Michael Dell.
Dell and EMC have taken another step toward completing their
megamerger. The deal has cleared the FTC waiting period, meaning
US regulators are good with it.
Europe is also reportedly ready to approve the dealsoon.
EMC shareholders haven't voted on it yet, but one of the activist hedge
fund shareholders who had wanted Dell and EMC to make some
changes is ready to back the deal, so there's very little resistance
left on that count, Re/code's Arik Hesseldahl reports.

7/24/2019 US Regulators Have Approved Dell's
3/9
Dell announced its intent to buy EMC for $67 billion in October in a deal
that involved a lot of debt and complicated financing, including turning
the VMware shares that EMC owns into a tracking stock. EMC owns
about 81% of VMware.
It shocked the tech world at the time. When completed, it will be the
largest pure-tech merger in history.
Earlier this month, EMC board member Bill Green told investors at the
Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference that the deal had
been so carefully orchestrated that only an "act of God" would keep it
from happening.
But if this deal does go through as planned, it will catapult Dell into the
big leagues in the $2 trillion enterprise technology marketing, putting it
on par with Hewlett Packard Enterprise and IBM in terms of the number
of products that it sells and the global customers it can serve.
Still, there have been a lot of questions and concerns. For instance,
Dell is taking on a lot of debt to make this deal happen, borrowing about
$50 billion, it confirmed in December in a SEC filing. And
Dell is still carrying about $11 billion in debt on its books from its $24.4
billion go-private deal.
So Dell has been spinning out assets, like the planned IPO of a unit
called SecureWorks. And it's reportedly been shopping around
other units like its SonicWall security business and Quest Software for
a reported $2 billion each, and its outsourcing business, Perot Sys-
tems, for a reported $5 billion.

There's also been concern that once the deal closes, Dell will raid
VMware's coffiers to help pay off debt, something that EMC CEO Joe
Tucci is promising won't happen.
And of course, employees are nervous about potential layoffs with re-
dudent positions. EMC has already been cutting jobs in 2016, as it
promised it would before the merger was announced. Meanwhile,
VMware has also been laying off workersahead of this merger.
VMware shareholders (besides EMC) haven't been thrilled. The stock
is down about 30% since the merger was announced, and is down an-
other 2% on this news, trading at just under $49.
