<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">On May&nbsp;31, 2013, Seagate Technology plc (the &#147;Company&#148;) announced the early tender results of the cash tender offer announced by its wholly owned subsidiary, Seagate HDD Cayman (&#147;HDD Cayman&#148;), on May&nbsp;16, 2013 (the &#147;Tender Offer&#148;) to purchase the outstanding 7.75% Senior Notes due 2018, CUSIP number 81180WAE1 (the &#147;2018 Notes&#148;), and the outstanding 6.800% Senior Notes due 2016, CUSIP number 81180RAE2 (the &#147;2016 Notes&#148;). As of the previously announced early tender date at 5:00&nbsp;p.m., New York City time, on May&nbsp;30, 2013, HDD Cayman had received tenders for an aggregate principal amount of approximately $398 million of the 2018 Notes and an aggregate principal amount of approximately $190 million of the 2016 Notes.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">HDD Cayman also announced today that it has increased the aggregate principal amount of notes that it has offered to purchase in the Tender Offer from $250 million to $700 million. In addition, HDD Cayman announced today that it has extended the period during which notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) are eligible to receive the early tender premium described in HDD Cayman&#146;s Offer to Purchase, dated May&nbsp;16, 2013 (as amended, the &#147;Offer to Purchase&#148;) and the related Letter of Transmittal (as amended, the &#147;Letter of Transmittal&#148;) from the previously announced early tender date of May&nbsp;30, 2013 until June&nbsp;13, 2013. The announcement amended the Offer to Purchase and Letter of Transmittal to change the &#147;Maximum Tender Amount&#148; to $700 million and to change the &#147;Early Tender Date&#148; to 11:59&nbsp;p.m., New York City time, on June&nbsp;13, 2013, unless extended by HDD Cayman. Other than the Maximum Tender Offer Amount and Early Tender Date, all terms and conditions of the Tender Offer described in the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal remained unchanged.</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">&nbsp;</font></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in .0001pt;"><font size="2" face="Times New Roman" style="font-size:10.0pt;">The Tender Offer will expire at 11:59&nbsp;p.m., New York City time, on June&nbsp;13, 2013 unless extended or earlier terminated by HDD Cayman (the &#147;Expiration Date&#148;). HDD Cayman currently expects that notes validly tendered will be settled on June&nbsp;14, 2014. Both the Withdrawal Date (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) and the Expiration Date remain unchanged. Because the Withdrawal Date has passed, holders who validly tender their notes or have already tendered their notes may no longer withdraw such notes.</font></p>

Item 8.01      Other Events.
On May 31, 2013, Seagate Technology plc (the "Company") announced the early tender results of the cash tender offer announced by its wholly owned subsidiary, Seagate HDD Cayman ("HDD Cayman"), on May 16, 2013 (the "Tender Offer") to purchase the outstanding 7.75% Senior Notes due 2018, CUSIP number 81180WAE1 (the "2018 Notes"), and the outstanding 6.800% Senior Notes due 2016, CUSIP number 81180RAE2 (the "2016 Notes"). As of the previously announced early tender date at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on May 30, 2013, HDD Cayman had received tenders for an aggregate principal amount of approximately $398 million of the 2018 Notes and an aggregate principal amount of approximately $190 million of the 2016 Notes.
HDD Cayman also announced today that it has increased the aggregate principal amount of notes that it has offered to purchase in the Tender Offer from $250 million to $700 million. In addition, HDD Cayman announced today that it has extended the period during which notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) are eligible to receive the early tender premium described in HDD Cayman's Offer to Purchase, dated May 16, 2013 (as amended, the "Offer to Purchase") and the related Letter of Transmittal (as amended, the "Letter of Transmittal") from the previously announced early tender date of May 30, 2013 until June 13, 2013. The announcement amended the Offer to Purchase and Letter of Transmittal to change the "Maximum Tender Amount" to $700 million and to change the "Early Tender Date" to 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on June 13, 2013, unless extended by HDD Cayman. Other than the Maximum Tender Offer Amount and Early Tender Date, all terms and conditions of the Tender Offer described in the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal remained unchanged.
The Tender Offer will expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on June 13, 2013 unless extended or earlier terminated by HDD Cayman (the "Expiration Date"). HDD Cayman currently expects that notes validly tendered will be settled on June 14, 2014. Both the Withdrawal Date (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) and the Expiration Date remain unchanged. Because the Withdrawal Date has passed, holders who validly tender their notes or have already tendered their notes may no longer withdraw such notes.
A copy of the press release is attached as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
