EchoStar Corporation Interest Payments on Notes

EchoStar Corporation, through its subsidiary DISH DBS Corporation (DBS), has notified the trustees for its 5.25% secured notes due 2026, 5.75% secured notes due 2028, and 5.125% unsecured notes due 2029 that it will make the scheduled interest payments on June 18, 2026. These payments were originally due on June 1, 2026. DBS initially deferred these payments to preserve liquidity pending the closing of the $20.25 billion AT&T Transactions. While regulatory approvals from the FCC and DOJ have been received, the FCC’s approval is not yet final. DBS has decided to make these interest payments within the 30-day grace period to cure the non-payment defaults, despite the potential for delays in the AT&T Transactions.
