This excerpt taken from the HPQ DEF 14A filed Jan 23, 2007.

Harold Mathis, P.O. Box 1209, Richmond, TX 77406 sponsors this proposal.

This proposal is related to the announcement that Mr. Mark Hurd will become our Chairman and CEO in January 2007. The Financial Times said: Since March 2005, when Mark Hurd was appointed chief executive, shares in Hewlett-Packard soared 62% while those of rival Dell slumped 45%. Even during HP boardroom turmoil because of a scandal over its decision to spy on phone records, HP shares remained almost unnaturally calm.

Investors are belatedly waking up to probably the biggest threat: that Mr. Hurd might get caught in the storm. HP shares fell 5% on the morning of September 21, 2006. The fear is that Mr. Hurd, as CEO, was aware of elements of the investigation that were of dubious legality, or did nothing about them when he was made aware. That could raise questions over his judgment, or potentially drag him into more serious investigations by external agencies into the scandal.
