NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)
NOTE 1 — OVERVIEW AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Dell Technologies is a leading global end-to-end technology provider that designs, develops, manufactures, markets, sells, and supports a wide range of comprehensive and integrated solutions, products, and services. Dell Technologies offerings include servers and networking, storage, cloud solutions, desktops, notebooks, services, software, and third-party software and peripherals. References in these Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements to the “Company” or “Dell Technologies” mean Dell Technologies Inc. individually and together with its consolidated subsidiaries.
Basis of Presentation — The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the audited Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying Notes filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 3, 2023. These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments of a normal recurring nature considered necessary to fairly state the financial position of the Company as of November 3, 2023 and February 3, 2023, the results of its operations, corresponding comprehensive income, and changes in stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended November 3, 2023 and October 28, 2022, and its cash flows for the nine months ended November 3, 2023 and October 28, 2022.
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying Notes. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates. The results of the Company’s operations, corresponding comprehensive income, and changes in stockholders’ equity for the three and nine months ended November 3, 2023 and October 28, 2022, and its cash flows for the nine months ended November 3, 2023 and October 28, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or for any other fiscal period.
The Company’s fiscal year is the 52- or 53-week period ending on the Friday nearest January 31. The fiscal year ended February 3, 2023 (“Fiscal 2023”) was a 53-week period while the fiscal year ending February 2, 2024 (“Fiscal 2024”) will be a 52-week period.
Principles of Consolidation — These Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of Dell Technologies Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and the accounts of SecureWorks Corp. (“Secureworks”), which is majority-owned by Dell Technologies. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
Secureworks — As of November 3, 2023 and February 3, 2023, the Company held approximately 81.1 % and 82.6 % , respectively, of the outstanding equity interest in Secureworks. The portion of the results of operations of Secureworks allocable to its other owners is shown as net loss attributable to non-controlling interests in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income, as an adjustment to net income attributable to Dell Technologies stockholders. The non-controlling interests’ share of equity in Secureworks is reflected as non-controlling interests in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and wa s $ 94 million and $ 97 million as of November 3, 2023 and February 3, 2023, respectively.
Variable Interest Entities — The Company consolidates Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs") where it has been determined that the Company is the primary beneficiary of the applicable entities’ operations. For each VIE, the primary beneficiary is the party that has both the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the VIE's economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to such VIE. In evaluating whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of each entity, the Company evaluates its power to direct the most significant activities of the VIE by considering the purpose and design of each entity and the risks each entity was designed to create and pass through to its respective variable interest holders. The Company also evaluates its economic interests in each of the VIEs. See Note 4 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information regarding consolidated VIEs.

Other Events — On July 12, 2023, the Company entered into a definitive agreement with Comenity Capital Bank, a subsidiary of Bread Financial Holdings, Inc. (“Bread”), to establish a new consumer revolving financing program, operated as the “Dell Pay Credit” program, under which transactions are originated, owned, serviced, and collected by Bread. Under the agreement, the Company also agreed to sell its U.S. consumer revolving customer receivables portfolio. On October 4, 2023, the parties closed the sale for total cash consideration of approximately $ 390 million and the Company recognized an immaterial gain within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Upon completion of the sale, the Company derecognized transferred receivables, net of $ 380 million from the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The Company has no continuing involvement with these receivables, which are serviced by Bread. See Note 4 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information.

NOTE 2 — FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The following table presents the Company’s hierarchy for its assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of the dates indicated:

Liabilities:
Derivative instruments $ — $ 76 $ — $ 76 $ — $ 460 $ — $ 460
Total liabilities $ — $ 76 $ — $ 76 $ — $ 460 $ — $ 460
The following section describes the valuation methodologies the Company uses to measure financial instruments at fair value.
Money Market Funds — The Company’s investment in money market funds that are classified as cash equivalents hold underlying investments with a weighted average maturity of 90 days or less and are recognized at fair value. The valuations of these securities are based on quoted prices in active markets for identical assets, when available, or pricing models whereby all significant inputs are observable or can be derived from or corroborated by observable market data. The Company reviews security pricing and assesses money market fund liquidity on a quarterly basis. As of November 3, 2023, the Company’s portfolio had no material exposure to money market funds with a fluctuating net asset value.
Marketable Equity and Other Securities — The Company’s investments in equity and other securities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of strategic investments in publicly-traded companies. The valuation of these securities is based on quoted prices in active markets.
Derivative Instruments — The Company’s derivative financial instruments consist primarily of foreign currency forward and purchased option contracts and interest rate swaps. The fair value of the portfolio is determined using valuation models based on market observable inputs, including interest rate curves, forward and spot prices for currencies, and implied volatilities. Credit risk is also factored into the fair value calculation of the Company’s derivative financial instrument portfolio. See Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of the Company’s derivative financial instrument activities.
Deferred Compensation Plans — The Company offers deferred compensation plans for eligible employees, which allow participants to defer a portion of their compensation. Assets were the same as liabilities associated with the plans at approximately $ 194 million and $ 179 million as of November 3, 2023 and February 3, 2023, respectively, and are included in other assets and other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. The net impact to the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income is not material since changes in the fair value of the assets substantially offset changes in the fair value of the liabilities. As such, assets and liabilities associated with these plans have not been included in the recurring fair value table above.

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis — Certain assets are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and therefore are not included in the recurring fair value table above. These assets consist primarily of non-financial assets such as goodwill and intangible assets. See Note 8 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about goodwill and intangible assets.
As of November 3, 2023 and February 3, 2023, the Company held strategic investments in non-marketable equity and other securities of $ 1.2 billion and $ 1.3 billion, respectively. As these investments represent early-stage companies without readily determinable fair values, they are not included in the recurring fair value table above. See Note 3 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about the Company’s strategic investments.
Carrying Value and Estimated Fair Value of Outstanding Debt — The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s outstanding debt as described in Note 6 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, including the current portion, as of the dates indicated:
November 3, 2023 February 3, 2023
Carrying Value Fair Value Carrying Value Fair Value
(in billions)
Senior Notes $ 16.0 $ 15.6 $ 18.1 $ 18.2
Legacy Notes and Debentures $ 0.9 $ 0.9 $ 0.9 $ 1.0
DFS Debt $ 9.6 $ 9.1 $ 10.3 $ 9.9
The fair values of the outstanding debt shown in the table above were determined based on observable market prices in a less active market or based on valuation methodologies using observable inputs and were categorized as Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy.

The Company has strategic investments in equity and other securities as well as investments in fixed income debt securities. All equity and other securities as well as long-term fixed income debt securities are recorded as long-term investments in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Short-term fixed income debt securities are recorded as other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
As of both November 3, 2023 and February 3, 2023, total investments were $ 1.6 billion.
Equity and Other Securities
Equity and other securities include strategic investments in marketable and non-marketable securities. Investments in marketable securities are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The Company has elected to apply the measurement alternative for non-marketable securities. Under the alternative, the Company measures investments without readily determinable fair values at cost, less impairment, adjusted by observable price changes. The Company makes a separate election to use the alternative for each eligible investment and is required to reassess at each reporting period whether an investment qualifies for the alternative. In evaluating these investments for impairment or observable price changes, the Company uses inputs including pre- and post-money valuations of recent financing events and the impact of those events on its fully diluted ownership percentages, as well as other available information regarding the issuer’s historical and forecasted performance.
Carrying Value of Equity and Other Securities
The following table presents the cost, cumulative unrealized gains, cumulative unrealized losses, and carrying value of the Company's strategic investments in marketable and non-marketable equity securities as of the dates indicated:

NOTE 4 — FINANCIAL SERVICES
The Company offers or arranges various financing options and alternative payment structures for its customers globally. Alternative payment structures consist of various flexible consumption models, including utility, subscription, and as-a-Service models.
Financing options are offered to our customers primarily through Dell Financial Services and its affiliates (“DFS”). The Company also arranges financing for some of its customers in various countries where DFS does not currently operate as a captive enterprise. The key activities of DFS include originating, collecting, and servicing customer financing arrangements primarily related to the purchase or use of Dell Technologies products and services. In some cases, DFS also offers financing for the purchase of third-party technology products that complement the Dell Technologies portfolio of products and services. New financing originations were $ 1.8 billion and $ 2.3 billion for the three months ended November 3, 2023 and October 28, 2022, respectively, and $ 6.0 billion and $ 6.7 billion for the nine months ended November 3, 2023 and October 28, 2022, respectively.
The Company’s lease and loan arrangements with customers are aggregated primarily into the following categories:
Fixed-term leases and loans — The Company enters into financing arrangements with customers who seek lease financing for equipment. DFS leases are generally classified as sales-type leases or operating leases. Leases with business customers have fixed terms of generally two to four years .
The Company also offers fixed-term loans to qualified small businesses, large commercial accounts, governmental organizations, educational entities, and certain individual consumer customers. These loans are repaid in equal payments including interest and have defined terms of generally three to five years . The fair value of the fixed-term loan portfolio is determined using market observable inputs. The carrying value of these loans approximates fair value.
Revolving loans — Revolving loans offered under a private label credit financing program, referred to as Dell Business Credit (“DBC”), provide qualified customers with a revolving credit line for the purchase of products and services offered by Dell Technologies. The DBC product is primarily offered to small and medium-sized commercial customers. Revolving loans in the United States bear interest at a variable annual percentage rate that is tied to the prime rate. Based on historical payment patterns, revolving loan transactions are typically repaid within twelve months on average. Due to the short-term nature of the revolving loan portfolio, the carrying value of the portfolio approximates fair value.
Prior to the sale of the U.S. consumer revolving customer receivables portfolio described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company also offered private label credit financing under the Dell Preferred Account (“DPA”) program. The DPA product was primarily offered to individual consumer customers.
Flexible consumption models, as defined above, further enable the Company to offer its customers the option to pay over time to provide them with financial flexibility to meet their changing technological requirements. Such models may result in identification of embedded lease arrangements that lead to the recognition of operating or sales-type leases.

The Company recognizes an allowance for financing receivable losses, including both the lease receivable and unguaranteed residual, in an amount equal to the expected losses net of recoveries. The allowance for financing receivable losses on the lease receivable is determined based on various factors, including lifetime expected losses determined using macroeconomic forecast assumptions and management judgments applicable to and through the expected life of the portfolios as well as past due receivables, receivable type, and customer risk profile. The Company continues to monitor broader economic indicators and their potential impact on future credit loss performance.

Total customer receivables, gross $ 9,291 $ 885 $ 140 $ 10,316 $ 9,920 $ 980 $ 78 $ 10,978
Aging is likely to fluctuate as a result of the variability in volume of large transactions entered into over the period, and the administrative processes that accompany those transactions. Aging is also impacted by the timing of the Company’s fiscal period end date relative to calendar month-end customer payment due dates. As a result of these factors, fluctuations in aging from period to period do not necessarily indicate a material change in the collectibility of the portfolio.
Fixed-term consumer and commercial customer receivables are placed on non-accrual status if principal or interest is past due and considered delinquent, or if there is concern about the collectibility of a specific customer receivable. The receivables identified as doubtful for collectibility may be classified as current for aging purposes. Aged revolving portfolio customer receivables identified as delinquent are charged off.

The categories shown in the tables above segregate customer receivables based on the relative degrees of credit risk. Credit quality indicators for DBC revolving and fixed-term accounts are generally updated on a periodic basis.
For the DBC revolving receivables and fixed-term commercial receivables shown in the table above, an internal grading system is utilized that assigns a credit level score based on a number of considerations, including liquidity, operating performance, and industry outlook. The grading criteria and classifications for the fixed-term products differ from those for the revolving products as loss experience varies between these product and customer groups. The credit quality categories cannot be compared between the different classes as loss experience varies substantially between the classes. Prior to the sale of the U.S. consumer revolving customer receivables revolving portfolio described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company made credit decisions based on proprietary scorecards, which included the customer’s credit history, payment history, credit usage, and other credit agency-related elements. The higher quality category included prime accounts generally comparable to U.S. customer FICO scores of 720 or above. The mid category represented mid-tier accounts that are comparable to U.S. customer FICO scores from 660 to 719. The lower category represented accounts that are comparable to U.S. customer FICO scores below 660.

DFS U.S. Debt
Asset-Based Financing and Securitization Facilities — The Company maintains separate asset-based financing facilities in the United States, which are revolving facilities for fixed-term leases and loans. This debt is collateralized solely by the U.S. loan and lease payments and associated equipment in the facilities. The debt has a variable interest rate, and the duration of the debt is based on the terms of the underlying loan and lease payment streams. As of November 3, 2023, the total debt capacity related to the U.S. asset-based financing facilities was $ 5.1 billion. The Company enters into interest swap agreements to effectively convert a portion of this debt from a floating rate to a fixed rate. See Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information about the Company’s interest rate swaps.
The Company’s two U.S. asset-based financing facilities for fixed-term leases and loans are effective through July 7, 2025 and June 21, 2024, respectively. The asset-based financing facilities contain standard structural features related to the performance of the funded receivables, which include defined credit losses, delinquencies, average credit scores, and minimum collection requirements. In the event one or more of these criteria are not met and the Company is unable to restructure the facility, no further funding of receivables will be permitted and the timing of the Company’s expected cash flows from over-collateralization will be delayed. As of November 3, 2023, these criteria were met.
The Company previously maintained a U.S. securitization facility for revolving loans effective through June 25, 2025. In connection with the sale of the U.S. consumer revolving customer receivables portfolio described in Note 1 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company’s U.S. securitization facility for revolving loans was paid down and terminated during the three months ended November 3, 2023.
Fixed-Term Securitization Offerings — The Company periodically issues asset-backed debt securities under fixed-term securitization programs to private investors. The asset-backed debt securities are collateralized solely by the U.S. fixed-term lease and loan payments and associated equipment, which are held by Special Purpose Entities (“SPEs”), as discussed below. The interest rate on these securities is fixed and ranges from 0.53 % to 6.80 % per annum as of November 3, 2023, and the duration of these securities is based on the terms of the underlying lease and loan payment streams.
DFS International Debt
Securitization Facility — The Company maintains a securitization facility in Europe for fixed-term leases and loans. The debt under this facility has a variable interest rate, and the duration of the debt is based on the terms of the underlying loan and lease payment streams. This facility is effective through December 23, 2024 and had a total debt capacity of $ 850 million as of November 3, 2023.
The securitization facility contains standard structural features related to the performance of the securitized receivables, which include defined credit losses, delinquencies, average credit scores, and minimum collection requirements. In the event one or more of these criteria are not met and the Company is unable to restructure the program, no further funding of receivables will be permitted and the timing of the Company’s expected cash flows from over-collateralization will be delayed. As of November 3, 2023, these criteria were met.
Other Borrowings — In connection with the Company’s international financing operations, the Company has entered into revolving structured financing debt programs related to its fixed-term lease and loan products sold in Canada, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and the Middle East. The debt under these programs has a variable interest rate, and the duration of the debt is based on the terms of the underlying loan and lease payment streams. The Canadian facility, which is collateralized solely by Canadian loan and lease payments and associated equipment, had a total debt capacity of $ 328 million as of November 3, 2023 and is effective through January 16, 2025. The European facility, which is collateralized solely by European loan and lease payments and associated equipment, had a total debt capacity of $ 531 million as of November 3, 2023 and is effective through June 14, 2025. The Australia and New Zealand facility, which is collateralized solely by Australia and New Zealand loan and lease payments and associated equipment, had a total debt capacity of $ 290 million as of November 3, 2023 and is effective through April 20, 2025. The Middle East facility, which is collateralized solely by Middle East loan and lease payments and associated equipment, had a total debt capacity of $ 150 million as of November 3, 2023 and is effective through March 24, 2025.

Note Payable — On May 25, 2022, the Company entered into an unsecured credit agreement to fund receivables in Mexico. As of November 3, 2023, the aggregate principal amount of the note payable was $ 250 million. The note bears interest at an annual rate of 4.24 % and will mature on May 31, 2024.
Dell Bank Senior Unsecured Eurobonds — On June 24, 2020, Dell Bank issued 500 million Euro of 1.625 % senior unsecured four year eurobonds due June 2024. On October 27, 2021, Dell Bank issued 500 million Euro of 0.5 % senior unsecured five year eurobonds due October 2026. On October 18, 2022, Dell Bank issued 500 million Euro of 4.5 % senior unsecured five year eurobonds due October 2027. The issuances of the senior unsecured eurobonds support the expansion of the financing operations in Europe.
Variable Interest Entities
In connection with the asset-based financing facilities, securitization facilities, and fixed-term securitization offerings discussed above, the Company transfers certain U.S. and European lease and loan payments and associated equipment to SPEs that meet the definition of a VIE and are consolidated, along with the associated debt described above, into the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as the Company is the primary beneficiary of the VIEs. The SPEs are bankruptcy-remote legal entities with separate assets and liabilities. The purpose of the SPEs is to facilitate the funding of customer loan and lease payments and associated equipment in the capital markets.
Some of the SPEs have entered into financing arrangements with multi-seller conduits that, in turn, issue asset-backed debt securities in the capital markets. DFS debt outstanding held by the consolidated VIEs is collateralized by the lease and loan payments and associated equipment. The Company’s risk of loss related to securitized receivables is limited to the amount by which the Company’s right to receive collections for assets securitized exceeds the amount required to pay interest, principal, and fees and expenses related to the asset-backed securities. The Company provides credit enhancement to the securitization in the form of over-collateralization.
The following table presents the assets and liabilities held by the consolidated VIEs as of the dates indicated, which are included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position:

Customer Receivable Sales
To manage certain concentrations of customer credit exposure, the Company may sell selected fixed-term customer receivables to unrelated third parties on a periodic basis, without recourse. The amount of customer receivables sold for this purpose was $ 205 million and $ 431 million for the nine months ended November 3, 2023 and October 28, 2022, respectively. The Company’s continuing involvement in these customer receivables is primarily limited to servicing arrangements.

NOTE 5 — LEASES
The Company enters into leasing transactions in which the Company is the lessee. These lease contracts are typically classified as operating leases. The Company’s lease contracts are generally for office buildings used to conduct its business, and the determination of whether such contracts contain leases generally does not require significant estimates or judgments. The Company also leases certain global logistics warehouses, employee vehicles, and equipment. As of November 3, 2023, the remaining terms of the Company’s leases range from one month to approximately ten years . As of November 3, 2023 and February 3, 2023, there were no material finance leases in which the Company was a lessee.
The Company also enters into leasing transactions in which the Company is the lessor, primarily through customer financing arrangements offered through DFS. DFS originates leases that are primarily classified as either sales-type leases or operating leases. See Note 4 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about the Company’s lessor arrangements.

Legacy Notes and Debentures — The Company has outstanding unsecured notes and debentures (collectively, the “Legacy Notes and Debentures”) that were issued by Dell Inc. (“Dell”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dell Technologies Inc., prior to the acquisition of Dell by Dell Technologies Inc. in the going-private transaction that closed in October 2013. Interest on these borrowings is payable semiannually.
DFS Debt — See Note 4 and Note 7 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, respectively, for discussion of DFS debt and the interest rate swap agreements that hedge a portion of that debt.
2021 Revolving Credit Facility — The Company’s revolving credit facility, which was entered into on November 1, 2021 (the “2021 Revolving Credit Facility”), matures on November 1, 2027. This facility provides the Company with revolving commitments in an aggregate principal amount of $ 6.0 billion for general corporate purposes, including liquidity support for the Company’s commercial paper program, and includes a letter of credit sub-facility of up to $ 0.5 billion and a swing-line loan sub-facility of up to $ 0.5 billion. The 2021 Revolving Credit Facility also allows the Company to obtain incremental additional commitments on one or more occasions in minimum amounts of $ 10 million.
Borrowings under the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to an applicable margin plus, at the borrowers’ option, either (a) the specified adjusted term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) or (b) a base rate. The margin applicable to SOFR and base rate borrowings varies based upon the Company’s existing credit ratings. The base rate is calculated based upon the greatest of the specified prime rate, the specified federal reserve bank rate, or SOFR plus 1 %. The borrowers may voluntarily repay outstanding loans under the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary breakage costs.
As of November 3, 2023, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility.
Commercial Paper Program — During Fiscal 2023, the Company established a commercial paper program under which the Company may issue unsecured notes in a maximum aggregate face amount of $ 5.0 billion outstanding at any time, with maturities up to 397 days from the date of issuance. The notes are sold on customary terms in the U.S. commercial paper market on a private placement basis. The proceeds of the notes are used for general corporate purposes. As of November 3, 2023, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the commercial paper program.
The Company may purchase, redeem, prepay, refinance, or otherwise retire any amount of outstanding indebtedness under the terms of such indebtedness at any time and from time to time, in open market or negotiated transactions with the holders of such indebtedness or otherwise, as considered appropriate in light of market conditions and other relevant factors.
Covenants — The credit agreement governing the 2021 Revolving Credit Facility and the indentures governing the Senior Notes and the Legacy Notes and Debentures impose various limitations, subject to exceptions, on creating certain liens and entering into sale and lease-back transactions. The foregoing credit agreement and indentures contain customary events of default, including failure to make required payments, failure to comply with covenants, and the occurrence of certain events of bankruptcy and insolvency. The 2021 Revolving Credit Facility is also subject to an interest coverage ratio covenant that is tested at the end of each fiscal quarter with respect to the Company’s preceding four fiscal quarters. The Company was in compliance with this financial covenant as of November 3, 2023.

NOTE 7 — DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
As part of its risk management strategy, the Company uses derivative instruments, primarily foreign currency forward and option contracts and interest rate swaps, to hedge certain foreign currency and interest rate exposures, respectively.
The Company’s objective is to offset gains and losses resulting from these exposures with gains and losses on the derivative contracts used to hedge the exposures, thereby reducing volatility of earnings and protecting the fair values of assets and liabilities. The earnings effects of the derivative instruments are presented in the same income statement line items as the earnings effects of the hedged items. For derivatives designated as cash flow hedges, the Company assesses hedge effectiveness both at the onset of the hedge and at regular intervals throughout the life of the instruments. For derivatives designated as fair value hedges, the Company assesses hedge effectiveness on qualifying instruments using the shortcut method whereby the hedges are considered perfectly effective at the onset of the hedge and over the life of the hedging relationship.
Foreign Exchange Risk
The Company uses foreign currency forward and option contracts designated as cash flow hedges to protect against the foreign currency exchange rate risks inherent in its forecasted transactions denominated in currencies other than the U.S. Dollar. Hedge accounting is applied based upon the criteria established by accounting guidance for derivative instruments and hedging activities. The risk of loss associated with purchased options is limited to premium amounts paid for the option contracts. The risk of loss associated with forward contracts is equal to the exchange rate differential from the time the contract is entered into until the time it is settled. The majority of these contracts typically expire in twelve months or less.
During the three and nine months ended November 3, 2023 and October 28, 2022, the Company did not discontinue any cash flow hedges related to foreign exchange contracts that had a material impact on the Company’s results of operations due to the probability that the forecasted cash flows would not occur.
The Company uses forward contracts to hedge monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency. These contracts generally expire in three months or less, are considered economic hedges, and are not designated for hedge accounting. The change in the fair value of these instruments represents a natural hedge as their gains and losses offset the changes in the underlying fair value of the monetary assets and liabilities due to movements in currency exchange rates.
In connection with DFS operations in Europe, forward contracts are used to hedge financing receivables denominated in foreign currencies other than Euro. These contracts are not designated for hedge accounting and most expire within three years or less.
Interest Rate Risk
The Company uses interest rate swaps to hedge the variability in cash flows related to the interest rate payments on structured financing debt. The interest rate swaps economically convert the variable rate on the structured financing debt to a fixed interest rate to match the underlying fixed rate being received on fixed-term customer leases and loans. These contracts are not designated for hedge accounting and most expire within four years or less.
Interest rate swaps are utilized to manage the interest rate risk, at a portfolio level, associated with DFS operations in Europe. The interest rate swaps economically convert the fixed rate on financing receivables to a three-month Euribor floating rate in order to match the floating rate nature of the banks’ funding pool. The Company also uses interest rate swaps to manage the cash flows related to interest payments on Eurobonds. The interest rate swaps economically convert the fixed rate on the Company’s bonds to a floating rate to match the underlying lease repayments profile. These contracts are not designated for hedge accounting and most expire within five years or less.
The Company utilizes cross-currency amortizing swaps to hedge the currency and interest rate risk exposure associated with the European securitization program. The cross-currency swaps combine a Euro-based interest rate swap with a British Pound or U.S. Dollar foreign exchange forward contract in which the Company pays a fixed or floating British Pound or U.S. Dollar amount and receives a fixed or floating amount in Euros linked to the one-month Euribor. The notional value of the swaps amortizes in line with the expected cash flows and run-off of the securitized assets. The swaps are not designated for hedge accounting and expire within five years or less.

Periodically, the Company also uses interest rate swaps to modify the market risk exposures in connection with long-term debt. During Fiscal 2023, the Company entered into interest rate swaps designated as fair value hedges intended to hedge a portion of its interest rate exposure by converting the fixed interest rate of a certain tranche of debt to a floating interest rate based on the benchmark SOFR Overnight Index Swap rate. The gains and losses related to changes in the fair value of such interest rate swaps perfectly offset changes in the fair value of the hedged portion of the underlying debt that were attributable to the changes in the underlying benchmark interest rate. During the nine months ended November 3, 2023, the Company repaid the hedged debt and terminated the associated interest rate swaps.

Goodwill and Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets Impairment Testing
Goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets are tested for impairment annually during the third fiscal quarter and whenever events or circumstances may indicate that an impairment has occurred.
For the annual impairment review of the Infrastructure Solutions Group (“ISG”) and Client Solutions Group (“CSG”) reporting units during the third quarter of Fiscal 2024, the Company elected to bypass the assessment of qualitative factors to determine whether it was more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit was less than its carrying amount, including goodwill. In electing to bypass the qualitative assessment, the Company proceeded directly to perform a quantitative goodwill impairment test to measure the fair value of each goodwill reporting unit relative to its carrying amount, and to determine the amount of goodwill impairment loss to be recognized, if any. For the remaining reporting units, the Company performed a qualitative assessment of goodwill at the reporting unit level. The qualitative assessment included consideration of the relevant events and circumstances affecting the reporting unit, including macroeconomic, industry and market conditions, overall financial performance, and trends in the public company market valuation, where applicable.
Management exercised significant judgment related to the above assessment, including the identification of goodwill reporting units, assignment of assets and liabilities to goodwill reporting units, assignment of goodwill to reporting units, and determination of the fair value of each goodwill reporting unit. For the quantitative goodwill impairment test, the fair value of each goodwill reporting unit is generally estimated using a combination of public company multiples and discounted cash flow methodologies. The discounted cash flow and public company multiples methodologies require significant judgment, including estimation of future revenues, gross margins, and operating expenses, which are dependent on internal forecasts, current and anticipated economic conditions and trends, selection of market multiples through assessment of the reporting unit’s performance relative to peer competitors, the estimation of the long-term revenue growth rate and discount rate of the Company’s business, and the determination of the Company’s weighted average cost of capital. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the fair value of the goodwill reporting unit, potentially resulting in a non-cash impairment charge.
The fair value of the indefinite-lived trade names is generally estimated using discounted cash flow methodologies. These methodologies require significant judgment, including estimation of future revenue, the estimation of the long-term revenue growth rate of the Company’s business and the determination of the Company’s weighted average cost of capital and royalty rates. Changes in these estimates and assumptions could materially affect the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets, potentially resulting in a non-cash impairment charge.
Based on the results of the annual impairment test performed during the three months ended November 3, 2023, the fair values of each of the reporting units and indefinite-lived intangibles exceeded their carrying values. No goodwill or indefinite-lived assets impairment test was performed during the nine months ended November 3, 2023 other than the Company’s annual impairment review.

____________________
(a) For the nine months ended October 28, 2022, Other represents the reclassification of deferred revenue to accrued and other liabilities.
Remaining Performance Obligations — Remaining performance obligations represent the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to performance obligations not delivered, or partially undelivered, as of the end of the reporting period. Remaining performance obligations include deferred revenue plus unbilled amounts not yet recorded in deferred revenue. The value of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations as of November 3, 2023 was approximately $ 39 billion. The Company expects to recognize approximately 58 % of remaining performance obligations as revenue in the next twelve months , and the remainder thereafter.
The aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations does not include amounts owed under cancelable contracts where there is no substantive termination penalty. The Company applied the practical expedient to exclude the value of remaining performance obligations for contracts for which revenue is recognized at the amount to which the Company has the right to invoice for services performed.
Remaining performance obligation estimates are subject to change and are affected by several factors, including terminations, changes in the scope of contracts, periodic revalidation, adjustments for revenue that have not materialized, and adjustments for currency.

NOTE 10 — COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Purchase Obligations
The Company has contractual obligations to purchase goods or services, which specify significant terms (including fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased), fixed, minimum, or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. As of November 3, 2023, such purchase obligations were $ 3.8 billion for the remaining three months of Fiscal 2024; $ 0.8 billion for Fiscal 2025; and $ 0.6 billion for Fiscal 2026 and thereafter.
Legal Matters
The Company is involved in various claims, suits, assessments, investigations, and legal proceedings that arise from time to time in the ordinary course of its business, including those identified below, consisting of matters involving consumer, antitrust, tax, intellectual property, and other issues on a global basis.
The Company accrues a liability when it believes that it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and that it can reasonably estimate the amount of the loss. The Company reviews these accruals at least quarterly and adjusts them to reflect ongoing negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel, and other relevant information. To the extent new information is obtained and the Company’s views on the probable outcomes of claims, suits, assessments, investigations, or legal proceedings change, changes in the Company’s accrued liabilities are recorded in the period in which such a determination is made. For some matters, the incurrence of a liability is not probable or the amount cannot be reasonably estimated and therefore accruals have not been made.
The following is a discussion of the Company’s significant legal matters and other proceedings:
Class Actions Related to the Class V Transaction — On December 28, 2018, the Company completed a transaction (the “Class V transaction”) in which it paid $ 14.0 billion in cash and issued 149,387,617 shares of its Class C Common Stock to holders of its Class V Common Stock in exchange for all outstanding shares of Class V Common Stock. As a result of the Class V transaction, the tracking stock feature of the Company’s capital structure associated with the Class V Common Stock was terminated. Certain stockholders of the Company, subsequently brought class action complaints arising out of the Class V transaction in which they named as defendants (collectively, the “defendants”) Michael S. Dell and certain other directors serving on the Company’s board of directors at the time of the Class V transaction (collectively, the “director defendants”), certain stockholders of the Company, consisting of Mr. Dell and Silver Lake Group LLC and certain of its affiliated funds (collectively, the “stockholder defendants”), and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”), which served as financial advisor to the Company in connection with the transaction. The plaintiffs generally alleged that the director defendants and the stockholder defendants breached their fiduciary duties under Delaware law to the former holders of the Class V Common Stock in connection with the Class V transaction by offering a transaction value that was allegedly billions of dollars below fair value.
As previously reported, during the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2023, the plaintiffs and the defendants entered into an agreement to settle the lawsuit. Under the terms of the settlement, the plaintiffs agreed to the dismissal of all claims upon payment of a total of $ 1.0 billion (the “settlement amount”), which includes all costs, expenses and fees of the plaintiff class relating to the action and its resolution. The settlement terms required that the settlement amount be paid by the Company and/or the Company’s insurers pursuant to indemnification obligations of the Company to the defendants. The Company is subject to indemnification obligations, upon the satisfaction of specified conditions, to the director and stockholder defendants and their affiliates pursuant to provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law, the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws, and agreements with the defendants. A special committee of the Board of Directors consisting of directors who were not defendants in the action, advised by independent counsel, informed the Board of Directors of its determination that the defendants are entitled to indemnification under the foregoing obligations.

During Fiscal 2023, the Company established a $ 1.0 billion liability on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and recognized $ 0.9 billion expense, net of $ 106 million in insurance proceeds, within interest and other, net within the Consolidated Statements of Income related to the settlement agreement. The Company accounted for the expected insurance proceeds as a loss recovery and recognized a benefit within interest and other, net within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income and corresponding receivable on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position.
On May 16, 2023, during the second quarter of Fiscal 2024, the Company paid the settlement amount following approval of the settlement by the Delaware Court of Chancery. The payment is reflected within cash flows from operating activities within the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The Company does not expect to incur additional expenses with respect to the settlement.
Other Litigation — Dell does not currently anticipate that any of the other various legal proceedings it is involved in will have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows.
In accordance with the relevant accounting guidance, the Company provides disclosures of matters where it is at least reasonably possible that the Company could experience a material loss exceeding the amounts already accrued for these or other proceedings or matters. In addition, the Company also discloses matters based on its consideration of other matters and qualitative factors, including the experience of other companies in the industry, and investor, customer, and employee relations considerations. As of November 3, 2023, the Company does not believe there is a reasonable possibility that a material loss exceeding the amounts already accrued for these or other proceedings or matters has been incurred. However, since the ultimate resolution of any such proceedings and matters is inherently unpredictable, the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows could be materially affected in any particular period by unfavorable outcomes in one or more of these proceedings or matters. Whether the outcome of any claim, suit, assessment, investigation, or legal proceeding, individually or collectively, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows will depend on a number of factors, including the nature, timing, and amount of any associated expenses, amounts paid in settlement, damages, or other remedies or consequences.
Indemnifications Obligations
In the ordinary course of business, the Company enters into various contracts under which it may agree to indemnify other parties for losses incurred from certain events as defined in the relevant contract, such as litigation, regulatory penalties, or claims relating to past performance. Such indemnification obligations may not be subject to maximum loss clauses. Historically, payments related to these indemnification obligations have not been material to the Company.
Under the Separation and Distribution Agreement entered into with VMware, Inc. upon the completion of the spin-off of VMware, Inc. by means of a special stock dividend (the “VMware Spin-off”) on November 1, 2021, Dell Technologies agreed to indemnify VMware, Inc., each of its subsidiaries and each of their respective directors, officers, and employees from and against all liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from, among other matters, the liabilities allocated to Dell Technologies as part of the separation of Dell Technologies and VMware, Inc. (individually and together with its subsidiaries, “VMware”) and their respective businesses (the “Separation”). VMware similarly agreed to indemnify Dell Technologies Inc., each of its subsidiaries and each of their respective directors, officers, and employees from and against all liabilities relating to, arising out of or resulting from, among other matters, the liabilities allocated to VMware as part of the Separation. Dell Technologies expects VMware to fully perform under the terms of the Separation and Distribution Agreement.
For information on the cross-indemnifications related to the tax matters agreement between the Company and VMware effective upon the Separation on November 1, 2021, see Note 15 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 11 — INCOME AND OTHER TAXES
For the three months ended November 3, 2023, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 14.9 % on pre-tax income of $ 1.2 billion compared to 46.9 % on pre-tax income of $ 0.5 billion for the three months ended October 28, 2022. The decline in the Company’s effective tax rate was primarily attributable to the impact of expenses recognized during the three months ended October 28, 2022 in connection with the agreement to settle the Class V transaction litigation described in Note 10 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Other changes in the Company’s effective income tax rate were attributable to higher U.S. tax on foreign operations, changes in the Company’s jurisdictional mix of income, and the impact of discrete tax items.
For the nine months ended November 3, 2023, the Company’s effective income tax rate was 21.6 % on pre-tax income of $ 2.6 billion compared to 21.1 % on pre-tax income of $ 2.3 billion for the nine months ended October 28, 2022. The increase in the Company’s effective tax rate was attributable to higher U.S. tax on the Company’s foreign operations, changes in the Company’s jurisdictional mix of income, and the impact of discrete tax items, largely offset by the impact of the litigation expenses discussed above.
The differences between the estimated effective income tax rates and the U.S. federal statutory rate of 21% principally result from the geographical distribution of income, differences between the book and tax treatment of certain items, and discrete tax items. In certain jurisdictions, the Company’s tax rate is significantly less than the applicable statutory rate as a result of tax holidays. The majority of the Company’s foreign income subject to these tax holidays and lower tax rates is attributable to Singapore and China. A significant portion of these income tax benefits relates to a tax holiday that will be effective until January 31, 2029. Most of the Company’s other tax holidays will expire in whole or in part during fiscal years 2030 through 2031. Many of these tax holidays and reduced tax rates may be extended when certain conditions are met or may be terminated early if certain conditions are not met or as a result of changes in tax legislation. As of November 3, 2023, the Company was not aware of any matters of noncompliance related to these tax holidays or enacted tax legislative changes affecting these tax holidays.
In June 2023, the Company received Revenue Agent’s Reports for the examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) of fiscal years 2015 through 2017 and fiscal years 2018 through 2019. The Company agreed with the IRS assessments relating to fiscal years 2015 through 2017 and settled those positions in August 2023. The impact to the financial statements for that settlement was not material. For fiscal years 2018 through 2019, the IRS proposed adjustments primarily relating to certain transactions the Company completed as part of its business integration efforts, with which the Company disagrees and which it will contest through the IRS administrative appeals procedures. In August 2023, the Company submitted a written protest to the IRS relating to certain assessments. The Company anticipates that the appeals process for the resolution of these matters will extend beyond the next twelve months. In September 2023, the IRS commenced a federal income tax examination of fiscal years 2020 through 2022.
The Company is also currently under income tax audits in various U.S. state and foreign taxing jurisdictions. The Company is undergoing negotiations, and in some cases contested proceedings, relating to tax matters with the taxing authorities in these jurisdictions. With respect to major U.S. state and foreign taxing jurisdictions, the Company is generally not subject to tax examinations for years prior to the fiscal year ended January 29, 2010. The Company believes that it has provided adequate reserves related to all matters contained in tax periods open to examination, including the IRS audits described above. Although the Company believes it has made adequate provisions for the uncertainties surrounding these audits, should the Company experience unfavorable outcomes, such outcomes could have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position, and cash flows.
Judgment is required in evaluating the Company’s uncertain tax positions and determining the Company’s provision for income taxes. Unrecognized tax benefits were $ 1.2 billion and $ 1.3 billion as of November 3, 2023 and February 3, 2023, respectively, and are included in other non-current liabilities in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position. Although the timing of resolution or closure of uncertain tax positions is not certain, the Company believes it is reasonably possible that certain tax matters in various jurisdictions could be concluded within the next twelve months. The resolution of these matters could reduce the Company’s unrecognized tax benefits up to $ 0.4 billion including interest and penalties. Such a reduction would have a material impact on the Company’s effective tax rate.

The Company takes certain non-income tax positions in the jurisdictions in which it operates and has received certain non-income tax assessments from various jurisdictions. The Company believes that a material loss in these matters is not probable and that it is not reasonably possible that a material loss exceeding amounts already accrued has been incurred. The Company believes its positions in these non-income tax litigation matters are supportable and that it ultimately will prevail in the matters. In the normal course of business, the Company’s positions and conclusions related to its non-income taxes could be challenged and assessments may be made. To the extent new information is obtained and the Company’s views on its positions, probable outcomes of assessments, or litigation change, changes in estimates to the Company’s accrued liabilities would be recorded in the period in which such a determination is made. In the resolution process for income tax and non-income tax audits, the Company is required in certain situations to provide collateral guarantees or indemnification to regulators and tax authorities until the matter is resolved.

NOTE 14 — EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is based on the weighted-average effect of all common shares issued and outstanding and is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing net income by the weighted-average number of common shares used in the basic earnings per share calculation plus the number of common shares that would be issued assuming exercise or conversion of all potentially dilutive instruments. The Company excludes equity instruments from the calculation of diluted earnings per share if the effect of including such instruments is antidilutive.

NOTE 15 — RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
For the periods presented within this report, VMware was considered to be a related party of the Company as a result of Michael Dell’s ownership interests in both Dell Technologies and VMware as well as Mr. Dell’s service as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Dell Technologies and as Chairman of the Board of VMware, Inc.
Subsequent to the close of the Company’s third quarter of Fiscal 2024, Broadcom Inc. completed its acquisition of VMware and terminated the preexisting related party relationship. See Note 18 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about the impact of the transaction on the Company’s relationship with VMware.
The information provided below includes a summary of transactions with VMware for the periods presented. Transactions with related parties other than VMware during the periods presented were immaterial, individually and in aggregate.

Pursuant to the Tax Agreements, net receipts from VMware during the nine months ended November 3, 2023 and net payments to VMware during the nine months ended October 28, 2022 were immaterial.
As a result of the activity under the Tax Agreements with VMware, amounts due from VMware were $ 484 million and $ 599 million as of November 3, 2023 and February 3, 2023, respectively, and primarily related to VMware’s estimated tax obligation resulting from the Transition Tax. The 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act included a deferral election for an eight-year installment payment method on the Transition Tax. Dell Technologies expects VMware to pay the remainder of its Transition Tax over a period of two years .
Indemnification — Upon consummation of the VMware Spin-off, Dell Technologies recorded net income tax indemnification receivables from VMware related to certain income tax liabilities for which Dell Technologies is jointly and severally liable, but for which it is indemnified by VMware under the Tax Matters Agreement. The amounts that VMware may be obligated to pay Dell Technologies could vary depending on the outcome of certain unresolved tax matters, which may not be resolved for several years. The net receivable as of November 3, 2023 and February 3, 2023 was $ 95 million and $ 146 million, respectively.

NOTE 16 — SEGMENT INFORMATION
The Company has two reportable segments that are based on the following business units: Infrastructure Solutions Group (“ISG”) and Client Solutions Group (“CSG”).
ISG enables the Company’s customers’ digital transformation with solutions that address the fundamental shift to multicloud environments, machine learning, artificial intelligence (“AI”), and data analytics. The Company’s comprehensive storage portfolio includes traditional as well as next-generation storage solutions, including all-flash arrays, scale-out file, object platforms, hyperconverged infrastructure, and software-defined storage. The Company’s server portfolio includes high-performance rack, blade, and tower servers. The Company’s servers are designed with the capability to run high value workloads across customers’ IT environments, including the training, fine-tuning, and operationalization of AI models. The ISG networking portfolio helps the Company’s business customers transform and modernize their infrastructure, mobilize and enrich end-user experiences, and accelerate business applications and processes. ISG also offers attached software, peripherals, and services, including support and deployment, configuration, and extended warranty services.
CSG includes sales to commercial and consumer customers of branded hardware (such as desktops, workstations, and notebooks) and branded peripherals (such as displays, docking stations, and other electronics), as well as third-party software and peripherals. CSG also includes services offerings, including support and deployment, configuration, and extended warranty services.
The reportable segments disclosed herein are based on information reviewed by the Company’s management to evaluate the business segment results. The Company’s measure of segment revenue and segment operating income for management reporting purposes excludes operating results of other businesses, unallocated corporate transactions, the impact of purchase accounting, amortization of intangible assets, transaction-related expenses, stock-based compensation expense, and other corporate expenses, as applicable. The Company does not allocate assets to the above reportable segments for internal reporting purposes.
Pursuant to the Commercial Framework Agreement (the “CFA”) established between Dell Technologies and VMware in connection with the VMware Spin-off, Dell Technologies acts as a distributor of VMware’s standalone products and services and purchases such products and services for resale to end-user customers (“VMware Resale”). Dell Technologies also integrates VMware’s products and services with Dell Technologies’ offerings and sells them to end users. The results of standalone VMware Resale transactions are reflected in other businesses. The results of integrated offering transactions are reflected within CSG or ISG, depending upon the nature of the underlying offering sold. Subsequent to the close of the Company’s third quarter of Fiscal 2024, Broadcom Inc. completed its acquisition of VMware. See Note 18 of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about the impact of the transaction on the Company’s relationship with VMware.

Supply Chain Finance Program
The Company maintains a Supply Chain Finance Program (the “SCF Program”), which enables eligible suppliers of the Company, at the supplier's sole discretion, to sell receivables due from the Company to a third-party financial institution. The Company has no involvement in establishing the terms or conditions of the arrangement between its suppliers and the financial institution and no economic interest in a supplier's decision to sell a receivable. Suppliers may elect to sell varying amounts of their outstanding receivables as part of the SCF Program. The Company does not provide legally secured assets or other forms of guarantees under the arrangement.
The SCF Program does not impact the Company's liquidity as payments for participating supplier invoices are remitted by the Company to the financial institution on the original invoice due date, regardless of whether an individual invoice is sold by the supplier to the financial institution. Further, the Company negotiates payment terms with suppliers regardless of their decision to participate in the SCF Program. Payment terms with such suppliers vary and do not exceed 120 days.
Any amounts due to the financial institution for suppliers participating in the SCF Program are recorded within Accounts Payable on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Financial Position and associated payments are included in cash flows from operating activities on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
As of both November 3, 2023 and February 3, 2023, the Company had $ 1.0 billion included within Accounts Payable representing invoices due to suppliers confirmed as valid under the SCF Program.

NOTE 18 — SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On November 22, 2023, subsequent to the close of the Company’s third quarter of Fiscal 2024, VMware was acquired by Broadcom Inc. (“Broadcom”). Upon the completion of Broadcom’s acquisition of VMware, Mr. Dell relinquished his direct ownership interest in VMware and his position as Chairman of the Board of VMware, Inc. Mr. Dell’s subsequent ownership interest in Broadcom does not represent control or significant influence to an extent that the transacting parties might be prevented from fully pursuing their own separate interests. As a result, the Company determined that the acquisition terminated the preexisting related party relationship with VMware and that no related party relationship exists with either Broadcom or VMware as of the date of issuance of this report.
Other than the matter identified above, there were no known events occurring after November 3, 2023 and up until the date of issuance of this report that would materially affect the information presented herein.
