Item 7.01.    Regulation FD Disclosure.


The Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Aviat Networks, Inc. (the “Company”) continuously reviews the Company’s executive compensation program to ensure that it (i) aligns executives’ interests with those of the Company’s stockholders by rewarding performance that meets or exceeds established goals; and (ii) appropriately motivates the Company’s executives to increase stockholder value. The cornerstone of the Company’s executive compensation program has been, and continues to be, pay for performance.
The Board has recently conducted a review of executive compensation and at this time, the Board believes that the Company’s current executive compensation program meets the Board’s overall pay for performance objective.
In addition, a review of Board compensation was completed. The Board also believe that Board compensation is appropriate. The review of Board compensation included consideration of changes to the compensation of its Chairman made for the fiscal 2014 period.
