Dell says considered options before deciding to go private Feb 11th 2013, 12:14 Mon Feb 11, 2013 7:14am EST (Reuters) - Dell Inc had considered many strategic options before opting to go private, the company said in a regulatory filing. The struggling PC maker struck a deal last week with its chief executive officer, Michael Dell, private equity firm Silver Lake and Microsoft Corp to go private in a $24.4 billion deal. Dell's largest independent shareholder, Southeastern Asset Management Inc, and three other investors have objected to the deal, saying the company is worth a lot more than the agreed upon $13.65 per share offer, Reuters reported on Friday. The company said on Monday it had retained a management consultant to help assess its "strategic position" and concluded that the proposed all-cash deal was in the best interests of stockholders.
