Dell Confirms and Details Rival Bids From Blackstone and Icahn

Posted by samzenpus on Monday March 25, 2013 @04:14AM from the dude-you're-buying-dell dept.

DavidGilbert99 writes "Dell has confirmed it has received 'two alternative acquisition proposals' from billionaire investor Carl Icahn and the world's largest equity firm Blackstone. These bids rival the $24.4 billion offer made by co-founder Michael Dell and equity firm Silver Lake last month, who want to take the company private. Dell also confirmed details of the two offers, with both exceeding Michael Dell's original offer of $13.65 per share, with Blackstone offering $14.25 and Icahn offering $15 per share."

That is what everybody said about Apple when Steve Jobs came back.
And the reason why Michele wants to take Dell private is so he can do some radical things to it. So who knows? Give the man the benefit of a doubt, grab some popcorn, and see what happens - assuming Michele get the company.
