Completion of Separation

Under the terms of the separation agreements, on May 31, 2018, stockholders who held DXC common stock at the close of business on May 25, 2018 (the “Record Date”), received a distribution of one share of Perspecta common stock for every two shares of DXC common stock held as of the Record Date.

Perspecta shares will begin trading regular way on the NYSE today while regular way trading in DXC shares beginning today will not include the right to receive a distribution of Perspecta shares.
