        <footnote id="F1">This Amendment is being filed to delete the second line item from Table I of the Form 3 filed on behalf of the reporting person on March 7 2019 the Initial Form 3 which reported a holding of 2000 performance share units awarded to the reporting person under the ADTRAN Inc. 2015 Employee Stock Incentive Plan.  The number of performance shares ultimately earned by the reporting person pursuant to the award will be based on the issuers relative total shareholder return against a peer group over a three year performance period.  The acquisition of the underlying shares of common stock will be reported at the end of the three year performance period to the extent earned.  This Amendment does not otherwise alter or change the information presented in the Initial Form 3.</footnote>
