Summary

This amendment primarily addresses a procedural error in the original filing concerning the Sarbanes-Oxley Act certifications.

Being designated as not an 'accelerated filer' typically means that the company does not meet certain thresholds for market capitalization and filing history that would categorize it as accelerated. Accelerated filers are generally required to file their annual and quarterly reports sooner after the period end compared to non-accelerated filers. This classification suggests Seagate was a smaller reporting company or did not meet the market capitalization requirements at that time.

The original quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended December 27, 2002, was filed with the SEC on February 10, 2003.
