Western Digital Corp. (“Western Digital”) (NASDAQ: WDC) today issued the following statement regarding a letter sent by Elliott Management to Western Digital’s Board of Directors:

“Western Digital maintains an ongoing dialogue with our shareholders and values constructive input on our business.

Our Board of Directors is committed to acting in the best interests of all our shareholders and will carefully consider Elliott’s ideas.”

We will continue our commitment to innovation and our focus on delivering the quality, performance and cost-effectiveness our customers rely on. Our CEO, David Goeckeler and the Board of Directors have explored a range of options to unlock and deliver long-term value and we will continue our ongoing dialogue with our shareholders.”
