Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

     Dell, DII — Holdings Inc., a Delaware corporation and direct wholly owned subsidiary of Dell LLC (the “Purchaser”), and Perot Systems entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger dated

September 20, 2009, as amended (the “Merger Agreement”), for the purpose of Dell’s acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding Shares. Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, the Purchaser commenced a tender offer (the “Offer”) to purchase all of the outstanding Shares at a purchase price of $30.00 per Share, without interest thereon and less any applicable withholding or stock transfer taxes, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase dated October 2, 2009 (the “Offer to Purchase”), incorporated by reference from Exhibit (a)(1)(A) of the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO filed by Dell and the Purchaser with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on October 2, 2009 (as amended, the “Schedule TO”), and the related Letter of Transmittal, incorporated by reference from Exhibit (a)(1)(B) of the Schedule TO.

     The information set forth in the sections of the Offer to Purchase entitled “Summary Term Sheet,” “Introduction,” “Section 6. Price Range of Shares; Dividends,” “Section 10. Background of the Offer; Past Contacts or Negotiations with Perot Systems,” “Section 11. The Transaction Agreements,” “Section 12. Purpose of the Offer; Plans for Perot Systems,” “Section 13. Certain Effects of the Offer” and “Section 14. Dividends and Distributions” is incorporated herein by reference.

     The Offer expired at 12:00 midnight, New York City time, on Monday, November 2, 2009. Based upon information provided by BNY Mellon Shareowner Services, the depositary for the Offer, approximately 108,774,629 Shares were validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the Offer, representing approximately 87.7% of the Shares outstanding as of November 2, 2009. The depositary also informed Dell that, as of the expiration of the Offer, it had received commitments to tender 3,961,266 additional Shares under the guaranteed delivery procedures for the Offer. On November 3, 2009, the Purchaser accepted for payment all validly tendered and not properly withdrawn Shares (including Shares tendered to the depositary pursuant to the Offer’s guaranteed delivery procedure) and promptly made payment for such Shares in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Offer and applicable law.

     Following the Purchaser’s acceptance for payment of all validly tendered and not properly withdrawn Shares on November 3, 2009, pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, the Purchaser merged with and into Perot Systems (the “Merger”) in accordance with the provisions of Delaware law that authorize the completion of the Merger as a “short form” merger without a vote or meeting of the stockholders of Perot Systems. In order to complete the Merger as a “short form” merger under Delaware law, on November 3, 2009 the Purchaser exercised its “top-up” option pursuant to the Merger Agreement, which permitted it to purchase additional Shares directly from Perot Systems for $30.00 per Share, the same price paid in the Offer. In the Merger, each Share not purchased in the Offer (other than shares held in treasury or reserved for issuance by Perot Systems and Shares held by Dell or the Purchaser or direct or indirect subsidiaries of Dell or Perot Systems, all of which were cancelled and extinguished, and Shares held by stockholders who validly exercise their appraisal rights under Delaware law) was converted into the right to receive in cash $30.00 per Share, without interest thereon and less applicable withholding or stock transfer taxes. Following the Merger, Perot Systems became a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Dell LLC and an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of Dell. In connection with the consummation of the Merger, Perot Systems requested that the New York Stock Exchange file with the Securities and Exchange Commission an application on Form 25 to remove the Shares from listing on the New York Stock Exchange and to deregister the Shares under Section 12(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Consequently, trading of the Shares on the New York Stock Exchange was suspended prior to market opening on November 4, 2009. The foregoing summary description of the Merger Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms of the Merger Agreement, as amended by the First Amendment to the Merger Agreement, copies of which are referenced as Exhibit 1 and Exhibit 2 hereto, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference.

     In connection with the Merger, each of the members of Perot Systems’ board of directors resigned, and Janet B. Wright, a designee of Dell, was appointed the sole director of the Purchaser.

     Except as set forth in this Statement (including any information incorporated by reference) and in connection with the transaction described above, neither of the Reporting Persons has any plan or proposal that relates to or would result in any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.

Item 5. Interests in the Securities of the Purchaser

(a) — (b) As a result of the purchase of the Shares pursuant to the Offer, immediately following the acceptance of the Shares on November 3, 2009, the Purchaser beneficially owned 108,774, 629 Shares, representing approximately 87.7% of the Shares outstanding on November 2, 2009 (excluding an additional 3,961,266 Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer’s guaranteed deliver procedure). In order to complete the Merger as a “short form” merger under Delaware law, on November 3, 2009, the Purchaser exercised its “top-up” option pursuant to the Merger Agreement to purchase Shares, and accordingly, Perot Systems issued 29,129,681 Shares at a price of $30.00 per Share, which resulted in an aggregate purchase price for such Shares of $873,890,430 (the “Purchase Price”). The Purchaser paid the Purchase Price for the “top-up” option Shares by delivery to Perot Systems of $291,296.81 in cash and a one-year promissory note in the principal amount of $873,599,133.19.

     Following the Purchaser’s acceptance for payment of all validly tendered and not withdrawn Shares and the issuance of the Shares to the Purchaser pursuant to the exercise of the Purchaser’s “top-up” option, on November 3, 2009 the Purchaser merged with and into Perot Systems and each share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Purchaser that was issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Merger was converted into one share of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of Perot Systems, as the surviving corporation. As a result of the Merger, the Reporting Persons beneficially own 153,227,011 Shares, representing 100.00% of the issued and outstanding shares of Perot Systems. Dell and Dell LLC each have sole voting and dispositive power of all the Shares by virtue of the fact that Dell LLC, the record holder of the Shares, is a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of Dell.

(c) The information set forth in Item 4 is incorporated herein by reference.

(d) To the knowledge of the Reporting Persons, no other person has the right to receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds of the sale of, securities covered by this Statement.

(e) Not applicable.

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer

     Except as set forth in Item 4, neither of the Reporting Persons nor, to the best knowledge of the Reporting Persons, any person set forth on Schedule I hereto, has any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) with any other person with respect to any securities of Perot Systems.
