In addition, Mr. Szlosek will receive $15,000 per annum for service on the audit and finance committee.

In connection with the appointment, Seagate and Mr. Szlosek will enter into an indemnification agreement and deed of indemnity, the forms of which were filed with the SEC on (i) October 25, 2024, as Exhibit 10.1 to Seagate's 10-Q dated October 25, 2024, and (ii) January 24, 2025, as Exhibit 10.1 to Seagate's 10-Q dated January 24, 2025, respectively.

There are no arrangements or understandings pursuant to which Mr. Szlosek was selected as a director. Mr. Szlosek does not have a direct or indirect material interest in any transaction required to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
