Exhibit 1 / Anlage 1

Officer’s Remuneration

1.Base Salary

The Officer’s Base Salary is USD 410,000 (see Section 3.1 a) of the Amendment of the Officer’s Employment Agreement dated May 26, 2023) (“Base Salary”).

A 25% reduction of the Base Salary for the period between November 1, 2023 and July 31, 2024 (“Base Salary Reduction”) was implemented in order to support cost improvement initiatives. The Compensation Committee of Adtran proposed a mitigating equity grant for the Officer; however, such grant of stock options to the Officer was not possible due to German law. Consequently, the 25% salary reduction in the Officer’s Base Salary was reversed in 2024. The total Base Salary compensation to be paid in 2024 is USD 427,083, inclusive of the USD 410,000 Base Salary and USD 17,083 for the November and December 2023 true-up. For clarification, the 2024 Base Salary true up in an amount of USD 17,083 will not be applicable for the year 2025 or thereafter.

2.Annual Target Incentive Cash Bonus:

An Annual Target Incentive Cash Bonus (“Annual Cash Bonus”) in amount of 60% of the Base Salary of USD 410,000 that amounts to USD 246,000 (EUR 223.636). This Annual Cash Bonus is calculated based on the achievement of two Company Performance Measurements (“CPM”): 1) Total Company Revenue of Adtran and 2) Total Company Adjusted Earnings before Interest and Taxes ("Adjusted EBIT") of Adtran, each CPM comes with a minimum threshold for payout, a "target", and a maximum, with linear increase for the payout percentage that will be interpolated up to the Maximum based on actual achievement of each CPM and subject to Adtran’s specific terms of the Annual Cash Bonus. The actual payout may be between 0% to 200% of target based on achievement.

3.Annual Grant time-based RSUs:

An annual grant of time-based restricted stock units ("RSUs”) in a target amount of 40% of Base Salary of USD 410,000 that amounts to USD 164,000 (EUR 149.0911) (“Annual RSU Grant”) with 25% vesting on each of the first four anniversaries of the grant date settled through delivery of one Adtran share of common stock for each vested RSU conditioned upon an existing employment relationship on the applicable vesting date. The grants are subject to Adtran’s specific terms of the Annual RSU Grant, and an exercise profit limitation (Cap) in case of a value increase to 300%

Amendment to Officer’s Employment Agreement – Dienstvertragsänderung für Vorstandsmitglied

between disbursement and conversion, taking into consideration all RSUs allocated within the grant for Officer of USD 492,000.

The Annual RSU Grant for 2024 granted on January 26, 2024 (Employee Grant Number 5801) by Adtran has been adjusted in full due to available equity from 22,466 RSUs down to 13,321 RSUs. Details of this adjustment can be found in the minutes of Company’s Compensation and Nomination Committee and of Company’s Supervisory Board meetings.

4.Annual Grant market-based PSUs:

An annual grant of market-based performance stock units (“market-based PSU”) in a target amount of 40% of Base Salary of USD 410,000 that amounts to USD 164,000 (EUR 149.0911) with payout based on Adtran’s relative Total Shareholder Return (“TSR”) performance compared to the Nasdaq Telecommunications Index over a 3-year performance period from January 26, 2024, to January 26, 2027 ("Annual PSU Grant”). Depending on Adtran’s relative TSR over the performance period, Officer may earn from 0% of the target number of market-based PSUs if the relative TSR performance is not at least equal to the 30th percentile of the peer group, and 150% of the target number of market-based PSUs if the relative TSR performance of Adtran equals or exceeds the 80th percentile of the peer group, based on the sliding scale where approximately 4.0 % of the target award is earned for each 1 percentile increase up to 100% of the target award and then approximately 2.0% of the target award is earned for each 1 percentile increase up to 150% of the grant. However, there is a 100% payout cap when Adtran’s TSR out-performs the NASDAQ Telecommunications Index, but Adtran’s TSR is negative. The recipients of the market-based PSUs receive dividend credits, provided dividends are declared and paid to shareholders, in cash based on the shares of common stock underlying the market-based PSUs. The grants are subject to an exercise limitation in case of achievement of the 150% maximum target and a share value increase to 200% between disbursement and conversion, taking into consideration all market-based PSUs allocated within the grant (Cap) for Officer of USD 492,000.

The Annual PSU Grant for 2024 granted on January 26, 2024 (Employee Grant Number 5817) by Adtran has been adjusted in full due to available equity from 22,466 RSUs down to 13,321 RSUs. Details of this adjustment can be found in the minutes of Company’s Compensation and Nomination Committee and of Company’s Supervisory Board meetings.

5.Ongoing 3-Year Performance-Based PSUs (for the period ending 31 December 2025):

On May 24, 2023, performance-based performance stock units (“performance-based PSUs”) in a target amount of USD 1,000,000 (EUR 934.579) or 60,205 shares were granted to Officer by Adtran (Employee Grant Number 5220). Pursuant to the terms of the award, shares are eligible to be earned at the end of the 3-year performance period ending on December 31, 2025 based on achievement of Adtran’s Adjusted EBIT of USD[***] during such performance period. The recipients of the performance-based PSUs also receive dividend credits, provided dividends are declared and paid to shareholders, in cash based on the shares of common stock underlying the performance-based PSUs. The grants are subject to an exercise limitation in case of a share value increase to 200% of the originally allocated PSUs between disbursement and conversion, taking into consideration all performance-based PSUs originally allocated (Cap) for Officer’s grant of USD 2,000,000.

6.Ongoing 2-Year Integration One-Time Bonus (for the period ending 31 December 2024):

A 2-Year-Integration One-Time Bonus in which Officer is eligible to earn 0%, 33%, or 66% of the Base Salary of USD 410,000 (EUR 372.727) in performance-based PSUs (a max of 66% of the Base Salary), as well as between 0% and 66% of the Base Salary in cash (a max of 66% of the Base Salary), leading to a combined payout between 0% and 132% max of the Base Salary depending on synergy savings thresholds/targets and related individual goals. Pursuant to the terms of the award, Adtran pays the cash award, if any, and issues one share of common stock for every earned performance-based PSU, if any, to the Officer after the level of achievement of the performance goal is certified. As a result, Adtran granted the Officer a target amount of 16,291 performance-based PSUs (Employee Grant Number 5214) and a target cash bonus of USD 270,600 on May 24, 2023. The grants are subject to the Integration Bonus Plan and the below individual objectives, as well as an exercise limitation of the maximum target and a share value increase to 200% between disbursement and conversion (Cap) for Officer’s grant beyond USD 820,000.
