Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration
On February 13, 2007, the Issuer, National CineMedia, LLC (“NCM LLC”), Regal CineMedia
Holdings, LLC, American Multi-Cinema, Inc., Cinemark Media, Inc. (“Cinemark Media”), Regal Cinemas,
Inc. and Cinemark USA, Inc. (“Cinemark USA”), entered into a Common Unit Adjustment Agreement
(“Common Unit Adjustment Agreement”), which is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 1 hereto.
Cinemark Media and Cinemark USA are subsidiaries of Cinemark. The Common Unit Adjustment Agreement
provides a mechanism for adjusting units in NCM LLC (“NCM Units”) held by the members of NCM LLC
(the “Founding Members”), based on increases or decreases in attendance associated with theatre
additions and dispositions by each Founding Member. NCM Units are immediately redeemable on a
one-to-one basis for shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, or a cash payment equal to the market price of one
share of Common Stock of the Issuer. The Issuer is the sole manager of NCM LLC, and NCM LLC is the Issuer’s
operating subsidiary.
The adjustment of membership units pursuant to the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement is
conducted annually (“Annual Adjustment”), except that an earlier adjustment will occur for a
Founding Member if its acquisition or disposition of theatres, in a single transaction or
cumulatively since the most recent adjustment, will cause a change of two percent or more in the
total annual attendance (an “Extraordinary Adjustment”).
On March 31, 2010, pursuant to the 2009 Annual Adjustment, Cinemark Media received 1,757,548
NCM Units. Thus, including the 2009 Annual Adjustment, Cinemark Media currently owns 16,946,503
NCM Units, or approximately 28.69% of the Issuer’s Common Stock on an as-converted basis. In
accordance with the terms of the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement, no payments were made by or on
behalf of any party in exchange for the NCM Units received by Cinemark Media pursuant to the 2009
Annual Adjustment or any prior adjustment.
Item 4. Purpose of Transaction
Cinemark Media acquired the NCM Units for investment purposes pursuant to the terms of the
Common Unit Adjustment Agreement. Apart from continuing to give effect to the Common Unit
Adjustment Agreement, there are no plans or proposals that would relate to or result in any of the
events enumerated in Item 4(a)-(j).
Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.
(a) Including the 1,757,548 NCM Units that Cinemark Media received on March 31, 2010,
Cinemark currently may be deemed to beneficially own 16,946,503 shares of Common Stock of the
Issuer through Cinemark Media’s ownership of 16,946,503 NCM Units. NCM Units are immediately
redeemable on a one-to-one basis for shares of Common Stock of the
Issuer, or a cash payment equal to the market
price of one share of Common Stock of the Issuer. Cinemark’s beneficial ownership of 16,946,503 shares of Common
Stock equals approximately 28.69% of the Issuer’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on
an as-converted basis.
(b) Cinemark Media, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cinemark USA, Inc., Cinemark
USA, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. As a result, Cinemark Holdings,
Inc. is the ultimate parent company and therefore has the sole power to direct the vote or direct
the disposition of the shares reported.
(c) Except as described in this Schedule D, Cinemark nor any of its subsidiaries has entered
into any transaction involving the securities subject of this Schedule 13D within the past sixty
days.
(d) The Issuer, Regal CineMedia Holdings, LLC, American Multi-Cinema, Inc., and Cinemark
Media are parties to a Director Designation Agreement dated February 13, 2007 (“Director
Designation Agreement”), which is incorporated by reference to Exhibit 2 hereto. Pursuant to the
Director Designation Agreement, so long as Cinemark Media owns at least 5% of the total issued and
outstanding NCM Units, Cinemark Media will have the right to designate two nominees to the Issuer’s
board of directors. If at any time and only during such time, Cinemark Media owns less than 5% of
the total issued and outstanding NCM Units, then Cinemark Media will cease to have any rights of
designation. Thus, so long as Cinemark Media’s designated directors remain on the Issuer’s board,
they will participate in any board decisions regarding the receipt of dividends from, or the
proceeds from the sale of, the Issuer’s Common Stock.
(e) Not applicable.
Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer
None.
