Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) disclosed in an 8-K that on May 13, 2026 it closed the sale and disposition of 13.8% of H3C Technologies Co., Limited (H3C) held by certain HPE subsidiaries to seven purchasers incorporated or formed in the People’s Republic of China, for approximately USD $986.8 million. The transactions arise from Share Purchase Agreements entered on November 17 and November 28, 2025 (previously reported). HPE also expects to close the sale of the remaining 5.2% stake held by certain subsidiaries to Unisplendour International Technology Limited (UNIS) for about USD $370.4 million in the first half of calendar 2026.

Why It Matters
This is a material divestiture: HPE is monetizing its equity holdings in H3C and will receive roughly $986.8M now and an expected ~$370.4M upon the remaining closing, totaling about $1.36B if completed. For investors, the sale affects HPE’s cash proceeds and alters its non-core asset exposure to H3C; it does not report operational results here (no earnings or revenue figures were provided). The disclosure is filed under Regulation FD to inform the market of the completed and anticipated transactions.
