EXPLANATORY NOTE

This Amendment No. 16 (Amendment No. 16) amends the Schedule 13D first filed on March 28, 2011, and as amended subsequently (the Schedule 13D), by Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (the Reporting Person) with respect to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share of the Issuer (the Common Stock). This Amendment No. 16 reflects changes to Items 4 and 5 of the Schedule 13D. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have their respective meanings under the Schedule 13D.

 

Item 4.

Purpose of Transaction

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

On April 11, 2023, National CineMedia, LLC, the operating company for the Issuer, filed a voluntary petition for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the Bankruptcy Code) in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of Texas (the Bankruptcy Court) seeking relief under Chapter 11 of Title 11 of the Bankruptcy Code. On June 27, 2023, the Bankruptcy Court entered an order (the Order) confirming the Modified First Amended Plan of Reorganization of National CineMedia, LLC Pursuant to Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code (the Plan). Pursuant to the Order, the 4,849,345 Common Units of National CineMedia, LLC that were purportedly issued to a subsidiary of the Reporting Person pursuant to the March 29, 2023 Notice of Determination under the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement, dated February 13, 2007, between the Issuer and Cinemark Media, Inc. were never issued by the Issuer and shall not be issued by the Issuer under or in connection with the Plan. As a result of the transactions pursuant to the Plan, the Reporting Person is no longer a beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Issuers Common Stock.

On August 7, 2023, Mark Zoradi, a member of the Board of Directors of the Reporting Person, resigned from the Board of Directors of the Issuer.

 

Item 5.

Interest in Securities of the Issuer

Item 5 is hereby amended as follows:

(a) - (b) The Reporting Person, through its wholly-owned subsidiary, Cinemark USA, Inc. and its wholly-owned subsidiary Cinemark Media, Inc., currently may be deemed to beneficially own 4,369,080 shares of Common Stock. Cinemarks beneficial ownership of 4,369,080 shares of Common Stock equals approximately 4.5% of the Issuers issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, based upon 96,779,983 shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding, as reported in the Issuers Form 8-K filed on August 7, 2023.

Neither the filing of this Amendment No. 16 nor any of its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any executive officer or director of the Reporting Person or any of its subsidiaries listed on Schedule A hereto, is the beneficial owner of the Common Stock subject of this Amendment No. 16 for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.

(c) There have been no transactions in the shares of Common Stock during the sixty days prior to the date hereof by the Reporting Person.

(d) Not Applicable.

(e) On August 7, 2023, the Reporting Person ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of the Issuers Common Stock.
