Exhibit 99.3
UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED STATEMENT OF INCOME
On May 12, 2016, Western Digital Corporation (“Western Digital” or “the Company”) completed its acquisition of SanDisk Corporation (“SanDisk”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) dated October 21, 2015 among Western Digital, SanDisk and Schrader Acquisition Corporation (“Merger Sub”). Merger Sub was a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Western Digital Technologies, Inc. (“WDT”), which is a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Western Digital. At the closing of the acquisition, Merger Sub merged with and into SanDisk with SanDisk continuing as the surviving corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of WDT (the “Merger”). Each issued and outstanding share of SanDisk common stock received $67.50 per share in cash and 0.2387 shares of Western Digital common stock (“Merger Consideration”). All vested “in-the-money” SanDisk employee stock options also received the Merger Consideration, less the applicable option exercise price. In addition, the Company assumed all vested “out-of-the-money” SanDisk employee stock options, all unvested employee stock options and all unvested restricted unit awards (“RSUs”), which were converted to Western Digital equity awards in accordance with the Merger Agreement. The aggregate purchase price of the SanDisk acquisition was $15.6 billion, consisting of $13.8 billion in cash funded with existing cash and cash from new debt, 49 million newly issued shares of the Company’s common stock with a fair value of $1.8 billion and the fair value of stock options and RSUs assumed, which was less than $0.1 billion.
The Company entered into new debt facilities with a borrowing capacity of $18.1 billion to, among other things, pay part of the purchase price, settle existing debt of Western Digital and SanDisk, and pay transaction related fees and expenses (collectively, the “Financing Transactions”). The Financing Transactions consisted of the following new debt and debt settlements.
Notes
$1.875 billion aggregate principal amount of 7.375% senior secured notes due 2023.
$3.350 billion aggregate principal amount of 10.500% senior unsecured notes due 2024.
New Credit Agreement
$4.125 billion Term Loan A, interest, at the Company’s option, at an adjusted LIBOR rate, subject to a 0.00% floor, plus 2.00% or at a base rate plus 1.00%.
$3.75 billion U.S. Term Loan B, interest, at the Company’s option, at an adjusted LIBOR rate, subject to a 0.75% floor, plus 5.50% or at a base rate plus 4.50%. On August 17, 2016, the Company borrowed $3.0 billion under a new U.S. dollar-denominated U.S. Term Loan B-1 and used the proceeds of this new loan and cash of $750 million to prepay in full the U.S. Term Loan B previously outstanding under the New Credit Agreement. The U.S. Term Loan B-1 has an interest rate equal to, at the Company’s option, either an adjusted LIBOR rate, subject to a 0.75% floor, plus 3.75% or at a base rate plus 2.75%.
€885 million Euro Term Loan B (approximately $1.0 billion, based on the Euro exchange rate at the time of the Merger), interest at an adjusted EURIBOR rate, subject to a 0.75% floor, plus 5.25%. On September 22, 2016, the Company borrowed €885 million under a new Euro-denominated Euro Term Loan B-1 and used the proceeds of this new loan to prepay in full the Euro Term Loan B previously outstanding under the New Credit Agreement. The Euro Term Loan B-1 has an interest rate equal to an adjusted EURIBOR rate, subject to a 0.75% floor, plus 3.25%.
$1.0 billion revolving credit facility, which includes a $200 million sublimit for letters of credit, interest, at the Company’s option, at an adjusted LIBOR rate, subject to a 0.00% floor, plus 2.00% or at a base rate plus 1.00%. The revolving credit facility is initially subject to a 0.30% per annum commitment fee, subject to step-downs to 0.20% and 0.25% and a step-up to 0.35% based on the Company’s total leverage ratio.
$3.0 billion short-term senior secured bridge loan, interest at LIBOR plus 2.00%. This bridge loan was repaid in full on July 21, 2016.

Settlement of Existing Western Digital Debt
On May 12, 2016, pursuant to the terms of the New Credit Agreement, the Company repaid all outstanding loans, together with accrued interest and related fees, of approximately $2.2 billion and terminated all commitments under the Company’s previous credit agreement dated January 9, 2014, as amended.

Settlement of SanDisk Convertible Notes
In connection with the Merger, holders of $996 million principal amount of the SanDisk convertible senior notes due 2017 and $1.438 billion of the SanDisk convertible senior notes due 2020 exercised their right to settle those notes in exchange for an aggregate of $3.076 billion in cash and approximately 2.3 million shares of the Company’s common stock, which shares had an aggregate value of approximately $110 million on the date of settlement. In connection with the settlement of these notes, the Company also settled a related portion of its outstanding bond hedge agreements which provided the Company with $470 million of cash and 1.7 million shares of the Company’s common stock which had an aggregate value of $81 million on the date of settlement. The Company also terminated related warrant agreements which were issued in connection with these notes.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income has been prepared using the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with ASC 805, “Business Combinations”, with Western Digital treated as the legal and accounting acquirer. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the year ended July 1, 2016 gives effect to the Merger and the Financing Transactions as if those events had occurred on July 4, 2015, the first day of Western Digital’s fiscal year ended July 1, 2016. The historical financial statements have been adjusted in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income to give effect to events that are (i) directly attributable to the Merger and the Financing Transactions, (ii) factually supportable, and (iii) with respect to the statements of income, expected to have a continuing impact on the combined company. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income does not reflect any non-recurring charges directly related to the Merger and the Financing Transactions that the combined company may have incurred upon completion of the Merger and the Financing Transactions. Further, because the tax rate used for this unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income is an estimated statutory tax rate, it will likely vary from the actual effective rate in periods subsequent to the completion of the Merger and the Financing Transactions.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income has been prepared for informational purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of what the combined company’s condensed consolidated results of operations actually would have been had the Merger and the Financing Transactions been completed as of the date indicated nor does it purport to project the future operating results of the combined company. The fair value of SanDisk’s identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed are based on preliminary estimates of fair value. As of the date of filing of the Current Report on Form 8-K to which the following unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income is attached, the Company has not completed the detailed valuation work necessary to finalize the required estimated fair values of the SanDisk assets acquired and liabilities assumed and related allocation of purchase price. The purchase price allocation and related amortization included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income are preliminary and have been made solely for purposes of preparing this unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income. Management anticipates that the values assigned to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed will be finalized during the one-year measurement period following the date of completion of the Merger. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting may occur and these differences could have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income and the combined company’s future results of operations. In addition, certain reclassifications have been made to SanDisk’s historical financial statements to conform to the presentation used in Western Digital’s historical financial statements. Such reclassifications had no effect on SanDisk’s previously reported results of operations.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income does not include any adjustments for the anticipated benefits from cost savings or synergies of Western Digital and SanDisk operating as a combined company. However, charges may be recorded for severance, relocation or additional retention costs in subsequent periods related to employees of both companies, as well as the costs of vacating certain leased facilities of either company or other costs associated with integrating the companies. The ultimate recognition of such costs would affect amounts in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income, and such costs could be material.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income should be read in conjunction with the:
accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income;
audited historical consolidated financial statements of Western Digital as of and for the fiscal years ended July 1, 2016, included in Western Digital’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2016;
audited historical consolidated financial statements of SanDisk as of and for the fiscal years ended January 3, 2016, included in SanDisk’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 3, 2016 and Western Digital's Form 8-K/A filed on July 25, 2016;
unaudited historical condensed consolidated financial statements of SanDisk as of and for the six months ended June 28, 2015, included in SanDisk’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended June 28, 2015; and

unaudited historical condensed consolidated financial statements of SanDisk as of and for the three months ended April 3, 2016, included in SanDisk’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended April 3, 2016 and Western Digital's Form 8-K/A filed on July 25, 2016.
Western Digital and SanDisk have different fiscal year ends which end on the Friday nearest to June 30 and the Sunday closest to December 31, respectively. For purposes of this pro forma condensed combined statement of income, SanDisk’s historical results have been aligned to more closely conform to the fiscal year of Western Digital and information for both companies was derived as follows:
Western Digital’s historical financial information for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2016 is derived from Western Digital’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on August 26, 2016.
SanDisk's historical financial information for the period from June 29, 2015 to May 11, 2016 is derived by adding the historical financial information for SanDisk for the year ended January 3, 2016 included in SanDisk’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on February 12, 2016, the historical financial information for SanDisk for the three-month period ended April 3, 2016 included in SanDisk’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 2, 2016, and SanDisk's internal financial information for the period from April 4, 2016 to May 11, 2016 (the last day of operations before the Merger), and subtracting the historical financial information for SanDisk for the six month period ended June 28, 2015 included in SanDisk’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on July 31, 2015.

1.
Basis of Presentation
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income is prepared in accordance with Article 11 of SEC Regulation S-X. The historical financial information has been adjusted to give effect to the transactions that are (i) directly attributable to the Merger and the Financing Transactions, (ii) factually supportable and (iii) expected to have a continuing impact on the operating results of the combined company. The historical financial information of Western Digital and SanDisk is presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).
The acquisition accounting adjustments relating to the Merger are preliminary and subject to change, as additional information becomes available and as additional analyses are performed. There can be no assurances that the final valuations will not result in material changes to this preliminary purchase price allocation. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income does not give effect to the potential impact of any anticipated benefits from cost savings or synergies that may result from the Merger or to any future integration costs. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income does not purport to project the future operating results of the combined company following the Merger and the Financing Transactions.
The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of income for the fiscal year ended July 1, 2016 has not been adjusted for non-recurring transaction costs incurred after the date of these financial statements or estimated retention bonuses, and other items that are expected to have a one-time impact on the pro forma combined net income in the twelve months following the Merger. These other items include the expected impact on post-merger revenue and cost of revenue in the twelve months following the Merger resulting from purchase accounting adjustments to reflect deferred revenue and inventory at fair value. There were no material revenue transactions between the companies during the year.
Certain reclassifications have been made to SanDisk’s historical financial statements to conform to the presentation used in Western Digital’s historical consolidated financial statements. Such reclassifications had no effect on SanDisk’s previously reported financial position or results of operations.
