(f/k/a Denali Holding Inc.), a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), Dell Inc., a Delaware corporation, Universal Acquisition Co., a Delaware corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and EMC Corporation (the “Company”), Merger Sub merged with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Merger”). As a result of the Merger, the issued and outstanding Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company was cancelled, and the Company became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent.

In 2013, the Company registered $2,500,000,000 of 1.875% notes due 2018 (the “2018 Notes”), $2,000,000,000 of 2.650% notes due 2020 (the “2020 Notes”) and $1,000,000,000 of 3.375% notes due 2023 (the “2023 Notes” and, collectively with the 2018 Notes and the 2020 Notes, the “Notes”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to a shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which became automatically effective upon filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on May 30, 2013. As of the fiscal year beginning January 1, 2016, each of the

2018 Notes, the 2020 Notes and the 2023 Notes were held of record by less than 300 persons.

The Company is filing this Form 15 to provide notice of its intention to no longer file reports with the Commission under Section 15 of the Exchange Act. (As confirmed by guidance published by the Commission staff, the automatic suspension is granted by statute and is not contingent upon the filing of this Form 15, whether within 30 days after the beginning of the fiscal year as set forth in Rule 15d-6 or otherwise.)
