Explanation of Responses:

( 1 )Under the terms of a stock purchase agreement dated as of December 15, 2016, by and among Dell Technologies Inc. (the "Company"), EMC Equity Assets LLC, an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, and VMware, Inc., the final price per share will be determined based on the volume-weighted average per share price of the Class A Common Stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange during a specified reference period, less a discount of 3.5% from that volume-weighted average per share price, and subject to adjustment in certain circumstances as set forth in the stock purchase agreement. The price per share will be set forth in an amendment to this Form 4 report. ( 2 )The 4,775,142 shares of Class A Common Stock sold in the reported transaction, which is expected to close on December 22, 2016, were held directly by EMC Equity Assets LLC, a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of EMC Corporation ("EMC"). EMC is the record holder of 35,139,359 shares of the 38,250,166 shares of Class A Common Stock reported in Column 5 of Table I, and EMC Equity Assets LLC is the record holder of the remainder of the shares of Class A Common Stock reported in Column 5 of Table I. EMC is directly wholly owned by Dell Inc., which in turn is indirectly wholly owned by the Company through its directly held wholly-owned subsidiary Denali Intermediate Inc. The reporting person may be deemed to beneficially own securities held by EMC and EMC Equity Assets LLC by reason of his ownership of securities representing a majority of the voting power represented by all voting securities of the Company. [footnote cont'd] ( 3 )[continuation] The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of the shares of Class A Common Stock held by EMC and EMC Equity Assets LLC except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein.

Reminder: Report on a separate line for each class of securities beneficially owned directly or indirectly.
