KVH Industries, Inc., (Nasdaq: KVHI) (“KVH” or the “Company”), today released a presentation to shareholders explaining why shareholders should elect the Company’s two highly qualified candidates – Cielo Hernandez and Cathy-Ann Martine-Dolecki – to the Board of Directors (the “Board”) by voting on the BLUE proxy card ahead of KVH’s Annual Meeting of Shareholders to be held on June 17, 2021.

The presentation is available at: https://protectkvh.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/KVH-Industries-On-Course-For-Long-Term-Value_May-2021.pdf.

In the presentation, KVH highlights its business momentum, demonstrated by KVH’s outperformance of peers1 and strong first quarter financial results, including 16% revenue growth and a 48% increase in AgilePlans revenue.2

KVH is confident that its long-term strategy to (1) focus on further accelerating its AgilePlans connectivity as a service (CaaS) subscription model, (2) commercialize inertial navigation products with its Photonic Integrated Chip (PIC) technology and (3) advance its KVH Watch Internet of Things (IoT) platform, will continue to drive growth, boost profitability and position the Company to generate improved returns for shareholders.

In the presentation, the Company also provides information and analysis that demonstrate why the individuals nominated by VIEX Capital Inc. (“VIEX”) are not right for the KVH Board. These candidates have troubling records, no relevant industry experience and have put forward no plan or ideas for KVH’s business that go beyond the generic. Most troublingly, three members of the VIEX group, Eric Singer, Peter Shaper and Potomac Capital, have been found by courts of law to have breached or aided and abetted the breach of fiduciary duties to public company shareholders.

KVH ENCOURAGES SHAREHOLDERS TO VOTE ON THE BLUE PROXY CARD TODAY
