[Form 4] Juniper Networks Inc Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Juniper Networks, Inc. (JNPR) – Form 4 insider filing discloses that non-employee director James A. Dolce Jr. disposed of all equity interests on 2 July 2025 due to the closing of the previously announced merger with Hewlett Packard Enterprise Company (HPE).

Under the Agreement and Plan of Merger signed 9 January 2024, HPE’s wholly-owned subsidiary merged with Juniper, making Juniper a wholly-owned HPE subsidiary. Each outstanding Juniper common share was converted into the right to receive US $40.00 in cash, and all director RSU awards were cancelled for an equivalent cash payment.

Dolce’s Form 4 entries show:

• 31,995 common shares (held directly) were disposed of (Transaction Code D); post-transaction holding: 0 shares.
• 6,840 RSUs were simultaneously cancelled for cash; post-transaction derivative holding: 0.

The filing confirms completion of the cash-only take-private transaction at $40 per share and indicates that directors no longer retain JNPR equity following the merger’s effective time.

Positive

• Merger closed: Filing verifies consummation of HPE’s acquisition, removing deal-completion risk.
• $40.00 cash per share: Shareholders receive immediate, certain liquidity at the stated merger price.

Negative

• None.

Insights

M&A Specialist

TL;DR – Filing confirms merger close; all Juniper equity cashed at $40, eliminating insider holdings.

The Form 4 provides the first Section 16 confirmation that HPE’s acquisition of Juniper reached legal close on 2 July 2025. The disposition of 31,995 shares and 6,840 RSUs at $40 cash reflects the merger mechanics outlined in the January 2024 agreement. From a deal-risk standpoint, this removes any residual uncertainty about closing conditions or regulatory hurdles—the merger is now consummated, and Juniper becomes a wholly-owned HPE subsidiary. For legacy JNPR investors, the cash consideration crystallises value and terminates trading in Juniper stock. No further upside participation exists, but deal certainty and immediate liquidity are delivered.

Portfolio Manager

TL;DR – Insider reports zero remaining JNPR shares; cash exit at $40 now final.

This filing is administratively routine yet materially impactful for holders awaiting confirmation of payment. The $40 redemption represents the final settlement price; there are no price adjustments or contingent value rights mentioned. Investors should plan to redeploy capital as Juniper stock will cease to trade independently. The absence of residual equity by directors signals the full unwind of insider exposure, reinforcing that all minority shareholders will receive identical treatment.
