Jun 12, 2024

Charlie Giancarlo
CEO, Pure Storage

Kevan Krysler, our Chief Financial Officer, and Niki Armstrong, our Chief Administrative and Legal Officer and Corporate Secretary. Niki will act as Secretary of the Meeting. We're pleased to be joined here today by members of our Board of Directors, including Andy Brown, Scott Dietzen, John Murphy, Jeff Rothschild, Roxanne Taylor, Sue Taylor, Greg Tomb, and Mallun Yen. We're also joined by Tina Sunseri and Matt Pullen representing our independent public accountants, Deloitte & Touche. Tina will be available to respond to questions during the Q&A. This meeting is being held by live webcast, which enables safe and broad stockholder access and participation. All of our stockholders are able to participate and to submit questions online. The Q&A portal is open, and we will address questions at the end of the meeting.

The rules of conduct for this meeting are available by clicking on the Materials button on the bottom right of your screen on the web portal. In order to conduct an orderly meeting, we ask that all participants follow these rules. Thank you again for joining us. I will now turn the meeting over to Niki Armstrong, who will conduct the official business.

Niki Armstrong
Chief Administrative and Legal Officer, Pure Storage

Thank you, Charlie. Notice of this meeting has been given in accordance with the company's bylaws and applicable law. The company's agents have certified that notice of this meeting and availability of the proxy materials was sent to stockholders of record as of April 17th, 2024. Copies of the notice and related affidavit will be kept with the meeting minutes. Next, I would like to introduce the Inspector of Elections for today's meeting, Leah Grant, a representative of Broadridge Financial Solutions. The Inspector of Elections has executed an oath of office, which will be kept with the meeting minutes. Only stockholders of record as of April 17th, 2024, are entitled to vote at today's meeting. The polls are open for voting on the items of business.

You may cast your vote now by clicking on the voting button in the web portal, provided you access the meeting as a stockholder using the control number you previously received. If you have previously voted by proxy and do not wish to change your vote, your vote will be cast as you previously instructed, and no further action is needed. If you wish to change your vote and wish to recast your vote, or if you have not already cast your vote, you may cast your vote now. The polls will close shortly after the review of the proxy proposals. The Inspector of Elections has informed us that a majority of the shares entitled to vote are represented at today's meeting, either in person or by proxy. Therefore, a quorum is present, and this meeting is duly constituted.

Today's stockholders will vote on the three proposals described in the proxy statement dated May 3rd, 2024. In Proposal One, the Board of Directors has nominated for election three Class III directors to serve until our annual meeting of stockholders in 2027. The directors nominated for election are Jeff Rothschild, Susan Taylor, and Mallun Yen. In Proposal Two, the Board of Directors is proposing to ratify the selection of Deloitte & Touche as the company's independent registered public accounting firm for this fiscal year, ending February 2nd, 2025. In Proposal Three, the Board of Directors is proposing to consider an advisory vote on the compensation of our named executive officers, as described in the proxy statement. The Board of Directors recommends that stockholders vote for each of Proposals One, Two, and Three. A detailed description of each proposal was provided in the proxy statement.

As a reminder, if you have previously voted by proxy and do not wish to change your vote, your vote will be cast as you previously instructed, and no further action is needed. If you wish to change your vote and wish to recast your vote, or if you have not already cast your vote, you may cast your vote now by clicking on the voting button in the web portal, provided you have access to meeting as a stockholder using the control number you previously received. We will now pause briefly to allow for any final voting. You need to have completed your electronic ballot by now so we can ensure that your votes will be counted. It is 8:35 A.M. Pacific Time, and the polls are now closed.

The Inspector of Elections has provided me with a preliminary report summarizing the voting on the proposals, and we expect to publicly report the final voting results on our Form 8-K filed with the SEC. We will ask the Inspector of Elections to execute a report after the final tabulation of the votes that will be kept with the meeting minutes. This concludes the official business for our 2024 annual meeting of stockholders. I will now turn the time back over to Charlie.
