Frequently Asked Questions
Where can I find the detailed financial results for Ciena's fiscal first quarter?
The detailed financial results are provided in the press release (Exhibit 99.1) and the investor presentation (Exhibit 99.2) furnished with the 8-K filing on March 7, 2024. These documents can be accessed through Ciena's investor relations website or the SEC's EDGAR database.
What is the significance of the information being 'furnished' rather than 'filed'?
When information is 'furnished' under Item 2.02, it means it's being made available to the public but does not carry the same legal implications as 'filed' information under Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. This means Ciena is generally not subject to liability under Section 18 for this specific information, and it won't automatically be incorporated into future SEC registration statements unless specifically included.
When did Ciena's fiscal first quarter end?
Ciena's fiscal first quarter ended on January 27, 2024.
What should investors do if they want the most up-to-date information from Ciena?
Ciena encourages investors to regularly review the 'Investors' section of their website (www.ciena.com) as they may post material information exclusively on that site, in addition to their SEC filings and conference calls.
