Western Digital filings document material events for an operating storage company whose common stock trades on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under WDC. Recent 8-K disclosures record quarterly operating and financial results, dividend and capital-structure matters, shareholder voting and governance items, and material agreements.
The filing record also describes security-structure changes, including the mandatory conversion of Series A Convertible Perpetual Preferred Stock into common stock, the Certificate of Elimination for that preferred series, and redemptions or discharge of senior-note obligations. These documents frame WD's public-company reporting around results, debt and equity instruments, governance, and corporate actions following the completed Flash business separation.
Western Digital Corp. (WDC) – Form 4 filing dated 06/23/2025
Director Tunc Doluca reported the automatic acquisition of 9.2245 dividend-equivalent rights on 06/18/2025. The rights relate to previously granted restricted stock units (RSUs) and vest in proportion to the underlying RSUs. Each right converts into one share of common stock (or cash equivalent) at no additional cost. Post-transaction, Doluca beneficially owns 9.2245 derivative securities, held directly. No common shares were sold or disposed of, and no open-market activity occurred.
The filing is routine, reflects normal accrual of dividend equivalents under the company’s equity plan, and does not signal any change in ownership intentions or corporate strategy.
Western Digital Corp. (WDC) – Form 4 insider transaction filed for Chief Sales & Marketing Officer Brian Scott Davis covering activity on 18–20 June 2025.

- Tax withholding sale: 669 common shares disposed (Code F) at $59.29 on 20 Jun 2025 to cover statutory tax withholdings tied to the vesting event.
- Residual holdings: Officer now directly owns 138,757 common shares and 176.6977 outstanding DERs that will settle proportionately with their underlying RSUs.
- Nature of transactions: All movements were non-open-market and stem from pre-existing equity awards; no discretionary buying or selling occurred.
Overall, the filing signals routine equity award settlement rather than a directional valuation statement by the insider.
Western Digital Corp. (WDC) – Form 4 insider filing
Director Kimberly Alexy reported an automatic accrual of 6.3507 dividend-equivalent rights on 18 June 2025. These rights are tied to previously granted restricted stock units (RSUs) and vest in step with the underlying RSUs. Each right represents the contingent right to receive one share of Western Digital common stock (or its cash value). No open-market purchase or sale occurred and the reported price is $0.00, indicating a routine, non-cash adjustment rather than an investment decision. Following the transaction, Alexy now holds 6.3507 derivative securities directly. The filing contains no additional trades in common stock, no option exercises, and no changes to overall share ownership disclosed in this document.
The event is administrative and immaterial to Western Digital’s capital structure; it neither signals insider confidence nor raises governance concerns. Investors typically view such dividend-equivalent credits as standard practice accompanying RSU grants.
