2015 Equity Incentive Plan
The 2015

automatic increase, or a lesser number of shares determined by the Pure Storage board of directors. Accordingly, on February 1, 2016, the number of shares of Class A common stock reserved under the 2015 Plan increased by an additional
9,525,472 shares (or 5% of the outstanding shares of common stock as of January 31, 2016).

outstanding on the last day of the calendar month prior to the date of the automatic increase, and (2) 3,500,000 shares; provided that prior to the date of any such increase, the Pure Storage board of directors may determine that such
