ITEM 5.  OTHER EVENTS

         This Current Report on Form 8-K relates to the merger (the "Merger"),
the effective date of which was May 3, 2002 (the "Effective Time") between
Heloise Merger Corporation (the "Merger Sub"), a wholly-owned subsidiary of
Hewlett-Packard Company ("HP"), with and into Compaq Computer Corporation
("Compaq"), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of
September 4, 2001 (the "Merger Agreement") by and among HP, Compaq and the
Merger Sub.

         At the Effective Time, Merger Sub was merged with and into Compaq
with Compaq continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned
subsidiary of HP. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, as a result of the Merger,
each share of Compaq common stock outstanding at the effective time of the
Merger was converted into the right to receive 0.6325 of a share of HP common
stock. In addition, upon completion of the Merger, HP assumed outstanding stock
appreciation rights and options to purchase shares of Compaq common stock, each
at the exchange ratio referred to in the preceding sentence, and HP assumed
certain Compaq stock plans.

         Following consummation of the Merger, Compaq's common stock was
delisted from the New York Stock Exchange. HP common stock now trades on the New
York Stock Exchange and the Pacific Exchange under the symbol "HPQ."

         The issuance of HP common stock under the Merger Agreement as described
above was registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to
HP's registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-73454) filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") and declared effective on
February 5, 2002, and HP's post-effective amendment to the registration
statement on Form S-4 filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 462(d), which
became effective immediately upon filing on February 5, 2002. The Joint Proxy
Statement/Prospectus of HP and Compaq included in the registration statement on
Form S-4 contains additional information about the Merger. A copy of the Merger
Agreement is attached as Exhibit 2.1 to HP's Current Report on Form 8-K filed
with the Commission on September 4, 2001.

consolidated balance sheet as of April 30, 2002, and unaudited pro forma
