(1) All of the shares beneficially held by the Two-Year
December 2021 GRAT are shares of Class B Common Stock.
The shares of Class B Common Stock are convertible into shares
of Class A Common Stock on a one-for-one basis at any

outstanding on March 14, 2022 and assuming conversion of all
the shares of Class B Common Stock held by the Two-Year

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
the Two-Year December 2021 GRAT may be deemed to own
beneficially would be approximately 6.1%. Because each share of
Class B Common Stock is entitled to 10 votes per share, the
Two-Year December 2021 GRAT owns beneficially equity
securities of DISH Network representing approximately 12.2% of the
voting power of DISH Network (assuming no conversion of the
Class B Common Stock).

(1) Includes shares of Class A Common Stock and
Class B Common Stock, of which Telluray Holdings is the
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. Consists of: (i) 63,790,620
shares of Class B Common Stock; and (ii) 6,699,489 shares
of Class A Common Stock, for which Mrs. Ergen has sole
voting power as a manager of Telluray Holdings and for which
Mr. Ergen and Mrs. Ergen share dispositive power as the

(2) Based on 290,571,584 shares of Class A Common Stock
outstanding on March 14, 2022 and assuming conversion of all
the shares of Class B Common Stock held by Telluray Holdings
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 Telluray Holdings
may be deemed to own beneficially would be approximately 13.3%.
Because each share of Class B Common Stock is entitled to 10
votes per share, Telluray Holdings owns beneficially equity
securities of DISH Network representing approximately 24.1% of the
voting power of DISH Network (assuming no conversion of the
Class B Common Stock).

understandings or relationships, including, but not limited to,
transfer or voting of any of the securities of DISH Network,
finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or
calls, guarantees of profits, division of profits or loss, or the
giving or withholding of proxies nor are any of the securities
pledged or otherwise subject to a contingency the occurrence of
which would give another person voting power or investment power
over such securities.
The trust agreements for the Two-Year June 2020 GRAT, the
