Item 3.03 Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
(a) The information set forth under Item 5.03 and Item 8.01 of this report is incorporated by reference in this Item 3.03.
On June 29, 2022, the Third Amended and Restated Bylaws of Dell Technologies Inc. (the “Amended Bylaws”) became effective as of the effectiveness on the same date of the Sixth Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of Dell Technologies Inc. (the “Sixth Amended and Restated Certificate”), as described under Item
8.01 of this report. The Amended Bylaws amended and restated the Second Amended and Restated Bylaws of Dell Technologies Inc. (the “prior bylaws”), which had been in effect as the bylaws of Dell Technologies Inc. (the “Company”) since December 28, 2018.
The Amended Bylaws effected the following amendments (the “Bylaw
Amendments”) to the prior bylaws:
•Section 2.03 of the prior bylaws, which set forth the notice and information to be delivered to the Company and other procedures to be followed by a stockholder wishing to nominate persons for election to the Board of Directors or to propose other business at a meeting of stockholders, was amended to provide for the following, among other amendments:
•the number of nominees that may be nominated for election to the Board of Directors at a meeting of stockholders shall not
exceed the number of directors to be elected at the meeting;
•the stockholder’s notice shall include information about, among other additional matters: (i) any shares of any class or series of the Company’s capital stock to which the stockholder (or beneficial holder, if any, on whose behalf the proposal is made) or any of their respective affiliates or associates has the right to acquire beneficial ownership at any time in the future; (ii) any agreements, arrangements or understandings relating to any compensation or payments to be paid to any proposed nominees or otherwise pertaining to the proposed nominations or other proposed business; (iii) any proxy (subject to exception), agreement, arrangement, understanding or relationship pursuant to which the stockholder or beneficial
owner has or shares a right to vote any shares of any class or series of the Company’s capital stock; (iv) any rights to dividends or distributions on the shares of any class or series of the Company’s capital stock owned beneficially by the stockholder or beneficial owner that are separated or separable from the underlying shares; (v) any performance-related fees (other than an asset-based fee) that the stockholder or beneficial owner is entitled to receive based on any increase or decrease in the value of shares of any class or series of the Company’s capital stock; and (vi) the names and addresses of other stockholders (including beneficial owners) known by the proposing stockholder to support the nomination
or other business proposal and, to the extent known, the class or series of the Company’s capital stock, and the number of shares of each such class or series, owned beneficially or of record by such other stockholders or other beneficial owners; and
•a proposed nominee for election to the Board of Directors, or a person on such nominee’s behalf, shall deliver to the Company within the specified notice period (i) a completed and signed questionnaire with respect to the background and qualification of the proposed nominee and the background of any other person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made and (ii) a written representation and agreement that the proposed nominee (a)
is not and shall not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with, and has not given any commitment or assurance to, any person or entity as to how such proposed nominee, if elected as a director, shall act or vote on any issue or question (a “voting commitment”) that has not been disclosed to the Company, or any voting commitment that could limit or interfere with such proposed nominee’s fiduciary duties under applicable law, (b) is not and shall not become a party to any agreement, arrangement or understanding with any person or entity other than the Company with respect to any direct or indirect compensation, reimbursement or indemnification in connection with service or action as a director that has not been disclosed to the
Company, and (c) in the proposed nominee’s individual capacity and on behalf of any person or entity on whose behalf the nomination is being made, would be in compliance, if elected as a director, and shall comply with, all applicable publicly disclosed corporate governance, code of conduct and ethics, conflict of interest, confidentiality, corporate opportunities, trading and any other policies and guidelines of the Company applicable to directors.
•The prior bylaws also were amended to eliminate provisions that had ceased to be applicable or effective as of the closing on December 28, 2018 of the transaction (the “Class V transaction”)
in which the Company paid $14 billion of cash and issued 149,387,617 shares of its Class C common stock in exchange for all outstanding shares of its Class V common stock, in a manner consistent with such amendments effected to the Company’s certificate of incorporation by the Sixth Amended and Restated Certificate. The superseded provisions eliminated by the Bylaw Amendments included those in Articles II, III and IV of the prior bylaws referring to director groups that were replaced as of December
28, 2018 by the director groups currently in effect, and provisions in Article IV of the prior bylaws relating
2
to the Capital Stock Committee of the Board of Directors, which ceased to operate upon the retirement of all outstanding Class V common stock at the closing of the Class V transaction.
In addition, the Bylaw Amendments implemented technical and administrative changes to the prior bylaws, including changes related to and consistent
with the foregoing amendments.
The foregoing description of the Bylaw Amendments is qualified in all respects by reference to the text of the Amended Bylaws, which is filed as Exhibit 3.2 to this report and incorporated by reference in this Item 5.03.
The information set forth under Item 8.01 of this report is incorporated by reference in this Item 5.03.
