**Item 1. Security and Issuer**

**(a) Title of Class of Securities:**

QUANTUM CORP /DE/

**(c) Address of Issuer's Principal Executive Offices:**
10770 E. Briarwood Avenue, Centennial, CO, 80112

This Amendment No. 2 (this "Amendment" or "Amendment No. 2") amends and supplements the Statement on Schedule 13D originally filed by the Reporting Persons with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") on October 10, 2025 (the "Original Statement"), as amended and supplemented by Amendment No. 1 to the Statement on Schedule 13D filed by the Reporting Persons with the SEC on December 22, 2025 ("Amendment No. 1" and, together with the Original Statement, the "Amended Statement"), which relates to the Common Stock of Quantum Corporation (the "Issuer"). Except as otherwise described herein, the information contained in the Amended Statement remains in effect. Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment shall have the respective meanings set forth with respect thereto in the Amended Statement.

**Item 4. Purpose of Transaction**

Item 4 of the Amended Statement is hereby amended by adding the following paragraphs to the end of Item 4:

January 8, 2026 Conversion Price Adjustment Notice

On January 8, 2026, the Issuer notified Dialectic that, effective after the close of business on the most recent Reset Price Date (being December 31, 2025), the Conversion Price of the Convertible Notes was automatically adjusted pursuant to the quarterly reset provisions of the Indenture, from $10.00 to $7.8050.  After giving effect to such adjustment, the Convertible Notes are convertible into an aggregate of 7,010,649 shares of Common Stock.

RSU Issuance to Mr. Fichthorn

On January 1, 2026, Mr. Fichthorn was issued 12,000 RSUs in connection with his continued service on the Issuer's Board of Directors. Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of common stock of the Issuer. The RSUs vest in full on the earlier of January 1, 2027 or the date of the Company's next annual meeting of stockholders, in each case subject to Mr. Fichthorn's continued service on the Issuer's Board of Directors.

**Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer**

**(a)**
See rows (11) and (13) of the cover page to this Schedule 13D for the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock and percentage of Common Stock that would be beneficially owned by each Reporting Person upon (i) the exercise in full (and for cash, not on a net-exercise basis) of the Forbearance Warrant and (ii) the conversion of the Convertible Notes. The aggregate percentage of Common Stock reported beneficially owned by each Reporting Person upon exercise of the Forbearance Warrant and full conversion of the Convertible Notes is based upon 13,721,291 shares of Common Stock outstanding as of November 11, 2025, as reported in the Issuer's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 13, 2025.

**(b)**
See rows (7) through (10) of the cover page to this Schedule 13D for the shares of Common Stock as to which each Reporting Person would have the sole or shared power to vote or direct the vote and sole or shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition upon (i) the exercise in full (and for cash, not on a net-exercise basis) of the Forbearance Warrant and (ii) the conversion of the Convertible Notes.

Dialectic would directly hold any Common Stock beneficially owned by it upon any exercise of the Forbearance Warrant and the conversion of the Convertible Notes. Dialectic Manager, as the manager of Dialectic, and Mr. Fichthorn, as the Manager of Dialectic Manager, may each be deemed to have the shared power to direct the voting and disposition of shares of Common Stock owned by Dialectic and, consequently, Mr. Fichthorn and Dialectic Manager may each be deemed to possess indirect beneficial ownership of such shares upon (i) any exercise by Dialectic of the Forbearance Warrant and (ii) the conversion of the Convertible Notes. Mr. Fichthorn and Dialectic Manager disclaim beneficial ownership of such shares for all other purposes.

Without giving effect to any exercise of the Forbearance Warrant or conversion of the Convertible Notes, Mr. Fichthorn directly holds and has the sole power to vote and dispose of 10,866 shares of Common Stock and 16,405 RSUs.

**(c)**
Except as described in Item 4 of this Amendment, no transactions in shares of Common Stock have been effected by the Reporting Persons since the filing of Amendment No. 1.

**Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.**

Item 6 of the Amended Statement is hereby amended by adding the following to the end thereof:

The information set forth in Item 4 of Amendment No. 2 is incorporated herein by reference.
