    Storage memory solutions company Fusion-io this morning announced that it has filed a registration statement with the SEC for a proposed follow-on public offering of shares of its common stock.

    The company proposes to sell, from time to time, up to $350 million of its common stock, approximately $100 million of which would be sold by Fusion-io and the rest by its shareholders.

    Fusion-io says the remaining shares will be sold by existing stockholders, including any shares issued to the underwriters to cover over-allotments.

    According to the filing, Fusion-io will not receive proceeds from the sale by shareholders.

    The company’s share price closed at $37.61 yesterday, but is down roughly 10 percent in pre-market trading. At present, Fusion-io’s market cap stands at $3.2 billion.
