Re: Definitive Additional Materials for 1999 Annual Meeting of
Stockholders
Ladies and Gentlemen:
Pursuant to Rule 14a-6(b) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, I am
transmitting on behalf of Hewlett-Packard Company (the "Company") the form of
proxy which will be posted on the Internet by the Company's transfer agent in
connection with the Company's 1999 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the
"Internet Proxy Form").
The Internet Proxy Form provides an option opposite the name of each director
nominee which may be marked electronically to indicate the authority to vote
"For" or to "Withhold" the authority to vote for each nominee, omits certain
information regarding the ability to submit a proxy by phone or by mail and
provides an electronic link to the Company's Financial Online Page for access
to the Company's Proxy Statement and Annual Report. In other respects, the
Internet Proxy Form is similar to the "paper" proxy form filed by the Company
on January 11, 1999.
If you have any questions or comments concerning the above, please contact me
at (650) 857-1501.
Sincerely,
/s/ Ross Katchman
Ross Katchman
Corporate Counsel
