The pace of announcements has slowed a bit since the last update. My list now has 36 entries, five more since the last update. We have also had some significant vote results come in.

Here is an updated sheet with everything I’ve collected so far. I’ve also had Claude generate some graphics.

Origin & Destination

Although I’ve been looking closely at the companies coming to Nevada or Texas to understand trends, I hadn’t closely looked at the companies going to Delaware to see if I could discern any patterns yet. The five companies picking Delaware so far this year are:

  • LQR House (NV –> DE)
  • Cheetah Net (NC –> DE)
  • EQV Ventures (Cayman –> DE)
  • Haymaker Acquisition Corp. 4 (Cayman –> DE)
  • NL Industries (NJ –> DE)

EQV Ventures and Haymaker are both de-SPACs from the Caymans to Delaware. I haven’t excluded them from the data set at this point, but if you put them to the side, we’re looking at 34 reincorporations with Texas at 15, Nevada at 12, and Delaware at 3, and the Caymans at 3.

Movement Over Time

This is a neat visualization. The first four announcements in the dataset are all late 2025 with votes happening in 2026.

Different Visualization on Origin & Destination

This visualization captures a big difference between Texas and Nevada. Texas has been picking up corporations from different places while Nevada has only picked up companies leaving Delaware.

Redomiciliation Count vs. Market Cap

This is another fun comparison. Texas and Nevada have the bulk of the movement and the money in terms of rough market cap. Of course, Exxon and Dell account for over 85% of the overall market cap here. Exxon is just a big one.

Approval Margins

Here, the approval margins are calculated as votes in favor as a percentage of votes cast. This chart does not include the moves via written consent.

I can refine my numbers after this for the next update. In contrast to my little chart here, Exxon’s 8-K shows Exxon as having secured 71.2% of the vote and this chart shows them at 61%. The difference is because Exxon calculated the percentage of votes in favor vs. against–as it should have. At the time, Exxon was a New Jersey corporation and New Jersey’s law runs on votes actually cast at a meeting. Delaware runs off of a majority of the outstanding equity so it’s going to be a higher hurdle.

How you calculate these percentages changes how we see what’s happening. My chart lumps abstentions and broker non votes together even though many companies break them out separately. I’m going to need to go back and update the chart to include total equity outstanding as a separate column after this.
