Introduction

This Amendment No. 5 to Rule 13E-3 Transaction Statement on Schedule 13E-3, together with the exhibits thereto (the “Transaction Statement”) is being filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) pursuant to Section 13(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (together with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, the “Exchange Act”), jointly by the following persons (each, a “Filing Person,” and collectively, the “Filing Persons”): (i) Dell Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”) and the issuer of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) that is subject to the Rule 13e-3 transaction, (ii) Denali Holding Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), (iii) Denali Intermediate Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Intermediate”), (iv) Denali Acquiror Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Intermediate (“Merger Sub” and, together with Parent and Intermediate, the “Parent Parties”), (v) Silver Lake Partners III, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, (vi) Silver Lake Technology Associates III, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, (vii) SLTA III (GP), L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company, (viii) Silver Lake Group, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company, (ix) Silver Lake Partners IV, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, (x) Silver Lake Technology Associates IV, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, (xi) SLTA IV (GP), L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company, (xii) Silver Lake Technology Investors III, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, (xiii) Mr. Michael S. Dell, an individual and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, (xiv) Susan Lieberman Dell Separate Property Trust (and, together with Mr. Dell, the “MD Investors”), (xv) MSDC Management, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and (xvi) MSDC Management (GP), LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.

On February 5, 2013, the Company, Parent, Intermediate and Merger Sub entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as it may be amended from time to time, the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Intermediate. Concurrently with the filing of this Transaction Statement, the Company is filing with the SEC an amended proxy statement (the “Proxy Statement”) under Regulation 14A of the Exchange Act, relating to a special meeting of the stockholders of the Company at which the holders of the Common Stock will be asked to consider and vote on a proposal to adopt the Merger Agreement. The adoption of the Merger Agreement by the affirmative vote of the holders of (i) at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote thereon and (ii) at least a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock entitled to vote thereon held by stockholders other than the Parent Parties, Michael S. Dell and certain of his related family trusts, any other officers and directors of the Company and any other person having any equity interest in, or any right to acquire any equity interest in, Merger Sub or any person of which Merger Sub is a direct or indirect subsidiary are conditions to the consummation of the Merger. A copy of the Proxy Statement is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(1) and a copy of the Merger Agreement is attached as Annex A to the Proxy Statement.

Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each share of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger (other than certain excluded shares and shares held by any of the Company’s stockholders who are entitled to and properly exercise appraisal rights under Delaware law) will be converted into the right to receive $13.65 in cash, without interest (the “Merger Consideration”), less any applicable withholding taxes, whereupon all such shares will be automatically canceled upon the conversion thereof and will cease to exist, and the holders of such shares will cease to have any rights with respect thereto other than the right to receive the Merger Consideration. Shares of Common Stock held by any of the Parent Parties (including the shares held by Michael S. Dell and certain of his related family trusts, which shares will be contributed to Parent prior to the Merger) and by the Company or any wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company will not be entitled to receive the Merger Consideration.

Except as otherwise agreed to in writing prior to the effective time of the Merger by Parent and a holder of an option to purchase shares of Common Stock (each, a “Company Stock Option”), each Company Stock Option granted under the Company’s stock plans other than the Dell Inc. Amended and Restated 2002 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2002 Plan”) and the Dell Inc. 2012 Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “2012 Plan”), whether vested or unvested and whether with an exercise price per share that is greater or less than or equal to $13.65, that is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, will be canceled and converted into the right


to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option and (ii) the excess, if any, of $13.65 over the exercise price per share of Common Stock subject to such Company Stock Option, less such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under applicable tax provisions. Parent has indicated to the Company that it intends to request, pursuant to the Merger Agreement, that the Company, before the completion of the Merger, commence a tender offer (the “option tender offer”) to purchase for cash, at prices to be determined by Parent, each tendered Company Stock Option granted under the 2002 Plan and the 2012 Plan, whether vested or unvested and whether with an exercise price per share that is greater or less than or equal to $13.65, that is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of the option tender offer, which conditions would include the consummation of the merger, each such Company Stock Option that is validly tendered and not withdrawn by the holder thereof would be canceled in exchange for the applicable cash payment promptly after the completion of the Merger. Also in accordance with the Merger Agreement, Company Stock Options granted under the 2002 Plan and the 2012 Plan that are outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger and not accepted for cancellation and payment in the option tender offer would be converted at the effective time of the Merger into options to purchase, on substantially the same terms and conditions (including vesting conditions) applicable to such Company Stock Option immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, shares of Parent common stock. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Merger Agreement, Mr. Dell would not participate in the option tender offer and his Company Stock Options will be canceled for no consideration in connection with the Merger.

Except as otherwise agreed to in writing prior to the effective time of the merger by Parent and a holder of an award of restricted stock units with respect to shares of Common Stock (each a “Company RSU Award”) with respect to any of such holder’s Company RSU Awards, each Company RSU Award, whether vested or unvested, that is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, will be canceled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such Company RSU Award multiplied by (ii) $13.65, less such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under applicable tax provisions, subject to the recipient remaining in service until the vesting date applicable with respect to such awards. For purposes of unvested Company RSU Awards, any performance-based vesting condition will be treated as having been attained at the “target” level, and awards that are subject to performance-based vesting conditions will be deemed to vest ratably on the last day of each fiscal year during the portion of the performance period applicable to such awards that occurs following the effective time of the merger. In addition, holders of Company RSU Awards will receive any additional amounts related to dividend equivalents credited with respect to such Company RSU Awards prior to the effective time. Notwithstanding the provisions of the Merger Agreement, Mr. Dell’s unvested performance-based Company RSU Awards will be canceled and converted into a right to receive a cash amount as described above; however such cash amount will vest and pay out upon the Company RSU Awards’ original vesting and payout dates.

Except as otherwise agreed to in writing prior to the effective time of the merger by Parent and a holder of any restricted shares of Common Stock (each a “Company Restricted Share”) with respect to any of such holder’s Company Restricted Shares, each Company Restricted Share that is outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of the Merger, will be canceled and converted into the right to receive an amount in cash equal to $13.65 less such amounts as are required to be withheld or deducted under applicable tax provisions. In addition, each holder of Company Restricted Shares will remain entitled to receive any additional amounts related to dividends payable on such Company Restricted Shares prior to the effective time but which remain subject to the vesting of the Company Restricted Shares. Payment in respect of Company Restricted Shares (including associated amounts related to dividends) will be made on such date(s) as the Company Restricted Shares would have otherwise vested, but only if the holder of such Company Restricted Shares remains continuously employed with the surviving corporation through such vesting dates.

As of May 16, 2013, Mr. Dell and certain of his related family trusts beneficially owned, in the aggregate, 274,434,319 shares of Common Stock (including (i) 1,101,948 shares subject to Company stock options exercisable within 60 days and (ii) 33,186 shares held in Mr. Dell’s 401(k) plan), or approximately 15.6% of the total number of outstanding shares of Common Stock, and have agreed with Parent to contribute to Parent, immediately prior to the consummation of the merger, 273,299,383 shares in exchange for common stock of Parent.

Overview

Confidential

The Special Committee has asked Evercore whether, in our opinion, the Merger Consideration is fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock entitled to receive such Merger Consideration

This presentation contains a summary of certain analyses that, among other things, Evercore has performed in connection with rendering our opinion:

- Trading Multiple Analysis

- Present Value of Future Stock Price Analysis

- Leveraged Buy-out Analysis

- Share Buyback Analysis

- Premiums Paid Analysis

Evercore has also performed certain supplemental analyses including:

- Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

- Analyst Price Target Analysis

- Historical Trading Range Analysis

The following presentation and financial analyses included herein are based on the following financial projections:

- The Boston Consulting Group, Inc.’s (“BCG”) projections prepared at the direction of the Special Committee (the “BCG Case”)

- In addition, Evercore has reviewed certain productivity gains identified by Management and has analyzed a case that reflects 25% to 75% of such productivity cost take-outs as incremental benefits to the BCG Case (the “Productivity Case”)

Since BCG Case projections were only available through EBIT, Evercore applied certain working capital and cash flow assumptions from the 9/21 Case to the BCG Case to arrive at net income and free cash flow for the BCG and Productivity Cases. Denali Management agrees that the drivers of the key working capital elements are consistent with the drivers that were used in the 9/21 Case

- Denali Management’s projections from September 21, 2012 (the “9/21 Case”), adjusted with updated information as provided by Denali Management

- Currently available projections of 10 Wall Street research analysts through FY15E which were extrapolated to FY18E by keeping revenue growth and margins constant (“Street Median”)

Within the set of Wall Street analyst projections, the lowest projections came from Citigroup Inc. as of 11/16/12 (“Street Low”), while the highest projections were from Bank of America Corporation as of 11/15/12 (“Street High”)

We have applied certain working capital and cash flow assumptions from the 9/21 Case to the Wall Street projections to arrive at net income and free cash flow for the Street Median Case. Denali Management agrees that the drivers of the key working capital elements are consistent with the drivers that were used in the 9/21 Case

Financing

Certain Conditions to Closing

Founder Voting Obligations

Description

Salamander to acquire the common stock of Denali (“Denali” or the “Company”) for $13.65 in cash per share of common stock

Salamander has entered into an agreement with certain holders of shares of common stock who would contribute their shares to Salamander in exchange for equity interest in Salamander (“Holders of Rollover Shares”)

Salamander forms two new Delaware corporations: Merger Sub and Intermediate (both wholly owned subsidiaries of Salamander)

Merger Sub merges into Denali with Denali surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Intermediate

Denali shareholders (other than treasury shares, shares held by Salamander (including rollover shares) and dissenting shares) receive cash consideration in exchange for their shares of Denali common stock

Salamander has provided Denali with copies of the executed Equity Financing Commitments, Rollover Commitment Agreement, and Debt Financing Commitment, collectively, the “Financing”, which provides Salamander with sufficient cash proceeds to pay the Merger Consideration, satisfy and retire any repaid debt, and pay any fees and expenses due by Salamander

Salamander is not permitted to reduce the total amount of Financing prior to the Closing Date

Affirmative vote in favor of the transaction from a majority of the stockholders who have not agreed to rollover their shares

Absence of a “Company Material Adverse Effect”, defined as any fact, circumstance, change, event, occurrence or effect that has a material adverse effect on the financial condition, business, properties, assets or results of operations of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole

Denali to use reasonable best efforts to liquidate its marketable securities and, prior to closing, transfer an amount of available cash to Denali (in a tax and cost efficient manner) of no less than $7.4 billion

Certain stockholders (including MSD) have agreed, among other things, to:

Vote, unless the Denali board has made a change in recommendation, in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement and related actions and against any action that would reasonably be expected to contravene or adversely affect the merger, the merger agreement or the transactions contemplated therein;

Vote, in the event that the merger agreement is terminated in connection with Denali accepting a superior proposal, in favor of such superior proposal in the same proportion as the unaffiliated shares are voted in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement and if recommended by Denali board action, in such proportion on any matter regarding the superior proposal;

Vote, in the event of a Denali board change in recommendation, in favor of adoption of the merger agreement in the same proportion as the unaffiliated shares are voted in favor of the adoption of the merger agreement; and

Explore in good faith the possibility of working with persons regarding an acquisition proposal and inform the Company promptly of any acquisition proposals.

Note: Summary based on draft Agreement and Plan of Merger dated [02/03/13]. All capitalized terms within this document not expressly defined have the meaning as set forth in the Merger Agreement

Summary of Certain Proposed Terms (cont’d)

Confidential

Go-Shop

Superior Proposal

Termination Fees

Description

45-day go-shop period

Salamander has a single match right with 4 business days right to match an acquisition proposal

“Superior Proposal” means a merger of Denali or acquisition of 50% or more of the assets, consolidated revenues or income or voting stock of Denali (not including an extraordinary dividend or share repurchase) in which the Denali board has determined in its good faith judgment (after consultation with outside legal counsel and its financial advisor) is more favorable to Denali stockholders than the proposed merger

Denali will pay a termination fee of $[180] million if the agreement is terminated (i) by Denali to enter into an alternative agreement with respect to a superior proposal with a “go-shop” party or (ii) by Salamander if Denali board changes its recommendation in response to an alternative acquisition proposal made by a “go-shop party

Denali will pay a termination fee of $[450] million under certain circumstances including if the agreement is terminated:

- by Denali, to enter into an alternative agreement (not with a go-shop party) with respect to a superior proposal;

- by Salamander, if Denali board changes its recommendation not in response to an alternative acquisition proposal made by a

“go-shop” party;

- by (x) Salamander, if Denali materially breaches its reps/warranties/covenants resulting in a failure of its closing condition, (y) either party if the merger doesn’t occur by the outside date and Salamander would have been entitled to terminate per the prior clause (x), or (z) either party as a result of the failure to obtain stockholder approvals at the meeting and, in each case, an acquisition proposal was made [prior to termination]

Salamander to pay a cash shortfall fee of $250 million if the agreement is terminated by Salamander if (i) the rollover contributions fail to qualify as a Section 351 exchange or there has occurred a legal impediment or charge related to the cash transfer or (ii) the amount of cash on hand is less than $7.4 billion solely as a result of a legal impediment or charge

Salamander to pay a reverse termination fee of $750 million if the agreement is terminated by (i) Denali, if Salamander materially breaches its reps/warranties/covenants resulting in a failure of its closing condition (i.e., failure to close given inability to obtain debt financing) or if Salamander fails to close upon satisfaction of closing conditions or (ii) either party if the merger doesn’t occur by the outside date and Denali would have been entitled to terminate because Salamander failed to close upon satisfaction of closing conditions (i.e., failure to close given inability to obtain debt financing)

Denali to pay expense reimbursement of up to $15 million if either party terminates as a result of failure to obtain stockholder approvals at the meeting

Overview

The Special Committee has asked Evercore whether, in our opinion, the Merger Consideration is fair, from a financial point of view, to the holders of shares of Company Common Stock entitled to receive such Merger Consideration

? This presentation contains a summary of certain analyses that, among other things, Evercore has performed in connection with rendering our opinion:

– Trading Multiple Analysis

– Present Value of Future Stock Price Analysis

– Leveraged Buy-out Analysis

– Share Buyback Analysis

– Premiums Paid Analysis

? Evercore has also performed certain supplemental analyses including:

– Discounted Cash Flow Analysis

– Analyst Price Target Analysis

– Historical Trading Range Analysis

? The following presentation and financial analyses included herein are based on the following financial projections:

– The Boston Consulting Group, Inc.’s (“BCG”) projections prepared at the direction of the Special Committee (the “BCG Case”)

– In addition, Evercore has reviewed certain productivity gains identified by Management and has analyzed a case that reflects 25% to 75% of such

productivity cost take-outs as incremental benefits to the BCG Case (the “Productivity Case”)

• Since BCG Case projections were only available through EBIT, Evercore applied certain working capital and cash flow assumptions from the

9/21 Case to the BCG Case to arrive at net income and free cash flow for the BCG and Productivity Cases. Denali Management agrees that the

drivers of the key working capital elements are consistent with the drivers that were used in the 9/21 Case

– Denali Management’s projections from September 21, 2012 (the “9/21 Case”), adjusted with updated information as provided by Denali Management

– Currently available projections of 10 Wall Street research analysts through FY15E which were extrapolated to FY18E by keeping revenue growth and

margins constant (“Street Median”)

• Within the set of Wall Street analyst projections, the lowest projections came from Citigroup Inc. as of 11/16/12 (“Street Low”), while the

highest projections were from Bank of America Corporation as of 11/15/12 (“Street High”)

• We have applied certain working capital and cash flow assumptions from the 9/21 Case to the Wall Street projections to arrive at net income and

free cash flow for the Street Median Case. Denali Management agrees that the drivers of the key working capital elements are consistent with the

drivers that were used in the 9/21 Case

Note: All capitalized terms within this document not expressly defined have the meaning as set forth in the Merger Agreement

Overview Confidential

The following presentation and financial analyses included herein are based on the following financial projections:

– Denali Management’s Projections from September 21, 2012 (the “9/21 Case”)

– BCG projections (the “BCG Case”)

– In addition, Evercore has reviewed certain productivity gains identified by Management and has analyzed a case that reflects 50% of such productivity cost take-outs as incremental benefits to the BCG Case (the “Productivity Case”)

In evaluating the current proposal from Silver Lake (the “Proposal”), Evercore has performed the following analyses:

– Comparison of financial projections: 9/21 Case, BCG Case, Productivity Case, Wall Street consensus estimates

– Historical trading ranges

– Analyst price target estimates

– Peer group trading multiples

– Present value of future share price analysis

– Discounted cash flow analysis

– Leveraged buy-out analysis

– Premiums paid analysis

In addition, Evercore has evaluated the potential alternative transactions for a stand-alone Denali including a structural separation of the businesses and a large, one-time share repurchase analysis

III. Perspectives on Denali’s Valuation

EVERCORE PARTNERS


LOGO

 

Key Valuation Considerations Confidential

Status Quo Value Considerations

Medium / long-term PC industry growth and margin structure, and Denali’s position / share in the industry

Denali’s ability to reverse historical inability to penetrate the growing Smartphone & Tablet markets

Denali’s ability to leverage its $13+ billion in recent acquisitions to create a compelling enterprise stack relative to IBM, EMC, Oracle, Cisco, HP, etc.

Denali’s ability to seamlessly transition its sales organization from PC-focused to Enterprise-focused while simultaneously growing the business

Will historical attach rates (sales of other products with hardware) continue at the same rates with the projected shift in business mix toward Enterprise?

How much cost savings can Management achieve and how long will it take to realize those savings?

To what extent are productivity gains needed/required in order to maintain the current margins as opposed to contributing to expanding margins?

What is the appropriate trade-off between cost savings and configuration flexibility, and how will customers react to these changes?

What are the impacts of shifting from a build-to-order model towards a build-to-stock model?

Will Denali transition from a valuation multiple in line with a “broken” HP to a more representative blended multiple? If so, when?

Value of cash on balance sheet given significant offshore cash

Strategic Alternatives to a Sale

Does a structural separation (spin-off, split-off, sale) of the Client or the Enterprise-related businesses create enhanced shareholder value, after factoring in separation dis-synergies, execution risk and loss of scale?

Can a large share buyback funded through the repatriation of foreign cash create enhanced shareholder value and still preserve flexibility to prosecute Denali’s M&A agenda in Enterprise?

Perspectives on Potential Strategic Acquirers

Confidential

Enterprise Oriented Acquirers

Acquirers Market Cap. CY 13E P/E Cash Leverage (1) Commentary

hp $31,918 4.9x $11,301 2.0x

Given current turmoil at HP, its management and balance sheet capacity to take on a transformational acquisition is limited

Absent turmoil, potentially best acquirer for Denali

ORACLE 165,038 12.0x 33,695 1.1x

Unlikely to be interested in the Client side of the business

However, Oracle should have significant interest in the enterprise business and is willing to make bold and unconventional moves (e.g. Sun)

EMC2 53,833 12.8x 10,580 0.3x

Unlikely to be interested in the Client side of the business

May partner with a Sponsor for the Enterprise business

CISCO 111,398 10.4x 45,000 1.1x

Systematically exiting consumer facing business (Pure, Linksys, etc.)

May partner with a Sponsor for the Enterprise business

IBM 219,715 12.0x 17,260 1.3x

Exited PC business to Lenovo, highly unlikely to be interested in hardware oriented businesses

Client Oriented Acquirers

Acquirers Market Cap. CY 13E P/E Cash Leverage (1) Commentary

lenovo $10,243 15.2x $3,944 0.4x

Has history of transformational acquisitions (e.g. IBM PC business)

With the help of sponsors, could afford a competing proposal

CFIUS concerns might complicate interest given Denali’s government footprint

SAMSUNG 214,099 7.7x 42,321 0.3x

Limited history with M&A. Highly organically oriented

Limited synergies in Enterprise solutions

ASUS 8,710 10.8x 3,014 0.2x

Will be a stretch financially

CFIUS concerns might complicate interest given Denali’s government footprint

NOKIA 16,814 NM 13,399 7.7x

In the middle of a very challenging turnaround

TOSHIBA 16,651 10.7x 8,880 2.9x

May be more interested in exiting PC business than doubling down

FUJITSU 8,063 13.4x 4,752 1.7x

May be more interested in exiting PC business than doubling down

Maximizing the Impact of a Go-Shop Period

Confidential

Duration of Go-Shop Period

A longer go-shop period increases the amount of time that potential third parties have to evaluate a possible transaction

– The complexity of a transaction and the current industry and market conditions can potentially impact the duration of a go-shop

Termination Fee During Go-Shop Period

A lower termination fee in effect during the go-shop period reduces the value leakage to shareholders

– A superior proposal needs to overcome the implied termination fee per share in addition to providing incremental value to shareholders

– If a transaction is not consummated, shareholders bear the cost of the termination fee

Definition of a Superior Proposal

Broader definition of what constitutes a superior proposal gives more latitude to the Special Committee

Matching rights, unless limited, serve to discourage bidders and should be avoided

Advanced Preparation

Maximize the effectiveness of the go-shop period through exhaustive advanced planning

– Targeted list of parties to contact, including the potential for bidding groups including sponsors and strategics

– NDA and other legal documentation ready for distribution on day 1

– Fully-populated and extensive virtual data room

– Availability of management team for due diligence

Role of Management

Carefully consider how to incentivize management to support the transaction that maximizes shareholder value

Preliminary Analysis For Discussion Purposes Only Strictly Private and Confidential

Buyside and trading perspectives

Selected investor and trading perspectives

Heavy arb / event-driven account buying, particularly early in the week

Some investors would welcome the potential liquidity event and could sell on announcement of a deal vs. taking risk of waiting for an LBO to close

Arb community thought leaders believe the deal would have a 4-month close with a likely 10% annualized spread from offer price

News of Sponsor B dropping out of the process weakened stock momentum

By Wednesday, buyers exercised more price sensitivity, stepping away from buying at $12.75

ADTV was 116mm shares this week¹, up 425% from 90-day average of 22mm shares

Investor feedback – top equity shareholders

Investor A

Outlook on business and industry is uncertain

Intense competition from Lenovo and other Asia-based vendors focused on aggressive market share gain at the expense of margins

Potential transformation of the PC landscape

Transaction is highly unlikely, given potential dilution in the founding shareholder’s equity ownership over time and loss of management control

Investor B

Large premium is unlikely, given that the transaction at $13 / share (or $22bn) would be the largest go-private since 2007

Rumor is that Microsoft could potentially invest $2bn to help finance the transaction

Heightened concern around the recent departure of several executives in the last 6 weeks

Denali’s bond prices fell to the lowest level ever

$400mm 2021 bond declined 13% to $94.2 since Monday (prior to LBO report)

2013 outlook

2012 market ended with record tight spreads and issuance

The leveraged finance markets have opened up 2013 with a strong tone and new issuance volume is likely to remain elevated

Volatility expected to return for political and economic reasons

Leveraged buyouts are being successfully financed, with the largest transaction in 2012 by an Apollo-led consortium acquiring EP Energy, a subsidiary of El Paso, for $7.2bn

Proposed Denali financing is significantly larger than any post-crisis transaction, but should be executable in current market environment

Preliminary Analysis For Discussion Purposes Only Strictly Private and Confidential

Summary conclusions of Bain review – provided for financing purposes

Denali transformation and key enablers

Since 2009, Denali has undertaken a transformation to become an enterprise solutions provider for the mid-market design point

Denali has improved its operating performance but has recently experienced some decline

Continued execution on $3.3bn productivity program underway to create two distinct business models

GTM transformation requires substantial investment and acceleration

Continue improvement to achieve leadership in customer advocacy and brand, particularly in mid-market

Strategic assessment by segment

EUC

PC market expected to grow at 0-2% with significant headroom in emerging markets at lower price bands

New business model has reduced complexity, improved profitability and strengthened competitive position in EUC

Denali gained profit pool share from 2009-2012 by executing key elements of transformation strategy

However, recently lost market share due to exposure to developed markets and strength of Apple and Lenovo

Opportunity to regain share by improving participation in lower price bands and expanding into tablets / connected solutions

S&P

S&P is a revenue and margin enhancing adjacency where Denali is differentiated

Focus on maximizing attach and aligning S&P / Support strategy to key Denali strategic priorities

ESG

Has acquired complete IP stack with strength in servers, but has much room to grow in other segments

New enterprise business model requires increased investment in sales, marketing and

R&D

Svcs

Services business has been built through acquisitions, but Support generates ~[***]% of profits

Strategic priorities are to drive full potential in Support, improve margins in applications and BPO, and build cloud services business

SW

Denali has built a $1.3bn+ business primarily through acquisitions (Quest)

Strategic focus on mid-market across four priority domains to drive growth – systems mgmt., security, BI and applications

Other strategic alternatives to potentially enhance shareholder value

Enhanced Capital Distribution

Benefits

Levered recap

Dividend increase

+ Levered share buyback should support current stock price and drive EPS accretion (signal undervaluation)

+ Ample firepower at A- rating

+ Utilize strong free cash flow to increase dividend

+ Dividend payers rewarded in the market

Separation of EUC business

+ Should remove revenue and margin volatility and improve financial stability

+ Should eliminate long-term secular pressure from PC industry

+ Opportunity to focus investments on higher growth / margin Enterprise business

Transformative acquisitions

+ Grow Enterprise, Software, and Services businesses in targeted areas

+ Opportunity to improve growth and margin profile

+ Synergy potential allows for incremental value creation

Sale to strategic

+ Immediate value creation

+ De-risks standalone plan

Challenges

- Limits strategic / financial flexibility going forward

- Low domestic cash flow and limited cash to pay interest

- Currently expected to consume ~100% of U.S. cash flow

- Signals lack of attractive organic investment opportunities

- Payout higher than peers

- Diminishing marginal returns with yields beyond 3.0-3.5%

- Loss of scale and intersegment synergies

- Potential impact on remaining segments, including S&P, Services and DFS

- Potentially diminished free cash flow and debt capacity

- Timing, feasibility and complexity in a challenged industry environment

- Actionability of targets of scale at reasonable valuations

- Market not ascribing value for $11.5bn spent on acquisitions since 2009

- Market reaction and integration risk

- Interloper risk for key assets

- Limited currently available U.S. cash

- Uncertainty in macro environment

- Transaction size likely a deterrent

- Strategic buyer for the entire business is unlikely

III. Perspectives on Denali’s Valuation

EVERCORE PARTNERS


LOGO

 

Key Valuation Considerations

Confidential

Status Quo Value Considerations

Medium / long-term PC industry growth and margin structure, and Denali’s position / share in the industry

Denali’s ability to reverse historical inability to penetrate the growing Smartphone & Tablet markets

Denali’s ability to leverage its $13+ billion in recent acquisitions to create a compelling enterprise stack relative to IBM, EMC, Oracle, Cisco, HP, etc.

Denali’s ability to seamlessly transition its sales organization from PC-focused to Enterprise-focused while simultaneously growing the business

Will historical attach rates (sales of other products with hardware) continue at the same rates with the projected shift in business mix toward Enterprise?

How much cost savings can Management achieve and how long will it take to realize those savings?

To what extent are productivity gains needed/required in order to maintain the current margins as opposed to contributing to expanding margins?

What is the appropriate trade-off between cost savings and configuration flexibility, and how will customers react to these changes?

What are the impacts of shifting from a build-to-order model towards a build-to-stock model?

Will Denali transition from a valuation multiple in line with a “broken” HP to a more representative blended multiple? If so, when?

Value of cash on balance sheet given significant offshore cash

Does a structural separation (spin-off, split-off, sale) of the Client or the Enterprise-related businesses create enhanced shareholder value, after factoring in separation dis-synergies, execution risk and loss of scale?

Strategic Alternatives to a Sale

Can a large share buyback funded through the repatriation of foreign cash create enhanced shareholder value and still preserve flexibility to prosecute Denali’s M&A agenda in Enterprise?

Denali’s “Self-Help” Transformational Alternatives

Confidential

Complete Separation

Pros

Cons

Tax Free Spin-off of Enterprise or Client Business

Market valuations for both Enterprise and Client businesses

Negative sourcing, infrastructure and distribution synergies estimated at potentially $1.2 billion annually

Separation of high and low growth businesses

Possibility to institute a significant dividend for the Client business

Loss of scale

RMT of Client Businesses

Potential to lead Client market consolidation through an RMT with an Asian player

Negative sourcing, infrastructure and distribution synergies

Current depressed market valuation may complicate negotiations

Manufacturing synergies

Denali would receive a market valuation for its weaker business

Separation of high and low growth businesses

RMT of Enterprise Businesses

Would help Denali to significantly expand its enterprise stack

Negative sourcing, infrastructure and distribution synergies

Separation of high and low growth businesses

Current market valuation may complicate negotiations

Partial Separation

Subsidiary IPO of Enterprise Business

Enterprise receives market valuation

Requires arm’s length relationships between the two businesses

Synergies between Enterprise and Client businesses are preserved

Creation of valuable acquisition currency

Possibility to institute a significant dividend for the Client business

Other

Tracking Stock for Enterprise Business

Performances of Enterprise business are highlighted to the market

Limited historical record of unlocking shareholder value

Synergies between Enterprise and Client businesses are preserved

Share Buyback

Significant, one-time return of capital to shareholders, funded by the repatriation of offshore cash

May signal to the market that Denali has no better strategic alternatives

Does not highlight to the market the value of the Enterprise Business and does not provide a basis for multiple expansion

Utilizing a considerable portion of the current cash balance and keeping it public may affect future strategic flexibility

Maximizing the Impact of a Go-Shop Period

Confidential

Duration of

A longer go-shop period increases the amount of time that potential third parties have to evaluate a possible transaction

Go-Shop Period

– The complexity of a transaction and the current industry and market conditions can potentially impact the duration of a go-shop

Termination Fee

A lower termination fee in effect during the go-shop period reduces the value leakage to shareholders

During Go-Shop Period

– A superior proposal needs to overcome the implied termination fee per share in addition to providing incremental value to shareholders

– If a transaction is not consummated, shareholders bear the cost of the termination fee

Definition of a Broader definition of what constitutes a superior proposal gives more latitude to the Special Committee

Superior Proposal

Matching rights, unless limited, serve to discourage bidders and should be avoided Maximize the effectiveness of the go-shop period through exhaustive advanced planning

Advanced

– Targeted list of parties to contact, including the potential for bidding groups including sponsors and strategics

Preparation

– NDA and other legal documentation ready for distribution on day 1

– Fully-populated and extensive virtual data room

– Availability of management team for due diligence

Role of Management

Carefully consider how to incentivize management to support the transaction that maximizes shareholder value

2013 outlook

2012 market ended with record tight spreads and issuance

The leveraged finance markets have opened up 2013 with a strong tone and new issuance volume is likely to remain elevated

Volatility expected to return for political and economic reasons

Leveraged buyouts are being successfully financed, with the largest transaction in 2012 by an Apollo-led consortium acquiring EP Energy, a subsidiary of El Paso, for $7.2bn

Proposed Denali financing is significantly larger than any post-crisis transaction, but should be executable in current market environment

Commentary

Potential for incremental $1.5bn in cash for the transaction based on preliminary tax structuring prepared by Denali management

Tax structuring and minimum cash continues to be discussed

Funded debt of $17.8bn would be reduced by $2bn with a strategic partner

Increase in total leverage from $15.0bn (3.2x EBITDA) to $17.8bn (3.8x EBITDA)

Bank receptivity to financing seems to be favorable

Minimum 4B rating likely required to achieve full debt quantum

Southeastern assumed not to roll

New cash equity up to $1.5bn

Note: Assumes transaction date of 7/31/13; Debt and cash as of 7/31/13; Amounts and structure are purely illustrative; leverageable EBITDA of $4,737

Other strategic alternatives to potentially enhance shareholder value

Enhanced Capital Distribution

Levered recap

Dividend increase

Separation of EUC business

Transformative acquisitions

Sale to strategic

Benefits

+ Levered share buyback should support current stock price and drive EPS accretion (signal undervaluation)

+ Ample firepower at A- rating

+ Utilize strong free cash flow to increase dividend

+ Dividend payers rewarded in the market

+ Should remove revenue and margin volatility and improve financial stability

+ Should eliminate long-term secular pressure from PC industry

+ Opportunity to focus investments on higher growth / margin Enterprise business

+ Grow Enterprise, Software, and Services businesses in targeted areas

+ Opportunity to improve growth and margin profile

+ Synergy potential allows for incremental value creation

+ Immediate value creation

+ De-risks standalone plan

Challenges

- Limits strategic / financial flexibility going forward

- Low domestic cash flow and limited cash to pay interest

- Currently expected to consume ~100% of U.S. cash flow

- Signals lack of attractive organic investment opportunities

- Payout higher than peers

- Diminishing marginal returns with yields beyond 3.0-3.5%

- Loss of scale and intersegment synergies

- Potential impact on remaining segments, including S&P, Services and DFS

- Potentially diminished free cash flow and debt capacity

- Timing, feasibility and complexity in a challenged industry environment

- Actionability of targets of scale at reasonable valuations

- Market not ascribing value for $11.5bn spent on acquisitions since 2009

- Market reaction and integration risk

- Interloper risk for key assets

- Limited currently available U.S. cash

- Uncertainty in macro environment

- Transaction size likely a deterrent

- Strategic buyer for the entire business is unlikely

Denali’s markets challenged by macro headwinds and weak IT spending outlook

Increased pressure from progressively deteriorating PC market environment

Continued weak operating and financial performance across the PC sector

Key Street positives

“Despite the challenges in Denali’s PC business, we believe Denali’s efforts to migrate up the value stack and shift its earnings stream to more IP-rich solutions will ultimately drive shareholder value.”

“Denali’s balance sheet remains in good condition, and operating cash flow rebounded nicely in 3Q following two consecutive weak quarters.”

Key Street negatives

“Denali still needs PC scale/channels for any enterprise transition to work, and either way seems unable to fill up the enterprise side of its revenue tub as fast as PCs drain out the other.”

“The strategy of “staying above the fray” to protect PC margins isn’t working; recent results could make mincemeat of its long-term forecasts.”

Preliminary Analysis – For Discussion Purposes Only Strictly Private and Confidential

Update since our last meeting

J.P. Morgan met with the Special Committee on October 27th to review the initial bids

Since then, Sponsor A, Salamander and their respective legal and tax advisors have met with Denali management to continue to perform business, financial and tax diligence

Sponsor A and Salamander have also separately met with the founding shareholder to assist them in further considering a potential transaction

BCG has been hired to work with the Special Committee, J.P. Morgan and Debevoise to help assess public alternatives for Denali. BCG has since been provided access to the data room and has met with management and other stakeholders to review the business in detail

A revised indication of interest was received from Salamander on December 4th. Sponsor A has decided to drop out of the process

Preliminary Analysis - For Discussion Purposes Only Strictly Private and Confidential

J.P. Morgan diligence observations

Business

Key observations

EUC is a key driver to the ongoing viability of the Services, S&P and DFS businesses

Additional diligence required to fully assess attach rates and impact of PC cycles and revenue mix shifts

Likely significant dis-synergies from separation of the EUC business - yet to be quantified

DFS is integral to the funding / competitiveness of the business

Substantial inefficiencies in sales force / go-to-market approach with proactive efforts underway to improve structure

With recent scale acquisitions key elements of enterprise solution are in place; however, successful integration is critical to effectively transform the business

Significant transformation and momentum shift required to execute on management business plan

Questions surrounding depth in talent below executive level

Financial

Limited near- and long-term visibility into the financial and operating performance of EUC, particularly given the ongoing debate between market share growth vs. margin preservation

Lack of clarity regarding specifics of cost savings initiatives and reinvestment opportunities and too early in transition to fully reflect details in financial model

Potential flexibility to meaningfully reduce working capital needs through adjustment of intercompany and vendor payment terms

Tax

Substantial degree of confidence in ability to access up-front cash without adverse U.S. tax implications

However, additional diligence required to get comfortable with potential tax leakage from repatriation of future off-shore cash flows

Pro forma capitalization ($ in billions)

$ Amount xLTM EBITDA

Total new debt raised $10.1 2.0x

Rollover debt $4.9 1.0x

Total debt $15.0 3.0x

Observations

Total Debt

$10bn or approximately 2x EBITDA of new LBO debt could be raised for Denali

Continued softness in Denali operating performance could impact capacity and cost of the debt execution

Leveraged finance market volatility has increased over the last several weeks due to concerns over the pending fiscal cliff although market conditions remain strong

Debt can be raised through a combination of Term Loans (pro rata and institutional) and high yield bonds

A majority of the new debt raised will likely be secured in order to minimize costs

LOGO

 

Preliminary Analysis - For Discussion Purposes Only Strictly Private and Confidential

Key considerations for additional suitors

Approach others pre-signing

Opportunity to create additional competitive tension

Ability to run an efficient process using extensive diligence preparation to date

Other financial sponsors exist with potential ability to act

Risk of leak increases

May result in a longer process

Financial buyers have similar return hurdles that drive value

Do not approach others pre-signing

Unlikely to see any material difference, given comparable LP make-up and return hurdles

Minimize risk of leak

Protect management bandwidth

Speed

Pre-signing competition limited to one existing sponsor

Other parties’ willingness to participate in a go-shop

Risk that remaining sponsor could drop out of process

If the Board decides to contact other parties, it is imperative that the founding shareholder remains a neutral party, accessible to all potential buyers

Other strategic alternatives to potentially enhance shareholder value

Enhanced Capital Distribution

Levered recap

Dividend increase

Separation of EUC business

Transformative acquisitions

Sale to strategic

Benefits

+ Levered share buyback should support current stock price and drive EPS accretion (signal undervaluation)

+ Ample firepower at A- rating

+ Utilize strong free cash flow to increase dividend

+ Dividend payers rewarded in the market

+ Should remove revenue and margin volatility and improve financial stability

+ Should eliminate long-term secular pressure from PC industry

+ Opportunity to focus investments on higher growth / margin Enterprise business

+ Grow Enterprise, Software, and Services businesses in targeted areas

+ Opportunity to improve growth and margin profile

+ Synergy potential allows for incremental value creation

+ Immediate value creation

+ De-risks standalone plan

Challenges

- Limits strategic / financial flexibility going forward

- Low domestic cash flow and limited cash to pay interest

- Currently expected to consume ~100% of U.S. cash flow

- Signals lack of attractive organic investment opportunities

- Payout higher than peers

- Diminishing marginal returns with yields beyond 3.0-3.5%

- Loss of scale and intersegment synergies

- Potential impact on remaining segments, including S&P, Services and DFS

- Potentially diminished free cash flow and debt capacity

- Timing, feasibility and complexity in a deteriorating industry environment

- Actionability of targets of scale at reasonable valuations

- Market not ascribing value for $11.5bn spent on acquisitions since 2009

- Market reaction and integration risk

- Interloper risk for key assets

- Limited currently available U.S. cash

- Uncertainty in macro environment

- Transaction size likely a deterrent

- Strategic buyer for the entire business is unlikely

Preliminary Analysis - For Discussion Purposes Only Strictly Private and Confidential

Case study - HP’s announced separation of the Personal Systems Group (PSG)1

Overview of separation announcement

Positioned as an opportunity to accelerate HP’s transformation into higher growth / margin categories

Was expected to be completed in 12-18 months

Stock price closed at $23.60 per share, dropping 20% for the day to a six-year low

Isolating impact on stock price is challenging

Negative reception of $11.7bn Autonomy acquisition

Plan to shut down WebOS ($1.2bn Palm acquisition) perceived as a mis-step

3 consecutive quarters of below consensus guidance

Poor articulation of benefits / near-term dis-synergies

HP’s case study is informative but not indicative of investor reaction for a Denali separation of EUC

Street perspectives at announcement

Positives

“Longer term, separating PSG from HP should help accelerate the company’s revenue growth and

improve the overall profitability.”

Negatives

“We believe this strategic evaluation has the potential to be extremely disruptive to the normal course of business (negatively impacts commodity procurement, distribution, partnering etc).”

“We believe mgmt will have its hands full in looking for

strategic options for PSG (& webOS business), allaying customer support concerns in the event of a spin-off/sale (a process that could take 12-18 months) & integrating its announced acquisition.”

Key Street positives

“Despite the challenges in Denali’s PC business, we believe Denali’s efforts to migrate up the value stack and shift its earnings stream to more IP-rich solutions will ultimately drive shareholder value.”

“Denali’s balance sheet remains in good condition, and operating cash flow rebounded nicely in 3Q following two consecutive weak quarters.”

Key Street negatives

“Denali still needs PC scale/channels for any enterprise transition to work, and either way seems unable to fill up the enterprise side of its revenue tub as fast as PCs drain out the other.”

“The strategy of “staying above the fray” to protect PC margins isn’t working; recent results could make mincemeat of its long-term forecasts.”

Preliminary Analysis – For Discussion Purposes Only Strictly Private and Confidential

Update since our last meeting

J.P. Morgan met with the Special Committee on October 27th to review the initial bids

Since then, Sponsor A, Salamander and their respective legal and tax advisors have met with Denali management to continue to perform business, financial and tax diligence

Sponsor A and Salamander have also separately met with the founding shareholder to assist them in further considering a potential transaction

BCG has been hired to work with the Special Committee, J.P. Morgan and Debevoise to help assess public alternatives for Denali. BCG has since been provided access to the data room and has met with management and other stakeholders to review the business in detail

A revised indication of interest was received from Salamander on December 4th. Sponsor A has decided to drop out of the process

J.P. Morgan diligence observations

Business

Financial

Tax

Key observations

EUC is a key driver to the ongoing viability of the Services, S&P and DFS businesses

Additional diligence required to fully assess attach rates and impact of PC cycles and revenue mix shifts

Likely significant dis-synergies from separation of the EUC business - yet to be quantified

DFS is integral to the funding / competitiveness of the business

Substantial inefficiencies in sales force / go-to-market approach with proactive efforts underway to

improve structure

With recent scale acquisitions key elements of enterprise solution are in place; however, successful

integration is critical to effectively transform the business

Significant transformation and momentum shift required to execute on management business plan

Questions surrounding depth in talent below executive level

Limited near-and long-term visibility into the financial and operating performance of EUC, particularly

given the ongoing debate between market share growth vs. margin preservation

Lack of clarity regarding specifics of cost savings initiatives and reinvestment opportunities and too

early in transition to fully reflect details in financial model

Potential flexibility to meaningfully reduce working capital needs through adjustment of intercompany

and vendor payment terms

Substantial degree of confidence in ability to access up-front cash without adverse U.S. tax

implications

However, additional diligence required to get comfortable with potential tax leakage from repatriation of

future off-shore cash flows

Observations

Total Debt

$10bn of new debt can be

raised for Denali if spread

among various markets

Recent and continued

softness in Denali

performance could impact

capacity and cost

Market volatility has

increased given the pending

fiscal cliff. However, overall

market conditions remain

strong

Term loans will be raised

through combination of

institutional and bank/pro rata

to minimize cost and optimize

flexibility; rest will be raised

in the high yield markets

LOGO

 

Preliminary Analysis - For Discussion Purposes Only Strictly Private and Confidential

Key considerations for additional suitors

Approach others pre-signing

Opportunity to create additional competitive tension

Ability to run an efficient process using

extensive diligence preparation to date

Other financial sponsors exist with potential

ability to act

Risk of leak increases

May result in a longer process

Financial buyers have similar return hurdles that

drive value

Do not approach others pre-signing

Unlikely to see any material difference, given

comparable LP make-up and return hurdles

Minimize risk of leak

Protect management bandwidth

Speed

Pre-signing competition limited to one existing sponsor

Other parties’ willingness to participate in a go-shop

Risk that remaining sponsor could drop out of process

If the Board decides to contact other parties, it is imperative that the founding shareholder remains a neutral party, accessible to all potential buyers

Challenges

Limits strategic / financial flexibility going forward

Low domestic cash flow and limited cash to pay interest

Currently expected to consume ~100% of U.S. cash flow

Signals lack of attractive organic investment opportunities

Payout higher than peers

Diminishing marginal returns with yields beyond 3.0-3.5%

Loss of scale and intersegment synergies

Potential impact on remaining segments, including S&P, Services and DFS

Potentially diminished free cash flow and debt capacity

Timing, feasibility and complexity in a deteriorating industry environment

Actionability of targets of scale at reasonable valuations

Market not ascribing value for $11.5bn spent on acquisitions since 2009

Market reaction and integration risk

Interloper risk for key assets

Limited currently available U.S. cash

Uncertainty in macro environment

Transaction size likely a deterrent

Strategic buyer for the entire business is unlikely

Preliminary Analysis - For Discussion Purposes Only Strictly Private and Confidential

Case study - HP’s announced separation of the Personal Systems Group (PSG)1

Overview of separation announcement

Positioned as an opportunity to accelerate HP’s transformation into higher growth / margin categories

Was expected to be completed in 12-18 months

Stock price closed at $23.60 per share, dropping 20% for the day to a six-year low

Isolating impact on stock price is challenging

Negative reception of $11.7bn Autonomy acquisition

Plan to shut down WebOS ($1.2bn Palm acquisition) perceived as a mis-step

3 consecutive quarters of below consensus guidance

Poor articulation of benefits / near-term dis-synergies

HP’s case study is informative but not indicative of investor reaction for a Denali separation of EUC

Street perspectives at announcement

Positives

“Longer term, separating PSG from HP should help accelerate the company’s revenue growth and improve the overall profitability.”

Negatives

“We believe this strategic evaluation has the potential to be extremely disruptive to the normal course of business (negatively impacts commodity procurement, distribution, partnering etc).”

“We believe mgmt will have its hands full in looking for strategic options for PSG (& webOS business), allaying customer support concerns in the event of a spin-off/sale (a process that could take 12-18 months) & integrating its announced acquisition.”

Considerations

- Limits strategic / financial flexibility going forward

- Low domestic cash flow and limited cash to pay interest

- Currently consumes ~100% of U.S. cash

- Signals lack of attractive organic investment opportunities

- Payout higher than peers

- Diminishing marginal returns with yields beyond 3.0-3.5%

- Loss of scale and intersegment synergies

- Potential impact on remaining segments, including S&P, Services and DFS

- Potentially diminished free cash flow and debt capacity

- Actionability of targets of scale at reasonable valuations

- Market not ascribing value for $11.5bn spent on acquisitions since 2009

- Market reaction and integration risk

- Interloper risk for key assets

- Limited U.S. cash - currently $500mm1

- Uncertainty in macro environment

- Transaction size likely a deterrent

- Strategic buyer for the entire business is unlikely

Preliminary Analysis - For Discussion Purposes Only Strictly Private and Confidential

Executive summary

Denali’s business has been challenged over the past two years due to a weak economic backdrop and rapidly shifting market trends

Given current industry outlook, there is a significant likelihood of continued earnings volatility in the quarters ahead

Investors are materially discounting future EUC performance

Limited domestic cash flow and firepower combined with ongoing integration activities should limit additional opportunities for transformative M&A activity over the near-term

A leveraged buyout of Denali could be feasible under current market conditions but may have limited value upside

Other strategic and operational alternatives exist to inflect value and should be fully explored

A separation strategy, while facing operational and execution challenges, could unlock significant potential value and merits further review

Key takeaways

IDC and Gartner reported that PC shipments in Q3 2012 fell more than 8% from a year earlier, the steepest drop since 2001

Bearish Morgan Stanley forecast expects a flat PC market due to rising cannibalization rates, driven by tablet adoption in Enterprise

IDC expects 7.0% unit shipment growth and 4.5% revenue growth from 2012-2015

Near-term revenue CAGR of 1.3% from 2010-2012

Denali expects revenue growth of 3.0%5 from 2012-2015, with a focus on higher margin mid-to-high price bands

Enhanced Capital Distribution

Levered recap

Dividend increase

Separation of EUC business

Transformative acquisitions

Sale to strategic

Benefits

+ Levered share buyback should support current stock

price and drive EPS accretion (signal undervaluation)

+ Ample firepower at A- rating

+ Utilize strong free cash flow to increase dividend

+ Dividend payers rewarded in the market

+ Should remove revenue and margin volatility and

improve financial stability

+ Should eliminate long-term secular pressure from PC

industry

+ Opportunity to focus investments on higher growth /

margin Enterprise business

+ Grow Enterprise, Software, and Services businesses

in targeted areas

+ Opportunity to improve growth and margin profile

+ Synergy potential allows for incremental value creation

+ Immediate value creation

+ De-risks standalone plan

Considerations

- Limits strategic / financial flexibility going forward

- Low domestic cash flow and limited cash to pay interest

- Currently consumes ~100% of U.S. cash

- Signals lack of attractive organic investment opportunities

- Payout higher than peers

- Diminishing marginal returns with yields beyond 3.0-3.5%

- Loss of scale and intersegment synergies

- Potential impact on remaining segments, including S&P,

Services and DFS

- Potentially diminished free cash flow and debt capacity

- Actionability of targets of scale at reasonable valuations

- Market not ascribing value for $11.5bn spent on

acquisitions since 2009

- Market reaction and integration risk

- Interloper risk for key assets

- Limited U.S. cash - currently $500mm1

- Uncertainty in macro environment

- Transaction size likely a deterrent

- Strategic buyer for the entire business is unlikely

Leveraged buyout - what value drivers are achievable in public domain?

Primary lever Achievable in public domain? Consideration

Use of an efficient capital structure

Drives a high cost of equity / capital above a certain threshold

Limits strategic flexibility

Operational enhancement

Public scrutiny and quarter-to-quarter focus hampers ability to drive drastic operational change

At a minimum, required to maintain public company costs

Extraction of value from non-operating assets

Ability to extract overseas cash tax-efficiently (requires a material M&A transaction)

Denali has already put in place various tax efficient structures

Could explore potential for additional mechanisms

Multiple expansion

Potential to fully benefit from market expansion

Leveraged buyout key feasibility considerations

Domain Issues Current perspectives

Limited revenue visibility Near-term trends inform the forecast EUC performance Declining top-line drives negative working capital Meaningful cash flow generation when in growth mode

Tax leakage in repatriation of cash to An offshore structure is feasible but could effect a transaction as well as to result in significant tax leakage for Tax structuring efficiently fund debt pay-down founding shareholder and significantly impact public sector revenues

Maintain simple on-shore / U.S. domicile with upfront tax leakage

[***] [***]

Significant cash / funding needs Min cash requirements to remain high but Liquidity potential, as private entity, to drive towards lower end of normalized range

Post buy-out funding strategy for DFS will require additional parent liquidity DFS

Partially mitigated through an ABS

Reduction in ratings will reduce structure DFS earnings contribution from DFS earnings with questionable return for Offsets potential complexity of executing sponsors on a sale or third party partnership

PROJECT DENALI UPDATE

Leveraged buyout - key structuring assumptions and considerations

Key structuring assumptions

Total debt of up to $15.3bn or approximately 3.1x debt / adjusted EBITDA

Up to $6bn secured financing consisting of either:

- $2.9bn of asset-backed securitization (new DFS funding) and $3.1bn new guaranteed secured debt, or

- $6.0bn of new guaranteed secured debt

Up to $4.0bn new guaranteed unsecured debt

$5.3bn of existing debt assumed to roll over as junior capital

BB corporate rating required for execution

Assumes rollover of founding shareholder and Southeastern AM equity

Assumes $5.5bn of minimum cash

New cash equity from sponsors, LPs and / or other strategics of approximately $7.5bn

Minimum equity check for the financing is 40%

Rollover debt considerations

Denali’s Senior Notes and Debentures will stay in the capital structure following the buyout

None have a change of control provision, and they will automatically roll into the new capital structure

We recommend refinancing short-dated maturities to improve execution of the new debt and provide added run way

The Senior Notes and Debentures have loose investment grade covenants, and there is considerable flexibility on the amount of secured debt which can be raised

The liens test of 10% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets (“CNTA”), only applies to “Principal Property” with a value of greater than 1% of CNTA. There is no limitation on current assets, or on the Denali brand name, or on smaller property.

All secured debt can be sold under a single credit agreement and/or indenture

The Senior Notes and Debentures do not have guarantees and are effectively a “HoldCo” / subordinated to the new secured and unsecured debt which will have guarantees

Denali’s Revolver, Commercial Paper, and Structured Financing will be refinanced at close

OTHER STRATEGIC ALTERNATIVES

Other strategic alternatives to potentially enhance shareholder value

Benefits Considerations

A Enhanced Capital Distribution

Levered recap

+ Levered share buyback would support current stock price and drive EPS accretion (signal undervaluation)

+ Ample firepower at A- rating

- Limits strategic / financial flexibility going forward

- Low domestic cash flow and limited cash to pay interest

Dividend increase

+ Utilize strong free cash flow to increase dividend

+ Dividend payers rewarded in the market

- Currently consumes ~100% of U.S. cash

- Signals lack of attractive organic investment opportunities

- Payout higher than peers

- Diminishing marginal returns with yields beyond 3.0-3.5%

B Separation of EUC business

+ Removes revenue and margin volatility and improves financial stability

+ Eliminates long-term secular pressure from PC industry

+ Opportunity to focus investments on higher growth / margin Enterprise business

- Loss of scale and intersegment synergies

- Potential impact on remaining segments, including S&P, Services and DFS

- Potentially diminished free cash flow and debt capacity

C Transformative acquisitions

+ Grow Enterprise, Software, and Services businesses in targeted areas

+ Opportunity to improve growth and margin profile

+ Synergy potential allows for incremental value creation

- Actionability of targets of scale at reasonable valuations

- Market reaction and integration risk

- Interloper risk for key assets

- Limited U.S. cash - currently $500mm1

D Sale to strategic

+ Immediate value creation

+ De-risks standalone plan

- Uncertainty in macro environment

- Transaction size likely a deterrent

- Strategic buyer for the entire business is unlikely

OTHER STRATEGIC ALTERNATIVES

A Enhanced capital distribution - framework to evaluate future dividend increases

Considerations

Current dividend is competitive

3.3% yield, approximately 94% of FY14E domestic free cash flow

$0.04 increase would result in a payout ratio of over 106% of FY14E domestic free cash flow

Limited benefit of increasing dividend yield and payout ratio beyond current level

Threshold for attracting significant income-oriented investors is generally a ~2%+ yield

Very few strong S&P 500 companies pay more than a 4% dividend yield

Could restrict Denali’s strategic flexibility, especially for domestic acquisitions

Potential changes to dividend tax rate could increase after-tax cost of dividends relative to share repurchases

Synergies between enterprise related assets across ESG, Services and Software

Little technology overlap with Enterprise Solutions and Software

Important sourcing synergies

Important sourcing synergies

Capital Structure

Strong balance sheet provides flexibility for strategic opportunities

Strong balance sheet provides flexibility for strategic opportunities and vendor financing

Strong working capital management drives cash conversion cycle

While both EUC and the remaining businesses have important points of synergy, is it unlikely they would be combined if they were separate today

OTHER STRATEGIC ALTERNATIVES

B Separation alternatives for EUC

Alternatives Conditions for execution Considerations for Denali

Tracking stock

Parent wants to retain 100% ownership

Parent wants to retain unified borrowing capacity

Rarely used in market as separation technique

Significant conflicts and issues arise from single board and lack of legal separation

Does not provide corporate clarity

Poorly received by markets in terms of valuation, research coverage and investor reception

Trade at a valuation discount to true spin offs

Joint venture

Parent wishes to retain control, but lacks certain capabilities provided by partner

Difficult to execute for EUC given scale, interdependencies with other Denali businesses and requirements for capital

Precludes other tax efficient alternatives

Limited set of JV / merger partners

Permanent carve-out

Parent wishes to retain control

Direct monetization of only a minority of subsidiary’s value needed

Sub is viable public company

Difficult to execute, given capital requirements

A partial carve out does not eliminate significant exposure to PC business

Remain exposed to EUC performance

Spin-off

Separation of businesses is desired-at least 80% of subsidiary shares must be spun-off to qualify as tax-free

Sub is viable public company

Remain exposed to EUC performance

One-step process can be effected by ParentCo, assuming EUC is viable as a stand-alone business

A 100% spin of EUC will require significant IR investment to reposition both research and investor bases for Remain Co and EUC

Can retain up to 19.9% equity ownership in EUC in order to capture future upside value

Split-off

Separation of businesses is desired-at least 80% of subsidiary shares must be tendered to qualify as tax-free

Sub is viable public company

Similar to spin-off except that current business profile of EUC could make exchange ratio difficult to arrange

Allows for natural investor segmentation

Sale

Complete separation of business is desired

A near-term control sale of EUC would likely result be at a discounted valuation

Likely low tax basis compounds negative effect of tax leakage

Limited set of buyers given size and market

3 PC includes EUC and S&P

4 Assumes $2.1bn in revenue acquired each year remains constant thereafter, exceeding the combined EUC and S&P revenue of $37.9bn (kept constant from FY13) by FY32

15%+ management IRR target for acquisitions1

Limited U.S. free cash flow and firepower limits ability to make large scale acquisitions

Assuming the PC3 segment remains flat, and Denali acquires $2.1bn in additional revenue each year, the aggregate annual revenue from acquisitions would exceed PC revenue in FY324

PRELIMINARY OBSERVATIONS AND NEXT STEPS

Preliminary observations and next steps

Current Denali stock price and investor sentiment towards the sector provide a challenging backdrop to evaluate potential strategic alternatives

Uncertainty around future performance of EUC creates significant volatility around future valuation outcomes

Management’s visibility remains poor but expectations around future performance are aggressive relative to recent trends

Management’s recent track record of execution and achieving expectations has been poor

Investors are currently significantly discounting future EUC performance

A leveraged buyout of Denali may be feasible in current market conditions

Large equity check required

Potential tax inefficiencies

Likely conservatism towards future EUC performance

Other strategic and financial alternatives exist to realize value and should be carefully explored

Separation strategies around EUC could potentially unlock significant shareholder value

APPENDIX

Potential tax structure 1 - Benefits and considerations

Key considerations

Can likely access existing offshore cash without U.S. tax

Some precedents for the structure

Will result in cross-ownership of various consolidated Denali entities

Future foreign cash can be used to service debt without U.S. tax

Will require more complicated debt structure

Large shareholders receive shares of Foreign Hybrid in a tax-free transaction

Can contribute to an entity treated as a partnership - for U.S. tax purposes tax-free

Can utilize foreign holding company structure without violating inversion tax rules (anti-Tyco rules)

Foreign Hybrid must not go public for at least two years

Sponsors may form another Foreign holding company to hold its shares in Foreign Hybrid and take that entity public

Lack of precedent

New structure - has not been executed publicly

Political

Does high profile nature of Denali raise issues?

Government contracts

Inversion could impact Denali’s federal, state, and/or municipal contracts

Summary observations

Limited near-term visibility on operating and financial performance continues to be a challenge

Misses vs. street expectations have put investors in a “wait and see mode” with increased focus on quarter-by-quarter execution and increased visibility

To reflect changing market and business dynamics, management presented a revised plan to the Board on September 21, 2012

The current plan was prepared off cycle by senior finance executives and does not include the benefit of perspectives from business segment leaders

Management currently reports only on an end market basis, therefore cost allocation is on a preliminary basis for product segments

Denali’s most recent management plan was benchmarked against

Past performance vs. plan

Street consensus

Industry and peer forecast

Key observations from benchmarking analysis performed on management plan

Management’s current FY13 plan is effectively in-line with Street consensus on a revenue, gross profit and operating income basis

Management’s current FY14 plan is above Street consensus on a revenue, gross profit and operating income basis

ESG: On an aggregate basis, ESG is forecasted to grow at ‘12-’16 CAGR of 7.0% which exceeds industry forecasts. CY12-’13 growth of 7.9% exceeds peer estimates with profitability below peers

S&P: Forecasted to grow at ‘12-’16 CAGR of 2.1% which is below industry forecasts. CY12-’13 growth of 2.0% is below peer estimates with profitability above peers

Management plans - Process

July Board case

“Bottoms-up” build of plan with involvement of key business heads

Process began in May and was completed by June

Did not have visibility into Q2 weakness (underperformance versus plan by approximately $1bn)

8/21 Street guidance

In conjunction with Q2 earnings results, management lowered revenue growth and EPS guidance to 2-5% q-o-q decline and $1.70, respectively

9/21 management case

Top-down reforecast taking Q2 weakness and softening outlook into account

Senior management allocated operating expenses across segments on a preliminary basis

Revised FY13 starting point, which still ties to the $1.70 EPS external guidance

Lower EUC and S&P revenue growth rates due to

An accelerating trend towards alternate devices

Evidence of lengthening replacement cycles

Channel drawdown in advance of Windows 8 migration

Lack of seasonal uptick from public and government sectors

Reduced EUC, S&P and Servers / Storage margins to reflect increasingly aggressive competition, growth shift towards lower price bands, erosion of emerging market margins and lagging impact from FY12 / 13 investments

Lower operating expenses as a result of lower revenue and the launch of a cost out initiative

Denali investor considerations

Stock price has declined ~30% over the last year while the NASDAQ is up ~22%1 Global IT spending outlook continues to remain under pressure Limited near-term visibility on operating and financial performance

Significant PC weakness and share loss in key emerging markets that have historically been major growth drivers for Denali

Execution risks of business model transition from Server and PC to Enterprise solutions provider

Reliance on declining PC business to fund growth of Enterprise poses risk

Success in transitioning sales force to address sales execution missteps remains unproven

Missed Street expectations have put investors in a “wait and see mode” with increased focus on quarter-by-quarter execution, improved visibility and capital allocation policy

Situation overview

Denali’s founding shareholder has expressed an interest to the lead independent director in exploring the possibility of making a proposal to take the company private

The founding shareholder has informally discussed this possibility with Sponsor A, Silver Lake Partners and Southeastern Asset Management (7.5%¹ shareholder) and has retained legal counsel The founding shareholder currently owns 15.4% of Denali’s outstanding shares² The founding shareholder’s total net worth is estimated to be $15.9B as of March 2012³ with more than $10 billion managed by the founding shareholder’s private investment fund

The founding shareholder, Silver Lake and Sponsor A have executed NDAs which restrict their ability to:

Communicate with each other (other than discussions with the founding shareholder), other parties and Denali regarding the proposed transaction Engage with and retain financing sources Share and receive information without the Committee’s consent Enter into any agreement with respect to Denali, its securities or a potential transaction without the Committee’s consent Make any acquisition proposal unless invited by the Committee The founding shareholder has agreed to remain neutral

Silver Lake and Sponsor A have submitted preliminary diligence request lists, but no diligence has been provided

No offer has been submitted

Management is in the process of updating forecasts given the weak start to Q3 and recently revised guidance

1 Southeastern Asset Management ownership based on 13-F as of 6/30/12

2 Ownership percentage based on Denali’s proxy as of 05/24/12 and includes 1.6% beneficially owned by the founding shareholder’s spouse

³ The founding shareholder’s approximate net worth based on Forbes’ estimate as of March 2012

Denali investor considerations

Stock price has declined ~25% over the last year while the NASDAQ is up ~25%

Global IT spending outlook continues to remain under pressure

Limited near-term visibility on operating and financial performance

Significant PC weakness and share loss in key emerging markets that have historically been major growth drivers for Denali

Execution risks of business model transition from Server and PC to Enterprise solutions provider

Reliance on declining PC business to fund growth of Enterprise poses risk

Success in transitioning sales force to address sales execution missteps remains unproven

Missed Street expectations have put investors in a “wait and see mode” with increased focus on quarter-by-quarter execution and improved visibility

Anatomy of an LBO - structure

In an LBO transaction an acquirer (“financial buyer” or “sponsor”) purchases a company with a relatively small amount of equity and significant use of debt

Debt is typically funded from 2 or more sources:

1st tranche of bank / senior debt and will also include an unfunded revolving credit facility for working capital needs

2nd tranche of high yield debt

Occasionally a mezzanine debt tranche is introduced in place of high yield

Sponsors seek to generate returns on their equity investment and use financial leverage to increase potential returns

A sponsor typically would expect to realize a return within 3 to 5 years via an outright sale, public offering or recapitalization

Financial buyers evaluate investments with an internal rate of return (IRR) analysis, which measures return on equity

Multiple of cash invested (e.g. 2.0x) is also a key parameter, particularly for larger transactions

IRR will be used as the primary means to determine the appropriate purchase price by a sponsor and will be impacted by:

Financial projections

Debt capacity / amount of sponsor equity

Realistic exit opportunity and assumptions

For Discussion Purposes Only

Strictly Private and Confidential

Anatomy of an LBO - value creation

A financial sponsor has 4 primary levers with which to create value:

1 Use of an efficient capital structure

2 Operational enhancement

3 Extraction of value from non-operating assets

4 Multiple expansion

1 Efficient capital structure: This is the primary way in which value is created and is achieved through the low cost of debt to finance the acquisition and minimize the higher cost of capital

Value of equity grows as debt is paid down

2 Operational enhancement: Can also create value by enhancing profitability of the business through organic growth, working capital enhancements, cost-cutting and realizing synergies from add-on acquisitions

3 Extraction of value from non-operating assets: In conjunction with the base levers, financial buyers occasionally put in place aggressive structures with respect to real estate, IP and ability to access / transfer cash in a more tax-efficient manner (e.g. re-domiciling in a foreign jurisdiction)

4 Multiple expansion: In addition, expansion in potential market valuation multiples (i.e. buy low, sell high) can create value, albeit not controlled by the sponsor

Key considerations for a leveraged buyout of Denali

Efficient structuring to limit tax leakage in repatriating cash to effect a transaction, as well as to efficiently fund debt pay-down over time

Potential negative sales impact within government customer base if redomiciled

Effect of a change-of-control transaction on outstanding debt

~65% of existing debt does not contain change of control provisions, thereby materially reducing the debt commitments and inherent cost of capital

Although untested post credit crisis, J.P. Morgan believes $10 billion of new debt capacity exists for a benchmark BB rated LBO

Denali debt capacity will be governed by the credit story and trends, achieving a BB rating profile and maximum leverage consistent with current enterprise value

Roll-over of existing debt will help with the capital structure and cost of capital

Quantum of equity and potential number of sponsor participants required

Depending on founding shareholder equity contribution, may require largest equity check in LBO history

Typically would not see a single sponsor commit more than $2 billion in a single transaction

Limited post-crisis history of multi-party “club” consortium deals due to governance complexity

The terms of an initial proposal from the founding shareholder will inform us substantially on next steps and will dictate amount of debt as well as potential number of participants per consortium

Improved technicals in the high yield market coupled with a more settled macroeconomic picture have created favorable new issue conditions in the primary market

The high yield and leveraged loan markets are very strong and are at the lowest yields since the indexes have been tracked. However there are event risks in coming months, ranging from Europe to fiscal policy in the United States, which can impact the yield in and depth of the market

Depending on the size of the investment from the founding shareholder’s private investment fund, an LBO would require a consortium of financial sponsors

Sponsors may be able to increase equity commitments through co-investment by LPs (e.g. pensions, sovereign wealth, etc.)

Sponsors are often wary of equity investments greater than ~10% of current fund size

Funds typically have limitations on the percentage of fund assets that can be committed to a single investment

Prepare for third-party diligence and decide with the Committee what information to share with the founding shareholder and other parties currently under NDA

In parallel J.P. Morgan to fully evaluate other strategic alternatives and also affirm feasibility / capital structure analysis of an LBO

Review initial findings with the Special Committee and arrive at a view on floor valuation necessary to engage

Provide view on market and capital structure guidance

If a concrete proposal materializes, evaluate vs. potential alternatives including stand alone strategy

If the Board decides to proceed / negotiate, consider contacting other parties and engaging in a process to maximize shareholder value

Maintain the founding shareholder as a neutral party, accessible to all potential buyers

Limit to a handful of the most logical, financially capable and motivated buyers to protect management bandwidth and confidentiality as well as ensure timing and pricing discipline

Key investor takeaways and post-earnings trading perspectives

Key positives

PC scale and channels are critical for enterprise transition to be successful

Solid performance in Server / Networking, though sustainability of above-peer growth rates remains in question

Commitment to shareholder return with up to 35% of free cash flow viewed as a positive

Lack of share repurchases during the quarter is understandable given M&A, but investors looking forward to more

buybacks in the future

Balance sheet remains in good condition, and strong cash flow for the quarter was well received

Key considerations

Denali still heavily tied to the PC market, which investors view as being significantly challenged

Decline in both revenue and gross margin, weak macro backdrop perceived as inhibiting progress of business

transition

Storage performance was weaker than expected, and investors are questioning if business has lost its momentum

Concern that Denali is going to get more price competitive in attempt to “defend turf” with less focus on profitability

Trading perspectives

Significant buying by long-only and value-oriented investors in the two weeks leading up to earnings

Hedge funds selling shares post earnings, but not to a significant degree

Long-only funds and value-oriented investors who bought shares over the last two weeks are continuing to hold

their positions

Stock price hit a 52-week low of $8.69 late morning, but made back some of the losses before close

Media commentary is consistent with investor views

“PCs are in the thick of an industry-wide decline as customers increasingly turn to tablets or smartphones. Late in the quarter, Microsoft released a new version of its operating system, dubbed Windows 8. A new Windows release typically boosted PC sales in the past, but Mr. Gladden said he doesn’t ‘expect the macro environment to get better in the short term.’ To offset the slumping PC business, Denali has been on an acquisition binge, adding a variety of software, storage and networking tools. With one exception—its server and networking business grew 11% over the quarter—revenue in each of Denali’s product categories declined from a year ago.”

–WSJ, Denali Still Struggling Amid Shift in Computer Market, 11/15/12

“Denali forecast a fourth straight quarter of declining sales as diminishing demand for personal computers overshadows the company’s efforts to diversify into more profitable products for data centers. Brian White, an analyst at Topeka Capital Markets in New York, wrote today in a note to clients that Denali’s operating profit, which declined 31 percent in the third quarter, may have bottomed, auguring well for its stock price. The stock has limited downside from current levels as we expect value investors will be attracted.”

– Bloomberg, Denali Sales Forecast Misses Estimates Amid PC-Industry Slump, 11/15/12

“Servers and networking were a bright spot in the quarter, rising by 11% in the case of networking equipment, while PCs and storage equipment fell by double digits on a percentage basis. Most bears, and the bears have the high ground with the stock at the moment, fear anything positive at Denali will be offset by the continued erosion of the PC market.”

– Barron’s, Denali: PCs Obscure Network, Server Strength, 11/15/12

“The company, once the world’s top PC maker and a pioneer in computer supply chain management, is struggling to defend its market share against Asian rivals like Lenovo. It is trying to bolster growth by focusing on products and services to corporations. The company, founded by its chief executive, M.D., said that it saw the challenging global macroeconomic environment continuing in the fourth quarter.”

–NYTimes, Hurt by Rivals From Asia, Denali Profit Falls 47%, 11/15/12

Comparison of Analyst Day versus Earnings commentary

Key themes Key Analyst Day commentary Key Earnings commentary

Business Committed to long-term business transformation Transformation beyond PCs could provide upside

transformation – Macro headwinds and pressure on PC and server – Difficulty for customers to see Denali as enterprise vendor

Continued shift to profit maximization and higher margin

Enterprise and Focus on building out specific software capabilities businesses (e.g., Quest acquisition)

strategy PC – Value of PC business is not clearly articulated – Need to be clearer on PC strategy and winning formula

SMB market’s migration to the cloud is significant opportunity Stability in the SMB market despite softness in other verticals

SMB focus Investors agree with mid-market focus with bundled offering Ability to provide cost-optimized infrastructure attractive to SMBs

Business – Competition increasing in SMB market, particularly in cloud – Continued competition in SMB market

Sound M&A decisions and effective integration M&A remains measured and focused on bolt-on acquisitions

M&A – Integrating sales teams of recently acquired companies may – Active M&A strategy may be necessary to offset PC declines

exacerbate sales force issues

Investors applaud long-term targets and focus out to FY16 Higher value product mix will help offset top-line softness

Increasingly diverse revenue mix and shift away from PC Opportunity in emerging markets could provide revenue support

Guidance and – While LT targets may be achievable, they are not conservative – Forecast and guidance is questionable, given recent results and

revenue mix PC market instability

– PC assumptions viewed as aggressive

– Financial targets assume contribution from revenue growth

– Targets assume market share gains and further M&A through additional M&A

$2bn+ annual cost savings by FY 2016

guidance Reaffirmation of cost reduction strategy

Cost reduction / $1bn coming from “core Denali” is well received, as EUC

al reinvestment provides cash for redeployment into ES&S – Plans for strategic investments in R&D, including enterprise

development, present concerns given declining revenue profile

Financi – Investors want clarity around amount of cost savings reinvested

Commitment to capital allocation with the dividend initiation well Balance sheet remains strong

Capital received by investors Strong rebound in operating cash flow

allocation /

liquidity – Concerns that the dividend may come at expense of share – Lack of share repurchases is questionable but understandable

repurchases and large-scale acquisitions in the U.S. given Quest acquisition

Added capabilities in security, cloud, data backup and protection, systems management and application modernization through acquisitions of AppAssure, SonicWALL, Wyse, Make, Clerity and Quest

Quest will contribute to a higher mix of solutions with more predictable revenue and margin streams

Strong growth in Enterprise Solutions and Services, up +5% and +15% for large enterprises and SMBs, respectively

SMB continues to be the most stable customer segment

Consumer business continues to be challenged with industry growth occurring predominantly in areas where Denali has chosen not to compete (i.e., low value and entry level desktops and notebooks)

Emerging markets have also slowed and shifted to even lower value products

Encouraged by early interest in Windows 8 touch portfolio and new opportunities in commercial and consumer segments

Desktop business held its market position relative to last year, but notebooks lost share and underperformed expectations

Areas of concern experienced by Denali and peers

Challenging global IT demand environment

Weakness in core PC market

Contraction of public sector spending

Key areas of analyst questioning during earnings call

Business strategy

Has there a been a change in strategy to limit the amount of market share given up, specifically in the enterprise category?

Why retain the PC business longer-term if newer customers driving enterprise growth are not buying Denali PCs?

What are the incremental R&D investments required going forward?

What action plans are in place to improve growth in infrastructure applications and BPO?

What is your component strategy with regards to raw material purchase commitments?

How are you thinking about the current cash balance and are there any plans to be more aggressive with share repurchases, given ongoing pressure on the stock price?

Have you exhausted your capital for stock buybacks this quarter?

Markets

Is the PC market hitting a worse case scenario of 5% decline? Expectations around a long-term market growth rate?

What datapoints are available to support management confidence that the current downturn is a short-term issue?

What is going to change substantially in terms of relative share on a go-forward basis to react to pricing pressure and potentially slowing growth?

Any signs of improvement in the public markets?

Is the tablet industry structurally shifting toward lower profitability?

Financial

What have been the major factors impacting gross margins?

What sort of margin pressure are you seeing on the PC business and specifically on the large enterprise side?

Why not give up some gross margin in order to preserve volume and avoid the descaling risk potential that is mounting?

Any radical action being contemplated to drastically improve margins, aside from the $2bn in cost savings mentioned?

How does cash flow and the cash conversion cycle ultimately change with the shift toward software and services and the move from client to enterprise?

Is sequential revenue growth guidance coming from normal seasonality in addition to Quest, or is there something else to be aware of?
