Seagate completes $2.8 billion note exchange, stripping covenants from old notes
On June 30, 2025, Seagate Data Storage Technology issued new senior notes in exchange for $2,809,835,357 of old Seagate HDD notes across eight series that were validly tendered as of the June 26 expiration. The supplemental indentures remove restrictive covenants from the old notes and release their guarantors, which changes the terms that bind holders who did not tender.
Key points
- Eight series of old notes exchanged for new notes on the June 30, 2025 settlement date, with $2,809,835,357 aggregate principal amount tendered and accepted as of 5:00 p.m. New York time on June 26, 2025.
- New notes carry the same interest rates, payment dates and maturity dates as the corresponding old notes.
- Eligible holders received $1,000 principal amount of new notes and $1.25 cash for each $1,000 of old notes tendered.
- Old notes lost all restrictive covenants and guarantor obligations under the amended indentures, which bind holders who did not tender.
