CheeseMan42 Posted October 12, 2015 Posted October 12, 2015 Dell has announced that it will purchase storage specialist EMC in conjunction with Silver Lake, MSD Partners, and Temasek Holdings for a total of $67 billion. The deal has a total value of $33.15 per share, a 28% boost from the October 7 closing stock price, with a mix of cash and stock being used as compensation. EMC has a 21% share of the storage market, roughly double the share for Dell, and the acquisition should augment the Dell server business and return value to EMC shareholders. The deal will close sometime next year between May and October. Source: Ars Technica Back to original news post Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
