On January 6, 2010, the following letter was mailed to 3Com Corporation stockholders who had not yet voted on the proposed transaction between 3Com Corporation and Hewlett-Packard Company.

December 31, 2009

Dear Fellow Stockholder:

We are writing to remind you that the Special Meeting of Stockholders of 3Com Corporation is scheduled for January 26, 2010 at 10 a.m. local time, at our headquarters, 350 Campus Drive, Marlborough, Massachusetts 01752-3064.

Our records indicate that as of December 9, 2009 (the record date for the Meeting), you held shares of 3Com Corporation and, therefore, you are entitled to vote on the matters set forth on the proxy card. Our records indicate that we have not yet received your vote.

REMEMBER: Your vote is important, no matter how large or small your holdings may be. We cannot complete the merger unless the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of common stock that are entitled to vote at the special meeting vote in favor of the proposal to adopt the merger agreement. The failure of any stockholder to vote on the proposal to adopt the merger agreement will have the same effect as a vote against the proposal to adopt the merger agreement.

Voting promptly will help reduce solicitation costs and will eliminate your receiving follow-up phone calls or mailings. Your vote can be cast quickly and easily by signing, dating and mailing the proxy card in the postage-paid return envelope previously provided to you with proxy materials for this meeting. You may also vote by telephone or Internet by following the instructions on your proxy card.

If you have any questions or need any assistance voting your proxy, please call Georgeson Inc., our proxy solicitor, toll-free at 866-432-2786.

Thank you in advance for your participation and your consideration in this extremely important matter.

Sincerely,

Neal D. Goldman
Secretary
