 report on Form 10-Kfor the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024, as filed with the SEC. It is our policy to comply with U.S. insider trading laws and regulations, including with respect to transactions in our own securities. Our insider trading compliance policies and procedures prohibit all of our directors and officers from engaging in hedging transactions involving Viasat’s securities, such as prepaid variable forward contracts, equity swaps, collars and exchange funds or other transactions that hedge or offset, or are designed to hedge or offset, any decrease in the market value of our equity securities, because these transactions would allow a director or officer to continue to own the covered securities, but without the full risks and rewards of ownership. When a director or officer engages in a hedging transaction, such director or officer may no longer have the same objectives as Viasat’s other stockholders. Therefore, such transactions involving Viasat’s securities are prohibited. We also strongly discourage any pledges of Viasat equity securities that could have any adverse impact on the company. Accordingly, our insider trading compliance policies and procedures also prohibit our directors and officers from purchasing Viasat securities on margin, placing Viasat securities in a margin account or pledging Viasat securities as a collateral for a loan, in each case unless pre-clearedby our General Counsel (or Chief Corporate Counsel for transaction by our General Counsel). Tax and Accounting Considerations We select and implement the components of our executive compensation program primarily for their ability to help us achieve the company’s objectives and not based on any unique or preferential financial tax or accounting treatment. In addition, Section 162(m) of the Code generally sets a limit of $1.0 million on the amount of annual compensation that we may deduct for federal income tax purposes for certain covered individuals. We have not adopted a policy requiring that all compensation be deductible, although the Committee will continue to review the Section 162(m) deductibility of our compensation arrangements in fiscal year 2025 and future fiscal years. The Committee retains the discretion to approve compensation that may not qualify for the compensation deduction if, in light of all applicable circumstances, it would be in our best interest for such compensation to be paid without regard to whether it may be tax deductible.
