Michael Dell is taking steps to donate Dell Technologies Inc. shares worth as much as $1.74 billion.

Dell converted 25 million shares owned by him and a trust in the name of his wife from unlisted Class A to listed Class C stock on Dec. 1, the company said Tuesday in a filing. The conversion was done in anticipation of a “future charitable donation of some or all of the shares,” according to the filing.
