This excerpt taken from the A 8-K filed Oct 12, 2007. Employee stock purchase plans. Effective
November 1, 2000, we adopted the ESPP. Under the provisions of the ESPP,
eligible employees may contribute up to ten percent of their base compensation
to purchase shares of our common stock at 85 percent of the lower of the
fair market value at the entry date or the purchase date as defined by the
ESPP. The ESPP has a maximum contractual term of two years. As of October 31,
2006, securities authorized and available for issuance in connection with our
ESPP were 23,341,919. Shares authorized for issuance in connection with the
ESPP are subject to an automatic annual increase of the lesser of one percent
of the outstanding common stock of Agilent or an amount determined by the
Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. Under the terms of the ESPP,
in no event shall the number of shares authorized for issuance in connection
with the ESPP exceed 75 million shares.
