Dell buys EMC for USD 67 bln, VMware to remain independent

2015-10-12 16:48:00| Telecompaper Headlines

(Telecompaper) Dell has agreed to buy EMC for an estimated total of USD 67 billion, or USD 33.15 per share in cash. The price is fluid as part of the money will be paid in tracking stock linked to a portion of EMC's stake in VMware. The combination will create the world's largest privately-controlled, integrated technology company, bringing together expertise in digital transformation, software-defined data centre, hybrid cloud, converged infrastructure, mobile and security. It will be a leader in the USD 2 trillion IT market with complementary product portfolios, sales teams and R&D investment strategies. Under the terms of the agreement, EMC shareholders will receive USD 24.05 per share in cash and 0.111 shares of new tracking stock for each EMC share. The amount assumes, for illustrative purposes, a valuation for each share of tracking stock of USD 81.78, the intraday volume-weighted average price for VMware on 7 October. The value of the tracking stock may vary from the market price of VMware given the different characteristics and rights of the two stocks. VMware will remain a publicly-traded company and continue to provide customers software-defined data centre technology, together with its cloud, mobile and desktop offerings.
