transaction valued at approximately $175 million. It also announced that it had
completed the acquisition of Massachusetts-based RSA Security.

Under the terms of the definitive agreement announced on June 29, 2006, EMC
paid $28.00 per share in cash in exchange for each outstanding share of RSA and
the assumption of outstanding options for a total purchase price of

The acquisition of RSA and Network Intelligence together will create a new
information security division of EMC.

RSA Security adds industry-leading enterprise identity and access management
products, consumer identity and fraud protection solutions, encryption and key
management software and tremendous security knowledge and expertise to EMC's
expanding, information-centric security product and service portfolio.

Network Intelligence advances EMC's information-centric security strategy
by providing tools that enable companies to collect, monitor, analyze and report
on security event-related activity throughout the IT infrastructure — in the
network, in enterprise applications, on mainframes, on desktops, in storage
devices or elsewhere.

Joe Tucci, Chairman, President and CEO, EMC, said, “The additions of RSA
and Network Intelligence to the EMC family enable us to execute on our
information-centric security strategy to help organizations around the world
secure their information throughout its lifecycle and reduce the associated cost
of regulatory compliance.”

Operating under the RSA brand, EMC's security division will be
headquartered in Bedford, Massachusetts and led by Art Coviello, the former CEO
of RSA Security. Coviello an Executive VP, EMC and President, RSA, is reporting
directly to Tucci.
