This information, including the exhibit(s) hereto, shall not be deemed "filed" for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), or incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference in such a filing.

Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.



On November 19, 2019, Pure's Board of Directors (the "Board") approved the
appointment of Kevan Krysler, age 48, to become Pure's Chief Financial Officer,
effective on or before December 9, 2019.
Mr. Krysler currently serves as Senior Vice President of Finance, and Chief
Accounting Officer of VMware, Inc., a provider of information infrastructure
technology and solutions. Prior to joining VMware in August 2013, Mr. Krysler
was a partner with KPMG, a multinational accounting organization, where he
served both multi-national and emerging software and technology companies.
In connection with his appointment, Pure entered into an agreement with Mr.
Krysler describing the terms of his employment (the "Employment Agreement").
Under the Employment Agreement, Mr. Krysler will receive an initial annual base
salary of $450,000. In addition, Mr. Krysler will be eligible for an annual
performance-based cash bonus, with a target amount equal to 80% of his base
salary, based on performance measures set and being satisfied, as determined by
the Compensation Committee of the Board. In addition, Mr. Krysler will receive a
one-time signing bonus of $1,000,000; provided that if Mr. Krysler's employment
is terminated for any reason other than a layoff within the first 12 months of
service, such amount must be repaid at a prorated rate based on months of
service prior to his termination date.
Pursuant to the Employment Agreement and our 2015 Equity Incentive Plan, Pure
will grant Mr. Krysler a restricted stock unit award to acquire a number of
shares of Pure's Class A common stock equal to $8,000,000 divided by the prior
30-calendar day average of the closing price of Pure's Class A common stock,
ending on the day prior to the date on which the grant is made and rounded down
to the nearest whole share (the "RSU Award"), which will vest and settle as to
25% of the RSU Award in December 2020, with the remaining RSU Award to vest in
equal quarterly installments over the subsequent 12 quarters, subject to Mr.
Krysler's continuous service. Mr. Krysler will be eligible to participate in
Pure's Change in Control Severance Benefit Plan, which was filed as Exhibit
10.13 to Pure's Annual Report on Form 10-K (File No. 001-37570) filed with the
Securities and Exchange Commission on March 26, 2019 (the "Annual Report"). The
foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the
Employment Agreement, which will be filed as an exhibit to Pure's Quarterly
Report on Form 10-Q for the period ending October 31, 2019.
Except for his Employment Agreement, there is no arrangement or understanding
between Mr. Krysler and any other person pursuant to which Mr. Krysler was
selected as an officer. Mr. Krysler is not a party to any transaction required
to be disclosed pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. In connection with
his appointment, Mr. Krysler will execute Pure's standard form of indemnity
agreement for officers, which was filed as Exhibit 10.9 to the Annual Report.
