Ms. 45 3. She failed to consult members of the Hewlett and Packard families, plus related foundations, which owned over 18 percent of HP’s stock. 46 4. She agreed to “deal protection” known as a termination, or “goodbye,” fee of $675 million, payable to the prospective merger partner (Compaq here) if deal did not close. 55 percent) as the HP share price and the worth of the merger declined to $19 billion. The fee made it very difficult for HP to abandon the merger or for individual directors to oppose it.
HP again missed projections Fiorina had made, in the third quarters of 2003 and again in 2004. Board members and analysts praised Fiorina as an architect of corporate strategy but wondered about her ability to oversee execution of that strategy. Fiorina refused, however, to countenance employment of a chief operating officer (COO), who could pay attention to details while Fiorina traveled, gave speeches, and developed strategy. At a February 8, 2005 board meeting at Chicago O’Hare Airport, ostensibly a planning session for the upcoming HP Carleton Fiorina at Hewlett-Packard 27 shareholders’ meeting, the board summarily ousted Carleton Fiorina from the CEO and board chair offices at HP.
55 Carly Fiorina and HP won that proxy fight marginally with 52 percent of the votes cast. Walter Hewlett also filed suit in the Delaware Chancery Court, alleging that, in order to get the Compaq merger approved by a majority of the HP shares, Fiorina had engaged in illegal vote buying (from Deutsche Bank) and had made misleading statements in urging HP shareholders to vote for the merger. He lost in his bid to obtain an injunction. Fiorina saw to it that HP did not re-nominate Walter Hewlett for a seat on the HP board.
