Item 2.03.  Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.

On April 20, 2015, Starz, LLC, a subsidiary of Starz, entered into a credit agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) with The Bank of Nova Scotia, as Administrative Agent, and the other parties named therein, which replaced Starz, LLC’s existing bank credit facility.

The Credit Agreement provides for a $1 billion revolving credit facility, with a $50 million sub-limit for standby letters of credit. Starz, LLC may elect that the loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the Alternative Base Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin of 0.50% to 1.25% or the LIBO Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) plus a margin of 1.50% to 2.25%, depending on Starz, LLC’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement. Each loan may be prepaid at any time and from time to time without penalty other than customary breakage costs. No mandatory prepayments will be required. Any amounts prepaid on the revolving credit facility may be reborrowed.

The loans are scheduled to mature on April 20, 2020. Payment of the loans may be accelerated following certain customary events of default.

The payment and performance of Starz, LLC’s obligations under the Credit Agreement are guaranteed by each Material Domestic Subsidiary (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of Starz, LLC. In addition, pursuant to Pledge Agreements, the obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a pledge of all of Starz, LLC’s equity interests and a pledge of all equity interests of each Material Domestic Subsidiary held directly or indirectly by Starz, LLC. The Credit Agreement provides for release of the pledges if Starz, LLC’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio is less than 1.50 to 1.00 for two consecutive fiscal quarters.

The Credit Agreement contains certain affirmative and negative covenants, including certain restrictions with respect to liens, mergers, sales of assets, transactions with affiliates, indebtedness, dividends and investments and limitations on Starz, LLC’s Consolidated Leverage Ratio and Consolidated Interest Coverage Ratio, each as defined in the Credit Agreement.

The above discussion of the terms of the Credit Agreement is not complete and is qualified by reference to the full text of the Credit Agreement, filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference into this Item 2.03.
