Item 5.05. Amendments to the Registrant’s Code of Ethics, or Waiver of a Provision of the Code of Ethics.
On September 9, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Starz Entertainment Corp., a corporation organized under the laws of the province of British Columbia, Canada (hereinafter the “Company”) amended and restated its Code of Business Conduct & Ethics (“Code”). The adoption of the Code by the Board did not result in any waiver with respect to any officer, director or employee of the Company from any provision of the Code as in effect prior to the Board’s action to adopt the Code. The Code was recommended for adoption by the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board as part of its review of the Company’s governance policies following the completion of the separation transaction of Lions Gate Entertainment Corp in May 2025. The Code was adopted to, among other things, generally update for current governance, ethics, and compliance best practices; better align various Company policies, including the Code, by eliminating certain redundant or overlapping provisions and consolidating similar topics in the appropriate policy; and make other non-substantive administrative, stylistic and typographical changes.
The foregoing summary description of the changes contained in the Code is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Code, a copy of which is filed herewith and incorporated by reference herein. A copy of the Code is also available on the Company’s investor relations website.
