ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
On July 3, 2010, our company headquarters were relocated to Ireland, while our U.S. executive offices remained in Scotts Valley,
California. Our principal manufacturing facilities are located in China, Malaysia, Northern Ireland, Singapore, Thailand and in Minnesota. Our
principal product development facilities are located in California, Colorado, Minnesota, Massachusetts and Singapore. Our leased facilities are
occupied under leases that expire at various times through 2022.
Our material manufacturing, product development and marketing and administrative facilities at July 2, 2010 are as follows:
As of July 2, 2010, we owned or leased a total of approximately 11.9 million square feet of space worldwide. We occupied approximately
7.0 million square feet for the purpose of manufacturing, 1.3 million square feet for product development, 1.5 million square feet for marketing
and administrative purposes and subleased 0.8 million. Included in the 11.9 million square feet of owned or leased space is a total of 1.3 million
square feet that is currently unoccupied primarily as a result of site closures at our facilities in Longmont, Milpitas and Pittsburgh. We believe
that our existing properties are in good operating condition and are suitable and adequate for the operations for which they are used. As of July 2,
2010, all of our material manufacturing facilities are operating at normal utilization levels and none of our manufacturing facilities are
experiencing significant underutilization.
On August 4, 2009, we announced that we will close our Ang Mo Kio (AMK) facility in Singapore during fiscal year 2011. Our hard drive
manufacturing operations will be relocated to other existing facilities and our Asia International Headquarters (IHQ) will remain in Singapore.
We do not expect the closure to meaningfully change production capacity.
