Good day, and thank you for standing by. Welcome to the EchoStar Transaction Announcement Webcast Presentation. [Operator Instructions] Please be advised that today's conference is being recorded.
And I would now like to hand the conference over to your speaker today, Mr. Tim Messner. Sir, please go ahead.
Timothy Messner
All right. Thanks, Chris. Good morning, everyone, and thanks for joining us. In light of today's joint transaction announcement, in lieu of the EchoStar earnings call that was originally scheduled during this time slot, we're instead going to focus on discussing the transaction and we will generally not be taking questions on either EchoStar's or DISH's quarterly results.
To that end, we're joined on the call today by Hamid Akhavan, the President and CEO of EchoStar; Charlie Ergen, the Executive Chairman of both DISH Network and EchoStar; John Swieringa, the President and Chief Operating Officer of DISH; Paul Gaske, the Chief Operating Officer of EchoStar; Tom Cullen, EVP of Corporate Development at DISH; Paul Orban, EVP and CFO at DISH; Dean Manson, Chief Legal Officer of EchoStar; and Jeff Boggs, the SVP of Finance of EchoStar.
Before we start, I need to remind you of the company's Safe Harbors. During this call, DISH and EchoStar may make forward-looking statements, which are subject to risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results to differ materially from historical results or from our forecast. DISH and EchoStar assume no responsibility for updating forward-looking statements. For more information on factors that may affect future results, please refer to the company's respective SEC filings.
Just to let you know, you can replay today's call as well as the prepared remarks and supplementary slide deck on the EchoStar and DISH Investor Relations website following the call. As a reminder, the presentation is self-driven so click next on your own to advance through the slides. And at the conclusion of the prepared remarks, we expect to take calls, first questions from the analysts followed by questions from the media. That's it.
