ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
Our company headquarters are located in Ireland, while our U.S. executive offices are located in Cupertino, California. Our principal
manufacturing facilities are located in China, Malaysia, Northern Ireland, Singapore, Thailand and 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 1, 2011 are as follows:
As of July 1, 2011, we owned or leased a total of approximately 11.9 million square feet of space worldwide. We occupied approximately
6.6 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 0.9 million square feet. Included in the 11.9 million square feet of owned or leased space is a total of
1.6 million square feet that is currently unoccupied, primarily as a result of site closures at our facilities in Longmont, Colorado; Ang Mo Kio
(AMK), Singapore; Milpitas, California; Scotts Valley, California; and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. 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 1, 2011, all of our material
manufacturing facilities are operating at normal utilization levels and none of our manufacturing facilities are experiencing significant
underutilization.
In August 2009, we announced that we will close our AMK facility in Singapore. Manufacturing operations at this facility have ceased as of
the third quarter of fiscal year 2011. Our hard drive manufacturing operations have been relocated to other existing facilities and our Asia
International Headquarters (IHQ) remains in Singapore. The closure did not meaningfully change production capacity.
