Except as otherwise indicated, the information concerning Lions Gate contained in the Offer to Purchase and Circular has been taken from or based upon publicly available documents and records on file with Canadian securities regulatory authorities, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and other public sources. The Offeror has no means of verifying the accuracy or completeness of any of the information contained herein that is derived from those filings or whether there has been any failure by Lions Gate to disclose events that may have occurred or may affect the significance or accuracy of any information.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

The Offer to Purchase and Circular contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and are based on a number of assumptions and other factors. See “Forward-Looking Statements” in the Offer to Purchase and Circular.

NOTICE TO SHAREHOLDERS

SHAREHOLDERS ARE ADVISED TO READ THE PROXY STATEMENT AND OTHER DOCUMENTS RELATED TO THE SOLICITATION OF PROXIES BY CARL C. ICAHN AND HIS AFFILIATES FROM THE SHAREHOLDERS OF LIONS GATE FOR USE AT ITS NEXT MEETING AT WHICH INDIVIDUALS WILL BE ELECTED TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF LIONS GATE, WHEN THEY BECOME AVAILABLE, BECAUSE THEY WILL CONTAIN IMPORTANT INFORMATION, INCLUDING INFORMATION RELATING TO THE PARTICIPANTS IN SUCH PROXY SOLICITATION. WHEN COMPLETED, A DEFINITIVE PROXY STATEMENT AND A FORM OF PROXY WILL BE MAILED TO SHAREHOLDERS OF LIONS GATE AND WILL ALSO BE AVAILABLE AT NO CHARGE AT THE SEC’S WEBSITE AT WWW.SEC.GOV AND ON THE SYSTEM FOR ELECTRONIC DOCUMENT ANALYSIS AND RETRIEVAL (“SEDAR”) WEBSITE AT WWW.SEDAR.COM. CERTAIN INFORMATION RELATING TO PARTICIPANTS IN SUCH PROXY SOLICITATION IS CONTAINED HEREIN.

The enforcement by Shareholders of civil liabilities under U.S. federal or state securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that Icahn Partners Master Fund LP, Icahn Partners Master Fund II LP and Icahn Partners Master Fund III LP are governed by the laws of the Cayman Islands, Icahn Fund S.à r.l. is governed by the laws of Luxembourg, Daazi Holding B.V. is governed by the laws of The Netherlands, 7508921 Canada Inc. is governed by the laws of Canada and the LGE Trust is governed by the laws of Ontario, that experts named in the Circular reside outside the United States and that all or a substantial portion of the assets of the Offeror and said persons may be located outside the United States. Shareholders may not be able to sue a foreign company or trust or its officers, directors or trustees in a foreign court for violations of U.S. federal or state securities laws. It may be difficult to compel a foreign company or trust and its affiliates to subject themselves to a U.S. court’s judgment.

The enforcement by Shareholders of civil liabilities under Canadian securities laws may be affected adversely by the fact that each of Icahn Partners LP, Icahn Partners Master Fund LP, Icahn Partners Master Fund II LP, Icahn Partners Master Fund III LP, High River Limited Partnership, Icahn Fund S.à r.l. and Daazi Holding B.V. is incorporated, continued or otherwise organized under the laws of a foreign jurisdiction or resides outside of Canada and that all or a substantial portion of the assets of the Offeror may be located outside Canada. It may not be possible for Shareholders to enforce judgments obtained in Canada against the Icahn Group (other than 7508921 Canada Inc.).

Shareholders of Lions Gate should be aware that the purchase by the Offeror of the Lions Gate Shares held by them as described herein may have tax consequences both in Canada and the United States. The material tax consequences for Shareholders who are resident in, or citizens of, Canada and the United States are described in Section 15 of the Circular, “Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” and Section 16 of the Circular, “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations”, respectively.

The following are some of the questions you, as a shareholder of Lions Gate, may have about our offer and our answers to those questions. This summary term sheet provides important and material information about our offer that is described in more detail elsewhere in the Offer to Purchase and Circular, Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal and Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, but this summary term sheet does not include all of the information about our offer that is important to you. Additional important information about our offer is contained in the remainder of the Offer to Purchase and Circular, Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal and Notice of Guaranteed Delivery. Therefore, we urge you to carefully read the remainder of the Offer to Purchase and Circular, Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal and Notice of Guaranteed Delivery for our offer. We have included cross-references in this summary term sheet to other sections of the Offer to Purchase and Circular to direct you to the sections of the Offer to Purchase and Circular in which a more complete description of the topics covered in this summary term sheet appear. As used in these questions and answers, “we” or “us” or “our” refers to Icahn Partners LP, Icahn Partners Master Fund LP, Icahn Partners Master Fund II LP, Icahn Partners Master Fund III LP, High River Limited Partnership, Icahn Fund S.à r.l., Daazi Holding B.V., 7508921 Canada Inc. and Ronald G. Atkey, in his capacity as the sole trustee of the LGE Trust, the entities making the offer for the Lions Gate common shares, and the “Icahn Group” refers to Icahn Partners LP, Icahn Partners Master Fund LP, Icahn Partners Master Fund II LP, Icahn Partners Master Fund III LP, High River Limited Partnership, Icahn Fund S.à r.l., Daazi Holding B.V. and 7508921 Canada Inc.

We are Icahn Partners LP, Icahn Partners Master Fund LP, Icahn Partners Master Fund II LP, Icahn Partners Master Fund III LP and High River Limited Partnership, limited partnerships which are indirectly controlled by Mr. Carl C. Icahn, and Icahn Fund S.à r.l. and Daazi Holding B.V., limited liability companies which are indirectly controlled by Mr. Carl C. Icahn, 7508921 Canada Inc., a corporation indirectly controlled by Mr. Carl C. Icahn, and Ronald G. Atkey, in his capacity as the sole trustee of the LGE Trust. Other than 7508921 Canada Inc. and Mr. Atkey, we are primarily engaged in investing in securities of various entities under the direction of Mr. Icahn, acting through his affiliated entities. See Section 1, “The Offeror”, and Section 2, “Lions Gate”, of the Circular for more details regarding us and Lions Gate.

We are seeking to purchase UP TO ALL of the issued and outstanding common shares of Lions Gate. See Section 1 of the Offer to Purchase, “The Offer”.

WHY IS RONALD G. ATKEY, IN HIS CAPACITY AS THE SOLE TRUSTEE OF THE LGE TRUST, AN OFFEROR?

Ronald G. Atkey, in his capacity as the sole trustee of the LGE Trust, will purchase those Lions Gate common shares validly deposited and not withdrawn under our offer, which, if otherwise taken up by the Icahn Group, would result in the Icahn Group owning 50% or more of the outstanding common shares of Lions Gate while Lions Gate controls Maple Pictures Corp. (“Maple”), a distributor of films in Canada. This purchase would be made in accordance with the undertakings given by the Icahn Group to the Minister of Canadian Heritage in connection with the Icahn Group’s application under the Investment Canada Act (Canada) to acquire control of the Canadian business carried on by Lions Gate. The Icahn Group’s application was approved by the Minister of Canadian Heritage on June 8, 2010. A purchase by Mr. Atkey, in his capacity as the sole trustee of the LGE Trust, may be necessary to avoid any adverse consequences that could result if Lions Gate becomes a non-Canadian controlled entity within the meaning of the Investment Canada Act (Canada) during the period when Lions Gate controls Maple.

Ronald G. Atkey, in his capacity as the sole trustee of the LGE Trust, will be entitled to vote any Lions Gate common shares acquired in whatever manner he wishes in the best interests of the beneficiary of the LGE Trust. The Icahn Group intends to purchase any Lions Gate common shares taken up under our offer by Mr. Atkey, in his capacity as the sole trustee of the LGE Trust, after such time as when doing so would not result in Maple becoming a non-Canadian within the meaning of the Investment Canada Act (Canada).

Lions Gate’s latest actions (including the recent implementation of a second shareholder rights plan (“poison pill”) after the first poison pill was struck down by Canadian securities regulators) convince the Icahn Group that it is extremely unlikely that the current management and board of directors of Lions Gate will allow shareholders of Lions Gate to make their own determination on the future path of the Company, including decisions to make a major acquisition. The Icahn Group therefore intends to seek to replace all or the lion’s share of Lions Gate’s board of directors with the Icahn Group’s nominees.

The Icahn Group reserves the right to engage in discussions with third parties regarding possible future acquisitions. Lions Gate may be part of these discussions. However, there can be no assurance that these discussions will take place.

We are offering to pay U.S.$6.50 per Lions Gate common share in cash. However, you can also elect in the Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal to receive payment in Canadian dollars based on the Bank of Canada noon spot exchange rate on the date following expiry of our offer on which funds are provided to the depositary to pay for Lions Gate common shares purchased under our offer.

On July 19, 2010, the Bank of Canada noon spot exchange rate for Canadian dollars per U.S.$1.00 was $1.0559. For example, if you received payment in U.S. dollars and exchanged it for Canadian dollars at that exchange rate, you would have received $6.86 per Lions Gate common share (excluding any currency exchange fees or commissions). Although the offer price of U.S.$6.50 per Lions Gate common share is fixed, the amount you would receive in Canadian dollars with respect to Lions Gate common shares will vary with the U.S. dollar to Canadian dollar exchange rate, which may be higher or lower than $1.0559 per U.S.$1.00 at the time of exchange. All amounts payable by us for your Lions Gate common shares will be paid promptly in U.S. currency or, if you so elect, in Canadian currency, upon our take up of Lions Gate common shares under our offer. If applicable to your situation, you should obtain a current quote of the exchange rate before deciding whether to deposit your Lions Gate common shares. See Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase, “Manner of Acceptance”.

You will not be obligated to pay any brokerage fee or commission with respect to the purchase of Lions Gate common shares by us pursuant to our offer if you accept our offer by depositing your Lions Gate common shares directly with Computershare Investor Services Inc., the depositary for our offer (the “Depositary”), or Computershare Trust Company, N.A., the U.S. forwarding agent for our offer (the “U.S. Forwarding Agent”). If you own Lions Gate common shares through a broker or other nominee and such broker or nominee deposits Lions Gate common shares on your behalf, the broker or nominee may charge a fee for performing this service. See Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase, “Manner of Acceptance”.

DO YOU HAVE THE FINANCIAL RESOURCES TO MAKE PAYMENT FOR ALL OF THE LIONS GATE COMMON SHARES THAT YOU ARE OFFERING TO PURCHASE?

We have sufficient working capital to pay for all Lions Gate common shares that are sought by us in our offer. See Section 5 of the Circular, “Source of Funds”, for additional information. Our obligation to purchase Lions Gate common shares in our offer is not subject to any financing condition.

IS YOUR FINANCIAL CONDITION RELEVANT TO MY DECISION TO DEPOSIT IN YOUR OFFER?

We do not believe that our financial condition is relevant to your decision whether to deposit your Lions Gate common shares in our offer because the form of consideration consists solely of cash and our offer is not contingent upon our receipt of financing.

In order to deposit the underlying Lions Gate common shares to our offer, you must exercise your options pursuant to the terms of the plan governing the options, and deposit the Lions Gate common shares in our offer in the same manner as other Lions Gate common shares. See “How Do I Deposit My Lions Gate Common Shares In Your Offer?”

HOW LONG DO I HAVE TO DECIDE WHETHER TO DEPOSIT MY LIONS GATE COMMON SHARES IN YOUR OFFER?

You will have until 8:00 p.m., New York time, on August 25, 2010 to deposit your Lions Gate common shares in our offer, unless our offer is extended or earlier withdrawn. Such time and date, as may be extended, is referred to in the Offer to Purchase and Circular as the “Expiry Time”. If you cannot deliver everything that is required in order to make a valid deposit by that time, you may be able to use a guaranteed delivery procedure, which is described in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase, “Manner of Acceptance”.

Subject to applicable law, we can extend our offer at any time and from time to time, for any reason. We are permitted (and are required under limited circumstances) to extend our offer beyond its initial expiration date of August 25, 2010:

Subject to applicable law, we expressly reserve the right to waive any of the conditions to our offer and to make any change in the terms of, or conditions to, or to withdraw our offer prior to the Expiry Time. See Section 5, “Extension and Variation of the Offer”, and Section 6, “Withdrawal of Deposited Lions Gate Shares”, of the Offer to Purchase.

We do not intend to provide a subsequent offering period after we take up Lions Gate common shares deposited in our offer.

If we extend our offer, we will provide notice to the Depositary for our offer. We will also make a public announcement of the extension by issuing a press release prior to 9:00 a.m., New York time, on the next business day after the scheduled Expiry Time and by providing a copy of the notice to the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”). See Section 5 of the Offer to Purchase, “Extension and Variation of the Offer”.

We have the right to withdraw our offer and not take up and pay for any Lions Gate common shares deposited in our offer unless each of the conditions applicable to our offer described in Section 4 of the Offer to Purchase, “Conditions of the Offer”, is satisfied or waived by us prior to the Expiry Time.

We are not obligated to purchase Lions Gate common shares that are validly deposited in our offer if (i) Lions Gate has entered into any material transaction outside the ordinary course of business (including any acquisition of assets over U.S.$100 million); (ii) Lions Gate issues or authorizes the issuance of any Lions Gate securities other than pursuant to the exercise or conversion of currently outstanding stock options or convertible securities; (iii) we have not received any required approvals, exemptions or rulings; or (iv) all rights issued or issuable under the poison pill adopted by Lions Gate’s board of directors on July 1, 2010 have not been cease-traded, found to be illegal or unenforceable, redeemed by the board, or otherwise eliminated.

Our offer is also subject to various other conditions. We can waive the conditions to our offer without Lions Gate’s consent. See Section 4 of the Offer to Purchase, “Conditions of the Offer”.

Our obligation to purchase Lions Gate common shares under our offer is not subject to any financing condition. See Section 5 of the Circular, “Source of Funds”.

CAN I WITHDRAW LIONS GATE COMMON SHARES THAT I PREVIOUSLY DEPOSITED IN YOUR OFFER? UNTIL WHAT TIME MAY I WITHDRAW PREVIOUSLY DEPOSITED LIONS GATE COMMON SHARES?

You can withdraw some or all of the Lions Gate common shares that you validly deposited in our offer at any time prior to the Expiry Time. Once we accept your deposited Lions Gate common shares for payment upon the expiration of our offer, you will no longer be able to withdraw them, except if they have not been paid for within three business days of such acceptance or in accordance with applicable law. In addition, if we have not accepted your Lions Gate common shares for payment by September 17, 2010, you can withdraw them at any time thereafter, provided that your Lions Gate common shares have not been accepted for payment prior to the receipt by the Depositary or U.S. Forwarding Agent, depending on with whom you originally deposited your Lions Gate common shares, of a notice of withdrawal in respect of such shares. See Section 6 of the Offer to Purchase, “Withdrawal of Deposited Lions Gate Shares”.

To withdraw Lions Gate common shares that you have previously deposited in our offer, you (or, if your Lions Gate common shares are held in street name, the broker, dealer, bank, trust company or other nominee that holds your Lions Gate common shares) must deliver or fax a written notice of withdrawal, with the required information to the Depositary or U.S. Forwarding Agent, depending on with whom you originally deposited your Lions Gate common shares, while you still have the right to withdraw your Lions Gate common shares. See Section 6 of the Offer to Purchase, “Withdrawal of Deposited Lions Gate Shares”.

Under Canadian provincial securities laws, a directors’ circular must be prepared and delivered to shareholders no later than 15 days from the date of the commencement of our offer. This circular must include (i) a recommendation to accept or reject our offer, and the reasons for their recommendation, (ii) a statement that they are unable to make or are not making a recommendation, and if no recommendation is made, the reasons for not making a recommendation, or (iii) a statement that the directors are considering whether to make a recommendation to accept or reject the bid, the reasons for not making a recommendation and advising shareholders that they should not deposit their Lions Gate common shares until they receive another communication from the directors in accordance with (i) or (ii) which must be delivered at least seven days before the Expiry Time. Under U.S. federal securities laws, Lions Gate has similar obligations, including the requirement to file with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission a response no later than 10 business days from the date of the commencement of our offer as to whether it recommends acceptance or rejection of our offer, that it has no opinion with respect to our offer or that it is unable to take a position with respect to our offer and the reason(s) for its position.

IF THE LIONS GATE COMMON SHARES SOUGHT IN YOUR OFFER ARE DEPOSITED AND TAKEN UP, WHAT WILL BE THE EFFECT OF THE OFFER ON LIONS GATE?

Depending upon the number of Lions Gate common shares purchased pursuant to our offer, the Lions Gate common shares may no longer meet the requirements of the NYSE for continued listing on the NYSE. If the Lions Gate common shares are delisted from the NYSE, the ability of Lions Gate shareholders to resell their Lions Gate common shares would be reduced. Depending upon the number of Lions Gate common shares purchased pursuant to our offer, Lions Gate may also become eligible to cease to be a reporting issuer under applicable securities laws in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario and Québec and to suspend its periodic reporting obligations under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. This would reduce the amount of information that Lions Gate must provide to Lions Gate shareholders. See Section 12 of the Circular, “Effect of the Offer on the Market for Lions Gate Shares”.

Lions Gate disclosed on its Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 25, 2010 that on June 22, 2010 it amended the terms of its senior revolving credit facility and revolving film credit facility to define a “change in control” to include, subject to certain limited exceptions, an acquisition whereby a person or group acquires ownership or control in excess of 50% of Lions Gate’s equity securities having voting power to vote in the election of the board of directors of Lions Gate. In addition, the senior revolving credit facility and revolving film credit facility, as amended, provide that the following, among other events, trigger a “change in control”: (i) if at any time, individuals who as of July 28, 2008 constituted the board of directors of Lions Gate (together with any new directors whose election by the board of directors or whose nomination for election by the holders of Lions Gate common shares was approved by a vote of the majority of directors then still in office who were either directors as of July 28, 2008 or whose election or nomination was previously so approved) cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the board of directors of Lions Gate, and (ii) if either (a) both Jon Feltheimer and Michael Burns or (b) all four of Joseph Drake, Steven Beeks, Kevin Beggs and Michael Paseornek ceases for any reason (including termination, death or disability) to materially perform the functions and services they perform for Lions Gate and Lions Gate fails for a period of 90 consecutive days afterwards to replace such person with a replacement acceptable to the lenders holding at least 51% of the total credit exposure under such credit facilities.

The senior revolving credit facility and revolving film credit facility both provide that a “change in control” would be an event of default that would permit the lenders to accelerate the repayment of borrowings under such facilities and to enforce security interests in the collateral securing such debt. Lions Gate has stated that as of April 16, 2010 it had borrowings of approximately U.S.$60 million outstanding under the senior revolving credit facility and borrowings of approximately U.S.$37.9 million outstanding under the revolving film credit facility. In addition, Lions Gate has stated that if the borrowings under the senior revolving credit facility and the revolving film credit facility were accelerated following an event of default that is not waived or cured, holders of the (i) convertible senior subordinated notes due 2024, (ii) convertible senior subordinated notes due 2025 issued in February 2005, (iii) convertible senior subordinated notes due 2025 issued in April 2009, and (iv) senior secured second-priority notes due 2016, each of which was issued by Lions Gate Entertainment Inc., a subsidiary of Lions Gate, and is guaranteed by Lions Gate, would have the right to accelerate such debt.

In addition, the (i) convertible senior subordinated notes due 2024, (ii) convertible senior subordinated notes due 2025 issued in February 2005, and (iii) convertible senior subordinated notes due 2025 issued in April 2009 become subject, upon a “change in control”, to the right of the holders of such notes to require Lions Gate Entertainment Inc. to repurchase such notes at 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and, in certain circumstances, to a make whole premium. Under the terms of the senior secured second-priority notes due 2016, upon the occurrence of a “change in control”, Lions Gate Entertainment Inc. must make an offer to purchase all of the notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of such notes, plus accrued

and unpaid interest. Under the terms of each of the foregoing notes, a “change in control” includes the acquisition of beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, by any person or group of more than 50% of the total voting power of the Lions Gate common shares. A “change in control” under the terms of any of the foregoing notes would also result in a default under the terms of the senior revolving credit facility and revolving film credit facility. Lions Gate has stated that as of April 16, 2010, U.S.$236.0 million principal amount of the senior secured second-priority notes due 2016 and U.S.$236.1 million aggregate principal amount of the convertible senior subordinated notes due 2024, the convertible senior subordinated notes due 2025 issued in February 2005, and the convertible senior subordinated notes due 2025 issued in April 2009 were outstanding, and that Lions Gate’s consolidated total indebtedness was approximately U.S.$861.8 million.

If Lions Gate’s lenders and noteholders were to elect to declare events of default relating to the change in control provisions and an acceleration occurs, it will not be a condition allowing us to withdraw our offer. If such an acceleration occurs, the Icahn Group believes that Lions Gate will need to immediately secure a replacement source of funding in order to continue to operate its business and avoid bankruptcy. The Icahn Group believes this is a problem of Lions Gate’s own making – had the board of directors not agreed to these controversial “poison put” provisions, the Company would not now be facing this very difficult situation. As previously stated, the Icahn Group intends to hold the board responsible for any costs and damages the Company might incur from having to obtain emergency financing to alleviate this situation.

The employment agreements of Jon Feltheimer, Michael Burns, Steven Beeks, Joseph Drake and Wayne Levin, each of whom are executive officers of Lions Gate, contain “change in control” benefits and severance benefits if any such individual’s employment is terminated in connection with a “change in control”. The “change in control” provision in each of Messrs. Feltheimer, Burns, Beeks, Drake, and Levin’s employment agreements was purportedly triggered when the Icahn Group acquired more than 33% of the Lions Gate common shares. Certain executive officers and directors of Lions Gate disclosed in public filings that they have received Lions Gate Shares upon the accelerated vesting of restricted share units. In the event that the aforementioned executive officers exercise any other of their respective “change in control” rights under their respective employment agreements, it would not be a condition allowing us to withdraw our offer.

Lions Gate’s 2004 Performance Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”) grants the administrator of the 2004 Plan the discretion, in the event of a change in control, to provide that any outstanding option or stock appreciation rights shall become fully vested, that any share of restricted stock then outstanding shall fully vest free of restrictions, and that any other award granted under the 2004 Plan that is then outstanding shall be payable to the holder of such award. The 2004 Plan defines a “change in control” to include, among other things, the acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of 30% or more of the Lions Gate common shares. The “change in control” provision in the 2004 Plan was purportedly triggered when the Icahn Group acquired more than 30% of the Lions Gate common shares. Certain executive officers and directors of Lions Gate disclosed in public filings that they have received Lions Gate Shares upon the accelerated vesting of restricted share units. In the event that the administrator of the 2004 Plan exercises any other of its “change in control” rights under the 2004 Plan, it would not be a condition allowing us to withdraw our offer.

WHAT ARE THE MATERIAL CANADIAN FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF DEPOSITING LIONS GATE COMMON SHARES IN YOUR OFFER?

In general, a holder of Lions Gate common shares who is a resident of Canada, who holds Lions Gate common shares as capital property, who deals at arm’s length with and is not affiliated with Lions Gate or us and who sells Lions Gate common shares under our offer will realize a capital gain (or loss) to

the extent that the proceeds of disposition of the Lions Gate common shares (determined in Canadian dollars) exceed (or are less than) the total of the adjusted cost base of the Lions Gate common shares to the shareholder and any reasonable costs of disposition. In general, a holder of Lions Gate common shares who is not a resident of Canada, who deals at arm’s length with and is not affiliated with Lions Gate or us, who holds Lions Gate common shares as capital property and not in connection with carrying on a business in Canada, whose Lions Gate common shares are not taxable Canadian property, and who sells Lions Gate common shares under our offer will not be subject to Canadian federal income tax on any capital gain realized on a disposition of Lions Gate common shares under our offer. We encourage you to seek independent tax advice regarding the Canadian federal income tax consequences of depositing your Lions Gate common shares in our offer. The foregoing is only a brief summary of Canadian federal income tax consequences and is qualified by the more detailed general description set out under “Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” in Section 15 of the Circular.

WHAT ARE THE MATERIAL U.S. FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES OF DEPOSITING LIONS GATE COMMON SHARES IN YOUR OFFER?

In general, a U.S. holder who holds Lions Gate common shares as capital assets and receives U.S. dollars for the Lions Gate common shares under our offer will recognize a gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes in an amount equal to the difference, if any, between (a) the amount received and (b) such U.S. holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Lions Gate common shares.

Certain statements contained in the accompanying Offer to Purchase and Circular under “Background to the Offer” and “Purpose of the Offer and Plans for Lions Gate”, in addition to certain statements contained elsewhere in this Offer to Purchase and Circular, are “forward-looking statements” and are prospective. These statements may be identified by their use of forward-looking terminology such as the words “expects”, “projects”, “believes”, “anticipates”, “intends” or other similar words. Forward-looking statements are not based on historical facts, but rather on current expectations and projections about future events, and are therefore subject to risks and uncertainties which could cause actual results to differ materially from the future results expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements. These statements generally can be identified by the inherent risks and uncertainties surrounding future expectations. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from the expectations of the Offeror include, among other things, the failure to meet certain conditions of the Offer and certain of the risk factors as set forth in Lions Gate’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on June 1, 2010. Such forward-looking statements should therefore be construed in light of such factors, and the Offeror is under no obligation and expressly disclaims any intention or obligation to update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise, except as required by law.

The Offeror hereby offers to purchase, upon the terms and subject to the conditions hereinafter specified, UP TO ALL of the issued and outstanding Lions Gate Shares, including Lions Gate Shares which become outstanding on the exercise of outstanding options, warrants or other rights to purchase Lions Gate Shares (other than Lions Gate Shares which become outstanding on the exercise of Rights), for U.S.$6.50 per common share.

The Offer is made only for Lions Gate Shares and is not made for any options, warrants or other rights to acquire Lions Gate Shares. Any holder of such securities (other than Rights) who wishes to accept the Offer must, to the extent permitted by the terms of such securities and applicable law, exercise the options, warrants or other rights in order to obtain the underlying Lions Gate Shares and then deposit those Lions Gate Shares in accordance with the Offer. Any such exercise must be sufficiently in advance of the Expiry Time to ensure that Lions Gate Shares will be available for deposit no later than the Expiry Time or in sufficient time to comply with the procedures referred to in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase, “Manner of Acceptance – Procedure for Guaranteed Delivery”.

The Offeror reserves the right to transfer or assign, in whole or from time to time in part, to one or more Persons designated by or affiliated with the Offeror, the right to purchase Lions Gate Shares deposited in the Offer, but any such transfer or assignment will not relieve the Offeror of its obligations under the Offer or prejudice the rights of depositing Shareholders to receive payment for Lions Gate Shares validly deposited and accepted for payment pursuant to the Offer. As a result of the relationship of Carl C. Icahn, Beckton Corp., Icahn Enterprises G.P. Inc., Icahn Enterprises Holdings L.P., IPH GP LLC, Icahn Capital LP and Icahn Offshore LP with each of Icahn Partners Master Fund LP, Icahn Partners Master Fund II LP and Icahn Partners Master Fund III LP, each of them may be deemed to have shared voting power and shared dispositive power with Icahn Partners Master Fund LP, Icahn Partners Master Fund II LP and Icahn Partners Master Fund III LP with regard to the Lions Gate Shares beneficially owned by Icahn Partners Master Fund LP, Icahn Partners Master Fund II LP and Icahn Partners Master Fund III LP. As a result of the relationship of Carl C. Icahn, Beckton Corp., Icahn Enterprises G.P. Inc., Icahn Enterprises Holdings L.P., IPH GP LLC, Icahn Capital LP and Icahn Onshore LP with Icahn Partners LP, each of them may be deemed to have shared voting power and shared dispositive power with Icahn Partners LP with regard to the Lions Gate Shares beneficially owned by Icahn Partners LP. As a result of the relationship of Carl C. Icahn, Hopper Investments LLC and Barberry Corp. with High River Limited Partnership, each of them may be deemed to have shared voting power and shared dispositive power with High River Limited Partnership with regard to the Lions Gate Shares beneficially owned by High River Limited Partnership.

Inc. and Beckton Corp. are deemed to be co-bidders with the Offeror.

All cash payable under the Offer will be denominated in U.S. dollars. However, Shareholders can elect to receive their cash consideration in Canadian dollars based on the Bank of Canada noon spot exchange rate on the date following the expiry of the Offer on which funds are provided to the Depositary to pay for Lions Gate Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer. See Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase, “Manner of Acceptance – Currency of Payment”.

The accompanying Circular, Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal and Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, which are incorporated into and form part of the Offer, contain important information that should be read carefully before making a decision with respect to the Offer.

The Offer is open for acceptance until the Expiry Time, being 8:00 p.m., New York time, on August 25, 2010, unless the Offer is withdrawn or extended by the Offeror. The Expiry Time may be extended at the Offeror’s sole discretion pursuant to Section 5 of the Offer to Purchase, “Extension and Variation of the Offer”.

The Offer may be accepted by delivering to the Depositary or the U.S. Forwarding Agent at any of the offices of the Depositary or the U.S. Forwarding Agent listed in the accompanying Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal:

Participants in CDS or DTC should contact the Depositary with respect to the deposit of their Lions Gate Shares under the Offer. CDS and DTC will be issuing instructions to their participants as to the method of depositing such Lions Gate Shares under the terms of the Offer.

The Offer will be deemed to be accepted only if the Depositary or the U.S. Forwarding Agent has actually received these documents no later than the Expiry Time. The signature on the Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution or in some other manner acceptable to the Depositary or the U.S. Forwarding Agent (except that no guarantee is required for the signature of a depositing Shareholder which is an Eligible Institution) if it is signed by a Person other than the registered owner(s) of the Lions Gate Shares being deposited, or if the Lions Gate Shares not purchased are to be returned to a Person other than such registered owner(s) or sent to an address other than the address of the registered owner(s) as shown on the registers of Lions Gate, or if payment is to be issued in the name of a Person other than the registered owner(s) of the Lions Gate Shares being deposited. If a Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal is executed by a Person other than the registered holder of the Lions Gate Shares represented by the certificate(s) deposited therewith, then the certificate(s) must be endorsed or be accompanied by an appropriate share transfer power of attorney duly and properly completed by the registered holder, with the signature on the endorsement panel or share transfer power of attorney guaranteed by an Eligible Institution.

The cash payable under the Offer will be denominated in U.S. dollars. However, Shareholders can elect to receive their cash consideration in Canadian dollars based on the Bank of Canada noon spot exchange rate on the date following the expiry of the Offer on which funds are provided to the Depositary to pay for Lions Gate Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer. If a Shareholder wishes to receive the cash payable

under the Offer in Canadian dollars, the box titled “Currency of Payment” in the Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal and, if applicable, in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery must be completed. Otherwise, cash payment will be made in U.S. dollars.

Shareholders may accept the Offer by following the procedures for book-entry transfer established by DTC, provided that a Book-Entry Confirmation, together with an Agent’s Message in respect thereof, or a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal, together with any required signature guarantees, and any other required documents, are received by the Depositary at its office in Toronto, Ontario, Canada or the U.S. Forwarding Agent prior to the Expiry Time. The Depositary will establish an account with respect to the Lions Gate Shares at DTC for the purpose of the Offer within three business days after the date of the Offer. Any financial institution that is a participant in the system of DTC may make a book-entry delivery of Lions Gate Shares by causing DTC to transfer such Lions Gate Shares into the Depositary’s account at DTC in accordance with DTC’s procedures for such transfer. However, as noted above, although delivery of Lions Gate Shares may be effected through book-entry transfer at DTC, either a Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, together with any required signature guarantees, or an Agent’s Message in lieu of a Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal, and any other required documents, must, in any case, be received by the Depositary at its office in Toronto, Ontario, Canada or the U.S. Forwarding Agent no later than the Expiry Time, or the depositing Shareholder must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedure described below. Delivery of Lions Gate Shares to the Depositary by means of a book-entry transfer in accordance with the procedures for book-entry transfer established by DTC will constitute a valid tender under the Offer.

Shareholders may also accept the Offer by following the procedures for book-entry transfer established by CDS, provided that a Book-Entry Confirmation through CDSX is received by the Depositary at its office in Toronto, Ontario, Canada at or prior to the Expiry Time. The Depositary will establish an account with respect to the Lions Gate Shares for purposes of the Offer at CDS within three business days after the date of the Offer. Any financial institution that is a participant in CDS may cause CDS to make a book-entry transfer of a Shareholder’s Lions Gate Shares into the Depositary’s account in accordance with CDS procedures for such transfer. Shareholders, and their respective CDS participants, who utilize CDSX to accept the Offer through a book-entry transfer of their holdings into the Depositary’s account with CDS shall be deemed to have completed and submitted a Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal and to be bound by the terms thereof and therefore any book-entry transfer of Lions Gate Shares into the Depositary’s account at CDS in accordance with CDS procedures will be considered a valid tender in accordance with the terms of the Offer.

DELIVERY OF DOCUMENTS TO DTC OR CDS DOES NOT CONSTITUTE DELIVERY TO THE DEPOSITARY.

If a holder of Lions Gate Shares wishes to deposit such Lions Gate Shares pursuant to the Offer and certificates for such Lions Gate Shares are not immediately available, the holder cannot complete the procedure for book-entry transfer on a timely basis, or the holder cannot deliver all other required documents to the Depositary or the U.S. Forwarding Agent no later than the Expiry Time, those Lions Gate Shares may nevertheless be deposited under the Offer provided that all of the following conditions are met:

The Notice of Guaranteed Delivery may be delivered by hand or transmitted by facsimile or mail to the Depositary at its office in Toronto, Ontario, Canada set out in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and must include a guarantee by an Eligible Institution in the form set out in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery. Delivery of the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and the Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal and accompanying Lions Gate Share certificates to any office other than such office of the Depositary does not constitute delivery for purposes of satisfying a guaranteed delivery.

In all cases, payment for Lions Gate Shares deposited and taken up by the Offeror will be made only after timely receipt by the Depositary or the U.S. Forwarding Agent of the certificates representing the Lions Gate Shares or book-entry transfer of Lions Gate Shares into the appropriate account, a Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, covering those Lions Gate Shares with the signatures guaranteed, if required, in accordance with the instructions set out in the Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal, or in the case of Lions Gate Shares deposited by book-entry transfer, a Book-Entry Confirmation and, in the case of DTC accounts, a Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, together with any required signature guarantees, or an Agent’s Message in lieu of a Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal, and any other required documents.

The method of delivery of certificates representing Lions Gate Shares, the Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal, the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery and all other required documents is at the option and risk of the Person depositing the same. The Offeror recommends that all such documents be delivered by hand to the Depositary or the U.S. Forwarding Agent and a receipt obtained or, if mailed, that registered mail, with return receipt requested, be used and that proper insurance be obtained.

Shareholders whose Lions Gate Shares are registered in the name of a nominee should contact their broker, dealer, bank, trust company or other nominee if they wish to accept the Offer.

All questions as to the validity, form, eligibility (including timely receipt) and acceptance of any Lions Gate Shares deposited pursuant to the Offer will be determined by the Offeror in its sole judgment. Depositing Shareholders agree that such determination shall be final and binding. The Offeror reserves the absolute right to reject any and all deposits which it determines not to be in proper form or which may be unlawful to accept under the laws of any applicable jurisdiction. The Offeror reserves the absolute right to waive any defects or irregularities in any deposit of any Lions Gate Shares. There shall be no duty or obligation on the Offeror, the Depositary, the U.S. Forwarding Agent or any other Person to give notice of any defects or irregularities in any deposit and no liability shall be incurred by any of them for failure to give any such notice. The Offeror’s interpretation of the terms and conditions of the Offer to Purchase and Circular, the Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal and the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery will be final and binding.

DEPOSITING SHAREHOLDERS WILL NOT BE OBLIGATED TO PAY ANY BROKERAGE FEE OR COMMISSION WITH RESPECT TO THE PURCHASE OF LIONS GATE SHARES BY THE OFFEROR PURSUANT TO THE OFFER, IF THEY ACCEPT THE OFFER BY DEPOSITING THEIR LIONS GATE SHARES DIRECTLY WITH THE DEPOSITARY OR THE U.S. FORWARDING AGENT. IF A DEPOSITING SHAREHOLDER OWNS LIONS GATE SHARES THROUGH A BROKER OR OTHER NOMINEE AND SUCH BROKER OR NOMINEE DEPOSITS LIONS GATE SHARES ON THE SHAREHOLDER’S BEHALF, THE BROKER OR NOMINEE MAY CHARGE A FEE FOR PERFORMING THIS SERVICE.

The execution of a Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal (or, in the case of Lions Gate Shares deposited by book-entry transfer, receipt by the Depositary of a Book-Entry Confirmation and, in the case of DTC accounts, an executed Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal or an Agent’s Message in lieu of a Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal), irrevocably appoints each officer of the Depositary and each officer of the Offeror and any other Person designated by the Offeror in writing as the true and lawful agents, attorneys and attorneys-in-fact and proxies of the holder of the Lions Gate Shares with respect to Lions Gate Shares registered in the name of the holder on the books of Lions Gate and deposited pursuant to the Offer and purchased by the Offeror (the “Purchased Securities”), and with respect to any and all dividends (other than certain cash dividends), distributions, payments, securities, rights, warrants, assets or other interests (collectively, “Other Securities”), which may be declared, paid, accrued, issued, distributed, made or transferred on or in respect of the Purchased Securities on or after the date of the Offer, except as otherwise indicated in Section 10 of the Offer to Purchase, “Changes in Capitalization; Dividends and Distributions; Liens”.

The power of attorney granted irrevocably upon execution of a Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal (or, in the case of Lions Gate Shares deposited by book-entry transfer, receipt by the Depositary of a Book-Entry Confirmation and, in the case of DTC accounts, an executed Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal or an Agent’s Message in lieu of a Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal), shall be effective on and after the date that the Offeror takes up and pays for Purchased Securities (the “Effective Date”), with full power of substitution and resubstitution in the name of and on behalf of such holder of Purchased Securities (such power of attorney, coupled with an interest, being irrevocable) to:

A holder of Lions Gate Shares who executes a Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal, or on whose behalf a Book-Entry Confirmation and, in the case of DTC accounts, an Agent’s Message is sent, also agrees, effective on and after the Effective Date, not to vote any of the Purchased Securities or Other Securities at any meeting (whether annual, special or otherwise or any adjournment thereof) of holders of Lions Gate Shares or holders of Other Securities and not to exercise any or all of the other rights or privileges attached to the Purchased Securities or Other Securities and agrees to execute and deliver to the Offeror any and all instruments of proxy, authorizations or consents, in form and on terms satisfactory to the Offeror, in respect of all or any of the Purchased Securities or Other Securities, and to designate in such instruments of proxy the Person or Persons specified by the Offeror as the proxy or the proxy nominee or nominees of the holder in respect of the Purchased Securities or Other Securities. Upon such appointment, all prior proxies given by the holder of such Purchased Securities or Other Securities with respect thereto shall be revoked and no subsequent proxies may be given by such Person with respect thereto.

A holder of Lions Gate Shares accepting the Offer covenants under the terms of the Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal to execute, upon request of the Offeror, any additional documents, transfers and other assurances as may be necessary or desirable to complete the sale, assignment and transfer of the Purchased Securities or Other Securities to the Offeror and acknowledges that all authority therein conferred or agreed to be conferred may be exercised during any subsequent legal incapacity of such holder and shall, to the extent permitted by law, survive the death or incapacity, bankruptcy or insolvency of the holder and all obligations of the holder therein shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns of such holder.

The acceptance of the Offer pursuant to the procedures set forth above constitutes an agreement between a depositing Shareholder and the Offeror in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Offer. This agreement includes a representation and warranty by the depositing Shareholder that:

Notwithstanding any other provision of the Offer and subject to applicable law, the Offeror shall have the right to withdraw the Offer and not take up and pay for, or extend the period of time during which the Offer is open for acceptance and postpone taking up and paying for, any Lions Gate Shares deposited under the Offer unless each of the following conditions is satisfied or waived by the Offeror prior to the Expiry Time:

The foregoing conditions are for the exclusive benefit of the Offeror and may be asserted by the Offeror regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any of the conditions (other than any intentional action or inaction by the Offeror giving rise to any such conditions) or may be waived by the Offeror in its reasonable discretion in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time, prior to the Expiry Time without prejudice to any other rights which the Offeror may have. Each of the foregoing conditions is independent of and in addition to each other of such conditions and may be asserted irrespective of whether any other of such conditions may be asserted in connection with any particular event, occurrence or state of facts or otherwise. The failure by the Offeror at any time prior to the Expiry Time to exercise any of the foregoing rights will not be deemed a waiver of any such right and each such right will be deemed an ongoing right which may be asserted by the Offeror at any time and from time to time prior to the Expiry Time. Any determination by the Offeror concerning any event or other matter described in the foregoing conditions will be final and binding upon all parties. If the Offeror waives any condition in respect of the Offer, the Offer will be extended for 10 business days from the date of such waiver.

Any waiver of a condition in respect of the Offer or the withdrawal of the Offer shall be effective upon written notice, or other communication confirmed in writing by the Offeror to that effect, to the Depositary at its principal office in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Forthwith after giving any such notice, the Offeror will make a public announcement of such waiver or withdrawal, cause the Depositary, if required by law, as soon as practicable thereafter to notify the Shareholders in the manner set forth in Section 11 of the Offer to Purchase, “Notices and Delivery”, and provide a copy of the aforementioned public announcement to the NYSE. If the Offer is withdrawn, the Offeror shall not be obligated to take up or pay for any Lions Gate Shares deposited under the Offer, and the Depositary will promptly return all certificates representing deposited Lions Gate Shares, Letters of Acceptance and Transmittal, Notices of Guaranteed Delivery and related documents in its possession to the parties by whom they were deposited at the Offeror’s expense. See Section 8 of the Offer to Purchase, “Return of Deposited Lions Gate Shares”.

The Offer is open for acceptance until the Expiry Time unless the Offer is withdrawn by the Offeror.

Subject as hereinafter described, the Offeror expressly reserves the right, in its sole judgment, at any time and from time to time during the Offer Period or at any other time if permitted by applicable law, to extend the Offer Period for the Offer or, subject to applicable laws, to vary the Offer by giving written notice, or other communication confirmed in writing, of such extension or variation to the Depositary at its principal office in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and by causing the Depositary as soon as practicable thereafter to communicate such notice to all holders of Lions Gate Shares that have not been taken up prior to the extension or variation in the manner set forth in Section 11 of the Offer to Purchase, “Notices and Delivery”. The Offeror will, as soon as practicable after giving notice of an extension or variation to the Depositary, make a public announcement of the extension or variation, such announcement in the case of an extension to be disseminated no later than 9:00 a.m., New York time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled Expiry Time, and will provide a copy of the notice to the NYSE. Any notice of extension or variation will be deemed to have been given and be effective at the time on the day on which it is delivered or otherwise communicated to the Depositary at its principal office in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the Expiry Time all of the terms and conditions of the Offer have been fulfilled, complied with or waived by the Offeror, the Offeror will take up Lions Gate Shares validly deposited under the Offer and not withdrawn.

Where the terms of the Offer are varied (other than a variation consisting solely of a waiver of condition of the Offer), pursuant to applicable Canadian securities laws, the Offer Period for the Offer will not expire before 10 calendar days after the notice of such variation has been given to the Shareholders unless otherwise permitted by applicable law and subject to abridgement or elimination of that period pursuant to such orders as may be granted by Canadian courts or applicable securities regulatory authorities. In addition, if the Offeror makes a material change in the terms of the Offer or the information concerning the Offer, or if it waives a material condition of the Offer, the Offeror will disseminate additional offer materials and extend the Offer to the extent required by Rules 14d-4(d), 14d-6(c) and 14e-1 under the Exchange Act. Under the Exchange Act, the minimum period during which an offer must remain open following material changes in the terms of such offer, other than a change in consideration offered or percentage of securities sought, will depend upon the facts and circumstances, including the materiality, of the changes. Generally, in the SEC’s view, an offer should remain open for a minimum of five business days from the date the material change is first published, sent or given to securityholders and, if material changes are made with respect to information that approaches the significance of consideration offered or percentage of securities sought, a minimum of 10 business days is required to allow for adequate dissemination of information to securityholders and investor response. Accordingly, if prior to the Expiry Time the Offeror increases or decreases the number of Lions Gate Shares being sought or increases or decreases the consideration offered pursuant to the Offer, and if the Offer is scheduled to expire at any time earlier than the tenth business day from the date that notice of such increase or decrease is first published, sent or given to Shareholders, the Offer will be extended at least until the expiration of such tenth business day. The requirement to extend the Offer will not apply to the extent that the number of business days remaining between the date that notice of the change is first published, sent or given to Shareholders and the then-scheduled Expiry Time equals or exceeds the minimum extension period that would be required because of such amendment. For purposes of this paragraph and the preceding paragraph, a “business day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or a U.S. federal holiday and consists of the time period between 12:01 a.m. through midnight (New York time).

If at any time before the Expiry Time, or at any time after the Expiry Time but before the expiry of all rights of withdrawal with respect to the Offer, a change occurs in the information contained in the Offer to Purchase and Circular, as amended from time to time, that would reasonably be expected to affect the decision of a Shareholder to accept or reject the Offer (other than a change that is not within the control of the Offeror or of an affiliate of the Offeror), the Offeror will give written notice of such change to the Depositary at its principal office in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, and will cause the Depositary to provide as soon as practicable thereafter a copy of such notice in the manner set forth in Section 11 of the Offer to Purchase, “Notices and Delivery”, to all Shareholders whose Lions Gate Shares have not been taken up pursuant to the Offer at the date of the occurrence of the change, if required by applicable law. The Offeror will as soon as practicable after giving notice of a change in information to the Depositary make a public announcement of the change in information and provide a copy of the public announcement to the NYSE. Any notice of change in information will be deemed to have been given and to be effective on the day on which it is delivered or otherwise communicated to the Depositary at its principal office in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

During any such extension or in the event of any such variation or change in information, all Lions Gate Shares deposited and not taken up or withdrawn will remain subject to the Offer and may be taken up by the Offeror in accordance with the terms of the Offer, subject to Section 6 of the Offer to Purchase, “Withdrawal of Deposited Lions Gate Shares”. An extension of the Offer Period for the Offer, a variation of the Offer or a change to information does not constitute a waiver by the Offeror of its rights under Section 4 of the Offer to Purchase, “Conditions of the Offer”.

Except as otherwise stated in Section 5, “Extension and Variation of the Offer”, and this Section 6 and subject to applicable law, all deposits of Lions Gate Shares pursuant to the Offer are irrevocable. Any Lions Gate Shares deposited in acceptance of the Offer may be withdrawn by or on behalf of the depositing Shareholder:

Withdrawals of Lions Gate Shares deposited under the Offer must be effected by notice of withdrawal made by or on behalf of the depositing Shareholder by whom or on whose behalf such Lions Gate Shares were deposited, and such notice must be actually received by the Depositary or U.S. Forwarding Agent, depending on with whom a Shareholder originally deposited Lions Gate Shares, at the place of deposit of the Lions Gate Shares within the time limits indicated above. A notice of withdrawal must:

If Lions Gate Shares have been deposited pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer as set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase, “Manner and Acceptance – Book-entry Transfer”, such notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at the Book-Entry Transfer Facility to be credited with the withdrawn Lions Gate Shares.

The withdrawal will take effect upon receipt by the Depositary or U.S. Forwarding Agent, as applicable, of the properly completed notice of withdrawal. For the purpose of obtaining physical possession of the deposited Lions Gate Share certificates so withdrawn, the signature on the notice of withdrawal must be guaranteed by an Eligible Institution in the same manner as on a Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal (as described in the instructions set out in such letter), except in the case of Lions Gate Shares deposited for the account of an Eligible Institution.

Withdrawals may not be rescinded and any Lions Gate Shares withdrawn will thereafter be deemed to be not validly deposited for purposes of the Offer. However, withdrawn Lions Gate Shares may be redeposited no later than the Expiry Time by again following one of the procedures described in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase, “Manner of Acceptance”. Once the Offeror accepts the deposited Lions Gate Shares for payment upon the expiration of the Offer (including the expiration of any extension thereof), Shareholders will no longer be able to withdraw them, except in accordance with applicable law.

If the Offeror extends the Offer, is delayed in taking up or paying for Lions Gate Shares or is unable to take up or pay for Lions Gate Shares for any reason, then, without prejudice to the Offeror’s other rights, Lions Gate Shares deposited under the Offer may be retained by the Depositary on behalf of the Offeror and such Lions Gate Shares may not be withdrawn except to the extent that depositing Shareholders are entitled to withdrawal rights as set forth in Section 5, “Extension and Variation of the Offer”, and in this Section 6 or pursuant to applicable law. However, the ability of the Offeror to delay the payment for Lions Gate Shares that the Offeror has taken up is limited by Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act, which requires that a bidder pay the consideration offered or return the securities deposited by or on behalf of securityholders promptly after the termination or withdrawal of such bidder’s offer. The Depositary, on behalf of the Offeror, is bound by Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act in retaining Lions Gate Shares under these circumstances.

In addition to the foregoing rights of withdrawal, Shareholders in certain provinces of Canada are entitled to one or more rights of rescission, price revision, or to damages, in certain circumstances. See Section 21 of the Circular, “Offerees’ Statutory Rights”.

All questions as to the validity (including timely receipt) and form of notices of withdrawal will be determined by the Offeror in its sole discretion, and such determination will be final and binding. None of the Offeror, the Depositary, the U.S. Forwarding Agent or any other Person will be under any duty to give notice of any defect or irregularity in any notice of withdrawal or shall incur any liability for failure to give such notice.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer (including, if the Offer is extended or amended, the terms and conditions of any such extension or amendment), the Offeror will take up Lions Gate Shares validly deposited under the Offer and not withdrawn prior to the Expiry Time pursuant to Section 6 of the Offer to Purchase, “Withdrawal of Deposited Lions Gate Shares”, promptly following the Expiry Time and, after such take up, will promptly, and in any event not later than three business days after such take up, pay for the Lions Gate Shares taken up pursuant to applicable law.

For purposes of the Offer, the Offeror will be deemed to have taken up and accepted for payment Lions Gate Shares validly deposited under the Offer and not withdrawn as, if and when the Offeror gives written notice or other communication confirmed in writing to the Depositary to that effect at its principal office in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.

Subject to applicable law, including Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act, which requires that the Offeror pay the consideration offered or return the applicable Lions Gate Shares deposited by or on behalf of Shareholders promptly after the termination of the Offer or withdrawal of the applicable Lions Gate Shares, the Offeror expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to delay or otherwise refrain from taking up and paying for any Lions Gate Shares or to terminate the Offer and not take up or pay for any Lions Gate Shares if any condition specified in Section 4 of the Offer to Purchase, “Conditions of the Offer”, in respect of the Offer is not satisfied or waived by the Offeror, by giving written notice thereof, or other communication confirmed in writing, to the Depositary at its principal office in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Subject to compliance with Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act, the Offeror also expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion and notwithstanding any other condition of the Offer, to delay taking up and paying for any Lions Gate Shares deposited under the Offer in order to comply, in whole or in part, with any applicable governmental regulatory approvals or clearances. See Section 4 of the Offer to Purchase, “Conditions of the Offer”. If, for any reason whatsoever, the take-up of any Lions Gate Shares deposited pursuant to the Offer is delayed, or the Offeror is unable to take up Lions Gate Shares deposited pursuant to the Offer, then, without prejudice to the Offeror’s other rights under the Offer, subject to applicable law, the Depositary may, nevertheless, on behalf of the Offeror, retain the deposited Lions Gate Shares, except to the extent that the depositing Shareholders exercise withdrawal rights as described in Section 6 of the Offer to Purchase, “Withdrawal of Deposited Lions Gate Shares”.

The Offeror will pay for Lions Gate Shares validly deposited under the Offer and not withdrawn by providing the Depositary with sufficient funds (by bank transfer or other means satisfactory to the Depositary) for transmittal to depositing Shareholders. The Depositary will act as the agent of Persons who have deposited Lions Gate Shares in acceptance of the Offer for the purposes of receiving payment from the Offeror and transmitting payment to such Persons, and receipt of payment by the Depositary shall be deemed to constitute receipt thereof by Persons depositing Lions Gate Shares. Under no circumstances will interest accrue or be paid by the Offeror or the Depositary to Persons depositing Lions Gate Shares on the purchase price of Lions Gate Shares purchased by the Offeror, regardless of any delay in making such payment.

Settlement with each Shareholder who has validly deposited Lions Gate Shares and not withdrawn Lions Gate Shares under the Offer will be made by the Depositary forwarding a check payable in U.S. funds (or, at the election of the Shareholder, the equivalent in Canadian funds) to each such Shareholder representing the cash payment for such Lions Gate Shares to which such Shareholder is entitled. Unless otherwise directed in the Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal, the check will be issued in the name of the registered holder of deposited Lions Gate Shares. Unless the Person depositing Lions Gate Shares instructs the Depositary to hold the check for pick-up by checking the appropriate box in the Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal, the check will be forwarded by first class mail to such Person at the address specified in the Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal. If no address is specified, checks will be forwarded to the address of the holder as shown on the share register maintained by or on behalf of the Company. Checks mailed in accordance with this paragraph will be deemed to have been delivered at the time of mailing.

If for any reason any deposited Lions Gate Shares are not taken up and paid for pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Offer or if certificates are submitted for more Lions Gate Shares than are deposited, certificates for Lions Gate Shares that are not purchased will be returned by first class mail, without expense to the depositing Shareholder, promptly following the Expiry Time or withdrawal and early termination of the Offer. Unless otherwise directed in the Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal, certificates representing unpurchased Lions Gate Shares will be forwarded to the address of the registered owner as shown on the share register maintained by or on behalf of the Company.

Notwithstanding the provisions of the Offer to Purchase and Circular, the Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal or the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, checks, Lions Gate Share certificates and any other relevant documents will not be mailed if the Offeror determines that delivery thereof by mail may be delayed. Persons entitled to checks, Lions Gate Share certificates and any other relevant documents which are not mailed for the foregoing reason may take delivery thereof at the office of the Depositary to which the deposited certificates for Lions Gate Shares were delivered until such time as the Offeror has determined that delivery by mail will no longer be delayed. The Offeror will provide notice of any determination not to mail under this Section 9 as soon as reasonably practicable after the making of such determination and in accordance with Section 11 of the Offer to Purchase, “Notices and Delivery”. Notwithstanding Section 7 of the Offer to Purchase, “Take Up of and Payment for Deposited Lions Gate Shares”, checks, certificates or other relevant documents not mailed for the foregoing reason will be conclusively deemed to have been mailed on the first day upon which they are available for delivery to the depositing Shareholder at the appropriate office of the Depositary.

If, on or after the date of the Offer, the Company should divide, combine, reclassify, consolidate, convert or otherwise change the Lions Gate Shares or its capitalization, or should disclose that it has taken or intends to take any such action, then the Offeror may, in its sole discretion and without prejudice to its rights under Section 4 of the Offer to Purchase, “Conditions of the Offer”, make such adjustments as it deems appropriate to reflect such division, combination, reclassification, consolidation, conversion or other change in the purchase price or other terms of the Offer (including, without limitation, the type of securities offered to be purchased and the consideration payable therefor).

Lions Gate Shares acquired pursuant to the Offer shall be transferred by the holder of Lions Gate Shares and acquired by the Offeror free and clear of all liens, restrictions, charges, encumbrances, security interests, claims and equities or rights of others of any nature or kind whatsoever and together with all rights and benefits arising therefrom, including (subject to the payment of dividends as described below) the right to all Other Securities which may be declared, paid, issued, accrued, distributed, made or transferred on or after the date of the Offer in respect of the Lions Gate Shares.

If, on or after the date of the Offer, the Company should declare or pay any dividend or declare, make or pay any other distribution or payment on or declare, allot, reserve or issue any securities, rights or other interests with respect to the Lions Gate Shares, that is payable or distributable to the holders of such Lions Gate Shares on a record date that precedes the date of transfer of such Lions Gate Shares into the name of the Offeror or its nominees or transferees on the share register maintained by or on behalf of the Company in respect of Lions Gate Shares accepted for purchase pursuant to the Offer, then without prejudice to the Offeror’s rights under Section 4 of the Offer to Purchase, “Conditions of the Offer”:

The declaration or payment of any such dividend or distribution may have tax consequences not discussed under “Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” or “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” in Sections 15 and 16 of the Circular, respectively.

Except as otherwise provided in the Offer, any notice to be given by the Offeror or the Depositary pursuant to the Offer will be deemed to have been properly given if it is in writing and is mailed by first class mail to Shareholders at their respective addresses as shown on the share register maintained by or on behalf of the Company in respect of the Lions Gate Shares and will be deemed to have been received on the first business day following the date of mailing. For this purpose, “business day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or statutory holiday in the jurisdiction to which the notice is mailed. These provisions apply notwithstanding any accidental omission to give notice to any one or more Shareholders and notwithstanding any interruption of, or delay in, mail services in Canada or in the United States following mailing. In the event of any interruption of or delay in mail service in Canada or the United States following mailing, the Offeror intends to make reasonable efforts to disseminate notice by other means, such as publication. Except as otherwise required or permitted by law, in the event of any interruption of or delay in mail services following mailing, or if post offices in Canada or the United States are not open for the deposit of mail, any notice which the Offeror or the Depositary may give or cause to be given under the Offer will be deemed to have been properly given and to have been received by Shareholders if a summary of the material facts thereof:

The Offer to Purchase and Circular and the Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal and Notice of Guaranteed Delivery will be mailed to Shareholders or made in such other manner as is permitted by applicable regulatory authorities and the Offeror will use its reasonable efforts to furnish such documents to brokers, banks and similar Persons whose names, or the names of whose nominees, appear on the Shareholder list or, if applicable, who are listed as participants in a clearing agency’s security position listing, for subsequent transmission to beneficial owners of Lions Gate Shares when such list or listing is received.

Whenever the Offer calls for documents to be delivered to the Depositary or the U.S. Forwarding Agent, such documents will not be considered delivered unless and until they have been physically received at one of the addresses listed for the Depositary or the U.S. Forwarding Agent in the Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal or Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, as applicable. Whenever the Offer calls for documents to be delivered to a particular office of the Depositary or the U.S. Forwarding Agent, such documents will not be considered delivered unless and until they have been physically received at that particular office at the address listed in the Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal or Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, as applicable.

None of the Offeror or its affiliates (within the meaning ascribed thereto in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act) will, directly or indirectly, bid for or make purchases of Lions Gate Shares until the expiry of the Offer other than Lions Gate Shares deposited pursuant to the Offer.

No broker, dealer or other Person has been authorized to give any information or to make any representation or warranty on behalf of the Offeror or any of its affiliates in connection with the Offer other than as contained in the Offer to Purchase and Circular, the Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal and the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, and, if any such information, representation or warranty is given or made, it must not be relied upon as having been authorized. No broker, dealer or other Person shall be deemed to be the agent of the Offeror or any of its affiliates or the Depositary or the U.S. Forwarding Agent for the purposes of the Offer.

The Offer to Purchase and Circular do not constitute an offer or a solicitation to any Person in any jurisdiction in which such offer or solicitation is unlawful. The Offer is not being made to, nor will deposits be accepted from or on behalf of, Shareholders in any jurisdiction in which the making or acceptance of the Offer would not be in compliance with the laws of such jurisdiction. However, the Offeror or its agents may, in its or their sole discretion, take such action as it or they may deem necessary to extend the Offer to Shareholders in any such jurisdiction.

The Offeror in its sole discretion shall be entitled to make a final and binding determination of all questions relating to the Offer to Purchase and Circular, the Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal and the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, the validity of any acceptance of the Offer and the validity of any withdrawal of Lions Gate Shares.

The provisions of the Circular, the Letter of Acceptance and Transmittal and the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery accompanying the Offer to Purchase, including the instructions contained therein, form part of the terms and conditions of the Offer.

The Offer to Purchase and the accompanying Circular together constitute the take-over bid circular required under Canadian provincial securities legislation with respect to the Offer. Shareholders are urged to refer to the accompanying Circular for additional information relating to the Offer, the Company and the Offeror.

The Offeror has filed with the SEC a Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO pursuant to Rule 14d-3 of the Exchange Act, together with exhibits furnishing additional information with respect to the Offer, and may file amendments thereto. In addition, the Company is required to file with the SEC a Tender Offer Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9, together with exhibits, pursuant to Rule 14d-9 under the Exchange Act, setting forth the position of the Company’s board of directors with respect to the Offer and the reasons for such position and furnishing additional related information within 10 business days of the date of the Offer to Purchase and Circular. A copy of such documents, and any amendments thereto, may be examined at, and copies may be obtained from, the SEC (but not the regional offices of the SEC) in the manner set forth under Section 2 of the Circular, “Lions Gate”.

According to Lions Gate’s Form 10-K filed on June 1, 2010, as at May 21, 2010 Lions Gate had outstanding 118,108,487 Lions Gate Shares and as at March 31, 2010 an additional approximately 28,578,000 Lions Gate Shares would be issued and outstanding assuming conversion of the then outstanding principal amount of the Notes and the 2025 Notes of April 2009 and the issuance of shares then issuable upon exercise of options and upon vesting of restricted share units. Also based on Lions Gate’s public disclosure, as at March 31, 2010, Lions Gate had outstanding no Preference Shares, which include the Series A Shares and the Series B Shares.

The Lions Gate Shares are listed on the NYSE under the symbol “LGF”. As of March 23, 2010, Lions Gate disclosed that its directors and senior officers had knowledge of certain Shareholders, including the Offeror, directly or indirectly, beneficially owning or exercising control or direction over 10% or more of the outstanding Lions Gate Shares as set forth in the table below.

Lions Gate disclosed on its Form 8-K filed with the SEC on June 25, 2010 that on June 22, 2010 it amended the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement and the Revolving Film Credit Agreement to define a “change in control” to include, subject to certain limited exceptions, an acquisition whereby a person or group acquires ownership or control in excess of 50% of Lions Gate’s equity securities having voting power to vote in the election of the board of directors of Lions Gate. In addition, the Revolving Credit Agreement and the Revolving Film Credit Agreement, as amended, provide that the following, among other events, trigger a “change in control”: (i) if at any time, individuals who as of July 28, 2008 constituted the board of directors of Lions Gate (together with any new directors whose election by the board of directors or whose nomination for election by the Shareholders was approved by a vote of the

majority of directors then still in office who were either directors as of July 28, 2008 or whose election or nomination was previously so approved) cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the board of directors of Lions Gate, and (ii) if either (a) both Jon Feltheimer and Michael Burns or (b) all four of Joseph Drake, Steven Beeks, Kevin Beggs and Michael Paseornek ceases for any reason (including termination, death or disability) to materially perform the functions and services they perform for Lions Gate and Lions Gate fails for a period of 90 consecutive days afterwards to replace such person with a replacement acceptable to the lenders holding at least 51% of the total credit exposure under these credit facilities.

The Revolving Credit Agreement and the Revolving Film Credit Agreement both provide that a “change in control” would be an event of default that permits the lenders to accelerate the repayment of borrowings under those facilities and to enforce security interests in the collateral securing such debt. Lions Gate has stated that as of April 16, 2010 it had borrowings of approximately U.S.$60 million outstanding under the Revolving Credit Agreement and borrowings of approximately U.S.$37.9 million outstanding under the Revolving Film Credit Agreement. In addition, Lions Gate has stated that if the borrowings under the Revolving Credit Agreement and the Revolving Film Credit Agreement were accelerated following an event of default that is not waived or cured, holders of the Notes, the 2025 Notes of April 2009 and the Second Lien Notes would have the right to accelerate the debts thereunder.

In addition, each of the (i) 2024 Notes, (ii) 2025 Notes, and (iii) 2025 Notes of April 2009 become subject, upon a “change of control”, to the right of the holders of the notes to require LGEI to repurchase the notes at 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, and, in certain circumstances, a make whole premium. Under the terms of the Second Lien Notes, upon the occurrence of a “change of control”, LGEI must make an offer to purchase all of the Second Lien Notes at a purchase price in cash equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Second Lien Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest. Under the terms of each of the foregoing notes, a “change of control” includes the acquisition of beneficial ownership, directly or indirectly, by any person or group of more than 50% of the total voting power of the Lions Gate Shares. A “change of control” under the terms of any of the foregoing notes would also result in a default under the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement and Revolving Film Credit Agreement. Lions Gate has stated that as of April 16, 2010, U.S.$236.0 million principal amount of the Second Lien Notes and U.S.$236.1 million aggregate principal amount of the Notes and the 2025 Notes of April 2009 were outstanding, and that Lions Gate’s consolidated total indebtedness was approximately U.S.$861.8 million.

If Lions Gate’s lenders and noteholders were to elect to declare events of default relating to the change of control provisions and an acceleration occurs, it will not be a condition allowing the Offeror to withdraw the Offer. If such an acceleration occurs, the Icahn Group believes that Lions Gate will need to immediately secure a replacement source of funding in order to continue to operate its business and avoid bankruptcy. The Icahn Group believes this is a problem of Lions Gate’s own making – had the board of directors not agreed to these controversial “poison put” provisions, the Company would not now be facing this very difficult situation. As previously stated, the Icahn Group intends to hold the board responsible for any costs and damages the Company might incur from having to obtain emergency financing to alleviate this situation.

The foregoing description of Lions Gate’s indebtedness is qualified in its entirety by reference to the definitive documents governing that indebtedness, copies of which have been filed by Lions Gate with the SEC. The Offeror takes no responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of those filings.

Lions Gate has stated in its Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 filed with the SEC on March 12, 2010 that upon a change in control of Lions Gate (as defined in each respective employment agreement), the stock options, stock appreciation rights and time-based restricted share units granted to each of Jon Feltheimer, Michael Burns, Steven Beeks, Joseph Drake and Wayne Levin, each an executive officer of Lions Gate, under their respective employment agreements would vest.

In addition, in the case of each of Messrs. Feltheimer and Burns, the next installment of their respective performance-based stock units scheduled to vest following the change in control would continue to vest. Each of Messrs. Feltheimer and Burns would also be entitled to payment of the applicable amount of their respective stock price bonus if the price of Lions Gate Shares as of the change in control exceeds certain thresholds for the stock-price bonuses.

Lions Gate has stated that in the event that the benefits payable to Mr. Feltheimer in connection with a change in control would be subject to the excise tax imposed under Section 280G of the Code, Mr. Feltheimer’s benefits would either be reduced to a level such that the excise tax would not apply or he would be paid the full amount of his benefits and would receive a gross-up payment from Lions Gate up to a maximum of U.S.$150,000, whichever would result in his receiving the greater benefit on an after-tax basis.

Lions Gate also indicated that if Mr. Feltheimer’s employment is terminated by Lions Gate without “cause” in connection with a change in control, Mr. Feltheimer would be entitled to a cash payment of U.S.$2,500,000 and to severance pay of continued payments of his base salary for the remainder of the employment period. Additionally, if a change in control occurs and Mr. Feltheimer voluntarily terminates his employment within the 30-day period following the change in control, he would be entitled to a cash payment of U.S.$2,500,000, but would not be entitled to any continued payment of his base salary. If Mr. Burns’ employment is terminated by Lions Gate without “cause” in connection with a change in control or Mr. Burns elects to resign within a 15-day period following a change in control, Mr. Burns would be entitled to severance pay equal to the greater of continued payments of his base salary for the remainder of the employment period or U.S.$1,800,000. If Mr. Beeks’ employment is terminated by Lions Gate without “cause” within six months of a change of control, Mr. Beeks would be entitled to severance pay equal to the greater of continued payment of 50% of his base salary for the remainder of the employment period or U.S.$1,500,000. If Mr. Drake’s employment is terminated by Lions Gate without “cause” or Mr. Drake terminates for “good reason” within six months of a change of control, Mr. Drake would be entitled to severance pay equal to the greater of continued payment of 50% of his base salary for the remainder of the employment period or U.S.$1,700,000, and payment of each bonus based on EBITDA (as defined in Mr. Drake’s employment agreement) targets of Lions Gate that would have been earned through the end of the term. If Mr. Levin’s employment is terminated by Lions Gate without “cause” or Mr. Levin terminates for “good reason,” Mr. Levin would be entitled to a cash payment of U.S.$1,000,000 and to severance pay equal to his base salary for the remainder of the employment period.

The “change in control” provision in each of Messrs. Feltheimer, Burns, Beeks, Drake and Levin’s employment agreements was purportedly triggered when the Icahn Group acquired more than 33% of the Lions Gate Shares. Certain executive officers and directors of Lions Gate disclosed in public filings that they have received Lions Gate Shares upon the accelerated vesting of underlying share units. In the event that the aforementioned executive officers exercise any other of their respective “change in control” rights under their respective employment agreements, it would not be a condition allowing the Offeror to withdraw the Offer.

Lions Gate has also stated in its Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 that Lions Gate’s 2004 Performance Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”) grants the administrator of the 2004 Plan the discretion, in the event of a change in control, to provide that any outstanding option or stock appreciation rights shall become fully vested, that any share of restricted stock then outstanding shall fully vest free of restrictions, and that any other award granted under the 2004 Plan that is then outstanding shall be payable to the holder of such award. The 2004 Plan defines a “change in control” to generally include the acquisition by any individual, entity or group (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) or 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Exchange Act) of, among other things, 30% or more of the Lions Gate Shares. The “change in control” provision in the 2004 Plan was purportedly triggered when the Icahn Group acquired more than 30% of the Lions Gate Shares. Certain executive officers and directors of Lions Gate disclosed in public filings

that they have received Lions Gate Shares upon the accelerated vesting of restricted share units. In the event that the administrator of the 2004 Plan exercises any other of its “change in control” rights under the 2004 Plan, it would not be a condition allowing the Offeror to withdraw the Offer.

The above summary and description of the employment agreements and the 2004 Plan are qualified in their entirety by reference to the definitive documents governing such agreements and plan, copies of which have been filed by Lions Gate with the SEC. The Offeror takes no responsibility for the completeness of those filings.

The Offer may limit the ability of Lions Gate to use U.S. federal income net operating loss carry forwards. The Form 10-K of Lions Gate for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010 states that, as of March 31, 2010, Lions Gate had U.S. net operating loss carry forwards of approximately U.S.$156.2 million and that Lions Gate “expects the future utilization of [Lions Gate’s] U.S. NOLs to offset future taxable income will be subject to a substantial annual limitation as a result of ownership changes that have occurred previously or that could occur in the future.” Subject to certain limitations, net operating loss carry forwards generally may be used to offset future taxable income and thereby reduce U.S. federal income taxes otherwise payable. Section 382 of the Code imposes an annual limitation on the ability of a corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” to use its net operating loss carry forwards to reduce its tax liability. The U.S. subsidiaries of Lions Gate may have experienced “ownership changes” as defined in Section 382 of the Code in the past. In addition, the Offer, if consummated, may result in an “ownership change” of the U.S. subsidiaries of Lions Gate. Any limitation on the use of net operating loss carry forwards resulting from an ownership change in the past and/or the consummation of the Offer could increase the U.S. federal income tax liability of the U.S. subsidiaries of Lions Gate. Limitations similar to Section 382 of the Code may apply to Lions Gate’s U.S. state and local net operating loss carry forwards.

The Company’s registered and records office is located at 1055 West Hastings Street, Suite 2200, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 2E9, and its principal executive offices are located at 1055 West Hastings Street, Suite 2200, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 2E9, and 2700 Colorado Avenue, Suite 200, Santa Monica, California, 90404. The telephone number at the Company’s corporate head office and principal executive office in Vancouver, British Columbia is (877) 848-3866, and the telephone number at the Company’s principal executive office in Santa Monica, California is (310) 449-9200.

The Icahn Group began acquiring Lions Gate Shares on January 3, 2006 in the belief that such shares were undervalued. From time to time throughout the Icahn Group’s ownership of Lions Gate Shares, representatives of the Icahn Group have had discussions with the Chief Executive Officer, the Vice Chairman and other representatives of Lions Gate regarding various matters and intend from time to time to seek to continue to have discussions with representatives of Lions Gate.

On or about the last week of February in 2009, Carl Icahn and Brett Icahn (the “Icahns”) had discussions with Michael Burns, the Vice Chairman of Lions Gate, regarding the possibility of having a number of the Icahns’ designees added to the board of directors of Lions Gate. In addition to general concerns regarding growing overhead expenses and increasing exposure to internally developed higher-profile theatrical releases, the Icahns were concerned about Lions Gate’s acquisition strategy, including the recent acquisition of TV Guide Network, a distressed cable network with significant exposure to advertising, which Lions Gate executed in the midst of a financial crisis, using a high percentage of Lions Gate’s available cash. The Icahns believed that they should seek board representation in order to protect the value of the Icahn Group’s investment. Lions Gate proposed providing multiple board seats to the Icahn Group. However, an agreement could not be reached and all related discussions were terminated on March 11, 2009. The principal point of disagreement between the parties was that Lions Gate would not agree to hold other large Shareholders whose designees Lions Gate might agree in the future to put on its

board to the same standstill restrictions that Lions Gate demanded to apply to the Icahn Group. Lions Gate subsequently entered into an agreement on July 9, 2009 (the “Rachesky Agreement”) with Mark H. Rachesky (“Rachesky”), a large Shareholder who had publicly expressed support for management and its strategies, pursuant to which he joined Lions Gate’s board of directors and was granted registration rights (to enable him to sell his shares in a public offering if he wished to do so) and certain “most favored nation” and other rights. Unlike the agreement that Lions Gate demanded from the Icahn Group, the Rachesky Agreement contained no standstill provisions.

On March 20, 2009, the Icahn Group commenced a tender offer to purchase for cash any and all of the outstanding 2024 Notes and 2025 Notes. The Icahn Group had originally begun acquiring the Notes in the belief that they were a good investment and launched the tender offer in the belief that it represented an opportunity to increase the Icahn Group’s investment in the debt of Lions Gate with limited risk. In response to this offer, the board of directors of Lions Gate announced on March 26, 2009 that it was remaining neutral and would express no opinion on the offer. However, on April 20, 2009, the initial expiration date of the Icahn Group’s tender offer, Lions Gate announced that LGEI had entered into “Refinancing Exchange Agreements” with certain large holders of the 2025 Notes, pursuant to which those holders would exchange their old 2025 Notes for new 2025 Notes with more favorable terms, including an increased conversion rate and a larger “make whole” premium (without bestowing these benefits on the remaining, smaller holders of the old 2025 Notes), in exchange for such large holders’ agreement not to tender any of their 2024 Notes into the Icahn Group’s tender offer. On several occasions, the Icahns told Mr. Burns that this maneuver by Lions Gate not only disadvantaged small holders and was unnecessarily costly to Lions Gate, but was reprehensible in that its only purpose was to serve to entrench management and the current board. The Icahn Group’s tender offer for the Notes expired on May 1, 2009.

During the first week of May 2009, the Icahn Group learned that Lions Gate had filed an application on April 24, 2009 with the British Columbia Securities Commission (the “BCSC”) to cease to be a reporting issuer in Canada. It is the Icahn Group’s belief that this application was filed in an attempt to make it easier for Lions Gate to implement and maintain a shareholder rights plan (commonly known as a “poison pill”). The Icahn Group submitted a letter to the BCSC on May 8, 2009 opposing Lions Gate’s effort and Lions Gate’s application was ultimately rejected by the BCSC.

In May and June of 2009, Mr. Burns and the Icahns spoke and met on several occasions regarding MGM Studios. Mr. Burns asked whether the Icahns might be interested in providing financing for a potential acquisition of MGM Studios by Lions Gate. The Icahns told Mr. Burns that they might be interested in providing such financing, but only if (i) Lions Gate were to be able to acquire MGM Studios at an attractive enough valuation and (ii) any such acquisition were to be financed without Lions Gate incurring an excessive amount of indebtedness. The parties discussed various related matters, including the distressed situation of MGM Studios, the fact that the Icahns owned debt of MGM Studios (which they had been acquiring in early November of 2008), the possibility of the Icahns providing Lions Gate with a financing commitment, and possible confidentiality agreements that Lions Gate might require, but no understandings were reached.

On February 11, 2010, the Icahns contacted Mr. Burns via telephone and told him they were considering the possibility of increasing the Icahn Group’s interest in Lions Gate to approximately 29.9% of the outstanding Lions Gate Shares in order to increase the Icahn Group’s voice regarding matters related to Lions Gate’s potentially ill-advised M&A activities. Under applicable law, such purchase would be required to be made by tender offer.

Mr. Burns attempted to dissuade the Icahns from commencing a tender offer, citing, among other things, potential problems with a “change in control” provision under Lions Gate’s senior revolving credit facility. Mr. Burns stated that Lions Gate’s senior revolving credit facility provides that a change of control, which then included a person or group acquiring ownership or control in excess of 20% of the

Lions Gate Shares, could trigger an event of default that would permit lenders to accelerate the maturity of borrowings under that credit facility. Mr. Burns stated further that such an event could also result in a cross-default and the acceleration of the payment obligation under the senior and convertible senior subordinated note obligations of LGEI, which are guaranteed by Lions Gate. The Icahns responded by explaining that it was their understanding that any such event of default could be avoided through a waiver by the lenders under the senior revolving credit facility or through Lions Gate’s prepayment and elimination of the senior revolving credit facility, but that in any event they would not condition any tender offer on the occurrence of such a default.

The Icahn Group believes that the change of control provision contained in the senior revolving credit facility may be viewed as a disguised poison pill which disenfranchises Shareholders, and commentators have questioned the legitimacy of such provisions generally and the Lions Gate provision specifically. For example, in a 2009 BusinessWeek article, which derisively referred to this takeover defense tactic as “the banker made me do it” defense, Chris Young, the director of mergers and acquisitions research for the shareholder advisory firm RiskMetrics Group, was quoted as stating that such change of control provisions “are designed to deter a proxy fight.” The same article posed the following question: “Is the movie studio Lions Gate Entertainment using a loan covenant to fend off Icahn? When JPMorgan Chase extended Lions Gate’s revolving line of credit last year, the terms included a provision that triggers instant repayment if an investor buys more than 20% of the company’s stock.” The article concluded as follows: “Shareholder activist Nell Minow says companies shouldn’t use such loan covenants if they disenfranchise stockholders. She says: ‘These are shareholder rights that can’t be negotiated away by someone else.’”^* On June 22, 2010, the senior revolving credit facility was amended to, among other things, increase to 50% the percentage ownership that triggers instant repayment.

Mr. Burns stated that he wished to continue discussions with the Icahns. Therefore, a meeting was arranged between the Icahns and Mr. Burns for February 14, 2010 at which Mr. Burns again attempted to dissuade the Icahns from commencing a tender offer. Mr. Burns asked the Icahns if there was any way to convince them that a tender offer was not necessary and to enter into to a standstill agreement with Lions Gate. In response, the Icahns discussed with Mr. Burns the following list of corporate governance provisions that they would like to see adopted by Lions Gate in order to protect their investment.

(1) The parties discussed the possibility of Lions Gate acknowledging that it would not engage in any acquisition of assets valued above $200 million without an affirmative vote of a meaningful percentage of the outstanding Lions Gate Shares (the percentage suggested by the Icahns was 40%). As Carl Icahn explained in an interview on CNBC on February 18, 2010, the Icahn Group is not opposed to Lions Gate making a major acquisition. However, the Icahn Group believes that management should give Shareholders the right to approve of material acquisitions.

(2) To further ensure financial discipline, the Icahns suggested that a designee of the Icahn Group be put on the board of directors,^** and that this designee sit on the board’s Strategic

Committee (the committee on the board tasked with evaluating M&A opportunities - currently a committee on which Rachesky sits), and that the Icahn Group should receive all the other rights that were granted to Rachesky under the Rachesky Agreement.

(3) To add another layer of protection, the Icahns suggested that Lions Gate state in its bylaws that (i) if a rights offering were to be conducted by Lions Gate in order to raise equity to help fund an acquisition, all Shareholders would be invited to participate in any such offering on a pro rata basis and (ii) in the event that any such rights offering were to be backstopped, Lions Gate would not favor certain holders but rather would permit each holder of a substantial percentage of Lions Gate Shares (the percentage suggested by the Icahn Group was 10%) to compete to provide that backstop.

(4) Because Lions Gate’s overhead and the capital intensity of wide releases for internally developed and produced films (as opposed to lower risk film acquisitions) continued to concern the Icahn Group, the Icahns suggested that the Icahn Group’s designee also sit on two new board committees created specifically for the purpose of addressing these two concerns: the first committee would be authorized to seek to reduce corporate overhead by retaining a third-party consultant (reporting directly back to that committee, not to management) that would be tasked with performing a detailed, top-to-bottom analysis of the organizational structure of the Company; and the second committee would be authorized to evaluate capital expenditures on developing and producing content, specifically a detailed breakdown and forecast of the cash flow statement line item “Investment in films and television programs” which amounted to $558 million in fiscal year 2009.

On February 15, 2010, at the request of Mr. Burns, Brett Icahn emailed to Mr. Burns the list of key points that the parties had discussed the day before (outlined above). However, the Icahns were concerned that these discussions were simply delaying tactics designed to give Lions Gate time to sabotage a potential tender offer, possibly by issuing stock to another large shareholder. Therefore, the Icahns told Mr. Burns that there could be no further delay in the commencement of a tender offer unless Mr. Burns agreed in writing that Lions Gate would not engage in any stock issuances prior to February 20, 2010 while these discussions were taking place. Mr. Burns stated that Lions Gate had no intention of issuing any stock while these discussions were taking place. Brett Icahn then emailed to Mr. Burns a draft letter which would have memorialized this acknowledgment. The Icahns told Mr. Burns that, while they believed him, it was very important that this letter be signed by Lions Gate immediately in that the Icahn Group had determined not to delay the tender offer any further unless the signed letter was received. During the late evening of February 15, 2010, James Cole, Jr. of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, an attorney representing Lions Gate, called Jesse Lynn, an in-house attorney representing the Icahn Group, and asked for clarification of certain language contained in this draft letter. After discussion, Mr. Cole informed Mr. Lynn that he was not sure whether Lions Gate would be responding to the Icahns that evening. Based on that conversation, Brett Icahn called Mr. Burns and told him that the Icahn Group would be announcing the commencement of a tender offer the next day unless the Icahns received a response.

On February 16, 2010, having received no response from Lions Gate, the Icahn Group issued a press release announcing its intention to commence the Initial Offer.

The Icahn Group determined to commence the Initial Offer in order to increase its shareholdings in Lions Gate in the hope of having a greater opportunity to participate in decisions regarding major acquisitions and other matters that will affect all Shareholders, including the ability to oppose any proposal to move

Lions Gate from Canada. The Icahn Group’s press release stated that the Initial Offer would be conditioned on, among other customary conditions, Lions Gate not entering into any material transaction outside of the ordinary course of business (including any acquisition of assets over U.S.$100 million, and any issuance of securities other than upon the exercise of currently outstanding options). The press release also stated that the Initial Offer would not be subject to financing. Additionally, the press release stated that if an event of default or acceleration occurred under Lions Gate’s senior revolving credit facility as a result of the Initial Offer, it would not be a condition allowing the Icahn Group to withdraw the Initial Offer.

On February 17, 2010, Lions Gate filed a shelf registration statement with the SEC that would allow it to sell, from time to time, up to U.S.$750 million in Lions Gate Shares, certain debt securities, or a combination thereof.

On February 22, 2010, the Icahns spoke with Mr. Burns regarding the Initial Offer. Mr. Burns stated that he had spoken with JP Morgan, the Administrative Agent under Lions Gate’s senior revolving credit facility, and JP Morgan would only consent to increase the “change in control” trigger in the credit facility from 20% to 25%. Mr. Burns stated that he believed that it would be appropriate for Rachesky to increase his ownership position to close to 25% of the outstanding Lions Gate Shares and suggested that Mr. Icahn sell, at the conclusion of the Initial Offer, 5% of the outstanding Lions Gate Shares to Rachesky, thus leaving the Icahn Group and Rachesky each with a position of less than 25% of the outstanding Lions Gate Shares. Mr. Icahn stated that he had no interest in entering into any such arrangement. Mr. Icahn also stated that he didn’t believe JP Morgan would allow the revolving credit facility to go into default as a result of the Initial Offer and that if they were really willing to increase the “change in control” trigger to 25% he saw no reason why they wouldn’t go to 30%. In addition, Mr. Icahn pointed out that Lions Gate could always avoid such a default by prepaying and eliminating the senior revolving credit facility, which might be the best thing for the Company in any event. Mr. Burns also stated to Mr. Icahn that Lions Gate might seek to achieve the same goal by engaging in a stock issuance after the conclusion of the Initial Offer, which would have the effect of reducing the Icahn Group’s percentage ownership of outstanding Lions Gate Shares (as well as that of other Shareholders).

Mr. Burns again told the Icahns that Lions Gate was actively researching ways in which Lions Gate could exit Canada and relocate the Company to another jurisdiction, acknowledging that he understood that Mr. Icahn preferred that Lions Gate remain in Canada.

The Icahns explained to Mr. Burns that the Icahn Group was in the process of preparing the documents necessary to commence the Initial Offer, and expressed their view that a lot of time and money could be saved by conducting the tender offer process in a friendly, rather than a hostile and litigious manner. Carl Icahn stated that he was aware that Lions Gate had retained Morgan Stanley, as financial advisor, and Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, as legal advisor, and was of the opinion that a fight was unnecessary and would result only in higher fees for these advisors. Mr. Icahn stated that Lions Gate could review a proposed draft to be included in the “Background” and “Purpose” sections of the Initial Offer that would reflect the recent discussions of the parties, with the goal of having Lions Gate confirm that it accurately reflected in all material respects the discussions that had taken place among the parties, so as to avoid potential disputes over that language. Mr. Burns stated that he was not trying to create an expensive fight and that he would review the draft disclosure and get back to Mr. Icahn. Ultimately, Mr. Burns sent an email response to Brett Icahn, in which he stated: “We reviewed this document and we can’t agree to it because it omits material facts.” In the absence of such confirmation from Mr. Burns, the Offeror has included the above more detailed disclosure regarding such discussions.

On March 1, 2010, the Icahn Group commenced the Initial Offer for up to 13,164,420 Lions Gate Shares for U.S.$6.00 cash per Lions Gate Share. The Initial Offer was subsequently amended to, among other things, (i) increase the number of Lions Gate Shares offered to be purchased to up to all of the issued and outstanding Lions Gate Shares, (ii) increase the offer price to U.S.$7.00 cash per Lions Gate Share and (iii) add 7508921 Canada Inc. and Ronald G. Atkey, in his capacity as the sole trustee of the LGE Trust, as offerors.

During the Initial Offer, on March 12, 2010, Lions Gate announced that its board of directors had adopted the Initial Poison Pill. Although the adoption of the Initial Poison Pill by Lions Gate resulted in the failure of conditions under the Initial Offer, the Icahn Group determined not to terminate the Initial Offer and instead to continue with the Initial Offer. The Icahn Group pursued legal proceedings to set aside the Initial Poison Pill, and on April 27, 2010, the BCSC issued a “cease-trade order” with respect to the Initial Poison Pill. Lions Gate subsequently filed an application for leave to appeal to the British Columbia Court of Appeal (the “BC Court”) on April 28, 2010. On May 7, 2010, the BC Court heard Lions Gate’s application for leave to appeal and the appeal itself. The BC Court granted leave to appeal and on appeal upheld the decision of the BCSC to cease-trade the Initial Poison Pill.

On June 8, 2010, the Icahn Group received approval from the Minister of Canadian Heritage under the Investment Canada Act (Canada) to acquire control of the Canadian business carried on by Lions Gate. In connection with obtaining this approval, the Icahn Group made certain commitments to the Minister of Canadian Heritage (the “Undertakings”), including the divestiture of Lions Gate’s interest in Maple Pictures Corp. (“Maple”), a distributor of films in Canada, to one or more Canadians and preserving the Canadian status of Maple prior to such divestiture, maintaining Lions Gate’s incorporation in a Canadian jurisdiction, and maintaining or increasing the level of film production undertaken by Lions Gate in Canada, on a province by province basis. The Icahn Group will be required to comply with the Undertakings in the event that it is in a position to acquire control of the Canadian business carried on by Lions Gate in connection with the Offer, or otherwise.

Upon expiration of the Initial Offer on June 16, 2010, the Offeror announced a subsequent offering period which expired on June 30, 2010. Upon acceptance of and payment for the Lions Gate Shares tendered during the Initial Offer and the following subsequent offering period, the Offeror held 40,003,367 Lions Gate Shares, representing approximately 33.9% of the issued and outstanding Lions Gate Shares. On July 1, 2010, the Offeror purchased 4,638,702 Lions Gate Shares in the open market. Following these purchases, the Offeror held 44,772,451 Lions Gate Shares, representing approximately 37.87% of the issued and outstanding Lions Gate Shares.

On July 1, 2010, one day after the expiration of the Initial Offer, the board of directors of Lions Gate adopted the Second Poison Pill. The principal terms of the Second Poison Pill are summarized in Schedule II hereto. The summary is taken directly from the registration statement on Form 8-A filed by Lions Gate with the SEC on July 1, 2010. The summary in Schedule II is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of the Second Poison Pill. The Icahn Group intends to pursue legal proceedings to set aside the Second Poison Pill.

Following the expiration of the subsequent offering period, representatives of the Icahn Group and Lions Gate entered into discussions concerning certain corporate governance matters (including the possibility of adding persons designated by the Icahn Group to Lions Gate’s board of directors) and certain acquisition possibilities. These discussions resulted in the parties entering into a 10-day “standstill” agreement on July 9, 2010, which provided, among other things, that the Icahn Group and Lions Gate would work together on certain acquisition opportunities and that Lions Gate would: (i) not set a record date with respect to the 2010 annual meeting of Shareholders or any special meeting of Shareholders before September 2, 2010 and (ii) not take certain other actions adverse to the interests of the Icahn Group. The 10-day standstill period terminated at midnight, New York time, on July 19, 2010. While certain discussions regarding acquisition opportunities might continue in the future, the Icahn Group determined that there were no immediate opportunities that would merit extension of the 10-day standstill period.

Lions Gate’s latest actions (including the recent implementation of the Second Poison Pill after the Initial Poison Pill was struck down by Canadian securities regulators) convince the Icahn Group that it is extremely unlikely that the current management and board of directors of Lions Gate will allow Shareholders to make their own determination on the future path of the Company, including decisions to make a major acquisition. The Icahn Group therefore intends to seek to replace all or the lion’s share of Lions Gate’s board of directors with the Icahn Group’s nominees.

Lions Gate stated in its Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 1, 2010 that there were 118,108,487 Lions Gate Shares issued and outstanding as of May 21, 2010. Based on Lions Gate’s public disclosure, as at March 31, 2010, Lions Gate had outstanding approximately 3,360,000 stock options and 3,415,968 unvested restricted share units. Based on the Offer being for UP TO ALL of the outstanding Lions Gate Shares, after giving effect to the exercise of all outstanding stock options and the vesting of outstanding restricted share units, which the Offeror has calculated to total approximately 80,242,386 Lions Gate Shares (excluding the Lions Gate Shares owned by the Offeror and Lions Gate Shares issuable on the conversion of the Notes and 2025 Notes of April 2009), the maximum amount of cash required for the purchase of Lions Gate Shares for which the Offer is made (exclusive of fees and expenses) is approximately U.S.$522 million.

As described under Section 2 of the Circular, “Lions Gate”, under the terms of the Revolving Credit Agreement and the Revolving Film Credit Agreement and under the terms of the Notes, the 2025 Notes of April 2009 and the Second Lien Notes, a change in control of Lions Gate could result in an event of default that would permit the acceleration of such indebtedness. If such acceleration occurs (which will not be a condition allowing the Offeror to withdraw the Offer), the Icahn Group believes that Lions Gate will need to immediately secure a replacement source of funding in order to continue to operate its business and avoid bankruptcy. The Icahn Group believes this is a problem of Lions Gate’s own making – had the board of directors not agreed to these controversial “poison put” provisions, the Company would not now be facing this very difficult situation. As previously stated, the Icahn Group intends to hold the board responsible for any costs and damages the Company might incur from having to obtain emergency financing to alleviate this situation.

In each case, the required funds will be provided by the Icahn Group from cash on hand, including margin borrowings under existing brokerage arrangements. The Icahn Group will provide the Trustee with the funds necessary to acquire its portion of the Lions Gate Shares deposited under the Offer by way of a loan.

Except as provided below, none of the Offeror or any director, trustee, senior officer or general partner of the Offeror nor, to the knowledge of such directors, senior officers and general partners after reasonable enquiry, any associate (within the meaning ascribed thereto in Rule 12b-2 of the Exchange Act) or subsidiary of the Offeror, directors, trustees, senior officers or general partners of the Offeror, any Person holding more than 10% of any class of equity securities of the Offeror, or any Person acting jointly or in concert with the Offeror, beneficially owns or exercises control or direction over any Lions Gate securities.

Except as provided below, none of the Offeror or any general partner, director, trustee or senior officer of the Offeror nor, to the knowledge of such general partners, directors, trustees and senior officers after reasonable enquiry, any of the other Persons referred to above, has traded in any Lions Gate Shares during the 12 months preceding the date hereof.

As of the date of this Circular, the Offeror may be deemed to beneficially own approximately 44,772,451 Lions Gate Shares (including approximately 130,382 Lions Gate Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned as a result of the ownership of U.S.$1,154,000 in aggregate principal amount of 2024 Notes and U.S.$429,000 in aggregate principal amount of 2025 Notes), representing approximately 37.87% of the outstanding Lions Gate Shares (based upon the sum of (i) 118,108,487 Lions Gate Shares stated to be outstanding as of May 21, 2010 by Lions Gate in its Form 10-K filed with the SEC on June 1, 2010 for the year ended March 31, 2010 and (ii) approximately 130,382 Lions Gate Shares that may be deemed to be outstanding pursuant to Rule 13d-3(d)(1)(i) under the Exchange Act).^*** Subject to applicable law, the Offeror and its affiliates reserve the right, from time to time and at any time, (i) to acquire Lions Gate Shares, Notes and/or other equity, debt or other securities or instruments of Lions Gate or its subsidiaries (“Securities”) in the open market or otherwise, (ii) to dispose of any or all of such Securities in the open market or otherwise and (iii) to engage in any hedging or similar transactions with respect to such Securities.

As of the date of this Circular: (i) Icahn Partners LP beneficially owns 13,031,594 Lions Gate Shares (including Lions Gate Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned as a result of ownership of Notes) representing approximately 11.02% of those outstanding; (ii) Icahn Partners Master Fund LP beneficially owns 15,372,255 Lions Gate Shares (including Lions Gate Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned as a result of ownership of Notes) representing approximately 13.00% of those outstanding; (iii) Icahn Partners Master Fund II LP beneficial owns 5,381,689 Lions Gate Shares (including Lions Gate Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned as a result of ownership of Notes) representing approximately 4.55% of those outstanding; (iv) Icahn Partners Master Fund III LP beneficially owns 2,032,423 Lions Gate Shares (including Lions Gate Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned as a result of ownership of Notes) representing approximately 1.72% of those

outstanding; and (v) High River Limited Partnership beneficially owns 8,954,490 Lions Gate Shares (including Lions Gate Shares that may be deemed to be beneficially owned as a result of ownership of Notes) representing approximately 7.57% of those outstanding.

Inc., Icahn Enterprises Holdings L.P., IPH GP LLC, Icahn Capital LP and Icahn Offshore LP with each of Icahn Partners Master Fund LP, Icahn Partners Master Fund II LP and Icahn Partners Master Fund III LP, each of them may be deemed to have shared voting power and shared dispositive power with Icahn Partners Master Fund LP, Icahn Partners Master Fund II LP and Icahn Partners Master Fund III LP with regard to the Lions Gate Shares beneficially owned by Icahn Partners Master Fund LP, Icahn Partners Master Fund II LP and Icahn Partners Master Fund III LP.

Icahn, Hopper Investments LLC and Barberry Corp. with High River Limited Partnership, each of them may be deemed to have shared voting power and shared dispositive power with High River Limited Partnership with regard to the Lions Gate Shares beneficially owned by High River Limited Partnership.

Set forth in the table below are transactions in the Lions Gate Shares by Icahn Partners LP, Icahn Partners Master Fund LP, Icahn Partners Master Fund II LP, Icahn Partners Master Fund III LP or High River Limited Partnership during the 12 months prior to commencement of the Offer on the dates and for the prices indicated, all of which occurred through the facilities of the NYSE. None of Icahn Fund S.à r.l., Daazi Holding B.V., 7508921 Canada Inc. or the Trustee transacted in the Lions Gate Shares during the 12 months prior to commencement of the Offer. The purpose of the transactions set out below are indicated in the public filings made by the Offeror on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and on SEDAR at www.sedar.com.

Other than pursuant to the Offer, there are no commitments to acquire any equity securities of Lions Gate by the Offeror or its directors and senior officers or, to the knowledge of such directors and senior officers after reasonable enquiry, by any:

There are no formal or informal arrangements, agreements, contracts, relationships or understandings made or proposed to be made between the Offeror or any of its executive officers, directors, controlling persons or subsidiaries and Lions Gate or any of the directors, senior officers, controlling persons or subsidiaries of Lions Gate, and no payment or other benefit is proposed to be made or given by the Offeror to any of the directors or senior officers of Lions Gate by way of compensation for loss of office or for remaining in or retiring from office as a result of the Offer. There are no contracts, arrangements or understandings, formal or informal, between the Offeror and any Shareholder of Lions Gate with respect to the Offer or between the Offeror and any Person with respect to any securities of Lions Gate in relation to the Offer.

The Offeror is not aware of any approval or other action by any domestic or foreign court or governmental agency or other regulatory or administrative agency or commission that would be required for completion of the Offer, other than the issuance of a cease-trade order or other regulatory relief in connection with the Second Poison Pill if it is not otherwise redeemed or waived by the board of directors of Lions Gate. See Section 4 of the Offer to Purchase, “Conditions of the Offer”.

The Offeror is not aware of any information which indicates that a material change has occurred in the affairs of Lions Gate since the date of the last published financial statements of Lions Gate other than as has been Publicly Disclosed by Lions Gate or as disclosed in this Circular. The Offeror has no knowledge of any other matter that has not previously been generally disclosed but which would reasonably be expected to affect the decision of Shareholders to accept or reject the Offer.

The Lions Gate Shares are listed and posted for trading on the NYSE. The following table sets forth, for the periods indicated, the high and low sales prices of the Lions Gate Shares and the volume of trading on the NYSE, the principal market in which the Lions Gate Shares are traded, according to published sources.

The Offeror announced its intention to commence the Offer on July 20, 2010. On July 19, 2010, the closing price on the NYSE of the Lions Gate Shares was U.S.$6.03.

Shareholders are urged to obtain a current market quotation for the Lions Gate Shares.

According to Lions Gate’s public disclosure, Lions Gate has paid no dividends on the Lions Gate Shares since incorporation and does not anticipate doing so in the foreseeable future.

The Lions Gate Shares are listed on the NYSE. Depending upon the number of Lions Gate Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer, the Lions Gate Shares may no longer meet the requirements of the NYSE for continued listing on the NYSE. The rules of the NYSE establish certain criteria that, if not met, could lead to the delisting of the Lions Gate Shares from the NYSE. Among such criteria are the number of shareholders, the number of shares publicly held and the aggregate market value of the shares publicly held. If, as a result of the purchase of Lions Gate Shares pursuant to the Offer or otherwise, the Lions Gate Shares no longer meet the requirements of the NYSE for continued listing and the Lions Gate Shares are delisted, the market for the Lions Gate Shares would be adversely affected.

In the event the Lions Gate Shares are no longer eligible for listing on the NYSE, quotations might still be available from other sources. The extent of the public market for the Lions Gate Shares and the availability of such quotations would, however, depend upon the number of holders of such Lions Gate Shares at such time, the interest in maintaining a market in such Lions Gate Shares on the part of securities firms, the possible suspension of registration of such Lions Gate Shares under the Exchange Act, as described below, and other factors.

The Lions Gate Shares are currently registered under the Exchange Act. Such registration may be suspended upon application of Lions Gate to the SEC if the Lions Gate Shares are not listed on a national securities exchange and there are fewer than 300 holders of record of the Lions Gate Shares. The suspension of the registration of the Lions Gate Shares under the Exchange Act would substantially reduce the information required to be furnished by Lions Gate to Shareholders and to the SEC, and would make certain of the provisions of the Exchange Act, such as the short-swing profit recovery provisions of Section 16(b) and the requirement of furnishing a proxy statement in connection with shareholders meetings and the related requirement of an annual report to shareholders, and the requirements of Rule 13e-3 with respect to going private transactions, no longer applicable with respect to the Lions Gate Shares or to Lions Gate. Furthermore, if registration of the Lions Gate Shares under the Exchange Act were terminated, the ability of “affiliates” of Lions Gate and persons holding “restricted securities” of Lions Gate to dispose of such securities pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, may be impaired or, with respect to certain persons, eliminated. If the Lions Gate Shares were no longer registered under the Exchange Act, the Lions Gate Shares would no longer be eligible for NYSE listing.

The Lions Gate Shares are currently “margin securities” under the regulations of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System, which has the effect, among other things, of allowing brokers to extend credit using such Lions Gate Shares as collateral. Depending upon factors similar to those described above regarding market quotations, the Lions Gate Shares might no longer constitute “margin securities” for the purposes of the margin regulations, in which event the Lions Gate Shares would be ineligible as collateral for margin loans made by brokers.

In addition, depending upon the number of Lions Gate Shares purchased pursuant to the Offer, Lions Gate may also become eligible to cease to be a reporting issuer under applicable securities laws in the provinces of British Columbia, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario and Québec.

corporation that undergoes an “ownership change” to use its net operating loss carry forwards to reduce its tax liability. The U.S. subsidiaries of Lions Gate may have experienced “ownership changes” as defined in Section 382 of the Code in the past. In addition, the Offer, if consummated, may result in an “ownership change” of the U.S. subsidiaries of Lions Gate. Any limitation on the use of net operating loss carry forwards resulting from an ownership change in the past and/or the consummation of the Offer could increase the U.S. federal income tax liability of the U.S. subsidiaries of Lions Gate. Limitations similar to Section 382 of the Code may apply to Lions Gate’s U.S. state and local net operating loss carry forwards.

Information contained in this Section 13 is based upon documents and reports publicly filed by Lions Gate. Although the Offeror has no information that any statements contained in this Section 13 are untrue, the Offeror cannot take responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of any information contained in this Section 13 or for any failure by Lions Gate to disclose events which may have occurred and may affect the significance or accuracy of any such information but which are not known to the Offeror.

The Offeror believes, based on publicly available information, in the past five years prior to the date hereof, the Company has issued Lions Gate Shares from time to time upon exercise of options and vesting of restricted share units issued pursuant to the 2004 Plan and pursuant to the Lions Gate Employees’ and Directors’ Equity Incentive Plan.

In addition, the Offeror believes, based on publicly available information, that Lions Gate has issued Lions Gate Shares in connection with the following acquisitions:

The Offeror, together with its affiliates, currently owns approximately 44,772,451 Lions Gate Shares, representing approximately 37.87% of the outstanding Lions Gate Shares. Accordingly, the Offer is an “insider bid” within the meaning of certain Canadian provincial securities legislation and Multilateral Instrument 61-101 – Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions (“MI 61-101”), as the Offeror has, or is deemed to have, beneficial ownership of, or control over, directly or indirectly, more than 10% of the securities of Lions Gate carrying more than 10% of the voting rights attached to all of Lions Gate’s outstanding voting securities.

The applicable securities legislation and MI 61-101 require that a formal valuation of the securities that are the subject of the bid be prepared by an independent valuator and filed with the applicable regulatory authorities, subject to certain exemptions. In accordance with section 2.4(1)(a) of MI 61-101, the Offeror is exempt from the requirement to obtain a formal valuation on the basis that neither the Offeror nor any of its joint actors has, or has had within the preceding 12 months, any board or management representation in respect of Lions Gate, or has knowledge of any material information concerning Lions Gate or its securities that has not been generally disclosed.

To the knowledge of the Offeror and its directors and senior officers, after reasonably inquiry, no prior valuation has been made in respect of Lions Gate in the last 24 months before the date of the Offer.

In the opinion of Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP, counsel to the Offeror, the following summary describes the material Canadian federal income tax considerations generally applicable to a beneficial owner of Lions Gate Shares who sells Lions Gate Shares pursuant to this Offer and who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the application of the Tax Act:

(a “Holder”). Generally, the Lions Gate Shares will be capital property to a Holder provided the Holder does not hold those shares in the course of carrying on a business or as part of an adventure or concern in the nature of trade.

This summary is based on the assumption that the Rights have been cease-traded, found to be illegal or unenforceable or redeemed by the board of directors of the Company, or otherwise eliminated in connection with the Offer such that if Rights are disposed of by a beneficial owner of Lions Gate Shares pursuant to this Offer, there will be no value to the Rights and no amount of the consideration paid by the Offeror will be allocated to the Rights.

This summary does not address all issues relevant to Shareholders who acquired their Lions Gate Shares on the exercise of an employee stock option. Such Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors.

This summary is based on the current provisions of the Tax Act, the regulations thereunder, and counsel’s understanding of the current administrative and assessing practices and policies of the Canada Revenue Agency published in writing prior to the date hereof. This summary takes into account all specific proposals to amend the Tax Act publicly announced by or on behalf of the Minister of Finance (Canada) prior to the date hereof (the “Proposed Amendments”) and assumes that all Proposed Amendments will be enacted in the form proposed. However, no assurances can be given that the Proposed Amendments will be enacted as proposed, or at all. This summary does not otherwise take into account or anticipate any changes in law or administrative or assessing practice whether by legislative, regulatory, administrative or judicial action nor does it take into account tax legislation or considerations of any province, territory or foreign jurisdiction, which may be different from those discussed herein.

This summary is of a general nature only and is not, and is not intended to be, legal or tax advice to any particular Shareholder. This summary is not exhaustive of all Canadian federal income tax considerations. Accordingly, Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors having regard to their own particular circumstances.

For purposes of the Tax Act, all amounts not otherwise in Canadian dollars relating to the acquisition, holding or disposition of the Lions Gate Shares must be converted into Canadian dollars based on exchange rates as determined in accordance with the Tax Act. The amount of capital gains or capital losses realized by a Holder may be affected by fluctuations in the Canadian/U.S. dollar exchange rate.

This portion of the summary is generally applicable to a Holder who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the application of the Tax Act, is, or is deemed to be, resident in Canada (a “Resident Shareholder”). Certain Resident Shareholders may be entitled to make or may have already made the irrevocable election permitted by subsection 39(4) of the Tax Act, the effect of which may be to deem to be capital property any Lions Gate Shares (and all other “Canadian securities”, as defined in the Tax Act) owned by such Resident Shareholder in the taxation year in which the election is made and in all subsequent taxation years. Resident Shareholders whose Lions Gate Shares might not otherwise be considered to be capital property should consult their own tax advisors concerning this election.

This portion of the summary is not applicable to (i) a Shareholder that is a “specified financial institution”, (ii) a Shareholder an interest in which is a “tax shelter investment”, (iii) a Shareholder that is, for purposes of certain rules applicable to securities held by financial institutions (referred to as the “mark-to-market” rules), a “financial institution”, or (iv) a Shareholder to whom the “functional currency” reporting rules apply, each as defined in the Tax Act. Such Shareholders should consult their own tax advisors.

Generally, a Resident Shareholder who disposes of Lions Gate Shares pursuant to the Offer will realize a capital gain (or capital loss) equal to the amount, if any, by which the proceeds of disposition, net of any reasonable costs of disposition, exceed (or are less than) the adjusted cost base to the Resident Shareholder of the Lions Gate Shares immediately before the disposition.

Generally, a Resident Shareholder is required to include in computing its income for a taxation year one-half of the amount of any capital gain (a “taxable capital gain”). Subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Tax Act, a Resident Shareholder is required to deduct one-half of the amount of any capital loss (an “allowable capital loss”) realized in a taxation year from taxable capital gains realized by the Resident Shareholder in the year and allowable capital losses in excess of taxable capital gains may be carried back and deducted in any of the three preceding taxation years or carried forward and deducted in any subsequent taxation year against net taxable capital gains realized in such years.

The amount of any capital loss realized by a Resident Shareholder that is a corporation on the disposition of a Lions Gate Share may be reduced by the amount of any dividends received (or deemed to be

received) by it on such Lions Gate Share to the extent and under the circumstances prescribed by the Tax Act. Similar rules may apply where a Lions Gate Share is owned by a partnership or trust of which a corporation, trust or partnership is a member or beneficiary. Such Resident Shareholders should consult their own advisors.

A Resident Shareholder that is throughout the year a “Canadian-controlled private corporation”, as defined in the Tax Act, may be liable for a refundable tax on investment income, including taxable capital gains realized and dividends received or deemed to be received in respect of the Lions Gate Shares (but not dividends or deemed dividends that are deductible in computing taxable income).

The tax consequences to a Resident Shareholder disposing of Lions Gate Shares to the Offeror pursuant to such Holder’s statutory rights of compelled acquisition (as described in Section 20 of the Circular, “Compelled Acquisition”) will generally be as described above.

If following completion of the Offer the Lions Gate Shares cease to be listed on any designated stock exchange (which includes the NYSE) (see Section 12 of the Circular, “Effect of the Offer on the Market for Lions Gate Shares”) and the Company ceases to be a “public corporation” for purposes of the Tax Act, the Lions Gate Shares will cease to be qualified investments for trusts governed by registered retirement savings plans, registered retirement income funds, registered education savings plans, deferred profit sharing plans, registered disability savings plans and tax-free savings accounts.

This portion of the summary is generally applicable to a Holder who, at all relevant times, for purposes of the application of the Tax Act, is not, and is not deemed to be, resident in Canada and does not use or hold the Lions Gate Shares in a business carried on in Canada (a “Non-Resident Shareholder”). Special rules, which are not discussed in this summary, may apply to certain Shareholders that are insurers carrying on an insurance business in Canada and elsewhere.

A Non-Resident Shareholder will not be subject to tax under the Tax Act on any capital gain realized on a disposition of Lions Gate Shares unless the Lions Gate Shares are “taxable Canadian property” to the Non-Resident Shareholder for purposes of the Tax Act and the Non-Resident Shareholder is not entitled to relief under an applicable income tax convention between Canada and the country in which the Non-Resident Shareholder is resident.

Generally, the Lions Gate Shares will not constitute taxable Canadian property to a Non-Resident Shareholder at the time of disposition provided that the Lions Gate Shares are listed on a designated stock exchange (which includes the NYSE) at that time unless at any time during the 60-month period that ends at that time (a) the Non-Resident Shareholder, persons with whom the Non-Resident Shareholder does not deal at arm’s length, or the Non-Resident Shareholder together with all such persons, have owned 25% or more of the issued shares of any class or series of the capital stock of the Company and (b) more than 50% of the fair market value of the Lions Gate Shares was derived directly or indirectly from one or any combination of real or immovable property situated in Canada, Canadian resource properties (as defined in the Tax Act), timber resource properties (as defined in the Tax Act), and options in respect of, or interests in, or for civil law rights in, any such properties whether or not such properties exist. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in certain circumstances set out in the Tax Act, Lions Gate Shares could be deemed to be taxable Canadian property.

Non-Resident Shareholders whose Lions Gate Shares are taxable Canadian property should consult their own tax advisors for advice having regard to their particular circumstances.

Subject to the discussion below under “Delisting of Shares”, the tax consequences to a Non-Resident Shareholder disposing of its Lions Gate Shares to the Offeror pursuant to such Holder’s statutory rights of compelled acquisition (as described in Section 20 of the Circular, “Compelled Acquisition”) will generally be as described above.

As noted above in Section 12 of the Circular, “Effect of the Offer on the Market for Lions Gate Shares”, Lions Gate Shares may cease to qualify for listing on the NYSE following the completion of the Offer. Non-Resident Shareholders who do not dispose of their Lions Gate Shares pursuant to the Offer are cautioned that if the Lions Gate Shares are not listed on a designated stock exchange at the time they are disposed of (the “Relevant Time”) they will be taxable Canadian property to the Non-Resident Shareholder if at any time during the 60-month period that ends at the Relevant Time, more than 50% of the fair market value of the Lions Gate Shares was derived directly or indirectly from one or any combination of real or immovable properties situated in Canada, Canadian resource properties (as defined in the Tax Act), timber resource properties (as defined in the Tax Act), and options in respect of, or interests in, or for civil law rights in, any such properties whether or not such properties exist.

If the Lions Gate Shares are taxable Canadian property of a Non-Resident Shareholder:

Non-Resident Shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors with respect to the potential income tax consequences to them of not disposing of their Lions Gate Shares pursuant to the Offer.

In the opinion of Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP, counsel for the Offeror, the following summary describes the material U.S. federal income tax considerations applicable to U.S. Holders (as defined below) with respect to the disposition of Lions Gate Shares pursuant to the Offer. This summary is based upon the U.S. Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), temporary and final U.S. Department of the Treasury regulations promulgated thereunder, judicial decisions and administrative rulings and practice, all as in effect as of the date hereof, all of which are subject to change (possibly with retroactive effect). This discussion does not address aspects of U.S. federal taxation other than income

taxation, nor does it address all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation, including aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that may be applicable to particular Shareholders, such as Shareholders who are dealers in securities, insurance companies, tax exempt organizations, financial institutions, regulated investment companies, entities treated as partnerships for U.S. federal income tax purposes, Shareholders who hold their Lions Gate Shares as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion, synthetic security or constructive sale transaction for U.S. federal income tax purposes, non-U.S. persons, Shareholders who have a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar, Shareholders who elect to receive their cash consideration under the Offer in Canadian dollars, or Shareholders who acquired their Lions Gate Shares in a compensation transaction. This summary is limited to persons that hold their Lions Gate Shares as a “capital asset” within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code. This discussion also does not address the U.S. federal income tax consequences to Shareholders who own directly, indirectly and/or by attribution 10% or more of the Lions Gate Shares. In addition, this discussion does not address any U.S. state, U.S. local or non-U.S. tax consequences.

According to public filings in 2000 and 2003 through 2006, Lions Gate believed that it was not, and would not become, a PFIC for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and, relying solely on these filings, this summary assumes that Lions Gate was not a PFIC for its taxable year ending in 2001 or any subsequent year. This summary further assumes that all U.S. Holders disposing of Lions Gate Shares pursuant to the Offer have a holding period in such shares, or any rights to acquire such shares, that commenced in 2001 or a subsequent year. U.S. Holders should discuss with their tax advisors the potentially significant and adverse tax consequences that could apply if Lions Gate was a PFIC for any year. In addition, this summary is based on the assumption that the Rights have been cease-traded, found to be illegal or unenforceable or redeemed by the board of directors of the Company, or otherwise eliminated in connection with the Offer such that if Rights are disposed of by a beneficial owner of Lions Gate Shares pursuant to this Offer, there will be no value to the Rights and no amount of the consideration paid by the Offeror will be allocated to the Rights.

It is recommended that U.S. Holders of Lions Gate Shares consult their tax advisors with respect to the application of U.S. federal tax laws to their particular situation, as well as any applicable state, local and foreign tax consequences of the Offer.

As used herein, the term “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial owner of Lions Gate Shares that, for U.S. federal income tax purposes, is:

If a partnership (including any entity treated as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes) is the beneficial owner of Lions Gate Shares, the tax treatment of a partner in the partnership will depend upon the status of the partner and the activities of the partnership. Partners in a partnership should consult their tax advisors as to the particular tax considerations applicable to them.

A U.S. Holder who disposes of Lions Gate Shares pursuant to the Offer will recognize gain or loss for U.S. federal income tax purposes equal to the difference between the amount received and the holder’s adjusted tax basis in the Lions Gate Shares. Certain non-corporate U.S. Holders (including individuals) are generally eligible for preferential rates of U.S. federal income taxation in respect of long-term capital gain (i.e., capital gain on shares that are held for more than one year). The deductibility of capital losses is limited under the Code. Any gain or loss recognized by a U.S. Holder generally should be treated as U.S. source income or loss for U.S. foreign tax credit purposes.

The tax consequences to a U.S. Holder disposing of its Lions Gate Shares to the Offeror pursuant to such Holder’s statutory rights of compelled acquisition (as described in Section 20 of the Circular, “Compelled Acquisition”) will generally be as described above.

Information returns may be required to be filed with the Internal Revenue Service relating to payments made to particular U.S. Holders. In addition, U.S. Holders may be subject to a backup withholding tax on such payments if they do not provide their taxpayer identification numbers in the manner required, or otherwise fail to comply with applicable backup withholding tax rules. Any amounts withheld under the backup withholding rules will be allowed as a credit against the U.S. Holder’s U.S. federal income tax liability provided the required information is timely furnished to the Internal Revenue Service.

Computershare Investor Services Inc. is acting as Depositary and Computershare Trust Company, N.A. is acting as U.S. Forwarding Agent under the Offer. In such capacity, the Depositary and the U.S. Forwarding Agent will receive deposits of certificates representing Lions Gate Shares and accompanying Letters of Transmittal at the offices specified in the Letter of Transmittal. The Depositary will also receive Notices of Guaranteed Delivery at its office in Toronto, Ontario, Canada specified in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery. The Depositary will also be responsible for giving notices, if required, and for making payment for all Lions Gate Shares purchased by the Offeror under the Offer. The Depositary and the U.S. Forwarding Agent will receive reasonable and customary compensation from the Offeror for their services relating to the Offer and will be reimbursed for certain out-of-pocket expenses. The Offeror has also agreed to indemnify the Depositary and U.S. Forwarding Agent for certain liabilities, including liabilities under securities laws, and expenses of the Offer.

The Offeror has engaged D.F. King & Co., Inc. as Information Agent to provide a resource for information for Shareholders. The Information Agent will receive reasonable and customary compensation from the Offeror for services in connection with the Offer and will be reimbursed for certain out-of-pocket expenses.

The Offeror will not pay any fees or commissions to any broker, dealer or other person for soliciting deposits of Lions Gate Shares pursuant to the Offer. No fee or commission will be payable by Shareholders who deposit their Lions Gate Shares directly to the Depositary or the U.S. Forwarding Agent.

Shareholders should contact the Depositary, the U.S. Forwarding Agent, the Information Agent or a broker or dealer for assistance in accepting the Offer and in depositing Lions Gate Shares with the Depositary or the U.S. Forwarding Agent.

Legal matters on behalf of the Icahn Group will be passed upon by, and the opinions contained under “Material Canadian Federal Income Tax Considerations” and “Material U.S. Federal Income Tax Considerations” have been provided by, Osler, Hoskin & Harcourt LLP, Canadian and U.S. counsel to the Icahn Group.

The Offeror estimates that if it acquires UP TO ALL of the outstanding Lions Gate Shares, the amount required to be paid by the Offeror for related fees and expenses, including legal, financial advising, accounting, filing and printing costs, and the cost of preparing and mailing the Offer, will be approximately U.S.$300,000.

If Shareholders holding not less than 90% of the issued and outstanding Lions Gate Shares, other than Lions Gate Shares held on the date of the Offer by the Offeror, or by a nominee for the Offeror or an “affiliate” (as defined in the BCBCA) of the Offeror, have accepted the Offer, any Shareholder who has not accepted the Offer (an “Offeree”) will be entitled, in certain circumstances and in accordance with the BCBCA, to compel the Offeror to acquire such Offeree’s Lions Gate Shares.

If the Offeror has not sent notice to the Offerees that the Offeror intends to acquire the Offeree’s Lions Gate Shares (the “Offeror’s Notice”), within one month after the acceptance by the Offeror of at least 90% of the issued and outstanding Lions Gate Shares, the Offeror must send a written notice to each Offeree who did not accept the Offer stating that the Offeree, within three months after receiving such written notice, may require the Offeror to acquire the Lions Gate Shares of that Offeree that were subject to the Offer. If an Offeree requires the Offeror to acquire the Offeree’s Lions Gate Shares in accordance with these provisions, the Offeror must acquire those Lions Gate Shares for the same consideration and on the same terms contained in the Offer.

The foregoing is a summary only of the statutory right of compelled acquisition which may become available to Offerees and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of Subsections 300(9) and 300(10) of the BCBCA. Subsections 300(9) and 300(10) of the BCBCA are complex and may require strict adherence to notice and timing provisions, failing which such rights may be lost or altered. Shareholders are urged to consult with their legal advisors about the application of these provisions of the BCBCA to their particular circumstances.

Securities legislation in certain of the provinces of Canada provides securityholders of the Company with, in addition to any other rights they may have at law, one or more rights of rescission, price revision or to damages, if there is a misrepresentation in a circular or notice that is required to be delivered to such securityholders. However, such rights must be exercised within prescribed time limits. Shareholders should refer to the applicable provisions of the securities legislation of their province for the particulars of those rights or consult with a lawyer.

The summary below is taken directly from the registration statement on Form 8-A (the “Registration Statement”) filed by Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. (the “Company”) on July 2, 2010. Except as otherwise defined herein, defined terms used below have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Shareholder Rights Plan (the “Shareholder Rights Plan”) dated as of July 1, 2010 between the Company and CIBC Mellon Trust Company, as the Rights Agent. The summary does not purport to be complete and should be read together with, and is qualified in its entirety by, the provisions of the Shareholder Rights Plan.

Issue of Rights. Under the Rights Plan, which became effective on July 1, 2010, one Right will be issued to shareholders of record on July 12, 2010 and will be attached to each outstanding Share. One Right will also be issued and attached to each Share issued thereafter, subject to the limitations set forth in the Rights Plan.

Acquiring Person. An “Acquiring Person” is a person that Beneficially Owns 38% or more of the outstanding Voting Shares. However, an Acquiring Person does not include the Company or any subsidiary of the Company, or any person that would otherwise become an Acquiring Person as a result of certain exempt transactions. These exempt transactions include, among others: (a) specified acquisitions of securities of the Company, (b) acquisitions pursuant to a Permitted Bid or Competing Permitted Bid (as described below), (c) specified distributions of securities of the Company, (d) certain other specified exempt acquisitions, and (e) transactions to which the application of the Rights Plan has been waived by the Board.

Rights Exercise Privilege. The Rights will separate from the Shares to which they are attached and will become exercisable at the later of (a) the close of business on the tenth Business Day after the earliest of: (i) the first date of public announcement that an Acquiring Person has become an Acquiring Person; (ii) the date of commencement of, or first public announcement of the intent of any person to commence, a take-over bid, other than a Permitted Bid or a Competing Permitted Bid, (iii) the date upon which a Permitted Bid or a Competing Permitted Bid ceases to be such, or (b) in the event that any of the circumstances in (a) occurred more than ten Business Days prior to the issuance of the Rights, the close of business on July 12, 2010, or in each case such later date as the Board of Directors may determine (the “Separation Time”). Subject to adjustment as provided in the Rights Plan, following the Separation Time, each Right will entitle the holder to purchase one Share for an exercise price (the “Exercise Price”) equal to four times the prevailing market price of a Share as at the Separation Time.

A transaction in which a person becomes an Acquiring Person is referred to as a “Flip-in Event.” Any Rights Beneficially Owned by an Acquiring Person (or any transferee of such Rights) on or after the earlier of the Separation Time or the first date of public announcement by the Company or an Acquiring Person that an Acquiring Person has become such, will become void upon the occurrence of a Flip-in Event. After the close of business on the tenth business day after the first date of public announcement by the Company or an Acquiring Person that an Acquiring Person has become such, the Rights (other than those Beneficially Owned by the Acquiring Person or any transferee of such Rights) will entitle the holder to purchase, for the Exercise Price, that number of Shares having an aggregate market price (based on the prevailing market price at the time of the consummation or occurrence of the Flip-in Event) equal to twice the Exercise Price, subject to adjustment in certain circumstances.

Impact Once Rights Plan is Triggered. Upon the occurrence of a Flip-in Event and the Rights separating from the attached Shares, reported earnings per Share on a fully diluted or non-diluted basis may be affected. Holders of Rights who do not exercise their Rights upon the occurrence of a Flip-in Event may suffer substantial dilution.

By permitting holders of Rights other than Rights Beneficially Owned by an Acquiring Person (or any transferee of such Rights) to acquire Shares of the Company at a discount to market value, the Rights may cause substantial dilution to a person or group that becomes an Acquiring Person other than by way of a Permitted Bid or a Competing Permitted Bid or other than in circumstances where the Rights are redeemed or the Board waives the application of the Rights Plan.

Certificates and Transferability. Prior to the Separation Time, certificates for Shares will also evidence one Right for each Share represented by the certificate. Certificates evidencing Shares issued after July 12, 2010 will bear a legend to this effect. Rights are also attached to Shares outstanding on July 12, 2010, although share certificates already outstanding on that date will not bear such a legend.

Prior to the Separation Time, the Rights will not be transferable separately from the attached Shares. From and after the Separation Time, the Rights will be evidenced by Rights certificates which will be transferable and traded separately from the Shares.

Permitted Bids and Competing Permitted Bids. The Rights Plan is not triggered if an offer would, among other things, allow sufficient time for the shareholders to consider and react to the offer and would allow shareholders to decide to tender or not tender without the concern that they will be left with illiquid Voting Shares should they not tender.

A “Permitted Bid” is a take-over bid where the bid is made by way of a take-over bid circular to all holders of Voting Shares, other than the offeror, and the bid is subject to irrevocable and unqualified conditions that (a) no Voting Shares shall be taken up or paid for prior to a date which is not less than 60 days after the date of the bid and then only if more than 50% of the outstanding Voting Shares held by Independent Shareholders have been tendered to the bid and not withdrawn, (b) Voting Shares may be deposited pursuant to the bid (unless the bid is withdrawn) at any time prior to the close of business on the date Voting Shares are first taken up and paid for under the bid, (c) any Voting Shares deposited pursuant to the bid may be withdrawn until taken up and paid for, and (d) if the 50% condition set forth in (a) above is satisfied, that fact will be publicly announced and the bid will be extended for at least 10 Business Days following such announcement.

A “Competing Permitted Bid” is a take-over bid made after a Permitted Bid or another Competing Permitted Bid has been made and prior to the expiry of that Permitted Bid or Competing Permitted Bid and that satisfies all the criteria of a Permitted Bid except that since it is made after a Permitted Bid has been made, the minimum deposit period and the time period for the take-up of and payment for shares tendered under a Competing Permitted Bid is not 60 days, but is instead the later of (a) the last day on which a take-over bid must be open for acceptance after the date of such bid under applicable securities legislation, and (b) the earliest date for take-up and payment of shares under any other Permitted Bid or Competing Permitted Bid then in existence.

Neither a Permitted Bid nor a Competing Permitted Bid is required to be approved by the Board and such bids may be made directly to shareholders. Acquisitions of Voting Shares made pursuant to a Permitted Bid or a Competing Permitted Bid do not give rise to a Flip-in Event.

Waiver, Redemption and Amendment. With the prior consent of the holders of Voting Shares, the Board may, at any time prior to the occurrence of a Flip-in Event that would occur by reason of an acquisition of Voting Shares otherwise than pursuant to a take-over bid made by means of a take-over bid circular to all holders of record of Voting Shares (or otherwise as outlined in the paragraph below), waive the application of the Rights Plan to such Flip-in Event. In such event, the Board shall extend the Separation Time to a date at least 10 Business Days subsequent to the meeting of shareholders called to approve such waiver.

The Board may waive the application of the Rights Plan to a Flip-in Event, provided that the Board has determined that the Acquiring Person became an Acquiring Person by inadvertence without any intention to become or knowledge that it would become an Acquiring Person and such Acquiring Person has reduced its beneficial ownership of Voting Shares such that at the time of the waiver it is no longer an Acquiring Person. Similarly, the Board may waive the application of the Rights Plan to a Flip-in Event provided that the Acquiring Person has reduced or has contractually agreed to reduce its beneficial ownership of Shares such that it would no longer be an Acquiring Person. The Board may also, prior to the occurrence of a Flip-in Event, waive the application of the Rights Plan to a particular Flip-in Event which would occur as a result of a take-over bid made under a circular prepared in accordance with applicable securities laws to all holders of Voting Shares. In such event, the Board shall be deemed also to have waived the application of the Rights Plan to any other Flip-in Event occurring as a result of any other takeover bid made under a circular prepared in accordance with applicable securities laws to all holders of Voting Shares prior to the expiry of any take-over bid for which the Rights Plan has been waived or deemed to have been waived.

Until the occurrence of a Flip-in Event, the Board may, at any time prior to the Separation Time, with the approval of holders of the Voting Shares (or with the approval of holders of Rights if the Separation Time has occurred), elect to redeem all but not less than all of the then outstanding Rights at $0.001 per Right. In the event that, prior to the occurrence of a Flip-in Event, a person acquires Voting Shares pursuant to a Permitted Bid, a Competing Permitted Bid or pursuant to a transaction for which the Board has waived the application of the Rights Plan, then the Board shall, immediately upon the consummation of such acquisition, without further formality, be deemed to have elected to redeem the Rights at the redemption price.

Any questions and requests for assistance may be directed by Shareholders to the Depositary, the U.S. Forwarding Agent or the Information Agent at their respective telephone numbers and locations set out above.
