| Aviat Networks, Inc. (the “Company”) has determined that it is unable to file, without unreasonable effort or expense, its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2024 (the “Form 10-K”) by the prescribed filing due date because the Company requires additional time to finalize its assessment of internal control over financial reporting and to complete certain closing processes and procedures. The Company is working diligently and expects to file the Form 10-K on or before the expiration of the fifteen calendar day extension period. Management has identified certain material weaknesses in its preliminary assessment of internal control over financial reporting for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2024. The Company has initiated and will continue to implement measures designed to improve its internal control over financial reporting to remediate these material weaknesses with oversight from the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and assistance from its external advisors. In connection with the preparation of the Company’s annual financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 28, 2024, the Company identified certain errors impacting previously reported financial information for the fiscal years 2024 and 2023. While the Company currently believes the effects are not material to the previously issued consolidated financial statements for any of its prior reporting periods, it continues to evaluate to determine whether revision or restatement of prior periods is required. | ||||||||||||||
