• | our Annual Report for our fiscal year ended February 2, 2018, or Fiscal 2018, which includes our audited consolidated financial statements and which is our annual report to stockholders for the fiscal year. |
Q: | Why might I have received a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials instead of a full set of proxy materials? |
A: | As permitted by the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, we are furnishing proxy materials to many of our stockholders via the internet, rather than mailing printed copies of those materials to each stockholder. If you received a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials, or Notice, by mail, you will not receive a paper or e-mail copy of the proxy materials unless you request one. To request a printed or e-mail copy of the proxy materials (free of charge), you should follow the instructions included in the Notice. The Notice also provides instructions on how to access the proxy materials online, how to submit your proxy or voting instructions via the internet, by telephone or mail, and how to vote online at the annual meeting. |
Q: | Why did some stockholders not receive a Notice in the mail? |
A: | Some Dell Technologies stockholders, including stockholders who previously have requested to receive paper copies of the proxy materials, will receive paper copies of the proxy materials instead of a Notice. |
Q: | How do I access the proxy materials or request a paper or electronic copy of the materials if I received a Notice? |
A: | The Notice you received from Dell Technologies or your bank, brokerage firm or other nominee provides instructions regarding how to view Dell Technologies’ proxy materials for the annual meeting online. As explained in greater detail in the Notice, to view the proxy materials and submit your proxy or voting instructions, you will need to follow the instructions in your Notice and have available your 16 digit control number contained in your Notice. The proxy statement and Dell Technologies’ Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2018, which is our annual report to stockholders for the fiscal year, are also available electronically on our website at http://investors.delltechnologies.com under the News & Events – Events & Presentations section. |
Q: | What proposals will be voted on at the annual meeting? |
A: | Stockholders will vote on three proposals at the annual meeting: |
• | Proposal 1 - To elect to the Board of Directors the six director nominees specified in this proxy statement |
• | Proposal 2 - To ratify the appointment of PwC as Dell Technologies’ independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending February 1, 2019 |
• | Proposal 3 - To approve named executive officer compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement on a non-binding, advisory basis (Say-on-Pay) |

A: | The Board of Directors unanimously recommends that you vote your shares: |
• | “FOR” the election of each of the Board’s director nominees, as described in Proposal 1 |

• | “FOR” approval of named executive officer compensation as disclosed in this proxy statement on a non-binding, advisory basis, as described in Proposal 3 |
Q: | Who is entitled to vote at the annual meeting? |
A: | Holders of record of our Class A common stock, Class B common stock, Class C common stock and Class V common stock as of the close of business on April 26, 2018, which is the record date fixed by the Board of Directors, are entitled to vote their shares at the annual meeting. |
Q: | What constitutes a quorum for the annual meeting? |
A: | To conduct any business at the annual meeting, a quorum must be present in person or represented by valid proxies.

Q: | How many shares may be voted at the annual meeting? |

• | Class A common stock |
• | Class B common stock |

Q: | What is the difference between a “stockholder of record” and a “beneficial owner”? |
A: | Whether you are a “stockholder of record” or a “beneficial owner” with respect to your shares of Dell Technologies common stock depends on how you hold your shares: |
• | Stockholder of Record: If you hold shares directly in your name on records maintained by Dell Technologies’ transfer agent, American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC, you are considered the “stockholder of record” with respect to those shares, the proxy materials or Notice have been sent directly to you by Dell Technologies, and you may submit a proxy and vote those shares in the manner described in this proxy statement. |
• | Beneficial Owner: If your shares are held through a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee, you are considered the “beneficial owner” of shares held in “street name,” and these proxy materials (or a Notice, if applicable) are being forwarded to you by your nominee along with a voting instruction form. You may use the voting instruction form to direct your nominee on how to vote your shares, using one of the methods described on the voting instruction form. |
Q: | May I attend the annual meeting? What do I need in order to attend the meeting? |
A: | The annual meeting will be conducted completely online via the internet. Stockholders may attend and participate in the meeting by visiting www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/DVMT2018. To access the annual meeting, you will need the 16 digit control number included on your Notice, on your proxy card or on your voting instruction form. |
Q: | Why is the annual meeting a virtual, online meeting? |
A: | By conducting our annual meeting solely online via the internet, we eliminate many of the costs associated with a physical meeting. In addition, we anticipate that a virtual meeting will provide greater accessibility for stockholders, encourage stockholder participation from around the world, and improve our ability to communicate more effectively with our stockholders during the meeting. |
Q: | How may I vote my shares at the virtual annual meeting? |
A: | If you hold shares of Dell Technologies common stock as the stockholder of record or, if you have a valid proxy from the record holder to vote the shares, in street name as a beneficial owner, you have the right to vote those shares at the virtual annual meeting. If you choose to do so, please follow the instructions at www.virtualshareholdermeeting.com/DVMT2018 in order to vote or submit questions during the meeting. |
