Dell to Donate up to RMB 2.1 Million to Chinese Earthquake Relief

Visiting China This Week, Michael Dell Says Company Will Stay
Close to Relief Efforts, Offer Continued Support
SHANGHAI, China--(Business Wire)--
Dell and its employees will donate up to RMB 2.1 million to aid
relief efforts in the wake of the massive earthquake affecting China
Monday - the second major disaster to hit Asia in less than a week.

"While our employees in Chengdu and Chongqing are safe and
accounted for, thousands of families in the region have been impacted
by these disasters," said Michael Dell, Dell's chairman and CEO, who
is visiting China this week on company business. "I've experienced
firsthand the concern of our employees, customers and suppliers. We
hope our donations will make a difference to the thousands affected."

The company's contributions will come from Dell Inc., the Dell
Foundation and Dell employees, whose funds will be matched by Dell
through the company's Direct Giving program.

2008 marks Dell's 10th year doing business in China. The company
employs more than 6,000 people across the country in several
locations, including facilities in Chengdu and Chongqing, two
manufacturing plants in Xiamen, an Enterprise Command Center in
Xiamen, a global product-design/engineering center in Shanghai (one of
Dell's largest outside the United States), and an international
service center in Dalian for customers in Japan and South Korea. Last
year, Dell employees volunteered more than 7,000 hours and the company
donated RMB 5 million to Chinese charities.
