The transactions were executed in accordance with the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, meaning no registration was required for the issuance, and no commission was paid for the exchange. Dell Technologies anticipates that any future conversions of Class B to Class C stock will also be completed without registration, relying on the same exemption.
