On May 15, 2026, Starz Entertainment Corp, a corporation organized under the laws of the province of British Columbia, Canada (hereinafter the “Company”), held its Annual General and Special Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to consider and vote upon the election of each of the nominated directors to the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), the reappointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, an advisory vote on the frequency of future say‑on‑pay votes, and an advisory vote to approve executive compensation. The proposals are described in detail in the Company’s Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission on April 2, 2026.

At the Annual Meeting, 91.71% of the Company’s Common Shares (the “Common Shares”) entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting were represented in person or by proxy. Based on the results of the vote, shareholders voted to elect all the Company’s director nominees, approved the re-appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2026, voted for one year as the advisory vote on the frequency of future say‑on‑pay votes, and approved the advisory vote on executive compensation.
