SAFE HARBOR FOR FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS AND OTHER IMPORTANT INFORMATION

This document contains statements regarding the proposed transaction between Lucent and Alcatel, the expected timetable
for completing the transaction, future financial and operating results, benefits and synergies of the proposed transaction and
other statements about Lucent and Alcatel’s managements’ future expectations, beliefs, goals, plans or prospects that are
based on current expectations, estimates, forecasts and projections about Lucent and Alcatel and the combined company,
as well as Lucent’s and Alcatel’s and the combined company’s future performance and the industries in which Lucent and
Alcatel operate and the combined company will operate, in addition to managements’ assumptions. Words such as
“expects,” “anticipates,” “targets,” “goals,” “projects,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” variations of such
words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements which are not statements of historical
facts. These forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties
and assumptions that are difficult to assess. Therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is
expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties are based upon a number of
important factors including, among others: the ability to consummate the proposed transaction; difficulties and delays in
obtaining regulatory approvals for the proposed transaction; difficulties and delays in achieving synergies and cost savings;
potential difficulties in meeting conditions set forth in the definitive merger agreement entered into by Lucent and Alcatel;
fluctuations in the telecommunications market; the pricing, cost and other risks inherent in long-term sales agreements;
exposure to the credit risk of customers; reliance on a limited number of contract manufacturers to supply products we sell;
the social, political and economic risks of our respective global operations; the costs and risks associated with pension and
postretirement benefit obligations; the complexity of products sold; changes to existing regulations or technical standards;
existing and future litigation; difficulties and costs in protecting intellectual property rights and exposure to infringement
claims by others; and compliance with environmental, health and safety laws. For a more complete list and description of
such risks and uncertainties, refer to Lucent’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended September 30, 2005 and
quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the periods ended December 31, 2005 and March 31, 2006 and Alcatel’s annual report
on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2005, as amended, as well as other filings by Lucent and Alcatel with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Except as required under the U.S. federal securities laws and the
rules and regulations of the SEC, Lucent and Alcatel disclaim any intention or obligation to update any forward-looking
statements after the distribution of this document, whether as a result of new information, future events, developments,
changes in assumptions or otherwise.
