Western Digital8-K: Debt refinancing

Western Digital converts all preferred stock to common stock following strong share price performance.

What happened

The mandatory conversion, triggered by the common stock price exceeding 150% of the conversion price, simplifies WDC's capital structure and eliminates preferred dividend obligations. This signals strong financial health and may free up capital for strategic initiatives.
