EchoStar CORP 13D

The Ergen group maintains roughly 51% economic (and ~90% voting) control of EchoStar, with this 13D amendment mainly documenting an internal shift of Class B shares from a maturing GRAT into Telluray Holdings and to Mr. Ergen, and stating only general investment intentions without new activist plans.

This Amendment No. 67 to the Schedule 13D reflects the Ergen affiliated group’s continued control position in EchoStar Corporation, with Charles W. Ergen reporting beneficial ownership of approximately 50.9% of the Class A common stock (and about 90.3% of the voting power) and Cantey M. Ergen about 50.7%, largely through a complex structure of Class A and high‑vote Class B shares, GRATs and Telluray Holdings, LLC; the key new activity on July 10, 2026 was an internal estate‑planning reallocation in which the July 2024 GRAT distributed 2,622,061 Class B shares to Mr. Ergen as an annuity and contributed the remaining 15,939,781 Class B shares to Telluray Holdings, after which the 2024 July GRAT expired, while the reporting persons reiterate that they may from time to time acquire additional Class A shares for investment but do not articulate any new activist agenda beyond existing support and registration rights agreements and change‑of‑control protections in the GRAT trust instruments.
