EchoStar Corporation reported that it has completed the Spectrum Transfer Closing with Space Exploration Technologies Corp. under a previously disclosed Amended and Restated License Purchase Agreement. On May 22, 2026, certain EchoStar subsidiaries transferred to Spectrum Business Trust 2025-1 rights and licenses to an aggregate of 50 MHz of spectrum in the 2000-2020 MHz, 2180-2200 MHz, 1915-1920 MHz and 1995-2000 MHz bands, plus up to an aggregate of 15 MHz of AWS spectrum in the 1695-1710 MHz band for each relevant license area.
As part of this closing, Space Exploration Technologies Corp. reimbursed EchoStar for cash interest payments previously made on Seller Notes under the agreement. The subsequent Spectrum Acquisition Closing, in which the Trust will transfer these spectrum assets to Space Exploration Technologies Corp. in exchange for the Total Consideration Amount, remains targeted for November 30, 2027, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of closing conditions in the agreement.
EchoStar director William David Wade exercised stock options to acquire additional shares. On May 18, 2026, he exercised a Non-Employee Director Stock Option covering 5,000 shares of EchoStar Class A Common Stock at $24.49 per share, converting the option into common stock and leaving zero options remaining from that grant.
Following the exercise, Wade directly holds 5,324 shares of Class A Common Stock. He also indirectly holds 443 shares through a trust, as noted in the footnote. The filing shows no open-market sale of shares; it reflects a derivative exercise that increases his direct share ownership.
Telluray Holdings, LLC, a more than 10% owner of EchoStar CORP, reported updated holdings in EchoStar stock. It now directly holds 2,350,696 shares of Class A Common Stock and 60,517,502 shares of Class B Common Stock.
On May 13, 2026, an entity called the Ergen Two-Year May 2024 SATS GRAT transferred 2,925,750 Class B shares to Telluray Holdings in exchange for membership units in Telluray Holdings, a non-market restructuring transaction. The Class B shares may be converted into an equal number of Class A shares at any time for no additional consideration. Footnotes state that Mrs. Cantey M. Ergen has sole voting power over these shares, while she and Mr. Charles W. Ergen share dispositive power as managers of Telluray Holdings.
EchoStar CORP’s Ergen Two-Year May 2025 SATS GRAT, a ten percent owner, reported a bona fide gift of 1,902,790 shares of Class B Common Stock on May 13, 2026. The distribution was made to Mr. Ergen as an annuity payment under the trust’s terms.
After this transfer, the 2025 May GRAT continues to hold 23,097,210 Class B shares. Each Class B share may be converted into an equal number of Class A shares at any time for no additional consideration. The 2025 May GRAT is scheduled to expire on May 13, 2027, and Mrs. Cantey M. Ergen serves as its trustee.
EchoStar CORP insiders Charles W. Ergen and Cantey Ergen reported estate-planning moves involving Class B Common Stock linked to Class A shares. Several entries simply restate indirect and direct holdings in Class A and Class B stock.
The filing shows bona fide gifts of Class B shares and related transfers involving grantor retained annuity trusts (GRATs) and entities such as Telluray Holdings, LLC. One GRAT distributed 1,902,790 Class B shares to Mr. Ergen as an annuity payment and continued holding 23,097,210 Class B shares. Another GRAT distributed 381,135 Class B shares to Mr. Ergen and contributed 2,925,750 Class B shares to Telluray Holdings.
The Class B shares may be converted into an equal number of Class A shares for no additional consideration. After these non-market gifts and restructuring steps, Mr. Ergen continues to hold substantial direct and indirect positions in both classes of EchoStar stock.
EchoStar Corporation’s controlling shareholders, Charles and Cantey Ergen, filed Amendment No. 64 to their Schedule 13D updating their ownership structure in EchoStar’s Class A Common Stock. As of May 11, 2026, Mr. Ergen beneficially owns 148,681,314 shares, representing 51.0% of the class, while Mrs. Ergen beneficially owns 147,197,344 shares, representing 50.8%.
The filing explains that these amounts include both Class A and Class B shares, with Class B convertible one-for-one into Class A and carrying 10 votes per share. Based on this structure, each of Mr. and Mrs. Ergen may be deemed to hold approximately 90.3% of EchoStar’s voting power, with effective voting power of about 89.4% due to an Amended Support Agreement limiting their voting of Class A shares. The amendment also details estate-planning moves on May 13, 2026, including the expiration of the Ergen Two-Year May 2024 SATS GRAT after distributing 381,135 Class B shares to Mr. Ergen and contributing 2,925,750 Class B shares to Telluray Holdings, as well as a 1,902,790-share Class B distribution from the 2025 May GRAT.
State Street affiliates report beneficial ownership of 14,551,022 shares of EchoStar Corp common stock, equal to 9.2% of the class as of 03/31/2026. The filing lists shared voting power of 12,198,049 shares and shared dispositive power of 14,546,826 shares.

EchoStar CORP executive Robert Joseph Rupczynski, President of Retail Wireless, filed an initial ownership report showing an employee stock option tied to 12,500 shares of Class A common stock. The option has an exercise price of $120.60 per share, expires on April 1, 2036, and vests in three equal annual installments beginning on April 1, 2027. This filing records his derivative holdings and does not reflect any recent share purchases or sales.
EchoStar Corporation reported a first-quarter 2026 net loss of $146.9 million, or $0.51 per share, on revenue of $3.67 billion, down from $3.87 billion a year earlier. Despite lower revenue, operating income swung to a $392.8 million profit from a prior-period loss, helped by sharply reduced depreciation and an impairment credit.
Cash on hand, including marketable investment securities, was $1.52 billion as of March 31, 2026, against $41.38 billion of total assets and $35.70 billion of total liabilities. Principal debt outstanding totaled about $24.56 billion, with $2.0 billion of 7 3/4% Senior Notes, $1.38 billion of additional 2026 notes and $2.75 billion of 5 1/4% Senior Secured Notes all maturing in 2026.
The company has agreed to sell 3.45–3.55 GHz and 600 MHz spectrum and extend certain leases to AT&T for $22.65 billion in cash, and to sell AWS-4, H-Block and AWS-3 spectrum to SpaceX for total consideration of approximately $22 billion, including about $20 billion at the Spectrum Acquisition Closing and roughly $2 billion of interim debt service support. Proceeds are expected to repay multiple secured and convertible notes.
EchoStar also entered a Restructuring Support Agreement with an ad hoc group holding over 82% of DISH DBS debt, prepaid about $1.6 billion of a term loan and preferred shares, extinguished or repaid several intercompany loans, and recorded a $125 million RSA settlement cost. However, because these large spectrum transactions are subject to regulatory and other approvals and have not yet closed, and given potential AWS-3 re-auction payments up to $2.921 billion, management states that substantial doubt exists about the company’s ability to continue as a going concern.
FMR LLC reports beneficial ownership of 16,374,140.11 shares of EchoStar Corp Class A common stock, equal to 10.1% of the class. The filing (Schedule 13G/A Amendment No. 4) lists sole dispositive power of 16,374,140.11 shares and sole voting power of 16,121,938.97.
The filing names Abigail P. Johnson as having shared indirect interest through FMR-related entities and references an accompanying Exhibit and power of attorney. The filing does not state any purchases or sales; it reports current ownership positions.
