LETTER FROM OUR CHAIR AND
LEAD INDEPENDENT DIRECTOR

Dear Fellow Stockholders:

We are pleased to invite you to attend the 2025 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, our first as a newly independent, publicly traded company. This meeting represents a defining moment in Sandisk’s history and a significant milestone in our reemergence as a standalone global leader in flash-based storage solutions.

In February 2025, Sandisk formally separated from Western Digital, completing a successful transition and reintroduction to the market. In this new era for Sandisk, we are laser-focused on creating value for customers and stockholders by leveraging our greatest strengths in innovation, scale, agility, and operational discipline. While our post-separation period in fiscal 2025 was brief, we are proud of the progress made in performance, leadership, and governance, which has laid a strong foundation for Sandisk’s long-term success.

Our Board Represents Institutional Insight and Strategic Renewal

We are guided by a highly experienced and strategically balanced Board of Directors. Our Board consists of a combination of former Western Digital board members who provide deep insight on Sandisk’s business, technology, talent, and long-term strategic goals, and new members who bring fresh perspectives to the boardroom. We are confident that our Board is well-positioned to steward Sandisk as a standalone company. We believe everything starts with innovation, and our business sits at the center of it. With a dedicated focus on advancing Sandisk’s core business, we see a tremendous opportunity to deliver meaningful value to both our customers and stockholders.

We will nominate seven directors at our inaugural annual meeting, all of whom have served since our separation from Western Digital. As part of the separation, we appointed to our Board two current Western Digital directors – Matthew Massengill and Kimberly Alexy – to provide leadership continuity through the transition. As we believe Sandisk is now in a strong position to drive long-term success and value creation for its stockholders, Mr. Massengill and Ms. Alexy will not be nominated for reelection at the annual meeting. Our director nominees include independent directors with expertise across critical domains, including semiconductors, enterprise systems, capital markets, and human capital. The skills of our director nominees are closely aligned with our business priorities and opportunities ahead and are essential skills for driving long-term value creation. We are excited for our Board to effectively guide and oversee Sandisk through its evolution as a standalone company.

Our Clear Strategy for Long-term Value Creation

Sandisk’s strategy is focused and purpose-built for the opportunities ahead. As a standalone company, we are reaffirming our leadership in the NAND and SSD markets while sharpening our operational and capital allocation decisions to deliver sustainable and profitable growth objectives. We are executing a long-term vision that reflects our core strengths. In doing so, we are positioning Sandisk to capture a significant market opportunity. Our growth is being driven by the exponential expansion of data, the rise of artificial intelligence in cloud and edge applications, and upcoming refresh cycles in personal computers and mobile devices. Our capital investment remains strong in data centers where we are seeing emerging AI-driven workloads expand the addressable market for enterprise SSDs, which we believe is unlocking further potential for Sandisk’s flash solutions.

In parallel, we have made structural changes to how we operate by, for example, tightening our focus on capital discipline and driving higher returns on invested capital. These are not just goals, they are embedded principles of how Sandisk creates long-term stockholder value.

Our successful first half-year as a standalone company exceeded expectations. We remain optimistic as we lead with innovation to meet demand, which we forecast to strengthen throughout the year. We continue to focus on maximizing return on invested capital through supply management, costs, and pricing strategies.

A Commitment to Good Governance and Our Stockholders

Governance has been a priority through the separation, and we have taken significant steps toward establishing the rigor and practices characteristic of a mature, best-in-class public company, and we will continue to evaluate our governance practices in this pursuit. Our Board prioritizes strong and independent oversight, and we maintain policies aligned with investor expectations, including a commitment to a robust stockholder engagement program. Transparency, accountability, and long-term alignment with stockholders are central to our governance philosophy.

On behalf of the full Board and executive team, thank you for the trust you have placed in Sandisk as we reintroduce ourselves as a standalone company. Our first fiscal year has been foundational, and the support and feedback of our investors has been essential. We look forward to continuing our journey together.

Sincerely,


			David V. Goeckeler Chair of the Board
			Matthew E. Massengill Lead Independent Director
