Summary
Summary of the 8-K filed April 19, 2024. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
HP Inc. filed this Current Report on Form 8-K dated April 19, 2024 to disclose an amendment to its amended and restated bylaws.
On April 16, 2024, the Board of Directors adopted amendments, effective April 22, 2024, that reduce the number of authorized Board directorships from 14 to 12. The change is tied to board turnover: Shumeet Banerji and Subra Suresh are not standing for re-election at the company's annual meeting on April 22, 2024, so each will step down from the Board effective at that meeting. The filing describes the bylaw change as solely a reduction in authorized seats connected to these departures.
The filing contains no financial results, operating metrics, or guidance. For investors, the main takeaways are the reduced Board size and the departure of two directors at the annual meeting. The full text of the Amended and Restated Bylaws is attached as Exhibit 3.1.
