In a highly anticipated appraisal decision, Vice Chancellor Laster today valued Dell’s common stock at $17.62 per share, reflecting a 28% premium above the $13.75 merger price that was paid to Dell shareholders on October 29, 2013. The court further ordered that interest shall accrue on this amount at the statutory rate of interest (5% over the Federal Reserve discount rate), compounding quarterly, from the merger date until the date of payment.
