Explanatory Note

This Form 8-K/A (this “Amendment”) is being filed by Plantronics, Inc. (the “Company”) to correct certain errors in the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 16, 2012 (the “Original 8-K”) with respect to the compensation arrangements of Pamela Strayer in connection with her appointment as the Company's Senior Vice President & Chief Financial Officer.

Except as set forth herein, this Amendment does not amend the Original 8-K in any way and does not modify or update any other disclosures contained in the Original 8-K. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original 8-K.

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

The Original 8-K incorrectly stated the date of vesting of restricted stock awards to Ms. Strayer. The restricted stock award shall vest in equal annual installments over a four-year period on the last day of the month following each anniversary of the date of grant, subject to Ms. Strayer's continued service to the Company through the relevant vesting dates.

Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits

In addition, this Amendment is being filed to re-file Ms. Strayer's offer letter. Due to a clerical error, the exhibit filed with the Original 8-K omitted a paragraph regarding her sign-on bonus. A full copy of the Offer Letter with Ms. Strayer is filed as Exhibit 10.1 hereto.

The following exhibits are furnished as part of this report.
