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. The full separation of Lionsgate and STARZ is expected by the end of 2024.
