In addition, pursuant to Rule 416 under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities Act"), this registration statement shall also cover any additional shares of common stock which become issuable under the
above named plan by reason of any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or any other similar transaction effected without the receipt of consideration which results in an increase in the number of outstanding shares of our common stock.
(2)
Represents 184,577 additional shares of our common stock that became available for issuance on January 1, 2014 under the Zhone Technologies, Inc. Amended and Restated 2001 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the
"2001 Plan"), pursuant to the evergreen provision of the 2001 Plan, which provides that the number of shares available for issuance under the 2001 Plan will be increased automatically on January 1 of any year in which the number of
shares available for issuance under the 2001 Plan is less than five percent (5%) of the total number of outstanding shares on such date. In any such case, the increase is equal to an amount such that the aggregate number of shares available for
issuance under the 2001 Plan equals the least of (a) five percent (5%) of the total number of outstanding shares on such date, (b) 1,000,000 shares or (c) such other number of shares as determined by our board of directors.
(3)
The proposed maximum offering price per share has been estimated in accordance with Rules 457(c) and (h) under the Securities Act solely for the purpose of calculating the registration fee. The computation is based
upon the average of the high and low prices of the common stock as reported on the Nasdaq Stock Market on March 3, 2014, because the price at which the awards to be granted in the future may be exercised is not currently determinable.
Proposed sales to take place as soon after the effective date of the registration statement
as awards granted under the above-named plan are granted, exercised and/or distributed.
EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Registration Statement on Form S-8 registers the offer and sale of an additional 184,577 shares of common stock of Zhone Technologies,
Inc. for issuance under the 2001 Plan. In accordance with Instruction E to Form S-8, the contents of the prior Registration Statements, File Nos. 333-123369, 333-132336, 333-141153, 333-149598, 333-155321, 333-158009, 333-165510, 333-172876 and

Exchange Act of 1934, prior to the filing of a post-effective amendment to the registration statement which indicates that all of the shares of common stock offered have been sold or which deregisters all of such shares then remaining unsold, shall
be deemed to be incorporated by reference in this registration statement and to be a part hereof from the date of the filing of such documents; except as to any portion of any future annual or quarterly report to stockholders or document or current
report furnished under Item 2.02 or 7.01 of Form 8-K that is not deemed filed under such provisions. For the purposes of this registration statement, any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference
herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any other subsequently filed document which also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein modifies or supersedes such statement.
Any such statement so modified or superseded shall not be deemed, except as so modified or superseded, to constitute a part of this registration statement. Under no circumstances will any information furnished under Item 2.02 or 7.01 of Form
8-K be deemed incorporated herein by reference unless such Form 8-K expressly provides to the contrary.
