  • In the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware City
    EFiled: Feb 19 2013 09:26AM EST Transaction ID 49611480 Case No. 8329­ IN THE COURT OF CHANCERY OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE CITY OF ROSEVILLE EMPLOYEES RETIREMENT SYSTEM, Plaintiff, Civil Action No. v. DELL, INC., MICHAEL DELL, JAMES W. BREYER, DONALD J. CARTY, JANET F. CLARK, LAURA CONIGLIARO, KENNETH M. DUBERSTEIN, WILLIAM H. GRAY, III, GERARD J. KLEISTERLEE, KLAUS S. LUFT, ALEX J. MANDL, SHANTANU NARAYEN, ROSS PEROT, JR., DENALI HOLDING INC., DENALI INTERMEDIATE INC., DENALI ACQUIROR INC., SILVER LAKE PARTNERS, L.P., SILVER LAKE PARTNERS III, L.P., SILVER LAKE PARTNERS IV, L.P., SILVER LAKE TECHNOLOGY INVESTORS III, L.P., and MSDC MANAGEMENT, L.P., Defendants. VERIFIED CLASS ACTION COMPLAINT City of Roseville Employees’ Retirement System (“Plaintiff”), by and through its undersigned counsel, upon knowledge as to itself and upon information and belief as to all other matters, alleges as follows: NATURE OF THE ACTION 1. This action challenges Michael Dell’s attempt to take Dell, Inc. (“Dell” or the “Company”) private in a transaction (the “Going Private Transaction”) that offers Dell’s public shareholders an egregiously unfair price and threatens to foreclose them from sharing in any of the benefits to be obtained by the Company’s unfolding turnaround plan. The Going Private Transaction offers Dell’s public shareholders $13.65 per share – a price so patently unfair that it prompted one shareholder to question whether company insiders are “trying to steal the company because of current market conditions.” The $13.65 per share purchase price is approximately 3% less than the price at which the stock was trading just days prior to the Transaction’s announcement, represents only a 25% premium over the stock’s trading price before news of a potential transaction was reported, and amounts to a 34% discount from the prices at which Dell was trading a year ago.

Those who disrupt industries can change consumer behavior, alter economics, and transform lives. What caused the once-disruptive Dell’s growth rate and stock price to decline in the mid-2000s, and how might Dell thrive again? What are the lessons for other companies? This study analyzes how innovative cultures are created, lost, and reborn in large companies through the lens of a long-term case study, namely my 13 years at Dell. The research fuses Innovation and Foresight frameworks, principally Curry & Hodgson’s Three Horizons framework and Hill’s Willing and Able framework, and shows that Dell lost its innovation edge when a cultural shift and the pressures of Wall Street crushed risk-taking.
