On June 25, 2010, Seagate Technology (US) Holdings, Inc. (“STUS”), a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Seagate Technology, gave notice to holders of its 5.75% Convertible Subordinated Debentures due March 2012 (the “5.75% Notes”) and its 2.375% Convertible Senior Notes due August 2012 (the “2.375% Notes”) that it will call for redemption the entire $33,159,000 outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 5.75% Notes and the entire $326,000,000 outstanding aggregate principal amount of the 2.375% Notes. The 5.75% Notes will be redeemed for cash on July 27, 2010 at 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. The 2.375% Notes will be redeemed for cash on August 20, 2010 at a redemption price equal to 100.68% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date.
On and after the applicable redemption date, the 5.75% Notes and the 2.375% Notes will no longer be deemed outstanding, interest will cease to accrue thereon, and all rights of the holders of the 5.75% Notes and the 2.375% Notes, other than the right to receive the applicable redemption price, will cease.
The 5.75% Notes and the 2.375% Notes were originally issued by Maxtor Corporation (“Maxtor”). On June 1, 2009, STUS and Maxtor entered into supplemental indentures pursuant to which STUS succeeded to Maxtor as issuer under the 5.75% Notes and the 2.375% Notes.
