Item 1.01.  Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.
            ------------------------------------------

     On February 23, 2006, the Compensation Committee (the "Compensation
Committee") of the Board of Directors of CommScope, Inc. (the "Company")
increased the annual base salaries for certain officers of the Company,
effective as of April 1, 2006. The named executive officers and their new
respective salaries are as follows:

          -------------------------------- ------------------------------
          Name and Principal Position                Salary
          -------------------------------- ------------------------------
          Frank M. Drendel
          Chairman and Chief Executive               $740,000
          Officer

          -------------------------------- ------------------------------
          Brian D. Garrett
          President and Chief Operating              $490,000
          Officer

          -------------------------------- ------------------------------
          Jearld L. Leonhardt

          Executive Vice President and               $360,000
          Chief Financial Officer

          -------------------------------- ------------------------------
          Randall W. Crenshaw
          Executive Vice President and               $330,000
          General Manager, Enterprise

          -------------------------------- ------------------------------
          Edward A. Hally
          Executive Vice President and               $300,000
          General Manager,
          Carrier/Wireless
          -------------------------------- ------------------------------

          On February 24, 2006, the Compensation Committee amended and
restated the CommScope, Inc. Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (the
"SERP"). The SERP is an unfunded nonqualified defined contribution benefit
plan maintained for the benefit of a select group of management and/or
highly compensated employees of the Company and its subsidiaries that
provides for retirement benefits payable out of amounts credited to a
participant's account and earnings thereon. The amendment and restatement
reflects recently released proposed regulations promulgated under Section
409A of Internal Revenue Code (the "Proposed Regulations"). The amended and
restated SERP, attached as Exhibit 10.1, provides that a participant will
generally receive the full value of his SERP account balance upon his
retirement although the participant may defer receipt of his SERP account
balance in accordance with the subsequent deferral rules under the Proposed
Regulations.

          On February 24, 2006, the Compensation Committee approved a
special one-time bonus of $100,000 to Edward A. Hally, Executive Vice
President and General Manager, Carrier/Wireless for his extraordinary
service during 2005. The award will be paid in March 2006.

Item 5.02.  Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of
            Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.
            ---------------------------------------------------------

     (b) On February 23, 2006, Duncan M. Faircloth, currently a Class III
director of the Company, informed the Board of Directors of his intention
to retire as a director of the Company and member of each of the Audit,
Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees of Board of
Directors, effective as of the expiration of his current three-year term as
director on the date of the Company's 2006 Annual Meeting of Stockholders
(the "Annual Meeting"). As a result, Mr. Faircloth will not stand for
re-election at the Annual Meeting.
