MENLO PARK, CA – Regulatory filings reveal that Silver Lake Partners IV, L.P., an entity closely tied to the Silver Lake Group, and Egon Durban, a director at Dell Technologies Inc. (NASDAQ:DELL), executed a substantial divestment of Dell Class C Common Stock. The transaction, valued at approximately $32.5 million, was finalized on June 4, 2026. The sale encompassed 74,425 shares, which were liquidated at market prices fluctuating between $401.37 and $421.08 per share. The filing indicates that the sales were conducted by Silver Lake Partners IV, L.P., with the activity reported by Silver Lake Group, L.L.C., Silver Lake Technology Associates IV, L.P., SLTA IV (GP), L.L.C., and Egon Durban. Durban serves as a director at Dell Technologies, while also holding the positions of Co-CEO and Managing Member at Silver Lake Group, L.L.C. The reporting obligation stems from their indirect beneficial ownership interests.

This conversion was explicitly linked to the reported sales and in-kind distributions as outlined in the regulatory documentation.
