EXPLANATORY NOTE
​
On December 31, 2007, EchoStar Corporation, a Nevada corporation (the "Registrant"), filed a registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-148416) (the "First Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") registering the issuance of (i) 360,000 Class A Shares, issuable pursuant to the EchoStar Corporation 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "2008 ESPP"); (ii) 16,000,000 Class A Shares issuable pursuant to the EchoStar Corporation 2008 Stock Incentive Plan; (iii) 250,000 Class A Shares issuable pursuant to the EchoStar Corporation 2008 Nonemployee Director Stock Option Plan; and (iv) 4,000,000 Class A Shares that may be issued upon conversion of shares of Class B common stock of the Registrant, par value $0.001 per share, issuable pursuant to the EchoStar Corporation 2008 Class B CEO Stock Option Plan. On October 5, 2009, the Registrant filed a registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-162339) (the "Second Registration Statement") with the Commission registering the issuance of an additional 2,140,000 Class A Shares issuable pursuant to the 2008 ESPP.
​
On June 12, 2017, the Registrant filed a registration statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-218658) (the "Third Registration Statement") with the Commission registering an additional 2,500,000 Class A Shares issuable pursuant to the Amended and Restated EchoStar Corporation 2017 Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("2017 ESPP"), which amended and restated the 2008 ESPP, thereby increasing the aggregate number of Class A Shares registered under the 2017 ESPP to 5,000,000 Class A Shares.
​
On February 23, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Registrant approved certain amendments to the 2017 ESPP pursuant to which the aggregate number of Class A Shares reserved for issuance under the 2017 ESPP would increase by 3,000,000 shares, subject to approval by the Registrant's stockholders, and on May 3, 2024, the Board of Directors of the Registrant approved an additional amendment to the 2017 ESPP pursuant to which fractional shares may be purchased (the 2017 ESPP, as so amended, the "A&R 2017 ESPP"). On May 3, 2024, the Registrant's stockholders approved the increase in the aggregate number of Class A Shares reserved for issuance under the 2017 ESPP by 3,000,000 shares.
The purpose of this Registration Statement on Form S-8 is for the Registrant to register an additional 3,000,000 Class A Shares to be issued under the A&R 2017 ESPP, thereby increasing the aggregate number of Class A Shares registered under the A&R 2017 ESPP to 8,000,000 Class A Shares.

​
The validity of the securities being registered hereunder is being passed upon for the Registrant by Dean A. Manson, Chief Legal Officer and Secretary of EchoStar. As of the date of filing, Mr. Manson owns, directly and indirectly, less than 1% of the outstanding shares of EchoStar Class A common stock.
​
Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers
​
Chapter 78.7502(1) of the Nevada Revised Statutes ("NRS") allows EchoStar to indemnify any person made or threatened to be made a party to any action (except an action by or in the right of EchoStar, a "derivative action"), by reason of the fact that they are or were a director, officer, employee or agent of EchoStar, or are or were serving at the request of EchoStar as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, against expenses including attorneys' fees, judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the action, suit or proceeding if they acted in a good faith manner which they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of EchoStar, and, with respect to any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe that their conduct was unlawful. Under NRS chapter 78.7502(2), a similar standard of care applies to derivative actions, except that indemnification is limited solely to expenses (including attorneys' fees) incurred in connection with the defense or settlement of the action and court approval of the indemnification is required where the person is seeking advance payment of indemnifiable expenses prior to final disposition of the proceeding in question. Under NRS chapter 78.7502(3), decisions as to the payment of indemnification are made by a majority of the Board of Directors at a meeting at which a quorum of disinterested directors is present, or by written opinion of special legal counsel if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of disinterested directors so orders or if such a quorum cannot be obtained, or by the stockholders.

Provisions relating to liability and indemnification of officers and directors of EchoStar for acts by such officers and directors are contained in Article IX of the Articles of Incorporation of EchoStar as amended on January 25, 2008 and May 4, 2016, Exhibits 4.1 through 4.3 hereto, and Article IX of EchoStar's Bylaws, Exhibits 4.4 and 4.5 hereto, which are incorporated by reference. These provisions state, among other things, that, consistent with and to the extent permitted by the NRS and upon the decision of a disinterested majority of EchoStar's Board of Directors, or a written opinion of outside legal counsel in case a disinterested majority vote of the Board of Directors is not available (or even if a quorum of disinterested directors is obtainable, if such a quorum so directs), or EchoStar's stockholders, that the applicable standard of conduct has been satisfied: (1) EchoStar shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative and whether formal or informal (other than an action by or in the right of EchoStar) by reason of the fact that they are or were a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of EchoStar, or are or were serving at the request of EchoStar as a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise, against expenses (including attorneys' fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with such action, suit or proceeding, if they acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of EchoStar, and with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe their conduct was unlawful; and (2) EchoStar shall indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action or suit by or in the right of EchoStar to procure a judgment in
its favor by reason of the fact that the person is or was a director, officer, employee, fiduciary or agent of EchoStar, or is or was serving at the request of EchoStar as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, employee benefit plan or other enterprise against expenses (including attorneys' fees) actually and reasonably incurred by the person in connection with the defense or settlement of such action or suit if they acted in good faith and in a manner reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of EchoStar and except that no indemnification shall be made in respect to any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have adjudged to be liable for negligence or misconduct in the performance of their duty to EchoStar unless and only to the extent that the court in which such action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses which such court shall deem proper.
