Item 1.01

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 18, 2022, Seagate Technology Holdings public limited company (the “Company”) and its subsidiary Seagate HDD Cayman (the “Borrower”) entered into an amendment and joinder (the “Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement, dated as of February 20, 2019, by and among the Company, the Borrower, the lenders party thereto, and The Bank of Nova Scotia, as administrative agent (as amended from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). Pursuant to the Amendment, the Credit Agreement was amended to provide for a $600.0 million principal amount Term Loan A3, the proceeds of which may be used for general corporate purposes of the Borrower. The Term Loan A3 was borrowed in full at the closing of the Amendment. The Term Loan A3 is repayable in quarterly installments beginning on December 31, 2022 and is scheduled to mature on July 30, 2027. Once repaid or prepaid, the Term Loan A3 may not be reborrowed. The Term Loan A3 will bear interest, at the Borrower’s option, at a prime rate plus a variable margin of 0.25% to 1.5% or term SOFR plus a variable margin of 1.25% to 2.50%, in each case with such margin being determined based on the corporate credit rating of the Borrower or one of its parent entities. The Term Loan A3 is guaranteed by the same guarantors (“Guarantors”) that guarantee the Credit Agreement. The Amendment also amended the Credit Agreement to replace the LIBOR interest rate options with term SOFR based interest rate options and to permit the Borrower to increase the revolving loan commitments or obtain new term loans of up to $100.0 million in the aggregate, subject to the satisfaction of certain terms and conditions. The other material terms of the Credit Agreement remain unchanged.

Certain of the lenders under the Credit Agreement and their affiliates have engaged in, and may in the future engage in, investment banking and other commercial dealings in the ordinary course of business with the Borrower or its affiliates. They have received, or may in the future receive, customary fees and commissions for these transactions.
