ORGANIZATION

Organization and Description of Business—Nutanix, Inc. was incorporated in the state of Delaware in September 2009. Nutanix, Inc. is headquartered in San Jose, California, and together with its wholly-owned subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) has operations throughout North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, Middle East, Latin America and Africa.

The Company’s enterprise cloud operating system converges traditional silos of server, virtualization, storage and networking into one integrated solution and unifies private and public cloud into a single software fabric. The Company primarily sells its products and services to end-customers through distributors, resellers and original equipment manufacturers (collectively “Partners”).

During the first quarter of fiscal 2017, the Company completed two acquisitions, Calm.io Pte. Ltd. (“Calm”) and PernixData, Inc. (“PernixData”) (see Note 3).

Initial Public Offering—In October 2016, the Company completed its initial public offering (“IPO”) of Class A common stock, in which it sold 17,100,500 shares, including 2,230,500 shares pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option. The shares were sold at an IPO price of $16.00 per share for net proceeds of $254.5 million, after deducting underwriting discounts and commissions of $19.2 million. Additionally, offering costs incurred by the Company totaled $5.3 million. Immediately prior to the closing of the Company’s IPO, all outstanding shares of common stock were reclassified as Class B common stock, and all outstanding shares of its convertible preferred stock automatically converted into 76,319,511 shares of common stock on a one-to-one basis and then reclassified as shares of Class B common stock. Following the IPO, the Company has two classes of authorized common stock, Class A common stock, which entitles holders to one vote per share, and Class B common stock which entitles holders to 10 votes per share.
