HP Inc. is the legal successor to companies acquired by Hewlett-Packard (Compaq, DEC, EDS, Tandem, etc.) before the company was split into HP Inc and Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) on Nov 1, 2015.

HP once had a page on their financial website entitled "Q and A," which linked to FAQs giving details for stockholders of companies that HP had acquired. The FAQs are no longer on the HP financial website -- and the FAQs about acquisitions that became part of HPE on Nov 1, 2015 are not on the HPE financial website.

The most recent copy of the HP financial "Q and A" page in the Internet Archive was collected on Jan 9, 2017 -- and it has links to a copy of each FAQ:  https://web.archive.org/web/20190109232600/http://h30261.www3.hp.com/faq.aspx 

The stock in these predecessor companies is no longer traded. The shareholders -- including former employees who had stock or options -- were paid off in cash or stock of the acquiring company at the time of the acquisition.
