DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

Explanatory Statement

On May 11, 2009, Compellent Technologies, Inc. (the “Registrant”) filed a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-159120) (the “Registration Statement”), which registered (i) 1,230,748 shares of the Registrant’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) to be issued pursuant to the Registrant’s 2007 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2007 EIP”) and (ii) 461,530 shares of the Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the Registrant’s 2007 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2007 ESPP” and, together with the 2007 EIP, the “Plans”). This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 is being filed to remove from registration all remaining authorized shares of Common Stock reserved for issuance under the Plans that have not yet been issued under the Registration Statement.

On December 12, 2010, the Registrant entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (as amended, the “Merger Agreement”) with Dell International L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (“Dell International”), and Dell Trinity Holdings Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dell International (“Merger Sub”), providing for the merger of Merger Sub with and into the Registrant, with the Registrant continuing as the surviving corporation and as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Dell International (the “Merger”). On February 22, 2011, the Merger became effective as a result of the filing of a Certificate of Merger with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware (the “Effective Time”). In the Merger, each share of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time (other than shares held by the Registrant, Dell International, Merger Sub or any of their wholly-owned subsidiaries or by stockholders of the Registrant who validly exercise their appraisal rights under Delaware law) was converted into the right to receive $27.75 in cash.

Accordingly, the Registrant hereby removes from registration the remaining shares of Common Stock that have not been and will not be issued under the Plans. Upon effectiveness hereof, no shares of Common Stock remain registered under the Registration Statement for issuance under the Plans.
