results for its fiscal quarter ended May 5, 2006. A copy of the press release is
furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
Dell Inc. plans to initiate a commercial paper program under which Dell
may, from time-to-time, issue short-term unsecured notes in an aggregate amount
not to exceed $1.0 billion. The notes will be a private offering under the
exemption provided by Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933. Dell intends
to use the proceeds of the notes for general corporate purposes, which will
include the funding of DFS growth. The notes will not be registered under the
Securities Act or state securities laws, and may not be offered or sold in the
United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from the
registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state laws.
This announcement is for informational purposes only and shall not
constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any
securities, nor shall there be any sale of the notes in any jurisdiction in
which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration
or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction or an
exemption therefrom.
