This 424B7 filing finalizes the terms and pricing for a significant secondary offering by Western Digital Corporation (WDC), following the S-3ASR and preliminary 424B7 filed on February 17, 2026. WDC is selling 5,821,135 shares of Sandisk common stock at $545.00 per share, which represents a notable discount of approximately 7.7% to Sandisk's closing price of $590.59 on February 17, 2026. This offering, valued at approximately $3.085 billion, significantly reduces WDC's ownership stake in Sandisk, as it will hold only 1,691,884 shares after the transaction. Sandisk Corporation will not receive any proceeds from this sale, as it is a disposition by a selling stockholder. The substantial divestment by a former parent company, coupled with the discounted pricing, could create an overhang on Sandisk's stock, despite the removal of a large block of potential future sales from WDC's remaining holdings.
