shares validly tendered and has notified Perot Systems of its exercise of its
top-up option to acquire Perot Systems shares. As a result of the tenders and
the top-up option exercise, Dell will own more than 90 percent of outstanding
Perot Systems shares and expects to promptly complete the acquisition of Perot

business solutions. The 108,774,629 tendered shares represent about 87.7 percent

Dell Services, a new business unit formed by the acquisition, will develop and
deliver a best-in-class suite of end-to-end IT services and business solutions

Perot Systems extends Dell Services into hosting, consulting, applications and
business-process outsourcing, and expands Dell`s existing managed and modular
services. The combination leverages Perot Systems` capabilities across Dell`s
much larger customer base, spanning global corporations, government agencies,
health care and educational institutions, and small and medium enterprises.

Dell Services will be one of the world`s largest technology services
organizations with more than 41,000 experienced and skilled technology- and
business-services professionals and revenue of approximately $8 billion from
enhanced services and support over the past four quarters.

Peter Altabef becomes president of Dell Services, reporting to Michael Dell,
Dell chairman and chief executive officer. Mr. Altabef brings more than two
decades of leadership experience to his new role, including the last five years
as CEO of Perot Systems. In addition to previous Perot Systems operations, Mr.
Altabef is responsible for Dell`s commercial services-including consulting,
sales, marketing, quality and customer relationship management functions-and the
company`s internal IT.

Dell expects the Perot Systems acquisition to be accretive to its GAAP earnings
in fiscal year 2012. Dell reports the results of its fiscal third-quarter 2010
on Nov. 19 and expects to hold an integration call with analysts and the media
in mid-December.
