Monitor the conversion window through November 12, 2026 for the actual number of shares issued; the capped call transactions should offset dilution from the conversion premium, but the cash portion of settlement reduces cash reserves. This is a routine refinancing event with modest EPS dilution — no immediate trading catalyst.

Executive Summary
Western Digital announced the redemption of all $109.5M of its 3.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028, with a redemption date of November 16, 2026. The company expects substantially all holders to convert into common stock prior to redemption, settling the conversion obligation with cash up to par and shares for any excess, with no modification to related capped call transactions. This is a routine liability management move that eliminates a fixed-income obligation and reduces future interest expense, but the conversion will result in share dilution to common equity holders.
Key Facts
- Western Digital is redeeming all $109,505,000 aggregate principal amount of its 3.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2028.
- Redemption date is November 16, 2026; holders may convert until November 12, 2026.
- Conversion rate is 26.5231 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes.
- Company elected a cash percentage of 0% for conversions, meaning it will pay cash up to par and settle any excess in common stock.
- No settlement or modification to the related capped call transactions is anticipated.
- After redemption, no Notes will remain outstanding.
Financial Impact
Redemption of $109.5M in convertible notes; conversion at 26.5231 shares per $1,000 implies potential issuance of up to ~2.9M shares (approximately 0.9% of shares outstanding based on $161.2B market cap and ~$55 stock price).
Risk Factors
- If a significant portion of note holders choose cash redemption instead of conversion, Western Digital would need to use ~$109.5M in cash, reducing liquidity.
- Share dilution from conversion could pressure EPS in future quarters, though capped calls partially mitigate this.
