EchoStar CORP 4

Charles W. Ergen (with Cantey M. Ergen) transferred 5,000,000 EchoStar Class B shares into a GRAT in a non‑cash estate‑planning transaction, reflected as a corresponding indirect acquisition of 5,000,000 Class A shares.

On July 20, 2026, EchoStar Corp. Chairman, President and CEO Charles W. Ergen, jointly reporting with Senior Advisor Cantey M. Ergen, effected a non‑open‑market transfer of 5,000,000 shares of EchoStar Class B Common Stock to a newly formed grantor retained annuity trust (the “Ergen Two-Year July 2026 ECHO GRAT”), which is treated on the Form 4 as a disposition of Class B and a corresponding acquisition of 5,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock by an indirect ownership vehicle, all at a reported transaction price of $0 per share (a gift/estate-planning move rather than a sale). After giving effect to this GRAT funding and considering their various direct, spousal, 401(k), child, charitable foundation, Telluray Holdings, LLC, and nXgen-related holdings, the Ergens continue to beneficially own very large stakes in EchoStar’s equity, with no indication of open‑market buying or selling for cash consideration in this filing.
