Definitive Additional Materials

The Special Committee of the Board of Directors of Dell Inc. mailed the following letter to the Company’s shareholders today

We are writing to you in advance of the September 12, 2013 Special Meeting of Shareholders to ask you to vote “FOR” the go-private transaction to secure the amended total consideration of $13.88 in cash for each share you own, including a purchase price of $13.75 per share and a special dividend of $0.13 per share. This most recent increase on August 2, 2013 delivers an additional $350 million in value to Dell’s public stockholders.

As an independent Special Committee of the Board of Directors committed to achieving the best outcome for all Dell shareholders, we believe this transaction provides compelling value and certainty following a rigorous and exhaustive process that elicited eight increases in price.

We believe that $13.88 per share in cash provides a substantial and certain premium and is the best outcome for all Dell shareholders.

To be sure your vote is counted “FOR” the transaction, we urge you to act now and vote the enclosed WHITE card, even if you have previously done so. If you have previously voted “no” it’s not too late. You can change your vote now by following the instructions on the enclosed WHITE card today. Only your latest dated vote will be counted.
