HPE to sell 9% stake in China unit H3C for about $643 million in cash
On November 28, 2025, HPE subsidiary H3C Holdings agreed to sell a 9% share of H3C Technologies to three Chinese counterparties for approximately $643 million in cash. The sales depend on Chinese government approvals and other conditions, and either side can terminate if they are not met by the Long Stop Date, so closing is not assured.
Key points
- Share purchase agreements dated November 28, 2025, with UNIS, Hefei Huaxin Mingzhu Equity Investment Partnership L.P., and Ningbo Yongning Yinshu Venture Capital Partnership.
- Aggregate cash consideration of approximately $643 million for 9% of H3C's total issued share capital.
- Closing requires Chinese governmental approvals and, for the UNIS agreement, approval by shareholders of Unisplendour Corporation Limited.
- Either party may terminate if conditions are not satisfied by the Long Stop Date, 180 days after November 28, 2025, which may be extended once by up to 30 days.
