Lionsgate operates a comprehensive motion picture and television studio and the STARZ subscription platform, boasting a 20,000-title film and television library. It owns 87.2% of Lionsgate Studios, a standalone content company known for its diverse production and distribution services.
Lionsgate announced that Lionsgate Studios will launch on May 14, trading on NASDAQ under the symbol LION. This move makes Lionsgate Studios one of the world's largest standalone, publicly-traded content companies, raising $350 million from top investors. The transaction was facilitated by merging with Screaming Eagle Acquisition Corp, valuing Lionsgate Studios at $4.6 billion.
Lionsgate Studios will include the Motion Picture Group, Television Studio segments, and a library of over 20,000 titles, but excludes the STARZ platform. As a result, 87.2% of the shares will be held by Lionsgate, with the remaining 12.8% held by Screaming Eagle's shareholders and common equity investors.
