announced today actions that deliver value to Harmonic shareholders. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On April&nbsp;18, 2013, Harmonic&#146;s Board of Directors approved a
modified &#147;Dutch Auction&#148; tender offer to purchase up to $100 million of Harmonic common stock at $5.75 to $6.25 per share, beginning on April&nbsp;26, 2013. Details of the tender offer are included in a separate press release issued by
Harmonic earlier today. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In addition, on April&nbsp;18, 2013, Patrick Gallagher was appointed Chairman of the Board of Directors.
Mr.&nbsp;Gallagher succeeds Lewis Solomon, who will retire from the Board prior to the Company&#146;s 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">&#147;The tender offer is the result of the Board&#146;s continued evaluation of our capital structure, the appropriate level of cash to run and grow the
business, and our free cash flow and balance sheet,&#148; said Patrick Harshman, Harmonic&#146;s President and Chief Executive Officer. &#147;With these resources, we have multiple opportunities to drive shareholder value, including investments in
strategic growth initiatives and stock repurchases. As the Board continues to evaluate our capital structure and explore ways to effectively use our cash balances to drive shareholder value &#150; and having solicited the input of several major
shareholders &#150; the Board concluded that a cash tender offer at this time would be an appropriate mechanism to return capital to shareholders that seek liquidity under current market conditions. At the same time, shareholders who do not
participate in the tender offer will share in a higher portion of Harmonic&#146;s future potential.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Harmonic has suspended the share
repurchase program it initiated last year while the tender offer is outstanding, and expects to resume the program after the tender offer is completed. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">&#147;On behalf of the entire Board, I would like to thank Lew Solomon for his ten years of service to Harmonic and its shareholders, including the last five as Chairman,&#148; said Mr.&nbsp;Gallagher.
&#147;He joined the Board at a time when Harmonic had just begun to expand beyond its roots in broadcast hardware and helped guide the Company in its evolution as a technology innovation leader. I look forward to working with our Board and
management team as we continue to pursue the significant growth opportunities that we have before us today to create long-term value for our shareholders.&#148; </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT
STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">&#147;These actions demonstrate Harmonic&#146;s ongoing commitment to creating shareholder value by returning capital to shareholders, while continuing to evolve the makeup of our Board and leading the
evolution of technology to serve our rapidly changing markets,&#148; continued Mr.&nbsp;Harshman. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Harmonic also disclosed that it received
notice on Friday, April&nbsp;19, 2013, from Voce Catalyst Partners LP that it intends to nominate three directors for election to Harmonic&#146;s Board of Directors at the Company&#146;s 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Voce and its affiliates
report owning 106,000 Harmonic shares, representing less than 0.1% of the Company&#146;s shares outstanding. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Harmonic&#146;s Board will
continue to evaluate Board structure, and will evaluate Voce&#146;s nominees and make a recommendation in the best interests of all shareholders in due course. </FONT></P>

<B>April&nbsp;22, 2013</B> &#151; Harmonic (NASDAQ: HLIT), the worldwide leader in video delivery infrastructure, today announced that it expects to commence a modified &#147;Dutch Auction&#148; tender offer to purchase up to 16&nbsp;million shares
of its common stock at a price per share not less than $5.75 and not greater than $6.25. The tender offer is expected to commence on April&nbsp;26, 2013, and to expire on May&nbsp;24, 2013, unless extended. The number of shares proposed to be
purchased in the tender offer represents approximately 14.1% of Harmonic&#146;s currently outstanding common stock. Tenders of shares must be made prior to the expiration of the tender offer and may be withdrawn at any time prior to that time.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">On the terms and subject to the conditions of the tender offer, Harmonic&#146;s stockholders will have the opportunity to tender some or all
of their shares at a price within the $5.75 to $6.25 per share range. Based on the number of shares tendered and the prices specified by the tendering stockholders, Harmonic will determine the lowest per-share price within the range that will enable
it to purchase 16&nbsp;million shares, or such lesser number of shares that are tendered and not withdrawn. All shares accepted in the tender offer will be purchased at the same price per share even if a stockholder tendered at a lower price. If
stockholders tender more than 16&nbsp;million shares at or below the purchase price per share, Harmonic will purchase the shares tendered at or below the determined purchase price by those stockholders, subject to proration and certain other
factors. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The tender offer is not contingent upon any minimum number of shares being tendered. The tender offer is, however, subject to a
number of customary terms and conditions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">None of Harmonic, its board of directors, the dealer manager, the depositary or the information
agent is making any recommendations to stockholders as to whether to tender or refrain from tendering their shares into the tender offer. Stockholders must decide how many shares they will tender, if any, and the price within the stated range at
which they will offer their shares for purchase by Harmonic. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Harmonic&#146;s directors and executive officers have advised Harmonic that they
do not intend to tender any of their shares in the tender offer. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Barclays is Harmonic&#146;s financial advisor and dealer manager for the
