9. Leases Lessee Accounting Prior to the filing of the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Cases, we had non-cancelable operating leases for, among other things, communication towers related to the DISH Wireless Deconsolidated Subsidiaries, which represented substantially all of our operating leases. We enter into non-cancelable operating and finance leases for, among other things, satellites, satellite-related ground infrastructure, data centers, office space, dark fiber and transport equipment, warehouses and distribution centers, vehicles and other equipment. Substantially all of our leases have remaining lease terms from one to 12 years , with a weighted average remaining lease term of 7.9 to 8.3 years, some of which include renewal options , and some of which include options to terminate the leases within one year . For certain arrangements, the lease term includes the non-cancelable period plus the renewal period that we are reasonably certain to exercise. Our Eutelsat 65 West A, Telesat T19V and EchoStar 105/SES-11 satellites are accounted for as finance leases within our Broadband and Satellite Services segment. Through the first quarter of 2025, our Anik F3 satellite was accounted for as an operating lease within our Pay-TV segment and as of April 2025 we no longer leased this satellite. In addition, through May 2026, our Nimiq 5 satellite was accounted for as an operating lease. However, we modified the Nimiq 5 lease effective June 2026, and it is currently accounted for as a finance lease within our Pay-TV segment and is depreciated over its economic life. 32 Table of Contents ECHOSTAR CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued (Unaudited) The components of lease expense were as follows: For the Three Months Ended For the Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2026 2025 2026 2025 (In thousands) Operating lease cost $ 122,407 $ 166,505 $ 250,398 $ 333,862 Short-term lease cost (1) 2,507 3,051 5,638 8,341 Finance lease cost: Amortization of right-of-use assets 4,389 13,238 7,496 26,469 Interest on lease liabilities 1,395 1,342 2,223 2,844 Total finance lease cost 5,784 14,580 9,719 29,313 Total lease costs $ 130,698 $ 184,136 $ 265,755 $ 371,516 (1) Leases that have terms of 12 months or less.

See below for the description of our 3 7/8 % Convertible Secured Notes due 2030 and further information on the quarterly calculation to determine convertibility . (6) Disclosure regarding fair value of finance leases is not required. We estimated the fair value of our publicly traded long-term debt using market prices in less active markets (Level 2).

Senior Notes and Convertible Notes The below summaries are not complete and are qualified in entirety by reference to the full and complete text of the applicable indentures. EchoStar Convertible Secured Notes The EchoStar Convertible Secured Notes are: ● senior unsecured obligations of EchoStar and guaranteed by the Spectrum Assets Guarantors (as defined below) and the Equity Pledge Guarantors (as defined below) on a senior secured basis; ● secured equally and ratably with certain other secured indebtedness on a first-priority basis, subject to permitted liens, certain exceptions and the first lien intercreditor agreement, by: (i) a lien on all licenses, authorizations and permits issued from time to time by the FCC for use of the AWS-3 Spectrum and for the use of the AWS-4 Spectrum (the “Spectrum Assets”) held by certain of our subsidiaries that hold any Spectrum Assets (each, a “Spectrum Assets Guarantor”); (ii) the proceeds of any Spectrum Assets sale; (iii) other wireless licenses (valued by third-party) of similar value which can be substituted for the Spectrum Assets; and (iv) a lien on the equity interests held by an entity that directly owns any equity interests in any Spectrum Assets Guarantor (each, a “Equity Pledge Guarantor”); ● ranked equally in right of payment, without giving effect to collateral arrangements, with all of our and the Spectrum Assets Guarantors’ or Equity Pledge Guarantors’ existing and future senior indebtedness; ● ranked senior in right of payment to any of our and the Spectrum Assets Guarantors or Equity Pledge Guarantors’ subordinated existing and future indebtedness and effectively senior to any of the Spectrum Assets Guarantors or Equity Pledge Guarantors unsecured indebtedness and indebtedness secured by junior liens on the collateral to the extent of the value of the collateral and effectively junior to all the existing and future obligations of any of our subsidiaries that are not Spectrum Assets Guarantors or Equity Pledge Guarantors. 38 Table of Contents ECHOSTAR CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued (Unaudited) The indentures related to our EchoStar Convertible Secured Notes contain restrictive covenants that, among other things, impose limitations on the ability of EchoStar and the Spectrum Assets Guarantors and the Equity Pledge Guarantors to: ● incur or guarantee additional debt; ● make certain investments and other restricted payments; ● create liens; ● enter into transactions with affiliates; ● merge or consolidate with another company; ● transfer or sell assets; ● allow to exist certain restrictions on paying dividends or other payments; and ● engage in new activities (applicable to guarantors). Pursuant to the related indenture, we were required to appoint independent appraisers to determine the aggregate Appraised Value (as defined in the related indenture) of the Spectrum Assets within 60 days following the issue date of the EchoStar Senior Secured Notes and Convertible Secured Notes. Based on the independent appraisals and in accordance with the definition of “Appraised Value” in the related indenture, the Initial Appraisal (as defined in the related indenture) was determined to be $ 33.1 billion, with a LTV Ratio (as defined in the related indenture) of approximately 0.3 to 1.00 . We will also be required to obtain a forfeiture appraisal of the Spectrum Assets (the “Spectrum Assets Forfeiture Appraisal”) within 60 days of the forfeiture date if wireless spectrum licenses that form part of the Spectrum Assets accounting for more than 10 % of the aggregate MHz-POPs of all such licenses constituting the Spectrum Assets are forfeited to the FCC as a result of our failure to meet its build-out milestones with respect to such forfeited licenses. If the loan-to-value ratio with respect to the Spectrum Assets as of the date of the Spectrum Assets Forfeiture Appraisal is greater than 0.375 to 1.00, then within 60 days following the date of the delivery of the Spectrum Assets Forfeiture Appraisal, we will be required to add additional Spectrum Assets Guarantors and/or pledge (or cause to be pledged) cash or additional wireless spectrum licenses as Spectrum Assets to comply with the required loan-to-value ratio of 0.375 to 1.00. 3 7/8% Convertible Secured Notes due 2030 On November 12, 2024, we issued $ 1.906 billion aggregate principal amount of our 3 7/8% Convertible Secured Notes due November 30, 2030 (“Convertible Notes due 2030”). Interest accrues at an annual rate of 3 7/8% and is payable semi-annually in arrears on May 30 and November 30 of each year, commencing on May 30, 2025. Interest payments are, at our option, payable in cash or in kind for the first four interest payment periods; provided that no payment in kind interest may be paid for any interest period if the payment of interest on the 6 3/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2030 or certain other indebtedness during such period is made in cash. Interest payments from and including the fifth interest payment period (which will be payable on May 30, 2027) and thereafter must be paid in cash. We may not redeem the Convertible Notes due 2030 prior to November 30, 2027. The Convertible Notes due 2030 are redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time on or after November 30, 2027 at the redemption prices and subject to the conversion rights and other conditions specified in the related indenture. 39 Table of Contents ECHOSTAR CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued (Unaudited) If a “fundamental change” (as defined in the related indenture) occurs prior to the maturity date of the Convertible Notes due 2030, holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or part of their Convertible Notes due 2030 at a specified make-whole price equal to 100 % of the principal amount of such Convertible Notes due 2030, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the fundamental change repurchase date. Subject to the terms of the related indenture, the Convertible Notes due 2030 may be converted at an initial conversion rate of 29.73507 shares of our Class A common stock per $ 1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes due 2030 (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $ 33.63 per share of our Class A common stock) (the “Initial Conversion Rate”), at any time on or after May 30, 2030 through the second scheduled trading day preceding the maturity date.

The Convertible Notes due 2030 are convertible, at our election, into cash, approximately 58 million shares of our Class A common stock or a combination thereof. These notes may continue to be convertible in future periods and any determination regarding the convertibility of the Convertible Notes due 2030 during future periods will be made in accordance with the terms of the related indenture. The Convertible Notes due 2030 became convertible because the last reported sale price of shares of our Class A common stock , for at least 20 trading days during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on, and including, the last trading day of the calendar quarter ended September 30, 2025, December 31, 2025, March 31, 2026 and June 30, 2026 , respectively, was greater than 130 % of the conversion price in effect on each applicable trading day.

If a “fundamental change” (as defined in the related indenture) occurs prior to the maturity date of the Convertible Notes due 2026, holders may require us to repurchase for cash all or part of their Convertible Notes due 2026 at a specified make-whole price equal to 100 % of the principal amount of such Convertible Notes due 2026, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the fundamental change repurchase date. The indenture related to the Convertible Notes due 2026 does not contain any financial covenants and does not restrict us from paying dividends, issuing or repurchasing our other securities, issuing new debt (including secured debt) or repaying or repurchasing our debt. Subject to the terms of the related indenture, the Convertible Notes due 2026 may be converted at an initial conversion rate of 5.383 shares of our Class A common stock per $ 1,000 principal amount of Convertible Notes due 2026 (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $ 185.76 per share of our Class A common stock) (the “Initial Conversion Rate”), at any time on or after March 15, 2026 through the second scheduled trading day preceding the maturity date. Holders of the Convertible Notes due 2026 will also have the right to convert the Convertible Notes due 2026 at the Initial Conversion Rate prior to March 15, 2026, but only upon the occurrence of specified events described in the related indenture.

Upon any conversion, we will settle our conversion obligation in cash, shares of our Class A common stock or a combination of cash and shares of our Class A common stock, at our election. Convertible Note Hedge and Warrant Transactions Merger with DISH Network . As defined and detailed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, in connection with the completion of the Merger, on December 31, 2023, we and DISH Network entered into a note hedge amendment letter agreement with each option counterparty pursuant to which, at the Effective Time, DISH Network’s right to purchase shares of DISH Class A Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the applicable convertible note hedge transactions was changed into a right to purchase shares of EchoStar Class A Common Stock. In addition, in connection with the completion of the Merger, on December 31, 2023, we and DISH Network entered into a warrant amendment letter agreement and warrant guarantee with each option counterparty, pursuant to which, at the Effective Time, each counterparty’s right to purchase shares of DISH Network Class A Common Stock pursuant to the applicable warrant transactions was changed into a right to purchase shares of EchoStar Class A Common Stock, and we guaranteed all of DISH Network’s obligations under the applicable warrant transactions. In connection with the offering of the Convertible Notes due 2026, we entered into convertible note hedge transactions with certain option counterparties. The convertible note hedge transactions cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Convertible Notes due 2026, the number of shares of DISH Network Class A Common Stock underlying the Convertible Notes due 2026, which initially gives us the option to purchase approximately 46 million shares of DISH Network Class A Common Stock at a price of approximately $ 65.18 per share, which in connection with the completion of the Merger converted into approximately 16 million shares of EchoStar Class A Common Stock at a price of approximately $ 185.76 per share. The total cost of the original convertible note hedge transactions was $ 635 million. 41 Table of Contents ECHOSTAR CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued (Unaudited) Concurrently with entering into the convertible note hedge transactions, we also entered into warrant transactions with each option counterparty whereby we sold to such option counterparty warrants to purchase, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments, up to the same number of shares of DISH Network Class A common stock, which initially gives the option counterparties the option to purchase approximately 46 million shares of DISH Network Class A common stock at a price of approximately $ 86.08 per share, which in connection with the completion of the Merger converted into approximately 16 million shares of EchoStar Class A Common Stock at price ranges of approximately $ 185.75 to $ 245.33 per share. We received $ 376 million in cash proceeds from the original sale of these warrants. In accordance with accounting guidance on hedge and warrant transactions, the net cost incurred in connection with the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions are recorded as a reduction in “Additional paid-in capital” within “Stockholders’ Equity (Deficit)” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2016. We will not be required to make any cash payments to each option counterparty or its affiliates upon the exercise of the options that are a part of the convertible note hedge transactions, but will be entitled to receive from them a number of shares of Class A common stock, an amount of cash or a combination thereof. This consideration is generally based on the amount by which the market price per share of Class A common stock, as measured under the terms of the convertible note hedge transactions, is greater than the strike price of the convertible note hedge transactions during the relevant valuation period under the convertible note hedge transactions. Additionally, if the market price per share of Class A common stock, as measured under the terms of the warrant transactions, exceeds the strike price of the warrants during the measurement period at the maturity of the warrants, we will owe each option counterparty a number of shares of Class A common stock in an amount based on the excess of such market price per share of Class A common stock over the strike price of the warrants. However, as specified under the terms of the warrant transactions, we may elect to settle the warrants in cash. Intercompany Loans Effective June 30, 2026, as a result of filing the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Cases, the DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan 2028 Tranche was classified as third-party debt. All other intercompany loans are eliminated in consolidations. 42 Table of Contents ECHOSTAR CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued (Unaudited) DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan The net proceeds from the offering of our 5 1/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2026 and our 5 3/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (the “DISH DBS Senior Secured Notes”) issued on November 26, 2021 were used by DISH DBS to make an intercompany loan to DISH Network pursuant to a Loan and Security Agreement dated November 26, 2021 (together with potential future advances to DISH Network, the “DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan”) between DISH DBS and DISH Network in order to finance the purchase of wireless spectrum licenses and for general corporate purposes, including our 5G Network deployment. The DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan matures in two tranches, with the first tranche maturing on December 1, 2026 (the “DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan 2026 Tranche”) and the second tranche maturing on December 1, 2028 (the “DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan 2028 Tranche”). DISH DBS may make additional advances to DISH Network under the DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan, and on February 11, 2022, DISH DBS advanced an additional $ 1.5 billion to DISH Network under the DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan 2026 Tranche. Interest accrues and is payable semiannually, and interest payments with respect to the DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan were, at our option, payable in kind for the first two years from the issuance date of November 2021. In the third year post issuance date, a minimum of 50 % of each interest payment due with respect to each tranche of the DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan were required to be paid in cash. Currently, and prospectively, interest payments must be paid in cash. Interest accrues: (a) when paid in cash, at a fixed rate of 1/4% per annum in excess of the interest rate applicable to, in the case of the DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan 2026 Tranche, the 5 1/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2026, and in the case of the DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan 2028 Tranche, the 5 3/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 (each, the “Cash Accrual Rate” with respect to the applicable tranche); and (b) when paid in kind, at a rate of 1/2% per annum in excess of the Cash Accrual Rate for the applicable tranche. As of June 30, 2026, the total DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan amount outstanding plus interest paid in kind was $ 7.612 billion, which is comprised of the DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan 2026 Tranche of approximately $ 4.767 billion and the DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan 2028 Tranche of approximately $ 2.844 billion. On July 28, 2026, concurrently with the AT&T Closing, approximately $ 2.844 billion outstanding under the DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan 2028 Tranche due to DISH DBS was satisfied in full by DISH Network. DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan 2026 Tranche. In January 2024, we completed a series of assignments resulting in the transfer of the receivable in respect to the DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan 2026 Tranche of $ 4.7 billion from DISH DBS to EchoStar Intercompany Receivable Company L.L.C., our direct wholly-owned subsidiary, such that amounts owed in respect of the DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan 2026 Tranche will now be paid by DISH Network to EchoStar Intercompany Receivable Company L.L.C. As of June 30, 2026, the total DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan 2026 Tranche amount outstanding plus interest paid in kind was $ 4.767 billion. On July 28, 2026, we contributed our receivable for the DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan 2026 Tranche to DISH Network. As a result of this contribution, the $ 4.767 billion outstanding balance of the DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan 2026 Tranche including interest paid in kind was extinguished. The DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan was initially secured by interest in the wireless spectrum licenses for the 3.45-3.55 GHz Licenses up to the total loan amount outstanding including interest paid in kind. Pursuant to the terms of the DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan, under certain circumstances, DISH Network wireless spectrum licenses (valued based upon a third-party valuation) may be substituted for the collateral. During the first quarter of 2025, we exercised our right to exchange certain of the 3.45-3.55 GHz Licenses for certain other previously unencumbered wireless spectrum licenses of equal or greater value based upon the most recent third-party valuation. The DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan is not included as collateral for the DISH DBS Senior Secured Notes, and the DISH DBS Senior Secured Notes are subordinated to DISH DBS’s existing and certain future unsecured notes with respect to certain realizations under the DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan and any collateral pledged as security for the DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan. 43 Table of Contents ECHOSTAR CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued (Unaudited) DISH Q2 2024 Intercompany Loan In June 2024, DISH Network entered into an intercompany loan with DISH DBS (the “DISH Q2 2024 Intercompany Loan”) for an initial principal amount of $ 1.508 billion.

EchoStar 2024 Intercompany Loan In November 2024, EchoStar Financing L.L.C., our subsidiary, entered into an intercompany loan with DISH Wireless L.L.C., a subsidiary of DISH Network, for a borrowing principal amount of up to $ 4.500 billion (the “EchoStar 2024 Intercompany Loan”). The EchoStar 2024 Intercompany Loan matures on November 30, 2030. Interest accrues at an annual rate of 11 1/2% and is payable monthly. Interest payments are payable in kind. DISH Wireless L.L.C., at its option, may elect to repay the EchoStar 2024 Intercompany Loan amount outstanding prior to maturity in cash or assets at a redemption price equal to 100 % of the principal amount. On March 12, 2026, we contributed our receivable for the EchoStar 2024 Intercompany Loan to DISH Network. As a result of this contribution, the total outstanding balance of the EchoStar 2024 Intercompany Loan including interest paid in kind of $ 3.890 billion was extinguished. 11. Commitments and Contingencies Commitments Recent Developments FCC Review In the third quarter of 2025, we resolved the review by the Federal Communications Commission (the “FCC”) into EchoStar’s compliance with its build-out milestones and other obligations regarding EchoStar’s federal spectrum licenses. We had previously received a letter from the FCC on May 9, 2025, indicating that the FCC was beginning a review of our compliance with certain obligations to provide 5G broadband service and raising certain questions regarding the September 2024 build-out extension granted by the FCC and mobile-satellite service (“MSS”) utilization in the 2 GHz band (the “May 9 Letter”). We responded to the FCC’s subsequent public notices with filings on May 27, 2025 and June 6, 2025. During the second quarter and the beginning of the third quarter of 2025, the potential ramifications of the FCC review to our business required us to, among other things, reevaluate the deployment of our resources and as a result, we elected not to make interest payments on a certain portion of our long-term senior notes on their respective scheduled due dates. We subsequently made such payments, including interest on the defaulted interest, within the applicable 30-day grace periods. 44 Table of Contents ECHOSTAR CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued (Unaudited) The FCC review introduced the possibility of reversing prior FCC grants of authority to us. The FCC made it clear that it viewed our spectrum as being underutilized and deemed our continued ownership of such spectrum licenses inconsistent with the public interest, and that we must sell a material amount of spectrum licenses or face a wide-ranging license revocation. Accordingly, as a result of these unforeseeable actions by the FCC that were outside of our control, we entered into the AT&T Transactions and SpaceX Transactions, as defined below, whereby we agreed to sell a material amount of our spectrum licenses for cash and an Amended Equity Amount, as defined below. In August 2025, following these transactions, we began the abandonment and decommission process for certain portions of our 5G Network that will not be utilized in our Hybrid MNO business, as defined in “ Segments-Wireless ” below. Furthermore, we believe the FCC’s actions and the resulting AT&T Transactions and SpaceX Transactions constitute one or more force majeure events under certain of our 5G Network-related contracts. On September 8, 2025, we received a follow-up letter from the FCC (the “September 8 Letter”). The September 8 Letter states, among other things, that FCC Chairman Carr has “asked FCC staff to bring the agency’s investigation to conclusion” by directing FCC staff to: “(1) dismiss VTel Wireless’s petition for reconsideration; (2) confirm that EchoStar holds exclusive terrestrial and MSS rights over the AWS-4 spectrum to which it is currently licensed; and (3) find that relevant FCC buildout and other related obligations have been satisfied by EchoStar in view of the company’s current FCC milestones.” Wireless Spectrum Licenses We have invested a total of over $ 30 billion in wireless spectrum licenses. The $ 30 billion of investments related to wireless spectrum licenses does not include $ 10 billion of capitalized interest related to the carrying value of such licenses. See Note 2 for further information. A significant number of these licenses are included in the AT&T Transactions and SpaceX Transactions as detailed in Note 1 “ Recent Developments .” In September 2024, the FCC conditionally granted our requests to extend the 5G deployment deadlines for certain of our wireless spectrum licenses based on several commitments and in a January 10, 2025 filing to the FCC , we certified to meeting the accelerated build-out (Commitments #2 and #3 of the Extension Request) and the nationwide 80 % coverage obligations (Commitment #1 of the Extension Request) due by December 31, 2024, as defined and detailed in the footnotes to the table above. Thus, pursuant to the Extension Request, the final deployment deadlines for the licenses subject to the Extension Request (listed in Appendix G) shall be extended to December 14, 2026. While the FCC has not yet updated the build-out deadlines in the Universal Licensing System, the licenses remain in effect based upon the submission of our build-out certifications. In addition, the final deployment deadlines for the licenses subject to the Extension Request (listed in Appendix G) shall be further extended to June 14, 2028 since we satisfied the remaining Extension Request commitments, as defined and detailed in the footnotes to the table above. S ee “ Recent Developments – FCC Review ” above for further information on the FCC’s completed review of our compliance with our obligations regarding our federal spectrum licenses. On May 28, 2026, we, through our relevant subsidiaries, filed requests for certain extensions and waivers of applicable time limits for our 700 MHz, AWS-3, CBRS, MVDDS, C-Band and mmWave licenses (“2026 Request”). The 2026 Request is currently pending with the FCC. 45 Table of Contents ECHOSTAR CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued (Unaudited) Our wireless spectrum licenses are summarized in the table below: As of June 30, 2026 Carrying Amount (In thousands) AT&T Transactions - Held for Sale (1) $ 16,822,253 SpaceX Transactions - Restricted Licenses (1) 8,667,276 Remaining Wireless Spectrum Licenses 8,449,478 Total Regulatory authorizations, including restricted, net $ 17,116,754 (1) See Note 1 for further information. AWS-3 Auction Northstar Wireless is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Northstar Spectrum, which is an entity owned by us and, prior to October 12, 2023, by us and Northstar Manager. SNR Wireless is a wholly-owned subsidiary of SNR HoldCo, which is an entity owned by us and, prior to February 16, 2024, by us and SNR Management. Northstar Wireless and SNR Wireless each filed applications with the FCC to participate in Auction 97 (the “AWS-3 Auction”) for the purpose of acquiring certain AWS-3 Licenses. Each of Northstar Wireless and SNR Wireless applied to receive bidding credits of 25 % as designated entities under applicable FCC rules. FCC Order and October 2015 Arrangements . On August 18, 2015, the FCC released a Memorandum Opinion and Order, FCC 15-104 (the “Order”) in which the FCC determined, among other things, that DISH Network has a controlling interest in, and is an affiliate of, Northstar Wireless and SNR Wireless, and therefore DISH Network’s revenues should be attributed to them, which in turn makes Northstar Wireless and SNR Wireless ineligible to receive the 25 % bidding credits (approximately $ 1.961 billion for Northstar Wireless and $ 1.370 billion for SNR Wireless). On November 23, 2020, the FCC released a Memorandum Opinion and Order on Remand, FCC 20-160, that found that Northstar Wireless and SNR Wireless are not eligible for bidding credits based on the FCC’s determination that they remain under DISH Network’s de facto control. Northstar Wireless and SNR Wireless appealed the FCC’s order to the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals. On June 21, 2022, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia issued an Opinion rejecting this challenge. On January 17, 2023, Northstar Wireless filed a petition for a writ of certiorari asking the United States Supreme Court to hear a further appeal, but that petition was denied on June 30, 2023. Letters Exchanged between Northstar Wireless and the FCC Wireless Bureau. As outlined in letters exchanged between Northstar Wireless and the Wireless Telecommunications Bureau of the FCC (the “FCC Wireless Bureau”), Northstar Wireless paid the gross winning bid amounts for 261 AWS-3 Licenses and notified the FCC that it would not be paying the gross winning bid amounts for 84 AWS- 3 Licenses. As a result of the nonpayment of those gross winning bid amounts, the FCC retained those licenses. In addition, we will be subject to a default payment with respect to the licenses for which Northstar Wireless did not pay the gross winning bids (the “Northstar Re-Auction Payment”). 46 Table of Contents ECHOSTAR CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued (Unaudited) The Northstar Re-Auction Payment has two components. First, if the winning bids at re-auction are less than the winning bids of Northstar Wireless, we will be responsible for the difference between the two bids. The second component is an additional payment in the amount of fifteen percent ( 15 %) of Northstar Wireless’s bid or the subsequent winning bids, whichever is less. The amount of the Northstar Re-Auction Payment will be offset by the $ 334 million interim payment Northstar Wireless has already made. For example, if the winning bids in a re-auction are $1, the Northstar Re-Auction Payment would be approximately $ 2.226 billion, which is calculated as the difference between $ 2.226 billion (the Northstar winning bid amounts) and $1 (the winning bids from re-auction), plus 15 % of the $1 (the winning bids from re-auction), If the winning bids from re-auction or other award of the AWS-3 licenses retained by the FCC are greater than or equal to the winning bids of Northstar Wireless, the Northstar Re-Auction Payment would be approximately $ 334 million, calculated as fifteen percent ( 15 %) of $ 2.226 billion (Northstar Wireless’s defaulted bids). In each case, the amount of the Northstar Re-Auction Payment would be offset by the $ 334 million interim payment Northstar already made, resulting in a maximum exposure of $ 1.892 billion. Letters Exchanged between SNR Wireless and the FCC Wireless Bureau. As outlined in letters exchanged between SNR Wireless and the FCC Wireless Bureau, SNR Wireless paid the gross winning bid amounts for 244 AWS-3 Licenses and notified the FCC that it would not be paying the gross winning bid amounts for 113 AWS- 3 Licenses. As a result of the nonpayment of those gross winning bid amounts, the FCC retained those licenses. In addition, we will be subject to a default payment with respect to the licenses for which SNR Wireless did not pay the gross winning bids (the “SNR Re-Auction Payment”). The SNR Re-Auction Payment has two components. First, if the winning bids at re-auction are less than the winning bids of SNR Wireless, we will be responsible for the difference between the two bids. The second component is an additional payment in the amount of fifteen percent ( 15 %) of SNR Wireless’s bid or the subsequent winning bids, whichever is less. The amount of the SNR Re-Auction Payment will be offset by the $ 182 million interim payment SNR Wireless has already made. For example, if the winning bids in a re-auction are $1, the SNR Re-Auction Payment would be approximately $ 1.211 billion, which is calculated as the difference between $ 1.211 billion (the SNR winning bid amounts) and $1 (the winning bids from re-auction), plus 15 % of the $1 (the winning bids from re-auction). If the winning bids from re-auction of the AWS-3 licenses retained by the FCC are greater than or equal to the winning bids of SNR Wireless, the SNR Re-Auction Payment would be approximately $ 182 million, calculated as fifteen percent ( 15 %) of $ 1.211 billion (SNR Wireless’s defaulted bids). In each case, the amount of the SNR Re-Auction Payment would be offset by the $ 182 million interim payment SNR already made, resulting in a maximum exposure of $ 1.029 billion. D.C. Circuit Court Opinion . On August 29, 2017, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit (the “D.C. Circuit”) in SNR Wireless LicenseCo, LLC, et al. v. Federal Communications Commission , 868 F.3d 1021 (D.C. Cir. 2017) (the “Appellate Decision”) affirmed the Order in part, and remanded the matter to the FCC to give Northstar Wireless and SNR Wireless an opportunity to seek to negotiate a cure of the issues identified by the FCC in the Order (a “Cure”). On January 26, 2018, SNR Wireless and Northstar Wireless filed a petition for a writ of certiorari, asking the United States Supreme Court to hear an appeal from the Appellate Decision, which the United States Supreme Court denied on June 25, 2018. Order on Remand. On January 24, 2018, the FCC released an Order on Remand, DA 18-70 (the “Order on Remand”) purporting to establish a procedure to afford Northstar Wireless and SNR Wireless the opportunity to implement a Cure pursuant to the Appellate Decision. On June 8, 2018, Northstar Wireless and SNR Wireless each filed amended agreements to demonstrate that, in light of such changes, each of Northstar Wireless and SNR Wireless qualified for the very small business bidding credit that it sought in the AWS-3 Auction. Northstar Wireless and SNR Wireless filed a Joint Application for Review of the Order on Remand requesting, among other things, an iterative negotiation process with the FCC regarding a Cure, which was denied on July 12, 2018. 47 Table of Contents ECHOSTAR CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued (Unaudited) The pleading cycle established in the Order on Remand concluded in October 2018. On November 23, 2020, the FCC issued a Memorandum Opinion and Order that concluded, among other things, that DISH Network retained de facto control over Northstar Wireless and SNR Wireless and denied the very small business bidding credit sought by Northstar Wireless and SNR Wireless, even though the parties had eliminated or significantly modified every provision previously deemed to have been disqualifying by the FCC. Northstar Wireless and SNR Wireless timely filed an appeal of the FCC’s 2020 decision. On June 21, 2022, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia issued an Opinion rejecting this challenge. On January 17, 2023, Northstar Wireless filed a petition for a writ of certiorari asking the United States Supreme Court to hear a further appeal, but that petition was denied on June 30, 2023. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. Recent Developments – Auction 113. The re-auction of the AWS-3 licenses has been designated as Auction 113. We filed an application with the FCC to participate as a potential bidder in Auction 113 and on March 26, 2026, the FCC announced that we were qualified to participate in Auction 113. On April 8, 2026, we paid $ 25 million to the FCC as a deposit for Auction 113. On May 28, 2026, the FCC and EchoStar entered into a settlement agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) regarding EchoStar’s assumption of payment obligations arising from its AWS-3 Auction defaults. Auction 113 began on June 2, 2026 and concluded on June 23, 2026. On June 23, 2026, the FCC announced that our wholly-owned subsidiary, Conundrum Wireless L.L.C., was the winning bidder of two AWS-3 licenses, with an aggregate winning bid totaling approximately $ 1.3 million. Our deposit exceeded the price of our winning bids and we received a refund of approximately $ 23.7 million in July 2026. The FCC has not yet issued the licenses to Conundrum Wireless L.L.C. On June 26, 2026, the FCC issued a letter to us confirming that, pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the NorthStar Re-Auction Payment and SNR Re-Auction Payment have been satisfied and our obligation to pay the FCC has been fulfilled. Contingencies Litigation We are involved in a number of legal proceedings (including those described below) concerning matters arising in connection with the conduct of our business activities. Many of these proceedings are at preliminary stages, and many of these proceedings seek an indeterminate amount of damages. We regularly evaluate the status of the legal proceedings in which we are involved to assess whether a loss is probable or there is a reasonable possibility that a loss or an additional loss may have been incurred and to determine if accruals are appropriate. If accruals are not appropriate, we further evaluate each legal proceeding to assess whether an estimate of the possible loss or range of possible loss can be made. For certain cases described on the following pages, management is unable to provide a meaningful estimate of the possible loss or range of possible loss because, among other reasons, (i) the proceedings are in various stages; (ii) damages have not been sought; (iii) damages are unsupported and/or exaggerated; (iv) there is uncertainty as to the outcome of pending appeals or motions; (v) there are significant factual issues to be resolved; and/or (vi) there are novel legal issues or unsettled legal theories to be presented or a large number of parties. For these cases, however, management does not believe, based on currently available information, that the outcomes of these proceedings will have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, though the outcomes could be material to our operating results for any particular period, depending, in part, upon the operating results for such period. 48 Table of Contents ECHOSTAR CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued (Unaudited) Individual Litigations Commenced by Certain Tower and Infrastructure Vendors DISH Wireless L.L.C. is currently a defendant in multiple, independent legal actions in various jurisdictions brought by various tower and infrastructure vendors. While these actions involve certain overlapping defenses generally related to the abandonment and decommissioning of certain portions of our 5G Network that will not be utilized in our Hybrid MNO business, in light of the FCC forcing us and certain of our affiliates to sell the spectrum on which our 5G Network was based, each action represents a separate and distinct proceeding. In connection with the Deconsolidated Subsidiaries during the period, we removed certain previously disclosed legal proceedings involving such subsidiaries from our consolidated litigation disclosures. American Towers On October 20, 2025, American Towers LLC, SpectraSite Communications, LLC and InSite Wireless Group, LLC (collectively “ATC”) filed a declaratory judgment lawsuit against our wholly-owned subsidiary DISH Wireless L.L.C. in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. ATC seeks a declaration that DISH Wireless has not been excused from performing its obligations under the parties’ Strategic Collocation Agreement, which relates to tower facilities for our 5G Network. DISH Wireless previously notified ATC that DISH Wireless’s performance is excused in light of the FCC forcing us and certain of our affiliates to sell the spectrum on which our 5G Network was based, which constituted, among other legal remedies, a force majeure event. On June 15, 2026, ATC filed an amended complaint that added interference claims against us. Following the filing of the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Cases by the DISH Wireless Filing Entities, on July 21, 2026, DISH Wireless filed an adversary proceeding in that bankruptcy proceeding against ATC and others to confirm that the resulting automatic stay of this action as against DISH Wireless also applies to us. We intend to vigorously defend this case. We cannot predict with any degree of certainty the outcome of the suit. Comcast Business Communications On February 27, 2026, Comcast Business Communications, LLC filed a declaratory judgment lawsuit against us and our wholly-owned subsidiary DISH Wireless L.L.C. in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. Comcast Business Communications is seeking a declaratory judgment that DISH Wireless is not excused from performing any of its obligations under those parties’ Master Service Agreement, which relates to fiber connections for our 5G Network. It also alleges that we interfered with DISH Wireless’s performance under the Master Services Agreement. Comcast Business Communications is seeking $ 54 million in damages. DISH Wireless previously notified Comcast Business Communications that DISH Wireless’s performance is excused in light of the FCC forcing us and certain of our affiliates to sell the spectrum on which our 5G Network was based which constituted, among other legal remedies, a force majeure event. Following the filing of the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Cases by the DISH Wireless Filing Entities, on July 21, 2026, DISH Wireless filed an adversary proceeding in that bankruptcy proceeding against Comcast Business Communications and others to confirm that the resulting automatic stay of this action against DISH Wireless also applies to us. We intend to vigorously defend this case. We cannot predict with any degree of certainty the outcome of the suit. 49 Table of Contents ECHOSTAR CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued (Unaudited) Crown Castle On November 20, 2025, Crown Castle-affiliated lessors who entered into a Master Lease Agreement (“MLA”) with DISH Wireless L.L.C., which relates to tower facilities for our 5G Network, and Crown Castle Fiber LLC, which entered into a Master Product Agreement (“MPA”) with DISH Wireless L.L.C., which relates to fiber and other infrastructure for our 5G Network, filed a declaratory judgment lawsuit against our wholly-owned subsidiary DISH Wireless L.L.C. in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. The Crown Castle plaintiffs are seeking declaratory judgments confirming that DISH Wireless is not excused from performing any of its obligations under the parties’ agreements. DISH Wireless previously notified the Crown Castle plaintiffs that DISH Wireless’s performance is excused in light of the FCC forcing us and certain of our affiliates to sell the spectrum on which our 5G Network was based, which constituted, among other legal remedies, a force majeure event. On January 30, 2026, the Crown Castle plaintiffs filed an amended complaint that added claims for breach of the MPA and MLA based on unpaid invoices; added us as a defendant for allegedly tortiously interfering with the MLA and the MPA; and added our wholly owned subsidiary DISH Purchasing Corporation as a defendant for allegedly breaching the parties’ Deployment Services Agreement by failing to pay $ 9.5 million. Following the filing of the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Cases by the DISH Wireless Filing Entities, on July 21, 2026, DISH Wireless filed an adversary proceeding in that bankruptcy proceeding against the Crown Castle plaintiffs and others to confirm that the resulting automatic stay of this action as against DISH Wireless also applies to DISH Purchasing Corporation and us. We intend to vigorously defend this case. We cannot predict with any degree of certainty the outcome of the suit. Other Litigations Active Wireless Technologies On November 26, 2025, Active Wireless Technologies LLC filed a complaint against our wholly owned subsidiary DISH Wireless L.L.C. in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas. The plaintiff is an entity that seeks to license a patent portfolio without itself practicing any of the claims recited therein. The complaint alleges infringement of United States Patent No. 10,805,955 (the “955 patent”), entitled “Terminal apparatus, base station apparatus, communication method, and integrated circuit”; United States Patent No. 10,855,432 (the “432 patent”), entitled “User equipments, base stations and methods”; United States Patent No. 10,531,443 (the “443 patent”), entitled “Physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) format adaptation for 5G NR”; United States Patent No. 11,019,557 (the “557 patent”), entitled “Apparatus and method for acquisition of periodically broadcasted system information in wireless communication”; United States Patent No. 10,785,764 (the “764 patent), entitled “Information change transmission method and device for single-cell multicast service”; and United States Patent No. 10,601,566 (the “566 patent), entitled “Multiple slot long physical uplink control channel (PUCCH) design for 5G NR.” On the same day, Active Wireless also sued seven other companies on the same patents: Qualcomm; T-Mobile; TCL Technology Group; BLU Products; HTC Corporation; LG Electronics; and OnePlus Technology. Generally, the patents relate to cellular handset signaling, control logic, and dynamic resource and performance management. 50 Table of Contents ECHOSTAR CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued (Unaudited) On December 16, 2025, Active Wireless asserted the same six patents against us and others, including the manufacturer of our Celero handsets, in the International Trade Commission (“ITC”). The ITC instituted a resulting investigation concerning “Certain Wireless Communication Devices and Components Thereof.” In light of the ITC investigation, the Texas court proceeding was stayed as of February 10, 2026. On March 24, 2026, DISH Wireless sued Active Wireless in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado for breach of its obligation to license its standard-essential patents on reasonable and non-discriminatory (“RAND”) terms. At the request of Active Wireless, on April 28, 2026, both we and the manufacturer of our Celero handsets were dismissed from the ITC proceeding. On May 1, 2026, in the Texas action, Active Wireless filed an amended complaint, which adds a claim alleging that DISH Wireless violated its RAND obligations. This matter is now stayed as a result of the filing of the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Cases by DISH Wireless L.L.C. We intend to vigorously defend this case. In the event that a court ultimately determines that we infringe the asserted patents, we may be subject to substantial damages, which may include treble damages, and/or an injunction that could require us to materially modify certain features that we currently offer to consumers. In the event that the ITC determines that we infringe the asserted patents, we may be subject to exclusion orders that prevent importation of devices that practice the asserted patents. We cannot predict with any degree of certainty the outcome of the suits or determine the extent of any potential liability or damages.

The plaintiff, a licensing company that was spun off after the merger of Rovi and Xperi, is an entity that seeks to license a patent portfolio without itself practicing any of the claims recited therein. The complaint alleges infringement of United States Patent No. 8,219,927 (the “927 patent”), entitled “Revealing of truncated content on scrollable grid”; United States Patent No. 8,239,546 (the “546 patent”), entitled “Global access control for segmented streaming delivery”; United States Patent No. 8,327,013 (the “013 patent”), entitled “Dynamic index file creation for media streaming”; United States Patent No. 9,369,758 (the “758 patent”), entitled “Multifunction multimedia device”; and United States Patent No. 9,661,049 (the “049 patent”), entitled “Systems and methods of providing interspersed manifest file specifications for adaptive video streaming.” Generally, the patents relate to video streaming program guides, content delivery, access control, ad-insertions, and message overlays. The defendants have filed a notice of the automatic stay as a result of the filing of the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Cases by DISH DBS Corporation, DISH Network L.L.C., Sling TV Holding L.L.C. and Sling TV L.L.C. We intend to vigorously defend this case. In the event that a court ultimately determines that we infringe the asserted patents, we may be subject to substantial damages, which may include treble damages, and/or an injunction that could require us to materially modify certain features that we currently offer to consumers. We cannot predict with any degree of certainty the outcome of the suit or determine the extent of any potential liability or damages. 51 Table of Contents ECHOSTAR CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued (Unaudited) ClearPlay, Inc. On March 13, 2014, ClearPlay, Inc. (“ClearPlay”), filed a complaint against us and our wholly-owned subsidiaries DISH Network and DISH Network L.L.C., and our then wholly-owned subsidiary EchoStar Technologies L.L.C., in the United States District Court for the District of Utah. The complaint alleges willful infringement of United States Patent No. 6,898,799 (the “799 patent”), entitled “Multimedia Content Navigation and Playback”; United States Patent No. 7,526,784 (the “784 patent”), entitled “Delivery of Navigation Data for Playback of Audio and Video Content”; United States Patent No. 7,543,318 (the “318 patent”), entitled “Delivery of Navigation Data for Playback of Audio and Video Content”; United States Patent No. 7,577,970 (the “970 patent”), entitled “Multimedia Content Navigation and Playback”; and United States Patent No. 8,117,282 (the “282 patent”), entitled “Media Player Configured to Receive Playback Filters From Alternative Storage Mediums.” ClearPlay alleges that the AutoHop™ feature of our Hopper® set-top boxes infringes the asserted patents. On February 11, 2015, the case was stayed pending various third-party challenges before the United States Patent and Trademark Office regarding the validity of certain of the patents asserted in the action. In those third-party challenges, the United States Patent and Trademark Office found that all claims of the 282 patent are unpatentable, and that certain claims of the 784 patent and 318 patent are unpatentable. ClearPlay appealed as to the 784 patent and the 318 patent, and on August 23, 2016, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the findings of the United States Patent and Trademark Office. On October 31, 2016, the stay was lifted, and in May 2017, ClearPlay agreed to dismiss us and DISH Network as defendants, leaving DISH Network L.L.C. and DISH Technologies L.L.C. as the sole defendants. In October and November 2020, DISH Network L.L.C. filed petitions with the United States Patent and Trademark Office requesting ex parte reexamination of the validity of the asserted claims of, respectively, the 784 patent, the 799 patent, the 318 patent and the 970 patent; and in November and December, 2020, the United States Patent and Trademark Office granted each request for reexamination. On May through July 2021, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued Ex Parte Reexamination Certificates confirming the patentability of the challenged claims. In October and November 2021, DISH Network L.L.C. filed petitions with the United States Patent and Trademark Office requesting ex parte reexamination of the validity of certain asserted claims of the 784 patent, the 799 patent and the 970 patent. In November and December, 2021, the United States Patent and Trademark Office granted review of the challenged claims of the 799 patent and the 970 patent, but denied review of the challenged claims of the 784 patent. On January 24, 2022, an examiner of the United States Patent and Trademark Office affirmed the challenged claims of the 799 patent, and on January 19, 2023, an examiner of the United States Patent and Trademark Office affirmed the challenged claims of the 970 patent. In an order dated January 31, 2023, the Court granted in part and denied in part DISH Network L.L.C.’s and DISH Technologies L.L.C.’s motion for summary judgment. Thereafter, ClearPlay narrowed its case to three asserted claims: one under the 799 patent and two under the 970 patent. Following a two-week trial, on March 10, 2023, the jury returned a verdict that DISH Network L.L.C. and DISH Technologies L.L.C. infringed each of the asserted patent claims (though not willfully), and awarded damages of $ 469 million. That verdict became moot on March 21, 2023, when the trial court indicated that it would grant DISH Network L.L.C.’s and DISH Technologies L.L.C.’s motion for judgment as a matter of law, thus effectively vacating the jury award. On June 2, 2023, the Court entered its formal order granting judgment as a matter of law. On December 12, 2023, the Court denied ClearPlay’s motion to alter or amend the judgment. On December 12, 2023, the Court denied ClearPlay’s motion to alter or amend the judgment. ClearPlay appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, but on May 26, 2026, it affirmed the judgment in favor of the DISH defendants. Post-opinion proceedings at the Federal Circuit have been stayed as a result of the filing of the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Cases by DISH Network L.L.C. 52 Table of Contents ECHOSTAR CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued (Unaudited) We intend to vigorously defend this case.

On June 21, 2023, the Court granted the motion of DISH Network L.L.C. and DISH Technologies L.L.C. to have the case transferred to the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. In May 2023, DISH Network L.L.C. and DISH Technologies L.L.C. filed petitions with the United States Patent and Trademark Office challenging the validity of all claims of the 710 patent and the 122 patent and, on December 9, 2024, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued final written decisions invalidating 38 of the 39 challenged claims. Digital Broadcasting Solutions appealed those final written decisions, and DISH Network L.L.C. and DISH Technologies L.L.C. cross-appealed as to the single patent claim that wasn’t invalidated. Briefing was completed on October 17, 2025. DISH Network L.L.C. and DISH Technologies L.L.C. have filed a notice of the automatic stay as a result of the filing of the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Cases. The underlying federal court case has been stayed since May 9, 2024, pending resolution of the petitions before the United States Patent and Trademark Office and any related appeals.

A companion case against DirecTV was also ordered transferred to the United States District Court for the Central District of California. In January and February of 2023, DISH Network L.L.C. and Dish Network Service L.L.C. filed petitions with the United States Patent and Trademark Office challenging the validity of all claims of the 715 patent, all claims of the 008 patent, and 25 claims of the 576 patent, which includes all of its asserted claims. In August and September 2023, the Patent Office denied institution on the petitions challenging the 715 patent and the 576 patent. In September 2023, at the parties’ joint request, the Patent Office dismissed the petition challenging the 008 patent, as Entropic agreed to drop its claims against DISH Network on that patent. On July 12, 2024, the United States Patent and Trademark Office granted a request for reexamination of the 715 patent, but on May 20, 2025, it affirmed the patent’s validity. Entropic’s expert claims that the DISH defendants owe damages of $ 212 million. In light of the filing of the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Cases by DISH Network L.L.C. and DISH Technologies L.L.C., the Court has stayed the case. We intend to vigorously defend this case.

On February 24, 2025, the Court granted other defendants’ motions to dismiss the claims arising from the 213 patent, the 422 patent, the 681 patent and the 802 patent on the grounds that they claimed in eligible subject matter.

State of São Paulo Treasury Department On December 12, 2019, Hughes Telecomunicações do Brasil (“HTB”) filed a tax annulment claim in the Judicial Court of São Paulo, claiming that a tax assessment from the State Treasury of São Paulo, for the period from January 2013 to December 2014, was based on an erroneous interpretation of an exemption to the ICMS (a state tax on, among other things, communications). In June 2022, a judicial expert determined that HTB’s interpretation of the exemption was correct. Nonetheless, in July 2023, the Court entered judgment against HTB, and in October 2023, rejected HTB’s request for clarification. In November 2023, HTB filed an appeal to the Court of Justice, but on February 25, 2025, the Court of Justice ruled against HTB. On March 14, 2025, HTB filed a motion seeking clarification, but that motion was denied on October 24, 2025. HTB has filed a new motion for clarification. HTB reached a settlement with the Treasury under which it will have up to 48 months to pay approximately 44 million Brazilian Reals (USD $ 8.2 million) to the State Treasury of São Paulo, of which 75 % may be satisfied with “precatórios,” which are court ordered obligations issued by the Brazilian government (federal, state or municipal) that are officially recognized and tradeable instruments. This matter is now concluded. Jones 401(k) Litigation On December 20, 2021, four former employees filed a class action complaint in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado against our wholly-owned subsidiary DISH Network, its Board of Directors, and its Retirement Plan Committee alleging fiduciary breaches arising from the management of our 401(k) Plan. The putative class, comprised of all participants in the Plan on or after January 20, 2016, alleges that the Plan had excessive recordkeeping and administrative expenses and that it maintained underperforming funds. On February 1, 2023, a Magistrate Judge issued a recommendation that the defendants’ motion to dismiss the complaint be granted, and on March 27, 2023, the district court judge granted the motion. As permitted by the Court’s order, the plaintiffs filed an amended complaint on April 10, 2023, which is limited to allegations regarding the retention and alleged underperformance of the Fidelity Freedom Funds. On November 7, 2023, a Magistrate Judge issued a recommendation that the defendants’ motion to dismiss the amended complaint be denied as to the duty to prudently monitor fund performance, but be granted as to the duty of loyalty and, on November 27, 2023, the district court judge entered an order adopting the recommendation. On March 1, 2024, by stipulation, the plaintiffs dismissed their claims against the Board of Directors and the Retirement Plan Committee, leaving DISH Network as the sole defendant. On April 30, 2024, pursuant to the parties’ stipulation, the Court certified the proposed plaintiff class. Pursuant to the parties’ stipulation, the case was stayed from October 30, 2024 through May 29, 2025 to facilitate a mediation, but the parties did not reach a settlement. On July 23, 2026, the Court denied DISH Network’s motion for summary judgment. The plaintiffs’ expert claims damages of $ 16.7 million, which is reduced to $ 10.7 million when Fidelity revenue sharing is credited. We intend to vigorously defend this case. We cannot predict with any degree of certainty the outcome of the suit or determine the extent of any potential liability or damages. 57 Table of Contents ECHOSTAR CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued (Unaudited) Lingam Securities Class Action (formerly Jaramillo) On March 23, 2023, a securities fraud class action complaint was filed against our wholly-owned subsidiary DISH Network and Messrs. Ergen, Carlson and Orban in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. The complaint was brought on behalf of a putative class of purchasers of our securities during the February 22, 2021 to February 27, 2023 class period. In general, the complaint alleged that DISH Network’s public statements during that period were false and misleading and contained material omissions, because they did not disclose that DISH Network allegedly maintained a deficient cybersecurity and information technology infrastructure, were unable to properly secure customer data and DISH Network’s operations were susceptible to widespread service outages. In August 2023, the Court appointed a new lead plaintiff and lead plaintiff’s counsel, and, on October 20, 2023, they filed a First Amended Complaint that abandoned the original allegations. In their First Amended Complaint, plaintiffs alleged that, during the class period, the defendants concealed problems concerning the 5G network build-out that prevented scaling and commercializing the network to obtain enterprise customers. The amended complaint added as individual defendants James S. Allen, DISH Network’s Senior Vice President and Chief Accounting Officer; John Swieringa, our President, Technology and Chief Operating Officer; Dave Mayo, DISH Network’s former Executive Vice President of Network Development; Marc Rouanne, DISH Network’s former Executive Vice President and Chief Network Officer; and Stephen Bye, DISH Network’s former Executive Vice President and Chief Commercial Officer. After the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the First Amended Complaint, the plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Complaint, asserting the same theory, on February 23, 2024. The new complaint drops Erik Carlson, John Swieringa, Paul Orban and James Allen as individual defendants. The defendants filed a motion to dismiss the Second Amended Complaint, and on March 20, 2025, the Court granted the motion without granting plaintiffs permission to further amend. The plaintiffs appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit, and on February 17, 2026, that court unanimously affirmed the trial court’s dismissal. This matter is now concluded. NewSpace India Limited In October 2025, NewSpace India Limited (“NSIL”) sued our majority-owned subsidiary Hughes Communications India Private Limited (“HCIPL”), claiming that HCIPL unlawfully terminated the parties’ agreement for HCIPL to take capacity on the GSAT 20 satellite. HCIPL had terminated the parties’ agreement on December 6, 2024, citing, among other reasons, NSIL’s failure to meet the contractual provision for a timely launch. NSIL seeks a declaration that HCIPL’s termination was premature and void, a temporary and permanent injunction restraining HCIPL from terminating or breaching the agreement, and damages of approximately 10.6 billion Indian Rupees (USD $ 117 million). The Court entered an ex parte interim injunction requiring HCIPL to maintain assets equal to the amount at issue. We intend to vigorously defend this case. We cannot predict with any degree of certainty the outcome of the suit. 58 Table of Contents ECHOSTAR CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued (Unaudited) Sling Pass Litigation On August 26, 2025, ESPN Enterprises, Inc. and other Disney affiliates (“Disney”) sued our wholly-owned subsidiary DISH Network L.L.C. in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. Disney contends that Sling TV’s Day Pass, Weekend Pass and Week Pass subscriptions breach its carriage agreement with DISH Network. Disney sought a preliminary injunction to enjoin the Passes, but the Court denied its motion on November 17, 2025. Disney filed an amended complaint on December 19, 2025, adding a claim for breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, and allegations of using Disney marks to advertise the passes over Disney’s objection and for interest on late payments. DISH Network L.L.C. has asserted antitrust and breach of contract counterclaims against Disney. The case has been stayed in light of the filing of the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Cases by DISH Network L.L.C. We intend to vigorously defend these cases. We cannot predict with any degree of certainty the outcome of the suit or determine the extent of any potential liability or damages. Sound View Innovations, LLC On December 30, 2019, Sound View Innovations, LLC filed one complaint against our wholly-owned subsidiaries DISH Network L.L.C. and DISH Technologies L.L.C. and a second complaint against our wholly-owned subsidiary Sling TV L.L.C. in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado.

On January 19, 2021, the United States Patent and Trademark Office agreed to institute proceedings on the 456 patent but declined to review the 133 patent. On February 24, 2021, the United States Patent and Trademark Office agreed to institute proceedings on the 796 patent. On January 18, 2022, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued a final written decision holding that the challenged claim of the 456 patent is patentable, and on February 8, 2022, it issued a final written decision holding that the challenged claims of the 796 patent are patentable. On March 22, 2022, DISH Network L.L.C., DISH Technologies L.L.C. and Sling TV L.L.C. filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit from the adverse final written decision regarding the 456 patent, and on April 8, 2022, they filed a notice of appeal to the same court from the adverse final written decision regarding the 796 patent. The appeal on the 456 patent was voluntarily dismissed on December 6, 2022 after our supplier took a license to the database patents — the 456 patent and the 133 patent. The Federal Circuit heard oral argument on the 796 patent appeal on October 3, 2023, and affirmed the United States Patent and Trademark Office’s adverse final written decision on October 5, 2023. 59 Table of Contents ECHOSTAR CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued (Unaudited) On April 20, 2022, DISH Network L.L.C., DISH Technologies L.L.C. and Sling TV L.L.C. filed a petition with the United States Patent and Trademark Office requesting ex parte reexamination of the validity of one of the asserted claims of the 213 patent, and reexamination was ordered on June 16, 2022. On November 13, 2023, the United States Patent and Trademark Office confirmed the patentability of the challenged claim. On January 18, 2023, DISH Network L.L.C., DISH Technologies L.L.C. and Sling TV L.L.C. filed a second petition requesting ex parte reexamination of the validity of the four other asserted claims of the 213 patent, reexamination was ordered on April 17, 2023, but on April 3, 2026, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued a reexamination certificate confirming the patentability of the challenged claims. Thus, all invalidity challenges at the United States Patent and Trademark Office have been resolved, and the two asserted CDN patents remain intact and unlicensed. On October 17, 2024, the Court ordered that the stay of the case, which had been entered for the pendency of the original petitions before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, would remain in place pending the resolution of Sound View’s appeal in a parallel action asserting the 213 patent against Hulu. The United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit issued its opinion in the parallel Hulu matter on January 29, 2026. We intend to vigorously defend these cases. In the event that a court ultimately determines that we infringe the asserted patents, we may be subject to substantial damages, which may include treble damages, and/or an injunction that could require us to materially modify certain features that we currently offer to consumers. We cannot predict with any degree of certainty the outcome of the suit or determine the extent of any potential liability or damages. A notice of the automatic stay as to DISH Network L.L.C., DISH Technologies L.L.C. and Sling TV L.L.C. has been filed. State of Illinois ex rel. Rodriguez In March 2020, two private “relators” filed this case in the Circuit Court of Cook County Illinois, County Department, Law Division, under the Illinois False Claims Act against DISH Wireless, Sprint and more than 60 Boost Mobile retailers in Illinois. The defendants only became aware of the lawsuit after it was unsealed in March 2022. The operative Second Amended Complaint alleges that the retailer defendants should have collected sales tax under the Retailers’ Occupation Tax Act on any amounts that Sprint or DISH Network rebated them to facilitate handset price discounts to Illinois consumers (“Prepaid Phone Rebates”) and on any phone activation fees the retailers charged to customers (“Device Setup Charges”). It further alleges that DISH Wireless and Sprint are liable for the alleged violations arising from the Device Setup Charges because of the way they allegedly managed the point-of-sale system that the retailer defendants used. The Plaintiffs seek to recover triple the amount of allegedly unpaid taxes, fines for each alleged violation, and attorneys’ fees and costs. On June 13, 2023, the Court denied the defendants’ motions to dismiss the complaint, but on January 2, 2024, it granted reconsideration and dismissed the complaint as to DISH Wireless and Sprint, with leave to amend. The Plaintiffs filed a Third Amended Complaint on February 2, 2024. On September 20, 2024, the Court granted DISH Wireless’s and Sprint’s motion to dismiss the Third Amended Complaint, without further leave to amend, but the case is continuing against the retailers. DISH Wireless has filed a notice of the automatic stay resulting from its filing of the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Cases. We intend to vigorously defend this case. We cannot predict with any degree of certainty the outcome of the suit or determine the extent of any potential liability or damages. 60 Table of Contents ECHOSTAR CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued (Unaudited) State of New York ex rel. Rodriguez In March 2020, the same two private “relators” filed a second case against DISH Wireless, SPRINT and T-Mobile in the Supreme Court of New York for New York County, under the New York False Claims Act. The defendants only became aware of the lawsuit when it was unsealed in May 2026. As in the Illinois action, the operative Third Amended Complaint alleges that the defendants knowingly causing authorized Boost Mobile retailers to make false records and statements regarding sales taxes on Device Setup Charges because of the way they allegedly managed the point-of-sale system that the retailers used. The Plaintiffs seek to recover triple the amount of allegedly unpaid taxes, penalties, attorneys’ fees and costs. DISH Wireless has filed a notice of the automatic stay resulting from its bankruptcy filing. We intend to vigorously defend this case. We cannot predict with any degree of certainty the outcome of the suit or determine the extent of any potential liability or damages. TQ Delta, LLC On July 17, 2015, TQ Delta, LLC (“TQ Delta”) filed a complaint against our wholly-owned subsidiaries DISH Network, DISH DBS Corporation and DISH Network L.L.C. in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware. The plaintiff is an entity that seeks to license a patent portfolio without itself practicing any of the claims recited therein. The Complaint alleges infringement of United States Patent No. 6,961,369 (the “369 patent”), which is entitled “System and Method for Scrambling the Phase of the Carriers in a Multicarrier Communications System”; United States Patent No. 8,718,158 (the “158 patent”), which is entitled “System and Method for Scrambling the Phase of the Carriers in a Multicarrier Communications System”; United States Patent No. 9,014,243 (the “243 patent”), which is entitled “System and Method for Scrambling Using a Bit Scrambler and a Phase Scrambler”; United States Patent No.7,835,430 (the “430 patent”), which is entitled “Multicarrier Modulation Messaging for Frequency Domain Received Idle Channel Noise Information”; United States Patent No. 8,238,412 (the “412 patent”), which is entitled “Multicarrier Modulation Messaging for Power Level per Subchannel Information”; United States Patent No. 8,432,956 (the “956 patent”), which is entitled “Multicarrier Modulation Messaging for Power Level per Subchannel Information”; and United States Patent No. 8,611,404 (the “404 patent”), which is entitled “Multicarrier Transmission System with Low Power Sleep Mode and Rapid-On Capability.” On September 9, 2015, TQ Delta filed a first amended complaint that added allegations of infringement of United States Patent No. 9,094,268 (the “268 patent”), which is entitled “Multicarrier Transmission System With Low Power Sleep Mode and Rapid-On Capability.” On May 16, 2016, TQ Delta filed a second amended complaint that added us, and our then wholly-owned subsidiary EchoStar Technologies L.L.C. as defendants. TQ Delta alleges that our satellite TV service, Internet service, set-top boxes, gateways, routers, modems, adapters and networks that operate in accordance with one or more Multimedia over Coax Alliance Standards infringe the asserted patents. TQ Delta has filed actions in the same court alleging infringement of the same patents against Comcast Corp., Cox Communications, Inc., DirecTV, Time Warner Cable Inc. and Verizon Communications, Inc. On July 14, 2016, TQ Delta stipulated to dismiss with prejudice all claims related to the 369 patent and the 956 patent. On July 20, 2016, DISH Network filed petitions with the United States Patent and Trademark Office challenging the validity of all of the patent claims of the 404 patent and the 268 patent that have been asserted against DISH Network. Third parties filed petitions with the United States Patent and Trademark Office challenging the validity of all of the patent claims that have been asserted against us in the action. 61 Table of Contents ECHOSTAR CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued (Unaudited) On November 4, 2016, the United States Patent and Trademark Office agreed to institute proceedings on the third-party petitions related to the 158 patent, the 243 patent, the 412 patent and the 430 patent. On December 20, 2016, pursuant to a stipulation of the parties, the Court stayed the case until the resolution of all petitions to the United States Patent and Trademark Office challenging the validity of all of the patent claims at issue. On January 19, 2017, the United States Patent and Trademark Office granted DISH Network’s motions to join the instituted petitions on the 430 and 158 patents. On February 9, 2017, the United States Patent and Trademark Office agreed to institute proceedings on DISH Network’s petition related to the 404 patent, and on February 13, 2017, the United States Patent and Trademark Office agreed to institute proceedings on our petition related to the 268 patent. On February 27, 2017, the United States Patent and Trademark Office granted DISH Network’s motions to join the instituted petitions on the 243 and 412 patents. On October 26, 2017, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued final written decisions on the petitions challenging the 158 patent, the 243 patent, the 412 patent and the 430 patent, and it invalidated all of the asserted claims of those patents. On February 7, 2018, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued final written decisions on the petitions challenging the 404 patent, and it invalidated all of the asserted claims of that patent on the basis of DISH Network’s petition. On February 10, 2018, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued a final written decision on DISH Network’s petition challenging the 268 patent, and it invalidated all of the asserted claims. On March 12, 2018, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued a final written decision on a third-party petition challenging the 268 patent, and it invalidated all of the asserted claims. TQ Delta filed notices of appeal from the final written decisions adverse to it. On May 9, 2019, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the invalidity of the 430 patent and the 412 patent. On July 10, 2019, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the invalidity of the asserted claims of the 404 patent. On July 15, 2019, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit affirmed the invalidity of the asserted claims of the 268 patent. On November 22, 2019, the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit reversed the invalidity finding on the 243 patent and the 158 patent, and then, on March 29, 2020, denied a petition for panel rehearing as to those findings. On April 13, 2021, the Court lifted the stay, and the case is proceeding on the 243 patent and the 158 patent. On April 23 and April 26, 2021, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued orders granting requests for ex parte reexamination of, respectively, the 243 patent and the 158 patent, but on July 27, 2023 and October 11, 2023, respectively, the United States Patent and Trademark Office confirmed the challenged claims of the 243 patent and the 158 patent. In a proposed supplemental report, TQ Delta’s damages expert contends that TQ Delta is entitled to $ 251 million in damages. The Court has set a trial date of November 8, 2027. A notice of the automatic stay as to DISH Network L.L.C. has been filed. We intend to vigorously defend this case. In the event that a court ultimately determines that we infringe the asserted patents, we may be subject to substantial damages, which may include treble damages, and/or an injunction that could require us to materially modify certain features that we currently offer to consumers. We cannot predict with any degree of certainty the outcome of the suit or determine the extent of any potential liability or damages. 62 Table of Contents ECHOSTAR CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued (Unaudited) Uniloc 2017 LLC On January 31, 2019, Uniloc 2017 LLC (“Uniloc”) filed a complaint against our wholly-owned subsidiary Sling TV L.L.C. in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado. The plaintiff is an entity that seeks to license a patent portfolio without itself practicing any of the claims recited therein. The Complaint alleges infringement of United States Patent No. 6,519,005 (the “005 patent”), which is entitled “Method of Concurrent Multiple-Mode Motion Estimation for Digital Video”; United States Patent No. 6,895,118 (the “118 patent”), which is entitled “Method of Coding Digital Image Based on Error Concealment”; United States Patent No. 9,721,273 (the “273 patent”), which is entitled “System and Method for Aggregating and Providing Audio and Visual Presentations Via a Computer Network”); and United States Patent No. 8,407,609 (the “609 patent”), which is entitled “System and Method for Providing and Tracking the Provision of Audio and Visual Presentations Via a Computer Network.” On June 25, 2019, Sling TV L.L.C. filed a petition with the United States Patent and Trademark Office challenging the validity of all of the asserted claims of the 005 patent. On July 19, 2019 and July 22, 2019, respectively, Sling TV L.L.C. filed petitions with the United States Patent and Trademark Office challenging the validity of all asserted claims of the 273 patent and the 609 patent. On August 12, 2019, Sling TV L.L.C. filed a petition with the United States Patent and Trademark Office challenging the validity of all of the asserted claims of the 118 patent. On October 18, 2019, pursuant to a stipulation of the parties, the Court entered a stay of the trial proceedings. On January 9, 2020, the United States Patent and Trademark Office agreed to institute proceedings on the petition challenging the 005 patent. On January 15, 2020, the United States Patent and Trademark Office agreed to institute proceedings on the petition challenging the 273 patent. On February 4, 2020, the United States Patent and Trademark Office agreed to institute proceedings on the petition challenging the 609 patent. On February 25, 2020, the United States Patent and Trademark Office declined to institute proceedings on the petition challenging the 118 patent. On December 28, 2020, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued a final written decision upholding the validity of the challenged claims of the 273 patent. Sling TV L.L.C. appealed that decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and on February 2, 2022, the Federal Circuit vacated the final written decision and remanded to the United States Patent and Trademark Office to reconsider its ruling. On remand, on September 7, 2022, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued a revised final written decision finding all challenged claims of the 273 patent invalid. Uniloc filed a notice of appeal of that revised final written decision to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, and on September 4, 2024, that court affirmed the United States Patent and Trademark Office’s invalidity finding. On January 5, 2021, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued a final written decision invalidating all challenged claims of the 005 patent. On January 19, 2021, the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued a final written decision invalidating all challenged claims of the 609 patent (and a second final written decision invalidating all challenged claims of the 609 patent based on a third party’s petition). Uniloc did not appeal those decisions. Thus, the sole remaining asserted patent is the 118 patent. 63 Table of Contents ECHOSTAR CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued (Unaudited) We intend to vigorously defend this case. In the event that a court ultimately determines that we infringe the asserted patents, we may be subject to substantial damages, which may include treble damages, and/or an injunction that could require us to materially modify certain features that we currently offer to consumers. We cannot predict with any degree of certainty the outcome of the suit or determine the extent of any potential liability or damages. Universal Service Administrative Company On April 3, 2023, the Universal Service Administrative Company (“USAC”) notified our wholly-owned subsidiary DISH Wireless that it intended to seek to recover funds in the amount of $ 13.9 million disbursed under the Emergency Broadband Benefit Program (“EBBP”) and Affordable Connectivity Program (“ACP”) rules. We appealed this action and the USAC denied our appeal in October 2023. We appealed USAC's action to the FCC's Wireline Competition Bureau, which denied our appeal on January 17, 2025. On May 5, 2026, DISH Wireless entered into a settlement with the United States to resolve these claims. This matter is now concluded. U.S. Bank Trust Company On April 26, 2024, U.S. Bank Trust Company, in its capacity as Trustee under the Indentures for DISH DBS Corporation’s 5 3/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2028 and 7 3/4% Senior Notes due 2026, filed an action in state court in New York City against DISH DBS Corporation, DISH Network L.L.C., EchoStar Intercompany Receivable Company L.L.C., DISH DBS Issuer LLC, and DBS Intercompany Receivable L.L.C. In its original complaint, the Trustee contended that certain intracompany asset transfers in January 2024 breached the Indentures for those Notes, and that the transfers were intentional and constructive fraudulent transfers under the Colorado Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act. The Trustee seeks a declaratory judgment that DISH DBS Corporation breached the Indentures and that an Event of Default occurred under the DBS Indentures. It further asks the Court to unwind certain intracompany asset transfers and to award damages. On May 13, 2024, the defendants removed the case to the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and, on June 28, 2024, filed a motion to dismiss the complaint. Rather than opposing the motion, on July 18, 2024, the Trustee filed a first amended complaint, which added a new declaratory judgment claim challenging certain intercompany advances and new factual allegations challenging a certification of compliance with the DBS Indentures. On January 22, 2025, with permission from the Court, the Trustee filed a second amended complaint, which added allegations regarding the debt issued by DBS SubscriberCo, a related intercompany loan, and the DIRECTV transaction (collectively, the “September 2024 Transactions”). The defendants moved to dismiss the second amended complaint and, on August 21, 2025, the Court granted the motion to dismiss the claims that were based on the September 2024 Transactions but otherwise denied the motion. On March 20, 2026, the parties filed a stipulation to dismiss the lawsuit with prejudice, pursuant to the Restructuring Support Agreement. This matter is now concluded. 64 Table of Contents ECHOSTAR CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued (Unaudited) Vermont National Telephone Company On September 23, 2016, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia unsealed a qui tam complaint that, on May 13, 2015, Vermont National filed against our wholly-owned subsidiaries, DISH Network, American AWS-3 Wireless I L.L.C., American II, American III, and DISH Wireless Holding L.L.C.; Charles W. Ergen (our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer) and Cantey M. Ergen (a member of our Board of Directors); Northstar Wireless; Northstar Spectrum; Northstar Manager; SNR Wireless; SNR HoldCo; SNR Management; and certain other parties. The complaint alleges violations of the federal civil False Claims Act (the “FCA”) based on, among other things, allegations that Northstar Wireless and SNR Wireless falsely claimed bidding credits of 25 % in the AWS-3 Auction when they were allegedly under the de facto control of DISH Network and, therefore, were not entitled to the bidding credits as designated entities under applicable FCC rules. Vermont National participated in the AWS-3 Auction through its wholly-owned subsidiary, VTel Wireless. The complaint was unsealed after the United States Department of Justice notified the District Court that it had declined to intervene in the action. Vermont National seeks to recover on behalf of the United States government approximately $ 10 billion, which reflects the $ 3.3 billion in bidding credits that Northstar Wireless and SNR Wireless claimed in the AWS-3 Auction, trebled under the FCA. Vermont National also seeks civil penalties of not less than $ 5,500 and not more than $ 11,000 for each violation of the FCA. On March 2, 2017, the United States District Court for the District of Columbia entered a stay of the litigation until such time as the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia (the “D.C. Circuit”) issued its opinion in SNR Wireless LicenseCo, LLC, et al. v. F.C.C. The D.C. Circuit issued its opinion on August 29, 2017 and remanded the matter to the FCC for further proceedings. Thereafter, the District Court maintained the stay until October 26, 2018. On February 11, 2019, the District Court granted Vermont National’s unopposed motion for leave to file an amended complaint. On March 28, 2019, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss Vermont National’s amended complaint, and on March 23, 2021, the District Court granted the motion to dismiss. On April 21, 2021, Vermont National filed a notice of appeal to the United States Court of Appeals for the DC Circuit and, on May 17, 2022, that court reversed the District Court’s dismissal of the complaint. On June 16, 2022, the Defendants-Appellees filed a petition for rehearing or rehearing en banc, but on August 17, 2022, that petition was denied. On August 25, 2023, the FCC provided a sworn declaration stating that “the FCC considers … SNR and Northstar to have fully and timely satisfied their obligations to pay money to the Government arising from the AWS-3 Auction.” On that basis, on September 22, 2023, the Defendants filed a motion seeking partial summary judgment of no damages. On September 26, 2023, the Court denied the motion as premature. On March 8, 2024, the United States filed a motion to exercise its statutory prerogative to intervene in the case for the purpose of moving to dismiss it with prejudice, stating that the case is “unlikely to vindicate the United States’ interests and would needlessly expend the Government’s and this Court’s resources.” In a report and recommendation issued on April 7, 2025, a magistrate judge recommended that the government’s motion be granted. Vermont National’s objections to that recommendation have been fully briefed to the Court, as have subsequent motions by Vtel to augment the record and reopen discovery. We intend to vigorously defend this case. We cannot predict with any degree of certainty the outcome of this proceeding or determine the extent of any potential liability or damages. 65 Table of Contents ECHOSTAR CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued (Unaudited) Other In addition to the above actions, we are subject to various other legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business, including, among other things, disputes with programmers regarding fees. In our opinion, the amount of ultimate liability with respect to any of these actions is unlikely to materially affect our financial condition, results of operations or liquidity, though the outcomes could be material to our operating results for any particular period, depending, in part, upon the operating results for such period. 12. Segment Reporting Our reportable segments are strategic business units managed separately based on different business strategies, services and products. Our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) is our Chairman, President and Chief Executive Officer. “OIBDA,” defined as “Operating income (loss)” plus “Depreciation and amortization,” is the primary measure used by our CODM to evaluate segment operating performance. The CODM regularly reviews budget-to-actual variances of OIBDA when evaluating segment performance and allocating resources to each segment. Until June 30, 2026, we operated four primary business segments: (1) Pay-TV; (2) Wireless; (3) Broadband and Satellite Services; and (4) Other. Substantially all of our Pay-TV segment and our Other segment were deconsolidated as of June 30, 2026. The financial positions of the Deconsolidated Subsidiaries are no longer included in our condensed consolidated financial statements subsequent to the deconsolidation date. Our results of operations include the operations of the Deconsolidated Subsidiaries through and including the deconsolidation date of June 30, 2026. See Note 1 and Note 3 for further information. Our Pay-TV segment revenue is primarily derived from Pay-TV subscriber revenue. Our Wireless segment revenue is primarily derived from Wireless subscriber revenue and selling wireless devices to subscribers. Our Broadband and Satellite Services segment revenue is primarily derived from Broadband subscriber revenue, broadband services revenue and communications equipment sales and leases. Our Other segment revenue is primarily derived from intercompany MNO revenue and leased spectrum revenue. All eliminations primarily include intersegment eliminations related to intercompany revenue and the related expense, which are eliminated in consolidation. The CODM is not regularly provided assets on a segment basis; therefore, such information is not presented. The significant expense categories and amounts align with the segment-level information that is regularly provided to the CODM. Intersegment expenses are included within the amounts presented. All prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The revenue, expense, operating income (loss) and OIBDA by segment were as follows: 66 Table of Contents ECHOSTAR CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued (Unaudited) Pay-TV Wireless Broadband and Satellite Services Other Segment Total Eliminations Consolidated Total (In thousands) For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2026 Revenue Revenue from external customers: Service revenue $ 2,203,797 $ 864,450 $ 233,291 $ — $ 3,301,538 $ — $ 3,301,538 Equipment sales and other revenue 42,933 64,553 76,428 90,712 274,626 — 274,626 Intersegment revenue 1,804 20 7,185 836 9,845 ( 9,845 ) — Total revenue 2,248,534 929,023 316,904 91,548 3,586,009 ( 9,845 ) 3,576,164 Operating Expenses Cost of services: Programming 1,030,380 — — — 1,030,380 — 1,030,380 Connectivity services (1) 48,609 323,479 43,400 — 415,488 ( 2,407 ) 413,081 Other (2) 273,653 156,342 53,551 — 483,546 1,144 484,690 Total cost of services 1,352,642 479,821 96,951 — 1,929,414 ( 1,263 ) 1,928,151 Cost of sales - equipment and other 31,934 198,356 53,949 135,684 419,923 ( 953 ) 418,970 Selling, general and administrative expenses: Subscriber acquisition costs 86,205 138,784 26,667 — 251,656 ( 2,280 ) 249,376 Selling, general and administrative expenses 177,097 61,302 39,138 26,993 304,530 ( 6,058 ) 298,472 Total selling, general and administrative expenses 263,302 200,086 65,805 26,993 556,186 ( 8,338 ) 547,848 Impairments and other — — ( 275 ) ( 2,011 ) ( 2,286 ) — ( 2,286 ) OIBDA (3) 600,656 50,760 100,474 ( 69,118 ) 682,772 709 683,481 Depreciation and amortization 58,315 50,857 50,017 11,354 170,543 — 170,543 Total costs and expenses 1,706,193 929,120 266,447 172,020 3,073,780 ( 10,554 ) 3,063,226 Operating income (loss) $ 542,341 $ ( 97 ) $ 50,457 $ ( 80,472 ) $ 512,229 $ 709 512,938 Unallocated Amounts Interest income 40,912 Interest expense, net of amounts capitalized ( 509,146 ) Deconsolidation gain 9,728,958 Other, net 16,452 Income (loss) before income taxes $ 9,790,114 (1) “Connectivity services” is the cost to deliver our services and products to customers, which includes, among other things, network, data, satellite and transmission and other related costs.

We believe this measure is useful to management, investors and other users of our financial information in evaluating operating profitability of our business segments on a more variable cost basis as it excludes the depreciation and amortization expenses related primarily to capital expenditures and acquisitions for those business segments, as well as in evaluating operating performance in relation to our competitors. 67 Table of Contents ECHOSTAR CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued (Unaudited) Pay-TV Wireless Broadband and Satellite Services Other Segment Total Eliminations Consolidated Total (In thousands) For the Three Months Ended June 30, 2025 Revenue Revenue from external customers: Service revenue $ 2,444,851 $ 823,721 $ 271,535 $ — $ 3,540,107 $ — $ 3,540,107 Equipment sales and other revenue 13,638 108,082 60,567 2,565 184,852 — 184,852 Intersegment revenue 3,760 — 7,678 69,311 80,749 ( 80,749 ) — Total revenue 2,462,249 931,803 339,780 71,876 3,805,708 ( 80,749 ) 3,724,959 Operating Expenses Cost of services: Programming 1,179,987 — — — 1,179,987 — 1,179,987 Connectivity services 52,652 332,661 50,180 357,087 792,580 ( 55,382 ) 737,198 Other 316,332 164,501 65,052 — 545,885 ( 1,439 ) 544,446 Total cost of services 1,548,971 497,162 115,232 357,087 2,518,452 ( 56,821 ) 2,461,631 Cost of sales -

(2) Our allowance for credit losses for trade accounts receivable for our Other segment is immaterial and therefore included in the Wireless segment in the table above. Contract assets arise when we recognize revenue for providing a service in advance of billing our customers. Our contract assets typically relate to our long-term contracts where we recognize revenue using the cost-based input method and the revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer. Our contract assets also include receivables related to sales-type leases recognized over the lease term as the customer is billed. Contract assets are amortized as the customer is billed for services. Contract assets are recorded in “Trade accounts receivable, net” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. 72 Table of Contents ECHOSTAR CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued (Unaudited) The following table summarizes our contract asset balances: As of June 30, December 31, 2026 2025 (In thousands) Contract assets $ 113,912 $ 138,723 Contract liabilities arise when we bill our customers and receive consideration in advance of providing the service. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when the service has been provided to the customer. Contract liabilities are recorded in “Deferred revenue and other” and “Long-term deferred revenue and other long-term liabilities” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following table summarizes our contract liability balances: As of June 30, December 31, 2026 2025 (In thousands) Contract liabilities (1) $ 227,656 $ 607,970 (1) The June 30, 2026 decreases primarily resulted from the Deconsolidated Subsidiaries. See Note 3 for further information. Our beginning of period contract liability recorded as customer contract revenue during 2026 was $ 561 million. Performance Obligations Pay-TV and Wireless Segments We apply a practical expedient and do not disclose the value of the remaining performance obligations for contracts that are less than one year in duration, which represent a substantial majority of our revenue. As such, the amount of revenue related to unsatisfied performance obligations is not necessarily indicative of our future revenue. Broadband and Satellite Services Segment As of June 30, 2026, the remaining performance obligations for our customer contracts was approximately $ 1.3 billion. Performance obligations expected to be satisfied within one year and greater than one year are 29 % and 71 %, respectively. This amount and percentages exclude leasing arrangements and agreements with consumer customers. 73 Table of Contents ECHOSTAR CORPORATION NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS – Continued (Unaudited) Contract Acquisition Costs The following table presents the activity in our contract acquisition costs, net: For the Three Months Ended For the Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2026 2025 2026 2025 (In thousands) Balance, beginning of period $ 246,356 $ 280,984 $ 261,946 $ 289,200 Additions 46,218 68,519 90,022 125,116 Amortization expense ( 57,480 ) ( 67,623 ) ( 117,122 ) ( 132,842 ) Foreign currency translation 101 367 349 773 Deconsolidated Subsidiaries ( 126,994 ) — ( 126,994 ) — Balance, end of period $ 108,201 $ 282,247 $ 108,201 $ 282,247 14.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS You should read the following Management’s Discussion and Analysis of our Financial Condition and Results of Operations together with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes to our financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. This management’s discussion and analysis is intended to help provide an understanding of our financial condition, changes in financial condition and results of our operations and contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. The forward-looking statements are not historical facts, but rather are based on current expectations, estimates, assumptions and projections about our industry, business and future financial results. Our actual results could differ materially from the results contemplated by these forward-looking statements due to a number of factors, including those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025 and this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under the caption “Item 1A. Risk Factors.” Furthermore, such forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and we expressly disclaim any obligation to update any forward-looking statements. Overview Recent Developments AT&T License Purchase Agreement On August 25, 2025, we and AT&T Mobility II LLC, a Delaware limited liability company, and subsidiary of AT&T Inc. (“AT&T”) entered into a License Purchase Agreement (the “AT&T License Purchase Agreement,” and the transactions contemplated thereby, the “AT&T Transactions”). Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the AT&T License Purchase Agreement, we have agreed to sell all our 3.45–3.55 GHz and 600 MHz spectrum licenses (collectively, the “3.45 GHz and 600 MHz Licenses”), and to a 99-year extension of existing leases for AT&T’s exclusive use of certain wireless spectrum licenses in Hawaii for proceeds of $20.250 billion in cash. The AT&T License Purchase Agreement also extends to AT&T the right to lease certain 3.45 GHz licenses from us, which AT&T exercised, subject to a short-term spectrum manager lease, at the end of the third quarter of 2025. The AT&T License Purchase Agreement provides that, at the closing of the AT&T Transactions, any amounts outstanding under that certain Loan and Security Agreement, dated November 26, 2021, between DISH DBS as lender and DISH Network will be repaid in full using proceeds from the AT&T Transactions to the respective holders of the DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan (the “DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan Payoff”). As of June 30, 2026, the DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan Payoff includes $2.844 billion due to DISH DBS for the DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan 2028 Tranche and $4.767 billion due to us for the DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan 2026 Tranche. The DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan is secured by the 3.45 GHz Licenses and certain other wireless spectrum licenses. See Note 10 in the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for definitions and further information. In addition, all outstanding 11 3/4% Senior Secured Notes due November 15, 2027 issued pursuant to that certain Secured Indenture, dated November 15, 2022 (“DISH Secured Indenture”), by and among DISH Network Corporation, the Guarantors identified therein, and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent, will be redeemed concurrently with the closing in accordance with the terms of the DISH Secured Indenture (the “Redemption”). As of June 30, 2026, the aggregate principal amount outstanding of our 11 3/4% Senior Secured Notes due November 15, 2027 was $3.5 billion and is secured by the 600 MHz Licenses. 76 Table of Contents Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – Continued AT&T Transactions Closing Updates On May 12, 2026, the AT&T Transactions received regulatory approvals from both the Federal Communications Commission (“FCC”) and the United States Department of Justice (the “DOJ”) . Upon receipt of the regulatory approvals, the 3.45 GHz and 600 MHz Licenses held in our Other segment were reclassified from noncurrent assets “Regulatory authorizations, including restricted, net” to current assets “Regulatory authorizations held for sale, net” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2026. On July 28, 2026, we and AT&T completed the closing of the AT&T Transactions (the “AT&T Closing”), pursuant to which we sold all our 3.45 GHz and 600 MHz Licenses and entered into a 99-year extension of existing leases for AT&T’s exclusive use of certain wireless spectrum licenses in Hawaii. In connection with the AT&T Closing, we received proceeds of $20.250 billion in cash from AT&T and AT&T directly remitted $2.4 billion into the mandated Wireless Creditor Trust (as defined below). Concurrently with the AT&T Closing, approximately $2.844 billion outstanding under the DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan 2028 Tranche due to DISH DBS was satisfied in full by DISH Network. The DISH DBS Deconsolidated Subsidiaries used these proceeds to fully repay the aggregate principal balance of $2.0 billion for the DISH DBS 7 3/4% Senior Notes due on July 1, 2026. The repayment in full for the DISH DBS 7 3/4% Senior Notes due on July 1, 2026 and the discharge of the related Indenture obligations were authorized by the Bankruptcy Court presiding over the DISH DBS Filing Entities’ pending restructuring proceedings. In addition, the aggregate principal balance of $3.5 billion for the DISH Network 11 3/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2027 were redeemed in full. Furthermore, on July 28, 2026, we contributed our receivable for the DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan 2026 Tranche to DISH Network. As a result of this contribution, the $4.767 billion outstanding balance of the DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan 2026 Tranche including interest paid in kind was extinguished. As a condition of the FCC’s regulatory approval of the AT&T Transactions, the FCC mandated the establishment of a trust fund in the amount of $2.4 billion (the “Wireless Creditor Trust”). The Wireless Creditor Trust is managed by a FCC approved third-party trustee and used to pay obligations to persons or entities that may obtain a final judgment, arbitration award or settlement for amounts due in connection with the construction, operation, maintenance, decommissioning and provisioning of goods or services related to communications sites and the communications network associated with the 3.45 GHz and 600 MHz Licenses being sold in the AT&T Transactions. The description of the AT&T License Purchase Agreement is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the License Purchase Agreement filed as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. SpaceX License Purchase Agreement On September 7, 2025, we, Space Exploration Technologies Corp., a Texas corporation (“SpaceX”), and Spectrum Business Trust 2025-1, a Nevada Business Trust (“Trust”), entered into a License Purchase Agreement (the “SpaceX License Purchase Agreement,” and the transactions contemplated thereby, the “Initial SpaceX Transactions”). Pursuant to the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the SpaceX License Purchase Agreement, we agreed to sell to SpaceX our rights and licenses related to an aggregate of 50 MHz of spectrum in frequency ranges 2000–2020, 2180–2200, 1915–1920 and 1995– 2000 (the “AWS-4 and H-Block Licenses” and such spectrum, “the Spectrum”) granted by the FCC, together with certain international authorizations, filings, concessions, licenses, rights and priorities related to that spectrum and certain assets associated therewith (collectively, the “Foreign Assets”). 77 Table of Contents Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – Continued The transfer of the AWS-4 and H-Block Licenses consists of two steps: first, the AWS-4 and H-Block Licenses were transferred by us to the Trust (the “Spectrum Transfer Closing”), and second, the AWS-4 and H-Block Licenses will be transferred by the Trust to SpaceX (the “Spectrum Acquisition Closing”). The Foreign Assets will be transferred directly to SpaceX at the Spectrum Acquisition Closing, to the extent the required regulatory approvals have been obtained by such date; provided, however, that the failure to obtain such approvals will not delay or prevent the Spectrum Acquisition Closing. The consideration for the Initial SpaceX Transactions payable at the Spectrum Acquisition Closing is $17 billion (the “Total Consideration Amount”). A portion of the Total Consideration Amount (such amount, the “Total Payoff Consideration Amount”) will be used to: (i) fully pay off all outstanding amounts owed on the 10 3/4% Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (the “10 3/4% Secured Notes”) and the 6 3/4% Senior Secured due 2030 (the “6 3/4% Secured Notes”) and (ii) settle the anticipated redemption and conversions of the 3 7/8% Convertible Secured Notes due 2030 (the “Convertible Notes due 2030” and, together with the 10 3/4% Secured Notes and the 6 3/4% Secured Notes, the “Seller Notes”). The remaining amount after paying off the Seller Notes (the “Purchase Price”) will be paid by SpaceX to us as follows: (i) up to $8.5 billion will be paid in SpaceX’s Class A Common Stock, valued at $212 per share, prior to the stock split discussed below, (the “Equity Amount”); and (ii) any amount of the Purchase Price exceeding $8.5 billion will be paid in cash. If the Total Payoff Consideration Amount exceeds $8.5 billion, we may elect to pay the excess in cash, our Class A Common Stock (with respect to the Convertible Notes due 2030), or both, to maintain our receipt of the full Equity Amount. However, if we elect not to pay such excess amount, the Equity Amount will be reduced dollar-for-dollar to ensure that the combined Equity Amount and Total Payoff Consideration Amount do not exceed the Total Consideration Amount. As of June 30, 2026, the aggregate principal amount outstanding of the Seller Notes was $9.821 billion and is secured by the AWS-4 and AWS-3 Licenses, and the Trust. The Spectrum Acquisition Closing is expected to occur on or about November 30, 2027, following the expiration of the make-whole period for the Seller Notes and the date on which the Convertible Notes due 2030 become eligible for redemption. If SpaceX elects to proceed with the Spectrum Acquisition Closing prior to November 30, 2027, SpaceX will be responsible for any additional amounts required to satisfy the Seller Notes, other than additional amounts payable as a result of a default under the Seller Notes. In connection with the SpaceX License Purchase Agreement and the Initial SpaceX Transactions, on September 7, 2025, SpaceX and the Trust entered into a Credit Agreement, pursuant to which SpaceX has agreed upon the Spectrum Transfer Closing to loan to the Trust (via automatically cancellable loans) amounts sufficient to make debt service payments on the Seller Notes through at least November 30, 2027 (the “Interim Debt Service”), which will be secured on a junior lien basis by the AWS-4 and H-Block Licenses. The aggregate amount of payments for the Interim Debt Service through November 30, 2027 will equal approximately $2 billion and will be settled via a loan between us and SpaceX that automatically cancels upon the completion of the Spectrum Acquisition Closing. The Credit Agreement is generally on standard commercial terms and conditions and, as a beneficiary of the Credit Agreement, we have the ability to enforce the parties obligations under the Agreement. As part of the Spectrum Transfer Closing, discussed below in “SpaceX Transactions Closing Updates,” in May 2026, SpaceX reimbursed us $414 million for cash interest payments we previously made on the Seller Notes (the “SpaceX Reimbursement of Cash Interim Debt Service Payments”). In addition, in June 2026, the Trust made interest payments on our behalf of $414 million on the Seller Notes (the “Interim Debt Service Payments by the Trust”). As of June 30, 2026, Interim Debt Service payments totaled approximately $828 million, which are recorded in “Long-term deferred revenue and other long-term liabilities” on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, which will be recognized as a gain upon the closing of the SpaceX Transactions. 78 Table of Contents Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – Continued The SpaceX License Purchase Agreement also provides for future long-term commercial agreements that will enable us to offer our Wireless subscribers access to SpaceX’s next-generation Starlink Direct to Cell text and voice and broadband services utilizing certain rights and licenses related to the Spectrum that are to be conveyed by us to SpaceX at the Spectrum Acquisition Closing. The commercial agreements will also provide for a fee-based referral program that lets us refer existing customers and new Starlink customers to SpaceX. As of December 31, 2025, we had begun to utilize certain of the rights conveyed under the SpaceX License Purchase Agreement. In addition, we also have begun performing installation and other services for new Starlink customers. Amended and Restated License Purchase Agreement On November 5, 2025, we, SpaceX and Trust, entered into an Amended and Restated License Purchase Agreement (the “Amended and Restated SpaceX License Purchase Agreement,” and the transactions contemplated thereby, the “Amended SpaceX Transactions”), and, together with the Initial SpaceX Transactions, (the “SpaceX Transactions”). The Amended and Restated License Purchase Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the SpaceX License Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 7, 2025, by and among us, SpaceX and Trust. Pursuant to the Amended and Restated SpaceX License Purchase Agreement, we and SpaceX have agreed to revise the terms of the previously announced transaction to include the transfer of up to an aggregate of 15 MHz of AWS spectrum in the frequency range of 1695–1710 MHz for each relevant license area (the “AWS-3 Licenses”) from us to SpaceX in exchange for additional consideration of $2.6 billion, all of which will be paid in SpaceX’s Class A Common Stock, valued at $212 per share, prior to the stock split discussed below. As a result of this change, the total consideration for the SpaceX Transactions has increased from $17 billion to approximately $20 billion, with up to $11 billion to be paid in SpaceX’s Class A Common Stock, valued at $212 per share, prior to the stock split discussed below, (the “Amended Equity Amount”). Except as set forth above, the material terms of the Amended and Restated SpaceX License Purchase Agreement are substantially the same as the terms of the SpaceX License Purchase Agreement. SpaceX Transactions Closing Updates In May 2026, SpaceX issued a 5-for-1 stock split on SpaceX’s Class A Common Stock and as a result the Amended Equity Amount up to $11 billion to be paid in SpaceX’s Class A Common Stock is payable through the issuance of approximately 261.8 million shares of SpaceX’s Class A common stock at a fixed value of $42.40 per share (the “SpaceX Stock”). On May 12, 2026, the SpaceX Transactions received regulatory approval from the FCC. The DOJ waiting period had previously expired. On May 22, 2026, pursuant to the Amended and Restated License Purchase Agreement, we completed the Spectrum Transfer Closing, whereby we transferred to the Trust: (i) the AWS-4 and H-Block Licenses; and (ii) the AWS-3 Licenses (together, the “SpaceX Spectrum Assets”). The Spectrum Acquisition Closing remains targeted for November 30, 2027, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the applicable closing conditions, set forth in the Amended and Restated License Purchase Agreement. The Amended and Restated SpaceX License Purchase Agreement also provides for specified termination rights. The foregoing description of the Amended and Restated SpaceX License Purchase Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Amended and Restated SpaceX License Purchase Agreement filed as an exhibit to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. 79 Table of Contents Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – Continued Restructuring Support Agreement On March 19, 2026, we, DISH Network, DISH DBS and certain of DISH DBS’s subsidiaries entered into a restructuring support agreement (the “RSA” and the transactions contemplated thereby, the “Transactions”) with an ad hoc group representing more than 82% of holders of debt securities issued by DISH DBS. Pursuant to the RSA, and subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, DISH DBS agreed to prepay, without penalty, certain of its debt securities. In addition, on March 16, 2026, we prepaid without penalty, the remaining balance of our Term Loan due 2029 and Mandatorily Redeemable Preferred Shares due 2029 totaling approximately $1.6 billion. Intercompany Loans and Other Settlements See Note 10 in the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for definitions and further information on our intercompany loans. On March 12, 2026, we contributed our receivable from DISH Network under the EchoStar 2024 Intercompany Loan, to DISH Network. As a result of this contribution, the total outstanding balance of the EchoStar 2024 Intercompany Loan including interest paid in kind of $3.890 billion was extinguished. On March 19, 2026, pursuant to the RSA, DISH Network repaid in full its intercompany loans with DISH DBS, the total outstanding balance of the DISH Q2 2024 Intercompany Loan including interest paid in kind of $1.712 billion and the total outstanding balance of the DISH Q3 2024 Intercompany Loan including interest paid in kind of $535 million. The RSA also contemplates (i) repayment of the DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan 2028 Tranche of approximately $2.844 billion, which is expected to occur at the closing of the AT&T Transactions using proceeds from the AT&T Transactions, (ii) repayment or other satisfaction and discharge of the DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan 2026 Tranche of approximately $4.767 billion, and (iii) payment of a settlement amount to consenting creditors of approximately $125 million (the “RSA Settlement”). During the six months ended June 30, 2026, we recorded $125 million of RSA Settlement costs included in “Selling, general and administrative expenses” on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss). In connection with the RSA, DISH DBS and the consenting creditors agreed that all pending litigation between the parties would be dismissed with prejudice and on March 20, 2026, the parties filed a joint stipulation for dismissal of the litigation with prejudice. The foregoing description of the RSA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the RSA, filed as an exhibit to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. On June 30, 2026, in connection with the filing of the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Cases, the terms of the RSA were implemented by the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan, subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court. See Note 3 in the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for definitions and further information. On July 28, 2026, concurrently with the AT&T Closing, approximately $2.844 billion outstanding under the DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan 2028 Tranche due to DISH DBS was satisfied in full by DISH Network. In addition, on July 28, 2026, we contributed our receivable for the DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan 2026 Tranche to DISH Network. As a result of this contribution, the $4.767 billion outstanding balance of the DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan 2026 Tranche including interest paid in kind was extinguished. 80 Table of Contents Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – Continued Purchase and Sale Agreement On March 12, 2026, DISH Network and certain of its subsidiaries entered into a purchase and sale agreement with DISH DBS, pursuant to which DISH DBS purchased all of the equity of an affiliate and related assets. The transactions also included the transfer of approximately $6 billion of third-party liabilities and related litigation claims. These liabilities and related litigation claims have limited recourse solely to the purchased affiliate. Future Capital Requirements As a result of the AT&T Closing and satisfaction of our obligation to pay the FCC, substantial doubt regarding our ability to continue as a going concern does not exist. On June 26, 2026, the FCC issued a letter to us confirming that, pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the NorthStar Re-Auction Payment and SNR Re-Auction Payment have been satisfied and our obligation to pay the FCC has been fulfilled. On July 28, 2026, in connection with the AT&T Closing, we received proceeds of $20.250 billion in cash from AT&T. Concurrently with the AT&T Closing, approximately $2.844 billion outstanding under the DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan 2028 Tranche due to DISH DBS was satisfied in full by DISH Network. The DISH DBS Deconsolidated Subsidiaries used these proceeds to fully repay the aggregate principal balance of $2.0 billion for the DISH DBS 7 3/4% Senior Notes due on July 1, 2026. The repayment in full for the DISH DBS 7 3/4% Senior Notes due on July 1, 2026 and the discharge of the related Indenture obligations were authorized by the Bankruptcy Court presiding over the DISH DBS Filing Entities’ pending restructuring proceedings. In addition, the aggregate principal balance of $3.5 billion for the DISH Network 11 3/4% Senior Secured Notes due November 15, 2027 were redeemed in full. Furthermore, on July 28, 2026, we contributed our receivable for the DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan 2026 Tranche to DISH Network. As a result of this contribution, the $4.767 billion outstanding balance of the DISH 2021 Intercompany Loan 2026 Tranche including interest paid in kind was extinguished. Prepackaged Restructuring and Deconsolidation Prepackaged Restructuring On June 30, 2026, our subsidiary, DISH DBS Corporation and certain of its subsidiaries (the “DISH DBS Filing Entities”), including DISH Wireless L.L.C. and its subsidiaries (the “DISH Wireless Filing Entities,” and together with the DISH DBS Filing Entities, the “Filing Entities”), commenced voluntary cases under chapter 11 of title 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Prepackaged Chapter 11 Cases”) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the “Bankruptcy Court”), Houston Division, to pursue confirmation of a joint prepackaged plan of reorganization (the "Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan"). The Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan restructures certain funded debt obligations of the DISH DBS Filing Entities and all claims asserted against the DISH Wireless Filing Entities. The Prepackaged Chapter 11 Cases of the DISH DBS Filing Entities and the DISH Wireless Filing Entities are jointly administered for procedural purposes and the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan is a joint plan for all of the Filing Entities. 81 Table of Contents Item 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – Continued The Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan implements the terms of the RSA signed on March 19, 2026, as amended, modified or supplemented, subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court. Holders of more than 88% of the DISH DBS Filing Entities’ secured and unsecured notes, who also hold more than $8.8 billion of claims against the DISH Wireless Filing Entities, have signed the RSA and have agreed to support the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan. As a result, the Filing Entities anticipate that all classes of claims will vote to accept, or be deemed to have accepted, the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan. The Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan remains subject to approval by the Bankruptcy Court. The Filing Entities are targeting emergence from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan during the second half of 2026. Deconsolidation As a result of the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Cases, pursuant to the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification 810, Consolidation (“ASC 810”), for financial reporting purposes, we no longer have a controlling financial interest in the DISH DBS Filing Entities and all other subsidiaries of DISH DBS (together the “DISH DBS Deconsolidated Subsidiaries”) or the DISH Wireless Filing Entities and all other subsidiaries of DISH Wireless (together the “DISH Wireless Deconsolidated Subsidiaries,” and together with the DISH DBS Deconsolidated Subsidiaries, collectively referred to as the “Deconsolidated Subsidiaries”), due to the oversight and control assumed by the Bankruptcy Court and as such we deconsolidated those subsidiaries for financial reporting purposes effective June 30, 2026. The financial positions and results of operations of the Deconsolidated Subsidiaries are no longer included in our condensed consolidated financial statements subsequent to the deconsolidation date. Our results of operations include the operations of the Deconsolidated Subsidiaries for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. Upon deconsolidation, we recorded a non-cash “Deconsolidation gain” of $9.729 billion on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the three and six months ended June 30, 2026. See Note 3 in the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. Prospectively, beginning in the third quarter of 2026, our results of operations will be materially different as we will no longer have the operations of the Deconsolidated Subsidiaries, which represent substantially all of our Pay-TV segment and substantially all of our expenses for the Other segment. The DISH DBS Filing Entities are targeting emergence from the Prepackaged Chapter 11 Plan during the second half of 2026, subject to Bankruptcy Court approval, upon which we will regain control of the DISH DBS Deconsolidated Subsidiaries for financial reporting purposes and reconsolidate those subsidiaries at that time based on the associated fair value of their assets and liabilities. Segments Until June 30, 2026, we operated four primary business segments: (1) Pay-TV; (2) Wireless; (3) Broadband and Satellite Services; and (4) Other. Substantially all of our Pay-TV segment and our Other segment were deconsolidated as of June 30, 2026. The financial positions of the Deconsolidated Subsidiaries are no longer included in our condensed consolidated financial statements subsequent to the deconsolidation date. Our results of operations include the operations of the Deconsolidated Subsidiaries through and including the deconsolidation date of June 30, 2026. See Note 3 in the Notes to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for further information. 82 Table of Contents Item 2.
