August 31, 2020 Dear Fellow Shareholder: You are cordially invited to attend the 2020 Annual General Meeting of Shareholders of Seagate Technology plc, which will be held at 5:00 p.m. Irish Standard Time on Thursday, October 22, 2020, at 10 Earlsfort Terrace, Dublin 2, D02 T380, Ireland. Due to public health concerns and continuing uncertainty in connection with COVID-19, this year we also are offering you the opportunity to virtually join the Annual General Meeting via live webcast over the Internet at 5:00 p.m. Irish Standard Time (12:00 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time). You may virtually join the Annual General Meeting and submit your questions during the meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/STX2020. In accordance with Irish law, we are required to have a principal meeting place, which is a physical location, where shareholders may attend the Annual General Meeting in person and vote. However, in light of public health concerns and travel recommendations and restrictions, we strongly advise shareholders not to attend in person at the principal meeting place, and ask that shareholders join the Annual General Meeting virtually instead. Shareholders joining virtually will not be able to vote at the meeting. Your vote is important. We encourage shareholders to cast their votes in advance of the Annual General Meeting, whether they plan to attend in person or join virtually. We continue to monitor COVID-19 developments and other circumstances. Should we determine that alternate Annual General Meeting arrangements may be advisable or required, such as changing the date, time or location of the Annual General Meeting, we will announce our decision by press release, post additional information at investors.seagate.com, and make a public filing with the U.S.
