In connection with the 2021 Plan, the Registrant previously filed with the Commission a registration statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-272379) on June 2, 2023, a registration statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-265378) on June 2, 2022, a registration statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-255839) on May 6, 2021, and two registration statements on Form S-8 POS (Registration Nos. 333-217152 and 333-207671) on May 6, 2021 (collectively, the “Prior Registration Statements”). In accordance with General Instruction E to Form S-8, the Registrant hereby incorporates by reference the contents of the Prior Registration Statements, except to the extent supplemented, superseded or modified by the specific information set forth below or the specific exhibits attached hereto.

The Registrant hereby incorporates by reference into this Registration Statement the following documents previously filed by the Registrant with the Commission:

(a) The Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2023 filed with the Commission on December 22, 2023 pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”);

All reports and definitive proxy or information statements filed pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act subsequent to the filing of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which de-registers all securities then remaining unsold shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing such documents, except as to specific sections of such statements as set forth therein. Unless expressly incorporated into this Registration Statement, a report furnished, but not filed, on Form 8-K prior or subsequent to the date hereof shall not be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) authorizes corporations to limit or eliminate the personal liability of directors, officers, employees or agents to corporations and their stockholders in certain situations for monetary damages for breaches of directors’ officers' fiduciary duties as directors or officers, as applicable, in the circumstances therein provided and the Registrant’s restated certificate of incorporation includes such an exculpation provision. The Registrant’s restated certificate of incorporation and second amended and restated bylaws include provisions that indemnify directors or officers, to the fullest extent allowable under the DGCL, for monetary damages for actions taken as a director or officer, as applicable, of the Registrant or any predecessor of the Registrant, or for serving at the Registrant’s request or the request of any predecessor of the Registrant as a director or officer or another position at another corporation or enterprise, as the case may be. Article VIII of the Registrant’s restated certificate of incorporation includes such an indemnification provision. The Registrant’s second amended and restated bylaws also provide that the Registrant must indemnify and advance actual and reasonable expenses to its directors and officers, subject to its receipt of an undertaking from the indemnified party as may be required under the DGCL. The Registrant’s second amended and restated bylaws expressly authorize the Registrant to carry directors’ and officers’ insurance to protect the Registrant, its directors, officers, agents and employees for certain liabilities.

The foregoing description is intended as a summary only and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Registrant’s restated certificate of incorporation, second amended and restated bylaws and the DGCL.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Item 9. Undertakings.
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee Tables” or “Calculation of Registration Fee” table, as applicable, in the effective Registration Statement; and

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to such information in the Registration Statement;



provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that are incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement;

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company

Spring, TX 77389

Re:22,000,000 Additional Shares of Common Stock of Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company offered pursuant to Amendment No. 3 to the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company 2021 Stock Incentive Plan
Ladies and Gentlemen:

I have examined the proceedings taken and the instruments executed in connection with the reservation for issuance and authorization of the sale and issuance from time to time of an additional 22,000,000 shares (the “Shares”) of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company pursuant to the terms of Amendment No. 3 to the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company 2021 Stock Incentive Plan (together, with Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 to the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company 2021 Stock Incentive Plan and the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company 2021 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended from time to time, the “Plan”). The Shares are the subject of a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (the “Registration Statement”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), which is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and to which this opinion is to be attached as an exhibit.

Upon the basis of such examination, I am of the opinion that the Shares, when issued and sold pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in the Plan and against payment therefor, and when the Registration Statement has become effective under the Act, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

You are further advised that I consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Registration Statement.

Very truly yours,
/s/ David Antczak
David Antczak
Senior Vice President, General Counsel
and Corporate Secretary
