[144] Pure Storage, Inc. SEC Filing

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

PSTG – Form 144 filing dated 07/31/2025 discloses a proposed sale of 163,925 common shares of Pure Storage, Inc. through Morgan Stanley Smith Barney on the NYSE. At the 07/30/2025 closing price implied by the filing, the transaction is valued at ≈ $9.71 million. The shares represent roughly 0.05 % of the company’s 326.8 million shares outstanding.

The shares were originally acquired on 10 Oct 2009 as “Founders Shares.” The seller plans to rely on Rule 10b5-1 and affirms possession of no undisclosed material information.

Recent activity: trusts identified as “THE COLGROVE FAM CHARITABLE REM TR” and “THE COLGROVE FAM LIVING TR” executed five 10b5-1 trades over the past three months, selling a combined 301,251 shares for ≈ $17.28 million.

Investor take-away: The filing signals continued insider monetization but involves a small fraction of outstanding equity. While not dilutive, the size and cadence of sales could modestly pressure near-term sentiment.

Positive

• None.

Negative

• Founding family–linked entities plan to sell 163,925 shares (~$9.7 m) after unloading 301,251 shares (~$17.3 m) in the prior three months, signaling continued insider selling.

Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR – Small but steady insider sales; marginal downward sentiment risk.

The notice covers 163.9 k shares (~$9.7 m) to be sold by entities linked to the founding family. Coupled with the prior 301 k-share divestiture in the last quarter, total cash raised tops $27 m in nine months. Although the absolute stake is immaterial to the float, repetitive 10b5-1 activity can act as an overhang when investor conviction depends on accelerating subscription revenue. No operational data is provided; therefore, fundamental value is unchanged. I view the impact as slightly negative given the optics of founder-related selling.

Corporate Governance Expert

TL;DR – Routine Rule 144 disclosure; governance controls appear intact.

The seller utilizes a 10b5-1 plan, reducing litigation risk and signaling compliance discipline. Filing language reaffirms no possession of MNPI. Size is below 1 % of daily volume, limiting market impact. Continuous diversification by long-tenured insiders is expected as the firm matures. I classify the event as neutral-to-minor; it warrants monitoring but does not indicate governance stress.
