Robbins Geller Rudman & Dowd LLP, Girard Sharp LLP, and The Hall Law Firm, Ltd. Announce Pendency of Class Action in the DXC Litigation

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”). The Notice Administrator’s contact information is:

  • Who is Included in the Class? You are a Class member if you acquired DXC common stock in direct exchange for CSC securities pursuant to the Offering Materials issued in connection with the April 1, 2017 Merger Exchange. Excluded from the Class are Defendants and their families; the officers, directors, and affiliates of Defendants, at all relevant times; members of Defendants’ immediate families and their legal representatives, heirs, successors, or assigns; and any entity in which Defendants have or had a controlling interest.
  • What are my Rights and Options? If you are a Class member, by doing nothing you will keep the possibility of getting money or benefits, if any, from this Litigation. If you stay in the Class and Plaintiffs obtain money or benefits for the Class, you will be notified about how to apply for a share. By staying in the Class, you will also be legally bound by all orders the Court issues and the judgment the Court makes in this Litigation. If you do nothing now, regardless of whether Plaintiffs win or lose, you will give up your right to sue or continue to sue Defendants as part of any other lawsuit about the same legal claims, or those that could have been brought, in this lawsuit.
  • If you do not want to be a member of the Class, you must opt out pursuant to the instructions below. If you opt out of the Class, you may not be able to assert individual claims asserting securities law violations against Defendants, as such claims may no longer be timely. It will be for you to decide whether to pursue any individual lawsuit, claim, or remedy that you may have at your own expense. You are encouraged to seek legal advice concerning the potential impact of opting out on your legal rights, including to determine if your claims would be barred by the applicable statutes of limitation or repose.

Your request must contain the following information: (a) your name, telephone number, email address, and mailing address; (b) your statement that you believe you are a Class member and you wish to be excluded from the Class; (c) the name and docket number of this case: In re HPE Enterprise Services – DXC Technology Co.
