ITEM I.
On April 27, 1998, Yurie Systems, Inc. ("Yurie" or "Company") entered into
a merger agreement with Lucent Technologies Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Lucent" or "Parent") and its wholly owned subsidiary, Reindeer Acquisition,

PART III
The following information hereby supplements and amends Part III:
ITEM 10. DIRECTORS AND EXECUTIVE OFFICERS OF THE REGISTRANT
The following sets forth certain information as of the date hereof with
respect to the Company's directors. The agreement and plan of merger entered
into by the Company, the Purchaser, and Lucent on April 27, 1998 (the "Merger
Agreement") provides that promptly upon the acceptance for payment of, and
payment for, Shares by the Purchaser pursuant to the Offer, the Purchaser will
be entitled to designate such number of directors on the Board of Directors of
the Company (the "Purchaser Designees") as will give the Purchaser, subject to
compliance with Section 14(f) of the Exchange Act, representation on the
Company's Board of Directors equal to the product of (1) the total number of
directors on the Company's Board of Directors and (2) the percentage that the
number of Shares purchased by Purchaser in the Offer bears to the number of
Shares outstanding, and the Company will, at such time, cause the Purchaser
Designees to be so elected by its existing Board of Directors. Subject to
applicable law, the Company has agreed to take all action requested by the
Purchaser necessary to effect any such election, including mailing to its
stockholders an information statement. The Merger Agreement provides
that in the event that the Purchaser Designees are elected to the Board of
Directors of the Company, until the effective time of the Merger the Board of
Directors of the Company will have at least two directors who are directors on
the date of Merger Agreement and who are not officers of the Company or any of
its subsidiaries (the "Independent Directors") and; provided further, that in
such event if the number of Independent Directors shall be reduced below two for
any reason whatsoever, the remaining Independent Director shall designate a
person to fill such vacancy who shall be deemed to be an Independent Director
for purposes of the Merger Agreement, or if no Independent Directors then
remain, the other directors of the Company on the date of the Merger Agreement
shall designate two persons to fill such vacancies who shall not be officers or
affiliates of the Company and its subsidiaries or of Parent or any of its
subsidiaries and such persons shall be deemed to be Independent Directors for
purposes of the Merger Agreement. The Merger Agreement also provides that the
Company will promptly, at the option of the Purchaser, either increase the size
of the Company's Board of Directors and/or obtain the resignation of such
number of its current directors as is necessary to enable the Purchaser
Designees to be elected or appointed to, and constitute a majority of the
Company's Board of Directors as provided above. Biographical information
concerning the Company's current directors and executive officers as of April

STOCK OPTION PLAN
Under the Company's Stock Option Plan, stock option awards may be made to
employees, consultants, directors and officers of the Company. The purposes of
the Stock Option Plan are to attract, retain and motivate the best available
officers (executive or otherwise), other employees and consultants for positions
of substantial responsibility, to give such officers, employees and consultants
a greater personal stake in the success of the Company's business, to provide
additional incentive to the Company's officers and employees to continue and
advance in their employment and service to the Company and to promote the
success of the Company's business.
The Stock Option Plan was adopted by the Company's Board of Directors on
January 31, 1996 and amended and restated on May 14, 1997 to increase the
maximum number of Shares issuable under the Stock Option Plan. The Company's
shareholders approved the amended and restated Stock Option Plan on June 26,
1997. A total of 7.0 million Shares have been reserved for issuance under the
Stock Option Plan, 27,233 of which may be issued under the Data Labs Plan
described below. The Stock Option Plan will remain effective until all Shares
available for issuance under the Plan have been issued, unless sooner terminated
by action of the Board of Directors. The number and kind of Shares subject to
the Stock Option Plan may be adjusted by the Board to prevent dilution or
enlargement of rights in the event of a merger, consolidation, sale of all or
substantially all of the assets of the Company, reorganization,
reclassification, stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or other
similar distribution with respect to the outstanding Shares. No individual may
be granted options to purchase more than 1,500,000 Shares in any year under the
Stock Option Plan. An additional amendment to the Stock Option Plan, adopted by
the Board of Directors on July 30, 1997, provides that stock options granted
pursuant to the Stock Option Plan are transferable to members of the option
holder's "immediate family" (as defined in the Stock Option Plan), subject to
the terms and conditions of the Stock Option Plan.
The Stock Option Plan is administered by the Board of Directors, although
the Board is in some cases authorized (and in some cases required) to delegate
the administration of the Stock Option Plan to a committee. The Board (or the
committee) is authorized to modify or amend the Stock Option Plan at any time.
The Board (or the committee) is further authorized to select the optionees and
determine the terms of the options granted, including: (i) the number of Shares
subject to each option; (ii) when the option becomes exercisable; (iii) the
duration of the option and (iv) any other appropriate term of the option
agreement. The Board (or the committee) also may accelerate or extend the time
at which any option may be exercised. The Stock Option Plan requires that the
exercise price of each option be set at the fair market value of the Shares on
the effective date of the grant.
As of April 24, 1998, options to acquire an aggregate of 5,484,329 Shares
were outstanding pursuant to the Stock Option Plan (net of canceled options) and
925,786 Shares remained for future grants. In general, these options vest over a
four-year period from their grant date and expire after a specified period not
to exceed ten years. Neither Dr. Kim nor Mr. Li hold any options to purchase
Shares under the Stock Option Plan. Other executive officers and directors have
been granted options to purchase Shares under the Stock Option Plan as of April
24, 1998 as follows: Harry J. Carr -- 1,000,000; Barton Y. Shigemura --
1,000,000; Harry J. D'Andrea -- 150,000; John J. McDonnell -- 30,000; Herbert
Rabin -- 126,000; R. James Woolsey -- 105,000; Kenneth D. Brody -- 80,000; and
William J. Perry -- 80,000. These options have exercise prices ranging from $.52
to $17.06 per share and a weighted average exercise price of $4.84. All of these
options vest periodically through June 2001.
The options granted under the Stock Option Plan are not incentive stock
options within the meaning of Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code.
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
Directors who are not employees of the Company each receive $5,000 per year
for serving on the Board of Directors, and are reimbursed for their travel and
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with attendance at meetings of the
Board of Directors or committees thereof. In addition, the Company's Stock
Option Plan provides for automatic annual grants to non-employee directors of
5,000 stock options on June 30
6
<PAGE> 8
of each year, vesting over a four-year period. Each of Drs. Rabin and Perry, and
Messrs. Woolsey and Brody received automatic grants of options to purchase 5,000
Shares during 1997. Non-employee directors may also receive options to purchase
Shares upon their initial appointment or election to the Board of Directors.

options to purchase 75,000 Shares. Options granted to directors during 1997 have
a weighted average exercise price of $10.70 and vest periodically over four
years. See "Stock Option Plan."
EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS AND CHANGE-IN-CONTROL PROVISIONS
The Company has an employment agreement with Dr. Kim, its Chief Executive
Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors (the "Kim Employment Agreement").
Pursuant to the Kim Employment Agreement, Dr. Kim receives an annual salary of
$200,000 and a bonus of 20% of his annual base salary or such other amount as

pursuant to a registration rights agreement. The Kim Employment Agreement will
terminate upon the consummation of the Offer pursuant to the terms of a
retention agreement, dated as of April 27, 1998, among Parent, Purchaser, the
Company, the Bank of New York and Dr. Kim. Dr. Kim's retention agreement is
described in Section 12 of Parent's offer to purchase, dated April 30, 1998,

salary for the then-current year and a "bonus amount" (as defined in the Li

agreement is described in Section 12 of Parent's Offer to Purchase, and is
incorporated herein by reference.

Chief Operating Officer (the "Carr Employment Agreement"). Pursuant to the Carr
Employment Agreement, Mr. Carr will receive an annual salary of $200,000 and a

7
<PAGE> 9
payment equal to Mr. Carr's base salary for then-current year and a "bonus
amount" (as defined in the Carr Employment Agreement), and continue his benefits
for up to one year. Throughout his employment, Mr. Carr is bound by a covenant
not to compete, which prevents him from engaging in any business in the United
States in which the Company is then involved. Unless terminated by the Company
other than for "disability" or "cause," or by Mr. Carr for "good reason," Mr.
Carr will continue to be bound by this covenant not to compete for one year
after his termination. In connection with the Carr Employment Agreement, the
Company granted Mr. Carr options to purchase 1,000,000 Shares (the "Carr
Options"). The vesting schedule of the Carr Options follows the Stock Option
Plan, including the vesting provisions that are triggered upon a change in
control of the Company. If Mr. Carr's employment is terminated by the Company
without "cause" or for "disability" or by Mr. Carr for "good reason," the Carr
Options will automatically become fully exercisable. In the case other than
voluntary termination by Mr. Carr, the then vested Carr Options will not
terminate until the expiration of their term. The Carr Employment Agreement will
terminate upon the consummation of the Offer pursuant to the terms of a
retention agreement, dated as of April 27, 1998, among Parent, Purchaser, the

Parent, the Purchaser and certain principal stockholders of the Company
(the "Stockholders") have entered into a Stockholders Agreement dated as of
April 27, 1998, pursuant to which each Stockholder has agreed to tender its
Shares into the Offer. These Shares represent approximately 57% of the
outstanding Shares (determined on a fully diluted basis). The Stockholders
Agreement is described in Section 12 of Parent's Offer to Purchase, and is
incorporated herein by reference.
The Stock Option Plan provides that in the event of a transaction that
constitutes a Change of Control (as defined in the Stock Option Plan) of the
Company, each outstanding option will automatically become exercisable as to all
of the option shares immediately prior to the effective date of such
transaction, subject to certain exceptions. The consummation of the Offer will
constitute a Change of Control for purposes of the Stock Option Plan.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION
No member of the Compensation Committee is a former or current officer of
the Company, nor does any executive officer serve as a member of the board of
directors or compensation committee of any entity which has one or more
executive officers serving as a member of the Company's Board of Directors or
Compensation Committee. During the fiscal year ended December 31, 1997, Mr.
Brody, Dr. Perry and Dr. Rabin (Chairman) served on the Compensation Committee.
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
The Compensation Committee sets the Company's policies with respect to
executive compensation and reviews the performance and compensation levels for
three of the Company's named executive officers: the Chief Executive Officer,
the Chief Technology Officer, and the President/Chief Operating Officer. In
accordance with the policies set by the Compensation Committee, these executive
officers, in turn, determine the compensation for the other two named executive
officers (the Chief Financial Officer and the Senior Vice President of Sales and
Marketing) as well as the other officers of the Company. The Compensation
8
<PAGE> 10
Committee or the Board of Directors approves option grants to executive officers
under the Stock Option Plan. No member of the Compensation Committee is employed
by the Company.
SUMMARY OF COMPENSATION POLICY
The Company's policy is to provide a level of compensation to executive
officers in order (i) to attract, motivate, retain and reward superior talent
and (ii) to correlate executive officer compensation with the Company's
performance, thereby aligning executive officers' interests with those of the
Company's shareholders. In considering the Company's executive compensation
levels, the Compensation Committee reviewed the compensation packages of
executive officers in comparable positions at other similarly-sized
high-technology companies. Total executive officer compensation, including
equity-based compensation, is targeted at or above the market average for
comparable positions in similarly-sized companies.
The Compensation Committee, furthermore, seeks to maintain an appropriate
balance between cash compensation and equity incentives for each executive
officer. In determining cash compensation, the Compensation Committee's policy
is to weigh each executive officer's existing equity incentives, whether in the
form of current equity ownership or potential equity ownership (based on the
future exercise of stock options) of the Company. The Company's compensation
program for its executive officers consists of base salary, long-term
compensation in the form of stock options, and cash bonuses as determined on an
individual basis.
BASE SALARIES
Base salaries for executive officers are reviewed on an annual basis and
may be adjusted annually, based on an assessment of the individual's
contribution to the Company's performance, competitive pay levels and the
individual's existing equity incentives. The base salaries of executive officers
are not dependent upon the application of specific formulas. Although each of
the named executive officers had made significant contributions to the Company's
performance, because of their significant equity interests in the Company, the
named executive officers received modest or no increases to their respective
1997 base salaries.
Two of the named executive officers, the President/Chief Operating Officer
and the Chief Financial Officer, joined the Company during 1997. The base salary
of the Chief Financial Officer was determined by the Compensation Committee and
approved by the Board of Directors. The base salary of the President/Chief
Operating Officer is set forth in an employment agreement with the Company,
which was approved by the Board of Directors. Factors taken into account in
determining the starting base salaries of these executive officers were prior
experience, expected contribution to the Company, and the relative importance of
the job in terms of achieving corporate objectives.
Base salaries for each of the President/Chief Operating Officer, the Chief
Technology Officer and Chief Executive Officer (discussed in more detail below),
are paid pursuant to employment agreements between each such executive officer
and the Company. See "Employment Agreements and Change In Control Provisions."
BONUSES
The Company's policy as to bonuses for executive officers is subjective. In
determining whether to grant a cash bonus to a particular executive officer, the
Compensation Committee considers the existing equity incentives of each
executive officer, as well as individual performance and Company's performance.
Despite commendable individual performances and strong Company performance, the
Compensation Committee awarded no cash bonuses during 1997 because of the
significant equity interests held by the three named executive officers for
which it sets bonuses. Management awarded bonuses on an individual basis to the
officers whose bonuses are not set by the Compensation Committee. In awarding
these bonuses, management took into consideration that the Company had
successfully achieved critical objectives in 1997, including (i) completing its
initial public offering, (ii) shipping a new product, the LDR 50, to customers,
(iii) increasing commercial sales, and (iv) achieving earning targets for each
1997 quarter and for fiscal 1997.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE OFFICER COMPENSATION
Dr. Jeong H. Kim has served as Chief Executive Officer of the Company since
1992. Dr. Kim's base salary, which is set at $200,000 per annum under his
employment agreement, is subject to annual review by the Board of Directors or
the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee did not make any
adjustments to the Chief Executive Officer's base salary or award any bonus to
him during 1997. This determination was based on the Compensation Committee's
assessment that Dr. Kim's interests are appropriately aligned with the Company's
interests because of his significant shareholdings of the Company's Shares.
STOCK OPTIONS
The Compensation Committee strongly believes in correlating executive
officer compensation with the long-term success of the Company through the grant
of stock options. All stock options granted to executive officers are subject to
vesting restrictions that lapse in annual increments to motivate executive
officers to stay with the Company.
The Company grants stock options to executive officers upon their joining
the Company and may make additional periodic grants thereafter to reward the
performance of executive officers and to provide incentives for future
performance. There is no established formula or criteria for grants under the
Stock Option Plan, and options are granted at intervals as determined on a
subjective basis by the Board of Directors or the Compensation Committee. Under
the Stock Option Plan, options may be granted at exercise prices equal to the
Fair Market Value (as defined in the Stock Option Plan) of the Shares on the
date of grant. Thus, as a stockholder benefits from a stock price increase above
the exercise price, an optionee likewise benefits. In this manner, the interests
of the officer and those of the Company's shareholders are aligned.
Neither the Chief Executive Officer nor the Chief Technology Officer holds
any stock options, and the Compensation Committee has not recommended stock
option grants to either of these individuals due to their existing equity
ownership of the Company. Dr. Kim and Mr. Li each holds a significant percentage
of the Company's Shares and, therefore, each participates proportionately in
increases in stockholder value.
OTHER BENEFITS
The Company does not maintain benefit plans exclusively for its executive
officers. Executive officers, as well as all other employees, are eligible to
participate in the Company's 401(k) Plan and Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
Pursuant to the 401(k) Plan, the Company provides matching contributions in the
form of Shares of up to a maximum of 5% of the employee's base salary.
COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 162(m)
The Compensation Committee will consider, if and when applicable, the
potential impact of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended, and its limit on tax deductions for annual compensation in excess of
$1,000,000 paid to the Company's Chief Executive Officer or any of the other
four most highly compensated executive officers. The Compensation Committee does
not believe that this limitation will apply to the Company in the foreseeable
future. Among other things, the individual annual base salaries (and bonuses) of
the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the other executive officers do not
currently exceed $1,000,000. In addition, the Company's Stock Option Plan has
been designed so that compensation attributable to stock options granted
pursuant to the Plan will qualify under the performance-based compensation
exception to Section 162(m).

CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS AND RELATIONSHIPS
The matters set forth elsewhere in this Form 10-K/A.
ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
On July 1, 1996, Dr. Jeong H. Kim and Kenneth D. Brody entered into an
agreement pursuant to which Mr. Brody paid $500,000 to buy an option (the "Brody
Option") to purchase 1,000,000 Shares from Dr. Kim at an exercise price of $4.00
per share. The Brody Option became fully vested on June 3, 1997. To secure Dr.
Kim's obligations to deliver Shares to Mr. Brody upon exercise of the Brody
Option, Dr. Kim granted Mr. Brody a security interest in all of the Shares
subject to the Brody Option. Mr. Brody may assign the Brody Option, in whole or
in part, subject to the limitation that each assignee (with the exception of
affiliates and family members) must be assigned a portion of the Brody Option
covering at least 200,000 Shares. The Brody Option is exercisable for a term of
20 years. As of April 24, 1998, Mr. Brody had exercised and sold 312,600 Shares
pursuant to the Brody Option, leaving 687,400 Shares subject to the Brody
Option.
During 1997, certain executive officers and directors of the Company were
granted options to purchase Shares as follows: Harry J. Carr -- 1,000,000; Harry
J. D'Andrea -- 150,000; Dr. William J. Perry -- 80,000; Kenneth D. Brody --
5,000; Dr. Herbert Rabin -- 5,000; and R. James Woolsey -- 5,000. These options
have a weighted average exercise price of $10.60 per Share.
On January 14, 1997, the Company entered into a consulting agreement with
In Y. Chung, under which Mr. Chung performed consulting and business development
activities for the Company in the Pacific Rim area. Pursuant to this consulting
agreement, the Company granted options to Mr. Chung to purchase 50,000 Shares at
an exercise price of $9.00 per Share. These options vested upon their grant. Mr.
Chung exercised these options in June 1997 and the Company issued 50,000 Shares
to Mr. Chung. Since 1997, the Company has employed Mr. Chung as Senior Advisor
to the Company's President, Harry J. Carr. The Company paid Mr. Chung $17,502 in
1997 and granted him options to purchase 100,000 Shares at an exercise price of
$20.1875 per Share in connection with his services as Senior Advisor to Mr.
Carr. Mr. Chung is the father-in-law of Dr. Jeong H. Kim.
The Company has a significant customer relationship with Splitrock
Services, Inc., a Texas corporation that provides communications services
specifically configured to meet the needs of large network users. Splitrock
purchased the underlying network assets of Prodigy Services Corporation, an
Internet service provider in 1997. Yurie and Splitrock are parties to an
agreement (the "Splitrock Agreement") that requires Splitrock to purchase a
minimum of $20.0 million of LDR products from the Company in the period from
July 1997 to December 1998 and provided for Yurie to furnish services to support
deployment and implementation of Yurie's products in Splitrock's network on a
time and materials basis. Kwok L. Li, the Chief Technology Officer and Vice
Chairman of the Board of Yurie, is Chairman of the Board of Splitrock and the
majority and controlling shareholder of Linsang Partners LLC. Linsang Partners
LLC and Mr. Li are the majority shareholders of Splitrock.
Of the Company's sales of LDR products in 1997, $12.4 million consisted of
direct purchases by Splitrock, $7.6 million of which purchases were credited
against Splitrock's minimum purchase guarantee under the Splitrock Agreement.
Splitrock and Ericsson executed a letter of intent on February 2, 1998, pursuant
to which Ericsson would provide Splitrock with certain services as well as LDR
products that Ericsson had purchased or will purchase under its private-label
partner agreement with the Company.
13
<PAGE> 15
Subsequently, during the first quarter of 1998, Linsang Partners LLC agreed to
purchase from Ericsson for use in Splitrock's network the $5 million of LDR
products sold to Ericsson in the fourth quarter of 1997. This expected $5
million purchase is separate from the $12.4 million of product sales to
Splitrock during 1997 and upon such purchase by Linsang Partners LLC will be
credited against Splitrock's minimum purchase guarantee under the Splitrock
Agreement. Linsang Partners LLC also submitted a purchase order to Ericsson for
up to an additional $2 million of LDR products, which purchases, as made, will
also be credited against Splitrock's minimum purchase guarantee under the
Splitrock Agreement.
R. James Woolsey, a director of the Company, is a partner in the law firm
of Shea & Gardner, which is one of several law firms that performs legal work
for the Company.
