Item 8.01.

Other Events.

On June 9, 2008, Joe Tucci, Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer of EMC Corporation (“EMC” or the “Corporation”), entered into a pre-arranged stock trading plan established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (“Rule 10b5-1”) and EMC’s policies regarding stock transactions. Under the terms of the plan, Mr. Tucci may sell up to 931,549 shares of EMC common stock during the second half of fiscal year 2008. Mr. Tucci adopted the plan as part of a long-term strategy to gradually diversify his investments in a disciplined manner.

Certain other executive officers of the Corporation have also entered into trading plans established in accordance with Rule 10b5-1 and EMC’s policies regarding stock transactions. Under the terms of these plans, the officers may sell shares of EMC common stock during the second half of fiscal year 2008. Other directors and executive officers of the Corporation may enter into similar trading plans from time to time.

Rule 10b5-1 permits individuals who are not aware of material, non-public information to establish pre-arranged plans to sell company stock under specified conditions and times. Using these plans, individuals can prudently and gradually diversify their investment portfolios over an extended period of time. Any sales executed on behalf of Mr. Tucci or the other directors or executive officers of the Corporation will be disclosed publicly through Form 144 and/or Form 4 filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

The information in this Form 8-K shall not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, regardless of any general incorporation language in such filing.
