<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>CUPERTINO, CA</B> &#150; November&nbsp;2, 2018 &#150; Seagate Technology plc (NASDAQ: STX) (the &#147;Company&#148; or &#147;Seagate&#148;) today announced
that its Board of Directors has authorized the Company to repurchase up to $2.3&nbsp;billion of its outstanding ordinary shares (the &#147;October 2018 Authorization&#148;). </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a result of the October 2018 Authorization, Seagate currently has an aggregate authority to repurchase approximately $3.0&nbsp;billion of its ordinary
shares. Share repurchases under the October 2018 Authorization may be made through a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades, accelerated share repurchase transactions, or by any
combination of such methods. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including the ordinary share price, corporate and regulatory requirements and other market and economic conditions. The share
repurchase authorization may be suspended or discontinued at any time. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">&#147;The repurchase authorization reflects the confidence that the Board and the
executive management team have in Seagate&#146;s ability to generate cash, while still investing in innovation and growth opportunities.&#148; said Dave Mosley, Seagate&#146;s chief executive officer.</P>
