ITEM 2 — PROPERTIES
At February 3, 2012, we owned or leased a total of approximately 18.9 million square feet of office, manufacturing, and warehouse space worldwide,
approximately 8.5 million square feet of which is located in the U.S. We owned approximately 58% of this space and leased the remaining 42%. Included in
these amounts are approximately 1.6 million square feet that is either vacant or sublet.
Our principal executive offices, including global headquarters, are located at One Dell Way, Round Rock, Texas. Our business centers, which include
facilities that contain operations for sales, technical support, administrative, and support functions, occupy 12.7 million square feet of space, of which we own
46%. We own 2.6 million square feet of manufacturing space. In addition, our research and development centers are housed in 2.0 million square feet of
space, of which we own 53%.
During Fiscal 2012, we opened a research and development center in Santa Clara, California as well as a data center in Washington. At February 3, 2012, a
business center in Coimbatore, India was under construction. We believe that our existing properties are suitable and adequate for our current needs and that
we can readily meet our requirements for additional space at competitive rates by extending expiring leases or by finding alternative space.
As discussed in “Part I — Item 1 — Business,” we have four operating segments identified as Large Enterprise, Public, SMB and Consumer. Because of the
interrelation of the products and services offered in each of these segments, we do not designate our properties to any segment. All four segments use
substantially all of the properties at least in part, and we retain the flexibility to make future use of each of the properties available to each of the segments.
ITEM 3 — LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

to Consolidated Financial Statements included in “Part II — Item 8 — Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.”
