Item 3.03. Material Modification to Rights of Security Holders.
On January 3, 2022, all outstanding shares of Class B common stock, par value
$0.000025 per share (the "Class B common stock"), of Nutanix, Inc. (the
"Company") automatically converted into the same number of shares of the
Company's Class A common stock, par value $0.000025 per share (the "Class A
common stock"), pursuant to the terms of the Company's Amended and Restated
Certificate of Incorporation (the "Certificate of Incorporation"). No additional
shares of Class B common stock will be issued following such conversion.
The conversion occurred pursuant to Article IV, Section 4.3(c)(2)(A) of the
Certificate of Incorporation, which provides that each share of Class B common
stock will automatically, without any further action, convert into one share of
Class A common stock upon the date specified by the affirmative vote of the
holders of at least sixty-seven percent of the outstanding shares of Class B
common stock, voting as a single class. Holders of at least sixty-seven percent
of the outstanding shares of Class B common stock acted by written consent in
lieu of a meeting to affirmatively vote for such conversion effective as of
January 3, 2022 at 12:01 a.m., New York City time. Following the conversion, the
Class A common stock continues to be listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market
under the ticker symbol "NTNX" and maintains the same CUSIP number previously
assigned to the Class A common stock.
In addition, in accordance with Article IV, Section 4.3(f) of the Certificate of
Incorporation, and as required by Section 243 of the General Corporation Law of
the State of Delaware (the "DGCL"), on January 4, 2022, the Company filed a
certificate with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware effecting the
retirement of the shares of Class B common stock that were issued but no longer
outstanding following the conversion (the "Certificate of Retirement"). Pursuant
to Section 243 of the DGCL, the filing of the Certificate of Retirement had the
effect of amending the Certificate of Incorporation such that, upon the
effectiveness of the filing of the Certificate of Retirement, the Company's
total number of authorized shares of capital stock has been reduced by the
number of retired shares of Class B common stock.
The conversion had the following effects, among others, on the holders of shares
of Class B common stock:
Voting Power. Prior to the conversion, holders of shares of Class B common stock
were entitled to cast ten votes for each such share held by them on any matter
submitted to a vote of the Company's stockholders on which the holders of Class
B common stock are entitled to vote. As a result of the conversion, all former
holders of shares of Class B common stock are now holders of shares of Class A
common stock, which is entitled to one vote per share on any matter submitted to
a vote of the Company's stockholders on which the holders of Class A common
stock are entitled to vote. In addition, the provisions of the Certificate of
Incorporation and Delaware law that entitled the holders of shares of Class A
common stock and Class B common stock, in certain circumstances, to separate
class voting rights are no longer applicable as a result of the conversion.
Economic Interests. Because holders of shares of Class A common stock are
entitled to the same economic interests to which former holders of shares of
Class B common stock were entitled before the conversion, the conversion had no
impact on the economic interests of former holders of shares of Class B common
stock.
Capitalization. The conversion had no impact on the total number of the
Company's outstanding shares of capital stock, as the shares of Class B common
stock converted into an equivalent number of shares of Class A common stock.
Equity Incentive Plans. Upon the conversion, outstanding options that were
previously denominated in shares of Class B common stock and issued under the
Company's equity incentive plans remained unchanged, except that they now
represent the right to receive shares of Class A common stock.
Item 5.03 Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal
Year.
As described under Item 3.03, on January 4, 2022, the Company filed the
Certificate of Retirement with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware
to retire the shares of Class B common stock that were issued but no longer
outstanding following the conversion.
The foregoing description of the Certificate of Retirement is a summary only and
is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of (i) the
Certificate of Retirement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 3.1 hereto,
and (ii) the Certificate of Incorporation, a copy of which is incorporated by
reference herein as Exhibit 3.2 hereto, and both of which are incorporated by
reference into this Item 5.03.

The information contained in Item 3.03 is incorporated herein by reference.
