The November 6, 2014, letter was sent as a result of Aviat's delay in filing its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for its fiscal quarter ended September 26, 2014. The letter also relates to Aviat's delay in filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 27, 2014. The Form 10-Q cannot be filed until the Form 10-K is filed.

The NASDAQ notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of Aviat's common stock on the NASDAQ Global Select Market. Aviat is working to complete and file both the Form 10-K and the Form 10-Q as soon as possible. Under NASDAQ's listing rules, Aviat has until November 25, 2014, to submit a plan to regain compliance.
