Stock-Based Compensation Plans

We maintain the Amended and Restated Fortinet, Inc. 2009 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Amended Plan”) pursuant to which we have granted RSUs and stock options. We also previously had an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”) for eligible employees, which was terminated in February 2019. As of March 31, 2020, there was a total of 12.1 million shares of common stock available for grant under the Amended Plan.

Restricted Stock Units

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

As of March 31, 2020, total compensation expense related to unvested RSUs granted to employees and non-employees under the 2009 Plan, but not yet recognized, was $440.8 million. This expense is expected to be amortized on a straight-line basis over a weighted-average vesting period of 2.9 years.

RSUs settle into shares of common stock upon vesting. Upon the vesting of the RSUs, we net-settle the RSUs and withhold a portion of the shares to satisfy minimum statutory employee withholding tax requirements. Total payment of the employees’ tax obligations to the tax authorities is reflected as a financing activity within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

Share Repurchase Program

Under the Share Repurchase Program originally approved by our board of directors in January 2016 (the “Repurchase Program”), our board of directors has authorized the repurchase of up to $2.5 billion of our outstanding common stock through February 28, 2021. Share repurchases may be made by us from time to time in privately negotiated transactions or in open market transactions. The Repurchase Program does not require us to purchase a minimum number of shares, and may be suspended, modified or discontinued at any time without prior notice.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we repurchased 10.0 million shares of common stock under the Repurchase Program in open market transactions at an average price of $90.36 per share and for an aggregate purchase price of $899.9 million. As of March 31, 2020, $692.9 million remained available for future share repurchases under the Repurchase Program.
