Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )The vesting for these awards issued under the 2004 Stock Compensation Plan is subject to both continuous employment and specified performance goals. The earliest possible vesting is 25% annually over four years, however, depending on the timing of the achievement of specified performance goals, the grantee has up to seven years to completely vest in the award. Part or all of the award will not be vested if the employment ends prior to complete vesting or if the performance goal is not achieved as of the last vesting opportunity. ( 2 )Options granted to the Reporting Person under the Seagate Technology's 2004 Stock Compensation Plan are subject to a four-year vesting schedule. After one year of continuous employment, one quarter of the option shares vest will vest on September 12, 2009. Following continuous employment, the remaining three quarters will vest proportionally monthly over the 36 months thereafter from September 12, 2009.

Reminder: Report on a separate line for each class of securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly.
