Presentation to ISS Opposing the Proposed

Dell Take-Private Transaction

June 24, 2013

• Evercore Partners, the advisor to the Board’s Special Committee, has reported to the board of Dell that, based on projections by the
Boston Consulting Group, the advisor to Dell, Silver Lake could realize an average annualized rate of return of up to 44.7% and Michael
Dell could realize an average annualized rate of return of up to 50.1%(1) during the next 4 to 5 years on their investment in the Michael
Dell/Silver Lake take-private transaction now presented for stockholder consideration and action at the special meeting of Dell
stockholders on July 18.

• In light of the Boston Consulting Group projections and Evercore estimates, Icahn and Southeastern believe the board of directors of Dell
should have acted to secure those gains for stockholders. Instead, it agreed to a break-up fee of up to $450 million and a protective
Merger Agreement for the Michael Dell/Silver Lake transaction, which have the effect of dampening third-party interest in Dell and which
Icahn and Southeastern view as highly inappropriate under the circumstances.

• Icahn and Southeastern believe that it would be a sad outcome for stockholders and would reflect poorly on all who are involved in this
process if, after purchasing shares at what Icahn and Southeastern perceive to be a substantially undervalued price, Michael Dell and
Silver Lake earned Evercore’s estimated returns on their investment and that it would be even worse if Dell were sold (or broken up) by
Michael Dell and Silver Lake in a transaction or transactions with one or more strategic acquirers in the near future and for a very large
profit.

• Icahn and Southeastern believe the board could have done more - much more - to afford stockholders an opportunity to achieve the very
same gains now pursued by Michael Dell and Silver Lake. However, Dell instead appears to be engaging in a campaign to highlight
Dell’s bleak outlook in the PC market, obscuring the robust performance and future of the ~$13 billion in acquisitions Dell has made in
recent years, which were paid for by Dell’s current owners. Icahn and Southeastern believe that Dell is conducting this campaign to
prompt stockholders into supporting what Icahn and Southeastern believe is a bad deal for stockholders and a very good deal for Michael
Dell and Silver Lake.

• It is interesting to note that, in the recent past, rather than emphasize the negatives of the PC business, Dell has highlighted the
strengths of the Enterprise Solutions business - accelerated growth, strong margins, and recurring revenues. We look forward to the
results of the discovery in the current stockholder action against Dell to better understand the financial outlook that Michael Dell/Silver
Lake are sharing with lenders in comparison to the dire picture they are now painting for stockholders.

• Icahn and Southeastern believe that Dell’s owners deserve better and can achieve more by voting against the Michael Dell/Silver Lake
transaction and by electing new directors who will act to secure for stockholders the very same gains that Michael Dell and Silver Lake
hope to lock in for themselves.

The Case for Protecting Stockholders at Dell

(1) Evercore Partners 2/4/13 presentation to the Board.

• Michael Dell and Silver Lake would not pursue a take-private transaction unless they thought it was a good
deal for them

Ø Silver Lake has delivered a gross IRR of 27% since inception(1)

• Icahn and Southeastern believe that:

1. The take-private transaction substantially undervalues the Company

2. The Enterprise Solutions Group (ESG) and Dell Services businesses are the future of Dell

3. Stockholders have funded the Company’s turnaround and should be given the opportunity to benefit from
their investment

• Icahn and Southeastern believe that the sale process could not maximize value:

– A go-shop process seldom results in a superior proposal in management-led buyouts

– The Merger Agreement’s restrictive definition of a “superior proposal” would exclude most, if not all,
leveraged recapitalization transactions, despite the fact that such transactions could be economically
superior and would give stockholders the option of sharing in the Company’s future

Overview

We believe the take-private transaction substantially undervalues Dell while superior
alternatives exist.

(1) Reuters article 4/18/13, Silver Lake Raises $10.3 Billion Private Equity Fund.

Dell’s Strategic Rationale

Michael Dell returned to the CEO position on January 31, 2007. During his tenure,
both Dell’s stock price and PC business have significantly underperformed.

DELL Total Return vs. Peers Since Michael Dell’s Return

Source: FactSet as of 6/21/13

Transformation Can Continue as a Public Company

Source: Boston Consulting Group 12/5/12 presentation to the Board.

Dell’s own management consultant highlighted several public company transformations.

Our Comments

These transformations failed
because of a continued focus
on legacy products. Dell has
spent approximately $13Bn on
acquisitions to prevent a
similar fate.

Apple’s market capitalization
increased from a low of $1.7Bn in
July ‘97 to a peak of $658Bn in
September ‘12 as the company
reinvented itself.

Louis Gerstner’s decision to
diversify away from mainframes
was more significant than the
decision to exit the PC business.

Meg Whitman has been clear in
her communications that HP’s
transformation will take time and
has conditioned stockholders to
accept the short-term pain in
exchange for long-term benefit.
The stock has appreciated over
100% since its November ‘12
low.

Dell’s Strategic Rationale

Dell’s own management consultant found little strategic rationale to take Dell private.

Source: Boston Consulting Group 12/5/12 presentation to the Board.

Questions to Dell’s Stockholders

• Do Dell’s owners need the Board or Michael Dell to protect them from the risks
of an alternative transaction as proposed by Icahn and Southeastern(1), or do
Dell’s owners need to protect themselves from an opportunistic purchase by
Michael Dell and Silver Lake?

• We find it difficult to believe that Dell’s owners - including many of the world’s
leading institutional investors, hedge funds and other sophisticated investors -
are incapable of absorbing the risks associated with a conservatively leveraged
balance sheet, when Michael Dell and Silver Lake are eagerly seeking to do
just that and much more.

• Why is the Board pushing a deal that would force stockholders to sell their
shares at what Icahn and Southeastern perceive to be a substantially
undervalued price? Haven’t Dell’s owners earned the right to share in the
substantial potential returns on investment estimated by Evercore for Michael
Dell and Silver Lake?

(1) Any alternative proposal by Icahn and Southeastern would be contingent upon the proposed take-private transaction being defeated, the election of a new Dell Board of
Directors, and approval by that new Board.

The Dell Special Committee, which approved the proposed management buyout, does
not have significant stock ownership.

Value of Recent Transactions

• It is not about the PC… it is not about the PC…
it is not about the PC…

• Dell management has been executing an M&A
strategy aimed at moving away from PCs and
towards higher growth and higher margin
Enterprise Solutions

• Dell has spent approximately $13 billion(1) (over
$7 per share) on this strategy, which:

Ø Will benefit from the same cloud and mobility
trends that are negatively impacting the PC
business

Ø Will benefit from the heavy R&D investments
being made by Dell right now

• At the June 2012 Analyst Meeting, CFO Brian
Gladden noted that Dell is delivering on its 15%
IRR target for acquisitions. Public comments at
the end of 2012 confirm this.

“The acquisitions we've made over last three years, the compound growth rate
associated with those over that time period has been greater than 90%. So there is no
question to not only do we get the revenue from the acquired entity, but our success
today in investing in those assets and growing them has been very strong.”

Dell’s Acquisitions

Source: Dell 2012 Analyst Meeting presentation.

In our opinion, Michael Dell and his partners at Silver Lake want to capture the upside of
the Company’s recent strategic investments and growth initiatives in Enterprise Solutions.

Enterprise Solutions(1) is the Future

• In Q1, Enterprise Solutions accounted for 65% of segment operating income:

Ø Enterprise Solutions Group’s operating income increased 71%

Ø Dell Services revenue grew 2% even as PC revenue declined 10%

Ø Enterprise Solutions accounted for 65% of operating income despite the fact that Dell
Software reported a loss due to accounting associated with acquisitions:

• We believe Enterprise Solutions will continue to contribute an outsized portion of Dell’s
operating income as compared to Enterprise Solutions’ total revenue contribution

• We believe that, at the completion of this transformation, Dell’s future owners will realize
valuation multiples significantly higher than those reflected in today’s stock price due to the
higher percentage of higher growth and higher margin non-PC earnings

(1) Also known as NEW Dell. Includes the Enterprise Solutions Group, Dell Software, and Dell Services.

(2) TechWeekEurope article 6/20/13, Software Will Make A Quarter of Dell’s Profits - Swainson.

“In a public company the accounting rules associated with acquisitions are quite onerous.
You have to take a lot of write-offs upfront, and basically take a haircut on the deferred
income like maintenance revenue…That makes it very difficult for a software business
acquisition to look profitable in the short term.”(2)

John Swainson, President Dell Software

Cost Cutting Opportunities Identified

Source: Evercore Partners 2/4/13 presentation to the Board.

Boston Consulting Group estimates that the Company could realize up to $3.35 billion
in cost savings which would drive meaningful margin expansion.

Positioning for Long-Term Profitability

Dell’s recent aggressive PC pricing strategy is designed to buy meaningful market share
while sacrificing near-term margins - a strategy that will benefit future owners.

“We continued to face a competitive pricing environment and have aligned our pricing strategy to
invest in growth ahead of planned reductions in our cost structure, and this has affected our
profitability. We remain focused on pursuing strategic revenue opportunities that will drive long-
term profitability and cash flow.”

- Brian Gladden, CFO Q1 2014 Earnings Call

“We are investing and acquiring new customer accounts that will benefit our long-term profitability
and cash flow.”

- Tom Sweet, VP Corporate Finance Q1 2014 Earnings Call

“It’s absolutely the right thing to do for the long term. But these are accounts that you have to go
out and take a different tack and pricing strategy with, and that’s often to provide an entry level
into that account.”

- Tom Sweet, VP Corporate Finance Q1 2014 Earnings Call

“In many cases, these are accounts that we feel very good about [with respect to] the long-term
profitability and the impact on our cash flow over time. So while we may not see that showing up
as a positive in the P&L in the short term, we think for the long term it’s the right thing to do to get
ourselves back in price position to scale the business.”

- Brian Gladden, CFO Q1 2014 Earnings Call

Management Quotes from Recent Earnings Call

We believe the $13.65 merger consideration substantially undervalues the Company
even when using depressed results from FQ1’14 as our base.

• Under the Michael Dell/Silver Lake Proposal, the Net Debt/EBITDA multiple is approximately
3.7x(2)

• Under Icahn and Southeastern’s Dell self tender proposal, the maximum pro forma Net
Debt/EBITDA multiple is 1.7x

• Michael Dell claims that our proposal for a Dell self tender would restrict the Company’s financial
flexibility and jeopardize customer perception and employee retention(3). However, a Dell self tender
proposal would result in a maximum leverage multiple of 1.7x as opposed to the 3.7x leverage
multiple under the proposed Michael Dell/Silver Lake take-private transaction

Dell’s Sale and Governance Process

Go-Shop With Impediments to Value Maximization

In January 2013, the Special Committee was educated on factors maximizing the
impact of a go-shop process by Evercore Partners.

Factors Impacting a Go-Shop Process and the Action Taken by Dell’s Special Committee

A longer go-shop period increases the amount of time a
third party has to evaluate a possible transaction - the size
and complexity of the target can increase the amount of
time needed

Duration of
Go-Shop

Dell’s Action:

45-day Go-Shop period

(30-60 days is about average)

Termination
Fee

A lower termination fee reduces the value leakage to
stockholders - a superior proposal would have to overcome
the termination fee to provide incremental value to
stockholders

Dell’s Action:

Up to a $450 million termination fee
payable to Silver Lake

Definition of
Superior
Proposal

1. Broader definition of what constitutes a “Superior
Proposal” gives more latitude to the Special Committee

2. Matching rights serve to discourage bidders and
therefore should be avoided

Dell’s Action:

Set a restrictive definition of
“Superior Proposal” and included
matching rights for the buyout group

Source: Evercore Partners 1/18/13 presentation to the Board.

• A go-shop process is supposed to operate as
a post-signing “market-check” that helps fulfill
the Board’s fiduciary responsibilities

• Since 2005, there have been 137 transactions
with an equity value over $100MM with go-
shop provisions (1)

Ø Of those transactions, only 16 have resulted
in a superior offer

Ø Superior offers were an average of 20%
higher than the initial bid

Go-Shop Processes are Rarely Successful

A go-shop provision often provides cover for a pre-chosen deal, especially when
management is involved.

(1) Source: Evercore Partners 1/18/13 presentation to Board.

(2) Guhan Subramanian, Go-Shops vs. No-Shops in Private Equity Deals: Evidence and Implications.

“The data does indicate some
reason to be wary [of Go-Shops] in
the specific context of management
buyouts (MBOs). Non-MBOs with
a pure Go-Shop clause are jumped
23% of the time, while MBO Go-
Shops are never jumped.” (2)

Impediments and Deal Protections

The Special Committee agreed to a suite of deal protection measures that significantly
handicap a third-party’s ability to pursue an alternative transaction, especially one
where existing stockholders have the choice to receive cash or participate in the
Company’s future.

The restrictive definition of a Superior Proposal, together with other express terms of the Merger Agreement, act as almost
impossible barriers for any potential bidder to be a superior proposal:

ØAs defined by the Merger Agreement, a Superior Proposal in the form of a dividend or share repurchase must result in a single
person (not the Company) owning 50% or more of the outstanding shares (almost impossible) even if such a recapitalization would
be an economically superior alternative to the Michael Dell/Silver Lake deal for ALL stockholders not named Michael Dell

ØBefore the Merger Agreement was finalized, Southeastern made it clear that it would view a recapitalization in which stockholders
can participate as superior, but the Special Committee nonetheless approved terms that would make such a transaction virtually
impossible to achieve

ØIcahn and Southeastern believe that stockholders are capable of evaluating the risk of the business and do not need a Special
Committee that owns practically no stock to choose to transfer those risks (and significant upside) to a very sophisticated buyout
group

The Special Committee has made securing financing for an alternative transaction a challenge:

ØThe Special Committee is unable to provide information or engage in discussions concerning any of our proposals unless such
offer falls squarely within the definition of a “Superior Proposal”

ØThe significant termination fee (up to $450 million plus diligence fees) payable to Silver Lake

ØOnerous matching rights for Michael Dell/Silver Lake

Stockholders should be given an easier path to support an alternative transaction by voting for new directors:

ØBy holding a combined Annual Meeting and Special Meeting, stockholders would have had a real choice to reject the Michael
Dell/Silver Lake deal and at the same time elect new directors on our proposed platform

ØUnfortunately, the Board has chosen to hold a separate Special Meeting rather than hold both meetings concurrently

Dell’s Stockholders Deserve Better

• If the Michael Dell/Silver Lake transaction is rejected:

1) It can be amended

2) The Board can (and, in Icahn and Southeastern’s opinion, probably would)
explore the many alternatives to the Michael Dell/Silver Lake proposal, as
proposed by Icahn and Southeastern, among others

3) Dell’s owners can elect new directors in support of a platform to implement the
proposed $14 per share Dell self tender. Icahn and Southeastern have given
advanced notice of their intent to run a slate of directors at the 2013 Annual
Meeting

• Under these circumstances, Icahn and Southeastern believe that predictions about
a precipitous decline in the market value of Dell stock if the Michael Dell/Silver
Lake transaction is rejected by shareholders are exaggerated

Stockholders have the power to demand and receive more.

Dell’s owners should reject the Michael Dell/Silver Lake
transaction and force Board exploration and pursuit of an
alternative transaction that would enable Dell’s existing owners to
reap the benefits of their multi-year investment in Dell’s
transformation - the value that Michael Dell and Silver Lake
would keep for themselves.
