Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement. On January 26, 2026, Lionsgate Studios Corp. (the “Company”) entered into a Governance, Standstill and Voting Agreement (the “Standstill Agreement”) with Liberty 77 Capital L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, Liberty 77 Fund L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership, and Liberty 77 Fund International L.P., a Cayman Islands exempted limited partnership (each, a “Liberty Party,” and together, the “Liberty Parties”), and MHR Fund Management, LLC and affiliated funds (together, “MHR Fund Management”). The Standstill Agreement provides that the Company will appoint Steven T. Mnuchin as a Liberty Party designated director (the “New Liberty Director”) to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), effective as of January 26, 2026, and will include Mr. Mnuchin on its slate of director nominees at the next annual meeting of shareholders and any subsequent annual meetings of shareholders, so long as the Liberty Parties continue to beneficially own at least five percent (5%) of the Company’s outstanding common shares and Mr. Mnuchin continues to satisfy all applicable nomination requirements under the Company’s governance documents and applicable law. The Standstill Agreement requires each of the Liberty Parties and MHR Fund Management to vote all of the Company’s common shares owned by them (together with certain of their affiliates) in favor of each of the other’s respective nominees to the Board, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Standstill Agreement. The Standstill Agreement further provides that, for the period beginning on the date of the agreement and continuing until the one-year anniversary of the date that any New Liberty Director that is appointed in accordance with the Standstill Agreement is not serving on the Board, none of the Liberty Parties and MHR Fund Management will engage in customary standstill actions, including increasing their ownership in the Company above 17.5%, making unsolicited proposals, launching proxy contests, forming groups, or otherwise participating in activities that could challenge or circumvent the Company’s governance structure. The Standstill Agreement also includes customary transfer restrictions, limitations on derivative or hedging transactions, and prohibitions on certain coordinated actions, and provides for the automatic termination of these restrictions in certain circumstances, including the Company’s entry into a definitive agreement for extraordinary transactions described in the Standstill Agreement. The Standstill Agreement also provides the Liberty Parties with pre-emptive rights and registration rights, in each case, consistent with the rights included in that certain Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of May 6, 2025, by and among the Company, MHR Fund Management, Liberty Global Ventures Limited and Liberty Global LTD. (collectively, “Liberty Global”) and those certain Registration Rights Agreements with each of MHR Fund Management and Liberty Global, dated as of May 6, 2025, respectively, as well as certain “most favored nations” provisions to both the Liberty Parties and the Mammoth Parties that terminate once the parties own less than 20,000,000 of the Company’s common shares. The summary of the Standstill Agreement set forth under this Item 1.01 is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete terms and conditions of the Standstill Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference.
