 </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Dear Western Digital Corporation Stockholder: </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In October 2023, we announced our plan to separate Western Digital Corporation&#146;s (&#147;WDC&#148;) flash business from our remaining hard disk drive
business pursuant to a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">spin-off</FONT> transaction, resulting in two independent, publicly traded companies. The new company distributed to WDC stockholders in
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">the&nbsp;spin-off,&nbsp;Sandisk</FONT> Corporation (&#147;Spinco&#148;), will hold our&nbsp;flash business. Spinco will focus on delivering a broad and ever-expanding portfolio of flash-based products and pursuing
the emerging development of disruptive, new memory technologies. Upon completion of <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">the&nbsp;spin-off,&nbsp;WDC</FONT> will focus on its existing HDD business. WDC will continue to lead the storage industry in
delivering powerful HDD solutions for high-capacity applications. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">WDC believes that both the long-term potential and overall valuation of its HDD and
flash franchises will be enhanced as a result of separating its current portfolio into two independent companies. Each company will have a strong financial foundation, a compelling innovation roadmap, a sharpened strategic focus and an experienced
leadership team. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:10pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">The&nbsp;spin-off&nbsp;will</FONT> be effected through a pro rata distribution of 80.01% of the
outstanding shares of Spinco common stock to holders of WDC common stock in a transaction that is intended to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">be&nbsp;tax-free&nbsp;to</FONT> holders of WDC common stock (except with respect to any cash received in
lieu of fractional shares) for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Each WDC stockholder will receive a number of shares of Spinco common stock equal to 80.01% of the total number of shares of Spinco common stock held by WDC as of the distribution
date, multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of WDC common stock held by such WDC stockholder as of [&#9679;] Pacific time on [&#9679;], the record date for the distribution, and the denominator of which is the
total shares of WDC common stock outstanding as of the record date for the distribution. You will receive cash in lieu of any fractional shares which you would have received after the application of the above ratio. Stockholder approval of the
distribution is not required, and you do not need to take any action to receive the shares of Spinco common stock to which you are entitled as a WDC stockholder. In addition, you do not need to pay any consideration or surrender or exchange your WDC
common stock in order to receive shares of Spinco common stock. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We expect Spinco common stock to be approved for listing on the Nasdaq Stock Market LLC
(&#147;Nasdaq&#148;) under the ticker symbol &#147;[&#9679;].&#148; Following <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">the&nbsp;spin-off,&nbsp;we</FONT> expect shares of WDC common stock will continue to trade on Nasdaq. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">I encourage you to read the attached information statement, which is being made available to all holders of WDC common stock as of [&#9679;], 2024. The
information statement describes the separation and distribution in detail and contains important business and financial information about Spinco. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We
believe the separation provides tremendous opportunities for our businesses as we work to continue to build long-term value. We appreciate your continuing support of WDC and look forward to your future support of Spinco. </P>

Sandisk Corporation (&#147;Spinco&#148; or the &#147;Company&#148;), a wholly owned subsidiary of WDC. Prior to such distribution, WDC, Spinco and their applicable affiliates will consummate a series of transactions to separate WDC and Spinco,

event of default or bankruptcy. Upon the termination of a Flash Ventures entity&#146;s joint venture agreements, whenever that may occur, the applicable Flash Ventures entity will commence a wind-up process and be dissolved. Net proceeds from the
dissolution will be distributed in kind or cash to us and Kioxia on a pro rata basis based on our respective ownership positions. The applicable Flash Venture entity will continue to operate during the period of winding up. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">WDC also has a joint venture with Unisplendour Corporation Limited and Unissoft (Wuxi) Group Co. Ltd. (&#147;Unis&#148;), referred to as the &#147;Unis
Venture&#148;, to market and sell our products in China and to develop data storage systems for the Chinese market in the future. Pursuant to the separation and distribution agreement, it is expected that the Unis Venture will be minority owned by
Spinco and majority owned by Unis following the separation. The Unis Venture has not historically been managed as a component of Spinco and as such the related equity method investment is not reflected within our historical combined financial
statements. In addition, SanDisk China Limited, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of WDC and an expected wholly owned subsidiary of Spinco following the separation, has entered into an agreement with JCET Management Co., Ltd. (&#147;JCET&#148;),
referred to as the &#147;SDSS Venture&#148;, to own and operate our assembly and test facility in Shanghai, China. The SDSS Venture will be 20% owned by Spinco and 80% owned by JCET. </P>

to Spinco below the level of vice president will be converted to a Spinco award relating to shares of Spinco common stock, and (3)&nbsp;each unvested WDC restricted stock unit (&#147;RSU&#148;) award held by a Spinco employee at the level of vice
president and above (other than any such Spinco employee who resides in China, Israel, Malaysia, the Philippines or Thailand immediately prior to the separation) will convert to both a WDC award and a Spinco award. The number of shares of WDC common
stock or Spinco common stock, as applicable, subject to each converted award will be determined in a manner intended to preserve the aggregate value of the original unvested WDC equity award by adjusting the number of shares subject to such awards
based on a ratio of each post-separation entity&#146;s volume-weighted average stock price over 20 trading days following the separation. The terms of the converted equity awards, such as vesting conditions, settlement dates and method of
settlement, will generally continue unchanged. However, for each unvested WDC performance stock unit (&#147;PSU&#148;) held by a continuing WDC employee, such PSUs will remain in place as WDC PSUs, with the performance measures with respect to
fiscal year 2025 deemed achieved at target performance to avoid distortions associated with the separation and with performance measures applicable for subsequent performance years to be determined in normal course. Further, for each unvested WDC
PSU held by a Spinco employee, the performance measure achievement will be determined based on actual performance for completed fiscal years and based on target performance for fiscal years not yet completed as of the
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">spin-off</FONT> date and such PSUs will be converted into WDC and Spinco RSUs subject to only time-based vesting following the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">spin-off.</FONT> </TD></TR></TABLE>

assembly and product testing, and on service suppliers for providing technical support for our products. In addition, we use logistics partners to manage our worldwide
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">just-in-time</FONT></FONT> hubs and distribution centers and to meet our freight needs. Many of the components and much of the equipment we acquire must be specifically designed for
use in our products or for developing and manufacturing our products, and are only available from a limited number of suppliers, some of whom are our sole-source suppliers. We therefore depend on these suppliers to meet our business needs including
dedicating adequate engineering resources to develop components that can be successfully integrated into our products. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our suppliers have in the past
been, and may in the future be, unable or unwilling to meet our requirements, including as a result of events outside of their control such as trade restrictions (including tariffs, quotas and embargoes), geopolitical conflicts, public health
emergencies or natural disasters. If we are unable to purchase sufficient quantities from our current suppliers or qualify and engage additional suppliers, or if we cannot purchase materials at a reasonable price, we may not be able to meet demand
for our products. Trade restrictions, including tariffs, quotas and embargoes, demand from other high-volume industries for materials or components used in our products, disruptions in supplier relationships or shortages in other components and
materials used in our customers&#146; products could result in increased costs to us or decreased demand for our products, which could negatively impact our business. Delays, shortages or cost increases experienced by our suppliers in developing or
sourcing materials and components for use in our products or incompatibility or quality issues relating to our products, could also harm our business. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We
do not have long-term contracts with some of our existing suppliers, nor do we always have guaranteed manufacturing capacity with our suppliers, so we cannot guarantee that they will devote sufficient resources or capacity to manufacturing our
products. Any significant problems that occur at our suppliers could lead to product shortages or quality assurance problems. When we do have contractual commitments with suppliers in an effort to stabilize the supply of our components, those
commitments may require us to buy a substantial number of components or make significant cash advances to the supplier and may not result in a satisfactory supply of our components. We may cancel or defer outstanding purchase commitments with
certain suppliers due to changes in actual and forecasted demand, which may result in fees, penalties and other associated charges. Such cancellations or deferments may also negatively impact our relationships with certain suppliers or lead to a

third-party components or applications that we incorporate in our products, which could require a product recall. Product recalls can be expensive to implement. As part of a product recall, we may be required or choose to replace the defective
product. Moreover, there is a risk that product defects may trigger an epidemic failure clause in a customer agreement. If an epidemic failure occurs, we may be required to replace or refund the value of the defective product and to cover certain
other costs associated with the consequences of the epidemic failure. In addition, product defects, product recalls or epidemic failures may cause damage to our reputation or customer relationships, lost revenue, indemnification for a recall of our
customers&#146; products, warranty claims, litigation or loss of market share with our customers, including our original equipment manufacturer and original design manufacturer customers. Our business liability insurance may be inadequate or future

For example, an unauthorized third-party gained access to a number of WDC&#146;s systems in March 2023, which caused disruption to parts of WDC&#146;s business operations and resulted in various
investigation, recovery and remediation expenses. In addition, the technology infrastructure and systems of some of our suppliers, vendors, service providers, cloud solution providers and partners have in the past experienced, and may in the future
experience, such incidents. Cyber incidents can be caused by ransomware, computer <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">denial-of-service</FONT></FONT> attacks, worms and other malicious software programs or other
attacks, including the covert introduction of malware to computers and networks, and the use of techniques or processes that change frequently, may be disguised or difficult to detect, or are designed to remain dormant until a triggering event, and
may continue undetected for an extended period of time. Cyber incidents may result from, social engineering or impersonation of authorized users, and may also result from efforts to discover and exploit any design flaws, bugs, security
vulnerabilities or security weaknesses, intentional or unintentional acts by employees or other insiders with access privileges, intentional acts of vandalism or fraud by third parties and sabotage. In some instances, efforts to correct
vulnerabilities or prevent incidents may reduce the functionality or performance of our computer systems and networks, which could negatively impact our business. We believe malicious cyber acts are increasing in number and that cyber threat actors
are increasingly organized and well-financed or supported by state actors, and are developing increasingly sophisticated systems and means to not only infiltrate systems, but also to evade detection or to obscure their activities. Geopolitical
tensions or conflicts may create heightened risk of cyber incidents. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our products are also targets for malicious cyber acts, including those products

could be compromised, breached or circumvented by motivated and sophisticated attackers, which could harm our business by exposing us to litigation and indemnification claims and hurting our reputation. If efforts to breach our infrastructure,
systems or products are successful or we are unable to protect against these risks, we could suffer interruptions, delays or cessation of operations of our systems, and loss or misuse of proprietary or confidential information, IP or sensitive or
personal information. For example, as a result of a network security incident in March 2023, an unauthorized party obtained a copy of a WDC database used for WDC&#146;s online store that contained some personal information of our online store
customers. Compromises of our infrastructure, systems or products could also cause our customers and other affected third parties to suffer loss or misuse of proprietary or confidential information, IP or sensitive or personal information, and could
harm our relationships with customers and other third parties and subject us to liability. As a result of actual or perceived breaches, we may experience additional costs, notification requirements, civil and administrative fines and penalties,
indemnification claims, litigation or damage to our brand and reputation. All of these consequences could harm our reputation and our business and materially and negatively impact our operating results and financial condition. </P>

regardless of whether we order any flash-based memory, and our orders placed with Flash Ventures on a rolling basis are binding. As a result, a failure to accurately forecast supply and demand
could cause us to over-invest or under-invest in inventory, technology transitions or the expansion of Flash Ventures&#146; capacity. Over-investment by us or our competitors can result in excess supply and lead to significant decreases in our
product prices, significant excess, obsolete inventory or inventory write-downs or underutilization charges, and the potential impairment of our investments in Flash Ventures. For example, in 2023, we incurred $296 million in charges for unabsorbed
manufacturing overhead costs as a result of reduced utilization of our manufacturing capacity and $108 million in charges to write down our inventory as a result of decreases in market pricing. These charges were attributable to a significant
imbalance of supply and demand and our actions taken in response thereto. On the other hand, if we under-invest in Flash Ventures, or otherwise grow or transition Flash Ventures&#146; capacity too slowly, we may not have enough supply of flash-based
memory, or the right type of flash-based memory, to meet demand on a timely and cost effective basis, and we may lose opportunities for revenue, gross margin and market share as a result. If our supply is limited, we might make strategic decisions
with respect to the allocation of our supply among our products and customers, which could result in less favorable gross margins or damage customer relationships. In addition, while Flash Ventures is operating, our agreements with Kioxia preclude
us from working with third parties to manufacture flash-based memory or from fabricating flash-based memory beyond the capacity specified in the agreements, or from manufacturing flash-based memory ourselves except to the extent that we acquire any
manufacturing capacity of a Flash Ventures entity as a result of that entity&#146;s dissolution, termination of its joint venture agreements or acquisition by us. This could also impair our ability to consolidate with other industry participants who
manufacture flash-based memory. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our control over the operations of our business ventures may be limited, and our interests could diverge from our
strategic partners&#146; interests regarding ongoing and future activities. For example, each Flash Ventures entity operates for a defined period of time agreed upon between the joint venture partners. Absent further extensions as mutually agreed
between us and Kioxia, Flash Partners Ltd. and Flash Alliance Ltd. are currently set to expire on December 31, 2029, and Flash Forward Ltd. is currently set to expire on December 31, 2034. Each Flash Ventures entity&#146;s joint venture agreements
may also earlier terminate upon the occurrence of certain specified events, including earlier dissolution by agreement of the parties or an event of default or bankruptcy. Upon the termination of a Flash Ventures entity&#146;s joint venture
agreements, whenever that may occur, the applicable Flash Ventures entity will commence a wind-up process and be dissolved. Net proceeds from the dissolution will be distributed in kind or cash to us and Kioxia on a pro rata basis based on our
respective ownership positions. The applicable Flash Venture entity will continue to operate during the period of winding up. Although we and Kioxia have agreed to extend the operating period for each Flash Ventures entity since the start of Flash
Ventures, there is a risk that we and Kioxia will be unable to agree on a further extension of one or more of the Flash Ventures entities. Additionally, under the Flash Ventures agreements, we cannot unilaterally direct most of Flash Ventures&#146;
activities, and we have limited ability to source or fabricate flash outside of Flash Ventures. Flash Ventures requires significant investments by both Kioxia and us for technology transitions and capacity expansions, and our business could be
harmed if our technology roadmap and investment plans are not sufficiently aligned with Kioxia&#146;s. Lack of alignment with Kioxia with respect to Flash Ventures could negatively impact our ability to react quickly to changes in the market, or to
stay at the forefront of technological advancement. Misalignment could arise due to changes in Kioxia&#146;s strategic priorities, management, ownership or access to capital, which have changed in recent years and could continue to change.
Kioxia&#146;s stakeholders may include, or have included in the past, competitors, customers, a private equity firm, government entities or public stockholders. Kioxia&#146;s management changes, ownership and capital structure could lead to delays
in decision-making, disputes or changes in strategic direction that could negatively impact the strategic partnership, and therefore us. There may exist conflicts of interest between Kioxia&#146;s stakeholders and Flash Ventures or us with respect
to, among other things, protecting and growing Flash Ventures&#146; business, intellectual property and competitively sensitive confidential information. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Demand for our devices, software and solutions, which we refer to in this &#147;Risk Factors&#148; section as our &#147;products,&#148; depends in large part
on the demand for systems manufactured by our customers and on storage upgrades to existing systems. The demand for systems has been volatile in the past and often has had an exaggerated effect on the demand for our products in any given period.
Demand for and prices of our products are influenced by, among other factors, actual and projected data growth, the balance between supply and demand in the storage market, including the effects of new fab capacity, macroeconomic factors, business
conditions, technology transitions and other actions taken by us or our competitors. The storage market has recently experienced, and may continue to experience, periods of excess capacity leading to liquidation of excess inventories, inventory
write-downs, significant reductions in average selling prices and negative impacts on our revenue and gross margins, and volatile product life cycles that harm our ability to recover the cost of product development. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Further, our average selling prices and gross margins tend to decline when there is a shift in the mix of product sales to lower priced products. We have
faced declining gross margins relating to the flash business in the past, and may face potential gross margin pressures in the future, resulting from our average selling prices declining more rapidly than our cost of revenue. Rapid technological
changes often reduce the volume and profitability of sales of existing products and increase the risk of inventory obsolescence and write-downs. Finally, the data storage industry has experienced consolidation over the past several years, which
could enhance the resources and lower the cost structure of some competitors. These factors could result in a substantial decrease in our market share and harm our business. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As we compete in new product areas, the overall complexity of our business may increase and may result in increases in research and development expenses and
substantial investments in manufacturing capability, technology enhancements and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">go-to-market</FONT></FONT> capability. We must also qualify our products with customers through
potentially lengthy testing processes with uncertain results. Some of our competitors offer products that we do not offer, which may allow them to win sales from us, and some of our customers may be developing storage solutions internally, which may
reduce their demand for our products. We expect that competition will continue to be intense, and our competitors may be able to gain a product offering or cost structure advantage </P>

to new technologies and products may require us to align to, and build, a new supply base. Our success in new product areas may depend on our ability to enter into favorable supply agreements. In addition, if our customers choose to delay transition

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Sales of many of our products tend to be seasonal and subject to supply-demand cycles. Changes in seasonal and cyclical supply and demand patterns have made
it, and could continue to make it, more difficult for us to forecast demand. Changes in the product or channel mix of our business may also impact seasonal and cyclical patterns. For example, we often ship a high percentage of our total quarterly
sales in the third month of the quarter, which makes it difficult for us to forecast our financial results before the end of each quarter. As a result of the above or other factors, our forecast of financial results for a given quarter may differ

  <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The variety and volume of products we manufacture are based in part on accurately forecasting market and
customer demand for our products. Accurately forecasting demand has become increasingly difficult for us, our customers and our suppliers due to volatility in global economic conditions, end market dynamics and industry consolidation, resulting in
less availability of historical market data for certain product segments. Further, for many of our original equipment manufacturer customers utilizing <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">just-in-time</FONT></FONT>
inventory, we do not generally require firm order commitments and instead receive a periodic forecast of requirements, which may prove to be inaccurate. In addition, because our products are designed to be largely interchangeable with
competitors&#146; products, our demand forecasts may be impacted significantly by the strategic actions of our competitors. As forecasting demand becomes more difficult, the risk that our forecasts are not in line with demand increases. This has
caused, and may in the future cause, our forecasts to exceed actual market demand, resulting in periods of product oversupply, excess inventory, underutilization of manufacturing capacity and price decreases, which has impacted and could further
impact our sales, average selling prices and gross margin or require us to incur additional inventory write-downs or additional charges for unabsorbed manufacturing overhead, thereby negatively affecting our operating results and our financial
condition. For example, in 2023, we incurred $296&nbsp;million in charges for unabsorbed manufacturing overhead costs as a result of reduced utilization of our manufacturing capacity and $108 million in charges to write down our inventory as a
result of decreases in market pricing. These charges were attributable to a significant imbalance of supply and demand and our actions taken in response thereto. If market demand increases significantly beyond our forecasts or beyond our ability to
add manufacturing capacity, then we may not be able to satisfy customer product needs, possibly resulting in a loss of market share if our competitors are able to meet customer demands. In addition, some of our components have long lead-times,
requiring us to place orders several months in advance of anticipated demand. Such long lead-times increase the risk of excess inventory, potentially resulting in inventory write-downs or loss of sales in the event our forecasts vary substantially
from actual demand. </P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Failure to successfully execute on strategic initiatives including acquisitions, divestitures or cost saving measures may

execute on strategic initiatives, we must successfully complete attractive transactions, some of which may be large and complex, and manage post-closing issues such as integration of the acquired company or employees and integration of processes and
systems. We may not be able to identify or complete appealing acquisition or investment opportunities given the intense competition for these transactions. Even if we identify and complete suitable corporate transactions, we may not be able to
successfully address any integration challenges in a timely manner, or at all. There may be difficulties with implementing new systems and processes or with integrating systems and processes of companies with complex operations, which may result in
inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures and policies and may increase the risk that our internal controls are found to be ineffective. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Failing
to successfully integrate or realign our business to take advantage of efficiencies or reduce redundancies of an acquisition may result in not realizing all or any of the anticipated benefits of the acquisition. In addition, failing to achieve the
financial model projections for an acquisition or changes in technology development and related roadmaps following an acquisition may result in the incurrence of impairment charges (including goodwill impairments or other asset write-downs) and
other expenses, both of which could negatively impact our results of operations or financial condition. Acquisitions and investments may also result in the issuance of equity securities that may be dilutive to our stockholders as well as <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">earn-out</FONT> or other contingent consideration payments and the issuance of additional indebtedness that would put additional pressure on liquidity. Furthermore, we may agree to provide continuing service obligations or
enter into other agreements in order to obtain certain regulatory approvals of our corporate transactions, and failure to satisfy these additional obligations could result in our failing to obtain regulatory approvals or the imposition of additional
obligations on us, any of which could negatively affect our business. In addition, new legislation or additional regulations may affect or impair our ability to invest with or in certain other countries or require us to obtain regulatory approvals
to do so, including investments in joint ventures, minority investments and outbound technology transfers to certain countries. </P>

sales to our top ten customers. These customers have a variety of suppliers to choose from and therefore can make substantial demands on us, including demands on product pricing, contractual terms and the environmental impact and attributes of our
products, often resulting in the allocation of risk or increased costs to us as the supplier. Our ability to maintain strong relationships with our principal customers is essential to our future performance. We may experience events such as the loss
of a key customer, prohibition or restriction of sales to a key customer by law, regulation or other government action, reductions in sales to or orders by a key customer, customer requirements to reduce our prices before we are able to reduce costs
or the acquisition of a key customer by one of our competitors. These events may impact, our operating results and financial condition. Further, government authorities may implement laws or regulations or take other actions that could result in
significant changes to the business or operating models of our customers. Such changes could negatively impact our operating results. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Additionally, if
there is consolidation among our customer base, our customers may be able to command increased leverage in negotiating prices and other terms of sale, which could negatively impact our profitability. Consolidation among our customer base may also
lead to reduced demand for our products, increased customer pressure on our prices, replacement of our products by the combined entity with those of our competitors and cancellations of orders, each of which could harm our operating results. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Also, the storage ecosystem is constantly evolving, and our traditional customer base is changing. Fewer companies now hold greater market share for certain
applications and services, such as cloud storage and computing platforms, mobile, social media, shopping and streaming media. As a result, the competitive landscape is changing, giving these companies increased leverage in negotiating prices and
other terms of sale, which could negatively impact our profitability. In addition, the changes in our evolving customer base create new selling and distribution patterns to which we must adapt. To remain competitive, we must respond to these changes
by ensuring we have proper scale in this evolving market, as well as offer products that meet the technological requirements of this customer base at competitive pricing points. To the extent we are not successful in adequately responding to these
changes, our operating results and financial condition could be harmed. </P>

distribution customers typically sell to small computer manufacturers, dealers, systems integrators and other resellers. We face significant competition in this channel as a result of limited product qualification programs and a significant focus on
price and availability of product. As a result of the shift to mobile devices, more computing devices are being delivered to the market as complete systems, which could weaken the distribution market. If we fail to respond to changes in demand in
the distribution market, our business could suffer. Additionally, if the distribution market weakens as a result of technology transitions or a significant change in consumer buying preference, or if we experience significant price declines due to
demand changes in the distribution channel, our operating results would be negatively impacted. Negative changes in the creditworthiness or the ability to access credit, or the bankruptcy or shutdown of any of our significant retail or distribution

the retail market, negative publicity, whether or not justified, or allegations of product or service quality issues, even if false or unfounded, could damage our reputation and cause our customers to choose products offered by our competitors.
Further, changes to the retail environment, such as store closures caused by macroeconomic conditions or changing customer preferences, may reduce the demand for our products. If customers no longer maintain a preference for our product brands or if

default thereunder on terms acceptable to us or at all. In that event, the debt holders could accelerate the related debt, which may result in the cross-acceleration or cross-default of other debt, leases or other obligations. If we do not have
sufficient funds available to repay indebtedness when due, whether at maturity or by acceleration, we may be required to sell important strategic assets; refinance such debt; incur additional debt or issue common stock or other equity securities,
which we may not be able to do on terms acceptable to us, in amounts sufficient to meet our needs or at all. Our inability to service our anticipated debt obligations or refinance our anticipated debt could harm our business. Further, if we are

guaranteed in full by us. The leases are subject to customary covenants and cancellation events that relate to Flash Ventures and each of the guarantors. If a cancellation event were to occur, Flash Ventures would be required to negotiate a
resolution with the other parties to the lease transactions to avoid cancellation and acceleration of the lease obligations. Such resolution could include, among other things, supplementary security to be supplied by us, increased interest rates or
waiver fees. If a resolution is not reached, we may be required to pay all of the outstanding lease obligations covered by our guarantees, which would significantly reduce our cash position and may force us to seek additional financing, which may

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Because we manufacture and sell our products abroad, our revenue, cost of revenue, margins, operating costs and cash flows are impacted by fluctuations in
foreign currency exchange rates. If the U.S. dollar exhibits sustained weakness against most foreign currencies, the U.S. dollar equivalents of unhedged manufacturing costs could increase because a significant portion of our production costs are
foreign-currency denominated. Conversely, there would not be an offsetting impact to revenues since revenues are substantially U.S. dollar denominated. Additionally, we negotiate and procure some of our component requirements in U.S. dollars from <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-U.S.</FONT> based vendors. If the U.S. dollar weakens against other foreign currencies, some of our component suppliers may increase the price they charge for their components in order to maintain an equivalent profit
margin. In addition, our purchases of flash-based memory from Flash Ventures and our investment in Flash Ventures are denominated in Japanese yen. If the Japanese yen appreciates against the U.S. dollar, our cost of purchasing flash-based memory
wafers and the cost to us of future capital funding of Flash Ventures would increase. When such events occur, they have had, and may in the future have, a negative impact on our business. </P>

to variations in sales of products in impacted jurisdictions and could negatively impact demand and revenue growth. In addition, currency variations may adversely affect margins on sales of our products in countries outside the U.S. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We attempt to manage the impact of foreign currency exchange rate changes by, among other things, entering into short-term foreign exchange contracts.
However, these contracts may not cover our full exposure, and can be canceled by the counterparty if currency controls are put in place. Thus, our decisions and hedging strategy with respect to currency risks may not be successful and may actually
harm our operating results. Further, the ability to enter into foreign exchange contracts with financial institutions is based upon our available credit from such institutions and compliance with covenants and other restrictions. Operating losses,
third-party downgrades of our credit rating or instability in the worldwide financial markets could impact our ability to effectively manage our foreign currency exchange rate risk. Hedging also exposes us to the credit risk of our counterparty
financial institutions. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Increases in our customers&#146; credit risk could result in credit losses and term extensions under existing contracts

adopted a subcontractor model that requires us to contract directly with companies, such as original design manufacturers, that provide manufacturing and fulfillment services to our original equipment manufacturer customers. Because these
subcontractors are generally not as well capitalized as our direct original equipment manufacturer customers, this subcontractor model exposes us to increased credit risks. Our agreements with our original equipment manufacturer customers may not
permit us to increase our product prices to alleviate this increased credit risk. Additionally, as we attempt to expand our original equipment manufacturer and distribution channel sales into emerging economies, the customers with the most success
in these regions may have relatively short operating histories, making it more difficult for us to accurately assess the associated credit risks. Our customers&#146; credit risk may also be exacerbated by an economic downturn or other adverse global
or regional economic conditions. Any credit losses we may suffer as a result of these increased risks, or as a result of credit losses from any significant customer, especially in situations where there are term extensions under existing contracts
with such customers, would increase our operating costs, which may negatively impact our operating results. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>LEGAL AND COMPLIANCE RISKS </B></P>

injunctive relief, including injunctions against the sale of our products, and substantial monetary damages, which if granted or awarded, could materially harm our business. From time to time, we may also be the subject of inquiries, requests for

initiated by us could also result in counter-claims against us, which could increase the costs associated with the litigation and result in our payment of damages or other judgments against us. In addition, litigation, investigations or governmental

includes litigation relating to patent and other intellectual property rights, product liability claims and other types of litigation. We have historically been involved in frequent disputes regarding patent and other intellectual property rights,
and we and our customers have in the past received, and we and our customers may in the future receive, communications from third parties asserting that certain of our products, processes or technologies infringe upon their patent rights,
copyrights, trademark rights or other intellectual property rights. Even if we believe that such claims are without merit, they may be time-consuming and costly to defend against and may divert management&#146;s attention and resources away from our
business. We may also receive claims of potential infringement if we attempt to license intellectual property to others. Intellectual property risks increase when we enter into new markets where we have little or no intellectual property protection
as a deterrent against litigation. The complexity of the technology involved and the uncertainty of intellectual property litigation increase the intellectual property risks we face. Litigation may be expensive, lengthy and disruptive to normal
business operations. Moreover, the results of litigation are inherently uncertain and may result in adverse rulings or decisions. We may be subject to injunctions, enter into settlements or be subject to judgments that may harm our business. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">If we incorporate third-party technology into our products or if claims or actions are asserted against us
for alleged infringement of the intellectual property of others, we may be required to obtain a license or cross-license, modify our existing technology or design a new <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-infringing</FONT> technology. Such licenses
or design modifications may be extremely costly. We evaluate notices of alleged patent infringement and notices of patents from patent holders that we receive from time to time. We may decide to settle a claim or action against us, which settlement
could be costly. We may also be liable for past infringement. If there is an adverse ruling against us in an infringement lawsuit, an injunction could be issued barring production or sale of any infringing product. It could also result in a damage
award equal to a reasonable royalty or lost profits or, if there is a finding of willful infringement, treble damages. Any of these results would increase our costs and harm our operating results. In addition, our suppliers, customers and partners
are subject to similar risks of litigation, and a material, adverse ruling against a supplier, customer or partner could negatively impact our business. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Moreover, from time to time, we agree to indemnify certain of our suppliers and customers for alleged intellectual property infringement. The scope of such
indemnity varies but may include indemnification for direct and consequential damages and expenses, including attorneys&#146; fees. We may be engaged in litigation as a result of these indemnification obligations. Third-party claims for patent
infringement are excluded from coverage under our insurance policies. A future obligation to indemnify our customers or suppliers may harm our business. </P>

STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-patentable</FONT> intellectual property such as our process technology. If we fail to protect our technology, intellectual property or contract rights, our customers and others may seek to use our technology and
intellectual property without the payment of license fees and royalties, which could weaken our competitive position, reduce our operating results and increase the likelihood of costly litigation. We primarily rely on patent, copyright, trademark
and trade secret laws, as well as <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-disclosure</FONT> agreements and other methods, to protect our proprietary technologies and processes. There can be no assurance that our existing patents will continue to be
held valid, if challenged, or that they will have sufficient scope or strength to protect us. It is also possible that competitors or other unauthorized third parties may obtain, copy, use or disclose, illegally or otherwise, our proprietary
technologies and processes, despite our efforts to protect our proprietary technologies and processes. If a competitor is able to reproduce or otherwise capitalize on our technology despite the safeguards we have in place, it may be difficult,
expensive or impossible for us to obtain necessary legal protection. There are entities whom we believe may infringe our IP. Enforcement of our rights often requires litigation. If we bring a patent infringement action and are not successful, our
competitors may be able to use similar technology to compete with us. Moreover, the defendant in such an action may successfully countersue us for infringement of their patents or assert a counterclaim that our patents are invalid or unenforceable.
Also, the laws of some foreign countries may not protect our intellectual property to the same extent as do U.S. laws. In addition to patent protection of intellectual property rights, we consider elements of our product designs and processes to be
proprietary and confidential. We rely upon employee, consultant and vendor <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-disclosure</FONT> agreements and contractual provisions and a system of internal safeguards to protect our proprietary information.
However, we cannot be certain that these contracts and safeguards have not been and will not be breached, that we will be able to timely detect unauthorized use or transfer of our technology and intellectual property, that we will have adequate
remedies for any breach, or that our trade secrets will not otherwise become known or be independently discovered by competitors. Any of our registered or unregistered intellectual property rights may be challenged or exploited by others in the
industry, which could harm our operating results. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Maintaining and strengthening our brands are important to maintaining and expanding our business, as

and Development Inclusive Framework on Base Erosion and Profit Shifting have agreed to adopt a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">two-pillar</FONT> approach to taxation, which includes the implementation of a global corporate minimum tax rate of 15%,
which when effective could materially increase our tax obligations in these countries. Due to the large scale of our U.S. and international business activities, many of these enacted and proposed changes to the taxation of our activities, including
cash movements, could increase our worldwide effective tax rate and harm our business. The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 eliminated the option to deduct research and development expenditures in the year incurred, requiring amortization in accordance
with IRC Section&nbsp;174. Depending on our operating results, this requirement could materially increase our effective tax rate and reduce our operating cash flows. Additionally, portions of our operations are subject to a reduced tax rate or are
free of tax under various tax holidays that expire in whole or in part from time to time, or may be terminated if certain conditions are not met. Although many of these holidays may be extended when certain conditions are met, we may not be able to
meet such conditions. If the tax holidays are not extended, or if we fail to satisfy the conditions of the reduced tax rate, then our effective tax rate could increase in the future. Our determination of our tax liability in the U.S. and other
jurisdictions is subject to review by applicable domestic and foreign tax authorities. Although we believe our tax positions are properly supported, the final timing and resolution of any tax examinations are subject to significant uncertainty and

announced its intention to separate into two standalone, publicly traded companies. WDC has determined to implement this separation through the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">spin-off</FONT> of WDC&#146;s Flash Business to its stockholders. WDC
intends to effect the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">spin-off</FONT> pursuant to an internal reorganization followed by a pro rata distribution of [&#9679;]% of the shares of our common stock held by WDC to holders of shares of WDC common stock,
subject to certain conditions. The distribution of our common stock is expected to take place on or about [&#9679;]. On the distribution date, each holder of WDC common stock will receive for each share of WDC common stock held as of [&#9679;]
Pacific time on [&#9679;], the record date for the distribution, a number of shares of Spinco common stock equal to 80.01% of the total number of shares of Spinco common stock held by WDC as of the distribution date, multiplied by a fraction, the
numerator of which is the number of shares of WDC common stock held by such WDC stockholder as of the record date for the distribution and the denominator of which is the total shares of WDC common stock outstanding as of the record date for the
distribution (the &#147;distribution ratio&#148;). Spinco will be a separate, publicly traded company. You will not be required to make any payment, surrender or exchange your WDC common stock or take any other action to receive your shares of
Spinco common stock to which you are entitled on the distribution date. The number of shares you own of WDC will not change as a result of the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">spin-off.</FONT> On the distribution date, WDC will hold 19.99% of Spinco
common stock. Following the distribution, WDC intends to dispose of all of the Spinco common stock that it retains within 12&nbsp;months following the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">spin-off.</FONT> </P>

receive) to each holder who otherwise would have been entitled to receive a fractional share of common stock in the distribution. The transfer agent, in its sole discretion, without any influence by WDC or us, will determine when, how, through which
broker-dealer and at what price to sell the whole shares. Any broker-dealer used by the transfer agent will not be an affiliate of either WDC or us. Neither we nor WDC will be able to guarantee any minimum sale price in connection with the sale of

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In early 2022, the WDC Board of Directors directed WDC management to begin exploring a broad range of
strategic alternatives. In connection with this review, WDC engaged Lazard Ltd., as its financial advisor (and subsequently engaged Qatalyst Partners LP and J.P. Morgan as its financial advisors), and Skadden, as its legal advisor. Between February
2022 and June 2022, the WDC Board of Directors considered strategic options, which included a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">spin-off</FONT> transaction. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On June&nbsp;7, 2022, WDC announced that, following constructive dialogue with many of WDC&#146;s stockholders, including Elliott Investment Management L.P.,
it was reviewing potential strategic alternatives aimed at further optimizing long-term value for its stockholders, and that the Executive Committee of the WDC Board of Directors would oversee the assessment process and fully evaluate a
comprehensive range of alternatives, including options for separating WDC&#146;s market-leading flash and HDD franchises. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">From June 2022 to October 2023,
the WDC Board of Directors engaged in such strategic review. WDC&#146;s financial advisors reached out to multiple strategic parties and financial sponsors regarding a transaction with WDC, including a possible
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">spin-off</FONT> followed by a merger involving the Flash Business. The WDC Board of Directors thoroughly explored this option, among others, which included extensive due diligence and negotiations. The WDC Board of
Directors ultimately determined that such transaction was not actionable at this time. The WDC Board of Directors and the Executive Committee then reviewed the risks and benefits of standalone alternatives, including a
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">spin-off</FONT> of its Flash Business. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On October&nbsp;30, 2023, WDC announced that the WDC Board of Directors had
completed its strategic review of WDC&#146;s business and, after evaluating a comprehensive range of alternatives, unanimously authorized management to pursue a plan to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">spin-off</FONT> the Flash Business from the
remaining HDD Business. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The WDC Board of Directors considered other transactions and considerations as part of the full review process, including not

Treatment, based on certain facts and representations set forth in such request. The receipt of the IRS Ruling is not a condition of the distribution and there can be no assurance that any or all of the rulings requested will be received. The IRS
Ruling, even if received, would not address all of the requirements relevant to the qualification of the distribution for the Intended Tax Treatment. Although a private letter ruling is generally binding on the IRS, the IRS Ruling will be based on
certain facts and representations and undertakings from WDC and us that certain necessary conditions to obtain <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">tax-free</FONT> treatment under the Code have been satisfied. </P>

sole discretion. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In rendering the Tax Opinion to be given as of the closing of the distribution, Skadden will rely on (i)&nbsp;the IRS Ruling (if
received), (ii) customary representations and covenants made by WDC and Spinco, including those contained in certificates of officers of WDC and Spinco, and (iii)&nbsp;specified assumptions, including an assumption regarding the completion of the
separation, the distribution and certain related transactions in the manner contemplated by the transaction agreements. In addition, Skadden&#146;s ability to provide the Tax Opinion will depend on the absence of changes in existing facts or law
between the date of this information statement and the closing date of the distribution. If any of the representations, covenants or assumptions on which Skadden will rely are inaccurate, Skadden may not be able to provide the Tax Opinion or the tax
consequences of the distribution could differ from those described below. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Tax Opinion will not be binding upon the IRS or any court. We cannot assure
you that the IRS will agree with the conclusions expected to be set forth in the Tax Opinion, and it is possible that the IRS or another tax authority could adopt a position contrary to one or all of those conclusions and that a court could sustain
that contrary position. If any of the facts, representations, assumptions or undertakings described or made in connection with the IRS Ruling (if received) and the Tax Opinion are not correct, are incomplete or have been violated, the IRS Ruling
could be revoked retroactively or modified by the IRS, and WDC&#146;s ability to rely on the Tax Opinion could be jeopardized. As of the date of this information statement, we are not aware of any facts or circumstances, however, that would cause

distribution of a fractional share of Spinco common stock and then sold it for the amount of cash received. Such U.S. Holder should recognize capital gain or loss, measured by the difference between the cash received for such fractional share and
the U.S. Holder&#146;s basis in the fractional share, as determined above. Such capital gain or loss should generally be a long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder&#146;s holding period for such U.S. Holder&#146;s WDC common stock exceeds
one year on the date of the distribution. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">U.S. Treasury Regulations require certain stockholders of WDC common stock who receive Spinco common stock in
the distribution to attach a detailed statement setting forth certain information relating to the distribution to their respective U.S. federal income tax returns for the year in which the distribution occurs. Within a reasonable period after the
distribution, WDC will provide stockholders who receive our common stock in the distribution with the information necessary to comply with such requirement. In addition, all stockholders are required to retain permanent records relating to the
amount, basis and fair market value of Spinco common stock received in the distribution and to make those records available to the IRS upon request of the IRS. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We expect to incur incremental costs as a standalone public company related to certain expenses previously allocated from WDC. Our historical combined
financial statements include allocations for certain costs of support functions that are provided on a centralized or geographic basis by WDC and its affiliates, which include executive management, finance, tax, legal, information technology,
employee benefits administration, treasury, risk management, procurement and other shared services. Additionally, we expect to incur charges from contracts with vendors, which are expected to be incurred in relation to the separation of Spinco as a
standalone public company. These charges primarily relate to legal, audit and advisory fees, system implementation costs, business separation costs and other costs. We will also incur new costs relating to our public reporting and compliance
obligations as a standalone public company. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">These incremental costs are based on our expected organizational structure and expected cost structure as a
standalone public company, adjusted for the allocated costs recorded within our historical combined financial statements, which vary by year. In order to determine synergies and <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">dis-synergies,</FONT> we prepared a
detailed assessment of the resources and associated costs required as a baseline to stand up Spinco as a standalone public company. With respect to expected headcount increases, internal resources were matched to job roles to meet the required
baseline. In addition to internal resources, third-party support costs in each function were considered, which included business support functions and corporate overhead charges previously shared with WDC. This process was used by all functions
resulting in incremental costs when compared to the cost allocations from WDC included in our historical combined financial statements. Actual charges that will be incurred could be different from these estimates and would depend on several factors,
including the economic environment and strategic decisions made in areas following the spin-off. </P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Any shortfall of required resource needs will be
filled through external hiring or will be supported by WDC through the transition services agreement. From a timeframe standpoint, these incremental costs will begin to materialize on the date of this information statement. Management believes the
resource transfers and costs which were used as the basis for the management adjustments below are reasonable and representative of the baseline to stand up Spinco as a standalone public company. Both the resource and vendor cost baseline would be
impacted by additional costs and investments that we may incur as we pursue our growth strategies. In addition, other adverse effects and limitations, including those discussed in the section of this information statement entitled &#147;Risk
Factors,&#148; may impact the actual costs incurred. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Primarily as a result of the above items, the management adjustments presented below, which are
incremental to the autonomous entity pro forma adjustments, show additional incremental expenses compared to the allocated expenses from WDC included in our historical combined statements of operations, related to
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">dis-synergies</FONT> resulting from the contemplated organizational structure. Management believes the presentation of these adjustments is necessary to enhance an understanding of the pro forma effects of the
transaction. The pro forma financial information below reflects all adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of the pro forma financial information, aligned with the assessment described above. If we
decide to increase or reduce resources or invest more heavily in certain areas in the future, the results will vary from the management adjustments presented below. The tax effect has been determined by applying the applicable statutory tax rates to
the aforementioned adjustments for the periods presented. These management adjustments include forward-looking statements. See &#147;Forward-Looking Statements&#148; elsewhere in this information statement. </P>

are obligated to fund 49.9% to 50.0% of each Flash Ventures entity&#146;s capital investments to the extent that the Flash Ventures entity&#146;s operating cash flow is insufficient to fund these investments. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Each Flash Ventures entity operates for a set amount of time as agreed between us and Kioxia. Since the start of Flash Ventures, we and Kioxia have extended
the term for all three of the Flash Ventures entities. Absent further extensions as mutually agreed between us and Kioxia, Flash Partners Ltd. and Flash Alliance Ltd. are currently set to expire on December 31, 2029, and Flash Forward Ltd. is
currently set to expire on December 31, 2034. Each Flash Ventures entity&#146;s joint venture agreements may also earlier terminate upon the occurrence of certain specified events, including earlier dissolution by agreement of the parties or an
event of default or bankruptcy. Upon the termination of a Flash Ventures entity&#146;s joint venture agreements, whenever that may occur, the applicable Flash Ventures entity will commence a wind-up process and be dissolved. Net proceeds from the
dissolution will be distributed in kind or cash to us and Kioxia on a pro rata basis based on our respective ownership positions. The applicable Flash Venture entity will continue to operate during the period of winding up. </P>

Venture&#148;, to market and sell our products in China and to develop data storage systems for the Chinese market in the future. Pursuant to the separation and distribution agreement, it is expected that the Unis Venture will be minority owned by
Spinco and majority owned by Unis following the separation. The Unis Venture has not historically been managed as a component of Spinco and as such the related equity method investment is not reflected within our historical combined financial
statements. In addition, SanDisk China Limited, a wholly owned indirect subsidiary of WDC and an expected wholly owned subsidiary of Spinco following the separation, has entered into an agreement with JCET Management Co., Ltd. (&#147;JCET&#148;),
referred to as the &#147;SDSS Venture&#148;, to own and operate our assembly and test facility in Shanghai, China. The SDSS Venture will be 20% owned by Spinco and 80% owned by JCET. </P>

services used by Spinco. Spinco&#146;s business has historically functioned together with the other businesses controlled by WDC. Accordingly, Spinco relied on WDC&#146;s corporate overhead and other support functions for its business. Therefore,
certain corporate overhead and shared costs have been allocated to Spinco including (i)&nbsp;certain general and administrative expenses related to WDC support functions that are provided on a centralized basis within WDC (e.g., expenses for
corporate facilities, executive oversight, treasury, finance, legal, human resources, compliance, information technology, employee benefit plans, stock compensation plans and other corporate functions) and (ii)&nbsp;certain operations support costs
incurred by WDC, including product sourcing, maintenance and support services and other supply chain functions. These expenses have been specifically identified, when possible, or allocated based on revenues, headcount, usage or other allocation
methods that are considered to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services provided or benefit received. Management considers that such allocations have been made on a reasonable basis consistent with benefits received but may not
necessarily be indicative of the costs that would have been incurred if Spinco had been operated on a standalone basis for the periods presented. </I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our

average selling prices (or ASP) of 39% per gigabyte, primarily reflecting the macroeconomic pressures described in the &#147;Operational Update&#148; above. The decline in the average selling prices per gigabyte was due to the supply-demand
imbalance described in the &#147;Key Developments&#151;Operational Update&#148; section above as well as a shift in product mix. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The 60% decrease in
Cloud revenue in 2023 compared to 2022, is primarily due to a 28% decrease in exabytes shipments and a 45% decrease in average selling prices per gigabyte. The decline in average selling prices per gigabyte was primarily attributable to the factors
described in the &#147;Key Developments&#151;Operational Update&#148; section above. In Client, the 40% decrease in revenue in 2023 compared to 2022 reflects a decline of 42% decrease in average selling prices per gigabyte, due to pricing pressure
across flash products. In Consumer, the 21% decrease in revenues in 2023 compared to 2022 was due to approximately 30% decrease in average selling prices per gigabyte, partially offset by a 14% increase in exabytes sold. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The changes in net revenue by geography in 2023, compared to 2022, reflect a 40% decline in Asia from lower Client revenue from original equipment
manufacturers in this region as they reduced purchases to align with current market demand. </P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For 2024, 2023 and 2022, our top 10 customers accounted

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Consistent with standard industry practice, we have sales incentive and marketing programs that provide customers with price protection and other incentives
or reimbursements that are recorded as a reduction to gross revenue. For 2024, 2023 and 2022, these programs represented [&#9679;]%, 21%, and 15%, respectively, of gross revenues, and adjustments to revenue due to changes in accruals for these
programs have generally averaged less than 1% of gross revenue over the last three years. The amounts attributed to our sales incentive and marketing programs generally vary according to several factors, including industry conditions, list pricing
strategies, seasonal demand, competitor actions, channel mix and overall availability of products. Changes in future customer demand and market conditions may require us to adjust our incentive programs as a percentage of gross revenue. </P>

</TABLE>   <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">To supplement the condensed consolidated financial statements presented in accordance with GAAP, the table above sets
forth <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> gross profit; <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> operating expenses; <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> operating income (loss);

STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> measures are not in accordance with, or an alternative for, measures prepared in accordance with GAAP and may be different from <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> measures used by other
companies. Spinco believes the presentation of these <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> measures, when shown in conjunction with the corresponding GAAP measures, provides useful information to investors for measuring Spinco&#146;s
earnings performance and comparing it against prior periods. Specifically, Spinco believes these <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> measures provide useful information to both management and investors as they exclude certain expenses,
gains and losses that Spinco believes are not indicative of its core operating results or because they are consistent with the financial models and estimates published by many analysts who follow Spinco and its peers. As discussed further below,
these <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> measures exclude, as applicable, stock-based compensation expense, amortization of acquired intangible assets, contamination related charges, recoveries from a power outage incident, employee
termination, asset impairment and other charges, goodwill impairment, expenses related to our strategic review, other adjustments, and income tax adjustments, and Spinco believes these measures along with the related reconciliations to the GAAP
measures provide additional detail and comparability for assessing Spinco&#146;s results. These <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> measures are some of the primary indicators management uses for assessing Spinco&#146;s performance and
planning and forecasting future periods. These measures should be considered in addition to results prepared in accordance with GAAP, but should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, GAAP results. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As described above, Spinco excludes the following items from its
<FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> measures: </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Stock-based compensation expense</U>. Because of the variety of equity awards used by
companies, the varying methodologies for determining stock-based compensation expense, the subjective assumptions involved in those determinations and the volatility in valuations that can be driven by market conditions outside Spinco&#146;s
control, Spinco believes excluding stock-based compensation expense enhances the ability of management and investors to understand and assess the underlying performance of its business over time and compare it against Spinco&#146;s peers, a majority
of whom also exclude stock-based compensation expense from their <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> results. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Amortization of acquired
intangible assets</U>. Spinco incurs expenses from the amortization of acquired intangible assets over their economic lives. Such charges are significantly impacted by the timing and magnitude of Spinco&#146;s acquisitions and any related impairment
charges. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Contamination related charges</U>. In February 2022, a contamination of certain materials used in Spinco&#146;s manufacturing process
occurred and affected production operation at the Flash Ventures manufacturing facilities in Yokkaichi and Kitakami, Japan. The contamination resulted in scrapped inventory and rework costs, decontamination and other costs needed to restore the
facilities to normal capacity and under absorption of overhead costs, which are expensed as incurred. These charges are inconsistent in amount and frequency, and Spinco believes these charges are not part of the ongoing production operation of its
business. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Recoveries from a power outage incident</U>. In June 2019, an unexpected power outage incident occurred at the Flash Ventures manufacturing
facilities in Yokkaichi, Japan. The power outage incident resulted in costs associated with the repair of damaged tools and the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">write-off</FONT> of damaged inventory and unabsorbed manufacturing overhead costs which
are expensed as incurred. During fiscal year 2022, Spinco received recoveries for these losses from other parties. The recoveries are inconsistent in amount and frequency, and Spinco believes they are not part of the ongoing production operation of
its business. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Employee termination, asset impairment and other charges</U>. From time to time, in order to realign Spinco&#146;s operations with
anticipated market demand or to achieve cost synergies from the integration of acquisitions, Spinco may terminate employees and/or restructure its operations. From time to time, Spinco may also incur charges from the impairment of intangible assets
and other long-lived assets. In addition, Spinco may record credits related to gains upon sale of property due to restructuring or reversals of charges recorded in prior periods as well as taking actions to reduce the amount of capital invested in
facilities, including the sale-leaseback of facilities. These charges or credits are inconsistent in amount and frequency, and Spinco believes they are not indicative of the underlying performance of its business. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Goodwill impairment</U>. In fiscal year 2023, certain macroeconomic conditions caused Spinco to perform a quantitative impairment analysis. Management
determined that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeded its fair value, resulting in the recognition of a $671&nbsp;million impairment charge for the fiscal year ended June&nbsp;30, 2023. Spinco believes this charge does not reflect
Spinco&#146;s operating results and is not indicative of the underlying performance of the business. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Strategic review</U>. Spinco incurred expenses
associated with its review of potential strategic alternatives aimed at further optimizing the long-term value for stockholders. Spinco believes these charges do not reflect Spinco&#146;s operating results and that they are not indicative of the
underlying performance of its business. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Other adjustments</U>. From time to time, Spinco incurs charges or gains that Spinco believes are not a part
of the ongoing operation of its business. The resulting expense or benefit is inconsistent in amount and frequency. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><U>Income tax adjustments</U>. Income
tax adjustments include the difference between income taxes based on a forecasted annual <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> tax rate and a forecasted annual GAAP tax rate as a result of the timing of certain <FONT
STYLE="white-space:nowrap">non-GAAP</FONT> <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">pre-tax</FONT> adjustments. The income tax adjustments also include adjustments to estimates related to the current status of the rules and regulations governing the
transition to the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act and the </P>

to align with market demand. We [increased/reduced] our portion of the capital expenditures by Flash Ventures for its operations to approximately $[&#9679;] in 2024 from approximately $1.4&nbsp;billion in 2023. After consideration of the Flash

was $197&nbsp;million for 2023, compared to $600&nbsp;million net cash used in 2022, which reflects the increase in the volume of our business. Changes in our operating assets and liabilities are largely affected by our working capital requirements,

retailers (collectively referred to as &#147;resellers&#148;) with limited price protection for inventories held by resellers at the time of published list price reductions. We also provide resellers and original equipment manufacturers with other
sales incentive programs. Spinco records estimated variable consideration related to these items as a reduction to revenue at the time of revenue recognition. We use judgment in our assessment of variable consideration in contracts to be included in
the transaction price. We use the expected value method to arrive at the amount of variable consideration. Spinco constrains variable consideration until the likelihood of a significant revenue reversal is not probable and believes that the expected
value method is the appropriate estimate of the amount of variable consideration based on the fact that we have a large number of contracts with similar characteristics. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For sales to original equipment manufacturers, Spinco&#146;s methodology for estimating variable consideration is based on the amount of consideration
expected to be earned based on the original equipment manufacturers&#146; volume of purchases from Spinco or other agreed-upon sales incentive programs. For sales to resellers, the methodology for estimating variable consideration is based on
several factors, including historical pricing information, current pricing trends and channel inventory levels. Estimating the impact of these factors requires significant judgment and differences between the estimated and actual amounts of variable
consideration can be significant. </P>

STYLE="white-space:nowrap">first-out</FONT> basis. We record inventory write-downs of our inventory to lower of cost or net realizable value or for obsolete or excess inventory based on assumptions, which requires significant judgment. The
determination of NRV involves estimating the average selling prices less any selling expenses of inventory based on market conditions and customer demand. To estimate the average selling prices and selling expenses of inventory, we review historical
sales, future demand, economic conditions, contract prices and other information. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We periodically perform an excess and obsolete analysis of our
inventory based on assumptions, which includes changes in business and economic conditions, changes in technology and projected demand of our products. If in any period we anticipate a change in those assumptions to be less favorable than our
previous estimates, additional inventory write-downs may be required and could materially and negatively impact our gross margin. If in any period, we can sell inventories that had been written down to a level below the realized selling price in the
previous period, higher gross profit would be recognized in that period. While adjustments to these reserves have generally not been material, in 2023, we recorded a charge to cost of revenue of $115&nbsp;million, primarily to reduce component

that deferred tax assets and liabilities be recognized for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of our assets and liabilities and expected benefits of utilizing net operating loss, or NOL, and tax credit
carryforwards. We record a valuation allowance when it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Each quarter, we evaluate the need for a valuation allowance for our deferred tax assets and we adjust the valuation
allowance so that we record net deferred tax assets only to the extent that we conclude it is more likely than not that these deferred tax assets will be realized. The assessment of valuation allowances against our deferred tax assets requires
estimations and significant judgment. We continue to assess and adjust valuation allowances based on operating results and market conditions. We account for interest and penalties related to income taxes as a component of the provision for income
taxes. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We recognize liabilities for uncertain tax positions based on a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">two-step</FONT> process. To the extent a tax
position does not meet a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">more-likely-than-not</FONT> level of certainty, no benefit is recognized in the financial statements. If a position meets the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">more-likely-than-not</FONT>
level of certainty, it is recognized in the financial statements at the largest amount that has a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized on
liabilities recorded for uncertain tax positions and are recorded in our provision for income taxes. The actual liability for unrealized tax benefits in any such contingency may be materially different from our estimates, which could result in the
need to record additional liabilities for unrecognized tax benefits or potentially adjust previously recorded liabilities for unrealized tax benefits and materially affect our operating results. </P>

Instead, it is tested for impairment on an annual basis or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill may be impaired. Spinco performs an annual impairment test as of the beginning of its fourth quarter or sooner if
an indicator of impairment exists. As disclosed in Note&nbsp;5, <I>Supplemental Financial Statement Data,</I> of the Notes to Combined Financial Statements, Spinco identified several factors that warranted a quantitative analysis of impairment
during 2023. The fair value of the operating segment was based on a weighting of two valuation methodologies: an income approach and a market approach. Spinco is required to use judgment when assessing goodwill for impairment, including evaluating
the impact of industry and macroeconomic conditions and the determination of the fair value of the reporting unit. In addition, the estimates used to determine the fair value of the reporting unit as well as the actual carrying value may

reporting, accounting, internal controls, fraud and capital structure; cybersecurity; legal and regulatory compliance, including our ethics and compliance program; legal and regulatory requirements regarding public disclosure of topics that will be
covered by our corporate responsibility and sustainability programs; tax and transfer pricing matters; and general business risks. The Compensation and Talent Committee will oversee compensation programs, policies and practices; equity and other
incentive plans; recruiting, engagement and retention; people programs, policies and practices, including diversity, equity and inclusion; and Chief Executive Officer succession planning and senior leadership development. The Governance Committee
will oversee board and committee composition, including board leadership structure; director succession planning; corporate governance policies and practices; and corporate responsibility and sustainability policies and programs, including related

to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of our common stock (or any other class of voting securities); or (iii)&nbsp;any immediate family member of any of the foregoing persons. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Spinco Certificate of Incorporation and the Spinco Bylaws will include provisions, summarized below, that will be intended to discourage and prevent
coercive takeover practices and inadequate takeover bids. These provisions will be designed to encourage persons seeking to acquire control of Spinco to first negotiate with the Spinco Board of Directors. They will also be intended to provide
Spinco&#146;s management with the flexibility to enhance the likelihood of continuity and stability if the Spinco Board of Directors determines that a takeover is not in the best interests of their stockholders. These provisions, however, could have
the effect of discouraging others from making tender offers for Spinco shares and may have the effect of deterring hostile takeovers or delaying changes in Spinco&#146;s control or management. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Spinco Bylaws will provide that Spinco&#146;s stockholders must comply with advance notice procedures to bring business before or nominate directors for
election at a meeting of stockholders. A stockholder (or group of up to 20 stockholders) who has held at least 3% of Spinco common stock for at least three years must also satisfy and comply with additional requirements that will be set forth in the
Spinco Bylaws to nominate and have any director nominee (generally not exceeding the greater of (i)&nbsp;two director nominees or (ii) 20% of the number of directors on the Spinco Board of Directors, rounded down to the nearest whole number)

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under Delaware law, cumulative voting for the election of directors is not permitted unless a corporation&#146;s certificate of incorporation authorizes
cumulative voting. The Spinco Certificate of Incorporation and the Spinco Bylaws will not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors. The absence of cumulative voting will make it more difficult for a minority stockholder to gain a
seat on the Spinco Board of Directors to influence the Spinco Board of Directors&#146; decision regarding a takeover. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Authorized but Unissued

future issuance without stockholder approval. Spinco may use these additional shares for a variety of corporate purposes, including future public offerings to raise additional capital, corporate acquisitions and employee benefit plans. The existence
of authorized but unissued shares of Spinco common stock could render more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of Spinco by means of a proxy contest, tender offer, merger or otherwise. </P>

asset or stock sale, or another transaction resulting in a financial benefit to the interested stockholder. Generally, an interested stockholder is a person who, together with affiliates and associates, owns 15% or more of the corporation&#146;s

July&nbsp;1, 2022, the related combined statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), cash flows, and changes in parent company net investment for each of the years in the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">two-year</FONT> period ended
June&nbsp;30, 2023, and the related notes (collectively, the combined financial statements). In our opinion, the combined financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Business as of June&nbsp;30, 2023
and July&nbsp;1, 2022, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">two-year</FONT> period ended June&nbsp;30, 2023, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting

financial statements are the responsibility of the Business&#146;s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these combined financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company
Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Business in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
and the PCAOB. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB and in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the
United States of America. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the combined financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included
performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the combined financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis,
evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the combined financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of
the combined financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Critical Audit Matters </I></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the combined financial statements that were communicated or
required to be communicated to the audit committee and that: (1)&nbsp;relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the combined financial statements and (2)&nbsp;involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The
communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the combined financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical
audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Assessment of variable consideration for sales to resellers
</I></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As discussed in Note 1 to the combined financial statements, the Business provides resellers with price protection for inventories
held by resellers at the time of published list price reductions and other sales incentive programs. The Business records estimated variable consideration related to these items as a reduction to revenue at the time of revenue recognition. The
Business uses judgment in its assessment of variable consideration in contracts to be included in the transaction price. For sales to resellers, the Business&#146;s methodology for estimating variable consideration is based on several factors,
including historical pricing information, current pricing trends, and channel inventory levels. </P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We identified the assessment of variable consideration for sales to resellers as a critical
audit matter. A high degree of subjective auditor judgment was required to evaluate the Business&#146;s assumptions for historical pricing information and the level of channel inventory used to estimate variable consideration for sales to resellers
as minor changes in these assumptions could cause significant changes in the estimate. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following are the primary procedures we
performed to address this critical audit matter. We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls related to the Business&#146;s process for estimating the variable consideration, including certain controls
related to historical pricing information and the level of channel inventory assumptions. To assess the reasonableness of the estimated variable consideration for sales to resellers, we developed an independent expectation of the variable
consideration for sales to resellers based on historically recorded payments and issued credits and then compared our expectation to the estimated variable consideration recorded. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As discussed in Note 5 to the combined financial statements, the goodwill balance as of June&nbsp;30, 2023 was $7,212&nbsp;million. The
Business tests goodwill for impairment annually as of the beginning of its fourth quarter, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the goodwill may be impaired. The fair value of the reporting unit was based on a
weighting of two valuation methodologies: an income approach and a market approach. The Business determined the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeded its fair value as derived from the valuation methodologies, resulting in recognition of a
$671&nbsp;million impairment charge for the fiscal year ended June&nbsp;30, 2023 </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We identified the assessment of goodwill for impairment
for the Business&#146;s single reporting unit as a critical audit matter. A high degree of subjective auditor judgment was required to evaluate the forecasted revenue, including revenue growth rates, forecasted cost of goods sold, and the
company-specific risk premium assumptions used in the income approach to estimate the fair value of the reporting unit. The assessment of these assumptions was challenging due to the degree of uncertainty related to future market and economic
conditions. Differences in judgment used to determine these assumptions could have a significant effect on the Business&#146;s assessment of the fair value of the reporting unit. Additionally, evaluating the company-specific risk premium assumption
required specialized skills and knowledge. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The following are the primary procedures we performed to address this critical audit matter.
We evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of certain internal controls over the Business&#146;s goodwill impairment process, including controls over the development of the forecasted revenue, forecasted cost of goods sold, and
the company-specific risk premium assumptions. We evaluated the Business&#146;s forecasted revenue by comparing it to historical results and revenue growth rates projected for peer companies and the industry. We evaluated the Business&#146;s
forecasted cost of goods sold by comparing it to historical results and by comparing the forecasted gross margin to historical gross margin for peer companies and the industry. In addition, we involved valuation professionals with specialized skills
and knowledge, who assisted in evaluating the company-specific risk premium by comparing management&#146;s financial projections to publicly available forecasts of comparable companies and the Business&#146;s actual operating results in prior years.

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The accompanying Combined Financial Statements present, on a historical cost basis, the combined assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of
the flash business of Western Digital Corporation (the &#147;Business&#148;), a business of Western Digital Corporation and its subsidiaries (collectively &#147;WDC&#148; or &#147;Parent&#148;). The Business is a leading developer, manufacturer and
provider of data storage devices and solutions based on NAND flash technology. With a differentiated innovation engine driving advancements in storage and semiconductor technologies, our broad and ever-expanding portfolio delivers powerful flash
storage solutions for everyone from students, gamers and home offices, to the largest enterprises and public clouds to capture, preserve, access and transform an ever-increasing diversity of data. The Business operates primarily in the U.S. and
internationally with a significant concentration in Asia Pacific. On October&nbsp;30, 2023, our Parent announced that its board of directors (the &#147;WDC Board of Directors&#148;) authorized management to pursue a plan to separate the Business
into an independent public company. The completion of the separation is subject to certain conditions, including final approval by the WDC Board of Directors. Our Parent is targeting to complete the separation of the Business in the second half of
calendar year 2024. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Business&#146;s solutions include a broad range of solid state drives, embedded products, removable cards,
universal serial bus drives and wafers and components. The Business&#146;s broad portfolio of technology and products address multiple end markets of &#147;Cloud,&#148; &#147;Client&#148; and &#147;Consumer.&#148; The Business also generates license
and royalty revenue from its extensive intellectual property (&#147;IP&#148;) portfolio, which is included in each of these three end market categories. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For the avoidance of doubt, when using the terms &#147;we,&#148; &#147;us,&#148; or &#147;our&#148; throughout this report, it is in reference
to the Business. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Basis of Presentation </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Throughout the periods covered by the Combined Financial Statements, the Business was an operating segment of WDC. Consequently, stand-alone
financial statements have not historically been prepared for the Business. The accompanying Combined Financial Statements have been prepared from WDC&#146;s historical consolidated financial statements and accounting records and are presented on a
stand-alone basis as if the Business&#146;s operations had been conducted independently from WDC. The Combined Financial Statements include the historical results of operations, financial position and cash flows of the Business in accordance with
accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (&#147;GAAP&#148;) and the Business has adopted accounting policies and practices which are generally accepted in the industry in which it operates. As no single legal entity of the
Business has a controlling financial interest in all other legal entities, Combined Financial Statements have been prepared. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Intercompany
transactions have been eliminated. With the exception of balances associated with lending arrangements reflected within Notes due to (from) Parent in the Combined Balance Sheets, transactions between the Business and the Parent are generally
considered to be effectively settled in the Combined Financial Statements at the time the transactions are recorded. The total net effect of the settlement of these transactions is reflected in the Combined Statements of Cash Flows as a financing
activity and in the Combined Balance Sheets as Parent company net investment. General financing activities include the net impact of any cash movements resulting from the Parent&#146;s centralized treasury cash management. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Combined Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) include all revenues and costs directly attributable to the Business as
well as an allocation of expenses related to facilities, functions and services </P>

provided by our Parent. Allocation of general corporate expenses from our Parent include, but are not limited to, executive management, finance, tax, legal, information technology, employee
benefits administration, treasury, risk management, procurement and other shared services. These corporate expenses have been allocated to the Business based on direct usage or benefit, where identifiable, with the remainder allocated based on
headcount, revenue or other relevant measures. The allocated costs are deemed to be settled between the Business and the Parent in the period in which the expense was recorded in the Combined Statements of Operations. The Combined Statements of Cash
Flows present these corporate expenses as cash flows from operating activities, as these costs were incurred by our Parent on our behalf. We consider these allocations to be a reasonable reflection of the utilization of services by, or the benefits
provided to, the Business. The allocations may not, however, reflect the expense the Business would have incurred as a standalone company for the periods presented. Additionally, these costs may not be indicative of the expenses that the Business
will incur in the future or would have incurred if the Business had obtained these services from an unrelated third party. It is not practicable to estimate the actual costs that would have been incurred had the Business been a standalone company
during the periods presented. The actual costs that may have been incurred would depend on a number of factors, including the chosen organizational structure, whether functions were outsourced or performed by employees and decisions with respect to
areas such as facilities, information technology and operating infrastructure. </P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our Parent maintains various stock-based compensation
plans at a corporate level. Employees of the Business participate in those programs and a portion of the compensation cost associated with those plans is included in the Business&#146;s Combined Statements of Operations. Stock-based compensation
expense has been included within Parent company net investment. The amounts presented in the Combined Financial Statements are not necessarily indicative of future awards and may not reflect the results that the Business would have experienced as a
stand-alone entity. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Current and deferred income taxes and related tax expense have been determined based on the stand-alone results of
the Business by applying Accounting Standards Codification No.&nbsp;740, Income Taxes (&#147;ASC 740&#148;), to the Business&#146;s operations in each country as if it were a separate taxpayer (i.e., following the Separate Return Methodology). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Combined Balance Sheets include all assets and liabilities that are specifically identifiable or otherwise attributable to the Business.
Assets and liabilities shared between the Business and the Parent were included in the stand-alone financial statements to the extent the asset is primarily used by the Business. If the Business is not the primary user of the asset, it was excluded
entirely from the Combined Financial Statements. The Parent has historically used a centralized approach to cash management and financing of its operations, as needed. Certain of our cash is transferred to the Parent according to centrally managed
cash programs by treasury and the Parent funds our operating and investing activities as needed. Cash transfers to and from the Parent&#146;s cash management accounts are reflected as a component of Parent company net investment in the Combined
Balance Sheets. Cash and cash equivalents in our Combined Balance Sheets primarily represent cash held locally by entities included in our Combined Financial Statements. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">None of the debt obligations of the Parent or corresponding interest expense have been included in the accompanying Combined Financial
Statements, as the Business is neither the legal obligor, nor transferee for any portion of such debt. Our Parent&#146;s debt obligations are secured by a lien on substantially all assets and properties of WDC and certain key subsidiaries, which
includes assets and properties of the Business. </P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Fiscal Year </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Business&#146;s fiscal year ends on the Friday nearest to June&nbsp;30 and typically consists of 52 weeks. Approximately every five to six
years, we report a <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">53-week</FONT> fiscal year to align the fiscal year with the foregoing policy. Fiscal year 2023 and 2022 which ended on June&nbsp;30, 2023, and July&nbsp;1, 2022, respectively, are comprised of 52
weeks, with all quarters presented consisting of 13 weeks. Unless otherwise indicated, references herein to specific years and quarters are to fiscal years and fiscal quarters and references to financial information are on a combined basis. </P>

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Operating segments are components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available and is evaluated regularly by the
company&#146;s chief operating decision maker (&#147;CODM&#148;) in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Business currently operates as both a single operating and reportable segment. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Use of Estimates </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Management has made estimates and assumptions relating to the reporting of certain assets and liabilities in conformity with U.S. GAAP. These
estimates and assumptions have been applied using methodologies that are consistent throughout the periods presented with consideration given to the potential impacts of current macroeconomic conditions. However, actual results could differ
materially from these estimates. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Cash Equivalents </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Business&#146;s cash equivalents represent highly liquid investments in bank certificates of deposit with original maturities at purchase
of three months or less. These deposits are typically in excess of U.S. insured limits. Cash equivalents are carried at cost plus accrued interest, which approximates fair value. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Equity Investments </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Business enters into certain strategic investments for the promotion of business and strategic objectives. The equity method of accounting
is used if the Business&#146;s ownership interest is greater than or equal to 20.0% but less than a majority or where the Business has the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies. The Business&#146;s equity in
the earnings or losses in equity-method investments is recognized in other income, net, in the Combined Statements of Operations. Equity earnings or losses in the Business&#146;s investments in Flash Ventures (as defined in Note 9) are reported on a

<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Business recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control over a product or service to the customer.
The transaction price to be recognized as revenue is adjusted for variable consideration, such as sales incentives, and excludes amounts collected on behalf of third parties, including taxes imposed by governmental authorities. The Business&#146;s
performance obligations are typically not constrained based on the Business&#146;s history with similar transactions and the fact that uncertainties are resolved in a fairly short period of time. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Substantially all of the Business&#146;s revenue is from the sale of tangible products for which the performance obligations are satisfied at
a point in time, generally upon delivery. The Business&#146;s services revenue mainly includes professional service arrangements and post contract customer support, warranty as a service and maintenance contracts and was not material for the periods
presented. The performance obligations for the Business&#146;s services are generally satisfied ratably over the service period based on the nature of the service provided and contract terms. Similarly, revenue from patent licensing arrangements is
recognized based on whether the arrangement provides the customer a right to use or right to access the IP. Revenue for a right to use arrangement is recognized at the time the control of the license is transferred to the customer. Revenue for a
right to access arrangement is recognized over the contract period using the time lapse method. For the sales-based royalty arrangements, the Business estimates and recognizes revenue in the period in which customers&#146; licensable sales occur.
</P>  <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Business&#146;s customer payment terms are typically less than two months from the date control over the product or service is
transferred to the customer. The Business uses the practical expedient and does not recognize a significant financing component for payment considerations of less than one year. The financing components of contracts with payment terms were not
material. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Business provides distributors and retailers, which we refer to collectively as resellers, with limited price protection
for inventories held by resellers at the time of published list price reductions. The Business also provides resellers and original equipment manufacturers (&#147;OEMs&#148;) with other sales incentive programs. The Business records estimated
variable consideration related to these items as a reduction to revenue at the time of revenue recognition. The Business uses judgment in its assessment of variable consideration in contracts to be included in the transaction price. The Business
uses the expected value method to arrive at the amount of variable consideration. The Business constrains variable consideration until the likelihood of a significant revenue reversal is not probable and believes that the expected value method is
the appropriate estimate of the amount of variable consideration based on the fact that the Business has a large number of contracts with similar characteristics. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For sales to OEMs, the Business&#146;s methodology for estimating variable consideration is based on the amount of consideration expected to
be earned based on the OEMs&#146; volume of purchases from the Business or other agreed-upon sales incentive programs. For sales to resellers, the Business&#146;s methodology for estimating variable consideration is based on several factors
including historical pricing information, current pricing trends and channel inventory levels. Differences between the estimated and actual amounts of variable consideration are recognized as adjustments to revenue. </P>

promised goods or services in the arrangement until a distinct bundle of goods is identified. If applicable, the Business allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations of each distinct product or service, or distinct bundle, based

accounts and assessing the risk of loss based on insolvency or other collection issues. In addition, the Business routinely analyzes the various receivable aging categories to establish reserves based on a combination of past due receivables and
expected future losses. If the financial condition of a significant customer deteriorates resulting in its inability to pay its accounts when due, or if the Business&#146;s overall loss trajectory changes significantly, an adjustment in the

</I></B></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Business records an accrual for estimated warranty costs when revenue is recognized. The Business generally warrants its
products for a period of one to five years, with a small number of products having a warranty ranging up to ten years or more. The warranty provision considers estimated product failure rates and trends, estimated replacement costs, estimated repair
costs which include scrap costs and estimated costs for customer compensatory claims related to product quality issues, if any. For warranties ten years or greater, including lifetime warranties, the Business uses the estimated useful life of the
product to calculate the warranty exposure. A statistical warranty tracking model is used to help prepare estimates and assist the Business in exercising judgment in determining the underlying estimates. The statistical tracking model captures
specific detail on product reliability, such as factory test data, historical field return rates and costs to repair by product type. Management&#146;s judgment is subject to a greater degree of subjectivity with respect to newly introduced products
because of limited field experience with those products upon which to base warranty estimates. Management reviews the warranty accrual quarterly for products shipped in prior periods and which are still under warranty. Any changes in the estimates
underlying the accrual may result in adjustments that impact current period gross profit and income. Such changes are generally a result of differences between forecasted and actual return rate experience and costs to repair and could differ
significantly from the estimates. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; margin-left:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B><I>Litigation and Other Contingencies </I></B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">When the Business becomes aware of a claim or potential claim, the Business assesses the likelihood of any loss or exposure. The Business
discloses information regarding each material claim where the likelihood of a loss contingency is probable or reasonably possible. If a loss contingency is probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated, the Business records an
accrual for the loss. In such cases, there may be an exposure to potential loss in excess of the amount accrued. Where a loss is not probable but is reasonably possible or where a loss in excess of the amount accrued is reasonably possible, the
Business discloses an estimate of the amount of the loss or range of possible losses for the claim if a reasonable estimate can be made, unless the amount of such reasonably possible losses is not material to the Business&#146;s financial position,
results of operations or cash flows. The ability to predict the ultimate outcome of such matters involves judgments, estimates and inherent uncertainties. The actual outcome of such matters could differ materially from management&#146;s estimates.

contracts are reported in cost of revenue and operating expenses and presented within cash flows from operating activities. Hedge effectiveness is measured by comparing the hedging instrument&#146;s cumulative change in fair value from inception to
maturity to the underlying exposure&#146;s terminal value. The Business determined the ineffectiveness associated with its cash flow hedges to be immaterial to the Combined Financial Statements for the periods presented. </P>

qualitative factors to determine whether goodwill is <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">more-likely-than-not</FONT> impaired and whether a quantitative test for impairment is considered necessary.
If the Business concludes from the qualitative assessment that goodwill is <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap"><FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">more-likely-than-not-impaired,</FONT></FONT> the Business is required to perform a quantitative approach to
determine the amount of impairment. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Management identified several factors, including changes in industry and macroeconomic conditions,
that warranted a quantitative analysis of impairment for the Business during fiscal year 2023. The fair value of the operating segment was based on a weighting of two valuation methodologies: an income approach and a market approach. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The income approach was based on the present value of the projected discounted cash flows (&#147;DCF&#148;) expected to be generated by the
operating segment. Those projections required the use of significant estimates and assumptions specific to the reporting unit as well as those based on general economic conditions, which included, among other factors, revenue growth rates, gross
margins, operating costs, capital expenditures, assumed tax rates and other assumptions deemed reasonable by management. The present value was based on applying a weighted average cost of capital (&#147;WACC&#148;) which considered long-term
interest rates and cost of equity based on the Business&#146;s risk profile. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The market approach was based on a guideline Business
method, which analyzed market multiples of revenue for a group of comparable public companies. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Business reconciled the aggregated
estimated fair value of the operating segment to our Parent&#146;s market capitalization, including consideration of a control premium representing the estimated amount a market participant would pay to obtain a controlling interest in the Business.
</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Management determined that the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeded its fair value as derived from the valuation methodologies
described above, resulting in recognition of a $671&nbsp;million impairment charge for the fiscal year ended June&nbsp;30, 2023. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The
Business is required to use judgment when assessing goodwill for impairment, including evaluating the impact of industry and macroeconomic conditions and the determination of the fair value of the reporting unit. In addition, the estimates used to
determine the fair value of the reporting unit as well as the actual carrying value may change based on future changes in the Business&#146;s results of operations, macroeconomic conditions or other factors. Changes in these estimates could
materially affect the Business&#146;s assessment of the fair value and goodwill impairment. In addition, if negative macroeconomic conditions continue or worsen, goodwill could become further impaired, which could result in an additional impairment
charge and materially adversely affect the Business&#146;s financial condition and results of operations. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In May 2022, the Business made
a decision to exit its <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">RISC-V</FONT> development operations and completed the sale of a portion of the business for a price of $25&nbsp;million. The sale of this business included the transfer of a small number of
employees and an immaterial amount of other tangible and intangible assets as well as goodwill. The transaction resulted in a gain of approximately $9&nbsp;million recorded in employee termination, asset impairment and other charges in the Combined
Statements of Operations for the fiscal year ended July&nbsp;1, 2022. The revenues and expenses related to this business were not material to the Combined Financial Statements and did not qualify to be reported as a discontinued operation. The
operating results of this business have been reflected in the Business&#146;s results from continuing operations in the Combined Statements of Operations through the date of disposition. </P>

contracts are valued using an income approach that is based on a present value of future cash flows model. The market-based observable inputs for the model include forward rates and credit default swap rates. For more information on the
Business&#146;s foreign exchange contracts, see Note 7, <I>Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities</I>. Derivative assets and liabilities are reflected in the Business&#146;s Combined Balance Sheets under other current assets and accrued

all periods presented and determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of any of the entities within Flash Ventures because it does not have a controlling financial interest in any of those entities. In determining whether the Business is the
primary beneficiary, the Business analyzed the primary purpose and design of Flash Ventures, the activities that most significantly impact Flash Ventures&#146; economic performance, and whether the Business had the power to direct those activities.

Incentive Plan (the &#147;2021 Plan&#148;), the Western Digital Corporation Amended and Restated 2017 Performance Incentive Plan (the &#147;2017 Plan&#148;), and the SanDisk Corporation 2013 Incentive Plan (&#147;SanDisk Plan&#148;), a plan assumed
in connection with the acquisition of SanDisk Corporation by our Parent, our employees were awarded stock-based incentive awards in a number of forms, including nonqualified stock options. Upon the effective date of the 2021 Plan, no new awards were
granted under the 2017 Plan. The types of awards that may be granted under the 2021 Plan include stock options, stock appreciation rights (&#147;SARs&#148;), RSUs, PSUs, restricted stock and other forms of awards granted or denominated in the
Parent&#146;s common stock or units of the Parent&#146;s common stock, as well as cash awards. Awards granted to our employees under the incentive plans generally vest over periods ranging from two to four years. We measure stock-based compensation
for all stock-based incentive awards at fair value on the grant date. Stock-based compensation expense is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service periods of the awards. Compensation costs associated with our
employees&#146; participation in the incentive plans have been specifically identified for employees who exclusively support our operations and are allocated to us as part of the cost allocations from our Parent. We include the related expense in
operating expense (selling, general, and administrative) and cost of revenue on our Combined Statements of Operations, depending on the nature of the employee&#146;s role in our operations. </P>

range of tax reform proposals affecting businesses. Our Parent completed its accounting for the tax effects of the enactment of the 2017 Act during the second quarter of 2019. However, the U.S. Treasury and the IRS have issued tax guidance on
certain provisions of the 2017 Act since the enactment date, and the Business anticipates the issuance of additional regulatory and interpretive guidance. The Parent applied a reasonable interpretation of the 2017 Act along with the then-available
guidance in finalizing its accounting for the tax effects of the 2017 Act. Any additional regulatory or interpretive guidance would constitute new information, which may require further refinements to the Business&#146;s estimates in future periods.

related to tax, climate, energy and health care. The tax measures include, among other things, a corporate alternative minimum tax (&#147;CAMT&#148;) of 15% on corporations with three-year average annual adjusted financial statement income
(&#147;AFSI&#148;) exceeding $1.00&nbsp;billion. The corporate alternative minimum tax will be effective for the Business beginning with 2024 and the Business is currently evaluating the potential effects of these legislative changes. </P>

change, if any, in the unrecognized tax benefits that is reasonably possible within the next twelve months. Any significant change in the amount of the Business&#146;s liability for unrecognized tax benefits would most likely result from additional

conditions, after which, JCET will own 80% of the equity interest in SDSS, with SanDisk China owning the remaining 20%. Following the Closing, WDC expects to enter into various ancillary agreements, including (i) a shareholders agreement governing
the joint venture relationships from and after the Closing; (ii) a supply agreement with the joint venture to supply WDC with certain flash-based products currently produced by SDSS, which may include flash memory cards, embedded flash products, and
flash components; and (iii) an intellectual property license agreement granting SDSS certain intellectual property rights on a royalty-free basis for use in manufacturing products on WDC&#146;s behalf for the term of and pursuant to the Supply
Agreement. As a result of the transaction, our Parent expects to incur a reduction in annual capital expenditures related to assembly and testing of flash-based products. Our Parent also anticipates that the transition to a contract manufacturing
model through SDSS will result in a small increase in the Business&#146;s annual cost of revenue for flash-based products. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">On May&nbsp;16
and May&nbsp;30, 2024, AP WD Holdings L.P. converted all of the 665,000 shares of WDC preferred stock acquired by it on January&nbsp;31, 2023, into 15,105,979 shares of WDC common stock which it then sold in Rule 144 sales. As a result of such
transactions, there are 235,000 shares of WDC preferred stock remaining outstanding. </P>
