On March 31, 2023, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. (the “Company”) confidentially submitted a draft registration statement on Form 10 with the Securities Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to the proposed spin-off of the Company’s studio business, consisting of its Television Production and Motion Picture segments. The Company expects the spin-off to be completed on previously communicated timelines, subject to market and other conditions.
This announcement does not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy, any securities. Any offers, solicitations or offers to buy, or any sales of securities will be made in accordance with the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or any applicable exemptions therefrom.
Statements included herein may constitute “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements are not historical facts, and are not guarantees of future performance, condition or results and involve a number of risks and uncertainties, including that the spin-off may not be completed on the timelines or terms anticipated or at all. For information regarding other factors that could cause the Company’s results to vary from expectations, please see the “Risk Factors” section of its filings with the SEC, including its most recent quarterly report on Form 10-Q. Actual results may differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements as a result of a number of factors, including those described from time to time in the Company’s filings with the SEC. The Company undertakes no duty to update any forward-looking statement made herein. All forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof.
