Summary
Teradyne, Inc. filed an 8-K on October 15, 2003, to report on its financial results for the quarter ended September 28, 2003.

Investors should note that this Form 8-K itself does not contain the detailed financial statements or management's discussion. Instead, it directs readers to the attached press release (Exhibit 99.1) for the specific operational and financial condition updates for the third quarter of 2003. The filing emphasizes that the information within this report and the press release is not deemed "filed" for certain regulatory purposes, meaning it may not be subject to the same liabilities under Section 18 of the Exchange Act.
