EchoStar CORP 4

Charles W. Ergen reported a gratuitous transfer of 1,502,440 EchoStar Class B shares from a GRAT into his direct ownership, with no open‑market buying or selling.

On July 29, 2026, EchoStar Corp. Chairman, President and CEO Charles W. Ergen reported a large, non‑open‑market internal reallocation of Class B Common Stock tied to his grantor retained annuity trust (the “2025 July GRAT”). The Form 4 shows that 1,502,440 Class B shares were transferred (coded “G”) from the GRAT (indirect ownership) to Mr. Ergen as a direct holding as an annuity distribution, with a corresponding 1,502,440 Class A position reflecting the convertibility of Class B into Class A for no additional consideration. Following the transaction, the 2025 July GRAT continues to hold 6,497,560 Class B shares, and Mr. Ergen and his spouse, Cantey M. Ergen (a Senior Advisor), continue to beneficially own very large positions in EchoStar through a mix of direct holdings, retirement accounts, their child’s account, a charitable foundation, Telluray Holdings, LLC, and multiple GRATs. No open‑market purchases or sales for cash occurred; the activity is estate‑planning driven and shifts where within the Ergen family structure the equity is held rather than changing their aggregate economic exposure.
