LGVL holds all 4,049,972 of the Voting Shares directly. Because LGVL is a direct wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty Global, Liberty Global may be deemed to beneficially own all of the 4,049,972 Voting Shares and share voting and dispositive power over the Voting Shares with LGVL.

Item 6.Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer

The information contained in Item 6 of the Schedule 13D is hereby amended and supplemented to include the following information:

Studios Transactions and Related Agreements

On May 13, 2024, the Issuer consummated a series of transactions (the “Studios Transactions”) pursuant to which the Issuer’s Lions Gate Studios business became a publicly traded company named Lionsgate Studios Corp. (“Studios”) that remains a majority-owned subsidiary of the Issuer.

In connection with the consummation of the Studios Transactions, on May 13, 2024, LGVL and Liberty Global entered into an investor rights agreement with MHR, DLIL, Studios, Discovery and the Seller Funds (the “Studios Investor Rights Agreement”).

The Studios Investor Rights Agreement provides that (1) for so long as Liberty Global and Discovery and their respective controlled affiliates beneficially own at least 10,000,000 Shares in the aggregate, Studios will include one designee of Liberty Global and one designee of Discovery on its slate of director nominees for election to the board of directors of Studios (the “Studios Board”) at each future annual meeting of Studios’ shareholders and (2) for so long as Liberty Global and Discovery and their respective controlled affiliates beneficially own at least 5,000,000, but less than 10,000,000, Shares in the aggregate, Studios will include one designee of Liberty Global and Discovery, collectively, on its slate of director nominees for election to the Studios Board at each future annual meeting of Studios’ shareholders, selected by (a) Liberty Global, if Liberty Global and its controlled affiliates exceed such 5,000,000-Share threshold but Discovery and its controlled affiliates do not, (b) Discovery, if Discovery and its controlled affiliates exceed such 5,000,000-Share threshold but Liberty Global and its controlled affiliates do not, and (c) Liberty Global and Discovery, jointly, if neither Liberty Global nor Discovery (together with their respective controlled affiliates) exceeds such 5,000,000-Share threshold. The initial designee of Liberty Global is Michael T. Fries, President and Chief Executive Officer of Liberty Global.

 Page 6 of 15 Pages 

 

 

The Studios Investor Rights Agreement further provides that (1) for so long as funds affiliated with MHR beneficially own at least 10,000,000 Shares in the aggregate, Studios will include three designees of MHR (at least one of whom will be an independent director and will be subject to approval of the Studios Board) on its slate of director nominees for election at each future annual meeting of Studios’ shareholders and (2) for so long as funds affiliated with MHR beneficially own at least 5,000,000, but less than 10,000,000, Shares in the aggregate, Studios will include one designee of MHR on its slate of director nominees for election at each future annual meeting of Studios’ shareholders.

Under the Studios Investor Rights Agreement, Studios has also agreed to provide Liberty Global, Discovery and MHR with certain pre-emptive rights on common shares of Studios (“Studios Shares”) (or securities that are convertible or exercisable into or exchangeable for Studios Shares) that Studios may issue in the future for cash consideration. Liberty Global and Discovery have agreed that if they or any of their respective controlled affiliates sell or transfer any Studios Shares to a shareholder or group of shareholders that beneficially own 5% or more of the Studios Shares, or that would result in a person or group of persons beneficially owning 5% or more of the Studios Shares, any such transferee will be required to agree to the transfer and certain other provisions set forth in the Investor Rights Agreement, subject to certain exceptions.

The foregoing description of the Studios Investor Rights Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Studios Investor Rights Agreement, which is included as Exhibit 99.11 to this Statement and incorporated herein by reference.

In connection with the execution of the Studios Investor Rights Agreement, on May 13, 2024, the Issuer, Studios, LGVL, DLIL, MHR, Liberty Global, Discovery and the Seller Funds entered into an amendment to the Voting and Standstill Agreement (the “Studios Voting Amendment”).

Pursuant to the Studios Voting Amendment, Liberty Global, Discovery and MHR have agreed that for so long as any of them have the right to nominate at least one representative to the Studios Board, each of them will vote any Studios Shares owned by them and their respective controlled affiliates in favor of each of the other’s respective director nominees, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Voting and Standstill Agreement. In addition, the Issuer agreed to vote the Studios Shares owned by the Issuer in favor of the designees of Liberty Global, Discovery and MHR to the Studios Board.

Pursuant to the Studios Voting Amendment, Liberty Global and Discovery have also agreed to vote, in any vote of Studios’ shareholders on a merger, amalgamation, plan of arrangement, consolidation , business combination, third party tender offer, asset sale or other similar transaction involving Studios or any of Studios’ subsidiaries (and any proposal relating to the issuance of capital, any increase in the authorized capital or, subject to certain exceptions, any amendment to any constitutional documents in connection with any of the foregoing), any Studios Shares beneficially owned by them and their respective controlled affiliates in excess of 18.5% of Studios’ outstanding voting power in the aggregate in the same proportion as the votes cast by shareholders other than Liberty Global, Discovery and their respective affiliates.

 Page 7 of 15 Pages 

 

Liberty Global and Discovery have agreed that if they or any of their respective controlled affiliates sell or transfer any Studios Shares to a shareholder or group of shareholders that beneficially own 5% or more of the Studios Shares, or that would result in a person or group of persons beneficially owning 5% or more of the Studios Shares, any such transferee will be required to agree to the voting provisions set forth in the Voting and Standstill Agreement, subject to certain exceptions.

The foregoing description of the Studios Voting Amendment does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Studios Voting Agreement and the Voting and Standstill Agreement, which are included as Exhibits 99.12 and 99.6, respectively, to this Statement and incorporated herein by reference.
