(Commission File No. 1-4850)

Two months ago we launched a comprehensive Organization Design & Selection (OD&S) process to select the leadership team for our new company. We assigned Heidrick & Struggles, a leading global talent advisory firm (and trusted partner to both CSC and HPE), to conduct a fair and thorough assessment across both organizations. The leadership selections being announced today draw from both companies, and leaders have been chosen based on criteria such as experience, performance, leadership qualities and cultural fit.

Today’s announcement includes all L2 leaders - those who will report directly to Mike Lawrie, who will be the new company’s chairman, president and CEO - as well as regional general managers, global industry general managers, global offering leaders and other selected corporate roles.

This is an important milestone in establishing our new company. We extend our great thanks and appreciation to the leaders from both CSC and HPE ES for participating in the selection process, and for their commitment to the success of their organizations and our proposed combination.

SUPPORTING NEWCO VISION, MISSION, AND OPERATING MODEL

When the merger transaction closes, NewCo will become the world’s leading independent, end-to-end IT services company, focused on guiding clients on their digital transformation journeys.

As we have communicated previously, the merger is the logical next step in the transformation journeys of both CSC and HPE ES. Our new company will be uniquely positioned to lead digital transformations - creating greater value for clients, partners and shareholders, and presenting new growth opportunities for our people.

To achieve this goal, we have developed an operating model built around three primary motions: Build, Sell and Deliver.


•	We will Build solutions with our partners that answer key market needs and lead digital transformations.


•	We will Sell these solutions to customer and prospects - often with our partners - by anticipating and responding to their changing demands.


•	And we will Deliver these solutions in an exceptional way, on-time and on-budget.

The leadership structure being announced today is set up to support the Build-Sell-Deliver operating model. It also reflects the requirements of our go-forward global footprint, industry expertise, and corporate services structure.


•	Build will consist of nine global offerings, including Industry Solutions (which will be aligned to their respective global industries where applicable).


•	Sell will be led by Mike Nefkens as EVP & GM, Regions & Industries. It will be the company’s primary P&L and will organized into six regions, three vertically integrated global industries and U.S. Public Sector (USPS).


◦	The Sales Organization will be led by Larry Stack, reporting to Mike Nefkens; the regional sales leaders reporting to Larry will be announced in the coming weeks.


•	Deliver, which will be led by Steve Hilton, will be organized by six regional account-specific delivery teams, a network of eight offering delivery and transformation teams, and commercial and restricted delivery centers.

The Build, Sell and Deliver groups will come together seamlessly to enable us to best support our customers and prospects.
