(b) On September 20, 2023, Simon Patterson, a director of Dell Technologies Inc. (the “Company”), notified the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) of his intention to resign from the Board effective September 26, 2023.
(d) On September 22, 2023, upon the recommendation of its Nominating and Governance Committee, the Board appointed Mr. Steven M. Mollenkopf to the Board effective September 27, 2023. Mr. Mollenkopf will serve as a Group I director with a term expiring at the annual meeting of the Company’s stockholders to be held in 2024 or until his successor is elected and qualified.
Mr. Mollenkopf, age 54, served as the Chief Executive Officer of Qualcomm Incorporated (“Qualcomm”), an engineering-driven, high-technology manufacturing company and a global leader in the development and commercialization of foundational technologies for the wireless industry, from 2014 to 2021. Mr. Mollenkopf began his career at Qualcomm as an engineer over 25 years ago, and has held several leadership roles at Qualcomm prior to being named Chief Executive Officer, including President, Chief Operating Officer, and head of QCT, Qualcomm’s chipset business. He is currently Senior Advisor to Consello Group, a financial services advisory and strategic investing platform. Mr. Mollenkopf has served as a director of The Boeing Company, a leading global aerospace firm, since 2020.
The Board has determined that Mr. Mollenkopf qualifies as an independent director in accordance with the requirements of the New York Stock Exchange. At the time of this current report, the Board has not determined any committees of the Board to which Mr. Mollenkopf may be named.
Mr. Mollenkopf will participate in the Company’s compensation program for its independent directors as set forth in the Amended and Restated Dell Technologies Inc. Compensation Program for Independent Non-Employee Directors, which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and is described in the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A for its 2023 annual meeting of stockholders, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 10, 2023. Under the program, Mr. Mollenkopf is entitled to receive, for his initial year of service, a cash retainer in the amount of $100,000 and an equity retainer with a value of $225,000 in the form of restricted stock units that settle in shares of the Company’s Class C common stock under the Company’s 2023 Stock Incentive Plan. In accordance with the program, Mr. Mollenkopf has the option to elect to receive his cash retainer in the form of deferred stock units or shares of Class C common stock and his equity retainer in the form of deferred stock units. As applicable, the total number of restricted stock units, deferred stock units or shares of Class C common stock will be determined based on the closing price of the Class C common stock as reported on the New York Stock Exchange on September 28, 2023.
The Company has entered into an indemnification agreement with Mr. Mollenkopf pursuant to the Company’s form of director indemnification agreement, a copy of which has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
