Welcome to our dedicated page for Echostar SEC filings (Ticker: SATS), a comprehensive resource for investors and traders seeking official regulatory documents including 10-K annual reports, 10-Q quarterly earnings, 8-K material events, and insider trading forms.
EchoStar Corporation filings document material events, agreements, capital-structure disclosures and governance matters for an operating company with wireless, video, satellite and connectivity businesses. Recent 8-K disclosures cover company events tied to its operating and financial results, shareholder voting matters and material agreements.
The filing record also reflects formal updates related to EchoStar’s public-company capital structure and governance framework. These disclosures sit alongside the company’s recurring business reporting for brands and operations that include Boost Mobile, Sling TV, DISH TV, Hughes, HughesNet, HughesON and JUPITER.
EchoStar Corporation, through its subsidiary DISH DBS Corporation, has cured previously disclosed missed interest payments on its outstanding notes. On June 18, 2026, DBS paid the interest that was originally due June 1, 2026 on its 5.25% secured notes due 2026, 5.75% secured notes due 2028, and 5.125% unsecured notes due 2029, including accrued interest. These payments were made within the 30‑day grace periods, avoiding an Event of Default under the indentures governing the DBS notes. EchoStar had chosen to defer these payments to conserve liquidity while awaiting approximately $20.25 billion in net closing proceeds from its pending AT&T Transactions. The AT&T Transactions have received approvals from the FCC and DOJ, and no challenges to the FCC approval order were filed by the applicable deadline, though the FCC’s order is not yet final and closing remains subject to other conditions.
EchoStar CORP insiders Charles and Cantey Ergen reported estate-planning related share movements rather than market trades. The Form 4 shows bona fide gifts totaling 8,600,000 Class B Common Stock on June 15, 2026, split into two transactions of 4,300,000 shares each.
One 4,300,000-share gift moved Class B stock as an indirect holding, and another 4,300,000-share gift reduced the direct Class B position to 71,914 shares afterward. Footnotes explain that on June 15, 2026 Mr. Ergen created the Ergen Two-Year June 2026 SATS GRAT and contributed 4,300,000 Class B shares to this grantor retained annuity trust.
After these changes, the filing lists 11,140,269 Class A shares held directly and multiple large indirect Class B positions held through GRATs and entities such as Telluray Holdings, LLC and nXgen Opportunities, LLC. The Class B shares may be converted into an equal number of Class A shares at any time for no additional consideration.
EchoStar Corporation insiders led by Charles and Cantey Ergen filed Amendment No. 65 to Schedule 13D updating their ownership structure and control. Mr. Ergen reports beneficial ownership of 148,681,314 shares, or 51.0% of the Class A Common Stock on an as-converted basis, while Mrs. Ergen reports 147,197,344 shares, or 50.7%.
Because Class B shares carry 10 votes each, both Mr. and Mrs. Ergen may be deemed to control approximately 90.3% of EchoStar’s voting power, with effective voting power of about 89% due to support-agreement restrictions on voting certain Class A shares.
The amendment also discloses creation of the Ergen Two-Year June 2026 SATS GRAT, which received 4,300,000 Class B shares on June 15, 2026 for estate-planning purposes, and describes multiple GRATs and Telluray Holdings that together hold sizable Class B positions subject to detailed change-of-control and disposition provisions.

EchoStar Corporation elected not to make approximately $183 million in cash interest payments due on June 1, 2026 on its DISH DBS subsidiary’s secured and unsecured notes. The missed payments cover $72.2 million on 5.25% notes due 2026, $71.9 million on 5.75% notes due 2028 and $38.4 million on 5.125% notes due 2029.
Under the DBS Notes indentures, this non-payment is a default but is subject to a 30-day grace period before it becomes an Event of Default. EchoStar chose to defer these payments to preserve liquidity while awaiting approximately $20.25 billion of net closing proceeds from its pending AT&T transactions, which have received DOJ and FCC approvals, with the FCC approval still requiring the FCC’s order to become final and other closing conditions to be satisfied or waived.
