SANDISK CORP. SHAREHOLDER ALERT: Former SEC Attorney Willie Briscoe and Powers Taylor LLP Believe the Acquisition by Western Digital May be Unfair to Shareholders

Former United States Securities and Exchange Commission attorney Willie Briscoe and the securities litigation firm of Powers Taylor LLP are investigating potential claims against the Board of Directors of SanDisk Corp. (“SanDisk”) (NasdaqGS: SNDK) concerning the acquisition by Western Digital. Under the terms of the agreement, valued at approximately $19 billion, SanDisk shareholders will only receive $67.50 in cash and 0.2387 shares of Western Digital common stock per SanDisk stock held if the previously announced investment in Western Digital by Unisplendour Corporation Limited has not occurred prior to the acquisition. However, if the Unisplendour transaction closes prior to this acquisition, SanDisk shareholders will only receive $85.10 in cash and 0.0176 shares of Western Digital common stock for each SanDisk stock held. The consideration is significantly lower than at least one analyst’s estimated value of $90.00.

If you are an affected investor, and you want to learn more about the investigation or if you have information that you believe would be helpful to our investigation of the fairness of the proposed transaction, contact Willie Briscoe at The Briscoe Law Firm, PLLC via email at shareholders@thebriscoelawfirm.com, Patrick Powers at Powers Taylor LLP via e-mail at shareholder@powerstaylor.com or by calling toll free at (877) 728-9607. There is no cost or fee to you.

The investigation centers on whether SanDisk’s Board of Directors is acting in the shareholders’ best interests, whether the board considered alternatives to the acquisition, and whether the board has employed an adequate process to review and act on the proposed transaction. Notably, at least one analyst with Yahoo! Finance believes the true inherent value of SanDisk could be as high as $90.00 per share.
