        <footnote id="F1">Represents shares of Comverse Common Stock deliverable in settlement of awards of deferred stock units of 30,000, 25,000 and
 32,500 shares granted on May 30, 2007 (the &quot;2007 Award&quot;), 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 2007 Award vested on each of May 21,
 2008 and May 21, 2009, with delivery of such vested shares being deferred to the first date following such vesting dates on
 which such shares are the subject of an effective registration statement on Form S-8, but in no event later than December
 31, 2010. The remaining shares deliverable in settlement of the 2007 Award are scheduled to vest and be delivered on May 21,
 2010.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F2">(Continuation of Footnote 1) 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="F3">(Continuation of Footnote 2) One-third (1/3) of the shares deliverable in settlement of the 2009 Award are scheduled to vest
 and be delivered 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 shares vested on such vesting date 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="F4">(Continuation of Footnote 3) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the vesting and delivery of 7,500 shares in settlement of the
 2009 Award was conditioned upon the achievement by Comverse, Inc. of a specified performance criterion based on pro forma
 operating income for fiscal year 2009.  As such criterion was not achieved, the portion of the 2009 Award relating to such
 7,500 shares was forfeited.  Such 7,500 shares of the 2009 Award for which the performance criterion relates are not
 included in Column 2 of Table 1.</footnote>
        <footnote id="F5">This amendment is solely to eliminate reference to 7,500 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>
