Dell Technologies reports conversion of Class B to Class C shares by Silver Lake

Dell Technologies Inc. (NYSE:DELL), currently valued at $85.32 billion, reported that on June 9, June 10, June 11, June 12, June 26, and July 10, 2025, the company issued a total of 3,421,793 shares of its Class C common stock following the conversion of an equal number of Class B common stock shares. The conversions were made by SL SPV-2, L.P., Silver Lake Partners IV, L.P., Silver Lake Technology Investors IV, L.P., Silver Lake Partners V DE (AIV), L.P., and Silver Lake Technology Investors V, L.P. According to InvestingPro data, management has been actively managing the company’s share structure, including aggressive share buybacks.

As of July 11, 2025, Dell Technologies had 340,673,002 shares of Class C common stock and 58,946,330 shares of Class B common stock outstanding. The company’s certificate of incorporation allows holders of Class B common stock to convert their shares to Class C common stock on a one-to-one basis at any time. Shares of Class B common stock are also automatically convertible into Class C common stock under certain transfer circumstances described in the company’s certificate of incorporation. Both classes of shares carry the same dividend and liquidation rights.

The issuance of the Class C shares was made without registration, relying on the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933. The company stated that no commission or other remuneration was paid or given for soliciting the exchange of these securities. Dell Technologies expects that any future conversions of Class B to Class C shares will also be conducted under this exemption.

This information is based on a press release statement included in the company’s Form 8-K filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
