As previously disclosed by DISH Network Corporation (the “Corporation”) in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 31, 2013, the Corporation no longer has three audit committee members as required by NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(c)(2) effective July 31, 2013.  In addition, as previously disclosed in the same Current Report on Form 8-K, the Corporation provided the required notice to NASDAQ to this effect on July 31, 2013 and indicated the Corporation’s intention to rely on the cure period specified in NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(c)(4)(B) until the audit committee vacancy is filled.

 

On August 19, 2013, the Corporation received a letter from NASDAQ that acknowledged the Corporation’s notice.  The letter from NASDAQ also confirmed that, consistent with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(c)(4), the Corporation would be entitled to a cure period to regain compliance with NASDAQ Listing Rule 5605(c)(2) until the earlier of the Corporation’s next annual shareholders’ meeting or July 31, 2014 (or, if such meeting is held before January 27, 2014, until January 27, 2014).  This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed solely to comply with NASDAQ listing rules requiring public announcement of the Corporation’s receipt of the letter from NASDAQ.
