        <footnote id="F1">Represents shares of Comverse Common Stock deliverable in settlement of awards of deferred stock units of 36,000 and 54,000
 shares granted on March 7, 2008 (the &quot;2008 Award&quot;) and April 6, 2009 (the &quot;2009 Award&quot;), respectively. One-third (1/3) of
 the shares deliverable in settlement of the 2008 Award vested on March 7, 2009, with delivery of such vested shares being
 deferred to the first date following such vesting date on which such shares are the subject of an effective registration
 statement on Form S-8, but in no event later than March 15, 2010. One-third (1/3) of the shares deliverable in settlement of
 the 2008 Award are scheduled to vest and be delivered on each of March 7, 2010 and March 7, 2011.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">(Continuation of Footnote 1) One-third (1/3) of the shares deliverable in settlement of the 2009 Award are scheduled to vest
 on each of April 6, 2010, April 6, 2011 and April 6, 2012, subject to accelerated vesting under certain circumstances,
 provided that, if on any vesting date there is no effective registration statement on Form S-8 in respect of such shares,
 the delivery of the vested shares will be deferred to the first date following such vesting date on which such shares are
 the subject of an effective registration statement on Form S-8, but in no event later than March 15 of the year succeeding
 such vesting date.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F3">(Continuation of Footnote 2) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the vesting and delivery of 18,000 shares in settlement of the
 2009 Award was conditioned upon the achievement by Comverse, Inc. of a specified performance criterion based on the pro
 forma operating income for fiscal year 2009.  As such criterion was not achieved, the portion of the 2009 Award relating to
 such 18,000 shares was forfeited.  Such 18,000 shares of the 2009 Award for which the performance criterion relates are not
 included in Column 2 of Table 1.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F4">This amendment is solely to eliminate reference to 18,000 shares underlying the 2009 Award that were subject to a performance
 criterion that was not achieved.  Except for the foregoing, no new or revised holdings are being reported.  All other
 disclosure in the original Form 3 remains unchanged.</footnote>
