Routine preferred dividend declared at the established quarterly rate

This is a routine confirmation, not a new earnings signal. HPE declared the same $0.953125-per-share cash dividend on its 7.625% Series C mandatory convertible preferred stock that it paid for the prior quarterly period, making the event broadly expected rather than a surprise.

The filing delivers no change in payout policy or financial outlook. The dividend is payable September 1, 2026, to holders of record August 15, 2026, and remains subject to board declaration and legally available funds (Dividend declaration). The amount matches the preferred stock's established annual rate and payment structure, so it does not reshape the investment picture.
