The deal is being financed by cash and equity from Michael Dell, cash from Silver Lake, cash from Michael Dell's investment firm MSD Capital, a $2 billion loan from Microsoft and debt financing from four banks. The transaction is expected to close before the end of the second quarter of Dell's fiscal 2014. (Writing by Ben Berkowitz; Editing by Gerald E.
