Unless otherwise indicated, use in this prospectus supplement of the terms:
·
"Agilent," "we," "us," "our" and "our company" refer to Agilent Technologies, Inc., a Delaware corporation,

Our Company
Agilent Technologies, Inc. is the world's premier measurement company, providing core bio-analytical and
electronic measurement solutions to the life sciences, chemical analysis, communications and electronics industries. We
currently have three primary businesses: the life sciences business, the chemical analysis business and the electronic
measurement business.
·
Our life sciences business focuses on the life sciences industry and provides application-focused solutions that
include instruments, software, consumables and services that enable customers to identify, quantify and
analyze the physical and biological properties of substances and products. Our key life sciences product
categories include DNA microarrays, microfluidics-based sample analysis systems, liquid chromatography,
liquid chromatography mass spectrometry, capillary electrophoresis, laboratory software and informatics, bio-
reagents and related products, laboratory automation and robotics, and related services and support, and, with
the acquisition of Varian, Inc., also includes research products such as nuclear magnetic resonance, magnetic
resonance imaging and x-ray imaging products. Our life sciences business generated net revenues of
approximately $1.2 billion in fiscal 2009 and approximately $700 million in the six months ended April 30,
2010.

·
Our chemical analysis business focuses on the environmental, chemical, food and petrochemical industries
and provides application-focused solutions that include instruments, software, consumables and services that
enable customers to identify, quantify and analyze the physical and biological properties of substances and
products. Our acquisition of Varian substantially expanded our chemical analysis portfolio and expertise. Our
key product categories now include gas chromatography systems, columns and components, gas
chromatography mass spectrometry systems, inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, spectroscopy
analyzers, software and data systems, and services and support for the aforementioned products. Our chemical
analysis business generated net revenues of approximately $0.9 billion in fiscal 2009 and approximately
$500 million in the six months ended April 30, 2010.

·
Our electronic measurement business focuses on the communications and electronics industries and provides
standard and customized electronic measurement instruments and systems monitoring, management and
optimization tools for communications networks and services, software design tools and related services that
are used in the design, development, manufacture, installation, deployment and operation of electronics
equipment,

communications networks and services, and microscopy products. This business also includes our
semiconductor test and printed circuit board test operations. Related services include start-up assistance,
instrument productivity and application services and instrument calibration and repair. We also offer
customization, consulting and optimization services throughout the customer's product lifecycle. Our
electronic measurement business generated net revenues of approximately $2.4 billion in fiscal 2009 and
approximately $1.3 billion in the six months ended April 30, 2010.
Agilent Laboratories, our centralized research organization, conducts applied research that creates high-impact
technology that can be transferred to our business units, driving market leadership in our core businesses and expanding our
measurement footprint into adjacent markets. Agilent Laboratories provides technology integration and synergies across our
businesses to create competitive differentiation and customer value.
On May 14, 2010, we completed our acquisition of Varian, a leading supplier of scientific instrumentation and
associated consumables for life science and applied market applications, for a total cash purchase price of approximately
$1.5 billion. Varian's products include analytical instruments, research products and related software, consumable products,
accessories and services, as well as vacuum products and related services and accessories. The acquisition broadens Agilent's
applications and solutions offerings in life sciences, environmental, and energy and materials. It also expands Agilent's
product portfolio into atomic and molecular spectroscopy; establishes a leading position in nuclear magnetic resonance,
imaging and vacuum technologies; and strengthens our consumables portfolio. We financed the purchase price of Varian
using the proceeds from our September 2009 offering of senior notes and other existing cash. Varian's cash acquired at
completion of the acquisition was approximately $225 million.
In connection with the review of the Varian acquisition by antitrust authorities, we committed to sell certain of
Varian's operations, and these divestitures were completed on May 19, 2010. In addition, on May 1, 2010, we completed the
sale of the Network Solutions Division of our electronic measurement business to JDS Uniphase Corporation for
$165 million, which is subject to post-closing working capital and other adjustments.
Our life sciences and chemical analysis customers include pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies, contract
research and contract manufacturing organizations, academic and governmental organizations, environmental laboratories,
petro-chemical refiners and bio-agricultural companies. Our electronic measurement customers include contract
manufacturers, handset manufacturers, network equipment manufacturers that design, develop, manufacture and install
network equipment, and service providers who implement, maintain and manage communication networks and services. We
sell our products primarily through direct sales, as well as through distributors, resellers, manufacturers' representatives,
telesales and electronic commerce. Agilent has a highly diversified global customer base and no one customer represented
more than 5% of total consolidated net revenues in the three months ended April 30, 2010.
Of our total net revenue of approximately $2.5 billion for the six months ended April 30, 2010, we generated
31 percent in the United States and 69 percent outside the United States. As of April 30, 2010, we employed approximately
16,100 people worldwide, and subsequent to April 30, 2010 approximately 3,000 employees joined from Varian. Our
primary research, development and manufacturing sites are in California, Colorado and Delaware in the United States and in
China, Germany, Japan, Malaysia, Singapore and the United Kingdom.
