Introductory Statement

This Amendment No. 1 (this “Amendment”) amends and supplements the Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO (the “Tender Offer Statement”) originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) by EchoStar Corporation (“EchoStar”) on January 16, 2024 (together with this Amendment, the “Schedule TO”), in connection with the offer to exchange any and all of the 0% Convertible Notes due 2025 (the “DISH Network 2025 Notes”) issued by DISH Network Corporation (“DISH Network”) and any and all of the 3.375% Convertible Notes due 2026 issued by DISH Network (the “DISH Network 2026 Notes,” and together with the DISH 2025 Notes, the “Existing Notes”), for aggregate principal amount of up to $2,677,379,000 of EchoStar’s 10.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2030 (the “New EchoStar Notes”), and the concurrent consent solicitations from each holder of the Existing Notes.

The exchange offers and consent solicitations were made on the terms and subject to the conditions contained in the preliminary prospectus and consent solicitation statement (the “Prospectus”), which formed a part of the Registration Statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) as filed with the SEC by EchoStar on January 16, 2024. The Offer was scheduled to expire immediately following 11:59 p.m., Eastern time, on February 9, 2024, unless extended or terminated (such date and time, the “Expiration Date”). Capitalized terms used and not otherwise defined in this Amendment shall have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Tender Offer Statement and the Registration Statement.

The Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented as follows:

Item 1 through Item 11

Items 1 through 11 of the Schedule TO, including to the extent they incorporate by reference information contained in the Registration Statement, are hereby amended as follows:

Expiration and Termination of the Exchange Offers

On February 12, 2024, EchoStar announced that it had terminated the exchange offers and consent solicitations following the Expiration Date. Each exchange offer and consent solicitation was conditioned upon, among other things, at least a majority of the outstanding principal amount of the applicable series of Existing Notes being validly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the expiration of the applicable exchange offer (the “Minimum Tender Condition”). The exchange offers and consent solicitations expired immediately following the Expiration Date As of the Expiration Date, holders of the Existing Notes had not tendered sufficient Existing Notes to meet the Minimum Tender Condition with respect to either exchange offer. Accordingly, EchoStar terminated the exchange offers and consent solicitations following the Expiration Date.

Because the Minimum Tender Condition was not satisfied as of the Expiration Date, EchoStar will not accept any Existing Notes tendered for exchange, and all Existing Notes tendered pursuant to the exchange offers will be promptly returned to their holders. No consideration will be paid or become payable to holders of the Existing Notes who tendered their Existing Notes in the exchange offers.

A copy of the press release issued by the Company on February 12, 2024 announcing the termination of the Offer is attached hereto as Exhibit (a)(13) and is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 12. Exhibits.

Item 12 of the Schedule TO is hereby amended and supplemented by removing Exhibits (a)(6), (a)(7), (a)(10) and (a)(11) and adding the following exhibit:
