Dell Inc. Research Report

On June 18, 2013, Dell Inc.'s (Dell) Special Committee released an official statement regarding Carl Icahn's latest proposal that the Company pursue a self-tender for its shares of approximately $16 billion. Dell reported that the Special Committee of the Board of Directors and its advisors are reviewing the latest proposed concept by Carl Icahn. The Committee stated that the new proposal was a further deviation from Mr. Icahn's original proposal of a buyout at $15.00 per share, and equates to a dividend of approximately $10.00 per share instead of $12.00 per share, as stated in Mr. Icahn's letter dated May 9, 2013. Further, the Special Committee said that Mr. Icahn's current concept may force shareholders to continue to own shares in the resulting highly leveraged Company and stated that Mr. Icahn's concept is not, in its present state, a transaction that the Special Committee could endorse and execute.
