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

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

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

Forward-looking statements
14
Any statements in these materials about prospective performance and plans for the Company, the expected
timing of the completion of the proposed merger and the ability to complete the proposed merger, and other
statements containing the words “estimates,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “will,” and similar
expressions, other than historical facts, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the safe
harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Factors or risks that could cause our
actual results to differ materially from the results we anticipate include, but are not limited to: (1) the occurrence of
any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement; 
(2) the inability to complete the proposed merger due to the failure to obtain stockholder approval for the proposed
merger or the failure to satisfy other conditions to completion of the proposed merger, including that a
governmental entity may prohibit, delay or refuse to grant approval for the consummation of the transaction; 
(3) the failure to obtain the necessary financing arrangements set forth in the debt and equity commitment letters
delivered pursuant to the merger agreement; (4) risks related to disruption of management’s attention from the
Company’s ongoing business operations due to the transaction; and (5) the effect of the announcement of the
proposed merger on the Company’s relationships with its customers, operating results and business generally.
Actual results may differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements. In addition, the
forward-looking statements included in these materials represent our views as of the date hereof. We anticipate
that subsequent events and developments will cause our views to change. However, while we may elect to update
these forward-looking statements at some point in the future, we specifically disclaim any obligation to do so.
These forward-looking statements should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any date subsequent
to the date hereof. Additional factors that may cause results to differ materially from those described in the
forward-looking statements are set forth in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
