Introductory Note.

This Current Report on Form 8-K is being filed in connection with the closing on May 6, 2025 of the transactions contemplated by that certain Arrangement Agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement”), dated as of January 29, 2025, as amended by an amending agreement (the “Arrangement Agreement Amendment”) dated March 12, 2025, by and among Starz Entertainment Corp. (f/k/a Lions Gate Entertainment Corp.), a British Columbia corporation (“Starz”), Lionsgate Studios Corp. (formerly known as Lionsgate Studios Holding Corp.), a British Columbia corporation (the “Company” or “New Lionsgate”), Lionsgate Studios Holding Corp. (formerly known as Lionsgate Studios Corp.), a British Columbia corporation (“Legacy LG Studios”) and LG Sirius Holdings ULC, a British Columbia unlimited liability corporation that was voluntarily dissolved in accordance with Section 314 of the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) and the regulations made thereunder (“LG Sirius,” and together with Starz, New Lionsgate, and Legacy LG Studios, the “Parties”, and the agreement, the “Arrangement Agreement”). At all times prior to the completion of the Transactions, Starz is hereinafter referred to as Old Lionsgate.

On May 6, 2025, pursuant to the Arrangement Agreement, Old Lionsgate completed the separation of the businesses of New Lionsgate and Starz through a series of transactions described below (the “Transactions”), resulting in two separately traded public companies: (1) New Lionsgate, which holds, directly and through subsidiaries, the motion picture and television studio operations previously held by Old Lionsgate (the “Studios Business”) and (2) Starz, which holds, directly and through subsidiaries, the other businesses that were previously held by Old Lionsgate, including the STARZ-branded premium subscription platforms (the “Starz Business”).

In connection with the completion of the Transactions, among other things:

| • |  | Old Lionsgate shareholders first received (i) in exchange for each outstanding Class A voting share of Old Lionsgate, without par value (“LGEC Class A shares”), that they held: one New Lionsgate Class A voting common share, without par value (“New Lionsgate Class A shares”); one New Lionsgate Class C preferred share, with one-half (1/2) of a vote per share, without par value (“New Lionsgate Class C preferred shares”) and (ii) in exchange for each outstanding Class B non-voting share of LGEC, without par value (“LGEC Class B shares”), that they held: one New Lionsgate Class B non-voting common share, without par value (“New Lionsgate Class B shares”) and one New Lionsgate Class C preferred share, without par value. Such exchange transactions by LGEC shareholders are collectively referred to as the “Initial Share Exchange”.

| • |  | Old Lionsgate changed its name to Starz Entertainment Corp. and created a new class of voting common shares, without par value (“Starz Common Shares”).

| • |  | New Lionsgate created a new class of common shares, without par value (“New Lionsgate Common Shares”) and New Lionsgate shareholders (formerly Old Lionsgate shareholders) received, in exchange for each New Lionsgate Class A share they held, together with each New Lionsgate Class C preferred share they held and which was issued in exchange for an LGEC Class A share in the Initial Share Exchange, one and twelve one-hundredths (1.12) New Lionsgate new common shares and one and twelve one-hundredths (1.12) Starz common shares and in exchange for each New Lionsgate Class B share they held, together with each New Lionsgate Class C preferred share they held and which was issued in exchange for an LGEC Class B share in the Initial Share Exchange, one New Lionsgate Common Share and one Starz Common Share. Such exchange transactions by Old Lionsgate shareholders are collectively referred to as the “Second Share Exchange.”

| • |  | As a result of the steps described above, each of New Lionsgate and Starz have a single class of “one share, one vote” common shares.

| • |  | Following the Second Share Exchange, the Starz Common Shares were consolidated on a 15-to-1 basis, such that every fifteen (15) Starz Common Shares were consolidated into one (1) Starz Common Share.

| • |  | Legacy LG Studios shareholders, other than New Lionsgate and dissenting shareholders, received, in exchange for each LG Studios common share, without par value (“Legacy LG Studios Common Shares”), they held, a number of New Lionsgate Common Shares equal to the product of the LG Studios

| Consideration Shares divided by the total number of Legacy LG Studios Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Arrangement Effective Time (as defined in the Arrangement Agreement) and held by Legacy LG Studios shareholders other than LG Sirius (such shares, the “LG Studios Flip Shares” and such ratio, the “LG Studios Reorganization Ratio”). The LG Studios Consideration Shares equals the aggregate number of Legacy LG Studios Common Shares obtained when the LG Studios Flip Percentage is multiplied by the quotient of (a) the aggregate number of New Lionsgate Common Shares issued to New Lionsgate shareholders (formerly Old Lionsgate shareholders) in the Second Share Exchange divided by (b) 1 minus the LG Studios Flip Percentage. The LG Studios Flip Percentage equals the quotient, expressed as a percentage, of (1) the LG Studios Flip Shares divided by (2) the total number of Legacy LG Studios Common Shares issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Arrangement Effective Time (as defined in the Arrangement Agreement). The LG Studios Reorganization Ratio was determined to be 0.989632. Such transactions by LG Studios shareholders are collectively referred to as the “LG Studios Flip.”

Following completion of the Transactions, New Lionsgate Common Shares, began trading under the symbol “LION” on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) and Starz Common Shares began trading under the symbol “STRZ” on the Nasdaq Global Select Market (“NASDAQ”).

The issuance of Starz Common Shares in connection with the Transactions was registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, pursuant to the registration statement on Form S-4 (File No. 333-282630-02) initially filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on October 15, 2024, as amended by Amendment No. 1 as filed with the SEC on November 27, 2024, as amended by Amendment No. 2 as filed with the SEC on December 31, 2024, as amended by Amendment No. 3 as filed with the SEC on January 27, 2025, as amended by Amendment No.4 as filed with the SEC on February 24, 2025, as amended by Amendment No. 5 as filed with the SEC on March 13, 2025 (as so amended, the “Registration Statement”), by New Lionsgate and Starz, and declared effective on March 14, 2025.
