This Amendment No. 3 (this "Amendment") amends the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the "Schedule TO") filed by Hewlett-Packard Company, a Delaware corporation ("Hewlett-Packard" or the "Company"), with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 17, 2006 relating to the offer by the Company (the "Offer") to amend certain options (the "Eligible Options") that have been granted under the Mercury Interactive Corporation Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Option Plan, the Mercury Interactive Corporation Amended and Restated 2000 Supplemental Stock Option Plan, and the Mercury Interactive Corporation 2001 Inland Revenue Approved Sub-Plan for United Kingdom Employees: (i) that were assumed by Hewlett-Packard in connection with the acquisition of Mercury Interactive Corporation, which was completed on November 6, 2006, (ii) that had original exercise prices per share that were less than the fair market value per share of the common stock underlying the option on the option's grant date, (iii) that were unvested, either in whole or in part, as of December 31, 2004, (iv) that are outstanding as of the last date on which the Offer remains open for acceptance, and (v) that are held by individuals who are subject to taxation in the United States.
The Eligible Options may be amended pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in: (i) the Offer to Amend the Exercise Price of Certain Options, dated November 17, 2006, as amended December 4, 2006 (the "Offer to Amend"), (ii) the related e-mail to all eligible option holders from Tom Hogan, dated November 17, 2006, (iii) the Election Form, and (iv) the Withdrawal Form (collectively, the "Offer Documents"). The Offer Documents were filed with the Schedule TO as exhibits (a)(1)(A), (a)(1)(B), (a)(1)(C) and (a)(1)(D), respectively.
The information in the Offer Documents, including all schedules and annexes thereto, is hereby expressly incorporated into this Amendment by reference to all of the applicable items in Schedule TO, except that such information is hereby amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided herein.
Item 11. Additional Information.
Yes. Amendment of your eligible options is considered a repricing of options. As a result, the Company expects to record additional stock-based compensation as a charge against earnings based on the difference between the fair value of the options as of the closing of the offer period and the fair value of the amended option. We will not be able to determine the amount of compensation expense until the closing of the offer period because it depends on the price of our common stock as of the closing of the offer period. However, we have been able to determine that the maximum compensation expense that will be recorded if all eligible optionees accept the offer will be approximately $1.1 million. A compensation expense of this size is not material to our financial statements. (See Section 12)

After due inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I certify that the information set forth in this Amendment No. 3 to Schedule TO is true, complete and correct.
