Item 8.01 Other Events.

The Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Board of Directors of Nutanix, Inc. (the “Company”), following its annual review of executive compensation, approved fiscal year 2026 annual base salaries, annual incentive targets and annual equity grants for the Company’s executive officers: (i) Rajiv Ramaswami, the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer, (ii) Rukmini Sivaraman, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, and (iii) Brian Martin, the Company’s Chief Legal Officer.

Fiscal Year 2026 Annual Base Salaries

The Compensation Committee resolved to make no changes to the annual base salaries for Mr. Ramaswami, Ms. Sivaraman, and Mr. Martin.

Fiscal Year 2026 Annual Incentive Targets

Mr. Ramaswami, Ms. Sivaraman, and Mr. Martin will continue to participate in the Company's Executive Incentive Compensation Plan. Their fiscal year 2026 annual incentive targets under the Executive Incentive Compensation Plan are as follows:


Name	Annual Incentive Target	Equivalent Dollar Amount*
Rajiv Ramaswami	100% of annual base salary	$800,000
Rukmini Sivaraman	100% of annual base salary	$520,000
Brian Martin	75% of annual base salary	$356,250

* The equivalent dollar amounts are calculated based upon the applicable executive officer’s annual base salary in effect as of August 1, 2025.

Fiscal Year 2026 Annual Equity Awards

On November 10, 2025, Mr. Ramaswami, Ms. Sivaraman and Mr. Martin were each granted an annual equity award under the Company’s 2016 Equity Incentive Plan, with 50% of the award consisting of time-based restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and 50% of the award consisting of performance-based restricted stock units (“PRSUs”):


Name	Time-Based RSUs Granted	Target Number of PRSUs Granted
Rajiv Ramaswami	141,283	141,283
Rukmini Sivaraman	54,339	54,339
Brian Martin	30,430	30,430

Each RSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Company’s Class A common stock upon vesting. The RSUs will vest in 16 equal quarterly installments, with the first quarterly installment to vest on December 15, 2025, subject to continued service to the Company through each vesting date.

Each PRSU represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Company’s Class A common stock upon vesting, provided that the actual number of PRSUs that may vest may be more or less than the target number of PRSUs. The PRSUs will be eligible to vest in up to three installments based on the total shareholder return of the Company (“Company TSR”) during each of the following performance periods (each, a “Performance Period”) relative to the total shareholder return of companies in the NASDAQ Composite Index (the “Indexed Companies”): (i) August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2026 (“Performance Period One”); (ii) August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2027 (“Performance Period Two”); and (iii) August 1, 2025 to July 31, 2028 (“Performance Period Three”). PRSUs that become eligible to vest based on performance for a Performance Period vest on September 15 following the Performance Period, subject to continued service to the Company through the vesting date. The total number of PRSUs that will be eligible to vest range from 0% to 200% (the “Achievement Percentage”) of the target number of PRSUs, except that the Achievement Percentage is capped at 100% for Performance Period One and Performance Period Two. Up to 1/3 of the PRSUs will be eligible to vest as a result of performance for each of Performance Period One and Performance Period Two. The Achievement Percentage of the target number of PRSUs that may vest are (i) 0% if Company TSR ranks below the 25th percentile of the Indexed Companies, (ii) 50% if Company TSR ranks at the 25th percentile of the Indexed Companies, (iii) 100% if Company TSR ranks at the 50th percentile of the Indexed Companies, and (iv) 200% if Company TSR ranks at the 75th percentile of the Indexed Companies. If Company TSR ranks between these percentile thresholds, the Achievement Percentage of the target number of PRSUs that may vest is determined using linear interpolation. 100% of the PRSUs (as may be increased as a result of any Achievement Percentage in excess of target) will be eligible to vest with respect to Performance Period Three, less any PRSUs that already vested in Performance Period One and Performance Period Two.
