Fortinet, Inc. (the “Company”) filed a Current Report on Form 8-K on May 30, 2017 (as subsequently amended on May 31, 2017) disclosing that, on May 24, 2017, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company appointed Peter D. Cohen to join the Board as a Class I director whose term will expire at the Company’s 2019 annual meeting of stockholders, with such increase and appointment being effective as of July 14, 2017.
For clarity, the Board increased the size of the Board to eight from seven, not to nine, and it currently stands at eight.

On October 13, 2017, the Board appointed Mr. Cohen to the Human Resources Committee of the Board (formerly the Compensation Committee) and the Governance Committee of the Board (formerly the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee), in each case, effective immediately as of the same date.
