Tenders by such supporting eligible holders party to the Transaction Support Agreement will satisfy the Minimum Tender Condition to the exchange offers.\nThe following table describes certain terms of the exchange offers:\n\n\n\n\nTitle of Existing DISH Notes \n\nCUSIP/ISIN Number(1)  \n\nPrincipal AmountOutstanding(2) \n\n\nExchange Consideration(3) \n\n\n\n0% Convertible Notes due 2025 \n\n25470MAF6/US2547MAF68 \n\n$ \n1,957,197,000 \n\n\n\n$524.30 of EchoStar Exchange Notes and $400.70 of EchoStar Convertible Notes \n\n\n\n3.375% Convertible Notes due 2026 \n\n25470MAB5/US2547MAB54 \n\n$ \n2,908,799,000 \n\n\n\n$465.90 of EchoStar Exchange Notes and $400.70 of EchoStar Convertible Notes \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n(1)No representation is made as to the correctness or accuracy of the CUSIP or ISIN numbers listed in this press release or printed on the Existing DISH Notes. They are provided solely for convenience. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n(2)Net of $42,803,000 and $91,199,000 of DISH Network 2025 Notes and DISH Network 2026 Notes, respectively, that are held by DISH and not deemed outstanding. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n(3)Consideration in the form of principal amount of EchoStar Notes per $1,000 principal amount of Existing DISH Notes that are validly tendered and accepted for exchange, subject to any rounding as described herein. Excludes accrued interest, which will be paid in cash in addition to the Exchange Consideration, as applicable. \n\n\n\n\nThe EchoStar Notes will be guaranteed by certain of EchoStar's subsidiaries, and such guarantees will be secured equally and ratably with certain other secured indebtedness on a first-priority basis, subject to permitted liens and certain exceptions, and subject to a 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 EchoStar's subsidiaries that, on or after the date of issuance of the EchoStar Notes, hold any Spectrum Assets (each, a \"Spectrum Assets Guarantor\"); (ii) the proceeds of any Spectrum Assets; and (iii) a lien on the equity interests held by an entity that directly owns any equity interests in any Spectrum Assets Guarantor. The EchoStar Notes will not have recourse to any assets of any other subsidiary of EchoStar other than as set forth above.\nConcurrently with the exchange offers, EchoStar is also soliciting consents from holders of each series of the Existing DISH Notes to amend the terms of the applicable series of Existing DISH Notes and the indentures governing such Existing DISH Notes to, among other things, eliminate certain events of default (including any cross-defaults related to any payment, bankruptcy or other defaults of any DISH subsidiary) and substantially all of the restrictive covenants in each such indenture and the Existing DISH Notes of the applicable series, including, but not limited to, the merger covenant, the reporting covenant and to make certain conforming changes to each such indenture and the Existing DISH Notes of the applicable series to reflect the proposed amendments (the \"Proposed Amendments\"). Holders may not consent to the Proposed Amendments without tendering the applicable Existing DISH Notes in the relevant exchange offer, and holders may not tender Existing DISH Notes of any series for exchange without consenting to the Proposed Amendments for such series.\nEach exchange offer and consent solicitation is a separate offer and/or solicitation, and each may be individually amended, extended, terminated or withdrawn, subject to certain conditions and applicable law, at any time in EchoStar's sole discretion, and without amending, extending, terminating or withdrawing any other exchange offer or consent solicitation. Additionally, notwithstanding any other provision of the exchange offers, EchoStar's obligations to accept and exchange any of the Existing DISH Notes validly tendered pursuant to an exchange offer is subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions, as described in the Registration Statement, and EchoStar expressly reserves its right, subject to applicable law, to terminate any exchange offer and/or consent solicitation at any time.\nThe exchange offers and consent solicitations will expire one minute after 11:59 p.m., New York City time, on November 7, 2024, or any other date and time to which EchoStar extends such period for such exchange offer or consent solicitation in its sole discretion (such date and time for such exchange offer or consent solicitation, as it may be extended, the \"Expiration Date\"). To be eligible to receive the applicable exchange consideration in the applicable exchange offer and consent solicitation, holders must validly tender and not validly withdraw their Existing DISH Notes and validly deliver and not revoke their consents at or prior to the Expiration Date. Holders may withdraw tendered Existing DISH Notes at any time prior to the Expiration Date. Any Existing DISH Notes withdrawn pursuant to the terms of the applicable exchange offer and consent solicitation shall not thereafter be considered tendered for any purpose unless and until such notes are again tendered pursuant to the applicable exchange offer and consent solicitation. Existing DISH Notes not exchanged in the exchange offers and consent solicitations will be returned to the tendering holder at EchoStar's expense promptly after the expiration or termination of the exchange offers and consent solicitations.\nA registration statement on Form S-4 relating to the EchoStar Notes (the \"Registration Statement\") has been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the \"SEC\") but has not yet become effective. The consummation of each exchange offer and consent solicitation is subject to, and conditional upon, the satisfaction or, where permitted, waiver of certain conditions including, among other things, the effectiveness of the Registration Statement, and at least 90% of the outstanding principal amount of the applicable series of Existing DISH Notes being validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the Expiration Date (the \"Minimum Tender Condition\"), which will be satisfied with the participation from the eligible holders party to the Transaction Support Agreement. All conditions to each exchange offer and consent solicitation must be satisfied or, where permitted, waived, on or prior to the Expiration Date. For the avoidance of doubt, EchoStar reserves the right to waive in its sole and absolute discretion the Minimum Tender Condition and accept any and all Existing DISH Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn at or prior to the expiration date.\nD.F. King & Co., Inc. is acting as exchange agent and information agent for the exchange offers and consent solicitations.\nThis press release does not constitute an offer to sell or exchange or the solicitation of an offer to buy or exchange any securities, nor shall there be any exchange of the EchoStar Notes for Existing DISH Notes pursuant to the exchange offers and consent solicitations in any jurisdiction in which such exchanges would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the laws of such jurisdiction.\nAbout EchoStar Corporation\nEchoStar Corporation (Nasdaq: SATS) is a global fully integrated communications and content delivery leader and provider of technology, spectrum, engineering, manufacturing, networking services, television entertainment and connectivity, offering consumer, enterprise, operator and government solutions worldwide under its EchoStar®, Boost Mobile®, Sling TV, DISH TV™, Hughes®, HughesNet®, HughesON™, and JUPITER™ brands.
