The information in this Current Report on Form 8-K, including the exhibit, is furnished pursuant to Item 2.02 and shall not be deemed to be “filed” for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (“Exchange Act”), or otherwise subject to the liabilities of that section.

Cautionary Statements

The press release contains forward-looking statements relating to our anticipated results of operations for the quarter ending January 2, 2009 that are based upon the current expectations and beliefs of Trimble’s management and are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements. For example, our results have not been reviewed by our independent public accountants and any changes or adjustments required as we finalize our financial statements for the quarter could cause our results to vary.

The financial information presented herein is unaudited and is subject to change as a result of subsequent events or adjustments, if any, arising prior to the filing of the Company’s financial information with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The Company does not undertake any obligation to publicly update any forward-looking statements to reflect events, circumstances or new information after the January 14, 2009 press release to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.

For a detailed discussion of these and other cautionary statements, please refer to the risk factors discussed in filings with the SEC, including but not limited to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2007 and any subsequently filed reports. All documents are also available through the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov or from the Company’s website at www.trimble.com.
