William Blair Upgrades Viasat to Outperform

Carronade Supports Spin-Off or IPO of the Defense and Advanced Technologies Business
Potential 215% to 520% Upside in the Stock if Company Completes a Separation
Defense and Advanced Technologies is Worth $50/share Alone
DARIEN, Conn., July 31, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Carronade Capital Management, LP on behalf of its managed entities ("Carronade Capital", "our" or "we"), have beneficial ownership of approximately 2.6% of the outstanding shares of Viasat, Inc., (NASDAQ:<a class="ticker" href="https://www.benzinga.com/stock/VSAT#NASDAQ">VSAT</a>) ("Viasat" or the "Company") today issued the following open letter outlining its perspective on Viasat's ongoing strategic review and offering a clear and effective way to unlock the substantial, unrealized value embedded within the Company.
Carronade's letter underscores a compelling case for separating the undervalued and underappreciated Defense and Advanced Technologies ("DAT") segment, which could be one of the most attractive pure-play defense-technology platforms in the market today, with best-in-class margins, double-digit revenue growth and significant exposure to next-gen defense technologies. Carronade believes a successful execution of a DAT separation would crystallize value for shareholders, empower both DAT and Communications Services segments to chart focused, capital-efficient growth strategies and bolster financial flexibility to drive the share price up to $100 per share. Carronade believes the remaining Communications Services segment would have less debt and be positioned for free cash flow generation.
Carronade urges Viasat's Board and management team to prioritize a DAT spin as the key outcome of the ongoing strategic review and believes it would garner strong investor support.

Under this award, Viasat will design and develop this new high-assurance (formerly Type 1), high-speed EDE to meet the most stringent government security standards for protecting classified data up to Top Secret / Sensitive Compartmented Information (TS/SCI) levels. Viasat has a long history of developing and delivering National Security Agency (NSA) certified encryption solutions to help protect sensitive government data – from ground-to-space, ship-to-shore, and the tactical edge-to-cloud data centers. Viasat received this IDIQ award during the first half of its 2025 fiscal year.
Through this multi-year IDIQ contract, Viasat's government encryption team under its Defense and Advanced Technologies segment will develop, certify, and sustain this next-generation high-assurance encryptor to meet evolving government security specifications, cloud communications requirements, and security threats. Viasat's first-generation KG-142 high-assurance, high-speed EDE has been protecting cloud and transport data networks since 2017. This next-generation EDE will expand on the ground-breaking KG-142 capabilities, addressing demand for increased network traffic bandwidth, lower power requirements, and advanced device management.
These capabilities are critical as Department of Defense networks increasingly shift to utilize cloud service providers and support a Joint Warfighting Cloud Capability. The demand for high-assurance encryption to protect the government data in and between those cloud data centers and core transport networks is rapidly growing.

<h3>Why Congressional Transactions Matter</h3>
A congressional transaction is when any representative or senator either buys or sells an individual stock.
Anyone working in Congress must file a Periodic Transaction Report to inform the public of their recent transaction within 30 days of being notified of the transaction and within 45 days of the transaction date.
In April 2012, Former President Barack Obama signed the STOCK Act into law. The act prohibits members of Congress from using private information given to them by their position for personal gain such as buying or selling a stock. The act also expanded disclosure requirements for members of Congress by requiring them to file a monthly disclosure.
<h3>The Importance of Congressional Transactions</h3>
Congressional transactions shouldn't be the primary reason for an investing decision, but they can be an important factor for an investor to consider.
When a senator or representative makes a new purchase, it could be an indication they expect the stock to rise.
A sale, on the other hand, can be made for a variety of reasons, and may not necessarily mean the seller thinks the stock will go down.

Inmarsat Maritime, a Viasat company, has announced that orders for NexusWave have exceeded 1,000-vessels. Following months of rigorous development and testing, the service has gained incredible momentum in its first six months on the market with global customers adopting NexusWave for their fleets. This milestone underscores the global shipping industry's strong appetite for a fully managed, high-speed, bonded connectivity service that combines the power of multiple networks with the convenience of a single provider.
Early adopters such as "K" Line, Anthony Veder, Mitsui O.S.K. Lines, Solvang, Sallaum Lines, Parlevliet &amp; van der Plas Group and others are already reaping the benefits of transforming their vessels into floating offices and homes.
Inmarsat's NexusWave brings together Global Xpress (GX) Ka-band, low-Earth orbit (LEO), coastal LTE, and resilient L-band services into a seamless, fully managed solution. Inmarsat's unique ‘network-bonding' technology is designed to allow connected applications to harness the aggregate speed and capacity of all available networks simultaneously rather than relying on one at a time.
Recent real-world tests have demonstrated NexusWave's exceptional performance, achieving download speeds of up to 340 megabits per second (Mbps) and upload speeds of up to 80 Mbps. Network availability on vessels has consistently exceeded 99.9%, and video call quality has remained virtually unaffected by the availability or performance of any single network. Inmarsat's solution dynamically adjusts traffic routing to maintain a seamless user experience, even in connectivity hotspots.
Users also benefit from unlimited data, global coverage, and secure-by-design infrastructure, providing complete ‘connected confidence'. For seafarers onboard it means they can enjoy a wide range of applications, including web browsing, streaming, gaming, video and voice calling, messaging, and social media access, providing a ‘home-like' connectivity experience while at sea.

("Inmarsat") has agreed to a binding term sheet with Ligado Networks ("Ligado") and AST &amp; Science, LLC ("AST") to settle Inmarsat's opposition to Ligado's planned restructuring. Under the conditions set forth in the term sheet, Viasat anticipates receiving $568 million from Ligado in fiscal year 2026, which will primarily be used to manage near term maturities and address its extended maturity profile.
Under the conditions of the term sheet, and subject to Bankruptcy Court approval, Inmarsat, Ligado and AST agreed to the following:
<ul>
<li>Starting on September 30, 2025, Ligado will resume making quarterly payments of ~$16 million per quarter to Inmarsat.&nbsp;The quarterly payment amount increases 3% per year for the life of the contract (through 2107).</li>
<li>Ligado will make a $420 million lump sum payment to Inmarsat on October 31, 2025.</li>
<li>Ligado will pay a lump sum payment of $100 million to Inmarsat on March 31, 2026. Including the December and March quarterly payments, Inmarsat expects to receive a total of $568 million by March 31, 2026.</li>
<li>Ligado's lawsuit against Inmarsat is stayed effective immediately and will be dismissed under conditions set forth in the term sheet.</li>
<li>Viasat's considerable ability to provide essential mobile satellite services (MSS) globally remains unaffected. The agreement reflects Viasat's continued commitment to facilitate innovation that enables new MSS services while ensuring the interference-free provision of existing services, including vital safety services. The agreement also demonstrates the ability to introduce new satellite configurations within existing spectrum sharing terms that have provided critical stability in the industry for decades.</li>
