Broadcom may be required to indemnify Dell for significant tax liabilities if the 2021 VMware spin-off is deemed taxable. This creates a major contingent liability and a significant pain point for the finance and legal teams, who will be focused on mitigating this financial risk.
Filing excerpt
If the VMware spin-off from Dell in November 2021 is determined to not be tax-free for any reason, we could be liable for all or a portion of the tax liability, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.
