Item 4 is hereby amended and supplemented by adding the following at the end thereof:

Separation and Distribution Agreement

On April 14, 2021, Dell Technologies entered into a Separation and Distribution Agreement (the “Separation and Distribution Agreement”) with VMware, Inc., a Delaware corporation in which Dell Technologies owns a majority equity stake (“VMware” or the “Issuer”).

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the businesses of the Issuer will be separated from the remaining businesses of Dell Technologies through a series of transactions that will result in the pre-transaction stockholders of Dell Technologies owning shares in two, separate public companies—(1) the Issuer, which will own the businesses of VMware and VMware subsidiaries and (2) Dell Technologies, which will own Dell Technologies’ other businesses and subsidiaries. The transaction is expected to close during the fourth quarter of calendar 2021, subject to certain conditions further described below.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Separation and Distribution Agreement, each of VMW Holdco, EMC and EMC Sub, each a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dell Technologies (collectively, the “EMC Entities”), shall distribute its outstanding shares of VMware Class A Common Stock and VMware Class B Common Stock (collectively, the “VMware Common Stock”) to Dell Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dell Technologies (“Dell Sub” and such distribution, the “Internal Distribution”). Following such Internal Distribution, and subject to the satisfaction of the conditions to payment described below, VMware will pay a cash dividend, pro rata, to each of the stockholders of VMware Common Stock in an aggregate amount equal to an amount to be mutually agreed by Dell Technologies and VMware between $11.5 billion and $12 billion (the “VMware Special Dividend”). Immediately following the payment of the VMware Special Dividend, the separation of VMware from Dell Technologies will occur, including through the termination or settlement of certain intercompany accounts and intercompany contracts and the other transactions further described in the Separation and Distribution Agreement and the ancillary agreements contemplated therein (the “Ancillary Agreements” and such transactions contemplated by the Separation and Distribution Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, the “Separation”). Immediately following the receipt by Dell Sub of its pro rata portion of the VMware Special Dividend and concurrently with the consummation of the Separation,

(i) Dell Sub shall distribute all of the shares of VMware Common Stock to Denali Intermediate Inc., (ii) Denali Intermediate Inc. shall distribute all of the shares of VMware Common Stock to Dell Technologies, and (iii) Dell Technologies shall consummate the distribution by distributing all of the issued and outstanding shares of VMware Common Stock then owned by Dell Technologies to the holders of record of shares of Dell Technologies as of the record date determined pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement on a pro rata basis (the “Distribution”). Immediately following, and automatically as a result of, the Distribution, and prior to receipt thereof by Dell Technologies’ stockholders, each share of VMware Class B Common Stock shall automatically convert into one fully paid and non-assessable share of VMware Class A Common Stock in accordance with clause (vi)(k) of Section C of Article IV of the Certificate of Amendment of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of VMware attached as Exhibit A to the Separation and Distribution Agreement (the “Conversion” and together with the Distribution, the Separation, the Internal Distribution, the payment of the VMware Special Dividend and the other transactions contemplated by the Separation and Distribution Agreement, the “Transactions”). As a result of the Transactions, each holder of record of shares of Dell Technologies as of the record date determined pursuant to the Separation and Distribution Agreement shall hold a pro rata portion of the VMware Class A Common Stock distributed in the Distribution. Following the Transactions, the VMware Class A Common Stock will be the sole class of outstanding VMware Common Stock.

Conditions to the Transactions

The obligation of each of Dell Technologies and VMware to complete the Transactions is subject to a number of conditions, including, among other things: receipt of opinions from independent firms regarding surplus and solvency matters; receipt of certain opinions by Dell Technologies concerning the federal income tax treatment of the Transactions; receipt of a private letter ruling from the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) concerning the federal tax treatment of the Transactions; absence of legal restraints that prohibit, enjoin or make illegal the consummation of the Transactions; absence of pending litigation that would reasonably be expected to prohibit, impair or materially delay the ability of Dell Technologies or VMware to consummate the Transactions on the terms contemplated by the Separation and Distribution Agreement or that seeks material damages or another material remedy in connection with the Separation and Distribution Agreement or the Transactions; satisfaction of the Additional Dividend Conditions (as defined in the Separation and Distribution Agreement); NYSE listing approval; and accuracy of representations and warranties and compliance with covenants, subject to certain materiality standards. In addition, the payment of the VMware Special Dividend is further conditioned upon (i) the absence of a VMware Material Adverse Effect (as defined in the Separation and Distribution Agreement) prior to declaration of the VMware Special Dividend and (ii) VMware having an investment grade credit rating (as further described in the Separation and Distribution Agreement).

Other Terms of the Separation and Distribution Agreement

Either Dell Technologies or VMware may terminate the Separation and Distribution Agreement if:

In connection with the Transactions, the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of VMware will (i) first, be amended to provide that Dell Technologies will be able to contingently convert its shares of VMware Class B Common Stock to VMware Class A Common Stock, such conversion becoming effective immediately following, and automatically as a result of, the Distribution and (ii) second, be amended and restated to, among other things, remove references to VMware Class B Common Stock and remove the consent rights of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of VMware Class B Common Stock. Dell Technologies has caused to be executed written consents approving such amendments to the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of VMware.

The foregoing description of the Separation and Distribution Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Separation and Distribution Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 16 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

Stockholders Agreement

In connection with the consummation of the Transactions, the Issuer, Michael S. Dell (“MSD”), Susan Lieberman Dell Separate Property Trust (the “SLD Trust” and, together with MSD and their respective transferees, the “MSD Stockholders”), and certain investment funds affiliated with Silver Lake Partners (collectively with their permitted transferees, the “SLP Stockholders” and collectively with the MSD Stockholders, the “Stockholders”) will become party to a Stockholders Agreement of the Issuer (the “Stockholders Agreement”).

The Stockholders Agreement will provide, among other things:

Nomination Rights

As further described in the Stockholders Agreement and subject to certain exceptions and compliance with applicable law and stock exchange rules, for so long as the MSD Stockholders collectively beneficially own a number of shares of common stock of the Issuer equal to at least 47% of the number of shares of common stock of the Issuer beneficially owned by the MSD Stockholders immediately following the Distribution (the “MSD Stockholders’ Initial Stake”) (or, if less, equal to at least 20% of all outstanding common stock of the Issuer), the board of directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) or the compensation and corporate governance committee of the Board (the “CCGC”) shall:

(i) nominate one individual (the “Class I MSD Director Nominee”) designated by the MSD Stockholders for election to the Board as a Class I director (as referenced in the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation) at each annual meeting or action by written consent at which Class I directors will be elected; and

(ii) following a request from the MSD Stockholders, appoint to the Board and thereafter nominate a second individual (the “Additional MSD Director Nominee”) designated by the MSD Stockholders for election to the Board at each annual meeting or action by written consent at which the class of directors that the Additional MSD Director Nominee becomes a member of, will be elected, in each case for so long as the Board remains classified.

As further described in the Stockholders Agreement and subject to certain exceptions and compliance with applicable law and stock exchange rules, for so long as the MSD Stockholders collectively beneficially own a number of shares of common stock of the Issuer equal to at least 18% but less than 47% of the MSD Stockholders’ Initial Stake (or, if less, equal to at least 7.5% but less than 20% of all outstanding common stock of the Issuer), the Board or the CCGC shall nominate the Class I MSD Director Nominee for election to the Board at each annual meeting or action by written consent at which Class I directors will be elected. If the MSD Stockholders cease to collectively beneficially own a number of shares of common stock of the Issuer equal to at least 18% of the MSD Stockholders’ Initial Stake (or, if less, equal to at least 7.5% of all outstanding common stock of the Issuer), the MSD Stockholders will cause the Class I MSD Director Nominee to offer to promptly resign from the Board (which resignation may or may not be accepted by the Board in its sole discretion).

In addition, as further described in the Stockholders Agreement and subject to certain exceptions and compliance with applicable law and stock exchange rules, for so long as the SLP Stockholders collectively beneficially own a number of shares of common stock of the Issuer equal to at least 67% of the number of shares of common stock of the Issuer beneficially owned by the SLP Stockholders immediately following the Distribution (the “SLP Stockholders’ Initial Stake”) (or, if less, equal to at least 7.5% of all outstanding common stock of the Issuer), the Board or the CCGC shall nominate one individual designated by the SLP Stockholders for election to the Board as a Class I director (as referenced in the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation) at each annual meeting or action by written consent at which Class I directors will be elected (such individual, the “SLP Director Nominee”). If the SLP Stockholders cease to collectively beneficially own a number of shares of common stock of the Issuer equal to at least 67% of the SLP Stockholders’ Initial Stake (or, if less, equal to at least 7.5% of all outstanding common stock of the Issuer), the SLP Stockholders shall cause the SLP Director Nominee to offer to promptly resign from the Board (which resignation may or may not be accepted by the Board in its sole discretion).

If any person nominated by the MSD Stockholders or the SLP Stockholders ceases to serve on the Board for any reason (except as a result of a reduction in such Stockholder’s right to nominate directors pursuant to the Stockholders Agreement), then the Stockholder who nominated such director shall be entitled to nominate a replacement so long as the Stockholder is entitled to nominate at least one director to the Board at such time.

Support Obligations

During the period as the CCGC, the Board or the Issuer continues to nominate the MSD Director Nominee(s) and SLP Director Nominee(s) (and unless the MSD Stockholders or SLP Stockholders irrevocably renounce their rights to designate director nominees or all MSD Director Nominees and SLP Director Nominees have resigned from the Board), The MSD Stockholders and SLP Stockholders agree with the Issuer that (A) no MSD Stockholder or SLP Stockholder, respectively, shall otherwise act to seek to propose to the Issuer or any of its stockholders to nominate or support any person as a director who is not an MSD Director Nominee or SLP Director Nominee, respectively, or otherwise nominated by the CCGC or the Board and (B) at the Issuer’s annual meeting of stockholders and at any other meeting of the stockholders of the Issuer, the MSD Stockholders and SLP Stockholders, will, to the extent that their respective shares of the Issuer’s common stock are entitled to vote thereon, or in any other circumstance in which the vote, consent or other approval of the stockholders of the Issuer is sought, (1) appear at each such meeting or otherwise cause all of the Issuer’s common stock beneficially owned by the MSD Stockholders and SLP Stockholders, respectively, (and for which the MSD Stockholders or the SLP Stockholders, respectively, have the right to vote) as of the applicable record date to be counted as present thereat for purposes of calculating a quorum and (2) vote (or cause to be voted), in person or by proxy, all of the MSD Stockholders’ or SLP Stockholder’s common stock of the Issuer as of the applicable record date for each MSD Director Nominee or SLP Director Nominee, respectively, and each other individual nominated by the CCGC or the Board for election to the Board.

Committee Rights

For so long as either the MSD Stockholders or the SLP Stockholders, respectively, are entitled to nominate at least one director, such Stockholder may have at least one of its nominees then serving on the Board serve on each committee of the Board (except the audit committee or related party transaction committee), to the extent permitted by applicable law and stock exchange rules and subject to certain exceptions.

Board Chairman

MSD shall remain the chairman of the Board so long as (i) he serves on the Board and (ii) the MSD Stockholders have the right to nominate at least one director to the Board.

Acquisitions of Common Stock and Other Actions

The MSD Stockholders and the SLP Stockholders will agree to be subject to, with specific exceptions and as further described in the Stockholders Agreement, certain limitations and restrictions on the acquisition of outstanding shares of any class of the Issuer’s common stock, including a prohibition on acquisitions of the Issuer’s common stock in a manner that would increase such Stockholder’s initial ownership percentage by more than 1% of the total outstanding shares of the Issuer.

The MSD Stockholders and the SLP Stockholders will agree with the Issuer to not make any public proposal or announcement (individually, together or with a third party) or take any public or private action with any third party that (other than in the capacity as a Board member and subject to such Board member’s fiduciary duties under applicable law) constitutes (i) controlling, changing or influencing the Board or management of the Issuer, including any plans or proposals to change the number of directors or to fill any vacancies on the Board; (ii) any material change in the capitalization, share repurchase programs and practices, capital allocation programs and practices or dividend practice of the Issuer; (iii) any other material change in the Issuer’s management, business or corporate structure; or (iv) seeking to have the Issuer waive or make amendments or modifications to the Issuer’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws.

The obligations set forth in the preceding two paragraphs will expire upon the earliest of (i) the date on which the MSD Stockholders’ or SLP Stockholders’, as the case may be, respective ownership of the Issuer’s common stock is less than 7.5% of all outstanding shares of the Issuer’s common stock, (ii) the later of (A) three years following the Distribution and (B) the 12 month anniversary of the date on which the MSD Stockholders or the SLP Stockholders, respectively, cease to have a right to designate a director nominee on the Board, or (iii) the expiration of the initial term (or earlier termination) of that certain Commercial Framework Agreement (“CFA”), which is five years. The CFA will be entered into by the Issuer and Dell Technologies in connection with and upon the consummation of the Transactions, the form of which is attached as Exhibit K to the Separation and Distribution Agreement which is filed as Exhibit 16 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.

shares entitled to vote in favor of such transaction; provided, that the MSD Stockholders and the SLP Stockholders will only be obligated to vote in favor of such transaction if, (i) (x) with respect to the MSD Stockholders, MSD or a director nominee who is an immediate family member of MSD has voted in favor of such transaction in his or her capacity as a director and (y) with respect to the SLP Stockholders, Egon Durban (or any SLP Director Nominee who is a Managing Director of Silver Lake Partners) has voted in favor of such transaction in his or her capacity as a director, (ii) the Board has not “changed or “withdrawn” its recommendation that the Issuer’s stockholders vote in favor of such transaction and (iii) such transaction does not require any of the MSD Stockholders or the SLP Stockholders to forfeit, terminate or relinquish any of its rights under the Stockholders Agreement.
