Pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, dated February 9, 2004, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 1 (the “Reorganization Agreement”), by and among NetScreen, Juniper and Nerus Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Juniper (“Merger Sub”), and subject to the conditions set forth therein, it is contemplated that Merger Sub will be merged with and into NetScreen (the “Merger”).

        Page 4 of 7 Pages

Item 4. Purpose of Transaction.

 

(a)-(b) As described in Item 3 above, this Schedule 13D relates to the proposed acquisition of NetScreen by Juniper pursuant to which, at the effective time of the Merger, the separate existence of Merger Sub will cease and NetScreen will continue as the Surviving Corporation. By virtue of the Merger, each share of outstanding common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of NetScreen (“NetScreen Common Stock”) will be cancelled and extinguished and automatically converted into the right to receive 1.404 (the “Exchange Ratio”) shares of Juniper Common Stock. In connection with the Reorganization Agreement, all options to purchase NetScreen Common Stock then outstanding under each of NetScreen’s 1997 Equity Incentive Plan, 2001 Equity Incentive Plan, OneSecure, Inc. 2000 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan, Neoteris 2001 Stock Plan, 2002 Stock Option Plan and any other plan or agreement pursuant to which options to purchase shares of NetScreen Common Stock have been granted or are outstanding following their assumption by NetScreen (collectively, the “Company Option Plans“) will be assumed by Juniper. Rights outstanding under NetScreen’s 2001 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“NetScreen’s ESPP“) will be exercised in accordance with the procedures set forth in NetScreen’s ESPP, and each share of NetScreen Common Stock purchased pursuant to such exercise will, by virtue of the Merger, be converted into the right to receive a number of shares of Juniper Common Stock equal to the Exchange Ratio, without issuance of certificates representing issued and outstanding shares of NetScreen Common Stock to participants under NetScreen’s ESPP.

 

Pursuant to the Voting Agreements, each of the Stockholders has irrevocably appointed certain executive officers and directors of NetScreen as such Stockholder’s lawful attorneys and proxies with respect to certain prescribed matters related to the Merger. The foregoing proxies give such executive officers and directors of NetScreen the full power of substitution and resubstitution, to vote and exercise all voting rights and related rights or deliver a consent with respect to the shares of Juniper Common Stock set forth on Schedule B attached hereto beneficially owned by the Stockholders, at every meeting of the stockholders of Juniper called with respect to any of the following and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and on every action or approval by written consent of stockholders of Juniper with respect to any of the following: (i) in favor of approval of the Merger, the execution and delivery by Juniper of the Reorganization Agreement and the adoption and approval of the terms thereof, the issuance of shares of Juniper Common Stock in connection with the Merger (“Juniper Stock Issuance”)and in favor of each of the other actions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement and the Proxy and any action required in furtherance thereof; (ii) against approval of any proposal made in opposition to, or in competition with, the consummation of the Merger, Juniper Stock Issuance and the transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement; and (iii) against any action that is intended, or could reasonably be expected to, impede, interfere with, delay, postpone, discourage or adversely affect the Merger, Juniper Stock Issuance or any of the other transactions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement.

 

Pursuant to the Voting Agreements, each of the Stockholders agrees that, at all times during the period beginning February 9, 2004 and ending on the earlier to occur of (i) the effective time of the Merger or (ii) the termination of the Reorganization Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof (the “Expiration Date”), Stockholder will not transfer any of the shares Juniper Common Stock, including any shares of capital stock of Juniper that Stockholder

 


       
        Page 5 of 7 Pages
       

 

purchases or with respect to which Stockholder otherwise acquires beneficial ownership after February 9, 2004 and prior to the Expiration Date, or make any agreement relating thereto, in each case without the prior written consent of NetScreen.

 

The purpose of the Voting Agreements is to assist Juniper and NetScreen in consummating the Merger and other transactions contemplated under the Reorganization Agreement. The Voting Agreements provide that the Voting Agreements will not, and it is the intent of the parties that the Voting Agreements will not, preclude the board of directors of Juniper or any member thereof from exercising his or her fiduciary duties as required by applicable law.

 

(c) Not applicable.

 

(d) Pursuant to the terms of the Reorganization Agreement, Juniper will cause one individual designated by NetScreen that is reasonably acceptable to Juniper to be elected or appointed to Juniper’s Board.

 

(e) Other than as a result of the Merger described in Item 3 and above in this Item 4, not applicable.

 

(f) Not applicable.

 

(g) Juniper will take all necessary action under its charter documents to expand the authorized number of directors on its board in order to add one individual designated by NetScreen as described in Item 4(d) above.

 

(h) Not applicable.

 

(i) Not applicable.

 

(j) Not applicable.

 

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

(a)-(b) As a result of the Voting Agreements, NetScreen may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of at least 38,860,290 shares of Juniper Common Stock as of February 9, 2004. Such Juniper Common Stock constitutes approximately 9.7% of the issued and outstanding shares of Juniper Common Stock, based on the 395,346,544 shares of Juniper Common Stock outstanding as of February 9, 2004. NetScreen also may be deemed to have shared voting power with respect to the foregoing shares of Juniper Common Stock with respect to those matters described in Item 4 above. However, (a) other than as specifically set forth in the Voting Agreements, NetScreen is not entitled to any rights as a stockholder of Juniper as to the foregoing shares of Juniper Common Stock, and (b) the filing of this Schedule 13D shall not be construed as an admission that NetScreen is, for purposes of Section 13(d) or 13(g) of the Securities Act of 1933, the beneficial owner of any of the shares of Juniper Common Stock subject to the Voting Agreements.

 

(c) To NetScreen’s knowledge, no shares of Juniper Common Stock are beneficially owned by any of the persons named in Schedule A to this Schedule 13D.

 

(d) To NetScreen’s knowledge, no transactions in the class of securities reported have been effected during the past 60 days by any person named pursuant to Item 2.

 

(e) Not applicable.

 

Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

 

Other than the Reorganization Agreement and the exhibits thereto, including the Voting Agreement, to the knowledge of NetScreen, there are no contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships among the persons named in Item 2 (including Schedule A hereto) and between such persons and any person with respect to any

EXHIBIT 2

 

FORM OF PARENT VOTING AGREEMENT

 

THIS VOTING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of February 9, 2004, by and among Juniper Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Parent”), NetScreen Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the undersigned stockholder (“Stockholder”) of Parent.

 

RECITALS

 

A. Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Parent, Nerus Acquisition Corp., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent (“Merger Sub”), and the Company have entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Reorganization Agreement”), which provides for the merger (the “Merger”) of Merger Sub with and into the Company.

 

B. Pursuant to the Merger, all of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company will be converted into the right to receive the consideration set forth in the Reorganization Agreement, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Reorganization Agreement.

 

C. Stockholder is the beneficial owner (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) of the number of shares of outstanding capital stock of Parent and other securities convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, shares of capital stock of Parent, all as set forth on the signature page of this Agreement (collectively, the “Shares”).

 

D. In consideration of the execution of the Reorganization Agreement by Company, Stockholder desires to restrict the transfer or disposition of any of the Shares, or any other shares of capital stock of Parent acquired by Stockholder hereafter and prior to the Expiration Date (as defined in Section 1(a) hereof), and desires to vote the Shares and any other such shares of capital stock of Parent so as to facilitate the consummation of the Merger.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

1. Agreement to Retain Shares.

 

(a) Transfer. Stockholder agrees that, at all times during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending on the Expiration Date (as defined below), Stockholder shall not Transfer (as defined below) any of the Shares or any New Shares (as defined in Section 1(b) hereof), or make any agreement relating thereto, in each case without the prior written consent of Company.

 

As used herein, the term “Expiration Date” shall mean the earlier to occur of (i) such date and time as the Merger shall become effective in accordance with the terms and provisions of the


Reorganization Agreement, or (ii) the termination of the Reorganization Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof. As used herein, the term “Transfer” shall mean, with respect to any security, the direct or indirect assignment, sale, transfer, tender, pledge, hypothecation, or the gift, placement in trust, or the Constructive Sale (as defined below) or other disposition of such security (excluding transfers by testamentary or intestate succession or otherwise by operation of law) or any right, title or interest therein (including, but not limited to, any right or power to vote to which the holder thereof may be entitled, whether such right or power is granted by proxy or otherwise), or the record or beneficial ownership thereof, the offer to make such a sale, transfer, Constructive Sale or other disposition, and each agreement, arrangement or understanding, whether or not in writing, to effect any of the foregoing, excluding (i) any Transfer to a family member or charitable organization if the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement to the same extent as Stockholder and delivers a duly signed Proxy (as defined in Section 3), and (ii) any Transfer pursuant to a court order. As used herein, the term “Constructive Sale” shall mean, with respect to any security, a short sale with respect to such security, entering into or acquiring an offsetting derivative contract with respect to such security, entering into or acquiring a futures or forward contract to deliver such security or entering into any other hedging or other derivative transaction that has the effect of materially changing the economic benefits and risks of ownership.

 

(b) New Shares. Stockholder agrees that any shares of capital stock of Parent that Stockholder purchases or with respect to which Stockholder otherwise acquires beneficial ownership after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Expiration Date, including, without limitation, shares issued or issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange, as the case may be, of all securities held by Stockholder which are convertible into, or exercisable or exchangeable for, shares of capital stock of Parent (“New Shares”), shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the same extent as if they constituted Shares as of the date hereof.

 

2. Agreement to Vote Shares. Until the Expiration Date, at every meeting of stockholders of Parent called with respect to any of the following, and at every adjournment or postponement thereof, and every action or approval by written consent of stockholders of Parent with respect to any of the following, Stockholder shall vote, to the extent not voted by the person(s) appointed under the Proxy (as defined in Section 3), the outstanding Shares and any outstanding New Shares (to the extent any such New Shares may be voted):

 

(i) in favor of approval of the Merger, the execution and delivery by Parent of the Reorganization Agreement and the adoption and approval of the terms thereof, the issuance of shares of Parent Common Stock (as defined in the Reorganization Agreement) in connection with the Merger (the “Parent Stock Issuance”) and in favor of each of the other actions contemplated by the Reorganization Agreement and the Proxy and any action required in furtherance thereof;
