“The combination of Dell and EMC will create the world’s largest privately controlled, integrated technology company”, Dell said in a statement before markets opened in the U.S. on Monday.
Dell partnered with MSD Partners and private-equity firm Silver Lake on Monday to complete the acquisition. It doesn’t appear that Dell CEO Michael Dell is just spinning hype when he talks about the synergies of the deal. Instead, talks have been carried out between between the CEOs Michael Dell and Joe Tucci at EMC, according to Re/code. The company has already diversified into areas such as IT services and network security, and has had a long-standing partnership with EMC.
Following the deal, EMC’s stock saw a very constructive change as it hiked by an excellent 1.8 per cent. To make matters more favourable, Dell is anticipated to make a major addition of $50 billion to its debt loan.
EMC Corp shareholders, of course will receive approximately $33.15 per share and this includes cash as well as tracking stock linked to a few of the company’s existing economic interest. She also said the new company will need to relocate a lot of funds to sustain the new deal, which could hurt customer satisfaction.
“This is where VMware and EMC have not leveraged what they should have leveraged in the market”, Mueller said.
In addition, the combined outfit will have complementary product portfolios, expanded market reach, as well as what Tucci calls “four of the world’s greatest technology franchises” – servers, storage, virtualization, and PCs.
He explained that the deal with Dell is taking place to keep EMC growing and thriving through the IT industry’s changes.
Through the EMC acquisition, Dell would be able to get a significant control of VMware at a much discounted price.
