Part I

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS

The information specified in Part I of Form S-8 is included in the prospectuses for the Enterprise Services Executive Deferred Compensation Plan and the DXC Technology Company Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Prospectuses”), which the Registrant has elected not to file as part of this Registration Statement in accordance with the instruction to Form S-8.


Part II

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

 

Item 3. Incorporation of Documents by Reference.

The following documents previously filed by the Registrant with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) are hereby incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement:

 

  1. The Registrant’s Registration Statement on Form 10 (Commission File No. 000-55712) initially filed with the Commission on February 14, 2017, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Form 10 Registration Statement filed with the Commission on February 24, 2017; and

 

  2. The Registrant’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended January 31, 2017 filed with the Commission on March 30, 2017; and

 

  3. The Registrant’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Commission on March 27, 2017.

All reports and other documents that the Registrant subsequently files with the Commission pursuant to Sections 13(a), 13(c), 14, or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment indicating that the Registrant has sold all of the securities offered under this Registration Statement or that deregisters the distribution of all such securities then remaining unsold, shall be deemed to be incorporated by reference into this Registration Statement from the date that the Registrant files such report or document. Any statement contained in this Registration Statement or any report or document incorporated into this Registration Statement by reference, however, shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained in a subsequently dated report or document that is also considered part of this Registration Statement, or in any amendment to this Registration Statement, is inconsistent with such prior statement.

 

Item 4. Description of Securities.

The Securities being registered pursuant to the Plans represent obligations (the “Obligations”) of the Registrant to pay deferred compensation in the future in accordance with the terms of the Plans, which are filed as Exhibits 4.3 and 4.4 to this Registration Statement.

The Obligations are general unsecured obligations of the Registrant to pay deferred compensation in the future according to the Plans from the general assets of the Registrant, and rank equally with other unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness of the Registrant.

The amount of compensation to be deferred by each participant is determined in accordance with the Plans based on elections by the participant. Amounts credited to a participant’s account are credited with deemed investment returns equal to the experience of selected investment funds offered under the Plans and elected by the participant. The Obligations are generally payable upon a date or dates selected by the participant in accordance with the terms of the Plans, subject to exceptions for in-service withdrawals and certain terminations of employment. The Obligations generally are payable in the form of a lump-sum distribution or in installments, at the election of the participant made in accordance with the terms of the Plans.

Participants or beneficiaries generally may not sell, transfer, anticipate, assign, hypothecate or otherwise dispose of any right or interest in the Plans. A participant may designate one or more beneficiaries to receive any portion of Obligations payable in the event of death. The Registrant reserves the right to amend or terminate the Plans at any time and for any reason.


Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel.

Not applicable.

 

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

As permitted by Delaware law, the Registrant’s Certificate of Incorporation provides that no director shall be liable to the Registrant or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director.

The Registrant’s Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws (“Bylaws”) permit the Registrant to indemnify to the fullest extent permitted by law any person made or threatened to be made a party to an action or proceeding, whether criminal, civil, administrative or investigative, by reason of the fact that he or she, or his or her testator or intestate is or was a director, officer or employee of the Registrant or any predecessor of the Registrant or serves or served at any other enterprise as a director, officer or employee at the request of the Registrant or any predecessor to the Registrant. Further, the Bylaws require the Registrant to provide this indemnification.

In addition, the Bylaws provide that the expenses incurred by an indemnitee in connection with defending any proceeding, in advance of its final disposition, upon the request of the indemnitee and an undertaking by or on behalf of the indemnitee to repay the amounts advanced if it is determined ultimately that the indemnitee is not entitled to be indemnified.

The indemnification rights provided in the Bylaws are not exclusive of any other right to which persons seeking indemnification may otherwise be entitled.

 

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Not applicable.

 

Item 8. Exhibits.

The exhibits to this Registration Statement are listed in the Exhibit Index at the end of the Registration Statement and are incorporated herein by reference.

 

Item 9. Undertakings.

 

  (a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

 

  1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

 

  i. To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”);

 

  ii. To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with
 


  the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement;

 

  iii. To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

 

     Provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) of this section do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement;

 

  2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

  3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered that remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

  (b) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

 

  (h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
