The following statement is being issued by Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP, Girard Sharp LLP, and The Hall Law Firm, Ltd. regarding the DXC Litigation:

SUMMARY NOTICE OF CLASS ACTION

SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

COUNTY OF SANTA CLARA

 

TO: ALL PERSONS WHO ACQUIRED DXC TECHNOLOGY COMPANY COMMON STOCK IN DIRECT EXCHANGE FOR COMPUTER SCIENCES CORPORATION, INC. SECURITIES IN THE APRIL 1, 2017 MERGER EXCHANGE (THE “CLASS”).

 

A California court authorized this Notice. This is not a solicitation from a lawyer.

 

PLEASE READ THIS SUMMARY NOTICE CAREFULLY IN ITS ENTIRETY. YOUR RIGHTS MAY BE AFFECTED BY A CLASS ACTION CASE PENDING IN COURT.

 

You are hereby notified that your rights may be affected by a lawsuit pending in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of Santa Clara (the “Court”), against DXC Technology Company (“DXC”), Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (“HPE”), Mukesh Aghi, Amy E. Alving, David Herzog, Sachin Lawande, J. Michael Lawrie, Julio A. Portalatin, Peter Rutland, Manoj P. Singh, Robert F. Woods, Rishi Varma, Timothy C. Stonesifer, Jeremy K. Cox, and Margaret C. Whitman (“Individual Defendants,” and together with DXC and HPE, “Defendants”). In April 2017, HPE spun off its Enterprise Services business segment and merged it with Computer Sciences Corporation, Inc. (“CSC”), forming DXC (the “Merger” or “Merger Exchange”). Plaintiffs allege that in connection with the Merger, DXC issued approximately 140 million new shares of common stock pursuant to a materially false and misleading registration statement and prospectus (collectively, with the documents incorporated therein, the “Offering Materials”). You may read a copy of the Complaint here: www.DXCLitigation.com.

The Court has determined that this litigation, titled In re HPE Enterprise Services – DXC Technology Co. Merger Litigation, No. 19CV353132 (Cal. Super. Ct., Santa Clara Cnty.) (the “Litigation”), may proceed as a class action on behalf of the Class, except for certain persons and entities that are excluded from the Class by definition as set forth in the full printed Notice of Class Action (“Notice”). This Summary Notice provides only limited information about the Litigation. The full printed Notice is currently being mailed to known Class members. If you have not yet received a full printed Notice, you may obtain a copy from the website for the Litigation at www.DXCLitigation.com or by contacting Gilardi & Co. LLC (“Notice Administrator”).
