Stock. If you were ever an HP shareholder, you may now have shares of HPQ, HPE, Keysight, and/or Agilent – in different accounts. If ever an HPE shareholder, you may now have shares of DXC – and may not have received cash payouts for MFGP and PRSP. Find it all – and estimate your current cost basis: HP/HPE-Related Stocks 

Due to the many complex HP-related stock events, only you – not the company, plan administrators, transfer agents, brokers, or the IRS – can reconstruct your full stock history.

Equity awards, such as stock options and RSUs. In addition to checking your current statement, review the original Terms-and-Conditions documents for expiration dates, vesting schedule, provisions when leaving, and other limitations.

Neither cashing dividend checks, receiving direct deposits, accessing accounts online, nor receiving statements prevents this – only a personally-initiated transaction, postal response, or call. Difficult to retrieve funds – and stock is sold. Easy to check: Unclaimed Property
