INTRODUCTORY STATEMENT

This Amendment No. 1 (“Amendment No. 1”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO originally filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission on March 27, 2009 by Quantum Corporation (“Quantum” or the “Company”), a Delaware corporation (as amended and supplemented, the “Schedule TO”), in connection with Quantum’s offer to purchase for cash, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase, dated March 27, 2009 (a copy of which was filed as exhibit (a)(1)(A) to the Schedule TO) (the “Offer to Purchase”) and the related Letter of Transmittal (a copy of which was filed as exhibit (a)(1)(B) to the Schedule TO), up to $142 million in aggregate principal amount of Quantum’s outstanding 4.375% Convertible Subordinated Notes Due 2010.

This Amendment No. 1 is being filed to reflect the amendment of the Commitment Letter from EMC International Company filed as exhibit (b)(1) to the Schedule TO. The amendment to the Commitment Letter changed the terms of the maturity date of the EMC Loan (as such term is defined in the Offer to Purchase), such that the EMC Loan will no longer mature if any amendment or restatement to our existing senior secured credit agreement increases the interest rate or yield on the loans thereunder by more than 2.00%. No other term or condition of the Commitment Letter was affected by the amendment.

Only those items amended are reported in this Amendment No. 1. Except as specifically provided herein, the information contained in the Schedule TO remains unchanged and this Amendment No. 1 does not modify any of the information previously reported on Schedule TO.

 

Item 7. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration

Item 7 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by incorporating by reference the information contained in exhibit (b)(2) attached hereto.

 

Item 11. Additional Information

Item 11 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

(a)     Agreements, Regulatory Requirements and Legal Proceedings.

 

  (1)   None.

 

  (2)   None.

 

  (3)   None.

 

  (4)   None.

 

  (5)   None.

(b)     Other Material Information.

The information contained in the Offer to Purchase is hereby incorporated by reference.

In order to reflect the amendment to the Commitment Letter, the fifth paragraph in the section titled “Source and Amount of Funds” on page 6 in the Offer to Purchase is amended and restated in its entirely as follows:

Upon satisfaction of the closing conditions under the Term Facility, the EMC Loan will be available to us in a single draw on the closing date. The EMC Loan will mature on the earlier of (i) September 30, 2014 and (ii) if we replace, refund or refinance our existing senior secured credit agreement (or enter into any amendment or restatement having the effect of any of the foregoing) or repay in full all amounts outstanding under our existing senior secured credit agreement, the later of one day after the date of any such occurrence or August 1, 2010; provided that if the EMC Loan matures because we repaid in full all amounts outstanding under our existing senior secured credit agreement, we will have the option to refinance the EMC Loan with senior secured loans or notes issued in exchange for the EMC Loan, on terms substantially the same as the EMC Loan, but with security, covenants and events of default substantially the same as those contained in our existing senior secured credit agreement. The EMC Loan will bear interest at 12% per annum, payable quarterly in arrears. At any time an event of default under the

 

2

Term Facility has occurred and is continuing, the EMC Loan will bear interest at 14% per annum. The obligations under the Term Facility, including the EMC Loans, will constitute our senior subordinated indebtedness.
