The information in this Item 2.02 and the Exhibit attached hereto shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933 or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On January 26, 2016, EMC announced that Zane C. Rowe will resign as EMC’s Chief Financial Officer and become the Chief Financial Officer of VMware, Inc. (“VMware”), effective March 1, 2016. A press release announcing Mr. Rowe’s resignation is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2 and incorporated by reference herein.

On January 26, 2016, EMC entered into a letter agreement with Mr. Rowe (the “Rowe Letter Agreement”). Pursuant to the Rowe Letter Agreement, Mr. Rowe’s outstanding EMC equity awards will continue to vest in accordance with their terms while he is employed at VMware; provided that if the merger (the “Merger”) between EMC and an affiliate of Dell Inc. (“Dell”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated October 12, 2015, by and among Denali Holding Inc., Dell, Universal Acquisition Co. and EMC (the “Merger Agreement”), becomes effective (such date, the “Closing”), such equity awards will vest in full immediately prior to the Closing. In addition, EMC will not seek repayment of Mr. Rowe’s sign-on bonus while he is employed with VMware and will assume the lease obligations for Mr. Rowe’s Boston apartment. Mr. Rowe’s Change in Control Severance Agreement will terminate at the end of his active employment with EMC. However, in the event his employment with VMware is involuntarily terminated without “cause” (as such term is defined under VMware’s Change in Control Retention Plan) or is terminated by him for “good reason” (consisting of one or more of the following conditions: (1) a material diminution of his authority, duties or responsibilities as Chief Financial Officer of VMware; (2) a material diminution of his base salary or target cash incentives at VMware; or (3) he no longer reports to the Chief Executive Officer of VMware) at any time before the earlier of (i) the 24-month anniversary of the Closing, and (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement, EMC will pay him a lump sum severance payment equal to $4,575,000. The foregoing description is qualified in all respects by reference to the Rowe Letter Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3 and incorporated by reference herein.

On January 26, 2016, EMC announced that Denis G. Cashman will succeed Mr. Rowe as EMC’s new Chief Financial Officer, effective March 1, 2016. It is expected that Mr. Cashman will continue in his role as EMC’s Chief Accounting Officer. A press release announcing Mr. Cashman’s appointment is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.4 and incorporated by reference herein.

Mr. Cashman, 55, has been Chief Financial Officer, EMC Information Infrastructure since February 2014 and Chief Accounting Officer of EMC since January 2011. Prior thereto, he was EMC’s Chief Operating Officer, Finance from January 2011 until February 2014, a Senior Vice President from October 2002 until January 2011 and Corporate Controller from March 2005 until January 2011. Mr. Cashman joined EMC in May 1988.

On January 26, 2016, EMC entered into a letter agreement with Mr. Cashman (the “Cashman Letter Agreement”). Pursuant to the Cashman Letter Agreement, Mr. Cashman will be eligible to receive a one-time cash bonus in the amount of $250,000, payable upon the earlier of (i) the Closing of the Merger and (ii) December 31, 2016, subject to his continued active employment with EMC on such payment date. The remainder of Mr. Cashman’s compensation for 2016 has not yet been determined by EMC’s Leadership and Compensation Committee. The foregoing description is qualified in all respects by reference to the Cashman Letter Agreement, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.5 and incorporated by reference herein.

Mr. Cashman is party to an Indemnification Agreement with EMC providing for the indemnification of, and the advancement of expenses to, Mr. Cashman to the fullest extent permitted by law in connection with the defense or disposition of any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or other proceeding in which he is involved by reason of his being an officer of EMC, subject to the terms and conditions provided in the Indemnification Agreement. The foregoing description is qualified in all respects by reference to the form of Indemnification Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.14 to EMC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed February 25, 2014.

Mr. Cashman is also party to a Change in Control Severance Agreement (the “CIC Agreement”) which generally provides severance benefits if there is both (i) a change in control (or potential change in control) of EMC and (ii) his employment is terminated by EMC (or any successor) without “cause” or if he terminates his employment for “good reason” within specified time periods. Pursuant to the Cashman Letter Agreement, for purposes of clause (A) of the definition of “good reason” under Section 16.16 of the CIC Agreement, the existence of good reason based upon Mr. Cashman’s Chief Financial Officer role or position following the Closing shall be determined based on a comparison to his role, position, duties and responsibilities, in effect as Chief Financial Officer, EMC Information Infrastructure, and not by reference to those in effect as EMC’s Chief Financial Officer. The foregoing description is qualified in all respects by reference to the form of Change in Control Severance Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.8 to EMC’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed February 24, 2012 and to the Cashman Letter Agreement, as applicable.

HOPKINTON, Mass. - January 27, 2016 - EMC Corporation (NYSE:EMC) today reported fourth-quarter and full-year 2015 financial results.

Fourth-quarter consolidated revenue was $7 billion, flat year over year (up 3% on a constant currency basis²). GAAP net income attributable to EMC was $771 million in the fourth quarter, and GAAP earnings per weighted average diluted share was $0.39 in the fourth quarter. Non-GAAP¹ net income attributable to EMC was $1.3 billion in the fourth quarter, and non-GAAP¹ earnings per weighted average diluted share in the fourth quarter was $0.65.

Full-year 2015 GAAP and non-GAAP³ revenue was $24.7 billion and $24.8 billion, respectively, up 1% year over year (up 5% on a constant currency basis²). GAAP net income attributable to EMC for 2015 was $2 billion, and GAAP earnings per weighted average diluted share was $1.01. Non-GAAP³ net income attributable to EMC for 2015 was $3.6 billion, and non-GAAP³ earnings per weighted average diluted share for 2015 was $1.82.

EMC generated $1.9 billion in operating cash flow and $1.5 billion in free cash flow⁴ in the fourth quarter, and ended the quarter with $14.8 billion in cash and investments. EMC returned approximately $229 million to shareholders via a quarterly dividend.

Joe Tucci, EMC Chairman and CEO, said, “The fourth quarter of 2015 follows 24 consecutive quarters of reported year-over-year top-line growth; an accomplishment very few of our peers have matched. 2015 brought geopolitical and other market-wide uncertainties, while secular technology trends continued to accelerate. EMC anticipated and focused on capturing the massive growth opportunity these trends will avail, and we are well equipped in 2016 with some of the most exciting technology advancements in our history.”

Tucci added, “Together, EMC and Dell will be better positioned in the market. We believe that the coming together of the companies is the best strategic option for all stakeholders. I’m pleased to report that progress on closing the transaction remains on track under the original terms and timeline.”

Zane Rowe, EMC CFO, said, “As we work toward closing the transaction with Dell to build one of the world’s premier IT powerhouses, we continue to focus on synergies and operating efficiencies across our business. Our previously announced $850 million cost reduction and business transformation plan is on track and the initial $50 million cost reduction target was met in Q4. We are confident that we will exceed our goal, thanks to our unified team’s effort and focus.”

David Goulden, CEO of EMC Information Infrastructure, said, “Customers are buying ‘just enough’ and ‘just in time’ for their traditional environments. They are also transforming existing IT systems toward a Hybrid Cloud or building and deploying new digital applications. In some cases they are doing it all simultaneously. Against this market backdrop, our storage business revenue grew 3% in constant currency for the full year. Looking forward, I am excited about our position in 2016 as we further expand our industry-leading Storage and Converged Infrastructure portfolio, which is built upon the architectural pillars of the modern data center - Flash, Scale-Out, Software Defined, Cloud Enabled and Trusted technologies.”

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

This release, the accompanying schedules and the additional content that is available on EMC's website contain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures, which are used as measures of EMC's performance or liquidity, should be considered in addition to, not as a substitute for, measures of EMC's financial performance or liquidity prepared in accordance with GAAP. EMC's non-GAAP financial measures may be defined differently from time to time and may be defined differently than similar terms used by other companies, and accordingly, care should be exercised in understanding how EMC defines its non-GAAP financial measures in this release.

Where specified in the accompanying schedules for various periods entitled "Reconciliation of GAAP to Non-GAAP," certain items noted on each such specific schedule (including, where noted, amounts relating to stock-based compensation expense, intangible asset amortization, restructuring charges, acquisition and other related charges, a gain on previously held interests in strategic investments and joint venture, an impairment of strategic investment, a fair value adjustment on assets held for sale, VMware litigation and other contingencies, VMware GSA settlement, the reversal of the benefit of the R&D tax credit included in the first three quarters of 2015, special tax items and merger-related costs) are excluded from the non-GAAP financial measures.

EMC’s management uses the non-GAAP financial measures in the accompanying schedules to gain an understanding of EMC's comparative operating performance (when comparing such results with previous periods or forecasts) and future prospects and includes the benefit of the R&D tax credit in, and excludes the above-listed items from, its internal financial statements for purposes of its internal budgets and each reporting segment’s financial goals. These non-GAAP financial measures are used by EMC's management in their financial and operating decision-making because management believes they reflect EMC's ongoing business in a manner that allows meaningful period-to-period comparisons. EMC's management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to investors and others (a) in understanding and evaluating EMC's current operating performance and future prospects in the same manner as management does, if they so choose, and (b) in comparing in a consistent manner the Company's current financial results with the Company's past financial results.

This release also includes disclosures regarding free cash flow which is a non-GAAP financial measure. Free cash flow is defined as net cash provided by operating activities less additions to property, plant and equipment and capitalized software development costs. EMC uses free cash flow, among other measures, to evaluate the ability of its operations to generate cash that is available for purposes other than capital expenditures and capitalized software development costs. Management believes that information regarding free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on the cash available to make strategic acquisitions and investments, repurchase shares, pay dividends, service debt and fund ongoing operations. As free cash flow is not a measure of liquidity calculated in accordance with GAAP, free cash flow should be considered in addition to, but not as a substitute for, the analysis provided in the statement of cash flows.

This release also refers to growth rates at constant currency or adjusting for currency so that business results can be viewed without the impact of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, thereby facilitating period-to-period comparisons of EMC's business performance. To present this information, current period results for entities reporting in currencies other than US dollars are converted into US dollars at the exchange rate applied in each month of the prior year quarter. Constant currency includes the impacts from EMC's hedging program.

All of the foregoing non-GAAP financial measures have limitations. Specifically, the non-GAAP financial measures that exclude the items noted above do not include all items of income and expense that affect EMC's operations. Further, these non-GAAP financial measures are not prepared in accordance with GAAP, may not be comparable to non-GAAP financial measures used by other companies and do not reflect any benefit that such items may confer on EMC. Management compensates for these limitations by also considering EMC's financial results as determined in accordance with GAAP.

1. During the period you are actively employed by EMC, you will continue to be covered under your current EMC compensation and benefit programs. EMC will prorate any 2016 cash incentives based on the term you are active with EMC, which will be funded and paid on the same basis as other participating executives, but in no event will payment be later than March 15, 2017.

2. Your outstanding EMC equity awards will continue to vest in accordance with the terms of the respective grant agreements while you are employed with VMware. If the merger between EMC and Dell Inc., et al. (“Dell”), pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger between EMC and Dell dated October 12, 2015 ( the “Merger Agreement”), becomes effective (such date, the “Closing”), then all your then-outstanding EMC equity awards shall vest in full immediately prior to the Closing.

3. While you are actively employed with VMware, you will not be deemed to have voluntarily terminated your EMC employment, and EMC will not seek repayment of the sign on bonus that you received from EMC.

4. EMC will assume the lease obligations for your Boston apartment. At your request, EMC will promptly arrange for the shipping of your personal belongings from Boston to your primary residence in California, but in no event later than December 31, 2016.

5. You acknowledge and agree that your EMC Change in Control Severance Agreement, dated October 1, 2014, will terminate upon the end of your active employment with EMC, and you will not be entitled to any payments or benefits under such agreement at any time. Your EMC KEA will survive for a period of 12 months following your transfer.

6. In the event your employment with VMware is involuntarily terminated without “cause” (as such term is defined under VMware’s Change in Control Retention Plan) or is terminated by you for “good reason,” consisting of one or more of the following conditions: (1) a material diminution of your authority, duties or responsibilities as Chief Financial Officer of VMware; (2) a material diminution of your base salary or target cash incentives at VMware; or (3) you no longer report to the Chief Executive Officer of VMware; at any time before the earlier of (i) the 24-month anniversary of the Closing, and (ii) the termination of the Merger Agreement, EMC agrees to pay you a lump sum severance payment equal to $4,575,000. “Good reason” shall not exist for purposes of this paragraph unless you have given VMware notice of the event or circumstance constituting “good reason” within fifteen days of its occurrence and VMware has failed to cure it within the fifteen day period following delivery of such notice.

The payment of severance set forth in this paragraph 6 is subject to your execution and non-revocation of EMC’s standard form of release in favor of EMC and its affiliates within 45 days of your employment termination from VMware (the “Release Deadline”). The severance to which you are entitled hereunder will be paid on the 8th day following the Release Deadline.

The severance from EMC set forth in this paragraph 6 will be reduced by the amount of severance payments which you are entitled to receive in connection with the termination of your employment under any plan, policy, arrangement or agreement with VMware or any other related entity.

7. All applicable taxes and authorized deductions shall be withheld from the above payments.

8. If any of the payments contemplated in this letter are considered “deferred compensation” subject to IRC Section 409A, such deferred compensation payments will be delayed to the extent necessary to avoid adverse tax consequences under IRC Section 409A.

Zane, with your acceptance noted below, we will move forward as outlined above. Should you have any questions, I am available to discuss at your convenience.

Sincerely,

/s/ Joseph M. Tucci
