(1) The registration fee is transferred from the registration fee paid in connection with the Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-87742), filed on May 7, 2002, for shares registered for the Compaq Computer Corporation 401(k) Investment Plan.
The purpose of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 5 (the “Amendment”) to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed by Hewlett-Packard Company, a Delaware corporation (the “Registrant”), and the Hewlett-Packard Company Tax Saving Capital Accumulation Plan (“TAXCAP”), is to reflect a name change from TAXCAP to the Hewlett-Packard Company 401(k) Plan (the “Plan”), effective January 1, 2004, and to reflect an increase of 9,500,000 shares under this Amendment as such shares are being transferred from Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 333-87742), filed on May 7, 2002, pursuant to the merger of the Compaq Computer Corporation 401(k) Investment Plan into the Plan. Hewlett-Packard Company is the “named fiduciary,” the “administrator” and the “plan sponsor” of the Plan.
Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.
The Registrant hereby incorporates by reference into this Registration Statement the following documents previously filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”):
|
(a) The Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2004 filed with the Commission on January 14, 2005 pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”); |
|
(b) All other reports filed pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act since the end of the fiscal year covered by the Registrant’s Annual Report referred to in (a) above; and |
|
(c) The description of the Registrant’s common stock contained in our Registration Statement on Form 8-A, and any amendment or report filed with the Commission for the purposes of updating such description. |
All reports and definitive proxy or information statements filed pursuant to Section 13(a), 13(c), 14 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, after the date of this Registration Statement and prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment which indicates that all securities offered hereby have been sold or which de-registers all securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement and to be a part hereof from the date of filing such documents. Unless expressly incorporated into this Registration Statement, a report furnished on Form 8-K shall not be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement. Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained in any subsequently filed document which also is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement.
Item 4. Description of Securities.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.
Not applicable.
Item 6. Indemnifications of Directors and Officers.
Section 145 of the General Corporation Law of the State of Delaware authorizes a court to award or a corporation’s board of directors to grant indemnification to directors and officers in terms that are sufficiently broad to permit indemnification under certain circumstances for liabilities (including reimbursement for expenses incurred) arising under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Our certificate of incorporation contains a provision eliminating the personal liability of our directors to HP or its shareowners for breach of fiduciary duty as a director to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law. Our bylaws provide for the mandatory indemnification of our directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law. Our bylaws also provide:
| (i) |
that we may expand the scope of the indemnification by individual contracts with our directors and officers, and |
| (ii) |
that we shall not be required to indemnify any director or officer unless the indemnification is required by law, if the proceeding in which indemnification is sought was brought by a director or officer, it was authorized in advance by our board of directors, the indemnification is provided by us, in our sole discretion pursuant to powers vested in us under the Delaware law, or the indemnification is required by individual contract. |
In addition, our bylaws give us the power to indemnify our employees and agents to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware law.
Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.
Not applicable.

Item 9. Undertakings.
| A. | The undersigned hereby undertakes: |
| (1) | to file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement: |
| (i) | to include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act; |
| (ii) | to reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement—notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective Registration Statement; and |
| (iii) | to include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement; |
| provided, however, that clauses (1)(i) and (1)(ii) shall not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those clauses is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement; |
| (2) | that, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof; and |
| (3) | to remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering. |
| B. | The Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. |
| C. | Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers or controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the indemnification provisions summarized in Item 6, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that, in the opinion of the Commission, such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue. |
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, Registrant certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 5 on Form S-8 and has duly caused this registration statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the city of Palo Alto, state of California, on this 25th day of April, 2005.
