Dell Technologies Inc. said Tuesday that it has obtained shareholder approval for its plan to buy back the tracking stock that's linked to its stake in VMware Inc. VMW, -2.51% . The plan will also take Dell public again. Dell expects the deal to close on Dec. 28 and that class C shares will begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange on that day under the ticker "DELL." Carl Icahn initially opposed the Dell buyout and filed a lawsuit against the company surrounding its merger plans.

Dell's class V shares dvmt are up 1.4% in Tuesday morning trading.
