (as defined below) goal is calculated and the mean average of the corresponding Net Income vesting rates for the Segment is calculated. Second, in all cases in which the certified Net Income performance is at or above the minimum/threshold level of performance, 100% of the Target Amount of Shares for the Segment (i.e., 50% of the total Target Amount of Shares) is multiplied by the average Net Income vesting rate for the Segment. Third, the number of Shares eligible for vesting is increased or decreased by up to twenty percent (20%) based on the modifier rate corresponding to the Company’s TSR (as defined below) performance against the goal for that Segment. The Committee will certify the foregoing calculations within seventy-five days after the end of the Segment.

The number of PARSUs that vest for each Segment will be rounded to the nearest whole unit. After performance for the Segment is certified, any other potential PARSUs for that Segment that did not vest will immediately terminate. The aggregate number of Shares eligible for vesting for a Segment shall never exceed 200% of the Target Amount of Shares for the Segment, excluding the effect of dividend equivalents. No PARSUs will vest for a Segment if Net Income performance is below the minimum/threshold level.

The Net Income and TSR goal levels and corresponding vesting rates will be identified to the Team Member in separate written communication from the Committee. The Committee may adjust any performance goal or criteria to reflect one or more events that occur during a Segment pursuant to Section 14 of the Plan.

(X) “Net Income” means the Company’s Non-GAAP Net Earnings as reported in its public earnings releases, as automatically adjusted to exclude the cumulative effects of the following events to the extent not planned for by the Company at the time the applicable Net Income goal(s) were established: (a) changes in amounts recorded due to changes in applicable accounting standards but only for changes having an effect (positive or negative, individually or in aggregate with other standards changes) of $5M or more on the year’s Non-GAAP Net Earnings and/or (b) changes in the Company’s Non-GAAP income tax rate utilized in calculating Non-GAAP Net Earnings (also termed the structural tax rate) but only to the extent resulting from changes in applicable tax law.

(Y) “TSR” means relative total shareholder return of the Company’s’ Common Stock (inclusive of immediate reinvestment of dividends) against the S&P 500 constituents during the Segment, calculated using the Fair Market Value on the trading day immediately prior to the beginning of the Segment and the Fair Market Value on the last day of the Segment.

3.Benefit Upon Vesting.

Within 75 days after the end of each Segment or, if earlier, a vesting event pursuant to Section 8 or 9 below, the Company shall deliver or pay, as applicable, to the Team Member (or the Team Member’s guardian, estate or beneficiary in the event of Section 8 or 9) Shares or a combination of cash and Shares, as the Company determines in its sole discretion, with a value equal to:

(a)the number of PARSUs that have become vested as of such vesting date or vesting event, as applicable, multiplied by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the date on which such PARSUs vested; plus

(b)    a dividend equivalent payment determined by:

(1)multiplying, separately, the number of PARSUs that became vested as determined in Section 3(a) by the dividend per Share on each dividend payment date between the Grant Date and the applicable vesting date to determine the dividend equivalent amount for each applicable dividend payment date;

(2)dividing the amount determined in Section 3(b)(1) by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the dividend payment date to determine the number of additional whole and fractional PARSUs to be credited to the Team Member; and

(3)multiplying the number of additional whole and fractional PARSUs determined in Section 3(b)(2) by the Fair Market Value of a Share on the vesting date to determine the aggregate value of dividend equivalent payments for such vested PARSUs;

provided, however, that if any aggregated dividend equivalent payments in Section 3(b)(2) above to be delivered in Shares results in a payment of a fractional Share, such fractional Share shall be rounded up to the nearest whole Share.

4.Restrictions.

Except as otherwise provided for in this Grant Agreement, the PARSUs or rights granted hereunder may not be sold, pledged or otherwise transferred. The period of time between the Grant Date and the date the PARSUs become fully vested pursuant to Section 2 is referred to herein as the “Restriction Period.”

5.Custody of Performance-Adjusted Restricted Stock Units.

The PARSUs subject hereto shall be recorded in an account with the Plan broker in the name of the Team Member. Upon termination of the Restriction Period, if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, to deliver Shares pursuant to Section 3 above, such Shares shall be released into the Team Member’s account; provided, however, that a portion of such Shares shall be surrendered in payment of Tax-Related Items, as defined and in accordance with Section 12 below, unless the Company, in its sole discretion, establishes alternative procedures for the payment of Tax-Related Items.

6.No Stockholder Rights.

PARSUs represent hypothetical Shares. The Team Member shall not be entitled to any of the rights or benefits generally accorded to stockholders until the Shares are issued to the Team Member pursuant to the terms of this Grant Agreement and the Team Member becomes a holder of record of the Shares following the vesting of the PARSUs.

7.Termination of Employment.

Except as otherwise provided for in this Grant Agreement or in the Plan or as otherwise determined by the Company in its sole discretion, if the Team Member’s employment with the Company, any Subsidiary or Affiliate is terminated at any time for any reason prior to the lapse of the Restriction Period, all unvested PARSUs granted hereunder shall be forfeited by the Team Member, except to the extent a severance plan applicable to the Team Member provides otherwise.

For purposes of this Grant Agreement, the Team Member’s employment or service will be considered terminated as of the date the Team Member is no longer actively providing services to the Company, any Subsidiary or Affiliate (regardless of the reason for such termination and whether or not later found to be invalid or in breach of employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Team Member is employed or retained or the terms of the Team Member’s employment or service agreement, if any) and will not be extended by any notice period (e.g., the Team Member’s period of employment or service would not include any contractual notice period, common law notice period, severance notice period, or any period of “garden leave” or similar period mandated under the employment laws in the jurisdiction where the Team Member is employed or retained or the terms of the Team Member’s employment or service agreement, if any). The Committee shall have the exclusive discretion to determine when the Team Member’s employment or service is terminated for purposes of this Grant Agreement (including whether the Team Member may still be considered to be providing service while on a leave of absence).

8.Disability of the Team Member.

If the Team Member’s employment is terminated prior to the end of the Restriction Period by reason of the Team Member’s total and permanent disability, the Target Amount of Shares for each then-uncompleted Segment shall immediately vest including any amounts for dividend equivalent payments on PARSUs that vest at termination subject to the condition that the Team Member shall have executed a current Agreement Regarding Confidential Information and Proprietary Developments (“ARCIPD”) that is satisfactory to the Company, and shall not during the Team Member’s active employment with the Company and any-post employment period during which the PARSUs remain outstanding, have engaged in any conduct that is in violation of any agreement with the Company concerning confidentiality of Company information or post-employment restrictive covenants.

9.Death of the Team Member.

In the event that termination of employment is due to the death of the Team Member prior to the end of the Restriction Period, the Target Amount of Shares for each then-uncompleted Segment shall immediately vest including any amounts for dividend equivalent payments on such vested PARSUs.

10.Retirement of the Team Member.

If the Team Member’s employment is terminated more than three months after the Grant Date and prior to the end of the Restriction Period by reason of the Team Member’s retirement in accordance with the applicable retirement policy of the Company, all unvested PARSUs shall continue to vest and payout in accordance with the vesting schedule set forth above , and for the avoidance of doubt, subject to satisfaction of the applicable performance criteria, and also subject to the condition that the Team Member shall have executed a current ARCIPD that is satisfactory to the Company, and shall not, during the Team Member’s active employment with the Company and any-post employment period during which the PARSUs remain outstanding, have engaged in any conduct that is in violation of any agreement with the Company concerning confidentiality of Company information or post-employment restrictive covenants.

11.Section 409A.

This section applies to the extent the Team Member is subject to taxation in the U.S. Payments made pursuant to the Plan and this Grant Agreement are intended to comply with or qualify for an exemption from Section 409A of the Code (“Section 409A”). The Company reserves the right, to the extent the Company deems necessary or advisable in its sole discretion, to unilaterally amend or modify the Plan and/or this Grant Agreement or adopt other policies and procedures (including amendments, policies and procedures with retroactive effect), or take any other actions, including any amendments or actions that would result in the reduction of benefits payable under this Grant Agreement, as the Company determines are necessary or appropriate to ensure that all PARSUs are made in a manner that qualifies for an exemption from, or complies with, Section 409A or mitigate any additional tax, interest and/or penalties or other adverse tax consequences that may apply under Section 409A; provided however, that the Company makes no representations that the PARSUs will be exempt from any penalties that may apply under Section 409A and makes no undertaking to preclude Section 409A from applying to this PARSU. For the avoidance of doubt, the Team Member hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Company will have no liability to the Team Member or any other party if any amounts payable under this Grant Agreement are not exempt from, or compliant with, Section 409A, or for any action taken by the Company with respect thereto. Any payments under this Grant Agreement that are considered non-qualified deferred compensation subject to Section 409A (“NQDC”) and are payable on the date of, or a date that is determined by reference to, the Team Member's “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A) of a “specified employee” (as defined under Section 409A), shall be made on a date that is the earliest of (a) the Team Member’s death, (b) the original specified settlement date and (c) the date which is one day following six months after the date of the Team Member’s separation from service. If the PARSUs or dividend equivalents are considered NQDC and the payment period contemplated in Sections 8 or 10 crosses a calendar year, the PARSUs or dividend equivalents shall be paid in the second calendar year.

12.Taxes.

(a)The Team Member shall be liable for any and all taxes, including income tax, social insurance, fringe benefit tax, payroll tax, payment on account, employer taxes or other tax-related items related to the Team Member’s participation in the Plan and legally applicable to or otherwise recoverable from the Team Member by the Company and/or, if different, the Team Member’s employer (the “Employer”) whether incurred at grant, vesting, sale, prior to vesting or at any other time (“Tax-Related Items”). In the event that the Company or the Employer (which, for purposes of this Section 12, shall include a former employer) is required, allowed or permitted to withhold Tax-Related Items as a result of the PARSUs or the Shares acquired pursuant to such PARSUs, or due upon receipt of dividend equivalent payments or dividends, the Team Member shall surrender a sufficient number of whole Shares, make a cash payment or make adequate arrangements satisfactory to the Company and/or the Employer to withhold such Tax-Related Items from the Team Member’s wages or other cash compensation paid to the Team Member by the Company and/or the Employer at the election of the Company, in its sole discretion, or, if permissible under local law, the Company may sell or arrange for the sale of Shares that the Team Member acquires as necessary to cover all Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer has to withhold or that are legally recoverable from the Team Member (such as fringe benefit tax), unless the Company, in its sole discretion, has established alternative procedures for such payment. If Team Member is categorized as an Officer, then the exclusive procedure for satisfying the Team Member’s obligation regarding Tax-Related Items will be Company withholding of Shares from the Shares otherwise issuable to the Team Member as a result of the award vesting, except as specifically approved otherwise by the Committee. However, with respect to any PARSUs subject to Section 409A, the Employer shall limit the surrender of Shares to the minimum number of Shares permitted to avoid a prohibited acceleration under Section 409A. The Team Member will receive a cash refund for any fraction of a surrendered Share or Shares in excess of any and all Tax-Related Items. To the extent that any surrender of Shares or payment of cash or alternative procedure for such payment is insufficient, the Team Member authorizes the Company, its

Affiliates and Subsidiaries, which are qualified to deduct tax at source, to deduct from the Team Member’s compensation all Tax-Related Items. The Team Member agrees to pay any Tax-Related Items that cannot be satisfied from wages or other cash compensation, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law.

The Company and/or the Employer may withhold or account for Tax-Related Items by considering applicable statutory withholding amounts or other applicable withholding rates, including maximum applicable rates in the Team Member’s jurisdiction(s), in which case the Team Member will receive a refund of any over-withheld amount in cash and will have no entitlement to the Share equivalent. If the obligation for Tax-Related Items is satisfied by withholding in Shares, for tax purposes, the Team Member is deemed to have been issued the full number of Shares subject to the vested PARSUs, notwithstanding that a number of the Shares is held back solely for the purpose of paying the Tax-Related Items due as a result of any aspect of the Team Member’s participation in the Plan.

(b)Regardless of any action the Company or the Employer takes with respect to any or all Tax-Related Items, the Team Member acknowledges and agrees that the ultimate liability for all Tax-Related Items is and remains the Team Member’s responsibility and may exceed the amount actually withheld by the Company or the Employer, if any. The Team Member further acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer: (i) make no representations nor undertakings regarding the treatment of any Tax-Related Items in connection with any aspect of this grant of PARSUs or dividend equivalents, including, but not limited to, the grant, vesting or settlement of PARSUs or dividend equivalents, the subsequent delivery of Shares and/or cash upon settlement of such PARSUs or the subsequent sale of any Shares acquired pursuant to such PARSUs and receipt of any dividends or dividend equivalent payments; and (ii) notwithstanding Section 11, do not commit to and are under no obligation to structure the terms or any aspect of this grant of PARSUs and/or dividend equivalents to reduce or eliminate the Team Member’s liability for Tax-Related Items or to achieve any particular tax result. Further, if the Team Member has become subject to tax in more than one jurisdiction, the Team Member acknowledges that the Company and/or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for Tax-Related Items in more than one jurisdiction. The Team Member shall pay the Company or the Employer any amount of Tax-Related Items that the Company or the Employer may be required to withhold or account for as a result of the Team Member’s participation in the Plan or the Team Member’s receipt of PARSUs that cannot be satisfied by the means previously described. The Company may refuse to deliver the benefit described in Section 3 if the Team Member fails to comply with the Team Member’s obligations in connection with the Tax-Related Items.

(c)In accepting the PARSUs, the Team Member consents and agrees that in the event the PARSUs or the dividend equivalents become subject to an employer tax that is legally permitted to be recovered from the Team Member, as may be determined by the Company and/or the Employer at their sole discretion, and whether or not the Team Member’s employment with the Company and/or the Employer is continuing at the time such tax becomes recoverable, the Team Member will assume any liability for any such taxes that may be payable by the Company and/or the Employer in connection with the PARSUs and dividend equivalents. Further, by accepting the PARSUs, the Team Member agrees that the Company and/or the Employer may collect any such taxes from the Team Member by any of the means set forth in this Section 12. The Team Member further agrees to execute any other consents or elections required to accomplish the above, promptly upon request of the Company.

13.Privacy Notice and Consent.

(a)The Team Member hereby explicitly and unambiguously consents to the collection, use and transfer, in electronic or other form, of the Team Member’s personal data as described in this Grant Agreement and any other materials by and among, as applicable, the Company, the Employer and its other Subsidiaries and Affiliates for the exclusive purpose of implementing, administering and managing the Team Member’s participation in the Plan.

The Team Member understands that Data will be held only as long as is necessary to implement, administer and manage the Team Member’s participation in the Plan and address any related legal or compliance obligations.

(d)Further, the Team Member understands that the Team Member is providing the consents herein on a purely voluntary basis.

By accepting this grant of PARSUs, the Team Member understands, acknowledges and agrees that:

(a)all decisions with respect to future grants, if any, will be at the sole discretion of the Company;

The Company is not providing any tax, legal or financial advice, nor is the Company making any recommendations regarding the Team Member’s participation in the Plan, or the Team Member’s acquisition or sale of the underlying Shares.

The Team Member may be required to report such accounts, assets or transactions to the tax or other authorities in the Team Member's country of residence. The Team Member also may be required to repatriate sale proceeds or other funds received as a result of the Team Member’s participation in the Plan to the Team Member's country through a designated bank or broker within a certain time after receipt.
