PROXY STATEMENT

FOR ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

We are furnishing this proxy statement in connection with the board of directors’ solicitation of proxies for use at our 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held at 1:00 p.m., local time, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel at 9876 Wilshire Boulevard, Beverly Hills, California 90210, on June 5, 2014, or at any adjournment or postponement of the annual meeting. At the annual meeting, we will ask you to consider and vote on the proposals described in the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The proposals are described in more detail in this proxy statement. We are soliciting proxies from holders of our Series A common stock, par value $0.01 per share (STRZA), and Series B common stock, par value $0.01 per share (STRZB). We refer to STRZA and STRZB together as our common stock.

THE ANNUAL MEETING

Notice and Access of Proxy Materials

We have elected, in accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commission's “Notice and Access” rule, to deliver a Notice of Internet Availability of Proxy Materials (the Notice) to our stockholders and to post our proxy statement and annual report to our stockholders (collectively, the proxy materials) electronically. The Notice is first being mailed to our stockholders on or about April 22, 2014. The proxy materials will first be made available to our stockholders on or about the same date.

The Notice instructs you how to access and review the proxy materials and how to submit your proxy via the Internet or by telephone. The Notice also instructs you how to request and receive a paper copy of the proxy materials, including a proxy card or voting instruction form, at no charge. We will not mail a paper copy of the proxy materials to you unless specifically requested to do so.

Electronic Delivery

Registered stockholders may elect to receive future notices and proxy materials by e-mail. To sign up for electronic delivery, go to www.computershare.com/investor. Beneficial holders may sign up for electronic delivery when voting by Internet at www.proxyvote.com, by following the prompts. Once you sign up, you will not receive a printed copy of the notices and proxy materials, unless you request them. You may suspend electronic delivery of the notices and proxy materials at any time by contacting our transfer agent, Computershare, at 1-866-367-6355 (outside the United States 1-781-575-3400). Stockholders who hold shares through a bank, brokerage firm or other nominee may request electronic access by contacting their nominee.

Time, Date and Place

The annual meeting of the stockholders is to be held at 1:00 p.m., local time, on June 5, 2014, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel at 9876 Wilshire Boulevard, Beverly Hills, California 90210.

Purpose

At the annual meeting, you will be asked to consider and vote on each of the following:

• the election of directors proposal, to elect Christopher P. Albrecht, Daniel E. Sanchez and Robert S. Wiesenthal to continue serving as Class I members of our board until the 2017 annual meeting of stockholders or their earlier resignation or removal; and

• the auditors ratification proposal, to ratify the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.

You may also be asked to consider and vote on such other business as may be properly brought before the meeting.

1

Quorum

In order to carry on the business of the annual meeting, a quorum must be present. This means that at least a majority of the aggregate voting power represented by the shares of our common stock outstanding on the record date for the annual meeting must be represented at the annual meeting either in person or by proxy. For purposes of determining a quorum, your shares will be included as represented at the meeting even if your proxy indicates that you abstain from voting. If a broker, who is a record holder of shares, indicates on a form of proxy that the broker does not have discretionary authority to vote those shares on a particular proposal or proposals, or if those shares are voted in circumstances in which proxy authority is defective or has been withheld, those shares (broker non-votes) nevertheless will be treated as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. See “—Voting Procedures for Shares Held in Street Name—Effect of Broker Non-Votes” below.

Who May Vote

Holders of shares of our common stock, as recorded in our stock register as of 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on April 10, 2014 (such date and time, the record date for the annual meeting), may vote at the annual meeting or at any adjournment or postponement thereof.

Votes Required

Each director nominee who receives a plurality of the affirmative votes of the outstanding shares of our common stock that are entitled to vote at the annual meeting and are voted in person or by proxy, voting together as a single class, will be elected to office.

Approval of the auditors ratification proposal requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the aggregate voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock that are present in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote at the annual meeting, voting together as a single class.

Votes You Have

At the annual meeting, holders of shares of STRZA will have one vote per share and holders of shares of STRZB will have ten votes per share, in each case, that our records show are owned as of the record date.

Shares Outstanding

As of the record date, an aggregate of 99,287,905 shares of STRZA and 9,872,737 shares of STRZB were issued and outstanding and entitled to vote at the annual meeting.

Number of Holders

There were, as of the record date, approximately 1,578 and 92 record holders of STRZA and STRZB, respectively (which amounts do not include the number of stockholders whose shares are held of record by banks, brokers or other nominees, but include each such institution as one holder).

Voting Procedures for Record Holders

Holders of record of our common stock as of the record date may vote in person at the annual meeting. Alternatively, they may submit a proxy by telephone or through the Internet or they may complete, sign and return a paper proxy card. Instructions for voting by telephone or through the Internet and how to obtain a paper proxy card are printed on the Notice. Unless subsequently revoked, shares of our common stock represented by a proxy submitted as described herein and received at or before the annual meeting will be voted in accordance with the instructions on the proxy.

YOUR VOTE IS IMPORTANT. It is recommended that you vote by telephone, through the Internet or by mail even if you plan to attend the annual meeting. You may change your vote at the annual meeting.

If you submit a proxy without indicating any voting instructions as to a proposal enumerated in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the shares represented by the proxy will be voted “FOR” the approval of that proposal.

If you submit a proxy in which you indicate that you abstain from voting as to a proposal, it will have no effect if the proposal is the election of directors proposal, and it will have the same effect as a vote “AGAINST” the auditors ratification proposal.

2

If you do not submit a proxy or you do not vote in person at the annual meeting, your shares will not be counted as present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum, and your failure to vote will have no effect on determining whether any of the proposals is approved (assuming a quorum is present).

Voting Procedures for Shares Held in Street Name

General. If you hold your shares in the name of a broker, bank or other nominee, you should follow the instructions provided by your broker, bank or other nominee to vote your shares or to grant or revoke a proxy. The rules and regulations of the New York Stock Exchange and The Nasdaq Stock Market prohibit brokers, banks and other nominees from voting shares on behalf of their clients with respect to numerous matters, including, in our case, the election of directors proposal. Accordingly, to ensure your shares held in street name are voted on these matters, we encourage you to provide promptly specific voting instructions to your broker, bank or other nominee.

Effect of Broker Non-Votes. Broker non-votes are counted as shares of our common stock present and entitled to vote for purposes of determining a quorum but will have no effect on any of the proposals. You should follow the directions your broker, bank or other nominee provides to you regarding how to vote your shares of common stock or how to change your vote or revoke your proxy.

Revoking a Proxy

If you submitted a proxy prior to the start of the annual meeting, you may change your vote by voting in person at the annual meeting or by delivering a signed proxy revocation or a new signed proxy with a later date to Starz, c/o Computershare Investor Services at the following address: (1) if by mail, P.O. Box 30170, College Station, Texas 77842; and (2) if by courier, 211 Quality Circle, Suite 210, College Station, Texas 77845. Any signed proxy revocation or new signed proxy must be received before the start of the annual meeting. In addition, you may change your vote through the Internet or by telephone (if you originally voted by the corresponding method) not later than 1:00 a.m., New York City time, on June 5, 2014.

Your attendance at the annual meeting will not, by itself, revoke a prior vote or proxy from you.

If your shares are held in an account by a broker, bank or other nominee, you should contact your nominee to change your vote or revoke your proxy.

Solicitation of Proxies

We are soliciting proxies on behalf of our board of directors. In addition to the Notice of Internet Availability, our employees may solicit proxies personally or by telephone. We will pay the cost of soliciting these proxies. We will also reimburse brokers and other nominees for their expenses in sending the proxy materials to you and getting your voting instructions.

Other Matters to Be Voted on at the Annual Meeting

Our board of directors is not currently aware of any business to be acted on at the annual meeting other than that which is described in the Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders and this proxy statement. If, however, other matters are properly brought to a vote at the annual meeting, the persons designated as proxies will have discretion to vote or to act on these matters according to their best judgment, unless you indicate otherwise in your proxy. In the event there is a proposal to adjourn or postpone the annual meeting, the persons designated as proxies will have discretion to vote on that proposal.

Security Ownership of Management

The following table sets forth information with respect to the ownership by each of our directors and named executive officers and by all of our directors and executive officers as a group of shares of each series of our common stock. The security ownership information is given as of March 31, 2014, and, in the case of percentage ownership information, is based upon (1) 99,229,135 STRZA shares and (2) 9,872,737 STRZB shares, in each case, outstanding on that date. The percentage voting power is presented in the table below on an aggregate basis for all series of common stock.

Shares of restricted stock that have been granted pursuant to our incentive plans are included in the outstanding share numbers, for purposes of the table below and throughout this proxy statement. Shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of options, warrants and convertible securities that were exercisable or convertible on or within 60 days after March 31, 2014, are deemed to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding the options, warrants or convertible securities for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person and for the aggregate percentage owned by the directors and named executive officers as a group, but are not treated as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other individual person. For purposes of the following presentation, beneficial ownership of shares of STRZB, though convertible on a one-for-one basis into shares of STRZA, are reported as beneficial ownership of STRZB only, and not as beneficial ownership of STRZA. So far as is known to us, the persons indicated below have sole voting and dispositive power with respect to the shares indicated as owned by them, except as otherwise stated in the notes to the table.

The number of shares indicated as owned by the persons in the table includes interests in shares held by the Liberty Media 401(k) Savings Plan as of March 31, 2014. The shares held by the trustee of the Liberty Media 401(k) Savings Plan for the benefit of these persons are voted as directed by such persons.

PROPOSAL 2—THE AUDITORS RATIFICATION PROPOSAL

We are asking our stockholders to ratify the selection of KPMG LLP as our independent auditors for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2014.

10

Even if the selection of KPMG LLP is ratified, the audit committee of our board of directors in its discretion may direct the appointment of a different independent accounting firm at any time during the year if our audit committee determines that such a change would be advisable. In the event our stockholders fail to ratify the selection of KPMG LLP, our audit committee will consider it as a direction to select other auditors for the year ending December 31, 2014.

A representative of KPMG LLP is expected to be present at the annual meeting, will have the opportunity to make a statement if he or she so desires and is expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Audit Fees and All Other Fees

The following table presents fees for professional audit services rendered by KPMG LLP and its international affiliates for the audit of our consolidated financial statements for 2013 and 2012 and the separate financial statements of two of our subsidiaries, and fees billed for other services rendered by KPMG LLP. The following does not reflect fees paid by Old LMC to KPMG LLP:

	2013		2012
Audit fees(1)		$1,155,041		$989,708
Audit related fees(2)	116,683		327,491
Audit and audit related fees	1,271,724		1,317,199
Tax fees	42,076		22,097
Total fees		$1,313,800		$1,339,296

(1) Audit fees include fees for the audit and quarterly reviews of our 2013 and 2012 consolidated financial statements and the audit of the 2013 and 2012 consolidated financial statements of two of our subsidiaries.

(2) Audit related fees include fees billed in the respective periods for debt compliance certificates, reviews of debt offerings and registration statements and for professional consultations with respect to accounting issues affecting our financial statements.

Our audit committee has considered whether the provision of services by KPMG LLP to our company other than auditing is compatible with KPMG LLP maintaining its independence and believes that the provision of such other services is compatible with KPMG LLP maintaining its independence.

Policy on Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Auditor

Our audit committee has adopted a policy regarding the pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services provided by our independent auditor. Pursuant to this policy, our audit committee has approved the engagement of our independent auditor to provide the following services (all of which are collectively referred to as pre-approved services):

• audit services as specified in the policy, including (i) financial audits of our company and our subsidiaries, (ii) services associated with registration statements, periodic reports and other documents filed or issued in connection with securities offerings (including comfort letters and consents), (iii) attestations of management reports on our internal controls and (iv) consultations with management as to accounting or disclosure treatment of transactions;

• audit related services as specified in the policy, including (i) due diligence services, (ii) financial statement audits of employee benefit plans, (iii) consultations with management as to the accounting or disclosure treatment of transactions, (iv) attest services not required by statute or regulation, (v) certain audits incremental to the audit of our consolidated financial statements, (vi) closing balance sheet audits related to dispositions, and (vii) general assistance with implementation of the requirements of certain SEC rules or listing standards; and

• tax services as specified in the policy, including federal, state, local and international tax planning, compliance and review services, and tax due diligence and advice regarding mergers and acquisitions.

Notwithstanding the foregoing general pre-approval, if an individual project involving the provision of pre-approved services is expected to result in fees in excess of $100,000, or if individual projects under $100,000 are expected to total $500,000 during the period between the regularly scheduled meetings of the audit committee, then such projects will require the specific pre-approval of our audit committee. Our audit committee has delegated the authority for the foregoing approvals to the chairman of the audit committee, subject to his subsequent disclosure to the entire audit committee of the granting of any such approval. Robert S. Wiesenthal currently serves as the chairman of our audit committee. In addition, the

11

independent auditor is required to provide a report at each regularly scheduled audit committee meeting on all pre-approved services incurred during the preceding quarter. Any engagement of our independent auditors for services other than the pre-approved services requires the specific approval of our audit committee.

Our pre-approval policy prohibits the engagement of our independent auditor to provide any services that are subject to the prohibition imposed by Section 201 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act.

Vote and Recommendation

The affirmative vote of a majority of the aggregate voting power of the outstanding shares of our common stock that are present in person or by proxy, and entitled to vote at the annual meeting, voting together as a single class, is required to approve the auditors ratification proposal.

Our board of directors unanimously recommends a vote “FOR” the auditors ratification proposal.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (Exchange Act), requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of a registered class of our equity securities, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than ten-percent stockholders are required by SEC regulation to furnish us with copies of all Section 16 forms they file.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our executive officers, directors and greater than ten-percent beneficial owners were met with the exception of one Form 4 reporting four transactions filed late by Mr. Edward Huguez, who was an officer of Starz at the time of filing the Form 4.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a code of ethics that applies to all of our employees, directors and officers, which constitutes our “code of ethics” within the meaning of Section 406 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act. Our code of ethics is available on our website at www.starz.com.

Director Independence

It is our policy that a majority of the members of our board of directors be independent of our management. For a director to be deemed independent, our board of directors must affirmatively determine that the director has no direct or indirect material relationship with us. To assist our board of directors in determining which of our directors qualify as independent for purposes of Nasdaq rules as well as applicable rules and regulations adopted by the SEC, the nominating and corporate governance committee of our board of directors follows the Corporate Governance Rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market on the criteria for director independence.

Our board of directors has determined that each of Irving L. Azoff, Andrew T. Heller, Susan M. Lyne, Jeffrey F. Sagansky and Robert S. Wiesenthal qualifies as an independent director of our company, and previously determined that Derek Chang, prior to his resignation from the board of directors, qualified as an independent director of our company.

Board Composition

As described above under “Proposals of Our Board—Proposal 1—The Election of Directors Proposal,” our board is comprised of directors with a broad range of backgrounds and skill sets, including in media and telecommunications, investment banking, legal practice and music entertainment. Our board is also chronologically diverse with our members’ ages spanning three decades. For more information on our policies with respect to board candidates, see “—Committees of the Board of Directors—Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee” below.

Board Leadership Structure

Our board has separated the positions of Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer (principal executive officer). Gregory B. Maffei holds the position of Chairman, leads our board and board meetings and provides strategic guidance to our Chief Executive Officer. Christopher P. Albrecht holds the position of Chief Executive Officer, leads our management team and is responsible for driving the performance of our company. We believe this division of responsibility effectively assists our board in fulfilling its duties.

Board Role in Risk Oversight

The board as a whole has responsibility for risk oversight, with reviews of certain areas being conducted by the relevant board committees. Our audit committee oversees management of financial risks and risks relating to potential conflicts of interest. Our compensation committee is responsible for overseeing the management of risks relating to the compensation arrangements of our senior executives, and our nominating and corporate governance committee manages risks associated with the independence of the board. These committees then provide reports periodically to the full board. The oversight responsibility of the board and its committees is enabled by management reporting processes that are designed to provide visibility to the board about the identification, assessment, and management of critical risks. These areas of focus include strategic, operational, financial and reporting, succession and compensation, legal and compliance, and other risks. Our management reporting processes include regular reports from our Chief Executive Officer, which are prepared with input from our senior management team and our internal auditors.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

No member of our compensation committee is or has been an officer or employee of our company, or has engaged in any related party transaction in which our company was a participant.

Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee

Our board of directors has established a nominating and corporate governance committee whose chairman is Andrew T. Heller and whose other members are Irving L. Azoff and Susan M. Lyne. See “—Director Independence” above.

The nominating and corporate governance committee identifies individuals qualified to become board members consistent with criteria established or approved by our board of directors from time to time, identifies director nominees for upcoming annual meetings, develops corporate governance guidelines applicable to our company and oversees the evaluation of our board and management.

The nominating and corporate governance committee will consider candidates for director recommended by any stockholder provided that such nominations are properly submitted. Eligible stockholders wishing to recommend a candidate for nomination as a director should send the recommendation in writing to the Corporate Secretary, Starz, 8900 Liberty Circle, Englewood, Colorado 80112. Stockholder recommendations must be made in accordance with our bylaws, as discussed under “Stockholder Proposals” below, and contain the following information:

• the name and address of the proposing stockholder and the beneficial owner, if any, on whose behalf the nomination is being made, and documentation indicating the number of shares of our common stock owned

14

beneficially and of record by such person and the holder or holders of record of those shares, together with a statement that the proposing stockholder is recommending a candidate for nomination as a director;

• the candidate’s name, age, business and residence addresses, principal occupation or employment, business experience, educational background and any other information relevant in light of the factors considered by the nominating and corporate governance committee in making a determination of a candidate’s qualifications, as described below;

• a statement detailing any relationship, arrangement or understanding between the proposing stockholder and/or beneficial owner and any other person(s) (including their names) under which the proposing stockholder is making the nomination;

• a statement detailing any relationship, arrangement or understanding that might affect the independence of the candidate as a member of our board of directors;

• any other information that would be required under SEC rules in a proxy statement soliciting proxies for the election of such candidate as a director;

• a representation as to whether the proposing stockholder intends (or is part of a group that intends) to deliver any proxy materials or otherwise solicit proxies in support of the director nominee;

• a representation that the proposing stockholder is a holder of record of our common stock entitled to vote at the annual stockholders meeting and intends to appear in person or by proxy at the annual stockholders meeting at which the person named in such notice is to stand for election;

• a signed consent of the candidate to be named in the proxy statement and to serve as a director, if nominated and elected;

• a representation as to whether the proposing stockholder has received any financial assistance, funding or other consideration from any other person regarding the nomination (a Stockholder Associated Person) (including the details of such assistance, funding or consideration); and

• a representation as to whether and the extent to which any hedging, derivative or other transactions has been entered into with respect to our company within the last six months by, or is in effect with respect to, the proposing stockholder, any person to be nominated by the proposing stockholder or any Stockholder Associated Person, the effect or intent of which transaction is to mitigate loss to or manage risk or benefit of share price changes for, or increase or decrease the voting power of, the proposing stockholder, its nominee, or any such Stockholder Associated Person.

In connection with its evaluation, the nominating and corporate governance committee may request additional information from the proposing stockholder and the candidate. The nominating and corporate governance committee has sole discretion to decide which individuals to recommend for nomination as directors.

To be nominated to serve as a director, a nominee need not meet any specific minimum criteria. However, the nominating and corporate governance committee believes that nominees for director should possess the highest personal and professional ethics, integrity, values and judgment and should be committed to the long-term interests of our stockholders. When evaluating a potential director nominee, including one recommended by a stockholder, the nominating and corporate governance committee will take into account a number of factors, including, but not limited to, the following:

• independence from management;

• his or her unique background, including education, professional experience and relevant skill sets;

• judgment, skill, integrity and reputation;

• existing commitments to other businesses as a director, executive or owner;

• personal conflicts of interest, if any; and

• the size and composition of the existing board of directors, including whether the potential director nominee would positively impact the composition of the board by bringing a new perspective or viewpoint to the board of directors.

The nominating and corporate governance committee does not assign specific weights to particular criteria and no particular criterion is necessarily applicable to all prospective nominees. The nominating and corporate governance committee does not

15

have a formal policy with respect to diversity; however, our board and the nominating and corporate governance committee believe that it is essential that our board members represent diverse viewpoints.

When seeking candidates for director, the nominating and corporate governance committee may solicit suggestions from incumbent directors, management, stockholders and others. After conducting an initial evaluation of a prospective nominee, the nominating and corporate governance committee will interview that candidate if it believes the candidate might be suitable to be a director. The nominating and corporate governance committee may also ask the candidate to meet with management. If the nominating and corporate governance committee believes a candidate would be a valuable addition to our board of directors, it may recommend to the full board that candidate’s nomination and election.

Prior to nominating an incumbent director for re-election at an annual meeting of stockholders, the nominating and corporate governance committee will consider the director’s past attendance at, and participation in, meetings of the board of directors and its committees and the director’s formal and informal contributions to the various activities conducted by the board and the board committees of which such individual is a member.

The members of our nominating and corporate governance committee have determined that Messrs. Albrecht, Sanchez and Wiesenthal, who are nominated for election at the annual meeting, continue to be qualified to serve as directors of our company and such nomination was approved by the entire board of directors.

Our board of directors has adopted a written charter for the nominating and corporate governance committee. Our board of directors has also adopted corporate governance guidelines, which were developed by the nominating and corporate governance committee.

Our board of directors has established an audit committee, whose chairman is Robert S. Wiesenthal and whose other members are Andrew T. Heller and Jeffrey F. Sagansky. See “—Director Independence” above.

Our board of directors has determined that Mr. Wiesenthal is an “audit committee financial expert” under applicable SEC rules and regulations. The audit committee reviews and monitors the corporate financial reporting and the internal and external audits of our company. The audit committee’s functions include, among other things:

• appointing or replacing our independent auditors;

• reviewing and approving in advance the scope and the fees of our annual audit and reviewing the results of our audits with our independent auditors;

• reviewing and approving in advance the scope and the fees of non-audit services of our independent auditors;

• reviewing compliance with and the adequacy of our existing significant accounting and financial policies;

• reviewing our management’s procedures and policies relating to the adequacy of our internal accounting controls and compliance with applicable laws relating to accounting practices;

• confirming compliance with applicable SEC and stock exchange rules; and

• preparing a report for our annual proxy statement.

Our board of directors has adopted a written charter for the audit committee, which is available on our website at www.starz.com.

Audit Committee Report

Each member of the audit committee is an independent director as determined by our board of directors, based on the listing standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market. Each member of the audit committee also satisfies the SEC’s independence requirements for members of audit committees. Mr. Wiesenthal is the company’s “audit committee financial expert” under applicable SEC rules and regulations.

The audit committee reviews our financial reporting process on behalf of our board of directors. Management has primary responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal controls, for preparing financial statements and for the public reporting process. Our independent auditor, KPMG LLP, is responsible for expressing opinions on the conformity of our audited consolidated financial statements with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Our independent auditor also expresses its opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting.

16

Our audit committee has reviewed and discussed with management and KPMG LLP our most recent audited consolidated financial statements, as well as management’s assessment of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting and KPMG’s evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. Our audit committee has also discussed with KPMG the matters required to be discussed by the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, as amended (AICPA, Professional Standards, Vol. 1, AU section 380), as adopted by the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board in Rule 3200T, Communications With Audit Committees, plus the additional matters required to be discussed by the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 114, The Auditor’s Communication with Those Charged with Governance, as modified or supplemented, including that firm’s judgment about the quality of our accounting principles, as applied in our financial reporting.

KPMG has provided our audit committee with the written disclosures and the letter required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding KPMG’s communications with the audit committee concerning independence, and the audit committee has discussed with KPMG that firm’s independence from the company and its subsidiaries.

Based on the reviews, discussions and other considerations referred to above, our audit committee recommended to our board of directors that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, which was filed on February 21, 2014 with the SEC.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

This section sets forth information relating to, and an analysis and discussion of, compensation paid to the following persons (who we refer to as our named executive officers) who served in the following capacities with Starz (unless otherwise noted), as of December 31, 2013:

• Christopher P. Albrecht, Chief Executive Officer;

• Scott D. Macdonald, Chief Financial Officer, Executive Vice President and Treasurer;

• J. Steven Beabout, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary;

• Glenn E. Curtis, President;

• Carmi D. Zlotnik, Managing Director, Starz Entertainment and Starz Media.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview

In January 2013, our company (formerly known as Liberty Media Corporation, Old LMC), completed the spin-off (the LMC Spin-Off) of Liberty Media, our then wholly-owned subsidiary (formerly known as Liberty Spinco, Inc.).

The 2013 compensation of our Chief Executive Officer was determined by Old LMC and its Chief Executive Officer, Gregory B. Maffei, prior to the LMC Spin-Off, and is governed by the terms of his employment agreement. See “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Christopher P. Albrecht” below for more information. Following the LMC Spin-Off, the Starz compensation committee assumed the responsibility of establishing, implementing and regularly monitoring adherence to our compensation philosophy for all of our named executive officers, including our Chief Executive Officer.

Philosophy; Setting Executive Compensation

The compensation philosophy adopted by our compensation committee seeks to align the interests of our named executive officers with those of our stockholders, with the ultimate goal of appropriately motivating and rewarding our executives in order to increase our stockholder value. Accordingly, we believe that our compensation packages should assist our company in attracting, retaining and motivating key executives critical to our long-term success. To that end, the compensation packages provided to the named executive officers seek to maintain the appropriate balance among short-term and long-term compensation, cash and equity compensation and performance-based compensation. At our 2013 annual stockholders meeting, stockholders representing 74.2% of the aggregate voting power present and entitled to vote on the say-on-pay proposal approved, on an advisory basis, our executive compensation, as disclosed in the proxy statement for the 2013 annual meeting of stockholders. No material changes were implemented to our executive compensation program as a result of this vote. Advisory votes on executive compensation will be held every three years based on the say-on-frequency votes that were cast at the 2013 annual meeting.

We believe that each named executive officer should receive a compensation package that is commensurate with the responsibilities and proven performance of that executive and competitive relative to the compensation packages paid to similarly situated executives at companies in our industry. In that regard, our compensation committee reviewed trend information and reports prepared by Pearl Meyer & Partners, LLC (Pearl Meyer) (a compensation consulting firm retained by our management team in connection with the LMC Spin-Off), as a guide to ensure that the compensation packages of our named executive officers (other than Mr. Albrecht’s, which is governed by his employment agreement) are reasonable as compared to our industry peers. The reports referenced compensation data gathered from publicly-traded media companies described in the table below, and compared job positions of our named executive officers and other senior executives against corresponding positions and compensation in the survey data, relative to job responsibilities and revenue scope.

Publicly Traded Media Companies
Activision Blizzard, Inc.	The Madison Square Garden Company
AMC Networks Inc.	Netflix, Inc.
Crown Media Holdings Inc.	Scripps Networks Interactive, Inc.
Discovery Communications, Inc.	Sirius XM Holdings Inc.
DreamWorks Animation SKG Inc.	Take-Two Interactive Software, Inc.
Lions Gate Entertainment Inc.	THQ Inc.

Utilizing this data, in the first quarter of 2013, our compensation committee evaluated the amount and proportions of base pay, annual incentive pay and long-term compensation, as well as the targeted total compensation value, for each of our named executive officers (other than for Mr. Albrecht because his compensation is governed by his employment agreement) relative to the compensation of similarly situated executives among the comparison groups. Our compensation committee did not seek to apply any specific benchmarking methodology rather they took this comparable data into account as part of their total mix of available information.

Later in 2013, our compensation committee engaged its own compensation consultant, Towers Watson Delaware Inc. (Towers Watson), to assist it in establishing a severance plan for certain employees, including our named executive officers (other than Mr. Albrecht). Based on market and survey data gathered by Towers Watson and presented to the compensation committee, a new severance plan was adopted by our company. See “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Severance Plan” for more information. Towers Watson also provided the compensation committee with reports referencing compensation data gathered from publicly-traded media companies and published surveys listed in the table below, with respect to comparably situated executives.

The compensation committee took this data into consideration in determining the amount and types of annual equity incentive awards to grant in the fourth quarter of 2013. For more information about these awards, see “—Elements of 2013 Executive Compensation—Equity Incentive Compensation” below.

The 2013 compensation package of our Chief Executive Officer was not based on any comparable analysis or the reports of any compensation consultant; rather, it was based on the familiarity of Mr. Maffei and the Old LMC compensation committee with the range of total compensation paid by companies of similar size and complexity within our industry.

Role of Chief Executive Officer in Compensation Decisions

In designing the compensation packages of our named executive officers (other than our Chief Executive Officer), recommendations were obtained from our Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Albrecht’s recommendations were based on his evaluation of the performance and contributions of the other named executive officers, given their respective areas of responsibility. When making recommendations, our Chief Executive Officer considers various qualitative factors such as:

• the named executive officer’s experience and overall effectiveness;

• the named executive officer’s performance against individual performance goals;

19

• the responsibilities of the named executive officer, including any changes to those responsibilities over the year;

• the named executive officer’s demonstrated leadership and management ability;

• the named executive officer’s historical compensation relative to other executives at our company with similar, greater or lesser responsibilities;

• the named executive officer’s historical compensation relative to compensation paid to similarly situated executives at companies within our industry;

• the named executive officer’s years of service with us; and

• the performance of any group for which the named executive officer is primarily responsible.

Elements of 2013 Executive Compensation

For 2013 the principal components of compensation for the named executive officers were:

• base salary;

• a performance-based bonus, payable in cash;

• a grant of equity incentive awards;

• deferred compensation arrangements.

Base Salary. The base salaries of the named executive officers are reviewed on an annual basis (other than for Mr. Albrecht, whose salary is governed by his employment agreement), as well as at the time of any change in responsibilities. Typically, after establishing a named executive officer’s base salary, salary increases are limited to adjustments based on an evaluation of such named executive officer’s job performance, any changes in the scope of such named executive officer’s responsibilities, and such named executive officer’s salary level compared to other named executive officers. Pursuant to the terms of Mr. Albrecht’s employment agreement, Mr. Albrecht’s salary was increased 25% effective January 1, 2013. The base salaries of Messrs. Curtis and Macdonald were increased in 2013 by approximately 13-17% based upon the trend information and reports prepared by Pearl Meyer for comparable industry peers of each such named executive officer’s position. These salary increases were effective in March 2013.

2013 Performance-based Bonuses. For 2013, we adopted an annual, performance-based bonus program for our employees, including each of our named executive officers. The program was adopted and approved in 2013 by our compensation committee. Pursuant to the program, each participant is assigned a target annual bonus award equal to a percentage of the employee’s annual base salary based on the applicable employee's position and responsibilities. The payment of any bonus awards under the program was subject to Starz achieving a minimum percentage of budgeted revenue and Adjusted OIBDA for 2013. In calculating the performance-based bonuses payable to our named executive officers, we define (i) revenue as actual revenue less revenue attributable to The Weinstein Company distribution agreement (Weinstein Agreement) plus the distribution fee attributable to the Weinstein Agreement, and (ii) Adjusted OIBDA as revenue less programming costs, production and acquisition costs, home video cost of sales, operating expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses. We consider these performance measures to be key measures of our operating performance. Potential payouts under the program range from a threshold payout of 50% of the targeted bonus amount if the actual performance metrics equal 85% of the annual budgeted amounts to a maximum payout of 150% of the targeted annual bonus amount if the actual performance metrics equal or exceed 120% of the annual budgeted amounts.The potential payout for each named executive officer is subject to reduction by up to 20% based on individual performance, as determined by our compensation committee, in its sole discretion.

With respect to the 2013 program, target bonuses (expressed as a percentage of annual base salary, calculated using the named executive officer’s actual base salary for January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2013) for Messrs. Albrecht, Beabout, Curtis, Macdonald and Zlotnik were as follows: Mr. Albrecht: 100%, Mr. Beabout: 50%, Mr. Curtis: 90%, Mr. Macdonald: 70%, and Mr. Zlotnik: 50%. We achieved actual revenue, as defined, of $1,580.3 million (which was 102.1% of the budgeted amount of $1,547.9 million) and Adjusted OIBDA of $476.9 million (which was 106.0% of the budgeted amount of $450.0 million) for the year ended December 31, 2013. Following the determination of the total potential payout for each named executive officer, our compensation committee exercised its discretion to establish the actual bonus amount payable to each named executive officer.

For more information on these awards, see “—Grants of Plan-Based Awards” below.

Changes in 2014.  In 2014, our compensation committee approved an umbrella bonus pool plan under which 2014 bonuses to all our employees, including our named executive officers, will be paid. The bonus pool amount will equal 5% of our adjusted OIBDA, as defined, for the plan year. Our compensation committee also established individual performance criteria for each of our named executive officers and maximum bonus amounts payable to our named executive officers. Our compensation committee has the discretion to reduce the bonus pool amount at any time, in its sole discretion.

Equity Incentive Compensation. Consistent with our compensation philosophy, we seek to align the interests of our named executive officers with those of our stockholders by awarding stock-based incentive compensation. This ensures that our executives have a continuing stake in our long-term consolidated success.

Our incentive plans (which were assumed by our company in the LMC Spin-Off) provide for the grant of a variety of incentive awards, including stock options, restricted shares, restricted stock units, stock appreciation rights, cash awards and performance awards. Our executives are granted stock options and awards of restricted stock in preference to other awards because of our belief that options and restricted shares better promote retention of key employees through the continuing, long-term nature of an equity investment. The value of the equity incentive awards to be granted are determined in consideration of the overall compensation package to be paid to the named executive officer and in 2013 were approved by the compensation committee of our board of directors.

Stock options are awarded with an exercise price equal to fair market value on the date of grant, measured by reference to the closing sale price on the grant date.

In March 2013, we granted stock options to our named executive officers (including Mr. Albrecht, who received an option grant on March 4, 2013 pursuant to his new employment agreement). These awards were the first equity awards made by our compensation committee following the LMC Spin-Off and were considered an annual grant for 2013 for all of the named executive officers other than Mr. Albrecht. Later in 2013, in connection with reviewing our overall compensation packages for our employees, we made the decision to adopt a policy of making annual equity grants during the fourth quarter of each year. Accordingly, there were two grants of stock options during 2013 as compared to one grant in the prior year. In addition, we began granting restricted shares at the same time as the stock option awards as part of the overall compensation package for our named executive officers. In determining the amount of the equity incentives awarded on December 13, 2013, our compensation committee reviewed our full year actual versus budgeted revenue and Adjusted OIBDA in each case as estimated as of November 30, 2013 and granted awards to each of our named executive officers, other than Mr. Albrecht, with a view to achieving total annual compensation that is competitive with the peer companies as reported by Towers Watson. For more information regarding these equity incentive grants, please see the “—Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End” table below.

Deferred Compensation Plan. The 2007 Starz, LLC Deferred Compensation Plan (as amended and restated) was established to help accommodate the tax and estate planning objectives of a select group of management or highly compensated employees, as determined by the committee administering the plan. Under that plan, participants may elect to defer up to 100% of such employee’s annual base salary and bonus. Compensation deferred under the plan that otherwise would have been received in 2013 earns interest at the rate of 9% per annum, compounded quarterly, for the period of the deferral. For more information on this plan, see “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—2007 Deferred Compensation Plan” and the “—Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Plans” table below.

Employment Arrangements with Certain Named Executive Officers

Mr. Albrecht is the only named executive officer with an employment agreement. For a detailed description of his employment agreement, see “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Christopher P. Albrecht” below.

21

Deductibility of Executive Compensation

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code) generally limits the tax deductibility of compensation paid by a public company to its CEO and certain other highly compensated executive officers who are in office at the end of the fiscal year to $1 million per officer in the year the compensation becomes taxable to the executive, subject to certain exceptions. One such exception is for performance-based compensation that meets certain requirements. Our compensation committee’s policy is to provide annual incentive awards and stock options that are intended to qualify and be fully deductible under Section 162(m) of the Code. However, in order to maintain market competitive compensation programs, our compensation committee has reserved the right to approve incentive and other compensation that may not meet the Section 162(m) performance-based compensation exception. To the extent that such compensation exceeds the $1 million limitation set forth in Section 162(m) of the Code, our compensation committee recognizes that the loss of the tax deduction may be unavoidable under these circumstances. The time-vested restricted shares granted by our compensation committee will not be treated as performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code.

Policy on Restatements

In those instances where we grant equity-based incentive compensation, our policy is to include in the related agreement with the executive a right, in favor of our company, to require the executive to repay or return to the company any stock or other incentive compensation (including proceeds from the disposition of shares received upon exercise of options or stock appreciation rights). That right will arise if (1) a material restatement of any of our financial statements is required and (2) in the reasonable judgment of the compensation committee of our board of directors, (A) such restatement is due to material noncompliance with any financial reporting requirement under applicable securities laws and (B) such noncompliance is a result of misconduct on the part of the executive. In determining the amount of such repayment or return, the compensation committee of our board of directors may take into account, among other factors it deems relevant, the extent to which the market value of the applicable series of our common stock was affected by the errors giving rise to the restatement. The cash, stock or other compensation that we may require the executive to repay or return must have been received by the executive during the 12-month period beginning on the date of the first public issuance or the filing with the SEC, whichever occurs earlier, of the financial statement requiring restatement. The compensation required to be repaid or returned will include (1) cash or our company’s stock received by the executive (A) upon the exercise during that 12-month period of any stock appreciation right held by the executive or (B) upon the payment during that 12-month period of any incentive compensation, the value of which is determined by reference to the value of our company’s stock, and (2) any proceeds received by the executive from the disposition during that 12-month period of our company’s stock received by the executive upon the exercise, vesting or payment during that 12-month period of any award of equity-based incentive compensation.

Executive Compensation Arrangements

Christopher P. Albrecht

Prior to the LMC Spin-Off, the Old LMC compensation committee approved in principle a new compensation arrangement in favor of Mr. Albrecht, providing for, among other things, a new four year employment term beginning January 1, 2013 and ending December 31, 2016 (the Initial Term). Thereafter it will continue from year to year (which is referred to as the Extended Term) until either Mr. Albrecht or Starz provides notice of non-renewal at least 180 days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term of his employment agreement or any Extended Term. His employment agreement was executed in August 2013 (the 2013 Agreement). The 2013 Agreement provides for a base annual salary of $1.25 million and provides that Mr. Albrecht will be eligible for a discretionary annual bonus equal to 100% of his base salary based on corporate and individual performance criteria to be determined by our compensation committee. Pursuant to the 2013 Agreement, Mr. Albrecht is also entitled to participate in group life, health, accident, disability or hospitalization insurance plans and retirement plans and to receive such other benefits and perquisites as we may make available to our other senior executive employees as a group.

As part of the consideration payable to Mr. Albrecht during the term of the 2013 Agreement, Mr. Albrecht was granted options to acquire 3,363,123 shares of our Series A common stock (the 2013 Options). It is not anticipated that any additional equity awards will be granted to Mr. Albrecht during the Initial Term. One-half of the 2013 Options will vest on December 31, 2015, with the remaining 2013 Options vesting on December 31, 2016, in each case, subject to Mr. Albrecht being employed by Starz on the applicable vesting date and to the early vesting events described herein. The 2013 Options have a term of 10 years. If Mr. Albrecht’s employment is terminated by Starz without cause (as defined in the 2013 Agreement) or by Mr. Albrecht for good reason (as defined in the 2013Agreement), the 2013 Options will be deemed to have vested in a number equal to the product of (i) the total number of unvested 2013 Options multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of days elapsed in the vesting term plus 548 days and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the vesting term. Such vested 2013 Options will remain exercisable through the end of their original term.

The 2013 Agreement provides that, in the event Mr. Albrecht is terminated for cause (as defined in the 2013 Agreement) or if Mr. Albrecht terminates his employment without good reason, he will be entitled only to his accrued base salary, accrued but unpaid vacation time, unpaid expenses and any amounts due under applicable law, and he will forfeit all rights to his unvested restricted shares and unvested options. However, pursuant to the award agreements governing Mr. Albrecht’s 2013 Options and stock options granted to Mr. Albrecht in our 2012 option modification program in respect of the options he received in 2009 in connection with his previous employment agreement, which now represent the right to acquire shares of our Series A common stock (the equity awards received by Mr. Albrecht in the option modification program in respect of his 2009 options, the Multi-Year Award), any such vested, unexercised options as of his termination date will remain exercisable for 90 days after his termination or until the original expiration date of the applicable award, if sooner. If Mr. Albrecht is terminated without cause, or if he terminates his employment for good reason, the 2013 Agreement provides

24

for him to receive (a) any accrued base salary and accrued but unpaid vacation time, (b) reimbursement for expenses incurred prior to termination and (c) severance payments consisting of (i) payments representing a continuation of his base salary until the earlier of (A) the date that is 18 months following the date of termination or (B) the date on which the Initial Term or the then-current Extended Term, as applicable, would have expired had the termination not occurred (the Severance Period), which payments would be payable in such amounts and on such dates as such amount otherwise would be payable based on our payroll schedule in effect at the date of termination, and (ii) an amount equal to 1.5 times Mr. Albrecht’s base salary for the year in which the termination without cause or with good reason occurs; provided that if such termination without cause or with good reason occurs during the last 12 months of the term, the amount will be equal to Mr. Albrecht’s base salary for the year in which such termination without cause or with good reason occurs and will be payable in a lump sum within 60 days following the date of termination and will be in complete satisfaction of any bonus Mr. Albrecht may otherwise have been entitled to for any period. In addition, the 2013 Agreement provides that we will contribute the employer portion of Mr. Albrecht’s health and welfare benefits through the earliest of (i) the date that is 18 months following the date of termination, (ii) the expiration of the coverage period specified under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA), or (iii) the date on which the Initial Term or the Extended Term would have expired. In the event Mr. Albrecht’s employment is terminated without cause or with good reason or due to Mr. Albrecht’s disability, payments of amounts to Mr. Albrecht will be subject to the execution and delivery of a severance agreement and release in the form described in the 2013 Agreement. However, if Mr. Albrecht commences any competitive activities (as defined in the 2013 Agreement) or violates certain other conditions in the 2013 Agreement during any severance period following a termination of his employment without cause or with good reason or due to disability, we will have no obligation to make any further severance, health or welfare benefits to Mr. Albrecht (except any release consideration as defined in the 2013 Agreement).

In the case of Mr. Albrecht’s death or his disability, the 2013 Agreement provides for the right to receive any accrued but unpaid base salary or vacation time, reimbursement for incurred expenses, and a lump sum payment equal to a prorated amount of his base salary for the remainder of the term plus a prorated amount of his base salary for the remainder of the fiscal year in which the event occurs. In addition, the award agreement provides for full vesting of all the 2013 Options upon death or disability and those options will not expire until the end of the original term of the 2013 Options.

Equity Incentive Plans

The 2011 Incentive Plan, which was assumed from Old LMC in connection with the LMC Spin-Off, is administered by the compensation committee of our board of directors. Our compensation committee has full power and authority to grant eligible persons the awards described below and to determine the terms and conditions under which any awards are made. The 2011 Incentive Plan is designed to provide additional remuneration to certain employees and independent contractors for exceptional service and to encourage their investment in our company and its subsidiaries. Our compensation committee may grant non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted stock units, cash awards, performance awards or any combination of the foregoing under the 2011 Incentive Plan (collectively, awards).

The maximum number of shares of our common stock with respect to which awards may be issued under the 2011 Incentive Plan is 23,834,000, subject to anti-dilution and other adjustment provisions of the 2011 Incentive Plan. With limited exceptions, under the 2011 Incentive Plan, no person may be granted in any calendar year awards covering more than 7,627,000 shares of our common stock (subject to anti-dilution and other adjustment provisions of the 2011 Incentive Plan) nor may any person receive under the 2011 Incentive Plan payment for cash awards during any calendar year in excess of $10 million. Shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to awards made under the 2011 Incentive Plan are made available from either authorized but unissued shares or shares that have been issued but reacquired by our company. The 2011 Incentive Plan has a 5 year term.

Severance Plan

Our compensation committee approved a severance plan for certain employees of the company, including our named executive officers (other than Mr. Albrecht whose severance is governed by the 2013 Agreement). Under the terms of the severance plan, if the named executive officer’s employment is terminated by reason of a layoff, reduction in force, job elimination or restructuring, the named executive officer will be entitled to an amount equal to 18 months of such person’s base pay, the first six months of which will be paid in a lump sum within 60 days following termination and the balance will be paid in installments pursuant to our regular payroll procedures, starting six months after termination.

Receipt of the severance pay for the named executive officers is subject (to the extent permitted under applicable law in the jurisdiction where the executive is employed) to the execution of a waiver and release agreement, a non-competition agreement, return of all company property and mitigation to the extent the named executive officer obtains

25

subsequent employment. In addition, if the named executive officer breaches his non-competition agreement, we can pursue recoupment of 75% of the amount of severance already paid to the named executive officer plus interest at the rate of 5% (or such lower amount as required by law).

In addition, if a termination of employment giving rise to a right to severance pay as described above occurs within 30 days preceding, or within twelve months following, consummation of a Board Change, Control Purchase or Approved Transaction (as such terms are defined in the 2011 Incentive Plan), or if the named executive officer voluntarily terminates employment for good reason within such time frame, then the severance pay benefits described above will be paid to the named executive officer and such person will also receive the following: (1) an additional lump sum payment equal to a specified percentage of the named executive officer’s base salary for the period during which the severance is paid, and (2) to the extent the named executive officer elects continuation of coverage under COBRA under our health plan, we will provide certain COBRA benefits for up to 18 months.

2007 Deferred Compensation Plan

Under the Starz, LLC Deferred Compensation Plan (as amended and restated, the 2007 deferred compensation plan), a select group of management or highly compensated employees as determined by the committee administering the plan may elect to defer up to 100% of such employee’s annual base salary and bonus. Elections must be made in advance of certain deadlines and may include (1) the selection of a payment date, which generally may not be later than 30 years from the end of the year in which the applicable compensation is initially deferred, and (2) the form of distribution, such as a lump-sum payment or substantially equal annual installments over two to five years. Compensation deferred under the 2007 deferred compensation plan earns interest at the rate of 9% per year, compounded quarterly at the end of each calendar quarter.

In addition to the accelerated distribution events described under “—Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below, at the eligible officer’s request, if the committee determines that such officer has suffered a financial hardship, it may authorize immediate distribution of amounts deferred under the 2007 deferred compensation plan.

The 2007 deferred compensation plan may be terminated at any time. An optional termination by Starz, LLC will not result in any distribution acceleration.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

The following table sets forth the potential payments to our named executive officers if their employment had terminated or a change in control had occurred, in each case, as of December 31, 2013. In the event of such a termination or change in control, the actual amounts may be different due to various factors. In addition, we may enter into new arrangements or modify these arrangements from time to time.

The amounts provided in the tables are based on the closing market price on December 31, 2013, the last trading day of such year for our Series A common stock then-outstanding, which was $29.24. The value of the options shown in the table is based on the spread between the exercise or base price of the award and such closing market price. The value of the restricted stock shown in the table is based on such closing market price and the number of shares vested.

Each of our named executive officers has received awards and payments under the existing incentive plans, and each of our named executive officers is eligible to participate in our deferred compensation plans. Additionally, Mr. Albrecht is entitled to certain payments upon termination under his employment agreement. See “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Christopher P. Albrecht” above.

Set forth below is a description of the circumstances giving rise to these potential payments and a brief summary of the provisions governing their payout:

Voluntary Termination. Under the existing incentive plans, upon a voluntary termination of employment for any reason, other than disability, each named executive officer would only have a right to the equity grants that vested prior to his termination date.

Under the 2007 deferred compensation plan, we do not have an acceleration right to pay out account balances to the participants upon this type of termination. For purposes of the tabular presentation below, we have assumed that we were permitted to make payments to the executive officers in accordance with their respective standing elections under the plans, subject to compliance with Section 409A of the Code.

Termination for Cause. All outstanding equity grants constituting options or stock appreciation rights, whether unvested or vested but not yet exercised (other than vested options included in Mr. Albrecht's Multi-Year Award), and all equity grants constituting unvested restricted shares under the existing incentive plans would be forfeited by any named executive officer who is terminated for “cause.” The existing incentive plans define “cause” as insubordination, dishonesty, incompetence, moral turpitude, other misconduct of any kind and the refusal to perform his duties and responsibilities for any reason other than illness or incapacity; provided that, if such termination is within 12 months after a change in control (as described below), “cause” means a felony conviction for fraud, misappropriation or embezzlement. Under Mr. Albrecht’s

30

employment agreement, “cause” (prior to a “corporate event,” as discussed below) is defined as (a) any act or omission that constitutes a breach of his material obligations under the employment agreement, (b) the continued failure or refusal of Mr. Albrecht, other than on account of his death or disability, to substantially perform the material duties required of him as Chief Executive Officer of our company, (c) any material violation of any policy, rule or regulation of our company or any law or regulation applicable to the business of our company or its affiliates, (d) Mr. Albrecht’s conviction of or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to any crime that constitutes a felony or crime of moral turpitude or is punishable by imprisonment of 30 days or more, or (e) any other intentional misconduct by Mr. Albrecht that has a material detrimental effect on the financial condition or business reputation of our company or any of its affiliates. In addition, under Mr. Albrecht’s employment agreement, following the occurrence of a “corporate event,” “cause” is instead defined pursuant to California state law. Upon a termination for cause, Mr. Albrecht would forfeit any unvested options or restricted shares, but would have 90 days to exercise the portion of the options included in his Multi-Year Award that vested prior to his termination date. See “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Christopher P. Albrecht” above.

No immediate distributions under the 2007 deferred compensation plan are permitted as a result of this type of termination.

Termination Without Cause or for Good Reason. Pursuant to the existing incentive plans and the related award agreements, if a named executive officer were terminated by us without cause, he would have a right to all the equity grants that vested prior to his termination date. Named executive officers (other than Mr. Albrecht) would also be entitled to the acceleration of those of their stock options outstanding on the termination date that would have vested in the 90-day period following the termination date, other than stock options for which vesting depends on the achievement of criteria other than continued employment for the vesting term. Mr. Albrecht has certain accelerated vesting rights with respect to his 2013 Options upon a termination of his employment by us without cause (as defined in his employment agreement) or termination by him of his employment for good reason (as defined in his employment agreement). See “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Christopher P. Albrecht” above.

No immediate distributions under the 2007 deferred compensation plan are permitted as a result of this type of termination.

Death. In the event of death, the existing incentive plans provide for vesting in full of any outstanding options and the lapse of restrictions on any restricted share awards.

No immediate distributions under the 2007 deferred compensation plan are permitted as a result of the death of the executive officer.

Disability. In the event of a disability, which is generally the inability to perform gainful activity for at least 12 months, the existing incentive plans provide for vesting in full of any outstanding options and the lapse of restrictions on any restricted share awards.

No amounts are shown for payments pursuant to short-term and long-term disability policies, which we make available to all our employees.

No immediate distributions under the 2007 deferred compensation plan are permitted as a result of the disability of the executive officer.

Change in Control. In the case of a change in control, the incentive plans provide for vesting in full of any outstanding options and the lapse of restrictions on any restricted share awards. A change in control is generally defined as:

• The acquisition of beneficial ownership of at least 20% of the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares ordinarily having the right to vote in the election of directors.

• Any non-exempt person purchases our common stock pursuant to a tender offer or exchange offer, without the prior consent of our board of directors.

• The individuals constituting our board of directors over any two consecutive years cease to constitute at least a majority of the board, subject to certain exceptions that permit the board to approve new members by approval of at least two-thirds of the remaining directors.

• Any merger, consolidation or binding share exchange that causes the persons who were our common stockholders immediately prior thereto to lose their proportionate interest in the common stock or voting power of the successor or to have less than a majority of the combined voting power of the then outstanding shares ordinarily having the right to vote in the election of directors, the sale of substantially all of our assets or the dissolution of Starz.

In the case of a change in control described in the last bullet point, the compensation committee of our board of directors may determine not to accelerate the existing equity awards if equivalent awards will be substituted for the existing awards. For purposes of the tabular presentation below, we have assumed no such determination was made.

If a named executive officer (other than a named executive officer who has an employment agreement, which is currently only Mr. Albrecht) is terminated without cause or leaves for good reason (as defined) within 30 days preceding or one year following a change in control: (i) we will pay the named executive officer the maximum severance available without regard to years of service, together with a lump sum payment equal to such person's target bonus percentage multiplied times the severance pay amount; and (ii) we will pay the employer's portion of the premium for COBRA continuation coverage, to the extent such person elects continuing coverage following termination. In addition, if the change in control is as described in the last bullet point above, such named executive officer is entitled to 100% acceleration of outstanding options and restricted share awards.

The 2007 deferred compensation plan provides our deferred compensation committee with the option of terminating the plan 30 days preceding or within 12 months after a change of control and distributing the account balances (which option is assumed to have been exercised for purposes of the tabular presentation below).

(1) If Mr. Albrecht’s employment had been terminated at our election without cause (as defined in the 2013 Agreement) or by Mr. Albrecht for good reason (as defined in the 2013 Agreement), as of December 31, 2013, he would have been entitled to continue to receive his base salary for 18 months, which totals $1,875,000, and receive a severance lump-sum payment of $1,875,000. In addition, if Mr. Albrecht elects continuation of health and welfare benefits under COBRA following his termination, we will pay the employer portion of such benefits for 18 months. With respect to periods following the termination of his employment, the foregoing payments are conditioned on Mr. Albrecht’s compliance with certain conditions contained in his employment agreement, including non-competition and non-solicitation covenants. See “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Christopher P. Albrecht” above.

(2) If Mr. Albrecht’s employment had been terminated as of December 31, 2013 as a result of his death or disability (as defined in the 2013 Agreement), he, or his legal representative, would have been entitled to receive a lump sum payment of his salary, as adjusted by the proportion of time remaining under the Initial Term or Extended Term, as applicable, which totaled $937,714 plus Mr. Albrecht's base salary multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of days during such fiscal year preceding the date of the death or disability, and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such fiscal year, which would have been $1,250,000 for December 31, 2013. See “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Christopher P. Albrecht” above.

(3) Based on the number of vested options and SARs at year-end. See “—Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End” table above.

(4) If Mr. Albrecht’s employment had been terminated as of December 31, 2013 for cause, he would have the right to the Multi-Year Award, all of which has vested as of December 31, 2013. See “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Christopher P. Albrecht” above.

(5) Based on (i) the number of vested options and (ii) the product of the unvested 2013 Options multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of days elapsed in the vesting term plus 548 days and the denominator of which is the total number of days in the vesting term. See “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Christopher P. Albrecht” above and the “—Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End” table above.

(6) Based on (i) the number of vested options and (ii) the number of unvested options and the number of shares of restricted stock held by Mr. Albrecht at year-end. See “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Christopher P. Albrecht” above and the “—Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End” table above.

(7) If any named executive officer, other than Mr. Albrecht, is terminated by reason of a layoff, reduction in force, job elimination or restructuring, the named executive officer is entitled to a severance payment amount equal to 18 months of such person's base pay. In addition, if the event giving rise to the right to severance pay occurs within 30 days preceding, or within 12 months following, consummation of a Board Change, Control Purchase or Approved Transaction (as such terms are defined in the 2011 Incentive Plan), or if the named executive officer voluntarily terminates employment for good reason within such time frame, then such named executive officer will also receive the following: (1) an additional lump sum payment equal to a specified percentage of the severance payment and (2) to the extent the named executive officer elects COBRA, we will provide certain COBRA benefits for up to 18 months. See “—Executive Compensation Arrangements—Severance Plan” above.

(8) Based on the number of vested options and SARs at year-end, plus, in the case of a termination without cause, all options that are outstanding that would have vested in the 90-day period following such termination will become vested and exercisable as of the termination date. See “—Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End” table above.

(9) Based on (i) the number of vested options and SARs and (ii) the number of unvested options and the number of shares of restricted stock held by the named executive officer at year-end. See “—Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End” table above.

(10) If any named executive officer, other than Mr. Albrecht, is terminated without cause (as defined in the 2011 Incentive Plan) within 30 days preceding, or within 12 months following an Approved Transaction (as defined in the 2011 Incentive Plan), or if the named executive officer voluntarily terminates employment for good reason (as defined in applicable award agreements under the 2011 Incentive Plan) within such time frame, then such named executive officer's unvested options and restricted shares will vest 100%. Based on the number of vested options and SARs and the number of unvested options and restricted shares at year-end. See “—Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End” table above.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

Nonemployee Directors

Director Fees.  Each of our directors who is not an employee of our company (collectively, nonemployee directors) is paid an annual fee of $60,000 (which we refer to as the director fee). See “—Nonemployee Director Restricted Share Grants” below for information on the incentive awards granted in 2013 to the nonemployee directors. The chairman of the audit committee of our board of directors is paid an additional annual fee of $30,000 and each other member of that committee is paid an additional annual fee of $20,000. With respect to our executive committee, each member thereof receives an additional annual fee of $10,000 for his or her participation on the committee. The chairman of our compensation committee of our board of directors is paid an additional annual fee of $20,000 and each other member of that committee is paid an additional annual fee of $10,000. With respect to our nominating and corporate governance committee, each nonemployee member thereof receives an additional annual fee of $7,500 for his or her participation on the committee. The cash portion of the director fees and the fees for participation on committees are payable quarterly in arrears.

Equity Incentive Plan.  The Starz 2011 Nonemployee Director Incentive Plan (as amended and restated effective October 15, 2013) (the 2011 director plan) is administered by our entire board of directors. Our board of directors has full power and authority to grant eligible persons the awards described below and to determine the terms and conditions under which any awards are made. The 2011 director plan is designed to provide our nonemployee directors with additional remuneration for services rendered, to encourage their investment in our common stock and to aid in attracting persons of exceptional ability to become nonemployee directors of our company. Our board of directors may grant non-qualified stock options, SARs, restricted shares, restricted stock units and cash awards or any combination of the foregoing under the 2011 director plan.

The maximum number of shares of our common stock with respect to which awards may be issued under the 2011 director plan is 1,430,000, subject to anti-dilution and other adjustment provisions of the plan. Shares of our common stock issuable pursuant to awards made under the 2011 director plan are made available from either authorized but unissued shares or shares that have been issued but reacquired by our company.

Nonemployee Director Restricted Share Grants.  In March 2013, we granted restricted shares to our nonemployee directors, which was our first director grant following the LMC Spin-Off, and, in connection with reviewing our overall compensation packages for our employees and our decision to make annual equity grants in the fourth quarter of the year, we also made the decision to grant director awards during the fourth quarter of each year. Accordingly, there were two grants of restricted shares to our nonemployee directors during 2013. On March 4, 2013 and December 13, 2013, each of our nonemployee directors received 6,480 and 4,104 restricted shares, respectively, of STRZA, under the 2011 director plan. In addition, Mr. Heller received 2,093 restricted shares of STRZA on August 19, 2013, in connection with his appointment to the board of directors. These restricted shares will vest on the first anniversary of the grant date, or on such earlier date that the grantee ceases to be a director because of death or disability, and will be forfeited if the grantee resigns or is removed from the board before the vesting date.

Stock Retention Plan for Nonemployee Directors. In order to further align the interests of our nonemployee directors with the long-term interests of our stockholders, the board has determined that commencing with the director restricted share grants made on December 13, 2013, each nonemployee director should retain 33% of the number of net shares resulting from the exercise of stock options or the vesting of restricted shares or restricted stock units granted to them by Starz for a trailing five-year period. Net shares means shares remaining after shares are sold or netted to pay exercise price and applicable taxes (assuming a 40% effective tax rate).

(1) Each plan permits grants of, or with respect to, shares of any series of our common stock, subject to a single aggregate limit.

(2) In September 2011, Old LMC was split-off from its former parent company Liberty Interactive (the Old LMC Split-Off). The Starz Transitional Stock Adjustment Plan governs the terms and conditions of equity awards granted in connection with adjustments made to equity awards in the Old LMC Split-Off. As a result, no further grants are permitted under this plan.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

Under our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and Corporate Governance Guidelines, if a director or executive officer has an actual or potential conflict of interest (which includes being a party to a proposed “related party transaction” (as defined by Item 404 of Regulation S-K)), the director or executive officer should promptly inform the person designated by our board to address such actual or potential conflicts. No related party transaction may be effected by our company without the approval of the audit committee of our board or another independent body of our board designated to address such actual or potential conflicts.

Agreements Entered Into in Connection with the LMC Spin-Off

In connection with the LMC Spin-Off, Old LMC and Liberty Media (or, where applicable, certain subsidiaries of our company or Liberty Media named therein) entered into certain agreements:

Services Agreement

In connection with the LMC Spin-Off, Liberty Media entered into a services agreement with Starz, pursuant to which Liberty Media provides Starz with specified services, including:

• insurance administration and risk management services;

36

• other services typically performed by Liberty Media’s chief executive, legal, investor relations, tax, accounting, and internal audit departments; and

• such other services as Liberty Media may obtain from its officers, employees and consultants in the management of its own operations that Starz may from time to time request or require.

In addition, Starz provides to Liberty Media certain technical and information technology services (including management information systems, computer, data storage network and telecommunications services).

Starz and Liberty Media make payments to each other under the services agreement based upon a portion of personnel costs (taking into account wages and benefits) of the officers and employees of one company who provide services to the other company, including officers of Liberty Media who also act as officers of Starz. These personnel costs are comparable to those arrived at on an arm’s-length basis and are based upon the allocated percentages of time spent by Liberty Media personnel performing services for Starz under the services agreement and vice versa. Starz and Liberty Media also reimburse each other for direct out-of-pocket costs incurred by one company for third party services provided to the other company. Liberty Media and Starz evaluate all charges for reasonableness periodically and make adjustments to these charges as the parties mutually agree. During the year ended December 31, 2013, Starz recognized $0.3 million of net expenses under the services agreement.

The services agreement will continue in effect until the close of business on the third anniversary of the LMC Spin-Off, unless earlier terminated (1) by Starz at any time on at least 30 days’ prior written notice, (2) by Liberty Media upon written notice to Starz following a change in control or certain bankruptcy or insolvency-related events affecting Starz or (3) by Starz, upon written notice to Liberty Media, following certain changes in control of Liberty Media or Liberty Media being the subject of certain bankruptcy or insolvency-related events.

Facilities Sharing Agreement

In connection with the LMC Spin-Off, Starz entered into a three-year facilities sharing agreement (the LMC facilities sharing agreement) with Liberty Property Holdings, Inc. (LPH), pursuant to which Starz shares office facilities with Liberty Media located at 12300 Liberty Boulevard, Englewood, Colorado. Starz pays a sharing fee for use of the office based on a comparable fair market rental rate and an estimate of the usage of the office facilities by or on behalf of Starz. The LMC facilities sharing agreement continues in effect until the close of business on the third anniversary of the LMC Spin-Off, unless earlier terminated (1) by Starz at any time on at least 30 days’ prior written notice, (2) by LPH upon written notice to Starz following a default by Starz of any of its material obligations under the LMC facilities sharing agreement, which default remains unremedied for 30 days after written notice of such default is provided, (3) by Starz upon written notice to LPH, following certain changes in control of Liberty Media or Liberty Media being the subject of certain bankruptcy or insolvency-related events or (4) by LPH upon written notice to Starz, following certain changes in control of Starz or Starz being the subject of certain bankruptcy or insolvency-related events. During the year ended December 31, 2013, Starz recognized $0.3 million of expense for shared office space.

Lease Agreement for Starz Building

As part of the internal restructuring conducted in order to effect the LMC Spin-Off, the Starz, LLC headquarters building was contributed to LPH. On January 11, 2013, LPH entered into a ten year lease agreement with Starz, LLC. This lease agreement provides for successive five year renewal periods at the option of Starz, LLC. and provides for termination by LPH in the case of certain events, including a change in control of our company or Starz, LLC. Starz, LLC pays a monthly base rent of $0.3 million (subject to annual increases) under the lease agreement. Starz, LLC recorded a $44.8 million capital lease in connection with this lease agreement.
