‘EX-97.1’ — Fortinet, Inc. Compensation Recovery Policy
The Board has determined that it is in the best interests of the
Company and its stockholders to adopt this Policy enabling the Company to recover from specified current and former Company executives certain incentive-based compensation in the event the Company is required to prepare an accounting restatement of the Company’s financial statements due to the Company’s material non-compliance with any financial reporting requirement under the federal securities laws (including any such correction that is material to the previously issued financial statements, or that would result in a material misstatement if the error were corrected in the current period or left uncorrected in the current
period).
Capitalized terms are defined in Section 14.
This Policy is designed to comply with Rule 10D-1 of the Exchange Act and shall become effective on the Adoption Date.
1.Administration
This Policy shall be administered by the Administrator. The Administrator is authorized to interpret and construe this Policy and to make all determinations necessary, appropriate, or advisable for the administration of this Policy. For clarity, notwithstanding anything to the contrary, all determinations by the Administrator related to this Policy and interpretations thereof shall be in the sole and absolute discretion of the Administrator. The Administrator may retain, at the
Company’s expense, outside legal counsel and such compensation, tax or other consultants as it may determine are advisable for purposes of administering this Policy.
2.Covered Persons and Covered Compensation
This Policy applies to any Incentive-Based Compensation Received by a Covered Person: (a) on or after the Listing Rule Effective Date, (b) after beginning service as a Covered Person; (c) who served as a Covered Person at any time during the performance period for that Incentive-Based Compensation; and (d) was a Covered Person during the Clawback Period.
However, recoupment under this Policy is not required with respect to:
i.Incentive-Based Compensation Received prior to an individual becoming a Covered Person, even if the
individual served as a Covered Person during the Clawback Period.
ii.Incentive-Based Compensation Received prior to the Listing Rule Effective Date.
iii.Incentive-Based Compensation Received prior to the Clawback Period.
iv.Incentive-Based Compensation Received while the Company did not
have a class of listed securities on a national securities exchange or a national securities association, including the Exchange.
In the event of a Restatement Triggering Event, it will not be relevant whether there is any fault on the part of the Covered Person or whether the Covered Person was involved in preparing the financial statements and the Administrator will not consider the Covered Person’s responsibility or fault or lack thereof in enforcing this Policy with respect to recoupment required under the Final Rules.
3.Triggering Event
Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of this Policy, if there is a Restatement Triggering Event, the Administrator shall require a Covered Person to reimburse or forfeit to the Company
the Recoupment Amount applicable to such Covered Person.
4.Calculation of Recoupment Amount
In the event of a Restatement Triggering Event, the Recoupment Amount will be calculated in accordance with the Final Rules. For Incentive-Based Compensation based on stock price or total shareholder return, where the amount of erroneously awarded compensation is not subject to mathematical recalculation directly from the information in an accounting restatement, the Administrator will determine the amount based on a reasonable estimate of the effect of the accounting restatement on the relevant stock price or total shareholder return. The Company will maintain and will provide to The Nasdaq Stock Market documentation of all determinations and actions taken in complying with this Policy.
Notwithstanding
anything herein to the contrary, if recoupment is not required by the Final Rules with respect to any Covered Person or any Incentive-Based Compensation, the Administrator shall have the sole discretion to determine whether recoupment is required and the appropriate amount to be recouped (which may be less but not greater than the Recoupment Amount).
5.Method of Recoupment
Subject to compliance with the Final Rules and applicable law, the Administrator will determine, in its sole discretion, the method for recouping the Recoupment Amount hereunder which may include, without limitation:
i.Requiring reimbursement or forfeiture of the pre-tax amount of cash Incentive-Based Compensation previously paid;
ii.Offsetting the Recoupment
Amount from any compensation otherwise owed by the Company to the Covered Person, including without limitation, any prior cash incentive payments, executive retirement benefits, wages, equity grants or other amounts payable by the Company to the Covered Person in the future;
iii.Seeking recovery of any gain realized on the vesting, exercise, settlement, cash sale, transfer or other disposition of any equity-based awards; and/or
2
iv.Taking
any other remedial and recovery action permitted by law, as determined by the Administrator.
6.Arbitration
To the fullest extent permitted by law, any disputes under this Policy shall be submitted to mandatory binding arbitration (the “Arbitrable Claims”), governed by the Federal Arbitration Act (the “FAA”). Further, to the fullest extent permitted by law, no class or collective actions can be asserted in arbitration or otherwise. All claims, whether in arbitration or otherwise, must be brought solely in a Covered Person’s individual capacity, and not as a plaintiff or class member in any purported class or collective proceeding.
SUBJECT TO THE ABOVE PROVISO, ANY RIGHTS THAT A COVERED PERSON MAY HAVE TO TRIAL BY JURY IN REGARD
TO ARBITRABLE CLAIMS ARE WAIVED. ANY RIGHTS THAT A COVERED PERSON MAY HAVE TO PURSUE OR PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS OR COLLECTIVE ACTION PERTAINING TO ANY CLAIMS BETWEEN A COVERED PERSON AND THE COMPANY ARE WAIVED.
A Covered Person is not restricted from filing administrative claims that may be brought before any government agency where, as a matter of law, the Covered Person’s ability to file such claims may not be restricted. However, to the fullest extent permitted by law, arbitration shall be the exclusive remedy for the subject matter of such administrative claims. The arbitration shall be conducted in Santa Clara County, CA through JAMS before a single neutral arbitrator, in accordance with the JAMS Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures then in effect, provided however, that the FAA,
including its procedural provisions for compelling arbitration, shall govern and apply to this Arbitration provision. The Covered Person or other claimant shall bear all of their fees and costs associated with any claims related to this Policy. The arbitrator shall issue a written decision that contains the essential findings and conclusions on which the decision is based. If, for any reason, any term of this Arbitration provision is held to be invalid or unenforceable, all other valid terms and conditions herein shall be severable in nature and remain fully enforceable.
7.Recovery Process; Impracticability
Actions by the Administrator to recover the Recoupment Amount will be reasonably prompt.
In the event of a Restatement Triggering Event, the Administrator must cause the
Company to recover the Recoupment Amount unless the Administrator shall have previously determined that recovery is impracticable and one of the following conditions is met:
i.The direct expense paid to a third party to assist in enforcing this Policy would exceed the amount to be recovered; before concluding that it would be impracticable to recover any Recoupment Amount based on expense of enforcement, the Company must make a reasonable attempt to recover such Recoupment Amount, document such reasonable attempt(s) to recover, and provide that documentation to the Exchange;
3
ii.Recovery
would violate home country law where that law was adopted prior to November 28, 2022; before concluding that it would be impracticable to recover any amount of erroneously awarded Incentive-Based Compensation based on violation of home country law, the Company must obtain an opinion of home country counsel, acceptable to the Exchange, that recovery would result in such a violation, and must provide such opinion to the Exchange; or
iii.Recovery would likely cause an otherwise tax-qualified retirement plan, under which benefits are broadly available to employees of the Company, to fail to meet the requirements of 26 U.S.C. 401(a)(13) or 26 U.S.C. 411(a) and
regulations thereunder.
8.Non-Exclusivity
The Administrator intends that this Policy will be applied to the fullest extent of the law. Without limitation to any broader or alternate clawback authorized in any written document with a Covered Person, (a) the Administrator may require that any eligibility to participate in a bonus program, employment agreement, equity award agreement, or similar agreement entered into or eligibility on or after the Adoption Date shall, as a condition to the grant of any benefit thereunder, require a Covered Person to agree to abide by the terms of this Policy, and (b) this Policy will nonetheless apply to Incentive-Based Compensation as required by the Final Rules, whether or not specifically referenced in those arrangements. Any right of recoupment under this Policy is in addition to, and not in lieu
of, any other remedies or rights of recoupment that may be available to the Company pursuant to the terms of any similar policy in any employment agreement, equity award agreement, or similar agreement and any other legal remedies or regulations available or applicable to the Company (including SOX 304). If recovery is required under both SOX 304 and this Policy, any amounts recovered pursuant to SOX 304 may be credited toward the amount recovered under this Policy, or vice versa.
9.No Indemnification
The Company shall not indemnify any Covered Persons against (a) the loss of any Recoupment Amount or
any adverse tax consequences associated with any Recoupment Amount or any recoupment hereunder, or (b) any claims relating to the Company enforcement of its rights under this Policy. For the avoidance of doubt, this prohibition on indemnification will also prohibit the Company from reimbursing or paying any premium or payment of any third-party insurance policy to fund potential recovery obligations obtained by the Covered Person directly. No Covered Person will seek or retain any such prohibited indemnification or reimbursement.
Further, the Company shall not enter into any agreement that exempts any Incentive-Based Compensation from the application of this Policy or
that waives the Company’s right to recovery of any Recoupment Amount and this Policy shall supersede any such agreement (whether entered into before, on or after the Adoption Date).
10.Covered Person Acknowledgement and Agreement
All Covered Persons subject to this Policy must acknowledge their understanding of, and agreement to comply with, the Policy by executing the certification attached hereto as Exhibit A.
4
Notwithstanding
the foregoing, this Policy will apply to Covered Persons whether or not such person executes such certification.
11.Successors
This Policy shall be binding and enforceable against all Covered Persons and their beneficiaries, heirs, executors, administrators or other legal representatives and shall inure to the benefit of any successor to the Company.
12.Interpretation of Policy
To the extent there is any ambiguity between this Policy and the Final Rules, this Policy shall be interpreted so that it complies with the Final Rules. If any provision of this Policy, or the application of such provision to any Covered Person
or circumstance, shall be held invalid, the remainder of this Policy, or the application of such provision to Covered Persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid, shall not be affected thereby.
In the event any provision of this Policy with respect to a Restatement Triggering Event is inconsistent with any requirement of any Final Rules, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, shall amend and administer this Policy and bring it into compliance with such rules.
Any determination under this Policy by the Administrator shall be conclusive and binding on the applicable Covered Person. Determinations of the Administrator need not be uniform with respect to Covered Persons or from one payment or grant to another.
13.Amendments; Termination
The Administrator
may make any amendments to this Policy as required under applicable law, the Rules, or as otherwise determined by the Administrator in its sole discretion.
The Administrator may terminate this Policy at any time, subject to compliance with the Final Rules.
