Stock Repurchase Program
In November 2021, the Company’s Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program to purchase up to $10.0 million of the Company’s common stock. As of September 26, 2025, $6.3 million remains available and Aviat may choose to suspend or discontinue the repurchase program at any time. Repurchased shares are recorded as treasury stock. During the first quarter of fiscal 2026, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock.

Stock Incentive Programs
As of September 26, 2025, the Company had one stock incentive plan for its employees and non-employee directors, the 2018 Incentive Plan (the “2018 Plan”). The 2018 Plan provides for the issuance of share-based awards in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and units, and performance share awards and units.
Under the 2018 Plan, option exercise prices are equal to the fair market value of Aviat common stock on the date the options are granted using the closing stock price. After vesting, options generally may be exercised within seven years after the date of grant.
Restricted stock units are not transferable until vested and the restrictions lapse upon the achievement of continued employment or service over a specified time period. Restricted stock units issued to employees generally vest three years from the date of grant (three-year cliff or annually over three years). Restricted stock units issued annually to non-executive board members generally vest on the day before the annual stockholders’ meeting.
Vesting of performance share awards and units is subject to the achievement of predetermined financial performance and share price criteria, and continued employment through the end of the applicable period.
During the three months ended September 26, 2025, the Company granted 174,155 restricted stock units and 128,629 performance share awards.
The Company recognizes compensation cost for share-based payment awards on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. For awards with a performance condition vesting feature, share-based compensation costs are recognized when achievement of the performance conditions is considered probable. Forfeitures are recognized as they occur.
Total compensation expense for share-based awards included in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations was as follows:
