Explanatory Note.

On September 13, 2011, NetScout Systems, Inc., or the Company, filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to report the voting results of its Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on September 7, 2011. This Current Report on Form 8-K/A is being filed solely to disclose the determination of the Board of Directors of the Company regarding how frequently the Company will include in its proxy materials an advisory vote on the compensation of its named executive officers. This Amendment does not otherwise revise the September 13, 2011 Current Report on Form 8-K in any way.

Item 5.07. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders.

At the Company’s Annual Meeting of Stockholders held on September 7, 2011, a majority of the votes cast by stockholders voted, on an advisory basis, to hold an advisory vote on the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers every year. The Company’s Board of Directors considered the views of its stockholders and determined that the Company will hold future non-binding advisory votes on executive compensation on an annual basis until the next vote on the frequency of such an advisory vote.
