It's Official: Dell is currently private $ 24.4 billion, or $ 13.65 per share in cash, an operation that will allow the company to turn around, far from the eyes of shareholders.

Michael Dell, who owns about 14 percent of the shares of Dell, has teamed up with Silver Lake Partners to acquire the company. Microsoft has also launched a loan of $ 2 billion.

After completion of the transaction, Michael Dell will continue to lead the company as CEO. It will also maintain a significant stake in the company contributing to its Dell shares to the new company, as well as making a "substantial" investment of additional cash.

Here is what Michael Dell had to say today in a press release:

We can provide immediate value to shareholders while we continue to execute our long-term strategy and focus on providing best-in-class solutions to our customers as a private company. Dell has made progress in implementing this strategy over the past four years, but we are aware that it will take more time, investment and patience, and I think that our efforts will be better supported by a partnership with Silver Lake in our common vision.

We are committed to providing an unparalleled customer experience and excited to continue the way to go. '
