Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

Separation-Related Agreements

On March 31, 2017, DXC Technology Company, formerly known as Everett SpinCo, Inc. (“DXC”), entered into several agreements with Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (“HPE”) and Computer Sciences Corporation (“CSC”) that set forth the principal actions taken or to be taken in connection with HPE’s spin-off of DXC (the “Spin-Off”) and that govern the relationship of the parties following the Spin-Off, including the following:

 

    an Employee Matters Agreement;

 

    a Tax Matters Agreement;

 

    an Intellectual Property Matters Agreement;

 

    a Transition Services Agreement; and

 

    a Real Estate Matters Agreement.

(collectively, the “Separation Agreements”).

A summary of the material terms and conditions of each of the Separation Agreements can be found in the section titled “Additional Agreements Related to the Separation, the Distribution and the Merger” of the Information Statement filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Information Statement”), which summaries are incorporated herein by reference. Such summaries do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the agreements, each of which is attached as Exhibits 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4 and 2.5, respectively, and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 2.01 Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On March 31, 2017, pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, dated as of May 24, 2016 (as amended on November 2, 2016, as further amended on December 6, 2016, as further amended on January 27, 2017 and as further amended on March 31, 2017, the “Separation Agreement”), by and among DXC and HPE, HPE completed the previously announced separation of its Enterprise Services business (the “Separation”), which was accomplished by the pro-rata distribution of all the issued and outstanding common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of DXC (the “DXC Common Stock”) to HPE’s stockholders as of the close of business on March 20, 2017, the record date for the distribution (the “Distribution”), and DXC paid the Everett Payment. In the Distribution, HPE stockholders received 0.085904 shares of DXC Common Stock for every one share of HPE common stock held at the close of business on the record date.

As a result of the Spin-Off, DXC is now an independent public company, and its common stock began regular-way trading under the symbol “DXC” on the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) on April 3, 2017. HPE distributed a total of 141,865,656 shares of DXC Common Stock to HPE stockholders as of the close of business on the record date.

Effective as of 3:01 a.m. Eastern time on April 1, 2017, pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of May 24, 2016 (as amended on November 2, 2016 and as further amended on December 6, 2016, the “Merger Agreement”), by and among DXC, CSC, Everett Merger Sub Inc., New Everett Merger Sub Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of DXC (“Merger Sub”), and HPE, CSC merged with Merger Sub, with CSC as the surviving corporation (the “Merger”). In the Merger, CSC stockholders received one share of DXC Common Stock for every one share of CSC common stock held immediately prior to the Merger. DXC issued a total of 141,298,797 shares of DXC Common Stock to CSC stockholders, representing approximately 49.9% of the outstanding shares of DXC Common Stock immediately following the Merger. As a result of the Merger, CSC is now a direct wholly owned subsidiary of DXC.

Item 5.01 Changes in Control of Registrant.

On March 31, 2017, HPE completed its Spin-Off of DXC, which is now an independent public company. Prior to the Spin-Off, HPE was the sole stockholder of DXC.


The information set forth in Item 2.01 of this Current Report on Form 8-K is incorporated by reference into this Item 5.01.
