<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><B>Carlsbad, Calif.</B> &#150; September&nbsp;5, 2017 &#150; ViaSat, Inc. (Nasdaq: VSAT) has commenced a cash tender offer to purchase any and all of its
$575&nbsp;million in aggregate principal amount of outstanding 6.875% Senior Notes due 2020 (CUSIP No. 92552VAF7) (the &#147;Notes&#148;). The tender offer is being made on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in an Offer to Purchase
and related Letter of Transmittal, each dated September&nbsp;5, 2017. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The tender offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of
certain conditions, as described in the Offer to Purchase, including the condition that ViaSat shall have received net proceeds from one or more debt financings sufficient to repurchase all of the Notes tendered, including the payment of all accrued
and unpaid interest, and costs and expenses incurred in connection with the tender offer, as described in more detail in the Offer to Purchase. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">ViaSat is offering to purchase Notes validly tendered (and not validly withdrawn) prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on
September&nbsp;20, 2017 unless extended (the &#147;Expiration Time&#148;) at a price of $1,019.00 for each $1,000 in principal amount of Notes (the &#147;Tender Offer Consideration&#148;), plus accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including,
the settlement date for the tender offer. ViaSat expects the settlement date to occur on September&nbsp;21, 2017. Notes validly tendered may be validly withdrawn at any time prior to 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on September&nbsp;20, 2017 (the

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Concurrently with the commencement of the tender offer, ViaSat issued a conditional notice of redemption to holders of the Notes to redeem any
