This Amendment No. 10 supplements the information set forth in the Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), as amended from time to time (the "Schedule 13D"), relating to the Ordinary Shares, par value $0.00001 (the "Common Stock"), of Seagate Technology Holdings Public Limited Company, an Irish public limited company (the "Issuer"). All capitalized terms contained herein but not otherwise defined shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Schedule 13D.

The information set forth in response to each separate Item below shall be deemed to be a response to all Items where such information is relevant. The Schedule 13D is hereby supplementally amended as follows:

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer

The responses to Items 3, 4 and 6 of this Schedule 13D are incorporated herein by reference.

(a) and (b). Set forth below is the beneficial ownership of shares of Common Stock of the Issuer for each person named in Item 2. Shares reported as beneficially owned by ValueAct Master Fund are also reported as beneficially owned by (i) ValueAct Management L.P. as the manager of each such investment partnership, (ii) ValueAct Management LLC, as General Partner of ValueAct Management L.P., (iii) ValueAct Holdings, as the majority owner of the membership interests of VA Partners I, (iv) ValueAct Holdings II, as the sole owner of the limited partnership interests of ValueAct Management L.P. and the membership interests of ValueAct Management LLC, and (v) ValueAct Holdings GP, as General Partner of ValueAct Holdings and ValueAct Holdings II. Shares reported as beneficially owned by ValueAct Master Fund are also reported as beneficially owned by VA Partners I, as General Partner of ValueAct Master Fund. VA Partners I, ValueAct Management L.P., ValueAct Management LLC, ValueAct Holdings, ValueAct Holdings II, and ValueAct Holdings GP also, directly or indirectly, may own interests in one or more than one of the partnerships from time to time. Unless otherwise indicated below, by reason of such relationship ValueAct Master Fund is reported as having shared power to vote or to direct the vote, and shared power to dispose or direct the disposition of, such shares of Common Stock, with VA Partners I (only with respect to ValueAct Master Fund), ValueAct Management L.P., ValueAct Management LLC, ValueAct Holdings, ValueAct Holdings II, and ValueAct Holdings GP.

As of the date hereof, the Reporting Persons may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of 7,687,070 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 3.7% of the Issuer's outstanding Common Stock. All percentages set forth in this Schedule 13D are based upon the Issuer's reported 207,393,242 shares outstanding shares of Common Stock as of July 31, 2023 as reported in the Issuer's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023.

(c) The following table sets forth all transactions with respect to shares of Common Stock effected since the date of the previous filing to this Schedule 13D by the Reporting Persons, inclusive of any transactions effected through 4:00pm, New York City time, on September 8th, 2023. All such transactions were sales of shares of Common Stock effected pursuant to a block trade with a broker.
