TO BE HELD JUNE 19, 2014
General
This Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Directors (the
‘‘Board of Directors’’ or the ‘‘Board’’ and each member thereof, a ‘‘Director’’) of SanDisk Corporation, a
Delaware corporation (the ‘‘Company,’’ ‘‘SanDisk,’’ ‘‘we,’’ ‘‘us,’’ or ‘‘our’’), of proxies to be voted at the
Company’s 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the ‘‘Annual Meeting’’) to be held on June 19, 2014, or
at any adjournment or postponement thereof, for the purposes described herein. Stockholders of record at
the close of business on April 21, 2014 (the ‘‘Record Date’’) will be entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting.
The Annual Meeting will be held at 8:00 a.m., local time, on June 19, 2014, at the Company’s
headquarters, 951 SanDisk Drive, Milpitas, CA 95035.

Important Notice Regarding Internet Availability of Proxy Materials and Annual Report
Pursuant to the rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the ‘‘SEC’’), the Company is
furnishing its proxy materials and Annual Report on Form 10-K (the ‘‘Proxy Materials’’) primarily via the
Internet. Accordingly, the Company will send a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the
‘‘Notice’’) to its stockholders of record and beneficial owners on or about May 2, 2014. All stockholders
will have the ability to access the Proxy Materials on the website referred to in the Notice or to request a
printed set of the Proxy Materials. Instructions on how to access the Proxy Materials over the Internet or to
request a printed copy of the Proxy Materials may be found in the Notice. In addition, stockholders may
request to receive the Proxy Materials in printed form by mail, or electronically by e-mail, on an ongoing
basis.
Choosing to receive future Proxy Materials electronically saves the Company the cost of printing and
mailing documents to its stockholders, expedites receipt of the materials and conserves natural resources.
If a stockholder chooses to receive future Proxy Materials electronically, the stockholder will receive an
e-mail for each future proxy material distribution with instructions containing a link to those materials and
a link to the proxy voting site. Any stockholder’s election to receive the Proxy Materials electronically will
remain in effect until such stockholder terminates the request.
The Proxy Materials are also available at the Company’s website at www.sandisk.com/IR. In addition,
the Company will provide copies of any of the Proxy Materials free of charge to any stockholder who
requests copies by calling 1-800-579-1639 or by sending an e-mail with the 12-Digit Control Number found
on the Notice or proxy card in the subject line to [email protected].

On the Record Date, approximately 226,211,291 shares of the Company’s common stock (the
‘‘Common Stock’’) were outstanding and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting. The presence in person
or by proxy of a majority of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote will constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business at the Annual Meeting.
