September 27, 2018

Dear Members of the Board:

P. Schoenfeld Asset Management LP is a registered investment adviser and, together with its affiliates (collectively, “PSAM”) advises clients who are shareholders in Dell Technologies Inc. (“Dell”) through their aggregate ownership of the publicly-traded DVMT shares totaling over $150 million. We have reviewed the public disclosures in connection with the proposed conversion of the DVMT Common Stock into publicly traded Class C Common Stock and cash and the elimination of the tracking stock (the “DVMT Transaction”) and have considered the rationale of the Board of Directors of Dell (the “Board”) in approving the DVMT Transaction. Based on our extensive and detailed analysis, we believe that the proposed DVMT Transaction in its current form is not in the best interests of the Dell public shareholders because it deeply undervalues the DVMT Common Stock.

We agree that the buy-in of the DVMT Common Stock is the best path to value creation for both Dell and DVMT holders. However, the current offer price of $109 per share of DVMT represents too wide a discount to the underlying value of VMware and does not deliver compensation to DVMT holders commensurate with their contribution to the newly formed Dell. PSAM firmly believes that Dell must increase the offered consideration by 20% to narrow the discount and value the DVMT stock more fairly. An improved equity ratio, additional cash, CVR structures and warrants are all alternatives which could be utilized to reduce or eliminate DVMT’s discount to the underlying VMware trading price. In the absence of such an increase, we intend to vote against the DVMT Transaction, and we believe that an overwhelming majority of the DVMT holders will do likewise.

A fair offer to DVMT holders must narrow or eliminate the excessive discount to VMware.

DVMT has always traded and continues to trade at a deep discount to the underlying VMware shares it tracks. Neither Dell’s proposed DVMT Transaction nor the historical trading discount reflect the legitimate contractual claims DVMT holders have to 50% of VMware’s economics. While Dell’s advisor told us in the Dell/EMC merger proxy that it expected DVMT to trade at a 0% to 10% discount to VMware, in fact DVMT has averaged a 32% discount to VMware from inception through January 25, 2018, the last trading day before Dell’s strategic review was reported in the news.

Applying Dell’s contractual 20% premium1 to the 32% discount would imply an offer price for DVMT stock of $129, 18% higher than the current offer.

As long as the tracking structure remains in place, investors will likely apply a discount to both the valuation of Dell’s stakes in public companies as well as to core Dell itself. PSAM believes equity investors will also likely apply a wide discount to the intrinsic value of any IPO of Dell Class C Common Stock if it was pursued without first consolidating DVMT holders and increasing Dell’s stake in VMware.

The current offer undervalues value creation to Dell from DVMT

The DVMT Common Stock tracks ~50% of the economics of VMware, the largest value driver of Dell’s pro forma valuation. The intrinsic value of the DVMT tracking interest in VMware at current market prices is approximately $33 billion. The contribution of DVMT’s interest in VMW in turn represents more than half of our estimate of the pro forma equity value for Dell following the completion of the proposed exchange offer. We estimate that the 21% interest in pro forma Dell plus the cash consideration (assuming the full cash election under the proposed exchange offer) is worth approximately $22 billion. Therefore, PSAM believes that Dell’s proposed offer undervalues the intrinsic value of DVMT contribution to the pro forma company by at least $11 billion.

If Dell pursues an IPO of its Class C Common Stock without first buying in the DVMT holders, Dell’s Class C Common Stock would trade at an even larger discount than what is currently implied by the DVMT trading price.

While we are aware that you claim to be “reexamining” a Dell IPO, the inescapable conclusion is that such an IPO would cause massively more dilution to the current Dell private shareholders and increased consideration to the DVMT shareholders in the inevitable buy-in. An IPO discount is appropriate due to the overhang from the anticipated future dilution as a result of a later redemption of DVMT shares, the cumbersome tracker structure and the high leverage at core Dell. PSAM’s estimated Class C Common Stock valuation at an IPO absent prior redemption of the DVMT Common Stock is at ~$58.00 per share, which is much lower than the $79.77 per share valuation for Class C Common Stock that Dell is using under the terms of the current DVMT Transaction.

Consolidation with VMware is needed to close the value gap.

In order for Dell to achieve an attractive valuation in the public markets for its Class C Common Stock, Dell must demonstrate to investors strong financial metrics on a consolidated basis with VMware. The best way to accomplish this is by buying in the DVMT holders and eliminating their claim on VMware’s cash flow and economics. Redeeming the DVMT stock increases the earnings and cash flow contribution to Dell from VMware’s high growth business. By buying in the DVMT Common Stock, Dell will increase its effective direct ownership in VMware from ~32% currently to ~81 % and will simplify Dell’s current ownership structure. As a high growth software company, VMware receives a much higher multiple of earnings and free cash flow than core Dell. Increasing Dell’s share of VMware economics will likely increase the blended earnings multiple that Dell will receive.

___________________________

1 20% contractual premium assumes the buyout of DVMT occurs within the first year of Class C Common Stock going public.

 
 

 

DVMT redemption would reduce leverage and improve valuation in the public markets.

Investor confidence in Dell’s ability to achieve an optimal debt structure is essential to an adequate valuation in the public markets. A transaction to collapse DVMT would reduce the leverage at Dell and would accelerate Dell’s path to a 3.0x net debt/EBITDA leverage ratio, even with the payout of an $11 billion dividend at VMware. Rating agencies and equity investors consider 3.0x net debt/EBITDA a level that is consistent with investment grade metrics.

Dell must provide improved terms to DVMT holders to secure their support and reap the benefits from a DVMT repurchase.

We firmly believe that collapsing the tracker structure and buying in the DVMT Common Stock is essential for the future of Dell. Acquiring the DVMT Common Stock provides Dell with a clear path to an optimal capital structure with investment grade credit ratings, which in turn would ensure an appropriate valuation for Dell in the public equity markets.

To secure the support of DVMT holders and reap the benefits from buying in the DVMT stock, Dell must offer fair value to DVMT holders. PSAM proposes a 20% increase in consideration to DVMT holders in the form of an improved exchange ratio for Class C Common Stock, additional cash and/or a potential CVR and/or warrants that protect DVMT holders from execution risk at Dell. This 20% improvement would result in DVMT holders owning 27% of pro forma Dell. This is higher than the 21% under the current proposed DVMT Transaction but lower than what we estimate would be 31% in an IPO of Dell’s Class C Common Stock followed by a DVMT redemption. The adjusted terms still represent consideration with a discount to the full intrinsic value of the DVMT share class.

As you know, you have a fiduciary duty to act in the best interests of all Dell shareholders, and we believe that the DVMT Transaction you have proposed had certain defects as to process, in addition to price, favors the interests of the current private Dell shareholders and is grossly unfair to the DVMT holders. Accordingly, we believe that your fiduciary duties require that you improve the DVMT Transaction terms in order to treat the DVMT holders fairly, and we urge you to implement changes such as those we have suggested, in the interest of all parties. We have attached an extensive financial analysis which supports in detail all of the views we have expressed in this letter, and we would appreciate the opportunity to present that analysis to the full Board or to its selected representatives as soon as possible. We look forward to hearing from you promptly.

Very truly yours,

P. SCHOENFELD ASSET MANAGEMENT LP

Executive Summary • The buy in of DVMT is the best path to value creation for both Dell and DVMT shareholders and Dell has made the right decision to seek the approval from DVMT holders in the form of a shareholder vote • However, the current targeted offer price of $109 per share of DVMT represents too wide of a discount to the underlying value of VMware and does not deliver compensation to DVMT holders commensurate with their contribution to the newly formed Dell • DVMT has averaged a 32% discount to VMware from inception through 1/25/18, the last trading day before Dell’s strategic review was reported in the news. Applying Dell’s contractual 20% premium (1) to DVMT’s trading price at a 32% discount to VMware would imply an offer price for DVMT of $129, 18% higher than the current targeted offer • DVMT tracks ~50% of the economics of VMware, and has an intrinsic value of $33 billion based on current market prices. We estimate that Dell’s current offer to DVMT of 21% ownership in pro forma Dell plus $9 billion in cash, assuming full cash election, is only valuing DVMT at approximately $22 billion. Dell’s proposed offer is undervaluing DVMT by approximately $11 billion. Our assumptions are supported by both a sum of the parts and an earnings multiple based valuation (see pages 19 and 20) • In reality, holders are being offered far less than $109 as the cash portion of the offer only represents ~41% of the total consideration. The majority of the consideration is in the form of Dell Class C equity with low voting rights that requires DVMT holders to buy into a lofty valuation of Dell that e ven VMware and its advisor had misgivings about (2) • PSAM believes at least a 20% improvement to the consideration would narrow the discount to 17% or lower and would be fair to both sides; Dell’s Class A, B and C shares would incur much greater dilution if they pursued an IPO without first buying in DVMT - 3 - Note: Calculation of trading discount based on closing prices and adjusts for Dell share purchases of DVMT.

See page 6 for further detail (2) “…Lazard indicated that the VMware special committee had a different view on certain assumptions underlying the valuation analysis …including lower projected financial metrics for Dell Technologies ( excluding VMware) for fiscal year 2020 [and] a lower multiple range to…calculate the enterprise value of Dell Technologies (excluding VMware )…” Source: Dell Amendment 1 to S - 4 filed on 9/5/18

 
 

• Collapsing the tracker structure and buying in the DVMT class is essential for the future of Dell Technologies – Buying in the DVMT share class provides Dell with a clear path to an optimal capital structure with investment grade credit ratings – A clear path to an improved credit profile, strong execution and the elimination of the current cumbersome tracker structure is likely to ensure an appropriate valuation for Dell in the public equity markets • A n IPO of Class C without a negotiated outcome for DVMT is not a viable path – An IPO of Class C does not address the terms of the DVMT buy in and defers it to a later date – As such, it is NOT in the best interest of Dell. It would actually leave DVMT holders owning a larger stake in the restructured entity than under the current proposed deal – The most efficient way to buy in DVMT holders is in the form of a renegotiated transaction that is fair to both sides – An improved equity ratio, additional cash, CVR structures and warrants are all alternatives which could be utilized to reduce or eliminate DVMT’s discount to the underlying VMware price - 4 - Executive Summary The current proposed transaction is NOT in the best interest of DVMT shareholders and PSAM intends to vote against

 
 

• Dell is proposing to buy in DVMT in a combination of cash and shares of Dell Class C stock at a targeted offer price of $109 – Cash consideration of $109 per share based on shareholder election and not to exceed $9 billion – Stock portion based on Dell Class C value of $79.77 per share and an exchange ratio of 1.3665 shares of Class C for each share of DVMT – Assuming maximum cash election, 41.4% of consideration in the form of cash and 58.6% in the form of stock – Subject to shareholder vote • DVMT is a publicly traded stock that tracks ~50% of the economics of VMware – Dell currently owns ~32% of VMware directly and ~19% of VMware is owned by public shareholders • By buying in DVMT, Dell will increase its effective direct ownership in VMware from ~32% currently to ~81% and will simplify its current ownership structure - 5 - Note: % ownerships cited do not add to 100% due to rounding (1) Includes Class A, B and C.

• If DVMT holders vote down the current transaction Dell may pursue an IPO of Class C as an alternative • Once Class C trades publicly, Dell has the option to buy in DVMT at any point at an exchange ratio of DVMT to Class C that will be calculated by dividing the average market value of a share of DVMT by the average market value of a share of Class C during the ten trading day period preceding the date that Dell’s Board authorizes the conversion • Once Dell chooses to convert DVMT holders into Class C, Dell is contractually obligated to pay a premium for DVMT that varies depending on time elapsed since the Class C IPO – 20% premium if buy in of DVMT occurs within one year after the IPO of Class C – 15% premium if buy in of DVMT occurs between one and two years following the IPO of Class C – 10% premium if buy in of DVMT occurs thereafter • Dell is hoping that DVMT holders accept an unfair deal rather than face the uncertainty of a future conversion price based on the methodology described above - 6 - Situation Overview PSAM strongly believes that the path to maximize value for both Dell and DVMT holders can only come in the form of a deal that is equitable to both sides and intends to vote against the proposed transaction

 
 

Historical DVMT Trading Discount to VMware • According to the 2016 proxy for the Dell/EMC merger, EMC’s advisor expected DVMT would trade at a 0% - 10% discount to VMware based on its analysis of comparable tracker stocks • DVMT has never traded at a discount of less than 28% and currently trades at a wide discount to VMware of 39% despite a formal offer of a deal to collapse the structure • A 20% premium (1) to DVMT’s average discount of 32% in the period preceding Dell’s strategic review would imply an offer price of $129 and a discount of 18% to the underlying value of VMware based on current market prices (2) • Neither Dell’s proposed transaction nor the historical trading discount reflect the legitimate contractual claims to the 50% of VMware economics that DVMT holders have. DVMT holders are entitled to proportionate share of proceeds in the event of a sale of VMware as well as a proportionate claim on VMware’s cash in the event of a dividend - 7 - Note: Calculation of trading discount based on closing prices and adjusts for Dell share purchases of DVMT. Each share of DVMT currently estima ted to track ~1.013 shares of VMW (1) 20% contractual premium a ssumes buy out of DVMT occurs within first year of Class C going public (2) As of 9/26/18 25.0% 30.0% 35.0% 40.0% 45.0% 50.0% Offer to DVMT Holders Must Narrow the Excessive Discount to VMware

 
 

• Investor confidence in Dell’s ability to achieve an optimal debt structure is essential to an adequate valuation in the public markets – Dell’s publicly traded peers have very low leverage or a net cash position – Dell needs to achieve investment grade credit ratios – if not formal ratings upgrades – to prove it can allocate free cash flow to growth rather than debt repayment – Dell’s bonds trade at a discount to those of its investment grade rated peers • PSAM believes equity investors will also apply a wide discount to the intrinsic value of an IPO of Dell Class C shares if it was pursued without first consolidating DVMT holders and increasing Dell’s stake in VMware • While rating agencies currently give Dell credit for 81% (1) of VMware’s EBITDA and vary in their treatment of VMware’s net cash, we believe equity investors will debate how much credit to ascribe to VMware if the DVMT shares remain outstanding – With VMware excluded, leverage at core Dell of 5.6x net debt/EBITDA is extremely high (2) compared to most technology companies – Dell’s access to VMware’s cash will likely remain limited • As long as the DVMT tracker remains outstanding, if Dell moves cash from VMware to the Dell parent, Dell must compensate DVMT holders for their proportionate share of VMware’s cash flows (3) . Thus, Dell’s direct access to VMware’s cash flow is limited to its ~32% direct ownership – Class A, B and C equity holders would have to share their claim with DVMT holders in a liquidation scenario of Dell Technologies - 8 - (1) Recent reports cite 82% but PSAM has updated to 81% as per latest disclosure in S - 4 proxy (2) Dell excludes $9.2 billion of Dell Financial Services (DFS) and Other debt, but PSAM includes it, consistent with rating agency m eth odology (3) While Dell is not obligated to remit cash to DVMT holders, Dell must remit a note or security of equivalent value Buying in DVMT Provides Dell With A Clear Path to an Optimal Capital Structure

 
 

• In order for Dell to achieve an attractive valuation in the public markets Dell needs to demonstrate to investors that its financial metrics should be viewed on a consolidated basis with VMware. The best way to accomplish this is by buying in the DVMT holders and eliminating their claim on VMware’s cash flow and economics • A transaction to collapse DVMT would reduce the leverage at Dell and would accelerate Dell’s path to a 3.0x net debt/EBITDA leverage ratio, even with the payout of an $11 billion dividend at VMware. Rating agencies and equity investors consider 3.0x net debt/EBITDA a level that is consistent with investment grade metrics - 9 - Note: While rating agencies differ in their treatment of VMware’s cash and debt, we assign proportionate value to Dell for VM war e’s net debt/cash position based on Dell’s direct VMware ownership in each case (1) Pro forma for $11 billion VMware cash dividend.

• Following the collapse of DVMT, we estimate Dell may have the ability to reduce the consolidated net debt/EBITDA ratio to 3.0x by the end of 2020 and can achieve further deleveraging thereafter • The deleveraging effect will occur more rapidly following the buy in of DVMT since Dell will have nearly full access to VMware’s cash flows and investors are likely to view Dell on a fully consolidated basis • Equity investors will likely NOT view Dell and VMware on a consolidated basis and will likely NOT assume a rapid deleveraging profile for Dell if it pursues an IPO without first buying in the DVMT holders • PSAM estimates Dell repays $10 billion of debt through FY21 though Dell may also find opportunities to deploy capital towards other value creating transactions such as share repurchases and acquisitions – Dell repays ~$1.5 billion in debt in the 2nd half of FY19, $5 billion in FY20 and $3 billion per year thereafter – PSAM does not make assumption for interest savings from a potential refinancing of Dell debt upon achievement of investment g rad e – VMware executes $1.1 billion of share repurchases per year beginning in FY2020 - 10 - ( 1 ) Shown pro forma for $11 billion VMware cash dividend.

• The buy in of DVMT increases the earnings and cash flow contribution to Dell from high growth software. It would shift the valuation discussion from a sum of the parts approach to an earnings and free cash flow multiple growth story – The collapse of the DVMT tracker will increase Dell’s consolidated share of VMware’s earnings and free cash flow from ~32% currently to ~81% – After collapsing the tracking stock structure, we estimate VMware’s contribution to Dell Technologies’ net income will nearly double to approximately 40% from approximately 20% under the current structure (1) – As a high growth software company, VMware receives a much higher multiple of earnings and free cash flow than core Dell. Increasing Dell’s share of VMware economics is likely to increase the blended earnings multiple that Dell will receive • As long as the tracking structure remains in place investors will likely apply a discount to both the valuation of Dell’s stakes in public companies as well as to core Dell itself • All shareholders would benefit if Dell uses free cash flow reinvestment and a transparent structure to become a growth equity • With a pro forma earnings and free cash flow growth outlook of approximately 10 % for the next three to five years, Dell can position itself as a premier opportunity for investors to participate in the emerging IT reinvestment cycle - 11 - (1) PSAM excludes VMware minority public interest of ~19% from its calculation of net income and does not add back stock base d c ompensation in its calculation of Dell Technologies net income, but rather treats it as an expense Buying in DVMT Essential to Receiving Appropriate Public Markets Valuation

 
 

• The current trading value of DVMT suggests that investors value Class C at very low levels if the proposed transaction is completed • If the transaction is completed the implied value of Class C based on the trading price of DVMT is approximately $ 64.00 , a large discount to Dell’s internal valuation of $ 79.77 • The current trading discount to VMware of 39% is already wider than the historic average, which suggests little to no downside for DVMT if the transaction is terminated - 12 - Note: Current trading price based on closing price as of 9/26/18.

• Investors using a sum of the parts approach to value Class C will likely assign a discounted valuation that may result in a trading price even lower than $60.00 for Class C if it pursues an IPO without negotiating a DVMT transaction – EV/EBITDA multiples of 6.5x – 7.5x a discount to average multiples of peers HPE, HPQ and IBM – 20% NAV discount to publicly traded securities reflects Dell’s complicated ownership structure - 13 - Note: Market values shown based on closing prices as of 9/26/18 and fully diluted share count calculation using treasury stoc k m e (1) EBITDA estimate adds back $150 million of estimated expenses associated with Pivotal and SecureWorks (2) Dell excludes $9.2 billion of Dell Financial Services (DFS) and Other debt, but PSAM includes it, consistent with rating agency methodology (3) VMware market value calculated using fully diluted share count, which includes 17.4 million shares of restricted stock (4) Dell ownership of 50% excludes Dell ownership of Pivotal through VMware (5) PSAM assumes 22 million shares from stock options in fully diluted share count, as shown in Dell S - 4 proxy for period ended 5/4/ 18 using treasury stock method $ in US millions unless otherwise stated, FY ended January Illustrative Sum of the Parts Valuation Pro Forma Dell Valuation Dell Hardware VMware Pivotal (4) SecureWorks Low High 2020E EBITDA (1) 7,162 7,162 Market Value (3) 66,576 5,805 1,215 Multiple 6.5x 7.5x % NAV Discount 20% 20% 20% Enterprise Value 46,554 53,716 Discounted Market Value 53,261 4,644 972 Less: Net Debt (2) (39,109) (39,109) Dell Ownership % 32% 50% 86% Value to Class C 7,445 14,607 Value to Class C 16,803 2,341 836 Total Class C Valuation Low High Total Value to Class C 27,424 34,586 FD Shares (m) (5) 591 591 Per Share $46.43 $58.55 Class C Will Not Have A Successful IPO Without A DVMT Transaction

 
 

• Class C could trade at an even larger discount if Dell pursues an IPO without a DVMT transaction than what is currently being implied by the DVMT trading price – An IPO discount is appropriate due to overhang from future dilution from the buy in of DVMT, cumbersome tracker structure and high leverage at core Dell. Class C may also be subject to heavy short pressure from DVMT holders looking to hedge their exposure • PSAM’s estimated Class C valuation at IPO of ~$58.00 is much lower than the $79.77 valuation for Class C that Dell is using under the terms of the current transaction • PSAM’s estimate is supported by the by a sum of the parts analysis on the previous page - 14 - Class C Valuation at IPO Class C Valuation Implied by DVMT Trading Price (see pg 12) $64.29 $64.29 $64.29 Additional IPO Discount 15% 10% 5% Class C IPO Price $54.65 $57.86 $61.08 DVMT Holders Will Be Better Off Without This Deal

• DVMT holders stand to benefit even more from the potential “re - rating ” of Dell Technologies in an IPO of Class C followed by a contractual conversion than under the currently proposed deal since they would own a higher percentage of core Dell • We estimate the valuation of Class C could “re - rate” to approximately $60 billion following the buy in of DVMT and assuming strong execution • At the range of pro forma share counts shown on the prior page of 777 million to 916 million, that equates to a range of prices for Class C of ~$68.00 to ~$81.00 and $72.88 at the base case assumption of 859 million shares • Applying the range of exchange ratios from the bottom table on page 16 (1.675x - 2.462x) to the range of Class C prices results in values to DVMT holders of ~ $ 135 - $ 168, or $155 at the base case exchange ratio of 2.129x • DVMT holders end up much better off than under the current offer of $109 and close the wide gap with the underlying value of VMware that exists under the current deal - 18 - (1) PSAM net income calculation does not add back stock based compensation, but rather treats it as an expense (2) PSAM assumes 22 million shares from stock options, as shown in Dell S - 4 proxy for period ended 5/4/18 using treasury stock metho d $ in US millions unless otherwise stated, FY ended January Value of Class C and DVMT Pro Forma For DVMT Buy In Post Class C IPO Dell 2020E Net Income (1) 2,824 VMware 2020E Net Income (1) 2,030 Less: VMware Minority Interest (384) Combined Net Income to Dell 4,470 Earnings Multiple 14.0x Dell Equity Valuation 62,584 Base Case Pro Forma Share Count (2) (m) (see page 17) 859 Class C Per Share $72.88 Base Case Pro Forma DVMT/Class C Exchange Ratio 2.129x Value to DVMT Per Share $155.13 DVMT Holders Will Be Better Off Without This Deal

• PSAM proposes at least a 20% improvement in consideration to DVMT holders – DVMT/Class C exchange ratio of 1.6398 vs. proposed ratio of 1.3665 – Cash consideration of $ 130.80 per share vs. proposed cash consideration of $ 109.00. We assume total cash consideration of $9 billion remains in place • Improved terms result in DVMT holders owning 27% of pro forma Dell. This is higher than the 21% under the current proposed transaction but lower than the 31% in an IPO of Dell followed by a DVMT buy in (refer to page 17) • Both Dell and DVMT shareholders stand to benefit from the potential rerating of Class C shares due to value creation from the buy in of DVMT and simplification of Dell’s ownership structure - 21 - (1) PSAM assumes 22 million shares from stock options, as shown in Dell S - 4 proxy for period ended 5/4/18 using treasury stock metho d (2) Discount calculated using VMware closing price as of 9/26/18.

Conclusion • PSAM will vote AGAINST the proposed transaction unless the terms are modified • If Dell moves forward with an IPO of Class C without first negotiating the buy in of DVMT holders, Class C shares will likely trade well below Dell’s $79.77 internal valuation and are more likely to trade below $60.00 – DVMT holders will likely ultimately end up owning more shares of Dell when they are converted than under the current proposed transaction • PSAM proposes a at least a 20% increase in consideration to DVMT holders as well as a potential CVR and/or warrants that can help narrow the wide discount to VMware that exists under Dell’s current offer • DVMT holders have owned a security that has traded at a much wider discount to VMware over the past two years than what was contemplated at the time of the EMC deal. During much of this time period, Dell’s execution has been worse than expected and has only improved recently. Meanwhile, the potential contribution value from DVMT’s share of VMware economics has increased • T he buy in of DVMT is the right path to maximizing value and a DVMT shareholder vote is the correct methodology. However, the terms of the DVMT buyout must be fair to DVMT holders so that all shareholders can equitably benefit from the transaction - 22 -

• In addition to an improvement in deal terms, a Contingent Value Right (“CVR”) may be used to help preserve value for DVMT holders in the event of poor execution at Dell and may be structured as follows: – CVR to be a publicly traded security – Twelve month duration – CVR to be distributed to DVMT holders electing stock and pro rata to DVMT holders receiving cash and stock consideration – At expiration, Dell to issue shares or cash to CVR holders as follows: • Consideration equivalent to $ 16.40 per share of DVMT ($10.00 per share of Class C at 1.6398 ratio) if Class C is trading below $79.77 • Consideration equivalent to $ 32.80 per share of DVMT ($20.00 per share of Class C at 1.6398 ratio) if Class C is trading below $79.77 and has underperformed an agreed upon group of publicly traded peers by at least 10% • CVR expires worthless and Dell under no obligation if Class C is trading at $79.77 or above for a period of at least 30 days • Warrants may also be considered as an alternative or in conjunction with a CVR • Benefits to DVMT holders: – Protects DVMT holders who receive stock from downside due to Dell execution risk • Dell’s track record since acquisition of EMC is mixed. Initial integration faced challenges and only recent quarters have sh own progress. Duration of CVR allows Dell to establish an execution track record – DVMT holders still participate in upside to Dell shares - 24 - CVR And/Or Warrants May Be Used to Bridge The Gap
