Explanation of Responses:

1. This entry represents the number of shares of Viasat, Inc. common stock withheld by the Issuer to satisfy the tax withholding obligation of the Reporting Person. These shares were not sold by the Reporting Person but were instead offset from the total number of vested shares received by the Reporting Person from the Issuer.

2. The original deferred restricted stock unit grant was for 15,045 restricted stock units on 11/17/2021. Subject to the Reporting Person's election to defer the receipt of common stock, the units vest and convert into shares of common stock of the Issuer over a four year period commencing on 12/17/2022 and ending on 11/17/2025.

3. Until vested, the restricted stock unit shall be subject to forfeiture in the event of termination of employment or service with the Issuer.
