The Dell-EMC merger was reported at $67B by cash and stock. I am not sure how much Dell paid out in cash, but I am imagining something like 10,20% were paid to the major shareholders, and the rest were just stock shares? How does this cash + stock payout work in practice?

At closing, EMC shareholders will receive $24.05 per share in cash in addition to a newly issued tracking stock linked to a portion of EMC’s economic interest in the VMware business. Based on the estimated number of EMC shares outstanding at the close of the transaction, EMC shareholders are expected to receive approximately 0.111 shares of new tracking stock for each EMC share. Upon close of the transaction, EMC shares under the ticker symbol “EMC” will be suspended from trading on the New York Stock Exchange. Shares of the tracking stock, trading under the ticker symbol “DVMT,” are expected to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange on Wednesday, September 7.

Apparently Dell has $50B debt, maybe a large chunk was cash? Unless that's private buyout debt I guess.
