Item 1.01Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As previously disclosed on February 1, 2010, Seagate Technology (“Seagate” or the “Company”) has decided to move its place of incorporation from the Cayman Islands to Ireland pursuant to a scheme of arrangement (the “Scheme of Arrangement”) under Cayman Islands law, which, upon effectiveness, will result in a newly formed Irish public limited company serving as the publicly traded parent of the Seagate group of companies. In this Current Report on Form 8-K, we refer to the transactions to be effected pursuant to the Scheme of Arrangement and the related transactions as the “Transaction.”

In connection with the Transaction, Seagate Technology International (“STI”) solicited consents (the “Consent Solicitation”) from the holders (the “Holders”) of its 10.00% Senior Secured Second-Priority Notes due 2014 (the “Notes”) to certain amendments (the “Proposed Amendments”) for the Indenture, dated as of May 1, 2009 (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, the “Indenture”), among STI, the Company, the other guarantors party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as trustee (the “Trustee”), pursuant to which the Notes were issued. STI required consents from Holders representing not less than a majority in aggregate principal amount of Notes outstanding to adopt the Proposed Amendments. The Consent Solicitation expired on March 18, 2010. STI has received the requisite number of consents from Holders to adopt the Proposed Amendments.

Third Supplemental Indenture

On March 19, 2010, STI entered into the Third Supplemental Indenture with Seagate, the other guarantors party thereto and the Trustee (the “Third Supplemental Indenture”).

Pursuant to the Third Supplemental Indenture, (i) Seagate Technology was deleted from the definition of “Company” under the Indenture (except in the case of certain limited exceptions), (ii) Seagate Technology plc (“Seagate Ireland”) was added to the definition of “Company” under the Indenture (except in the case of certain limited exceptions), (iii) Seagate Technology was added to the definition of “Guarantor” under the Indenture and (iv) certain other changes were made to the definition of “Change of Control” under the Indenture.  In addition, the exception to the Indenture’s restriction on consolidations, mergers or sales of assets was amended to provide that Seagate Ireland and STI may enter into such transactions with any Person (as defined in the Indenture) if (i) either (a) Seagate Ireland or STI (as applicable) is the continuing Person or (b) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person is a validly existing corporation organized (or incorporated) in Ireland (in the case of Seagate Ireland), the Cayman Islands or the United States or any jurisdiction thereof and (ii) certain other conditions are met.

The Third Supplemental Indenture shall become effective upon (i) the cash fee being paid to all Holders that delivered valid consents on a timely basis relating to the Proposed Amendments and (ii) the Transaction occurring.

The description of the Third Supplemental Indenture contained herein is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Third Supplemental Indenture, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Section 1.02.        Amendment to Section 1.01 of the Indenture.  The Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee hereby agree to amend Section 1.01 of the Indenture, and such Section 1.01 is hereby amended by deleting the definitions of “Change of Control”, “Company” and “Guarantor” in their entirety and adding the following new definitions of “Change of Control”, “Company”, “Guarantor” and “Seagate Technology” in the appropriate alphabetical order:

“Change of Control” means:

(2)           individuals who on the Issue Date constituted the board of directors of the Company (which for purposes of this clause (2) shall be deemed to be directors of Seagate Technology as of the Issue Date) or the Issuer, as applicable (together with any new directors whose election by such board of directors of the Company or the Issuer or whose nomination for election by the shareholders of the Company or the Issuer was approved by a vote of a majority of the directors of the Company or the Issuer then still in office who were either directors on the Issue Date or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved) cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the board of directors of the Company or the Issuer then in office;

(3)           the adoption of a plan relating to the liquidation or dissolution of the Company or the Issuer; or

(4)           the merger or consolidation of the Company or the Issuer with or into another Person or the merger of another Person with or into the Company or the Issuer, or the sale of all or substantially all the assets of the Company or the Issuer (determined on a consolidated basis) to

2

another Person, other than a transaction following which, in the case of a merger or consolidation transaction, holders of securities that represented 100% of the Voting Stock of the Company or the Issuer immediately prior to such transaction (or other securities into which such securities are converted as part of such merger or consolidation transaction) own directly or indirectly at least a majority of the voting power of the Voting Stock of the surviving Person in such merger or consolidation transaction immediately after such transaction and in substantially the same proportion as before the transaction.

“Company” means Seagate Technology plc, a company incorporated under the laws of Ireland, or any successor obligor to its obligations under the Indenture and the Notes pursuant to Article 5; provided that “Company” shall mean Seagate Technology in connection with any reference in the Indenture relating to the “Company” (1) in clause (a) of the definition of “Deferred Compensation Plans”, (2) as a party to any agreement or debt instrument in effect as of the Issue Date or (3) when measuring Consolidated Total Assets as of the last day of a fiscal period for which Seagate Technology plc was not a parent company of Seagate Technology.

“Guarantor” means the Company, Seagate Technology and each other Restricted Subsidiary that Guarantees the Notes in existence on the Issue Date or executes a supplemental indenture in the form of Exhibit B to the Indenture providing for the Guarantee of the payment of the Notes, or any successor obligor under its Note Guaranty pursuant to Article 5, in each case unless and until such Guarantor is released from its Note Guaranty pursuant to the Indenture.

“Seagate Technology” means Seagate Technology, an exempted limited liability company organized under the laws of the Cayman Islands.

Section 1.03.        Amendment to Section 5.01(a) of the Indenture.  The Issuer, the Guarantors and the Trustee hereby agree to amend clause (1) of Section 5.01(a) of the Indenture, and such clause (1) of Section 5.01(a) is hereby amended by deleting such clause in its entirety and inserting in lieu thereof the following new clause (1):

“(1)         either (x) the Company or the Issuer (as applicable) is the continuing Person or (y) the resulting, surviving or transferee Person is a corporation organized (or incorporated) and validly existing under the laws of Ireland (in the case of the Company), the Cayman Islands or the United States of America or any jurisdiction thereof and expressly assumes by supplemental indenture all of the obligations of the Company or the Issuer, as applicable, under the Indenture, the Notes and the Security Agreements;”

Section 1.04.        Miscellaneous Amendment to the Indenture.  Notwithstanding any provision in the Indenture to the contrary, the transactions encompassing the “Transaction” (as defined in the Proxy Statement of Seagate Technology, dated March 5, 2010), whereby Seagate Technology plc will become the parent company of Seagate Technology, shall be permitted under the Indenture and shall not cause a Default or an Event of Default under the Indenture or the Notes.  For avoidance of any doubt, Seagate Technology will remain a Guarantor under the Indenture.
