We maintain the Amended and Restated Fortinet, Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Amended Plan”) pursuant to which we have granted RSUs, stock options and PSUs. As of September 30, 2025, there were a total of 48.8 million shares of common stock available for grant under the Amended Plan.

The following table summarizes the activity and related information for RSUs for the periods presented below (in millions, except per share amounts):


	Restricted Stock Units Outstanding
	Number of Shares	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share
Balance—December 31, 2024	8.4	$	64.70
Granted	2.9	104.05
Forfeited	(0.7)	74.80
Vested	(2.8)	60.50
Balance—September 30, 2025	7.8	$	80.32

Stock compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of each RSU. As of September 30, 2025, total compensation expense related to unvested RSUs granted to employees and non-employees under the Amended Plan, but not yet recognized, was $535.6 million, with a weighted-average remaining vesting period of 2.7 years.

We grant market/performance-based PSUs under the Amended Plan to certain of our executives. Based on the achievement of the market/performance-based vesting conditions during the performance period, the final settlement of the PSUs will range between 0% and 200% of the target shares underlying the PSUs based on the percentile ranking of our total stockholder return over one-, two-, three- and four-year periods among companies included in the S&P 500 Index. 20%, 20%, 20% and 40% of the PSUs vest over one-, two-, three- and four-year service periods, respectively.

The following table summarizes the activity and related information for PSUs for the periods presented below (in millions, except per share amounts):


	Performance Stock Units Outstanding
	Number of Shares	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share
Balance—December 31, 2024	0.4	$	94.93
Granted	0.1	165.91
Forfeited	(0.1)	113.36
Vested	(0.2)	91.19
Balance—September 30, 2025	0.2	$	117.94

As of September 30, 2025, total compensation expense related to unvested PSUs that were granted to certain of our executives, but not yet recognized, was $25.6 million. This expense is expected to be amortized on a graded vesting method over a weighted-average vesting period of 2.1 years.

RSUs and PSUs settle into shares of common stock upon vesting. Upon the vesting of the RSUs and PSUs, we net-settle the RSUs and PSUs and withhold a portion of the shares to satisfy employee withholding tax requirements. The payment of the withheld taxes to the tax authorities is reflected as a financing activity within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.
