EXPLANATORY NOTE

​

This Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (this “10-K/A”) is being filed with respect to the Annual Report of EchoStar Corporation (“EchoStar” or the “Corporation”) on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2025 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 2, 2026 (the “10-K”). The 10-K omitted the information required by Part III (Items 10 through 14), which had been contemplated to be incorporated by reference from EchoStar’s definitive Proxy Statement for its 2026 annual meeting of shareholders, in reliance on General Instruction G(3) of Form 10-K. As EchoStar’s definitive Proxy Statement for its 2026 annual meeting of shareholders is not expected to be filed within 120 days after the end of EchoStar’s 2025 fiscal year, EchoStar is filing the 10-K/A to provide the disclosures required by Part III pursuant to General Instruction G(3) of Form 10-K.

​

In accordance with Rule 12b-15 under the Exchange Act, Part III, Items 10 through 14 of the 10-K, which were originally omitted and incorporated by reference to the Proxy Statement, have been amended to include this information, and Part IV, Item 15 of the 10-K has been amended solely to include as exhibits the new certifications required by Rule 13a-14(a) under the Exchange Act. This 10-K/A does not amend or otherwise update any other information in the 10-K. Accordingly, this 10-K/A should be read in conjunction with the 10-K and with EchoStar’s other filings with the SEC subsequent to the filing of the 10-K.
