So maybe Dell and Silver Lake are cashing out and everyone else who owns VMware stock is going to get Broadcom stock and that’s it.” Uh no. That’s not the way it works. All shareholders are equal when it comes to proration. If the majority of shareholders elects to be paid in cash or in shares, all shareholders will end up getting paid out in 50% cash and 50% shares, including M.Dell.
