2. Recent Developments

On November 16, 2010, a panel of three judges of the British Columbia Court of Appeal (the “BCCA”) denied the Icahn Group’s application for review of the Order of Low J.A. dated November 5, 2010 dismissing the Icahn Group’s application for an order fixing a date for the hearing of its appeal from the decision of the Supreme Court of British Columbia relating to the Impugned Transactions in November 2010 or, in the alternative, an order fixing a date for the hearing of its appeal in December 2010 and directing that the 2010 annual general meeting of Shareholders be held no earlier than January 21, 2011. The result of the decision of the BCCA on November 16, 2010 is that the Icahn Group’s appeal will not be heard prior to the annual general meeting of Shareholders scheduled for December 14, 2010.


 

3. Other Amendments to the Offer to Purchase and Circular

Set forth below are amendments to the Offer to Purchase and Circular that provide updated information relating, among other things, to: (i) the number of Lions Gate Shares outstanding and (ii) the Offeror’s percentage ownership of Lions Gate Shares.

Circular

The seventh and eighth paragraphs of Section 2 of the Circular, “Lions Gate” (found at page 41 of the Circular), as amended by the First Notice of Variation, are deleted in their entirety and replaced by the following:

“Lions Gate stated in its proxy statement for the 2010 annual general meeting of Shareholders filed with the SEC on November 19, 2010 that, as at November 12, 2010, Lions Gate had outstanding 136,694,840 Lions Gate Shares and stated in its Solicitation/Recommendation Statement on Schedule 14D-9 filed with the SEC on August 2, 2010 that the diluted number of Lions Gate Shares issued and outstanding assuming conversion of the Notes and the 2025 Notes of April 2009 and the issuance of Lions Gate Shares issuable upon exercise of options and upon vesting of restricted share units, would be 155,122,771. 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. On July 20, 2010, Lions Gate announced that it had issued 16,236,305 Lions Gate Shares to an investment fund controlled by Rachesky, a director and significant Shareholder, upon the conversion of New Notes purchased by Rachesky on July 20, 2010. The Icahn Group is disputing the validity of such issuance.

The Lions Gate Shares are listed on the NYSE under the symbol “LGF”. Lions Gate disclosed in its proxy statement for the 2010 annual general meeting of Shareholders filed with the SEC on November 19, 2010 that, as of November 12, 2010, 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.

 

Shareholder

   Number of Lions Gate
Shares owned as of
November 12, 2010
     Percent of total outstanding
Lions Gate Shares as of
November 12, 2010
 

Carl C. Icahn(a)

     44,772,451         32.8

Mark H. Rachesky, M.D.(b)

     39,423,424         28.8

 

(a) As discussed above, the Icahn Group is disputing the validity of the issuance on July 20, 2010 of 16,236,305 Lions Gate Shares to an investment fund controlled by Rachesky. If this issuance is invalidated, the Icahn Group will own approximately 37.13% of the outstanding Lions Gate Shares. See Section 6 of the Circular, “Beneficial Ownership of and Trading in Lions Gate Shares”.
(b) On July 20, 2010, 16,236,305 Lions Gate Shares were issued by Lions Gate to an investment fund controlled by Rachesky. As discussed above, the Icahn Group is disputing the validity of this issuance.”

All references in the Offer to Purchase and Circular to the percentage ownership of Lions Gate Shares by the Offeror are amended to reflect the foregoing.

The first paragraph of Section 5 of the Circular, “Source of Funds” (found at page 50 of the Circular), as amended by the First Notice of Variation and the Second Notice of Variation, is deleted in its entirety and replaced by the following:

“Lions Gate stated in its proxy statement for the 2010 annual general meeting of Shareholders filed with the SEC on November 19, 2010 that there were 136,694,840 Lions Gate Shares issued and outstanding as of November 12, 2010. In addition, Lions Gate stated in its Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on November 9, 2010 that there were approximately 3,310,000 stock options and 1,669,000 unvested restricted share units outstanding as of September 30, 2010. 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 and subtracting the 16,236,305 Lions Gate Shares issued to Rachesky on July 20, 2010 (the validity of which the Icahn Group is disputing), which the Offeror has calculated to total approximately 80,795,466 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.$606 million.”

The fourth and fifth paragraphs of Section 6 of the Circular, “Beneficial Ownership of and Trading in Lions Gate Shares” (found at pages 51 to 52 of the Circular), as amended by the First Notice of Variation, are deleted in their entirety and replaced by the following:

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.

*** The indenture governing the 2024 Notes states that such Notes are convertible, at the option of the holder, into 86.9565 Lions Gate Shares per U.S.$1,000 principal amount of 2024 Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately U.S.$11.50 per Lions Gate Share, only if certain events specified in the indenture governing such notes occur.

Although (i) the conversion of the 2024 Notes is subject to the occurrence of events specified in the indenture governing such notes and (ii) the conversion prices of both series of notes as stated in the applicable indentures are in excess of the current market value of the Lions Gate Shares, under the Rules set forth in Regulation 13D under the Exchange Act the Offeror may be deemed to beneficially own approximately 130,382 Lions Gate Shares that may be acquired by the Offeror upon conversion of the Notes held by the Offeror.
