Malone listed on Schedule I thereto (the “2015 Stockholders”). Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, on March 27, 2015, Leopard acquired from the 2015 Stockholders 2,118,038 shares of Series A Common Stock and 2,590,597 shares of Series B Common Stock (collectively, the “2015 Starz Exchange Shares”) of Starz (the “Issuer”) in exchange for 4,967,695 newly issued common shares of Lions Gate, no par value per share.

This Amendment No. 2 amends the Original Schedule 13D, as amended by Amendment No. 1, as specifically set forth herein. The Original Schedule 13D, as amended by Amendment No. 1 and this Amendment No. 2 is referred to as the “Schedule 13D.”

Except as specifically provided herein, this Amendment No. 2 does not modify any of the information previously reported on the Schedule 13D.  Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them in the Schedule 13D.

ITEM 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

Agreement and Plan of Merger

On June 30, 2016, Lions Gate entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Starz (“Starz”), a Delaware corporation, and Orion Arm Acquisition Inc., a Delaware corporation and an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Lions Gate (“Merger Sub”). The Merger Agreement provides that Merger Sub will merge with and into Starz, with Starz continuing as the surviving corporation and becoming an indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Lions Gate (the “Merger”).

The Merger Agreement provides that, in a reclassification (the “Reclassification”) preceding the Merger, each existing common share, without par value, of Lions Gate (“Lions Gate Common Stock”) will be split into (1) 0.5 shares of a newly issued class of voting shares, without par value, of Lions Gate (the “Lions Gate Voting Stock”) and (2) 0.5 shares of a newly issued class of non-voting shares, without par value, of Lions Gate (“Lions Gate Non-Voting Stock”), subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement. Lions Gate intends not to consummate the Reclassification unless the Merger will be completed.

Following the Reclassification, pursuant to the Merger, (a) each share of Starz Series A Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive (1) $18.00 in cash and (2) 0.6784 of a share of Lions Gate Non-Voting Stock, and (b) each share of Starz Series B Common Stock will be converted into the right to receive (1) $7.26 in cash, (2) 0.6321 of a share of Lions Gate Non-Voting Stock and (3) 0.6321 of a share of Lions Gate Voting Stock, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement.

As a result of the Merger, the outstanding equity awards relating to Starz Series A Common Stock will be converted into corresponding awards relating to shares of Lions Gate Non-Voting Stock, after giving effect to appropriate adjustments to reflect the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The converted equity awards will remain subject to the same terms and conditions (including time- and performance-based vesting terms) as in effect prior to the closing of the Merger.

The closing of the Merger is contingent on (1) approval of the Merger Agreement by a majority of the voting power of the Starz Series A Common Stock stockholders and Starz Series B Common Stock stockholders voting together, (2) approval of the Reclassification by a two-thirds majority of the shares of Lions Gate Common Stock voting on the Reclassification, (3) approval of the issuance of Lions Gate Non-Voting Stock and Lions Gate Voting Stock in the Merger (the “Stock Issuance”) by a majority of the shares of Lions Gate Common Stock voting on such issuance, (4) completion of the Reclassification, (5) expiration of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, (6) receipt of German antitrust approval, (7) receipt of FCC approval, (8) the registration of the shares of the Lions Gate Non-Voting Stock and Lions Gate Voting Stock being issued to holders of Starz Series A Common Stock and Starz Series B Common Stock in the Merger, (9) authorization of the Lions Gate Voting Stock and the Lions Gate Non-Voting Stock for listing on the New York Stock Exchange and (10) other customary closing conditions.

The Merger Agreement contains customary representations and warranties by each party. Lions Gate and Starz have also agreed to various customary covenants and agreements, including, among others, to conduct their business in the ordinary course consistent with past practice during the period between the execution of the Merger Agreement and the closing of the Merger.

Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, Starz and Lions Gate may not solicit alternative transaction proposals, unless their respective board of directors receives a bona fide alternative transaction proposal that did not result from a material breach of such party’s non-solicitation obligations and which such party’s board of directors determines to be, or to be reasonably likely to lead to, a superior proposal, and failure to take such action would reasonably be likely to violate the directors’ fiduciary duties, subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement.

The Merger Agreement contains certain termination rights for Lions Gate and Starz. The Merger Agreement can be terminated by either party (1) by mutual written consent; (2) if the Merger has not been consummated by an outside date of December 31, 2016 (which either party may generally extend to March 31, 2017 if the only closing condition that has not been met is the condition related to the receipt of regulatory approvals); (3) if there is a permanent, non-appealable injunction or law restraining or prohibiting the consummation of the Merger; (4) if either party’s stockholders fail to approve the transactions; (5) if the other party’s board of directors changes its recommendation in favor of the transactions; (6) if the other party materially breaches its non-solicitation covenant; or (7) if the other party has breached its representations or covenants in a way that prevents satisfaction of a closing condition, subject to a cure period. The Merger Agreement can also be terminated by Starz (x) in order to enter into a superior transaction (subject to compliance with certain terms and conditions included in the Merger Agreement) or (y) if Lions Gate fails to consummate the Merger when otherwise required because of a failure to receive its debt financing.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Starz will pay Lions Gate a termination fee of $150 million if (1) Starz terminates the Merger Agreement in order to enter into a superior transaction (subject to compliance with certain terms and conditions included in the Merger Agreement), (2) Lions Gate terminates the Merger Agreement because Starz’ board of directors changes its recommendation in favor of the transactions, (3) Lions Gate terminates the Merger Agreement because Starz materially breaches its non-solicitation covenant or (4) (a) an alternative transaction proposal is made to Starz, (b) thereafter the Merger Agreement is terminated (i) by either party for failure to consummate the Merger by the outside date (at such time as Starz’ stockholders have failed to approve the transactions and such termination does not result in the payment of a termination fee by Lions Gate), (ii) by either party because Starz’ stockholders fail to approve the transactions or (iii) by Lions Gate because Starz has breached its representations or covenants in a way that prevents satisfaction of a closing condition, subject to a cure period, and (c) within 18 months of such termination, Starz enters into or consummates an alternative transaction.

Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, Lions Gate will pay Starz (1) a termination fee of $150 million if either party terminates the Merger Agreement because Lions Gate’s stockholders fail to approve the transactions, (2) a termination fee of $175 million if Starz terminates the Merger Agreement because Lions Gates’s board of directors changes its recommendation in favor of the transactions or because Lions Gate materially breaches its non-solicitation covenant, (3) a termination fee of $250 million if Starz terminates the Merger Agreement because Lions Gate fails to consummate the Merger when it would otherwise be required because of a failure to receive the debt financing and (4) a termination fee of $175 million if (a) an alternative transaction proposal is made to Lions Gate, (b) thereafter the Merger Agreement is terminated (i) by either party for failure to consummate the Merger by the outside date (at such time as Lions Gate’s stockholders have failed to approve the transactions and such termination does not result in the payment of a termination fee by Starz), (ii) by either party because Lions Gate’s stockholders fail to approve the transactions or (iii) by Starz because Lions Gate has breached its representations or covenants in a way that prevents satisfaction of a closing condition, subject to a cure period, and (c) within 18 months of such termination, Lions Gate enters into or consummates an alternative transaction.

The board of directors of Lions Gate has approved and adopted the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and has agreed to recommend that the Lions Gate stockholders approve the Reclassification and Stock Issuance, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

The board of directors of Starz has approved and adopted the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby and has agreed to recommend that the Starz stockholders adopt the Merger, subject to certain exceptions set forth in the Merger Agreement.

The foregoing summary of the Merger Agreement and the transactions contemplated thereby does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the full text of the Merger Agreement, which is filed as Exhibit 7(a) to this Schedule 13D/A and is incorporated by reference herein.

The Merger Agreement and the above description have been included to provide investors and security holders with information regarding the terms of the Merger Agreement. They are not intended to provide any other factual information about Lions Gate, Merger Sub, Starz, or their respective subsidiaries or affiliates or equityholders. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement were made only for purposes of those agreements and as of specific dates; were solely for the benefit of the parties to the Merger Agreement; and may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made by each contracting party to the other for the purposes of allocating contractual risk between them that differ from those applicable to investors. Investors should be aware that the representations, warranties and covenants or any description thereof may not reflect the actual state of facts or condition of Lions Gate, Merger Sub, Starz or any of their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, businesses, or equityholders. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of the representations, warranties and covenants may change after the date of the Merger Agreement, which subsequent information may or may not be fully reflected in public disclosures by Lions Gate.

Exchange Agreement

In connection with the Merger Agreement, on June 30, 2016, Lions Gate entered into a Stock Exchange Agreement (the “Exchange Agreement”) with Merger Sub and the stockholders of Starz listed on Schedule I thereto (the “Exchange Stockholders”), pursuant to which, if the Merger Agreement is terminated (1) by Lions Gate because Starz’ board of directors changes its recommendation in favor of the transactions, (2) by Starz in order to enter into a superior transaction or (3) by either party because Starz’ stockholders fail to approve the transactions, then the Exchange Stockholders will sell to Merger Sub all shares of Starz Series B Common Stock held by the Exchange Stockholders (the “Starz Exchange Shares”), which as of June 30, 2016 constituted approximately 69.9% of the total voting power of the issued and outstanding shares of Starz Series B Common Stock, in exchange for per share consideration of $7.26 in cash and 1.2642 newly issued shares of Lions Gate Common Stock (the “Lions Gate Exchange Shares”). At the election of Dr. John C. Malone, or if Lions Gate should fail to receive the required stockholder approval to issue the Lions Gate Exchange Shares, the Exchange Stockholders will instead receive per share consideration of $36.30 in cash for each Starz Exchange Share. Lions Gate plans to seek such required stockholder approval at the same meeting where it will seek the required approvals pursuant to the Merger Agreement.

The Exchange Agreement is filed as Exhibit 7(b) to this Schedule 13D/A and is incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing description of various terms of the Exchange Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Exchange Agreement.

Voting Agreements regarding Lion Gate Shares

In connection with the Merger Agreement, on June 30, 2016, Lions Gate, Starz and certain stockholders of Lions Gate entered into a series of Voting Agreements, with respect to such stockholders’ shares of Lions Gate Common Stock (the “Liberty Voting Agreement,” the “Discovery Voting Agreement,” the “JM Voting Agreement,” and the “MHR Voting Agreement,” and collectively the “Lions Gate Voting Agreements”). Pursuant to the Lions Gate Voting Agreements, the applicable stockholders of Lions Gate agreed, among other things and subject to certain conditions, to, at any meeting of stockholders of Lions Gate called to vote upon the Reclassification, Stock Issuance or the issuance of the Lions Gate Exchange Shares, vote all shares set forth on Schedule A thereto in favor of such transactions, and to vote against certain other matters, so long as such obligations had not terminated in accordance with the terms set forth therein. Under the Lions Gate Voting Agreements, Lions Gate agreed to indemnify the applicable stockholders of Lions Gate for losses relating to or arising out of the Lions Gate Voting Agreement, the Merger Agreement or the Exchange Agreement and, in the case of the MHR Voting Agreement, to pay up to $1.6 million in reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the applicable stockholders.

The Lions Gate Voting Agreements are filed as Exhibits 7(c), 7(d), 7(e) and 7(f), respectively, to this Schedule 13D/A and are incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing description of various terms of the Lions Gate Voting Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Lions Gate Voting Agreements.

Voting Agreement regarding Starz Shares

In connection with the Merger Agreement, on June 30, 2016, Lions Gate and Starz entered into a Voting Agreement with LG Leopard Canada LP, an Ontario limited partnership and indirect wholly owned subsidiary of Lions Gate, and the stockholders of Starz listed on Schedule A thereto (such stockholders the “Individual Stockholders” and together with LG Leopard Canada LP, the “Stockholders”), with respect to shares of Starz common stock (the “Starz Voting Agreement”).

Pursuant to the Starz Voting Agreement, the Stockholders agreed, among other things and subject to certain conditions, to, at any meeting of stockholders of Starz called to vote upon the Merger, vote shares of Starz constituting an aggregate of 33.53% of the voting power of Starz common stock in favor of the Merger, and to vote the pro rata portion of the excess of such Stockholder’s shares of Starz common stock over such 33.53% limit in proportion to the votes of all Starz stockholders voting other than the Stockholders. The Stockholders also agreed, until the earliest of, nine months following the termination of the Merger Agreement, certain terminations of the Exchange Agreement, or the later of consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Agreement or certain dates for the meeting or taking of action by the stockholders of Starz, to vote all shares of Starz owned by such Stockholders against any Alternative Company Transaction Proposal (as defined in the Merger Agreement) or any agreement relating thereto. Under the Starz Voting Agreement, Lions Gate agreed to pay up to $1.6 million in reasonable out-of-pocket expenses of the Individual Stockholders and to indemnify the Individual Stockholders for losses relating to or arising out of the Starz Voting Agreement, the Merger Agreement and the Exchange Agreement.

The Starz Voting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 7(g) to this Schedule 13D/A and is incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing description of various terms of the Starz Voting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Starz Voting Agreement.

In connection with the Merger Agreement, on June 30, 2016, the parties entered into Amendment No. 1 to the Investor Rights Agreement (“Amendment No. 1 to Investor Rights Agreement”), which amends the Investor Rights Agreement, dated as of November 10, 2015 among Mammoth, Liberty, Discovery, Lions Gate, Liberty Global plc, Discovery Communications, Inc., and the affiliated funds of Mammoth party thereto, to, among other things, require Lions Gate to call a stockholder meeting in order to seek the approval of its stockholders for any issuance of New Issue Securities (as defined therein) to the Investors (as defined therein) pursuant to the pre-emptive rights granted in the Investor Rights Agreement, that occurs between the date of such stockholder meeting and the date that is five years following such meeting. Pursuant to Amendment No. 1 to Investor Rights Agreement, Mammoth, Liberty, Discovery, Liberty Global plc, Discovery Communications, Inc., and the affiliated funds of Mammoth party thereto have agreed to vote in favor of such approval, as has Dr. John C. Malone pursuant to the JM Voting Agreement. Lions Gate has agreed that it will not issue any New Issue Securities until it obtains stockholder approval for such issuance if stockholder approval would be required in order to give effect to the pre-emptive rights granted in the Investor Rights Agreement.

Amendment No. 1 to Investor Rights Agreement is filed as Exhibit 7(i) to this Schedule 13D/A and is incorporated by reference herein. The foregoing description of various terms of Amendment No. 1 to Investor Rights Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to Amendment No. 1 to Investor Rights Agreement.

Commitment Letter

On June 27, 2016, Lions Gate entered into a commitment letter (the “Commitment Letter”) with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A., Bank of America, N.A., Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated, Deutsche Bank AG New York Branch, Deutsche Bank AG Cayman Islands Branch, and Deutsche Bank Securities Inc. (the “Commitment Parties”). The Commitment Letter provides for (i) a $1,900 million term loan B facility (the “Term B Facility”), (ii) a $1,000 million term loan A facility (the “Term A Facility”), (iii) a $1,000 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility” and, together with the Term A Facility and Term B Facility, the “First Lien Facilities”)), (iv) a $520 million unsecured bridge facility (the “Bridge Facility”) and (v) a $150 million unsecured funded bridge

facility (the “Funded Bridge Facility” and, together with the First Lien Facilities and the Bridge Facility, the “Facilities”).

The borrower under each of the Facilities will be Lions Gate. The Facilities will be guaranteed by substantially all of Lions Gate’s wholly-owned restricted subsidiaries organized in Canada and the United States, and may be guaranteed by certain other subsidiaries subject to customary exceptions. The First Lien Facilities will be secured by a lien on substantially all assets of the borrower and the guarantors, subject to customary exceptions. The Bridge Facility and the Funded Bridge Facility will be unsecured. The proceeds of the Facilities will be used, among other things, to repay or refinance existing indebtedness of Lions Gate and Starz and to pay the consideration for the acquisition of Starz.

Each of the Term A Facility and the Revolving Facility will mature on the date five years after the Closing Date, and the Term B Facility will mature on the date seven years after the Closing Date. The loans under the Term A Facility and Term B Facility will amortize as set forth in the Commitment Letter. To the extent not repaid prior to dates specified therein, the Bridge Facility and Funded Bridge Facility will be converted into extended term loans and/or exchange notes in accordance with the terms of the Commitment Letter.

The Commitment Letter provides that Lions Gate’s borrowings under the First Lien Facilities will bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR or ABR plus the applicable margin set forth in the Commitment Letter. The Bridge Facility and the Funded Bridge Facility will each bear interest at a rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus the applicable margin set forth in the Commitment Letter.

Each of the Facilities will contain representations and warranties, affirmative and negative covenants and events of default customary for facilities of this nature. The closing of each of the Facilities is subject to certain conditions, including (i) the accuracy of certain representations and warranties, (ii) the absence of a specified material adverse effect having occurred with respect to Starz and its subsidiaries, (iii) the execution of satisfactory definitive documentation, and (iv) other customary closing conditions.

The Commitment Parties and their affiliates have various relationships with Lions Gate and its subsidiaries involving the provision of financial services, including investment banking, commercial banking and advisory services for which they receive customary fees and may do so in the future.

A copy of the Commitment Letter is included herein as Exhibit 7(j) and is incorporated herein by reference. The foregoing description of the Commitment Letter is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Commitment Letter.
