Santa Monica, CA, and Vancouver, BC -- Lionsgate has named leading media and entertainment analyst James Marsh to run its investor relations activities as Senior Vice President, Investor Relations, the Company announced today. Marsh, who has 25 years' experience covering the media and entertainment sector for investment banks Piper Jaffray, Prudential and Kidder Peabody, among others, will be based at Lionsgate's Santa Monica, California corporate headquarters and will report to Lionsgate Chief Financial Officer Jimmy Barge.

He was also cofounder of Hanover Square Capital Management LLC, an equity fund focused on the consumer and media sectors.

"James is a superstar addition to our team who brings a deep understanding of our Company and industry to his position, and he is highly respected by shareholders and analysts alike," said Barge. "We believe that he will be an exceptionally effective and articulate spokesman for Lionsgate's strategy, performance and unique value proposition as we continue to grow our business around the world."

"I'm thrilled to join the Lionsgate team who I've known for nearly 10 years," said Marsh.

They have a great history of disrupting the industry on many fronts, and I look forward to helping communicate the Lionsgate story to the Street and its numerous constituencies."
