About the Lawsuit
Lionsgate and certain of its executives are charged with issuing a series of materially false and misleading statements during the Class Period, violating federal securities laws.
On March 13, 2014, the SEC issued an Order Instituting Cease-and-Desist Proceedings Pursuant to Section 21C of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, Making Findings, and Imposing a Cease-and-Desist Order concerning the SEC's investigation of false and misleading statements and omissions made by Lionsgate regarding a series of transactions designed to prevent a takeover of the Company by Carl Icahn and his affiliates. The Order revealed that Lionsgate settled the investigation by, among other things, agreeing to pay $7.5 million in fines and acknowledging that it had violated the federal securities laws.
