"The investigation determined there was no violation of HP's sexual harassment policy, but did find violations of HP's Standards of Business Conduct." - hum, that is a curious line.

HP seems to have no luck with CEOs. I wonder if they will use this situation to find someone more familiar with the mobile space.

They are in a tricky situation because a the alleged victim will certainly sue the company if she (or he) has not done so already, so if the board admits there was sexual harassment in an internal investigation that will be used against the company.

They state the complaint was from a contractor. This line would suggest that he may have been giving business to them, possibly unfairly.
