Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
As previously disclosed in the Form 8-K filed by Palo Alto Networks, Inc. (the “Company”) on May 28, 2014, the Company entered into a Settlement, Release and Cross-License Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) with Juniper Networks, Inc. (“Juniper”) on May 27, 2014, to resolve all pending disputes between Juniper and the Company. The Settlement Agreement provided for, among other things, the issuance by the Company to Juniper of 1,080,747 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Shares”) with an approximate value of $70,000,000 and a warrant to purchase 463,177 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrant”), which have an approximate value of $30,000,000, at an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. The Warrant will expire on January 3, 2015.
On June 3, 2014, in accordance with the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Company issued the Warrant to Juniper. The Shares were issued on May 27, 2014, pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement. The Warrant and the Shares were issued pursuant to an exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. As previously disclosed, the Company has agreed to file a registration statement on Form S-3 to register the resale of the Shares as well as the shares of common stock underlying the Warrant. The Company expects to file the registration statement no later than June 10, 2014.
The foregoing description of the Warrant does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Warrant filed as exhibit 4.1 hereto, which is incorporated by reference herein.

THIS WARRANT TO PURCHASE STOCK (THIS “WARRANT”) CERTIFIES THAT, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, Juniper Networks, Inc., a Delaware, or its assignee (“Holder”), is entitled to purchase the number of fully paid and nonassessable shares of the class of securities (the “Shares”) of PALO ALTO NETWORKS, INC. (the “Company”) at the Warrant Price, all as set forth above and as adjusted pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, subject to the provisions and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Warrant.

EXERCISE
EXERCISE
1.1 Method of Exercise.
1.1.1 Holder may exercise this Warrant, in whole or in part at any time prior to the Expiration Date, by delivering this Warrant and a duly executed Notice of Exercise in substantially the form attached as Appendix I to the principal office of the Company (or such other appropriate location as Holder is so instructed by the Company).
1.1.2 Upon exercise of this Warrant, in whole or in part, Holder shall receive a number of Shares equal to the value of this Warrant (or of any portion of this Warrant being canceled) by surrender of this Warrant at the principal office of the Company (or such other office or agency as the Company may designate) together with a properly completed and executed Notice of Exercise reflecting such election, in which event the Company shall issue to Holder that number of Shares computed using the following formula:
X | = | Y (A – B) |
A | ||
Where:
1
X | = | The number of Shares to be issued to Holder |
Y | = | The number of Shares being exercised under this Warrant or, if only a portion of the Warrant is being exercised, the portion of the Warrant being canceled (at the date of such calculation) |
A | = | The fair market value of one Share (at the date of such calculation) |
B | = | The Warrant Price per share (as adjusted to the date of such calculation) |
1.2 Calculation of FMV. For purposes of the calculation above, the fair market value of one Share shall be the volume-weighted sales price per share rounded to four decimal places of the Common Stock on the New York Stock Exchange for the consecutive period of five (5) business days beginning at 9:30am New York time on the fifth (5th) business day immediately preceding the date of such calculation and concluding at 4:00 p.m. New York time on the first (1st) business day immediately preceding the date of such calculation, as calculated by Bloomberg Financial LP under the function “VWAP” for the Bloomberg security “PANW US Equity.”
1.3 Automatic Exercise. If the Holder has not elected to exercise this Warrant prior to the Expiration Date, then this Warrant shall automatically (without any act on the part of the Holder) be exercised pursuant to Section 1.1.2 effective immediately prior to the expiration of the Warrant to the extent such net issue exercise would result in the issuance of Shares, unless Holder shall earlier provide written notice to the Company that the Holder desires that this Warrant expire unexercised. If this Warrant is automatically exercised, the Company shall notify the Holder of the automatic exercise as soon as reasonably practicable, and the Holder shall surrender the Warrant to the Company in accordance with the terms hereof.
1.4 Delivery of Shares and New Warrant. Within two (2) business days after Holder exercises this Warrant, the Company shall deliver to Holder the Shares so acquired, provided that such Shares shall be deemed delivered upon the Company’s delivery of evidence of a book-entry or similar position through The Depository Trust & Closing Corporation or any other depository or similar functionary, credited to an account for the benefit of Holder. If this Warrant has not been fully exercised and has not expired, a new warrant representing the Shares not so acquired shall be issued to Holder.
1.5 Replacement of Warrant. In the case of loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, upon delivery of an indemnity agreement reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of mutilation, upon surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense shall execute and deliver, in lieu of this Warrant, a new warrant of like tenor.
ARTICLE 2
ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES AND NOTIFICATION OF CERTAIN EVENTS
ADJUSTMENTS TO THE SHARES AND NOTIFICATION OF CERTAIN EVENTS
2.1 Fractional Shares. No fractional Shares shall be issuable upon exercise of this Warrant and the Number of Shares to be issued shall be rounded down to the nearest whole Share. If a fractional share interest arises upon any exercise of this Warrant, the Company shall eliminate such fractional share interest by paying Holder an amount computed by multiplying the fractional interest by the fair market value, as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors, of a full Share.
2.2 Adjustments. Subject to the expiration of this Warrant pursuant to Section 5.1, the number and kind of shares purchasable hereunder and the Warrant Price therefor are subject to adjustment from time to time, as follows:
2.2.1 Merger or Reorganization. If at any time there shall be any reorganization, recapitalization, merger or consolidation (a “Reorganization”) involving the Company (other than as otherwise provided for
2
herein) in which shares of the Company’s stock are converted into or exchanged for securities, cash or other property, then, as a part of such Reorganization, lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon exercise of this Warrant, the kind and amount of securities, cash or other property of the successor corporation resulting from such Reorganization, equivalent in value to that which a holder of the Shares deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant would have been entitled in such Reorganization if the right to purchase the Shares hereunder had been exercised immediately prior to such Reorganization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the successor corporation) shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Warrant with respect to the rights and interests of the Holder after such Reorganization to the end that the provisions of this Warrant shall be applicable after the event, as near as reasonably may be, in relation to any shares or other securities deliverable after that event upon the exercise of this Warrant.
2.2.2 Reclassification of Shares. If the securities issuable upon exercise of this Warrant are changed into the same or a different number of securities of any other class or classes by reclassification, capital reorganization or otherwise (other than as otherwise provided for herein) (a “Reclassification”), then, in any such event, in lieu of the number of Shares which the Holder would otherwise have been entitled to receive, the Holder shall have the right thereafter to exercise this Warrant for a number of shares of such other class or classes of stock that a holder of the number of securities deliverable upon exercise of this Warrant immediately before that change would have been entitled to receive in such Reclassification, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein with respect to such other shares.
2.2.3 Subdivisions and Combinations. In the event that the outstanding shares of common stock are subdivided (by stock split, by payment of a stock dividend or otherwise) into a greater number of shares of such securities, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such subdivision shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such subdivision, be proportionately increased, and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately decreased, and in the event that the outstanding shares of common stock are combined (by reclassification or otherwise) into a lesser number of shares of such securities, the number of Shares issuable upon exercise of the rights under this Warrant immediately prior to such combination shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such combination, be proportionately decreased, and the Warrant Price shall be proportionately increased.
2.2.4 Notice of Adjustments. Upon any adjustment in accordance with this Section 2.2, the Company shall give notice thereof to the Holder, which notice shall state the event giving rise to the adjustment, the Warrant Price as adjusted and the number of securities or other property purchasable upon the exercise of the rights under this Warrant, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation of each. The Company shall, upon the written request of any Holder, furnish or cause to be furnished to such Holder a certificate setting forth (i) such adjustments, (ii) the Warrant Price at the time in effect and (iii) the number of securities and the amount, if any, of other property that at the time would be received upon exercise of this Warrant.
2.3 Notification of Certain Events. Prior to the Expiration Date, in the event that the Company shall authorize:
2.3.1 the issuance of any dividend or other distribution on the capital stock of the Company (other than (i) dividends or distributions otherwise provided for in Section 2.2.4, or (ii) any repurchases of common stock of the Company), whether in cash, property, stock or other securities; or
2.3.2 the voluntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company
3
the Company shall send to the Holder at least ten (10) days prior written notice of the date on which a record shall be taken for any such dividend or distribution specified in clause 2.3.1 or the expected effective date of any such other event specified in clause 2.3.2. The notice provisions set forth in this section may be shortened or waived prospectively or retrospectively by the consent of the Holder.
