Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On June 15, 2015, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Fortinet, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Judith Sim to serve as a director of the Company, effective June 22, 2015. Ms. Sim will serve as a Class III director whose term will expire at the Company’s 2018 annual meeting of stockholders. There is no arrangement or understanding between Ms. Sim and the Company or any other person pursuant to which she was selected as a director. Ms. Sim has not yet been appointed to any standing committees of the Board. The Company will file an amendment to this Form 8-K to disclose any such appointments after they are made.

In connection with her appointment, and in accordance with the Company’s annual cash retainer which is described in the Company’s most recent proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 30, 2015, Ms. Sim will receive an annual cash retainer for serving on the Board of $40,000, paid quarterly, and it is expected that the Board will approve a grant of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to her. In accordance with a change of control agreement entered into between Ms. Sim and the Company, all of her unvested equity awards at the time of a change of control, including the RSUs, will vest immediately prior to the consummation of the change of control.

Ms. Sim has also entered into the Company’s standard form of indemnification agreement for non-executive directors, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-1 filed with the SEC on August 10, 2009 (File No. 333-161190).

A copy of the Company’s press release relating to this announcement is being furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this Form 8-K.
