Press Release

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Viacom Inc. (NASDAQ:VIAB, VIA) today announced the pricing terms of its previously-announced cash tender offers (collectively, the "Offers") for up to $1.0 billion combined aggregate purchase price (excluding accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the applicable settlement date and excluding fees and expenses related to the Offers) (the "Maximum Tender Amount") of the debt securities identified in the table below (collectively, the "Securities"). The terms and conditions of the Offers are described in the Offer to Purchase dated May 18, 2017 (the "Offer to Purchase") and the related Letter of Transmittal dated May 18, 2017 (the "Letter of Transmittal"), and remain unchanged except as amended hereby and by Viacom's press release earlier today announcing the early tender results and increase of the Maximum Tender Amount of the Offers.

The total consideration to be paid in the Offers for each series of Securities validly tendered and accepted for purchase was determined by reference to the applicable fixed spread over the yield to maturity based on the bid side price of the applicable U.S. Treasury Security, in each case as set forth in the table below (the "Total Consideration"), and is payable to holders of the Securities who validly tendered and did not validly withdraw their Securities on or before 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 1, 2017 (the "Early Tender Deadline") and whose Securities are accepted for purchase by Viacom. The Reference Yields (as determined pursuant to the Offer to Purchase) listed in the table were determined at 2:00 p.m., New York City time, today, June 2, 2017, by the dealer managers (identified below). The Total Consideration for each series of Securities includes an early tender premium of $30 per $1,000 principal amount of Securities validly tendered and not validly withdrawn by such holders and accepted for purchase by Viacom.

_______________
(1)		Per $1,000 principal amount of the Securities that are tendered and accepted for purchase.
(2)		The tender cap of $150,000,000 for the 2.750% Senior Notes due 2019 and the 5.625% Senior Notes due 2019 (together, the "2019 Notes") represents the combined maximum aggregate purchase price of 2019 Notes that will be purchased in the Offers (the "2019 Notes Tender Cap").
(3)		As of the Early Tender Deadline.

Viacom currently expects to accept for purchase the aggregate principal amount of each series of the Securities set forth in the column titled, "Aggregate Principal Amount Expected to be Accepted for Purchase," in the table above.

Securities not accepted for purchase will be promptly credited to the account of the registered holder of such Securities with The Depository Trust Company and otherwise returned in accordance with the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal.

All payments for Securities purchased in connection with the Early Tender Deadline will also include accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of Securities tendered from the last interest payment date applicable to the relevant series of Securities up to, but not including, the early settlement date, which is currently expected to be June 5, 2017. In accordance with the terms of the Offers, the withdrawal deadline was 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on June 1, 2017. As a result, tendered Securities may no longer be withdrawn, except in certain limited circumstances where additional withdrawal rights are required by law (as determined by Viacom).

Although the Offers are scheduled to expire at 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on June 15, 2017, because holders of Securities subject to the Offers validly tendered and did not validly withdraw Securities on or prior to the Early Tender Deadline for which the combined aggregate purchase price exceeds the Maximum Tender Amount, Viacom does not expect to accept for purchase any tenders of Securities after the Early Tender Deadline.
