Debt holders receive $599.2M cash and 5.95M Seagate shares as the company retires $600M of 2028 exchangeable notes; $400M principal remains outstanding.
Key HDD suppliers WD and Seagate have both allocated their entire 2026 production output for sale, likely worsening PC component shortages and price rises.
Exchange will swap $600M of Seagate's 3.50% 2028 notes for $599.2M in cash plus shares, retiring the notes and leaving $400M outstanding after Feb. 17.
