Dell/EMC Announcement

1. What was announced on October 12, 2015?

EMC Corporation, Dell Inc. and its parent company, Denali Holding Inc., have signed a definitive agreement under which Denali will acquire EMC, with VMware remaining a publicly-traded company.

The combined company will be a leader in numerous high-growth areas of the $2 trillion information technology market, with a complementary portfolio, sales team and R&D organization across four globally recognized technology franchises – servers, storage, virtualization and PCs – and brings together strong capabilities in the fast growing areas of the industry, including converged infrastructure, digital transformation, software-defined data center, hybrid cloud, mobile and security.

2. Who is Denali Holding Inc.?

Denali Holding Inc. is the parent company of Dell Inc. and is controlled by Michael S. Dell (founder, chairman and chief executive officer of Dell), MSD Partners and Silver Lake Partners (a global leader in technology investing). Upon closing of the merger, EMC will be a wholly owned subsidiary of Denali Holding Inc.

3. How will we refer to the new broader combined company?

We will refer to the broader company as “our complementary and aligned family of businesses” which includes the Strategically Aligned businesses described in question 55 below as well as the fully owned businesses or business units.

Dell & EMC Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 3.0

(posted March 30, 2016)

4. Will EMC be “privately owned” or “privately controlled”?

EMC will be “privately controlled” because of Michael Dell and Silver Lake Partner’s control of Denali, but not “privately owned” because the tracking stock issued by Dell’s holding company Denali in the transaction will be common stock of Denali and will be publicly traded. Denali will apply for listing of the tracking stock on the NYSE under the symbol “DVMT.”

5. Since the October 12 announcement, the stock market has dipped. What is the likely impact of this on the deal?

This has been a very unpredictable and volatile start to the year. Everyone in the industry is being impacted. We have a binding, solid merger agreement. We have already started our regulatory filings. In addition we have started working on the necessary regulatory approvals around the globe. All parties are committed to the deal. We are highly confident in the contractual terms we have in place and that we will meet those terms. Importantly, when you look at EMC’s performance, particularly in comparison to our peer group, we are doing really well.

6. Will the stock market decline impact the $24.05 cash payout and tracking stock value?

The amount of cash ($24.05) EMC shareholders will get for each share is a fixed amount and will not be impacted by EMC share price fluctuations. The variable part is the amount the tracking stock will be worth. While we know the tracking stock is initially intended to track a portion of Denali’s economic interest in VMware, similar to a startup going public, the value of its stock is determined by the market after if begins trading.

7. What are we saying about financing “headwinds” being reported?

The debt financing is fully committed and is being underwritten by many of the leading global banks. The process of syndicating and placing the debt for a transaction of this nature frequently encompasses a time period of several months from start to finish. That process currently is underway and remains on track, as planned.

8. How much debt will Denali be taking on in connection with the transaction? Will Dell rely on dividends from VMware or use any of VMware’s cash flows and debt capacity to repay the debt in connection with the transaction??

Denali has obtained committed equity financing for up to $4.25 billion in the aggregate and debt financing commitments for up to $49.5 billion in the aggregate. Denali believes the transaction will have a neutral to positive impact on Dell’s current corporate credit ratings. Denali has stated that the combined company will focus on reducing its aggregate debt during the first 18-24 months after completion of the transaction and on seeking to achieve an investment grade

credit rating. Currently VMware does not pay any dividends on its common stock and any decisions regarding dividends on the VMware common stock would be a decision of VMware’s board of directors.

9. How does EMC’s and VMware’s stock price impact whether the deal closes?

During the Dell annual sales kickoff meeting in early February, Michael Dell made the following statement, which was filed with the SEC and covered by media: “We’re absolutely moving forward with the transaction under the original timeline, the original terms, at full steam ahead. And it’s not contingent on the share price of EMC or VMware.”

10. How much can we do with Dell until the transaction is closed?

Until the transaction closes, we must continue to run our business with the same dedication and commitment that we show today. Do not reach out to your Dell counterparts unless in the ordinary course of business. One example of “ordinary course of business” activity is the recent (Feb 1, 2016) update to our existing partner agreement from the mid-2000’s. Under the agreement, Dell is able to resell VMAX and associated software. For more details about the reseller agreement see question 76.

11. Whose fiscal year will we use?

EMC will adopt Dell’s fiscal calendar; however, there will be no change to fiscal year calendars in 2016.

12. Do we continue with our business transformation efforts?

Yes. We are still proceeding with the Business Transformation Program and cost savings we had planned. We’re committed to these and the program will continue. For more information check the Business Transformation space on InsideEMC.

Transaction Rationale and Impact

13. Why? Why Dell? And why now?

The transaction strengthens the position of both Dell and EMC in an increasingly competitive global marketplace. Both companies have market-leading portfolios in their respective segments, and the transaction unites Dell’s server franchises and go-to-market strength in the mid-market with EMC’s storage and CI franchises and go-to-market strength in the large enterprise market. As the infrastructure market moves to a compute-centric/converged model, Dell is a natural fit with EMC.

We believe that the combined go-to-market capabilities and reach of Dell and EMC will also benefit VMware. The transaction brings together companies that have a demonstrated ability to win in fast-changing markets. The combined company will leverage the top talent and best practices from both Dell and EMC.

As a privately-controlled company, Dell’s structure provides it with the flexibility and agility to focus on customers and invest and innovate for long-term results, and the ability to incubate high-growth businesses in promising markets.

14. How will the new combined business position us for success?

The combined business will be incredibly well-positioned for growth in the most strategic areas of next generation IT including digital transformation, software-defined data center, converged infrastructure, cloud, mobile and security. We have a solid foundation to build upon that features two of the world’s greatest technology companies with leadership positions in Servers, Storage, Virtualization and PCs.

The combination of Dell and EMC, along with their Strategically-Aligned businesses will result in a technology powerhouse that will deliver world-class products and solutions to customers and partners. This complementary and aligned family of businesses will drive innovation, customer choice and the ability to attract and retain world-class talent.

The coming together of Dell and EMC will create a business with approximately $80 billion in revenue. Dell and EMC have demonstrated abilities to win in fast-changing markets. The combined business is expected to possess unmatched scale, strength and flexibility to help customers achieve their goals, supported by deep investments in R&D and innovation and a privately controlled ownership structure.

15. What will happen to the unique EMC culture?

EMC and Dell place a high priority on culture and are working collaboratively to define the culture for the combined company. External advisors assisting with the integration have commented that such a strong emphasis on culture is rare. Both companies share a goal to

4

Dell & EMC Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 3.0

(posted March 30, 2016)

create a unique culture that will reflect the best attributes of both organizations. To do this, both Dell and EMC employees have participated in culture surveys to identify the qualities and behaviors that are most important. The results of the EMC and Dell surveys will be combined and the data will help us understand our similarities and differences so we can build the unique culture of the new organization. These surveys will be complemented by a series of EMC “MyVoice Listen & Learns” to encourage additional dialogue and discussion.

16. Where do you see the cultural synergies or differences? How do our cultures differ?

We have worked with Dell for a long time. We both like to win and have a strong desire to lean into change in the marketplace. Our customers tend to see EMC as a high-touch, high-value culture, while the appeal of Dell is in the midmarket and SMB space, where customers put a higher premium on transaction convenience. We’ll aim to preserve the best of each for the respective segments we serve, but we’ll be in alignment more often than not. Like EMC, our Dell counterparts are passionate about their company and their business, with a strong focus on customers. They love what they do, measure their successes, and talk about where they can improve. And like us at EMC, they like to have fun.

17. What will happen to the EMC brand and other Federation brands?

It is clear there’s substantial value within the respective brands. Brand research is underway to determine the best way forward for the various brands across the business. You can expect to hear about the new branding at close.

18. How does this business combination benefit customers? And what is our shared vision of the future we will create together?

We are in an era of unprecedented change driven by technology. Customers are turning to fewer strategic vendors to help them digitally transform their businesses and re-architect their IT environments to take advantage of the efficiency and agility that hybrid clouds bring.

The combination of Dell and EMC enables us to address more of our customers’ needs – with one of the largest innovation and go-to-market engines in the technology industry. Specifically, the server business within Dell is highly complementary to EMC’s strength in storage. Given that the future of infrastructure clearly is heading towards a converged or hyper-converged model, this is hugely beneficial to our customers.

Layering VMware’s software-defined data center on top of Dell and EMC’s converged infrastructure provides customers with a ‘best-of-breed’ stack. This can be offered as-a-service through Virtustream and also can be delivered underneath Pivotal’s next-generation application development platform. Finally, security assets from Dell and RSA enable us to further extend our ‘trust’ value proposition to the customer – critical in cloud environments.

Dell & EMC Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 3.0

(posted March 30, 2016)

To quantify our combined value, consider this: EMC and Dell are positioned as a “Leader” in 22 Gartner magic quadrants.

19. How does Denali’s privately-controlled model help our business?

Denali’s privately-controlled ownership structure will give EMC the same flexibility enjoyed by Dell to focus on customers, invest for long-term results, and incubate our most promising high-growth businesses, enabling further innovation and customer choice, while increasing our ability to attract and retain world-class talent.

20. Is this a victory for shareholder activists?

We believe this transaction is good for all shareholders. Under the terms of the agreement, EMC shareholders will receive $24.05 per share in cash in addition to tracking stock initially intended to track a portion of Denali’s economic interest in the VMware business.

21. Are we now two commodity businesses in mature, consolidating, shrinking market segments?

Certainly there are parts of our businesses that are in maturing market segments. However, there are other parts that are in disruptive, high-growth market segments. That’s the value of our portfolio.

We believe that investments we’ve made in emerging businesses are more than capable of offsetting the decline in mature businesses. EMC has previously stated that long-term investments in XtremIO, DSSD, Airwatch, NSX, VCE, Virtustream and Pivotal either already have become, or are expected to become, billion dollar businesses.

The advantage of being privately controlled while we effect these portfolio transitions is huge. As a privately-controlled company, the new structure will provide the flexibility and agility to focus on innovation for long-term results and incubation of high-growth businesses in the most promising markets. Additionally, Michael Dell’s and Silver Lake Partners’ confidence in our opportunity is part of what attracted these investors to this transaction, and their track record of growing successful businesses is impressive.

22. What are customers saying?

According to an independent report by ESG (November 2015) of mid-market and enterprise customers of Dell, EMC, or both:

• 92% of all respondents believe that a Dell/EMC combination would benefit (75%) — or have no impact on (17%) — their organizations

• 92% of respondents would increase (60%) or not change (32%) their spending levels with the combined company

• 65% of respondents believe that a Dell/EMC combination will provide more complete and innovative technology solutions

Dell & EMC Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 3.0

(posted March 30, 2016)

23. What do non-customers (potential prospects) think?

In late January, ESG published their independent research of what organizations that do not yet purchase from EMC or Dell think about the pending combination. According to ESG’s research, “half of these organizations expect to work with the combined EMC/Dell over the next 3 years” to help them achieve their business goals and “only 9% completely dismissed the notion of working with a combined Dell-EMC.”

Per ESG, “That’s a weird set of statistics in that I’d expect most non-customers to expect to stick to what they were already doing — but the data says that people think the combined Dell/EMC has some incremental new value.”

The same non-customers of EMC and Dell were also asked to itemize the benefits that a combined EMC/Dell entity would provide their organization that would most likely prompt a replacement of their existing IT supplier. The most commonly cited response was technology innovation. The next two most-commonly cited responses were volume discount pricing and end-to-end service and support.

24. What does this transaction mean for partners?

We value all of our partner relationships, and each business remains committed to investing in — and strengthening — our respective partner ecosystems.

25. What Quality of Service guarantees can we communicate to customers?

We remain committed to quality of service our customers have grown to expect from EMC and are committed to the contractual obligations we have agreed with customers. Since the announcement, we have sent our customers and partners EMC’s commitments which you can read here.

26. What commitments have we made to customers after the announcement?

EMC will sustain our absolute focus on our valued customers, to power their IT transformation initiatives by:

• Delivering the high quality customer experience you expect from EMC, including our customary commitment to support all current products as we always have

• Extending our technology leadership through investment in R&D, including enhancing existing products and roadmaps

• Preserving our dedication to customer choice (free of lock-in)

• Continuing to enhance our partnerships & technology ecosystems

• Listening to customer feedback and communicating updates to you clearly — and often.

27. What commitments have we made to partners after the announcement?

EMC will sustain our absolute focus on our valued partners by:

• Remaining committed to our partner ecosystem and programs

• Extending our technology leadership through investment in R&D, including enhancing existing products and roadmaps

• Preserving our dedication to customer choice (free of lock-in)

• Continuing to enhance our partnerships & technology ecosystems

• Listening to customer feedback and communicating updates to you clearly — and often.

28. Dell invested relatively little in R&D. Will Dell’s debt limit R&D investment?

After Dell was taken private, Dell’s R&D investment increased. Denali’s privately-controlled ownership structure will give EMC the same flexibility enjoyed by Dell, to focus 100% on customers and invest for long-term results by incubating our most promising high-growth businesses, enabling further innovation and customer choice.

Going private is expected to eliminate approximately $3.5 billion of stock repurchases and dividends EMC has averaged annually over the last three years. These savings are greater than the outlay to service Dell’s debt, creating more opportunity to invest in the business rather than less.

Under Dell’s privately-controlled structure, the combined company will have more freedom to innovate and invest for long-term leadership in rapidly growing market segments including digital transformation, SDDC, hybrid cloud, CI, mobile and security.

Deal Process Timing

29. Is the deal on schedule?

Yes. The merger is on schedule under the original timetable and terms. Thus far we have received antitrust clearance from several required jurisdictions and are working to finalize the proxy statement and set the date for a Special Meeting of EMC shareholders, expected to be later in the Spring.

30. Which jurisdictions have provided antitrust clearance?

As of March 10, 2016, approval or clearance of the merger has been received in the United States, European Union, Australia, Canada, Israel, Japan, South Africa, Switzerland and Turkey. Remaining jurisdictions include Brazil, China, India, Mexico, Russia, South Korea and Taiwan.

31. When will the shareholder vote be?

A date has not been set yet, but we are expecting the vote to take place in the Spring. All shareholders will be notified by mail when the date of the vote has been set.

32. What’s the timeline for integration planning?

It has been fully underway since November 2015. There are a number of aspects we need to get ready for day one, but the full integration is expected to be a two year process. Until the transaction closes, EMC and Dell must continue to operate their businesses separately.

33. Why are some things being implemented at the close of the deal, while other things are not being executed until the new fiscal year, 2017?

Some things need to be taken more slowly, to create robust plans that have time to be executed with excellence, while not creating confusion for us or our customers.

So, all of you here in Austin, as part of our ESG business, incredibly important….we’re not asking you to move anywhere. We want you to stay right here and continue to innovate and do great work. EMC has a fantastic hub in the Boston area. Both of us combined have a big innovation hub in the Silicon Valley area, of course, that is where VMware is headquartered.”

Dell & EMC Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 3.0

(posted March 30, 2016)

41. Why did we announce the leadership for the new company now and what is the effective date?

This new organizational structure will be effective immediately following the completion of the transaction, and we will update you as more decisions are made. We’ve announced Michael’s direct leadership team early in the process so we can fast-track our planning of the integration. However, while many changes will happen at or around the close (for example, a new company brand), in many cases, changes won’t take effect until the start of Dell’s fiscal year 2017. In particular, we don’t expect many changes in our Go-To-Market functions to start until our next fiscal year in 2017.

42. Why are some things being implemented at the close of the deal, while other things are not being executed until the new fiscal year, 2017?

Some things need to be taken more slowly, to create robust plans that have time to be executed with excellence, while not creating confusion for us or our customers.

43. Will Jeremy Burton cover marketing for Dell’s consumer business, too? Does that mean EMC II Global Marketing gets merged with Dell’s marketing organization?

Jeremy will be responsible for brand, events, marketing analytics, digital and communications for the new company. The full scope of how the marketing organization will be organized is still to be decided but a structure will be designed that makes the best business sense for all. Within this new structure, we expect there will be marketing within the business units as well as at the company-wide level.

44. What does the March 1 announcement mean for EMC’s current head of HR, Legal and Finance?

All of the announced changes will not take place until after the deal is closed. Until that time, the current heads of functions will continue to lead their organizations. Each organization leader named above, or L2, will work with their respective counterpart and the HR business partners to determine the organizational capability and capacity needed as well as the roles, skills and attributes required, organization design, talent pool assessment and, ultimately, talent selections for their organizations. The integration team leaders have been collecting information and data to help support and inform the organization design and decisions.

45. What about the organizations that are not mentioned in the March 1 announcement like IT & EMC Global Services?

There are still critical decisions to be made about a number of important pieces of our new company and some of that work is still ongoing. This announcement is not inclusive of all functions and we will update you as soon as practical and as decisions are made.

46. In the March 1 announcement, Dell and EMC announced that reporting to David Goulden as part of the Enterprise Systems Group will be Virtustream, RSA and ECD. What does that mean for other product groups not mentioned?

There are still critical decisions to be made about a number of important pieces of our new company and some of that work is still ongoing. This announcement is not inclusive of all functions and we will update you as soon as practical and as decisions are made. However, the Core Technology and Emerging Technology divisions will roll up under the Enterprise Systems Group.

47. What is the definition of an L2 and L3?

An L2 is a leader that reports directly to Michael Dell. L3s are direct reports to L2s.

48. My L2 leader was not selected for an L2 role in the new company. What does that mean for my position?

The announced changes will not take place until after the deal is closed. So at this time, Dell and EMC will continue to operate as separate companies and your role remains the same.

49. When will L3s be announced?

Timing for announcing the L3 leaders (direct reports to the L2 leaders) will be set shortly and we will share with you our approach and process at that time.

50. What is the process for selecting L3s?

Each L2 organization leader will work with his or her respective counterpart and the HR business partner to determine the organizational capability and capacity needed as well as the roles, skills and attributes required, organization design, L3 talent pool assessment and, ultimately, L3 selections. The integration team leaders have been collecting information and data to help support and inform the organization design and decisions. The current management teams of both Dell and EMC have been working closely with HR to ensure that an objective and fair process is implemented for the talent selection process.

EMC II and Federation Entities

53. How will the new Dell/EMC combined company and Strategically Aligned businesses work together?

Michael Dell is establishing an executive group, which will include the presidents of our business units and go-to-market organizations, plus: Pat Gelsinger, CEO, VMware; Mike Cote, President and CEO, SecureWorks; Rob Mee, CEO, Pivotal; and Rodney Rogers, CEO, Virtustream. This group will collaborate on innovative and differentiated solutions, optimize our operations to increase the speed and agility with which we serve our customers and find ways to work together more efficiently and effectively as an organization. The new organization will take effect immediately following the completion of the transaction. Until then, all reporting structures remain as they are.

54. How will we refer to the new broader combined company?

We will refer to the broader company as “our complementary and aligned family of businesses” which includes the Strategically Aligned businesses as well as the fully owned businesses or business units.

55. What is a Strategically Aligned business? Does this mean the Federation is no longer the descriptor?

We will no longer use the Federation as a descriptor. The new term will be Strategically Aligned business which refers to Pivotal, SecureWorks, and VMware. The definition is any stand-alone business which is already publicly traded, will be publicly traded or has outside investors.

EMC II

56. How does this impact ECD?

ECD continues to be an important business and is doing well. As announced in February 2016 by Dell and EMC, ECD President Rohit Ghai will report to David Goulden as part of the Enterprise Systems Group. The new organization will take effect immediately following the completion of the transaction. Until then, all reporting structures remain as they are.

57. How does this impact RSA?

RSA continues to be an important business and doing well. As announced in February 2016 by Dell and EMC, RSA President Amit Yoran will report to David Goulden as part of the Enterprise Systems Group. The new organization will take effect immediately following the completion of the transaction. Until then, all reporting structures remain as they are.

We expect Dell’s strength in managed security services and its security offerings in network, endpoint and email security, combined with RSA’s focus on Identity, Security Analytics and GRC, to create a top 5 Security player across SMB and Enterprise customers.

59. How does this affect VCE and its customers?

VCE, EMC’s converged platforms division, and the converged infrastructure marketplace continue to be a key strategic focus for EMC. For now, there will be no change in our business strategy. We know our strategy is the right one and the Rack & Appliance “engines” are crucial to augment our Vblock business and beat point product competitors in the race to help our customers drive Data Center and Cloud scale transformation. Once the transaction closes, we will be able to commence collaboration efforts within Dell to evolve our strategy. The Dell relationship will broaden the opportunity for CI.

60. How will this impact VCE’s relationship with Cisco?

VCE is a very important part of the new combined company, and we remain committed to working with Cisco to ensure that we continue to deliver the industry’s best CI customer experience that enables growth and success. Cisco remains a very important partner, and we look forward to working together in the CI and networking space. We will continue to invest in the Vblock platform based on Cisco UCS server, Nexus networking and ACI technology. We also remain committed to utilizing Cisco networking and the ACI architecture throughout the VCE offering portfolio.

61. How are we addressing customer questions about the future of VCE?

David Goulden and Chuck Robbins of Cisco have confirmed Cisco, EMC and VMware’s long-term commitment to VCE and Vblock for VCE customers. Michael Dell wrote to VCE customers in an open letter making it clear that our relationship with Cisco and our investment in VCE technology will continue. After joining with Dell, VCE’s close working relationship with Cisco will continue. VBlock will continue to follow Cisco’s compute and networking roadmaps and EMC’s storage roadmaps to bring the latest technologies to VCE customers.

VMware

63. After close, how will VMware fit within the new complementary and aligned family of businesses?

Go-To-Market (Customers and Partners)

69. How do you see go-to-market coming together?

After the acquisition closes, the newly combined business will focus on three primary market segments: Enterprise, Commercial and Consumer & Small Business. We are currently determining which accounts and people align to each go-to-market segment and organization. The go-to-market dividing lines and account coverage plans will not be implemented until the new fiscal year 2017, so nothing will change until then.

70. Who will lead the three global go-to-market organizations of Enterprise, Commercial and Consumer & Small Business in the new combined company?

Bill Scannell, Marius Haas and Jeff Clarke will lead our three global go-to-market organizations: Enterprise, Commercial and Consumer & Small Business. The new organization will take effect immediately following the completion of the transaction. Until then, all reporting structures remain as they are.

71. Why were these three go-to-market segments selected for the new business?

This segmentation approach preserves the best of the EMC and Dell sales motions and will drive clear accountability for results, enable more decision-making closer to our customers, and allow faster feedback between customers, sales and product teams.

72. What will be the exact dividing lines between one go-to-market organization and another? Where does one end and the other start, and will there be any overlap?

Bill Scannell, Marius Haas and Jeff Clarke will be working together over the next few months to determine which accounts and people align to each go-to-market organization. The go-to-market dividing lines and account coverage plans will not be executed until the new fiscal year, beginning in Feb 2017, so nothing will change here for a while.

73. Are there any changes in how we support our customers between now and close?

EMC and Dell continue to be two separate companies, with our individual product strategies and commitments in place, and must operate as such. EMC remains committed to innovation and our current roadmap for our products.

(posted March 30, 2016)

74. There is a new Partner Reseller Agreement with Dell for VMAX. What are the details?

Leveraging EMC’s existing partner agreement with Dell that dates back to the mid-2000’s, Dell began reselling VMAX and associated software beginning February 1, 2016. Dell will not resell into accounts where EMC “owns” the footprint. We are partnering with Dell to leverage new opportunities, such as accounts where Dell has a large server/storage presence and EMC may not, or accounts where neither company is strong, yet Dell finds and registers the opportunity for incremental capacity or competitive displacements. Dell will register their opportunities with EMC like any other Business Partner.

75. If a Dell rep approached a partner to work together about a customer who wants to purchase a VMAX from Dell, how should the process work? Does the Dell rep get compensated and quota credit for an incremental deal that flows through the channel?

Dell would register the deal with EMC; EMC would provide a quote to Dell; Dell would then quote a price to the partner. If this process is followed, the Dell team can retire quota for the deal.

76. Customers are asking us to set up meetings to take Dell into their accounts. What’s the guidance from legal?

It is okay to work with your Dell counterparts on a VMAX resell transaction, as you would with any other Business Partner. But we are still prohibited from selling together until the acquisition closes.

77. Partners are not mentioned in the Dell/EMC March 1 announcement? What will happen to Partner programs?

Partner programs will be a critical success factor in the new combined company. The VCIO and the executive teams are continuing the planning process, and decisions will be made and communicated in the coming months.

Global Services

78. Global Services at EMC and Dell are not mentioned in Michael Dell’s organization announcement. Does this mean that Services are not important?

Services, both EMC Global Services and Dell Global Support & Deployment Services, will be a key differentiator in the value that the combined business will bring to customers and will be critical to our success. The VCIO and the executive teams are continuing the planning process, and Services will absolutely play an important role.

79. Suresh Vaswani was announced as the leader of Dell Services, does this mean he will also lead EMC Services?

No, Suresh Vaswani will continue to lead the existing Dell Services organization only.

80. Howard Elias is listed in Michael Dell’s announcement as “co-Chief Integration Officer.” Does this mean that he will not be leading Services?

All of the announced changes will not take place until after the deal is closed. Until that time, Howard Elias will continue to lead GES and the integration efforts for the VCIO.

81. When will the Services leadership and structure be announced?

The VCIO and the executive teams are continuing the planning process to optimize the organization, and Services will absolutely play an important role. We will share more information as it becomes available.

82. Will there be a single Services organization in the combined companies, or will there be separate Services functions for Dell and EMC customers?

The integration team is still finalizing decisions about the Services organizational structure, but the value and importance Services will have for the combined company is well recognized.

83. What about the IT organization? Will it be a single IT organization for the entire company? Where will it fit within the organization?

The VCIO and the executive teams are continuing the planning process to optimize the organization. We will share more information as it becomes available.

How Does This Impact Me?

84. Will EMC employees have the opportunity to interview for jobs at Dell? If so, how can we learn about opportunities?

Until the close, EMC and Dell will continue to operate independently, managing our respective talent and recruiting organizations as we do today. Following the close of the transaction, we plan to make new job openings transparent to all employees.

85. Will the transaction closing result in multiple W2s in 2016? For example, will employees receive one for EMC and one for Dell? Will we have to restart FICA withholdings?

EMC employees will continue to be paid by an EMC legal entity in 2016. The closing of the transaction will not result in an employee receiving two W-2s, nor will an employee have to restart his or her FICA withholdings.

86. What happens to my EMC Key Employee Agreement (KEA) or equivalent agreement internationally? Does it remain in effect?

The EMC KEA or equivalent agreements continue in effect. At close employees will not be asked to sign new agreements.

Compensation

87. Will I remain on EMC’s current compensation programs until close? What will happen after the close?

EMC employees will continue on EMC compensation programs until close. For the 12-month period following the close, Dell has made a commitment to provide employees with annual base salaries and target cash incentive compensation opportunities that are no less favorable than those provided immediately prior to the closing.

Dell & EMC Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 3.0

(posted March 30, 2016)

88. Specific to the U.S., what will happen to the Deferred Compensation Retirement Plan (DCRP) due to the merger?

There are currently no plans to change the DCRP prior to the close of the Dell transaction. Distributions will follow participant payment elections. For example, if a participant elected payment on a change in control, payment will generally be made in a single lump sum thirty (30) days following the deal closing.

89. Will we be having the EMC Annual Compensation Review (ACR) and Annual Equity Program (AEP) in 2016?

Yes, it is currently our plan to have both programs. We will provide further information once all the details are finalized.

Equity (Stock)

90. What will happen to my Restricted Stock Unit Awards (RSUs)?

RSUs represent the contractual right to receive actual shares of EMC common stock at a predetermined date. When RSUs vest, the employee receives shares of EMC common stock, and the employee is generally then able to sell them.

Most RSUs will vest immediately prior to the time the transaction closes. Each share of EMC common stock received (after shares are netted out to cover applicable tax withholdings) will be exchanged for $24.05 in cash and approximately 0.111 shares of tracking stock.

Certain RSU awards granted after October 12, 2015 will convert to something called “restricted cash” at the time the transaction closes. Employees with these awards have already been notified and given information regarding their treatment in the transaction.

24

Dell & EMC Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 3.0

(posted March 30, 2016)

91. Will we be told before any action is taken on the RSUs or will this be up to the employee to take action? Is there a date assigned to this?

The RSUs will vest and any minimum required tax withholding will be satisfied by netting out shares of EMC common stock equal in value to such minimum required tax withholding. The resulting net number of shares of EMC common stock will be exchanged for the merger consideration (cash and tracking stock) at closing without any action required on the part of the RSU holder.

92. What exactly is ‘tracking stock?’

The tracking stock will be a new Class V Common Stock issued by Denali Holding Inc. After the transaction closes, Denali Holding Inc. will be the parent company of Dell and the legal entity that will own EMC. As the parent company, Denali will indirectly own EMC’s existing stake in VMware. The tracking stock is initially intended to track a portion of Denali’s economic interest in the VMware business following the completion of the transaction.

93. Does the market price of EMC common stock and VMware common stock impact the amount of cash and tracking stock that EMC shareholders will receive upon close of the deal?

For EMC shareholders. No, the amount of $24.05 in cash per share of EMC common stock and number of shares of tracking stock to be received by EMC shareholders are not subject to change as a result of the market price of EMC or VMware common stock.

For EMC equity award holders. The closing price of EMC common stock on the last trading day before the merger is completed will impact the taxable compensation that equity award holders may be entitled to upon exercise/vesting, and accordingly, may impact the amount of cash and tracking stock the equity award holder will receive, net of taxes and exercise price (as applicable).

94. Could you clarify how vested but unexercised EMC stock options (different from restricted stock units) will be handled? Do the options need to be exercised first? Will options be lost if not exercised at close?

Stock options are different from restricted stock units. Where RSUs simply convert into EMC shares, a stock option is a contractual right to “buy” EMC stock at a certain price. Most EMC employees do not have stock options.

Prior to the time the transaction closes, any unvested options to acquire EMC common stock will vest and become exercisable, meaning the employee can exercise them to purchase EMC common stock. However, if the option holder does not exercise his or her stock options prior to the transaction closing, the options will be exercised automatically immediately prior to the closing in what’s referred to as a ‘cashless’ transaction, meaning no funds from the employee are required.

25

Dell & EMC Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 3.0

(posted March 30, 2016)

The net number of shares of EMC common stock that option holders are entitled to receive after this automatic exercise (i.e., after shares have been netted out to cover both the exercise price and the minimum required tax withholding) will be exchanged for $24.05 in cash and approximately 0.111 shares of tracking stock.

95. When can employees exercise stock options?

Employees are able to exercise their vested stock options any time prior to the deal closing. All of the current rules and regulations apply, including the trading window and being on a restricted list, as well as rules pertaining to insider information, etc.

96. What happens to EMC stock options that are ‘underwater’ (i.e., the exercise price is greater than the market price) at time of close?

If the exercise price of any outstanding option immediately prior to the deal closing equals or exceeds EMC’s closing stock price on the last trading day prior to the deal close, such options will terminate as of the deal close and will not receive consideration in the merger.

97. If I have purchased stock after the announcement of the EMC-Dell agreement on October 12, 2015, will I get the cash and tracking stock announced at the time of the deal close? Or, did I need to have those shares in hand prior to October 12?

All outstanding shares of EMC common stock will be exchanged for the merger consideration (cash and tracking stock), regardless of when the EMC common stock was purchased.

98. May I defer payment of the cash and tracking stock that I receive for my accelerated EMC Restricted Stock Units or net exercised EMC Stock Options?

No, deferring payment is not possible.

99. Will we still be able to participate in Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP) and for how long?

The ESPP program ended following the January 31, 2016 employee purchase of shares. There will be no ESPP program equivalent on or after February 1, 2016.

100. May I buy or sell EMC shares now?

Yes, you may buy or sell EMC shares. However, all of the current rules and regulations still apply, including the trading window and being on a restricted list, as well as rules pertaining to insider information, etc.

26

Dell & EMC Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 3.0

(posted March 30, 2016)

101. How do I know if I should sell my stock before the deal closes?

EMC makes no recommendation regarding the purchase or sale of shares. Please consult your financial advisor.

102. Will VMware or Pivotal stock awards or options accelerate as part of the EMC-Dell merger?

No. Any stock awards or options issued by VMWare or Pivotal will continue to vest in accordance with the terms and provisions of the applicable stock plans and equity award agreements.

103. If my job is eliminated prior to the deal close, am I entitled to receive acceleration and merger consideration for any EMC restricted stock units or stock options that I am holding?

Generally, if your job is eliminated under the Involuntary Separation Program Restructure before closing, you will be eligible for vesting of unvested EMC equity granted before October 12, 2015 subject to your (i) executing a Separation Agreement and Release in the form approved by EMC, and (ii) your compliance with the terms and conditions of the Separation Agreement and Release.

104. What will happen to EMC’s stock following close of the transaction?

EMC stock will no longer exist after the close of the transaction.

105. Where can I find further information about the VMware tracking stock?

Questions and answers regarding the tracking stock and other terms of the transaction can be found in Denali’s Registration Statement on Form S-4 that includes a preliminary proxy statement/prospectus regarding the proposed transaction. See “Additional Information and Where to Find It” at the end of this document.

106. Specific to the U.S., how can I determine which tax rates might apply to my EMC common stock and my EMC restricted stock units when the deal closes and is there any option to shelter any of this income or distribution?

First, it is important to start by stating that EMC in no way provides tax or financial planning advice to its employees. We do; however, provide employees with access to information to obtain answers to these types of questions and to provide guidance – your UBS stock account is a great place to start. That said, we can answer some of the basic questions reflecting U.S. practices:

Tax treatment upon vesting of restricted stock units: Upon vesting, the realized value of the stock (determined by the number of shares vested multiplied by the closing share price on date of vest) is treated as ordinary income and is taxable to you in the same manner as if you had received a cash bonus. EMC withholds a portion of the vested shares necessary to fund the required tax withholding (federal, state, local). An “Advice of Vesting” report is available on your UBS website which details the value realized upon vesting, total taxes, and shares withheld to fund taxes. This information is available under the “Statements and Reports” tab on your UBS homepage.

27

Dell & EMC Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) 3.0

(posted March 30, 2016)

Tax treatment of sale of vested shares: The sale of vested shares may be subject to either short-term (held for one year or less) or long-term (held for greater than one year) capital gains/loss treatment based on the time that the shares have been held since vesting. The basis of the shares is the closing share price on the date of vest which can be obtained from your UBS records.

For more detailed information, please refer to the “2015 Tax Filing Guide” on the UBS website

Immigration

119. What is the impact to my immigration status given the announcement of the Dell/EMC merger?

EMC will continue to process all visa petitions as usual and will be communicating with all foreign nationals prior to close. The impact to individuals’ immigration processing will be limited and EMC does not anticipate any gaps in work authorization as a result of the merger.

The following talking points were provided to certain employees of the Company.

Dell & EMC External Talking Points

(posted March 30, 2016)

Dell-EMC Combination Highlights

• Michael S. Dell, MSD Partners and Silver Lake are leading a transaction to combine Dell and EMC, creating the world’s largest privately-controlled, integrated technology company. As part of the transaction, VMware will remain a publicly-traded company.

• Following completion of the transaction, Michael Dell will lead the combined company as chairman and chief executive officer. Joe Tucci will continue as chairman and chief executive officer of EMC until the transaction closes.

• This transaction will create an approximately $80 billion leader in the extremely attractive high-growth areas of the $2 trillion information technology market and will be exceptionally well-positioned for growth in the most strategic areas of next-generation IT including digital transformation, software-defined data center, converged infrastructure, hybrid cloud, mobile and security.

• Dell’s privately-controlled ownership structure will give EMC the same flexibility enjoyed by Dell, to focus 100% on customers and invest for long-term results by incubating our most promising high-growth businesses, enabling further innovation and customer choice, and increasing our ability to attract and retain world-class talent.

• Going private is expected to eliminate approximately $3.5 billion of stock repurchases and dividends EMC has averaged annually over the last three years. These savings are greater than the outlay to service Dell’s debt, creating more opportunity to invest in the business rather than less.

• Each share of EMC common stock will be exchanged for $24.05 in cash and approximately 0.111 shares of the tracking stock. If you own, for example, 100 shares of EMC common stock at the time the transaction closes, you will be entitled to $2,405 in cash (or $24.05 X 100 shares) and approximately 11.1 shares of tracking stock (or .111 X 100 shares).

• Dell’s headquarters will remain in Austin, Texas with the headquarters of the Enterprise Systems business of the combined company in Hopkinton, Massachusetts. The Enterprise Systems business is expected to be over $30 billion in size.

• The new company will bring together Dell and EMC’s respective strong capabilities and complementary portfolios, sales teams and R&D. Plus Dell’s strength with small business and mid-market customers and EMC’s strength with large enterprises is expected to fuel profitable growth and generate significant cash flows across a wider market.

• After the acquisition closes, the newly combined business will focus on three primary market segments: Enterprise, Commercial and Consumer & Small Business. We are currently determining which accounts and people align to each go-to-market segment and organization. The go-to-market dividing lines and account coverage plans will not be implemented until the new fiscal year 2017. Nothing will change until then.

• We will no longer use the Federation as a descriptor. The new term will be “Strategically Aligned businesses” which refers to Pivotal (led by Rob Mee), SecureWorks (led by Mike Cote), and VMware (led by Pat Gelsinger). The definition is any standalone business which is already publicly traded, will be publicly traded or has outside investors.

• As announced on March 1 by Dell and EMC, our new company will have the most experienced, most knowledgeable and most capable leadership team in our industry, bar none. The leadership team of our new company will be (alphabetically):

• Jeremy Burton, Chief Marketing Officer, responsible for brand, events, marketing analytics, digital and communications.

• Jeff Clarke, Vice Chairman and President, Operations and Client Solutions, responsible for our Global Supply Chain and End User Computing organizations.

• Howard Elias and Rory Read, co-Chief Integration Officers, for the Dell | EMC integration.

• David Goulden President, Enterprise Systems Group, responsible for our global infrastructure organization including servers, storage, networking, converged infrastructure and solutions. Bill Scannell, President of Enterprise Sales will report to David and lead the global go-to-market organization serving our enterprise customers.

Also part of Enterprise Systems Group are: Rodney Rogers, CEO, Virtustream, a leading enterprise-class cloud software and services provider trusted by enterprise customers worldwide to migrate and run their mission-critical applications in the cloud; Amit Yoran, President, RSA, a leading security provider focused on Identity, Security Analytics and Governance, Risk & Compliance; and Rohit Ghai, President, Enterprise Content Division.

• Marius Haas, President & Chief Commercial Officer, responsible for our global go-to-market organization serving our Commercial customers.

• Steve Price, Chief Human Resources Officer.

• Karen Quintos, Chief Customer Officer, responsible for leading revenue and margin enhancing programs, ensuring a consistent customer experience across multiple channels and driving strategies to strengthen and build profitable customer relationships. Karen will also lead Corporate Citizenship, including social responsibility, entrepreneurship and diversity.

• Rich Rothberg, General Counsel.

• John Swainson, President, Dell Software, will continue in his current capacity.

• Tom Sweet, Chief Financial Officer.

• Suresh Vaswani, President, Dell Services, will continue in his current capacity.

• EMC will adopt Dell’s fiscal calendar; however, there will be no change to fiscal year calendars in 2016.

Transaction and Integration

• We are still on track to complete the transaction under the original timetable and the original terms.

• As of March 10, 2016, approval or clearance of the merger has been received in the United States, European Union, Australia, Canada, Israel, Japan, South Africa, Switzerland and Turkey. Remaining jurisdictions include Brazil, China, India, Mexico, Russia, South Korea and Taiwan.

• The debt financing is fully committed and is being underwritten by many of the leading global banks. The process of syndicating and placing the debt for a transaction of this nature frequently encompasses a time period of several months from start to finish. That process currently is underway and remains on track, as planned.

• A date has not been set yet, but we are expecting the vote to take place in the spring. All shareholders will be notified by mail when the date of the vote has been set.

• Integration planning has been underway since November of 2015. There are a number of aspects we need to get ready for day one, but the full integration is expected to be a two-year process. Until the transaction closes, EMC and Dell must continue to operate their businesses separately.

Customer and “Non-customer” Reaction

• According to an independent report by ESG (November 2015) of mid-market and enterprise customers of Dell, EMC, or both:

• 92% of all respondents believe that a Dell/EMC combination would benefit (75%) — or have no impact on (17%) — their organizations

• 92% of respondents would increase (60%) or not change (32%) their spending levels with the combined company

• 65% of respondents believe that a Dell/EMC combination will provide more complete and innovative technology solutions

• In late January, ESG published their independent research of what organizations that do not yet purchase from EMC or Dell think about the pending combination. According to ESG’s research, “half of these organizations expect to work with the combined EMC/Dell over the next 3 years” to help them achieve their business goals and “only 9% completely dismissed the notion of working with a combined Dell-EMC.”

Per ESG, “That’s a weird set of statistics in that I’d expect most non-customers to expect to stick to what they were already doing — but the data says that people think the combined Dell/EMC has some incremental new value.”

The same non-customers of EMC and Dell were also asked to itemize the benefits that a combined EMC/Dell entity would provide their organization that would most likely prompt a replacement of their existing IT supplier. The most commonly cited response was technology innovation. The next two most-commonly cited responses were volume discount pricing and end-to-end service and support.
