**Telesat Statement on Creditor Litigation**

**OTTAWA, CANADA – January 21, 2026** – Telesat (Nasdaq and TSX: TSAT), one of the world's largest and most innovative satellite operators, confirms that certain creditors holding portions of the company's legacy GEO (Geostationary Earth Orbit) debt have filed lawsuits in both New York and Ontario regarding the equity distribution in September 2025 of the Telesat Lightspeed business.

The lawsuits, filed at the direction of a group of distressed debt hedge funds, are without merit. The equity distribution at issue followed a robust governance process and was accomplished in strict accordance with relevant debt agreements and applicable law. Telesat intends to defend itself vigorously. Telesat and its stakeholders are firmly committed to supporting the company's customers, advancing the Telesat Lightspeed program, and creating long-term value.

Actual results may differ materially from the expectations expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements and forward-looking information as a result of known and unknown risks and uncertainties. All statements made in this release are made only as of the date set forth at the beginning of this release.

These forward-looking statements and this forward looking information are not guarantees of future performance, are based on Telesat's current expectations, and are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties assumptions, and other factors, some of which are beyond Telesat's control, are difficult to predict, and could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or forecasted in the forward-looking statements and forward looking information.

The foregoing list of important factors is not exhaustive. Investors should review the other risk factors discussed in Telesat Corporation's annual report on Form 20-F for the year ended December 31, 2024 that was filed on March 27, 2025 with the SEC and the Canadian securities regulatory authorities at the System for Electronic Document Analysis and Retrieval+ ("SEDAR+"), and may be accessed on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov and SEDAR+'s website at www.sedarplus.ca.
