Item 1.01 – Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On January 25, 2023, Western Digital Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), entered into a loan agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) among the Company, each lender party thereto, J.P. Morgan Chase Bank, N.A., as administrative agent, and the other parties thereto.

The Loan Agreement provides for, among other things, a new 364-day delayed draw term loan facility (“Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility” and the loans thereunder, the “Delayed Draw Term Loans”) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $875.0 million. The Delayed Draw Term Loans are generally available to be drawn in a single draw until June 30, 2023 and will be payable on the earlier of (i) the date which is 364 days following the date such Delayed Draw Term Loans are drawn and (ii) to the extent any 2024 Convertible Notes (as defined in the Loan Agreement) are outstanding on the date that is 91 days prior to the date of the maturity of such 2024 Convertible Notes, the date that is 91 days prior to the date of the maturity of the 2024 Convertible Notes, unless on such date the Company has Liquidity (as defined in the Loan Agreement) in the amount of at least (x) $1.0 billion plus (y) the principal amount of the 2024 Convertible Notes outstanding on such date. The Delayed Draw Term Loans do not require scheduled principal amortization payments prior to maturity.

The Delayed Draw Term Loans will bear interest, at the Company’s option, at a per annum rate equal to either (x) the Adjusted Term SOFR Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement) plus an applicable margin varying from 1.750% to 2.625% or (y) a base rate plus an applicable margin varying from 0.750% to 1.625%, in each case depending on the corporate family ratings of the Company from at least two of Standard & Poor’s Ratings Services, Moody’s Investors Service, Inc. and Fitch, Inc. The Company will also pay an unused commitment fee on the Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility of 0.200%.

The Loan Agreement requires the Company to maintain a maximum total leverage ratio, includes limits on Priority Debt (as defined in the Loan Agreement) and requires certain subsidiaries of the Company to provide guarantees under the Loan Agreement to the extent the conditions providing for such guarantees are met.

The foregoing description is only a summary of certain provisions of the Loan Agreement and is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Loan Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
