JUNO LIGHTING, INC.
ANNOUNCES DECLARATION OF ONE-TIME CASH DIVIDEND

Des Plaines, IL, July 1, 2004. Juno Lighting, Inc. (NASDAQ JUNO) announced that its board of directors has declared a one-time cash dividend of $60 million payable to the holders of its common and preferred stock (on an as converted basis). The board of directors set the record date for determining stockholders of record entitled to receive the dividend as July 16, 2004 and the payment date as July 26, 2004. Juno anticipates the amount of the dividend will be $6.86 per share of common stock; however, such amount is subject to change based upon the number of shares of Juno's common and preferred stock outstanding on the record date. The actual per share amount of the dividend will be determined on the record date by dividing $60 million by the sum of the total number of shares of Juno's common stock outstanding on the record date plus the total number of shares of Juno's common stock to which holders of Juno's Series A and Series B preferred stock would be entitled had such holders elected to convert such shares of preferred stock into shares of common stock immediately prior to the record date. The per share dividend amount determined by such method will be rounded down to the nearest whole cent. Based on conferences with representatives of the Nasdaq Stock Market, Juno believes the ex-dividend date for the one-time cash dividend will be determined and fixed by the Nasdaq Stock Market after the actual per share amount of the dividend has been determined.
