 DESPITE AVIAT’S MISLEADING CLAIMS  HERE ARE THE FACTS:  CERAGON’S HIGHLY QUALIFIED BOARD THOROUGHLY EVALUATED AVIAT’S INDICATION AND DETERMINED IT IS NOT IN THE BEST INTEREST OF CERAGON SHAREHOLDERS  We will consider any viable path to enhance shareholder value Since 2017, Ceragon has met with Aviat multiple times over  multiple years in good faith (including as recently as last month)  We are open to a potential transaction with Aviat that delivers full, fair and certain value  Ceragon’s Articles do not permit the appointment of five directors at this EGM  In the event that the removal of all three directors, as requested by Aviat, is approved, only up to three new directors may be appointed to fill any vacancies created  No relevant telecom expertise  No compelling board expertise – three with no board experience, one over-boarded and one destroyed value on his only board  Hand-picked nominees should not be negotiating on behalf of Ceragon’s shareholders  All directors have telecom and public company board expertise  6 of 7 directors have C-suite executive and operational experience  6 of 7 directors have private and public company M&A experience  Recently refreshed with the addition of three independent directors at last year’s AGM  Indication significantly undervalues Ceragon supported by precedent transactions and equity analyst price targets  Our largest and independent shareholder, Joseph D. Samberg (Founder and CEO of JDS Capital), also believes that Aviat’s indication of interest is well-below the Company’s value  If Aviat takes control of the Board, Aviat can reduce their price (again), execute a deal that allows Aviat to walk away if unable to secure financing and destroy Ceragon from inside the Boardroom  CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS  This document contains statements that constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.
