So welcome back, everybody. We're very happy to be here with Lionsgate. We have Michael Burns on the end, who is fighting a cold; and Jeff Hirsch, the President and CEO of Starz; and for anyone -- Brent Navon, who's on my team. So I'll start, and then we'll take it from there.

Questions and Answers:

So Michael, you announced that you were hoping to sell a stake in both the studio and in Starz in November of 2021. It sounds like you'll know more about which, if any, strategic or financial partners might take a stake in the separated entities over the next few weeks. Why do you think the separation is the right thing to do given the rest of your peers have vertically integrated studios and streaming assets?
