Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 12 ( “Amendment No. 12”) amends the statement on Schedule 13D originally filed by the Reporting Persons on September 19, 2016, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Schedule 13D filed on November 7, 2016, Amendment No. 2 to the Schedule 13D filed on December 16, 2016, Amendment No. 3 to the Schedule 13D filed on December 22, 2016, Amendment No. 4 to the Schedule 13D filed on February 15, 2017, Amendment No. 5 to the Schedule 13D filed on March 30, 2017, Amendment No. 6 to the Schedule 13D filed on April 5, 2017, Amendment No. 7 to the Schedule 13D filed on May 10, 2017, Amendment No. 8 to the Schedule 13D filed on August 24, 2017, Amendment No. 9 to the Schedule 13D filed on September 14, 2017, Amendment No. 10 to the Schedule 13D filed on November 3, 2017, Amendment No. 11 to the Schedule 13D filed on February 2, 2018 (as so amended, the “Schedule 13D”). The Items below amend the information disclosed under the corresponding Items of the Schedule 13D as described below. Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 12 does not modify any of the information previously reported in the Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings attributed to them in the Schedule 13D.

The Class A Common Stock of the Issuer reported as beneficially owned in the Schedule 13D is directly held by EMC Corporation (“EMC”) or its wholly-owned subsidiaries EMC Equity Assets LLC (“EMC Sub”) and VMW Holdco LLC (“VMW Holdco”). EMC is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dell Inc., which is indirectly wholly-owned by Dell Technologies Inc. (“Dell Technologies”). Dell Technologies is owned by investors including certain of the Reporting Persons, Michael S. Dell, a separate property trust for the benefit of Mr. Dell’s wife and funds affiliated with MSD Partners, L.P. This Amendment No. 12 is being filed to report the events described in Item 4 of this Amendment No. 12 below. There have been no changes in the number of shares of the outstanding Class A Common Stock of the Issuer which may be deemed to be beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons and all changes in percentages owned are caused by fluctuations in the number of shares of Class A Common Stock of the Issuer outstanding.

 

Item 2. Identity and Background.

The information set forth in amended and restated Annex A hereto is incorporated by reference in this amended Item 2.

 

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following paragraphs at the end thereof:

On July 2, 2018, Dell Technologies announced that it had completed its evaluation of potential strategic business opportunities and has determined not to pursue a business combination with the Issuer. As a result of such evaluation, Dell Technologies has determined to pursue a recapitalization transaction pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) entered into by Dell Technologies and Teton Merger Sub Inc. (“Merger Sub”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Dell Technologies. Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions of the Merger Agreement, each outstanding share of Dell Class V Common Stock would be converted (the “Exchange”)


into the right to receive, at the holder’s option, 1.3665 shares of Dell Class C Common Stock or $109.00 of cash (up to an aggregate cash consideration amount of $9.0 billion). Upon consummation of the Exchange, all shares of Dell Class V Common Stock would be delisted from the New York Stock Exchange. The Exchange is conditioned upon, among other things, the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Dell Class V Common Stock not held by affiliates of Dell Technologies and the payment by the Issuer of a special cash dividend pro rata to all holders of the Issuer’s Common Stock in an aggregate amount equal to $11.0 billion. Additional information about the Merger Agreement, the Exchange and the conditions to its consummation may be found in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed by Dell Technologies on July 2, 2018.

During the course of its evaluation of potential strategic business opportunities, Dell Technologies notified the Issuer that certain of the potential opportunities being evaluated by Dell Technologies would involve an extra-ordinary cash dividend by the Issuer. Following such notification, Dell Technologies and the Issuer engaged in discussions regarding the possibility of such an extra-ordinary cash dividend. On July 1, 2018, following the recommendation of an independent special committee of directors, the Board of Directors of the Issuer approved a special dividend pro rata to all holders of the Issuer’s Common Stock in an aggregate amount equal to $11.0 billion. Payment of the special dividend is conditioned upon approval of the Merger Agreement by the holders of Dell Class V Common Stock and the satisfaction of certain other conditions.

In connection with the execution of the Merger Agreement and in furtherance of the transactions contemplated thereby, Dell Technologies entered into a letter agreement with the Issuer on July 1, 2018 (the “VMware Letter”). Subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, Dell Technologies agreed (i) to announce that it has concluded its review of potential business opportunities and decided not to pursue a business combination with the Issuer, (ii) to use its reasonable best efforts to consummate the Merger on the same date that Dell Technologies receives the special cash dividend from the Issuer and (iii) not to terminate the Merger Agreement by mutual consent with Merger Sub without the Issuer’s consent. Additionally, the VMware Letter requires that any future request from Dell Technologies or its affiliates that the Issuer issue a special dividend and any acquisition of the Issuer’s Common Stock by Dell Technologies or its affiliates that would cause the Issuer to cease to be a publicly traded company will be subject to approval by a special committee of the Issuer’s board of directors comprised solely of independent and disinterested directors. The VMware Letter will terminate on the earlier of (x) July 1, 2028 and (y) the date that no shares of Class A Common Stock, or any other class or series of securities into which such shares may convert or otherwise become, remain outstanding (other than shares beneficially owned, directly or indirectly, by Dell Technologies and its affiliates).

The foregoing description of the VMware Letter does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of such agreement, which is filed herewith as Exhibit F and is incorporated by reference herein.
