Eros Media World plc Announces It Will Not Appeal NYSE Delisting Eros Media World Plc announced that it will not submit any further appeal with the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) to review the determination made by the NYSE to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s A ordinary shares and suspend trading immediately (the “Staff Determination”). The Staff Determination was based on the Company’s inability to file its annual reports on Form 20-F for the years ending March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022. In order to file a compliant annual report, the Company would have to include audited financials statements of STX Filmworks Inc., the Company’s accounting predecessor, for the fiscal years ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2020. This was not feasible because, among other reasons, (1) STX Filmworks Inc. is no longer part of the Company; (2) the Company does not have consent to utilize previously disclosed and audited historical financial statements of STX Filmworks Inc. in the Company’s Form 20-F for the transition period ended March 31, 2020; and (3) the Company no longer has access to financial and accounting information of STX Filmworks Inc. necessary to produce audited historical financial statements for the periods at issue. The Company sought relief from the SEC to omit these historical financial statements from the delayed Form 20-F for the years ending March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022, but was not able to obtain such relief. In light of these circumstances, the Company has determined that it will not be able to produce compliant annual reports on Form 20-F for the years ending March 31, 2021 and March 31, 2022, and hence has further determined to accept the Staff Determination without further appeal. Due to challenges in raising capital given the Company’s inability to file its annual reports on Form 20-F, the Company is exploring a number of potential strategies, including selected asset sales and strategic business restructuring, in order to raise cash to keep the company operating and to maximize shareholder value. The Company further announced that it has successfully concluded its Annual General Meeting on December 29, 2022 at the registered office of the Company at First Names House, Victoria Road, Douglas, Isle of Man IM2 4DF, British Isles.

Eros Media World Files an Appeal with NYSE Staff on Notice of Delisting Determination Eros Media World PLC has announced that it has duly filed an appeal with the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) to review the determination made by the NYSE Regulation to commence proceedings to delist the Company’s A ordinary shares and suspend trading immediately (the “Staff Determination”). The company’s request for a review of the Staff Determination by a committee of the Board of Directors of the NYSE is in accordance with Section 804.00 of the NYSE’s Listed Company Manual. The company’s request has been acknowledged by the NYSE last week in a letter, further confirming December 15, 2022 as scheduled date of review. As previously announced, on April 22, 2022, the Company completed the sale of its STX Entertainment business to an affiliate of The Najafi Companies. Although the sale of the STX Entertainment business was necessary to enable the Company to pursue its long-term strategy and maximize long term value for shareholders, the separation of the two companies caused complex financial reporting and other transition issues. The Company has been diligently working to address these issues, including working with its new auditors to be in a position to provide investors with current, audited financial statements.

Lionsgate Reportedly in Talks to Buy Some or All of STX Entertainment Lions Gate Entertainment Corp. (NYSE:LGF.A) is in discussions to acquire some or all of Eros STX Global Corporation (NYSE:ESGC) (STX Entertainment), insiders familiar with the matter told Variety. It’s an 11th hour wrinkle in the studio’s planned sale to a private equity player. Talks began late in 2021, according to sources, after STX had secured a buyer in The Najafi Companies, an investment firm run by Jahm Najafi, the Vice Chairman of the Phoenix Suns. In addition to Lionsgate, several other players are said to be bidding on STX though it’s unclear which suitor is in the lead (or if any substantially exceed Najafi’s offer). A Lionsgate spokesperson declined to comment on the matter. An STX spokesperson had no comment. While Lionsgate has interest in the company, other sources familiar with the negotiations described Najafi as eager to ensure that it didn’t lose out in its bid for control of the studio and “hesitant to get out of the way,” according to a knowledgable insider. STX is only days away from a February deadline to pay its creditors. Duyuru • Dec 09
