At all times prior to the completion of the Separation Transactions (as defined below), Starz is hereinafter referred to as Old Lionsgate. The Arrangement Agreement provided for the implementation of a plan of arrangement (the "Plan of Arrangement") that resulted in the separation of the motion picture and television studio operations (the "LG Studios Business"), from the other businesses of Old Lionsgate, including the STARZ-branded premium subscription platforms (the "Starz Business"), through a series of transactions (the "Separation Transactions") that resulted in the pre-transaction shareholders of Old Lionsgate owning shares in two separately traded public companies: (1) Starz, which holds, directly and through subsidiaries, the Starz Business, and (2) the Issuer, which holds, directly and through subsidiaries, the LG Studios Business. In connection with the completion of the Separation Transactions, among other things, each outstanding Class A voting common share of Old Lionsgate held by the Reporting Persons and their respective affiliates pre-completion was converted, through a series of steps, into one and twelve one-hundredths (1.12) Common Shares of the Issuer and each outstanding Class B common share of Old Lionsgate held by the Reporting Persons and their respective affiliates pre-completion was converted, through a series of steps, into one Common Share of the Issuer.

In addition to the foregoing, certain of the Reporting Persons are pursuing various alternatives with respect to the Issuer's securities in order to create liquidity opportunities for limited partners of certain of such Reporting Persons. Among the alternatives being pursued, such Reporting Persons are considering forming a continuation vehicle or other special purpose vehicle that would continue to be controlled by certain of the Reporting Persons that would enable existing limited partners to achieve liquidity or continue their indirect investment in the Issuer, making an in-kind distribution to certain limited partners of certain of such Reporting Persons, or effecting a public or private transaction. The timing, and whether and how these alternatives can be effected, will depend on transaction and market terms and conditions, as well as legal, regulatory and other factors. The Reporting Persons reserve the right to and may, from time to time and at any time, in their sole discretion, formulate and implement other purposes, plans or proposals regarding the Issuer or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates or any of their equity or debt securities or instruments that relate to or would result in the occurrence of any of the transactions described in subparagraphs (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable in their sole discretion.

In connection with the closing of the Separation Transactions, on May 6, 2025, the Issuer, Fund Management and certain of its affiliates, Liberty Global Ventures Limited, a limited company organized under the laws of England and Wales ("Liberty Global") and Liberty Global Ltd., an exempted company limited by shares organized under the laws of Bermuda ("Liberty Parent" and together with Liberty Global, "Liberty"), entered into an amended and restated investor rights agreement (the "LG Studios Investor Rights Agreement"). The LG Studios Investor Rights Agreement provides that (1) for so long as funds affiliated with Fund Management beneficially own at least 10,000,000 Common Shares in the aggregate, the Issuer will include three designees of Fund Management (at least one of whom will be an independent director and will be subject to approval of the Issuer's board) on its slate of director nominees for election at each future annual meeting of the Issuer's shareholders, (2) for so long as funds affiliated with Fund Management beneficially own at least 7,500,000, but less than 10,000,000, Common Shares in the aggregate, the Issuer will include two designees of Fund Management on its slate of director nominees for election at each future annual meeting of the Issuer's shareholders, and (3) for so long as funds affiliated with Fund Management beneficially own at least 5,000,000, but less than 7,500,000, Common Shares in the aggregate, the Issuer will include one designee of Fund Management on its slate of director nominees for election at each future annual meeting of the Issuer's shareholders. The initial designees of Fund Management are Dr. Mark H. Rachesky, Emily Fine and John Harkey (who is designated as an independent director). Under the LG Studios Investor Rights Agreement, the Issuer has also agreed to provide Fund Management and Liberty with certain pre-emptive rights on Common Shares of the Issuer (or securities that are convertible or exercisable into or exchangeable for Common Shares) that the Issuer may issue in the future for cash consideration. In connection with the execution of the LG Studios Investor Rights Agreement, on May 6, 2025, the Issuer, Fund Management and certain of its affiliated funds, and Liberty entered into a Voting and Standstill Agreement (the "LG Studios Voting Amendment"). Pursuant to the LG Studios Voting Amendment, Fund Management and Liberty have agreed that for so long as any of them have the right to nominate at least one representative to the Issuer's board, each of them will vote any Common Shares owned by them and their respective controlled affiliates in favor of each of the other's respective director nominees, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Voting and Standstill Agreement. In connection with the closing of the Separation Transactions, on May 6, 2025, the Issuer, and certain affiliates of Fund Management entered into a registration rights agreement (the "LG Studios Registration Rights Agreement"). The LG Studios Registration Rights Agreement provides that the affiliated funds of Fund Management are entitled to two demand registration rights to request that the Issuer register all or a portion of their Common Shares. In addition, in the event that the Issuer proposes to register any of the Issuer's equity securities or securities convertible into or exchangeable for the Issuer's equity securities, either for its own account or for the account of other security holders, the applicable affiliates of Fund Management will be entitled to certain "piggyback" registration rights allowing them to include their shares in such registration, subject to customary limitations. As a result, whenever the Issuer proposes to file a registration statement under the Securities Act, other than with respect to a registration statement on Forms S-4 or S-8 or certain other exceptions, the applicable affiliates of Fund Management will be entitled to notice of the registration and have the right, subject to certain limitations, to include their shares in the registration. The registration rights described above of the applicable affiliates of Fund Management will terminate on the first anniversary of the date that they both (i) beneficially owns less than 28,568,868 Common Shares (which amount represents approximately 10% of the Common Shares outstanding as of May 6, 2025), subject to equitable adjustment and (ii) ceases to have a designated representative on the Issuer's board. The foregoing descriptions of the LG Studios Investor Rights Agreement, the LG Studios Voting Agreement, and the LG Studios Registration Rights Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of such agreements, which are attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1 through Exhibit 99.3 and incorporated herein by reference.
