# Sandisk

One company becomes two.

Sandisk completed its separation from Western Digital and began trading independently on Nasdaq on February 24, 2025.

- **The choice:** Whether to hold an investment, within the choices available.

- **The circumstances:** A corporate separation changes what is traded.

- **A different position:** A corporate event alone cannot tell us a particular investor's return.

## What this does not tell us

The separation is documented. It does not establish an employee windfall or an individual investment return; those depend on ownership, prices and timing.
