*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	On December 21, 2018, Citrix Systems, Inc ("Citrix") paid a cash dividend of $0.35 per share on each share of its outstanding common stock. The dividend was payable to all holders of Citrix's common stock on the record date, December 7, 2018. The Reporting Person received certain additional restricted stock units as a result of this cash dividend. These additional units are subject to the same conditions regarding vesting and settlement as the underlying restricted stock units to which they relate. Any fractional shares will round up at vesting.
(2)	As reported at the time of grant of the underlying restricted stock units, each performance-based restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of the Issuer's common stock. The performance-based units vest based on the Issuer's total shareholder return, determined at the three-year period ending on March 30, 2019 or upon a change in control of the Issuer.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.
