Today, Seagate HDD Cayman (“HDD Cayman”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Seagate Technology plc (“Seagate”), announced that it intends to redeem all of its remaining outstanding 7.75% Senior Notes due 2018 (the “Notes”).  As of the date hereof, the outstanding principal amount of the Notes is $44,496,000.  The redemption will be accomplished in accordance with the terms of the Indenture dated as of December 14, 2010 (the “Indenture”), among HDD Cayman, as issuer, Seagate, as guarantor, and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), relating to the Notes.  Seagate anticipates that the Notes will be redeemed on July 11, 2014 (the “Redemption Date”) at a redemption price equal to the sum of (A) 100% of the principal amount of the Notes redeemed plus (B) the Applicable Premium (as defined in the Indenture) plus (C) accrued and unpaid interest from the interest payment date of June 15, 2014 to the Redemption Date.  The Notes will be called for redemption when HDD Cayman delivers a redemption notice to the Trustee, which redemption notice will be sent to holders of the Notes in accordance with the requirements of the Indenture.  HDD Cayman plans, at the time it sends the redemption notice, to also irrevocably deposit with the Trustee the necessary funds for such redemption and the interest payment due June 15, 2014, in order to satisfy and discharge its obligations under the Indenture upon such deposit.
