Employer Contributions and Funding Policy HP’s policy is to fund its pension plans so that it makes at least the minimum contribution required by local government, funding and taxing authorities. During fiscal year 2023, HP anticipates making contributions of approximately $36 million to its non-U.S. pension plans, approximately $32 million to its U.S. non-qualified plan participants and approximately $4 million to cover benefit claims under HP’s post-retirement benefit plans. During the six months ended April 30, 2023, HP contributed $21 million to its non-U.S. pension plans, paid $13 million to cover benefit payments to U.S. non-qualified plan participants and paid $3 million to cover benefit claims under HP’s post-retirement benefit plans. HP’s pension and other post-retirement benefit costs and obligations depend on various assumptions. Differences between expected and actual returns on investments and changes in discount rates and other actuarial assumptions are reflected as unrecognized gains or losses, and such gains or losses are amortized to earnings in future periods. A deterioration in the funded status of a plan could result in a need for additional contributions or an increase in net pension and post-retirement benefit costs in future periods. Actuarial gains or losses are determined at the measurement date and amortized over the remaining service life for active plans or the life expectancy of plan participants for frozen plans. Retirement Incentive Program As part of the Fiscal 2023 Plan, HP announced a voluntary EER program for its U.S. employees in January 2023. Voluntary participation in the EER program was limited to employees at least 55 years old with 10 or more years of service at HP. Employees accepted into the EER program are leaving HP on dates ranging from March 15, 2023 to October 31, 2023. The U.S. defined benefit pension plan was amended to provide that the EER benefit will be paid from the plan for eligible electing EER participants. The retirement incentive benefit is calculated as a lump sum based on years of service at HP at the time of retirement, ranging from 20 to 52 weeks of pay. As a result of this retirement incentive, HP recognized a special termination benefit (“STB”) expense of $105 million for each of the three and six months ended April 30, 2023 as a restructuring charge. This expense is the present value of all additional benefits that HP will distribute from the pension plan assets. All employees participating in the EER program were offered the opportunity to continue health care coverage at the active employee contribution rates for up to 36 months following retirement, but not beyond age 65 when Medicare is available. In addition, HP is providing up to $12,000 in employer credits under the Retirement Medical Savings Account program. HP recognized an additional STB expense of $34 million as restructuring and other charges for each of the three and six months ended April 30, 2023 for the health care incentives.
