JUNIPER NETWORKS ANNOUNCES NEW COMMON STOCK REPURCHASE AUTHORIZATION OF UP TO $1 BILLION
SUNNYVALE, Calif., June 11, 2012 Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR), the industry leader in network innovation, today announced a new stock repurchase program which enables the Company to purchase up to $1 billion of the Companys common stock.
This new authorization is in addition to the $1 billion stock repurchase program approved in 2010. As of March 31, 2012, there was approximately $162.2 million of remaining authorized funds under the 2010 stock repurchase program.
This authorization will enable the Company to continue its on-going share maintenance plan which is designed to reduce dilution from the issuance of shares related to its employee stock plans. Share repurchases under Junipers stock repurchase programs will be subject to a review of the circumstances in place at the time and will be made from time to time in private transactions or open market purchases as permitted by securities laws and other legal requirements. The programs may be discontinued at any time.
