NOTE 20—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

There were no known events occurring after the balance sheet date and up until the date of the issuance of these financial statements that would materially affect the information presented herein. The Company evaluated subsequent events through March 11, 2016, the date of the issuance of these financial statements.

Sale of Dell Services (Unaudited)

On March 27, 2016, Dell entered into a definitive agreement with NTT Data International L.L.C. to sell Dell Services, including the Dell Services Federal Government business (collectively, “Dell Services”), for cash consideration of approximately $3.1 billion. Dell Services includes process outsourcing, application management, and infrastructure services. The global support, deployment, and professional services businesses are not included in the pending transaction. Denali performed an assessment of Dell Services as of January 29, 2016 and determined that it did not meet held-for-sale criteria as of that date. Dell Services assets and liabilities will be classified as held-for-sale, and its historical financial results will be classified as discontinued operations beginning in the first quarter of the fiscal year ended February 3, 2017. There are no indications of potential impairment of assets.

Federal Income Taxes (Unaudited)

The Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for fiscal years 2007 through 2009 are currently under examination by the IRS and the IRS issued an RAR related to those years during the first quarter of Fiscal 2017. Similar to the action taken in connection with the audit of the Company’s U.S. federal income tax returns for fiscal years 2004 through 2006, the IRS has proposed adjustments relating to certain tax positions taken on the return that the Company disagrees with and will contest through the IRS administrative appeals procedures. The Company believes it has valid positions supporting its tax returns and that it is adequately reserved.
