EchoStar CORP 13D

The Ergen group, through personal holdings, GRATs and Telluray Holdings, maintains majority economic and effective voting control of EchoStar, with this amendment mainly updating an internal GRAT-to-Ergen share distribution and reaffirming existing estate-planning and voting arrangements rather than introducing new activist plans.

This Amendment No. 69 to the Schedule 13D reflects the consolidated holdings of Charles W. Ergen, Cantey M. Ergen, several Ergen grantor retained annuity trusts (GRATs), and Telluray Holdings, LLC in EchoStar Corporation, with Mr. Ergen reporting beneficial ownership of approximately 50.9% of the Class A common stock on a converted basis (and about 90.3% of the voting power), and Mrs. Ergen reporting about 50.7%; the only material change described is the July 29, 2026 distribution of 1,502,440 Class B shares from the 2025 July GRAT to Mr. Ergen as an annuity payment, while the group reiterates estate-planning related restrictions on dispositions and a pre-existing support agreement limiting how Class A shares can be voted, without signaling new activist or strategic intentions toward EchoStar.
