Walter Hewlett sues HP claiming improperly won votes
By Brian Bergstein, Associated Press, 3/28/02
SAN JOSE, Calif. -- The fight against the computer industry's biggest merger landed in court Thursday, as dissident director Walter Hewlett accused Hewlett-Packard Co. of improperly enticing a big investor to back HP's $19 billion buyout of Compaq Computer Corp.

In an unusual move against a company by one of its own directors, Hewlett claimed the investment arm of Deutsche Bank originally voted 25 million shares against the deal, but switched 17 million at the last minute after HP threatened to take future business away.

Hewlett also said HP misled investors about the progress of its plans to integrate its massive organization with Compaq's. He said HP executives lied about their ability to achieve the deal's financial targets without exceeding their prediction of 15,000 job cuts.
