It is exactly that. He(Micheal Dell) is not getting the cash deal that other investors are. He is not getting the same deal that other investors are getting. It is that simple.
> You are not allowed to favour some shareholders over others.
No one said they could. He does however have special terms for himself in this deal.
"special terms for himself" is different treatment. As far as I can work out he is taking the buyout as a shareholder and then reinvesting the cash into the buyout deal, but the small print is not public.
