Item 8.01. Other Events.

Aviat Networks, Inc.'s (the "Company") Board of Directors (“Board”) has authorized an increase of $10 million to its previously approved stock repurchase program. Prior to the increase, the Company did not have any remaining shares to be repurchased under the previously approved stock repurchase program of $7.5 million, which was initially approved by the Board in May 2018.

Under the stock repurchase program, the Company intends to repurchase shares through authorized Rule 10b5-1 plans (which would permit the Company to repurchase shares when the Company might otherwise be precluded from doing so under insider trading laws), open market purchases, privately-negotiated transactions, block purchases or otherwise in accordance with applicable federal securities laws, including Rule 10b-18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.

The Company may choose to suspend or discontinue the stock repurchase program at any time. The stock repurchase program has no time limit and does not obligate the Company to purchase any particular number of shares. A copy of the Company's press release announcing the stock repurchase program is attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibit 99.1.
