Aviat Networks, Inc. entered into a Third Amendment to its secured Credit Agreement on August 28, 2025. The amendment increases the Incremental Term Loan Commitments by $20,000,000 in the aggregate and also increases the Revolving Credit Commitment by $20,000,000 in the aggregate.
The additional commitments are provided by new lenders that were not originally party to the Credit Agreement. Wells Fargo Bank, National Association continues to act as administrative agent, swingline lender and issuing lender, with Wells Fargo Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., and Regions Capital Markets serving as joint lead arrangers and joint bookrunners.
Aviat Networks disclosed the voluntary resignation of Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer Michael Connaway, effective after the company files its fiscal 2025 Form 10-K. The Board appointed Fredrickson as Interim Chief Financial Officer and the company will enter into an employment agreement providing a $10,000 monthly stipend in addition to his existing $250,000 annual base salary. He remains eligible for the Annual Incentive Plan with a 35% target bonus and the Long-Term Incentive Program. Fredrickson will receive a one-time $60,000 restricted stock unit award vesting after one year. The term runs until a permanent CFO is appointed; change-in-control and confidentiality provisions are included. A press release dated August 27, 2025 is attached as Exhibit 99.1.
Royce & Associates LP ("RALP") has filed Amendment No. 12 to its Schedule 13G for Aviat Networks, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVNW). The registered investment adviser now reports beneficial ownership of 627,839 common shares, representing 4.93 % of Aviat’s outstanding stock as of 30 June 2025. All shares are held with sole voting and dispositive power; no shared voting or dispositive rights exist.
The filing is noteworthy because the stake has fallen below the 5 % reporting threshold, requiring disclosure under Rule 13d-1. Item 5 confirms that RALP now owns "5 percent or less of the class." The amendment therefore functions as an "exit filing," signalling that the institutional holder has trimmed its position sufficiently to lose statutory insider status.
RALP makes the standard certification that the securities were acquired in the ordinary course of business and not to influence control of the issuer. An exhibit clarifies that the shares are held on behalf of investment-management clients and that neither Franklin Resources, Inc. (RALP’s parent) nor its principal shareholders are deemed beneficial owners due to internal information barriers.
- Shares owned: 627,839
- Percent of class: 4.93 %
- Voting/dispositive power: Sole
- Reporting entity type: Investment Adviser (IA)
- Date of event: 30 June 2025; filing signed 15 July 2025
For investors, the reduced stake could modestly lessen near-term institutional support or perceived strategic interest from RALP, although the firm remains a meaningful holder just under the 5 % level.
