On August 12, 2026, Starz Entertainment Corp., along with its borrowing subsidiary Starz Capital Holdings LLC, entered into Amendment No. 1 and Incremental Amendment to its existing Credit and Guarantee Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. as administrative agent. The amendment expands the company's capital facilities by increasing the revolving credit commitments by $33 million and incurring $67 million in additional senior secured incremental term loans on substantially the same terms as the existing agreement. Following the transaction, the aggregate principal amount of revolving credit commitments grew to $183 million, and total term loans reached $367 million. The incremental term loans were borrowed in full on the closing date, with Starz directing the proceeds toward working capital and general corporate purposes, thereby bolstering its liquidity profile for ongoing content and operational investments.
The expansion provides STARZ with $100 million in combined incremental liquidity and debt funding to support operational flexibility and content production amidst competitive streaming market dynamics.
