Hewlett-Packard has just settled its dispute with former CEO Mark Hurd over his recent move to Oracle for undisclosed terms. By making the move to competitor Oracle, Hurd gave up options on 346K shares of HP stock, which at today’s closing price of $39.39 that means $13.6M in losses. HP currently selling at $39.39 marks a steep dip from the day Hurd was fired; On Aug 6th HP’s stock price closed at $46.30 a $6.91 difference. If you multiply that 2.27B shares outstanding, it means a $15.68B Hurd-related market cap drop for HP. Clearly not the biggest loser here, and having nearly recovered from last month’s particularly messy sexual harassment scandal, Hurd will be joining friend Larry Ellison at Oracle as Co-President. 0 0 1 1 2 2 3 3 4 4 5 5 6 6 7 7Authors: Alexia Tsotsis
