Summary
EchoStar's DISH DBS subsidiaries emerged from their prepackaged Chapter 11 bankruptcy on October 1, 2026. As a result, EchoStar will reconsolidate these entities into its consolidated financial statements, reversing the deconsolidation that occurred on June 30, 2026 when the bankruptcy cases were filed.
In connection with the emergence, DISH DBS entered into supplemental indentures covering four series of notes: 5.25% senior secured notes due 2026, 5.75% senior secured notes due 2028, 7.375% senior notes due 2028, and 5.125% senior notes due 2029.For retail holders, the reconsolidation means EchoStar's financial statements will once again include the DISH DBS entities' assets, liabilities, and results of operations. The supplemental indentures are part of the bankruptcy restructuring and may affect the rights of existing noteholders, but without disclosed terms, the impact on noteholders cannot be assessed from this filing alone.
