Trends in Dell’s PC business put the transformation at risk Dell remains largely a PC business Two thirds of Dell’s revenue is driven by PCs 1 Support and Deployment services, which are largely PC-driven, represent a majority of consolidated operating income Cash flow that has fueled Enterprise acquisitions is deteriorating PC business is in secular decline PC unit forecasts revised downward and sector valuations declining Dell does not have a meaningful tablet business and lacks a smartphone offering Transition to enterprise is risky, expensive and a multi-year process Dell has completed $13bn of acquisitions Product and sales force integration remains a work in progress Growth of Cloud represents a substantial threat Proposed transaction shifts all business risks to the buyer Source: BCG Note: PC business, or PCs, representative of EUC segment ¹ Includes desktop, mobility and third-party software and peripherals revenue in FY13 2

On June 28, 2013, Morgan Stanley lowered its 2013 PC unit forecast from -5% to -10% “…the lack of catalyst until C4Q will likely drive disappointing near-term results” “Our tablet unit growth rate of 55% in 2013 is unchanged from our prior estimate” 38% decrease in IDC '16E shipment forecasts since June 2012 Recent industry research forecasts continued PC deterioration 3 Source: IDC, Gartner, Morgan Stanley, Barclays 1 Represents 2012-15E CAGR 2 Based on preliminary IDC estimates 3 Based on IDC data PCs IDC estimates 2005-11A CAGR Historical: 9.7% 2012-16E CAGR 7.4% 8.4% 4.3% 1.7% Other sources: 2012-16E CAGR (~1.5%) PC market outlook continues to show a secular decline 250 300 350 400 450 500 550 '09 '10 '11 '12 '13 '14 '15 '16 Jun '12 Sep '12 Dec '12 Mar '13 Jun '13 2 1 Gartner (Jun '13):   0.5% Morgan Stanley (Jun '13): (5.3%) Barclays (Mar '13): (6.7%)

Returns for Dell’s acquisition program remain uncertain Significant future integration and investment still required 5 Over $13bn spent on acquisitions since FY08 to transform Dell into a solutions-oriented business Sales force integration benefits and cross-selling synergies taking longer to achieve A number of acquisitions have required additional investments to reposition for growth or new business opportunities Current returns are lagging the 15% IRR target by the Company due, in part, to required additional investments As the environment continues to evolve rapidly, additional investments and acquisitions are likely to be required to complete the transformation
