The plaintiff alleges on behalf of the shareholders, who purchased Pure Storage (NYSE:PSTG) common shares pursuant or traceable to its initial public offering ("IPO") on October 7, 2015 that the defendants violated the Securities Act of 1933.

More specifically, the plaintiff alleges that  Pure Storage Inc failed to disclose and misrepresented that at the time of the IPO its sales personnel had aggressively pulled sales forward into the quarters prior to the IPO, resulting in reduced sales in the quarters ending after its IPO, that at the time of the IPO general trends in the IT market, as well as Pure Storage's own historical sales trends, demonstrated that its first quarter 2017 sales growth for the quarter ending April 30, 2016, would be significantly lower than prior quarters, and that at the time of the IPO its concomitant increases in sales and marketing and general and administrative expenses were not one-time expenses attributable to increasing the size of its sales force and sales footprint, but would continue in perpetuity.
