Item 5. Other Events and Regulation FD Disclosure.

     On December 30, 2003, an action was filed by Matsushita Kotobuki Electronics Industries, Ltd. (“MKE”) against Quantum Corporation (“Quantum”) and Maxtor Corporation (“Maxtor”) alleging, among other things, MKE’s ownership of certain intellectual property acquired by Maxtor in Maxtor’s acquisition of the Quantum Hard Disk Drive business from Quantum. The action was filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California. The results of any litigation are inherently uncertain. Although Maxtor cannot currently estimate whether there will be a loss, or the size of any loss, a litigation outcome unfavorable to Maxtor could have a material adverse effect on Maxtor’s business, financial condition and operating results. Management believes that the lawsuit is without merit, that it has valid defenses to the claims of MKE, and plans to defend the matter vigorously.
