Deals between ECHO and its directors, executives, owners of more than 5% or their families: a relative on the payroll,
a plane the company charters from its CEO, a director's company that buys from it. SEC rules (Item 404) make the company list every such deal over $120,000 in its proxy statement.
Only one proxy is stored, so there is nothing to compare yet; the section is below.

Once each calendar year, the Audit Committee and/or the Board of Directors, as applicable, undertake a review of certain recurring potential related-party transactions to determine whether to approve the continuation of such transactions, with all interested parties abstaining. For purposes of this section entitled “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions” the terms “we,” “us,” “EchoStar,” the “Corporation,” the “Company” and “our” refer to EchoStar Corporation and its subsidiaries.”

Paragraphs are compared by their words, not read by AI: one counts as new when no paragraph last year shares half of its words, or when it names a person or company last year's section did not.
A deal reported again with a new amount is not new. Always check the filing.
