Dell Technologies Board Unanimously Recommends Redomestication to Texas

Key Terms

redomestication regulatory

Redomestication is a company changing its legal home from one country or state to another by re-registering or swapping shares, much like a person moving their official address to a new jurisdiction. Investors care because that legal home determines tax rules, shareholder rights, regulatory oversight and listing requirements, which can affect dividend treatment, voting power, legal protections and the ease of buying or selling the stock.

forward-looking statements regulatory

Forward-looking statements are predictions or plans that companies share about what they expect to happen in the future, like estimating sales or profits. They matter because they help investors understand a company's outlook, but since they are based on guesses and assumptions, they can sometimes be wrong.

proxy statement on schedule 14a regulatory

A proxy statement on Schedule 14A is the official, regulator-filed packet of information companies send to shareholders before a vote, like a mailed agenda and background materials for a town-hall meeting. It explains who is running for the board, items up for approval, key executive pay and risks, and how to vote — details investors use to judge leadership, governance and potential changes that can affect share value.

rule 10b5-1 trading plan regulatory

A Rule 10b5-1 trading plan is a pre-arranged schedule that allows company insiders to buy or sell stock at specific times, even if they have inside information. It helps prevent accusations of unfair trading by making these transactions look planned and transparent, rather than sneaky or illegal.

ROUND ROCK, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Dell Technologies (NYSE: DELL) today announced that its Board of Directors has unanimously approved changing the jurisdiction of Dell Technologies’ state of incorporation from Delaware to its home state of Texas. The Board of Directors has recommended that Dell Technologies’ stockholders approve this redomestication at the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held on June 25, 2026.

The proposed redomestication would align Dell Technologies’ state of incorporation with its roots and long-standing center of operations. Michael Dell founded the company in Austin in 1984. Today, Dell’s global headquarters, chairman and chief executive officer, and the largest concentration of its U.S. workforce are all based in Texas. The redomestication will not affect business operations, management, strategy, assets, or employee locations.

“From my dorm room at the University of Texas in 1984 to our headquarters today in Round Rock, Texas has given Dell what every great company needs to grow — extraordinary talent, world-class research universities, and a business environment that lets us build for the long term,” said Michael Dell, chairman and CEO, Dell Technologies. “Texas is where Dell has innovated, expanded, and invested for more than four decades, and bringing our legal home to Texas reflects what we’ve been building here all along.”

A committee of the Board of Directors composed of independent and disinterested directors recommended the legal move to Texas. Information about the proposed redomestication is presented in the company’s preliminary proxy statement for the 2026 Annual Meeting of Stockholders filed today with the Securities and Exchange Commission and available through the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.
