(1) “Voting Shares” include all shares of Class A Common Stock (“Class A Common Stock”) and Class B Common Stock (“Class B Common Stock”) of EchoStar Corporation (“EchoStar”) of which Mr. Ergen is the sole beneficial owner. The shares of Class B Common Stock are convertible into shares of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis at any time. The Voting Shares represent: (i) 103,661 shares of Class A Common Stock owned beneficially directly by Mr. Ergen; (ii) 3,705 shares of Class A Common Stock owned beneficially indirectly by Mr. Ergen in EchoStar’s 401(k) Employee Savings Plan; (iii) 5,367 shares of Class A Common Stock owned beneficially by Mr. Ergen as custodian for his minor children; (iv) 5,400 shares of Class A Common Stock beneficially owned by a charitable foundation for which Mr. Ergen is an officer of the charitable foundation and has both investment control and voting power for the foundation along with Cantey M. Ergen, his wife; and (v) 31,948,568 shares of Class B Common Stock owned beneficially directly by Mr. Ergen.

(2) “Sixty Day Shares” are shares of Class A Common Stock deemed to be owned beneficially under Rule 13d- 3(d)(1) because Mr. Ergen has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of such shares within 60 days of the date hereof. Upon acquisition by Mr. Ergen, these shares will become Voting Shares.

(3) “Other Shares” represent (i) 47 shares of Class A Common Stock owned beneficially by Mr. Ergen’s spouse, Cantey M. Ergen; (ii) 201 shares of Class A Common Stock owned beneficially indirectly by Mrs. Ergen in EchoStar’s 401(k) Employee Savings Plan and (iii) 5,367 shares of Class A Common Stock owned beneficially by certain of Mr. Ergen’s children.

(4) Based on 43,259,558 shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on May 13, 2013 and assuming conversion of the shares of Class B Common Stock held by Mr. Ergen into Class A Common Stock. Because such Class B Common Stock is convertible on a one-for-one basis into Class A Common Stock, assuming conversion of all shares of outstanding Class B Common Stock into Class A Common Stock, the percentage of the Class A Common Stock that Mr. Ergen may be deemed to own beneficially would be approximately 36.1%. Because each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to 10 votes per share, Mr. Ergen owns beneficially equity securities of the Company representing approximately 61.5% of the voting power of the Company (assuming no conversion of the Class B Common Stock).
