The Original Registration Statement was filed to register 208,122 shares of common stock, without par value, of New Lionsgate (“New Lionsgate Common Stock”) that may be acquired upon exercise of options or stock appreciation rights to acquire shares of the common stock of New Lionsgate that are held by former employees of Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. and its subsidiaries (including New Lionsgate), who are not current employees or consultants of New Lionsgate or Starz Entertainment Corp. and any such individuals’ donees, pledgees, permitted transferees, assignees, successors and others who come to hold any such equity award. As of the date hereof, the Company meets the eligibility requirements of Form S-3 and therefore intends to register certain shares of New Lionsgate Common Stock that were previously registered pursuant to the Original Registration Statement on a Registration Statement on Form S-3 which will be filed with the SEC.

In accordance with the undertakings made by New Lionsgate in the Original Registration Statement to remove from registration, by means of a post-effective amendment, any of the securities that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Original Registration Statement hereby removes from registration all of such securities registered under the Original Registration Statement that remain unsold as of the date of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1.
