Explanation of Responses:

1. The price per share paid for the Class A Common Stock sold in the reported transaction was calculated in the manner reported in the Form 4 filed by the Reporting Persons on September 13, 2017.

2. The 435,682 shares of Class A Common Stock of VMware, Inc. (the "Issuer") sold in the reported transaction, which closed on November 3, 2017, were held directly by EMC Equity Assets LLC, a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of EMC Corporation ("EMC"). Of the 30,678,605 shares of Class A Common Stock reported in Column 5 of Table I, (a) EMC is the record holder of 10,149,359 shares, (b) VMW Holdco LLC, a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of EMC, is the record holder of 20,000,000 shares, and (c) EMC Equity Assets LLC is the record holder of 529,246 shares.

3. EMC is directly wholly-owned by Dell Inc., which in turn is indirectly wholly-owned by Dell Technologies Inc. ("Dell Technologies") through its directly held wholly-owned subsidiary Denali Intermediate Inc. Dell Technologies is owned by investors including Silver Lake Partners III, L.P. ("SLP III"), Silver Lake Technology Investors III, L.P. ("SLTI III"), Silver Lake Partners IV, L.P. ("SLP IV"), Silver Lake Technology Investors IV, L.P. ("SLTI IV") and SLP Denali Co-Invest, L.P. ("SLP Denali," and together with SLP III, SLTI III, SLP IV and SLTI IV, the "Silver Lake Funds").

4. Silver Lake Group, L.L.C. ("SLG") is the managing member of (i) SLTA III (GP), L.L.C. ("SLTA III GP"), which is the general partner of Silver Lake Technology Associates III, L.P. ("SLTA III"), which is the general partner of SLP III and SLTI III and the managing member of SLP Denali Co-Invest GP, L.L.C. ("SLP Denali GP"), which is the general partner of SLP Denali and (ii) SLTA IV (GP), L.L.C. ("SLTA IV GP"), which is the general partner of Silver Lake Technology Associates IV, L.P. ("SLTA IV", and collectively with the Silver Lake Funds, SLP Denali GP, SLTA III, SLTA III GP, SLTA IV GP and SLG, the "Silver Lake Investors"), which is the general partner of SLP IV and SLTI IV. Egon Durban, who serves as a director of the Issuer, also serves as a Managing Director of SLG.

5. The Silver Lake Funds have the right, under an agreement with Dell Technologies and other Dell Technologies stockholders, to approve the sale by Dell Technologies or specified subsidiaries of Dell Technologies of any shares of common stock of the Issuer held by them. As a result of the relationships and contractual provisions described above and in footnotes (2), (3) and (4) above, each of the Reporting Persons may be deemed to beneficially own securities of the Issuer held by VMW Holdco LLC, EMC Equity Assets LLC and EMC.

6. This filing shall not be deemed an admission that the Silver Lake Investors engaged in any transaction subject to Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act or, for purposes of Section 16 of the Exchange Act or otherwise, that the Reporting Persons are the beneficial owners of any equity securities in excess of their respective pecuniary interests, and each Reporting Person disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities reported herein, except to the extent of such Reporting Person's pecuniary interest therein, if any.

Remarks:

The Reporting Persons are jointly filing this Form 4 pursuant to Rule 16a-3(j) under the Exchange Act. Because no more than 10 reporting persons can file any one Form 4 through the Securities and Exchange Commission's EDGAR system, SLP Denali and SLP Denali GP have filed a separate Form 4, which reports the transaction reported herein. Michael S. Dell, Dell Technologies and EMC are also separately filing a Form 4 reporting the transaction reported herein.
