Should be an interesting fight but Southeastern will likely lose if other instituitions don't join it.

SAM looking for DELL to pony up more cash. How much leverage does Dell have to continue the wager?

This will still go through assuming that Dell can convince others to not join. Dell also still holds a sizable stake I think.

Yes, Southeastern needs more than the several other holders who have announced their opposition to the buyout thus far. However, this deal remains subject to a vote of the unaffiliated stockholders. As an affiliated stockholder, the fact that Dell still holds a sizable stake does not help the vote.

Who bears the cost of the proxy fight / legal action? Longleaf investors?
