SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED MAY 14, 2024

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

Lionsgate Studios Corp.

26,207,557 Common Shares

This prospectus relates to the resale from time to time by the Selling Shareholders named in this prospectus or their permitted transferees (collectively, the “Selling Shareholders”) of up to 26,207,557 common shares (the “Offering Shares”), without par value, of Lionsgate Studios Corp., a British Columbia company (“LG Studios” or “Pubco,” a successor in interest to SEAC II Corp.), which were issued to PIPE Investors and Non-Redemption Investors (each as defined below) in private placements in connection with the Business Combination (as defined below) pursuant to the terms of the Subscription Agreements or Non-Redemption Agreements (each as defined below).

On December 21, 2023, the board of directors of SEAC II Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company limited by shares (“New SEAC,”) and the board of directors of Screaming Eagle Acquisition Corp. (“SEAC”), respectively, approved a Business Combination Agreement, by and among SEAC, the parent company of New SEAC, New SEAC, Lions Gate Entertainment Corp., a British Columbia company (“Lions Gate Parent” or “Lionsgate”), LG Sirius Holdings ULC, a British Columbia unlimited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lions Gate Parent (“Studio HoldCo”), LG Orion Holdings ULC, a British Columbia unlimited liability company and a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lions Gate Parent (“StudioCo”), SEAC MergerCo, a Cayman Islands exempted company and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of New SEAC (“MergerCo”), and 1455941 B.C. Unlimited Liability Company, a British Columbia unlimited liability company and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of SEAC (“New BC Sub”) (as amended on April 11, 2024 and May 9, 2024 and as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”). Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions contained therein and the plan of arrangement (i) SEAC merged with and into MergerCo (the “SEAC Merger”) with MergerCo surviving the SEAC Merger as a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of New SEAC (the resulting entity referred to herein as MergerCo or, where specified, the “SEAC Merger Surviving Company”), (ii) SEAC Merger Surviving Company distributed all of its assets lawfully available for distribution to New SEAC by way of a cash dividend (the “Cash Distribution”), (iii) SEAC Merger Surviving Company transferred by way of continuation from the Cayman Islands to British Columbia in accordance with the Cayman Islands Companies Act (as revised) (the “Companies Act”) and the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the “BC Act”) and converted to a British Columbia unlimited liability company in accordance with the BC Act (the “MergerCo Domestication and Conversion”), (iv) New SEAC transferred by way of continuation from the Cayman Islands (the “New SEAC Domestication”, and together with the MergerCo Domestication and Conversion, the “Domestications”) to British Columbia in accordance with the Companies Act and continued as a British Columbia company in accordance with the applicable provisions of the BC Act, and (v) pursuant to an arrangement under Division 5 of Part 9 of the BC Act (the “Arrangement”), on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Plan of Arrangement, (A) SEAC Merger Surviving Company and New BC Sub amalgamated (the “MergerCo Amalgamation”) to form one corporate entity (“MergerCo Amalco”), in accordance with the terms of, and with the attributes and effects set out in, the Plan of Arrangement, (B) New SEAC and MergerCo Amalco amalgamated (the “SEAC Amalgamation”) to form one corporate entity (“SEAC Amalco”), in accordance with the terms of, and with the attributes and effects set out in, the Plan of Arrangement, and (C) StudioCo and SEAC Amalco amalgamated (the “StudioCo Amalgamation” and together with the MergerCo Amalgamation and the SEAC Amalgamation, the “Amalgamations”) to form LG Studios, in accordance with the terms of, and with the attributes and effects set out in, the Plan of Arrangement. The SEAC Merger, the Cash Distribution, the Domestications and the Arrangement (which includes the Amalgamations), together with the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the Plan of Arrangement and all other agreements, certificates and instruments entered into in connection therewith, are referred to herein as the “Business Combination.” In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, New SEAC effected a deregistration pursuant to and in accordance with Sections 206 through 209 of the Cayman Islands Companies Act (as revised) and a continuation

and domestication as a British Columbia company in accordance with the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia), pursuant to which the New SEAC’s jurisdiction of incorporation was changed from the Cayman Islands to British Columbia, Canada. On May 13, 2024, upon the StudioCo Amalgamation Effective Time, Lionsgate Studios Corp. became the successor in interest to New SEAC.

In connection with the Business Combination, on December 22, 2023, April 11, 2024, May 9, 2024 and on May 13, 2024, SEAC, New SEAC and Lions Gate Parent entered into subscription agreements with the PIPE Investors pursuant to which the PIPE Investors agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to subscribe for and purchase from Pubco, immediately following the Amalgamations, an aggregate of approximately 29,790,249 common shares of Pubco (the “PIPE Shares”), consisting of 18,172,378 PIPE Shares at a purchase price of $9.63 per share (in the case of the Subscription Agreements signed December 22, 2023) and 11,617,871 PIPE Shares at a purchase price of $10.165 per share (in the case of the Subscription Agreements signed on April 11, 2024, May 9, 2024 and May 13, 2024). Additionally, the Subscription Agreements provided certain PIPE Investors with certain reduction rights, pursuant to which the PIPE Investors could offset their total commitments under their respective Subscription Agreements to the extent such PIPE Investors purchase SEAC Class A Ordinary Shares (as defined below) in the open market or otherwise own such shares as of the date of the Subscription Agreement. PIPE Investors who exercised such reduction rights with respect to PIPE Shares had the right to acquire, subject to certain conditions in the Subscription Agreement, 0.1111 newly issued SEAC Class A Ordinary Shares for each share for which such PIPE Investor exercised its reduction rights, at a purchase price of $0.0001 per whole share, which shares were issued by SEAC prior to the SEAC Merger (the “Newly Issued Reduction Rights Shares”). PIPE Investors have exercised reduction rights with respect to 1,953,976 PIPE Shares reducing the aggregate number of PIPE Shares that were subscribed for at Closing to 27,836,273.

On April 24, 2024 and May 9, 2024, SEAC and New SEAC entered into share purchase and non-redemption agreements (the “Non-Redemption Agreements”) with certain investors (the “Non-Redemption Investors”). Pursuant to the Non-Redemption Agreements, if the Non-Redemption Investors meet certain conditions described herein, then, for every SEAC Class A Ordinary Share held by the Non-Redemption Investors thereunder (the “Purchase Commitment Shares”), such investors were entitled to purchase from SEAC 0.0526 newly issued SEAC Class A Ordinary Shares, at a purchase price of $0.0001 per whole share, which shares were issued by SEAC prior to the SEAC Merger (the “Newly Issued Non-Redemption Agreement Shares” and, together with the Newly Issued Reduction Rights Shares, the “Additional Shares”). A total of 254,200 Newly Issued Non-Redemption Agreement Shares were issued one business day prior to the consummation of the Business Combination.

The Selling Shareholders may offer, sell or distribute all or a portion of the Offering Shares registered hereby publicly or through private transactions at prevailing market prices or at negotiated prices. We will pay certain offering fees and expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the PIPE Shares and will not receive proceeds from the sale of the Offering Shares by the Selling Shareholders. Class A ordinary shares, par value $0.0001 per share, of SEAC (a “SEAC Class A Ordinary Share”) and public warrants of SEAC (“SEAC Warrants”) were listed on the Nasdaq Capital Market (“Nasdaq”) and traded under the symbols “SCRM” and “SCRMW”, respectively. In addition, certain of the SEAC Class A Ordinary Shares and the SEAC Public Warrants traded as part of the SEAC Units, which were listed on Nasdaq under the symbol “SCRMU”. Upon consummation of the Business Combination (the “Closing” and the date of the Closing, the “Closing Date”), SEAC Public Shareholders who did not redeem their SEAC Class A Ordinary Shares ultimately (as a result of the SEAC Merger and the Amalgamations) received one (1) common share of Pubco (“Pubco Common Share”) for each SEAC Class A Ordinary Share held by them immediately prior to the SEAC Merger. Similarly, at the Closing, PIPE Investors and Non-Redemption Investors received one (1) Pubco Common Share for each Additional Share held by them immediately prior to the SEAC Merger (the “Pubco Additional Shares”). One business day prior to the Closing Date and prior to the SEAC Merger, subject to the approval by the public warrantholders of SEAC (the “SEAC Public Warrantholders”), each then issued and outstanding SEAC Public Warrant was automatically exchanged for $0.50 in cash. In addition, all of the SEAC Private Placement Warrants were forfeited and cancelled for no consideration. Following the Closing, the Pubco Common Shares were listed on Nasdaq under the ticker symbol “LION”. On May 14, 2024, the closing price of the Pubco Common Shares was $10.10. Pubco will have no units or warrants traded following the Closing.

The Offering Shares consist of:

• 14,141,559 PIPE Shares acquired by PIPE Investors at an effective purchase price of $9.63 per share;

• 11,617,871 PIPE Shares acquired by PIPE Investors at an effective purchase price of $10.165 per share;

• 193,927 Pubco Additional Shares acquired by the PIPE Investors at an effective purchase price of $0.0001 per share, subject to the conditions in the Subscription Agreements; and

• 254,200 Pubco Additional Shares acquired by the Non-Redemption Investors at an effective purchase price of $0.0001 per share, subject to the conditions in the Non-Redemption Agreements.

Lions Gate Parent beneficially owns Pubco Common Shares representing approximately 87.8% (expected to be 87.2% after the issuance of additional PIPE Shares shortly following the Closing) of the Pubco Common Shares outstanding, which shares are subject to lock-up restrictions as further described herein. Therefore, the total number of Offering Shares that may be offered and sold under this prospectus by the Selling Shareholders represents a significant portion of the anticipated public float of the Pubco Common Shares. The sale of all securities being offered in this prospectus may result in a significant decline in the public trading price of Pubco Common Shares. Even if the current trading price of the Pubco Common Shares is at or below the price at which the SEAC Units and SEAC Class A Ordinary Shares were issued in the SEAC IPO, some of the Selling Shareholders may still have an incentive to sell because they could still profit on sales due to the lower price at which they purchased their shares compared to the SEAC Public Shareholders. This discrepancy in purchase prices may have an impact on the market perception of the Pubco Common Shares’ value and could increase the volatility of the market price of Pubco Common Shares or result in a significant decline in the public trading price of Pubco Common Shares. The registration of these shares for resale creates the possibility of a significant increase in the supply of Pubco Common Shares in the market. The increased supply, coupled with the potential disparity in purchase prices, may lead to heightened selling pressure, which could negatively affect the public trading price of Pubco Common Shares. See “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Ownership of Pubco’s Securities—A significant number of Pubco Common Shares may be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of Pubco Common Shares to drop significantly, even if Pubco’s business is performing well.” Based on the closing price of Pubco Common Shares as of May 14, 2024 on Nasdaq of $10.10, (a) with respect to their SEAC Public Shares purchased at $10.00 per share in the initial public offering, the SEAC Public Shareholders may experience a potential profit of up to approximately $0.10 per share, (b) with respect to the PIPE Shares, PIPE Investors who purchased their PIPE Shares at a purchase price of $10.165 per share would not experience a profit and the PIPE Investors who purchased their PIPE shares at a purchase price of $9.63 per share may experience a potential profit of up to approximately $0.47 per share, and (c) with respect to Pubco Additional Shares, the PIPE Investors or Non-Redemption Investors may experience a potential profit of up to approximately $10.10 per share, in each case, if such shareholders sold their Pubco Common Shares. SEAC Public Shareholders, or other public investors who purchase Pubco Common Shares, may not be able to experience the same positive rates of return on securities they purchase due to the low price at which certain Selling Shareholders acquired or purchased their Pubco Common Shares.

The Private Placement

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement and on April 11, 2024, May 9, 2024 and May 13, 2024, SEAC, New SEAC and Lions Gate Parent entered into subscription agreements with the PIPE Investors pursuant to which the PIPE Investors agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to subscribe for and purchase from Pubco, immediately following the Amalgamations, an aggregate of approximately 29,790,249 PIPE Shares, at a purchase price of $9.63 per share (in the case of the Subscription Agreements entered into on December 22, 2023) and $10.165 per share (in the case of the Subscription Agreements entered into on April 11, 2024, May 9, 2024 and May 13, 2024). Additionally, the Subscription Agreements provided certain PIPE Investors with certain reduction rights, pursuant to which the PIPE Investors could offset their total commitments under their respective Subscription Agreements to the extent such PIPE Investors purchased SEAC Class A Ordinary Shares in the open market or otherwise owned such shares as of the date of the Subscription Agreement. PIPE Investors who exercise such reduction rights with respect to PIPE Shares had the right to acquire, subject to certain conditions in the Subscription Agreement, 0.1111 newly issued SEAC Class A Ordinary Shares, at a purchase price of $0.0001 per whole share, which shares were issued by SEAC prior to the SEAC Merger (the “Newly Issued Reduction Rights Shares”).

Lions Gate Parent controls a majority of the voting power of the outstanding Pubco Common Shares. As a result, Pubco will be a “controlled company” within the meaning of the Nasdaq rules, and Pubco may qualify for and

14

rely on exemptions from certain corporate governance requirements. Under Nasdaq corporate governance standards, a company of which more than 50% of the voting power for the election of directors is held by an individual, a group or another company is a “controlled company” and may elect not to comply with certain corporate governance requirements, including the requirements to:

• have a board that includes a majority of “independent directors”, as defined under Nasdaq rules;

• have a compensation committee of the board that is comprised entirely of independent directors with a written charter addressing the committee’s purpose and responsibilities; and

• have independent director oversight of director nominations.

Pubco may rely on the exemption from having a board that includes a majority of “independent directors” as defined under Nasdaq rules. Pubco may elect to rely on additional exemptions and it will be entitled to do so for as long as Pubco is considered a “controlled company”, and to the extent it relies on one or more of these exemptions, holders of Pubco Common Shares will not have the same protections afforded to shareholders of companies that are subject to all of the Nasdaq corporate governance requirements.

16

RISK FACTORS

An investment in our securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following risk factors, together with all of the other information included in this prospectus, before making an investment decision. Our business, prospects, financial condition or operating results could decline due to any of these risks and, as a result, you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to the Studio Business

LG Studios faces substantial capital requirements and financial risks.

The production, acquisition and distribution of motion picture and television content requires substantial capital. A significant amount of time may elapse between expenditure of funds and the receipt of revenues after release or distribution of such content. LG Studios cannot assure you that it is able to successfully implement arrangements to reduce the risks of production exposure such as tax credit, government or industry programs. Additionally, LG Studios may experience delays and increased costs due to disruptions or events beyond its control and if production incurs substantial budget overruns, LG Studios may have to seek additional financing or fund the overrun itself. LG Studios cannot make assurances regarding the availability of such additional financing on terms acceptable to it, or that it will recoup these costs. Increased costs or budget overruns incurred with respect to a particular film may prevent its completion of release, or may result in a delayed release and the postponement to a potentially less favorable date. This could adversely affect box office performance, and the overall financial success of such film. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on LG Studios’ business, financial condition, operating results, liquidity and prospects.

LG Studios may incur significant write-offs if its projects do not perform well enough to recoup costs.

LG Studios will be required to amortize capitalized production costs over the expected revenue streams as it recognizes revenue from films or other projects. The amount of production costs that will be amortized each quarter depends on, among other things, how much future revenue LG Studios expects to receive from each project. Unamortized production costs are evaluated for impairment each reporting period on a project-by-project basis when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of a film is less than its unamortized cost. These events and changes in circumstances include, among others, an adverse change in the expected performance of a film prior to its release, actual costs substantially in excess of budgeted cost for the film, delays or changes in release plans and actual performance subsequent to the film’s release being less than previously expected performance estimates. In any given quarter, if LG Studios lowers its previous forecast with respect to total anticipated revenue from any film or other project or increases its previous forecast of cost of making or distribution of the film, LG Studios may be required to accelerate amortization or record impairment charges with respect to the unamortized costs, even if it previously recorded impairment charges for such film or other project. Such impairment charges could adversely impact the business, operating results and financial condition.

Changes in LG Studios’ business strategy, plans for growth or restructuring may increase its costs or otherwise affect its profitability.

As changes in LG Studios’ business environment occur, it may adjust its business strategies to meet these changes, which may include growing a particular area of business or restructuring a particular business or asset. In addition, external events including changing technology, changing consumer patterns, acceptance of its theatrical offerings and changes in macroeconomic conditions may impair the value of its assets. When these occur, LG Studios may incur costs to adjust its business strategy and may need to write down the value of assets. LG Studios may also invest in existing or new businesses. Some of these investments may have negative or low short-term returns and the ultimate prospects of the businesses may be uncertain or may not develop at a rate that supports its level of investment. In any of these events, LG Studios’ costs may increase, it may have significant charges associated with the write-down of assets, or returns on new investments may be lower than prior to the change in strategy, plans for growth or restructuring.

17

LG Studios’ revenues and results of operations may fluctuate significantly.

LG Studios’ results of operations depend significantly upon the commercial success of the motion picture, television and other content that it sells, licenses or distributes, which cannot be predicted with certainty. In particular, if one or more motion pictures underperform at the box office in any given period, its revenue and earnings results for that period (and potentially, subsequent periods) may be less than anticipated. LG Studios’ results of operations may also fluctuate due to the timing, mix, number and availability of theatrical motion picture and home entertainment releases, as well as license periods for content. Moreover, low ratings for television programming produced by LG Studios may lead to the cancellation of a program which may result in significant programming impairment charges in a given period, and can negatively affect license fees for the cancelled program in future periods. Other than non-renewals or cancellation of television programs or series that may occur from time to time, LG Studios is not aware of any current material cancellation of television programming releases or of content that it sells, licenses or distributes. In addition, the comparability of results may be affected by changes in accounting guidance or changes in LG Studios’ ownership of certain assets and businesses. As a result of the factors above, LG Studios’ results of operations may fluctuate and differ from period to period, and therefore, may not be indicative of the results for any future periods or directly comparable to prior reporting periods.

LG Studios’ content licensing arrangements, primarily those relating to the distribution of films in foreign territories, may include minimum guarantee arrangements which, absent such arrangements, could adversely affect our results of operations.

LG Studios generates revenue principally from the licensing of content in domestic theatrical exhibition, home entertainment (e.g., digital media and packaged media), television, and international market places. Certain of such content licensing arrangements, primarily those relating to the distribution of films by third parties in foreign territories, may include a minimum guarantee. Revenue from these minimum guarantee arrangements amounted to approximately $101.3 million, $51.1 million and $29.8 million for the years ended March 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 respectively, and $100.0 million and $29.6 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

To the extent that receipts generated by such foreign distributor from distribution of the film in the territory exceeds a formula-based threshold, the distributor pays LG Studios an amount in addition to the minimum guarantee (the “overage”). Absent these arrangements, the revenues derived by LG Studios may be determined as a function of a revenue-sharing formulation that calculates the licensee fee payable to LG Studios solely based on the actual performance of the film in the territory. In these situations, content that is not favorably received or underperforms may not achieve the level of revenues that LG Studios would have received from a minimum guarantee arrangement, which could adversely impact the Company’s business, operating results and financial condition.

The Studio Business does not have long-term arrangements with many of its production or co-financing partners.

With respect to the Studio Business, Lions Gate Parent typically does not enter into long-term production contracts with the creative producers of motion picture and television content that it produces, acquires or distributes. Moreover, LG Studios generally will have certain derivative rights that provide it with distribution rights to, for example, prequels, sequels and remakes of certain content it produces, acquires or distributes. There is no guarantee that LG Studios will produce, acquire or distribute future content by any creative producer or co-financing partner, and a failure to do so could adversely affect its business, financial condition, operating results, liquidity and prospects.

18

The Studio Business relies on a few major retailers and distributors and the loss of any of those could reduce its revenues and operating results.

A small number of retailers and distributors account for a material percentage of the revenues in home entertainment for the Motion Picture segment of the Studio Business. The Studio Business does not have long-term agreements with retailers. In addition, in fiscal 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Studio Business generated approximately 25%, 24% and 11%, respectively, of its revenue from the Starz Business, and in fiscal 2023, 2022 and 2021, the Studio Business generated approximately 11%, 9% and 15%, respectively, of its revenue from Amazon.com, Inc. and its subsidiaries. LG Studios cannot assure you that it will maintain favorable relationships with its retailers and distributors or that they will not be adversely affected by economic conditions, including as a result of global pandemics, wars, such as Russia’s invasion of Ukraine (including sanctions therefrom, though Lions Gate Parent and, to the knowledge of Lions Gate Parent, its directors and executive officers have not been, and are not expected to be, subject to any sanctions related to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine), rising interest rates, inflation or a recession. For additional information, see Note 16 to the combined audited financial statements of the Studio Business in this prospectus. For information regarding charges related to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine included in direct operating expenses for fiscal 2022, see “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations of the Studio Business of Lions Gate Entertainment Corp.”

A significant portion of the Studio Business’ library revenues comes from a small number of titles.

The Studio Business depends on a limited number of titles in any given fiscal quarter for the majority of the revenues generated by its library. In addition, many of the titles in its library are not presently distributed and generate substantially no revenue. Moreover, its rights to the titles in its library vary; in some cases, the Studio Business only holds the right to distribute titles in certain media and territories for a limited term; in other cases, certain rights may be reserved and/or granted to third parties or otherwise only granted to LG Studios for a limited period. If LG Studios cannot acquire new product and the rights to popular titles through production, distribution agreements, acquisitions, mergers, joint ventures or other strategic alliances, or renew expiring rights to titles generating a significant portion of its revenue on acceptable terms, any such failure could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, operating results, liquidity and prospects. Other than its recent acquisition of eOne, Lions Gate Parent has not entered into any agreements regarding material acquisitions of titles, renewals, business combinations, joint ventures or sales that are pending. Completed material acquisitions have been previously disclosed in the reports of Lions Gate Parent that have been filed under the Exchange Act.

Changes in consumer behavior, as well as evolving technologies and distribution models, may negatively affect LG Studios’ business, financial condition or results of operations.

LG Studios’ success, in part, depends on its ability to anticipate and adapt to shifting content consumption patterns. The ways in which viewers consume content, and technology and business models in its industry, continue to evolve, and new distribution platforms, as well as increased competition from new entrants and emerging technologies, have added to the complexity of maintaining predictable revenues. Developments in technology and new content delivery products and services have also led to an increased amount of video content, as well as changes in consumers’ expectations regarding the availability of video content and their willingness to pay for access to such content. These changes include the increase in the number of advertising-based video on demand services or free, ad-supported streaming linear channels (also known as FAST channels) or increased cord-cutting. In addition, rules governing new technological developments, such as developments in generative artificial intelligence, remain unsettled, and these developments may affect aspects of LG Studios’ business model, including revenue streams for the use of its intellectual property and how LG Studios creates and distributes its content. If LG Studios fails to successfully exploit emerging technologies and effectively anticipate or adapt to emerging competitors, content distribution platforms, changes in consumer behavior and shifting business models, this could have a material adverse effect on its competitive position, business, financial condition and results of operations.

19

LG Studios faces substantial competition in all aspects of its business.

LG Studios is an independent distributor and producer. Most of the major U.S. studios are part of large diversified corporate groups with a variety of other operations that can provide both the means of distributing their products and stable sources of earnings that may allow them to better offset fluctuations in the financial performance of their motion picture operations and television production operations.

LG Studios faces economic, political, regulatory, and other risks from doing business internationally.

LG Studios has operations and distributes content outside the U.S. and derives revenue from international sources. As a result, its business is subject to certain risks inherent in international business, many of which are beyond its control. These risks may include:

• difficulties in understanding and complying with local laws, regulations and customs in foreign jurisdictions;

• laws and policies adversely affecting trade, investment and taxes, including laws and policies relating to the repatriation of funds and withholding taxes, and changes in these laws;

• sanctions imposed on countries, entities and individuals with whom it conducts business (such as those imposed due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine);

• the impact of trade disputes;

• anti-corruption laws and regulations such as the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and the U.K. Bribery Act that impose strict requirements on how LG Studios may conduct its foreign operations and changes in these laws and regulations;

• changes in local regulatory requirements including regulations designed to stimulate local productions, promote and preserve local culture and economic activity (including local content quotas, investment obligations, local ownership requirements, and levies to support local film funds);

• differing degrees of consumer protection, data privacy and cybersecurity laws and changes in these laws;

• differing degrees of employee or labor laws and changes in these laws that may impact our ability to hire and retain foreign employees;

• strikes or other employment actions that may make it difficult to produce and/or localize content;

• censorship requirements that may cause LG Studios to remove or edit popular content, leading to consumer disappointment, brand tarnishment or consumer dissatisfaction;

• inability to adapt LG Studios’ offerings successfully to differing languages, cultural tastes, and preferences in international markets;

• international jurisdictions where laws are less protective of intellectual property and varying attitudes towards the piracy of intellectual property;

• establishing and protecting a new brand identity in competitive markets;

• the instability of foreign economies and governments;

• currency exchange restrictions, export controls and currency devaluation risks in some foreign countries;

• war and acts of terrorism; and

• the spread of communicable diseases, which may impact business in such jurisdictions.

LG Studios’ actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations could lead to regulatory investigations or actions, litigation, fines and penalties, disruptions of its business operations, reputational harm, loss of revenue or profits, loss of customers or sales, and other adverse business consequences.

20

LG Studios is subject to risks associated with possible acquisitions, dispositions, business combinations, or joint ventures.

From time to time, LG Studios may engage in discussions and activities with respect to possible acquisitions, sale of assets, business combinations, joint ventures intended to complement or expand its business or other transactions, such as its acquisition of eOne in December 2023. However, LG Studios may not realize the anticipated benefit from the transactions it pursues; there may be liabilities assumed that it did not discover or that it underestimated in the course of performing its due diligence; the negotiation of the transaction and the integration of the acquired business could require LG Studios to incur significant costs and cause diversion of management’s time and resources; the transaction could result in impairment of goodwill and other intangibles, development write-offs and other related expenses; the transaction may pose challenges in the consolidation and integration of information technology, accounting systems, personnel and operations; and LG Studios may have difficulty managing the combined entity in the short term if it experiences a significant loss of management personnel during the transition period after a significant acquisition. No assurance can be given that expansion, acquisition or other opportunities will be successful, completed on time, or that LG Studios will realize expected operating efficiencies, cost savings, revenue enhancements, synergies or other benefits. Any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on LG Studios’ business, financial condition, operating results, liquidity and prospects. If LG Studios determines to sell individual properties, libraries or other assets or businesses, it will benefit from the net proceeds realized from such sales. However, LG Studios’ long-term revenue may be affected due to the loss of revenue generating assets, and poor timing of disposals may result in unrealized asset value, all of which may diminish its ability to service its indebtedness and repay its notes and its other indebtedness at maturity. Furthermore, LG Studios’ future growth may be inhibited if the disposed asset contributed in a significant way to the diversification of its business platform.

If Entertainment One Canada Ltd. loses Canadian status, it could lose licenses, incentives and tax credits.

Through the acquisition of eOne, LG Studios indirectly acquired the economic interests in Entertainment One Canada Ltd., a Canadian corporation (“EOCL”). EOCL is able to benefit from a number of licenses, incentive programs and Canadian government tax credits as a result of it being “Canadian controlled” as defined in the Investment Canada Act. LG Studios has taken measures to ensure that EOCL’s Canadian status is maintained. There can be no assurance, however, that EOCL will be able to continue to maintain its Canadian status. The loss of EOCL’s Canadian status could harm LG Studios’ business, including the possible loss of future incentive programs and clawback of funding previously provided to EOCL.

LG Studios may fail to realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition of eOne.

LG Studios may not be able to successfully integrate acquired personnel, operations, and technologies, or effectively manage the combined business following the eOne acquisition. LG Studios also may not achieve the anticipated benefits from the eOne acquisition due to a number of factors, including: (a) an inability to integrate or benefit from the acquisition in a profitable manner; (b) unanticipated costs or liabilities associated with the acquisition; (c) the incurrence of acquisition-related costs; (d) the diversion of management’s attention from other business concerns; and (e) the loss of our or the acquired business’ key employees.

LG Studios’ success will depend on attracting and retaining key personnel and artistic talent.

LG Studios’ success will depend upon the continued efforts, abilities and expertise of its executive teams and other key employees, including production, creative and technical personnel, including, in turn, on its ability to identify, attract, hire, train and retain such personnel. LG Studios expects to have employment agreements with top executive officers and production executives but does not expect to have significant “key person” life insurance policies for any employee. Although it is standard in the industry to rely on employment agreements as a method of retaining the services of key employees, these agreements cannot assure LG Studios of the continued

services of such employees. In addition, LG Studios will depend on the availability of a number of actors,

21

writers, directors and producers of third-party production companies who create its original programming. LG Studios cannot assure you that it will be successful in identifying, attracting, hiring, training and retaining such personnel in the future, and LG Studios’ inability to do so could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, operating results, liquidity and prospects.

Global economic turmoil and regional economic conditions could adversely affect LG Studios’ business.

Global economic turmoil resulting from such events as global pandemics, wars, inflation, rising interest rates, bank failures or a recession, may cause a general tightening in the credit markets, lower levels of liquidity, increases in the rates of default and bankruptcy, levels of intervention from U.S. federal government and other foreign governments, decreased consumer confidence, overall slower economic activity and extreme volatility in credit, equity and fixed income markets. A decrease in economic activity in the U.S. or in other regions of the world in which LG Studios does business could adversely affect demand for its content, thus reducing its revenues and earnings. A decline in economic conditions could reduce performance of theatrical and home entertainment releases. In addition, an increase in price levels generally could result in a shift in consumer demand away from the entertainment offered, which could also adversely affect LG Studios revenues and, at the same time, increase costs. Moreover, financial institution failures may make it more difficult to finance any future acquisitions, or engage in other financing activities.

LG Studios could be adversely affected by labor disputes, strikes or other union job actions.

The Studio Business is directly or indirectly dependent upon highly specialized union members who are essential to the production of motion pictures and television content including writers, directors, actors and other talent as well as trade employees and others who are subject to collective bargaining agreements. In general, a labor dispute, work stoppage, work slowdown, strike by, or a lockout of, one or more of the unions that provide personnel essential to the production of motion pictures or television content, including a potential strike from The International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees, could delay or halt the Studio Business’s ongoing development and/or production activities, or could cause a delay or interruption in release of new motion pictures and television content. Labor disputes may restrict access to content, result in work stoppages, and may result in increased costs and decreased revenue, which could have a material adverse effect on LG Studios’ business, financial condition, operating results, liquidity and prospects.

Business interruptions from circumstances or events out of LG Studios’ control could adversely affect LG Studios’ operations.

The operations of the Studio Business are vulnerable to outages and interruptions due to fire, floods, power loss, telecommunications failures, software or hardware failures, loss of data, security breaches, cyberattacks, personnel misconduct or error, global pandemics, work stoppages and strikes, and similar events beyond its control. LG Studios’ headquarters is located in Southern California, which is subject to natural disasters such as earthquakes, wildfires and flooding. In the event of a short-term power outage, LG Studios may have uninterrupted power source equipment designed to protect its equipment. A long-term power outage, however, could disrupt its operations.

Although LG Studios may carry business interruption insurance for potential losses (including earthquake-related losses), there can be no assurance that such insurance will be sufficient to compensate for losses that may occur or that such insurance may continue to be available on affordable terms. Any losses or damages incurred by LG Studios could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, operating results, liquidity and prospects.

22

LG Studios’ business is dependent on the maintenance and protection of its intellectual property and pursuing and defending against intellectual property claims may have a material adverse effect on LG Studios’ business.

LG Studios’ ability to compete depends, in part, upon successful maintenance and protection of its intellectual property. LG Studios will attempt to maintain and protect its proprietary and intellectual property rights to its productions through available copyright and trademark laws, contractual provisions in its agreements with its employees, contractors and production partners that develop intellectual property on its behalf, and licensing and distribution arrangements with reputable international companies in specific territories and media for limited durations. Despite these precautions, existing copyright and trademark laws afford only limited practical protection in certain countries where the Studio Business distributes its products. As a result, it may be possible for unauthorized third parties to copy and distribute LG Studios’ productions or certain portions or applications of its intended productions, which could have a material adverse effect on LG Studios’ business, financial condition, operating results, liquidity and prospects. Moreover, there can be no assurance that LG Studios, content producers or other third parties from whom it has licensed or acquired content, have, in every instance, entered into agreements that contain appropriate protections regarding intellectual property, including non-disclosure, “work made for hire” or valid assignment provisions, with each party who has developed intellectual property on their respective behalf. Litigation may also be necessary to enforce LG Studios’ intellectual property rights, to protect its trade secrets, or to determine the validity and scope of the proprietary rights of others or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. Any such litigation, infringement or invalidity claims could result in substantial costs and the diversion of resources and could have a material adverse effect on LG Studios’ business, financial condition, operating results, liquidity and prospects. LG Studios’ more successful and popular film or television products or franchises may experience higher levels of infringing activity, particularly around key release dates. Alleged infringers have claimed and may claim that their products are permitted under fair use or similar doctrines, that they are entitled to compensatory or punitive damages because LG Studios’ efforts to protect its intellectual property rights are illegal or improper, and that LG Studios’ key trademarks or other significant intellectual property are invalid. Such claims, even if meritless, may result in adverse publicity or costly litigation. LG Studios will vigorously defend its copyrights and trademarks from infringing products and activity, which can result in litigation. It may receive unfavorable preliminary or interim rulings in the course of litigation, and there can be no assurance that a favorable final outcome will be obtained in all cases. Additionally, one of the risks of the film and television production business is the possibility that others may claim that LG Studios’ productions and production techniques misappropriate, infringe, or otherwise violate the intellectual property rights of third parties.

Notwithstanding its efforts to obtain all permissions and clearances it deems necessary in relation to the content it creates or distributes, from time to time, LG Studios may be subject to claims and legal proceedings regarding alleged infringement by it of the intellectual property rights (including patents) of third parties. Such claims, whether or not meritorious, may result in the expenditure of significant financial and managerial resources, require the development of alternative technology or business practices, injunctions against LG Studios, or payments for licenses or damages. These risks may be amplified by the increase in third parties whose sole or primary business is to assert such claims. Regardless of the validity or the success of the assertion of any such claims, LG Studios could incur significant costs and diversion of resources in enforcing its intellectual property rights or in defending against such claims, which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, operating results, liquidity and prospects.

In addition, LG Studios may, from time to time, lose or cease to control certain of its rights in the intellectual property on which it relies. Pursuant to applicable intellectual property laws, such rights may expire or be transferred to third parties as a result of the operation of copyright reversion and/or termination of transfer rights under applicable laws. Additionally, where LG Studios acquires rights in certain properties or content, it may only acquire such rights for a limited period or subject to other restrictions. Where LG Studios loses intellectual property rights, it may not be able to re-acquire such rights on reasonable terms or at all, including due to material entering the public domain. The loss of (or of control of) such intellectual property rights may adversely impact LG Studios’ ability to prevent others from exploiting content based on such rights.

23

The Studio Business involves risks of liability claims for content of material, which could adversely affect LG Studios’ business, results of operations and financial condition.

As a distributor of media content, LG Studios may face potential liability for defamation, violation of rights of privacy or publicity or other similar rights, negligence, copyright or trademark infringement, claims related to the adult nature of some of its content, other claims based on the nature and content of the materials distributed or on statements made by personnel or talent regarding or promoting those materials or attributable to its business. These types of claims have been brought, sometimes successfully, against producers and distributors of media content. Any imposition of liability that is not covered by insurance or is in excess of insurance coverage could have a material adverse effect on LG Studios’ business, financial condition, operating results, liquidity and prospects.

Piracy of films and television programs could adversely affect LG Studios’ business over time.

Piracy is extensive in many parts of the world and is made easier by the availability of digital copies of content and technological advances allowing conversion of films and television content into digital formats. This trend facilitates the creation, transmission and sharing of high-quality unauthorized copies of motion pictures and television content. The proliferation of unauthorized copies of these products has had and will likely continue to have an adverse effect on the Studio Business, because these products may reduce the revenue it may receive from distribution. In order to contain this problem, LG Studios may have to implement elaborate and costly security and anti-piracy measures, which could result in significant expenses and losses of revenue. LG Studios cannot assure you that even the highest levels of security and anti-piracy measures will prevent piracy.

LG Studios may rely upon “cloud” computing services to operate certain aspects of its service and any disruption of or interference with its use of its “cloud” computing servicer could impact its operations and its business could be adversely impacted.

LG Studios may utilize “cloud” computing services to deliver a distributed computing infrastructure platform for its business operations. LG Studios may architect its software and computer systems so as to utilize data processing, storage capabilities and other services provided by its current “cloud” computing service provider and run its computing via such “cloud” computing service provider. Given this, along with the fact that switching “cloud” computing services to another provider may be difficult, any problems faced by LG Studios’ “cloud” computing provider, including technological or business-related disruptions, as well as cybersecurity threats and regulatory interference, or any unanticipated interference with its current “cloud” service provider could impact LG Studios’ operations and its business could be adversely impacted.

LG Studios’ activities are subject to stringent and evolving obligations which may adversely impact its operations. LG Studios’ actual or perceived failure to comply with such obligations could lead to regulatory investigations or actions; litigation; fines and penalties; disruptions of its business operations; reputational harm; loss of revenue or profits; loss of customers or sales; and other adverse business consequences.

Data Privacy and Security. In the ordinary course of its business, LG Studios collects, generates, uses, stores, processes, discloses, transmits, shares and transfers (collectively “processing”) personal data and other sensitive information, including proprietary and confidential business data, trade secrets, intellectual property, and third-party data, through its websites and applications and those of third parties. Among other purposes, LG Studios uses this information to engage with users, promote its programming, and monitor the use of its digital platforms. LG Studios’ collection and use of personal data may subject it to numerous data privacy and security obligations, such as various laws, regulations, guidance, industry standards, external and internal privacy and security policies, contractual requirements, and other obligations relating to data privacy and security.

In the U.S, federal, state, and local governments have enacted numerous data privacy and security laws, including data breach notification laws, personal data privacy laws, consumer protection laws (e.g., Section 5 of the Federal

24

Trade Commission Act and the Controlling the Assault of Non-Solicited Pornography and Marketing Act), and other similar laws (e.g., wiretapping laws). For example, in the past few years, numerous U.S. states—including California, Virginia, Colorado, Connecticut, and Utah—have enacted comprehensive privacy laws that impose certain obligations on covered businesses, including providing specific disclosures in privacy notices and affording residents with certain rights concerning their personal data. As applicable, such rights may include the right to access, correct, or delete certain personal data, and to opt-out of certain data processing activities, such as targeted advertising, profiling, and automated decision-making. The exercise of these rights may impact LG Studios’ business and ability to provide its products and services. Certain states also impose stricter requirements for processing certain personal data, including sensitive information, such as conducting data privacy impact assessments. These state laws allow for statutory fines for noncompliance. For example, the California Consumer Privacy Act of 2018 (“CCPA”) allows for civil penalties (up to $7,500 per intentional violation). Similar laws are being considered in several other states, as well as at the federal and local levels. These developments further complicate compliance efforts and increase legal risk and compliance costs for LG Studios and the third parties upon whom LG Studios relies.

Outside the U.S, an increasing number of laws, regulations, and industry standards apply to data privacy and security. For example, the European Union’s General Data Protection Regulation (“EU GDPR”), the United Kingdom’s GDPR (“UK GDPR” and, together with the EU GDPR, “EU GDPR”), the EU Digital Services Act, Brazil’s General Data Protection Law (Lei Geral de Proteção de Dados Pessoais, or “LGPD”) (Law No. 13,709/2018) and Canada’s Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (“PIPEDA”) impose strict requirements for processing personal data. For example, under the GDPR, companies may face temporary or definitive bans on data processing and other corrective actions; fines of up to 20 million Euros (under the EU GDPR) or, 17.5 million pounds sterling (under the UK GDPR), or 4% of annual global revenue, whichever is greater; or private litigation related to processing of personal data brought by classes of data subjects or consumer protection organizations authorized at law to represent their interests. As another example, in Canada, PIPEDA and various related provincial laws, as well as Canada’s Anti-Spam Legislation (“CASL”), may apply to LG Studios’ operations, as well as the LGPD in Brazil. The LGPD broadly regulates processing personal data of individuals in Brazil and imposes compliance obligations and penalties comparable to those of the GDPR.

Additionally, regulators are increasingly scrutinizing companies that process children’s data. Numerous laws, regulations, and legally-binding codes, such as the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act (“COPPA”), California’s Age Appropriate Design Code, CCPA, other U.S. state comprehensive privacy laws, GDPR, and the UK Age Appropriate Design Code impose various obligations on companies that process children’s data, including requiring certain consents to process such data and extending certain rights to children and their parents with respect to that data. Some of these obligations have wide ranging applications, including for services that do not intentionally target child users (defined in some circumstances as a user under the age of 18 years old). These laws may be, or in some cases, have already been, subject to legal challenges and changing interpretations, which may further complicate LG Studios’ efforts to comply with these laws.

LG Studios’ may be subject to new laws governing the processing of consumer health data, including by providing for reproductive, sexual orientation, and gender identity privacy rights. For example, Washington’s My Health My Data Act (“MHMD”) broadly defines consumer health data, places restrictions on processing consumer health data (including imposing stringent requirements for consents), provides consumers certain rights with respect to their health data, and creates a private right of action to allow individuals to sue for violations of the law. Other states are considering and may adopt similar laws.

Additionally, under various privacy laws (such as the Video Privacy Protection Act) and other obligations, LG Studios’ may be required to obtain certain consents to process personal data. Noncompliance with such obligations is increasingly subject to challenges by class action plaintiffs. LG Studios’ inability or failure to obtain such consents could result in adverse consequences.

25

In the ordinary course of business, LG Studios may transfer personal data from Europe and other jurisdictions to the U.S. or other countries. Europe and other jurisdictions have enacted laws requiring data to be localized or limiting the transfer of personal data to other countries. In particular, the European Economic Area (“EEA”) and the United Kingdom (“UK”) have significantly restricted the transfer of personal data to the U.S. and other countries whose privacy laws it believes are inadequate. Other jurisdictions may adopt similarly stringent interpretations of their data localization and cross-border data transfer laws. Although there are currently various mechanisms that may be used to transfer personal data from the EEA and UK to the U.S. in compliance with law, such as the EEA standard contractual clauses, the UK’s International Data Transfer Agreement / Addendum, and the EU-U.S. Data Privacy Framework and the UK extension thereto (which allows for transfers to relevant U.S.-based organizations who self-certify compliance and participate in the Framework), these mechanisms are subject to legal challenges, and there is no assurance that LG Studios can satisfy or rely on these measures to lawfully transfer personal data to the U.S.

If there is no lawful manner for LG Studios to transfer personal data from the EEA, the UK or other jurisdictions to the U.S., or if the requirements for a legally-compliant transfer are too onerous, LG Studios could face significant adverse consequences, including the interruption or degradation of its operations, the need to relocate part of or all its business or data processing activities to other jurisdictions at significant expense, increased exposure to regulatory actions, substantial fines and penalties, the inability to transfer data and work with partners, vendors and other third parties, and injunctions against processing or transferring of personal data necessary to operate its business. Additionally, companies that transfer personal data out of the EEA and UK to other jurisdictions, particularly to the United States, are subject to increased scrutiny from regulators, individual litigants, and activist groups. Some European regulators have ordered certain companies to suspend or permanently cease certain transfers out of the EEA for allegedly violating the GDPR’s cross-border data transfer limitations.

LG Studios is also bound by contractual obligations related to data privacy and security, and its efforts to comply with such obligations may not be successful. For example, LG Studios is contractually subject to industry standards adopted by industry groups, such as the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (“PCI DSS”). The PCI DSS requires companies to adopt certain measures to ensure the security of cardholder information, including using and maintaining firewalls, adopting proper password protections for certain devices and software, and restricting data access. Noncompliance with PCI-DSS can result in penalties ranging from fines of $5,000 to $100,000 per month by credit card companies, litigation, damage to LG Studios’ reputation, and revenue losses. LG Studios also relies on third parties to process payment card data, who may be subject to PCI DSS, and its business may be negatively affected if these parties are fined or suffer other consequences as a result of PCI DSS noncompliance. Moreover, LG Studios publishes privacy policies, marketing materials and other statements regarding data privacy and security, including as required by applicable laws and regulations. If these policies, materials or statements are found to be deficient, lacking in transparency, deceptive, unfair, or misrepresentative of LG Studios’ practices, it may be subject to investigation, enforcement actions by regulators or other adverse consequences.

Obligations related to data privacy and security (and consumers’ data privacy expectations) are quickly changing, becoming increasingly stringent, and creating uncertainty. Additionally, these obligations may be subject to differing applications and interpretations, which may be inconsistent or conflict among jurisdictions. Preparing for and complying with these obligations requires significant resources and may necessitate changes to LG Studios’ information systems, policies and practices and to those of any third parties upon which it relies.

LG Studios may at times fail (or be perceived to have failed) in efforts to comply with data privacy and security obligations. Moreover, despite its efforts, its personnel or third parties upon whom it relies may fail to comply with such obligations, which could negatively impact LG Studios’ business operations and compliance posture. If LG Studios or the third parties on which it relies fails, or are perceived to have failed, to address or comply with applicable data privacy and security obligations, LG Studios could face significant consequences, including, but not limited to: government enforcement actions (e.g., investigations, fines, penalties, audits, inspections, and

26

similar); litigation (including class-action claims) and mass arbitration demands; additional reporting requirements and/or oversight; bans or restrictions on processing personal data; or orders to destroy or not use personal data. In particular, plaintiffs have become increasingly active in bringing privacy-related claims against companies, including class claims and mass arbitration demands. Some of these claims allow for the recovery of statutory damages on a per violation basis, and, if viable, carry the potential for monumental statutory damages, depending on the volume of data and the number of violations. Any of these events could have a material adverse effect on LG Studios’ reputation, business, or financial condition, including, but not limited to: loss of customers; interruptions or stoppages in business operations; inability to process personal data or to operate in certain jurisdictions; limited ability to develop or commercialize its products; expenditure of time and resources to defend any claim or inquiry; adverse publicity; or substantial changes to its business model or operations.

Consumer Protection Laws. The continued growth and development of the market for online commerce may lead to more stringent consumer protection laws both domestically and internationally, which may impose additional burdens on LG Studios. In addition, many states have enacted laws regulating automatically renewing online subscription services. If authorities start taking increased enforcement action related to statutes governing perceived unfair deceptive acts and practices, LG Studios could suffer additional costs, complaints and/or regulatory investigations or fines. Other changes in consumer protection laws and the interpretations thereof, could have a materially adverse effect on LG Studios’ business, financial condition and results of operations.

Levies/Taxes. Governments are increasingly looking to introduce regulations related to media and tax that may apply to LG Studios’ services. For example, some international governments have enacted or are considering enacting laws that impose levies and other financial obligations on media operators located outside their jurisdiction. Other changes in levy or tax laws and the interpretations thereof could have a materially adverse effect on LG Studios’ business, financial condition and results of operations.

Service disruptions or failures of LG Studios’ or its third party service providers’ information systems, data and networks may disrupt its businesses, damage its reputation, expose it to regulatory investigations, actions, litigation, fines and penalties or have a negative impact on its results of operations including but not limited to loss of revenue or profit, loss of customers or sales and other adverse consequences.

In the ordinary course of LG Studios’ business, LG Studios and the third parties on which it relies process proprietary, confidential, and sensitive data, including personal data, intellectual property, and trade secrets (collectively, sensitive information). Threats such as cyberattacks, malicious internet-based activity, and online and offline fraud are becoming more prevalent and are increasingly difficult to detect. These threats come from a variety of sources, including traditional computer “hackers,” threat actors, “hacktivists,” personnel (such as through theft or misuse), sophisticated nation-states, and nation-state-supported actors. Some actors now engage and are expected to continue to engage in cyber-attacks, including without limitation nation-state actors for geopolitical reasons and in conjunction with military conflicts and defense activities. During times of war and other major conflicts, LG Studios and the third parties upon which it relies may be vulnerable to a heightened risk of these attacks, including retaliatory cyber-attacks, that could materially disrupt LG Studios’ systems and operations, supply chain, and ability to produce, sell and distribute its goods and services.

LG Studios and the third parties upon which it relies are subject to a variety of evolving threats, including but not limited to social-engineering attacks (including through deep fakes, which may be increasingly more difficult to identify as fake, and phishing attacks), malicious code (such as viruses and worms), malware (including as a result of advanced persistent threat intrusions), denial-of-service attacks, credential stuffing attacks, credential harvesting, personnel misconduct or error, ransomware attacks, supply-chain attacks, software bugs, server malfunctions, software or hardware failures, loss of data or other information technology assets, adware, telecommunications failures, attacks enhanced or facilitated by artificial intelligence, and other similar threats. In particular, ransomware attacks are becoming increasingly prevalent and can lead to significant interruptions in LG Studios’ operations, loss of data and income, reputational harm, and diversion of funds. Extortion payments may alleviate the negative impact of a ransomware attack, but LG Studios may be unwilling or unable to make

27

such payments due to, for example, applicable laws or regulations prohibiting such payments. Further, a partially remote workforce poses increased risks to LG Studios’ information technology systems and data, as certain employees work from home on a full or part-time basis, utilizing network connections outside LG Studios’ premises. Business transactions (such as acquisitions or integrations) could expose LG Studios to additional cybersecurity risks and vulnerabilities, as its systems could be negatively affected by vulnerabilities present in acquired or integrated entities’ systems and technologies. Furthermore, LG Studios may discover security issues that were not found during due diligence of such acquired or integrated entities, and it may be difficult to integrate companies into its information technology environment and security program.

LG Studios relies on third parties to operate critical business systems to process proprietary, confidential or other sensitive data in a variety of contexts, including, without limitation, cloud-based infrastructure (for more, see the Risk Factor titled “LG Studios’ may rely upon “cloud’ computing services to operate certain aspects of its service and any disruption of or interference with its use of its “cloud” computing servicer could impact its operations and its business could be adversely impacted.”), data center facilities, encryption and authentication technology, employee email servers, content delivery systems, and other functions. LG Studios’ ability to monitor these third parties’ information security practices is limited, and these third parties may not have adequate information security measures in place. If these third parties experience a security incident or other interruption, LG Studios could experience adverse consequences. While LG Studios may be entitled to damages if these third parties fail to satisfy their privacy or security-related obligations to it, any award may be insufficient to cover LG Studios’ damages, or LG Studios may be unable to recover such award. Similarly, supply-chain attacks have increased in frequency and severity, and LG Studios cannot guarantee that third parties and infrastructure in its supply chain or its third-party partners’ supply chains have not been compromised.

LG Studios takes steps to detect, mitigate and remediate vulnerabilities in its information systems (such as its hardware or software) and those of the third parties upon which LG Studios relies, but it may not be able to detect and remediate (or have its third party service providers remediate) all such vulnerabilities on a timely basis or at all. Further, LG Studios may experience delays in developing and deploying remedial measures and patches designed to address any such identified vulnerabilities. If not remediated expeditiously, vulnerabilities could be exploited and result in a security incident.

Any of the previously identified or similar threats could cause a security incident or other interruption that could result in unauthorized, unlawful, or accidental acquisition, modification, destruction, loss, alteration, encryption, disclosure of, or access to LG Studios’ sensitive information. A security incident or other interruption could disrupt LG Studios’ ability (and that of third parties upon whom it relies) to provide its services. LG Studios’ may expend significant resources or modify its business activities to try to protect against security incidents. Certain data privacy and security obligations may require LG Studios to implement and maintain specific industry-standard or reasonable security measures to protect its information technology systems and sensitive information. While LG Studios has implemented security measures designed to protect against security incidents, there can be no assurance that these measures will be effective.

Applicable data privacy and security obligations may require LG Studios to notify relevant stakeholders, including affected individuals, customers, regulators, and investors, of security incidents. Such disclosures are costly, and the disclosures or the failure to comply with such requirements could lead to adverse consequences. If LG Studios (or a third party upon whom it relies) experiences a security incident or is perceived to have experienced a security incident, LG Studios may experience adverse consequences, such as: government enforcement actions (for example, investigations, fines, penalties, audits, and inspections); additional reporting requirements and/or oversight; restrictions on processing sensitive information; litigation; indemnification obligations; negative publicity; reputational harm; monetary fund diversions; interruptions in its operations; financial loss; and other similar harms. Security incidents and attendant consequences may cause customers to stop using LG Studios’ services, deter new customers from using LG Studios’ services, and negatively impact LG Studios’ ability to grow and operate its business. LG Studios’ contracts may not contain limitations of liability, and even where they do, there can be no assurance that limitations of liability in its contracts are

28

sufficient to protect it from liabilities, damages, or claims related to its data privacy and security obligations. LG Studios cannot be sure that its insurance coverage will be adequate or sufficient to protect it from or to mitigate liabilities arising out of its privacy and security practices, that such coverage will continue to be available on commercially reasonable terms or at all, or that such coverage will pay future claims.

In addition to experiencing a security incident, third parties may gather, collect, or infer sensitive information about LG Studios from public sources, data brokers, or other means that reveals competitively sensitive details about its organization and could be used to undermine its competitive advantage or market position.

LG Studios may incur debt obligations that could adversely affect its business and profitability and its ability to meet other obligations.

LG Studios and certain of its subsidiaries completed one or more financing transactions on or prior to the completion of the Business Combination. As a result of such transactions, LG Studios expects to have approximately $1,587.7 million of corporate intercompany indebtedness upon completion of the Business Combination pursuant to an intercompany note and assumption agreement (the “Intercompany Note”) between Lions Gate Television Inc., a Delaware corporation and subsidiary of LG Studios (“LGTV”), and Lions Gate Capital Holdings LLC , a Delaware limited liability company and subsidiary of Lions Gate Parent (“LGCH”). Additionally, LGAC International LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and subsidiary of LG Studios (“LGAC International”), and Lions Gate Capital Holdings 1, Inc., a Delaware corporation and subsidiary of Lions Gate Parent (“LGCH1”), entered into a revolving credit agreement pursuant to which LGAC International and LGCH1 agreed to make revolving loans to each other from time to time, provided that the net amount owing by one party to the other at any particular time may not exceed $150.0 million. Upon completion of the Business Combination, LG Studios and certain of its subsidiaries will also continue to provide a guarantee of Lions Gate Parent’s obligations under (i) the Lions Gate Parent Credit Agreement, (ii) the Lions Gate Parent Indenture and 5.500% senior notes due 2029 issued thereunder and (iii) the Lions Gate Parent Exchange Indenture and 5.500% exchange notes due 2029 issued thereunder. LG Studios and certain of its subsidiaries will also continue to grant liens on and pledge collateral in favor of the collateral agent on behalf of the secured parties under the Lions Gate Parent Credit Agreement. LG Studios may also incur additional indebtedness in the future. As of December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023, the Studio Business has corporate debt of approximately $1,604.4 million and $1,259.9 million, respectively, and film related obligations of approximately $1,821.5 million and $1,951.5 million, respectively. The Studio Business’ Intercompany Note provides for revolving credit commitments of $1.10 billion. The Studio Business’s debt service obligations (principal and interest) on its corporate debt and film related obligations outstanding as of December 31, 2023 over the next twelve months is estimated to be approximately $1,428.4 million. This amount is based on the applicable SOFR rate as of December 31, 2023, and is net of payments and receipts from the Studio Business’s interest rate swaps under the Studio Business’ Intercompany Note and excludes amounts that may be required for future borrowings under the revolving credit line portion of the Studio Business’ Intercompany Note. The debt service amounts exclude amounts due at maturity associated with the Studio Business’ Intercompany Note including amounts reflective of Lions Gate Parent’s Term Loan A, which may be accelerated to December 2024 if amounts in excess of $250 million remain outstanding under Lions Gate Parent’s Term Loan B and have not been repaid, refinanced or extended to have a maturity on or after July 6, 2026. Interest paid on the weighted average borrowings under the line of credit of approximately $281.7 million amounted to $22.1 million during the nine months ended December 31, 2023.

This significant amount of debt could potentially have important consequences to LG Studios and its debt and equity investors, including:

• requiring a substantial portion of its cash flow from operations to make interest payments;

• making it more difficult to satisfy debt service and other obligations;

• increasing the risk of a future credit ratings downgrade of its debt, which could increase future debt costs and limit the future availability of debt financing;

29

• increasing its vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

• reducing the cash flow available to fund capital expenditures and other corporate purposes and to grow its business;

• limiting LG Studios’ flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in its business and the industry;

• placing LG Studios at a competitive disadvantage relative to its competitors that may not be as highly leveraged with debt; and

• limiting LG Studios’ ability to borrow additional funds as needed or take advantage of business opportunities as they arise, pay cash dividends or repurchase Pubco Common Shares.

To the extent that LG Studios incurs additional indebtedness, the foregoing risks could increase. In addition, LG Studios’ actual cash requirements in the future may be greater than expected. Its cash flow from operations may not be sufficient to repay all of the outstanding debt as it becomes due, and LG Studios may not be able to borrow money, sell assets or otherwise raise funds on acceptable terms, or at all, to refinance its debt. For more information, see “StudioCo Relationships and Related Party Transactions – Intercompany Note and Assumption Agreement.”

The terms of the Lions Gate Parent Credit Agreement and the Lions Gate Parent Exchange Indenture restrict LG Studios’ current and future operations, particularly LG Studios’ ability to respond to changes or to take certain actions.

Upon completion of the Business Combination, LG Studios will remain subject to the covenants contained in the Lions Gate Parent Credit Agreement, Lions Gate Parent Indenture, and the Lions Gate Parent Exchange Indenture. The Lions Gate Parent Credit Agreement and the Lions Gate Parent Exchange Indenture contain a number of restrictive covenants that impose significant operating and financial restrictions on LG Studios and limit LG Studios’ ability to engage in acts that may be in LG Studios’ long-term best interest, including restrictions on LG Studios’ ability to: incur, assume or guarantee additional indebtedness; issue certain disqualified stock; pay dividends or distributions or redeem or repurchase capital stock; prepay, redeem or repurchase debt that is junior in right of payment to the debt under the Lions Gate Parent Credit Agreement and the notes under the Lions Gate Parent Indenture and Lions Gate Parent Exchange Indenture; make loans or investments; incur liens; restrict dividends, loans or asset transfers from Lions Gate Parent restricted subsidiaries; sell or otherwise dispose of assets, including capital stock of subsidiaries and sale/leaseback transactions; consolidate or merge with or into, or sell substantially all assets to, another person; enter into transactions with affiliates; and enter into new lines of business.

In addition, the Lions Gate Parent Credit Agreement requires Lions Gate Parent to maintain specified financial ratios, tested quarterly. Lions Gate Parent’s ability to meet those financial ratios can be affected by events beyond LG Studios’ control, including the effects on Lions Gate Parent’s or LG Studios’ business from global pandemics and related government actions and consumer behavior; as such, Lions Gate Parent may be unable to meet such financial ratios.

A breach of the covenants under the Lions Gate Parent Credit Agreement, the Lions Gate Parent Indenture, or the Lions Gate Parent Exchange Indenture, or nonpayment of any principal or interest due thereunder, could result in an event of default under the applicable indebtedness. Such a default may allow the creditors to accelerate the related debt and may result in the acceleration of any other debt to which a cross-acceleration or cross-default provision applies. In addition, an event of default under the Lions Gate Parent Credit Agreement would permit the lenders under the Lions Gate Parent revolving facility to which LG Studios will have access pursuant to the Intercompany Note to terminate all commitments to extend further credit thereunder. Furthermore, if Lions Gate Parent were unable to repay the amounts due and payable under the Lions Gate Parent Credit Agreement, the lenders thereof could proceed against the collateral granted to them to secure the credit facilities outstanding under the Lions Gate Parent Credit Agreement. In the event Lions Gate Parent’s lenders or noteholders accelerate

30

the repayment of the borrowings outstanding under the Lions Gate Parent Credit Agreement, Lions Gate Parent Indenture, or Lions Gate Parent Exchange Indenture, Lions Gate Parent and its subsidiaries including LG Studios and its subsidiaries may not have sufficient assets to repay that indebtedness.

The U.S. Internal Revenue Service may not agree that LG Studios should be treated as a non-U.S. corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes and may not agree that its U.S. affiliates should not be subject to certain adverse U.S. federal income tax rules.

Under current U.S. federal tax law, a corporation is generally considered for U.S. federal tax purposes to be a tax resident in the jurisdiction of its organization or incorporation. Because LG Studios is incorporated outside of the U.S., it would generally be classified as a non-U.S. corporation (and, therefore, a non-U.S. tax resident) under these rules. However, Section 7874 of the Code (“Section 7874”) provides an exception to this general rule under which a non-U.S. incorporated entity may, in certain circumstances, be treated as a U.S. corporation (or surrogate foreign corporation) for U.S. federal tax purposes if it acquires a domestic entity (referred to as a “domestic entity acquisition”), and after the domestic entity acquisition, 80% or more (by vote or value) of the non-U.S. incorporated entity’s stock (60% or more for purposes of a surrogate foreign corporation determination) is held by former shareholders of the domestic entity by reason of holding stock in the domestic entity. This exception generally does not apply to situations in which, prior to the domestic entity acquisition, 80% or more (by vote and value) of the stock of the domestic entity was held directly or indirectly by a parent corporation (referred to as the “common parent”), and, after the domestic entity acquisition, the same common parent holds 80% or more (by vote and value) of the stock of the non-U.S. incorporated entity (referred to as the “internal group restructuring exception”). The internal group restructuring exception is preserved notwithstanding the common parent’s related transfer of the non-U.S. incorporated entity stock to its shareholders.

There is limited guidance regarding the application of Section 7874, including the application of the rules to the facts as they may exist at the time of the closing of the Business Combination. If LG Studios were to be treated as a U.S. corporation for federal tax purposes, it could be subject to substantially greater U.S. tax liability than currently contemplated as a non-U.S. corporation. In addition, non-U.S. shareholders of LG Studios would be subject to U.S. withholding tax on the gross amount of any dividends paid by LG Studios to such shareholders (subject to an exemption or reduced rate available under an applicable tax treaty). Alternatively, if LG Studios were to be treated as a surrogate foreign corporation for U.S. federal tax purposes, it and its U.S. affiliates (including the U.S. affiliates historically owned by it) may, in some circumstances, be subject to certain adverse U.S. federal income tax rules (which, among other things, could limit its ability to utilize certain U.S. tax attributes to offset U.S. taxable income or to offset the gain resulting from certain transactions).

Future changes to U.S. and non-U.S. tax laws could adversely affect LG Studios.

The U.S. Congress, the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (“OECD”) and other government agencies in jurisdictions where LG Studios and its affiliates conduct business have had an extended focus on issues related to the taxation of multinational corporations. For the past several years, the primary focus has been in the area of “base erosion and profit shifting,” including situations where payments are made between affiliates from a jurisdiction with high tax rates to a jurisdiction with lower tax rates. As part of its so-called Base Erosion and Profit Shifting (“BEPS”) project, OECD and the G-20 developed changes to numerous long-standing international tax principles. More recently, countries are increasingly seeking ways to tax what is sometimes referred to as the digitalized economy. For example, in response to the increasing globalization and digitalization of trade and business operations, OECD is working on a proposal as an extension of its BEPS project to establish a global minimum corporate taxation rate. The rules are designed to ensure that large multinational groups pay corporate income taxes at the minimum rate of 15% in the countries where they operate. The goal is for OECD members to enact domestic legislation implementing these rules effective beginning 2024.

Tax laws are dynamic and subject to change as new laws are passed and new interpretations of the law are issued or applied. The U.S. has enacted significant tax reform, and certain provisions of the law may adversely affect

31

LG Studios. Many countries in the European Union, as well as a number of other countries and organizations such as OECD, are increasingly scrutinizing the tax positions of companies and actively considering changes to existing tax laws that, if enacted, could increase LG Studios’ tax obligations in countries where it does business. For example, the United Kingdom increased its corporate tax rate from 19% to 25%, starting in April 2023. There can be no assurance that Canadian federal income tax laws, the judicial interpretation thereof, or the administrative policies and assessing practices of the Canada Revenue Agency will not be changed in a manner that adversely affects LG Studios or the holders of LG Studios common stock. If U.S. or other tax authorities change applicable tax laws, LG Studios’ overall taxes could increase, and LG Studios’ business, financial condition or results of operations may be adversely impacted.

Changes in foreign, state and local tax incentives may increase the cost of original programming content to such an extent that they are no longer feasible.

Original programming requires substantial financial commitment, which can occasionally be offset by foreign, state or local tax incentives. However, there is a risk that the tax incentives will not remain available for the duration of a series. If tax incentives are no longer available or reduced substantially, it may result in increased costs for it to complete the production, or make the production of additional seasons more expensive. If LG Studios is unable to produce original programming content on a cost-effective basis, its business, financial condition and results of operations would be materially adversely affected.

LG Studios’ tax rate is uncertain and may vary from expectations.

There is no assurance that LG Studios will be able to maintain any particular worldwide effective corporate tax rate because of uncertainty regarding the tax policies in the jurisdictions in which it and its affiliates operate. LG Studios’ actual effective tax rate may vary from its expectations, and such variance may be material. Additionally, tax laws or their implementation and applicable tax authority practices in any particular jurisdiction could change in the future, possibly on a retroactive basis, and any such change could have an adverse impact on LG Studios and its affiliates.

Legislative or other governmental action in the U.S. could adversely affect LG Studios’ business.

Legislative action may be taken by the U.S. Congress that, if ultimately enacted, could limit the availability of tax benefits or deductions that LG Studios expects to claim, override tax treaties upon which it expects to rely, or otherwise increase the taxes that the U.S. imposes on LG Studios’ worldwide operations. Such changes could materially adversely affect LG Studios’ effective tax rate and/or require it to take further action, at potentially significant expense, to seek to preserve its effective tax rate. In addition, if proposals were enacted that had the effect of limiting LG Studios’ ability as a Canadian company to take advantage of tax treaties with the U.S., it could incur additional tax expense and/or otherwise incur business detriment.

Changes in, or interpretations of, tax rules and regulations, and changes in geographic operating results, may adversely affect LG Studios’ effective tax rates.

LG Studios is subject to income taxes in Canada, the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions. It also conducts business and financing activities between its entities in various jurisdictions and it is subject to complex transfer pricing regulations in the countries in which it operates. Although uniform transfer pricing standards are emerging in many of the countries in which it operates, there is still a relatively high degree of uncertainty and inherent subjectivity in complying with these rules. In addition, due to economic and political conditions, tax rates in various jurisdictions may be subject to significant change. LG Studios’ future effective tax rates could be affected by changes in tax laws or regulations or the interpretation thereof (including those affecting the allocation of profits and expenses to differing jurisdictions), by changes in the amount of revenue or earnings that it derives from international sources in countries with high or low statutory tax rates, by changes in the valuation of its deferred tax assets and liabilities, by changes in the expected timing and amount of the release of any tax

32

valuation allowance, or by the tax effects of stock-based compensation. Unanticipated changes in its effective tax rates could affect its future results of operations. Further, LG Studios may be subject to examination of its income tax returns by federal, state, and foreign tax jurisdictions. LG Studios regularly assesses the likelihood of outcomes resulting from possible examinations to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes. In making such assessments, it exercises judgment in estimating its provision for income taxes. While LG Studios believes its estimates are reasonable, it cannot assure you that final determinations from any examinations will not be materially different from those reflected in its historical income tax provisions and accruals. Any adverse outcome from any examinations may have an adverse effect on its business and operating results, which could cause the market price of its securities to decline.

If LG Studios is a “passive foreign investment company,” or “PFIC,” U.S. Holders of Offering Shares may suffer adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences.

If LG Studios is a PFIC for any taxable year (or portion thereof) that is included in the holding period of a U.S. Holder (as defined below in the section entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for U.S. Holders”), the U.S. Holder may be subject to adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences with respect to the ownership and disposition of Offering Shares, and may be subject to additional reporting requirements.

Because the timing of the Business Combination is uncertain and PFIC status is based on income, assets and activities for the entire taxable year and will be determined based on the assets and activities of the combined business, it is not possible to determine LG Studios’ PFIC status until after the close of the current taxable year. In addition, the determination of PFIC status is fundamentally factual in nature and depends on the application of complex U.S. federal income tax rules that are subject to differing interpretations. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that LG Studios will not be treated as a PFIC for the current taxable year or any future taxable year. In addition, the U.S. counsel to LG Studios expresses no opinion with respect to the PFIC status of LG Studios for any taxable year.

If a U.S. Holder holds (is deemed to hold) Offering Shares while LG Studios (or any of its successors) is a PFIC, unless the U.S. Holder makes certain elections, LG Studios will continue to be treated as a PFIC with respect to such U.S. Holder during subsequent years, whether or not LG Studios is treated as a PFIC in those years.

U.S. Holders are strongly urged to consult with their own tax advisors to determine the application of the PFIC rules to them in their particular circumstances and any resulting tax consequences. Please see the subsection entitled “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations for U.S. Holders—Passive Foreign Investment Company Considerations” for a more detailed discussion with respect to the PFIC status of LG Studios and the resulting tax consequences to U.S. Holders.

Risks Related to Ownership of LG Studios’ Securities

LG Studios cannot be certain that an active trading market for its common shares will develop or be sustained after the Business Combination, and following the completion of the Business Combination, its share price may fluctuate significantly as a result of numerous factors beyond LG Studios’ control.

Pubco Common Shares are expected to begin trading one business day after the Closing Date. LG Studios cannot guarantee that an active trading market for its common shares will develop or be sustained after the Business Combination, nor can LG Studios predict the prices at which its common shares may trade after the Business Combination.

The market price of Pubco Common Shares may decline or fluctuate significantly due to a number of factors, many of which may be beyond LG Studios’ control, including:

• actual or anticipated fluctuations in LG Studios’ operating results;

• potential loss of revenue from the Studio Business;

33

• potential loss of revenue from the Starz Business;

• the operating and stock price performance of comparable companies;

• changes in the LG Studios Board or management;

• changes in LG Studios’ capital structure, such as future issuances of debt or equity securities;

• changes in reputation concerning the content LG Studios offers;

• labor disputes, strikes or work stoppages that may impact LG Studios, LG Studios’ partners, suppliers, etc.;

• price and volume fluctuations in the overall stock market, including as a result of trends in the economy as a whole;

• fluctuation of interest rates, exchange rates, taxes, inflationary pressure;

• changes in the regulatory and legal environment under which LG Studios operates; and

• other events or factors, including those resulting from pandemics or other public health crises, war, incidents of terrorism or responses to these events.

Over the past several years, the stock market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations and companies have been experiencing volatility in the market price of their securities which are unrelated or disproportionate to their operating results. Shareholders have instituted securities class action litigation against companies following periods of volatility in the market price of their securities. Any similar litigation against LG Studios could result in substantial costs, divert management’s attention and resources and harm its business, financial condition and results of operations.

LG Studios does not expect to pay any cash dividends for the foreseeable future.

LG Studios currently intends to retain future earnings to finance and grow its business. As a result, LG Studios does not expect to pay any cash dividends for the foreseeable future. All decisions regarding the payment of dividends by LG Studios will be made in the sole discretion of the LG Studios Board from time to time in accordance with applicable law. There can be no assurance that LG Studios will have sufficient surplus under applicable law to be able to pay any dividends at any time in the future. This may result from extraordinary cash expenses, actual costs exceeding contemplated costs, funding of capital expenditures or increases in reserves. If LG Studios does not pay dividends, the price of Pubco Common Shares that you receive in the Business Combination must appreciate for you to receive a gain on your investment. This appreciation may not occur. Further, you may have to sell some or all of your shares of Pubco Common Shares in order to generate cash flow from your investment.

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or publish misleading or unfavorable research about LG Studios’ business, LG Studios’ share price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for Pubco Common Shares will depend in part on the research and reports that securities or industry analysts publish about it or its business. LG Studios does not currently have and may never obtain separate research coverage for its common shares. If there is no research coverage, Pubco Common Shares may be negatively impacted. If LG Studios obtains research coverage for its common shares and if one or more of the analysts downgrades Pubco Common Shares or publishes unfavorable research about LG Studios’ business, its share price may decline. If one or more of the analysts cease coverage of Pubco Common Shares or fail to publish reports on it regularly, demand for Pubco Common Shares could decrease, which could cause the price or trading volume of Pubco Common Shares to decline.

Upon consummation of the Business Combination, the rights and obligations of a Pubco shareholder will be governed by British Columbia law and may differ from the rights and obligations of shareholders of companies organized under the laws of other jurisdictions.

Like Lions Gate Parent, in connection with the Business Combination, LG Studios was incorporated and exists under the laws of British Columbia. Accordingly, its corporate structure as well as the rights and obligations of

34

the holders of Pubco Common Shares may be different from the rights and obligations of shareholders of companies incorporated or organized under the laws of other jurisdictions and may be less favorable to the rights of holders of SEAC Class A Ordinary Shares arising under Cayman Islands law and the SEAC Articles. For a more detailed description of the rights of holders of Pubco Common Shares, please see the section entitled “Description of Pubco Securities.” The form of the Pubco Closing Articles is attached as Annex C to the Form S-4/A, and you are urged to read it.

A significant number of Pubco Common Shares may be sold into the market in the near future. This could cause the market price of Pubco Common Shares to drop significantly, even if LG Studios’ business is performing well.

Sales by the Selling Shareholders of a substantial number of Pubco Common Shares in the public market could occur at any time after the Registration Statement is declared effective. These sales, or the perception in the market that the holders of a large number of shares intend to sell shares, could reduce the market price of Pubco Common Shares. We are unable to predict the effect that such sales may have on the prevailing market price of Pubco Common Shares. SEAC Public Shareholders as of immediately before the SEAC Merger hold approximately 2.4% of the outstanding Pubco Common Shares, based on the number of Pubco Common Shares outstanding as of the Closing.

Following the Closing, the Lionsgate Holders own Pubco Common Shares representing approximately 87.8% (expected to be 87.2% after the issuance of additional PIPE Shares shortly following the Closing) of the LG Studios Common Shares outstanding, which shares will be subject to lock-up restrictions as further described herein. In addition, the SEAC Holders own 2,010,000 Pubco Common Shares, representing approximately 0.7% of the Pubco Common Shares, which shares will be subject to lock-up restrictions as further described herein. The total number of Offering Shares that may be offered and sold under this prospectus by the Selling Shareholders therefore represents approximately 78.9% of the anticipated public float of the Pubco Common Shares as of immediately following the Closing. The sale of substantial amounts of such Pubco Common Shares in the public market by the Selling Shareholders, or the perception that such sales could occur, could harm the prevailing market price of the Pubco Common Shares. These sales, or the possibility that these sales may occur, also might make it more difficult for LG Studios to sell Pubco Common Shares in the future at a time and at a price that it deems appropriate. There can be no assurance as to the timing of any disposition of Pubco Common Shares by the Selling Shareholders. Despite such a decline in the public trading price, some of the Selling Shareholders may still experience a positive rate of return on the securities they purchased due to the differences in the purchase prices described below.

Given the relatively lower purchase prices that the Selling Shareholders paid to acquire Pubco Common Shares (including SEAC Class A Ordinary Shares that were exchanged for Pubco Common Shares in the Business Combination), these Selling Shareholders, in some instances would earn a positive rate of return on their investment, which may be a significant positive rate of return, depending on the market price of the Pubco Common Shares at the time that such Selling Shareholders choose to sell their Pubco Common Shares, at prices where other Pubco shareholders may not experience a positive rate of return if they were to sell at the same prices. For example, (a) the SEAC Public Shareholders are expected to receive 7,027,873 Pubco Common Shares in exchange for their SEAC Class A Ordinary Shares and SEAC Units, which were originally acquired in the SEAC IPO for a purchase price equivalent to approximately $10.00 per share, (b) certain PIPE Investors acquired or are expected to acquire 16,218,402 Pubco Common Shares pursuant to the Subscription Agreements at a purchase price of $9.63 per share, (c) certain PIPE Investors acquired 11,617,871 Pubco Common Shares pursuant to the Subscription Agreements at a purchase price of $10.165 per share, (d) certain PIPE Investors who exercised reduction rights are expected to acquire 193,927 Pubco Common Shares in exchange for their SEAC Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Subscription Agreements at an effective purchase price of $0.0001 per share, and (e) the Non-Redemption Investors acquired 254,200 Pubco Common Shares in exchange for their SEAC Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to the Non-Redemption Agreements at an effective purchase price of $0.0001 per share. Even if the trading price of the Pubco Common Shares is below the price at which the SEAC Units and SEAC Class A Ordinary Shares were issued in the SEAC IPO, some of such Selling Shareholders may have an incentive to sell their Pubco Common Shares because they have purchased their Pubco Common Shares at prices lower, and in some cases

35

significantly lower, than the public investors or the current trading price of the Pubco Common Shares and may profit, in some cases significantly so, even under circumstances in which LG Studios’ public shareholders would experience losses in connection with their investment. For example, assuming sales at the closing price of the Pubco Common Shares on the Nasdaq of $10.10 as of May 14, 2024, (a) with respect to their SEAC Public Shares purchased at $10.00 per share in the initial public offering, the SEAC Public Shareholders may experience a potential profit of up to approximately $0.10 per share, (b) with respect to the PIPE Shares, PIPE Investors who purchased their PIPE Shares at a purchase price of $10.165 per share would not experience a profit and the PIPE Investors who purchased their PIPE shares at a purchase price of $9.63 per share may experience a potential profit of up to approximately $0.47 per share, and (c) with respect to LG Studios Additional Shares, the PIPE Investors and Non-Redemption Investors may experience a potential profit of up to approximately $10.10 per share (which excludes the value of the SEAC Class A Ordinary Shares such PIPE Investors purchased in the open market or otherwise held that were used to offset their commitments under the applicable Subscription Agreements). As such, public shareholders of the Pubco Common Shares have likely paid more, and in some cases significantly more, than certain of the Selling Shareholders for their Pubco Common Shares and would not expect to see a positive return unless the price of the Pubco Common Shares appreciates above the price at which such shareholders purchased their Pubco Common Shares. Investors who purchase Pubco Common Shares on Nasdaq following the Business Combination are unlikely to experience a similar rate of return on the Pubco Common Shares they purchase due to differences in the purchase prices and the current trading price. In addition, sales by the Selling Shareholders may cause the trading prices of Pubco Common Shares to experience a decline, which decline may be significant. As a result, the Selling Shareholders may effect sales of Pubco Common Shares at prices below, in some cases significantly below, the current market price, which could cause market prices to decline further.

Future sales of shares by the Lionsgate Holders could cause the price of Pubco Common Shares to drop significantly.

Lionsgate Holders have a controlling financial interest in LG Studios and own approximately 87.8% (expected to be 87.2% after the issuance of additional PIPE Shares shortly following the Closing) of the voting interest of LG Studios upon the Closing. If the Lionsgate Holders sell or indicate an intention to sell substantial amounts of their Pubco Common Shares in the public market, the trading price of the Pubco Common Shares could decline.

Although the Lionsgate Holders and the SEAC Holders, including the Sponsor, will be subject to restrictions regarding the transfer of shares of Pubco Common Shares held by them following the Business Combination, as described elsewhere in this prospectus, these shares may be sold after the expiration of their respective lock-ups. LG Studios intends to file one or more registration statements prior to or shortly after the closing of the Business Combination to provide for the resale of such shares from time to time. As restrictions on resale end and the registration statements are available for use, the market price of Pubco Common Shares could decline if the holders of currently restricted shares sell them or are perceived by the market as intending to sell them.

Canadian takeover laws may discourage takeover offers being made for LG Studios or may discourage the acquisition of large numbers of Pubco Common Shares.

LG Studios is incorporated in the Province of British Columbia and is subject to the takeover laws of Canada and the Canadian take-over bid regime pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws. In general, a take-over bid is an offer to acquire voting or equity securities of a class made to persons in a Canadian jurisdiction where the securities subject to the bid, together with securities beneficially owned, or over which control or direction is exercised, by a bidder, its affiliates and joint actors, constitute 20% or more of the outstanding securities of that class of securities. Subject to the availability of an exemption, take-over bids in Canada are subject to prescribed rules that govern the conduct of a bid by requiring a bidder to comply with detailed disclosure obligations and procedural requirements. Among other things, a take-over bid must be made to all holders of the class of voting or equity securities being purchased; a bid is required to remain open for a minimum of 105 days subject to certain limited exceptions; a bid is subject to a mandatory, non-waivable minimum tender requirement of more than 50% of the outstanding securities of the class that are subject to the bid, excluding securities beneficially owned, or over which control or direction is exercised, by a bidder, its affiliates and joint actors; and following the satisfaction of the minimum tender requirement towards satisfaction or waiver of all other terms and conditions, a bid is required to be extended for at least an additional 10-day period. There are a limited number of

36

exemptions from the formal take-over bid requirements. In general, certain of these exemptions include the following: (i) the normal course purchase exemption permits the holder of more than 20% of a class of equity or voting securities to purchase up to an additional 5% of the outstanding securities in a 12-month period (when aggregated with all other purchases in that period), provided there must be a published market and the purchaser must pay not more than the “market price” of the securities (as defined) plus reasonable brokerage fees or commissions actually paid; (ii) the private agreement exemption exempts private agreement purchases that result in the purchaser exceeding the 20% take-over bid threshold, provided the agreement must be made with not more than five sellers and the sellers may not receive more than 115% of the “market price” of the securities (as defined); and (iii) the foreign take-over bid exemption exempts a bid from the formal take-over bid requirements if, among other things, less than 10% of the outstanding securities of the class are held by Canadian residents and the published market on which the greatest volume of trading in securities of the class occurred in the 12 months prior to the bid was not in Canada.

Pubco Common Shares are subject to Canadian insolvency laws which are substantially different from Cayman Islands insolvency laws and may offer less protections to Pubco Shareholders compared to Cayman Islands insolvency laws.

As a public company incorporated under the laws of the Province of British Columbia, LG Studios will be subject to Canadian insolvency laws and may also be subject to the insolvency laws of other jurisdictions in which LG Studios will conduct business or hold assets. These laws may apply where any insolvency proceedings or procedures are to be initiated against or by LG Studios. Canadian insolvency laws may offer Pubco Shareholders less protection than they would have had under Cayman Islands insolvency laws and it may be more difficult (or even impossible) for shareholders to recover the amount they could expect to recover in a liquidation under Cayman Islands insolvency laws.

37

USE OF PROCEEDS

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

MARKET PRICE OF AND DIVIDENDS ON PUBCO COMMON SHARES

The Pubco Common Shares began trading on Nasdaq under the symbol “LION” on May 14, 2024. Pubco has not paid any cash dividends on its common shares to date. The amount of any future dividends, if any, that Pubco intends to pay to its shareholders will be determined by the Board at its discretion, and is dependent on a number of factors, including its financial position, results of operations, cash flows, capital requirements and restrictions under its credit agreements, and shall be in compliance with applicable law. Pubco cannot guarantee the amount of dividends paid in the future, if any.

As of the Closing Date and following the completion of the Business Combination, there are approximately 288,681,244 shares of Pubco Common Shares issued and outstanding held of record by 93 holders. On May 14, 2024, the closing price of the Pubco Common Shares was $10.10.

Following the Closing, 255,445,794 shares of Pubco Common Shares will be held by Studio HoldCo, SEAC Sponsor, and permitted transferees of SEAC Sponsor, who have each entered into the A&R Registration Rights Agreement with respect to such shares (see “—StudioCo Relationships and Related Party Transactions—Registration Rights”). 28,284,400 Pubco Common Shares will be held by the PIPE Investors or Non-Redemption Investors subject to the registration rights set forth in the respective Subscription agreements and/or Non-Redemption Agreements. 7,027,873 Pubco Common Shares are held by former SEAC Public Shareholders, including certain PIPE Investors and Non-Redemption Investors.

UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information presents the combination of the financial information of LG Studios and SEAC adjusted to give effect to the Business Combination, the acquisition of eOne and other transactions (together with the Business Combination and the acquisition of eOne, the “Transactions”). The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 combines the historical balance sheets of LG Studios and SEAC on a pro forma basis as if the Transactions had been consummated on December 31, 2023. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and year ended March 31, 2023 combines the historical statements of operations of LG Studios, eOne and SEAC for such periods on a pro forma basis as if the Transactions had been consummated on April 1, 2022, the beginning of the earliest period presented. LG Studios’ fiscal year ends on March 31, eOne’s fiscal year ends on the last Sunday in December and SEAC’s fiscal year ends on December 31. The pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented on the basis of LG Studios’ fiscal year and combines the historical results of the fiscal periods of LG Studios, eOne and SEAC.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been presented for illustrative purposes only and is not necessarily indicative of the financial position and operating results that would have been achieved had the Transactions occurred on the dates indicated. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not purport to project the future financial position or operating results of LG Studios following the completion of the Transactions and may not be useful in predicting the future financial condition and results of operations of LG Studios following the Closing. The actual financial position and results of operations may differ significantly from the pro forma amounts reflected in this prospectus due to a variety of factors. Assumptions and estimates underlying the unaudited pro forma adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information are described in the accompanying notes. The unaudited pro forma adjustments represent management’s estimates based on information available as of the date on which this unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is prepared and are subject to change as additional information becomes available and analyses are performed.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information was derived from and should be read together with the accompanying notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, financial statements of LG Studios, eOne and SEAC which are included elsewhere in this prospectus, sections titled, “LG Studios’ Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and “SEAC’s Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and other information relating to LG Studios, eOne and SEAC contained in this prospectus, including the Business Combination Agreement, as amended, and the description of certain terms thereof set forth in the section titled “The Business Combination.”

Description of the Business Combination

On the Closing Date, New SEAC, SEAC, MergerCo, New BC Sub, Lions Gate Parent, Studio HoldCo and StudioCo consummated the previously announced Business Combination, in accordance with the Business Combination Agreement dated as of December 22, 2023, as amended on April 11, 2024 and May 9, 2024, pursuant to which LG Studios was combined with SEAC through a series of transactions, including an amalgamation of StudioCo and New SEAC under a Canadian plan of arrangement, resulting in the formation of a new, standalone publicly-traded entity and successor to New SEAC, Lionsgate Studios Corp. (also referred to herein as Pubco or LG Studios), with Lions Gate Parent having a controlling financial interest.

As previously disclosed or disclosed elsewhere in this prospectus, SEAC, New SEAC and Lions Gate Parent entered into Subscription Agreements with the PIPE Investors pursuant to which the PIPE Investors agreed,

41

subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to subscribe for and purchase from LG Studios, immediately following the Amalgamations, an aggregate of approximately 18,172,378 Pubco Common Shares (the “Original PIPE Shares”), at a purchase price of $9.63 per share and 11,617,871 Pubco Common Shares (the “Additional PIPE Shares” and together with the Original PIPE Shares, the “PIPE Shares”), at a purchase price of $10.165 per share. The PIPE Shares were to provide for an aggregate cash amount of approximately $293.1 million. Pursuant to the Subscription Agreements, certain of the PIPE Investors could elect to offset their total commitments under their Subscription Agreements (the “Reduction Right”), on a one-for-one basis, up to the total amount of PIPE Shares subscribed thereunder, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the applicable Subscription Agreement. Prior to the Closing, PIPE Investors exercised such Reduction Rights with respect to 1,953,976 PIPE Shares, which reduced the number of PIPE Shares to be issued in connection with the Closing to 27,836,273, for an aggregate cash amount of approximately $274.3 million. At Closing 25,759,430 PIPE Shares were issued, for an aggregate cash amount of approximately $254.3 million. Subsequent to Closing, 2,076,843 PIPE Shares, for which subscriptions have been received are expected to be issued for an aggregate cash amount of approximately $20.0 million.

As previously disclosed or disclosed elsewhere in this prospectus, SEAC and New SEC entered into Non-Redemption Agreements with the Non-Redemption Investors. Pursuant and subject to the Non-Redemption Agreements, for every SEAC Class A Ordinary Share (the “Purchase Commitment Shares”) purchased or held by the Non-Redemption Investors thereunder, such Non-Redemption Investors were entitled to purchase from SEAC 0.0526 newly issued SEAC Class A Ordinary Shares, at a purchase price of $0.0001 per whole share (the “NRA Shares,” together with the Reduction Rights Shares, the “Additional Shares”). Pursuant to the Non-Redemption Agreements, in connection with the Closing, Non-Redemption Investors purchased an aggregate of 254,200 NRA Shares at a purchase price of $0.0001 per share, with respect to an aggregate number of Purchase Commitment Shares equal to 4,832,959 SEAC Class A Ordinary Shares.

An extraordinary general meeting of shareholders of SEAC was held on May 7, 2024 (the “SEAC Shareholders’ Meeting”) where the SEAC shareholders considered and approved, among other matters, a proposal to approve the Business Combination Agreement, including the Arrangement and the Plan of Arrangement, and approve the transaction contemplated thereby.

Prior to the SEAC Shareholders’ Meeting, holders of an aggregate 10,147,350 SEAC Class A Ordinary Shares exercised and did not reverse their right to have such shares redeemed for a pro rata portion of the Trust account, which was approximately $10.774 per share, or approximately $109.3 million in the aggregate. The amount remaining in the Trust account following such redemptions, including any reversals thereof, was $75.7 million.

In connection with and prior to the Closing, the following occurred (not necessarily in the following order):

• Sponsor Securities Repurchase: 16,740,000 SEAC Class B Ordinary Shares held by the SEAC Sponsor in excess of 1,800,000 SEAC Class B Ordinary Shares were repurchased by SEAC in exchange for an aggregate of $1.00 and options to receive an additional 2,200,000 SEAC Class A Ordinary Shares, subject to the terms and conditions of the Sponsor Option Agreement;

• Class B Conversion: each of the remaining 2,010,000 SEAC Class B Ordinary Shares (consisting of the 1,800,000 and 210,000 of SEAC Class B Ordinary Shares held by the SEAC Sponsor and the independent directors and advisors, respectively) automatically converted into one SEAC Class A Ordinary Share;

• Issuance of Reduction Right Shares: As a result of PIPE Investors exercising Reduction Rights, 193,927 newly issued SEAC Class A Ordinary Shares were issued to PIPE Investors, at an aggregate purchase price of $19.39, or $0.0001 per share;

• Issuance of NRA Shares: 254,200 SEAC Class A Ordinary Shares were issued to SEAC Non-Redemption Investors at an aggregate purchase price of $25.42, or $0.0001 per share;

42

• SEAC Merger: As a result of the SEAC Merger, each of the then issued and outstanding SEAC Class A Ordinary Shares, was exchanged for one New SEAC Class A Ordinary Share;

• SEAC Public Warrant Exchange: the SEAC Public Warrant Exchange was effected, whereby each of the then issued and outstanding whole SEAC Public Warrants was automatically exchanged for $0.50 in cash pursuant to the SEAC Warrant Agreement Amendment; and

• SEAC Private Placement Warrant Forfeiture: all of the issued and outstanding private placement warrants were forfeited and cancelled for no consideration.

On the Closing Date, through a series of transactions all of the then-issued and outstanding New SEAC Class A Ordinary Shares were ultimately be converted on a one-to-one basis into SEAC Amalco Common Shares, with SEAC Amalco being the successor to New SEAC.

Pursuant to the StudioCo Amalgamation, on the Closing Date each then-issued and outstanding SEAC Amalco Common Share was cancelled in exchange for one Pubco Common Share and the SEAC Sponsor Option under the Sponsor Option Agreement was converted to an option to receive Pubco Common Shares upon the same terms and conditions as in the Sponsor Option Agreement, and each then issued and outstanding common share, without par value, of StudioCo was cancelled in exchange for 253,435,794 Pubco Common Shares.

In connection with the Closing, LG Studios expects to receive aggregate gross transaction proceeds of approximately $350.0 million, of which approximately $330.0 million was received at Closing and the remaining approximately $20.0 million is expected to be received shortly after Closing, and will transfer the Post-Arrangement Repayment Amount of approximately $317.3 million in cash to a wholly-owned subsidiary of Lions Gate Parent in partial repayment of intercompany financing arrangements between subsidiaries of Lions Gate Parent and subsidiaries of StudioCo.

For more information about the Business Combination, please see the section titled “The Business Combination.”

Accounting Treatment of the Business Combination and Related Transactions

The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP, whereby SEAC is treated as the acquired company and LG Studios is treated as the acquirer. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination is treated as the equivalent of LG Studios issuing stock for the net assets of SEAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of SEAC are stated at fair value, which approximates their historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Subsequently, results of operations presented for the periods prior to the Business Combination will be for those of LG Studios.

LG Studios has been determined to be the accounting acquirer in the Business Combination because LG Studios’ existing equity holder (a wholly owned subsidiary of Lions Gate Parent), has a controlling financial interest in the combined company with an expected 87.2% of the voting interest following the Closing and the ability to nominate and elect the majority of the Pubco Board.

In connection with the Sponsor Securities Repurchase, 2,200,000 SEAC Sponsor Options to receive Pubco Common Shares pursuant to the Sponsor Option Agreement were issued and have an exercise price of $0.0001 per share. The options will become exercisable (i) on or after the date on which the trading price of the Pubco Common Shares (as adjusted for share splits, share dividends, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) equals or exceeds $16.05 per share or (ii) if a Change of Control (as defined in the Sponsor Option Agreement) occurs, subject to certain conditions. The options are not considered compensatory nor will they be granted in exchange for a good or service. As a contingent consideration arrangement, the options meet the requirements for equity classification because they are considered to be indexed to the Pubco Common Shares and would be classified in stockholders’ equity. LG Studios recorded the fair value of the options to equity at the Closing Date.

Description of Acquisition of eOne and Other Transactions

On December 27, 2023, Lions Gate Parent and its subsidiaries completed the acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the companies constituting the eOne business for an aggregate preliminary purchase price of $385.1 million, which reflects the cash purchase price of $375.0 million and an amount for estimated purchase price adjustments including cash, debt and working capital, and the assumption by the Lions Gate Parent of certain production financing indebtedness. Upon closing, eOne is reflected in LG Studios Motion Picture and Television Production segments. Lions Gate Parent funded the acquisition of eOne with a combination of cash on hand and a drawdown of $375.0 million under its revolving credit facility.

On January 2, 2024, Lions Gate Parent closed on the acquisition of an additional 25% of 3 Arts Entertainment representing approximately half of the noncontrolling interest for approximately $194.1 million. In addition, Lions Gate Parent purchased certain profit interests, held by certain managers, and entered into certain option rights agreements providing noncontrolling interest holders the right to sell and Lions Gate Parent the right to purchase their remaining (24%) interest beginning in January 2027. Lions Gate Parent funded the acquisition of additional interest in 3 Arts Entertainment primarily with a drawdown of $194.1 million under its revolving credit facility.

Accounting Treatment of the acquisition of eOne

As LG Studios is determined to be the accounting acquirer in the acquisition of eOne, the acquisition is considered a business combination under Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 805 and was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting. Under the acquisition method of accounting, the total estimated purchase price, has been allocated to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed of eOne based on a preliminary estimate of their fair value, and such estimates are reflected in LG Studios historical combined balance sheet as December 31, 2023. The preliminary allocation of the estimated purchase price is based upon management’s estimates based on information currently available and is subject to revision as a more detailed analysis is completed and additional information on the fair value of the assets and liabilities become available and final appraisals and analysis are completed. LG Studios is still evaluating the fair value of film and television programs and libraries, projects in development, intangible assets, and income taxes, in addition to ensuring all other assets and liabilities and contingencies have been identified and recorded. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting could occur and these differences could be material. A change in the fair value of the net assets of eOne may change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill, and could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations.

Basis of Pro Forma Presentation

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments based on information available as of the date of this prospectus. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented as additional information becomes available. Management considers this basis of presentation to be reasonable under the circumstances.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information gives effect to the Transactions, including:

• Transaction accounting adjustments related to the Business Combination (see Note 4)

• the PIPE, including the impact of PIPE Investors’ exercise of Reduction Rights described above, as applicable;

• the Non-Redemption Agreements, including the issuance of NRA Shares;

• the Sponsor Securities Repurchase and Class B Conversion;

44

• the issuance of New SEAC Class A Ordinary Shares in connection with the SEAC Merger;

• the SEAC Public Warrant Exchange;

• the SEAC Private Placement Warrant Forfeiture;

• the Post-Arrangement Repayment; and

• the related income tax effects of the Business Combination pro forma adjustments.

• eOne acquisition and other transaction accounting adjustments (see Note 6)

• the acquisition of eOne inclusive of the following:

• reclassification of certain eOne historical financial information to conform to LG Studios presentation of similar expenses; and

• other adjustments, including those related to interest expense on the additional drawdown of LG Studios revolving credit facility that was used to finance the acquisition of eOne, and future expense associated with the acquired assets.

• the acquisition of an additional interest in 3 Arts Entertainment for $194.1 million and additional drawdown of LG Studios revolving credit facility to finance the acquisition; and

• the related income tax effects of the eOne acquisition and other transaction pro forma adjustments.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED FINANCIAL INFORMATION

1. Basis of Presentation

The Business Combination is accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with GAAP, whereby SEAC is treated as the acquired company and LG Studios is treated as the acquirer. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the Business Combination is treated as the equivalent of LG Studios issuing stock for the net assets of SEAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of SEAC are stated at fair value, which approximates their historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Subsequently, results of operations presented for the periods prior to the Business Combination will be for those of LG Studios.

As LG Studios was determined to be the accounting acquirer in the acquisition of eOne, the acquisition was considered a business combination under ASC 805, and was accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting. LG Studios recorded the preliminary estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed from eOne upon acquisition, on December 27, 2023. Fair value is defined in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (“ASC 820”) as “the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.” Fair value measurements can be highly subjective, and it is possible the application of reasonable judgment could result in different assumptions resulting in a range of alternative estimates using the same facts and circumstances. The preliminary allocation of the estimated purchase price is based upon management’s estimates based on information currently available and is subject to revision as a more detailed analysis is completed and additional information on the fair value of the assets and liabilities become available and final appraisals and analysis are completed. The preliminary estimated fair value of the assets and liabilities are reflected in the historical balance sheet of LG Studios presented herein; however, LG Studios is still evaluating the fair value of film and television programs and libraries, projects in development, intangible assets, and income taxes, in addition to ensuring all other assets and liabilities and contingencies have been identified and recorded. Differences between these preliminary estimates and the final acquisition accounting could occur and these differences could be material. A change in the fair value of the net assets of eOne may change the amount of the purchase price allocable to goodwill, and could have a material impact on the accompanying unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 gives pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been consummated on December 31, 2023. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 give pro forma effect to the Business Combination as if it had been consummated on April 1, 2022. See Note 4.

LG Studios (as adjusted) in the unaudited proforma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 is derived from the pro forma balance sheet information, as presented in Note 6, which reflects the historical balance sheet of LG Studios, inclusive of the preliminary estimated fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed upon the completed acquisition of eOne, on a pro forma basis as if the other transactions had been consummated on December 31, 2023. Similarly, LG Studios (as adjusted) in the unaudited proforma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 are derived from the pro forma statement of operation information, as presented in Note 6, which combines the historical statements of operations of LG Studios and eOne on a pro forma basis as if the acquisition of eOne and other transactions had been consummated on April 1, 2022.

LG Studios’ fiscal year ends on March 31, eOne’s fiscal year ends on the last Sunday in December and SEAC’s fiscal year ends on December 31. The pro forma condensed combined financial information is presented on the basis of LG Studios’ fiscal year and combines the historical results of the fiscal periods of LG Studios, eOne and SEAC.

50

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

• LG Studios’ unaudited condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus; and

• SEAC’s audited balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

• LG Studios’ unaudited condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus;

• eOne’s unaudited combined statement of operations for the nine months ended October 1, 2023 and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus; and

• SEAC’s unaudited condensed statement of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus, as adjusted to exclude SEAC’s results of operations for the three-months ended March 31, 2023 included in SEAC’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on May 10, 2023. Therefore, SEAC’s net income for the three-months ended March 31, 2023 of $8.0 million is excluded from the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2023.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 has been prepared using, and should be read in conjunction with, the following:

• LG Studios’ audited combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus;

• eOne’s audited combined statement of operations for the fiscal year ended December 25, 2022 and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus; and

• SEAC’s audited statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2022 and the related notes included elsewhere in this prospectus.

The foregoing historical financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on the aforementioned historical financial statements and the assumptions and adjustments as described in the notes to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information. Management has made significant estimates and assumptions in its determination of the pro forma adjustments. As the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared based on these preliminary estimates, the final amounts recorded may differ materially from the information presented.

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information does not give effect to any synergies, operating efficiencies, tax savings or cost savings that may be associated with the Transactions.

The pro forma adjustments reflecting the completion of the Transactions are based on currently available information and assumptions and methodologies that management believes are reasonable under the circumstances. The pro forma adjustments, which are described in the accompanying notes, may be revised as additional information becomes available and is evaluated. Therefore, it is likely that the actual adjustments will differ from the pro forma adjustments and it is possible the difference may be material. Management believes that its assumptions and methodologies provide a reasonable basis for presenting all of the significant effects of the Transactions based on information available to management at the current time.

51

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information is not necessarily indicative of what the actual results of operations and financial position would have been had the Transactions taken place on the dates indicated, nor are they indicative of the future consolidated results of operations or financial position of the post-combination company. They should be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and notes thereto of LG Studios, eOne and SEAC.

2. Accounting Policies

As part of preparing the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information, LG Studios conducted an initial review of the accounting policies and practices of SEAC and eOne to determine if differences in accounting policies and practices require reclassification of results of operations or reclassification of assets or liabilities to conform to LG Studios’ accounting policies and practices. Based on its initial analysis, management did not identify any differences between LG Studios and SEAC that would have a material impact on the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information; however preliminary reclassifications to eOne were identified and are reflected in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information (see Note 6). LG Studios will continue its detailed review of SEAC’s and eOne’s accounting policies and practices and as a result of that review, LG Studios may identify additional differences between the accounting policies and practices of the companies that, when conformed, could have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements of LG Studios following the Closing.

3. Autonomous Entity Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information Related to the Business Combination

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X. The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared to illustrate the effect of the Business Combination and has been prepared for informational purposes only. Autonomous entity adjustments are presented as LG Studios has historically operated as part of Lionsgate and additional contractual agreements were executed to operate as a standalone reporting entity.

Autonomous Entity Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 does not reflect amounts for autonomous entity adjustments as management does not anticipate that the net asset impact derived from the Separation Agreement, Shared Services Agreement, Tax Matters Agreement and Intercompany Note and Assumption Agreement, will be materially different than the historical impact for the net assets that has been allocated by Lionsgate to LG Studios in its historical unaudited condensed combined balance sheet as of December 31, 2023.

Autonomous Entity Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Operations

The autonomous entity adjustments included in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 are as follows:

(A) Reflects an adjustment to the estimated incremental portion of Lions Gate Parent’s corporate general and administrative functions and expenses, including stock based compensation expense for Lions Gate Parent equity awards, related to the corporate functions, that will remain with LG Studios, pursuant to the Shared Services Agreement, and results in additional corporate expenses that will be incurred by LG Studios. The total amount of Lions Gate Parent’s corporate expenses to be recorded by LG Studios reflects all of Lions Gate Parent’s corporate general and administrative expenses, combined, less approximately $7.5 million and $10.0 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, respectively, which pursuant to the Shared Services Agreement are expected to remain with Lions Gate Parent.

52

(B) Reflects the adjustment to income tax expense for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, as a result of the estimated state tax impact on the autonomous entity adjustment. No adjustment is reflected for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 based on LG Studios’ estimated annual effective tax rate for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024 and LG Studios having a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax asset.

4. Transaction Accounting Adjustments to Unaudited Pro Forma Condensed Combined Financial Information related to the Business Combination

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information has been prepared in accordance with Article 11 of Regulation S-X.

The pro forma combined provision for income taxes does not necessarily reflect the amounts that would have resulted had LG Studios following the Closing, filed consolidated income tax returns during the periods presented.

The pro forma basic and diluted earnings per share amounts presented in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations are based upon the number of LG Studios shares outstanding, assuming the Business Combination occurred on April 1, 2022.

LG Studios (as adjusted) in the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 combines the historical statements of operations of LG Studios and eOne for such periods as described in Note 1, on a pro forma basis as if the acquisition of eOne and other transactions had been consummated on April 1, 2022, the beginning of the earliest period presented. As the eOne acquisition occurred on December 27, 2023, the historical statement of operations of LG Studios for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 includes four days of activity of eOne, which was not material.

LG Studios’ acquisition of eOne

LG Studios accounted for the acquisition of eOne as a business combination in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, the purchase price attributable to the acquisition of eOne was allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their preliminary estimated fair values. See Note 2 of LG Studios’ condensed combined financial statements as of and for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 for information on the purchase consideration, fair value estimates of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and resulting goodwill as of the December 27, 2023 acquisition date.

In determining the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the Company considered the purchase price of eOne and the underlying cash flows projected in assessing the purchase price for eOne, the competitive bidding process and perspectives of a market participant. With the exception of eOne’s investment in film and television programs, certain property and equipment and right of use assets, the fair value of eOne’s assets and liabilities were determined to approximate book value, with little subjective estimation required (i.e. the fair value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, participations and residuals, film related obligations and other liabilities were estimated to approximate their book values). The adjustment to the historical carrying value of investment in film and television programs of eOne resulting from the estimate of fair value was the largest subjective adjustment required in allocating the estimated purchase price. Investment in film and television programs includes films and television programs in development,

60

released and unreleased titles and older titles as part of the film and television program library. There are inherent uncertainties in estimating the future cash flows for film and television programs with a higher degree of uncertainty associated with unreleased titles. Such inherent uncertainties could result in a range of estimates in fair value by different market participants.

The preliminary fair value of film and television programs and library was estimated under the principles of ASC 805, which requires assets acquired and liabilities assumed to be measured at fair value as defined in ASC 820 as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. This measurement of fair value will inherently differ from the carrying value of investment in film and television programs and library recorded under ASC 926, Entertainment Films (“ASC 926”)The preliminary estimate of the fair value of investment in film and television programs and acquired library was based on projected cash flows from a market participant perspective and were discounted to present value using a discount rate commensurate with the risk of achieving those cash flows of approximately 11.5%. In addition, the discounted cash flow reflects costs for other items such as taxes, certain contributory asset charges, and overhead, which resulted in the fair value estimated under ASC 820 being less than the carrying values of those assets under ASC 926.

Under ASC 805, where the total purchase price exceeds the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, the excess is reflected as goodwill, and where the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed exceeds the total purchase price, the difference results in a gain on the purchase. The preliminary purchase price allocation resulted in approximately $5.8 million of goodwill. A 10% increase in the valuation of investment in film and television programs would result in a bargain purchase gain of approximately $31.0 million, as compared to a 10% decrease in the valuation of investment in film and television programs which would result in an increase in goodwill of approximately $36.8 million.

Other Adjustments to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined balance sheet

(A) Reflects drawdown of $194.1 million from LG Studios revolving credit facility and increase in cash, which was used to finance the acquisition of the additional interest in 3 Arts Entertainment for $194.1 million. The drawdown on the revolving credit facility is classified as noncurrent debt based on the maturity date of April 6, 2026.

(B) Reflects LG Studios acquisition of an additional 25% of 3 Arts Entertainment (a consolidated majority owned subsidiary) in January 2024 for $194.1 million in cash.

(C) Reflects the reclass of substantially all of the remaining 3 Arts Entertainment noncontrolling interest to other liabilities resulting from the modification of contractual terms, which terms now require liability classification.

PPA Adjustments to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations

The unaudited pro forma condensed combined statement of operations for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 includes the following adjustments:

(AA) Reflects estimated decreases of $49.5 million and $91.6 million in amortization expense for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, respectively, resulting from the preliminary allocation of purchase consideration to investments in film and television programs, subject to amortization, and adjusting the content library to the preliminary fair value. See Note 2 of LG Studios’ condensed combined financial statements as of and for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 for information on the estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, useful lives and amortization method of acquired investments in film and television programs.

(BB) Reflects estimated decreases of $13.5 million and $19.7 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, respectively, in amortization and depreciation expense

61

resulting from the preliminary allocation of purchase consideration to definite-lived intangible assets subject to amortization and property and equipment. See Note 2 of LG Studios’ condensed combined financial statements as of and for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 for information on the estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, useful lives and amortization method of acquired definite-lived intangible assets subject to amortization and property and equipment.

(CC) No income tax adjustment is reflected for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 based on LG Studio’s estimated annual effective tax rate for the fiscal years ending March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and LG Studio having a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax asset.

Other Adjustment to the unaudited pro forma condensed combined statements of operations

(DD) Reflects the estimated incremental interest expense resulting from the $375.0 million drawdown and $194.1 million drawdown from LG Studios revolving credit facility to fund the acquisition of eOne and the acquisition of additional interest in 3 Arts Entertainment for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. The unaudited pro forma financial information reflects an assumed interest rate of 7.16%, based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as of December 27, 2023 and terms of LG Studios’ revolving credit facility. If the actual annual interest rate of the credit facility were to vary by 1/8th of a percent, the pro forma adjustment for interest expense would change by $0.7 million.

(EE) Reflects the adjustment to income tax expense for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, as a result of the estimated state tax impact on the other adjustments. No adjustment is reflected for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 based on LG Studios’ estimated annual effective tax rate for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2024 and LG Studios having a full valuation allowance on its net deferred tax asset.

(FF) Reflects the adjustment to net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests as a result of the decrease in LG Studio’s redeemable noncontrolling interest in 3 Arts Entertainment and resulting reclassification of the remaining noncontrolling interest to other liabilities.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF SEAC

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of Screaming Eagle Acquisition Corp. (for purposes of this section, “SEAC,” “we,” “us” and “our”) as of March 31, 2024 (and does not reflect subsequent events after May 8, 2024) and should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and the notes related thereto which are included elsewhere in this prospectus. Certain information contained in the discussion and analysis set forth below includes forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties. SEAC’s actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of many factors, including those set forth in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Overview

SEAC is a blank check company incorporated on November 3, 2021 as a Cayman Islands exempted company for the purpose of effecting an Initial Business Combination. SEAC’s efforts to identify a prospective Initial Business Combination target have not been limited to a particular industry, sector or geographic region. While SEAC may pursue an Initial Business Combination opportunity in any industry or sector, SEAC intends to capitalize on the ability of the SEAC management team to identify and combine with a business or businesses that could benefit from the SEAC management team’s established global relationships and operating experience.

On January 10, 2022, SEAC consummated the SEAC IPO of the SEAC Units and a private sale (the “Private Placement”) of the SEAC Private Placement Warrants. A total of $750,000,000 comprised of $735,000,000 of the proceeds from the SEAC IPO (which amount included $26,250,000 of the underwriters’ deferred discount) and $15,000,000 of the proceeds of the sale of the private placement warrants was placed in the Trust Account. In accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement, the proceeds were invested in U.S. government treasury obligations with a maturity of 185 days or less or in money market funds meeting certain conditions under Rule 2a-7 under the Investment Company Act which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations until January 2024. On January 26, 2024, SEAC amended the Trust Agreement, to permit Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Trustee”), to hold the assets in the Trust Account in an interest-bearing demand deposit account or cash until the earlier of the consummation of an Initial Business Combination or SEAC’s liquidation. On the same day, SEAC instructed the Trustee to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and move the funds to an interest-bearing demand deposit account, with the Trustee continuing to act as trustee. As a result, following the liquidation of investments in the Trust Account, the remaining proceeds from the SEAC IPO and the Private Placement are no longer invested in U.S. government securities or money market funds.

SEAC intends to effectuate an Initial Business Combination, including the Business Combination, using cash from the proceeds of the SEAC IPO and the private placement of the SEAC Private Placement Warrants, the proceeds of the sale of SEAC Public Shares in connection with the Initial Business Combination, shares issued to the owners of the target, debt issued to bank or other lenders or the owners of the target, other securities issuances, or a combination of the foregoing.

As indicated in the accompanying financial statements, at March 31, 2024, SEAC had an unrestricted cash balance of $437,163 as well as cash and investments held in the Trust Account of $804,228,813. Further, SEAC expects to incur significant costs in the pursuit of an Initial Business Combination. SEAC cannot assure you that its plans to complete an Initial Business Combination will be successful.

Business Combination with StudioCo

On December 22, 2023, SEAC, New SEAC, Lions Gate Parent, Studio HoldCo, StudioCo, MergerCo and New BC Sub, entered into the Business Combination Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things and subject to the terms and conditions contained in the Business Combination Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement,

63

(i) SEAC will merge with and into MergerCo with SEAC Merger Surviving Company as the resulting entity, (ii) SEAC Merger Surviving Company will distribute all of its assets lawfully available for distribution to New SEAC by way of a cash dividend, (iii) SEAC Merger Surviving Company will transfer by way of continuation from the Cayman Islands to British Columbia in accordance with the Companies Act and the BC Act and convert to a British Columbia unlimited liability company in accordance with the applicable provisions of the BC Act, (iv) New SEAC will transfer by way of continuation from the Cayman Islands to British Columbia in accordance with the Companies Act and the BC Act and continue as a British Columbia company in accordance with the applicable provisions of the BC Act, and (v) in pursuant to an arrangement under Division 5 of Part 9 of the BC Act and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Plan of Arrangement, (A) SEAC Merger Surviving Company and New BC Sub will amalgamate to form MergerCo Amalco, in accordance with the terms of, and with the attributes and effects set out in, the Plan of Arrangement, (B) New SEAC and MergerCo Amalco will amalgamate to form SEAC Amalco, in accordance with the terms of, and with the attributes and effects set out in, the Plan of Arrangement and (C) StudioCo and SEAC Amalco will amalgamate to form Pubco, in accordance with the terms of, and with the attributes and effects set out in, the Plan of Arrangement. The Arrangement is subject to the approval by the Supreme Court of British Columbia under the BC Act.

Lions Gate Parent’s securities are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbols “LGF.A” and “LGF.B”.

Promissory Note

On May 7, 2024, the Company issued a promissory note to the Sponsor with a principal amount of up to $2.0 million to cover advancements made by the Sponsor to finance certain transaction expenses on behalf of the Company (the “Note”). The Note bears no interest and is repayable in full upon the earlier of (a) the date of the consummation of the Company’s Business Combination, and (b) the date of the Company’s liquidation. If the Company does not consummate a Business Combination, the Note will be repaid only from funds held outside of the Trust Account (to the extent there are any) or will be forfeited, eliminated or otherwise forgiven.

Results Of Operations

SEAC has neither engaged in any operations nor generated any revenues to date. SEAC’s only activities since inception have been organizational activities, those necessary to prepare for the SEAC IPO and identifying and evaluating a target company for an Initial Business Combination and activities in connection with the Business Combination. SEAC will not generate any operating revenues until after completion of an Initial Business Combination, at the earliest. SEAC has generated non-operating income in the form of interest income from the proceeds derived from the SEAC IPO.

SEAC is incurring expenses as a result of being a public company (for legal, financial reporting, accounting and auditing compliance), as well as for due diligence and other expenses in connection with completing an Initial Business Combination, including the Business Combination.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024, SEAC had a net income of $5,162,251, a loss from operations of $3,404,845, comprised of general and administrative expenses of $3,404,845, and non-operating income of $8,567,096, comprised of a gain from change in fair value of warrant liability of $234,666, interest earned in the Trust Account of $9,478,547, and a loss from change in fair value of PIPE with reduction right liability of $1,146,117. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, SEAC had a net income of $8,008,646, a loss from operations of $540,513, comprised of general and administrative expenses, and non-operating income of $8,549,159, comprised of a gain from change in fair value of warrant liability of $469,333 and interest earned in the Trust Account of $8,079,826.

Through March 31, 2024, SEAC’s efforts have been limited to organizational activities, activities relating to the SEAC IPO, activities relating to identifying and evaluating prospective acquisition candidates and activities in

64

connection with the Business Combination and those relating to general corporate matters. SEAC has not generated any revenue, other than interest income earned on the proceeds held in the Trust Account. As of March 31, 2024, $804,228,213 was held in the Trust Account (including up to $8,925,000 of deferred underwriting discounts and commissions). SEAC had cash outside of the Trust Account of $473,163 and $6,458,295 in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 31, 2024, SEAC had an unrestricted cash balance of $437,163 as well as cash and investments held in the Trust Account of $804,228,813. SEAC’s liquidity needs through March 31, 2024 were satisfied through receipt of a $25,000 capital contribution from the SEAC Sponsor in exchange for the issuance of the SEAC Founder Shares, a $300,000 loan from the SEAC Sponsor (which was paid in full on January 11, 2022), the proceeds from the consummation of the private placement of private placement warrants not held in the Trust Account and the withdrawal of certain interest earned on the Trust Account to fund SEAC’s working capital requirements in accordance with the terms of the Trust Agreement.

Further, the SEAC Sponsor or an affiliate of the SEAC Sponsor or certain of SEAC’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan SEAC funds as may be required. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-Initial Business Combination entity at a price of $1.50 per warrant at the option of the lender. Such warrants would be identical to the private placement warrants. The terms of such loans have not been determined and no written agreements exist with respect to such loans. Based on the foregoing, SEAC management believes that SEAC will have sufficient working capital and borrowing capacity to meet its needs through the earlier of the consummation of an Initial Business Combination or one year from the issuance of the financial statements.

In accordance with the terms of the SEAC Articles, SEAC has until June 15, 2024, to consummate an Initial Business Combination (the “Completion Window”). Although SEAC plans to complete an Initial Business Combination, including the Business Combination, before the Completion Window, there can be no assurance that SEAC will be able to consummate an Initial Business Combination by the Completion Window. In connection with SEAC’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” SEAC management has determined that if SEAC is unable to complete an Initial Business Combination and raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs and since the mandatory liquidation deadline is less than 12 months away, there is substantial doubt that SEAC will operate as a going concern.

No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should SEAC be required to liquidate after the Completion Window. SEAC management plans to consummate an Initial Business Combination prior to Completion Window, however there can be no assurance that one will be completed.

SEAC expects its primary liquidity requirements during that period prior to the Initial Business Combination to include approximately $416,000 for legal, accounting, due diligence, travel and other expenses associated with structuring, negotiating and documenting successful Initial Business Combinations, $360,000 for administrative and support services, and approximately $224,000 for Nasdaq and other regulatory fees and approximately $850,000 for director and officer liability insurance premiums. SEAC will also reimburse Global Eagle Acquisition LLC (“GEA”), an affiliate of the SEAC Sponsor, for office space and administrative services provided to members of the SEAC management team in an amount not to exceed $15,000 per month in the event such space and/or services are utilized and SEAC do not pay a third party directly for such services.

These amounts are estimates and may differ materially from SEAC’s actual expenses. In addition, SEAC could use a portion of the funds not being placed in the Trust Account to pay commitment fees for financing, fees to consultants to assist SEAC with its search for a target business or as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop”

65

provision (a provision designed to keep target businesses from “shopping” around for transactions with other companies or investors on terms more favorable to such target businesses) with respect to a particular proposed Initial Business Combination, although SEAC do not have any current obligation or intention to do so. If SEAC enter into an agreement for an alternative Initial Business Combination where SEAC pays for the right to receive exclusivity from a target business, the amount that would be used as a down payment or to fund a “no-shop” provision would be determined based on the terms of the specific Initial Business Combination and the amount of SEAC’s available funds at the time. SEAC’s forfeiture of such funds (whether as a result of SEAC’s breach or otherwise) could result in SEAC not having sufficient funds to continue searching for, or conducting due diligence with respect to, prospective target businesses.

Moreover, SEAC may need to obtain additional financing to complete an Initial Business Combination, either because the transaction requires more cash than is available from the proceeds held in the Trust Account or because SEAC becomes obligated to redeem a significant number of SEAC Public Shares upon completion of the Initial Business Combination, in which case SEAC may issue additional securities or incur debt in connection with such Initial Business Combination. In addition, SEAC intends to target businesses with enterprise values that are greater than SEAC could acquire with the net proceeds of the SEAC IPO and the sale of the private placement units, and, as a result, if the cash portion of the purchase price exceeds the amount available from the Trust Account, net of amounts needed to satisfy any redemptions by public shareholders, SEAC may be required to seek additional financing to complete such proposed Initial Business Combination. SEAC may also obtain financing prior to the closing of an Initial Business Combination to fund SEAC’s working capital needs and transaction costs in connection with SEAC’s search for and completion of an Initial Business Combination. There is no limitation on SEAC’s ability to raise funds through the issuance of equity or equity-linked securities or through loans, advances or other indebtedness in connection with an Initial Business Combination, including pursuant to forward purchase agreements or backstop agreements SEAC may enter into following consummation of the SEAC IPO. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, SEAC would only complete such financing simultaneously with the completion of an Initial Business Combination. If SEAC are unable to complete an Initial Business Combination because it does not have sufficient funds available to do it, SEAC will be forced to cease operations and liquidate the Trust Account. In addition, following an Initial Business Combination, if cash on hand is insufficient, SEAC may need to obtain additional financing in order to meet its obligations.

Going Concern

SEAC is a Special Purpose Acquisition Corporation with a Completion Window of June 15, 2024, because a definitive agreement has been executed, in which case the Completion Window was April 10, 2024, and because on April 9, 2024, SEAC held the Extension Meeting (as defined below) in which the SEAC Shareholders approved, by special resolution, a proposal to amend the SEAC Articles to extend the date by which SEAC must consummate an Initial Business Combination from April 10, 2024 to June 15, 2024. Although SEAC plans to complete the transaction before the Completion Window, there can be no assurance that SEAC will be able to consummate an Initial Business Combination by June 15, 2024. In connection with SEAC’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with FASB’s ASU 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” SEAC management has determined that if SEAC is unable to complete an Initial Business Combination and raise additional funds to alleviate liquidity needs and since the mandatory liquidation deadline is less than 12 months away, there is substantial doubt that SEAC will operate as a going concern.

No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should SEAC be required to liquidate after June 15, 2024. SEAC management plans to consummate an Initial Business Combination prior to June 15, 2024, however there can be no assurance that one will be completed.

66

Commitments and Contractual Obligations

SEAC does not have any long-term debt, capital lease obligations, operating lease obligations or long-term liabilities.

On January 5, 2022, SEAC entered into an Administrative Services and Indemnification Agreement with the SEAC Sponsor and GEA (the “Administrative Services and Indemnification Agreement”). SEAC agreed to pay GEA, an affiliate of the SEAC Sponsor, $15,000 per month for office space, utilities, secretarial and administrative support services and to provide indemnification to the SEAC Sponsor from any claims arising out of or relating to the SEAC IPO or SEAC’s operations or conduct of SEAC’s business (including its Initial Business Combination) or any claim against the SEAC Sponsor alleging any expressed or implied management or endorsement by the SEAC Sponsor of any of SEAC’s activities or any express or implied association between the SEAC Sponsor and SEAC or any of its affiliates. Upon completion of an Initial Business Combination or SEAC’s liquidation, SEAC will cease paying these monthly fees. In the three months ended 2024 and 2023, SEAC incurred $15,000 and $45,000, respectively, in administrative services expenses under the arrangement. As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, $15,000 and $45,000, respectively, is included in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Underwriting Agreement

On January 5, 2022, SEAC entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”). The underwriters were paid a cash underwriting discount of two percent (2.0%) of the gross proceeds of the SEAC IPO, or $15,000,000. Additionally, the underwriters were entitled to a deferred underwriting commission of 3.5% or $26,250,000 of the gross proceeds of the SEAC IPO held in the Trust Account upon the completion of SEAC’s Initial Business Combination subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement.

The deferred underwriting commissions will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that SEAC completes an Initial Business Combination, subject to the terms of the Underwriting Agreement.

In consideration of Citigroup Global Markets Inc.’s (“Citi”) engagement as SEAC’s financial advisor and placement agent in the PIPE financing raised in connection with the Business Combination, and the fees it is expected to receive in connection with such roles, on January 3, 2024, Citi agreed to make adjustments to its entitlement to a portion of the $26,250,000 deferred underwriting fee payable to it pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement. Such adjustments modified Citi’s entitlement to its portion of the deferred underwriting fee to be equal to a specific percentage of the amount remaining in the Trust Account, after giving effect to the redemption rights exercised by SEAC’s public shareholders and certain other adjustments.

In addition, on January 3, 2024, SEAC received a letter from Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”) whereby Goldman Sachs waived its entitlement to its portion of the $26,250,000 deferred underwriting fee payable pursuant to the Underwriting Agreement. The Company did not seek out the reasons why Goldman Sachs waived its deferred underwriting fee, despite Goldman Sachs having already completed its services under the Underwriting Agreement. Goldman Sachs received no additional consideration for the waiver of its entitlement to the deferred underwriting fee. Upon receipt of the waiver, offering costs of $17,325,000 were adjusted to temporary equity on the accompanying consolidated statements of changes in shareholders’ equity (deficit).

Business Combination Agreement and Related Agreements

Business Combination Agreement

On December 22, 2023, SEAC, New SEAC, Lions Gate Parent Studio HoldCo, StudioCo, MergerCo and New BC Sub, entered into the Business Combination Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things and subject to

67

the terms and conditions contained in the Business Combination Agreement and the Plan of Arrangement, (i) SEAC will merge with and into MergerCo with SEAC Merger Surviving Company as the resulting entity, (ii) SEAC Merger Surviving Company will distribute all of its assets lawfully available for distribution to New SEAC by way of a cash dividend, (iii) SEAC Merger Surviving Company will transfer by way of continuation from the Cayman Islands to British Columbia in accordance with the Companies Act and the BC Act and convert to a British Columbia unlimited liability company in accordance with the applicable provisions of the BC Act, (iv) New SEAC will transfer by way of continuation from the Cayman Islands to British Columbia in accordance with the Companies Act and the BC Act and continue as a British Columbia company in accordance with the applicable provisions of the BC Act, and (v) in pursuant to the Arrangement and on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Plan of Arrangement, (A) SEAC Merger Surviving Company and New BC Sub will amalgamate to form MergerCo Amalco, in accordance with the terms of, and with the attributes and effects set out in, the Plan of Arrangement, (B) New SEAC and MergerCo Amalco will amalgamate to form SEAC Amalco, in accordance with the terms of, and with the attributes and effects set out in, the Plan of Arrangement and (C) StudioCo and SEAC Amalco will amalgamate to form Pubco, in accordance with the terms of, and with the attributes and effects set out in, the Plan of Arrangement. The Arrangement is subject to the approval by the Supreme Court of British Columbia under the BC Act.

On April 11, 2024, the Business Combination Agreement was amended to, among other things: (i) upsize the PIPE from $175,000,000 to $225,000,000; (ii) upsize the amount of aggregate transaction proceeds to be no greater than $409,500,000 and no less than $350,000,000, from the prior requirement of $350,000,000 in aggregate transaction proceeds; and (iii) based on the net cash in the Trust Account following the Extension Meeting, remove the provisions requiring cash to potentially be paid to non-redeeming holders of Public Shares as part of the merger consideration for their SEAC Class A Ordinary Shares, which requirement had been intended to limit dilution of Lions Gate Parent’s ownership in the combined company, and instead provide that the holders of Public Shares who do not redeem their SEAC Class A Ordinary Shares at the extraordinary general meeting of SEAC’s shareholders to be held to approve the Business Combination will receive only common shares of Pubco (“Pubco Common Shares”) in exchange for their SEAC Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis.

PIPE Subscription Agreements

Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, SEAC, New SEAC and Lions Gate Parent entered into subscription agreements (the “Initial Subscription Agreements”) with certain institutional and accredited investors (the “PIPE Investors”) pursuant to which the PIPE Investors have agreed, subject to the terms and conditions set forth therein, to subscribe for and purchase from Pubco, immediately following the Amalgamations, an aggregate of approximately 18,172,378 Pubco Common Shares (the “PIPE Shares”), at a purchase price of $9.63 per share, for an aggregate cash amount of $175,000,000.

Pursuant to the Initial Subscription Agreements, the PIPE Investors therein have the right to elect to offset their total commitments under their respective Initial Subscription Agreement, on a one-for-one basis, up to the total amount of PIPE Shares subscribed thereunder, to the extent such PIPE Investor (i) purchases SEAC Class A Ordinary Shares in open market transactions at a price of less than the Closing redemption price per-share prior to the record date established for voting at the extraordinary general meeting of SEAC’s shareholders (the “SEAC Shareholders’ Meeting”) (the “Open-Market Purchase Shares”), but only if the PIPE Investor agrees, with respect to such Open-Market Purchase Shares, to (A) not sell or transfer any such Open-Market Purchase Shares prior to the Closing (B) not vote any such Open-Market Purchase Shares in favor of approving the Business Combination and instead submits a proxy abstaining from voting thereon and (C) to the extent such investor has the right to have all or some of its Open-Market Purchase Shares redeemed for cash in connection with the Closing, not exercise any such redemption rights; and (ii) beneficially owned any SEAC Class A Ordinary Shares as of the date of its Initial Subscription Agreement (the “Currently Owned Shares”), but only if the PIPE Investor agrees, with respect to such Currently Owned Shares, to (A) not sell or transfer any such Currently Owned Shares prior to the Closing, (B) vote all of its Currently Owned Shares in favor of approving

68

the Business Combination at the SEAC Shareholders’ Meeting, and (C) to the extent such investor has the right to have all or some of its Currently Owned Shares redeemed for cash in connection with the Closing, not exercise any such redemption rights.

If any such PIPE Investors exercise their reduction rights and meet the foregoing conditions, then for every SEAC Class A Ordinary Share for which such PIPE Investor exercises its reduction right, such PIPE Investor will be entitled to purchase from SEAC 0.1111 newly issued SEAC Class A Ordinary Shares, at a purchase price of $0.0001 per share, which shares will be issued by SEAC prior to the SEAC Merger (such shares, the “Newly Issued Reduction Right Shares”).

On April 11, 2024, SEAC, New SEAC and Lions Gate Parent entered into the Additional Subscription Agreement, pursuant to which an additional PIPE Investor agreed to purchase from Pubco, immediately following the Amalgamations, an aggregate of approximately 4,918,839 Pubco Common Shares, at a purchase price of $10.165 per share, for an aggregate cash amount of $50,000,000. The Additional Subscription Agreement is in substantially the same form as the Initial Subscription Agreements, expect that it does not provide the reduction right to the investor therein.

Non-Redemption Agreements

On April 24, 2024, SEAC and Pubco entered into the Non-Redemption Agreements with certain investors, pursuant to which such investors agreed, among other things, to: (i) certify that they had purchased an aggregate of approximately $20 million of Public Shares in the open-market at a price no greater than the Redemption Price (as defined in the SEAC Articles), no later than one business day prior to the mailing date of the Registration Statement filed by Pubco with the SEC relating to the Business Combination (such shares, the “Purchase Commitment Shares”); (ii) not redeem the Purchase Commitment Shares; (iii) not vote the Purchase Commitment Shares in favor of any of the proposals presented at the SEAC Shareholders’ Meeting; and (iv) not transfer any Purchase Commitment Shares or NRA Additional Shares held by them until the earlier of (x) the consummation of the Business Combination, (y) the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms and (z) the termination of the Non-Redemption Agreements in accordance with their terms.

Pursuant to the Non-Redemption Agreements, if the investors meet the foregoing conditions, then, for every Purchase Commitment Share purchased by such investors thereunder, such investors will be entitled to purchase from SEAC 0.0526 newly issued SEAC Class A Ordinary Shares, at a purchase price of $0.0001 per whole share, which shares will be issued by SEAC prior to the SEAC Merger (the “NRA Additional Shares”).

Critical Accounting Estimates

The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires SEAC management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and income and expenses during the period reported. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates. SEAC has identified the following critical accounting policies:

Warrant liability

The Company accounts for the private placement warrants as liabilities at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets. The private placement warrants are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of other income (expense), net on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the exercise or expiration of the private placement warrants. At that time, the portion of the warrant liability related

69

to the private placement warrants will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital. This accounting estimate is subject to uncertainty given there is significant judgment in certain inputs, such as implied volatility and the probability of completing the Business Combination or a different Initial Business Combination. Any changes in the inputs could have a significant impact on the results of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, SEAC recognized a gain resulting from a decrease in the fair value of the private placement warrants of $234,666 and $469,333, respectively. These gains are presented as a change in fair value of warrant liability in other income in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations.

PIPE with reduction right liability

The Company accounts for the Initial Subscription Agreements and the Additional Subscription Agreement (together, the “Subscription Agreements”) as a liability at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets (the “PIPE with reduction right liability”). The Subscription Agreements are subject to remeasurement at each balance sheet date and any change in fair value is recognized as a component of other income (expense), net on the consolidated statements of operations. The Company will continue to adjust the liability for changes in fair value until the earlier of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Subscription Agreements or expiration of the Subscription Agreements. At that time, the PIPE with reduction right liability will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital. This accounting estimate is subject to uncertainty given there is significant judgment in certain inputs, such as the probability of completing the Business Combination. Any changes in the inputs could have a significant impact on the results of operations. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, SEAC recorded a loss resulting from an increase in the fair value of the PIPE with reduction right liability of $1,146,117. This loss is presented as a change in fair value of PIPE with reduction right liability in other income in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.

Recent Developments

Extension Meeting

On April 9, 2024, SEAC held an extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders (the “Extension Meeting”), at which SEAC received approval to amend the SEAC Articles to, among other things, extend the date by which SEAC must consummate an Initial Business Combination from April 10, 2024 to June 15, 2024. In connection with the Extension Meeting, holders of 57,824,777 Public Shares properly exercised their right to redeem such shares for cash at a redemption price of approximately $10.74 per share, representing an aggregate of approximately $620.8 million. After the satisfaction of such redemptions, the balance in the Trust Account was approximately $184.4 million.

Amendment No. 1 to The Business Combination Agreement

On April 11, 2024, the Business Combination Agreement was amended to, among other things: (i) upsize the private investments in public equities (“PIPE”) from $175,000,000 to $225,000,000; (ii) upsize the amount of aggregate transaction proceeds to be no greater than $409,500,000 and no less than $350,000,000, from the prior requirement of $350,000,000 in aggregate transaction proceeds; and (iii) based on the net cash in the Trust Account following the Extension Meeting, remove the provisions requiring cash to potentially be paid to non-redeeming holders of Public Shares as part of the merger consideration for their SEAC Class A Ordinary Shares, which requirement had been intended to limit dilution of Lions Gate Parent’s ownership in the combined company, and instead provide that the holders of Public Shares who do not redeem their SEAC Class A Ordinary Shares at the extraordinary general meeting of SEAC’s shareholders to be held to approve the Business Combination will receive only common shares of Pubco (“Pubco Common Shares”) in exchange for their SEAC Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-for-one basis.

Additional PIPE Subscription Agreement

On April 11, 2024, SEAC, Pubco and Lions Gate Parent entered into an additional Subscription Agreement (the “Additional Subscription Agreement”), pursuant to which an additional PIPE Investor agreed to purchase from

70

Pubco an aggregate of approximately 4,918,839 Pubco Common Shares at a purchase price of $10.165 per share, for an aggregate cash amount of $50,000,000. The Additional Subscription Agreement is in substantially the same form as the Initial Subscription Agreement, expect that it does not provide the reduction right to the investor therein.

Non-Redemption Agreements

On April 24, 2024, SEAC and Pubco entered into share purchase and non-redemption agreements (the “Non-Redemption Agreements”) with certain investors, pursuant to which such investors agreed, among other things, to: (i) certify that they had purchased an aggregate of approximately $20 million of Public Shares in the open-market at a price no greater than the Redemption Price (as defined in the SEAC Articles), no later than one business day prior to the mailing date of the registration statement on Form S-4 (the “Registration Statement”) filed by Pubco with the SEC relating to the Business Combination (such shares, the “Purchase Commitment Shares”); (ii) not redeem the Purchase Commitment Shares; (iii) not vote the Purchase Commitment Shares in favor of any of the proposals presented at the SEAC Shareholders’ Meeting (as defined herein); and (iv) not transfer any Purchase Commitment Shares or NRA Additional Shares (as defined below) held by them until the earlier of (x) the consummation of the Business Combination, (y) the termination of the Business Combination Agreement in accordance with its terms and (z) the termination of the Non-Redemption Agreements in accordance with their terms.

Pursuant to the Non-Redemption Agreements, if the investors meet the foregoing conditions, then, for every Purchase Commitment Share purchased by such investors thereunder, such investors will be entitled to purchase from SEAC 0.0526 newly issued SEAC Class A Ordinary Shares, at a purchase price of $0.0001 per whole share, which shares will be issued by SEAC prior to the SEAC Merger (the “NRA Additional Shares”).

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS OF THE STUDIO BUSINESS OF LIONS GATE ENTERTAINMENT CORP.

The following management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations reflects the combined financial statements of the Studio Business, which were prepared on a “carve-out” basis and derived from Lions Gate Entertainment Corp’s consolidated financial statements and accounting records as of December 31, 2023 and does not reflect subsequent events. This discussion should be read together with the combined financial statements and related notes of the Studio Business that are included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements based upon current expectations that involve risks and uncertainties. The Studio Business’s actual results may differ materially from those anticipated in these forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those set forth under the section entitled “Risk Factors” or in other parts of this prospectus. Please also see the section entitled “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements.”

Overview

The Studio Business (the “Company,” “Studio,” “we,” “us,” or “our”) is substantially reflective of Lions Gate Entertainment Corp’s (“Lionsgate” or “Lions Gate Parent”) Motion Picture and Television Production segments together with a substantial portion of Lionsgate’s corporate general and administrative costs. Studio’s world-class motion picture and television studio operations bring a unique and varied portfolio of entertainment to consumers around the world.

The Motion Picture segment consists of the development and production of feature films, acquisition of North American and worldwide distribution rights, North American theatrical, home entertainment and television distribution of feature films produced and acquired, and worldwide licensing of distribution rights to feature films produced and acquired. The Television Production segment consists of the development, production and worldwide distribution of television productions including television series, television movies and mini-series, and non-fiction programming. The Motion Picture segment includes the licensing of motion pictures and the Television Production segment includes the licensing of Starz original productions to the STARZ-branded premium global subscription platforms (the “Starz Business”). The Television Production segment also includes the ancillary market distribution of Starz original productions and licensed product. Additionally, the Television Production segment includes the results of operations of 3 Arts Entertainment, a talent management company.

The Studio Business manages and reports its operating results through two reportable business segments, Motion Picture and Television Production, as further discussed below.

Background and Proposed Business Combination

As described in Note 2 to the unaudited interim condensed combined financial statements of the Studio Business of Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. included elsewhere in this prospectus, on December 22, 2023, Lionsgate, SEAC, New SEAC, SEAC MergerCo, 1455941 B.C. Unlimited, LG Sirius Holdings and StudioCo entered into a business combination agreement pursuant to which the Studio Business will be combined with Screaming Eagle through a series of transactions, including an amalgamation of StudioCo and New SEAC under a Canadian plan of arrangement (the “Business Combination”). Upon consummation of the Business Combination, between approximately 85.7% and 87.3% of the total shares of the Studio Business are expected to continue to be held indirectly by Lionsgate, while SEAC Public Shareholders and founders and common equity financing investors are expected to own an aggregate of between approximately 14.3% and 12.7% of the combined company. In addition to establishing the Studio Business as a standalone publicly-traded entity, the transaction is expected to deliver between approximately $350 million and $409,500,000 of gross proceeds to Lionsgate, including $225 million in private investments in public equities (“PIPE”) financing.

The Business Combination is expected to be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). Under this method of accounting,

72

SEAC will be treated as the acquired company and the Studio Business will be treated as the acquirer for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, for accounting purposes, the financial statements of New SEAC will represent a continuation of the financial statements of the Studio Business, with the Business Combination treated as the equivalent of the Studio Business issuing stock for the historical net assets of SEAC, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of SEAC will be stated at fair value, which approximates historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination will be those of the Studio Business.

As a consequence of the Business Combination, the Studio Business will become the successor to an SEC- registered and Nasdaq-listed company. In connection with the Business Combination, the Studio Business and Lionsgate will enter into a shared-services arrangement and an intercompany debt arrangement, among other agreements. The shared-services arrangement is expected to reflect substantially all of Lionsgate’s corporate general and administrative functions and costs remaining with the Studio Business, as further discussed below. The intercompany debt arrangement will provide that the outstanding obligations and debt service requirements (principal and interest payments) of the Studio Business will remain substantially the same as under Lionsgate’s Senior Credit Facilities, as described and defined below. In addition, the terms of Lionsgate’s interest rate swap arrangements will be transferred to the Studio Business. However, the Studio Business’s availability under the Lionsgate revolving credit facility will be $1.1 billion, reduced from Lionsgate’s total availability of $1.25 billion, such that a portion of the borrowing capacity is allocated to Lionsgate’s Starz entities. The terms of such intercompany debt arrangement are subject to change and may not ultimately be comparable with the Senior Credit Facilities.

Basis of Presentation

This prospectus includes historical audited combined financial statements of the Studio Business, which were prepared on a “carve-out” basis and derived from Lionsgate’s consolidated financial statements and accounting records. These combined financial statements reflect the Studio Business’s combined historical financial position, results of operations and cash flows as they were historically managed in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The combined financial statements may not be indicative of the Studio Business’s future performance and do not necessarily reflect what the financial position, results of operations and cash flows would have been had the Studio Business operated as an independent, publicly traded company during the periods presented.

The Studio Business has historically operated as part of Lionsgate and not as a standalone company. The Studio Business combined financial statements, representing the historical assets, liabilities, operations and cash flows of the combination of the operations making up the worldwide Studio Business, have been derived from the separate historical accounting records maintained by Lionsgate, and are presented on a carve-out basis. These combined financial statements reflect the combined historical results of operations, financial position, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows of the Studio Business for the periods presented as historically managed within Lionsgate through the use of a management approach in identifying the Studio Business’s operations. In using the management approach, considerations over how the business operates were utilized to identify historical operations that should be presented within the carve-out financial statements. This approach was taken due to the historical organizational structure of certain legal entities comprising the Studio Business.

All revenues and costs as well as assets and liabilities directly associated with the business activity of the Studio Business are included in the combined financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus. Revenues and costs associated with the Studio Business are specifically identifiable in the accounting records maintained by Lionsgate and primarily represent the revenue and costs used for the determination of segment profit of the Motion Picture and Television Production segments of Lionsgate. In addition, the Studio Business costs include an allocation of corporate general and administrative expense (inclusive of share-based compensation) which has been allocated to the Studio Business as further discussed below. Other costs excluded from the Motion Picture and Television Production segment profit but relating to the Studio Business are generally specifically identifiable as costs of the Studio Business in the accounting records of Lionsgate and are included in the accompanying combined financial statements.

73

Lionsgate utilizes a centralized approach to cash management. Cash generated by the Studio Business is managed by Lionsgate’s centralized treasury function and cash is routinely transferred to the Studio Business or the Starz Business to fund operating activities when needed. Cash and cash equivalents of the Studio Business are reflected in the combined balance sheets. Payables to and receivables from Lionsgate, primarily related to the Starz Business, are often settled through movement to the intercompany accounts between Lionsgate, the Starz Business and the Studio Business. Other than certain specific balances related to unsettled payables or receivables, the intercompany balances between the Studio Business and Lionsgate have been accounted for as parent net investment. See Note 20 to the audited combined financial statements and Note 18 to the unaudited interim condensed combined financial statements of the Studio Business of Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. included elsewhere in this prospectus.

The Studio Business is the primary borrower of certain corporate indebtedness (the Revolving Credit Facility, Term Loan A and Term Loan B, together referred to as the “Senior Credit Facilities”) of Lionsgate. The Senior Credit Facilities are generally used as a method of financing Lionsgate’s operations in totality and are not specifically identifiable to the Studio Business or the Starz Business. It is not practical to determine what the capital structure would have been historically for the Studio Business as a standalone company, however, Lionsgate’s Senior Credit Facilities and related interest expense are reflected in the Studio Business’s combined financial statements. A portion of Lionsgate’s corporate debt, Lionsgate’s 5.500% senior notes due April 15, 2029 and related interest expense are not reflected in the Studio Business’s combined financial statements, as such Senior Notes were issued by a Starz Business entity. The Studio Business remains a guarantor under the Senior Notes indenture agreement. As described above, it is expected that the intercompany debt arrangement will provide that the outstanding obligations and debt service requirements (principal and interest payments) of the Studio Business will remain substantially the same as under Lionsgate’s Senior Credit Facilities. In addition, the terms of Lionsgate’s interest rate swap arrangements will be transferred to the Studio Business. However, the Studio Business’s availability under the Lionsgate revolving credit facility will be $1.1 billion, reduced from Lionsgate’s total availability of $1.25 billion, such that a portion of the borrowing capacity is allocated to Lionsgate’s Starz entities. The terms of such intercompany debt arrangement are subject to change and may not ultimately be comparable with the Senior Credit Facilities. See Note 7 to the audited combined financial statements and Note 6 to the unaudited interim condensed combined financial statements of the Studio Business of Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. included elsewhere in this prospectus and the “Liquidity and Capital Resources” section further below.

Additional indebtedness directly related to the Studio Business including production loans, borrowings under the Production Tax Credit Facility, IP Credit Facility, and Backlog Facility (each as defined below) and other obligations are reflected in the Studio Business combined financial statements. See Note 8 to the audited combined financial statements and Note 7 to the unaudited interim condensed combined financial statements of the Studio Business of Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Lionsgate’s corporate general and administrative functions and costs, which will primarily be retained within the Studio Business through shared services agreements, as described below, have historically provided oversight over both the Starz Business and the Studio Business. These functions and costs include, but are not limited to, salaries and wages for certain executives and other corporate officers related to executive oversight, investor relations costs, costs for the maintenance of corporate facilities, and other common administrative support functions, including corporate accounting, finance and financial reporting, audit and tax costs, corporate and other legal support functions, and certain information technology and human resources expense. Accordingly, the audited combined financial statements and unaudited interim condensed combined financial statements of the Studio Business, included elsewhere in this prospectus, include allocations of certain general and administrative expenses (inclusive of share-based compensation) from Lionsgate related to these corporate and shared service functions historically provided by Lionsgate. These expenses have been allocated to the Studio Business on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on a pro rata basis of consolidated Lionsgate revenue, payroll expense or other measures considered to be a reasonable reflection of the historical utilization levels of these services. Accordingly, the Studio Business financial statements may not

74

necessarily be indicative of the conditions that would have existed or the results of operations if the Studio Business had been operated as an unaffiliated entity, and may not be indicative of the expenses that the Studio Business will incur in the future. Further, following the Business Combination, a shared-services arrangement will reflect substantially all of Lionsgate’s corporate general and administrative function and costs remaining with the Studio Business. See “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions-StudioCo Relationships and Related Party Transactions-Shared Services Agreement/Overhead Sharing Agreement.”

The Studio Business also pays certain costs on behalf of the Starz Business such as certain rent expense, employee benefits, insurance and other administrative operating costs which are reflected as expenses of the Starz Business. The Starz Business also pays certain costs on behalf of the Studio Business such as legal expenses, software development costs and severance which are reflected as expenses of the Studio Business. The settlement of reimbursable expenses between the Studio Business and the Starz Business have been accounted for as parent net investment. See Note 20 to the audited combined financial statements and Note 18 to the unaudited interim condensed combined financial statements of the Studio Business of Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Management believes the assumptions underlying the combined financial statements, including the assumptions regarding the allocation of general and administrative expenses from Lionsgate to the Studio Business, are reasonable. However, as mentioned above, the allocations may not include all of the actual expenses that would have been incurred by the Studio Business and may not reflect its combined results of operations, financial position and cash flows had it been a standalone company during the periods presented. It is not practicable to estimate actual costs that would have been incurred had the Studio Business been a standalone company and operated as an unaffiliated entity during the periods presented. Actual costs that might have been incurred had the Studio Business been a standalone company would depend on a number of factors, including the organizational structure, what corporate functions the Studio Business might have performed directly or outsourced, and strategic decisions the Studio Business might have made in areas such as executive management, legal and other professional services, and certain corporate overhead functions. See “Components of Results of Operations – Expenses” below, Note 20 to our audited combined financial statements and Note 18 to our unaudited interim condensed combined financial statements for further detail of the allocations included in the Studio Business combined financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Components of Results of Operations

Revenues

Our revenues are derived from the Motion Picture and Television Production segments, as described below. As mentioned above, we refer to our Motion Picture and Television Production segments collectively as our Studio Business. Our revenues are derived from the U.S., Canada, the United Kingdom and other foreign countries. None of the non-U.S. countries individually comprised greater than 10% of total revenues for the years ended March 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021 or for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Motion Picture: Our Motion Picture segment includes revenues derived from the following:

• Theatrical. Theatrical revenues are derived from the domestic theatrical release of motion pictures licensed to theatrical exhibitors on a picture-by-picture basis (distributed by us directly in the U.S. and through a sub-distributor in Canada). The revenues from Canada are reported net of distribution fees and release expenses of the Canadian sub-distributor. The financial terms that we negotiate with our theatrical exhibitors in the U.S. generally provide that we receive a percentage of the box office results.

• Home Entertainment. Home entertainment revenues are derived from the sale or rental of our film productions and acquired or licensed films and certain television programs (including theatrical and direct-to-video releases) on packaged media and through digital media platforms (including pay-per-view and video-on-demand platforms, electronic sell through, and digital rental). In addition,

75

we have revenue sharing arrangements with certain digital media platforms which generally provide that, in exchange for a nominal or no upfront sales price, we share in the rental or sales revenues generated by the platform on a title-by-title basis.

• Television. Television revenues are primarily derived from the licensing of our theatrical productions and acquired films to the linear pay, basic cable and free television markets. In addition, when a license in our traditional pay television window is made to a subscription video-on-demand or other digital platform, the revenues are included here.

• International. International revenues are derived from (1) licensing of our productions, acquired films, our catalog product and libraries of acquired titles to international distributors, on a territory-by-territory basis; and (2) the direct distribution of our productions, acquired films, and our catalog product and libraries of acquired titles in the United Kingdom.

• Other. Other revenues are derived from, among others, the licensing of our film and television and related content (games, music, location-based entertainment royalties, etc.) to other ancillary markets.

Television Production: Our Television Production segment includes revenues derived from the following:

• Television. Television revenues are derived from the licensing to domestic markets (linear pay, basic cable, free television and syndication) of scripted and unscripted series, television movies, mini-series and non-fiction programming. Television revenues include fixed fee arrangements as well as arrangements in which we earn advertising revenue from the exploitation of certain content on television networks. Television revenues also include revenue from licenses to subscription-video-on-demand platforms in which the initial license of a television series is to a subscription video-on-demand platform.

• International. International revenues are derived from the licensing and syndication to international markets of scripted and unscripted series, television movies, mini-series and non-fiction programming.

• Home Entertainment. Home entertainment revenues are derived from the sale or rental of television production movies or series on packaged media and through digital media platforms.

• Other. Other revenues are derived from, among others, the licensing of our television programs to other ancillary markets, the sales and licensing of music from the television broadcasts of our productions, and from commissions and executive producer fees earned related to talent management.

Expenses

Our primary operating expenses include direct operating expenses, distribution and marketing expenses and general and administration expenses.

Direct operating expenses include amortization of film and television production or acquisition costs, participation and residual expenses, provision for doubtful accounts, and foreign exchange gains and losses.

Participation costs represent contingent consideration payable based on the performance of the film or television program to parties associated with the film or television program, including producers, writers, directors or actors. Residuals represent amounts payable to various unions or “guilds” such as the Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists, Directors Guild of America, and Writers Guild of America, based on the performance of the film or television program in certain ancillary markets or based on the individual’s (i.e., actor, director, writer) salary level in the television market.

Distribution and marketing expenses primarily include the costs of theatrical prints and advertising (“P&A”) and premium video-on-demand (“Premium VOD”) expense and of DVD/Blu-ray duplication and marketing. Theatrical P&A includes the costs of the theatrical prints delivered to theatrical exhibitors and the advertising and

76

marketing cost associated with the theatrical release of the picture. Premium VOD expense represents the advertising and marketing cost associated with the Premium VOD release of the picture. DVD/Blu-ray duplication represents the cost of the DVD/Blu-ray product and the manufacturing costs associated with creating the physical products. DVD/Blu-ray marketing costs represent the cost of advertising the product at or near the time of its release or special promotional advertising.

General and administration expenses include salaries and other overhead and include allocations for certain general and administrative expenses from Lionsgate related to certain corporate and shared service functions historically provided by Lionsgate, including, but not limited to, executive oversight, investor relations, accounting, tax, legal, human resources, occupancy, and other shared services. See “Basis of Presentation” above, Note 1 and Note 20 to our audited combined financial statements and Note 1 and Note 18 to our unaudited interim condensed combined financial statements for further details on our methodology for allocating these costs. Allocations of expenses from Lionsgate are not necessarily indicative of future expenses and do not necessarily reflect results that would have been achieved by the Studio Business as an independent, publicly traded company for the periods presented. Lionsgate’s corporate and shared service function expense and the allocation reflected in the Studio Business’s audited combined financial statements and unaudited interim condensed combined financial statements is presented in the table below:

	Nine Months Ended December 31,				Year Ended March 31,
	2023		2022		2023		2022		2021

Total allocation to the Studio Business	$	88.3	$	74.7	$	127.5	$	99.6	$	109.4

Recurring standalone costs may be higher than historical allocations as the corporate general and administrative functions will remain at the Studio Business following the Business Combination, which may have an impact on profitability and operating cash flows. See “Basis of Presentation” above for more information.

Acquisition of eOne

On December 27, 2023, Lionsgate and its subsidiaries, Lions Gate Entertainment Inc., a Delaware corporation (“LGEI”), and Lions Gate International Motion Pictures S.à.r.l., a Luxembourg société à responsabilité limitée (“LGIMP” and, with Lionsgate and LGEI, collectively the “Buyers”), completed the previously announced acquisition of all of the issued and outstanding equity interests of the companies constituting the Entertainment One television and film (“eOne”) business from Hasbro, Inc., a Rhode Island corporation (“Hasbro”), pursuant to that certain Equity Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated August 3, 2023. The aggregate cash purchase price was approximately $375.0 million, subject to certain purchase price adjustments, including for cash, debt, and working capital. Upon closing, the Company paid $331.0 million,

77

net of cash acquired of $54.1 million, which reflects the purchase price of $375.0 million adjusted for estimated cash, debt, transaction costs and working capital. The preliminary purchase price is subject to further adjustments based on the final determination of the purchase price adjustments. The acquisition of eOne, a film and television production and distribution company, builds the Company’s film and television library, strengthens the Company’s scripted and unscripted television business, and continues to expand the Company’s presence in Canada and the U.K.

The acquisition was accounted for under the acquisition method of accounting, with the financial results of eOne included in the Studio Business’s combined results from December 27, 2023. There was no material revenue or net income from eOne for the period from December 27, 2023 through December 31, 2023. The Studio Business incurred approximately $8.8 million of acquisition-related costs that were expensed in restructuring and other during the nine months ended December 31, 2023.

The audited combined financial statements of eOne as of December 25, 2022 and December 26, 2021 and for the fiscal years ended December 25, 2022 and December 26, 2021 and the unaudited condensed combined

financial statements of eOne as of October 1, 2023 and for the nine months ended October 1, 2023 and September 25, 2022 included elsewhere in this prospectus present the results of operations of eOne prior to the Studio Business’s acquisition.

eOne revenues for the nine months ended October 1, 2023 was $419.3 million, as compared to $518.2 million for the nine months ended September 25, 2022. The decrease in revenues was driven by lower scripted and unscripted television deliveries, as well as lower film releases and/ or sales in the 2023 period compared to the 2022 period. These decreases were due primarily to the impact of the several months-long worker strikes by the Writers Guild of America and the American actors’ union, SAG-AFTRA, which disrupted the number and timing of planned program productions.

See Note 2 to the Studio Business’s unaudited interim condensed combined financial statements for further information.

Industry Strikes

On May 1, 2023, the collective bargaining agreement between the Writers Guild of America (“WGA”) and the Alliance of Motion Picture and Television Producers (“AMPTP”) expired, and on May 2, 2023, the WGA commenced an industry-wide strike. Subsequently, on September 25, 2023, WGA members voted in favor ratifying a new three-year contract, commencing September 25, 2023 and ending May 1, 2026.

On July 12, 2023, the collective bargaining agreement between the Screen Actors Guild - American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (“SAG-AFTRA”) and the AMPTP expired, and on July 14, 2023, the SAG-AFTRA commenced an industry-wide strike. Subsequently, on November 9, 2023, the national board of SAG-AFTRA approved an agreement reached on November 8, 2023 between SAG-AFTRA and the AMPTP to end the strike, and SAG-AFTRA union members ratified it shortly thereafter.

We paused certain theatrical and television productions as a result of the strikes. Consequently, the timing of certain production payments were delayed until productions resume and may increase the variability in payments for investment in film and television programs in future periods. In addition, the pausing and restarting of productions resulted in incremental costs, delayed the completion and release of some of our content (investment in films and television programs) and may have been the cause of impairments of our investment in film and television programs due to the cancellation of certain television shows.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our accounting policies are more fully described in Note 1 to our audited combined financial statements. As disclosed in Note 1 to our audited combined financial statements, the preparation of our financial statements in

78

conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the combined financial statements and accompanying notes. The application of the following accounting policies, which are important to our financial position and results of operations, requires significant judgments and estimates on the part of management. As described more fully below, these estimates bear the risk of change due to the inherent uncertainty of the estimate. In some cases, changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Accordingly, actual results could differ materially from our estimates. To the extent that there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, our financial condition or results of operations will be affected. We base our estimates on past experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, and we evaluate these estimates on an ongoing basis. We believe that the following discussion addresses our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require management’s most difficult, subjective and complex judgments.

Accounting for Films and Television Programs

Capitalized costs for films or television programs are predominantly monetized individually.

Amortization. Film cost amortization as well as participations and residuals expense are based on management’s estimates. Costs of acquiring and producing films and television programs and of acquired libraries are amortized and estimated liabilities for participations and residuals costs are accrued using the individual-film-forecast method, based on the ratio of the current period’s revenues to management’s estimated remaining total gross revenues to be earned (“ultimate revenue”). Management’s judgment is required in estimating ultimate revenue and the costs to be incurred throughout the life of each film or television program.

Management estimates ultimate revenues based on historical experience with similar titles or the title genre, the general public appeal of the cast, audience test results when available, actual performance (when available) at the box office or in markets currently being exploited, and other factors such as the quality and acceptance of motion pictures or programs that our competitors release into the marketplace at or near the same time, critical reviews, general economic conditions and other tangible and intangible factors, many of which we do not control and which may change.

For motion pictures, ultimate revenue includes estimates over a period not to exceed ten years following the date of initial release of the motion picture. The most sensitive factor affecting our estimate of ultimate revenues for a film intended for theatrical release is the film’s theatrical performance, as subsequent revenues from the licensing and sale in other markets have historically been highly correlated to its theatrical performance. After a film’s release, our estimates of revenue from succeeding markets are revised based on historical relationships and an analysis of current market trends.

For an episodic television series, the period over which ultimate revenues are estimated cannot exceed ten years following the date of delivery of the first episode, or, if still in production, five years from the date of delivery of the most recent episode, if later. The most sensitive factors affecting our estimate of ultimate revenues for a television series is whether the series will be ordered for a subsequent season and estimates of revenue in secondary markets other than the initial license fee, which depend on a number of factors, including, among others, the ratings or viewership the program achieves on the customers’ platforms. The initial estimate of ultimate revenue may include estimates of revenues outside of the initial license window (i.e., international, home entertainment and other distribution platforms) and are based on historical experience for similar programs (genre, duration, etc.) based on the estimated number of seasons of the series. Ultimates of revenue beyond the initial license fees are generally higher for programs that have been or are expected to be ordered for multiple seasons. We regularly monitor the performance of each season, and evaluate whether impairment indicators are present (i.e., low ratings, cancellations or the season is not reordered), and based upon our review, we revise our estimates as needed and perform an impairment assessment if impairment indicators are present (see below).

79

For titles included in acquired libraries, ultimate revenue includes estimates over a period not to exceed twenty years following the date of acquisition.

Due to the inherent uncertainties involved in making such estimates of ultimate revenues and expenses, these estimates have differed in the past from actual results and are likely to differ to some extent in the future from actual results. In addition, in the normal course of our business, some films and titles are more successful or less successful than anticipated. Management regularly reviews and revises when necessary its ultimate revenue and cost estimates, which may result in a change in the rate of amortization of film costs and participations and residuals and/or a write-down of all or a portion of the unamortized costs of the film or television program to its estimated fair value (see below).

An increase in the estimate of ultimate revenue will generally result in a lower amortization rate and, therefore, less film and television program amortization expense, while a decrease in the estimate of ultimate revenue will generally result in a higher amortization rate and, therefore, higher film and television program amortization expense, and also periodically results in an impairment requiring a write-down of the film cost to the title’s fair value. These write-downs are included in amortization expense within direct operating expenses in our combined statements of operations. See further discussion below under Impairment Assessment.

Impairment Assessment. An individual film or television program is evaluated for impairment when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the fair value of an individual film is less than its unamortized cost. If the result of the impairment test indicates that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value, an impairment charge will then be recorded for the amount of the difference.

Estimate of Fair Value. The fair value is determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis of the cash flows directly attributable to the title. For motion pictures intended for theatrical release, the discounted cash flow analysis used in the impairment evaluation prior to theatrical release is subjective and the key inputs include estimates of future anticipated revenues, estimates of box office performance, which may differ from future actual results. These estimates are based in part on the historical performance of similar films, test audience results when available, information regarding competing film releases, and critic reviews. As disclosed in Note 3 to the audited combined financial statements, the unamortized balance related to completed and not released and in progress theatrical films was $561.5 million at March 31, 2023. For television programs, the discounted cash flow analysis used in the impairment evaluation includes key inputs such as estimates of future anticipated revenue, as discussed above. See further discussion of Valuation Assumptions below.

Valuation Assumptions. The discounted cash flow analysis includes cash flows estimates of ultimate revenue and costs as well as a discount rate (a Level 3 fair value measurement, see Note 10 to our audited combined financial statements and Note 8 to our unaudited interim condensed combined financial statements). The discount rate utilized in the discounted cash flow analysis is based on the weighted average cost of capital of the Company plus a risk premium representing the risk associated with producing a particular film or television program or film group. Estimates of future revenue involve measurement uncertainty and it is therefore possible that reductions in the carrying value of investment in films and television programs may be required as a consequence of changes in management’s future revenue estimates.

Revenue Recognition. Our Motion Picture and Television Production segments generate revenue principally from the licensing of content in domestic theatrical exhibition, home entertainment (e.g., digital media and packaged media), television, and international market places.

Our content licensing arrangements include fixed fee and minimum guarantee arrangements, and sales or usage based royalties. Our fixed fee or minimum guarantee licensing arrangements in the television, digital media and international markets may, in some cases, include multiple titles, multiple license periods (windows) with a substantive period in between the windows, rights to exploitation in different media, or rights to

80

exploitation in multiple territories, which may be considered distinct performance obligations. When these performance obligations are considered distinct, the fixed fee or minimum guarantee in the arrangement is allocated to the title, window, media right or territory as applicable, based on estimates of relative standalone selling prices. The amounts related to each performance obligation (i.e., title, window, media or territory) are recognized when the content has been delivered, and the window for the exploitation right in that territory has begun, which is the point in time at which the customer is able to begin to use and benefit from the content.

Sales or usage based royalties represent amounts due to us based on the “sale” or “usage” of our content by the customer, and revenues are recognized at the later of when the subsequent sale or usage occurs, or the performance obligation to which some or all the sales or usage-based royalty has been allocated has been satisfied (or partially satisfied). Generally, when we license completed content (with standalone functionality, such as a movie, or television show), our performance obligation will be satisfied prior to the sale or usage. When we license intellectual property that does not have stand-alone functionality (e.g., brands, themes, logos, etc.), our performance obligation is generally satisfied in the same period as the sale or usage. The actual amounts due to us under these arrangements are generally not reported to us until after the close of the reporting period. We record revenue under these arrangements for the amounts due and not yet reported to us based on estimates of the sales or usage of these customers and pursuant to the terms of the contracts. Such estimates are based on information from our customers, historical experience with similar titles in that market or territory, the performance of the title in other markets and/or available data in the industry. While we believe these estimates are reasonable estimates of the amounts due under these arrangements, such estimated amounts could differ from the actual amounts to be subsequently reported by the customer, which could be higher or lower than our estimates, and could result in an adjustment to revenues in future periods.

Revenue from the theatrical release of feature films are treated as sales or usage-based royalties and recognized starting at the exhibition date and based on our participation in box office receipts of the theatrical exhibitor.

Digital media revenue sharing arrangements are recognized as sales or usage based royalties.

Revenue from the sale of physical discs (DVDs, Blu-ray or 4K Ultra HD), referred to as “Packaged Media”, in the retail market, net of an allowance for estimated returns and other allowances, is recognized on the later of receipt by the customer or “street date” (when it is available for sale by the customer).

Revenue from commissions are recognized as such services are provided.

Goodwill. At December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023 and 2022, the carrying value of goodwill was $801.4 million, $795.6 million and $795.6 million, respectively. Goodwill is allocated to our reporting units, which are our operating segments or one level below our operating segments (component level). Reporting units are determined by the discrete financial information available for the component and whether that information is regularly reviewed by segment management. Components are aggregated into a single reporting unit if they share similar economic characteristics. Our reporting units for purposes of goodwill impairment testing, along with their respective goodwill balances at December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023 and 2022, were Motion Picture (goodwill of $395 million, $394 million and $394 million, respectively), and our Television (goodwill of $314 million, $309 million and $309 million, respectively) and Talent Management (goodwill of $93 million) businesses, both of which are part of our Television Production segment.

Goodwill is not amortized but is reviewed for impairment each fiscal year or between the annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicates it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. We perform our annual impairment test as of January 1 in each fiscal year. A goodwill impairment loss would be recognized for the amount that the carrying amount of a reporting unit, including goodwill, exceeds its fair value. An entity may perform a qualitative assessment of the likelihood of the

81

existence of a goodwill impairment. The qualitative assessment is an evaluation, based on all identified events and circumstances which impact the fair value of the reporting unit of whether or not it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value is less than the carrying value of the reporting unit. If we believe that as a result of our qualitative assessment it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is greater than its carrying amount, a quantitative impairment test is not required but may be performed at the option of the Company. A quantitative assessment requires determining the fair value of our reporting units. The determination of fair value requires considerable judgment and requires assumptions and estimates of many factors, including revenue and market growth, operating margins and cash flows, market multiples and discount rates.

In performing a quantitative assessment of goodwill, we determine the fair value of our reporting units by using a combination of discounted cash flow (“DCF”) analyses and market-based valuation methodologies. The models rely on significant judgments and assumptions surrounding general market and economic conditions, short-term and long-term growth rates, discount rates, income tax rates, and detailed management forecasts of future cash flow and operating margin projections, and other assumptions, all of which are based on our internal forecasts of future performance as well as historical trends. The market-based valuation method utilizes EBITDA multiples from guideline public companies operating in similar industries and a control premium. The results of these valuation methodologies are weighted as to their relative importance and a single fair value is determined. Fair value determinations require considerable judgment and are sensitive to changes in underlying assumptions and factors. As a result, there can be no assurance that the estimates and assumptions made for purposes of the annual or interim goodwill impairment tests will prove to be an accurate prediction of the future.

Goodwill Impairment Assessments:

For our annual goodwill impairment test for fiscal 2022, due to overall macroeconomic conditions, including the uncertainty of the longer-term economic impacts of the COVID-19 global pandemic, we performed a quantitative impairment assessment for all of our reporting units as of January 1, 2022. Based on our annual quantitative impairment assessment for fiscal 2022, the Company determined that the fair value of each of our reporting units exceeded the related carrying value.

In fiscal 2023, during the second quarter ended September 30, 2022, due to continued adverse macro and microeconomic conditions, including the competitive environment, continued inflationary trends, recessionary economies worldwide, a decline in market valuations for companies in the media and entertainment industry, as well as potential capital market transactions, we updated our quantitative impairment assessment for all of our reporting units as of September 30, 2022 based on the most recent data and expected growth trends. The DCF analysis components of the fair value estimates were determined primarily by discounting estimated future cash flows, which included weighted average perpetual nominal growth rates ranging from 1.5% to 3.5%, at a weighted average cost of capital (discount rate) ranging from 11.0% to 13.0%, which considered the risk of achieving the projected cash flows, including the risk applicable to the reporting unit, industry and market as a whole. Based on the September 30, 2022 quantitative impairment assessment, the Company determined that the fair value of its reporting units exceeded the carrying values for all of its reporting units.

For our annual goodwill impairment test for fiscal 2023, we performed a qualitative goodwill impairment assessment for all of our reporting units. Our qualitative assessment considered the recent performance of our reporting units and updated forecasts of performance and cash flows, as well as the continuing micro and macroeconomic environment, and industry considerations, and determined that since the quantitative assessment performed in the quarter ended September 30, 2022, there were no events or circumstances that rise to a level that would more-likely-than-not reduce the fair value of those reporting units below their carrying values; therefore, a quantitative goodwill impairment analysis was not required.

During the nine months ended December 31, 2023, we performed a qualitative goodwill impairment assessment for all our reporting units. Our qualitative assessment considered the recent performance of our

82

reporting units, updated forecasts of future performance and cash flows of our reporting units, as well as the current micro and macroeconomic environments in relation to the current and expected performance of our reporting units, and industry considerations, and determined that since the quantitative assessment performed in the quarter ended September 30, 2022 and our qualitative assessment performed for fiscal 2023, there were no events or circumstances that rise to a level that would more-likely-than-not reduce the fair value of our reporting units below their carrying values; therefore, a quantitative goodwill impairment analysis was not required.

Management will continue to monitor all of its reporting units for further changes in the business environment that could impact the recoverability in future periods. The recoverability of goodwill is dependent upon the continued growth of revenue and cash flows from our business activities. Examples of events or circumstances that could result in changes to the underlying key assumptions and judgments used in our goodwill impairment tests, and ultimately impact the estimated fair value of our reporting units may include the global economy; consumer consumption levels of our content; adverse macroeconomic conditions related to higher inflation and interest rates and currency rate fluctuations, and the impact on the global economy from wars, terrorism and multiple international conflicts, and past and future bank failures; volatility in the equity and debt markets which could result in higher weighted-average cost of capital; capital market transactions; the duration and potential impact of strikes of unions which we rely on, on our ability to produce, acquire and distribute our content; the commercial success of our television programming and motion pictures; our continual contractual relationships with our customers; and changes in consumer behavior. If our assumptions are not realized, it is possible that additional impairment charges may need to be recorded in the future.

Corporate expense allocation. Lionsgate’s corporate general and administrative functions and costs have historically provided oversight over both the Starz Business and the Studio Business. These functions and costs include, but are not limited to, salaries and wages for certain executives and other corporate officers related to executive oversight, investor relations costs, costs for the maintenance of corporate facilities, and other common administrative support functions, including corporate accounting, finance and financial reporting, audit and tax costs, corporate and other legal support functions, and certain information technology and human resources. Accordingly, the audited combined financial statements of the Studio Business include allocations of certain general and administrative expenses (inclusive of share-based compensation) from Lionsgate of $127.5 million, $99.6 million and $109.4 million for the years ended March 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, related to these corporate and shared service functions historically provided by Lionsgate.

The allocation of costs to the Studio Business are subjective and requires considerable judgment. The allocations of general and administrative expenses to the Studio Business are on the basis of direct usage when identifiable, with the remainder allocated on a pro rata basis of consolidated Lionsgate revenue, payroll expense or other measures management considered to be a reasonable reflection of the estimated historical utilization levels of these services. Such allocations represent approximately 80.2%, 80.0%, and 78.9% for the years ended March 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively, of total Lionsgate corporate general and administrative expense. See Components of Results of Operations – Expenses above for further information.

Accordingly, the Studio Business combined financial statements may not necessarily be indicative of the conditions that would have existed or the results of operations if the Company had been operated as an unaffiliated entity, and may not be indicative of the expenses that the Company will incur in the future. An increase or decrease in the expenses allocated to the Company or a change in the methodology of allocation of expenses could result in higher or lower general and administrative expense.

Income Taxes. For purposes of our combined financial statements, income taxes have been calculated as if we filed income tax returns on a standalone basis reflecting the income tax treatment of transactions and balances included within the managed basis combined financial statements of the Studio Business. Our U.S. operations and certain of our non-U.S. operations historically have been included in the income tax returns of Lionsgate or its subsidiaries that may not be part of the Company. We believe the assumptions supporting our allocation and

83

presentation of income taxes on a separate return basis are reasonable. However, our tax results, as presented in the combined financial statements, may not be reflective of the results that we expect to generate in the future. However, as discussed in Note 1 to the audited combined financial statements of the Studio Business, the combined financial statements are presented on a managed basis rather than a legal entity basis, with certain deductions and other items that are included in the consolidated financial statements of Lionsgate, but not included in the combined financial statements of the Studio Business. Accordingly, the income tax provision and deferred taxes, including tax attributes, are expected to differ following the Business Combination.

For carve-out financial statement purposes, we determined our tax provision and deferred taxes on a separate return basis utilizing the same managed basis approach as the combined Studio Business financial statements as mentioned above, and accordingly recorded deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carryforwards and certain temporary differences, net of applicable reserves in each jurisdiction. We recognize a future tax benefit to the extent that realization of such benefit is more likely than not on a jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction basis; otherwise, a valuation allowance is applied. In order to realize the benefit of our deferred tax assets, we will need to generate sufficient taxable income in the future in each of the jurisdictions which have these deferred tax assets. However, the assessment as to whether there will be sufficient taxable income in a jurisdiction to realize our net deferred tax assets in that jurisdiction is an estimate which could change in the future depending primarily upon the actual performance of our Company. As of March 31, 2023, we have a valuation allowance of $152.2 million against certain U.S. and foreign deferred tax assets that may not be realized on a more likely than not basis.

Our quarterly income tax provision and our corresponding annual effective tax rate are based on expected income, statutory tax rates and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which we operate. For interim financial reporting, we estimate the annual effective tax rate based on projected taxable income for the full year and record a quarterly tax provision in accordance with the expected annual effective tax rate, plus or minus the tax effects of items that relate discretely to the period, if any. As the year progresses, we refine the estimates of the year’s taxable income as new information becomes available, including year-to-date financial results. This continual estimation process often results in a change to our expected annual effective tax rate for the year. When this occurs, we adjust our income tax provision during the quarter in which the change in estimate occurs so that the year-to-date income tax provision reflects the expected annual effective tax rate. Significant judgment is required in determining our expected annual effective tax rate and in evaluating our tax positions.

Our effective tax rates differ from the federal statutory rate and are affected by many factors, including the overall level of pre-tax income (loss), the mix of our pre-tax income (loss) generated across the various jurisdictions in which we operate, any changes in tax laws and regulations in those jurisdictions, changes in uncertain tax positions, changes in valuation allowances against our deferred tax assets, tax planning strategies available to us and other discrete items.

Revenues. Combined revenues decreased $153.9 million in the nine months ended December 31, 2023 reflecting decreased revenue from the Television Production segment, partially offset by increased revenue from the Motion Picture segment.

Motion Picture revenue increased $454.0 million in the current period due primarily to higher theatrical and international revenue associated with the release of The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes, and higher digital media home entertainment revenue, television and other revenue. Motion Picture revenue included $113.7 million of revenue from licensing Motion Picture segment product to the Starz Business, representing an increase of $83.7 million from the nine months ended December 31, 2022.

Television Production revenue decreased $607.9 million due to decreased domestic and international television revenue from lower revenues from the licensing of Starz original series to the Starz Business, and lower third-party domestic television revenue, digital media home entertainment and other revenue. Television Production revenue included $308.4 million of revenue from licensing Television Production segment product to the Starz Business, representing a decrease of $310.2 million from the nine months ended December 31, 2022.
