PROXY STATEMENT
FOR THE ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS
TO BE HELD ON NOVEMBER 14, 2007
 
We are furnishing this proxy statement (“Proxy Statement”) to you in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors (“Board”) of Harris Stratex Networks, Inc. (which we refer to as the “Company,” “we,” “our,” and “ours”) for use at the 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, to be held at 12:30 p.m., local time, on November 14, 2007, and any adjournment or postponement thereof. The annual meeting will be held in San Jose, California, located at 120 Rose Orchard Way, San Jose, CA. The telephone number at that location is 408-943-0777. These proxy materials are being mailed on or about October 19, 2007 to our stockholders entitled to notice of and vote at the annual meeting.
 
All materials filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, can be obtained at the Commission’s Public Reference Room at 100 F Street, N.E, Washington D.C. 20549, or through the Commission’s website at www.sec.gov. You may obtain information on the operation of the Public Reference Room by calling 800-SEC-0330.
 
ABOUT THE MEETING
 
What is the purpose of the meeting?
 
The purpose of the 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders is to obtain stockholder action on the matters outlined in the notice of meeting included with this Proxy Statement. Our Class A common stockholders and our sole Class B common stockholder, Harris Corporation, or Harris, will vote together to elect four Class A directors, and Harris will vote as the sole Class B common stockholder, to elect five Class B directors. In addition, our Class A and Class B common stockholders, voting together, will be asked to ratify the appointment by our Audit Committee of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for fiscal year 2008. In addition, management will report on its 2007 performance and respond to stockholders’ questions.
 
What is the record date, and who is entitled to vote at the meeting?
 
The record date for the stockholders entitled to vote at the annual meeting is September 21, 2007. The record date was established by the Board as required by the Delaware General Corporation Law, or DGCL, and our Bylaws. Owners of record of shares of our Class A and Class B common stock at the close of business on the record date are entitled to receive notice of the annual meeting and to vote at the annual meeting, and at any adjournments or postponements thereof. You may vote all shares that you owned on the record date.
 
What are the voting rights of the holders of Harris Stratex common stock at the meeting?
 
Each outstanding share of our Class A and Class B common stock is entitled to one vote on each matter considered at the annual meeting. In addition, Harris Corporation is entitled to one vote per share for the election of five Class B directors. As of the record date of September 21, 2007, the number of outstanding shares of Class A common stock was 25,478,101 and the number of outstanding shares of Class B common stock was 32,913,377. Because Harris owned a majority of the combined Class A and Class B common stock on the record date, it will have a majority of the votes in the election of Class A directors. Harris has agreed to vote its shares of Class B common stock in favor of nominees of our Nominating Committee, which includes no Harris representatives, for election as Class A directors. Accordingly, these nominees will be elected at the meeting irrespective of the voting of our Class A common shares.
 
Who can attend the Annual Meeting?
 
Subject to space availability, all stockholders as of the record date, or their duly appointed proxies, may attend the meeting. Since seating is limited, admission to the meeting will be on a first-come, first-served basis.


Table of Contents

If your shares are held in “street name” (that is, through a bank, broker or other holder of record) and you wish to attend the annual meeting, you need to bring a copy of a bank or brokerage statement reflecting your stock ownership as of the record date to the annual meeting.
 
How do I vote?
 
Stockholders of record can direct their votes by proxy as follows:
 
  •  Via the Internet:  Stockholders may submit voting instructions to the proxy holders through the Internet by following the instructions included with the proxy card.
 
  •  By Telephone:  Stockholders may submit voting instructions to the proxy holders by telephone by following the instructions included with the proxy card.
 
  •  By Mail:  Stockholders may sign, date and return proxy cards in the pre-addressed, postage-paid envelope that will be provided if a printed proxy statement is requested.
 
  •  At the Meeting:  If you attend the annual meeting, you may vote in person by ballot, even if you have previously returned a proxy card.
 
If your shares are held in street name through a broker, bank or other nominee, that institution will send you separate instructions describing the procedure for voting your shares. Street name stockholders who wish to vote at the meeting will need to obtain a proxy form from the institution that holds their shares.
 
Why did I receive a one-page notice in the mail regarding the Internet availability of proxy materials this year instead of a full set of proxy materials?
 
Pursuant to new rules recently adopted by the SEC, we have elected to provide access to our proxy materials over the Internet. Accordingly, we are sending a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the “Notice”) to our stockholders of record and beneficial owners. All stockholders will have the ability to access the proxy materials on a website referred to in the Notice or request to receive a printed set of the proxy materials. Instructions on how to access the proxy materials over the Internet or to request a printed copy may be found in the Notice. In addition, stockholders may request to receive proxy materials in printed form by mail or electronically by email on an ongoing basis.
 
How can I access the proxy materials and annual report on the Internet?
 
This Proxy Statement, the form of proxy card, the Notice and our annual report on SEC Form 10-K are available at www.proxydocs.com/hstx.
 
What is a proxy?
 
A proxy is a person you appoint to vote on your behalf. We are soliciting your vote so all shares of our Class A common stock may be voted at the annual meeting. The proxy holders for the annual meeting are our General Counsel and Secretary, Juan Otero and Associate General Counsel and Assistant Secretary, Meena Elliott.
 
How do I revoke my proxy?
 
If the shares of Class A common stock are held in your name, you may revoke your proxy given pursuant to this solicitation at any time before your shares are voted by:
 
  •  delivering a written notice of revocation to the Company’s Secretary, Juan Otero, at 120 Rose Orchard Way, San Jose, CA 95134;
 
  •  executing and delivering a proxy bearing a later date to the Company’s Secretary at the same address;
 
  •  submitting another proxy by Internet or telephone (the latest dated proxy will control); or
 
  •  attending the annual meeting and voting in person.

Table of Contents

 
If your shares are held in “street name,” you should follow the directions provided by your broker regarding how to revoke your proxy. Your attendance at the annual meeting after having executed and delivered a valid proxy card will not in and of itself constitute a revocation of your proxy.
 
What vote is required to approve each item?
 
The director nominees will be reelected by a plurality of the votes cast. Our stockholders may not cumulate votes in the re-election of the director nominees. The director nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative votes of the shares present in person or by proxy at the annual meeting and entitled to vote will be elected. Ratification of the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm requires the affirmative vote of the majority of the stockholders present in person or by proxy at the annual meeting and entitled to vote. Harris has advised us that it intends to vote all of its shares of Class B common stock in favor of the re-election of the director nominees and the ratification of the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm.
 
What constitutes a quorum, abstention, and broker “non-votes”?
 
The presence at the annual meeting either in person or by proxy of a majority of the outstanding shares of our common stock will constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the annual meeting. Harris, which holds approximately 56 percent of our outstanding common stock, has advised us that it intends to be present at the meeting thus guaranteeing the presence of a quorum.
 
Under the DGCL, an abstaining vote and a broker “non-vote” are counted as present and are, therefore, included for purposes of determining whether a quorum of shares is present at the annual meeting. A broker “non-vote” occurs when a broker or other nominee holding shares in street name for a beneficial owner signs and submits a proxy or votes with respect to shares of common stock held in a fiduciary capacity, but does not vote on a particular matter because the nominee does not have the discretionary voting power with respect to that matter and has not received instructions from the beneficial owner or because the broker elects not to vote on a matter as to which it does have discretionary voting power. Under the rules governing brokers who are voting with respect to shares held in street name, brokers have the discretion to vote such shares on routine matters, but not on non-routine matters. Routine matters include both proposals at the annual meeting, the election of Class A Directors and the ratification of the selection of our independent public accounting firm. With respect to ratification of Proposal No. 1, which requires a plurality vote, broker “non-votes” will have no effect. With respect to ratification of Proposal No. 2 (ratification of the selection of our independent registered public accounting firm), which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present at the meeting and entitled to vote, broker “non-votes” will have the same effect as a negative vote.
 
Who pays for the cost of solicitation?
 
We will bear the entire cost of solicitation, including the preparation, assembly, printing, and mailing of this Proxy Statement, the proxy card, and any additional solicitation materials that may be furnished to our stockholders and the maintenance and operation of the website providing Internet access to these proxy materials. We will reimburse brokerage firms and other custodians, nominees, and fiduciaries for reasonable expenses incurred in sending proxy materials to beneficial owners of our common stock and maintaining the Internet access for such materials and the submission of proxies. We may supplement the original solicitation of proxies by mail, by solicitation by telephone, telegram, or other means by our directors, officers and employees. No additional compensation will be paid to these individuals for any such services.
 
What is the deadline for submitting proposals and director nominations for the 2008 Annual Meeting?
 
Stockholder Proposals.  In order for stockholder proposals to be considered properly brought before our 2008 annual meeting, the stockholder’s written notice thereof must be received by our General Counsel and Secretary, Juan Otero, at the address of our principal executive offices, not less than 60 days or more than 90 days prior to the meeting. However, in the event that we give less than 70 days prior notice or public disclosure of the annual meeting date, the notice must be received by our General Counsel and Secretary at the address noted above no less than 10 days following the date of our notice or public disclosure of the meeting. The full requirements for the notice are

in Article II, Section 13 of our Bylaws, which is available for review at our website, www.harrisstratex.com. In addition, if a stockholder wishes the proposal to be considered for inclusion in our proxy materials for the 2008 annual meeting under SEC Rule 14a-8, written notice thereof must be received by our General Counsel and Secretary at the address noted above by May 19, 2008.
 
Nomination of Director Candidates.  In order for a stockholder to nominate a director for election at our 2008 annual meeting, the stockholder’s written notice thereof must be received by our General Counsel and Secretary, Juan Otero, at the address of our principal executive officers, not less than 60 days or more than 90 days prior to the meeting. However, in the event that we give less than 70 days prior notice or public disclosure of the annual meeting date, the notice must be received by our General Counsel and Secretary at the address noted above no less than 10 days following the date of our notice or public disclosure of the meeting. The full requirements for the notice are in Article II, Section 14 of our Bylaws, which is available for review at our website, www.harrisstratex.com.
 
The proxies to be solicited by the Board for the 2008 annual meeting will confer discretionary authority on the proxy holders to vote on any stockholder proposal presented at such annual meeting if the Company fails to receive notice of such stockholder’s proposal for the meeting in accordance with the periods specified above.
 
Who will count the votes?
 
An automated system administered by Bowne & Co., Inc. will tabulate the votes cast by proxy. A representative of Bowne & Co., Inc. will act as the inspector of elections for the annual meeting and will tabulate the votes cast in person at the annual meeting.
 
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
 
We believe in and are committed to sound corporate governance principles. Consistent with our commitment to and continuing evolution of corporate governance principles, we adopted a Code of Business Ethics, Nominating Committee, Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Corporate Governance Committee charters and corporate governance guidelines. The committee charters are available at http://www.harrisstratex.com/cg/committee-charters.asp. Each of our Board committees is required to conduct an annual review of its charter and applicable guidelines.
 
Board Members
 
The Board is composed of nine members, of whom four are Class A directors and five are Class B directors. All directors except Messrs. Campbell and Lance have held office as directors since January 26, 2007, the date of the contribution by Harris of the Microwave Communications Division of Harris, or MCD, and our merger with Stratex Networks, Inc. or Stratex. Messrs. Campbell and Lance have held office as directors since we were incorporated as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Harris on October 5, 2006. The Board is chaired by Mr. Kissner.

As a result of the combination of MCD and Stratex, as described above, Harris owns approximately 56 percent of the outstanding shares of our common stock as of the date of this Proxy Statement. We are a “controlled” entity under the listing requirements of NASDAQ and, as such, exempt from NASDAQ’s director independence requirements, with the exception those applicable to the Audit Committee. While we are not required to have independent directors on our Compensation and Nominating committees, the majority of our directors on these

committees are independent. Class A directors are nominated by the Nominating Committee of the Board, which consists solely of Class A directors and are elected by the holders of Class A and Class B common stock voting together as a class. Class B directors are elected by Harris, as the sole stockholder of Class B common stock. The number of Class A and Class B directors is defined in our restated certificate of incorporation, or charter, and our Bylaws.
 
The Board has determined that as of the date of this Proxy Statement, each of our current directors except Messrs. Kissner, Campbell and Lance has no material relationship with the Company and is independent within the Company’s director independence standards and, in the case of the Audit Committee, in accordance with the NASDAQ Global Market listing requirements. All directors are requested to attend the annual meeting of stockholders.
 
Board and Committee Meetings and Attendance
 
During fiscal year 2007, the Board held six meetings, five Audit Committee meetings, two Compensation Committee meetings and two Corporate Governance Committee meetings. All of our board members attended at least 75 percent of the total number of Board meetings and the number of meetings of the committee or committees on which the member served during the fiscal year.

Audit Committee
 
The Audit Committee is primarily responsible for approving the services performed by our independent registered public accounting firm and reviewing our accounting practices, our corporate financial reporting and system of internal accounting controls. The Audit Committee currently consists of Messrs. Evans, Hasler, and Thompson (Chairman). In February 2007, the Audit Committee adopted, and the Board approved, a charter for the Audit Committee. No material amendments to the Audit Committee Charter were made during fiscal year 2007. The Audit Committee is comprised of independent, non-employee members of our Board who are “financially sophisticated” under the rules of NASDAQ. The Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Thompson is the “audit committee financial expert,” as defined under Item 407(d)(5)(i) of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, but that status does not impose on him duties, liabilities or obligations that are greater than the duties, liabilities or obligations otherwise imposed on him as a member of our Audit Committee and our board of directors.
 
Compensation Committee
 
The Compensation Committee has the authority and responsibility to approve our overall compensation strategy, to administer our annual and long-term compensation plans and to review and make recommendations to the Board regarding executive compensation. The Compensation Committee is comprised of independent, non-employee members of the Board. The Compensation Committee also retains an independent compensation consultant who advises on matters of executive compensation. The Compensation Committee has adopted, and the Board of Directors has approved, a Compensation Committee charter.
 
Compensation Committee Interlock and Insider Participation
 
The Compensation Committee currently consists of Mr. Clifford H. Higgerson, Dr. Mohsen Sohi, and Dr. James C. Stoffel (Chairman). None of these individuals is an officer or former officer of the Company. None of our executive officers served on the board of directors or compensation committees of Harris or any other entity during the past fiscal year.
 
Corporate Governance Committee
 
The Corporate Governance Committee identifies best practices and recommends steps consistent with sound and current corporate governance principles. The Committee consists of Messrs. Hasler (Chairman), Kissner, and Lance. The Committee is comprised of non-employee members of the Board. The Corporate Governance Committee has adopted, and the Board has approved, a Corporate Governance Committee charter.
 
Nominating Committee
 
The Nominating Committee assists the Board in selecting nominees for election to the Board as Class A directors and recommends Class A director candidates to the Board. The Nominating Committee currently consists of Messrs. Hasler (Chairman), Higgerson, Kissner and Thompson. As Class A directors, the Nominating Committee will periodically review whether a more formal policy should be adopted. There is no difference in the manner in which the Nominating Committee evaluates nominees for director based on whether the nominee is recommended by a stockholder. The Company currently does not pay a third party to identify or assist in identifying or evaluating potential nominees, although the Company may in the future utilize the services of such third parties. The Nominating Committee has adopted, and the Board has approved, a Nominating Committee charter.
 
In reviewing potential candidates for the Board, the Nominating Committee considers the individual’s experience and background. Candidates for the position of director should exhibit proven leadership capabilities, high integrity, exercise high level responsibilities within their chosen career, and possess an ability to quickly grasp complex principles of business, finance, international transactions, and communication technologies. In general, candidates will be preferred who hold an established executive level position in business, finance, law, education, research, government, or civic activity. In making its selection, the Nominating Committee bears in mind that the foremost responsibility of a director of a corporation is to represent the interests of the stockholders as a whole.

The Nominating Committee has nominated, and the Board approved, Charles D. Kissner, William A. Hasler, Edward F. Thompson, and Clifford H. Higgerson to stand for election as Class A directors at the 2007 annual meeting.
 
Stockholder Communications with the Board
 
Stockholders who wish to communicate directly with the independent directors on the Board may do so by sending an e-mail to Juan Otero, the Company’s General Counsel and Secretary, at hsxbod@hstx.com, or may send a letter addressed to: Harris Stratex Networks, Inc. Board, c/o Juan Otero, General Counsel and Secretary, 120 Rose Orchard Way, San Jose, CA 95134. The General Counsel and Secretary monitors these communications and provides a summary of all received messages to the Board at its regularly scheduled meetings. When warranted by the nature of communications, the General Counsel and Secretary may obtain more immediate attention of the appropriate committee or independent director of the Board, independent advisors, or management. The General Counsel and Secretary may decide in his judgment whether a response to any stockholder communication is appropriate.
 
Code of Conduct
 
We implemented our Code of Conduct effectively on January 26, 2007. All of our employees, including the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Principal Accounting Officer, and others are required to abide by the Code of Conduct to help ensure that our business is conducted in a consistently ethical and legal manner. The Audit Committee has adopted a written policy, and management implemented a reporting system, intended to encourage our employees to bring to the attention of management and the Audit Committee any complaints regarding the integrity of our internal financial controls or the accuracy or completeness of financial or other information related to our financial statements.
 
Contractual and Other Control Arrangements
 
In connection with the completion of the merger, we and Harris entered into several agreements, including an investor agreement, which provides Harris with ongoing governance rights. In addition, prior to the closing of the merger and the contribution transaction, we amended and restated our charter and Bylaws, to reflect these governance arrangements.
 
Election of Class B Directors
 
Harris and we have agreed that, so long as Harris holds a majority of the total number of votes entitled to be cast generally in an election of directors to the Board (other than directors elected separately as a Class by the holders of Class B common stock), there will be nine directors, of which five will be elected separately by Harris as the only holder of shares of Class B common stock. During this period, the quorum for action by the Board will be a majority, which majority must include at least four of the Class B directors. Harris has agreed that, until the second anniversary of the completion of the proposed transactions, two of the five Class B directors it is entitled to elect must satisfy the following requirements: One must meet the independence requirements for directors serving on an audit committee as prescribed by the Marketplace Rules applicable to companies listed on NASDAQ Stock Market, which rules we refer to in this Proxy Statement as the NASDAQ rules, and one must not be an employee of Harris or any of its subsidiaries (without regard to us or any of our subsidiaries).
 
The remaining four directors, known as the Class A directors or the non-Harris directors, will be nominated by a nominating committee of the Board of consisting solely of non-Harris directors and will be elected by the holders of Class A and Class B common stock voting together as a class. In addition, under the terms of the investor agreement, Harris has agreed to vote all of its shares in the election of the non-Harris directors for the nominees proposed by nominating committee so long as Harris holds a majority of the total number of votes entitled to be cast generally in an election of the Class A directors.

Table of Contents

At any time when Harris holds less than a majority but 10 percent or more of the total number of votes entitled to be cast generally in an election of the directors to the Board (other than directors elected separately by the holders of Class B common stock), Harris will be entitled to elect a number of Class B directors equal to Harris’ voting percentage in such election times the number of directors then comprising the Board (rounding down to the next whole number of directors).
 
Harris has the right to remove any Class B director with or without cause at any time for any reason and will have the right to elect any successor director to the fill vacancies created by such removal. Any vacancy created by the resignation, death, or incapacity of a Class B director will be filled by the other Class B directors then in office and, if none, by Harris. Only the holders of Class A common stock, voting separately as a class, will be permitted to remove the Class A directors without cause or fill vacancies created by such removal, if not filled by the Class A directors then in office. To the extent Harris owns any shares of Class A common stock, it has agreed that it will not vote those shares for the removal of any Class A director without cause and will vote all of its shares of Class A common stock for any individual nominated by the nominating committee to replace any Class A director who has been removed with or without cause.
 
TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS
 
It is the policy and practice of our Board to review and assess information concerning transactions involving related persons. Related persons include our majority stockholder, Harris, and our directors and executive officers and their immediate family members. If the determination is made that a related person has a material interest in a transaction involving us, then the disinterested members of our Board would review and approve or ratify it, and we would disclose the transaction in accordance with SEC rules. If the related person is a member of our Board, or a family member of a director, then that director would not participate in any discussion involving the transaction at issue.
 
Our Code of Conduct prohibits all employees, including our executive officers, from benefiting personally from any transactions with us other than approved compensation benefits.
 
Harris is a significant related party to us through its a 56 percent ownership of our common stock. Our investor agreement with Harris provides that:
 
Harris will not, and will not permit any of its affiliates to, directly or indirectly, enter into any transaction or series of related transactions with us or any of our subsidiaries unless (i) the transaction is on arm’s length terms and (ii) if it has a fair market value of more than $5 million, the transaction must be approved in advance by a majority of the Class A Directors. The foregoing restrictions do not apply to:
 
• transactions relating to employment arrangements, employee benefits, stock options and stock ownership plans approved by the Board,
 
• the payment of reasonable and customary fees to Directors who are not Harris Stratex Networks employees,
 
• indemnification or insurance arrangements covering Harris Stratex Networks directors and officers, and
 
• any payments or other transactions pursuant to our tax-sharing agreement with Harris.
 
We have sales to, and purchases from, Harris and/or other Harris entities from time to time. Our sales to Harris entities in fiscal 2007 were $1.9 million. On January 26, 2007, we entered into a transition services agreement with Harris to provide for certain services during the period subsequent to the merger with Stratex. These services are charged to us based primarily on actual usage and include database management, supply chain operating systems, e-Business services, sales and service, financial systems, back office material resource planning support, HR systems, internal and information systems shared services support, network management and help desk support, and server administration and support. We paid Harris $3.7 million in fiscal 2007 for these services. We share the directors’ and officers’ insurance policy with Harris. The primary layer is available to Harris and the Company on a first-case, first-served basis. We have an additional $25 million of insurance coverage, which is for use solely by us

Table of Contents

and our officers and directors. An extra $10 million of additional coverage is in place for directors only. We owe Harris $204,834 for this insurance coverage.
 
Prior to January 26, 2007, MCD used certain assets in Canada owned by Harris that were not contributed to us as part of the Combination Agreement. We continue to use assets in Canada owned by Harris in our business, and have entered into a 5-year capital lease agreement with Harris to accommodate this use. Our total obligation to Harris under the lease agreement is $5.9 million. In addition, we have another lease agreement with Harris Corporation for premises in Florida used by a portion of our network operations group.
 
Prior to our merger, some of the former MCD executives were awarded options to purchase Harris common stock. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R) “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”), we recognized these expenses and have reimbursed Harris Corporation with cash in the amount of $1.6 million. We have agreed with Harris that Harris and its other affiliates are only permitted to enter into transactions with us if the transaction is approved by the majority of non-Harris directors on the Board or is on terms no less favorable in any material respect to us than those that could have been obtained by us taking into consideration the then prevailing facts and circumstances, if we negotiated the transaction with an informed, unrelated third party. However, if a transaction has a fair market value of more than $5 million, it must be approved in advance by a majority of Class A directors. Harris and Harris Stratex have agreed that certain specified transactions relating to the payment of directors’ fees, employee benefits and other similar arrangements, indemnification arrangements and tax-sharing arrangements between us and any other entity with which we file a consolidated tax return or with which we are part of a consolidated group for tax purposes will not be subject to these restrictions. For further discussion, please refer to the “Summary Compensation Table,” on page 25.
 
Tax Sharing Arrangements
 
We have entered into a tax sharing agreement which provides that if our financial results are required to be included in a Harris consolidated, combined, or unitary income or franchise tax return, or vice versa, the parties have agreed to consent to the inclusion of such results in the combined return. We have agreed to reimburse Harris for any tax liability of ours reflected in a Harris tax return (and vice versa), and Harris has agreed to reimburse us for use of any tax benefits of ours that are used by Harris in its tax return (and vice versa). These arrangements also apply to our subsidiaries as well as to those of Harris Corporation, although for purposes of the tax sharing agreement, neither we nor our subsidiaries are considered subsidiaries of Harris Corporation. There were no settlement payments under these arrangements that we recorded in the fiscal year ended June 29, 2007.
 
DIRECTOR COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS
 
The form and amount of director compensation is reviewed and assessed from time to time by the Corporate Governance Committee with changes, if any, recommended to the Board for action. Director compensation may take the form of cash, equity, and other benefits ordinarily available to directors.
 
Directors who are not employees of ours currently receive the following fees, as applicable, for their services on our Board:
 
  •  $30,000 basic annual cash retainer, payable on a quarterly basis, which a director may elect to receive in the form of Class A common stock;
 
  •  $10,000 annual cash retainer, payable on a quarterly basis, for service as Chairman of the Board and as Chairman of the Audit Committee;
 
  •  $5,000 annual cash retainer, payable on a quarterly basis, for service as the Chairman of the Corporate Governance Committee of our Board;
 
  •  $8,000 annual cash retainer, payable on a quarterly basis, for serving as Chairman of the Compensation Committee;

  •  $3,000 for attendance at each meeting or $1,500 for participation in a telephonic meeting of our Board; $2,000 for attendance at each committee meeting; and $1,000 for participation in a telephonic Committee meeting; and
 
  •  Annual grant of Class A common stock valued at $60,000 ($90,000 for the period from 1/26/07 — 6/29/07) with a one-year vesting period with 25 percent of the grant vesting per quarter.
 
We reimburse each non-employee director for reasonable travel expenses incurred in connection with attendance at Board and committee meetings on our behalf, and for expenses such as supplies, continuing director education costs, including travel for one course per year. Employee directors are not compensated for service as a director.

(1) Our directors commenced service on January 26, 2007, the date of the merger and combination. Each director received an initial grant of restricted shares with a value of $90,000 pursuant to our 2007 Stock Equity Plan upon commencement of the director’s service for each year of service on the board of directors. The amounts shown represent the compensation expense that we recognized in our fiscal year 2007 consolidated financial statements as determined in accordance with SFAS 123(R). Pursuant to SEC rules, these amounts are not reduced by an estimate of forfeiture probability. Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts are included in Notes B and O in our fiscal 2007 consolidated financial statements, in Part II, Item 8 of our annual report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on August 27, 2007. The value ultimately realized may be significantly more or less than the amount indicated, depending on the price of our Class A common stock at the time of vesting. The awards vested with respect to 25 percent of the shares on April 26, 2007 and will vest at the rate of 25 percent for each three-month period thereafter, becoming fully vested on January 26, 2008, one year after commencement of service as a director. As of June 29, 2007, our non-employee directors owned the following aggregate number of shares of our Class A common stock: Howard L. Lance — 0 shares owned and 0 unvested restricted shares beneficially owned; Eric C. Evans — 1,468 shares owned and 4,402 unvested restricted shares beneficially owned; William A. Hasler — 9,788 shares owned and 3,300 unvested restricted shares beneficially owned; Clifford H. Higgerson — 133,395 shares owned and 3,300 unvested restricted shares beneficially owned; Charles D. Kissner — 60,075 shares owned and 3,300 unvested restricted shares beneficially owned; Dr. Mohsen Sohi — 1,100 shares owned and 3,300 unvested restricted shares beneficially owned; Dr. James C.

Stoffel — 1,100 shares owned and 3,300 unvested restricted shares beneficially owned; and Edward F. Thompson — 3,600 shares owned and 3,300 unvested restricted shares beneficially owned.
 
(2) Mr. Evans has elected to receive his annual retainer in the form of Class A common stock which vests with respect to 25 percent of the shares during each of the three months in the period ending January 26, 2008. This amount represents five months of compensation expense for the period ended June 29, 2007, as determined in accordance with SFAS 123(R.)
 
(3) Mr. Lance is Chief Executive Officer of Harris. As such, although he is considered to be one of our non-employee directors, he has elected not to take compensation for his services.
 
Indemnification
 
Our Bylaws require us to indemnify each of our directors and officers with respect to their activities as a director, officer, or employee of ours, or when serving at our request as a director, officer, or trustee of another corporation, trust, or other enterprise, against losses and expenses (including attorney fees, judgments, fines, and amounts paid in settlement) incurred by them in any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or civil proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative, to which they are, or are threatened to be made, a party(ies) as a result of their service to us. In addition, we carry directors’ and officers’ liability insurance, which includes similar coverage for our directors and executive officers. We will indemnify each such director or officer for any one or a combination of the following, whichever is most advantageous to such director or officer:
 
  •  The benefits provided by our charter and Bylaws in effect on the date of the indemnification agreement or at the time expenses are incurred by the director or officer;
 
  •  The benefits allowable under Delaware law in effect on the date the indemnification bylaw was adopted, or as it may be amended;
 
  •  The benefits available under liability insurance obtained by us; and
 
  •  Such benefits as may otherwise be available to the director or officer under our existing practices.
 
Under our Bylaws, each director or officer will continue to be indemnified even after ceasing to occupy a position as an officer, director, employee or agent of ours with respect to suits or proceedings arising from his or her service with us.

REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS
 
The Audit Committee currently consists of three members of the Board, each of whom is independent of the Company and its management, as defined by NASDAQ rules. The Board has adopted, and periodically reviews, the Audit Committee charter. The charter specifies the scope of the Audit Committee’s responsibilities and how it carries out those responsibilities.
 
The Audit Committee reviews management’s procedures for the design, implementation, and maintenance of a comprehensive system of internal controls over financial reporting and disclosure controls and procedures focused on the accuracy of our financial statements and the integrity of our financial reporting systems. The Audit Committee provides the Board with the results of its examinations and recommendations and reports to the Board as it may deem necessary to make the Board aware of significant financial matters requiring the attention of the Board.
 
The Audit Committee does not conduct auditing reviews or procedures. The Audit Committee monitors management’s activities and discusses with management the appropriateness and sufficiency of our financial statements and internal control processes. Management has primary responsibility for the Company’s financial statements, the overall reporting process and our system of internal control over financial reporting. Our independent registered public accounting firm audits the financial statements prepared by management, expresses an opinion as to whether those financial statements fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or GAAP, and discusses with the Audit Committee any issues they believe should be raised with us.
 
The Audit Committee reviews reports and provides guidance to our independent registered public accounting firm with respect to their annual audit and approves in advance all audit and non-audit services provided by our independent auditors in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. The Audit Committee also considers, in advance of the provision of any non-audit services by our independent registered public accounting firm, whether the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining their independence.
 
In accordance with its responsibilities, the Audit Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the audited financial statements for the year ended June 29, 2007 and the process designed to achieve compliance with Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. The Audit Committee has also discussed with our independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, the matters required to be discussed by SAS No. 61, Communication with Audit Committees as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board, or PCAOB, in Rule 3200T. The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and letter from Ernst & Young LLP required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, Independence Discussions with Audit Committees as adopted by the PCAOB in Rule 3600T, and has discussed with Ernst & Young LLP its independence, including whether Ernst & Young LLP’s provision of non-audit services is compatible with its independence.
 
Based on these reviews and discussions, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board that our audited financial statements for the year ended June 29, 2007 be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
 
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
 
Overview
 
This Compensation Discussion and Analysis, which has been prepared by management, is intended to help our stockholders understand our executive compensation philosophy, objectives, elements, policies, and practices. It is also intended to provide context for the compensation information for our CEO, CFO, and four other most highly compensated executive officers (our “named executive officers”) detailed in the Summary Compensation Table on page 25, and in the other tables and narrative discussion that follows.
 
The Compensation Committee has oversight responsibility for the establishment and implementation of compensation policies and programs for our executive officers to provide that they are compensated in a manner consistent with our compensation objectives and principles. The Compensation Committee also monitors the executive succession plans and monitors our performance as it relates to overall compensation policies for employees.
 
The Board generally has delegated to the Compensation Committee final decision-making authority with respect to the compensation of our named executive officers, other than our Chief Executive Officer, as to whom the Compensation Committee makes a recommendation subject to the Board’s approval. In carrying out its responsibilities, the Compensation Committee may engage outside consultants and consult with our Human Resources Department, as the Compensation Committee determines to be appropriate. The Compensation Committee also may obtain advice and assistance from internal or external legal, accounting and other advisers selected by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee may delegate any of its responsibilities to one or more

Table of Contents

directors or to members of management, to the extent permitted by our charter documents and applicable law. The Compensation Committee has authorized members of management to make salary adjustments and bonus decisions under guidelines approved by the Compensation Committee for all employees other than executive officers.
 
Awards under the 2007 Stock Equity Plan for our executives, other than the Chief Executive Officer, are recommended to the Compensation Committee by the Chief Executive Officer. All awards are reviewed by the Compensation Committee. Under our Compensation Committee charter, the Committee is authorized to approve all awards except awards to the Chief Executive Officer, which it recommends to the full Board. In fiscal 2007, the awards for all named executive officers were approved by the full Board on the recommendation of the Compensation Committee.
 
Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
 
In connection with other pre-merger activities, the prospective management team for the combined company, in consultation with several prospective members of our Board, developed and formulated for fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2008 the Company’s current compensation and benefits philosophy and objectives, which generally were reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee and the full Board at a meeting held shortly after consummation of the MCD-Stratex combination on January 26, 2007. At that meeting, the Board approved proposals for base salary, annual bonus range and long term incentives in relation to base salary, and severance benefits for all of the named executive officers, as well as Mr. Campbell’s employment agreement. The remaining elements of the compensation packages for our named executive officers were approved by the Board at a meeting on February 28, 2007.
 
The total executive compensation program was developed within the context of the newly-created company, with primary objectives being recruiting, retaining and developing exceptional executives, enabling those individuals to achieve strategic and financial goals, rewarding superior performance and aligning the interests of our executives with our stockholders.
 
The Compensation Committee recommended, and the full Board concurred, that the executive compensation program should —
 
  •  reward superior performance;
 
  •  motivate our executives to achieve any strategic, operational, and financial goals;
 
  •  reward post-merger integration efforts and results; and
 
  •  enable us to attract and retain a world-class management team.
 
Going forward, the Compensation Committee will conduct annual reviews of the executive compensation program in an effort to ensure our executive compensation policies and programs remain appropriately aligned with evolving business needs, and to consider best compensation practices and leading corporate governance principles.
 
Competitive Market Data
 
To help establish the initial level and mix of compensation for each of our named executive officers, the Compensation Committee utilized the compensation consultants Towers Perrin to advise on various matters relating to our executive compensation and benefits program. Towers Perrin’s services included:
 
  •  advising the Compensation Committee on general trends in executive compensation and benefits;
 
  •  performing benchmarking and competitive assessments;
 
  •  designing incentive plans; and
 
  •  recommending appropriate performance metrics.
 
Targets for total compensation for our executive officers, including the named executive officers, were set with reference to a benchmark group of companies derived from the National High Tech Survey of cash compensation published by Radford Surveys and Consulting (the “Radford Survey”) for technology companies with revenues between $200 million and $1 billion. We also used long-term incentive data collected by Towers Perrin for a group


20


Table of Contents

of companies that Towers Perrin reviewed with management and the Compensation Committee and proposed for benchmarking data considering primarily the following attributes: business operations in the industries and businesses in which we participate, similar revenue and market capitalization, and complex businesses that compete for the same executive talent. For fiscal year 2007, the Compensation Committee set targets for each element of executive compensation at performance levels corresponding to percentile targets obtained from the Radford Survey and the data collected by Towers Perrin.
 
Total Compensation Elements
 
Our executive compensation program includes four major elements:
 
  •  base pay
 
  •  annual cash incentive
 
  •  long-term compensation — equity incentives
 
  •  post-termination compensation
 
Each named executive officer’s performance is measured against factors such as long and short-term strategic goals and financial measures of our performance, including revenue, operating income, net income, and cash flow from operations.
 
Our compensation policy and practice is to target total compensation levels for all employees, including our named executive officers, nominally at the 50th percentile for similar positions as derived from the selected compensation database, assuming experience in the position and competent performance, although the Compensation Committee may decide to target total compensation above or below the 50th percentile for similar positions in unique circumstances based on an individual’s unique background, experience or position, because part of our compensation philosophy is to recognize outstanding contributions with above-market compensation.
 
The incentive compensation program is incremental to the base salary and has two major elements:
 
  •  an annual cash component, consisting of an incentive cash bonus, which is based on attainment of performance targets established for the fiscal year; and
 
  •  a long-term equity incentive component, consisting of: (1) performance shares with vesting generally based upon meeting performance targets over a 30-month period; and (2) stock options with a 36-month graded vesting schedule.
 
In addition, in connection with the MCD-Stratex combination, on February 28, 2007, we issued restricted shares for retention purposes to selected executives, including four of our six named executive officers.
 
Payouts for annual cash incentive awards are based upon the degree to which we achieve the applicable operating results established at the start of the fiscal year. Individual awards then may be adjusted plus or minus 20 percent to recognize the unique contributions of each executive officer. Similarly, long-term compensation in the form of performance share awards is based upon the degree to which we attain performance results established at the start of the performance period.
 
2007 Cash Compensation
 
Base Salary.  Base salaries are provided as compensation for day-to-day responsibilities and services to us. Executive salaries are reviewed after the end of a fiscal year. The first seven months of fiscal year 2007 preceded the combination of the MCD and Stratex, and the compensation of those named executive officers who were employed by MCD or Stratex prior to January 26, 2007, was not determined by our Compensation Committee. To determine compensation for the remainder of fiscal year 2007, the Compensation Committee reviewed base salaries for our named executive officers as recommended by the prospective management team in connection with the pre-merger activities, and approved the base salary of each executive officer on a case-by-case basis taking into account the individual officer’s responsibilities, his or her previous compensation with MCD or Stratex, the compensation information from the Radford Survey and the compensation program objectives. The Compensation Committee


21


Table of Contents

approved and recommended to the Board the base salaries for fiscal 2007 for our named executive officers set forth on page 25. Base pay was determined with reference to the amount paid for each equivalent executive position at the 50th percentile in the Radford Survey. If the recommended amount of base pay was more than 15 percent below the percentile amount, the base salary was adjusted upward; otherwise no adjustments were made.
 
Incentive Pay.  The short-term incentive element of our executive compensation program consists of an Annual Incentive Plan or AIP. The plan covers the second half of the fiscal year performance period. Our AIP for fiscal year 2007 provided our executives, including our named executive officers, with the opportunity to achieve total cash compensation above the 50th percentile in the Radford Survey if our financial performance for the second half of the fiscal year exceeded the targets set by the Compensation Committee. Under the AIP for fiscal year 2007, potential payouts ranged from zero to 200 percent of target cash payout depending on our revenue and operating income results, as adjusted, for fiscal year 2007. These performance targets utilized revenue and operating income computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, or GAAP, for the five-month period ended June 29, 2007 (the period subsequent to the merger), adjusted as if the merger had occurred at the end of December 2006 and to exclude unique operating items related to the merger and the combination. The adjustments included adding Stratex’s revenue and operating income for the month of January 2007 and removing post-merger purchase accounting adjustments, including the amount of amortization of identifiable intangible assets, the write-off of acquired in-process research and development costs, the amount of amortization of valuation increases to inventory and fixed assets and costs associated with the assumption of former Stratex unvested stock options. Adjustments also were made to remove other merger-related costs from restructuring, severance and integration activities. Finally, SFAS 123(R) stock-based compensation expenses for the five-month period ended June 29, 2007 and the corporate allocations expense from Harris to MCD for the month of January 2007 were eliminated.
 
The AIP for fiscal year 2007 contained minimum thresholds and payout ratios for both performance measures and assigned a weight of 60 percent to revenue and 40 percent to operating income. Performance relative to each measure was evaluated independently (see Table 1, below), and the plan provided for no payout unless our performance met at least one target threshold percentage.

In determining the individual cash incentive target amounts for the fiscal year 2007 AIP, the prospective management team and Compensation Committee considered the bonus targets set for similarly situated individuals in the Radford Survey and established targets to be near the 50th percentile plus or minus 5 percent. The average target cash incentive as a percentage of base salary earned during the second half of the fiscal year for our continuing named executive officers in fiscal year 2007 was 61 percent, with a range from 45 percent to 100 percent.
 
The fiscal year 2007 AIP did not guarantee payout of the target amounts, and the Compensation Committee considered the revenue and operating income targets to be challenging.
 
For the measurement period of the 2007 fiscal year AIP, we achieved 92 percent of the revenue target and 44 percent of the operating income target. Since the minimum threshold for operating income was not achieved there was no payout for this portion of the plan. Our continuing named executive officers received approximately 20 percent of the total payout under this plan. The specific amount paid to each named executive officer is shown on the Summary Compensation Table on page 25. Our Chief Executive Officer received $126,000, which represented


22


Table of Contents

approximately 25 percent of his base salary. We expect the short-term incentive pay to continue to be a component of our total executive compensation program.
 
2007 Long-Term Incentive Compensation Awards
 
The 2007 Stock Equity Plan permits the grant of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units, performance shares, and other stock-based awards to our employees. In establishing the recommended value of long-term equity incentives to be awarded in fiscal 2007, the Compensation Committee utilized market data provided by Towers Perrin from the available compensation database. The Compensation Committee considered the value of similar grants for equivalent positions with reference to the 50th percentile of the market. The average value of the fiscal 2007 long-term incentive award for continuing named executive officers was 117 percent of base salary, with a range from 75 percent to 190 percent. Long-term incentive awards were granted under the 2007 Stock Equity Plan on February 28, 2007, valued as follows: 50 percent through awards of performance shares and 50 percent through the grant of stock options, based on the closing price of a share of Class A common stock on the NASDAQ Global Market on that date. For the purposes of calculating how we expense these awards, we valued performance share awards at the closing price on that date, without reduction to reflect the performance and other conditions. We valued options using the method specified in SFAS 123(R). These awards are intended as incentives for the 29-month period ending June 26, 2009. We expect to present similar multi-year plans, each covering a three-year period, for Board approval each year. No new multi-year plan is currently proposed for adoption in our 2008 fiscal year, however.
 
Performance Shares.  In general, the Compensation Committee will determine the applicable multi-year performance criteria and vesting cycle for performance share awards with a view to allowing the shares to be earned at the end of each 3-year plan cycle. The fiscal 2007 performance share awards require both continuous employment through June 30, 2009, and achievement of at least the minimum performance result for one or both key performance metrics for the period from January 1, 2007 through June 26, 2009. The employment agreement for our Chief Executive Officer, however, provides for a shorter initial long-term incentive program, ending June 30, 2008.
 
The performance metrics for the current award cycle are net income, as adjusted, and cash flow from operations, as adjusted, with each measure weighted 50 percent. Net income and cash flow from operations are reported GAAP results, adjusted to make the same non-GAAP adjustments to net income and corresponding non-GAAP adjustments to cash flow from operations as the adjustments made to operating income under the fiscal year 2007 AIP, discussed above.
 
Under the 2007 long-term equity incentive awards, performance shares are earned if at least 90 percent of either target is met. The maximum possible entitlement to performance shares will occur if 120 percent of both targets is achieved. Irrespective of performance versus target, there is no entitlement to performance shares unless the award recipient continues to be employed throughout the multi-year period.
 
Table 2, below, outlines the metrics of the performance share plan adopted in 2007.

(1) We have committed to allocate additional shares if an evaluation of performance exceeds the 100 percent target, up to a maximum of 120 percent of the target.
 
Stock Options.  In general, options are granted with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Class A common stock on the grant date, which currently would be the closing price on the date on the NASDAQ Global Market on that date. Typically, the Compensation Committee awards stock options that vest and become exercisable solely on the basis of continued employment, or other service, usually over three years, with 50 percent vesting on the first anniversary of the date of the grant and an additional 25 percent vesting on the second and third anniversaries of the date of the grant. This vesting schedule applied to all of the stock options granted during fiscal 2007, which also have a term of seven years. No options were granted to any of the named executive officers in fiscal 2007 except in connection with the Long-Term Equity Incentive awards described above.
 
Restricted Stock Awards.  Awards of restricted shares or units may be made on a selective basis to individual executives for the purpose of retention. Restricted shares are subject to repurchase by us for nominal consideration if the specified vesting or other conditions are not satisfied. For compensation planning purposes, awards of restricted shares are valued at the fair market value of the shares on the date of award, without reduction to reflect vesting or other conditions. In fiscal year 2007, restricted stock awards were made to four of our continuing named executive officers (not including our Chief Executive Officer) as shown in the table of Grants of Plan-Based Awards in Fiscal 2007. Each officer’s awarded shares are subject to repurchase for nominal consideration if he or she does not remain continuously employed by us through February 28, 2010.
 
Stock Ownership Guidelines
 
While we do not have a minimum stock ownership requirement for members of the Board and our named executive officers, the corporate governance guidelines adopted by the Board encourage the ownership of our common stock.
 
Tax and Accounting Considerations
 
The Compensation Committee generally considers the federal income tax and financial accounting consequences of the various components of the executive compensation program in making decisions about executive compensation. The Compensation Committee believes that achieving the compensation objectives discussed above is more important than the benefit of tax deductibility and the executive compensation programs may, from time to time, limit the tax deductibility of compensation. Nevertheless, when not inconsistent with these objectives, the Compensation Committee endeavors to award compensation that will be deductible for income tax purposes. Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) may limit the tax deductions that a public company can claim for compensation to some of its named executive officers. The Compensation Committee believes that performance-based compensation authorized and earned under our employee stock option plans and options grants qualify as performance-based compensation that would not be subject to deduction limitations under Section 162(m) and the applicable Treasury Regulations and therefore was or will be fully tax-deductible by the Company. Accordingly the Compensation Committee believes that no expense must be accrued on account of non-deductibility under Section 162(m). Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code requires that “nonqualified deferred compensation” be deferred and paid under plans or arrangements that satisfy the requirements of the statute with respect to the timing of the deferral elections, timing of payments and certain other matters. As a general matter, it is our intention to design and administer our compensation and benefits plans and arrangements for all of our employees so that they are either exempt from, or satisfy the requirements of, Section 409A. We believe that currently we are operating such plans in compliance with Section 409A. Pursuant to recently published final treasury regulations, we expect that we may be required to amend some of our plans and arrangements to make them either exempt from or comply with Section 409A.
 
Retirement Benefits under the 401(k) Plan, Executive Perquisites, and Generally Available Benefit Programs
 
In fiscal year 2007, the named executive officers were eligible to participate in the health and welfare programs that are generally available to all full-time U.S.-based employees, including medical, dental, vision, life, short-term and long-term disability, employee assistance, flexible spending and accidental death and dismemberment. Except


24


Table of Contents

for allowances provided to former Stratex officers, such as car and housing allowances, we do not provide perquisites to our named executive officers.
 
In addition, the named executive officers and all other eligible U.S.-based employees can participate in our tax-qualified 401(k) Plan. Under the 401(k) Plan, all eligible employees can receive matching contributions from the Company. The company-matching contribution for the 2007 401(k) Plan year was up to five percent of compensation contributed by the employee to the 401(k) Plan, to a maximum per participating employee of $20,500 for employees age 50 and over, as allowed by the IRS. We do not provide defined benefit pension plans or defined contribution retirement plans to the named executive officers or other employees other than the 401(k) Plan, or as required in certain countries other than the United States, for legal or competitive reasons.
 
The 401(k) Plan and the other benefit programs allow us to remain competitive and enhance employee loyalty and productivity. These benefit programs are primarily intended to provide all eligible employees with competitive and quality healthcare, financial contributions for retirement and to enhance hiring and retention.
 
Post-Termination Compensation
 
Employment agreements have been established with each of our named executive officers. These agreements provide for certain payments and benefits to the employee if his or her employment with us is terminated. These arrangements are discussed in more detail on page 35. We have determined that such payments and benefits are an integral part of a competitive compensation package for our named executive officers. Mr. Thomas H. Waechter, our former Chief Operating Officer, voluntarily terminated his employment effective June 7, 2007. Under the terms of his employment agreement, he received severance pay of $1,350,000 and an annual incentive payout of $360,000 for fiscal year 2007. He also received a cash payment of $43,200 as a car allowance and COBRA benefit payments totaling $17,425. He may exercise vested options over a 36-month period. The value of Mr. Waechter’s total termination benefits was $1,824,911. For additional information regarding our employment agreements with our named executive officers, reference the discussion under “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control.”
 
Compensation Committee Report
 
The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis included in this Proxy Statement. Based on this review and discussion, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Proxy Statement and incorporated by reference into our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2007.

(1) Our fiscal year ended June 29, 2007. We acquired Stratex on January 26, 2007. The amounts in this table represent total compensation paid or earned for our fiscal year as included in our annual financial statements. Accordingly, amounts for Mr. Campbell, Ms. Dudash, Mr. Koenig and Mr. Gilmore represent their total compensation for the entire fiscal year because they were employed by MCD, our accounting predecessor. Amounts for Messrs. Kennard and Waechter represent total compensation for their services for the period from January 26, 2007 through June 29, 2007, when their employment with us commenced.
 
(2) Mr. Waechter resigned as Chief Operating Officer effective June 7, 2007. The amount of compensation under Option Awards consists primarily of the amount of stock-based compensation expense recorded upon acceleration of vesting of such awards in accordance with SFAS 123(R).
 
(3) The base salaries for the named executive officers for fiscal 2008 are $500,000 for Mr. Campbell, $240,000 for Ms. Dudash, $235,000 for Mr. Koenig, $314,000 for Mr. Kennard and $188,000 for Mr. Gilmore.
 
(4) These stock awards consist of awards of restricted stock and performance shares granted on February 28, 2007 pursuant to our 2007 Stock Equity Plan, as well as awards from Harris. The amount of compensation for awards under the Harris plan were $284,791 for Mr. Campbell, $51,439 for Ms. Dudash, $23,192 for Mr. Gilmore, and $103,455 for Mr. Koenig. The amount of compensation for awards under the 2007 Stock Equity Plan were $84,150 for Mr. Campbell, $65,207 for Ms. Dudash, $69,943 for Mr. Kennard, $38,169 for Mr. Gilmore, and $35,498 for Mr. Koenig. Amounts in this column do not reflect compensation actually received by the named executive officers. These amounts represent the annual compensation expense that we recognized in our fiscal year 2007 consolidated financial statements as determined in accordance with SFAS 123(R). These amounts have not been reduced by an estimate of forfeiture probability. Assumptions used in the calculation of these amounts are included in Notes B and O in our fiscal 2007 consolidated financial statements, included in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the SEC on August 27, 2007. The value ultimately realized by the named executive officers may be significantly more or less than the amount indicated, depending on the price of our common stock at the time of vesting and whether or not certain performance and employment criteria are met to allow vesting.

(5) Stock options may consist of options to purchase Harris common stock granted prior to January 26, 2007, options granted by Stratex prior to our merger which we have assumed, and options granted pursuant to our 2007 Stock Equity Plan.

(1) Grants prior to January 26, 2007 represent Harris Corporation awards prior to our merger with Stratex Networks. These awards relate to Harris Corporation common stock. Grants subsequent to January 26, 2007 represent awards under our 2007 Stock Equity Plan and relate to our Class A common stock.
 
(2) There are no Estimated Possible Payouts Under Short Term Non-Equity Incentive Plan Awards in fiscal 2007. The actual amount paid to each named executive officer for fiscal 2007 pursuant to our 2007 Annual Incentive Plan is set forth in the Summary Compensation Table above under the column titled “Non-Equity Annual Incentive Plan Compensation.”
 
(3) Performance share vesting may begin at 90 percent of the applicable business target and reaches maximum payout at financial performance at or above 120 percent of the operations of the applicable business target. Fifty percent of the award is tied to achieving pro forma net income targets and the remaining 50 percent is tied to achieving cash flow from operations targets. Currently, performance shares have not vested for any officer because this is a 30-month plan ending on June 26, 2009, except for Mr. Campbell, whose performance shares vest in an 18-month time frame, or on June 27, 2008.

(4) Restricted stock vests, if at all, in full only on the third anniversary of the grant date, or August 25, 2009. The award is for Harris common stock.
 
(5) Restricted stock that vests, if at all, in full only on the third anniversary of the grant date or February 28, 2010.
 
(6) Stock options vest in installments of 50 percent one year from the grant date, 25 percent two years from the grant date and 25 percent three years from the grant date. The option is for Harris common stock.
 
(7) Stock options vest in installments of 50 percent one year from the grant date, 25 percent two years from the grant date, and 25 percent three years from the grant date.
 
(8) The “Grant Date Fair Value of Stock and Option Awards” column shows the full grant date fair value of the performance shares (at target), restricted stock shares and stock options granted to the named executive officers in fiscal 2007. The grant date fair value of the stock and option awards is determined under SFAS 123(R) and represents the amount we would expense in our financial statements over the entire vesting schedule for the awards. In accordance with SEC rules, the amounts in this column reflect the actual SFAS 123(R) accounting cost without reduction for estimates of forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. For performance shares and shares of restricted stock awarded by Harris, the grant date fair value is based on a grant price of $43.82, the closing market price of Harris common stock on August 25, 2006. For performance shares and restricted stock shares awarded by us, the grant date fair value is based on a grant price of $20.40, the closing market price of our common stock on February 28, 2007. The assumptions used for determining values are set forth in Note O to our audited consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2007. These amounts reflect our accounting for these grants and do not correspond to the actual values that may be recognized by the named executive officers.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change of Control
 
Employment agreements have been established with each of the continuing named executive officers, which provide for such executives to receive certain payments and benefits if their employment with us is terminated. These arrangements are set forth in detail below assuming a termination event on June 29, 2007 based on our stock price on that date. The Board has determined that such payments and benefits are an integral part of a competitive compensation package for our executive officers.
 
The table below reflects the compensation and benefits due to each of the named executive officers in the event of termination of employment by us without cause or termination by the executive for good reason (other than within 18 months after a Change of Control, as defined below) and in the event of disability and in the event of termination of employment by us without cause or termination by the executive for good reason within 18 months after a Change of Control. The amounts shown in the table are estimates of the amounts that would be paid upon termination of employment. There are no compensation and benefits due to any named executive officer in the event of termination of employment by us for cause or voluntary termination. In the event of death, the only compensation and benefits payable to any of the named executive officers would be in the form of accelerated equity vesting of Harris stock options and Harris restricted stock. As of June 29, 2007, the fair value of accelerated equity vesting of Harris awards in the event of death would be $1,225,126 for Mr. Campbell, $452,252 for Ms. Dudash, $354,188 for Mr. Koenig and $185,429 for Mr. Gilmore. The actual amounts would be determined only at the time of the termination of employment.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
 
Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our directors, executive officers and persons who own more than 10 percent of a registered class of the Company’s equity securities to file with the SEC initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership of our common stock and other equity securities. Directors, executive officers and greater than 10 percent holders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16(a) reports they file. Based solely on our review of Forms 3 and 4 received during fiscal 2007, and Forms 5 (or any written representations) received with respect to fiscal year 2007, we believe that all directors, officers, executive officers and 10 percent stockholders complied with all applicable Section 16(a) filing requirements during fiscal 2007.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS
 
At the 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, directors are being nominated for re-election to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders or until their successors are duly elected and qualified, or until the death, resignation or removal of such director.
