Background on the Starz Securities Class Litigation

Starz operates as a media and entertainment company. According to the lawsuit, throughout the Class Period defendants issued materially false and misleading statements to investors and/or failed to disclose that: (1) Starz lacked adequate internal controls; (2) according to a former Starz senior executive, Starz’s contract with Comcast Corporation was a result of illicit business practices.

On October 29, 2015, online magazine Deadline Hollywood revealed that Starz’s former Senior Vice President of Sales and Affiliate Marketing Keno Thomas filed a lawsuit (the “Thomas Action”) against Starz and its Chief Executive Officer Christopher Albrecht, and Chief Revenue Officer Michael Thornton, among others. The Thomas Action alleges that: (1) the contract between Comcast Corporation and the Company, entered into on or about April 2014, was the result of illicit business practices; (2) Thomas was ordered by the Company’s senior management to fabricate revenue and subscriber information so that Thornton and Albrecht could present those falsified figures to the Company’s Board of Directors; and (3) the Company retaliated against Thomas for refusing to fabricate revenue and subscriber information.

On this news, shares of STRZA fell $3.69 per share, or nearly 10%, from a closing price of $37.20 on October 29, 2015, to close at $33.51 per share on October 30, 2015, and shares of STRZB fell $4.98 per share, or 13.2%, from a closing price of $37.71 on October 29, 2015, to close at $32.73 per share on October 30, 2015.
