A shareholder meeting is scheduled for July 31.

HP agreed to buy EDS for about $12.57 billion in cash in May in a move that is set to double its services revenue. The offer price is $25 per share, which represents a nearly 33 percent premium over EDS's closing stock price on May 9, the last trading day before the company confirmed rumors about the buyout.

Shares of EDS rose a penny to $24.68 in early afternoon trading.
