SanDisk Annouces USB Designed in Partnership with Romero Britto

SINGAPORE, June 9, 2014 –SanDisk Corporation (NASDAQ: SNDK), a global leader in flash storage solutions, today announced its special edition Cruzer Pop™ USB flash drive, designed by Romero Britto, is now available in Singapore. This partnership with Britto is an example of SanDisk’s commitment to developing new designs for consumers.

“Entering into this partnership with SanDisk is very important to me and I am very happy with this USB release and with our collaboration, which I’m certain will be a great success,” said Britto. “I was interested in making a colorful product that truly reflected Brazilian culture, as was SanDisk. It was important to design a product that would be something consumers would like to look at, and would get inspiration from.”

“Working with an international artist whose ability to bring USB drives to life with his designs is a great way for SanDisk to recognize the soccer culture and give our customers fun and unique-looking products,” said Mark Eng, Country Manager, SanDisk Singapore and Malaysia.

Known for his colorful and cheerful works of art, Britto developed a unique design using soccer as an inspiration. It will be featured on the 8GB1 Cruzer Pop USB flash drive and available at POPULAR Bookstores, with a suggested retail price of SGD9.90. The drive also includes SanDisk SecureAccess™ Software, which provides secure file encryption and password protection for private files, while leaving the rest of the drive available for worry-free sharing2.

About Romero Britto

Romero Britto was born in Recife, Brazil in 1963. Self-taught at an early age, he painted on surfaces such as newspapers. In 1983, he traveled to Paris where he was introduced to the work of Matisse and Picasso. He combined influences from cubism with pop, to create a vibrant, iconic style that The New York Times describes, “exudes warmth, optimism and love.”

In 1988, Britto moved to Miami and emerged as an international artist. In the following year, he was selected alongside Andy Warhol and Keith Haring for Absolut Vodka’s “Absolut Art” campaign. Britto’s work has been exhibited in galleries and museums in over 100 countries, including the Carrousel du Louvre, in the Salon de la Société Nationale des Beaux-Arts in 2008 and 2010. He has also created public art installations for the O2 Dome (Berlin), Hyde Park (London), John F. Kennedy Airport (New York), and Cirque du Soleil at Super Bowl XLI.
