Dell Technologies 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.

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.
