Summary
Dell Technologies Inc. filed an 8-K on January 17, 2017, primarily to announce the date and format of its 2017 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The meeting is scheduled for June 26, 2017, and will be conducted as a completely virtual event via live webcast, allowing for online participation by stockholders. This filing also provides crucial deadlines for stockholders wishing to submit proposals for consideration at the annual meeting. For proposals intended for inclusion in the company's proxy statement under Rule 14a-8, the deadline is February 8, 2017. However, the company notes that due to the recent issuance of Class V Common Stock (September 7, 2016), it believes stockholders may not be able to meet all the requirements for submission under Rule 14a-8. For proposals to be considered at the meeting but not included in the proxy statement, the submission window is between March 17, 2017, and April 16, 2017. Investors should pay close attention to these dates and requirements if they intend to participate in company governance through proposals.
