01—Abstract
Summary
Summary of the 8-K/A filed December 29, 2025. Cited figures are marked; the original filing is the authoritative source.
HP Inc. filed this Current Report on Form 8-K under Item 5.02 (Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers) to update a previously disclosed leadership transition.
In its Initial 8-K filed October 1, 2025, the company disclosed that Alex Cho would step down as President of Personal Systems effective November 1, 2025, and remain with the company to aid the transition until December 31, 2025. The filing states that Mr. Cho did step down as President of Personal Systems on November 1, 2025, as previously disclosed. However, he is now expected to remain with the company to assist with the transition until a later date as mutually agreed by the parties.
For investors, the filing is narrow in scope: it reflects an extension of a transition-support arrangement for a departing segment executive rather than a change in the company's leadership structure or financial results. The filing does not report any financial figures.
