Seagate drives are designed to be compliant with the European Union RoHS "Recast" Directive 2011/65/EU (RoHS 2) as amended by
Directive (EU) 2015/863. The RoHS2 restricts the use of certain hazardous substances such as Lead, Cadmium, Mercury, Hexavalent
Chromium, Polybrominated Biphenyls (PBB) and Polybrominated Diphenyl Ether (PBDE), BisBis(2-Ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP),
Benzyl butyl phthalate (BBP), Dibutyl phthalate (DBP), and Diisobutyl phthalate (DIBP) in electrical and electronic equipment (EEE).
2.12.1.2 Substances of Very High Concern (SVHC)

external suppliers. We rely on the representations of our suppliers regarding the presence of REACH substances in these articles and
materials. Our supplier contracts require compliance with our chemical substance restrictions, and our suppliers document their
compliance with our requirements by providing full-disclosure material content declarations that disclose inclusion of any REACH-
regulated substance in such articles or materials. Product-specific REACH declarations are available upon request through your
Seagate Sales Representative.
