Item 4.02. Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
(a) On October 15, 2024, Lionsgate Studios Corp. (the “Company”) filed (i) an Amendment No. 2 (the “8-K Amendment”) to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K which was initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 14, 2024 and (ii) a Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 (the “S-1 Amendment”) to the registration statement on Form S-1 (File No. 333-280132) of the Company, which was filed initially with the SEC on June 12, 2024 and declared effective on July 1, 2024 (the “Original S-1 Filing”). The 8-K Amendment and the S-1 Amendment were filed to correct the mathematical computations of the subtotal of cash flows provided by financing activities, net change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, and the total of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash-end of period, as previously presented in the combined statement of cash flows for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 in Exhibit 99.1 of Amendment No. 1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on May 30, 2024 (the “Original 8-K/A”) and the prospectus included in the Original S-1 Filing, respectively. The net cash flows provided by financing activities, net change in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, and the total of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash-end of period, have each been decreased by $118.7 million to correct the previous mathematical error.
The Company’s management concluded on October 10, 2024, after discussion with the Company’s Audit & Risk Committee and its independent registered public accounting firm, Ernst & Young LLP, that the previously issued financial statements contained in the Original 8-K/A and the Original S-1 Filing should no longer be relied upon as a result of the foregoing matters.
The Company’s Audit & Risk Committee has discussed the matters disclosed in this filing pursuant to Item 4.02(a) with management and with the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm.
Signature
Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Registrant has duly caused this report to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned hereunto duly authorized.
