| Explanation of Responses: |
| 1. On May 6, 2025, Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. ("LGEC") completed the separation of its motion picture and television studio operations businesses from its other businesses through a series of transactions (the "Transactions"). In connection with the completion of the Transactions, Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. was renamed Starz Entertainment Corp. (the "Issuer"). Pursuant to the Transactions, following a series of exchanges, among other things, (1) each Class A voting share, no par value, of LGEC ("Class A Voting Shares") was ultimately exchanged for one and twelve one-hundredths (1.12) common shares, no par value, of the Issuer ("Common Shares") and (2) each Class B non-voting share, no par value, of LGEC ("Class B Non-Voting Shares") was ultimately exchanged for one (1) Common Share. |
| 2. The shares are held directly by Discovery Lightning Investments Ltd. ("DLI"). Because DLI is an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Warner Bros. Discovery, Inc. ("WBD"), WBD may be deemed to beneficially own the reported securities. WBD expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of the reported securities, except to the extent of its pecuniary interest therein. |
| 3. Following the exchange of Class A Voting Shares and Class B Non-Voting Shares for Common Shares, the Common Shares were consolidated on a 15-to-1 basis such that every fifteen (15) Common Shares were consolidated into one (1) Common Share. |
| Remarks: |
| As a result of certain agreements among the Reporting Persons, the Issuer and certain other shareholders of the Issuer, the Reporting Persons may be deemed members of a "group", within the meaning of Rule 13d-5(b)(1) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Act"), with such other shareholders, that beneficially owns more than 10% of the Common Shares of the Issuer. These agreements are described in, and filed as exhibits to, the Issuer's Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities Exchange Commission on May 7, 2025. This filing is being made as a precautionary matter and shall not be deemed an admission that any of the Reporting Persons is a member of a group or subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16 of the Act. |
