Fair Value Measurements

10. Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value

Accounting guidance and standards about fair value define fair value as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Fair Value Hierarchy

Fair value hierarchy requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. A financial instrument’s categorization within the fair value hierarchy is based upon the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The accounting guidance and standards establish three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:

•

Level 1 — Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

•

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets); or model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.

•

Level 3 — Unobservable inputs to the valuation methodology that are significant to the measurement of fair value of assets or liabilities.

The following table sets forth the assets and liabilities required to be carried at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2024 and 2023:

(1)	Film related obligations commitments are not reflected on the combined balance sheets as they did not then meet the criteria for recognition and include the following items:

(i)

Distribution and marketing commitments represent contractual commitments for future expenditures associated with distribution and marketing of films which the Company will distribute. The payment dates of these amounts are primarily based on the anticipated release date of the film.

(ii)

Minimum guarantee commitments represent contractual commitments related to the purchase of film rights for pictures to be delivered in the future.

(iii)

Production loan commitments represent amounts committed for future film production and development to be funded through production financing and recorded as a production loan liability when incurred. Future payments under these commitments are based on anticipated delivery or release dates of the related film or contractual due dates of the commitment. The amounts include estimated future interest payments associated with the commitment.

(2)	Includes cash interest payments on the Company’s Senior Credit Facilities and film related obligations, based on the applicable SOFR interest rates at March 31, 2024, net of payments and receipts from the

Company’s interest rate swaps, and excluding the interest payments on the revolving credit facility as future amounts are not fixed or determinable due to fluctuating balances and interest rates.

(3)	Not included in the amounts above are $123.3 million of redeemable noncontrolling interest, as future amounts and timing are subject to a number of uncertainties such that the Company is unable to make sufficiently reliable estimations of future payments (see Note 11).

PIPE with Reduction Right Liability	Mar. 31, 2024	Dec. 31, 2023
Disclosure Of Private Investment In Public Equity [Abstract]
PIPE with Reduction Right Liability	NOTE 10-PIPE WITH REDUCTION RIGHT LIABILITY Concurrently with the execution of the Business Combination Agreement, the Company, New SEAC and Lions Gate Parent entered into subscription agreements with certain institutional and accredited investors (the “PIPE Investors” and the subscription agreements, the “Initial Subscription Agreements”) 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 . The Initial Subscription Agreements have a variable amount of shares at settlement to the extent the PIPE Investors exercise their Reduction Right, subject to certain other conditions. Pursuant to the Initial Subscription Agreements, a PIPE Investor may elect to reduce the number of PIPE Shares it is obligated to purchase under its Initial Subscription Agreement (the “Reduction Right”), on a one-for-one basis, up to the total amount of PIPE Shares subscribed thereunder, to the extent a PIPE Investor (i) purchases 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 the Company’s shareholders (the “SEAC Shareholders’ Meeting”) (the “Open Market Purchase Shares”), subject to certain conditions, and (ii) beneficially owned any Class A Ordinary Shares as of the date of its Initial Subscription Agreement, subject to certain conditions (both as described above). If such PIPE Investors exercise their Reduction Right and meet these conditions, then for every Class A Ordinary Share for which such PIPE Investor exercises its Reduction Right, such PIPE Investor will be entitled to purchase from the Company 0.1111 newly issued Class A Ordinary Shares at a purchase price of $ 0.0001 per share, which shares will be issued by the Company prior to the SEAC Merger (the “Reduction Right Shares”). If the Reduction Right is exercised by any PIPE Investors, this would result in the Company raising additional incremental common equity proceeds relative to the aggregate cash PIPE proceeds of $ 175,000,000 and issuing Reduction Right Shares. The Initial Subscription Agreements were evaluated under ASC 815 and meet the criteria for liability classification since the shares in the settlement are variable based on an input not considered to be inputs to the fair value of a fixed-for-fixed forward or option on equity shares. As such, the PIPE with reduction right liability is recorded at its initial fair value on the date the Company entered the Initial Subscription Agreements (or December 22, 2023), and each balance sheet date thereafter. Changes in the estimated fair value of the liability are recognized as a non-cash gain or loss on the statements of operations. The fair value of the liability is discussed in Note 11. This liability will cease to exist upon the earlier of the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Initial Subscription Agreements or expiration of the Initial Subscription Agreements. For the avoidance of doubt, the PIPE reflects common equity in the pro forma, combined company and will be accounted for as such after the closing of the Lionsgate Business Combinat ion.	Note 10-PIPE with Reduction Right Liability 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 The Subscription Agreements have a variable amount of shares at settlement to the extent the PIPE Investors exercise their Reduction Right, subject to certain other conditions.

Financial Instruments

18. Financial Instruments

(a) Credit Risk

Concentration of credit risk with the Company’s customers is limited due to the Company’s customer base and the diversity of its sales throughout the world. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations and maintains a provision for potential credit losses. The Company generally does not require collateral for its trade accounts receivable.

(b) Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts

The Company enters into forward

foreign exchange contracts to hedge

its foreign currency exposures on future production expenses and tax credit receivables denominated in various foreign currencies (i.e., cash flow hedges). The Company also enters into forward foreign exchange contracts that economically hedge certain of its foreign currency risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting. The Company monitors its positions with, and the credit quality of, the financial institutions that are party to its financial transactions. Changes in the fair value of the foreign exchange contracts that are designated as hedges are reflected in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and changes in the fair value of foreign exchange contracts that are not designated as hedges and do not qualify for hedge accounting are recorded in direct operating expense. Gains and losses realized upon settlement of the foreign exchange contracts that are designated as hedges are amortized to direct operating expense on the same basis as the production expenses being hedged.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had the following outstanding forward foreign exchange

contracts

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company is exposed to the impact of interest rate changes, primarily through its borrowing activities. The Company’s objective is to mitigate the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows. The Company primarily uses

pay-fixed

interest rate swaps to facilitate its interest rate risk management activities, which the Company generally designates as cash flow hedges of interest payments on floating-rate borrowings.

Pay-fixed

swaps effectively convert floating-rate borrowings to fixed-rate borrowings. The unrealized gains or losses from these designated cash flow hedges are deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and recognized in interest expense as the interest payments occur. Changes in the fair value of interest rate swaps that are not designated as hedges are recorded in interest expense (see further explanation below).

Cash settlements related to interest rate contracts are generally classified as operating activities on the combined statements of cash flows. However, due to a financing component (debt host) on a portion of the Company’s previously outstanding interest rate swaps, the cash flows related to these contracts were classified as financing activities through the date of termination.

Designated Cash Flow Hedges.

As of March

2024

and March

2023

, the Company had the following

pay-fixed

interest rate swaps, which have been designated as cash flow hedges outstanding (all related to the Company’s SOFR-based debt, see Note

(1)	Represents the re-designated swaps as described in the May 2022 Transactions section below that were previously not designated cash flow hedges at March 31, 2022

May 2022 Transactions

In May 2022, the Company terminated certain of its previous interest rate swap contracts (the “Terminated Swaps”). As a result of the terminations, the Company received approximately $56.4 million. Simultaneously with the termination of the Terminated Swaps, the Company

re-designated

all other swaps previously not designated as cash flow hedges of variable rate debt.

The receipt of approximately $56.4 million as a result of the termination was recorded as a reduction of the asset values of the derivatives amounting to $188.7 million and a reduction of the financing component (debt host) of the Terminated Swaps amounting to $131.3 million. At the time of the termination of the Terminated Swaps, there was approximately $180.4 million of unrealized gains recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to these Terminated Swaps. This amount will be amortized as a reduction of interest expense through the remaining term of the swaps unless it becomes probable that the cash flows originally hedged will not occur, in which case the proportionate amount of the gain will be recorded as a reduction to interest expense at that time. In addition, the liability amount of $6.8 million for the

Re-designated

Swaps at the

re-designation

date will be amortized as a reduction of interest expense throughout the remaining term of the

Re-designated

Swaps, unless it becomes probable that the cash flows originally hedged will not occur, in which case the proportionate amount of the loss will be recorded to interest expense at that time.

The receipt of approximately $

56.4

million was classified in the combined statement of cash flows as cash provided by operating activities of $

188.7

million reflecting the amount received for the derivative portion of the termination of swaps, and a use of cash in financing activities of $

134.5

million reflecting the pay down of the financing component of the Terminated Swaps (inclusive of payments made between April

2022

and the termination date amounting to $

3.2

million).

Combined balance sheets:

The Company classifies its forward foreign exchange contracts and interest rate swap agreements within Level 2 as the valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and market observable data of similar instruments (see Note 10). Pursuant to the Company’s accounting policy to offset the fair value amounts recognized for derivative instruments, the Company presents the asset or liability position of the swaps that are with the same counterparty under a master netting arrangement net as either an asset or liability in its combined balance sheets. As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, there were no swaps outstanding that were subject to a master netting arrangement.

As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had the following amounts recorded in the accompanying combined balance sheets related to the Company’s use of derivatives:

As of March 31, 2024, based on the current release schedule, the Company estimates approximately $1.5 million of losses associated with forward foreign exchange contract cash flow hedges in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) will be reclassified into earnings during the

one-year

period ending March 31, 2025.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company estimates approximately $30.4 million of gains recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) associated with interest rate swap agreement cash flow hedges will be reclassified into interest expense during the

Restructuring and other includes restructuring and severance costs, certain transaction and other costs, and certain unusual items, when applicable. During the years ended March 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company also incurred certain other unusual charges or benefits, which are included in direct operating expense and distribution and marketing expense in the combined statements of operations and are described below. The following table sets forth restructuring and other and these other unusual charges or benefits and the statement of operations line items they are included in for the years ended March 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022:

Total restructuring and other and other unusual charges not included in restructuring and other	$	133.5		$	26.4		$	7.0

(1)

Amounts in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 include $12.8 million of development costs written off in connection with changes in strategy in the Television Production segment as a result of the acquisition of eOne. Amounts in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 include an impairment of an operating lease

right-of-use

asset related to the Studio Business and corporate facilities amounting to $5.8 million associated with a portion of a facility lease that will no longer be utilized by the Company. The impairment reflects a decline in market conditions since the inception of the lease impacting potential sublease opportunities, and represents the difference between the estimated fair value, which was determined based on the expected discounted future cash flows of the lease asset, and the carrying value.

(2)

Severance costs in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 were primarily related to restructuring activities and other cost-saving initiatives. In fiscal 2024, amounts were due to restructuring activities including integration of the acquisition of eOne and our Motion Picture and Television Production segment.

(3)

Amounts in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 reflect transaction, integration and legal costs associated with certain strategic transactions, and restructuring activities and also include costs and benefits associated with legal and other matters. In fiscal 2024, these amounts include $49.2

million associated with the acquisition of additional interest in 3 Arts Entertainment. Due to the new arrangement representing a modification of terms of the compensation element under the previous arrangement which resulted in the reclassification of the equity award to a liability award, the Company recognized incremental compensation expense of $

49.2

million, representing the excess of the fair value of the modified award over amounts previously expensed. See Note 11 for further information. In addition, transaction and other costs

in fiscal 2024 includes approximately $16.6 million of a loss associated with a theft at a production of a 51% owned consolidated entity. The Company expects to recover a portion of this amount under its insurance coverage and from the noncontrolling interest holders of this entity. The remaining amounts in fiscal 2024 primarily represent acquisition and integration costs related to the acquisition of eOne, and costs associated with the separation of the Starz Business from the Studio Business.

(4)

Amounts represent certain unusual content charges. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, the amounts represent development costs written off as a result of changes in strategy across the Company’s theatrical slate in connection with certain management changes and changes in the theatrical marketplace in the Motion Picture segment. These charges are excluded from segment results and included in amortization of investment in film and television programs in direct operating expense on the combined statement of operations.

(5)

Amounts reflected in direct operating expense include incremental costs associated with the pausing and restarting of productions including paying/hiring certain cast and crew, maintaining idle facilities and equipment costs resulting

from

circumstances associated with the

COVID-19

global pandemic, net of insurance recoveries of $

1.0

million, $

8.4

million and $

15.6

million in fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In fiscal years ended March 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, insurance recoveries exceeded the incremental costs expensed in the year, resulting in a net benefit included in direct operating expense. The Company is in the process of seeking additional insurance recovery for some of these costs. The ultimate amount of insurance recovery cannot be estimated at this time.

(6)	Amounts represent charges related to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, primarily related to bad debt reserves for accounts receivable from customers in Russia, included in direct operating expense in the combined statements of operations.

Changes in the restructuring and other severance liability were as follows for the years ended March 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022:


	Year Ended March 31,
	2024			2023			2022

Noncontrolling Interests

11. Noncontrolling Interests

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests

Redeemable noncontrolling interests (included in temporary equity on the combined balance sheets) primarily relate to 3 Arts Entertainment and Pilgrim Media Group, as further described below.

Redeemable noncontrolling interests are measured at the greater of (i) the redemption amount that would be paid if settlement occurred at the balance sheet date less the amount attributed to unamortized noncontrolling interest discount if applicable, or (ii) the historical value resulting from the original acquisition date value plus or minus any earnings or loss attribution, plus the amount of amortized noncontrolling interest discount, less the amount of cash distributions that are not accounted for as compensation, if any. The amount of the redemption value in excess of the historical values of the noncontrolling interest, if any, is recognized as an increase to redeemable noncontrolling interest and a charge to parent net investment.

The table below presents the reconciliation of changes in redeemable noncontrolling interests:


	Year Ended March 31,

3 Arts Entertainment:

Accounting Prior to Acquisition of Additional Interest on January

2, 2024.

As of March 31, 2023, the Company had a redeemable noncontrolling interest representing 49%

of 3 Arts Entertainment. The noncontrolling interest was subject to put and call options at fair value that were exercisable during the year ended March 31, 2024. The put and call options were determined to be embedded in the noncontrolling interest, and because the put rights were outside the control of the Company, the noncontrolling interest holder’s interest prior to the modification discussed below was included in redeemable noncontrolling interest outside of equity on the Company’s combined balance sheets.

The noncontrolling interest holders are employees of 3 Arts Entertainment. Pursuant to the various 3 Arts Entertainment acquisition and related agreements, a portion of the noncontrolling interest holders’ participation in the put and call proceeds was based on the noncontrolling interest holders’ performance during the period. Further, if the employment of a noncontrolling interest holder is terminated, under certain circumstances, their participation in distributions cease and the put and call value was discounted from the fair value of their equity ownership percentage. Accordingly, earned distributions were accounted for as compensation and were being expensed within general and administrative expense as incurred. Additionally, the amount of the put and call proceeds subject to the discount was accounted for as compensation, and amortized over the vesting period within general and administrative expense and reflected as an addition to redeemable noncontrolling interest over the vesting period which ended in November 2022.

A portion of the purchase price of the controlling interest in 3 Arts Entertainment, up to $38.3 million, was recoupable for a five-year period commencing on the acquisition date of May 29, 2018, contingent upon the continued employment of certain employees, or the achievement of certain EBITDA targets, as defined in the 3 Arts Entertainment acquisition and related agreements. Accordingly, $38.3 million was initially recorded as a deferred compensation arrangement within other current and

non-current

assets and was amortized in general and administrative expenses over the five-year period ended May 29, 2023.

Acquisition of Additional Interest.

On January

2024

, Lionsgate closed on the acquisition of an additional

% of

Arts Entertainment representing approximately half of the noncontrolling interest for $

194.1

million. In addition, Lionsgate purchased certain profit interests held by certain managers and entered into certain option rights agreements, which replaced the put and call rights discussed above by providing noncontrolling interest holders the right to sell to the Company and Lionsgate the right to purchase their remaining

(24

%) interest beginning in

January 2027

The purchase of the additional 25% interest in 3 Arts Entertainment for $194.1 million was recorded as a reduction of noncontrolling interest which had previously been adjusted to its redemption value, which equaled fair value. At the completion of the purchase, a portion of the noncontrolling interest continued to be considered compensatory, as it was subject to forfeiture provisions upon termination of employment under certain circumstances, and the remaining portion represented the noncontrolling interest holders’ fully vested equity interest. Under the new arrangement, the holders’ right to sell their interest to the Company, and the Company’s right to purchase the noncontrolling interest, are based on a formula-based amount (i.e., a fixed EBITDA multiple), subject to a minimum purchase price, rather than being based on fair value. Since the redemption features described above were based on a formula using a fixed multiple, the compensatory portion of the noncontrolling interest is now considered a liability award, and as a result, approximately $93.2 million was reclassified from mezzanine equity to a liability, and is reflected in “other

liabilities—non-current”

in the combined balance sheet at March 31, 2024. In addition, because the new arrangement represented a modification of terms of the compensation element under the previous arrangement which resulted in the reclassification of the equity award to a liability award, the Company recognized incremental compensation expense of $49.2

million in the quarter ended March 31, 2024, representing the excess of the fair value of the modified award over amounts previously expensed. This incremental expense was reflected in “restructuring and other” in the combined statement of operations, and as a reduction of parent net investment in equity, reflected in the “redeemable noncontrolling interests adjustments to redemption value” line item in the combined statements of equity (deficit).

As of March 31, 2024, the Company had a remaining redeemable noncontrolling interest balance related to 3 Arts Entertainment of $93.2

million, reflecting the fully vested equity portion of the noncontrolling interest, which remains classified as redeemable noncontrolling interest outside of equity on the Company’s combined balance sheets due to the purchase and sale rights beginning in 2027 which were determined to be embedded in the noncontrolling interest, and are outside the control of the Company. The redeemable noncontrolling interest will be adjusted to its redemption value through parent net investment through the sale or purchase right date in January 2027. The liability component of the noncontrolling interest, amounting to

$93.2 million at March 31, 2024, will be reflected at its estimated redemption value, with any changes in estimated redemption value recognized as a charge or benefit in general and administrative expense in the combined statement of operations over the vesting period (i.e., the period from January 2, 2024 to the sale or purchase right date in January 2027). Earned distributions continue to be accounted for as compensation since such amounts are allocated based on performance, and are being expensed within general and administrative expense as incurred.

Pilgrim Media Group:

In connection with the acquisition of a controlling interest in Pilgrim Media Group on November 12, 2015, the Company recorded a redeemable noncontrolling interest of $90.1 million, representing 37.5% of Pilgrim Media Group. Pursuant to an amendment dated April 2, 2021, the put and call rights associated with the Pilgrim Media Group noncontrolling interest were extended and modified, such that the noncontrolling interest holder had a right to put and the Company had a right to call a portion of the noncontrolling interest, equal to 25% of Pilgrim Media Group, at fair value, exercisable for thirty (30) days beginning November 12, 2022. On November 14, 2022, the noncontrolling interest holder exercised the right to put a portion of the noncontrolling interest, equal to 25% of Pilgrim Media Group. In February 2023, the Company paid $36.5 million as settlement of the exercised put option, and recorded a reduction to redeemable noncontrolling interest of $55.1 million representing the carrying value of the noncontrolling interest purchased, with the difference between the carrying value of the noncontrolling interest purchased and the cash paid for the settlement of the put recorded as an increase to parent net investment of $18.6 million. The noncontrolling interest holder has a right to put and the Company has a right to call the remaining amount of noncontrolling interest at fair value, subject to a cap, exercisable for thirty (30) days beginning November 12, 2024, as amended. The put and call options have been determined to be embedded in the noncontrolling interest, and because the put rights are outside the control of the Company and require partial cash settlement, the noncontrolling interest holder’s interest is presented as redeemable noncontrolling interest outside of equity on the Company’s combined balance sheets.

Other:

The Company has other immaterial redeemable noncontrolling interests.

Other Noncontrolling Interests

The Company has other immaterial noncontrolling interests that are not redeemable.

Total provision for income taxes	$	34.2		$	14.3		$	17.3

The Company’s income tax provision differs from the federal statutory rate multiplied by

pre-tax

income (loss) due to the mix of the Company’s

pre-tax

income (loss) generated across the various jurisdictions in which it operates, changes in the valuation allowance against deferred tax assets, and certain minimum taxes and foreign withholding taxes.

The differences between income taxes expected at U.S. statutory income tax rates and the income tax provision are as set forth below:

Total deferred tax liabilities		(189.7	)		(86.6	)


Net deferred tax liabilities	$	(13.7	)	$	(18.1	)

The Company has recorded valuation allowances for certain deferred tax assets, which are primarily related to U.S. and foreign net operating loss carryforwards and U.S. foreign tax credit carryforwards as sufficient uncertainty exists regarding the future realization of these assets.

As computed on a separate return basis, with the combined historical results of the Studio Business presented on a managed basis as discussed in Note 1, at March 31, 2024, the Company had state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately of approximately

251.6

million, which would expire in varying amounts beginning in 2025, Canada net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $359.6 million which expire in varying amounts beginning in 2036, Spain net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $96.1 million which expire in varying amounts beginning in 2036, and U.K. net operating loss carryforwards of approximately

95.1

million with no expiration. However, under the managed basis of presentation of the Studio Business, the combined historical results exclude certain deductions and other items and therefore, for purposes of these combined financial statements, these items are not reflected in the calculations of net operating loss carryforwards of the Studio Business.

The following table summarizes the changes to the gross unrecognized tax benefits, exclusive of interest and penalties, for the years ended March 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022:


	Amounts in millions
Gross unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2021	$	0.6

Decreases related to prior year tax positions		—
Settlements		—
Lapse in statute of limitations		(0.3	)

Gross unrecognized tax benefits at March 31, 2024	$	5.3

The Company records interest and penalties on unrecognized tax benefits as part of its income tax provision. For the years ended March 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized insignificant amounts of net interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2024 that, if recognized, would benefit the Company’s tax provision are $0.4 million. The Company estimates the liability for unrecognized tax benefits may decrease by approximately $1.5 million in the next twelve months.

The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state, local, and foreign jurisdictions. To the extent allowed by law, the taxing authorities may have the right to examine prior periods where net operating loss carryforwards were generated and carried forward and make adjustments up to the amount of the net operating loss carryforwards. Currently, audits are occurring in various U.S. federal, state and local tax jurisdictions for tax years ended in 2018 through 2020. Lionsgate is currently under examination by the Canadian tax authority for the years ended March 31, 2018 through March 31, 2019.

The entire disclosure for income taxes. Disclosures may include net deferred tax liability or asset recognized in an enterprise's statement of financial position, net change during the year in the total valuation allowance, approximate tax effect of each type of temporary difference and carryforward that gives rise to a significant portion of deferred tax liabilities and deferred tax assets, utilization of a tax carryback, and tax uncertainties information.

Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

1. Description of Business, Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. (“Lionsgate,” or “Parent”) encompasses world-class motion picture and television studio operations (collectively referred to as the “Studio Business”) and the STARZ-branded premium global subscription platforms (the “Starz Business”) to bring a unique and varied portfolio of entertainment to consumers around the world. Lionsgate has historically had three reportable business segments: (1) Motion Picture, (2) Television Production and (3) Media Networks. The Studio Business is substantially reflected in the Lionsgate Motion Picture and Television Production segments. These financial statements reflect the combination of the assets, liabilities, operations and cash flows reflecting the Studio Business which is referred to in these combined financial statements as the “Studio Business” or the “Company”.

These combined financial statements of the Studio Business have been prepared on a

carve-out

basis and are 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 United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“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 consists of the Motion Picture and Television Production reportable segments, together with substantially all of Lionsgate’s corporate general and administrative costs. Motion Picture 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. Television Production consists of the development, production and worldwide distribution of television productions including television series, television movies and mini-series, and

non-fiction

programming. Television Production includes the domestic and international licensing of Starz original productions to the Starz Business, and 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.

Basis of Presentation

The Studio Business has historically operated as part of Lionsgate and not as a standalone company. The Studio Business’s 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 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 accompanying combined financial statements. 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.

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 Company or to 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 for further details.

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 or the Starz Business as standalone companies. A portion of Lionsgate’s corporate debt, Lionsgate’s 5.500% senior notes due April 15, 2029 (the “Senior Notes”) and related interest expense are not reflected in the Studio Business’s combined financial statements. The Studio Business remains a guarantor under the Senior Notes indenture agreement. See Note 7 for further details.

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 for further details.

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 expense. Accordingly, the audited financial statements of the Studio Business, 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 Company 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 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.

The Company 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 Company 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 for further detail of parent net investment included in these combined financial statements.

Management believes the assumptions underlying these combined financial statements, including the assumptions regarding the allocation of general and administrative expenses from Lionsgate to the Studio Business, are reasonable. However, 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 Company might have made in areas such as executive management, legal and other professional services, and certain corporate overhead functions. See Note 20 for further detail of the allocations included in these combined financial statements.

Generally Accepted Accounting Principles

These combined financial statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP.

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying combined financial statements of the Company have been derived from the consolidated financial statements and accounting records of Lionsgate and reflect certain allocations from Lionsgate as further discussed above.

All significant intercompany balances and transactions within the Company have been eliminated in these combined financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. The most significant estimates made by management in the preparation of the financial statements relate to ultimate revenue and costs used for the amortization of investment in films and television programs; estimates related to the revenue recognition of sales or usage-based royalties; fair value of equity-based compensation; the allocations of costs to the Company for certain corporate and shared service functions in preparing the combined financial statements on a

carve-out

basis; fair value of assets and liabilities for allocation of the purchase price of companies acquired; income taxes including the assessment of valuation allowances for deferred tax assets; accruals for contingent liabilities; impairment assessments for investment in films and television programs, property and equipment, equity investments and goodwill. Actual results could differ from such estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts presented in prior years have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition

The Company’s 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.

Revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised services or

goods

to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those services or goods. Revenues do not include taxes collected from customers on behalf of taxing authorities such as sales tax and value-added tax.

Revenue also includes licensing of motion pictures and television programming (including Starz original productions) to the Starz Business. See Note 20 for further details.

Licensing Arrangements.

The Company’s content licensing arrangements include fixed fee and minimum guarantee arrangements, and sales or usage based royalties.

Fixed Fee or Minimum Guarantees:

The Company’s fixed fee or minimum guarantee licensing arrangements 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 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:

Sales or usage based royalties represent amounts due to the Company based on the “sale” or “usage” of the Company’s 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 and has been satisfied (or partially satisfied). Generally, when the Company licenses completed content with standalone functionality (such as a movie, or television show), its performance obligation will be satisfied prior to the sale or usage. When the Company licenses intellectual property that does not have stand-alone functionality (e.g., brands, themes, logos, etc.), its performance obligation is generally satisfied in the same period as the sale or usage. The actual amounts due to the Company under these arrangements are generally not reported to the Company until after the close of the reporting period. The Company records revenue under these arrangements for the amounts due and not yet reported to the Company 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 the Company’s customers, historical experience with similar titles in that market or territory, the performance of the title in other markets, and/or data available in the industry.

Revenues by Market or Product Line.

The following describes the revenues generated by market or product line. Theatrical revenues are included in the Motion Picture segment; home entertainment, television, international and other revenues are applicable to both the Motion Picture and Television Production segments.

•

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 the Company directly in the United States and through a

sub-distributor

in Canada). Revenue from the theatrical release of feature films are treated as sales or usage-based royalties, are recognized as revenue starting at the exhibition date and are based on the Company’s participation in box office receipts of the theatrical exhibitor.

•

Home Entertainment.

Home entertainment consists of Digital Media and Packaged Media.

•

Digital Media.

Digital media includes digital transaction revenue sharing arrangements

(pay-per-view

and

video-on-demand

platforms, electronic sell through (“EST”), and digital rental) and licenses of content to digital platforms for a fixed fee.

Digital Transaction Revenue Sharing Arrangements:

Primarily represents revenue sharing arrangements with certain digital media platforms which generally provide that, in exchange for a

nominal or no upfront sales price, the Company shares in the rental or sales revenues generated by the platform on a

title-by-title

basis. These digital media platforms generate revenue from rental and EST arrangements, such as

download-to-own,

download-to-rent,

and

video-on-demand.

These revenue sharing arrangements are recognized as sales or usage-based royalties based on the performance of these platforms and pursuant to the terms of the contract, as discussed above.

Licenses of Content to Digital Platforms:

Primarily represents the licensing of content to

subscription-video-on-demand

(“SVOD”) or other digital platforms for a fixed fee. As discussed above, revenues are recognized when the content has been delivered and the window for the exploitation right in that territory has begun.

•

Packaged Media

. Packaged media revenues represent the sale of motion pictures and television shows (produced or acquired) on physical discs (DVD’s,

Blu-ray,

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

•

Television

Television revenues are derived from the licensing to domestic markets (linear pay, basic cable, free television markets, syndication) of motion pictures (including theatrical productions and acquired films) and scripted and unscripted television series, television movies, mini-series, and

non-fiction

programming. Television revenues include fixed fee arrangements as well as arrangements in which the Company earns advertising revenue from the exploitation of certain content on television networks. Television also includes revenue from licenses to SVOD platforms in which the initial license of a television series is to an SVOD platform or the traditional pay window for a motion picture is licensed to an SVOD platform. Revenues associated with a title, right, or window from television licensing arrangements are recognized when the feature film or television program is delivered (on an episodic basis for television product) and the window for the exploitation right has begun.

•

International.

International revenues are derived from (1) licensing of the Company’s productions, acquired films, catalog product and libraries of acquired titles to international distributors, on a

territory-by-territory

basis; (2) the direct distribution of the Company’s productions, acquired films, and the Company’s catalog product and libraries of acquired titles in the United Kingdom; and (3) licensing to international markets of scripted and unscripted series, television movies, mini-series and

non-fiction

programming. License fees and minimum guarantee amounts associated with title, window, media or territory, are recognized when access to the feature film or television program has been granted or delivery has occurred, as required under the contract, and the right to exploit the feature film or television program in that window, media or territory has commenced. Revenues are also generated from sales or usage based royalties received from international distributors based on their distribution performance pursuant to the terms of the contracts after the recoupment of certain costs in some cases, and the initial minimum guarantee, if any, and are recognized when the sale by the Company’s customer generating a royalty due to the Company has occurred.

•

Other.

Other revenues are derived from the licensing of the Company’s film and television and related content (games, music, location-based entertainment royalties, etc.) to other ancillary markets and from commissions and executive producer fees earned related to talent management.

Revenues from the licensing of film and television content and the sales and licensing of music are recognized when the content has been delivered and the license period has begun, as discussed above. Revenues from the licensing of symbolic intellectual property (i.e., licenses of motion pictures or television characters, brands, storylines, themes or logos) is recognized over the corresponding license term. Commissions are recognized as such services are provided.

Deferred Revenue.

Deferred revenue relates primarily to customer cash advances or deposits received prior to when the Company satisfies the corresponding performance obligation.

Deferred revenue also relates to customer payments are made in advance of when the Company fulfills its performance obligation and recognizes revenue. This primarily occurs under television production contracts, in which payments may be received as the production progresses, international motion picture contracts, where a portion of the payments are received prior to the completion of the movie and prior to license rights start dates, and pay television contracts with multiple windows with a portion of the revenues deferred until the subsequent exploitation windows commence. These arrangements do not contain significant financing components because the reason for the payment structure is not for the provision of financing to the Company, but rather to mitigate the Company’s risk of customer

non-performance

and incentivize the customer to exploit the Company’s content.

See Note 12 for further information.

Accounts Receivable.

Payment terms vary by location and type of customer and the nature of the licensing arrangement. However, other than certain multi-year license arrangements; payments are generally due within 60 days after revenue is recognized. For certain multi-year licensing arrangements, primarily in the television, digital media, and international markets, payments may be due over a longer period. When the Company expects the period between fulfillment of its performance obligation and the receipt of payment to be greater than a year, a significant financing component is present. In these cases, such payments are discounted to present value based on a discount rate reflective of a separate financing transaction between the customer and the Company, at contract inception. The significant financing component is recorded as a reduction to revenue and accounts receivable initially, with such accounts receivable discount amortized to interest income over the period to receipt of payment. The Company does not assess contracts with deferred payments for significant financing components if, at contract inception, the Company expects the period between fulfillment of the performance obligation and subsequent payment to be one year or less.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash deposits at financial institutions and investments in money market mutual funds.

Restricted Cash

At March 31, 2024, the Company had restricted cash of $

57.4

million primarily representing amounts related to required cash reserves for interest payments associated with the Production Tax Credit Facility, IP Credit Facility and Backlog Facility (March 31, 2023- $

40.5

million). Restricted cash is included within “other current assets” and “other

non-current

assets” on the combined balance sheets (see Note 19).

Investment in Films and Television Programs

General.

Investment in films and television programs includes the unamortized costs of films and television programs, which are monetized individually (i.e., through domestic theatrical, home entertainment, television, international or other ancillary-market distribution).

Recording Cost.

Costs of acquiring and producing films and television programs and of acquired libraries are capitalized when incurred. For films and television programs produced by the Company, capitalized costs include all direct production and financing costs, capitalized interest and production overhead. For the years ended March 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, total capitalized interest was $

21.0

million, $

28.1

million and $

12.8

million, respectively. For acquired films and television programs, capitalized costs consist of minimum guarantee payments to acquire the distribution rights.

Amortization.

Costs of acquiring and producing films and television programs and of acquired libraries that are monetized individually are amortized using the individual-film-forecast method, whereby these costs are

amortized and participations and residuals costs are accrued in the proportion that current year’s revenue bears to management’s estimate of ultimate revenue at the beginning of the current year expected to be recognized from the exploitation, exhibition or sale of the films or television programs.

Ultimate Revenue.

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

Development.

Films and television programs in development include costs of acquiring film rights to books, stage plays or original screenplays and costs to adapt such projects. Such costs are capitalized and, upon commencement of production, are transferred to production costs. Projects in development are written off at the earlier of the date they are determined not to be recoverable or when abandoned, or three years from the date of the initial investment unless the fair value of the project exceeds its carrying cost.

Impairment Assessment.

An individual film or television program is evaluated for impairment when an event or change in circumstances indicates that the fair value of an individual film is less than its unamortized cost.

The fair value is determined based on a discounted cash flow analysis of the cash flows directly attributable to the title. To the extent the unamortized costs exceed the fair value, an impairment charge is recorded for the excess.

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). 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. 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.

Property and Equipment, net

Property and equipment is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is provided for on a straight line basis over the following useful lives:



Computer equipment and software		3 — 5 years
Furniture and equipment		3 — 5 years
Leasehold improvements		Lease term or the useful life, whichever is shorter
Land		Not depreciated

The Company periodically reviews and evaluates the recoverability of property and equipment. Where applicable, estimates of net future cash flows, on an undiscounted basis, are calculated based on future revenue estimates. If appropriate and where deemed necessary, a reduction in the carrying amount is recorded based on the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value based on discounted cash flows.

Leases

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at its inception. The expected term of the lease used for computing the lease liability and

right-of-use

(“ROU”) asset and determining the classification of the lease as operating or financing may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that the

Company will exercise that option. The Company also elected to not separate lease components from

non-lease

components across all lease categories. Instead, each separate lease component and

non-lease

component are accounted for as a single lease component.

Operating Leases.

Operating lease ROU assets, representing the Company’s right to use the underlying asset for the lease term, are included in the “Other

assets—non-current”

line item in the Company’s combined balance sheets. Operating lease liabilities, representing the present value of the Company’s obligation to make payments over the lease term, are included in the “Other accrued liabilities” and “Other

liabilities—non-current”

line items in the Company’s combined balance sheets. The Company has entered into various short-term operating leases which have an initial term of 12 months or less. These short-term leases are not recorded on the Company’s combined balance sheets. Lease expense for operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The present value of the lease payments is calculated using a rate implicit in the lease, when readily determinable. However, as most of the Company’s leases do not provide an implicit rate, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of the lease payments for the majority of its leases.

Variable lease payments that are based on an index or rate are included in the measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities at lease inception. All other variable lease payments are expensed as incurred and are not included in the measurement of ROU assets and lease liabilities.

The Company did not have any finance leases during the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Investments

Investments include investments accounted for under the equity method of accounting, and equity investments with and without readily determinable fair value.

Equity Method Investments:

The Company uses the equity method of accounting for investments in companies in which it has a minority equity interest and the ability to exert significant influence over operating decisions of the companies. Significant influence is generally presumed to exist when the Company owns between

% and

% of the voting interests in the investee, holds substantial management rights or holds an interest of less than

% in an investee that is a limited liability partnership or limited liability corporation that is treated as a flow-through entity.

Under the equity method of accounting, the Company’s share of the investee’s earnings (losses) are included in the “equity interests income (loss)” line item in the combined statements of operations. The Company records its share of the net income or loss of most equity method investments on a one quarter lag and, accordingly, during the years ended March 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company recorded its share of the income or loss generated by these entities for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Dividends and other distributions from equity method investees are recorded as a reduction of the Company’s investment. Distributions received up to the Company’s interest in the investee’s retained earnings are considered returns on investments and are classified within cash flows from operating activities in the combined statements of cash flows. Distributions from equity method investments in excess of the Company’s interest in the investee’s retained earnings are considered returns of investments and are classified within cash flows provided by investing activities in the combined statements of cash flows.

Other Equity Investments:

Investments in nonconsolidated affiliates in which the Company owns less than 20% of the voting common stock, or does not exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies, are recorded at fair value using quoted market prices if the investment has a readily determinable fair value. If an equity investment’s fair value is not readily determinable, the Company will recognize it at cost less any

impairment, adjusted for observable price changes in orderly transactions in the investees’ securities that are identical or similar to the Company’s investments in the investee. The unrealized gains and losses and the adjustments related to the observable price changes are recognized in net income (loss).

Impairments of Investments:

The Company regularly reviews its investments for impairment, including when the carrying value of an investment exceeds its market value. If the Company determines that an investment has sustained an other-than-temporary decline in its value, the investment is written down to its fair value by a charge to earnings. Factors that are considered by the Company in determining whether an other-than-temporary decline in value has occurred include (i) the market value of the security in relation to its cost basis, (ii) the financial condition of the investee, and (iii) the Company’s intent and ability to retain the investment for a sufficient period of time to allow for recovery in the market value of the investment.

For investments accounted for using the equity method of accounting or equity investments without a readily determinable fair value, the Company evaluates information available (e.g., budgets, business plans, financial statements, etc.) in addition to quoted market prices, if any, in determining whether an other-than-temporary decline in value exists. Factors indicative of an other-than-temporary decline include recurring operating losses, credit defaults and subsequent rounds of financing at an amount below the cost basis of the Company’s investment.

Finite-Lived Intangible Assets

Identifia

ble intangible assets with finite lives are amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over their estimated useful lives, ranging from 5 to 15 years.

Amortizabl

e intangible assets are tested for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances (triggering events) indicate that the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If a triggering event has occurred, an impairment analysis is required. The impairment test first requires a comparison of undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated over the remaining useful life of an asset to the carrying value of the asset. The impairment test is performed at the lowest level of cash flows associated with the asset. If the carrying value of the asset exceeds the undiscounted future cash flows, the asset would not be deemed to be recoverable. Impairment would then be measured as the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its fair value, which would generally be estimated based on a discounted cash flow (“DCF”) model.

The Com

pany monitors its finite-lived intangible assets and changes in the underlying circumstances each reporting period for indicators of possible impairments or a change in the useful life or method of amortization of its finite-lived intangible assets. No such triggering events were identified during the years ended March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Goodwill

At March 31, 2024, the carrying value of goodwill was $811.2 million. Goodwill is allocated to the Company’s reporting units, which are its operating segments or one level below its 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. The Company’s reporting units for purposes of goodwill impairment testing during the years ended March 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 were Motion Picture, and the Television and Talent Management businesses, both of which are part of the 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. The Company performs its 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 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 the Company believes that as a result of its 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 the Company’s reporting units. The determination of the fair value of each reporting unit utilizes DCF analyses and market-based valuation methodologies, which represent Level 3 fair value measurements. Fair value determinations require 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, and are sensitive to changes in these underlying assumptions and factors.

Goodwill Impairment Assessments:

Fiscal

2024.

For the Company’s annual goodwill impairment test for fiscal 2024, the Company performed qualitative goodwill impairment assessments for all reporting units (Motion Picture, and our Television and Talent Management businesses, both of which are part of our Television Production segment). Our qualitative assessment considered the recent performance of these reporting units, and updated forecasts of performance and cash flows, as well as the current micro and macroeconomic environments in relation to the current and expected performance of these reporting units, and industry considerations, and determined that since the date of the most recent quantitative assessment performed over these reporting units, 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 for these reporting units. See Note 6 for further information.

Fiscal 2023

In the second quarter of fiscal 2023, the Company updated its quantitative impairment assessment for all of its reporting units using a combination of DCF analyses and market-based valuation methodologies to estimate the fair value of the Company’s reporting units and determined that the fair value of its reporting units exceeded the carrying values for all of its reporting units.

For the Company

’s annual goodwill impairment test for fiscal 2023, the Company performed a qualitative goodwill impairment assessment for all of its reporting units. The Company’s qualitative assessment considered the increase in the market price of the Company’s common shares from September 30, 2022, the recent performance of the Company’s 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.

Managem

ent will continue to monitor all of its reporting units for changes in the business environment that could impact the recoverability of goodwill in future periods. The recoverability of goodwill is dependent upon the continued growth of revenue and cash flows from the Company’s business activities. Examples of events or circumstances that could result in changes to the underlying key assumptions and judgments used in the Company’s goodwill impairment tests, and ultimately impact the estimated fair value of the Company’s reporting units may include the global economy; consumer consumption levels of the Company’s 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 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, on our ability to produce, acquire and distribute our content; the commercial success of the Company’s television programming and motion pictures; the Company’s continual contractual relationships with its customers; and changes in consumer behavior. While historical performance and current expectations have resulted in fair values of the Company’s reporting units in excess of carrying values, if the Company’s assumptions are not realized, it is possible that an impairment charge may need to be recorded in the future.

Prints, Advertising and Marketing Expenses

The costs of prints, advertising and marketing expenses are expensed as incurred.

Advertising expenses for the year ended March 31, 2024 were $347.8 million (2023 — $203.4 million, 2022—$201.6 million) which were recorded as distribution and marketing expenses in the accompanying combined statements of operations.

Income Taxes

The Company’s results have historically been included in the consolidated U.S. federal income tax return and U.S. state income tax filings of Lionsgate. The Company has computed its provision for income taxes on a separate return basis in these combined financial statements. The separate return method applies the accounting guidance for income taxes to the stand-alone financial statements as if the Company was a separate taxpayer and a stand-alone enterprise for the periods presented. The calculation of income taxes for the Company on a separate return basis requires judgment and use of both estimates and allocations. However, as discussed above in Note 1, the combined historical results of the Studio Business 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.

Income taxes are accounted for using an asset and liability approach for financial accounting and reporting for income taxes and recognition and measurement of deferred assets are based upon the likelihood of realization of tax benefits in future years. Under this method, deferred taxes are provided for the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax purposes. Valuation allowances are established when management determines that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the net deferred tax asset, on a

jurisdiction-by-jurisdiction

basis, will not be realized. The financial effect of changes in tax laws or rates is accounted for in the period of enactment.

From time to time, the Company engages in transactions in which the tax consequences may be subject to uncertainty and judgment is required in assessing and estimating the tax consequences of these transactions. In determining the Company’s tax provision for financial reporting purposes, the Company establishes a reserve for uncertain tax positions unless such positions are determined to be more likely than not of being sustained upon examination, based on their technical merits. The Company’s policy is to recognize interest and/or penalties related to income tax matters in income tax expense.

Government Assistance

The Company has access to government programs that are designed to promote film and television production and distribution in certain foreign countries. The Company also has access to similar programs in certain states within the U.S. that are designed to promote film and television production in those states.

Tax credits earned with respect to expenditures on qualifying film and television productions are recorded as a reduction to investment in films and television programs when the qualifying expenditures have been incurred provided that there is reasonable assurance that the credits will be realized (see Note 3 and Note 19).

Foreign Currency Translation

Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the functional currency are translated at exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Resulting unrealized and realized gains and losses are included in the combined statements of operations.

Foreign company assets and liabilities in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in effect at the balance sheet date. Foreign company revenue and expense items are translated at the average rate of exchange for the fiscal year. Gains or losses arising on the translation of the accounts of foreign companies are included in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss, a separate component of equity.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

Derivative financial instruments are used by the Company in the management of its foreign currency and interest rate exposures. The Company’s policy is not to use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

The Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposures to foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate risks. All derivative financial instruments are recorded at fair value in the combined balance sheets (see Note 10). The effective changes in fair values of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income or loss and included in unrealized gains (losses) on cash flow hedges until the underlying hedged item is recognized in earnings. The effective changes in the fair values of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income or loss to net income or net loss when the underlying hedged item is recognized in earnings. If the derivative is not designated as a hedge, changes in the fair value of the derivative are recognized in earnings. See Note 18 for further discussion of the Company’s derivative financial instruments.

Parent Net Investment

Parent net investment in the combined balance sheets is presented in lieu of shareholders’ equity and represents Lionsgate historical investment in the Company, the accumulated net earnings (losses) after taxes and the net effect of settled transactions with and allocations from Lionsgate. All transactions reflected in parent net investment by Lionsgate in the accompanying combined balance sheets have been considered as financing activities for purposes of the combined statements of cash flows.

Share-Based Compensation

Certain Company employees participate in the share-based compensation plans sponsored by Lionsgate. Lionsgate share-based compensation awards granted to employees of the Company consist of stock options, restricted share units and share appreciation rights. As such, the awards to Company employees are reflected in parent net investment within the combined statements of equity (deficit) at the time they are expensed. The combined statements of operations also include an allocation of Lionsgate corporate and shared employee share-based compensation expenses.

The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the grant date fair value of the award. The fair value is recognized in earnings over the period during which an employee is required to provide service. See Note 13 for further discussion of the Company’s share-based compensation.

Transfers of Financial Assets

The Company enters into arrangements to sell certain financial assets (i.e., monetize its trade accounts receivables). For a transfer of financial assets to be considered a sale, the asset must be legally isolated from the

Company and the purchaser must have control of the asset. Determining whether all the requirements have been met includes an evaluation of legal considerations, the extent of the Company’s continuing involvement with the assets transferred and any other relevant considerations. When the true sales criteria are met, the Company derecognizes the carrying value of the financial asset transferred and recognizes a net gain or loss on the sale. The proceeds from these arrangements with third party purchasers are reflected as cash provided by operating activities in the combined statements of cash flows. If the sales criteria are not met, the transfer is considered a secured borrowing and the financial asset remains on the combined balance sheets with proceeds from the sale recognized as debt and recorded as cash flows from financing activities in the combined statements of cash flows. See Note 19 for discussion of the Company’s accounts receivable monetization.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Segment Reporting:

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued guidance which expands public entities’ segment disclosures by requiring disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within each reported measure of segment profit or loss, an amount and description of its composition for other segment items, and interim disclosures of a reportable segment’s profit or loss and assets. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and therefore will be effective beginning with the Company’s financial statements issued for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2025 and subsequent interim periods, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its combined financial statements and disclosures.

Income Taxes:

In December 2023, the FASB issued guidance which expands income tax disclosures by requiring public business entities, on an annual basis, to disclose specific categories in the rate reconciliation and provide additional information for reconciling items that meet a quantitative threshold. Additionally, this guidance requires all entities disaggregate disclosures on the amount of income taxes paid (net of refunds received), income or loss from continuing operations before income tax expense (or benefit) and income tax expense (or benefit) from continuing operations. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024, and therefore will be effective beginning with the Company’s financial statements issued for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2026, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on its combined financial statements and disclosures.

Leases

Leases

9. Leases

The Company has operating leases primarily for office space, studio facilities, and other equipment. The Company’s leases have remaining lease terms of up to approximately 12.25 years.

The following disclosures are based on leases whereby the Company has a contract for which the leased asset and lease liability is recognized on the Company’s combined balance sheets and reflect leases related to the Studio Business’s operations and Lionsgate corporate leases. The amounts presented are not necessarily indicative of future lease arrangements and do not necessarily reflect the results that the Company would have experienced as a standalone company for the periods presented.

The components of lease cost were as follows:


	Year Ended March 31,
	2024		2023		2022
	(Amounts in millions)

Operating lease cost (1)	$	48.7	$	35.3	$	42.1
Short-term lease cost (2)		96.2		145.0		233.1
Variable lease cost (3)		3.0		2.8		1.3

Total lease cost	$	147.9	$	183.1	$	276.5

(1)

Operating lease cost amounts primarily represent the amortization of

right-of-use

assets and are included in the “other amortization” line of the combined statements of cash flows. Amounts include costs capitalized during the period for leased assets used in the production of film and television programs.

(2)	Short-term lease cost primarily consists of leases of facilities and equipment associated with film and television productions and are capitalized when incurred.

(3)	Variable lease cost primarily consists of insurance, taxes, maintenance and other operating costs.

Supplemental balance sheet information related to leases was as follows:


Category	Balance Sheet Location		March 31, 2024		March 31, 2023
Operating Leases	(Amounts in millions)

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]
Shareholders' Deficit	NOTE 8-SHAREHOLDERS’ DEFICIT Preference Shares - The Comp any is authorized to issue 1,000,000 preference shares with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share. The Company’s board of directors will be authorized to fix the voting rights, if any, designations, powers, preferences, the relative, participating, optional or other special rights and any qualifications, limitations and restrictions thereof, applicable to the shares of each series. The board of directors will be able to, without shareholder approval, issue preference shares with voting and other rights that could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the ordinary shares and could have anti-takeover effects. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were no preference shares issued or outstanding. Class A Ordinary Shares - The Company is au thorized to issue 400,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares, with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share. Holders of Class A Ordinary Shares are entitled to one vote for each share. At March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, there were 75,000,000 Class A Ordinary Shares issued and outstanding subject to possible redemption. Class B Ordinary Shares - The Company is authorized to issue 80,000,000 Founder Shares, with a par value of $ 0.0001 per share. Holders of the Founder Shares are entitled to one vote for each share. On November 5, 2021, the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $ 25,000 to cover certain offering and formation costs of the Company in consideration for 17,250,000 of the Company’s Class B Ordinary Shares (the “Founder Shares”). On December 13, 2021, the Company effected a share recapitalization with respect to the Founder Shares whereby the Company issued one and one-quarter Founder Shares in respect of each outstanding Founder Share, resulting in the Sponsor owning 21,562,500 Founder Shares. The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 2,812,500 shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriters’ over-allotment was not exercised in full or in part, so that the number of Founder Shares would collectively represent 20 % of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. On February 19, 2022, 2,812,500 Founder Shares were forfeited because the underwriters did not exercise their over-allotment option, resulting in the Sponsor holding 18,750,000 Founder Shares. Holders of the Founder Shares will be entitled to vote on the appointment and removal of directors or continuing the Company in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands (including any special resolution required to amend the constitutional documents of the Company or to adopt new constitutional documents of the Company, in each case, as a result of the Company approving a transfer by way of continuation in a jurisdiction outside the Cayman Islands). On any other matter submitted to a vote of the shareholders prior to or in connection with the completion of the initial Business Combination, holders of the Founder Shares and holders of the Class A Ordinary Shares will vote together as a single class, except as required by law. The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A Ordinary Shares concurrently with or immediately following the completion of a Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional Class A Ordinary Shares or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination, the number of Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, 20% of the total number of Class A Ordinary Shares outstanding after such conversion (after giving effect to any redemptions of Class A Ordinary Shares by public shareholders), including the total number of Class A Ordinary Shares issued, or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of a Business Combination, excluding any Class A Ordinary Shares or equity-linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A Ordinary Shares issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination and any private placement warrants issued to the Sponsor, officers or directors upon conversion of Working Capital Loans; provided that such conversion of Founder Shares will never occur on a less than one-for-one basis.

On any other matter submitted to a vote of the shareholders prior to or in connection with the completion of the initial business combination, holders of the Founder Shares and holders of the Class A ordinary shares will vote together as a single class, except as required by law. The Founder Shares will automatically convert into Class A ordinary shares concurrently with or immediately following the completion of a Business Combination on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment. In the case that additional Class A ordinary shares or equity-linked securities are issued or deemed issued in connection with a Business Combination, the number of Class A ordinary shares issuable upon conversion of all Founder Shares will equal, in the aggregate, 20% of the total number of Class A ordinary shares outstanding after such conversion (after giving effect to any redemptions of Class A ordinary shares by public shareholders), including the total number of Class A ordinary shares issued, or deemed issued or issuable upon conversion or exercise of any equity-linked securities or rights issued or deemed issued, by the Company in connection with or in relation to the consummation of a Business Combination, excluding any Class A ordinary shares or equity- linked securities exercisable for or convertible into Class A ordinary shares issued, or to be issued, to any seller in a Business Combination and any private placement warrants issued to the Sponsor, officers or directors upon conversion of Working Capital Loans; provided that such conversion of Founder Shares will never occ u r on a less than one-for-one basis.

The entire disclosure for equity.

STUDIO BUSINESS OF LIONS GATE ENTERTAINMENT CORP [Member]

Share-Based Compensation

12 Months Ended

Mar. 31, 2024

Share-Based Compensation

13. Share-Based Compensation

General.

In September

2019, and as amended in 2021, Lionsgate shareholders approved the Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. 2019 Performance Incentive Plan (the “2019 Lionsgate Plan”) previously adopted by Lionsgate’s Board of Directors (the “Lionsgate Board”). Certain Company employees were granted stock options, restricted share units or share appreciation rights under the 2019 Lionsgate Plan.

The following disclosures of unit data are based on grants related directly to Company employees and Lionsgate corporate and shared employees, and exclude unit data related to employees of the Starz Business. The amounts presented are not necessarily indicative of future awards and do not necessarily reflect the results that the Company would have experienced as a standalone company for the periods presented.

Stock options are generally granted at exercise prices equal to or exceeding the market price of shares of existing Lionsgate common stock at the date of grant. Substantially all stock options vest ratably over

one

five

from the grant date based on continuous service and expire

seven

to ten years from the date of grant. Restricted stock and restricted share units generally vest ratably over

one

to three years based on continuous service. Lionsgate satisfies stock option exercises and vesting of restricted stock and restricted share units with newly issued shares.

The measurement of all share-based awards uses a fair value method and the recognition of the related share-based compensation expense in the combined financial statements is recorded over the requisite service period. Further, Lionsgate estimates forfeitures for share-based awards that are not expected to vest. As share-based compensation expense allocated to the Company and recognized in the Company’s combined financial statements is based on awards ultimately expected to vest, it has been reduced for estimated forfeitures.

Share-Based Compensation Expense.

The Company recognized the following share-based compensation expense during the years ended March 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022:


	Year Ended March 31,
	2024			2023			2022

Stock Options

The following table sets forth the stock option, and share appreciation rights (“SARs”) activity on grants related directly to the Company employees and Lionsgate corporate and shared service employees during the year ended March 31, 2024:


	Stock Options and SARs
	Existing Class A Common Stock									Existing Class B Common Stock
	Number of Shares			Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value (2)		Number of Shares			Weighted- Average Exercise Price		Weighted- Average Remaining Contractual Term (years)		Aggregate Intrinsic Value (2)
	(Amounts in millions, except for weighted-average exercise price and years)

Exercisable at March 31, 2024		2.4		$	22.96		2.51	$	0.1		16.4		$	14.16		4.96	$	5.6

(1)	Represents less than 0.1 million shares.

(2)	The intrinsic value is calculated for each in the money stock option and SAR as the difference between the closing price of Lionsgate’s common stock on March 31, 2024 and the exercise price.

The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using a closed-form option valuation model (Black-Scholes). The following table presents the weighted average grant-date fair value of options granted in the years ended March 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, and the weighted average applicable assumptions used in the Black-Scholes option-pricing model for stock options and share-appreciation rights granted during the years then ended:


	Year Ended March 31,
	2024	2023	2022
Weighted average fair value of grants	$4.63	$4.56	$6.16
Weighted average assumptions:
Risk-free interest rate (1)	4.3% - 4.5%	2.8% - 3.7%	1.1% - 2.45%
Expected option lives (in years) (2)	3.3 -7 years	3.5 -7 years	3.3 -7 years
Expected volatility for options (3)	46% -47%	44%	42% -44%
Expected dividend yield (4)	0%	0%	0%

(1)	The risk-free rate assumed in valuing the options is based on the U.S. Treasury Yield curve in effect applied against the expected term of the option at the time of the grant.

(2)	The expected term of options granted represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding.

(3)	Expected volatilities are based on implied volatilities from traded options on Lionsgate’s shares, historical volatility of Lionsgate’s shares and other factors.

(4)	The expected dividend yield is estimated by dividing the expected annual dividend by the market price of Lionsgate’s shares at the date of grant.

The total intrinsic value (based on Lionsgate’s share price) of options exercised during the year ended March 31, 2024 was $0.2 million (2023 — $1.1 million, 2022 — $2.1 million ).

During the year ended March

2024

, less than

0.1

million shares

(2023

and

2022

— less than

0.1

million shares) were cancelled to fund withholding tax obligations upon exercise of options.

Restricted Share U

nits

The following table sets forth the restricted share unit and restricted stock activity on grants related directly to Company employees and Lionsgate corporate and shared service employees during the year ended March 31, 2024:


	Restricted Share Units and Restricted Stock
	Existing Class A Common Stock			Weighted- Average Grant- Date Fair Value		Existing Class B Common Stock			Weighted- Average Grant- Date Fair Value
	(Amounts in millions, except for weighted-average grant date fair value)
Outstanding at March 31, 2023		—	(1)	$	10.95		10.8		$	9.90
Granted		0.1		$	8.87		6.3		$	8.22
Vested		—	(1)	$	10.89		(7.0	)	$	9.37
Forfeited		—		$	—		(0.3	)	$	8.64

Outstanding at March 31, 2024		0.1		$	9.27		9.8		$	8.93

(1)	Represents less than 0.1 million shares.

The fair values of restricted share units and restricted stock are determined based on the market value of the shares on the date of grant. The total fair value of restricted share units and restricted stock vested during the year ended March 31, 2024 was $67.5 million (2023—$40.0 million, 2022—$51.0 million).

The following table summarizes the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost as of March

, 2024 related to

non-vested

stock options and restricted stock and restricted share units and the weighted average remaining years over which the cost will be recognized:


	Total Unrecognized Compensation Cost		Weighted Average Remaining Years
	(Amounts in millions)

Stock Options	$	2.3		1.5
Restricted Share Units and Restricted Stock		40.5		1.6

Total (1)	$	42.8

(1)	Represents remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to the Company’s employees and an allocation of compensation costs for Lionsgate corporate and shared service employees.

Under Lionsgate’s stock option and long term incentive plans, Lionsgate withholds shares to satisfy minimum statutory federal, state and local tax withholding obligations arising from the vesting of restricted share units and restricted stock. During the year ended March 31, 2024, 3.0 million shares (2023 — 1.5 million shares, 2022—1.8 m

illion

shares) were withheld upon the vesting of restricted share units and restricted stock.

Lionsgate, and hence the Company, becomes entitled to an income tax deduction in an amount equal to the taxable income reported by the holders of the stock options and restricted share units when vesting or exercise occurs, the restrictions are released and the shares are issued. Restricted share units are forfeited if the employees are terminated prior to vesting.

The Company recognized excess tax deficiencies of $7.4 million associated with its equity awards in its tax provision for the year ended March 31, 2024 (2023— benefits of $8.7 million, 2022 — deficiencies of $12.7 million).

Other Share-Based Compensation

Pursuant to the terms of certain employment agreements, during the year ended March 31, 2024, Lionsgate granted the equivalent of $2.3 million (2023—$2.3 million, 2022—$2.3 million) in shares to certain Company employees through the term of their employment contracts, which were recorded as compensation expense in the applicable period. Pursuant to this arrangement, for the year ended March 31, 2024, Lionsgate issued 0.2 million shares (2023—0.3 million shares, 2022-0.1 million shares), net of shares withheld to satisfy minimum tax withholding obligations.

Subsequent Events	NOTE 12-SUBSEQUENT EVENTS The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the consolidated balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, other than as noted below, the Company did not identify any subsequent events, that have occurred that would require adjustments to the disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. On April 9, 2024, the Company held the Extension Meeting at which the Company received approval to amend its Articles to, among other things, extend the date by which the Company must consummate a 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. 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 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 Class A Ordinary Shares at the extraordinary general meeting of the Company’s shareholders to be held to approve the Lionsgate Business Combination will receive only common shares of Pubco (“Pubco Common Shares”) in exchange for their Class A Ordinary Shares on a one-for-on e basis. On Apr il 11, 2024, the Company, Pubco and Lions Gate Parent entered into an additional Subscription Agreement (the “Additional Subscription Agreement” and together with the Initial Subscription Agreements, the “Subscription Agreements”), pursuant to which an additional PIPE Investor agreed to purchase from 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 the rein. 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 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 Lionsgate 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 the Company 0.0526 newly issued Class A Ordinary Shares, at a purchase price of $0.0001 per whole share, which shares will be issued by the Company prior to the SEAC Merger (the “NRA Additional Shares”). 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.		Note 12-Subsequent Events The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the consolidated balance sheet date up to the date that the financial statements were issued. Based upon this review, other than as noted below, the Company did not identify any subsequent events, that have occurred that would require adjustments to the disclosures in the financial statements. Citi ”) engagement as the Company’s financial advisor and placement agent in the private investments in public equities ( PIPE $ 26,250,000 deferred underwriting fee payable to it pursuant to the terms of that certain underwriting agreement, dated January 5, 2022 (the “ Underwriting Agreement ”), by and between the Company and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”) and Citi, as representatives of the underwriters, which deferred underwriting fee would have been due upon the closing of the Business Combination. 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 the Company’s public shareholders and certain other adjustments. In addition, on January 3, 2024, the Company received a letter from Goldman Sachs whereby Goldman Sachs waived its entitlement to any 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. On January 26, 2024, the Company 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 the Company’s liquidation. On the same day, the Company instructed the Trustee to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and move the funds to an interest-bearing demand deposit account, with Continental continuing to act as trustee. As a result, following the liquidation of investments in the Trust Account, the remaining proceeds from the initial pu bli c offering and the sale of the private placement warrants are no longer invested in U.S. government securities or money market funds.

Subsequent Event [Line Items]
Subsequent Events		21. Subsequent Events The Company has evaluated subsequent events through May 30, 2024, the date which the combined financial statements were issued. Lionsgate Senior Notes Exchange. On May 8, 2024, an indirect, wholly-owned subsidiary of Lionsgate issued $389.9 million aggregate principal amount of new 5.500% senior notes due 2029 (the “New 5.500% Senior Notes”). The New 5.500% Senior Notes were exchanged by Lionsgate for $389.9 million of the existing 5.500% Senior Notes. The New 5.500% Senior Notes initially bear interest at 5.500% annually and mature April 15, 2029, with the interest rate increasing to 6.000% and the maturity date extending to April 15, 2030 effective upon completion of the separation of the Starz Business from the Studio Business. Lionsgate may redeem the New 5.500% Senior Notes, in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, prior to or on and after the Separation Closing Date, as defined in the indenture to the New 5.500% Senior Notes, at certain specified redemption prices set forth in the indenture to the New 5.500% Senior Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the redemption date. The Studio Business remains a guarantor under the New 5.500% Senior Notes indenture agreement. Upon completion of the separation of the Starz Business from the Studio Business, the New 5.500% Senior Notes will become obligations of the Studio Business and will be reflected in the Studio Business’s combined financial statements. Business Combination Agreement. On May 13, 2024, Lionsgate consummated the Business Combination referred to in Note 2. In connection with the closing of the Business Combination, SEAC II Corp. changed its name to “Lionsgate Studios Corp.” (referred to as “Lionsgate Studios”). Lionsgate Studios continued the existing business operations of the Company. Lionsgate Studios became a separate publicly traded company and its common shares commenced trading on Nasdaq under the symbol “LION” on May 14, 2024. In connection with the Business Combination, Lionsgate and StudioCo entered into a separation agreement pursuant to which (i) the assets and liabilities of the Lionsgate’s Studio Business (including certain subsidiaries of the Lionsgate engaged in the Studio Business) were separated from the assets and liabilities of Lionsgate’s Starz Business (meaning substantially all of the assets and liabilities constituting the Media Networks segment of Lionsgate, and including certain subsidiaries of Lionsgate engaged in Lionsgate’s Starz Business) and transferred to StudioCo such that StudioCo holds, directly or indirectly, all of the assets and liabilities of the Studio Business, and (ii) all of Lionsgate’s equity interests in StudioCo were transferred to Studio HoldCo. As a result, approximately 87.2% of the total shares of Lionsgate Studios continue to be held by Lionsgate, while former SEAC public shareholders and founders and common equity financing investors own approximately 12.8% of Lionsgate Studios. In addition to establishing the Studio Business as a standalone publicly-traded entity, the transaction resulted in approximately $350.0 million of gross proceeds to Lionsgate, including $274.3 million in private investments in public equities (“PIPE”) financing. Of the total gross proceeds, approximately $330.0 million was received at or shortly after the closing of the Business Combination, with the remaining $20.0 million expected to be received shortly. The net proceeds will be used to pay down amounts outstanding under the Term Loan A and Term Loan B pursuant to the Credit Agreement. The Business Combination will be accounted for as a reverse recapitalization in accordance with U.S. GAAP. Under this method of accounting, Screaming Eagle 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 Screaming Eagle, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Screaming Eagle 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. The Studio Business will continue to be a consolidated subsidiary of Lionsgate. See Note 2.

The above table does not include estimates of variable consideration for transactions involving sales or usage-based royalties in exchange for licenses of intellectual property. The revenues included in the above table include all fixed fee contracts regardless of duration.

Revenues of $290.6 million, including variable and fixed fee arrangements, were recognized during the year ended March 31, 2024 from performance obligations satisfied prior to March 31, 2023. These revenues were primarily associated with the distribution of television and theatrical product in electronic sell-through and

video-on-demand

formats, and to a lesser extent, the distribution of theatrical product in the domestic and international markets related to films initially released in prior periods.

Accounts Receivable, Contract Assets and Deferred Revenue

The timing of revenue recognition, billings and cash collections affects the recognition of accounts receivable, contract assets and deferred revenue (see Note 1). See the combined balance sheets or Note 19 for accounts receivable, contract assets and deferred revenue balances at March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Accounts Receivable.

Accounts receivable are presented net of a provision for doubtful accounts. The Company estimates provisions for accounts receivable based on historical experience for the respective risk categories and current and future expected economic conditions. To assess collectability, the Company analyzes market trends, economic conditions, the aging of receivables and customer specific risks, and records a provision for estimated credit losses expected over the lifetime of the receivables in direct operating expense.

The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations and monitors its credit exposure through active review of customers’ financial condition, aging of receivable balances, historical collection trends, and expectations about relevant future events that may significantly affect collectability. The Company generally does not require collateral for its trade accounts receivable.

Changes in the provision for doubtful accounts consisted of the following:


	March 31, 2023		(Benefit) provision for doubtful accounts			Other (1)		Uncollectible accounts written-off (2)			March 31, 2024
	(Amounts in millions)

Trade accounts receivable	$	8.7	$	(0.3	)	$	1.3	$	(3.3	)	$	6.4

(1)	Represents the provision for doubtful accounts acquired in the acquisition of eOne (see Note 2).

(2)	Represents primarily accounts receivable previously reserved for bad debt from customers in Russia, related to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine.

Contract Assets.

Contract assets relate to the Company’s conditional right to consideration for completed performance under the contract (e.g., unbilled receivables). Amounts relate primarily to contractual payment

holdbacks in cases in which the Company is required to deliver additional episodes or seasons of television content in order to receive payment, complete certain administrative activities, such as guild filings, or allow the Company’s customers’ audit rights to expire. See Note 19 for further details of contract assets at March 31, 2024 and 2023.

Deferred Revenue.

Deferred revenue relates primarily to customer cash advances or deposits received prior to when the Company satisfies the corresponding performance obligation. At March 31, 2024, the current portion of deferred revenue includes $65.6 million from the acquisition of eOne (see Note 2). Revenues of $113.1 million were recognized during the year ended March 31, 2024, related to the balance of deferred revenue at March 31, 2023.

Line items represent financial concepts included in a table. These concepts are used to disclose reportable information associated with domain members defined in one or many axes to the table.

The entire disclosure of revenue from contract with customer to transfer good or service and to transfer nonfinancial asset. Includes, but is not limited to, disaggregation of revenue, credit loss recognized from contract with customer, judgment and change in judgment related to contract with customer, and asset recognized from cost incurred to obtain or fulfill contract with customer. Excludes insurance and lease contracts.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Organization and Plan of Business Operations	NOTE 1-ORGANIZATION AND PLAN OF BUSINESS OPERATIONS Screaming Eagle Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on November 3, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (“Business Combination”). Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of completing a Business Combination, the Company intends to capitalize on the ability of its management team to identify and combine with a business or businesses that can benefit from its management team’s established global relationships and operating experience. The Company is an early stage company, and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with early stage companies. As of March 31, 2024, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from November 3, 2021 (inception) through March 31, 2024 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“Initial Public Offering”), which is described below and activities related to pursuing merger opportunities. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income on the proceeds derived from the Initial Public Offering. The registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering was declared effective on January 5, 2022. On January 10, 2022, the Company consummated its Initial Public Offering of 75,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A Ordinary Shares” or “Public Shares”), and one-third of one redeemable warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A Ordinary Share for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $750,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the Initial Public Offering, the Company consummated the sale of 11,733,333 warrants (the “private placement warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per private placement warrant to the Eagle Equity Partners V, LLC (the “Sponsor”), generating gross proceeds of $17,600,000 (the “Private Placement”), which is described in Note 4. Transaction costs amounted to $42,130,216, consisting of $15,000,000 of underwriting fees, $26,250,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $880,216 of other offering costs. Following the closing of the Initial Public Offering and the Private Placement, $ 750,000,000 ($ 10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the Initial Public Offering and certain proceeds from the sale of the private placement warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”). The proceeds held in the Trust Account 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 of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations. On January 26, 2024, the Company amended the trust agreement governing the Trust Account 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 the Company’s liquidation. On the same day, the Company instructed the Trustee to liquidate the investments held in the Trust Account and move the funds to an interest-bearing demand deposit account, with Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company continuing to act as trustee. As a result, following the liquidation of investments in the Trust Account, the remaining proceeds from the initial public offering and the sale of the private placement warrants are no longer invested in U.S. government securities or money market funds. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the Initial Public Offering and the sale of the private placement warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward completing a Business Combination. The Company must complete one or more Business Combinations with having an aggregate fair market value equal to at least 80% of the net assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. The Company will provide its shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) without a shareholder vote by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company. The shareholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount held in the Trust Account (which, as of March 31, 2024, was approximately $ 10.72 per share), calculated as of two business days prior to the completion of a Business Combination, including any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to fund its working capital requirements (subject to an aggregate limit of $ 3,000,000 ) and to pay its tax obligations. There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants. The Class A Ordinary Shares will be recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” If the Company seeks shareholder approval, the Company will complete a Business Combination only if it receives an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law approving a Business Combination, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the Company’s ordinary shares which are represented in person or by proxy and are voted at a general meeting of the Company. If a shareholder vote is not required under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Articles (as defined below), conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased in or after the Initial Public Offering in favor of approving a Business Combination and to waive its redemption rights with respect to any such shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a Business Combination. Additionally, each public shareholder may elect to redeem its Public Shares, without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against a proposed Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Articles provide that a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior written consent. The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Articles (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100 % of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Completion Window (as defined below) or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless the Company provides the public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment and (iii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination. Under the Articles, the Company has until June 15, 2024, to close its initial Business Combination (the “Completion Window”). If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Completion Window, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to fund its working capital requirements (such withdrawals to be subject to an aggregate limit of $3,000,000) (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have agreed to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Completion Window. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the Initial Public Offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Completion Window. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 7) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Completion Window and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the Initial Public Offering price per Unit ($10.00). The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company, if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or by a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (1) $ 10.00 per Public Share and (2) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $ 10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of trust assets, less taxes payable. This liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the Initial Public Offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. Subsidiaries In connection with the Lionsgate Business Combination (as defined below) with Lions Gate Entertainment Corp., a British Columbia company (“Lions Gate Parent”), the Company formed SEAC II Corp. (“New SEAC”), a Cayman Islands exempted company and 1455941 B.C. Unlimited Liability Company (“New BC Sub”), a British Columbia unlimited liability company, both of which are direct, wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company. In addition, the Company formed SEAC MergerCo (“MergerCo”) a Cayman Islands exempted company and a direct, wholly owned subsidiary of New SEAC. New SEAC, New BC Sub, and MergerCo did not have any activity as of March 31, 2024, and they have not engaged in any operations or generated operating revenues to date. Business Combination with LG Orion Holdings ULC On December 22, 2023, the Company, New SEAC, Lions Gate Parent, 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”), 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 (as amended on April 11, 2024 and as may be amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time, the “Business Combination Agreement”) and the plan of arrangement (the “Plan of Arrangement”), (i) SEAC will merge 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 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 Cayman Islands Companies Act (as revised) (the “Companies Act”) and the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (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) 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 will amalgamate (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 will amalgamate (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 will amalgamate (the “StudioCo Amalgamation” and together with the MergerCo Amalgamation and the SEAC Amalgamation, the “Amalgamations”) to form one corporate entity (“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. The transaction 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 “Lionsgate Business Combination.” Extension On April 9, 2024, the Company held an extraordinary general meeting of its shareholders (the “Extension Meeting”), at which the Company received approval to amend its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (as amended, the “Articles”) to, among other things, extend the date by which the Company must consummate a 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. Liquidity and Going Concern As of March 31, 2024, the Company had an unrestricted cash balance of $ 437,163 , cash held in the Trust Account of $ 804,228,813 and a working capital deficiency of $ 25,342,177 . The Company’s liquidity needs had been satisfied prior to the completion of the Initial Public Offering through receipt of a $ 25,000 capital contribution from the Sponsor in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares and a $ 300,000 loan from the Sponsor, which was paid in full on January 11, 2022. The Company’s working capital needs have been satisfied through the funds held outside of the Trust Account from the Initial Public Offering. In addition, the Company withdrew interest earned on Trust Account to fund the Company’s working capital requirements (subject to an aggregate maximum release of $ 3,000,000 , which was reached as of December 31, 2023). The Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required. Up to $ 1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-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. While the Company had a working capital deficiency of $ 25,342,177 as of March 31, 2024, most of its current liabilities are not expected to be repaid from current assets. For example, $ 19,399,127 of the total current liabilities is related to the private investments in public equities (“PIPE”) with reduction right liability (as defined below), which is a non-cash item and is not expected to be repaid from current assets. Of the remaining $ 6,458,295 in accounts payable and accrued expenses, $ 5,983,947 is related to accrued legal expenses that are payable at the closing of the Lionsgate Business Combination and are not expected to be repaid from current assets. The Company is a Special Purpose Acquisition Corporation with a Completion Window of June 15, 2024. Although the Company plans to complete the transaction before the Completion Window, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate a business combination by June 15, 2024. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with 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,” management has determined that if the Company is unable to complete a 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 the Company will operate as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after June 15, 2024. Management plans to consummate a Business Combination prior to June 15, 2024; however, there can be no assurance that one will be completed.	Note 1-Organization and Plan of Business Operations Screaming Eagle Acquisition Corp. (the “Company”) is a blank check company incorporated as a Cayman Islands exempted company on November 3, 2021. The Company was formed for the purpose of effecting a merger, share exchange, asset acquisition, share purchase, reorganization or similar business combination with one or more businesses (“Business Combination”). Although the Company is not limited to a particular industry or geographic region for purposes of completing a Business Combination, the Company intends to capitalize on the ability of its management team to identify and combine with a business or businesses that can benefit from its management team’s established global relationships and operating experience. The Company is an early stage company and, as such, the Company is subject to all of the risks associated with an early stage company. As of December 31, 2023, the Company had not commenced any operations. All activity for the period from November 3, 2021 (inception) through December 31, 2023 relates to the Company’s formation and the initial public offering (“initial public offering”), which is described below, and activities related to pursuing initial business combination opportunities. The Company will not generate any operating revenues until after the completion of a Business Combination, at the earliest. The Company generates non-operating income in the form of interest income on the proceeds derived from the initial public offering. The registration statement for the Company’s initial public offering was declared effective on January 5, 2022. On January 10, 2022, the Company consummated its initial public offering of 75,000,000 units (the “Units”). Each Unit consists of one Class A ordinary share of the Company, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Class A ordinary shares”), and one-third of one redeemable warrant of the Company (each whole warrant, a “Warrant”), with each Warrant entitling the holder thereof to purchase one Class A ordinary share for $11.50 per share, subject to adjustment. The Units were sold at a price of $10.00 per Unit, generating gross proceeds to the Company of $750,000,000. Simultaneously with the closing of the initial public offering, the Company consummated the sale of 11,733,333 warrants (the “private placement warrants”) at a price of $1.50 per private placement warrant to the Company’s Sponsor, generating gross proceeds of $17,600,000, (the “Private Placement”), which is described in Note 4. Transaction costs amounted to $42,130,216, consisting of $15,000,000 of underwriting fees, $26,250,000 of deferred underwriting fees and $880,216 of other offering costs. Following the closing of the initial public offering and the Private Placement, $750,000,000 ($10.00 per Unit) from the net proceeds of the sale of the Units in the initial public offering and certain proceeds from the sale of the private placement warrants was placed in a trust account (the “Trust Account”). The proceeds held in the Trust Account 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 of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”), which invest only in direct U.S. government treasury obligations, until January 2024, when the trustee liquidated such investments and moved the proceeds to an interest-bearing demand deposit account. Such assets will be held in the manner as determined by the Company, until the earlier of (i) the completion of a Business Combination and (ii) the distribution of the funds in the Trust Account to the Company’s shareholders, as described below. The Company’s management has broad discretion with respect to the specific application of the net proceeds of the initial public offering and the sale of the private placement warrants, although substantially all of the net proceeds are intended to be applied generally toward completing a Business Combination. The Company must complete one or more Business Combinations with having an aggregate fair market value equal to at least 80 % of the net assets held in the Trust Account (as defined below) (excluding the deferred underwriting commissions and taxes payable on the income earned on the Trust Account) at the time of the agreement to enter into the initial Business Combination. The Company will only complete a Business Combination if the post-Business Combination company owns or acquires 50% or more of the issued and outstanding voting securities of the target or otherwise acquires a controlling interest in the target business sufficient for it not to be required to register as an investment company under the Investment Company Act. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully effect a Business Combination. The Company will provide its shareholders with the opportunity to redeem all or a portion of their Public Shares upon the completion of a Business Combination either (i) in connection with a general meeting called to approve the Business Combination or (ii) without a shareholder vote by means of a tender offer. The decision as to whether the Company will seek shareholder approval of a Business Combination or conduct a tender offer will be made by the Company. The shareholders will be entitled to redeem their shares for a pro rata portion of the amount held in the Trust Account (which, as of December 31, 2023, was approximately $10.60 per share), calculated as of two business days prior to the completion of Business Combination, including any pro rata interest earned on the funds held in the Trust Account and not previously released to the Company to fund its working capital requirements (subject to an aggregate limit of $ 3,000,000) and to pay its tax obligations. There will be no redemption rights upon the completion of a Business Combination with respect to the Company’s warrants. The Class A ordinary shares will be recorded at redemption value and classified as temporary equity upon the completion of the initial public offering, in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” If the Company seeks shareholder approval, the Company will complete a Business Combination only if it receives an ordinary resolution under Cayman Islands law approving a Business Combination, which requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the Company’s ordinary shares which are represented in person or by proxy and are voted at a general meeting of the Company. If a shareholder vote is not required under applicable law or stock exchange listing requirements and the Company does not decide to hold a shareholder vote for business or other reasons, the Company will, pursuant to its Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, conduct the redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and file tender offer documents containing substantially the same information as would be included in a proxy statement with the SEC prior to completing a Business Combination. If the Company seeks shareholder approval in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor has agreed to vote its Founder Shares (as defined in Note 5) and any Public Shares purchased in or after the initial public offering in favor of approving a Business Combination and to waive its redemption rights with respect to any such shares in connection with a shareholder vote to approve a Business Combination. However, in no event will the Company redeem its Public Shares in an amount that would cause its net tangible assets to be less than $ 5,000,001. In such case, the Company would not proceed with the redemption of its Public Shares and the related Business Combination, and instead may search for an alternate Business Combination. Additionally, each public shareholder may elect to redeem its Public Shares, without voting, and if they do vote, irrespective of whether they vote for or against a proposed Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company seeks shareholder approval of a Business Combination and it does not conduct redemptions pursuant to the tender offer rules, the Company’s Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association provides that a public shareholder, together with any affiliate of such shareholder or any other person with whom such shareholder is acting in concert or as a “group” (as defined under Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)), will be restricted from redeeming its shares with respect to more than an aggregate of 20% of the Public Shares without the Company’s prior written consent. The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have agreed (a) to waive its redemption rights with respect to any Founder Shares and Public Shares held by it in connection with the completion of a Business Combination and (b) not to propose an amendment to the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association (i) to modify the substance or timing of the Company’s obligation to redeem 100% of the Public Shares if the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Completion Window (as defined below) or (ii) with respect to any other provision relating to shareholders’ rights or pre-initial business combination activity, unless the Company provides the public shareholders with the opportunity to redeem their Public Shares in conjunction with any such amendment and (iii) to waive its rights to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination. Under the Amended and Restated Memorandum and Articles of Association, the Company has 27 months from the closing of the initial public offering, or until April 10, 2024, to close its initial Business Combination because it executed a definitive agreement for its initial Business Combination within 24 months from the closing of the initial public offering (the “Completion Window”). If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Completion Window and does not further extend such date with the approval of its shareholders, the Company will (i) cease all operations except for the purpose of winding up, (ii) as promptly as reasonably possible but no more than 10 business days thereafter, redeem 100% of the outstanding Public Shares, at a per-share price, payable in cash, equal to the aggregate amount then on deposit in the Trust Account, including interest earned (less taxes payable and up to $100,000 of interest to pay dissolution expenses), divided by the number of then outstanding Public Shares, which redemption will completely extinguish public shareholders’ rights as shareholders (including the right to receive further liquidation distributions, if any), and (iii) as promptly as reasonably possible following such redemption, subject to the approval of the remaining shareholders and the Company’s board of directors, liquidate and dissolve, subject in each case to its obligations under Cayman Islands law to provide for claims of creditors and the requirements of other applicable law. The Sponsor and the Company’s officers and directors have agreed to waive its liquidation rights with respect to the Founder Shares if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Completion Window. However, if the Sponsor acquires Public Shares in or after the initial public offering, such Public Shares will be entitled to liquidating distributions from the Trust Account if the Company fails to complete a Business Combination within the Completion Window. The underwriters have agreed to waive their rights to their deferred underwriting commission (see Note 7) held in the Trust Account in the event the Company does not complete a Business Combination within the Completion Window and, in such event, such amounts will be included with the funds held in the Trust Account that will be available to fund the redemption of the Public Shares. In the event of such distribution, it is possible that the per share value of the assets remaining available for distribution will be less than the initial public offering price per Unit ($10.00). The Sponsor has agreed that it will be liable to the Company, if and to the extent any claims by a third party for services rendered or products sold to the Company, or by a prospective target business with which the Company has entered into a written letter of intent, confidentiality or other similar agreement or business combination agreement, reduce the amount of funds in the Trust Account to below the lesser of (1) $10.00 per Public Share and (2) the actual amount per Public Share held in the Trust Account as of the date of the liquidation of the Trust Account, if less than $10.00 per Public Share due to reductions in the value of trust assets, less taxes payable. This liability will not apply to any claims by a third party or prospective target business who executed a waiver of any and all rights to the monies held in the Trust Account nor will it apply to any claims under the Company’s indemnity of the underwriters of the initial public offering against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Moreover, in the event that an executed waiver is deemed to be unenforceable against a third party, the Sponsor will not be responsible to the extent of any liability for such third-party claims. The Company will seek to reduce the possibility that the Sponsor will have to indemnify the Trust Account due to claims of creditors by endeavoring to have all vendors, service providers (other than the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm), prospective target businesses or other entities with which the Company does business, execute agreements with the Company waiving any right, title, interest or claim of any kind in or to monies held in the Trust Account. Subsidiaries In connection with the Business Combination with LG Orion Holdings ULC (“Lions Gate”), the Company formed SEAC II Corp. (“New SEAC”), a Cayman Islands exempted company and 1455941 B.C. Unlimited Liability Company (“New BC Sub”), a British Columbia unlimited liability company, both of which are direct, wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company. In addition, the Company formed SEAC MergerCo (“MergerCo”) a Cayman Islands exempted company and a direct, wholly-owned subsidiary of New SEAC. New SEAC, New BC Sub, and MergerCo did not have any activity as of December 31, 2023 and they have not engaged in any operations or generated operating revenues to date. Business Combination with LG Orion Holdings ULC On December 22, 2023, the Company, 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, (i) the Company 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. For more information, please see the Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC by the Company on December 22, 2023, and the Registration Statement on Form S-4 filed with the SEC by New SEAC on January 5, 2024, as amended by Amendment No. 1 filed with the SEC by New SEAC on February 9, 2024. Liquidity, capital resources, and going concern As of December 31, 2023, the Company had an unrestricted cash balance of $999,152, cash and investments held in the Trust Account of $794,750,266 and a working capital deficiency of $20,949,357. The Company’s liquidity needs had been satisfied prior to the completion of the initial public offering through receipt of a $25,000 capital contribution from the Sponsor in exchange for the issuance of the Founder Shares and a $300,000 loan from the Sponsor, which was paid in full on January 11, 2022. The Company’s working capital needs will be satisfied through the funds held outside of the Trust Account, from the Public Offering. In addition, the Company withdrew interest earned on the Trust Account to fund the Company’s working capital requirements (subject to an aggregate maximum release of $3,000,000 , which has been reached as of December 31, 2023). The Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required. Up to $1,500,000 of such loans may be convertible into warrants of the post-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. While the Company had a working capital deficiency of $ 20,949,357 as of December 31, 2023, most of its current liabilities are not expected to be repaid from current assets. For example, $18,253,010 of the total current liabilities is related to the PIPE with reduction right liability, which is a non-cash item and is not expected to be repaid from current assets. Of the remaining $ 3,695,499 in accounts payable and accrued expenses, $ 3,576,713 is related to accrued legal expenses that are payable at the closing of the Business Combination and are not expected to be repaid from current assets. The Company is a Special Purpose Acquisition Corporation with a scheduled liquidation date of April 10, 2024. Although the Company plans to complete the transaction before the scheduled liquidation date, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to consummate a business combination by April 10, 2024. In connection with the Company’s assessment of going concern considerations in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board’s Accounting Standards Update (“AS U ”) 2014-15, “Disclosures of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern,” management has determined that if the Company is unable to complete a 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 the Company will operate as a going concern. No adjustments have been made to the carrying amounts of assets or liabilities should the Company be required to liquidate after April 10, 2024. Management plans to consummate a Business Combination prior to April 10, 2024, however there can be no assurance that one will be completed.

April 6, 2026. The outstanding amounts may become due on December 23, 2024 (i.e., 91 days prior to March 24, 2025) prior to its maturity on April 6, 2026 in the event that the aggregate principal amount of outstanding Term Loan B in excess of $250 million has not been repaid, refinanced or extended to have a maturity date on or after July 6, 2026.

Security.

The Senior Credit Facilities are guaranteed by the guarantors named in the Credit Agreement (including entities of Lionsgate that are not part of the Company) and are secured by a security interest in substantially all of the assets of Lionsgate and the Guarantors (as defined in the Credit Agreement), subject to certain exceptions.

Covenants.

The Senior Credit Facilities contain representations and warranties, events of default and affirmative and negative covenants that are customary for similar financings and which include, among other things and subject to certain significant exceptions, restrictions on the ability to declare or pay dividends, create liens, incur additional indebtedness, make investments, dispose of assets and merge or consolidate with any other person. In addition, a net first lien leverage maintenance covenant and an interest coverage ratio maintenance covenant apply to the Revolving Credit Facility and the Term Loan A and are tested quarterly. These covenants and ratios are applicable to and computed for the applicable entities pursuant to the agreement which includes Lionsgate subsidiaries which are not part of the Company. As of March 31, 2024, Lionsgate was in compliance with all applicable covenants.

Change in Control.

The Company may also be subject to an event of default upon a change of control (as defined in the Credit Agreement) which, among other things, includes a person or group acquiring ownership or control in excess of 50% of existing Lionsgate common stock.

Lionsgate Senior Notes

As discussed in Note 1, the Senior Notes of Lionsgate are not reflected in the Studio Business combined financial statements. The Studio Business remains a guarantor under the Senior Notes indenture agreement. The

outstanding principal balance of the Senior Notes was $715.0 million and $800.0 million at March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, with a maturity date of April 15, 2029. The Studio Business guarantee would be applicable if an event of default were to occur by Lionsgate. As of March 31, 2024, Lionsgate was in compliance with all applicable covenants with respect to the Senior Notes and no events of default had occurred.

See Note 21 for the Lionsgate Senior Notes exchanged in May 2024.

Credit Agreement Amendment.

On April 6, 2021, the Company amended its Credit Agreement to, among other things, extend the maturity (the “Extension”) of a portion of its revolving credit commitments, amounting to $1.25 billion, and a portion of its outstanding term A loans, amounting to $444.9 million to April 6, 2026, and make certain other changes to the covenants and other provisions therein. After giving effect to the Extension, $250.0 million of the prior revolving credit commitments and $215.1 million of term A loans remained outstanding with a maturity of March 22, 2023. The revolving credit commitments due in March of 2023 were terminated in November 2021 and the term A loans due in March of 2023 were repaid in full in April 2022 (see Term Loan A Prepayment discussion above).

Accounting for the Credit Agreement Amendment in Fiscal 2022:

Revolving Credit Facility Credit Agreement Amendment on April 6, 2021.

•

Unamortized debt issuance costs:

Where the borrowing capacity (measured as the

amount

available under the revolving credit facility multiplied by the remaining term) was less than it was prior to the amendment measured on a

creditor-by-creditor

basis, the unamortized debt issuance costs were written off as a loss on extinguishment of debt in proportion to the decrease in borrowing capacity.

•

Fees paid to creditors and third-party costs:

All fees paid to creditors or third parties (i.e., new debt issuance costs) are being amortized over the term of the Revolving Credit Facility due in 2026.

Term Loan A Credit Agreement Amendment on April

6, 2021.

With respect to substantially all creditors participating in the Term Loan A, the amendment of the credit agreement was considered a modification of terms since the present value of the cash flows after the amendment differed by less than a 10% change from the present value of the cash flows on a

creditor-by-creditor

basis prior to the amendment. Where the cash flows differed by more than

on a creditor by creditor basis, that portion was considered a debt extinguishment. For new participating creditors, their portion of the debt was treated as new issuances to new creditors. Accordingly, the associated costs were accounted for as follows:

•

Unamortized debt issuance costs, third-party costs and fees paid to creditors:

To the extent the refinancing was considered a modification of terms, the unamortized debt issuance costs and fees paid to creditors were recorded as a reduction of the applicable debt outstanding, and are being amortized over the applicable term of the debt and the third-party costs were expensed as a loss on extinguishment of debt. To the extent the refinancing was considered an extinguishment, the unamortized debt issuance costs and fees paid to creditors were expensed as a loss on extinguishment of debt, and the third-party costs were recorded as a reduction of the applicable debt outstanding and are being amortized over the applicable term of the debt. To the extent there was a reduction of the outstanding balance on a

creditor-by-creditor

basis (i.e., a partial prepayment of debt), previously incurred unamortized debt issuance costs and fees were expensed as a loss on extinguishment of debt on the combined statement of operations.

For all of the above transactions, debt issuance costs recorded as a reduction of outstanding debt are amortized using the effective interest method.

The following table summarizes the accounting for the Credit Agreement Amendment on April 6, 2021, as described above:


	Year Ended March 31, 2022
	Loss on Extinguishment of Debt		Recorded as a Reduction of Outstanding Debt Balances & Amortized Over Life of New Issuances		Total
	(Amounts in millions)
Credit Agreement amendment (Revolving Credit Facility and Term Loan A):

Previously incurred debt issuance costs		1.1		18.4		19.5

	$	1.7	$	24.0	$	25.7

The entire disclosure for information about short-term and long-term debt arrangements, which includes amounts of borrowings under each line of credit, note payable, commercial paper issue, bonds indenture, debenture issue, own-share lending arrangements and any other contractual agreement to repay funds, and about the underlying arrangements, rationale for a classification as long-term, including repayment terms, interest rates, collateral provided, restrictions on use of assets and activities, whether or not in compliance with debt covenants, and other matters important to users of the financial statements, such as the effects of refinancing and noncompliance with debt covenants.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP. In the opinion of management, the unaudited consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments necessary for the fair statement of the balances and results for the periods presented. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected through December 31, 2024 or any future periods.

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Annual Report on Form

10-K

filed by the Company with the SEC on February 29, 2024.

Basis of presentation

The accompanying financial statements of the Company are presented in U.S. dollars in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period.

Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Two of the more significant accounting estimates included in these financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liability and PIPE with reduction right liability. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current in

Use of estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of expenses during the reporting period. Making estimates requires management to exercise significant judgment. It is at least reasonably possible that the estimate of the effect of a condition, situation or set of circumstances that existed at the date of the financial statements, which management considered in formulating its estimate, could change in the near term due to one or more future confirming events. Two of the more significant accounting estimates included in these financial statements is the determination of the fair value of the warrant liability and PIPE with reduction right liability. Such estimates may be subject to change as more current information becomes available and the actual results could differ significantly from those estimates.

Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. There were no cash equivalents as of March 31, 2024.

Cash equivalents

The Company considers all short-term investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents.

Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist of cash accounts in a financial institution, which, at times, may exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit of $250,000, and investments held in Trust Account. The Company has not experienced losses on these accounts.

Concentration of Credit Risk

Investments Held in Trust Account

The Company’s portfolio of investments was comprised solely of U.S. government securities, within the meaning set forth in Section 2(a)(16) of the Investment Company Act, with a maturity of 185 days or less, or investments in money market funds that invest in U.S. government securities, or a combination thereof until January 2024, when the trustee liquidated such investments and moved the proceeds to an interest-bearing demand deposit account. The Company classifies its U.S. Treasury and equivalent securities as held to maturity in accordance with ASC Topic 320, “Investments-Debt and Equity Securities.”

Held-to-maturity

securities are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity.

Held-to-maturity

treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts. Money market funds and demand deposits are presented at fair value at the end of each reporting period (see Note 11).

Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption

Class A Ordinary Shares Subject to Possible Redemption

The Company accounts for its Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption in accordance with the guidance in ASC Topic 480, “Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity.” Ordinary shares subject to mandatory redemption are classified as a liability instrument and are measured at fair value. Conditionally redeemable ordinary shares (including ordinary shares that feature redemption rights that are either within the control of the holder or subject to redemption upon the occurrence of uncertain events not solely within the Company’s control) are classified as temporary equity. At all other times, ordinary shares are classified as shareholders’ equity (deficit). The Company’s Class A Ordinary Shares feature certain redemption rights that are considered to be outside of the Company’s control and subject to occurrence of uncertain future events. Accordingly, at March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, Class A Ordinary Shares subject to possible redemption are presented at redemption value as temporary equity, outside of the shareholders’ deficit section of the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The Company recognizes changes in redemption value immediately as they occur and adjusts the carrying value of Class A Ordinary Shares to equal the redemption value at the end of each reporting period. Increases or decreases in the carrying amount of redeemable ordinary shares are affected by charges against additional

paid-in

capital and accumulated deficit.

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Class A Ordinary Shares reflected on the consolidated balance sheets are reconciled in the following table:

Derivative financial instruments

Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company accounts for derivative financial instruments in accordance with ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. For derivative financial instruments that are accounted for as liabilities, the derivative instrument is initially recorded at its fair value upon issuance and remeasured at each reporting date, with changes in the fair value reported in the unaudited consolidated statements of operations. The classification of derivative financial instruments is evaluated at the end of each reporting period.

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 to the private placement warrants will be reclassified to additional

paid-in

capital.

The Company accounts for the Subscription Agreements (as defined below) 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.

Derivative financial instruments

The Company does not use derivative instruments to hedge exposures to cash flow, market, or foreign currency risks. The Company evaluates all of its financial instruments, including issued stock purchase warrants, to determine if such instruments are derivatives or contain features that qualify as embedded derivatives, pursuant to ASC 480 and ASC Topic 815, “Derivatives and Hedging”. The classification of derivative instruments, including whether such instruments should be recorded as liabilities or as equity, is

re-assessed

at the end of each reporting period.

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 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 to the private placement warrants will be reclassified to additional

At that time, the PIPE with reduction right liability will be reclassified to additional paid-in capital.

Income taxes

Income Taxes

The Company accounts for income taxes under ASC 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”), which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. There were

unrecognized tax benefits and

amounts accrued for interest and penalties as of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023. The Company is currently not aware of any issues under review that could result in significant payments, accruals or material deviation from its position. The Company

has been

subject to income tax examinations by major taxing authorities since inception.

There is currently no taxation imposed on income by the government of the Cayman Islands. In accordance with Cayman income tax regulations, income taxes are not levied on the Company. Consequently, income taxes are not reflected in the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company’s management does not expect that the total amount of unrecognized tax benefits will materially change over the next twelve months.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of the Company’s assets and liabilities, which qualify as financial instruments under ASC Topic 820, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures,” approximates the carrying amounts represented in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, primarily due to their short-term nature, except for the warrant liability (see Note 11).

Fair value of financial instruments

short-term

nature, except for the warrant liability and PIPE with reduction right liability (see Notes 9, 10 and 11).

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability, in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to

unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

•

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

•

Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable such as quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active; and

•

Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions, such as valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

In some circumstances, the inputs used to measure fair value might be categorized within different levels of the fair value hierarchy. In those instances, the fair value measurement is categorized in its entirety in the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Net income per ordinary share

Net Income Per Ordinary Shares

The Company has two classes of shares, Class A Ordinary Shares and Class B Ordinary Shares. Income and losses are shared pro rata between the two classes of shares. The Company complies with accounting and disclosure requirements of ASC Topic 260, “Earnings Per Share”. Net income per share is computed by dividing

net income by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the period. Accretion associated with the redeemable shares of Class A Ordinary Shares is excluded from earnings per share as the redemption value approximates fair value.

The calculation of diluted income (loss) per share does not consider the effect of the warrants issued in connection with the (i) Initial Public Offering, and (ii) the private placement since the exercise of the warrants is contingent upon the occurrence of future events. The warrants are exercisable to purchase

in the aggregate.

For the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company did not have any dilutive securities or other contracts that could, potentially, be exercised or converted into ordinary shares and then share in the earnings of the Company. As a result, diluted net income per share of ordinary shares is the same as basic net income per shares of ordinary shares for the periods presented.

The following table reflects the calculation of basic and diluted net income per ordinary shares for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023:

[1]	Amounts in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024 include $12.8 million of development costs written off in connection with changes in strategy in the Television Production segment as a result of the acquisition of eOne. Amounts in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023 include an impairment of an operating lease right-of-use asset related to the Studio Business and corporate facilities amounting to $5.8 million associated with a portion of a facility lease that will no longer be utilized by the Company. The impairment reflects a decline in market conditions since the inception of the lease impacting potential sublease opportunities, and represents the difference between the estimated fair value, which was determined based on the expected discounted future cash flows of the lease asset, and the carrying value.
[2]	Severance costs in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 were primarily related to restructuring activities and other cost-saving initiatives. In fiscal 2024, amounts were due to restructuring activities including integration of the acquisition of eOne and our Motion Picture and Television Production segment.
[3]	Amounts in the fiscal years ended March 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 reflect transaction, integration and legal costs associated with certain strategic transactions, and restructuring activities and also include costs and benefits associated with legal and other matters. In fiscal 2024, these amounts include $49.2 million associated with the acquisition of additional interest in 3 Arts Entertainment. Due to the new arrangement representing a modification of terms of the compensation element under the previous arrangement which resulted in the reclassification of the equity award to a liability award, the Company recognized incremental compensation expense of $49.2 million, representing the excess of the fair value of the modified award over amounts previously expensed. See Note 11 for further information. In addition, transaction and other costs in fiscal 2024 includes approximately $16.6 million of a loss associated with a theft at a production of a 51% owned consolidated entity. The Company expects to recover a portion of this amount under its insurance coverage and from the noncontrolling interest holders of this entity. The remaining amounts in fiscal 2024 primarily represent acquisition and integration costs related to the acquisition of eOne, and costs associated with the separation of the Starz Business from the Studio Business.
[4]	Amounts represent certain unusual content charges. In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023, the amounts represent development costs written off as a result of changes in strategy across the Company’s theatrical slate in connection with certain management changes and changes in the theatrical marketplace in the Motion Picture segment. These charges are excluded from segment results and included in amortization of investment in film and television programs in direct operating expense on the combined statement of operations.
[5]	Amounts reflected in direct operating expense include incremental costs associated with the pausing and restarting of productions including paying/hiring certain cast and crew, maintaining idle facilities and equipment costs resulting from circumstances associated with the COVID-19 global pandemic, net of insurance recoveries of $1.0 million, $8.4 million and $15.6 million in fiscal 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. In fiscal years ended March 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, insurance recoveries exceeded the incremental costs expensed in the year, resulting in a net benefit included in direct operating expense. The Company is in the process of seeking additional insurance recovery for some of these costs. The ultimate amount of insurance recovery cannot be estimated at this time.
[6]	Amounts represent charges related to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, primarily related to bad debt reserves for accounts receivable from customers in Russia, included in direct operating expense in the combined statements of operations.

ACCOUNT

A total of $750,000,000, which includes $735,000,000 of the net proceeds from the Public Offering and $15,000,000 from the sale of the private placement warrants, has been placed in the Trust Account.

As of March 31, 2024, investment securities in the Company’s Trust Account consisted of $

804,228,813

in a demand deposit account. As of December 31, 2023, investment securities in the Company’s Trust Account consisted

of $

794,750,266

money market funds. The Company classifies its Treasury Instruments and equivalent securities as held to maturity in accordance with ASC 320, “Investments-Debt and Equity Securities”.

Held-to-maturity

securities are those securities which the Company has the ability and intent to hold until maturity.

Held-to-maturity

treasury securities are recorded at amortized cost on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and adjusted for the amortization or accretion of premiums or discounts.

In January 2022, the Company adopted the FASB-issued ASU

No. 2016-13,

“Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments,” which requires an entity to utilize a new impairment model known as the current expected credit loss (“CECL”) model to estimate its lifetime “expected credit loss” and record an allowance that, when deducted from the amortized cost basis of the financial asset, presents the net amount expected to be collected on the financial asset. The CECL model is to result in more timely recognition of credit losses. This guidance also requires new disclosures for financial assets measured at amortized costs, loans, and

available-for-sale

debt securities. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s operating results or financial position as the only securities to which this standard applies are the Treasury Bills, which the Company deemed to have no credit losses.

The following table presents fair value information as of December 31, 2023 and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques the Company utilized to determine such fair value. Since all of the Company’s permitted investments consist of a money market fund and a demand deposit account, fair values of its investments are determined by Level 1 inputs utilizing quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets as follows:


	Quoted Prices in Active Markets (Level 1)
Money market fund as of December 31, 2023	$	794,750,266

Transfers to/from Levels 1, 2, and 3 are recognized at the end of the reporting period. There were

transfers between levels for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

The Company uses inputs such as

actual tra

de data, benchmark yields, quoted market prices from dealers or brokers, and other similar sources to determine the fair value of its investments.

NOTE

9-WARRANTS

As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has

25,000,000

Public Warrants and

11,733,333

private placement warrants outstanding. The Public Warrants may only be exercised for a whole number of shares. No fractional warrants will be issued upon separation of the Units and only whole warrants will trade. The Public Warrants will become exercisable 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination. The Public Warrants will expire five years from the completion of a Business Combination, or earlier upon redemption or liquidation.

The Company will not be obligated to deliver any Class A Ordinary Shares pursuant to the exercise of a Public Warrant and will have no obligation to settle such Public Warrant exercise unless a registration statement under the Securities Act with respect to the Class A Ordinary Shares underlying the warrants is then effective and a prospectus relating thereto is current, subject to the Company satisfying its obligations with respect to registration. No warrant will be exercisable and the Company will not be obligated to issue a Class A Ordinary Share upon exercise of a warrant unless the Class A Ordinary Share issuable upon such warrant exercise has been registered, qualified or deemed to be exempt under the securities laws of the state of residence of the registered holder of the warrants.

The Company has agreed that as soon as practicable, but in no event later than

business days after the closing of a Business Combination, it will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a post-effective amendment to the registration statement for the Company’s Initial Public Offering or a new registration statement for the registration, under the Securities Act, of the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the same to become effective and to maintain the effectiveness of such registration statement, and a current prospectus relating thereto, until the expiration of the warrants in accordance with the provisions of the warrant agreement. If a registration statement covering the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the warrants is not effective by the 60th business day after the closing of a Business Combination, warrant holders may, until such time as there is an effective registration statement and during any period when the Company will have failed to maintain an effective registration statement, exercise warrants on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act or another exemption.

In addition, if the Class A Ordinary Shares are at the time of any exercise of a warrant not listed on a national securities exchange such that they satisfy the definition of a “covered security” under Section 18(b)(1) of the Securities Act, the Company may, at its option, require holders of the Public Warrants who exercise their warrants to do so on a “cashless basis” in accordance with Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act and, in the event the Company elects to do so, the Company will not be required to file or maintain in effect a registration statement, but it will use its best efforts to register or qualify the shares under applicable blue sky laws to the extent an exemption is not available.

Once the warrants b

ecome exercisable, the Company may redeem the outstanding Public Warrants:

(1)	in whole and not in part;

(2)	at a price of $0.01 per Public Warrant;

(3)	upon not less than 30 days’ prior written notice of redemption to each warrant holder; and

(4)

if, and only if, the reported closing price of the ordinary shares equals or exceeds $18.00 per share (as adjusted for share

sub-divisions,

share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within a

30-trading

day period ending three business days before the Company send to the notice of redemption to the warrant holders.

If and when the warrants become redeemable by the Company, the Company may exercise its redemption right even if it is unable to register or qualify the underlying securities for sale under all applicable state securities laws.

If the Company calls the Public Warrants for redemption, as described above, its management will have the option to require any holder that wishes to exercise the Public Warrants to do so on a “cashless basis,” as described in the warrant agreement. The exercise price and number of ordinary shares issuable upon exercise of the Public Warrants may be adjusted in certain circumstances including in the event of a share dividend, extraordinary dividend or recapitalization, reorganization, merger or consolidation. However, except as described below, the Public Warrants will not be adjusted for issuances of ordinary shares at a price below its exercise price. Additionally, in no event will the Company be required to net cash settle the Public Warrants. If the Company is unable to complete a Business Combination within the Completion Window and the Company liquidates the funds held in the Trust Account, holders of Public Warrants will not receive any of such funds with respect to their Public Warrants, nor will they receive any distribution from the Company’s assets held outside of the Trust Account with respect to such Public Warrants. Accordingly, the Public Warrants may expire worthless.

The private placement warrants will be identical to the public warrants underlying the Units being sold in the Initial Public Offering, except that (i) the private placement warrants will not be redeemable by the Company, (ii) the private placement warrants and the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the private placement warrants will not be transferable, assignable or salable until 30 days after the completion of a Business Combination, subject to certain limited exceptions, (iii) the private placement warrants will be exercisable on a cashless basis, (iv) will use a different Black-Scholes Warrant Model for purposes of calculating the Black-Scholes Warrant Value (as defined in the Warrant Agreement) and (v) the private placement warrants and the Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon exercise of the private placement warrants will be entitled to registration rights. If the private placement warrants are held by someone other than the initial purchasers or their permitted transferees, the private placement warrants will be redeemable by the Company and exercisable by such holders on the same basis as the Public Warrants.

Founder Shares

On November 5, 2021, the Sponsor paid an aggregate of $25,000 to cover certain offering and formation costs of the Company in consideration for 17,250,000 of the Company’s Class B Ordinary Shares (the “Founder Shares”). On December 13, 2021, the Company effected a share recapitalization with respect to the Class B Ordinary Shares whereby the Company issued one and

one-quarter

Class B Ordinary Shares in respect of each outstanding Class B Ordinary Share, resulting in the Sponsor owning 21,562,500 Founder Shares.

The Founder Shares included an aggregate of up to 2,812,500 shares subject to forfeiture by the Sponsor to the extent that the underwriters’ over- allotment is not exercised in full or in part, so that the number of Founder Shares will collectively represent 20% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares upon the completion of the Initial Public Offering. On February 19, 2022, 2,812,500 Founder Shares were forfeited because the underwriters did not exercise their over-allotment option, resulting in the Company’s Sponsor holding 18,750,000 Founder Shares.

The Sponsor has agreed, subject to limited exceptions, not to transfer, assign or sell any of its Founder Shares until the earlier to occur of (A) one year after the completion of a Business Combination; and (B) subsequent to a Business Combination, (x) if the closing price of the Class A Ordinary Shares equals or exceeds $12.00 per share (as adjusted for share

sub-divisions,

share capitalizations, reorganizations, recapitalizations and the like) for any 20 trading days within any

30-trading

day period, provided such release shall not occur earlier than 180 days after a Business Combination, or (y) the date on which the Company completes a liquidation, merger, amalgamation, share exchange, reorganization or other similar transaction that results in all of the Company’s shareholders having the right to exchange their Class A Ordinary Shares for cash, securities or other property.

Related Party Loans

In order to finance transaction costs in connection with a Business Combination, the Sponsor or an affiliate of the Sponsor, or certain of the Company’s officers and directors may, but are not obligated to, loan the Company funds as may be required (“Working Capital Loans”). Such Working Capital Loans would be evidenced by promissory notes. The notes may be repaid upon completion of a Business Combination, without interest. In the event that a Business Combination does not close, the Company may use a portion of proceeds held outside the Trust Account to repay the Working Capital Loans but no proceeds held in the Trust Account would be used to repay the Working Capital Loans. On May 7, 2024, the Company issued a promissory note to the Sponsor in connection with the Working Capital Loans with a principal amount of up to $2.0

Transactions with Lionsgate

As described in Note 1, Lionsgate utilizes a centralized approach to cash management. Cash generated by the Company or borrowed under certain debt obligations is managed by Lionsgate’s centralized treasury function and is routinely transferred to the Company or to the Starz Business to fund operating activities of the Studio Business and the Starz Business when needed.

Because of this centralized approach to cash management, financial transactions for cash movement and the settlement of payables and receivables when due with Lionsgate are generally accounted for through the parent net investment account. Parent net investment is presented in the combined statements of equity (deficit). Settlements of amounts payable and receivable when due through the parent net investment account are reflected as cash payments or receipts for the applicable operating transaction within operating activities in the combined statements of cash flows, with the net change in parent net investment included within financing activities in the combined statements of cash flows.

In the normal course of business, the Company enters into transactions with Lionsgate and the Starz Business which include the following, which unless otherwise indicated are settled through parent net investment at the time of the transaction:

Licensing of content to the Starz Business:

The Company licenses motion pictures and television programming (including Starz original productions) to the Starz Business. The license fees generally are due upon delivery or due at a point in time following the first showing. License fee amounts due are settled with the Starz Business through parent net investment. License fees receivable, not yet due from the Starz Business, are reflected in due from the Starz Business on the combined balance sheets. The consideration to which the Company is entitled under the license agreements with the Starz Business is included in revenue from contracts with customers and presented separately in the combined statement of operations (see Note 12).

Corporate expense allocations:

As previously described in Note 1, the accompanying combined financial statements include allocations of 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, accounting, tax, legal, human resources, occupancy, and other shared services. During the year ended March 31, 2024, corporate expense allocations, excluding amounts related to share-based compensation discussed below, amounted to $110.6 million (2023—$100.9 million, 2022—$80.0 million).

Operating expense reimbursement:

As previously described in Note 1, the Company pays certain expenses on behalf of the Starz Business such as certain rent expense, employee benefits, insurance and other administrative operating costs. The Starz Business also pays certain expenses on behalf of the Company such as legal expenses, software development costs and severance. These expenditures are reflected in the financial statements of the Studio Business and the Starz Business as applicable.

Share- based compensation:

Lionsgate provides share-based compensation related to the Studio Business employees and as part of its corporate expense allocations a proportionate amount of the share-based compensation related to those corporate functions is allocated to the Studio Business.

Monetization of certain accounts receivables:

The Company has entered into an agreement with Starz for Starz to transfer certain accounts receivables to the Company to participate in the Company’s pooled monetization arrangement. The Company purchases the transferred receivables at fair value and records them at the purchased amount on its balance sheet and classifies the purchase price paid in parent net investment (see Note 19). The accounts receivables purchased from the Starz Business have historically been pledged as collateral under this agreement. Any discount on the purchase of the receivable from the Starz Business is accreted to interest income over the period to collection of the accounts receivable. The accounts receivable purchased from the Starz Business and subsequent collections are reflected as investing activities in the combined statements of cash flows.

AND CONTINGENCIES

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, private placement warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans (and any Class A Ordinary Shares issuable upon the exercise of the private placement warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the Initial Public Offering requiring the Company to register a sale of any of the securities held by them, including any other securities of the Company acquired by them prior to the consummation of the Company’s initial Business Combination. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggyback” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination. The Company bears the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Risks and Uncertainties

individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication payment system. Certain countries, including the United States, have also provided and may continue to provide military aid or other assistance to Ukraine and to Israel, increasing geopolitical tensions among a number of nations. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict and the resulting measures that have been taken, and could be taken in the future, by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Israel and its neighboring states and other countries have created global security concerns that could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies. Although the length and impact of the ongoing conflicts are highly unpredictable, they could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions and increased cyberattacks against U.S. companies. Additionally, any resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets.

Any of the above mentioned factors, or any other negative impact on the global economy, capital markets or other geopolitical conditions resulting from the Russian invasion of Ukraine, the escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict and subsequent sanctions or related actions, could adversely affect the Company’s search for an initial business combination and any target business with which the Company may ultimately consummate an initial business combination.

option to purchase up to 11,250,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments at the Initial Public Offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On February 19, 2022, the option lapsed because the underwriters did not exercise their over-allotment option.

In addition, the underwriters

were

entitled to a deferred fee of $

0.35

per Unit, or $

26,250,000

in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

On January 3, 2024, in consideration of Citigroup Global Markets Inc.’s (“Citi”) engagement as the Company’s financial advisor and placement agent in the

PIPE

financing raised in connection with the Lionsgate Business Combination, and the fees it is expected to receive in connection with such roles, 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 terms of that certain underwriting agreement, dated January 5, 2022 (the “Underwriting Agreement”), by and between the Company and Goldman Sachs & Co. LLC (“Goldman Sachs”) and Citi, as representatives of the underwriters, which deferred underwriting fee would have been due upon the closing of the Lionsgate Business Combination. 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 exer

cised by the Company’s public shareholders and certain other adjustments.

Each of Citi and Morgan Stanley & Co. LLC (“Morgan Stanley”), are serving as co-placement agents in the PIPE and for such role will receive a fee equal to a specific percentage of the total funds raised in the PIPE. Morgan Stanley will also receive an incremental fee equal to a specific percentage of the amount remaining in the Trust Account at the closing of the Lionsgate Business Combination.

In addition, on January 3, 2024, the Company received a letter from 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’ deficit.

and Contingencies

Registration Rights

The holders of the Founder Shares, private placement warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of the Working Capital Loans (and any Class A ordinary shares issuable upon the exercise of the private placement warrants and warrants that may be issued upon conversion of Working Capital Loans and upon conversion of the Founder Shares) are entitled to registration rights pursuant to a registration rights agreement to be signed prior to or on the effective date of the initial public offering requiring the Company to register a sale of any of the securities held by them, including any other securities of the Company acquired by them prior to the consummation of the Company’s initial business combination. The holders of these securities are entitled to make up to three demands, excluding short form demands, that the Company register such securities. In addition, the holders have certain “piggy-back” registration rights with respect to registration statements filed subsequent to the completion of a Business Combination. The Company bears the expenses incurred in connection with the filing of any such registration statements.

Risks and Uncertainties

United States and global markets are experiencing volatility and disruption following the geopolitical instability resulting from the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict and the recent escalation of the Israel-Hamas conflict. In response to the ongoing Russia-Ukraine conflict, the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (“NATO”) deployed additional military forces to eastern Europe, and the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union and other countries have announced various sanctions and restrictive actions against Russia, Belarus and related individuals and entities, including the removal of certain financial institutions from the Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication (SWIFT) payment system. Certain countries, including the United States, have also provided and may continue to provide military aid or other assistance to Ukraine and to Israel, increasing geopolitical tensions among a number of nations. The invasion of Ukraine by Russia and the escalation of the Israel- Hamas conflict and the resulting measures that have been taken, and could be taken in the future, by NATO, the United States, the United Kingdom, the European Union, Israel and its neighboring states and other countries have created global security concerns that could have a lasting impact on regional and global economies. Although the length and impact of the ongoing conflicts are highly unpredictable, they could lead to market disruptions, including significant volatility in commodity prices, credit and capital markets, as well as supply chain interruptions and increased cyber-attacks against U.S. companies. Additionally, any resulting sanctions could adversely affect the global economy and financial markets and lead to instability and lack of liquidity in capital markets.

ld adversely affect the Company’s search for an initial busi

ss combination and any target business with which the Company may ultimately consummate an initial business combination.

Underwriting Agreement

The Company had granted the underwriters a

45-day

option to purchase up to 11,250,000 additional Units to cover over-allotments at the initial public offering price, less the underwriting discounts and commissions. On February 19, 2022, the option lapsed because the underwriters did not exercise their over-allotment option.

In addition, the underwriters are entitled to a deferred fee of $0.35 per Unit, or $26,250,000 in the aggregate. The deferred fee will become payable to the underwriters from the amounts held in the Trust Account solely in the event that the Company completes a Business Combination, subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement.

Subsequent to December 31, 2023, Goldman Sachs (as

defined below) waived its entitlement to any portion of the $

26,250,000

deferred fee payable to it and Citi (as defined below) agreed to make certain adjustments to its entitlement to a portion of the $26,250,000 deferred underwriting fee. See Note 11 for additional information.

(1)	Film related obligations commitments are not reflected on the combined balance sheets as they did not then meet the criteria for recognition and include the following items:

(i)

(ii)

Minimum guarantee commitments represent contractual commitments related to the purchase of film rights for pictures to be delivered in the future.

(iii)

(2)	Includes cash interest payments on the Company’s Senior Credit Facilities and film related obligations, based on the applicable SOFR interest rates at March 31, 2024, net of payments and receipts from the

Company’s interest rate swaps, and excluding the interest payments on the revolving credit facility as future amounts are not fixed or determinable due to fluctuating balances and interest rates.

(3)	Not included in the amounts above are $123.3 million of redeemable noncontrolling interest, as future amounts and timing are subject to a number of uncertainties such that the Company is unable to make sufficiently reliable estimations of future payments (see Note 11).

Multiemployer Benefit Plans.

The Company contributes to various multiemployer pension plans under the terms of collective bargaining agreements that cover its union-represented employees. The Company makes periodic contributions to these plans in accordance with the terms of applicable collective bargaining agreements and laws but does not sponsor or administer these plans. The risks of participating in these multiemployer pension plans are different from single-employer pension plans such that (i) contributions made by the Company to the multiemployer pension plans may be used to provide benefits to employees of other participating employers; (ii) if the Company chooses to stop participating in certain of these multiemployer pension plans, it may be required to pay those plans an amount based on the underfunded status of the plan, which is referred to as a withdrawal liability; and (iii) actions taken by a participating employer that lead to a deterioration of the financial health of a multiemployer pension plan may result in the unfunded obligations of the multiemployer pension plan to be borne by its remaining participating employers.

The Company does not participate in any multiemployer benefit plans that are considered to be individually significant to the Company, and as of March 31, 2024, all except two of the largest plans in which the Company participates were funded at a level of 80% or greater. The other two plans, the Motion Picture Industry Pension Plan and the Screen Actors Guild—Producers Pension Plan were funded at 71.20% and 79.06%, respectively, for the 2023 plan year, but neither of these plans were considered to be in endangered, critical, or critical and declining status in the 2023 plan year. Total contributions made by the Company to multiemployer pension and other benefit plans for the years ended March 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 were $58.0 million, $87.0 million and $90.4 million, respectively.

Contingencies

From time to time, the Company is involved in certain claims and legal proceedings arising in the normal course of business.

The Company establishes an accrued liability for claims and legal proceedings when the Company determines that a loss is both probable and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Once established, accruals are adjusted from time to time, as appropriate, in light of additional information. The amount of any loss ultimately incurred in relation to matters for which an accrual has been established may be higher or lower than the amounts accrued for such matters.

As of March 31, 2024, the Company is not a party to any material pending claims or legal proceeding and is not aware of any other claims that it believes could, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Insurance Litigation

During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, the Company settled with all of the insurers in its previous lawsuits related to insurance reimbursements associated with the previous Starz shareholder litigation settlement, which resulted in a net settlement amount received by the Company of $22.7 million in the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, which is included in the “interest and other income” line item on the combined statement of operations.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received for sale of an asset or paid for transfer of a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. GAAP establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. The hierarchy gives the highest priority to unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1 measurements) and the lowest priority to unobservable inputs (Level 3 measurements). These tiers include:

•

Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical instruments in active markets;

(1)	The repayment dates are based on the projected future amount of collateral available under these facilities. Net advances and payments under these facilities can fluctuate depending on the amount of collateral available.

(2)	Repayment dates are based on the projected future cash flows generated from the exploitation of the rights, subject to a minimum guaranteed payment amount, as applicable (see further information below).

Production Loans

Production loans represent individual and multi-title loans for the production of film and television programs that the Company produces. The majority of the Company’s production loans have contractual repayment dates either at or near the expected completion or release dates, with the exception of certain loans containing repayment dates on a longer term basis, and incur primarily SOFR-based interest at a weighted average rate of 6.96% (before the impact of interest rate swaps, see Note 18 for interest rate swaps). Production loans amounting to $1,028.9 million are secured by collateral which consists of the underlying rights related to the intellectual property (i.e. film or television show), and $263.3 million are unsecured.

Production Tax Credit Facility.

In January 2021, as amended in March 2024, the Company entered into a

non-recourse

senior secured revolving credit facility (the “Production Tax Credit Facility”) based on and secured by collateral consisting solely of certain of the Company’s tax credit receivables.

The maximum principal amount of the Production Tax Credit Facility is $260.0

million, su

ject to the amount of collateral available, which is based on specified percentages of amounts payable to the Company by governmental authorities pursuant to the tax incentive laws of certain eligible jurisdictions that arise from the

production or exploitation of motion pictures and television programming in such jurisdiction. Cash collections from the underlying collateral (tax credit receivables) are used to repay the Production Tax Credit Facility. As of March 31, 2024, tax credit receivables amounting to $341.4 million represented collateral related to the Production Tax Credit Facility. Advances under the Production Tax Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to SOFR plus 0.10% to 0.25% depending on the SOFR term (i.e., one, three or six months), plus 1.50% per annum or the base rate plus 0.50% per annum (effective interest rate of 6.92% at March 31, 2024). The Production Tax Credit Facility matures on January 27, 2025.

As of March 31, 2024, there were no material amounts available under the Production Tax Credit Facility.

IP Credit Facility.

In July 2021, as amended in September 2022, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into a senior secured amortizing term credit facility (the “IP Credit Facility”) based on and secured by the collateral consisting solely of certain of the Company’s rights in certain acquired library titles. The maximum principal amount of the IP Credit Facility is $

161.9

million, subject to the amount of collateral available, which is based on the valuation of cash flows from the libraries. The cash flows generated from the exploitation of the rights will be applied to repay the IP Credit Facility subject to cumulative minimum guaranteed payment amounts as set forth below:


Cumulative Period From September 29, 2022 Through:	Cumulative Minimum Guaranteed Payment Amounts		Payment Due Date
	(in millions)

September 30, 2023	$	30.4	November 14, 2023
September 30, 2024	$	60.7	November 14, 2024

September 30, 2026	$	121.4	November 14, 2026
July 30, 2027	$	161.9	July 30, 2027

Advances under the IP Credit Facility bear interest at a rate equal to, at the Company’s option, SOFR plus 0.11% to 0.26% depending on the SOFR term (i.e., one or three months) plus 2.25% per annum (with a SOFR floor of 0.25%) or the base rate plus 1.25% per annum (effective interest rate of 7.75% at March 31, 2024). The IP Credit Facility matures on July 30, 2027.

Backlog Facility and Other:

Backlog Facility.

In March 2022, as amended in August 2022, certain subsidiaries of the Company entered into a committed secured revolving credit facility (the “Backlog Facility”) based on and secured by collateral consisting solely of certain of the Company’s fixed fee or minimum guarantee contracts where cash will be received in the future. The maximum principal amount of the Backlog Facility is $175.0 million, subject to the amount of eligible collateral contributed to the facility. Advances under the Backlog Facility bear interest at a rate equal to Term SOFR plus 0.10% to 0.25% depending on the SOFR term (i.e., one, three or six months), plus an applicable margin amounting to 1.15% per annum. The applicable margin is subject to a potential increase to either 1.25% or 1.50% based on the weighted average credit quality rating of the collateral contributed to the facility (effective interest rate of 6.57% at March 31, 2024). The Backlog Facility revolving period ends on May 16, 2025, at which point cash collections from the underlying collateral is used to repay the facility. The facility maturity date is up to 2 years, 90 days after the revolving period ends, currently August 14, 2027. As of March 31, 2024, there was $175.0 million outstanding under the Backlog Facility, and there were no amounts available under the Backlog Facility (March 31, 2023 -$175.0 million outstanding).

Other.

The Company has other loans, which are secured by accounts receivable and contracted receivables which are not yet recognized as revenue under certain licensing agreements. Outstanding loan balances under these “other” loans must be repaid with any cash collections from the underlying collateral if and when received by the Company, and may be voluntarily repaid at any time without prepayment penalty fees. As of March 31,

2024, there was $112.3 million outstanding under the “other” loans, incurring SOFR-based interest at a weighted average rate of

6.89

%, of which $24.1 million has a contractual repayment date in July 2025 and $

88.2

million has a contractual repayment date in April 2027. As of March 31, 2024, accounts receivable amounting to $47.8 million and contracted receivables not yet reflected as accounts receivable on the balance sheet at March 31, 2024 amounting to $84.5 million represented collateral related to the “other” loans.

Acquisition

2. Acquisition

eOne Acquisition

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 the Company 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

$385.1

million, inclusive of certain purchase price adjustments, including for cash, debt, 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 Company’s combined results from December 27, 2023. Revenues and loss before income taxes from eOne for the period from December 27, 2023 through March 31, 2024 amounted to approximately $113.8 million and $4.9 million, respectively. The Company incurred approximately $9.4 million of acquisition-related costs that were expensed in restructuring and other during the fiscal year ended March 31, 2024.

Allocation of Purchase Consideration.

The Company has made a preliminary estimate of the allocation of the preliminary purchase price of eOne to the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair value. The Company is still evaluating the fair value of film and television programs and libraries, projects in development, intangible assets, participations and residuals liabilities, and income taxes, in addition to ensuring all other assets and liabilities have been identified and recorded. The Company has estimated the preliminary fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on information currently available and will continue to adjust those estimates as additional information pertaining to events or circumstances present at December 27, 2023 becomes available and final appraisals and analysis are completed. The Company will reflect measurement period adjustments, in the period in which the adjustments occur, and the Company will finalize its accounting for the acquisition within one year from December 27, 2023 (see Note 6 for measurement period adjustments recorded through March 31, 2024). A change in the fair value of the net assets may change the amount recognized to goodwill. If the final fair value estimates and tax adjustments related to the net assets acquired decrease from their preliminary estimates, the amount of goodwill will increase and if the final fair value estimates and tax adjustments related to the net assets acquired increase from their preliminary estimates, the amount of goodwill will decrease and may result in a gain on purchase. In addition, the final fair value estimates related to the net assets acquired could impact the amount of amortization expense recorded associated with amounts allocated to film and television programs and other intangible assets. The preliminary goodwill amount is reflected in the table below, and arises from the opportunity for strengthening our global distribution infrastructure and enhanced positioning for motion picture and television projects and selling opportunities. The goodwill will not be amortized for financial reporting purposes, and will not be deductible for federal tax purposes. The fair value measurements were primarily based on significant inputs that are not observable in the market, such as discounted cash flow (DCF) analyses, and thus represent Level 3 fair value measurements.

The preliminary allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and a reconciliation to total consideration transferred is presented in the table below:

Preliminary fair value of net assets acquired		369.5
Goodwill		15.6

Preliminary purchase price consideration	$	385.1

(1)	Includes current and non-current amounts.

Investment in films and television programs includes the preliminary fair value of completed films and television programs which have been produced by eOne or for which eOne has acquired distribution rights, as well as the preliminary fair value of films and television programs in production,

pre-production

and development. For investment in films and television programs, the fair value was preliminarily estimated based on forecasted cash flows discounted to present value at a rate commensurate with the risk of the assets. Titles that were released less than three years prior to the acquisition date (December 27, 2023) were valued individually

and will be amortized using the individual film forecast method, based on the ratio of current period revenues to management’s estimated remaining total gross revenues to be earned (“ultimate revenue”). Titles released more than three years prior to the acquisition date were valued as part of a library and will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of 5 years to 10 years.

The intangible assets acquired include trade names with a weighted average estimated useful life of 5 years. The fair value of the trade names was preliminarily estimated based on the present value of the hypothetical cost savings that could be realized by the owner of the trade names as a result of not having to pay a stream of royalty payments to another party. These cost savings were calculated based on a DCF analysis of the hypothetical royalty payment that a licensee would be required to pay in exchange for use of the trade names, reduced by the tax effect realized by the licensee on the royalty payments.

Other preliminary fair value adjustments were made to property and equipment and

right-of-use

lease assets to reflect the fair value of certain assets upon acquisition.

Deferred taxes, net of any required valuation allowance, were preliminarily adjusted to record the deferred tax impact of acquisition accounting adjustments primarily related to amounts allocated to film and television programs, other intangible assets, and certain property and equipment,

right-of-use

lease assets, and other liabilities.

The fair value of eOne’s 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.

Segment Information

16. Segment Information

The Company’s reportable segments have been determined based on the distinct nature of their operations, the Company’s internal management structure, and the financial information that is evaluated regularly by the Company’s chief operating decision maker.

The Company has two reportable business segments: (1) Motion Picture and (2) Television Production.

Motion Picture.

Motion Picture 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.

Television Production.

Television Production consists of the development, production and worldwide distribution of television productions including television series, television movies and mini-series, and

non-fiction

programming. Television Production includes the licensing of Starz original series productions to the Starz Business, and 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.

Segment information is presented in the table below. The Motion Picture and Television Production segments include the results of operations of eOne from the acquisition date of December 27, 2023 (see Note 2).

Television Production		146.8		133.4		83.9

Total segment profit	$	466.2	$	409.9	$	346.8

The Company’s primary measure of segment performance is segment profit. Segment profit is defined as gross contribution (revenues, less direct operating and distribution and marketing expense) less segment general and administration expenses. Segment profit excludes, when applicable, corporate and allocated general and administrative expense, restructuring and other costs, share-based compensation, certain charges related to the

COVID-19

global pandemic, charges related to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and purchase accounting and related adjustments. The Company believes the presentation of segment profit is relevant and useful for investors because it allows investors to view segment performance in a manner similar to the primary method used by the Company’s management and enables them to understand the fundamental performance of the Company’s businesses.

The reconciliation of total segment profit to the Company’s income (loss) before income taxes is as follows:

Corporate general and administrative expenses reflect the allocations of 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, accounting, tax, legal, human resources, occupancy, and other shared services (see Note 1 and Note 20). Amount excludes allocation of share-based compensation expense discussed below. The costs included in corporate general and administrative expenses represent certain corporate executive expense (such as salaries and wages for the office of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, General Counsel and other corporate officers), investor relations costs, costs of maintaining corporate facilities, and other unallocated common administrative support functions, including corporate accounting, finance and financial reporting, internal and external audit and tax costs, corporate and other legal support functions, and certain information technology and human resources expense.

(2)

Adjusted depreciation and amortization represents depreciation and amortization as presented on the combined statements of operations less the depreciation and amortization related to the

insurance recoveries. During the fiscal years ended March 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022, the Company has incurred a net benefit in direct operating expense due to insurance recoveries in excess of the incremental costs expensed in the period (see Note 15). These benefits (charges) are excluded from segment operating results.

(4)	Content charges represent certain charges included in direct operating expense in the combined statements of operations, and excluded from segment operating results (see Note 15).

(5)	Amounts represent charges related to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, primarily related to bad debt reserves for accounts receivable from customers in Russia, included in direct operating expense in the combined statements of operations, and excluded from segment operating results.
