Juniper Networks Announces Common Stock Repurchase Program of up to $1 Billion

SUNNYVALE, Calif., July 19, 2004 — Juniper Networks, Inc. (Nasdaq: JNPR) announced today that its board of directors approved a new stock repurchase program which enables the Company to purchase up to $1 billion of the company’s common stock.

“Our commitment to our shareholders is to continue to grow revenue, earnings and cash and as a result enhance the long term value of Juniper,” commented Scott Kriens, chairman and CEO, Juniper Networks. “Consistent with that commitment the Board of Directors has concluded that a significant stock repurchase program is appropriate.”
