Capital structure strategist

Seagate swapped debt for cash plus shares in private exchanges.

Seagate completed privately negotiated exchanges of its subsidiary’s 3.50% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2028. The transaction covered $500 million principal amount, with holders receiving approximately $503.4 million in cash and 4,313,941 shares of ordinary stock as consideration.

Because the exchanges were conducted under Section 4(a)(2), the share issuance occurred via private placement rather than a public offering. The activity closed on November 10, 2025 and November 12, 2025, indicating the terms were set around the November 5, 2025 pricing window specified for determining shares.

From a mechanics perspective, this mixes a cash outlay with equity issuance to address outstanding notes. Actual effects on leverage and share count will track the $500 million principal exchanged and the 4,313,941 shares issued; further disclosures may detail any remaining notes and future actions.
