Explanation of responses

• F1Disposed of pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of October 21, 2015 (the "Merger Agreement," and the merger contemplated thereby, the "Merger"), by and among SanDisk Corporation (the "Issuer"), Western Digital Corporation ("Western Digital") and Schrader Acquisition Corporation ("Merger Sub").
• F2Includes 2,986 shares of Issuer common stock and 1,927 shares of Issuer common stock subject to restricted stock units ("RSUs"), the vesting of which was fully accelerated immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (the "Effective Time"). Each RSU represents a contingent right to acquire one share of Issuer common stock.
• F3Disposed of pursuant to the Merger Agreement, whereby at the Effective Time each share of Issuer common stock was cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive $67.50 in cash, without interest, and 0.2387 shares of Western Digital common stock (together, the "Merger Consideration"), with the fractional shares being paid in cash as provided in the Merger Agreement. The market value of the Merger Consideration is $76.18 per share, based on the trading price of Western Digital common stock as of end of trading on May 12, 2016.
• F4Disposed of pursuant to the Merger Agreement, whereby at the Effective Time each outstanding and vested Issuer RSU was cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, less any required withholdings applicable to such RSU (which withholdings were first deducted from the stock portion of the vested RSU consideration, if any, to reduce the number of shares delivered to the Reporting Person, and thereafter reduced the cash delivered to the Reporting Person).
• F5These shares of Issuer common stock are held by the Catherine Pierson Lego Trust UA DTD 05/09/07 of which the Reporting Person is trustee.
• F6This option was immediately exercisable for any or all of the option shares at the time of the award, which was seven years before the identified expiration date. However, any shares purchased under the option were subject to repurchase by the Issuer, at the exercise price paid per share, upon the Reporting Person's cessation of board service prior to vesting in those shares. This option vested, and the Issuer's repurchase right lapsed, upon the Reporting Person's continued service as a board member until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the one-year period measured from the award date or (ii) the day immediately preceding the date of the next annual meeting of the Issuer's stockholders.
• F7Disposed of pursuant to the Merger Agreement, whereby at the Effective Time each outstanding and vested Issuer stock option other than any vested Issuer stock option that had an exercise price equal to or greater than the Merger Consideration (each such stock option, an "Underwater Option"), was cancelled and automatically converted into the right to receive the Merger Consideration, less the exercise price and any required withholdings applicable to such stock option (which exercise price and withholdings were first deducted from the stock portion of the vested option consideration, if any, to reduce the number of shares delivered to the Reporting Person, and thereafter reduced the cash delivered to the Reporting Person).
• F8This option was immediately exercisable for any or all of the option shares at the time of the award, which was seven years before the identified expiration date. However, any shares purchased under the option were subject to repurchase by the Issuer, at the exercise price paid per share, upon the Reporting Person's cessation of board service prior to vesting in those shares. This option was originally scheduled to become vested, and the Issuer's repurchase right was originally scheduled to lapse, upon the Reporting Person's continued service as a board member until the earlier of (i) the expiration of the one-year period measured from the award date or (ii) the day immediately preceding the date of the next annual meeting of the Issuer's stockholders, but the vesting was fully accelerated immediately prior to the Merger.
• F9Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, each Underwater Option was assumed and converted into an option to purchase that number of shares of Western Digital common stock (rounded down to the nearest whole share) equal to the product of (i) the number of shares of Issuer common stock subject to such Issuer stock option and (ii) the quotient obtained by dividing (A) the volume weighted average trading price of Issuer common stock on Nasdaq for the five consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the Effective Time by (B) the volume weighted average trading price of Western Digital common stock on Nasdaq for the five consecutive trading days ending on the trading day immediately preceding the Effective Time (such quotient, the "Equity Conversion Ratio"), at an exercise price per share (rounded up to the nearest whole cent) equal to the quotient obtained by dividing (1) the exercise price applicable to such Issuer stock option immediately prior to the Effective Time by (2) the Equity Conversion Ratio.
