What is the purpose of the new Dell Technologies Inc. 2023 Stock Incentive Plan?

The 2023 Stock Incentive Plan is designed to provide Dell Technologies with a flexible framework for granting equity-based compensation to its employees and other eligible individuals. This can include stock options, restricted stock units (RSUs), and other awards, which are intended to align the interests of recipients with those of shareholders and to attract and retain key talent.

How many shares are available under the new stock incentive plan?

The plan authorizes 50,000,000 shares of Class C common stock for issuance. This amount is in addition to any shares that remained available under the previous stock incentive plan and any shares that were subject to outstanding awards under the prior plan but subsequently expired or terminated.

What were the results of the advisory vote on executive compensation?

The advisory vote on the compensation of Dell's named executive officers received significant support from stockholders. The company will continue to hold an advisory vote on executive compensation annually ('every 1 year') based on the preference indicated by the stockholders.

Were there any significant changes to the Board of Directors resulting from the annual meeting?

The 2023 annual meeting resulted in the election of all seven Group I director nominees and the Group IV director nominee, Ellen J. Kullman, to the Board of Directors. This indicates continuity in the board's composition rather than significant immediate changes.
