Under each of the indentures governing the DBS Notes (the “DBS Notes Indentures”), such non-payment is a default and we have a 30-day grace period to make the Interest Payments before such non-payment constitutes an Event of Default (as such term is defined in the DBS Notes Indenture) with respect to the DBS Notes.\n\n​\n\nEchoStar elected not to make the Interest Payments on the due date to defer liquidity utilization pending the receipt of net closing proceeds of $20.25 billion from the AT&T Transactions (as defined in EchoStar’s SEC filings). The AT&T Transactions have received regulatory approvals from both the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and the Department of Justice (DOJ); however, the FCC’s approval remains subject to the FCC’s order becoming final. Consummation of the AT&T Transactions remains subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain other closing conditions as described in EchoStar’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on August 26, 2025.\n\n​\n\n​\n\n​\n\n​\n\n​"}
