EXPLANATORY NOTE.

This Amendment No. 8 (“Amendment No. 8”) to Schedule 13D originally filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 23, 2008 by Regal Entertainment Group (“Regal”), The Anschutz Corporation (“TAC”) and Philip F. Anschutz (“Mr. Anschutz”) and amended on March 20, 2009, March 26, 2009, February 14, 2011, March 18, 2013, September 9, 2013, December 11, 2013 and March 28, 2016 (as so amended, the “Schedule 13D”) is filed following the disposition of all of the securities of Regal held by TAC and Mr. Anschutz. Philip F. Anschutz is the sole shareholder of TAC.

On February 28, 2018, Regal consummated the merger transaction (the “Merger”) contemplated by that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger, dated as of December 5, 2017, by and among Regal, Cineworld Group plc, a public limited company incorporated in England and Wales (the “Parent”), Crown Intermediate Holdco, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and Crown Merger Sub, Inc., a Delaware corporation, whereby Regal became a wholly-owned, indirect subsidiary of the Parent. As a result of the Merger, TAC and Mr. Anschutz are no longer beneficial owners of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) of National CineMedia, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“National CineMedia”).

This Amendment No. 8 amends Item 5 as set forth below, as a result of the transaction described above. The filing of this Amendment No. 8 represents the final amendment to the Schedule 13D and constitutes an exit filing for TAC and Mr. Anschutz.

Item 5. Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

Item 5 is hereby amended to replace Item 5(a) with the following:

(e) As a result of the Merger, TAC and Mr. Anschutz no longer own any shares of Regal and therefore no longer beneficially own any shares of National CineMedia’s Common Stock as of February 28, 2018.
