Management Commentary and Risks
Michael S. Dell advised the Company that the conversion was made in connection with the anticipated future charitable donation of some or all of the Class C Common Stock. The issuance was made without registration in reliance on the exemption under Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933. No commission or remuneration was paid for soliciting the exchange. The filing notes that future conversions will likely rely on the same exemption.
