EchoStar agrees to sell DISH pay-TV unit to DIRECTV for $1 plus net debt

Mixed m&a Written later 1.013.027.01

On September 29, 2024, EchoStar signed an Equity Purchase Agreement to sell DISH DBS, which runs its Pay-TV business, to DIRECTV Holdings LLC for $1 in cash plus the assumption of DBS net debt. The press release says closing is expected in the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to regulatory approvals and a debt exchange offer, and that EchoStar will reduce consolidated debt by about $11.7 billion at close. The deal removes the pay-TV business from EchoStar, and the outcome depends on regulatory approval and noteholder participation.

  • Consideration: $1 in cash plus assumption of DBS net debt outstanding at closing; DBS becomes a wholly owned subsidiary of DIRECTV Holdings LLC
  • Either party may terminate if the deal is not completed within 15 months of signing, extendable by up to two three-month periods
  • DBS is exchanging five note series with a total face value of about $9.75 billion, with a minimum principal reduction of $1.568 billion as a closing condition
  • TPG Angelo Gordon and DIRECTV provided $2.5 billion of financing to repay DBS's November 2024 debt maturity

Briefs are written by AI from the filing text and can contain mistakes — open the filing before acting on anything. Impact (1-5) and tone are the AI's reading of the filing for shareholders, not a price forecast. Not investment advice.

Briefs marked “Written later” were written in November 2026 for filings that were by then more than three weeks old, so months before mid-October 2026 hold a selection: every material 8-K of the past year for the 100 largest companies we cover and the last 15 important 8-Ks of every other one. Briefs the number check holds back are not shown or counted. Also: the last 45 days, briefs by company, A–Z and the live SEC filings wire.
