| We understand this is a difficult and unsettling time as the world confronts the threat of COVID-19. With offices around the globe, Viasat is committed to the priority of our employees’ safety, as well as ensuring the continuous delivery of products and services to our customers and partners. To stay on top of the situation, we are using our resources from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the U.S. Department of State, the World Health Organization (WHO), the European CDC, and other sources of data. Viasat seeks to provide continuity for its customers, partners, and all those who count on us to stay connected while teleworking and in quarantine conditions. We also will continue to provide emergency services for the medical professionals responding to the crisis; and enable the security services of the various governments we serve to continue to monitor and manage the situations. Like many businesses, we have a range of options to limit potential exposure to the new virus by encouraging employees whose roles allow them to work from home, using teleconferencing tools and other electronic communications. We are also discouraging all employee travel, including domestic and especially to the countries most affected by the outbreak (CDC Level 3+). We remain sensitive to the concerns of our employees and have empowered our managers to be as flexible as possible with schedules and remote work options in the weeks and months ahead. |
