This Amendment No. 1 (the “Amendment”) amends the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO relating to an offer (the “Offer”) by Juniper Networks, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Juniper” or the “Company”), to amend certain options (the “Tainted Options”) granted under the Juniper Networks, Inc. Amended & Restated 1996 Stock Plan and the Juniper Networks, Inc. 2000 Nonstatutory Stock Option Plan (together, the “Juniper Stock Plans”): (i) that had original exercise prices per share that were less than the fair market value per share of the common stock underlying the option on the option’s grant date, as determined by Juniper for financial accounting purposes, (ii) if held by an Eligible Employee (as defined below) who is subject to taxation in the U.S. (“eligible U.S. employees”), the options were unvested, either in whole or in part, as of December 31, 2004, and (iii) that are outstanding as of the last date on which the Offer remains open for acceptance.
 
Eligible participants may elect to (i) amend all of their Tainted Options to increase the exercise price per share to the fair market value of a share of the common stock of Juniper Networks, Inc. on the option’s grant date, as determined by Juniper for financial accounting purposes, and (ii) receive a cash payment. The amount of the cash payment to eligible U.S. employees participating in the Offer will be, for each Tainted Option amended in the Offer, 105% of the difference between the new exercise price and the original exercise price per share (the “exercise price increase”), multiplied by the number of unexercised shares subject to the Tainted Option amended in the Offer (the “aggregate exercise price increase”). Eligible U.S. employees will receive cash payments on the first payroll date in 2008. Eligible Employees (as defined below) subject to taxation in Canada but not the U.S. (“eligible Canada employees”) who participate in the offer will receive a cash payment equal to 100% of the aggregate exercise price increase plus a cash payment equal to the aggregate exercise price increase divided by 70.13%, minus the aggregate exercise price increase (the “gross-up amount”), for each Tainted Option amended in the Offer. Eligible Canada employees will receive cash payments promptly following the date the tendered options are amended. All such payments will be subject to any applicable tax withholding. Cash payments will not be subject to any further vesting conditions and will be made without regard to whether the Tainted Option is vested and whether an eligible participant is an employee or other service provider of the Company at the time of payment.
 
The offer is being made pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in: (i) the Offer to Amend the Exercise Price of Certain Options, dated March 12, 2007 (the “Offer to Amend”), as amended March 20, 2007, (ii) the related e-mail from Mitchell Gaynor dated March 12, 2007, (iii) the Election Agreement Terms and Conditions and (iv) the intranet page containing the addendum/options history and accept/reject icons. These documents, as they may be amended or supplemented from time to time, together constitute the “Disclosure Documents” and are attached to this Schedule TO as Exhibits (a)(1)(A) through (a)(1)(D), respectively. An “Eligible Employee” refers to each employee of Juniper or one of its subsidiaries who remains an employee on the last date on which the Offer remains open for acceptance and who is subject to taxation in the United States or Canada but who, as of the last date which the Offer remains open for acceptance, is not and never has been an officer or director of the Company as contemplated by Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).
 
This Amendment is filed in satisfaction of the reporting requirements of Rule 13e-4(c)(3) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
 
The information in the Offer, including all schedules and annexes thereto, which were previously filed with the Schedule TO, is hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference into this Amendment, except that such information is hereby amended and supplemented to the extent specifically provided herein.
 
This Amendment reflects amendments which were made to page 41 and Schedule A of the Offer to Amend Certain attached to the Schedule TO as Exhibit (a)(1)(A).
 
The paragraph numbered “4” under Item 17 on page 41 of the Offer to Amend is hereby amended and restated as follows:
