The Supreme Court of British Columbia granted an order on May 5, 2025, approving the full separation of Lions Gate Entertainment Corp.'s Studio and STARZ businesses into two independent, publicly traded companies. This judicial approval marks a final legal step in the long-anticipated strategic restructuring.
The separation is expected to take place on May 6, 2025, with Lionsgate anticipated to begin trading on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol LION on May 7, 2025. This development paves the way for Lionsgate Studios to operate as a focused content company.
The court's decision enables the company to proceed with its plan to create distinct entities, allowing each business to pursue its own strategic and financial objectives. This is a significant event for investors, as it formalizes the path to a pure-play studio model.
