Terms of the Transaction

• A definitive merger agreement has been reached under which Michael Dell, Dell’s Founder, Chairman and CEO, in partnership with global technology investment firm Silver Lake, will acquire Dell. Under the terms of the agreement, Dell stockholders will receive $13.65 in cash for each share of Dell common stock they hold in a transaction valued at approximately $24.4 billion.

• The all-cash offer of $13.65 per share represents a premium of 25% over Dell’s closing share price of $10.88 on January 11th, 2013; the last trading day before rumors of a possible going-private transaction were first published; a premium of approximately 35% over Dell’s enterprise value as of January 11th 2013; and a premium of approximately 37% over the average closing share price during the previous 90 calendar days ending January 11^th, 2013.

• The Board of Directors of Dell acting on the recommendation of a special committee of independent directors unanimously approved a merger agreement under which Michael Dell and Silver Lake Partners will acquire Dell and take the company private subject to a number of conditions, including a vote of the unaffiliated stockholders. Mr. Dell recused himself from all Board discussions and from the Board vote regarding the transaction.

• Following completion of the transaction, Mr. Dell will continue to lead the Company as Chairman and CEO and will be the majority owner.

• The transaction will be financed through a combination of cash funded by affiliated investment funds of Silver Lake, the rollover of Mr. Dell’s shares of Dell as well as a further cash investment by him, a cash commitment from an investment fund affiliated with MSDC Management, L.P., a $2 billion loan by Microsoft, rollover of existing debt, as well as debt financing that has been committed by BofA Merrill Lynch, Barclays, Credit Suisse, Royal Bank of Canada, and cash on hand. There is no financing condition.

• The transaction is expected to close before the end of the second quarter of Dell’s FY2014, subject to approval by a majority of the outstanding Dell shares, excluding shares owned by Mr. Dell or other members of Dell’s management or Board of Directors, as well as the satisfaction of customary closing conditions.

• Dell will continue to be headquartered in Round Rock, Texas.

• For further information regarding all terms and conditions contained in the definitive merger agreement, please see Dell’s Current Report on Form 8-K, which will be filed in connection with this transaction.

Strategic Rationale

• The independent directors of the board have concluded that the proposed all-cash transaction offers an attractive and immediate premium for stockholders.

• The prospective buyers believe a strong and competitive portfolio of end-to-end solutions is a key asset and one that our customers value.

• We fully believe that we can and will achieve our transformation into a leading global, end-to-end solutions provider, but we are best served pursuing this route as a private company.

• We expect that the proposed private structure will allow us to pursue our transformation and growth:

• Mr. Dell will be the majority owner and will remain CEO.

• New debt required for the transaction does not result in a restrictively leveraged capital structure.

• The cost of servicing the debt in the proposed structure over the next three years is projected to be approximately the same or slightly less than Dell’s dividend and share repurchase costs over the past three years.

• The proposed transaction allows us to continue organic and inorganic investment to pursue our growth and transformation.

• Our End User Computing business continues to be an important element of our strategy. Despite recent contraction in the global PC demand environment with Dell declining 12% in the first three quarters of FY13, we see solid opportunities ahead. End User Computing growth and profitability is critical to our financial and cash flow models, and we will continue to invest in this important business.

• Dell has deep relationships with millions of customers worldwide, an outstanding and talented team, a business model that delivers strong cash flow, and a globally-recognized brand.

Process

Special Committee’s Oversight through Signing

• The Special Committee and its advisors conducted a disciplined and independent process intended to ensure the best outcome for shareholders. When Mr. Dell approached Dell’s Board with his interest in taking the company private, the Board formed a Special Committee of four independent directors with full authority to consider Mr. Dell’s proposal and to determine whether it was in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to enter into discussions with him.

• After engaging independent financial and legal advisors J.P. Morgan and Debevoise & Plimpton LLP, the Special Committee, led by Lead Director Alex Mandl and including independent directors Laura Conigliaro, Ken Duberstein and Janet Clark, authorized Mr. Dell to begin

discussions with potential financial partners to secure an appropriate offer. At all times, Mr. Dell was required to consider in good faith partnering with any potential buyer that was considering making an offer to acquire the company.

• The Special Committee also engaged a leading management consulting firm to conduct an independent analysis, including strategic alternatives for Dell and opportunities for the company as a public entity, and Evercore Partners was engaged as an additional financial advisor.

• The Special Committee conducted an extensive review of strategic alternatives, before it recommended, and the Board approved, the $13.65 per share proposal from Michael in partnership with Sliver Lake. The terms of the transaction were negotiated by the Special Committee. Mr. Dell recused himself from all Board discussions and from the Board vote regarding the transaction.

Special Committee to Oversee a 45-Day “Go Shop” Process

• As a further protection for stockholders, the Special Committee has negotiated as part of the merger agreement a 45-day “go-shop” period, during which the Special Committee—with the assistance of Evercore Partners—will actively solicit, receive, evaluate and potentially enter into negotiations with parties that offer alternative proposals. After the conclusion of that 45-day period, the Special Committee will be permitted to continue discussions and enter into or recommend a transaction with any person or group that submitted a qualifying proposal during the 45-day period.

• There can be no assurance that this go-shop process will result in a superior offer. Dell and the Special Committee currently do not intend to disclose developments with respect to the solicitation process unless and until the Special Committee and the Board have made a decision to terminate or modify the agreement with Mr. Dell and Silver Lake.

• Any bidder who makes a qualifying proposal during the initial go-shop period would be obligated to pay a $180 million (less than 1 percent) termination fee. A competing bidder who did not qualify during the initial go-shop period would be obligated to pay a termination fee of $450 million.

• Evercore will conduct the go-shop process on behalf of the Special Committee.

• There can be no assurance that this go-shop process will result in a superior offer. Dell and the Special Committee currently do not intend to disclose developments with respect to the solicitation process unless and until the Special Committee and the Board have made a decision to terminate or modify the agreement with Mr. Dell and Silver Lake.

Special Vote Requirement

• In addition to the requirement that the holders of a majority of the Company’s outstanding shares vote in favor of the transaction, which will be sought at a special stockholder meeting, the merger agreement further provides that the transaction must be approved by the holders

of a majority of the Company’s outstanding shares, excluding shares held by Mr. Dell and certain members of Dell’s management and Board of Directors.

Valuation

• The price of $13.65 per share in cash represents:

• a premium of approximately 25 percent over Dell’s closing share price of $10.88 on Jan. 11th, 2013; the last trading day before rumors of a possible going-private transaction were first published;

• a premium of approximately 35 percent over Dell’s enterprise value as of January 11th, 2013, and,

• a premium of approximately 37 percent over the average closing share price during the previous 90 calendar days ending January 11th, 2013.

Mr. Dell Messages

• Dell has made solid progress executing this strategy over the past four years and we recognize it will take more time, investment and patience to fully implement.

• Under a new, private company structure, we will have the time and flexibility to fully pursue and realize our end-to-end solutions strategy and pursue organic and inorganic investment, without the scrutiny associated with a publicly traded stock, quarterly targets, and other limitations of operating as a public company.

• Dell is a relatively young company and I’m a (relatively) young CEO. I am eager to continue to serve as chairman and CEO, and excited to work with our existing senior leadership team. There is much more we can accomplish together and I am committed to this journey and our long-term strategy.
