HPE shareholders approve 22 million more shares for stock incentive plan
At its April 1, 2026 annual meeting, Hewlett Packard Enterprise's stockholders approved Amendment No. 5 to the 2021 Stock Incentive Plan, which increases the shares reserved for issuance by 22 million. The filing also shows all 12 director nominees were elected and Ernst & Young LLP was ratified as auditor for the fiscal year ending October 31, 2026, so the vote expands the equity pool that could dilute existing holders over time.
