ROUND ROCK, Texas, Nov. 3, 2009 — Dell today announced the successful completion of its tender offer for Perot Systems, an offer which expired Monday at midnight (EST). Dell has accepted the shares validly tendered and has notified Perot Systems of its exercise of its top-up option to acquire Perot Systems shares. As a result of the tenders and the top-up option exercise, Dell will own more than 90 percent of outstanding Perot Systems shares and expects to promptly complete the acquisition of Perot Systems, significantly expanding Dell’s portfolio of technology services and business solutions. The 108,774,629 tendered shares represent about 87.7 percent of outstanding Perot Systems shares. An additional 3,961,266 shares were tendered by notice of guaranteed delivery.

It’s exciting to read that Dell have completed its tendor for Perot Systems, I’m looking forward to seeing what this announcement might mean for Dell in terms of market access and exposure, and in terms of more choice in the professional services arena, I wonder if this might mean more professional services in the small/medium and enterprise businesses for Dell going forward? We’ll have to see, I’m off to read up more.
