Item 5.07 – Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On September 12, 2013, Dell Inc. (the “Company”) held a Special Meeting of Stockholders, at which holders of the Company’s common stock voted on proposals to (1) adopt the Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of February 5, 2013, as amended as of August 2, 2013, as it may be further amended from time to time (as so amended, the “Amended Merger Agreement”), by and among Denali Holding Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Denali Intermediate Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Intermediate”), Denali Acquiror Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Intermediate (“Merger Sub” and, together with Parent and Intermediate, the “Parent Parties”), and the Company, pursuant to which (and subject to the conditions set forth therein) Merger Sub would merge with and into the Company (the “Merger”), with the Company surviving the Merger as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent, and (2) approve, on an advisory (non-binding) basis, the compensation that may become payable to the named executive officers of the Company in connection with the Merger.
