Item 2. Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

     On July 1, 2002, Juniper Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), completed its acquisition of Unisphere Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Unisphere”), a privately held provider of data networking equipment optimized for applications at the edge of service provider networks (the “Acquisition”). In the Acquisition, Homer Acquisition Corporation, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, merged with and into Unisphere such that Unisphere became a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company after the Acquisition. In exchange for their shares of Unisphere common stock, the former shareholders of Unisphere received an aggregate of 36,500,000 shares of common stock of the Company and cash totaling $375 million. The cash portion of the consideration was paid from the Company’s operating cash. Immediately prior to the Acquisition, Siemens Corporation owned approximately 98.4% of the outstanding capital stock of Unisphere.

     The shares of the Company’s common stock were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) in reliance on Section 3(a)(10) thereof.
