[Form 4] Viasat Inc Insider Trading Activity

Rhea-AI Filing Summary

Viasat Inc. (VSAT) – Form 4 insider filing

On 07 July 2025, Girish Chandran, President, Global Space Networks, reported the vesting of 8,334 restricted stock units (transaction code “M”). The RSUs converted 1-for-1 into common shares at no cost. To satisfy payroll-tax obligations, 4,488 shares were automatically surrendered to the company at $15.93 per share (code “F”), leaving a net increase of 3,846 shares in Chandran’s direct holdings.

Post-transaction ownership: 46,255 direct shares, 5,644 shares in the officer’s 401(k) and 176 in a spouse 401(k), plus 16,666 unvested RSUs remaining from the original 25,000-unit grant dated 06 Jun 2024. The next two RSU tranches are scheduled to vest on the second and third anniversaries of that grant, subject to continued employment.

No open-market purchase or sale occurred; the filing reflects routine equity-compensation vesting and tax withholding. Therefore, the signal for investors is considered neutral with limited immediate impact on Viasat’s valuation.

Positive

• Officer’s direct ownership increased by 3,846 shares, marginally enhancing alignment with shareholders.

Negative

• None.

Insights

Securities Analyst

TL;DR: Routine equity-comp vesting; neutral valuation impact.

The Form 4 shows an internal RSU conversion, not an open-market buy or sell. Although the officer’s direct stake rose by 3,846 shares, the move is automatic and tied to a pre-existing award. It neither signals aggressive insider buying nor raises liquidity concerns. With only ~4 k shares added against Viasat’s ~126 m share count, the transaction is immaterial to float or sentiment. I classify the news as neutral for investors.

Corporate Governance Specialist

TL;DR: Standard compensation event; no governance red flags.

The filing adheres to Section 16 requirements and clearly discloses tax-withholding mechanics. There are no discretionary sales, no Rule 10b5-1 plan usage, and continued ownership alignment remains intact. From a governance standpoint this is a routine disclosure with no adverse implications.

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 restricted stock unit grant was for 25,000 units on 06/07/2024. Subject to the reporting persons election to defer the receipt of the common stock, the units vest and convert into shares of common stock (on a 1 for 1 basis) at the rate of 1/3 on the 13th month anniversary of the grant date; 1/3 on the second anniversary of the grant date; and 1/3 on the third anniversary of the grant date.

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