Explanatory Note

In the Current Report on Form 8-K filed by CommScope Holding Company, Inc. (the “Company”) on October 25, 2021 (the “Initial Form 8-K”), the Company announced the appointment of Kyle D. Lorentzen as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, effective November 1, 2021. At the time of the filing of the Initial Form 8-K, the Company had not yet finalized the details of any changes to Mr. Lorentzen’s compensation in his new role with the Company. This Current Report on Form 8-K/A amends the Initial Form 8-K to disclose certain changes to Mr. Lorentzen’s compensation in connection with his appointment as Chief Financial Officer of the Company.

Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On November 16, 2021, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Committee”) of CommScope Holding Company, Inc. (the “Company”) approved changes to the compensation of Kyle D. Lorentzen, in connection with his appointment as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Effective as of November 1, 2021 (the date on which Mr. Lorentzen became Chief Financial Officer), the Committee approved an increase in Mr. Lorentzen’s annual base salary to $675,000 per year, and an increase in the target annual bonus amount for which he is eligible to 95% of this base salary, subject to achievement of performance goals established by the Committee.

The Committee also approved the grant of $175,000 in aggregate value of restricted stock units to Mr. Lorentzen, to be granted on December 1, 2021, which will vest in equal annual installments on the first three anniversaries of the grant date subject to his continued service with the Company. The number of restricted stock units to be granted will be based upon the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The form award certificate that will be used for Mr. Lorentzen’s restricted stock unit award was previously filed as Exhibits 10.2 of the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 1, 2020, and is incorporated herein by reference.
