 Exhibit 10.12 
 July 28, 2012 
 Mr. Ron Codd 
 Dear Ron: 
 On behalf of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of
FireEye, Inc. (the “Company”), we are pleased to inform you that our Board has nominated you for election as a member of our Board and as chairman of the Board’s Audit Committee upon formalization of that committee. 

As you are aware, the Company is a Delaware corporation and therefore your rights and duties as a Board member of the Company are
prescribed by Delaware law, our charter documents as well as by the policies established by our Board from time to time. If the Company completes an initial public offering of its common stock, you should anticipate that your duties and
responsibilities would increase as a result of being a director of a publicly traded company. In addition, you may also be requested to serve as a director of one or more of our subsidiaries in which case you may be subject to other laws while
serving in such a capacity. 
 From time to time, our Board may establish certain other committees to which it may delegate
certain duties. You will be appointed by the Board to serve as Chairman of the Audit Committee and possibly additional committees. In addition to committee meetings, which shall be convened as needed, our Board meetings are generally held quarterly
at the Company’s offices in Milpitas, California. We would hope that your schedule would permit you to attend all of the meetings of the Board and any committees of which you are a member. In addition, from time to time, there may be telephonic
meetings to address special matters. 
 It is expected that during the term of your Board membership with the Company you will
not engage in any other employment, occupation, consulting or other business activity that competes with the business in which the Company is now involved in or becomes involved in during the term of your service to the Company, nor will you engage
in any other activities that conflict with your obligations to the Company. 
 If you decide to join the
Board and to serve as chairman of the Audit Committee, it will be recommended at the time of your election as a member of the Board that the Company grant you an option exercisable for 250,000 shares of common stock (the “Board
Shares”) in consideration for your service as a member of the Board, chairman of the Audit Committee and, potentially, a member of at least one other Board committee, at a price per share equal to the fair market value per share of
the common stock on the date of grant, as determined by the Board. Such option grant will vest as to 1/4 of the shares subject to the option grant on the first anniversary of the grant date, with 1/48th of the shares subject to the option grant vesting at the end of each
month thereafter, subject to you continuing to serve as a Board member and chairman of the Audit Committee on each vesting date. 
 Following a Change in Control (defined below), all shares subject to options granted in accordance with the foregoing provisions shall fully vest and become immediately exercisable. “Change of
Control” shall mean: (i) the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; (ii) any sale or exchange of the capital stock of the Company by the stockholders of the Company in one transaction
or series of related transactions where more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting power of the Company is acquired by a person or entity or group of related persons or entities; (iii) any reorganization, consolidation or
merger of the Company where the outstanding voting securities of the Company immediately before the transaction represent or are converted into less than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting power of the surviving entity (or its parent
corporation) immediately after the transaction; or (iv) the consummation of the acquisition of fifty-one percent (51%) or more of the outstanding stock of the Company pursuant to a tender offer validly made under any federal or state law
(other than a tender offer by the Company).

 In addition, if the Company completes an initial public offering of its common stock, we
anticipate that you would receive a compensation package for your services to the Company as determined by the Board. 
 The
payment of compensation to Board members is subject to many restrictions under applicable law, and as such, you should be aware that the compensation set forth above is subject to such future changes and modifications as the Board or its committees
may deem necessary or appropriate. In addition, please note that unless otherwise approved by our Board or required under applicable law, directors of our subsidiaries shall not be entitled to any compensation. 

You shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable expenses incurred by you in connection with your service to the Company and
attendance of Board and committee meetings in accordance with the Company’s established policies. 
 Please note that
nothing in this letter or any agreement granting you equity stock options should be construed to interfere with or otherwise restrict in any way the rights of the Company, its Board or stockholders from removing you from the Board or any committee
in accordance with the provisions of applicable law. Furthermore, except as otherwise provided to other non-employee Board members or required by law, the Company does not intend to afford you any rights as an employee, including without limitation,
the right to further employment or any other benefits. 
 We hope that you find the foregoing terms acceptable. You may indicate
your agreement with these terms by signing and dating both the enclosed duplicate and original letter and returning them to me. By signing this letter you also represent that the execution and delivery of this agreement and the fulfillment of the
terms hereof will not require the consent of another person, constitute a default under or conflict with any agreement or other instrument to which you are bound or a party. 
 On behalf of the Company it gives us great pleasure to welcome you as a member of our Board. We anticipate your leadership and experience shall make a key contribution to our success at this critical time
in our growth and development. 
 Yours very truly, 
 /s/ David DeWalt                 
 Dave DeWalt 
 Chairman 
 Acknowledged and agreed to

the Employees who will be Participants for any Performance Period. Participation in the Plan is in the sole discretion of the Committee, on a Performance Period by Performance Period basis. Accordingly, an Employee who is a Participant for a given

 (b)        Determination of Target Awards. The Committee, in its sole discretion, will establish a Target Award for each Participant, which may be a

Plan, the Committee may, in its sole discretion and at any time, (i) increase, reduce or eliminate a Participant’s Actual Award, and/or (ii) increase, reduce or eliminate the amount allocated to the Bonus Pool. The Actual Award may be

items and/or payments of Actual Awards under the Plan when determining whether the performance goals have been met. The goals may be on the basis of any factors the Committee determines relevant, and may be on an individual, divisional, business
unit or Company-wide basis. The performance goals may differ from Participant to Participant and from award to award. Failure to meet the goals will result in a failure to earn the Target Award, except as provided in Section 3(d). 

4.      Payment of Awards. 

(a)        Right to Receive Payment. Each Actual Award will be paid solely from the
general assets of the Company. Nothing in this Plan will be construed to create a trust or to establish or evidence any Participant’s claim of any right other than as an unsecured general creditor with respect to any payment to which he or she
may be entitled. 
 (b)        Timing of Payment. To receive an Actual Award a
Participant must be employed by the Company or any Affiliate on the date the Actual Award is paid. Accordingly, an Actual Award is not considered earned until paid. 
 It is the intent that this Plan be exempt from, or comply with, the requirements of Code Section 409A so that none of the payments to be provided hereunder will be subject to the additional tax
imposed under Code Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein will be interpreted to so comply. Each payment under this Plan is intended to constitute a separate payment for purposes of Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-2(b)(2). 

(c)        Form of Payment. Each Actual Award will be paid in cash (or its
equivalent) in a single lump sum. 
 5.      Plan Administration. 

(a)        Committee is the Administrator. The Plan will be administered by the
Committee. The Committee will consist of not less than two (2) members of the Board. The members of the Committee will be appointed from time to time by, and serve at the pleasure of, the Board. 

(b)        Committee Authority. It will be the duty of the Committee to administer the
Plan in accordance with the Plan’s provisions. The Committee will have all powers and discretion necessary or appropriate to administer the Plan and to control its operation, including, but not limited

to, the power to (i) determine which Employees will be granted awards, (ii) prescribe the terms and conditions of awards, (iii) interpret the Plan and the awards, (iv) adopt
such procedures and sub-plans as are necessary or appropriate to permit participation in the Plan by Employees who are foreign nationals or employed outside of the United States, (v) adopt rules for the administration, interpretation and
application of the Plan as are consistent therewith, and (vi) interpret, amend or revoke any such rules. 

(c)        Decisions Binding. All determinations and decisions made by the Committee, the
Board, and any delegate of the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan will be final, conclusive, and binding on all persons, and will be given the maximum deference permitted by law. 

(d)        Delegation by Committee. The Committee, in its sole discretion and on such
terms and conditions as it may provide, may delegate all or part of its authority and powers under the Plan to one or more directors and/or officers of the Company. 
 (e)        Indemnification. Each person who is or will have been a member of the Committee will be indemnified and held harmless by the Company against
and from (i) any loss, cost, liability, or expense that may be imposed upon or reasonably incurred by him or her in connection with or resulting from any claim, action, suit, or proceeding to which he or she may be a party or in which he or she
may be involved by reason of any action taken or failure to act under the Plan or any award, and (ii) from any and all amounts paid by him or her in settlement thereof, with the Company’s approval, or paid by him or her in satisfaction of
any judgment in any such claim, action, suit, or proceeding against him or her, provided he or she will give the Company an opportunity, at its own expense, to handle and defend the same before he or she undertakes to handle and defend it on his or
her own behalf. The foregoing right of indemnification will not be exclusive of any other rights of indemnification to which such persons may be entitled under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, by contract, as a matter of
law, or otherwise, or under any power that the Company may have to indemnify them or hold them harmless. 

6.      General Provisions. 

(a)        Tax Withholding. The Company will withhold all applicable taxes from any
Actual Award, including any federal, state and local taxes (including, but not limited to, the Participant’s FICA and SDI obligations). 
 (b)        No Effect on Employment or Service. Nothing in the Plan will interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate any
Participant’s employment or service at any time, with or without cause. Employment with the Company and its Affiliates is on an at-will basis only. The Company expressly reserves the right, which may be exercised at any time and without regard
to when during a Performance Period such exercise occurs, to terminate any individual’s employment with or without cause, and to treat him or her without regard to the effect that such treatment might have upon him or her as a Participant.

 (c)        Participation. No Employee will have the right to be selected to
receive an award under this Plan, or, having been so selected, to be selected to receive a future award. 

  
 -4-

 (d)        Successors. All obligations of
the Company under the Plan, with respect to awards granted hereunder, will be binding on any successor to the Company, whether the existence of such successor is the result of a direct or indirect purchase, merger, consolidation, or otherwise, of
all or substantially all of the business or assets of the Company. 

(e)        Nontransferability of Awards. No award granted under the Plan may be sold,
transferred, pledged, assigned, or otherwise alienated or hypothecated, other than by will, by the laws of descent and distribution, or to the limited extent provided in Section 6(e). All rights with respect to an award granted to a Participant
will be available during his or her lifetime only to the Participant. 
 7.      Amendment,
Termination, and Duration. 
 (a)        Amendment, Suspension, or
Termination. The Committee, in its sole discretion, may amend or terminate the Plan, or any part thereof, at any time and for any reason. The amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan will not, without the consent of the Participant,
alter or impair any rights or obligations under any Actual Award theretofore earned by such Participant. No award may be granted during any period of suspension or after termination of the Plan. 

(b)        Duration of Plan. The Plan will commence on the date specified herein, and
subject to Section 7(a) (regarding the Board’s right to amend or terminate the Plan), will remain in effect until terminated.

(a)        Gender and Number. Except where otherwise indicated by the context, any
masculine term used herein also will include the feminine; the plural will include the singular and the singular will include the plural. 
 (b)        Severability. In the event any provision of the Plan will be held illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity will not affect
the remaining parts of the Plan, and the Plan will be construed and enforced as if the illegal or invalid provision had not been included. 
 (c)        Requirements of Law. The granting of awards under the Plan will be subject to all applicable laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by
any governmental agencies or national securities exchanges as may be required.
