Item 5.07.     Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

On June 14, 2023, Pure Storage, Inc. ("Pure") held its annual meeting of stockholders via a live webcast (the "Annual Meeting"). At the Annual Meeting, Pure’s stockholders voted on four proposals, each of which is described in more detail in the definitive proxy statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on May 5, 2023. The following is a brief description of each matter voted on and the certified results, including the number of votes cast for and against each matter, and if applicable, the number of abstentions and broker non-votes with respect to each matter.

1.    All three nominees for Class II director were elected to serve until Pure’s 2026 annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are elected and qualified. The voting results were as follows:

Director Name	Votes For	Votes Withheld	Broker Non-Votes
Andrew Brown	234,722,256	11,561,302	37,519,080
John Colgrove	234,376,471	11,907,087	37,519,080
Roxanne Taylor	163,900,992	82,382,566	37,519,080

2.    Stockholders ratified the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP as Pure’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending February 4, 2024. The voting results were as follows:

Votes For	Votes Against	Abstentions
281,662,588	2,051,597	88,453

3.    Stockholders approved, on an advisory basis, the compensation of Pure’s named executive officers, as described in the definitive proxy statement. The voting results were as follows:

Votes For	Votes Against	Abstentions	Broker Non-Votes
231,579,307	14,324,096	380,155	37,519,080

4.     Stockholders approved, on an advisory basis, that future advisory votes regarding the compensation of Pure’s named executive officers should be held every one year. The voting results were as follows:

One Year	Two Years	Three Years	Broker Non-Votes
243,846,814	136,420	2,166,127	37,653,277

In light of the voting results and other factors, Pure’s board of directors determined that the company will include a stockholder vote on the compensation of executives in its proxy materials every year until the next vote on the frequency of stockholder votes on the compensation of executives, which shall be no later than Pure's annual meeting of stockholders in 2029.
