Routine family trust gifts and updated Pure Storage insider holdings.

The filing shows John Colgrove, a director and Chief Visionary Officer of Pure Storage, Inc., reporting two gift transactions of 100,000 Class A shares each on January 7, 2026. Both are coded "G" for gifts at a stated per-share price of $0 and are reported as held indirectly by trusts, aligning with estate or family planning rather than economic selling.

The narrative footnotes clarify that these shares are held by the VCF Trust and other family trusts whose beneficiaries include members of Colgrove's immediate and extended family. Following the reported transactions, he lists 6,463,496 shares held directly and several million more held indirectly via named trusts. This is primarily a reallocation and disclosure of ownership across family entities, so it is generally interpreted as administrative and neutral from an investment thesis standpoint.
