A just rec'd CPQ e-mail: Dear MICHAEL, As you may know, Compaq Computer Corporation and the Hewlett-Packard Co. have announced a definitive agreement to merge companies. Michael Capellas, Compaq's current Chief Executive Officer, will serve as president of the new company. We want you as a valued Compaq customer to feel confident that your purchase of any Compaq products, including our Presario and iPAQ product lines, will continue to provide the same quality, reliability, warranty and customer support that you expect and deserve. As we move ahead with this merger, we can assure you that all current and future plans will be predicated on a few, simple principles: > Customers come first > Provide the most innovative and useful technology at an outstanding value > Fulfill all commitments to support products throughout their lifecycles and beyond as customer needs dictate No two companies are doing more to innovate in the PC arena than Compaq and HP. Through world-class design and engineering, we will lead the next generation of innovative PC and access products. Compaq and HP are also the leading innovators around the Pocket PC platform, which will result in even greater innovation focused on handheld and wireless solutions. As a result of this merger, you can continue to expect to receive the same high quality and reliability you have grown to expect from Compaq, the same commitment to delivering the best technology available, a better selection of end to end products to meet your technology needs, protection of your technology investments and better service and support than ever before. All customer commitments made by Compaq -- including contracts and product and services warranties -- will be honored according to their terms, both prior to and subsequent to the completion of the announced merger with Hewlett-Packard Co. Thank you for your continued confidence in our people, products, and future services. We are committed to do everything it takes to help you achieve all the benefits from Compaq today and tomorrow. Sincerely, Mike Winkler Executive Vice President Global Business Units
