tantalum, tungsten and gold, we rely upon our suppliers to provide information on the origin of the 3TG contained in components and materials supplied to us, including sources of 3TG that are supplied to them from lower tier suppliers. Aviat
Networks supports an industry-wide approach to addressing social responsibility throughout the supply chain. Aviat Networks is engaged with our industry peers, suppliers, and other stakeholders to promote the responsible sourcing of minerals through
the Responsible Minerals Initiative (RMI). We rely on our direct and secondary suppliers to work with their relevant suppliers so that they may provide us with accurate information on the origin of 3TG in the components we purchase, where
applicable, by using the RMI developed Conflict Minerals Reporting Template (the &#147;CMRT&#148;) to standardize the collection and transfer of information through our supply chain regarding mineral country of origin and the identity of smelters
and refiners being utilized. </P> <P STYLE="font-size:12pt;margin-top:0pt;margin-bottom:0pt">&nbsp;</P>

Tungsten and the Supplement on Gold (Third Edition) (the &#147;OECD Guidance&#148;). Selected elements of the OECD Guidance&#146;s five-step framework for due diligence are discussed blow.
However, these are not all elements of the program that we have put in place to determine whether the 3TG that may be contained in our products are responsibly sourced. Our due diligence process includes: the maintenance of our Conflict Minerals
Policy, maintenance of governance structures with cross-functional team members, including members of our operations and legal departments, engagement of suppliers and implementation of record keeping systems. We educate senior management and other
selected internal personnel on the Conflict Minerals Rule, the OECD Guidance, our compliance plan and the procedures for reviewing and validating supplier responses to our inquiries. We use the CMRT to identify smelters in our supply chain. The CMRT
requires suppliers to provide information concerning the usage and source of 3TG in their products, as well as information concerning their related compliance efforts. Some of our forms of purchasing contracts have contractual terms relating to
compliance with the Conflict Mineral Policy and other related matters. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We surveyed our supply base for products that we manufactured in calendar year
2022, including direct purchases of manufactured products, but exclusive of component purchases made for support or repair operations. Our suppliers were surveyed using the CMRT as well as information concerning their related compliance efforts. As
noted above, we received a response from approximately 82% of those surveyed which includes the majority of our suppliers and 93% of our costs on products. We reviewed the completed CMRT received from the suppliers. We follow up with suppliers when
determined appropriate to do so by us, to get a more complete response or revise errors or inaccuracies. Smelter information provided by suppliers is reviewed against the Smelter <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">Look-up</FONT> tab list of the CMRT.
To the extent that a smelter identified by a supplier is not on that list, we take additional steps to attempt to determine whether the listed entity is a smelter. Smelter information is also reviewed against the lists of &#147;conformant&#148; and
&#147;active&#148; smelters and refiners published by RMI. To the extent that a smelter identified by a supplier is not listed as conformant by an independent third-party, we consult publicly available information to attempt to determine mine or
location of origin of its 3TG. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In order to carry out an audit of our supply chain, we utilize and rely on information made available by RMI concerning
independent third-party audits of smelters of 3TG in our supply chain to assess smelter due diligence and to determine whether the smelter is conformant. To report on our supply chain due diligence, we file a Form SD and a Conflict Mineral Report
with the SEC and make these available on our website. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Due Diligence Results </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">For the suppliers which provided us with the names of smelters or refiners or related country of origin information, the majority of these smelters are
conformant to RMI&#146;s assessment protocol for conflict-free sourcing. We do not have information on the countries from which these smelters sourced. We have asked the suppliers representing the top 90% of our spend to remove smelters in their
supply chain that are not certified to be conflict free by a responsible third party such as the RMI. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Steps to be Taken to Mitigate Risks </B></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">As a continued effort to continue to mitigate risks, our main supplier has asked their suppliers to remove smelters in their supply chain that are not
certified to be conflict free by a responsible third party such as the RMI. Our Company&#146;s expectations are that our suppliers and their suppliers will have a credible, robust conflict mineral program which includes: a written conflict mineral
policy, communication of requirements to suppliers, conflict mineral data collection using the CMRT, a professional analysis and risk assessment with corrective action on the basis of CMRT&#146;s collected from suppliers and the transmission of a
complete and accurate CMRT to the Company </P>

with robust comments where appropriate. We will continue to engage with suppliers to encourage them to provide requested information for 2023. In the next compliance period, Aviat Networks
intends to implement additional steps to continue to improve the information gathered from its due diligence to further mitigate the risk that its products contain Conflict Minerals as defined in Item 1.01(c)(3) of Form SD. These steps include, but
are not limited to, increasing the response rate of supplier surveys and requirements of corrective action from suppliers if their CMRT forms are not adequate or where a risk of conflict sourcing occurs or high-risk suppliers are reported. In the
next compliance period, the Company also intends to implement a new Supplier Code of Conduct and to <FONT STYLE="white-space:nowrap">re-evaluate</FONT> its Conflict Minerals Policy for any updates. </P>
