The Board of Directors of Dell Technologies announced on Monday, May 4, 2026, that they have unanimously approved recommending the company change its corporate domicile from Delaware to Texas.
Stockholders will vote on the proposed "redomestication" at the company's 2026 Annual Meeting, scheduled for June 25th.
The Board said the proposed redomestication would align Dell Technologies’ state of incorporation with its roots and long-standing center of operations. The company was founded in Austin by Michael Dell in 1984.
"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."
The Texas Business Court was established in 2024, and the Texas legislature has approved a number of business friendly laws over the past two years.
If approved by shareholders, the move will allow Dell to adopt new, stricter Texas laws regarding shareholder proposals and lawsuit thresholds.
