Such statements involve risks, uncertainties and assumptions. If such risks or uncertainties materialize or such assumptions prove incorrect, the results of HPE and its consolidated subsidiaries could differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and assumptions. The words “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “guide”, “optimistic”, “intend”, “aim”, “will”, “estimates”, “may”, “could”, “should” and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to, any statements regarding the outcome of the litigation; ability of HPE to integrate and implement its plans, forecasts and other expectations with respect to Juniper’s business after the completion of the transaction, and to realize additional opportunities for growth and innovation; any statements regarding the expected benefits of the transaction contemplated by this document, including enhanced opportunities for growth, the delivery of customer benefits and the realization and timing of economic benefits; any statements concerning the expected development, performance, market share or competitive performance relating to products or services; any statements of expectation or belief; and any statements of assumptions underlying any of the foregoing.
