Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On September 17, 2008, at a regular meeting of the Compensation Committee of Juniper Networks, Inc. (the "Company"), the committee approved a clarifying change to the performance-based incentive arrangement for Mr. Edward Minshull previously disclosed by the Company in a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on May 14, 2008 (the "May 2008 8-K"). The approval clarified that, to the extent Mr. Minshull achieved certain targets related to the Company’s operating metrics, the acceleration of the equity awards described in the May 2008 8-K would be proportional to such achievement. The disclosure set forth in the May 2008 8-K is incorporated herein by reference.
