Item 14.    Indemnification of Directors and Officers
 
The articles of association of the registrant provide for the indemnification of its directors and officers. Specifically, under the indemnification provisions, the registrant will indemnify its directors and officers against liabilities that are incurred by the directors or officers while carrying out the affairs of the company or discharging the duties of their respective offices. The directors and officers, however, will not be entitled to the indemnification if they incurred the liabilities through their own willful neglect or default.
 
The board resolutions of the registrant provide for the indemnification of its directors and officers against any claims arising out of or relating to the preparation, filing and distribution of this registration statement or the prospectus contained in this registration statement. The resolutions expressly authorize the registrant to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law.
 
The registrant is an exempted company with limited liability incorporated in the Cayman Islands. As such, it is subject to and governed by the laws of the Cayman Islands with respect to the indemnification provisions. Although The Companies Law (2002 Revision) of the Cayman Islands does not specifically restrict a Cayman Islands company’s ability to indemnify its directors or officers, it does not expressly provide for such indemnification either. Certain Commonwealth case law (which is likely to be persuasive in the Cayman Islands), however, indicate that the indemnification is generally permissible, unless there had been fraud, willful default or reckless disregard on the part of the director or officer in question.
 
The registrant has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and officers, whereby the registrant agreed to indemnify its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by law, including indemnification against expenses and liabilities incurred in legal proceedings to which the director or officer was, or is threatened to be made, a party by reason of the fact that such director or officer is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the registrant, provided that such director or officer acted in good faith and in a manner that the director or officer reasonably believed to be in, or not opposed to, the best interest of the registrant. At present, there is no pending litigation or proceeding involving a director or officer of the registrant regarding which indemnification is sought, nor is the registrant aware of any threatened litigation that may result in claims for indemnification.
 

II-1


The registrant maintains insurance policies that indemnify its directors and officers against various liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 that might be incurred by any director or officer in his capacity as such.
 
The underwriters are obligated, under certain circumstances, pursuant to the underwriting agreement to be filed as Exhibit 1.1 hereto, to indemnify the registrant, the selling shareholder, the directors, certain officers and controlling persons of the registrant against liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
 
Item 15.    Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities
 
In the three years prior to the filing of this registration statement, the registrant issued the following unregistered securities:
 
 
1.
On November 22, 2000, Seagate Technology International, a subsidiary of the registrant, sold $210 million aggregate principal amount of its 12½% senior subordinated notes due 2007 to Chase Securities Inc., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Goldman, Sachs & Co. in a private placement conducted pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The registrant and certain subsidiaries of the registrant’s parent, New SAC, jointly and severally guaranteed the notes on an unsecured senior subordinated basis. On April 20, 2001, Seagate Technology International and the guarantors of the notes filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 relating to (i) the registration of Seagate Technology International’s 12½% senior subordinated notes due 2007 and (ii) Seagate Technology International’s offer to exchange the registered notes for the privately placed notes. On April 27, 2001, Seagate Technology International and the guarantors filed with the SEC amendment no. 1 to the registration statement. On March 28, 2002, Seagate Technology International and the guarantors withdrew such registration statement. On May 13, 2002, Seagate Technology International repurchased all of the outstanding privately placed notes from the holders thereof. As a result of this repurchase, the guarantee obligations of the registrant and the other guarantors under the indenture that governed the notes were discharged and extinguished.
 
 
2.
On May 13, 2002, Seagate Technology HDD Holdings, a subsidiary of the registrant, sold $400 million aggregate principal amount of its 8% senior notes due 2009 to Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated, J.P. Morgan Securities Inc., Credit Suisse First Boston Corporation, Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated and Salomon Smith Barney Inc. in a private placement conducted pursuant to Section 4(2) of the Securities Act. The registrant guaranteed the notes on a senior unsecured basis. On May 16, 2002, Seagate Technology HDD Holdings and the registrant filed with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-4 relating to (i) the registration of Seagate Technology HDD Holdings’ 8% senior notes due 2009 and (ii) Seagate Technology HDD Holdings’ offer to exchange the registered notes for the privately placed notes. Seagate Technology HDD Holdings and the registrant filed with the SEC amendment no. 1 thereto on July 5, 2002, amendment no. 2 thereto on August 2, 2002, amendment no. 3 thereto on September 9, 2002, amendment no. 4 thereto on September 27, 2002, amendment no. 5 thereto on October 11, 2002, amendment no. 6 thereto on November 8, 2002, amendment no. 7 thereto on November 18, 2002, amendment no. 8 thereto on November 27, 2002 and amendment no. 9 thereto on December 6, 2002. Neither Seagate Technology HDD Holdings nor the registrant will receive any proceeds from the exchange offer.
 
 
3.
As of September 27, 2002, 74,251,969 common shares are subject to outstanding options granted under the registrant’s 2001 share option plan, consisting of:
 
 
·
 
options to purchase 60,437,670 common shares at an exercise price of $2.30 per share, of which 2,470,017 shares have been exercised;
 
 
·
 
options to purchase 9,613,240 common shares at an exercise price of $5.00 per share, none of which have been exercised; and
 
 
·
 
options to purchase 4,201,059 common shares at an exercise price of $10.00 per share, none of which have been exercised.

II-2


 
The issuance of the common shares under such plan was deemed to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act by virtue of Rule 701 promulgated under Section 3(b) of the Securities Act as transactions pursuant to compensation benefit plans and contracts relating to compensation.
 
 
4.
Upon the incorporation of the registrant on August 10, 2000, two subscriber shares were issued to the incorporators. On October 23, 2000, both of these shares were transferred to the registrant’s parent company, New SAC. At the same time, an additional 998 common shares were issued to New SAC for $1,996. On November 22, 2000, New SAC subscribed for another 1,000 common shares for $662,404,742. On May 30, 2001, the registrant issued another 2,000 common shares to New SAC for $2,000. On May 31, 2001, in connection with the registrant’s recapitalization, the 4,000 common shares held by New SAC were divided into 400,000,000 shares and redesignated as the registrant’s Series A preferred shares. These issuances to New SAC were made in reliance upon Section 4(2) of the Securities Act as transactions not involving a public offering.

Item 17.    Undertakings
 
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to provide to the underwriter at the closing specified in the underwriting agreement, certificates in such denominations and registered in such names as required by the underwriter to permit prompt delivery to each purchaser.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that:
 
1.  For purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, the information omitted from the form of prospectus filed as part of this registration statement in reliance upon Rule 430A and contained in a form of prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(1) or (4) or 497(h) under the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of this registration statement as of the time it was declared effective.
 
2.  For the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act of 1933, each post-effective amendment that contains a form of prospectus shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.
