Chase Coleman's hedge fund firm Tiger Global has submitted various SEC filings recently pertaining to their stake in Pure Storage (PSTG). 

Per a Form 4 filed with the SEC, Tiger Global sold over 3.27 million shares of Pure Storage on April 4th at a price of $13.75. 

After the transactions, Tiger Global owns 2% of the company, or 1 million shares per the additional 13G they disclosed.  Back at the end of 2015, they previously owned 5.24 million shares of PSTG per their 13F filing. 

In a previous Form 4 filed with the SEC in March, Tiger indicated it had converted its 4.2 million Class B shares into Class A shares on a 1:1 basis.

This yet another example of one of Tiger Global's private investments that has gone public (PSTG IPO'd in the fourth quarter of last year).
