The Monday deal of Dell Inc. (NASDAQ:DELL) to sold its some share for $24 billion to go private, is defended by the company by declaring that this deal will “shifts the risks facing the business” to investors, led by Chief Executive Michael Dell.

Dell Inc. argued in its statement that the company buyout proposal “is in the best interests of stockholders.” This announcement made by Texas-based Company last week is a company deal to be sold for $13.65 on each share to a group of investors. The deal was led by Michael Dell and Silver Lake, a private-equity firm.

Dell Inc. (NASDAQ:DELL)’s largest outside shareholder faces an uphill battle in its effort to squeeze billions more out of the planned $24.4 billion deal to take the tech giant private.

The first opposition was faced by the company on Friday, when Southeastern Asset Management has filed their statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  In their letter to the board they said that the price was too small ($13.65 on each share), and it should be $24 on each share. Southeastern Asset Management is firm which owns 8.5% of Dell’s outstanding shares, and if Memphis-based investment firm succeeds in it claim then it could result in a richer deal for other investors of the company too.

This issue is not only arising by the investment firm, but some smaller shareholders and analysts also argue that this proposal undervalued the company.

On Monday, the board defies that the plan that this deal will “offers an immediate and attractive premium for stockholders and transfers the danger facing the business to the buyer group.”

The company embarked on a determined conversion process, Dell has made a strategy to cope with the low PC market by replacing it with lucrative segments of the corporate IT market.

In the recent move from Dell’s board also claimed that a “go-shop process” which “offers stockholders a chance to determine if there are choice that are superior to the current offer.”
