Dell board unanimously recommends redomestication from Delaware to Texas
Dell Technologies Inc. (NYSE: DELL) announced that its board of directors has unanimously approved a proposal to change the company's state of incorporation from Delaware to Texas. The board recommended that stockholders approve the redomestication at the company's annual meeting scheduled for June 25, 2026.
The proposed change would align Dell's legal jurisdiction with its operational headquarters in Round Rock, Texas. Michael Dell founded the company in Austin in 1984, and the company's global headquarters, chief executive officer, and largest U.S. workforce concentration are currently based in Texas.
The redomestication will not affect business operations, management strategy, assets, or employee locations, according to the company's statement. A committee of independent directors recommended the legal move to Texas.
"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," said Michael Dell, chairman and CEO.
Dell filed a preliminary proxy statement for the 2026 annual meeting with the Securities and Exchange Commission containing information about the proposed redomestication. The company will file a definitive proxy statement that will be sent to stockholders ahead of the meeting.
The announcement represents a continuation of a trend among corporations reconsidering their state of incorporation, with Texas emerging as an alternative to Delaware for some companies seeking different regulatory environments.
