<P STYLE="margin-top:6pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the &#147;BCBCA&#148;), the Company may indemnify a present or former director or
officer of the Company or a person who acts or acted at the Company&#146;s request as a director or officer of another corporation, or for an affiliate, of the Company, and his heirs and personal or other legal representatives, against all costs,
charges and expenses, including legal and other fees, and amounts paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, actually and reasonably incurred by him including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment in respect of any legal
proceeding or investigative action, whether current, threatened, pending or completed, to which he is made a party by reason of his position with the Company or such other corporation and provided that the director or officer acted honestly and in
good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company or such other corporation, and, in the case of a proceeding other than a civil proceeding, had reasonable grounds for believing that his conduct in respect of which the proceeding was
brought was lawful. Other forms of indemnification may be made only with court approval. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">In accordance with the Articles of the Company,
subject to the BCBCA, the Company must indemnify a director, officer, former director and former officer of the Company and his or her heirs and legal personal representatives against all eligible penalties to which such person is or may be liable,
and the Company must, after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in respect of that proceeding. In addition, subject to the BCBCA, the Company may indemnify any other
person. The Company entered into indemnity agreements with its directors, executive officers, and certain other key employees whereby the Company has agreed to indemnify the directors and officers to the extent permitted by the Company&#146;s
Articles and the BCBCA. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">At the special meeting of the Company&#146;s shareholders held in December 2016 to consider the proposed
reclassification of the Company&#146;s common shares as Class&nbsp;A Shares, the creation of the Class&nbsp;B Share and the merger of a subsidiary of the Company with and into Starz, the holders of the Company&#146;s common shares approved an
amendment to the Company&#146;s Articles in effect as of such date to provide that the Company would afford the same indemnifications to the current and former officers of the Company as were previously provided to the current and former directors
of the Company.</P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">The Company&#146;s Articles permit the Company, subject to the limitations contained in the BCBCA, to purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of any person (or his or her heirs or legal personal representatives) who: (a)&nbsp;is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company; (b)&nbsp;is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of a
corporation at a time when the corporation is or was an affiliate of the Company; (c)&nbsp;at the request of the Company, is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation or of a partnership, trust, joint venture or other
unincorporated entity; or (d)&nbsp;at the request of the Company, holds or held a position equivalent to that of a director or officer of a partnership, trust, joint venture or other unincorporated entity, against any liability incurred by him or
her as such director, officer, employee or agent or person who holds or held such equivalent position. The Company maintains directors and officers liability insurance and corporate reimbursement insurance. </P>

Item 4.
Description of Securities
Not applicable.
Item 5.
Interests of Named Experts and Counsel
Not applicable.
Item 6.
Indemnification of Directors and Officers
Under the Business Corporations Act (British Columbia) (the "BCBCA"), the Company may indemnify a present or former director or
officer of the Company or a person who acts or acted at the Company's request as a director or officer of another corporation, or for an affiliate, of the Company, and his heirs and personal or other legal representatives, against all costs,
charges and expenses, including legal and other fees, and amounts paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment, actually and reasonably incurred by him including an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment in respect of any legal
proceeding or investigative action, whether current, threatened, pending or completed, to which he is made a party by reason of his position with the Company or such other corporation and provided that the director or officer acted honestly and in
good faith with a view to the best interests of the Company or such other corporation, and, in the case of a proceeding other than a civil proceeding, had reasonable grounds for believing that his conduct in respect of which the proceeding was
brought was lawful. Other forms of indemnification may be made only with court approval.
In accordance with the Articles of the Company,
subject to the BCBCA, the Company must indemnify a director, officer, former director and former officer of the Company and his or her heirs and legal personal representatives against all eligible penalties to which such person is or may be liable,
and the Company must, after the final disposition of an eligible proceeding, pay the expenses actually and reasonably incurred by such person in respect of that proceeding. In addition, subject to the BCBCA, the Company may indemnify any other
person. The Company entered into indemnity agreements with its directors, executive officers, and certain other key employees whereby the Company has agreed to indemnify the directors and officers to the extent permitted by the Company's
Articles and the BCBCA.
At the special meeting of the Company's shareholders held in December 2016 to consider the proposed
reclassification of the Company's common shares as Class A Shares, the creation of the Class B Share and the merger of a subsidiary of the Company with and into Starz, the holders of the Company's common shares approved an
amendment to the Company's Articles in effect as of such date to provide that the Company would afford the same indemnifications to the current and former officers of the Company as were previously provided to the current and former directors
of the Company.
The Company's Articles permit the Company, subject to the limitations contained in the BCBCA, to purchase and
maintain insurance on behalf of any person (or his or her heirs or legal personal representatives) who: (a) is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the Company; (b) is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of a
corporation at a time when the corporation is or was an affiliate of the Company; (c) at the request of the Company, is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of a corporation or of a partnership, trust, joint venture or other
unincorporated entity; or (d) at the request of the Company, holds or held a position equivalent to that of a director or officer of a partnership, trust, joint venture or other unincorporated entity, against any liability incurred by him or
her as such director, officer, employee or agent or person who holds or held such equivalent position. The Company maintains directors and officers liability insurance and corporate reimbursement insurance.
4
The foregoing summaries are necessarily subject to the complete text of the BCBCA, the
Company's Articles, and the arrangements referred to above are qualified in their entirety by reference thereto.
The Company has
entered into indemnity agreements with its directors and officers that are in compliance with the BCBCA.
A directors' and
officers' insurance policy insures each of the Company's directors and officers against liabilities incurred in their capacity as such for which they are not otherwise indemnified, subject to certain exclusions. This is in addition to the
insurance coverage that the Company maintains in the event it is required to indemnify a director or officer for indemnifiable claims.
Item 7.
Exemption from Registration Claimed
Not applicable.
Item 8.
Exhibits
See the attached Exhibit Index at page 7, which is incorporated herein by reference.
Item 9.
Undertakings
(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration
Statement:
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent
post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement;
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or
any material change to such information in this Registration Statement;
provided, however,
that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii)
do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act
that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.
5
(2)That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities
Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering
thereof.
(3)To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered
which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining
any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant's annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan's annual report pursuant to
Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time
shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(h) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the
Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the provisions described in Item 6 above, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such
indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or
paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the
Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the
Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
