Western Digital Corporation (WDC) amended a recent current report to disclose the final equity component of its previously announced note exchanges. The company had entered into privately negotiated agreements with certain holders of its 3.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028 to exchange approximately $191.0 million aggregate principal amount of these notes for cash and shares of common stock. Because the share amount depended on the volume-weighted average price of the stock on August 26, 2026, it was not available earlier. The amendment now states that an aggregate of 4,653,572 Exchange Shares will be delivered in these exchange transactions; all other aspects of the earlier report remain unchanged.
