Icahn, who controls 14.5 percent of the company's stock, said the offer is for all of its $150 million convertible senior subordinated notes due 2024 and for $175 million in notes due 2025.
Lions Gate was not immediately available for comment.
Lions Gate shares fell 27 cents, or 5.44 percent, to close at $4.69 on the New York Stock Exchange.
