Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On March 13, 2019, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Juniper Networks, Inc. (the “Company”) appointed Anne T. DelSanto, 55, Executive Vice President and General Manager, Platform at Salesforce.com, Inc. to serve as a member of the Board.

The Board anticipates appointing Ms. DelSanto to one or more committees of the Board at a later date. There are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. DelSanto and any other person pursuant to which Ms. DelSanto was appointed to serve on the Board. There are no family relationships between Ms. DelSanto and any other director or executive officer of the Company and there have been no transactions between Ms. DelSanto and the Company in the last fiscal year, and none are currently proposed, that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.

Ms. DelSanto will receive the standard compensation available to the Company’s current non-employee directors, which is discussed in the Company’s Proxy Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 10, 2018, but on a pro-rated basis for the initial year. In accordance with the Company’s customary practice, the Company will also enter into its standard form of indemnification agreement with Ms. DelSanto, which agreement is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, as filed with the SEC on August 10, 2018.

A copy of the press release announcing the appointment of Ms. DelSanto is attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1. The information in the press release will not be deemed “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section, nor will it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.
