<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">SAN JOSE, Calif. &#151; May&nbsp;15, 2018 &#151; Western Digital<SUP STYLE="font-size:85%; vertical-align:top"> </SUP>Corp. (NASDAQ: WDC) (&#147;Western
Digital&#148; or the &#147;company&#148;) today announced that it has successfully priced $2.455&nbsp;billion of new U.S. dollar-denominated term <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">B-4</FONT> loans at an interest rate of LIBOR + 1.75%, which priced 25
basis points lower than its previous term <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">B-3</FONT> loans issued in November 2017. This new financing marks the company&#146;s fourth successful repricing of U.S. dollar-denominated term B loans since issuing its
original term B loans in connection with its acquisition of SanDisk Corporation in May 2016. In connection with this transaction, Western Digital settled the previous U.S. dollar-denominated term <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">B-3</FONT> loans
with the proceeds of this new loan. The new financing is expected to generate annual cash interest savings of approximately $6&nbsp;million beginning on May&nbsp;15, 2018. The new term loans have the same remaining tenor as the previous U.S.
dollar-denominated term B loans and mature on April&nbsp;29, 2023. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The company repurchased shares of its common stock in the amount of
$155&nbsp;million during its third fiscal quarter and intends to repurchase additional shares under its existing stock repurchase program for an amount of up to $1&nbsp;billion. At least 50&nbsp;percent of the repurchases are targeted for the
remainder of the company&#146;s current fiscal quarter. The company has already commenced repurchasing its common stock and the exact amount of repurchases will depend on market conditions. </P>
