ROUND ROCK, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#DellTechnologies Inc. (NYSE: DVMT) announced its board of directors has approved a new stock repurchase program under which the company is authorized to repurchase up to $500 million of shares of the company’s Class V common stock over a period of six months, using assets of the company’s Class V Group. At the same time, the Dell Technologies board of directors approved the suspension of the previously reported DHI Group repurchase program, under which the company was authorized to repurchase up to $1 billion of shares of the company’s Class V common stock over a period of two years, using assets of the company’s DHI Group. Before its suspension, the company had repurchased approximately $324 million of Class V common stock under the DHI Group program.
