Item 1.01.

Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On September 6, 2023, Viasat, Inc. (“Viasat”) entered into a Joinder Agreement (the “Joinder Agreement”) with MUFG Bank, Ltd., as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lender party thereto, under which certain provisions from that certain Credit Agreement, dated as of November 26, 2013, with MUFG Bank, Ltd. (as successor-in-interest to MUFG Union Bank, N.A.), as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto (as amended, the “Revolving Credit Agreement”), were modified, supplemented and/or amended so as to give effect to the provisions of the Joinder Agreement. The Joinder Agreement, among other matters, increases the available commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement by an aggregate amount of $50,000,000. After giving effect to the Joinder Agreement, the total aggregate amount of the commitments under the Revolving Credit Agreement is $647,500,000.00.

Borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement bear interest, at Viasat’s option, at either (1) the highest of the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, Term SOFR for an interest period of one month plus 1.00%, or the administrative agent’s prime rate as announced from time to time, or (2) Term SOFR (not to be less than 0.00% per annum), plus, in the case of each of (1) and (2), an applicable interest margin that is based on Viasat’s total leverage ratio. The Revolving Credit Agreement is required to be guaranteed by certain significant domestic subsidiaries of Viasat (as defined in the Revolving Credit Agreement) and secured by substantially all of Viasat’s and any subsidiary guarantor’s assets. As of the date hereof, none of Viasat’s subsidiaries guaranteed the Revolving Credit Agreement.

The Revolving Credit Agreement contains financial covenants regarding a maximum total leverage ratio and a minimum interest coverage ratio. In addition, the Revolving Credit Agreement contains covenants that restrict, among other things, the ability of Viasat and its restricted subsidiaries to incur additional debt, grant liens, sell assets, make investments and acquisitions, make capital expenditures, pay dividends and make certain other restricted payments. The Revolving Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an event of default, the lenders may declare all outstanding amounts under the Revolving Credit Agreement immediately due and payable, and may terminate commitments to make any additional advances thereunder.

Certain of the lenders under the Revolving Credit Agreement, and their respective affiliates, have performed, and may in the future perform, for Viasat and its affiliates various commercial banking, investment banking, financial advisory or other services for which they have received and/or may in the future receive customary compensation and expense reimbursement.

The description of the Joinder Agreement contained herein does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Joinder Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this report and is incorporated herein by reference.
