We believe that our operations are currently in substantial compliance with all environmental laws, regulations and permits. We incur
operating and capital costs on an ongoing basis to comply with environmental laws. If additional or more stringent requirements are imposed
on us in the future, we could incur additional operating costs and capital expenditures.
Some environmental laws, such as the U.S. federal superfund law and similar state statutes, can impose liability for the cost of cleanup of
contaminated sites upon any of the current or former site owners or operators or upon parties who sent waste to these sites, regardless of
whether the owner or operator owned the site at the time of the release of hazardous substances or the lawfulness of the original disposal
activity. We have been identified as a potentially responsible party at several superfund sites. At each of these sites, the government has
assigned to us a portion of the financial liability based on the type and amount of hazardous substances disposed of by each party at the site and
the number of financially viable parties.
Some of our current and former sites have a history of commercial and industrial operations, including the use of hazardous substances.
Groundwater and soil contamination resulting from historical operations has been identified at several of our current and former facilities and
we are addressing the cleanup of these sites in cooperation with the relevant government agencies.
While our ultimate costs in connection with these sites is difficult to predict with complete accuracy, based on our current estimates of
cleanup costs and our expected allocation of these costs, we do not expect costs in connection with these superfund sites and contaminated sites
to be material.
Executive Officers and Directors
We list below our executive officers and members of our board of directors and their ages and positions.
Mr. Watkins, Mr. Pope, Mr. Hudson, Mr. Coulter, Mr. Davidson, Mr. Hutchins and Mr. Marquardt hold the same position at New SAC,
except that Mr. Luczo serves as Chief Executive Officer of New SAC. Mr. Pope serves as the Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of
Certance Holdings (formerly Seagate Removable Storage Solutions Holdings). Mr. Hudson serves as General Counsel and Corporate Secretary
of Certance Holdings. We expect that our directors and those of our officers who also serve as officers of our affiliates will continue to devote a
portion of their time and energy to the affairs of those companies.
