Explanatory Note

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment”) amends Harmonic Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012, originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on March 1, 2013 (the “Original Filing”). We are amending and refiling Part III to include information required by Items 10, 11, 12, 13 and 14 because our definitive proxy statement will not be filed within 120 days after December 31, 2012, the end of the fiscal year covered by our Annual Report on Form 10-K. Accordingly, reference to our proxy statement on the cover page has been deleted.

In addition, pursuant to the rules of the SEC, we have also included as exhibits currently dated certifications required under Section 302 of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Because no financial statements are contained within this Amendment, we are not including certifications pursuant to Section 906 of The Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. We are amending and refiling Part IV to reflect the inclusion of those certifications.

Except as described above, no other changes have been made to the Original Filing. Except as otherwise indicated herein, this Amendment continues to speak as of the date of the Original Filing, and we have not updated the disclosures contained therein to reflect any events that occurred subsequent to the date of the Original Filing. The filing of this Annual Report on Form 10-K/A is not a representation that any statements contained in items of our Annual Report on Form 10-K other than Part III, Items 10 through 14, and Part IV are true or complete as of any date subsequent to the Original Filing.

SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) requires the Company’s executive officers and directors and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file an initial report of ownership on Form 3 and changes in ownership on Form 4 or Form 5 with the SEC and the NASDAQ Stock Market. Executive officers, directors and greater than 10% stockholders are also required by SEC rules to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file. Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms prepared and filed by it or received by it or on written representations from the reporting persons, the Company believes that, with respect to 2012, all filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and 10% stockholders were complied with, except as follows: the Form 3 for Susan G. Swenson was filed March 13, 2012, one day after the filing date required under SEC rules.

DIRECTOR NOMINATIONS

There have been no material changes to the procedures by which security holders may recommend nominees to our board of directors since those procedures were described in our proxy statement for our 2012 annual meeting of stockholders.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

The Board has a separately-designated Audit Committee. The charter for the Audit Committee is posted on our website at www.harmonicinc.com.

The Audit Committee currently consists of Messrs. Covert and Reddersen and Ms. Swenson, each of whom is independent under Rule 10A-3 of the Exchange Act and under applicable NASDAQ Stock Market listing standards. The Audit Committee serves as the representative of the Board for general oversight of the quality and integrity of Harmonic’s financial accounting and reporting process, system of internal control over financial reporting, management of financial risks, audit process, and process for monitoring the compliance with related laws and regulations. The Audit Committee engages the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm and approves the scope of both audit and non-audit services. Matters within the scope of the Audit Committee were also discussed in executive sessions at regularly scheduled meetings of the Board in 2012. The Audit Committee held eight meetings during 2012.

The Board has determined that Mr. Covert is an “audit committee financial expert,” as defined by the current rules of the SEC. The Board believes that Mr. Covert’s experience as the chief financial officer of several companies publicly traded on U.S. stock exchanges qualifies him as an “audit committee financial expert” because he has acquired relevant expertise and experience from performing his duties as a chief financial officer.

CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS

Harmonic has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for Senior Operational and Financial Leadership (the “Code”), which applies to its Chief Executive Officer, its Chief Financial Officer, its Corporate Controller and other senior operational and financial management. The Code is available on the Company’s website at www.harmonicinc.com.

Harmonic intends to satisfy the disclosure requirement under Form 8-K regarding an amendment to, or waiver from, a provision of the Code by posting such information on our website, at the address specified above, and, to the extent required by the listing standards of the NASDAQ Global Select Market, by filing a Current Report on Form 8-K with the Securities and Exchange Commission disclosing such information.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Role of the Compensation and Equity Ownership Committee

The Compensation and Equity Ownership Committee (“Compensation Committee”) of Harmonic’s Board of Directors is responsible for approval of the Company’s executive compensation policies, compensation paid to executive officers, and administration of the Company’s equity ownership plans. The Compensation Committee currently consists of Messrs. Kvamme, Gallagher and Reddersen and Ms. Reaugh, none of whom is an employee of the Company, and each of whom is independent under applicable NASDAQ listing standards and for the purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code and Section 16 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “’34 Act”). The charter of the Compensation Committee was adopted by the Board of Directors, and is posted on Harmonic’s website at www.harmonicinc.com.

The Compensation Committee has retained the services of Meyercord Associates (“Meyercord”), an independent compensation consulting firm, to assist the Compensation Committee in the evaluation of appropriate cash and equity compensation for executive management. Meyercord provides no other services to the Company, other than essentially the same services with respect to Board compensation. Meyercord makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee on the design and implementation of compensation plans, assists in determining the appropriate number of shares to be used for equity awards granted under the Company’s equity plans, reviews data and recommendations provided by management, and also reviews specific compensation proposals for each of the Company’s executive officers named in the Summary Compensation Table in the Company’s Form 10-K/A for the applicable year (“NEO”). Meyercord attends all or part of certain Compensation Committee meetings, as requested by the Compensation Committee.

Role of Management

Harmonic’s CEO, assisted by our Senior Vice President of Human Resources, works with the Compensation Committee to establish meeting agendas. The CEO makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee with respect to the compensation of other members of executive management and the design and implementation of incentive compensation programs for NEOs. For 2012 executive compensation, these recommendations were developed with the assistance of Meyercord. The Compensation Committee considers the recommendations of management, but is not bound by such recommendations. The CEO does not make recommendations to the Compensation Committee with respect to his own compensation and is not present at any portion of Compensation Committee meetings when his compensation is discussed or when the Compensation Committee elects to meet in executive session. In 2013, the Compensation Committee considered and assessed all relevant factors, including those set forth in Rule 10C-1(b)(4)(i) through (vi) under the ’34 Act, that could give rise to a potential conflict of interest with respect to Meyercord’s work. Based on this review, we are not aware of any conflict of interest that has been raised by work performed by Meyercord.

Compensation Philosophy and Programs

The Company’s executive compensation programs are designed to attract, motivate and retain executives who will contribute significantly to the long-term success of the Company and the enhancement of stockholder value. Consistent with this philosophy, the following goals provide a framework for our executive compensation program:

•

provide a competitive total compensation package to attract, retain and motivate executives who must operate in a demanding and rapidly changing business environment;

•

relate total compensation for each executive, consisting of base salary, annual cash bonus and equity awards, to overall company performance and, in the case of base salary and equity awards, to individual performance;

•

tie annual cash bonus compensation to the Company’s achievement of objective performance parameters;

•

reflect competitive market requirements and strategic business needs in determining the appropriate mix of cash and non-cash compensation and short-term (base salary and annual cash bonus) and long-term compensation (equity awards);

•

put at risk a significant portion of each executive’s total target compensation, with the intent to reward superior performance by the Company; and

•

align the interests of our executives with those of our stockholders.

At our 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, we held a stockholder advisory vote on the compensation of our NEOs, commonly referred to as a “say-on-pay vote.” Our stockholders approved the compensation of our NEOs, with over 95% of stockholder votes cast voting in favor of the say-on-pay proposal. As we evaluated our compensation practices and talent needs throughout 2012, we were mindful of the support our stockholders expressed for our philosophy of linking compensation to our financial goals and in support of enhancing stockholder value. As a result, the

Compensation Committee decided to retain our general approach with respect to our executive compensation programs, with an emphasis on delivering long-term and short-term incentive compensation that rewards our executives commensurate with the value they deliver to our stockholders.

Management of Risk Arising from Incentive Compensation Policies

The Compensation Committee has considered whether the Company’s overall compensation program for employees creates incentives for employees to take excessive or unreasonable risks that could materially harm the Company. The Committee believes that our incentive plans are typical for our industry and market competitive, and that risks arising from our compensation policies and practices for our employees are not reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. Several features of our compensation policies for management employees appropriately mitigate such risks, including a mix of long-term and short-term compensation incentives that we believe are properly weighted, the uniformity of compensation policies across the Company, caps on payments from the plans and the use of our business plan, which the Compensation Committee regards as setting an appropriate level of risk for the Company, as a baseline for our incentive bonus plan targets. We also believe the Company’s internal legal and financial controls appropriately mitigate the probability and potential impact of an individual employee committing the Company to inappropriate transactions in exchange for short-term compensation benefits.

Elements of Compensation

In order to achieve the above goals, our total compensation packages include base salary and annual bonus paid in cash, as well as long-term equity compensation in the form of stock options or restricted stock units, or a combination of each. We also make available benefit plans to our executive officers which are generally provided to all regular full-time employees of Harmonic. We believe that appropriately balancing the total compensation package and ensuring the incentive effect of a significant portion of the package is necessary in order to provide market-competitive compensation. We focus on ensuring that the balance of the various components of our compensation program is optimized to motivate executives to improve our results on a cost-effective basis. The factors which are used to determine individual compensation packages are generally similar for each NEO, including our CEO.

In order to assess our compensation competitiveness against peer companies in 2012, management recommended a peer group, which included approximately 20 companies. These peer companies were selected from the telecommunications and video services technology industries based principally on revenue and market capitalization data that placed Harmonic approximately in the middle of the range.

The Compensation Committee then asked Meyercord to review management’s recommendations as to an appropriate peer group for Harmonic. Meyercord selected the final peer group companies based principally on revenue and market capitalization data, and the peer group included many technology companies in the Company’s immediate geographic area with whom the Company competes for executive talent. These peer group recommendations from management and Meyercord were reviewed and discussed by the Compensation Committee, and a final list, as shown below, was approved by the Compensation Committee. Data prepared by Meyercord for the approved peer group were used by management in formulating recommendations to the Compensation Committee for 2012 cash and equity compensation. Information from Meyercord was also used in formulating the CEO’s recommendations to the Compensation Committee with respect to the design and implementation of compensation packages and for specific proposals related to the individual elements and total compensation packages for other NEOs, as well as for other employees.

The approved peer group for 2012 consisted of the following companies:


Ariba		Finisar
Arris Group		Infinera
Aruba Networks		Netgear
BigBand Networks		Plantronics
Blue Coat Systems		Quantum
Cadence		SeaChange International
Coherent		Sonus Networks
Electronics for Imaging		Synaptics
Extreme Networks		TIVO

Base Salary

Base salaries for NEOs, including that of the CEO, are set according to the responsibilities of the position, the specific skills and experience of the individual and the competitive market for executive talent. The Compensation Committee reviews salaries annually and adjusts them as appropriate to reflect changes in market conditions, individual performance and responsibilities, and the Company’s financial position. The aggregate value of our total cash compensation (base salary and targeted bonus) for NEOs is generally set at approximately the 50^th percentile of executive compensation of the approved peer group, with the intent that superior performance under incentive bonus plans would enable the executive to elevate total cash compensation to levels that are above the average of comparable companies.

Following a review with Meyercord of the above factors and the data regarding our peer group, the Compensation Committee decided that action to increase base salaries was appropriate in 2012, particularly given that no NEO, other than Mark Carrington in 2011, received any adjustments in base salaries in 2009, 2010 and 2011. Increases to base salaries were not made in 2009 through 2011, other than with respect to Mr. Carrington in 2011, in part because the Committee believed that significant adjustments were not necessary at the time and in part because of management’s desire to control expenses in response to the global economic recession in 2009 and 2010 and its impact on the Company’s business. Mr. Carrington’s base annual salary was increased from $225,000 in 2010 to $260,000 in 2011, bringing him in line with the other Senior Vice President NEOs.

Base salaries for each of the NEOs, other than Patrick J. Harshman, President and Chief Executive Officer, were increased in 2012, effective February 28, 2012. The base annual salary increase for each such NEO was as follows: (1) Carolyn A. Aver, Chief Financial Officer - $325,000 to $338,000; (2) Charles Bonasera, Senior Vice President, Operations and Quality - $250,000 to $260,000; (3) Mark Carrington, Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales - $260,000 to $270,400; and (4) Neven Haltmayer, Senior Vice President, Research and Development - $250,000 to $275,000. These increases were made in 2012, in part, due to the Company’s performance in 2011 and, in part, because, as a result of no increases for the prior two years for all but one of such NEOs, Mr. Carrington, the Company’s base salaries for NEOs were not competitive. Base salaries for NEOs are disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table on page 17 of this Form 10-K/A.

Base salaries for each of the NEOs were increased for 2013, effective February 4, 2013, primarily because the Compensation Committee determined that the base salaries for the NEOs were not competitive. Further, Patrick J. Harshman, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, had not received an increase in base salary since 2008. The base annual salary increase for each of the NEOs was as follows: (1) Patrick J. Harshman - $450,000 to $500,000; (2) Carolyn A. Aver, Chief Financial Officer - $338,000 to $365,000; (3) Charles Bonasera, Senior Vice President, Operations and Quality - $260,000 to $275,000; and (4) Neven Haltmayer, Senior Vice President, Research and Development - $275,000 to $300,000. After these adjustments, based on the most recent, but lagging (for 2012), base salary information available for the 2013 approved peer group (as shown above, less Ariba, BigBand, Blue Coat and Quantum), Mr. Harshman’s base salary is slightly above the 25^th percentile for the peer group, Ms. Aver’s base salary is slightly above the 60^th percentile for the peer group, Mr. Bonasera’s base salary is slightly below the 50^th percentile for the peer group, and Mr. Haltmayer’s base salary is at the 50^th percentile for the peer group.

Incentive Bonus Plan

The Company’s annual incentive bonus plan in which NEOs participate reflects the Compensation Committee’s belief that a meaningful component of executive compensation should be contingent on the Company achieving performance targets, thereby introducing a significant element of “pay for performance” and appropriate incentives to produce superior results.

For 2010, a target bonus was established for each NEO by reference to the data from the peer group selected for that year, resulting in three components weighted as follows (other than for the then Vice President, Worldwide Sales): revenue (40%); non-GAAP operating income (40%); and strategic revenue (20%). For the Vice President, Worldwide Sales, the components were revenue (80%), strategic revenue (10%) and operating income (10%). The strategic revenue component was added in 2010 to induce management to focus efforts on the Company achieving specified revenue goals in certain strategic categories.

For 2011, the Compensation Committee modified the incentive plan for NEO’s (based, in part, on relevant peer group data), with 60% of the target bonus tied to a revenue target and 40% tied to non-GAAP operating income for each NEO, other than the then Vice President, Worldwide Sales, whose percentages were 80% for revenue and 20% for non-GAAP operating income. The Compensation Committee dropped the strategic revenue component it used in 2010, and applied the percentage of the target bonus previously allocated to strategic revenue to the revenue component (or, in the case of the Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales, to non-GAAP operating income), because, with a focus on fully integrating Omneon (acquired in September 2010) into our business, it was determined that an overarching concentration on Company revenue and operating income was sufficient and appropriate.

For 2012, the Compensation Committee again modified the incentive plan for NEOs (based, in part, on relevant peer group data), with 40% of the target bonus tied to a revenue target, 40% tied to a non-GAAP operating income target, and 20% tied to a strategic product revenue target ( in this case, service and support, media storage and new media) for each NEO, other than the Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales, whose percentages were 80% for revenue (on a commission basis from the first dollar of revenue) and 20% for strategic product revenue. The Compensation Committee chose to include a strategic product revenue component in the plan, in part, because the Omneon acquisition had been fully integrated and, in part, because it desired to have the NEOs focus the Company’s attention on revenue growth in the three designated product areas.

In addition, the 2010, 2011 and 2012 incentive bonus plans had minimum thresholds for each component that had to be met in order for any payout to be made, and a cap of 200% of target bonus for any participant, including NEOs.

For 2012, the Compensation Committee approved the following targets for the incentive plan:


	Revenue		Non-GAAP Operating Income (as defined)		Strategic Product Revenue (as defined)
			$ Millions
Threshold	$	550	$	55		$	105
Target	$	618	$	87		$	138
Maximum	$	660	$	110		$	165

For performance between these levels, bonus payouts, other than for the Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales, would be determined by straight line interpolation. No payments would be made under the revenue component of the 2012 incentive plan, other than to the Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales, if the threshold target for non-GAAP operating income was not achieved.

The Compensation Committee believed that the 2012 bonus targets were challenging, but achievable, based on their review of the Company’s operating plan for 2012, their experience with respect to the Company’s historical performance in a business heavily dependent on the capital spending plans of a limited number of large customers, and their assessment of the difficult economic environment that had begun in the second half of 2011. In 2012, the Company did not exceed the threshold for either revenue or non-GAAP operating income, but did exceed the threshold for strategic product revenue.

As a result, the incentive pool, without reference to the revenue component portion paid to the Senior Vice President, Worldwide Sales, was funded at 12.66% of the aggregate targeted amount. Bonus payments from the 2012 incentive plan were approved by the Compensation Committee in January 2013, and made to executive officer participants in February 2013, as disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table on page 17 of this Form 10-K/A. All bonus amounts paid to NEOs with respect to 2012 were paid pursuant to the 2012 incentive bonus plan.

Equity Compensation Plans

The Compensation Committee believes that equity compensation plans are an essential tool to link the long-term interests of stockholders and employees, especially the Chief Executive Officer and executive management, and serve to motivate employees, and particularly executive management, to make decisions that will, in the long run, deliver the best returns to stockholders, thus rewarding excellent long-term performance. Since 2010, stock options and restricted stock units (“RSUs”) have been granted to executive management, including NEOs, when they join the Company, and on an annual basis thereafter.

From 2010 through mid-2012, stock options and RSU awards generally vested over a four year period. Beginning in mid-2012, new awards generally vested over a three year period. Stock options are granted at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. The size of an initial equity award grant is based upon the position, responsibilities and expected contribution of the individual, with subsequent grants also taking into account the individual’s performance, potential contributions, and, to a lesser extent, the vesting status of previously awards. This approach is designed to align optionees’, including NEOs’, interests with stockholders’ interests over the long term, as no benefit is realized from the grant unless the price of the Company’s common stock has increased over the number of years that the award vests.

The Compensation Committee awarded stock options to most employees, including NEOs, on an annual basis until 2009, when the use of stock options was replaced by restricted stock units for most non-executive employees. In prior years, the total pool of annual grants to be made to all employees, including NEOs, was determined principally by reference to guidelines published by shareholder advisory firms such as Institutional Shareholder Services and, in part, to historic practice. The guidelines generally refer to metrics such as total annual awards as a percentage of shares outstanding and total outstanding awards as a percentage of fully diluted shares. Historically, the Compensation Committee has set the total pool of equity awards to result in the Company’s use of options being substantially lower than the guideline amounts.

Executive officers are also eligible to participate in the Company’s 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (ESPP). The ESPP is available on a broad basis to the Company’s employees. The ESPP allows eligible employees to purchase the Company’s common stock at a price equal to 85% of the lower of the fair market value at the beginning of a six month offering period or the fair market value at the end of the offering period, with the purchase amount limited to the lesser of 10% of eligible compensation or 3,000 shares per offering period, or as otherwise limited by applicable IRS regulations.

Financial Accounting Standards Codification Topic 718 of the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASC Topic 718”) requires the Company to record a charge to earnings for equity compensation. However, the Compensation Committee believes that the Company should continue to operate its equity compensation plans in spite of the significant

non-cash charges incurred by the Company as a result of the application of FASC Topic 718. The Compensation Committee continues to monitor the impact of the accounting standard on Harmonic’s earnings, changes in the design and operation of equity compensation plans by other companies, particularly those with whom the Company competes locally for employees, and the attitude of financial analysts and investors towards these significant and potentially volatile non-cash charges. In 2010, 2011 and 2012, most employees who received equity awards, other than NEOs, received them in the form of restricted stock units. Beginning in mid-2012, new equity awards vested over three years, rather than four, and the amount of the awards are proportionally decreased from the amount that would have been granted with four year vesting. These practices generally results in lower and more predictable accounting charges.

The Compensation Committee continues to believe that broad-based equity plans reward long-term performance and remain an essential element of a competitive compensation package, as such plans are offered currently by most public and private technology companies in Silicon Valley with whom the Company competes for both executive and non-executive employees. Approximately 90% of eligible employees currently hold stock options and/or restricted stock units, and approximately 66% of eligible employees are currently participating in the Company’s ESPP.

Equity Compensation Grant Practice

The Compensation Committee approves all stock option or restricted stock unit grants, except for certain grants made to non-executive employees in the ordinary course of business, for which it has delegated authority to the CEO, within pre-approved parameters, pursuant to an Employee Equity Issuance Policy. The Compensation Committee reviews all grants made pursuant to the Employee Equity Issuance Policy. Initial hire grants of stock options that are within the CEO’s approved range are made on the first Friday following the employee’s start date, initial hire grants of restricted stock units are made on the second Friday of each month, and any other grants made by the CEO pursuant to authority granted by the Compensation Committee are made on Fridays of the week of such grant. Stock options are granted at 100% of the closing price of our stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market on the date of grant.

Initial hire grants that are for executives reporting to the CEO or grants which are above the CEO’s approved range are approved by the Compensation Committee, with the grant date being the day of approval by the Compensation Committee and, if in the form of a stock option, the exercise price being the closing price of the stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market on that date. The initial grants are effective as of the date of grant, with vesting generally beginning on the date of commencement of employment. Annual grants are usually made in the first half of the year, and, in 2012, these grants were made in February. This timing enables management and the Compensation Committee to consider performance by both the Company and the individual and balance it against our expectations for the current year.

We do not time the granting of stock options or restricted stock units with any favorable or unfavorable news released by the Company. The timing of initial grants is driven by the date of hire of our new employees. The Board of Directors and Compensation Committee meeting schedules, for review and approval of annual grants, are usually established several months in advance for the calendar year. Proximity of any awards to an earnings announcement or other market events is coincidental.

Retirement Benefits

The Company does not provide pension benefits or deferred compensation plans to any of its employees, including NEOs, other than a 401(k) deferred compensation plan which is open to all regular, full-time U.S. employees. The Company suspended matching contributions to the 401(k) plan in 2010, 2011 and 2012, but reinstated its matching contribution policy, of up to $1000 a year for each participant, for 2013. The Compensation Committee reviews regularly the performance of, and changes to, the 401(k) plan.

Change-of-Control Agreements

The Company does not have employment agreements with any of its present NEOs. However, as a historical practice, it has generally provided change of control severance agreements to its NEOs. These agreements are designed to incentivize continuing service to the Company by NEOs in the event that the Company may be in discussions regarding strategic transactions and to provide short-term benefits in the event that a NEO’s position is eliminated or responsibilities or compensation are reduced following a change of control.

The Company has entered into a change of control severance agreement with each of its NEOs. Under the terms of the respective NEO’s change of control severance agreement, in the event of termination of the NEO other than for cause (as defined in the relevant change of control severance agreement) within 18 months following a change in control of the Company, the NEO will be entitled to certain payments. Mr. Harshman, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, will receive a lump-sum payment of twice his annual salary, an amount equal to twice the greater of 50% of his then annual target bonus and the average of the actual bonus paid to him in each of the two prior years, and a continuation of his health, dental, and life insurance benefits for up to one year after the change of control. The other NEOs will receive a lump-sum payment of one year’s salary, an amount equal to the greater of 50% of the NEO’s then annual target bonus and the average of the actual bonus paid to the NEO in each of the two prior years, and a continuation of the NEO’s health, dental and life insurance benefits for up to one year after the change of control. These agreements also provide for out-placement assistance and the full acceleration of unvested stock options and any restricted stock awards held by the respective NEO in the event of such termination, subject to certain limitations.

Other Compensation

Other elements of executive compensation include life and long-term disability insurance and health benefits. These benefits are available to all regular, full-time U.S. employees of the Company on the same basis, and similar benefits are provided to most employees in other countries. Until cancelled in mid-2011, all NEOs had access to a supplemental medical plan which provided coverage of additional out-of-pocket medical costs, subject to an annual limit . Management periodically reviews the level of benefits provided to all employees and adjusts those levels as appropriate. Company payments for NEOs pursuant to these other elements of compensation in 2010, 2011 and 2012 are included in the “All Other Compensation” column in the Summary Compensation Table on page 17 of this Form 10-K/A.

Approvals

In January 2012, the Compensation Committee approved the 2011 cash incentive compensation for all NEOs. The Company’s CEO was not present during the portion of the meetings during which his compensation was discussed and approved. Equity compensation awards for NEOs, and salary increases for NEOs other than Mr. Harshman, were approved by the Compensation Committee in February 2012.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

The Company currently has no stock ownership guidelines for its NEOs.

Financial Restatements

The Company has never restated its financial statements and does not have an established practice regarding the adjustment of bonus payments if the performance measures on which they were based are restated in a manner that would change the amount of an award.

Section 162(m)

We have considered the potential future effects of Section 162(m) of the Code on the compensation paid to our NEOs. Section 162(m) disallows a tax deduction for any publicly held corporation for individual compensation exceeding $1.0 million in any taxable year for the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer or the three other most highly compensated executive officers, unless such compensation is “performance-based” under Section 162(m). For 2012, no executive officer received compensation subject to Section 162(m) in excess of $1.0 million. We have adopted a policy that, where reasonably practicable, we will seek to qualify the variable compensation paid to our executive officers for an exemption from the deductibility limitations of Section 162(m).

Report of the Compensation and Equity Ownership Committee of the Board of Directors on Executive Compensation

The Compensation and Equity Ownership Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis contained in this Form 10-K/A. Based on the Compensation Committee’s review of, and the discussions with management with respect to, the Compensation Discussion and Analysis, our Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Form 10-K/A.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

As compensation for its non-employee directors, Harmonic uses a combination of cash and equity-based incentive compensation. Directors who are employees of the Company do not receive additional compensation for their service as directors.

Cash Compensation. Each non-employee director is paid an annual retainer of $35,000. In addition, the Chair of the Audit Committee is paid an annual retainer of $32,000, the Chair of the Compensation and Equity Ownership Committee is paid an annual retainer of $18,000, and the Chair of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee is paid an annual retainer of $11,000. Other members of the Board committees receive an annual retainer as follows: Audit Committee — $16,000; Compensation and Equity Ownership Committee — $9,000; and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee — $5,500. The non-executive Chairman of the Board receives an additional annual retainer of $40,000. No additional fees are paid for attending in-person or telephonic meetings of the Board or its committees.

Equity Compensation. The 2002 Director Stock Plan, as amended, currently provides for grants of stock options or restricted stock units to be made in three ways:

•

Initial Grants. Each new non-employee director who joins the Board (excluding a former employee director who ceases to be an employee director, but who remains a director) is entitled to receive stock options or restricted stock units, or a mix thereof, on the date that the individual is first appointed or elected to the Board, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion.

•

Ongoing Grants. Each non-employee director who has served on the Board for at least six months, as of the date of grant, will receive an annual grant of stock options or restricted stock units, or a mix thereof, as determined by the Board in its sole discretion.

•

Discretionary Grants. The Board may make discretionary grants of stock options or restricted stock units, or a mix thereof, to any non-employee director.

The estimated future payouts under non-equity incentive plans refers to potential payouts under our 2012 incentive bonus plan. The goals for the 2012 incentive bonus plan were approved by the Compensation Committee in February 2012. The actual payout amounts for each executive officer in 2013 were reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors in February 2013 upon availability of financial results for 2012, and are included in the Summary Compensation Table on page 17 of this Form 10-K/A.

(2)	Restricted stock units granted to NEOs during 2012 vest 25% upon completion of 12 months service and 1/8 per six-month period thereafter.

(3)	Options granted to NEOs during 2012 expire 7 years from the date of grant and vest 25% upon completion of 12 months service and 1/48 per month thereafter.

(4)	The exercise price for option grants is the fair market value of the Company’s stock on the date of grant.

(5)

This amount represents the fair value of the award on the grant date, and is determined according to applicable accounting standards. Pursuant to SEC rules, the amounts shown exclude the impact of estimated forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. The option exercise price has not been deducted from these amounts. The actual value of the option will depend upon the market value of Harmonic’s common stock at the time the option is exercised. The grant date fair market value of the option awards is calculated using the Black-Scholes valuation model and is based on the following assumptions:


Assumptions	2012 Rate			2011 Rate
Average risk free interest rate		0.9	%		.08	%
Average expected term (year)		4.70	%		4.75	%
Average expected volatility		56	%		55	%

(6)	With respect to one performance category under Mr. Carrington’s bonus plan, the maximum award would be $108,160. With respect to the second performance category under his bonus plan, the potential payout is uncapped.

OPTIONS EXERCISED DURING 2012

During the year ended December 31, 2012, there were no exercises of options by the NEOs.

PENSION BENEFITS AND NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION

There are no pension or retirement benefit plans for any of the NEOs, other than a 401(k) deferred compensation plan which is available to all regular, full-time U.S. employees of the Company. The Company made matching contributions to the 401(k) plan of up to $1,000 per annum per participant in 2008. Matching contributions were suspended at the beginning of 2009, and reinstated for 2013.

CHANGE-OF-CONTROL AGREEMENTS

The Company does not have employment agreements with any of its NEOs. The Company has entered into change of control severance agreements with each of the NEO’s. Based on a hypothetical termination date of December 31, 2012, the respective amounts paid to the NEOs in the event of a change of control would have been:


Name	Salary ($)		Bonus ($)		Value of Unvested Restricted Stock(1)(2)		Value of Unvested Stock Options(1)(2)		Other(3)		Total(4)
Patrick J. Harshman	$	900,000	$	322,965	$	1,077,375	$	34,335	$	29,158	$	2,363,833
Carolyn V. Aver		338,000		104,000		614,738		0		21,978		1,078,716
Charles Bonasera		260,000		107,655		399,896		0		21,978		789,529
Mark Carrington(5)		270,400		184,139		692,055		0		12,927		1,159,521
Neven Haltmayer		275,000		108,615		437,597		0		29,158		850,370

(1)

The amounts in this column represent the value which would have been realized by the acceleration of unvested restricted stock units and unvested stock options, calculated by, in the case of options, multiplying the number of shares subject to acceleration by the difference between $5.07, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on December 31, 2012 and the exercise price of the respective option. The value of RSUs is the number of shares multiplied by the closing price of the Company’s common stock on December 31, 2012.

(2)	The Company’s change of control severance agreements have a provision that all unvested restricted stock and options will be fully accelerated upon a change of control.

(3)	The amounts in the column “Other” represent the maximum cost of continuing health, dental and life insurance benefits and outplacement fees.

(4)

The Company’s change of control severance agreements have a provision that payments will either be made in full, with the executive paying any applicable IRC Section 280G excise taxes, or the payments will be reduced to a level that does not trigger the Section 280G excise tax, whichever results in a greater amount. The amounts shown in the table assume that the executive would elect to receive full payment and pay any applicable excise taxes.

(5)	Mr. Carrington resigned as an officer of the Company as of January 7, 2013.

(1)

The number of shares of common stock outstanding used in calculating the percentage for each listed person or entity is based on 113,769,178 shares of common stock outstanding on April 10, 2013. Shares of common stock subject to stock options which are currently exercisable or will become exercisable, and restricted stock units which are currently vested or will become vested, in each case within 60 days of April 10, 2013, are deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage of the person or group holding such options or restricted stock units, but are not deemed outstanding for purposes of computing the percentage of any other person or group.

(2)	Based solely on a review of a Schedule 13G/A filed with the SEC, on February 1, 2013, by BlackRock Inc., on behalf of itself and its wholly owned subsidiaries. BlackRock Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries reported sole voting and dispositive power with respect to all such shares.
