The information in this prospectus is not complete and may be changed.

SUBJECT TO COMPLETION, DATED JUNE 26, 2013

PRELIMINARY PROSPECTUS

 

LOGO

CINEMARK USA, INC.

Offer to Exchange

all outstanding 4.875% Senior Notes due 2023

($530,000,000 aggregate principal amount)

for

4.875% Senior Notes due 2023

which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended

 

 

The exchange offer will expire at midnight, New York City time, on             , 2013, unless we extend the exchange offer. We do not currently intend to extend the exchange offer.

 

   

We are offering to exchange up to $530,000,000 aggregate principal amount of new 4.875% Senior Notes due 2023, or Exchange Notes, which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, for an equal principal amount of our outstanding 4.875% Senior Notes due 2023, or Initial Notes, issued in a private offering on May 24, 2013. We refer to the Exchange Notes and the Initial Notes collectively as the Notes.

 

   

We will exchange all Initial Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the closing of the exchange offer for an equal principal amount of Exchange Notes that have been registered.

 

   

You may withdraw tenders of Initial Notes at any time prior to the expiration of the exchange offer.

 

   

The terms of the Exchange Notes to be issued are identical in all material respects to the Initial Notes, except for transfer restrictions and registration rights that do not apply to the Exchange Notes, and different administrative terms.

 

   

The Exchange Notes, together with any Initial Notes not exchanged in the exchange offer, will constitute a single class of debt securities under the indenture governing the Notes.

 

   

The exchange of Initial Notes will not be a taxable exchange for United States federal income tax purposes. We will not receive any proceeds from the exchange offer.

 

   

No public market exists for the Initial Notes. We do not intend to list the Exchange Notes on any securities exchange and, therefore, no active public market is anticipated.

See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 15 for a discussion of factors that you should consider before tendering your Initial Notes.

Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. The related letter of transmittal states that by so acknowledging and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Notes received in exchange for Initial Notes where such Initial Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that, for a period of 12 months after the consummation of the exchange offer, we will make this prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. See “Plan of Distribution.”

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

 

 

The date of this prospectus is            , 2013.

Except as otherwise indicated by the context, references in this prospectus to “we,” “us,” “our, “ the “issuer” the “Company” or “Cinemark” are to the combined business of Cinemark USA, Inc. and all of its consolidated subsidiaries. Unless otherwise specified, all operating and other statistical data for the United States, or the U.S., include one theatre in Canada (that was sold during November 2010). All references to Latin America are to Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Guatemala. Unless otherwise specified, all operating data is as of March 31, 2013.

Our Company

We are a leader in the motion picture exhibition industry in terms of both attendance and the number of screens in operation. As of March 31, 2013, we operated 467 theatres and 5,259 screens in the U.S. and Latin America, and approximately 263.7 million patrons attended our theatres worldwide during the year ended December 31, 2012. Our circuit is the third largest in the U.S. with 298 theatres and 3,916 screens in 39 states as of March 31, 2013. We are the most geographically diverse circuit in Latin America with 169 theatres and 1,343 screens in 13 countries as of March 31, 2013.

We selectively build or acquire new theatres in markets where we can establish and maintain a strong market position. We believe our portfolio of modern theatres provides a preferred destination for moviegoers and contributes to our solid cash flows from operating activities. Our significant presence in the United States and Latin America has made us an important distribution channel for movie studios, particularly as they look to capitalize on the expanding worldwide box office. Our market leadership is attributable in large part to our senior executives, whose years of industry experience range from 16 to 54 years and who have successfully navigated us through many industry and economic cycles.

Revenues, operating income and net income attributable to Cinemark USA, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2012 were $2,473.5 million, $385.9 million and $170.3 million, respectively, and were $547.8 million, $66.2 million and $32.9 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2013. At March 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $723.8 million and long-term debt of $1,761.8 million. Approximately $248.3 million, or approximately 14%, of our total long-term debt accrues interest at variable rates and approximately $8.8 million of our long-term debt matures in the next 12 months.

Currently, 100% of our first-run domestic theatres are fully digital and we continue to convert our international theatres, which were approximately 43% digital as of March 31, 2013. Digital projection technology gives us greater flexibility in programming and facilitates the exhibition of live and pre-recorded alternative entertainment. We also continue to roll out our Cinemark XD Extreme Digital Cinema, or XD, which offers a premium experience auditorium concept utilizing large screens and the latest in digital projection and enhanced custom sound technologies. The XD experience includes wall-to-wall and ceiling-to-floor screens, wrap-around sound, plush seating and a maximum comfort entertainment environment for an intense sensory experience. We charge a premium price for the XD experience. The XD technology does not require special format movie prints, which allows us the flexibility to play any available digital print we choose, including 3-D content, in the XD auditorium. As of March 31, 2013, we had 120 XD auditoriums in our circuit and have plans to install 30 to 40 more XD auditoriums during the remainder of 2013.

Table of Contents

During 2010, we introduced our NextGen concept, which features wall-to-wall and ceiling-to-floor screens and the latest digital projection and sound technologies in all of the auditoriums of a complex. These theatres generally also have an XD auditorium, which offers the wall-to-wall and ceiling-to-floor screen in a larger auditorium with enhanced sound and seating. Most of our future domestic theatres will incorporate this NextGen concept. As of March 31, 2013, 109 screens within nine theatres have the NextGen concept. Eight of these nine theatres also have an XD screen.

Competitive Strengths

We believe the following strengths allow us to compete effectively:

Disciplined Operating Philosophy. We generated operating income and net income attributable to Cinemark USA, Inc. of $385.9 million and $170.3 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2012 and $66.2 million and $32.9 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Our solid operating performance is a result of our disciplined operating philosophy that centers on building high quality assets, while negotiating favorable theatre level economics, controlling operating costs and effectively reacting to economic and market changes.

Leading Position in Our U.S. Markets. We have a leading market share in the U.S. metropolitan and suburban markets we serve. For the year ended December 31, 2012, we ranked either first or second based on box office revenues in 24 out of our top 30 U.S. markets, including the San Francisco Bay Area, Dallas, Houston, Salt Lake City and Sacramento.

Strategically Located in Heavily Populated Latin American Markets. Since 1993, we have invested throughout Latin America in response to the continued growth of the region. As of March 31, 2013, we operated 169 theatres and 1,343 screens in 13 countries. Our international screens generated revenues of $777.7 million, or 31.4% of our total revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2012. We have successfully established a significant presence in major cities in the region, with theatres in 14 of the 15 largest metropolitan areas. We are the largest exhibitor in Brazil and Argentina. Our geographic diversity makes us an important distribution channel to the movie studios. As of March 31, 2013, approximately 88% of our international first-run screens offered stadium seating. We are well-positioned with our modern, large-format theatres to take advantage of these factors for further growth and diversification of our revenues.

State-of-the-Art Theatre Circuit. We offer state-of-the-art theatres, which we believe makes our theatres a preferred destination for moviegoers in our markets. During 2012, we increased the size of our circuit by adding 129 new state-of-the-art screens worldwide, while closing 41 screens. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we added two theatres and 19 screens. As of March 31, 2013, we had commitments to open 292 additional new screens over the next three years. We have installed digital projection technology in 100% of our U.S. first-run auditoriums and approximately 43% of our international auditoriums, with plans to install digital projection technology in 100% of our international auditoriums. As of March 31, 2013, approximately 51% of our U.S. screens and 40% of our international screens were 3-D compatible. We also have eight digital IMAX screens. As of March 31, 2013, we had 120 XD auditoriums in our theatres and have plans to install 30 to 40 additional XD auditoriums during the remainder of 2013. Our new NextGen theatre concept provides further credence to our commitment to provide a continuing state-of-the-art movie-viewing experience to our patrons.

Solid Balance Sheet with Significant Cash Flow from Operating Activities. We generate significant cash flow from operating activities as a result of several factors, including a geographically diverse and modern theatre circuit and management’s ability to control costs and effectively react to economic and market changes. Additionally, owning land and buildings for 41 of our theatres is a strategic advantage that enhances our cash flows. We believe our expected level of cash flow generation will provide us with the financial flexibility to

continue to pursue growth opportunities, support our debt payments and continue to make dividend payments to our stockholders. In addition, as of March 31, 2013, we owned approximately 18.7 million units of National CineMedia, LLC, or NCM, which are convertible into shares of National CineMedia, Inc.’s common stock and owned approximately 1.2 million shares of RealD Inc., or RealD, both of which offer us an additional source of cash flows. As of March 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $723.8 million.

Experienced Management. Led by Chairman and founder Lee Roy Mitchell, Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Operating Officer Timothy Warner, Chief Financial Officer Robert Copple and President- International Valmir Fernandes, our management team has many years of theatre operating experience, ranging from 16 to 54 years, executing a focused strategy that has led to consistent operating results. This management team has successfully navigated us through many industry and economic cycles.

Our Strategy

We believe our disciplined operating philosophy and experienced management team will enable us to continue to enhance our leading position in the motion picture exhibition industry. Key components of our strategy include:

Establish and Maintain Leading Market Positions. We will continue to seek growth opportunities by building or acquiring modern theatres that meet our strategic, financial and demographic criteria. We focus on establishing and maintaining a leading position in the markets we currently serve. We also monitor economic and market trends to ensure we offer a broad range of products and prices that satisfy our patrons.

Continue to Focus on Operational Excellence. We will continue to focus on achieving operational excellence by controlling theatre operating costs and adequately training our staff while continuing to provide leading customer service. Our margins reflect our track record of operating efficiency.

Selectively Build in Profitable, Strategic Latin American Markets. Our continued international expansion will remain focused primarily on Latin America through construction of modern, state-of-the-art theatres in growing urban markets. As of March 31, 2013, we had commitments to build 12 new theatres with 76 screens during the remainder of 2013 and three new theatres with 23 screens subsequent to 2013, investing an additional $88 million in our Latin American markets. We also plan to install digital projection technology in all of our international auditoriums, which allows us to present 3-D and alternative content in these markets. As of March 31, 2013, approximately 40% of our international auditoriums were 3-D compatible. As of March 31, 2013, we had 45 of our proprietary XD auditoriums installed in our international theatres and have plans to install approximately 15 to 20 additional XD auditoriums internationally during the remainder of 2013.

Commitment to Digital Innovation. Our commitment to technological innovation has resulted in us being 100% digital in our U.S. first-run auditoriums as of March 31, 2013, approximately 51% of which are 3-D compatible. We also had 576 digital auditoriums in our international markets as of March 31, 2013, 539 of which are 3-D compatible. We are planning to convert 100% of our worldwide circuit to digital projection technology, approximately 40-50% of which will be 3-D compatible. We also plan to expand our XD auditorium footprint in various markets throughout the U.S. and in select international markets, which offers our patrons a premium movie-viewing experience.

Our Industry

Domestic Markets

The U.S. motion picture exhibition industry has a track record of long-term growth, with box office revenues growing at an estimated compound annual growth rate, or CAGR, of 1.7% from 2002 to 2012. Against this background of steady long-term growth, the exhibition industry has experienced periodic short-term increases and decreases in attendance, and consequently box office revenues. According to data published by MPAA, 2012 U.S. box office revenues were approximately $10.8 billion, an approximate 6% increase over 2011, and an all-time industry record.

The following table represents the results of a survey by MPAA published during March 2013, outlining the historical trends in U.S. box office performance for the ten year period from 2003 to 2012:

International Markets

International box office revenues continue to grow. According to MPAA, international box office revenues were $23.9 billion for the year ended December 31, 2012, which is a result of strong economies, ticket price increases and new theatre construction. According to MPAA, Latin American box office revenues were $2.8 billion for the year ended December 31, 2012, representing a 6% increase from 2011.

Growth in Latin America is expected to continue to be fueled by a combination of robust economies, growing populations, an emerging middle class, attractive demographics (i.e., a significant teenage population), substantial retail development, and quality product from Hollywood, including an increasing number of 3-D

films. In many Latin American countries including, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Colombia and Chile, successful local film product can also provide incremental box office growth opportunities.

We believe many international markets for theatrical exhibition have historically been underserved and that certain of these markets, especially those in Latin America, will continue to experience growth as additional modern stadium-styled theatres are introduced, film product offerings continue to expand and the local economies continue to grow.

Drivers of Continued Industry Success

We believe the following market trends will drive the continued growth and strength of our industry:

Importance of Theatrical Success in Establishing Movie Brands and Subsequent Markets. Theatrical exhibition is the primary distribution channel for new motion picture releases. A successful theatrical release which “brands” a film is one of the major factors in determining its success in “downstream” markets, such as digital downloads, DVDs, network and syndicated television, video on-demand, pay-per-view television and the Internet.

Increased Importance of International Markets for Box Office Success. International markets continue to be an increasingly important component of the overall box office revenues generated by Hollywood films, accounting for $23.9 billion, or approximately 69% of 2012 total worldwide box office revenues according to MPAA. With the continued growth of the international motion picture exhibition industry, we believe the relative contribution of markets outside North America will become even more significant. Many of the top U.S. films released recently also performed exceptionally well in international markets. Such films included The Avengers, which grossed approximately $892.3 million in international markets, or 59% of its worldwide box office, Ice Age: Continental Drift, which grossed approximately $716.1 million in international markets, or 82% of its worldwide box office, and Skyfall, which grossed approximately $726.4 million in international markets, or 71% of its worldwide box office.

Stable Long-Term Attendance Trends. We believe that long-term trends in motion picture attendance in the U.S. will continue to benefit the industry. Even during the recent recessionary period, attendance levels remained stable as consumers selected the theatre as a preferred value for their discretionary income. With the motion picture exhibition industry’s transition to digital projection technology, the products offered by motion picture exhibitors continue to expand, attracting a broader base of patrons.

Convenient and Affordable Form of Out-Of-Home Entertainment. Movie-going continues to be one of the most convenient and affordable forms of out-of-home entertainment, with an estimated average ticket price in the U.S. of $7.96 in 2012. Average prices in 2012 for other forms of out-of-home entertainment in the U.S., including sporting events and theme parks, range from approximately $27.00 to $78.00 per ticket according to MPAA.

Innovation with Digital Technology. Our industry began its conversion to digital projection technology during 2009, which has allowed exhibitors to expand their product offerings. Digital projection allows the presentation of 3-D content and alternative entertainment such as live and pre-recorded sports programs, concert events, the opera and other special presentations. These additional programming alternatives may expand the industry’s customer base and increase patronage for exhibitors.

Summary of the Terms of the Exchange Offer

 

The Exchange Offer    We are offering to exchange up to $530,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 4.875% Senior Notes due 2023 that have been registered under the Securities Act for up to $530,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 4.875% Senior Notes due 2023 issued on May 24, 2013, which we refer to herein as the exchange offer. You may exchange your Initial Notes only by following the procedures described elsewhere in this prospectus under “The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes.”
Registration Rights Agreement    We issued the Initial Notes on May 24, 2013. In connection with the issuance of the Initial Notes, we entered into the registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers of the notes, or the initial purchasers, which provides, among other things, for the exchange offer.
Resale of Exchange Notes   

Based upon interpretive letters written by the Commission, we believe that the Exchange Notes issued in the exchange offer may be offered for resale, resold or otherwise transferred by you without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that:

 

• You are acquiring the Exchange Notes in the ordinary course of your business;

 

• You are not participating, do not intend to participate and have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate, in the distribution of the Exchange Notes; and

 

• You are not our “affiliate”, as that term is defined for the purposes of Rule 144A under the Securities Act.

   If any of the foregoing are not true and you transfer any Exchange Note without registering the Exchange Note and delivering a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act, or without an exemption from registration of your Exchange Notes from such requirements, you may incur liability under the Securities Act. We do not assume any responsibility for, and will not indemnify you for, any such liability.
   Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account in exchange for Initial Notes that were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the Exchange Notes. A broker-dealer may use this prospectus for an offer to resell, a resale or any other retransfer of the Exchange Notes. See “Plan of Distribution.”

Consequences of Failure to Exchange

Initial Notes

   Initial Notes that are not tendered or that are tendered but not accepted will, following the completion of the exchange offer, continue to be subject to existing restrictions upon transfer. The trading market for Initial Notes not exchanged in the exchange offer

   may be significantly more limited than at present. Therefore, if your Initial Notes are not tendered and accepted in the exchange offer, it may become more difficult for you to sell or transfer your Initial Notes. Furthermore, you will no longer be able to compel us to register the Initial Notes under the Securities Act and we will not be required to pay additional interest as described in the registration rights agreement. In addition, you will not be able to offer or sell the Initial Notes unless they are registered under the Securities Act (and we will have no obligation to register them, except for some limited exceptions), or unless you offer or sell them under an exemption from the requirements of, or a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act.
Expiration of the Exchange Offer    The exchange offer will expire at midnight, New York City time, on             , 2013, unless we decide to extend the expiration date.
Conditions to the Exchange Offer    The exchange offer is not subject to any condition other than certain customary conditions, which we may, but are not required to, waive. We currently anticipate that each of the conditions will be satisfied and that we will not need to waive any conditions. We reserve the right to terminate or amend the exchange offer at any time before the expiration date if any such condition occurs. In the event of a material change in the exchange offer, including the waiver of a material condition, we will extend, if necessary, the expiration date of the exchange offer such that at least five business days remain in the exchange offer following notice of the material change. For additional information regarding the conditions to the exchange offer, see “The Exchange Offer—Conditions to the Exchange Offer.”

Procedures for Tendering Initial

Notes

   If you wish to accept the exchange offer, you must complete, sign and date the letter of transmittal, or a facsimile of the letter of transmittal, and transmit it together with all other documents required by the letter of transmittal (including the Initial Notes to be exchanged) to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as exchange agent, at the address set forth on the cover page of the letter of transmittal. In the alternative, you can tender your Initial Notes by following the procedures for book-entry transfer, as described in this prospectus. There is no procedure for guaranteed late delivery of Initial Notes. For more information on accepting the exchange offer and tendering your Initial Notes, see “The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes” and “—Book-Entry Transfer.”

Special Procedure for Beneficial

Holders

   If you are a beneficial holder whose Initial Notes are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee and you wish to tender your Initial Notes in the exchange offer, you should contact the registered holder promptly and instruct the registered holder to tender your Initial Notes on your behalf. If you are a beneficial holder and you wish to tender your Initial Notes on your own behalf, you must, prior to delivering the letter of transmittal and your Initial Notes to the exchange agent,

Table of Contents
   either make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of your Initial Notes in your own name or obtain a properly completed bond power from the registered holder. The transfer of registered ownership may take considerable time.
Withdrawal Rights    You may withdraw the tender of your Initial Notes at any time prior to midnight, New York City time, on the expiration date. To withdraw, you must send a written or facsimile transmission of your notice of withdrawal to the exchange agent at its address set forth in this prospectus under “The Exchange Offer—Withdrawal of Tenders” by midnight, New York City time, on the expiration date.

Acceptance of Initial Notes and

Delivery of Exchange Notes

   Subject to certain conditions, we will accept all Initial Notes that are properly tendered in the exchange offer and not withdrawn prior to midnight, New York City time, on the expiration date. We will deliver the Exchange Notes promptly after the expiration date. Initial Notes will be validly tendered and not validly withdrawn if they are tendered in accordance with the terms of the exchange offer as detailed under “The Exchange Offer—Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes” and not withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the exchange offer as detailed under “The Exchange Offer—Withdrawal of Tenders.”

United States Federal Tax

Consequences

   We believe that the exchange of Initial Notes for Exchange Notes generally will not be a taxable exchange for federal tax purposes, but you should consult your tax adviser about the tax consequences of this exchange. See “Certain United States Federal Tax Consequences.”
Exchange Agent    Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., the trustee under the indenture governing the Notes, is serving as exchange agent in connection with the exchange offer. The mailing address of the exchange agent is set forth on the cover page of the letter of transmittal.
Fees and Expense    We will bear all expenses related to consummating the exchange offer and complying with the registration rights agreement.
Use of Proceeds    We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the Exchange Notes. We received net proceeds of approximately $522 million from the issuance of the Initial Notes. We used the net proceeds, together with cash on hand, for the redemption of the 8.625% Senior Notes, which was completed on June 24, 2013.
Regulatory Approvals    Other than the federal securities laws, there are no federal or state regulatory requirements that we must comply with and there are no approvals that we must obtain in connection with the exchange offer.

Ratio of Earnings to Fixed Charges

Our ratio of earnings to fixed charges for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and the years ended December 31, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011 and 2012 was 1.84, 1.11, 2.28, 2.11, 2.02, and 2.45, respectively. For purposes of calculating the ratio of earnings to fixed charges, earnings consist of pre-tax income from continuing operations before adjustments for income or loss from equity investees, fixed charges, amortization of capitalized interest, and distributed income of equity investees. Fixed charges consist of interest expense, capitalized interest, amortization of debt issue costs and that portion of rental expense which we believe to be representative of the interest factor.

RISK FACTORS

You should consider carefully the following risks and other information included in this prospectus, including our financial statements and related notes and schedules, before you decide to participate in this exchange offer. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and operating results could be adversely affected. As a result, the trading price of the Exchange Notes could decline, perhaps significantly, and our ability to pay principal and interest on the Exchange Notes could be adversely affected.

Risks Related to the Exchange Notes and this Exchange Offer

Your failure to participate in the exchange offer may have adverse consequences.

If you do not exchange your Initial Notes for Exchange Notes pursuant to the exchange offer, you will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer of your Initial Notes, as set forth in the legend on your Initial Notes. The restrictions on transfer of your Initial Notes arise because we sold the Initial Notes in private offerings. In general, the Initial Notes may not be offered or sold, unless registered under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, such requirements.

After completion of the exchange offer, holders of Initial Notes who do not tender their Initial Notes in the exchange offer will no longer be entitled to any exchange or registration rights under the registration rights agreement, except under limited circumstances. The tender of Initial Notes under the exchange offer will reduce the principal amount of the currently outstanding Initial Notes. Due to the corresponding reduction in liquidity, this may have an adverse effect upon, and increase the volatility of, the market price of any currently outstanding Initial Notes that you continue to hold following completion of the exchange offer. See “The Exchange Offer.”

You must comply with the exchange offer procedures in order to receive new, freely tradable Exchange Notes.

Delivery of Exchange Notes in exchange for Initial Notes tendered and accepted for exchange pursuant to the exchange offer will be made provided the procedures for tendering the Initial Notes are followed. We are not required to notify you of defects or irregularities in tenders of Initial Notes for exchange. See “The Exchange Offer.”

Some holders who exchange their Initial Notes may be deemed to have received restricted securities, and these holders will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements in connection with any resale transaction.

If you exchange your Initial Notes in the exchange offer for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the Exchange Notes, you may be deemed to have received restricted securities and, if so, will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction.

An active trading market for the Exchange Notes may not develop.

There is no existing market for the Exchange Notes. The Exchange Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. There can be no assurance that a trading market for the Exchange Notes will ever develop or will be maintained. Further, there can be no assurance as to the liquidity of any market that may develop for the Exchange Notes, your ability to sell your Exchange Notes or the price at which you will be able to sell your Exchange Notes. Future trading prices of the Exchange Notes will depend on many factors, including prevailing interest rates, our financial condition and results of operations, the then-current ratings assigned to the Exchange Notes, the market for similar securities and the results of our competitors. In addition, if a large amount of Initial Notes are not tendered or are tendered improperly, the limited amount of Exchange Notes that would be issued

 

15


Table of Contents

and outstanding after we consummate this exchange offer would reduce liquidity and could lower the market price of those Exchange Notes.

Any trading market that develops would be affected by many factors independent of and in addition to the foregoing, including:

 

   

our operating performance and financial condition;

 

   

time remaining to the maturity of the Notes;

 

   

outstanding amount of the Notes;

 

   

the terms related to optional redemption of the Notes; and

 

   

level, direction and volatility of market interest rates generally.

We have substantial long-term lease and debt obligations, which may restrict our ability to fund current and future operations and that restrict our ability to enter into certain transactions.

We have, and will continue to have, significant long-term debt service obligations and long-term lease obligations. As of March 31, 2013, we had $1,770.1 million in long-term debt obligations, $154.7 million in capital lease obligations and $1,847.0 million in long-term operating lease obligations. As of March 31, 2013, on an as adjusted basis, after giving effect to the issuance of the Initial Notes and the use of proceeds therefrom, we would have had $1,830.1 million in long-term debt obligations. We incurred interest expense of $123.7 million and $32.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 and for the three months ended March 31, 2013, respectively. We also incurred $281.6 million and $69.6 million of facility lease expense under operating leases for the year ended December 31, 2012 and for the three months ended March 31, 2013, respectively (the terms under these operating leases, excluding optional renewal periods, range from one to 25 years). Our substantial lease and debt obligations pose risk to you by:

 

   

making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to the Exchange Notes;

 

   

requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to payments on our lease and debt obligations, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other corporate requirements and to pay dividends;

 

   

impeding our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and general corporate purposes;

 

   

subjecting us to the risk of increased sensitivity to interest rate increases on our variable rate debt, including our borrowings under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility; and

 

   

making us more vulnerable to a downturn in our business and competitive pressures and limiting our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our industry or the economy.

We may incur substantial additional indebtedness, including additional secured debt.

Subject to the restrictions in the indenture governing the Notes and in other instruments governing our other outstanding debt, we and our subsidiaries may incur substantial additional debt in the future, including substantial secured debt. Although the indenture governing the Notes and the instruments governing certain of our other outstanding debt (including the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility and the indentures governing the 5.125% Senior Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes) contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional debt, these restrictions are subject to a number of significant qualifications and exceptions, and debt (including secured debt) incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. To the extent new debt is added to our current debt levels, the substantial leverage-related risks described above would increase. As of March 31, 2013, there were no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit line of the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility. If we or any of our subsidiaries that is a guarantor of the Exchange Notes incur any additional

 

16


Table of Contents

debt that ranks equally with the Exchange Notes (or with the guarantee thereof), including trade payables, the holders of that debt will be entitled to share ratably with holders of Exchange Notes in any proceeds distributed in connection with any insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding-up of us or such guarantor. If we or any of our subsidiaries that is a guarantor of the Exchange Notes incur any additional secured debt, the holders of that debt will have recourse to the assets securing that debt prior to any distribution to unsecured creditors, including the holders of the Exchange Notes. Accordingly, additional debt, and in particular, additional secured debt, may reduce the amount of proceeds paid to holders of the Exchange Notes in connection with such a distribution.

To service our indebtedness, we will require a significant amount of cash, and our ability to generate cash flow depends on many factors beyond our control.

Our ability to make scheduled payments of principal and interest with respect to our indebtedness, including the Exchange Notes, will depend on our ability to generate cash flow and on our future financial results. Similarly, the ability of our guarantors to make payments on and refinance their indebtedness will depend on their ability to generate cash in the future. Our ability to generate cash flow is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. We and our guarantors cannot assure you that we will continue to generate cash flow at current levels, or that future borrowings will be available under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility in an amount sufficient to enable any of us to pay our indebtedness, including the Exchange Notes. If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our lease and debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell assets or operations, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness, including the Exchange Notes. We may not be able to take any of these actions, and these actions may not be successful or permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations and these actions may not be permitted under the terms of our existing or future debt agreements, including the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility, the indentures governing the 5.125% Senior Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes and the indenture governing the Notes. In the absence of such operating results and resources, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to dispose of material assets or operations to meet our debt service and other obligations. The Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility and the indenture governing the 5.125% Senior Notes restrict our ability to dispose of assets and use the proceeds from the disposition. We may not be able to consummate those dispositions or to obtain the proceeds which we could realize from them and these proceeds may not be adequate to meet any debt service obligations then due.

If we fail to make any required payment under the agreements governing our leases and indebtedness or fail to comply with the financial and operating covenants contained in them, we would be in default and, as a result, our debt holders would have the ability to require that we immediately repay our outstanding indebtedness and the lenders under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility could terminate their commitments to lend us money and foreclose against the assets securing their borrowings and we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation, which could result in the loss of your investment in the Exchange Notes. The acceleration of our indebtedness under one agreement may permit acceleration of indebtedness under other agreements that contain cross-default and cross- acceleration provisions. If our indebtedness is accelerated, we may not be able to repay our indebtedness or borrow sufficient funds to refinance it. Even if we are able to obtain new financing, it may not be on commercially reasonable terms or on terms that are acceptable to us. If our debt holders require immediate payment, we may not have sufficient assets to satisfy our obligations under the Exchange Notes, the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility, the 5.125% Senior Notes, the Senior Subordinated Notes and our other indebtedness.

Your right to receive payments on the Exchange Notes is effectively junior to the right of lenders who have a security interest in our assets to the extent of the value of those assets.

Our obligations under the Exchange Notes and our guarantors’ obligations under their guarantees of the Exchange Notes will be unsecured, but our obligations under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility and each guarantor’s obligations under its guarantee of our indebtedness under the Amended Senior Secured Credit

Table of Contents

Facility are secured by a security interest in substantially all of our domestic tangible and intangible assets, including the stock of substantially all of our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. If we are declared bankrupt or insolvent, or if we are in default under our secured debt, the amounts owed thereunder, together with any accrued interest, could become immediately due and payable. If we were unable to repay such indebtedness, the holders of our secured debt could foreclose on the pledged assets to the exclusion of holders of the Exchange Notes, even if an event of default exists under the indenture governing the Notes at such time, and the assets that secure the secured debt will not be available to pay our obligations under the Exchange Notes unless and until payment in full of our secured debt. In any such event, because the Exchange Notes are not secured, it is possible that there would be no assets from which your claims could be satisfied or, if any assets existed, they might be insufficient to satisfy your claims in full.

The guarantees of the Exchange Notes will have a similar ranking with respect to secured and unsecured debt of our guarantors as the Exchange Notes do with respect to our secured and unsecured debt.

As of March 31, 2013, we had $698.3 million outstanding under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility. Subject to the limits set forth in the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility and the indentures governing the Notes, the 5.125% Senior Notes, and the Senior Subordinated Notes, we may also incur additional secured debt.

Our ability to repay our debt, including the Exchange Notes, is affected by the cash flow generated by our subsidiaries.

Our subsidiaries own some of our assets and conduct some of our operations. Accordingly, repayment of our indebtedness, including the Exchange Notes, will be dependent on the generation of cash flow by our subsidiaries and their ability to make such cash available to us, by dividend, debt repayment or otherwise. Unless they are guarantors, our subsidiaries will not have any obligation to pay amounts due on the Exchange Notes or to make funds available for that purpose. Our subsidiaries may not be able to, or may not be permitted to, make distributions to enable us to make payments in respect of our indebtedness, including the Exchange Notes. Each subsidiary is a distinct legal entity and, under certain circumstances, legal and contractual restrictions may limit our ability to obtain cash from our subsidiaries. While the indenture governing the Notes limits the ability of our non-guarantor subsidiaries to incur consensual encumbrances and restrictions on their ability to pay dividends and make other intercompany payments to us, these limitations are subject to certain qualifications and exceptions. In the event that we do not receive distributions from our subsidiaries, we may be unable to make required principal and interest payments on our indebtedness, including the Exchange Notes.

We have capacity to make substantial restricted payments.

We have capacity to make substantial restricted payments, which include dividends, stock and subordinated debt repurchases and minority investments. Our direct parent, Cinemark Holdings, relies on distributions from us to make dividend payments to its stockholders and for other ongoing operating expenses. As of March 31, 2013, we would have been able to make approximately $1,146.8 million of restricted payments under the formula set forth in the covenant described under the caption “Description of Exchange Notes—Certain Covenants— Restricted Payments,” subject to other limitations set forth in that covenant and in the covenants governing our other indebtedness, and limitations imposed by applicable law. In addition, the indenture governing the Notes will permit us to make substantial other restricted payments and substantial permitted investments.

Claims of noteholders will be structurally subordinated to claims of creditors of our non-guarantor subsidiaries.

We conduct some of our operations through our subsidiaries, and certain of our subsidiaries will not guarantee the Exchange Notes. You will not have a claim as a creditor against any of our subsidiaries that are not guarantors of the Exchange Notes, and the indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, whether secured or unsecured, of those non-guarantor subsidiaries (other than indebtedness and liabilities owed to us) will

 

18


Table of Contents

be structurally senior to your claims as a noteholder. Subject to certain limitations, the indenture governing the Notes permits us to form or acquire additional subsidiaries that are not guarantors of the Exchange Notes and to permit such non-guarantor subsidiaries to acquire and incur additional indebtedness. Noteholders would not have any claim as a creditor against any of our non-guarantor subsidiaries to the assets and earnings of those non-guarantor subsidiaries. The claims of the creditors of those non-guarantor subsidiaries, including their trade creditors, banks and other lenders, would have priority over any of our claims or those of our other subsidiaries as equity holders of our non-guarantor subsidiaries. Consequently, in any insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding-up of any of our non-guarantor subsidiaries, creditors of those subsidiaries would be paid before any amounts would be distributed to us or to any of our guarantors as equity, and thus be available to satisfy our obligations under the Exchange Notes and other claims against us or our guarantors.

For the three months ended March 31, 2013, our non-guarantor subsidiaries generated in the aggregate $189.6 million, or 35%, of our consolidated revenues. As of March 31, 2013, our non-guarantor subsidiaries accounted for $1,094.3 million, or 28%, of our consolidated total assets and their indebtedness and other liabilities (excluding indebtedness and other liabilities owed to us) were $280.1million in the aggregate. The indenture governing the Notes will permit these subsidiaries to incur significant additional debt.

The guarantees of the Exchange Notes may be released in a variety of circumstances.

Any guarantee of the Exchange Notes may be released without action by, or consent of, any holder of the Exchange Notes or the trustee under the indenture governing the Notes if a guarantor is no longer a guarantor or otherwise liable with respect to any of our and our guarantors’ other indebtedness, including the indebtedness under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility. A guarantee of the Exchange Notes may be released if the board of directors declares a subsidiary guarantor unrestricted as defined in the indenture governing the Notes. In addition, a guarantee of the Exchange Notes will be released upon the sale of capital stock of a guarantor or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of a guarantor in transactions that comply with the terms of the indenture governing the Notes and in certain other circumstances. See “Description of Exchange Notes—Subsidiary Guarantees.” You will not have a claim as a creditor against any subsidiary that is no longer a guarantor of the Exchange Notes, and the indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, whether secured or unsecured, of those non-guarantor subsidiaries (other than indebtedness and liabilities owed to us) will be structurally senior to your claims.

If we default on our obligations to pay our other indebtedness, we may not be able to make payments on the Exchange Notes.

If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow and are otherwise unable to obtain funds necessary to meet required payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness, or if we otherwise fail to comply with the various covenants under the agreements governing our indebtedness, including any financial and operating covenants, we could be in default under the terms of such agreements and as a result, we may not be able to make payments on the Exchange Notes. In the event of any such default:

 

   

the holders of such indebtedness could elect to declare all the funds borrowed thereunder to be due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest, if any;

 

   

the lenders under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility could elect to terminate their commitments, cease making further loans and commence foreclosure proceedings against our assets; and

 

   

we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.

If we breach our covenants under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility and seek a waiver, we may not be able to obtain a waiver from the required lenders. If this occurs, we would be in default under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility, the lenders could exercise their rights, as described above, and we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.

Table of Contents

Restrictive covenants in our debt agreements may adversely affect us.

The Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility and other instruments governing our other outstanding debt, including the indentures governing the Notes, the 5.125% Senior Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes, contain certain restrictive covenants that limit our ability to engage in activities that may be in our long-term best interests. For example, these covenants significantly restrict our and certain of our subsidiaries’ ability to:

 

   

borrow money;

 

   

pay dividends or make other distributions;

 

   

repurchase or redeem capital stock or subordinated indebtedness and make investments;

 

   

create liens;

 

   

incur dividend or other payment restrictions affecting non-guarantor subsidiaries;

 

   

transfer or sell assets, including capital stock of subsidiaries, in the case of the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility;

 

   

merge or consolidate with other entities or transfer all or substantially all of our assets;

 

   

engage in certain business activities; and

 

   

enter into transactions with affiliates.

These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. These restrictions could affect our ability to operate our business and may limit our ability to take advantage of potential business opportunities. Events beyond our control can affect our ability to comply with these covenants. Failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of all of our debt. If an event of default occurs, we cannot assure you that we would have sufficient assets to repay all of our obligations. In addition, under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility, when the revolver is drawn or letters of credit are outstanding, we are required to satisfy a consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio covenant as determined in accordance with the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility . You should read the discussions under the heading “Description of Certain Debt Instruments” in this prospectus for further information about the covenants contained in the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility and the indentures governing the 5.125% Senior Notes and the Senior Subordinated Notes.

Variable rate indebtedness subjects us to interest rate risk, which could cause our debt service obligations to increase significantly.

Certain of our borrowings, primarily borrowings under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility, are at variable interest rates and expose us to interest rate risk. If interest rates increase, our debt service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness would increase even though the amount borrowed remained the same, and our net income would decrease. Although we have entered into, and may continue to enter into, interest rate swaps, involving the exchange of floating for fixed rate interest payments, to reduce interest volatility, we cannot assure you we will or will be able to continue to do so nor can we assure you that any interest rate swaps would be beneficial to us.

Under insolvency and fraudulent conveyance laws, a court could void obligations under the Exchange Notes and the guarantees.

Federal and state fraudulent transfer and conveyance statutes may apply to the issuance of the Exchange Notes and the incurrence of the guarantees. Under the federal bankruptcy laws and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer and conveyance laws, a court could void obligations under the Exchange Notes or the guarantees, subordinate those obligations to more junior obligations or require holders of the Exchange Notes to repay any payments made under the Exchange Notes or pursuant to the guarantees if an unpaid creditor or representative of creditors, such as a trustee in bankruptcy or the Company as a debtor-in-possession, claims that the Exchange Notes or guarantees constituted a fraudulent conveyance. For this claim to succeed, the claimant

 

20


Table of Contents

must generally show that (1) we paid the consideration, or any guarantor issued its guarantee, with the intent of hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors or (2) we, or any of our guarantors, received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration in return for paying the consideration or issuing their respective guarantees, and, in the case of (2) above only, one of the following is also true:

 

   

we or any of our guarantors were insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of the incurrence of the indebtedness;

 

   

payment of the consideration left us or any of our guarantors with an unreasonably small amount of capital to carry on the business; or

 

   

we or any of our guarantors intended to, or believed that we or it would, incur debts beyond our or its ability to pay as they mature.

We cannot be certain as to the standards a court would use to determine whether or not we or our guarantors were solvent at the relevant time or, regardless of the standard that a court uses, that the issuance of the Exchange Notes or the guarantees would not be subordinated to our or any of our guarantors’ other debt. In the event of a finding that a fraudulent transfer or conveyance occurred, you may not receive any repayment on the Exchange Notes.

Generally, an obligor will be considered insolvent for these purposes if:

 

   

the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, was greater than the salable value of all of its assets at a fair valuation;

 

   

the present fair salable value of its assets was less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or

 

   

it could not pay its debts as they become due.

We may not be permitted or have the ability to purchase the Exchange Notes upon a change of control as required by the indenture.

Upon the occurrence of specific kinds of change of control events, we will be required to offer to repurchase all the Exchange Notes at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase. We may not be able to repurchase the Exchange Notes upon a change of control because we or our subsidiaries may not have sufficient funds, and we may be required to secure third party financing to do so. In addition, we may not be able to obtain this financing on commercially reasonable terms, or on terms acceptable to us, or at all. A change of control would also result in a default under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility and permit lenders to accelerate the maturity of borrowings under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility and, if such debt is not paid, to enforce security interests in the collateral securing such debt, thereby limiting our ability to raise cash to purchase the Exchange Notes, and reducing the practical benefit of the offer-to-purchase provisions to the holders of the Exchange Notes. Accordingly, we may not be able to satisfy our obligations to purchase your Exchange Notes unless we are able to refinance or obtain waivers under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility, the indenture governing the 5.125% Senior Notes or the Senior Subordinated Notes or other agreements. We may enter into debt agreements containing similar provisions in the future.

The change of control provisions in the indenture governing the Exchange Notes may not protect you in the event we consummate a highly leveraged transaction, reorganization, restructuring, merger or other similar transaction, unless such transaction constitutes a change of control under the indenture. If an event occurs that does not constitute a change of control under the indenture governing the Notes, we will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Exchange Notes and you may be required to continue to hold your Exchange Notes despite the event.

 

21


Table of Contents

Holders of the Exchange Notes may not be able to determine when a change of control giving rise to their right to have the Exchange Notes repurchased has occurred following a sale of “substantially all” of our assets.

The definition of “change of control” in the indenture governing the Notes includes a phrase relating to the sale of “all or substantially all” of our assets. There is no precise established definition of the phrase “substantially all” under applicable law. Accordingly, the ability of a holder of Exchange Notes to require us to repurchase its Exchange Notes as a result of a sale of less than all our assets to another person may be uncertain.

Risks Related to Our Business and Industry

Our business depends on film production and performance.

Our business depends on both the availability of suitable films for exhibition in our theatres and the success of those films in our markets. Poor performance of films, the disruption in the production of films due to events such as a strike by directors, writers or actors, a reduction in financing options for the film distributors, or a reduction in the marketing efforts of the film distributors to promote their films could have an adverse effect on our business by resulting in fewer patrons and reduced revenues.

A deterioration in relationships with film distributors could adversely affect our ability to obtain commercially successful films.

We rely on the film distributors to supply the films shown in our theatres. The film distribution business is highly concentrated, with seven major film distributors accounting for approximately 85% of U.S. box office revenues and 47 of the top 50 grossing films during 2012. Numerous antitrust cases and consent decrees resulting from these antitrust cases impact the distribution of films. The consent decrees bind certain major film distributors to license films to exhibitors on a theatre-by-theatre and film-by-film basis. Consequently, we cannot guarantee a supply of films by entering into long-term arrangements with major distributors. We are therefore required to negotiate licenses for each film and for each theatre. A deterioration in our relationship with any of the seven major film distributors could adversely affect our ability to obtain commercially successful films and to negotiate favorable licensing terms for such films, both of which could adversely affect our business and operating results.

Our results of operations vary from period to period based upon the quantity and quality of the motion pictures that we show in our theatres.

Our results of operations vary from period to period based upon the quantity and quality of the motion pictures that we show in our theatres. The major film distributors generally release the films they anticipate will be most successful during the summer and holiday seasons. Consequently, we typically generate higher revenues during these periods. Due to the dependency on the success of films released from one period to the next, results of operations for one period may not be indicative of the results for the following period or the same period in the following year.

We face intense competition for patrons and films, which may adversely affect our business.

The motion picture industry is highly competitive. We compete against local, regional, national and international exhibitors. We compete for both patrons and licensing of films. The competition for patrons is dependent upon such factors as location, theatre capacity, quality of projection and sound equipment, film showtime availability, customer service quality, and ticket prices. The principal competitive factors with respect to film licensing include the theatre’s location and its demographics, the condition, capacity and revenue potential of each theatre and licensing terms. If we are unable to attract patrons or to license successful films, our business may be adversely affected.

Table of Contents

An increase in the use of alternative or “downstream” film distribution channels and other competing forms of entertainment may reduce movie theatre attendance and limit revenue growth.

We face competition for patrons from a number of alternative film distribution channels, such as DVDs, network and syndicated television, video on-demand, pay-per-view television and the Internet. We also compete with other forms of entertainment, such as concerts, theme parks and sporting events, for our patrons’ leisure time and disposable income. A significant increase in popularity of these alternative film distribution channels or competing forms of entertainment could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

Our results of operations may be impacted by shrinking video release windows.

Over the last decade, the average video release window, which represents the time that elapses from the date of a film’s theatrical release to the date a film is available on DVD, an important downstream market, has decreased from approximately six months to approximately three to four months. If patrons choose to wait for a DVD release rather than attend a theatre for viewing the film, it may adversely impact our business and results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. Film studios have started to offer consumers a premium video on demand option for certain films 60 days following the theatrical release, which has caused the release window to shrink further for certain films. We cannot assure you that these release windows, which are determined by the film studios, will not shrink further or be eliminated altogether, which could have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

General political, social and economic conditions can adversely affect our attendance.

Our results of operations are dependent on general political, social and economic conditions, and the impact of such conditions on our theatre operating costs and on the willingness of consumers to spend money at movie theatres. If consumers’ discretionary income declines as a result of an economic downturn, our operations could be adversely affected. If theatre operating costs, such as utility costs, increase due to political or economic changes, our results of operations could be adversely affected. Political events, such as terrorist attacks, and health-related epidemics, such as flu outbreaks, could cause people to avoid our theatres or other public places where large crowds are in attendance. In addition, a natural disaster, such as a hurricane or an earthquake, could impact our ability to operate certain of our theatres, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

Our foreign operations are subject to adverse regulations, economic instability and currency exchange risk.

As of March 31, 2013, we had 169 theatres with 1,343 screens in 13 countries in Latin America. Brazil represented approximately 13.3% of our consolidated revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012. Governmental regulation of the motion picture industry in foreign markets differs from that in the United States. Changes in regulations affecting prices, quota systems requiring the exhibition of locally-produced films and restrictions on ownership of property may adversely affect our international operations. Our international operations are subject to certain political, economic and other uncertainties not encountered by our domestic operations, including risks of severe economic downturns and high inflation. We also face risks of currency fluctuations, hard currency shortages and controls of foreign currency exchange and transfers abroad, all of which could have an adverse effect on the results of our international operations.

We may not be able to generate additional revenues or continue to realize value from our investment in NCM.

In 2005, we joined Regal Entertainment Group, or Regal, and AMC Entertainment, Inc., or AMC, as founding members of NCM, a provider of digital advertising content and digital non-film event content. As of March 31, 2013, we had an ownership interest in NCM of approximately 16%. We receive a monthly theatre access fee under our Exhibitor Services Agreement with NCM and we are entitled to receive mandatory quarterly

distributions of excess cash from NCM. During the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012 and the three months ended March 31, 2013, we received approximately $5.9 million, $7.1 and $1.8 million in other revenues from NCM, respectively, and $24.2 million, $20.8 million and $6.1 million in cash distributions in excess of our investment in NCM, respectively. Cinema advertising is a small component of the U.S. advertising market and therefore, NCM competes with larger, established and well known media platforms such as broadcast radio and television, cable and satellite television, outdoor advertising and Internet portals. NCM also competes with other cinema advertising companies and with hotels, conference centers, arenas, restaurants and convention facilities for its non-film related events to be shown or held in our auditoriums. In-theatre advertising may not continue to attract advertisers or NCM’s in-theatre advertising format may not continue to be received favorably by theatre patrons. If NCM is unable to continue to generate consistent advertising revenues, its results of operations may be adversely affected and our investment in and distributions and revenues from NCM may be adversely impacted.

We are subject to uncertainties related to digital cinema, including insufficient financing to obtain digital projectors and insufficient supply of digital projectors for our international locations.

We began a roll-out of digital projection equipment in our international theatres during 2009, which has been funded by operating cash flows. There is no local financing available to finance the deployment of digital projectors for our international theatres. Accordingly, the cost of digital projection systems and manufacturer limitations may delay our international deployment.

A failure to adapt to future technological innovations could impact our ability to compete effectively and could adversely affect our results of operations.

While we continue to convert our theatres to digital projection technology, new technological innovations continue to impact our industry. If we are unable to respond to or invest in changes in technology and the technological preferences of our customers, we may not be able to compete with other exhibitors or other entertainment venues, which could adversely affect our results of operations.

We are subject to uncertainties relating to future expansion plans, including our ability to identify suitable acquisition candidates or site locations, and to obtain financing for such activities on favorable terms or at all.

We have greatly expanded our operations over the last decade through targeted worldwide theatre development and acquisitions. We will continue to pursue a strategy of expansion that will involve the development of new theatres and may involve acquisitions of existing theatres and theatre circuits both in the United States and internationally. There is significant competition for new site locations and for existing theatre and theatre circuit acquisition opportunities. As a result of such competition, we may not be able to acquire attractive site locations, existing theatres or theatre circuits on terms we consider acceptable. Acquisitions and expansion opportunities may divert a significant amount of management’s time away from the operation of our business. Growth by acquisition also involves risks relating to difficulties in integrating the operations and personnel of acquired companies and the potential loss of key employees of acquired companies. We cannot assure you that our expansion strategy will result in improvements to our business, financial condition, profitability or cash flows. Further, our expansion programs may require financing above our existing borrowing capacity and operating cash flows. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain such financing or that such financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.

If we do not comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or the ADA, and the safe harbor framework included in the consent order we entered into with the Department of Justice, or the DOJ, we could be subject to further litigation.

Our theatres must comply with Title III of the ADA and analogous state and local laws. Compliance with the ADA requires among other things that public facilities “reasonably accommodate” individuals with disabilities and that new construction or alterations made to “commercial facilities” conform to accessibility guidelines unless “structurally impracticable” for new construction or technically infeasible for alterations. On November 15, 2004, we and the DOJ entered into a consent order, which was filed with the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division. Under the consent order, the DOJ approved a safe harbor framework for us to construct all of our future stadium-style movie theatres. The DOJ has stipulated that all theatres built in compliance with the consent order will comply with the wheelchair seating requirements of the ADA. If we fail to comply with the ADA, remedies could include imposition of injunctive relief, fines, awards for damages to private litigants and additional capital expenditures to remedy non-compliance. Imposition of significant fines, damage awards or capital expenditures to cure non-compliance could adversely affect our business and operating results.

We depend on key personnel for our current and future performance.

Our current and future performance depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of our senior management team and other key personnel. The loss or unavailability to us of any member of our senior management team or a key employee could significantly harm us. We cannot assure you that we would be able to locate or employ qualified replacements for senior management or key employees on acceptable terms.

We are subject to impairment losses due to potential declines in the fair value of our assets.

We review long-lived assets for impairment indicators on a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. We assess many factors when determining whether to impair individual theatre assets, including actual theatre level cash flows, future years budgeted theatre level cash flows, theatre property and equipment carrying values, amortizing intangible asset carrying values, the age of a recently built theatre, competitive theatres in the marketplace, the impact of recent ticket price changes, available lease renewal options and other factors considered relevant in our assessment of impairment of individual theatre assets. Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment on an individual theatre basis, which we believe is the lowest applicable level for which there are identifiable cash flows. When estimated fair value is determined to be lower than the carrying value of the theatre assets, the theatre assets are written down to their estimated fair value. Fair value is determined based on a multiple of cash flows, which was six and a half times for the evaluations performed during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012 and the three months ended March 31, 2013. Significant judgment is involved in estimating cash flows and fair value. Management’s estimates, which fall under Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, or U.S. GAAP, within Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 820-10-35, are based on historical and projected operating performance, recent market transactions and current industry trading multiples. Since we evaluate long-lived assets for impairment at the theatre level, if a theatre is directly and individually impacted by increased competition, adverse changes in market demographics or adverse changes in the development or condition of the areas surrounding the theatre, we may record impairment charges to reflect the decline in estimated fair value of that theatre.

We have a significant amount of goodwill. We evaluate goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be fully recoverable. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment using a two-step approach under which we compute the fair value of a reporting unit and compare it with its carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, a second step would be performed to measure the potential

goodwill impairment. Fair values are determined based on a multiple of cash flows, which was six and a half times for the evaluation performed during 2010 and seven and a half times for the evaluations performed during 2011 and 2012. Significant judgment is involved in estimating cash flows and fair value. Management’s estimates, which fall under Level 3 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35, are based on historical and projected operating performance, recent market transactions and current industry trading multiples. Declines in Cinemark Holdings’ stock price or its market capitalization, declines in our attendance due to increased competition in certain regions and/or countries or economic factors that lead to a decline in attendance in any given region or country could negatively affect our estimated fair values and could result in further impairments of goodwill. As of December 31, 2012, the estimated fair value of goodwill for all of our reporting units exceeded their carrying values by at least 10%.

We also have a significant amount of tradename intangible assets. Tradename intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be fully recoverable. We estimate the fair value of our tradenames by applying an estimated market royalty rate that could be charged for the use of our tradename to forecasted future revenues, with an adjustment for the present value of such royalties. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value, the tradename intangible asset is written down to its estimated fair value. Significant judgment is involved in estimating market royalty rates and long-term revenue forecasts. Management’s estimates, which fall under Level 3 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35, are based on historical and projected revenue performance and industry trends. As of December 31, 2012, the estimated fair value of our tradename intangible assets exceeded their carrying values by at least 10%.

We recorded asset impairment charges of $12.5 million, $7.0 million, $3.0 million and $0.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, and the three months ended March 31, 2013, respectively. We cannot assure you that additional impairment charges will not be required in the future, and such charges may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Notes 8 and 9 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

The impairment or insolvency of other financial institutions could adversely affect us.

We have exposure to different counterparties with regard to our interest rate swap agreements. These transactions expose us to credit risk in the event of a default by one or more of our counterparties to such agreements. We also have exposure to financial institutions used as depositories of our corporate cash balances. If our counterparties or financial institutions become impaired or insolvent, this could have an adverse impact on our results of operations or impair our ability to access our cash.

A credit market crisis may adversely affect our ability to raise capital and may materially impact our operations.

Severe dislocations and liquidity disruptions in the credit markets could materially impact our ability to obtain debt financing on reasonable terms or at all. The inability to access debt financing on reasonable terms could materially impact our ability to make acquisitions or significantly expand our business in the future.

We may be subject to liability under environmental laws and regulations.

We own and operate a large number of theatres and other properties within the United States and internationally, which may be subject to various foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment or human health. Such environmental laws and regulations include those that impose liability for the investigation and remediation of spills or releases of hazardous materials. We may incur such liability, including for any currently or formerly owned, leased or operated property, or for any site, to which we may have disposed, or arranged for the disposal of, hazardous materials or wastes. Certain of these

Table of Contents

laws and regulations may impose liability, including on a joint and several liability basis, which can result in a liable party being obliged to pay for greater than its share, regardless of fault or the legality of the original disposal. Environmental conditions relating to our properties or operations could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations and cash flows. Also, compliance of our theatres and accompanying real estate with new and revised environmental, zoning, land-use or building codes, laws, rules or regulations, could have a material and adverse effect on our business.

Legislative or regulatory initiatives related to global warming/climate change concerns may negatively impact our business.

There has been an increasing focus and continuous debate on global climate change including increased attention from regulatory agencies and legislative bodies. This increased focus may lead to new initiatives directed at regulating an as yet unspecified array of environmental matters, such as the emission of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases. Legislative, regulatory or other efforts in the United States to combat climate change could result in future increases in the cost of raw materials, taxes, transportation and utilities for our vendors and for us which would result in higher operating costs for us. However, we are unable to predict at this time, the potential effects, if any, that any future environmental initiatives may have on our business.

USE OF PROCEEDS

This exchange offer is intended to satisfy certain of our obligations under the registration rights agreement between us and the initial purchasers of the Initial Notes. We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the Exchange Notes. In consideration for issuing the Exchange Notes as contemplated in this prospectus, we will receive in exchange, Initial Notes in like principal amount, the terms of which are the same in all material respects as the form and terms of the Exchange Notes except that the Exchange Notes have been registered under the Securities Act and will not contain terms restricting the transfer thereof or providing for registration rights. The Initial Notes surrendered in exchange for the Exchange Notes will be retired and cancelled and cannot be reissued. Accordingly, issuance of the Exchange Notes will not increase our indebtedness.

THE EXCHANGE OFFER

Purpose and Effect of this Exchange Offer

In connection with the issuance of the Initial Notes, we entered into the registration rights agreement that provides for the exchange offer. The registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part was filed in compliance with the obligations under the registration rights agreement. A copy of the registration rights agreement relating to the Initial Notes is incorporated by reference as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Under the registration rights agreement we agreed that we would, subject to certain exceptions:

 

   

use our commercially reasonable best efforts to file, within 120 days after the issue date of the Initial Notes, a registration statement with the Commission, with respect to a registered offer to exchange such Initial Notes for the Exchange Notes having terms substantially identical in all material respects to the Initial Notes (except that the Exchange Notes will not contain transfer restrictions);

 

   

use our commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act no later than 210 days after the issue date of the Initial Notes;

 

   

use our commercially reasonable best efforts to issue the Exchange Notes in exchange for surrender of the Initial Notes no later than 30 days following the declaration of the effectiveness of the registration statement; and

 

   

if obligated to file a shelf registration statement, use our commercially reasonable best efforts to file the shelf registration statement with the Commission on or prior to 30 days after such filing obligation arises (and in any event within 240 days after the issue date of the Initial Notes) and to cause the shelf registration statement to be declared effective by the Commission within 210 days after such obligation arises.

For each Initial Note tendered to us pursuant to the exchange offer, we will issue to the holder of such Initial Note an Exchange Note having a principal amount equal to that of the surrendered Initial Note.

Under existing Commission interpretations, the Exchange Notes will be freely transferable by holders other than our affiliates after the exchange offer without further registration under the Securities Act if the holder of the Exchange Notes represents to us in the exchange offer that it is acquiring the Exchange Notes in the ordinary course of its business, that it has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Notes and that it is not an affiliate of ours, as such terms are interpreted by the Commission; provided, however, that broker-dealers receiving the Exchange Notes in the exchange offer will have a prospectus delivery requirement with respect to resales of such Exchange Notes. The Commission has taken the position that such participating broker-dealers may fulfill their prospectus delivery requirements with respect to the Exchange Notes (other than a resale of an unsold allotment from the original sale of the Initial Notes) with this prospectus contained in the registration statement. Each broker-dealer that receives the Exchange Notes for its own account in exchange for the Initial Notes, where such Initial Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. See “Plan of Distribution.”

A holder of Initial Notes (other than certain specified holders) who wishes to exchange the Initial Notes for the Exchange Notes in the exchange offer will be required to represent that any Exchange Notes to be received by it will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business and that at the time of the commencement of the exchange offer it has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Exchange Notes and that it is not an “affiliate” of ours, as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, or if it is an affiliate, that it will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable. In the event that:

 

  (1) we are not required to file an exchange offer registration statement or consummate the exchange offer because the exchange offer is not permitted by applicable law or Commission policy; or

 

29


Table of Contents
  (2) any holder of the Initial Notes or Exchange Notes notifies us on or prior to the 20th business day following the consummation of the exchange offer that;

 

  (a) such holder is prohibited by a change in applicable law or Commission policy from participating in the exchange offer,

 

  (b) such holder may not resell the Exchange Notes to be acquired by it in the exchange offer to the public without delivering a prospectus and that the prospectus contained in the exchange offer registration statement is not appropriate or available for such resales by such holder, or

 

  (c) such holder is a broker-dealer and owns Initial Notes directly from us, then, we will, subject to certain exceptions,

 

  (1) use our reasonable best efforts to file a shelf registration statement with the Commission covering resales of the Initial Notes or Exchange Notes, as the case may be, on or prior to the date (which we call the shelf filing date) which is the 30th day after the date on which the obligation to file the shelf registration statement arises (and in any event on or prior to the date which is the 240th day after the date we issued the Initial Notes);

 

  (2) use our reasonable best efforts to cause the shelf registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act on or prior to the 210th day after the obligation to file the shelf registration statement arises; and

 

  (3) use our best efforts to keep the shelf registration statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended until one year from the date we issued the Initial Notes registered thereunder.

We will, in the event a shelf registration statement is filed, among other things, provide to each holder for whom such shelf registration statement was filed copies of the prospectus which is a part of the shelf registration statement, notify each such holder when the shelf registration statement has become effective and take certain other actions as are required to permit unrestricted resales of the Initial Notes or the Exchange Notes, as the case may be. A holder selling such Initial Notes or Exchange Notes pursuant to the shelf registration statement generally would be required to be named as a selling security holder in the related prospectus and to deliver a prospectus to purchasers, will be subject to certain of the civil liability provisions under the Securities Act in connection with such sales and will be bound by the provisions of the registration rights agreement that are applicable to such holder (including certain indemnification obligations).

We will pay additional cash interest on the applicable Initial Notes and Exchange Notes, subject to certain exceptions:

 

  (1) if we fail to file the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part with the Commission on or prior to the 90th day after the issue date of the Initial Notes;

 

  (2) if the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the 210th day after the issue date of the Initial Notes;

 

  (3) if the exchange offer is not consummated on or before the 30th business day after the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is declared effective;

 

  (4) if obligated to file the shelf registration statement, we fail to file the shelf registration statement with the Commission on or prior to the shelf filing date;

 

  (5) if obligated to file a shelf registration statement, the shelf registration statement is not declared effective on or prior to the 210th day after the shelf filing date; or

 

  (6)

after the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part or the shelf registration statement, as the case may be, is declared effective, such registration statement thereafter ceases to be effective or

  usable for its intended purpose without being succeeded within two business days by a post-effective amendment to such registration statement that cures such failure and that is immediately declared effective.

The rate of any such additional interest will be 0.50% per annum. The amount of additional interest will increase by an additional 0.50% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period relating to such registration default until cured up to a maximum of 1.0% per annum. We will pay any such additional interest on regular interest payment dates. Such additional interest will be in addition to any other interest payable from time to time with respect to the Initial Notes and the Exchange Notes. The accrual of additional interest will cease, upon the earlier of, the third anniversary of the date we issued the Initial Notes or the cure of all registration defaults.

All references in the indenture governing the Notes, in any context, to any interest or other amount payable on or with respect to the Initial Notes or the Exchange Notes shall be deemed to include any additional interest pursuant to the registration rights agreement relating to the Initial Notes.

If we effect the exchange offer, we will be entitled to close the exchange offer 30 days after the commencement thereof provided that we have accepted all Initial Notes theretofore validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the exchange offer. Initial Notes will be validly tendered if tendered in accordance with the terms of the exchange offer as detailed under “—Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes.”

Background of the Exchange Offer

We issued $530,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Initial Notes on May 24, 2013. The Initial Notes were offered and sold in the United States only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and to certain non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act based on the representations and agreements of the qualified institutional buyers and certain non-U.S. persons made in connection with their purchase of the Initial Notes. The terms of the Exchange Notes and the Initial Notes will be identical in all material respects, except for transfer restrictions and registration rights that will not apply to the Exchange Notes. Cash interest will be payable on the Exchange Notes on June 1 and December 1 of each year, beginning on December 1, 2013. The Exchange Notes will mature on June 1, 2023.

In order to exchange your Initial Notes for the Exchange Notes containing no transfer restrictions in the exchange offer, you will be required to make the following representations:

 

   

the Exchange Notes will be acquired in the ordinary course of your business;

 

   

you have no arrangements with any person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Notes; and

 

   

you are not our “affiliate” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, or if you are an affiliate of ours, you will comply with the applicable registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the related letter of transmittal, we will accept for exchange any Initial Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the exchange offer, and the exchange agent will deliver the Exchange Notes promptly after the expiration date of the exchange offer. Initial Notes will be validly tendered and not validly withdrawn if they are tendered in accordance with the terms of the exchange offer as detailed under “—Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes” and not withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the exchange offer as detailed under “—Withdrawal of Tenders.” We expressly reserve the right to delay acceptance, subject to Rule 14e-l(c) under the Exchange Act, of any of the tendered Initial Notes or terminate the exchange offer and not accept for exchange any tendered Initial Notes not already accepted if any condition set forth under “—Conditions to the Exchange Offer” have not been satisfied or waived by us or do not comply, in whole or in part, with the securities laws or changes in any

 

31


Table of Contents

applicable law. We reserve the right to delay acceptance of the tendered Initial Notes if any condition set forth under “—Conditions to the Exchange Offer” is not satisfied or if the exchange offer is extended.

If you tender your Initial Notes, you will not be required to pay brokerage commissions or fees or, subject to the instructions in the letter of transmittal, transfer taxes with respect to the exchange of the Initial Notes.

Expiration Date; Extensions; Termination; Amendments

The exchange offer will expire at midnight, New York City time, on             , 2013, unless we extend it. We expressly reserve the right to extend the exchange offer on a daily basis or for such period or periods as we may determine in our sole discretion from time to time by giving oral, confirmed in writing, or written notice to the exchange agent and by making a public announcement by press release to Businesswire prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first business day following the scheduled expiration date. During any extension of the exchange offer, all Initial Notes previously tendered, not validly withdrawn and not accepted for exchange will remain subject to the exchange offer and may be accepted for exchange by us.

To the extent we are legally permitted to do so, we expressly reserve the absolute right, in our sole discretion, but are not required, to:

 

   

waive any condition of the exchange offer; and

 

   

amend any terms of the exchange offer.

Any waiver of any condition of or amendment to the exchange offer will apply to all Initial Notes tendered, regardless of when or in what order the Initial Notes were tendered. If we make a material change in the terms of the exchange offer or if we waive a material condition of the exchange offer, we will disseminate additional exchange offer materials, and we will extend, if necessary, the expiration date of the exchange offer such that at least five business days remain in the exchange offer following notice of the material change.

We expressly reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to terminate the exchange offer if any of the conditions set forth under “—Conditions of the Exchange Offer” exist. Any such termination will be followed promptly by a public announcement. In the event we terminate the exchange offer, we will give immediate notice to the exchange agent, and all Initial Notes previously tendered and not accepted for exchange will be returned promptly to the tendering holders.

In the event that the exchange offer is withdrawn or otherwise not completed, the Exchange Notes will not be given to holders of Initial Notes who have validly tendered their Initial Notes. We will return any Initial Notes that have been tendered for exchange but that are not exchanged to their holder without cost to the holder, or, in the case of the Initial Notes tendered by book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account at a book-entry transfer facility under the procedure set forth under “—Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes—Book-Entry Transfer,” such Initial Notes will be credited to the account maintained at such book-entry transfer facility from which such Initial Notes were delivered, unless otherwise requested by such holder under “—Special Delivery Instructions” in the letter of transmittal, promptly following the exchange date or the termination of the exchange offer.

Resale of the Exchange Notes

Based on interpretations of the Commission set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties, we believe that the Exchange Notes issued under the exchange offer in exchange for the Initial Notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by you without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, if:

 

   

you are not an “affiliate” of ours within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act;

 

   

you are acquiring the Exchange Notes in the ordinary course of business; and

 

   

you do not intend to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Notes.

 

32


Table of Contents

If you tender Initial Notes in the exchange offer with the intention of participating in any manner in a distribution of the Exchange Notes:

 

   

you cannot rely on those interpretations of the Commission; and

 

   

you must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction, and the secondary resale transaction must be covered.

Unless an exemption from registration is otherwise available, any security holder intending to distribute the Exchange Notes should be covered by an effective registration statement under the Securities Act containing the selling security holder’s information required by Item 507 of Regulation S-K. This prospectus may be used for an offer to resell, a resale or other re-transfer of the Exchange Notes only as specifically set forth in the section captioned “Plan of Distribution.” Only broker-dealers that acquired the Exchange Notes as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities may participate in the exchange offer. Each broker-dealer that receives the Exchange Notes for its own account in exchange for Initial Notes, where such Initial Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the Exchange Notes. Please read the section captioned “Plan of Distribution” for more details regarding the transfer of the Exchange Notes.

Acceptance of Initial Notes for Exchange

We will accept for exchange Initial Notes validly tendered pursuant to the exchange offer, or defectively tendered, if such defect has been waived by us, after the later of:

 

   

the expiration date of the exchange offer; and

 

   

the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified below under “—Conditions of the Exchange Offer.”

Except as specified above, we will not accept Initial Notes for exchange subsequent to the expiration date of the exchange offer. Tenders of Initial Notes will be accepted only in aggregate principal amounts equal to $1,000 or integral multiples thereof.

We expressly reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to:

 

   

delay acceptance for exchange of Initial Notes tendered under the exchange offer, subject to Rule 14e-l under the Exchange Act, which requires that an offer or pay the consideration offered or return the securities deposited by or on behalf of the holders promptly after the termination or withdrawal of a tender offer; or

 

   

terminate the exchange offer and not accept for exchange any Initial Notes, if any of the conditions set forth below under “—Conditions of the Exchange Offer” have not been satisfied or waived by us or in order to comply in whole or in part with the securities laws or changes in any applicable law.

In all cases, the Exchange Notes will be issued only after receipt by the exchange agent prior to the expiration of the exchange offer of certificates representing Initial Notes, or confirmation of book-entry transfer, a letter of transmittal, properly completed and duly executed or a manually signed facsimile thereof, and any other required documents in accordance with instructions set forth under “—Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes” and the letter of transmittal provided with this prospectus. For purposes of the exchange offer, we will be deemed to have accepted for exchange validly tendered Initial Notes, or defectively tendered Initial Notes with respect to which we have waived such defect, if, as and when we give oral, confirmed in writing, or written notice to the exchange agent. Promptly after the expiration date, we will deposit the Exchange Notes with the exchange agent, who will act as agent for the tendering holders for the purpose of receiving the Exchange Notes and transmitting them to the holders. The exchange agent will deliver the Exchange Notes to holders of Initial Notes accepted for exchange after the exchange agent receives the Exchange Notes.

 

33


Table of Contents

If we delay acceptance for exchange of validly tendered Initial Notes or we are unable to accept for exchange validly tendered Initial Notes, then the exchange agent may, nevertheless, on its behalf, retain tendered Initial Notes, without prejudice to our rights described in this prospectus under the captions “—Expiration Date; Extensions; Termination; Amendments,” “—Conditions of the Exchange Offer” and “—Withdrawal of Tenders,” subject to Rule 14e-l under the Exchange Act, which requires that an offeror pay the consideration offered or return the securities deposited by or on behalf of the holders thereof promptly after the termination or withdrawal of a tender offer.

If any tendered Initial Notes are not accepted for exchange, or if certificates are submitted evidencing more Initial Notes than those that are tendered, certificates evidencing Initial Notes that are not exchanged will be returned, without expense, to the tendering holder, or, in the case of the Initial Notes tendered by book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account at a book-entry transfer facility under the procedure set forth under “—Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes—Book-Entry Transfer,” such Initial Notes will be credited to the account maintained at such book-entry transfer facility from which such Initial Notes were delivered, unless otherwise requested by such holder under “—Special Delivery Instructions” in the letter of transmittal, promptly following the exchange date or the termination of the exchange offer.

Tendering holders of Initial Notes exchanged in the exchange offer will not be obligated to pay brokerage commissions or transfer taxes with respect to the exchange of their Initial Notes other than as described under the caption “—Transfer Taxes” or as set forth in the letter of transmittal. We will pay all other charges and expenses in connection with the exchange offer.

Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes

Any beneficial owner whose Initial Notes are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee or held through a book-entry transfer facility and who wishes to tender Initial Notes should contact such registered holder promptly and instruct such registered holder to tender Initial Notes on such beneficial owner’s behalf.

Tender of Initial Notes Held Through The Depository Trust Company

The exchange agent and The Depository Trust Company, or DTC, have confirmed that the exchange offer is eligible for the DTC automated tender offer program. Accordingly, DTC participants may electronically transmit their acceptance of the exchange offer by causing DTC to transfer Initial Notes to the exchange agent in accordance with DTC’s automated tender offer program procedures for transfer. DTC will then send an agent’s message to the exchange agent.

The term “agent’s message” means a message transmitted by DTC and received by the exchange agent that forms part of the book-entry confirmation. The agent’s message states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from the participant in DTC tendering Initial Notes that are the subject of that book-entry confirmation, that the participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal, and that we may enforce such agreement against such participant.

Tender of Initial Notes Held in Physical Form

For a holder to validly tender Initial Notes held in physical form:

 

   

the exchange agent must receive at its address set forth in this prospectus a properly completed and validly executed letter of transmittal, or a manually signed facsimile thereof, together with any signature guarantees and any other documents required by the instructions to the letter of transmittal; and

 

   

the exchange agent must receive certificates for tendered Initial Notes at such address, or such Initial Notes must be transferred pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer described above. A

 

34

confirmation of such book-entry transfer must be received by the exchange agent prior to the expiration date of the exchange offer. There is no procedure for guaranteed late delivery of Initial Notes.

Letters of transmittal and Initial Notes should be sent only to the exchange agent, and not to us or to any book-entry transfer facility.

The method of delivery of Initial Notes, letters of transmittal and all other required documents to the exchange agent is at the election and risk of the holder tendering Initial Notes. Delivery of such documents will be deemed made only when actually received by the exchange agent. If such delivery is by mail, we suggest that the holder use properly insured, registered mail with return receipt requested, and that the mailing be made sufficiently in advance of the expiration date of the exchange offer to permit delivery to the exchange agent prior to such date. No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders of Initial Notes will be accepted.

Signature Guarantees

A signature on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal must be guaranteed by an eligible institution. Eligible institutions include banks, brokers, dealers, municipal securities dealers, municipal securities brokers, government securities dealers, government securities brokers, credit unions, national securities exchanges, registered securities associations, clearing agencies and savings associations. The signature need not be guaranteed by an eligible institution if the Initial Notes are tendered:

 

   

by a registered holder who has not completed the box entitled “Special Issuance Instructions” or “Special Delivery Instructions” on the letter of transmittal; or

 

   

for the account of an eligible institution.

If the letter of transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder of any Initial Notes, the Initial Notes must be endorsed or accompanied by a properly completed bond power. The bond power must be signed by the registered holder as the registered holder’s name appears on the Initial Notes and an eligible institution must guarantee the signature on the bond power.

If the letter of transmittal or any Initial Notes or bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, these persons should so indicate when signing. Unless we waive this requirement, they should also submit evidence satisfactory to us of their authority to deliver the letter of transmittal.

Book-Entry Transfer

The exchange agent will seek to establish a new account or utilize an existing account with respect to the Initial Notes at DTC promptly after the date of this prospectus. Any financial institution that is a participant in the book-entry transfer facility system and whose name appears on a security position listing it as the owner of the Initial Notes may make book-entry delivery of Initial Notes by causing the book-entry transfer facility to transfer such Initial Notes into the exchange agent’s account. However, although delivery of Initial Notes may be effected through book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account at a book-entry transfer facility, a letter of transmittal, properly completed and duly executed or a manually signed facsimile thereof, in accordance with instructions set forth under “—Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes” and the letter of transmittal provided with this prospectus, must be received by the exchange agent at its address set forth in this prospectus on or prior to the expiration date of the exchange offer. The confirmation of a book-entry transfer of Initial Notes into the exchange agent’s account at a book-entry transfer facility is referred to in this prospectus as a “book-entry confirmation.” Delivery of documents to the book-entry transfer facility in accordance with that book-entry transfer facility’s procedures does not constitute delivery to the exchange agent.

Other Matters

Exchange Notes will be issued in exchange for Initial Notes accepted for exchange only after receipt by the exchange agent prior to expiration of the exchange offer of:

 

   

certificates for, or a timely book-entry confirmation with respect to, your Initial Notes;

 

   

a letter of transmittal properly completed and duly executed or facsimile thereof with any required signature guarantees, or, in the case of a book-entry transfer, an agent’s message; and

 

   

any other documents required by the letter of transmittal; all the above in accordance with instructions set forth under “—Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes,” and the letter of transmittal provided with this prospectus.

We will decide all questions as to the form of all documents and the validity, including time of receipt, and acceptance of all tenders of Initial Notes, the determination of which shall be final and binding. Alternative, conditional or contingent tenders of Initial Notes will not be considered valid. We reserve the absolute right to reject any or all tenders of Initial Notes that are not in proper form or the acceptance of which, in our opinion, would be unlawful. We also reserve the right to waive any defects, irregularities or conditions of tender as to any particular Initial Notes.

Unless waived by us, any defect or irregularity in connection with tenders of Initial Notes must be cured within the time that we determine. Tenders of Initial Notes will not be deemed to have been made until all defects and irregularities have been waived by us or cured. Neither us, the exchange agent, nor any other person will be under any duty to give notice of any defects or irregularities in tenders of Initial Notes, or will incur any liability to holders for failure to give any such notice.

By signing or agreeing to be bound by the letter of transmittal, you will represent to us that, among other things:

 

   

any Exchange Notes that you receive will be acquired in the ordinary course of your business;

 

   

you have no arrangement or understanding with any person or entity to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Notes;

 

   

if you are not a broker-dealer, that you are not engaged in and do not intend to engage in the distribution of the Exchange Notes;

 

   

if you are a broker-dealer that will receive the Exchange Notes for your own account in exchange for Initial Notes that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, that you will deliver a prospectus, as required by law, in connection with any resale of the Exchange Notes; and

 

   

you are not an “affiliate” of ours, as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, or, if you are an affiliate, you will comply with any applicable registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

Withdrawal of Tenders

Except as otherwise provided in this prospectus, you may withdraw your tender of Initial Notes at any time prior to the expiration date of the exchange offer.

For a withdrawal to be effective:

 

   

the exchange agent must receive a written notice of withdrawal at the address set forth below under “—Exchange Agent”; or

 

   

you must comply with the appropriate procedures of DTC’s automated tender offer program system.

 

36


Table of Contents

Any notice of withdrawal must:

 

   

specify the name of the person who tendered the Initial Notes to be withdrawn; and

 

   

identify the Initial Notes to be withdrawn, including the principal amount of the Initial Notes to be withdrawn.

If certificates for the Initial Notes have been delivered or otherwise identified to the exchange agent, then, prior to the release of those certificates, the withdrawing holder must also submit:

 

   

the serial numbers of the particular certificates to be withdrawn; and

 

   

a signed notice of withdrawal with signatures guaranteed by an eligible institution, unless the withdrawing holder is an eligible institution.

If the Initial Notes have been tendered pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer described above, any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at DTC to be credited with the withdrawn Initial Notes and otherwise comply with the procedures of DTC.

We will determine all questions as to the validity, form and eligibility, including time of receipt, of notices of withdrawal, and our determination shall be final and binding on all parties. We will deem any Initial Notes so withdrawn not to have been validly tendered for exchange for purposes of the exchange offer.

We will return any Initial Notes that have been tendered for exchange but that are not exchanged to their holder without cost to the holder. In the case of Initial Notes tendered by book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account at DTC, according to the procedures described above, those Initial Notes will be credited to an account maintained with DTC for the Initial Notes. This return or crediting will take place promptly after withdrawal, rejection of tender or termination of the exchange offer. You may re-tender properly withdrawn Initial Notes by following one of the procedures described under “—Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes” at any time on or prior to the expiration date of the exchange offer.

Conditions to the Exchange Offer

Despite any other term of the exchange offer, we will not be required to accept for exchange any Initial Notes and we may terminate or amend the exchange offer as provided in this prospectus before the expiration of the exchange offer if in our reasonable judgment:

 

   

the Exchange Notes to be received will not be tradable by the holder without restriction under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and without material restrictions under the blue sky or securities laws of substantially all of the states of the United States;

 

   

the exchange offer, or the making of any exchange by a holder of Initial Notes, would violate applicable law or any applicable interpretation of the staff of the Commission;

 

   

any action or proceeding has been instituted or threatened in any court or by or before any governmental agency with respect to the exchange offer that would reasonably be expected to impair our ability to proceed with the exchange offer; or

 

   

all governmental approvals necessary for the consummation of the exchange offer have not been obtained. Other than the federal securities laws, there are no federal or state regulatory requirements that we must comply with and there are no approvals that we must obtain in connection with the exchange offer.

We will not be obligated to accept for exchange the Initial Notes of any holder that has not made to us:

 

   

the representations described under the captions “—Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes” and “Plan of Distribution;” and

 

37


Table of Contents
   

any other representations that may be reasonably necessary under applicable Commission rules, regulations or interpretations to make available to us an appropriate form for registration of the Exchange Notes under the Securities Act.

We expressly reserve the right, at any time or at various times, to extend the period of time during which the exchange offer is open. Consequently, we may delay acceptance of any Initial Notes, subject to Rule 14e-l(c) under the Exchange Act, by giving oral or written notice of an extension to their holders. During an extension, all Initial Notes previously tendered will remain subject to the exchange offer, and we may accept them for exchange. We will return any Initial Notes that we do not accept for exchange without expense to their tendering holder promptly after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer.

We expressly reserve the right to amend or terminate the exchange offer and to reject for exchange any Initial Notes not previously accepted for exchange, upon the occurrence of any of the conditions of the exchange offer specified above. By public announcement we will give oral or written notice of any extension, amendment, non-acceptance or termination to the holders of the Initial Notes in accordance with the requirements of Rule 14e-l(d) of the Exchange Act. If we amend the exchange offer in a manner that we consider material, we will disclose the amendment in the manner required by applicable law. In the event of a material change in the exchange offer, including the waiver of a material condition, we will extend, if necessary, the expiration date of the exchange offer such that at least five business days remain in the exchange offer following notice of the material change.

We may assert these conditions regardless of the circumstances that may give rise to them or waive them in whole or in part at any time or at various times in our sole discretion. If we fail at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights, this failure will not constitute a waiver of that right. Each of these rights will be deemed an ongoing right that we may assert at any time or at various times.

We will not accept for exchange any Initial Notes tendered, and will not issue the Exchange Notes in exchange for any Initial Notes, if at any time a stop order is threatened or in effect with respect to the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part or the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended.

Transfer Taxes

We will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the transfer and exchange of Initial Notes pursuant to the exchange offer. The tendering holder, however, will be required to pay any transfer taxes, whether imposed on the record holder or any other person, if:

 

   

delivery of the Exchange Notes, or certificates for Initial Notes for principal amounts not exchanged, are to be made to any person other than the record holder of the Initial Notes tendered;

 

   

tendered certificates for Initial Notes are recorded in the name of any person other than the person signing any letter of transmittal; or

 

   

a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the transfer and exchange of Initial Notes under the exchange offer.

Consequences of Failure to Exchange

If you do not exchange your Initial Notes for the Exchange Notes in the exchange offer, you will remain subject to restrictions on transfer of the Initial Notes:

 

   

as set forth in the legend printed on the Initial Notes as a consequence of the issuance of the Initial Notes pursuant to the exemptions from, or in transactions not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws; and

 

38


Table of Contents
   

as otherwise set forth in the prospectus distributed in connection with the private offering of each of the Initial Notes.

In general, you may not offer or sell the Initial Notes unless they are registered under the Securities Act or if the offer or sale is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Except as required by the registration rights agreement relating to the Initial Notes, we do not intend to register resales of the Initial Notes under the Securities Act. Based on interpretations of the Commission, you may offer for resale, resell or otherwise transfer the Exchange Notes issued in the exchange offer without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that:

 

   

you are not an “affiliate” within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act;

 

   

you acquired the Exchange Notes in the ordinary course of your business; and

 

   

you have no arrangement or understanding with respect to the distribution of the Exchange Notes to be acquired in the exchange offer.

If you tender Initial Notes in the exchange offer for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the Exchange Notes:

 

   

you cannot rely on the applicable interpretations of the Commission; and

 

   

you must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction and that such a secondary resale transaction must be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling security holder information required by Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.

Other

Participation in the exchange offer is voluntary, and you should carefully consider whether to exchange the Initial Notes for the Exchange Notes. We urge you to consult your financial and tax advisors in making your own decision on what action to take.

We may in the future seek to acquire untendered Initial Notes in open market or privately negotiated transactions, through subsequent exchange offers or otherwise, on terms that may differ from the terms of this exchange offer. We have no present plans to acquire any Initial Notes that are not tendered in the exchange offer or to file a registration statement to permit resales of any untendered Initial Notes.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with “Selected Historical Consolidated Financial and Operating Data “ and the financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” for a discussion of the uncertainties and risk associated with these statements.

Overview

We are a leader in the motion picture exhibition industry, with theatres in the U.S., Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Guatemala. As of March 31, 2013, we managed our business under two reportable operating segments—U.S. markets and international markets. See Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Revenues and Expenses

We generate revenues primarily from box office receipts and concession sales with additional revenues from screen advertising sales and other revenue streams, such as vendor marketing promotions, meeting rentals and electronic video games located in some of our theatres. Our contracts with NCM have assisted us in expanding our offerings to domestic advertisers and broadening ancillary revenue sources such as digital video monitor advertising, third party branding, and the use of our domestic theatres for alternative entertainment, such as live and pre-recorded sports programs, concert events, the opera and other special presentations. Our revenues are affected by changes in attendance and concession revenues per patron. Attendance is primarily affected by the quality and quantity of films released by motion picture studios. Films leading the box office during the year ended December 31, 2012 included The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises, The Hunger Games, Skyfall, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Dr. Suess’ The Lorax, Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted, Men in Black 3, Taken 2, Snow White and the Huntsman, Safe House, The Vow, Brave, Prometheus, The Amazing Spider-Man, Ice Age: Continental Drift and The Bourne Legacy, among other films. Films leading the box office during the three months ended March 31, 2013 included Oz: The Great and Powerful, Identity Thief, Silver Linings Playbook, Zero Dark Thirty, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, The Croods and Django Unchained, among other films. Films currently scheduled for release during the remainder of 2013 include sequels such as The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, Iron Man 3, The Hangover 3, Monsters University, Despicable Me 2, Star Trek Into Darkness and Fast & Furious 6 and highly anticipated original titles such as Man of Steel, Oblivion, Pacific Rim, Frozen, Lone Ranger and World War Z, among other films.

Film rental costs are variable in nature and fluctuate with our admissions revenues. Film rental costs as a percentage of revenues are generally higher for periods in which more blockbuster films are released. Film rental costs can also vary based on the length of a film’s run. Film rental rates are generally negotiated on a film-by-film and theatre-by-theatre basis. Advertising costs, which are expensed as incurred, are primarily fixed at the theatre level as daily movie directories placed in newspapers represent the largest component of advertising costs. The monthly cost of these advertisements is based on, among other things, the size of the directory and the frequency and size of the newspaper’s circulation.

Concession supplies expense is variable in nature and fluctuates with our concession revenues. We purchase concession supplies to replace units sold. We negotiate prices for concession supplies directly with concession vendors and manufacturers to obtain volume rates.

Although salaries and wages include a fixed cost component (i.e. the minimum staffing costs to operate a theatre facility during non-peak periods), salaries and wages move in relation to revenues as theatre staffing is adjusted to respond to changes in attendance.

Table of Contents

Facility lease expense is primarily a fixed cost at the theatre level as most of our facility leases require a fixed monthly minimum rent payment. Certain of our leases are subject to percentage rent only while others are subject to percentage rent in addition to their fixed monthly rent if a target annual revenue level is achieved. Facility lease expense as a percentage of revenues is also affected by the number of theatres under operating leases, the number of theatres under capital leases and the number of fee-owned theatres.

Utilities and other costs include certain costs that have both fixed and variable components such as utilities, property taxes, janitorial costs, repairs and maintenance and security services.

Critical Accounting Policies

We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. As such, we are required to make certain estimates and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. The significant accounting policies, which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported consolidated financial results, include the following:

Revenue and Expense Recognition

Revenues are recognized when admissions and concession sales are received at the box office. Other revenues primarily consist of screen advertising. Screen advertising revenues are recognized over the period that the related advertising is delivered on-screen or in-theatre. We record proceeds from the sale of gift cards and other advanced sale-type certificates in current liabilities and recognize admissions or concession revenue when a holder redeems the card or certificate. We recognize unredeemed gift cards and other advanced sale-type certificates as revenue only after such a period of time indicates, based on historical experience, the likelihood of redemption is remote, and based on applicable laws and regulations. In evaluating the likelihood of redemption, we consider the period outstanding, the level and frequency of activity, and the period of inactivity.

Film rental costs are accrued based on the applicable box office receipts and either mutually agreed upon firm terms or a sliding scale formula, which are generally established prior to the opening of the film, or estimates of the final mutually agreed upon settlement, which occurs at the conclusion of the film run, subject to the film licensing arrangement. Under a firm terms formula, we pay the distributor a mutually agreed upon specified percentage of box office receipts, which reflects either a mutually agreed upon aggregate rate for the life of the film or rates that decline over the term of the run. Under a sliding scale formula, we pay a percentage of box office revenues using a pre-determined matrix that is based upon box office performance of the film. The settlement process allows for negotiation of film rental fees upon the conclusion of the film run based upon how the film performs. Estimates are based on the expected success of a film. The success of a film can typically be determined a few weeks after a film is released when initial box office performance of the film is known. Accordingly, final settlements typically approximate estimates since box office receipts are known at the time the estimate is made and the expected success of a film can typically be estimated early in the film’s run. If actual settlements are different than those estimates, film rental costs are adjusted at that time. Our advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Facility lease expense is primarily a fixed cost at the theatre level as most of our facility leases require a fixed monthly minimum rent payment. Certain of our leases are subject to monthly percentage rent only, which is accrued each month based on actual revenues. Certain of our other theatres require payment of percentage rent in addition to fixed monthly rent if an annual target revenue level is achieved. Percentage rent expense is estimated and recorded for these theatres on a monthly basis if the theatre’s historical performance or forecasted performance indicates that the annual target revenue level will be reached. Once annual revenues are known, which is generally at the end of the year, the percentage rent expense is adjusted at that time. We record the fixed minimum rent payments on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Theatre properties and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. In estimating the useful lives of our theatre properties and equipment, we have relied upon our experience with such assets and our historical replacement period. We periodically evaluate these estimates and assumptions and adjust them as necessary. Adjustments to the expected lives of assets are accounted for on a prospective basis through depreciation expense. Leasehold improvements for which we pay and to which we have title are amortized over the lesser of useful life or the lease term.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

We review long-lived assets for impairment indicators on a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. We assess many factors including the following to determine whether to impair individual theatre assets:

 

   

actual theatre level cash flows;

 

   

future years budgeted theatre level cash flows;

 

   

theatre property and equipment carrying values;

 

   

amortizing intangible asset carrying values;

 

   

the age of a recently built theatre;

 

   

competitive theatres in the marketplace;

 

   

the impact of recent ticket price changes;

 

   

available lease renewal options; and

 

   

other factors considered relevant in our assessment of impairment of individual theatre assets.

Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment on an individual theatre basis, which we believe is the lowest applicable level for which there are identifiable cash flows. The impairment evaluation is based on the estimated undiscounted cash flows from continuing use through the remainder of the theatre’s useful life. The remainder of the theatre’s useful life correlates with the available remaining lease period, which includes the probability of renewal periods for leased properties and a period of approximately twenty years for fee owned properties. If the estimated undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover a long-lived asset’s carrying value, we then compare the carrying value of the asset group (theatre) with its estimated fair value. When estimated fair value is determined to be lower than the carrying value of the asset group (theatre), the asset group (theatre) is written down to its estimated fair value. Significant judgment is involved in estimating cash flows and fair value. Management’s estimates, which fall under Level 3 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35, are based on historical and projected operating performance, recent market transactions and current industry trading multiples. Fair value is determined based on a multiple of cash flows, which was six and a half times for the evaluations performed during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012 and the three months ended March 31, 2013. The long-lived asset impairment charges related to theatre properties recorded during each of the periods presented are specific to theatres that were directly and individually impacted by increased competition, adverse changes in market demographics, or adverse changes in the development or the conditions of the areas surrounding the theatre.

Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible Assets

We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of the goodwill may not be fully recoverable. We evaluate goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level and have allocated goodwill to the reporting unit based on an estimate of its relative fair value. Management considers the reporting unit to be each of our sixteen regions in the U.S. and each of our eight international countries (Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Guatemala

are considered one reporting unit). The evaluation is a two-step approach requiring us to compute the fair value of a reporting unit and compare it with its carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a second step is performed to measure the potential goodwill impairment. Significant judgment is involved in estimating cash flows and fair value. Management’s estimates, which fall under Level 3 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35, are based on historical and projected operating performance, recent market transactions and current industry trading multiples. Fair value is determined based on a multiple of cash flows, which was six and a half times for the evaluation performed during the year ended December 31, 2010 and seven and a half times for the evaluations performed during the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012. As of December 31, 2012, the estimated fair value of goodwill for all of our reporting units exceeded their carrying value by at least 10%.

Tradename intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be fully recoverable. We estimate the fair value of our tradenames by applying an estimated market royalty rate that could be charged for the use of our tradename to forecasted future revenues, with an adjustment for the present value of such royalties. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value, the tradename intangible asset is written down to its estimated fair value. Significant judgment is involved in estimating market royalty rates and long-term revenue forecasts. Management’s estimates, which fall under Level 3 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35, are based on historical and projected revenue performance and industry trends. As of December 31, 2012, the estimated fair value of our tradename intangible assets exceeded their carrying values by at least 10%.

Income Taxes

We participate in the consolidated tax return of Cinemark Holdings. However, our provision for income taxes is computed on a stand-alone basis. We use an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided when tax laws and financial accounting standards differ with respect to the amount of income for a year and the basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amount of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized. Income taxes are provided on unremitted earnings from foreign subsidiaries unless such earnings are expected to be indefinitely reinvested. Income taxes have also been provided for potential tax assessments. The evaluation of an uncertain tax position is a two-step process. The first step is recognition: We determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. In evaluating whether a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we presume that the position would be examined by the appropriate taxing authority that would have full knowledge of all relevant information. The second step is measurement: A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements result in (1) a change in a liability for income taxes payable or (2) a change in an income tax refund receivable, a deferred tax asset or a deferred tax liability or both (1) and (2). We accrue interest and penalties on uncertain tax positions.

Accounting for Investment in National CineMedia, LLC and Related Agreements

We have an investment in NCM. NCM operates a digital in-theatre network in the U.S. for providing cinema advertising and non-film events. Upon joining NCM, the Company and NCM entered into an Exhibitor Services Agreement, pursuant to which NCM provides advertising, promotion and event services to our theatres. On February 13, 2007, National CineMedia, Inc., or “NCM Inc.”, a newly formed entity that serves as a member and the sole manager of NCM, completed an initial public offering of its common stock. In connection with the NCM Inc. initial public offering, we amended our operating agreement and the Exhibitor Services Agreement, or

ES A, with NCM and received proceeds related to the modification of the ESA and our sale of certain of our shares in NCM. The ESA modification reflected a shift from circuit share expense under the prior ESA, which obligated NCM to pay us a percentage of revenue, to a monthly theatre access fee, which significantly reduced the contractual amounts paid to us by NCM. We recorded the proceeds related to the ESA modification as deferred revenue, which is being amortized into other revenues over the life of the agreement using the units of revenue method. As a result of the proceeds received as part of the NCM, Inc. initial public offering, we had a negative basis in our original membership units in NCM (referred to herein as our Tranche 1 Investment). We do not recognize undistributed equity in the earnings on our Tranche 1 Investment until NCM’s future net earnings, less distributions received, surpass the amount of the excess distribution. We recognize equity in earnings on our Tranche 1 Investment only to the extent we receive cash distributions from NCM. We believe that the accounting model provided by ASC 323-10-35-22 for recognition of equity investee losses in excess of an investor’s basis is analogous to the accounting for equity income subsequent to recognizing an excess distribution.

Pursuant to a Common Unit Adjustment Agreement dated as of February 13, 2007 between NCM, Inc. and AMC, Regal and us, collectively referred to as the Founding Members, annual adjustments to the common membership units are made primarily based on increases or decreases in the number of theatre screens operated and theatre attendance generated by each Founding Member. To account for the receipt of additional common units under the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement, we follow the guidance in ASC 323-10-35-29 (formerly EITF 02-18, Accounting for Subsequent Investments in an Investee after Suspension of Equity Loss Recognition) by analogy, which also refers to AICPA Technical Practice Aid 2220.14, which indicates that if a subsequent investment is made in an equity method investee that has experienced significant losses, the investor must determine if the subsequent investment constitutes funding of prior losses. We concluded that the construction or acquisition of new theatres that has led to the common unit adjustments equates to making additional investments in NCM. We evaluated the receipt of the additional common units in NCM and the assets exchanged for these additional units and has determined that the right to use our incremental new screens would not be considered funding of prior losses. We account for these additional common units (referred to herein as our Tranche 2 Investment) as a separate investment than our Tranche 1 Investment. The common units received are recorded at fair value as an increase in our investment in NCM with an offset to deferred revenue. The deferred revenue is amortized over the remaining term of the ESA. Our Tranche 2 Investment is accounted for following the equity method, with undistributed equity earnings related to our Tranche 2 Investment included as a component of equity in income (loss) of affiliates and distributions received related to our Tranche 2 Investment are recorded as a reduction of its investment basis.

Results of Operations

On May 28, 2013, we completed our acquisition of certain Rave theatres consisting of 32 theatres with 483 screens located in 12 states, pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated November 16, 2012 among Cinemark USA, Inc., Rave Cinemas, LLC, Rave Real Property Holdco, LLC and certain of its subsidiaries, Rave Cinemas, LLC and RC Processing, LLC, or the Rave Purchase Agreement. The purchase price consisted of approximately $236 million in cash and the assumption of certain liabilities. The results of operations for these 32 theatres are reflected as of May 28, 2013 and thus not reflected in our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

U.S. The decrease in admissions revenues of $32.0 million was attributable to a 12.8% decrease in attendance partially offset by a 0.9% increase in average ticket price from $6.70 for the first quarter of 2012 to $6.76 for the first quarter of 2013. The decrease in concession revenues of $13.3 million was attributable to the 12.8% decrease in attendance partially offset by a 3.0% increase in concession revenues per patron from $3.30 for the first quarter of 2012 to $3.40 for the first quarter of 2013. The decrease in attendance was primarily due to fewer blockbuster films released during the first quarter of 2013 compared to the films released during the first quarter of 2012, which included The Hunger Games and Dr. Seuss’ The Lorax. The increase in concession revenues per patron was primarily due to incremental sales and price increases.

 

 

International. The increase in admissions revenues of $7.6 million was attributable to a 4.6% increase in attendance and a 2.4% increase in average ticket price from $4.94 for the first quarter of 2012 to $5.06 for the first quarter of 2013. The increase in concession revenues of $5.9 million was attributable to the 4.6% increase in attendance and a 7.1% increase in concession revenues per patron from $2.24 for the first quarter of 2012 to $2.40 for the first quarter of 2013. The increase in attendance was primarily due to new theatres. The increase in average ticket price was primarily due to price increases. The increase in concession revenues per patron was primarily due to incremental sales and price increases.

admissions revenues and a decrease in the film rentals and advertising rate. The decrease in the film rentals and advertising rate was primarily due to fewer blockbuster films released during the first quarter of 2013 compared to the first quarter of 2012. Concession supplies expense was $15.8 million, or 13.4% of concession revenues, for the first quarter of 2013 compared to $16.9 million, or 12.9% of concession revenues, for the first quarter of 2012. The increase in the concession supplies rate was primarily due to increases in inventory procurement costs.

Salaries and wages decreased to $39.7 million for the first quarter of 2013 from $41.6 million for the first quarter of 2012 primarily due to decreased staffing levels related to the 12.8% decrease in attendance. Facility lease expense decreased to $46.9 million for the first quarter of 2013 from $47.7 million for the first quarter of 2012 primarily due to a decrease in percentage rent expense. Utilities and other costs decreased to $42.8 million for the first quarter of 2013 from $44.3 million for the first quarter of 2012 primarily due to decreases in utility costs, property taxes and 3D equipment rental fees, partially offset by increased security expenses.

 

 

International. Film rentals and advertising costs were $55.4 million, or 48.3% of admissions revenues, for the first quarter of 2013 compared to $51.3 million, or 47.9% of admissions revenues, for the first quarter of 2012. Concession supplies expense was $12.2 million, or 22.4% of concession revenues, for the first quarter of 2013 compared to $11.6 million, or 23.9% of concession revenues, for the first quarter of 2012. The decrease in the concession supplies rate is due to the mix of products sold during the first quarter of 2013 compared to the first quarter of 2012 and the impact of concession price increases.

Salaries and wages increased to $18.8 million for the first quarter of 2013 from $16.9 million for the first quarter of 2012 primarily due to increased wage rates and new theatres. Facility lease expense increased to $22.7 million for the first quarter of 2013 from $20.8 million for the first quarter of 2012 primarily due to increased percentage rent expense. Utilities and other costs increased to $26.0 million for the first quarter of 2013 from $22.2 million for the first quarter of 2012 primarily due to increased property taxes and travel expenses.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased to $37.2 million for the first quarter of 2013 from $33.6 million for the first quarter of 2012. The increase was primarily due to increased salaries and incentive compensation expense of approximately $1.8 million and increased professional fees of approximately $1.5 million, which was primarily related to the Rave Acquisition (see Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.)

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense was $39.0 million during the first quarter of 2013 compared to $36.8 million during the first quarter of 2012. The increase was primarily due to new theatres.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. We recorded asset impairment charges on assets held and used of $0.8 million during the first quarter of 2013 compared to $0.2 million during the first quarter of 2012. Impairment charges for the first quarter of 2013 consisted of U.S. and international theatre properties, impacting three of our twenty-four reporting units. Impairment charges for the first quarter of 2012 consisted of U.S. and international theatre properties, impacting four of our twenty-four reporting units. The long-lived asset impairment charges recorded during each of the periods presented were specific to theatres that were directly and individually impacted by increased competition, adverse changes in market demographics or adverse changes in the development or the conditions of the areas surrounding the theatre. See Note 13 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

(Gain) Loss on Sale of Assets and Other. We recorded a gain on sale of assets and other of $0.3 million during the first quarter of 2013 compared to a loss of $0.8 million during the first quarter of 2012.

Interest Expense. Interest costs incurred, including amortization of debt issue costs, were $32.6 million during the first quarter of 2013 compared to $32.1 million during the first quarter of 2012. The increase was primarily due to the issuance of senior notes in December of 2012 partially offset by the lower senior secured

credit facility level and the expiration of two interest rate swap agreements. See Note 4 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for further discussion of our recent long-term debt activity.

Distributions from NCM. We recorded distributions from NCM of $6.1 million during the first quarter of 2013 compared to $8.0 million during the first quarter of 2012, which were in excess of the carrying value of our Tranche 1 investment. See Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Equity in Income of Affiliates. We recorded equity in income of affiliates of $2.4 million during the first quarter of 2013 compared to $1.8 million during the first quarter of 2012. The equity in income of affiliates recorded during the first quarter of 2013 primarily consisted of income of approximately $1.5 million related to our equity investment in Digital Cinema Implementation Partners LLC, or DCIP, (see Note 8 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus) and income of approximately $0.9 million related to our equity investment in NCM (see Note 7 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus). The equity in income of affiliates recorded during the first quarter of 2012 primarily consisted of income of approximately $1.1 million related to our equity investment in DCIP and income of approximately $0.7 million related to our equity investment in NCM.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense of $10.8 million was recorded for the first quarter of 2013 compared to $28.1 million for the first quarter of 2012. The effective tax rate was approximately 24.5% for the first quarter of 2013 compared to 39.4% for the first quarter of 2012. Income tax provisions for interim (quarterly) periods are based on estimated annual income tax rates and are adjusted for the effects of significant, infrequent or unusual items (i.e. discrete items) occurring during the interim period. As a result, the interim rate may vary significantly from the normalized annual rate. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2013 reflects the impact of items related to our Mexico subsidiaries.

Comparison of Years Ended December 31, 2012 and December 31, 2011

U.S. The increase in admissions revenues of $66.0 million was primarily attributable to a 3.2% increase in attendance and a 3.1% increase in average ticket price from $6.52 for 2011 to $6.72 for 2012. The increase in concession revenues of $42.8 million was primarily attributable to the 3.2% increase in attendance and a 5.0% increase in concession revenues per patron from $3.18 for 2011 to $3.34 for 2012. The increase in attendance was primarily due to new theatres. The increase in average ticket price was primarily due to price

increases and an increase in 3-D and XD ticket sales. The increase in concession revenues per patron was primarily due to incremental sales and price increases.

 

 

International. The increase in admissions revenues of $42.8 million was primarily attributable to a 12.6% increase in attendance, partially offset by a 2.6% decrease in average ticket price from $4.93 for 2011 to $4.80 for 2012. The increase in concession revenues of $31.8 million was primarily attributable to the 12.6% increase in attendance and a 3.2% increase in concession revenues per patron from $2.18 for 2011 to $2.25 for 2012. The increase in attendance was primarily due to new theatres, including the ten theatres in Argentina acquired during August 2011. The decrease in average ticket price was primarily due to the unfavorable impact of exchange rates in certain countries in which we operate, partially offset by price increases. The increase in concession revenues per patron was primarily due to price increases, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of exchange rates in certain countries in which we operate. The 10.7% increase in other revenues was primarily due to increased screen advertising revenues in Brazil, Argentina and Mexico, partially offset by the unfavorable impact of exchange rates in certain countries in which we operate.

U.S. Film rentals and advertising costs were $610.5 million, or 55.5% of admissions revenues, for 2012 compared to $574.2 million, or 55.6% of admissions revenues, for 2011. The increase in film rentals and advertising costs of $36.3 million was primarily due to the $66.0 million increase in admissions revenues. Concession supplies expense was $71.1 million, or 13.0% of concession revenues, for 2012 compared to $64.0 million, or 12.7% of concession revenues, for 2011. The increase in the concession supplies rate was primarily due to increases in inventory procurement costs.

Salaries and wages increased to $174.2 million for 2012 from $167.5 million for 2011 primarily due to new theatres. Facility lease expense increased to $191.1 million for 2012 from $185.8 million for 2011 primarily due to new theatres. Utilities and other costs increased to $182.9 million for 2012 from $174.5 million for 2011 primarily due to new theatres, increased equipment lease and personal property tax expenses related to digital and 3-D equipment, increased security expense and increased repairs and maintenance expense.

 

 

International. Film rentals and advertising costs were $234.6 million, or 48.8% of admissions revenues, for 2012 compared to $224.4 million, or 51.2% of admissions revenues, for 2011. The decrease in the film rentals and advertising rate is primarily due to the impact of the increased virtual print fees that we earn from studios on certain films played in our international locations. Concession supplies expense was $52.4 million, or 23.3% of concession revenues, for 2012 compared to $48.1 million, or 24.9% of concession revenues, for 2011. The decrease in the concessions supplies rate is due to the mix of products sold during 2012 compared to 2011 and the impact of concession price increases. Each of the expenses previously discussed were also impacted by the change in exchange rates in certain countries in which we operate.

Salaries and wages increased to $73.2 million for 2012 from $59.0 million for 2011 primarily due to new theatres, including the ten theatres in Argentina acquired during August 2011 and increased wage rates. Facility lease expense was $90.5 million for 2012 and 2011. Utilities and other costs increased to

Table of Contents

$97.8 million for 2012 from $85.2 million for 2011 primarily due to new theatres, including the ten theatres in Argentina acquired during August 2011, increased janitorial costs and increased screen advertising commissions and related expenses. Each of the expenses previously discussed were also impacted by the change in exchange rates in certain countries in which we operate.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased to $146.4 million for 2012 from $125.4 million for 2011. The increase was primarily due to increased salaries and incentive compensation expense of approximately $7.7 million, increased share based awards compensation expense of $5.3 million, increased professional fees of $1.8 million and additional overhead expenses associated with the ten theatres in Argentina acquired in August 2011.

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense, including amortization of favorable/ unfavorable leases, was $147.7 million for 2012 compared to $154.4 million for 2011. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of accelerated depreciation taken on our domestic 35 millimeter projection systems that were replaced with digital projection systems during 2011. We recorded approximately $10.6 million of depreciation expense related to our domestic 35 millimeter projection systems during 2011. Our domestic 35 millimeter projection systems were fully depreciated as of December 31, 2011.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. We recorded asset impairment charges on assets held and used of $3.0 million for 2012 compared to $7.0 million for 2011. Impairment charges for 2012 were related to theatre properties, impacting 14 of our 24 reporting units. Impairment charges for 2011 were related to theatre properties, impacting 14 of our 24 reporting units. The long-lived asset impairment charges recorded during each of the periods presented were specific to theatres that were directly and individually impacted by increased competition, adverse changes in market demographics, or adverse changes in the development or the conditions of the areas surrounding the theatre. See Notes 8 and 9 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Loss on Sale of Assets and Other. We recorded a loss on sale of assets and other of $12.2 million during 2012 compared to $8.8 million during 2011. The loss recorded during 2012 included a $6.7 million lease termination reserve for a closed theatre and the retirement of certain theatre equipment that was replaced during the year. The loss recorded during 2011 included a loss of $2.3 million related to a settlement for a previously terminated interest rate swap agreement, a loss of $1.0 million related to the sale of digital projection systems to DCIP and the write-off of theatre properties and equipment primarily as a result of theatre remodels.

Interest Expense. Interest costs incurred, including amortization of debt issue costs, were $123.7 million for 2012 compared to $123.1 million for 2011. See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for further discussion of our long-term debt.

Loss on Early Retirement of Debt. We recorded a loss on early retirement of debt of $5.6 million during 2012 related to the amendment and restatement of our former senior secured credit facility. We recorded a loss on early retirement of debt of $4.9 million during 2011 related to the prepayment of approximately $157.2 million of the unextended portion of our term loan debt. The loss for the 2011 period included the write-off of $2.2 million of unamortized debt issue costs related to the portion of the term loan debt that was prepaid and the reclassification of $2.7 million from accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings as a result of our determination that quarterly interest payments hedged by certain of our interest rate swap agreements are no longer probable to occur. See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for further discussion of our long-term debt.

Distributions from NCM. We recorded distributions received from NCM of $20.8 million during 2012 and $24.2 million during 2011, which were in excess of the carrying value of our Tranche 1 Investment. See Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Loss on Marketable Securities—RealD. We recorded a loss on our investment in RealD of $12.6 million during 2011 due to an other-than-temporary impairment of our investment. The loss recorded represented the cumulative net unrealized holding losses we had previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. These cumulative net unrealized holding losses were recognized as a loss during 2011 due to the length of time and extent to which RealD’s stock price had been below our basis in the stock. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Equity in Income of Affiliates. We recorded equity in income of affiliates of $13.1 million during 2012 and $5.7 million during 2011. The equity in income of affiliates recorded during 2012 primarily included approximately $4.4 million of income related to our equity investment in NCM (see Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus) and approximately $8.9 million of income related to our equity investment in DCIP (see Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus). The equity in income of affiliates recorded during 2011 primarily included approximately $5.4 million of income related to our equity investment in NCM and approximately $0.5 million of income related to our equity investment in DCIP.

Income Taxes. Income tax expense of $126.2 million was recorded for 2012 compared to $73.9 million recorded for 2011. The effective tax rate for 2012 was 42.2%. The effective tax rate for 2011 was 35.5%. See Note 19 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

U.S. operating segment revenues include eliminations of intercompany transactions with the international operating segment. See Note 21 of our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

 

 

U.S. The decrease in admissions revenues of $11.1 million was primarily attributable to a 1.7% decrease in attendance, partially offset by a 0.6% increase in average ticket price from $6.48 for 2010 to $6.52 for 2011. The increase in concession revenues of $15.5 million was primarily attributable to a 5.0% increase in concession revenues per patron from $3.03 for 2010 to $3.18 for 2011, partially offset by the 1.7% decrease in attendance. The increase in average ticket price was primarily due to incremental 3-D and premium pricing and other price increases, and the increase in concession revenues per patron was primarily due to incremental sales and price increases.

 

 

International. The increase in admissions revenues of $77.3 million was primarily attributable to an 11.1% increase in attendance and a 9.3% increase in average ticket price from $4.51 for 2010 to $4.93 for 2011. The increase in concession revenues of $39.0 million was primarily attributable to the 11.1% increase in attendance and a 13.0% increase in concession revenues per patron from $1.93 for 2010 to $2.18 for 2011.

The increase in average ticket price was primarily due to incremental 3-D and premium pricing and other price increases and the favorable impact of exchange rates in certain countries in which we operate. The increase in concession revenues per patron was primarily due to price increases and the favorable impact of exchange rates in certain countries in which we operate. The 31.8% increase in other revenues was primarily due to increases in ancillary revenue.

U.S. Film rentals and advertising costs were $574.2 million, or 55.6% of admissions revenues, for 2011 compared to $586.6 million, or 56.2% of admissions revenues, for 2010. The decrease in film rentals and advertising costs of $12.4 million was primarily due to the $11.1 million decrease in admissions revenues and a decrease in the film rentals and advertising rate primarily due to fewer blockbuster films released in 2011. Concession supplies expense was $64.0 million, or 12.7% of concession revenues, for 2011 compared to $59.1 million, or 12.1% of concession revenues, for 2010. The increase in the concession supplies rate was primarily due to increases in inventory procurement costs.

Salaries and wages decreased to $167.5 million for 2011 from $174.1 million for 2010 primarily due to the 1.7% decline in attendance and operating efficiencies achieved with reduced staffing levels. Facility lease expense increased to $185.8 million for 2011 from $181.9 million for 2010 primarily due to new theatres. Utilities and other costs increased to $174.5 million for 2011 from $161.5 million for 2010 primarily due to new theatres and increased expenses related to digital and 3-D equipment.

 

 

International. Film rentals and advertising costs were $224.4 million, or 51.2% of admissions revenues, for 2011 compared to $183.1 million, or 50.8% of admissions revenues, for 2010. The increase in film rentals and advertising costs of $41.3 million was primarily due to the $77.3 million increase in admissions revenues and an increase in our film rentals and advertising rate. Concession supplies expense was $48.1 million for 2011 compared to $38.4 million for 2010, both of which represented 24.9% of concession revenues.

Salaries and wages increased to $59.0 million for 2011 from $47.1 million for 2010 primarily due to new theatres, increased wage rates, increased staffing levels to support the 11.1% increase in attendance and the impact of exchange rates in certain countries in which we operate. Facility lease expense increased to $90.5 million for 2011 from $73.8 million for 2010 primarily due to new theatres, increased percentage rent due to the 23.4% increase in revenues and the impact of exchange rates in certain countries in which we operate. Utilities and other costs increased to $85.2 million for 2011 from $78.0 million for 2010 primarily due to new theatres, increased expenses related to 3-D equipment and the impact of exchange rates in certain countries in which we operate.

General and Administrative Expenses. General and administrative expenses increased to $125.4 million for 2011 from $107.0 million for 2010. The increase was primarily due to increased salaries and incentive compensation expense of $5.0 million, increased share based awards compensation expense of $1.3 million, increased professional fees of $2.1 million, increased service charges of $1.0 million related to increased credit card activity and the impact of exchange rates in certain countries in which we operate.

Table of Contents

Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization expense, including amortization of favorable/ unfavorable leases, was $154.4 million for 2011 compared to $143.5 million for 2010. The increase was primarily due to new theatres, the impact of accelerated depreciation taken on our domestic 35 millimeter projection systems that were replaced with digital projection systems and the impact of exchange rates in certain countries in which we operate. We recorded approximately $10.6 million of depreciation expense related to our domestic 35 millimeter projection systems during 2011. Our domestic 35 millimeter projection systems were fully depreciated as of December 31, 2011.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. We recorded asset impairment charges on assets held and used of $7.0 million for 2011 compared to $12.5 million for 2010. Impairment charges for 2011 were related to theatre properties, impacting 14 of our 24 reporting units. Impairment charges for 2010 consisted of $10.8 million of theatre properties and $1.5 million of intangible assets, impacting 18 of our 24 reporting units, and $0.2 million related to an equity investment that was written down to its estimated fair value. The long-lived asset impairment charges recorded during each of the periods presented were specific to theatres that were directly and individually impacted by increased competition, adverse changes in market demographics, or adverse changes in the development or the conditions of the areas surrounding the theatre. See Notes 8 and 9 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

(Gain) Loss on Sale of Assets and Other. We recorded a loss on sale of assets and other of $8.8 million during 2011 compared to a gain on sale of assets and other of $0.4 million during 2010. The loss recorded during 2011 included a loss of $2.3 million related to a settlement for a previously terminated interest rate swap agreement, a loss of $1.0 million related to the sale of digital projection systems to DCIP and the write-off of theatre properties and equipment primarily as a result of theatre remodels. The gain recorded during 2010 included a gain of $7.0 million related to the sale of a theatre in Canada and a gain of $8.5 million related to the sale of our interest in a profit sharing agreement related to another previously sold property in Canada, which were partially offset by a loss of $5.8 million for the write-off of an intangible asset associated with a vendor contract in Mexico that was terminated, a loss of $2.3 million for the write-off of intangible assets associated with our original IMAX license agreement that was terminated, a loss of $2.0 million that was recorded upon the contribution and sale of digital projection systems to DCIP and a loss of $0.9 million related to storm damage to a U.S. theatre. See Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for discussion of DCIP.

Interest Expense. Interest costs incurred, including amortization of debt issue costs, were $ 123.1 million for 2011 compared to $112.4 million for 2010. The increase was primarily due to increases in interest rates on our variable rate debt related to the amendment and extension of our former senior secured credit facility in March 2010 and the refinancing in June 2011 of the unextended portion of our term loan debt outstanding with 7.375% senior subordinated notes due 2021. See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for further discussion of our long-term debt.

Loss on Early Retirement of Debt. We recorded a loss on early retirement of debt of $4.9 million during 2011 related to the prepayment of approximately $157.2 million of the unextended portion of our term loan debt. The loss included the write-off of $2.2 million of unamortized debt issue costs related to the portion of the term loan debt that was prepaid and the reclassification of $2.7 million from accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings as a result of our determination that quarterly interest payments hedged by certain of our interest rate swap agreements are no longer probable to occur. See Note 11 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Distributions from NCM. We recorded distributions received from NCM of $24.2 million during 2011 and $23.4 million during 2010, which were in excess of the carrying value of our Tranche 1 Investment. See Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Loss on Marketable Securities—RealD. We recorded a loss on our investment in RealD of $12.6 million due to an other-than-temporary impairment of our investment. The loss recorded represented the cumulative net

 

57


Table of Contents

unrealized holding losses we had previously recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss. These cumulative net unrealized holding losses were recognized as a loss during 2011 due to the length of time and extent to which RealD’s stock price had been below our basis in the stock. See Note 6 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Equity in Income (Loss) of Affiliates. We recorded equity in income of affiliates of $5.7 million during 2011 compared to a loss of $3.4 million during 2010. The equity in income of affiliates recorded during 2011 primarily included approximately $5.4 million of income related to our equity investment in NCM (see Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus) and approximately $0.5 million of income related to our equity investment in DCIP (see Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus). The equity in loss of affiliates recorded during 2010 primarily included a loss of approximately $7.9 million related to our equity investment in DCIP (see Note 5 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus), offset by income of approximately $4.5 million related to our equity investment in NCM (see Note 4 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus).

Income Taxes. Income tax expense of $73.9 million was recorded for 2011 compared to $58.6 million recorded for 2010. The effective tax rate for 2011 was 35.5%. The effective tax rate for 2010 was 28.0%. See Note 19 to our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Operating Activities

We primarily collect our revenues in cash, mainly through box office receipts and the sale of concessions. In addition, a majority of our theatres provide the patron a choice of using a credit card or debit card in place of cash. Because our revenues are received in cash prior to the payment of related expenses, we have an operating “float” and historically have not required traditional working capital financing.

Cash provided by operating activities amounted to $266.2 million, $390.9 million and $394.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2010 is lower primarily due to a higher film rental liability at December 31, 2009 attributable to the significant domestic box office performance during the latter part of December 2009, when Avatar was released.

Cash provided by operating activities was $42.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $97.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease in cash provided by operating activities was primarily due to a higher level of accounts payable and accrued expense payments made during the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012. Revenues generated during the latter part of 2012 were significantly higher than the latter part of 2011, resulting in higher levels of accounts payable and accrued expenses at December 31, 2012 compared to December 31, 2011.

Investing Activities

Our investing activities have been principally related to the development and acquisition of theatres. New theatre openings and acquisitions historically have been financed with internally generated cash and by debt financing, including borrowings under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility.

Cash used for investing activities amounted to $136.1 million, $247.1 million and $234.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Cash used for investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2011 included the acquisition of ten theatres in Argentina for approximately $67.0 million (see Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus). Cash used for investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2012 included the acquisition of one theatre in the U.S. for $14.1 million and an increased level of capital expenditures.

Table of Contents

Cash used for investing activities was $31.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $61.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The decrease in cash used for investing activities was primarily due to the acquisition of a theatre in the U.S. in the first quarter of 2012 for approximately $14.1 million and decreased capital expenditures.

Capital expenditures for the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012 and the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 were as follows (in millions):

On May 28, 2013, we completed our acquisition of certain Rave theatres consisting of 32 theatres with 483 screens located in 12 states, pursuant to the Rave Purchase Agreement. The purchase price consisted of approximately $236 million in cash and the assumption of certain liabilities. The results of operations for these 32 theatres are reflected as of May 28, 2013 and thus not reflected in our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2013.

We continue to invest in our U.S. theatre circuit, which consisted of 3,916 screens at March 31, 2013. At March 31, 2013, we had signed commitments to open ten new theatres with 119 screens in domestic markets during the remainder of 2013 and open six new theatres with 74 screens subsequent to 2013. We estimate the remaining capital expenditures for the development of these 193 domestic screens will be approximately $119 million. Actual expenditures for continued theatre development and acquisitions are subject to change based upon the availability of attractive opportunities.

We also continue to invest in our international theatre circuit. We built two new theatres and 19 screens during the three months ended March 31, 2013, bringing our total international screen count to 1,343 as of March 31, 2013. At March 31, 2013, we had signed commitments to open 12 new theatres with 76 screens in international markets during the remainder of 2013 and open three new theatres with 23 screens subsequent to 2013. We estimate the remaining capital expenditures for the development of these 99 international screens will be approximately $88 million. Actual expenditures for continued theatre development and acquisitions are subject to change based upon the availability of attractive opportunities.

We plan to fund capital expenditures for our continued development with cash flow from operations, borrowings under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility, and proceeds from debt issuances, sale leaseback transactions and/or sales of excess real estate.

Financing Activities

Cash provided by (used for) financing activities was $(108.2) million, $(78.0) million and $63.6 million during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Cash provided by financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2012 includes proceeds of $700.0 million from the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility and proceeds of $400.0 million from the issuance of the 5.125% Senior Notes, partially offset by the use of a portion of these proceeds to pay off the remaining $899.0 million term loan outstanding under our former senior secured credit facility. See below for further information regarding these transactions. Cash used for financing activities was $28.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 compared to $32.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility

On December 18, 2012, we amended and restated our former senior secured credit facility to include a seven year $700.0 million term loan and a five year $100.0 million revolving credit line. The proceeds from the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility, combined with a portion of the proceeds from the 5.125% Senior Notes discussed below, were used to refinance our former senior secured credit facility. We incurred debt issue costs of approximately $12.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2012 related to the amendment and restatement. The term loan under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility matures in December 2019. The revolving credit line, which was undrawn at closing and remained undrawn as of December 31, 2012, matures in December 2017. Quarterly principal payments in the amount of $1.75 million are due on the term loan beginning March 2013 through September 2019 with the remaining principal of $652.8 million due on December 18, 2019.

Interest on the term loan accrues at our option at: (A) the base rate equal to the higher of (1) the prime lending rate as set forth on the British Banking Association Telerate page 5, or (2) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50%, plus a margin of 2.0% per annum, or (B) a “eurodollar rate” plus a margin of 3.0% per annum. Interest on the revolving credit line accrues, at our option, at: (A) a base rate equal to the higher of (1) the prime lending rate as set forth on the British Banking Association Telerate page 5 and (2) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50%, plus a margin that ranges from 1.00% to 1.75% per annum, or (B) a “eurodollar rate” plus a margin that ranges from 2.00% to 2.75% per annum. The margin of the revolving credit line is determined by the consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio, as defined in the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility.

Our obligations under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility are guaranteed by Cinemark Holdings and certain of our domestic subsidiaries and are secured by mortgages on certain fee and leasehold properties and security interests in substantially all of our and the guarantors’ personal property, including, without limitation, pledges of all of our capital stock, all of the capital stock of certain of our domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the voting stock of certain of our foreign subsidiaries.

The Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility contains usual and customary negative covenants for agreements of this type, including, but not limited to, restrictions on our ability, and in certain instances, our subsidiaries’ and Cinemark Holdings’ ability, to consolidate or merge or liquidate, wind up or dissolve; substantially change the nature of our business; sell, transfer or dispose of assets; create or incur indebtedness; create liens; pay dividends, and repurchase stock; and make capital expenditures and investments. If we have borrowings outstanding on the revolving credit line, we are required to satisfy a consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio covenant as determined in accordance with the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility.

The dividend restriction contained in the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility prevents us and any of our subsidiaries from paying a dividend or otherwise distributing cash to our stockholders unless (1) we are not in default, and the distribution would not cause us to be in default, under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility; and (2) the aggregate amount of certain dividends, distributions, investments, redemptions and capital expenditures made since December 18, 2012, including dividends declared by the board of directors, is less than the sum of (a) the aggregate amount of cash and cash equivalents received by Cinemark Holdings, Inc. or us as common equity since December 18, 2012, (b) our consolidated earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortization, or EBITDA, minus 1.75 times consolidated interest expense, each as defined in the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility, and (c) certain other defined amounts. As of March 31, 2013, we could have distributed up to approximately $1,413.5 million to our parent company and sole stockholder, Cinemark Holdings, under the terms of the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility, subject to available cash and other borrowing restrictions outlined in the credit agreement.

At March 31, 2013, there was $698.3 million outstanding under the term loan and no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit line. We had $100.0 million in available borrowing capacity on the revolving credit line. The average interest rate on outstanding term loan borrowings under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility at March 31, 2013 was approximately 4.0% per annum.

5.125% Senior Notes

On December 18, 2012, we issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.125% Senior Notes at par value. A portion of the proceeds were used to refinance a portion of the former senior secured credit facility and the remainder was used to fund the purchase price for the acquisition of certain Rave theatres pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated November 16, 2012 among Cinemark USA, Inc., Rave Cinemas, LLC, Rave Real Property Holdco, LLC and certain of its subsidiaries and RC Processing, LLC, and for general corporate purposes. Interest on the 5.125% Senior Notes is payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning June 15, 2013. The 5.125% Senior Notes mature on December 15, 2022.

The 5.125% Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior unsecured basis by our guarantors. The 5.125% Senior Notes and the guarantees are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of our and our guarantors’ existing and future senior unsecured debt, including the Exchange Notes, and senior in right of payment to all of our and our guarantors’ existing and future subordinated debt, including the senior subordinated notes. The 5.125% Senior Notes and the guarantees are effectively subordinated to all of our and our guarantors’ existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt, including all borrowings under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility. The 5.125% Senior Notes and the guarantees are structurally subordinated to all existing and future debt and other liabilities of our subsidiaries (other than debt and other liabilities owed to us) that do not guarantee the 5.125% Senior Notes.

The indenture governing the 5.125% Senior Notes contains covenants that limit, among other things, our and certain of our subsidiaries’ ability to (1) make investments or other restricted payments, including paying dividends, making other distributions or repurchasing subordinated debt or equity, (2) incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock, (3) enter into transactions with affiliates, (4) enter new lines of business, (5) merge or consolidate with, or sell all or substantially all of its assets to, another person and (6) create liens. As of March 31, 2013, we could have distributed up to approximately $1,146.8 million to Cinemark Holdings under the terms of the indenture governing the 5.125% Senior Notes, subject to our available cash and other borrowing restrictions outlined in the indenture. Upon a change of control, as defined in the indenture, we would be required to make an offer to repurchase the 5.125% Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, through the date of repurchase.

The indenture governing the 5.125% Senior Notes allows us to incur additional indebtedness if we satisfy the coverage ratio specified in the indenture, after giving effect to the incurrence of the additional indebtedness, and in certain other circumstances. The required minimum coverage ratio is 2 to 1 and our actual ratio as of March 31, 2013 was approximately 5.3 to 1. Prior to December 15, 2017, we may redeem all or any part of the 5.125% Senior Notes at our option at 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium. After December 15, 2017, we may redeem the 5.125% Senior Notes in whole or in part at redemption prices specified in the indenture governing the 5.125% Senior Notes. In addition, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 5.125% Senior Notes with funds in an amount equal to the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at the redemption price specified in the indenture governing the 5.125% Senior Notes.

The indenture governing the 5.125% Senior Notes also provides for customary events of default that, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal of, and accrued interest on, the 5.125% Senior Notes to become or to be declared due and payable.

We and our guarantors filed a registration statement with the Commission on April 16, 2013, pursuant to which we offered to exchange the 5.125% Senior Notes for substantially similar 5.125% Senior Notes registered under the Securities Act. The registration statement was declared effective on April 24, 2013 and all of the notes were exchanged on May 24, 2013. The registered 5.125% Senior Notes issued in the exchange do not have transfer restrictions.

7.375% Senior Subordinated Notes

On June 3, 2011, we issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Notes at par value.

Interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes is payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The Senior Subordinated Notes mature on June 15, 2021.

The Senior Subordinated Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior subordinated unsecured basis by our guarantors. The Senior Subordinated Notes and the guarantees are senior subordinated unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of our and a guarantor’s future senior subordinated indebtedness; are subordinate in right of payment to all of our and a guarantor’s existing and future senior indebtedness, whether secured or unsecured, including our obligations under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility, the 5.125% Senior Notes and the Exchange Notes; and structurally subordinate to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of our non-guarantor subsidiaries.

The indenture governing the Senior Subordinated Notes contains covenants that limit, among other things, our and certain of our subsidiaries’ ability to (1) make investments or other restricted payments, including paying dividends, making other distributions or repurchasing subordinated debt or equity, (2) incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock, (3) enter into transactions with affiliates, (4) enter new lines of business, (5) merge or consolidate with, or sell all or substantially all of our assets to, another person and (6) create liens.

8.625% Senior Notes

On June 29, 2009, we issued $470.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 8.625% Senior Notes, with an original issue discount of $11.5 million, resulting in proceeds of approximately $458.5 million. The proceeds were primarily used to fund the repurchase of the then remaining outstanding $419.4 million aggregate principal amount at maturity of our former parent company’s, Cinemark, Inc.’s, 9.75% senior discount notes due 2014. Interest on the 8.625% Senior Notes was payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year. As of March 31, 2013, the carrying value of the 8.625% Senior Notes was $461.7 million.

Ratings

We are rated by nationally recognized rating agencies. The rating scales and methodologies used to derive individual ratings may vary from agency to agency. Credit ratings are issued by credit rating agencies based on evaluations of our ability to pay back our outstanding debt and the likelihood that we would default on that debt prior to its maturity. The credit ratings issued by the credit rating agencies represent the credit rating agency’s evaluation of both qualitative and quantitative information for our company. The credit ratings that are issued are based on the credit rating agency’s judgment and experience in determining what information should be considered in giving a rating to a particular company. Ratings are always subject to change and there can be no assurance that our current ratings will continue for any given period of time. A downgrade of our debt ratings, depending on the extent, could increase the cost to borrow funds. Below are our latest credit ratings, which were published by the respective agency as indicated below.

Seasonality

Our revenues have historically been seasonal, coinciding with the timing of releases of motion pictures by the major distributors. Generally, the most successful motion pictures have been released during the summer, extending from May to mid-August, and during the holiday season, extending from early November through year-end. The unexpected emergence of a hit film during other periods can alter this seasonality trend. The timing of such film releases can have a significant effect on our results of operations, and the results of one quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for the next quarter or for the same period in the following year.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We have exposure to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates.

Interest Rate Risk

We are currently party to variable rate debt facilities. An increase or decrease in interest rates would affect our interest expense relating to our variable rate debt facilities. At March 31, 2013, there was an aggregate of approximately $248.3 million of variable rate debt outstanding under these facilities, which excludes $450.0 million of our term loan debt that is hedged with our interest rate swap agreements, as discussed below.

Based on the interest rates in effect on the variable rate debt outstanding at March 31, 2013, a 100 basis point increase in market interest rates would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $2.5 million.

All of our current interest rate swap agreements qualify for cash flow hedge accounting. The fair values of the interest rate swaps are recorded on our consolidated balance sheet as an asset or liability with the effective portion of the interest rate swaps’ gains or losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and the ineffective portion reported in earnings.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

We are also exposed to market risk arising from changes in foreign currency exchange rates as a result of our international operations. Generally, we export from the U.S. certain of the equipment and construction interior finish items and other operating supplies used by our international subsidiaries. A majority of the revenues and operating expenses of our international subsidiaries are transacted in the country’s local currency. U.S. GAAP requires that our subsidiaries use the currency of the primary economic environment in which they operate as their functional currency. If our subsidiaries operate in a highly inflationary economy, U.S. GAAP requires that the U.S. dollar be used as the functional currency for the subsidiary. Currency fluctuations in the countries in which we operate result in us reporting exchange gains (losses) or foreign currency translation adjustments. Based upon our equity ownership in our international subsidiaries as of March 31, 2013, holding everything else constant, a 10% immediate, simultaneous, unfavorable change in all of the foreign currency exchange rates to which we are exposed, would decrease the aggregate net book value of our investments in our international subsidiaries by approximately $51.4 million and would decrease the aggregate net income of our international subsidiaries for the three months ended March 31, 2013 by approximately $1.3 million.

As of March 31, 2013, we managed our business under two reportable operating segments: U.S. markets and international markets. See Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

Our principal executive offices are at 3900 Dallas Parkway, Suite 500, Plano, Texas 75093. Our telephone number is (972) 665-1000. We maintain a corporate website at www.cinemark.com.

Description of Business

We are a leader in the motion picture exhibition industry in terms of both attendance and the number of screens in operation. As of March 31, 2013, we operated 467 theatres and 5,259 screens in the U.S. and Latin America, and approximately 263.7 million patrons attended our theatres worldwide during the year ended December 31, 2012. Our circuit is the third largest in the U.S. with 298 theatres and 3,916 screens in 39 states as of March 31, 2013. We are the most geographically diverse circuit in Latin America with 169 theatres and 1,343 screens in 13 countries as of March 31, 2013.

We selectively build or acquire new theatres in markets where we can establish and maintain a strong market position. We believe our portfolio of modern theatres provides a preferred destination for moviegoers and contributes to our solid cash flows from operating activities. Our significant presence in the United States and Latin America has made us an important distribution channel for movie studios, particularly as they look to capitalize on the expanding worldwide box office. Our market leadership is attributable in large part to our senior executives, whose years of industry experience range from 16 to 54 years and who have successfully navigated us through many industry and economic cycles.

Revenues, operating income and net income attributable to Cinemark USA, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2012 were $2,473.5 million, $385.9 million and $170.3 million, respectively, and were $547.8 million, $66.2 million and $32.9 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2013. At March 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $723.8 million and long-term debt of $1,761.8 million. Approximately $248.3 million, or approximately 14%, of our total long-term debt accrues interest at variable rates and approximately $8.8 million of our long-term debt matures in the next 12 months.

Currently, 100% of our first-run domestic theatres are fully digital and we continue to convert our international theatres, which were approximately 43% digital as of March 31, 2013. Digital projection technology gives us greater flexibility in programming and facilitates the exhibition of live and pre-recorded alternative entertainment. We also continue to roll out our Cinemark XD Extreme Digital Cinema, or XD, which offers a premium experience auditorium concept utilizing large screens and the latest in digital projection and enhanced custom sound technologies. The XD experience includes wall-to-wall and ceiling-to-floor screens, wrap-around sound, plush seating and a maximum comfort entertainment environment for an intense sensory experience. We charge a premium price for the XD experience. The XD technology does not require special

format movie prints, which allows us the flexibility to play any available digital print we choose, including 3-D content, in the XD auditorium. As of March 31, 2013, we had 120 XD auditoriums in our circuit and have plans to install 30 to 40 more XD auditoriums during the remainder of 2013.

During 2010, we introduced our NextGen concept, which features wall-to-wall and ceiling-to-floor screens and the latest digital projection and sound technologies in all of the auditoriums of a complex. These theatres generally also have an XD auditorium, which offers the wall-to-wall and ceiling-to-floor screen in a larger auditorium with enhanced sound and seating. Most of our future domestic theatres will incorporate this NextGen concept. As of March 31, 2013, 109 screens within nine theatres have the NextGen concept. Eight of these nine theatres also have an XD screen.

Motion Picture Exhibition Industry Overview

The motion picture exhibition industry began its conversion to digital projection technology during 2009. Digital projection technology allows filmmakers the ability to showcase imaginative works of art exactly as they were intended, with incredible realism and detail and in a range of up to 35 trillion colors. Digital features are not susceptible to scratching and fading; therefore digital presentations remain clear and sharp for every screening. A digitally produced or digitally converted movie can be distributed to theatres via satellite, physical media, or fiber optic networks. The digitized movie is stored on a computer/server which “serves” it to a digital projector for each screening of the movie and due to the format, enables us to more efficiently move titles between auditoriums within a theatre as demand increases or decreases for each title. In addition, the conversion to digital technology may reduce production and distribution costs as it will eliminate the need to produce and transport multiple film reels.

Digital projection also allows us to present 3-D content and alternative entertainment such as live and pre-recorded sports programs, concert events, the opera and other special presentations. Thirty-five films released during 2011 were available in 3-D format, 33 films were available in 3-D format during 2012 and at least 32 3-D films are currently expected to be released during 2013. Three-dimensional technology offers a premium experience with crisp, bright, ultra-realistic images that create an immersive film experience for the patron. A premium is charged for a 3-D presentation.

The motion picture exhibition industry is also developing a distribution network that would allow for distribution of all digital content to theatres via satellite. We are participating in a joint venture with certain exhibitors and distributors called Digital Cinema Distribution Coalition, whose goal is to establish this satellite distribution network.

Domestic Markets

The U.S. motion picture exhibition industry has a track record of long-term growth, with box office revenues growing at an estimated compound annual growth rate, or CAGR, of 1.7% from 2002 to 2012. Against this background of steady long-term growth, the exhibition industry has experienced periodic short-term increases and decreases in attendance, and consequently box office revenues. According to data published by MPAA, 2012 U.S. box office revenues were approximately $10.8 billion, an approximate 6% increase over 2011, and an all-time industry record.

Films leading the box office during the year ended December 31, 2012 included The Avengers, The Dark Knight Rises, The Hunger Games, Skyfall, The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 2, The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey, Dr. Suess’ The Lorax, Madagascar 3: Europe’s Most Wanted, Men in Black 3, Taken 2, Snow White and the Huntsman, Safe House, The Vow, Brave, Prometheus, The Amazing Spider-Man, Ice Age: Continental Drift and The Bourne Legacy, among other films.

Films leading the box office during the three months ended March 31, 2013 included Oz: The Great and Powerful, Identify Thief, Silver Linings Playbook, Zero Dark Thirty, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, The Croods and Django Unchained. The film slate for the remainder of 2013 currently includes sequels such as The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, Iron Man 3, The Hangover 3, Monsters University, Despicable Me 2, Star Trek Into Darkness and Fast & Furious 6 and highly anticipated original titles such as Man of Steel, Oblivion, Pacific Rim, Lone Ranger and World War Z, among other films.

International Markets

International box office revenues continue to grow. According to MPAA, international box office revenues were $23.9 billion for the year ended December 31, 2012, which is a result of strong economies, ticket price increases and new theatre construction. According to MPAA, Latin American box office revenues were $2.8 billion for the year ended December 31, 2012, representing a 6% increase from 2011.

Growth in Latin America is expected to continue to be fueled by a combination of robust economies, growing populations, an emerging middle class, attractive demographics (i.e., a significant teenage population), substantial retail development, and quality product from Hollywood, including an increasing number of 3-D films. In many Latin American countries including, Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Colombia and Chile, successful local film product can also provide incremental box office growth opportunities.

We believe many international markets for theatrical exhibition have historically been underserved and that certain of these markets, especially those in Latin America, will continue to experience growth as additional modern stadium-styled theatres are introduced, film product offerings continue to expand and the local economies continue to grow.

Drivers of Continued Industry Success

We believe the following market trends will drive the continued growth and strength of our industry:

Importance of Theatrical Success in Establishing Movie Brands and Subsequent Markets. Theatrical exhibition is the primary distribution channel for new motion picture releases. A successful theatrical release

which “brands” a film is one of the major factors in determining its success in “downstream” markets, such as digital downloads, DVDs, network and syndicated television, video on-demand, pay-per-view television and the Internet.

Increased Importance of International Markets for Box Office Success. International markets continue to be an increasingly important component of the overall box office revenues generated by Hollywood films, accounting for $23.9 billion, or approximately 69% of 2012 total worldwide box office revenues according to MPAA. With the continued growth of the international motion picture exhibition industry, we believe the relative contribution of markets outside North America will become even more significant. Many of the top U.S. films released recently also performed exceptionally well in international markets. Such films included The Avengers, which grossed approximately $892.3 million in international markets, or 59% of its worldwide box office, Ice Age: Continental Drift, which grossed approximately $716.1 million in international markets, or 82% of its worldwide box office, and Skyfall, which grossed approximately $726.4 million in international markets, or 71% of its worldwide box office.

Stable Long-Term Attendance Trends. We believe that long-term trends in motion picture attendance in the U.S. will continue to benefit the industry. Even during the recent recessionary period, attendance levels remained stable as consumers selected the theatre as a preferred value for their discretionary income. With the motion picture exhibition industry’s transition to digital projection technology, the products offered by motion picture exhibitors continue to expand, attracting a broader base of patrons.

Convenient and Affordable Form of Out-Of-Home Entertainment. Movie-going continues to be one of the most convenient and affordable forms of out-of-home entertainment, with an estimated average ticket price in the U.S. of $7.96 in 2012. Average prices in 2012 for other forms of out-of-home entertainment in the U.S., including sporting events and theme parks, range from approximately $27.00 to $78.00 per ticket according to MPAA.

Innovation with Digital Technology. Our industry began its conversion to digital projection technology during 2009, which has allowed exhibitors to expand their product offerings. Digital projection allows the presentation of 3-D content and alternative entertainment such as live and pre-recorded sports programs, concert events, the opera and other special presentations. These additional programming alternatives may expand the industry’s customer base and increase patronage for exhibitors.

We believe the following strengths allow us to compete effectively:

Disciplined Operating Philosophy. We generated operating income and net income attributable to Cinemark USA, Inc. of $385.9 million and $170.3 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2012 and $66.2 million and $32.9 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2013. Our solid operating performance is a result of our disciplined operating philosophy that centers on building high quality assets, while negotiating favorable theatre level economics, controlling operating costs and effectively reacting to economic and market changes.

Leading Position in Our U.S. Markets. We have a leading market share in the U.S. metropolitan and suburban markets we serve. For the year ended December 31, 2012, we ranked either first or second based on box office revenues in 24 out of our top 30 U.S. markets, including the San Francisco Bay Area, Dallas, Houston, Salt Lake City and Sacramento.

Strategically Located in Heavily Populated Latin American Markets. Since 1993, we have invested throughout Latin America in response to the continued growth of the region. As of March 31, 2013, we operated 169 theatres and 1,343 screens in 13 countries. Our international screens generated revenues of $777.7 million, or 31.4% of our total revenues, for the year ended December 31, 2012. We have successfully established a

significant presence in major cities in the region, with theatres in 14 of the 15 largest metropolitan areas. We are the largest exhibitor in Brazil and Argentina. Our geographic diversity makes us an important distribution channel to the movie studios. As of March 31, 2013, approximately 88% of our international first-run screens offered stadium seating. We are well-positioned with our modern, large-format theatres to take advantage of these factors for further growth and diversification of our revenues.

State-of-the-Art Theatre Circuit. We offer state-of-the-art theatres, which we believe makes our theatres a preferred destination for moviegoers in our markets. During 2012, we increased the size of our circuit by adding 129 new state-of-the-art screens worldwide, while closing 41 screens. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we added two theatres and 19 screens. As of March 31, 2013, we had commitments to open 292 additional new screens over the next three years. We have installed digital projection technology in 100% of our U.S. first-run auditoriums and approximately 43% of our international auditoriums, with plans to install digital projection technology in 100% of our international auditoriums. As of March 31, 2013, approximately 51% of our U.S. screens and 40% of our international screens were 3-D compatible. We also have eight digital IMAX screens. As of March 31, 2013, we had 120 XD auditoriums in our theatres and have plans to install 30 to 40 additional XD auditoriums during the remainder of 2013. Our new NextGen theatre concept provides further credence to our commitment to provide a continuing state-of-the-art movie-viewing experience to our patrons.

Solid Balance Sheet with Significant Cash Flow from Operating Activities. We generate significant cash flow from operating activities as a result of several factors, including a geographically diverse and modern theatre circuit and management’s ability to control costs and effectively react to economic and market changes. Additionally, owning land and buildings for 41 of our theatres is a strategic advantage that enhances our cash flows. We believe our expected level of cash flow generation will provide us with the financial flexibility to continue to pursue growth opportunities, support our debt payments and continue to make dividend payments to our stockholders. In addition, as of March 31, 2013, we owned approximately 18.7 million units of National CineMedia, LLC, or NCM, which are convertible into shares of National CineMedia, Inc.’s common stock and owned approximately 1.2 million shares of RealD Inc., or RealD, both of which offer us an additional source of cash flows. As of March 31, 2013, we had cash and cash equivalents of $723.8 million.

Experienced Management. Led by Chairman and founder Lee Roy Mitchell, Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Operating Officer Timothy Warner, Chief Financial Officer Robert Copple and President- International Valmir Fernandes, our management team has many years of theatre operating experience, ranging from 16 to 54 years, executing a focused strategy that has led to consistent operating results. This management team has successfully navigated us through many industry and economic cycles.

Our Strategy

We believe our disciplined operating philosophy and experienced management team will enable us to continue to enhance our leading position in the motion picture exhibition industry. Key components of our strategy include:

Establish and Maintain Leading Market Positions. We will continue to seek growth opportunities by building or acquiring modern theatres that meet our strategic, financial and demographic criteria. We focus on establishing and maintaining a leading position in the markets we currently serve. We also monitor economic and market trends to ensure we offer a broad range of products and prices that satisfy our patrons.

Continue to Focus on Operational Excellence. We will continue to focus on achieving operational excellence by controlling theatre operating costs and adequately training our staff while continuing to provide leading customer service. Our margins reflect our track record of operating efficiency.

Selectively Build in Profitable, Strategic Latin American Markets. Our continued international expansion will remain focused primarily on Latin America through construction of modern, state-of-the-art theatres in growing urban markets. As of March 31, 2013, we had commitments to build 12 new theatres with 76 screens

Table of Contents

during the remainder of 2013 and three new theatres with 23 screens subsequent to 2013, investing an additional $88 million in our Latin American markets. We also plan to install digital projection technology in all of our international auditoriums, which allows us to present 3-D and alternative content in these markets. As of March 31, 2013, approximately 40% of our international auditoriums were 3-D compatible. As of March 31, 2013, we had 45 of our proprietary XD auditoriums installed in our international theatres and have plans to install approximately 15 to 20 additional XD auditoriums internationally during the remainder of 2013.

Commitment to Digital Innovation. Our commitment to technological innovation has resulted in us being 100% digital in our U.S. first-run auditoriums as of March 31, 2013, approximately 51% of which are 3-D compatible. We also had 576 digital auditoriums in our international markets as of March 31, 2013, 539 of which are 3-D compatible. We are planning to convert 100% of our worldwide circuit to digital projection technology, approximately 40-50% of which will be 3-D compatible. We also plan to expand our XD auditorium footprint in various markets throughout the U.S. and in select international markets, which offers our patrons a premium movie-viewing experience.

Theatre Operations

As of March 31, 2013, we operated 467 theatres and 5,259 screens in 39 states and 13 Latin American countries. Our theatres in the U.S. are primarily located in mid-sized U.S. markets, including suburbs of major metropolitan areas. We believe these markets are generally less competitive and generate high, stable margins. Our theatres in Latin America are primarily located in major metropolitan markets, which we believe are generally underscreened. The following tables summarize the geographic locations of our theatre circuit as of March 31, 2013:

We first entered Latin America when we began operating movie theatres in Chile in 1993 and Mexico in 1994. Since then, through our focused international strategy, we have developed into the most geographically diverse theatre circuit in the region. We have balanced our risk through a diversified international portfolio, currently operating theatres in 14 of the 15 largest metropolitan areas in Latin America. In addition, we have achieved significant scale in Brazil, where we are the largest exhibitor, with 471 screens as of March 31, 2013. We are also the largest exhibitor in Argentina.

We believe that certain markets within Latin America continue to be underserved as penetration of movie screens per capita in Latin American markets is substantially lower than in the U.S. and European markets. We intend to build and expand our presence in underserved international markets, with emphasis on Latin America, and fund our expansion primarily with cash flow generated in those markets. We are able to mitigate cash flow exposure to currency fluctuations by using local currencies to collect a majority of our revenues and fund a majority of the costs of our international operations. Our geographic diversity throughout Latin America has allowed us to maintain consistent revenue growth, notwithstanding currency and economic fluctuations that may affect any particular market. Our international revenues were approximately $777.7 million during 2012 compared to $696.1 million during 2011.

Film Licensing

In the domestic marketplace, our film department negotiates with film distributors, which are made up of the traditional major film companies, specialized and art divisions of some of these major film companies, and many other independent film distributors. The film distributors are responsible for determining film release dates, the related marketing campaigns and the expenditures related to marketing materials, television spots and other advertising outlets. The marketing campaign of each movie may include tours of the actors in the movies and coordination of articles and features about each movie. We are responsible for booking the films in negotiated film zones, which are either free zones or competitive zones. In free zones, movies can be booked without regard to the location of another exhibitor within that area. In competitive zones, the distributor allocates its movies generally based on demographics, the conditions, capacity and grossing potential of each theatre, and licensing terms. We are the sole exhibitor in approximately 91% of the 253 film zones in which our first run U.S. theatres operate. In film zones where there is no direct competition from other theatres, we select those films that we believe will be the most successful from those offered by film distributors.

Internationally, our local film personnel negotiate with local offices of major film distributors as well as local film distributors to license films for our international theatres. In the international marketplace, films are not allocated to a single theatre in a geographic film zone, but played by competitive theatres simultaneously. Our theatre personnel focus on providing excellent customer service, and we provide a modern facility with the most up-to-date sound systems, comfortable stadium style seating and other amenities typical of modern American-style multiplexes, which we believe gives us a competitive advantage in markets where competing theatres play the same films. Of the 1,343 screens we operate in international markets, approximately 80% have no direct competition from other theatres.

Our film rental fees in the U.S. are generally based on a film’s box office receipts and either mutually agreed upon firm terms, a sliding scale formula, or a mutually agreed upon settlement, subject to the film licensing agreement with the film distributor. Under a firm terms formula, we pay the distributor a mutually agreed upon specified percentage of box office receipts. Under a sliding scale formula, we pay a percentage of box office revenues using a pre-determined matrix that is based upon box office performance of the film. The settlement process allows for negotiation of film rental fees upon the conclusion of the film run based upon how the film performs. Internationally, our film rental fees are primarily based on mutually agreed upon firm terms that are based upon a specified percentage of box office receipts.

We regularly play art and independent films at many of our U.S. theatres, providing a variety of film choices to our patrons. Bringing art and independent films to our theatres allows us to benefit from the growth in the art and independent market driven by the more mature patron and increased interest in art, foreign and documentary films. High profile film festivals, such as the Sundance Film Festival, have contributed to interest in this genre. The performance of films such as Silver Linings Playbook, The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and Moonrise Kingdom have demonstrated the box office potential of art and independent films.

Food and Beverage

Concession sales are our second largest revenue source, representing approximately 31% of total revenues. Concession sales have a much higher margin than admissions sales. We have devoted considerable management effort to increase concession sales and improve operating margins. These efforts include implementation of the following strategies:

 

   

Optimization of product mix. We offer concession products that primarily include various sizes and types of popcorn, soft drinks, coffees, juices, candy and quickly-prepared food, such as hot dogs, nachos and ice cream. Different varieties and flavors of candy and drinks are offered at theatres based on preferences in that particular market. Our point of sale system allows us to monitor product sales and make changes to product mix when necessary, which also allows us to quickly take advantage of national as well as regional product launches. Specially priced combos and promotions are introduced

 

74


Table of Contents
 

on a regular basis to increase average concession purchases as well as to attract new buyers. We periodically offer our loyal patrons opportunities to receive a discount on certain products by offering reusable popcorn tubs and soft drink cups that can be refilled at a discount off the regular price.

 

   

Staff training. Employees are continually trained in proper sales techniques. Consumer promotions conducted at the concession stand usually include a motivational element that rewards theatre staff for exceptional sales of certain promotional items.

 

   

Theatre design. Our theatres are designed to optimize efficiencies at the concession stands, which include multiple service stations throughout a theatre to facilitate serving patrons in an expedited manner. We strategically place large concession stands within theatres to heighten visibility, reduce the length of concession lines, and improve traffic flow around the concession stands. We have self-service cafeteria-style concession areas in many of our domestic theatres, which allow customers to select their own refreshments and proceed to the cash register when they are ready. This design allows for efficient service, enhanced choices, impulse purchases and superior visibility of concession items. Concession designs in many of our new domestic theatres have incorporated the self-service model.

 

   

Cost control. We negotiate prices for concession supplies directly with concession vendors and manufacturers to obtain volume rates. Concession supplies are distributed through a national distribution network. The concession distributor supplies and distributes inventory to the theatres, who place orders directly with the vendors to replenish stock. We conduct a weekly inventory of all concession products at each theatre to ensure proper stock levels are maintained for business.

Pre-Feature Screen Advertising

In our domestic markets, our theatres are part of the in-theatre digital network operated by NCM. NCM’s primary activities that impact our theatres include: advertising through its branded “First Look” pre-feature entertainment program, lobby promotions and displays, live and pre-recorded events; including concerts, sporting events and other non-film entertainment programming. We believe that the reach, scope and digital delivery capability of NCM’s network provides an effective platform for national, regional and local advertisers to reach an engaged audience. We receive a monthly theatre access fee for participation in the NCM network. In addition, we are entitled to receive mandatory quarterly distributions of excess cash from NCM. As of March 31, 2013, we had an approximate 16% ownership interest in NCM. See Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.

In certain of our international markets, we outsource our screen advertising to local companies who have established relationships with local advertisers that provide similar benefits as NCM. The terms of our international screen advertising contracts vary by country. In some of these locations, we earn a percentage of the screen advertising revenues collected by our partners and in other locations we are paid a fixed annual fee for access to our screens, while at our other locations, our in-house marketing personnel handle screen advertising. During 2011, we took the screen advertising function in-house in Brazil, which is being handled by a wholly-owned subsidiary Flix Media Publicidade E Entretenimento, Ltda., or Flix Media. Our Flix Media marketing personnel work directly with local advertisers to generate screen advertising.

Conversion to Digital Projection Technology

The motion picture exhibition industry began its conversion to digital projection technology during 2009, the progress of which is discussed below.

Participation in Digital Cinema Implementation Partners

During 2007, we, AMC and Regal entered into a joint venture known as Digital Cinema Implementation Partners LLC, or DCIP, to facilitate the implementation of digital cinema in our U.S. theatres and to establish agreements with major motion picture studios for the financing of digital cinema. Digital cinema developments

 

75


Table of Contents

are managed by DCIP, subject to certain approvals by us, AMC and Regal with each of us having an equal voting interest in DCIP. DCIP’s wholly-owned subsidiary Kasima LLC, or Kasima, executed long-term deployment agreements with all of the major motion picture studios, under which Kasima receives a virtual print fee from such studios for each digital presentation. In accordance with these agreements, the digital projection systems deployed by Kasima comply with the technology and security specifications developed by the Digital Cinema Initiatives studio consortium. Kasima leases digital projection systems to us, AMC and Regal under master lease agreements that have an initial term of 12 years.

On March 10, 2010, we signed a master lease agreement and other related agreements with Kasima. Upon signing these agreements, we contributed cash and the majority of our existing U.S. digital projection systems to DCIP. Subsequently during 2010 and 2011, we sold additional U.S. digital projection systems to DCIP. As of March 31, 2013, we had a 33% voting interest in DCIP and a 24.3% economic interest in DCIP. As of March 31, 2013, 95% of our 3,916 U.S. auditoriums were digital, 3,515 of which are leased from Kasima and 1,981 of which are capable of exhibiting 3-D content.

International Markets

In our international markets, we continue to convert our auditoriums to digital projection technology. The digital projection systems we deploy are generally funded with operating cash flows generated by each international country. As of March 31, 2013, we had 576 digital auditoriums in our international markets, 539 of which are capable of exhibiting 3-D content. Similar to our domestic markets, we expect to install digital projection systems in all of our international auditoriums.

Digital Cinema Distribution Coalition

We are participating in a joint venture with Regal, AMC and certain distributors called Digital Cinema Distribution Coalition, whose goal is to seamlessly distribute all digital content to theatres via satellite. Certain of the related agreements are in negotiation, however, we are currently testing equipment to be used for satellite distribution. The new distribution network will not only change how content is delivered to theatre sites but also enrich alternative product availability, such as live sports, concerts, and opera.

Marketing

In the U.S., we rely on Internet advertising and also newspaper directory film schedules. Radio and television advertising spots are used to promote certain motion pictures and special events. We exhibit previews of coming attractions and films we are currently playing as part of our pre-feature program. We offer patrons access to movie times, the ability to buy and print their tickets at home and purchase gift cards at our website www.cinemark.com. Customers subscribing to our weekly email receive targeted information about current and upcoming films at their preferred Cinemark theatre(s), including details about advanced ticket sales, special events, concerts and live broadcasts; as well as contests, promotions, and exclusive coupons for concession savings. We partner with film distributors to use monthly web contests to drive traffic to our website and to ensure that customers visit often. In addition, we work with all of the film distributors on a regular basis to promote their films with local, regional and national programs that are exclusive to our theatres. These programs may involve customer contests, cross-promotions with the media and third parties and other means to increase patronage for a particular film showing at one of our theatres. We also have smart phone and tablet applications that allow patrons to find theatres, check showtimes and purchase tickets.

Internationally, we exhibit upcoming and current film previews on-screen, partner with film distributors for certain promotions and advertise our new locations through various forms of media and events. We partner with large multi-national corporations in the large metropolitan areas in which we have theatres to promote our brand and image as well as increase attendance levels at our theatres. Our customers are encouraged to register on our website to receive weekly information by email for showtime information, invitations to special screenings,

Table of Contents

sponsored events and promotional information. In addition, our customers can request to receive showtime information on their cell phones. We also have loyalty programs in some of our international markets that allow customers to pay a nominal fee for a membership card that provides them with certain admissions and concession discounts. In addition, we have introduced an iPhone application in Brazil. The application allows consumers to check showtimes and purchase tickets for our Brazil theatres.

Our domestic and international marketing departments also focus on maximizing ancillary revenue, which includes the sale of our gift cards and our SuperSaver discount tickets. We market these programs to such business representatives as realtors, human resource managers, incentive program managers and hospital and pharmaceutical personnel. Gift cards can be purchased for certain of our locations at our theatres or online through our website, www.cinemark.com. SuperSavers are also sold online at www.cinemark.com or via phone, fax or email by our local corporate offices and are also available at certain retailers in the U.S.

We recently created a new offering to our patrons called “CineMode”. CineMode is an exclusive feature we offer with our smart phone and tablet applications that allows patrons the opportunity to earn rewards while being courteous during the show. Our innovative technology was designed to address texting and other cell phone distractions, which is the number one complaint of movie-goers. While in CineMode, the smart phone screen is automatically dimmed and patrons are prompted to silence their volume. If CineMode is enabled for the duration of the movie, patrons are rewarded with exclusive digital rewards and offers that can be used at their next visit to Cinemark. CineMode facilitates contact with our patrons and this initiative provides an opportunity for us to further improve our relationships with the studios and our vendors via couponing and promotions, such as discounted digital downloads. To date, more than two million patrons have already downloaded CineMode.

Online and Mobile Sales

Our patrons may purchase advance tickets for all of our domestic screens and a majority of our international screens by accessing our corporate website at www.cinemark.com. Advance tickets may also be purchased for our domestic screens at www.fandango.com. Our mobile phone and tablet applications also offer patrons the ability to purchase tickets. Our Internet initiatives help improve customer satisfaction, allowing patrons who purchase tickets over the Internet to bypass lines at the box office by printing their tickets at home, picking up their tickets at kiosks located at the theatre, or scanning a barcode confirmation from their mobile device at the usher stand.

Point of Sale Systems

We have developed our own proprietary point of sale system to enhance our ability to maximize revenues, control costs and efficiently manage operations. The system is currently installed in all of our U.S. theatres. The point of sale system provides corporate management with real-time admissions and concession revenues data and reports to allow for timely changes to movie schedules, including extending film runs, increasing the number of screens on which successful movies are being played, or substituting films when gross receipts do not meet expectations. Real-time seating, as well as reserved seating, and box office information is available to box office personnel, preventing overselling of a particular film and providing faster and more accurate responses to customer inquiries regarding showtimes and available seating. The system tracks concession sales by product, provides in-theatre inventory reports for efficient inventory management and control, offers numerous ticket pricing options, connects with digital concession signage for real-time pricing modifications, integrates Internet ticket sales and processes credit card transactions. Barcode scanners, pole displays, touch screens, credit card readers and other equipment are integrated with the system to enhance its functionality and provide print-at-home and mobile ticketing. In our international locations, we currently use other point of sale systems that have been developed by third parties, which have been certified as compliant with applicable governmental regulations and provide generally the same capabilities as our proprietary point of sale system.

Competition

We are one of the leaders in the motion picture exhibition industry. We compete against local, regional, national and international exhibitors with respect to attracting patrons, licensing films and developing new theatre sites. Our primary domestic competitors include Regal, AMC and Carmike Cinemas, Inc. and our primary international competitors, which vary by country, include Cinepolis, Cinemex and National Amusements.

We are the sole exhibitor in approximately 91% of the 253 film zones in which our first run U.S. theatres operate. In film zones where there is no direct competition from other theatres, we select those films that we believe will be the most successful from those offered to us by film distributors. Where there is competition, the distributor allocates their movies generally based on demographics, the conditions, capacity and grossing potential of each theatre, and licensing terms. Of the 1,343 screens we operate outside of the U.S., approximately 80% of those screens have no direct competition from other theatres. In areas where we face direct competition, our success in attracting patrons depends on location, theatre capacity, quality of projection and sound equipment, film showtime availability, customer service quality, and ticket prices.

We compete for new theatre sites with other movie theatre exhibitors as well as other entertainment venues. Securing a potential site depends upon factors such as committed investment and resources, theatre design and capacity, revenue and patron potential, and financial stability.

We also face competition from a number of other motion picture exhibition delivery systems, such as digital downloads, DVDs, network and syndicated television, video on-demand, pay-per-view television and the Internet. We also face competition from other forms of entertainment competing for the public’s leisure time and disposable income, such as concerts, theme parks and sporting events.

Seasonality

Our revenues have historically been seasonal, coinciding with the timing of releases of motion pictures by the major distributors. Generally, the most successful motion pictures have been released during the summer, extending from May to mid-August, and during the holiday season, extending from early November through year-end. The unexpected emergence of a hit film during other periods can alter this seasonality trend. The timing of such film releases can have a significant effect on our results of operations, and the results of one quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for the next quarter or for the same period in the following year.

Corporate Operations

Our corporate headquarters is located in Plano, Texas. Personnel at our corporate headquarters provide oversight for our domestic and international theatres. Personnel at our corporate headquarters include our executive team and department heads in charge of film licensing, food and beverage, theatre operations, theatre construction and maintenance, real estate, human resources, marketing, legal, finance and accounting, audit and information systems support. Our U.S. operations are divided into sixteen regions, primarily organized geographically, each of which is headed by a region leader. We have eight regional offices in Latin America responsible for the local management of theatres in 13 individual countries (Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Guatemala are operated out of one Central American regional office). Each regional office is headed by a general manager and includes personnel in film licensing, marketing, human resources, information systems, operations and accounting. We have a chief financial officer in Brazil, Mexico and Argentina, which are our three largest international markets. The regional offices are staffed with experienced personnel from the region to mitigate cultural and operational barriers.

Employees

We have approximately 13,500 employees in the U.S., approximately 10% of whom are full time employees and 90% of whom are part time employees. We have approximately 9,000 employees in our international

 

78


Table of Contents

markets, approximately 58% of whom are full time employees and approximately 42% of whom are part time employees. Some of our international locations are subject to union regulations. We regard our relations with our employees to be satisfactory.

Regulations

The distribution of motion pictures is largely regulated by federal and state antitrust laws and has been the subject of numerous antitrust cases. The manner in which we can license films from certain major film distributors is subject to consent decrees resulting from these cases. Consent decrees bind certain major film distributors and require the films of such distributors to be offered and licensed to exhibitors, including us, on a theatre-by-theatre and film-by-film basis. Consequently, exhibitors cannot enter into long-term arrangements with major distributors, but must negotiate for licenses on a theatre-by-theatre and film-by-film basis.

We are subject to various general regulations applicable to our operations including the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or the ADA. We develop new theatres to be accessible to the disabled and we believe we are substantially compliant with current regulations relating to accommodating the disabled. Although we believe that our theatres comply with the ADA, we have been a party to lawsuits which claim that our handicapped seating arrangements do not comply with the ADA or that we are required to provide closed captioning for patrons who are deaf or are severely hearing impaired and descriptive devices for patrons who are blind.

Our theatre operations are also subject to federal, state and local laws governing such matters as wages, working conditions, citizenship, health and sanitation requirements and various business licensing and permitting.

Financial Information About Geographic Areas

We currently have operations in the U.S., Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Guatemala, which are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. See Note 21 to the consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for segment information and financial information by geographic area.

We periodically review the profitability of each of our theatres, particularly those whose lease terms are nearing expiration, to determine whether to continue its operations.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are involved in other various legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of our business operations, such as personal injury claims, employment matters, landlord-tenant disputes, patent claims and contractual disputes, some of which are covered by insurance or by indemnification from vendors. We believe our potential liability, with respect to these types of proceedings currently pending, is not material, individually or in the aggregate, to our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Composition of the Board of Directors

Our board of directors consists of three members. The individuals currently serving on the board are Lee Roy Mitchell, Tim Warner and Robert Copple. The Chairman of the Board is Lee Roy Mitchell. Our board of directors is elected annually, and each director holds office for a one-year term. Our directors receive no additional compensation for their service as directors.

The Company does not have a standing audit committee, nominating and corporate governance committee or compensation committee; however, such functions are conducted by committees of the Cinemark Holdings board of directors, or the Holdings Board.

Cinemark Holdings Directors

The Holdings Board is currently comprised of ten members. Cinemark Holdings’ Second Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation provides that the Holdings Board consists of three classes of directors, designated as Class I, Class II and Class III, and the members of each class are elected to serve a three-year term, with the terms of office of each class ending in successive years. On April 9, 2007, immediately prior to Cinemark Holdings’ initial public offering, it entered into a director nomination agreement, or the Director Nomination Agreement, with certain stockholders permitting those certain stockholders to designate persons for appointment or nomination for election to the Holdings Board. Pursuant to the Director Nomination Agreement, Madison Dearborn Capital Partners IV, L.P. or MDCP, had the right to designate five nominees to the Holdings Board, the Mitchell Investors (as defined in the Director Nomination Agreement) have the right to designate two nominees to the Holdings Board, Syufy Enterprises, LP, or Syufy Enterprises, had the right to designate one nominee to the Holdings Board and the Quadrangle Investors (as defined in the Director Nomination Agreement) had the right to designate one nominee to the Holdings Board. Currently, only the Mitchell Investors have a right to designate two nominees to the Holdings Board pursuant to the Director Nomination Agreement and Mr. Lee Roy Mitchell and Mr. Carlos Sepulveda are currently the directors nominated by the Mitchell Investors. MDCP, Syufy Enterprises and Quadrangle Investors no longer have any beneficial ownership in Cinemark Holdings’ common stock and therefore no nominees to the Holdings Board. However, Mr. Benjamin Chereskin and Mr. Vahe Dombalagian (former nominees of MDCP), Mr. Peter Ezersky (former nominee of Quadrangle Investors) and Mr. Ray Syufy (former nominee of Syufy Enterprises) are continuing as directors subject to their re-election upon the expiry of their terms.

Director Independence

  2) has received, or has an immediate family member who has received, during any 12 month period within the last 3 years, more than $120,000 in direct compensation from Cinemark Holdings (other than director and committee fees and pension or other forms of deferred compensation for prior service, provided such compensation is not contingent in any way on continued service);

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

We do not have a compensation committee. The Compensation Committee of the Holdings Board, which we refer to as the Compensation Committee, is responsible for establishing, implementing and monitoring the Company’s executive compensation program, including the compensation of our Chairman of the Board (Lee Roy Mitchell), Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Operating Officer (Tim Warner), Chief Financial Officer (Robert Copple), President of Cinemark International, L.L.C. (Valmir Fernandes) and Senior Vice President and General Counsel (Michael Cavalier). We refer to these executives as our named executive officers and they are the Company’s top five most highly compensated officers. Generally, the types of compensation and benefits provided to our named executive officers are similar to those provided to other officers of the Company. These executives are also the named executive officers and the top five most highly compensated officers of Cinemark Holdings.

The Compensation Discussion and Analysis describes Cinemark Holdings’ executive compensation program. In 2012, the named executive officers were the following:

 

  1. Lee Roy Mitchell, Chairman of the Board and founder of Cinemark Holdings, with the Company since its inception in 1987;

 

  2. Alan W. Stock, Chief Executive Officer, retired effective February 15, 2012, after 26 years of service to the Company;

 

  3. Tim Warner, Chief Executive Officer (effective February 15, 2012), President and Chief Operating Officer, with the Company for 17 years;

 

  4. Robert Copple, Chief Financial Officer, Executive Vice President, Treasurer and Assistant Secretary, with the Company for 17 years;

 

  5. Valmir Fernandes, President of Cinemark International, L.L.C. with the Company for 16 years; and

 

  6. Michael Cavalier, Senior Vice-President, General Counsel and Secretary, with the Company for 20 years.

In this prospectus, all members of management, including the named executive officers, are referred to as “executive officers.”

Executive Summary

The goal of our executive compensation program is to align the executives’ and stockholders’ long-term interests. Our executive compensation program is structured to attract, motivate, reward and retain high caliber talent who will direct the Company to increase our long term competitive advantage and sustainable profitability, thereby contributing to the value of our stockholders’ investment. We use traditional compensation elements of annual base salary, annual cash incentives, long-term incentives, and employee benefits to deliver competitive and performance-based compensation. All our pay decisions for the executive officers are made solely by the Compensation Committee with input from the Chief Executive Officer (other than for himself). In evaluating the appropriateness of pay of the named executive officers, in addition to individual roles and responsibilities, the Compensation Committee takes into consideration compensation data for similarly placed executives in companies within our compensation peer group.

Stockholder Support of Executive Compensation

At the annual meeting of stockholders of Cinemark Holdings held on May 10, 2012, or the 2012 Annual Meeting, approximately 99% of the stockholders who voted at the 2012 Annual Meeting either in person or via

 

86


Table of Contents

proxy supported Cinemark Holdings’ executive compensation program. Hence, the Compensation Committee did not make any structural change to our executive compensation program in 2012.

Objectives of Executive Compensation

The objectives of our executive compensation program are as follows:

 

   

Motivate our executives to:

 

   

Achieve day-to-day operational efficiency and excellence;

 

   

Minimize incentives for imprudent risk taking in business practices;

 

   

Meet short-term strategic and financial goals;

 

   

Deliver on long-term business strategies that would enhance stockholder value through continued growth and competitiveness; and

 

   

Value and reward performance both over the short-term as well as the long-term to enable us to retain the executive talent.

Accordingly, our compensation program is structured to retain, attract and develop the best people and to link compensation to performance, by following the below principles:

 

   

Setting a level of compensation for each position that is competitive based on the skill and knowledge of the individual;

 

   

Recognizing the effort, leadership and responsibility needed to perform the job successfully and to achieve the performance goals; and

 

   

Using a mix of fixed and variable pay components with different time horizons and payout forms to reward and motivate achievements of short-term and long-term goals;

The Process of Setting Executive Compensation

How Do We Set Executive Compensation?

Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is responsible for:

 

   

establishing, evaluating and overseeing Cinemark Holdings’ compensation program;

 

   

determining the compensation of each of the named executive officers;

 

   

determining the compensation of the other executive officers and other senior officers as it deems appropriate;

 

   

establishing certain business criteria and performance targets relevant to the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers and evaluating their performance against such business criteria and performance targets; and

 

   

approving the grant of all equity and non-equity based compensation.

The Compensation Committee establishes the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer without management input, but may be assisted in this determination by outside compensation consultants. In establishing the compensation of the named executive officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer) and the other executive officers, the Compensation Committee may consider the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer and input received from the compensation consultants.

The Compensation Committee determines the level of annual cash incentive compensation and long-term equity incentive compensation during the first quarter of a fiscal year. The Compensation Committee advises the

 

87


Table of Contents

Holdings Board of its determination prior to implementation of such compensation of the named executive officers and other executive officers as it deems appropriate. While the Compensation Committee may consider input provided by the Holdings Board, the decisions regarding annual cash incentive compensation and long-term equity incentive compensation are made solely by the Compensation Committee.

Compensation Consultant. The Compensation Committee Charter authorizes the Compensation Committee to retain one or more compensation consultants to assist in the evaluation of executive compensation. Since 2007, the Compensation Committee has authorized the Company management to engage the outside compensation consultant, Longnecker & Associates, or L&A, to review executive compensation annually and make recommendations regarding Cinemark Holdings’ executive compensation program.

Pursuant to the rules of the Commission and the NYSE, the Holdings Board has determined that L&A is independent of management and the Compensation Committee. L&A provides to the Compensation Committee compensation data (including data provided by management) based upon review of compensation practices at appropriate peer companies and market survey. The Compensation Committee reviews and discusses the data with L&A and makes determinations of compensation levels of the executive officers. L&A does not provide any other services to the Company and works with Cinemark Holdings’ management only on matters for which the Compensation Committee is responsible. The consultant was re-engaged by management to make recommendations regarding the 2012 compensation levels of the named executive officers.

Role of Chief Executive Officer and Management. As part of our annual budget and performance review, the Chief Executive Officer conducts a review of the aggregate level of our executive compensation. The review considers financial and non- financial criteria to measure our performance against internal goals and the performance of our competitors in the theatrical exhibition industry. Annually, the Chief Executive Officer provides recommendations to the Compensation Committee for specific levels of annual base salary, target levels for annual performance-based cash incentive payments and long-term equity based compensation of the executive officers (other than for himself). Management also provides to the Compensation Committee data related to the competitive market for executives, compensation levels and compensation practices of companies in the theatrical exhibition industry and companies of comparable size and financial performance with whom we may compete for talent. All decisions with regards to executive compensation are made solely by the Compensation Committee.

Design of the Executive Compensation Program

The principal elements of our executive compensation are as follows:

 

   

annual base salaries;

 

   

annual performance-based cash incentive compensation or annual cash bonus; and

 

   

equity-based incentive compensation (time-based and performance-based awards).

Generally, total compensation of all executive officers is distributed between the three elements. We believe this distribution, between fixed and variable components, maintains a competitive compensation program while appropriately mitigating risk. Annual base salary and time-based equity awards are the fixed components of the total compensation of an executive as such components are subject only to the continued employment of the executive. Cash bonus and performance-based equity awards are the variable components as the amounts of such compensation are subject to Company performance over a one- and three- year period, respectively.

Base Salary

The annual base salary represents minimum payment for a satisfactory level of individual performance for the duration of employment with the Company. The Compensation Committee seeks to keep annual base salary

Table of Contents

competitive to help attract and retain qualified executives. Annual base salaries for the executive officers are determined by the Compensation Committee based on a variety of factors including:

 

   

nature and responsibility of the position;

 

   

expertise of the individual executive;

 

   

competitiveness of the market for the executive’s services;

 

   

potential for driving the Company’s success in the future;

 

   

peer compensation data;

 

   

the performance reviews and recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer (except in the case of his own compensation); and

 

   

other judgmental factors deemed relevant by the Compensation Committee such as recommendations of the compensation consultant.

The Compensation Committee has not adopted any formula with specific weightings assigned to any of the factors above.

As of December 31, 2012, Cinemark Holdings had employment agreements with certain executive officers—Messrs. Mitchell, Warner, Copple, Cavalier, Fernandes, Bunnell and Carmony. Under the employment agreements, the annual base salaries are subject to annual review by the Compensation Committee and can be increased but not decreased.

The average increase in the annual base salaries of the executive officers, other than the named executive officers, in 2012 was approximately 4%.

See Summary Compensation Table for 2012 below for the annual base salaries paid to the named executive officers in 2012.

Cash Incentive Compensation

At the annual meeting of stockholders of Cinemark Holdings held on May 15, 2008, or the 2008 Annual Meeting, the stockholders approved the performance-based cash incentive compensation pursuant to the Cinemark Holdings, Inc. Performance Bonus Plan, or the Bonus Plan. In setting total compensation, the Compensation Committee considers annual cash incentives based on Cinemark Holdings’ annual performance to be an important tool in motivating and rewarding the performance of the participants to the Bonus Plan. The objective of the Bonus Plan is to make annual cash bonus payments to individuals based on the achievement of certain pre-established performance metrics set as goals for Cinemark Holdings to achieve during the fiscal year that would contribute to the growth, profitability and increased value of Cinemark Holdings. However, while the annual cash bonus provides an additional compensation opportunity it also subjects the Bonus Plan participant to the financial risks of Cinemark Holdings. Consequently, annual cash bonus percentages are commensurate with the participant’s position and potential impact on Cinemark Holdings’ performance. As such, the named executive officers and certain other executive officers have a higher target annual cash bonus opportunity as compared to other participants. The Compensation Committee has determined that the positions of the Chairman of the Board and that of the Chief Executive Officer have the greatest management and oversight responsibilities in directing Cinemark Holdings’ growth. Consequently, the Compensation Committee deems it appropriate to incentivize the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer by apportioning a higher percentage of their annual base salary as the target annual cash bonus opportunity as compared to the other named executive officers.

In February 2012, upon the change in the position of the Chief Executive Officer, the Holdings Board recognized the additional leadership role expected of Mr. Copple upon the change in the position of the Chief

 

89


Table of Contents

Executive Officer. Based upon that determination, effective February 15, 2012, the Compensation Committee raised the target annual cash bonus opportunity of Mr. Copple from 75% to 100% of his annual base salary.

The following steps are performed annually for the Bonus Plan:

(1) Setting a Target Cash Bonus. During the first quarter of the fiscal year, the Compensation Committee approves the threshold, target and maximum level of annual cash bonus for the participants to the Bonus Plan. The target annual cash bonus amount is generally set at a percentage of the participant’s annual base salary although the Compensation Committee may take into account other factors deemed relevant, such as the individual’s performance and contributions outside of the quantitative targets and recommendations from the Chief Executive Officer (except for target annual cash bonus amounts for himself).

The bonus opportunities of the named executive officers for the 2012 fiscal year were as follows:

Each participant under the Bonus Plan is entitled to receive a ratable portion of his target annual cash bonus based upon Cinemark Holdings’ level of achievement of the performance metric. Thus, the actual amount of annual cash bonuses paid, if any, may result in an annual cash bonus that is greater or less than the stated target (and could be zero) depending on whether, and to what extent, the applicable performance and other conditions are satisfied.

Under the Bonus Plan, the maximum annual cash bonus amount of a named executive officer is capped at 200% of such named executive officer’s annual base salary at the time the target annual cash bonus is determined.

(2) Setting the Performance Target. During the first quarter of each fiscal year, the Compensation Committee establishes the performance target of Cinemark Holdings for the year. Performance target may include factors, by way of example but not limitation, any or all of the following: revenue; net sales; operating income; earnings before all or any of interest, taxes, depreciation and/or amortization (“EBIT”, “EBITA”, or “EBITDA”); Adjusted EBITDA; Adjusted EBITDA Margin; cash flow; working capital and components thereof; return on equity or average stockholder’s equity; return on assets; market share; sales (net or gross) measured by product line, territory, customer(s), or other category; stock price; earnings per share; earnings from continuing operations; net worth; credit rating; levels of expense, cost or liability by category, operating unit or any other delineation; any increase or decrease of one or more of the foregoing over a specified period; or implementation or completion of critical projects. With respect to certain participants who are not named executive officers, these targets may also include such objective or subjective performance goals as the Compensation Committee may, from time to time, establish.

The Adjusted EBITDA performance levels for purposes of the Bonus Plan for 2012, before payment of annual cash bonuses, was set by the Compensation Committee in March 2012 as follows:

 

Adjusted

Amounts
(in millions)
 

Minimum

   $ 491.0   

Target

   $ 545.6   

Maximum

Table of Contents

The Adjusted EBITDA target of $545.6 million was set approximately 5% higher than the Adjusted EBITDA achieved by Cinemark Holdings during the 2011 fiscal year. The Adjusted EBITDA achieved by Cinemark Holdings in 2012 for purposes of the Bonus Plan was $596.8 million. The reported Adjusted EBITDA was $589.2 million after adjustment for payment of annual cash bonuses of $7.6 million (Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures are provided in Note 23 on page F-46 of the Cinemark Holdings 2012 Form 10-K.)

(3) Measuring Performance. Prior to making any payments under the Bonus Plan, the Compensation Committee will certify whether the applicable performance factors were attained. In reaching its conclusions, the Compensation Committee will make, if needed, certain adjustments as specified in the Bonus Plan. Such adjustments include, but are not limited to, factors such as changes in accounting principles and extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring events that were not included in the operating budget for the performance period (such as the disposition of a theatre or theatres or the cessation of operation of a theatre as a result of a natural disaster). The Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, at any time establish (and, once established, rescind, waive or amend) additional conditions and terms of payment of the annual cash bonus (including, but not limited to, the achievement of other financial, strategic or individual goals, which may be objective or subjective) as it may deem desirable in carrying out the purposes of the Bonus Plan and may take into account such other factors as it deems appropriate in administering any aspect of the Bonus Plan, including to reduce the amount of the annual cash bonus at any time prior to payment based on such criteria as it shall determine, including but not limited to individual merit and the attainment of specified levels of one or any combination of the performance factors. However, the Compensation Committee cannot adjust upwards the cash incentive compensation payable to a named executive officer or waive the achievement of a performance target requirement for a named executive officer except in the case of the death or disability of the executive or a change-in-control of Cinemark Holdings. In February 2013, the Compensation Committee certified, based upon the Adjusted EBITDA level achieved by Cinemark Holdings in 2012, that the annual cash bonus payment for the 2012 fiscal year is 133.33% of the target annual cash bonus opportunity of each participant to the Bonus Plan.

See Summary Compensation Table for 2012 below for the actual annual cash bonuses paid to the named executive officers for 2012.

Equity Incentive Compensation

At the 2008 Annual Meeting, Cinemark Holdings’ stockholders approved the Amended and Restated Cinemark Holdings, Inc. 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan, or the Restated Incentive Plan, pursuant to which the Compensation Committee annually awards time-based and performance-based equity compensation. Time-based equity compensation enables us to attract and retain highly qualified executive officers as leaders to ensure our continued success. Long-term performance-based equity compensation encourages the Company’s long-term growth and aligns the executive’s interests with the interests of our stockholders.

Pursuant to the Restated Incentive Plan, restricted stock and performance awards (in the form of restricted stock units) have been granted annually to eligible employees, including the named executive officers. Typically, grants to all eligible employees, including the named executive officers, are made on the same day (within the first 90 days of the fiscal quarter).

No stock options have been granted by Cinemark Holdings since 2004. The Compensation Committee has concluded that restricted stock and performance awards are a superior vehicle of incentive compensation than stock options by allowing our executives to benefit from our dividend policy.

Restricted Stock. Generally, restricted stock is awarded to eligible employees annually as a retention incentive. Periodic awards of restricted stock can also be made at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and such periodic awards have been made in certain limited instances to attract executive talent. Grants of restricted stock are generally based upon a percentage of the eligible employee’s annual base salary. However, such grants could be subject to some adjustment based on the individual employee’s performance during the

previous fiscal year. The Chief Executive Officer, given his leadership position, role in Company growth and risk undertaking in decision-making, is awarded restricted stock at a higher percentage of annual base salary compared to the other named executive officers and executive officers. All participants to the Restated Incentive Plan are eligible to receive restricted stock. Restricted stock granted under the Restated Incentive Plan typically vests 50% on each of the second and fourth anniversaries of the grant date subject to continuous employment through the vest dates. As disclosed earlier in this prospectus, the restricted stock granted to Mr. Warner in 2012 vests in equal amounts over a three year vest period from March 2013 to March 2015. Restricted stock awards granted to Mr. Warner in years prior to 2012 shall remain subject to the four year vesting similar to that of other executive officers.

Recipients of restricted stock awards are permitted to:

(i) receive dividends on the restricted stock to the extent dividends are paid by Cinemark Holdings on shares of its common stock, and

(ii) to vote such common stock during the restriction period.

Performance Awards. Performance awards entitle recipients to vest in or acquire shares of Cinemark Holdings’ common stock upon the attainment of specified performance goals over the performance period established by the Compensation Committee. Only the named executive officers and certain executive officers who have a significant impact on Cinemark Holdings’ long-term performance are eligible to receive performance awards.

Performance awards can be granted in the form of restricted stock or restricted stock units. The performance goals are based on one or more pre-established objective criteria that specify the number of shares of Cinemark Holdings’ common stock under the performance award that will be issued (if performance award is in the form of restricted stock unit) or shall vest (if performance award is in the form of restricted stock) if the performance goal is attained. During the first quarter of a fiscal year, the Compensation Committee approves the performance goal for the year, common stock of Cinemark Holdings received upon attainment of the performance goals under a restricted stock unit award may be subject to additional time-based vesting conditions. Any dividends that are attributable to the underlying common stock of Cinemark Holdings relating to a restricted stock unit based performance award will be paid to the recipient when the established vesting conditions are satisfied.

Since 2008, the performance goal has been based on an implied equity value concept that determines an internal rate of return, or IRR, during the performance period. The implied equity value is based on a formula utilizing a multiple of Adjusted EBITDA (subject to certain specified adjustments). Each performance target underlying the performance awards has a threshold, target and maximum level of payment opportunity, with the maximum payment opportunity equal to 150% of the individual’s target opportunity based upon the IRR during the performance period. The targets for the current fiscal year are established in writing by the Compensation Committee in the first quarter of the fiscal year. The number of shares of Cinemark Holdings’ common stock an executive may receive upon the attainment of a performance goal cannot be determined at the date of grant because the payment of such compensation is contingent upon attainment of the IRR and is further subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee. If at the end of the performance period the Compensation Committee determines that the performance target has been met, the shares of Cinemark Holdings’ common stock subject to each performance award shall be further subject to a one year time-based vesting restriction contingent upon the employee’s continued service.

Table of Contents

On March 8, 2012, the performance awards were granted in the form of restricted stock units, or the 2012 RSU Award. The following table sets forth the various IRR percentages and the number of corresponding restricted stock units underlying the performance awards that can be earned by each eligible participant:

 

Level

  

IRR

  

Performance Shares Issuable

Threshold

   IRR equal to 8.5% but less than 10.5%    33 1/3% of the maximum performance shares issuable

Target

   IRR equal to 10.5% but less than 12.5%    66% 2/3% of the maximum performance shares issuable

Maximum

   IRR equal to or greater than 12.5%    100% of the maximum performance shares issuable

The 2012 RSU Award shall vest on a prorated basis according to the IRR achieved by Cinemark Holdings during the performance period which is from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2014. For example, if Cinemark Holdings achieves an IRR equal to 11.5%, the number of restricted stock units that shall vest will be greater than the target but less than the maximum number that would have vested had Cinemark Holdings achieved the highest IRR. Similar to performance awards of previous years, the 2012 RSU Award is subject to a further time-based vesting restriction of one year after 2014 and shall vest upon the employee’s continued service through March 2016.

See Grants of Plan Based Awards in 2012 below for further detail regarding the equity awards granted to the named executive officers in 2012.

In February 2013, the Compensation Committee certified that Cinemark Holdings had achieved the highest level of IRR for the performance period from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2012. Consequently, the common stock of Cinemark Holdings underlying the performance awards (in the form of restricted stock units) granted to the named executive officers in March 2010 shall be issued in the maximum amounts subject to continued employment of the named executive officer until March 2014. See Outstanding Equity Awards at December 31, 2012 below for the number of performance awards that will vest for each named executive officer.

Perquisites

With limited exceptions, the Compensation Committee’s policy is to provide benefits and perquisites to our named executive officers that are substantially the same as those offered to our other employees at or above the level of vice president. The benefits and perquisites that may be available in addition to those available to our other employees include life insurance premiums and long-term disability insurance.

401(k) Plan

We sponsor a defined contribution savings plan, or the 401(k) Plan, whereby certain employees may elect to contribute, in whole percentages between 1% and 50% of such employee’s compensation, provided no employee’s elective contribution shall exceed the amount permitted under Section 402(g) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, or the Code, ($17,000 for 2012 and $16,500 for 2011 and 2010). In 2012, participants over the age of 50 could contribute an additional $5,500.

We may make an annual discretionary matching contribution up to a maximum of 6% of the employee’s annual contribution to the 401(k) Plan. In 2012, our annual discretionary matching contribution was 100% up to 3% and 75% for the remaining 3% of the employee’s contribution. Our discretionary matching contributions immediately vest.

Competitive Positioning

The Compensation Committee aims to competitively align executive compensation. The Compensation Committee believes that our success depends upon our ability to successfully motivate, attract and retain the highest caliber and experienced executive talent who are critical to the execution of our business plans, strategies and overall corporate long-term success. In order to gauge the reasonableness and competitiveness of our executive compensation as compared to the market, the Compensation Committee considers compensation data (total as well as individual components of compensation i.e. annual base salary, targeted annual incentive and long-term incentive opportunities) for similarly-situated executives at a comparison group of companies (referred to as the “compensation peer group”) with whom we compete for executive level talent. The Compensation Committee, with input from management and L&A, annually reviews the companies included within our compensation peer group and may add or eliminate companies as determined appropriate.

For purposes of 2012 executive compensation, the Compensation Committee deemed it appropriate to assess compensation competitiveness with respect to a group of companies broader than the current performance peer group. The selection criteria the Compensation Committee utilized to identify companies for the 2012 compensation peer group was a combination of various factors such as revenue size, asset size, market capitalization, business models that are particularly relevant to Cinemark’ s growth in the past five years and its continued strategic expansion in the international markets, which is considered in the industry to be an increasingly important component of the overall box office revenues. Based upon that assessment the following companies within the leisure, hospitality and entertainment services industry comprised our compensation peer group for 2012:

 

Carmike Cinemas, Inc.    Netflix, Inc.
Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc.    Panera Bread Co.
DreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc.    Regal Entertainment Group
IMAX Corporation    Sirius XM Radio Inc.
Lion Gate Entertainment Corp.    Wynn Resorts Ltd.

L&A compiled compensation data for the peer group from a variety of sources, including proxy statements and other publicly filed documents. L&A also provided published survey compensation data from multiple sources, including the following surveys:

Economic Research Institute, Mercer, Inc., Kenexa and Towers Watson. For each survey, L&A adjusted the data to appropriately reflect companies of a similar size to Cinemark Holdings.

The following provides an overview of the competitive positioning of the compensation of Cinemark Holdings’ named executive officers as compared to the competitive market:

 

   

Overall, annual base salaries of the Company’s top five executives are aligned below the market 50th percentile;

 

   

In terms of targeted cash compensation (annual base salary + targeted annual cash incentive), the top five executives are aligned between the market 25th and 50th percentiles;

 

   

In terms of grant date fair value of long-term incentives, the top five executives are aligned between the market 25th and 50th percentiles;

 

   

Overall, our executive team’s total compensation packages (annual base salary + targeted annual cash incentive + long-term incentives) are aligned between the market 25th and 50th percentiles.

Tax Considerations

The Compensation Committee considers the tax effects to Cinemark Holdings when making executive compensation decisions and has a practice of delivering compensation in a tax-efficient manner whenever

Table of Contents

reasonable. However, the priority of the Compensation Committee is to provide competitive compensation that would serve the objectives of retention, reward and motivation in the best possible mix of the various compensation components in a particular year. Therefore, in certain years some compensation paid to the named executive officers may not be deductible by Cinemark Holdings due to the limitations of Section 162(m) of the Code.

Section 162(m) provides that the amount of compensation that we may deduct each year for our “covered employees”—the Chief Executive Officer and each of the three most highly paid officers (other than our Chief Financial Officer)—is $1.0 million. Elements of compensation which qualify as “performance-based compensation” are deductible even if in excess of this $1.0 million limit.

In structuring the compensation programs that apply to the covered employees, we considered the requirements and consequences of Section 162(m) of the Code. We designed several elements of our overall compensation program in the form of performance-based compensation. The performance awards (in the form of restricted stock units) are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation and shall therefore be fully tax deductible. Similarly, annual cash bonuses paid pursuant to the Bonus Plan are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation.

In addition to annual cash bonuses and performance awards, Cinemark Holdings has also granted, and may continue to grant, time-based restricted stock awards to covered employees that are not intended to be performance-based compensation and that will count against the $ 1.0 million compensation deduction limit. During 2012, the covered employees, primarily due to the substantial appreciation in the value of Cinemark Holdings’ common stock, recognized compensation in excess of $1.0 million upon vesting of the restricted stock granted in 2008 and 2010 that was not performance-based and, in part, is not deductible by Cinemark Holdings under Section 162(m) of the Code.

While the Compensation Committee has taken into account the potential application of Section 162(m) of the Code on compensation decisions and Cinemark Holdings generally seeks to ensure the deductibility of the incentive compensation paid to the covered employees, the Compensation Committee intends to retain the flexibility necessary to continue the competitive pay practices of Cinemark Holdings. Therefore, not all incentive compensation awards may be fully deductible by Cinemark Holdings. In addition, there may be ambiguities regarding how the conditions to qualify as “performance-based” compensation will be interpreted and administered under the income tax regulations, so that amounts that Cinemark Holdings intends or expects to qualify as deductible may not so qualify. Accordingly, there is no certainty that all elements of compensation discussed in this prospectus will in fact be deductible.

Summary of Agreements with our Named Executive Officers

We have employment agreements with our named executive officers and certain other executive officers. Consistent with our compensation philosophy, Cinemark Holdings entered into the employment agreements to more closely align the compensation of certain executive officers with market competitive compensation.

Effective February 15, 2012, upon his retirement as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, Mr. Stock’s employment agreement dated June 16, 2008 was terminated. No further payments are payable by us to Mr. Stock under the employment agreement. However, post-termination obligations of Cinemark Holdings and Mr. Stock (other than compensation payments) shall remain in effect under the employment agreement.

Compensation Risk Assessment

The Compensation Committee reviews, approves and certifies the design, goals and payouts under the Bonus Plan and the Restated Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee monitors whether Cinemark Holdings’ compensation programs for executives and employees encourage unnecessary or excessive risk taking. Upon such consideration, the Compensation Committee has concluded that Cinemark Holdings’ compensation programs do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. Below are some of the highlights of Cinemark Holdings’ compensation program that mitigate risks associated with compensation:

 

   

Cinemark Holdings’ performance metrics are established within the first 90 days of the fiscal year;

 

   

A mix of cash and equity awards with emphasis on equity;

 

   

Annual cash incentive tied to Company’s overall annual performance and measured against a pre- established objective business criteria;

 

   

Equity compensation split between long-term and short-term, balancing retention and motivation with long-term Company performance;

 

   

Equity compensation vesting is multi-year time-based and performance-based (with overlapping performance periods);

 

   

The Compensation Committee has discretion to reduce but may not adjust upward or waive achievement of performance targets for the annual cash incentive award;

 

   

The Bonus Plan caps the annual cash incentive award payouts at 200% of a named executive officer’s annual base salary and subject to approval by Cinemark Holdings’ stockholders at the annual meeting of stockholders to be held on May 23, 2013, will be capped at the lesser of 200% of annual base salary or $3.0 million;

 

   

Certain hedging transactions by named executive officers are prohibited;

 

   

Double trigger for involuntary termination of employment upon change-in-control; and

 

   

No change-in-control provision in Mr. Mitchell’s employment agreement.

(1) The salary reported for Mr. Stock is the salary paid to him from January 1, 2012 to February 15, 2012, based on his salary for 2012 which was set at $646,522 by the Compensation Committee.

Effective February 15, 2012, Mr. Warner’s salary was increased from $473,744 to the reported amount upon his appointment as the new Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

Effective February 15, 2012, Mr. Copple’s salary was increased from $445,877 to the reported amount as the Holdings Board recognized his increased leadership role in Cinemark Holdings upon the change in the position of the Chief Executive Officer.

See Compensation Discussion & Analysis for an explanation of the amount of annual base salary paid in proportion to total compensation.

 

(2) The reported amounts reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of restricted stock and performance awards (in the form of restricted stock units) granted to the named executive officers in 2012, 2011 and 2010, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The amounts shown exclude the impact of estimated forfeitures. See Note 17 to our condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for discussion of the assumptions used in determining the fair values of these stock awards, including forfeiture assumptions and the period over which Cinemark Holdings will recognize compensation expense for such awards.

Table of Contents

The grant date fair values were calculated based upon the closing price of Cinemark Holdings’ common stock on March 8, 2012 of $21.63, March 31, 2011 of $19.35 and March 31, 2010 of $18.34 per share.

No equity awards were granted to Mr. Stock in 2012 as he had retired from the Company by the grant date.

The target level of payment was assumed as the most probable outcome for the performance awards (in the form of restricted stock units) for purposes of the Summary Compensation Table. The table below provides the fair values of the performance awards (in the form of restricted stock units) at the grant dates in 2012, 2011 and 2010 assuming that the highest level of IRR is achieved:

Alan W. Stock

     —         $ 594,219       $ 1,499,533   

Tim Warner

   $ 764,794       $ 348,319       $ 1,258,491

Michael Cavalier

In February 2013, the Compensation Committee certified that Cinemark Holdings had achieved the highest level of IRR for the performance period from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2012. Consequently, the performance awards (in the form of restricted stock units) that were granted to Messrs. Warner, Copple, Fernandes and Cavalier on March 31, 2010, or the 2010 Grant, shall vest in the maximum amounts subject to continuous employment of the named executive officer until March 31, 2014.

Pursuant to the terms of the Consulting Agreement, the restricted stock and the performance awards (in the form of restricted stock units) granted to Mr. Stock under the 2010 Grant shall also vest on March 31, 2014. However, Mr. Stock shall forfeit 50% of the restricted stock and 100% of the performance awards (in the form of restricted stock units) granted to him on March 31, 2011, or the 2011 Grant.

The specific terms of the restricted stock and performance awards are discussed in more detail under Compensation Discussion and Analysis. See also Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2012.

The grant date fair values for the equity awards do not necessarily correspond to the actual values that will be realized by the named executive officers. The actual values realized will depend on the market value of Cinemark Holdings’ common stock on the vesting dates of the restricted stock and the performance awards.

 

(3) The reported amounts are the annual cash bonuses earned by the named executive officers for the fiscal year. Pursuant to the Bonus Plan, the annual cash bonuses earned for a fiscal year are paid in February or March of the following year subject to the attainment of pre-established performance targets set by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of the covered fiscal year. The 2012 annual cash bonuses were paid on February 21, 2013, the 2011 annual cash bonuses were paid on February 24, 2012 and the 2010 annual cash bonuses were paid on February 24, 2011. Mr. Fernandes’ annual cash bonus was calculated using an average of worldwide EBITDA and international EBITDA performance.

Subject to continued employment, the performance awards shall vest on March 8, 2016. The reported shares are based on the assumption of achievement of the threshold performance goals for such award.

Pursuant to the terms of the Restated Employment Agreement, upon expiration of the Restated Employment Agreement, the performance awards (in the form of restricted stock units) awarded to Mr. Warner under the 2012 Grant shall remain outstanding through the remainder of the performance period ending December 31, 2014 and if or to the extent the performance provisions are attained, the performance awards shall become immediately and fully vested without regard to any continued employment requirement once the performance provisions have been certified by the Compensation Committee.

No performance award was granted to Mr. Stock as he had retired from the Company effective February 15, 2012.

(1) Except for Messrs. Mitchell and Warner, the amounts reported are calculated as follows: two times the annual base salary in effect as of December 31, 2012. For Messrs. Mitchell and Warner it is the annual base salary in effect as of December 31, 2012. The amounts will be payable according to Company’s normal payroll practices for a period of 24 months to Messrs. Copple, Fernandes and Cavalier, for a period of 12 months to Mr. Mitchell and through the end of the term or renewal term of the Restated Employment Agreement to Mr. Warner.
(2) Except for Mr. Warner, the amounts reported are calculated as follows: the sum of the annual cash bonus the named executive officer would have received for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 and the annual cash bonus received by the named executive officer for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011. For Mr. Warner, the amount is the annual cash bonus he would have received for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. The annual cash bonus is payable to Messrs. Mitchell, Copple, Fernandes and Cavalier in a lump sum within 30 days of termination, and to Mr. Warner at the same time as the annual cash bonus payments are made to other similarly situated active executives pursuant to the terms of the Bonus Plan.
(3) The amounts reported are calculated as follows: welfare benefit plans and insurance programs for a period of 12 months for Mr. Mitchell and 24 months for Messrs. Warner, Copple, Fernandes and Cavalier. Disability insurance includes premiums for long-term disability, individual disability income protection and short-term disability.
(4) Mr. Mitchell is entitled to receive tax preparation assistance for five years following the date of termination. We estimate the cost of such preparation to be approximately $17,300 per year for five years. Messrs. Warner, Copple, Fernandes and Cavalier are entitled to use our office space for a period of three months following the date of termination. The reported amount is based on the use of a 144 square foot office at a rental rate of approximately $23 per square foot per annum.
(5) The amounts reported have been determined based on the following provisions in the respective employment agreements.

Pursuant to the Restated Employment Agreement, any outstanding equity award with time-based vesting provisions shall immediately become vested as of the termination date. Any equity awards with performance-based vesting provisions shall remain outstanding through the remainder of the applicable performance period and if or to the extent the performance provisions are attained, shall vest without regard to any continued employment requirement.

Based on the above provisions, Mr. Warner would have vested in 139,545 shares of restricted stock and 157,221 performance awards (in the form of restricted stock units).

Pursuant to the employment agreements of Messrs. Copple, Fernandes and Cavalier, any outstanding equity award with time-based vesting provisions shall vest on a pro rata basis. Any equity awards with performance-based vesting provisions shall remain outstanding through the remainder of the applicable performance period and if or to the extent the performance provisions are attained, shall vest without regard to any continued employment requirement on a pro rata basis. The pro rata basis for the equity awards is

based on the percentage determined by dividing (i) the number of days from and including the grant date of such equity award through the termination date of the executive’s employment, by (ii) the number of days from the grant date to the full vesting date/end of the applicable performance period, as applicable, of such equity awards.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

None of our executive officers served as a member of the board of directors or the compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on the Holdings Board or on the Compensation Committee. Messrs. Chereskin and Dombalagian served as the members of the Compensation Committee during the last completed fiscal year.

Director Compensation

In order to attract and retain qualified non-employee directors, Cinemark Holdings adopted a Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy in August 2007, by which non-employee directors are compensated for their service to Cinemark Holdings. Only those members of the Holdings Board who constitute non-employee directors are eligible to receive compensation under this policy. Non-employee directors include any member of the Holdings Board who (i) is neither Cinemark Holdings’ employee nor an employee of any of its subsidiaries; and (ii) is not an employee of any of Cinemark Holdings’ stockholders with contractual rights to nominate directors.

Each non-employee director receives the following annual compensation in connection with the service of such non-employee director as a member of the Holdings Board:

 

  (a) A base director retainer of $50,000;

 

  (b) An additional retainer of $20,000 if such non-employee director serves as the Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Holdings Board;

 

111


Table of Contents
  (c) An additional retainer of $10,000 if such non-employee director serves as a member of the Audit Committee of the Holdings Board, other than the Chairman of the Audit Committee;

 

  (d) An additional retainer of $10,000 if such non-employee director serves as the Chairman of the Compensation Committee;

 

  (e) An additional retainer of $5,000 if such non-employee director serves as a member of the Compensation Committee, other than the Chairman of the Compensation Committee; and

 

  (f) An additional retainer of $5,000 if such non-employee director serves as a member of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Holdings Board.

Annual compensation is paid in four equal quarterly installments at the end of each quarter for services rendered during the quarter. Additionally, on an annual basis, the non-employee directors receive a grant of restricted stock of Cinemark Holdings’ common stock valued at $100,000. The number of shares of restricted stock to be issued is determined by dividing $100,000 by the fair market value of a share of Cinemark Holdings’ common stock on the grant date, rounded down to the nearest whole share. The initial award and each annual award generally vest on the first anniversary of the date of the grant, subject to the non-employee director’s continued service Cinemark Holdings through the vesting date. An employee director who ceases to be an employee, but who remains a director, will not receive an initial award or an annual award for any remaining term or renewal term of office during which such director does not qualify as an independent director under applicable Commission rules and NYSE listing standards. All grants of restricted stock are made pursuant to the Restated Incentive Plan.

Members of the Holdings Board who are also officers or employees of Cinemark Holdings or its subsidiaries do not receive compensation for their services as a director. All directors are reimbursed for expenses incurred for each board meeting that they attend.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding the compensation of Cinemark Holdings’ directors for year ended December 31, 2012.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Holdings Board has adopted a written policy supplementing our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics relating to the review, approval and ratification of transactions between us and “related parties” as generally defined by applicable rules under the Securities Act. The policy covers any related party transaction in which the amount involved exceeds $120,000. The Holdings Board has determined that its Audit Committee is best suited to review and approve related party transactions, although in certain circumstances the Holdings Board may determine that a particular related party transaction be reviewed and approved by a majority of disinterested directors. In reviewing and approving a related party transaction, the Holdings Board’s Audit Committee, after satisfying itself that it has received full all material information regarding the related party transaction under review, shall approve based upon the determination whether the transaction is fair and in the best interest of Cinemark Holdings and us. Management recommends any proposed related party transaction to be entered into by Cinemark Holdings or the Company at an Audit Committee meeting. If management becomes aware of a proposed or existing related party transaction that has not been pre-approved by the Audit Committee, management shall promptly notify the Chairman of the Audit Committee who shall submit such related party transaction to the audit committee for approval or ratification if the Audit Committee determines that such transaction is fair to Cinemark Holdings or the applicable subsidiary. If management, in consultation with our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or General Counsel determines that it is not practicable to wait until the next Audit Committee meeting, the Chairman of the Audit Committee has been delegated the authority during this period to review, consider and approve any such transaction. In such event, the Chairman of the Audit Committee shall report any related party transaction approved by him or her at the next Audit Committee meeting. The Audit Committee may establish guidelines it determines are necessary and appropriate for management to follow in dealings with related parties and related party transactions. The procedures followed in considering a related party transaction are evidenced in the resolutions and minutes of the meeting of the Audit Committee or the Holdings Board, as applicable.

Certain Agreements

Plitt Plaza Joint Venture

We leased one theatre from Plitt Plaza Joint Venture, or Plitt Plaza. Plitt Plaza is indirectly owned by Lee Roy Mitchell. We closed this theatre during March 2010. We recorded approximately $0.1 million related to the termination of the lease during the year ended December 31, 2010.

Laredo Theatre

We manage two theatres for Laredo Theatre, Ltd., or Laredo. We are the sole general partner and own 75% of the limited partnership interests of Laredo.

agreement with the Operator to use, on occasion, a private aircraft owned by the Operator. The private aircraft is used by Mr. Mitchell and other executives who accompany Mr. Mitchell to business meetings for us. The Aircraft Agreement specifies the maximum amount that the Operator can charge us under the applicable regulations of the Federal Aviation Administration for the use of the aircraft and flight crew. We will pay the Operator the direct costs and expenses related to fuel, pilots, landing fees, storage fees, insurance obtained for the specific flight, flight planning, weather contract services and expenses such as in-flight food and beverage services and passenger ground transportation incurred during a trip. We paid Copper Beech Capital, LLC for the use of the aircraft in the aggregate amount of approximately $0.1 million during each of the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012.

Family Relationships

Tandy Mitchell, wife of Mr. Mitchell, is an employee of the Company and received total compensation of $176,694 from the Company for the 2012 fiscal year.

Raymond Syufy, a director, is an officer of the general partner of Syufy Enterprises. Of the 19 leases, 16 have fixed minimum annual rent. The three leases without minimum annual rent have rent based upon a specified percentage of gross sales as defined in the lease with no minimum annual rent. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, we paid total rent to Syufy Enterprises of approximately $18.1 million, $18.9 million and $18.6 million, respectively.

Director Nomination Agreement

On April 9, 2007, immediately prior to Cinemark Holdings’ initial public offering, it entered into the Director Nomination Agreement with certain stockholders permitting those certain stockholders to designate persons for appointment or nomination for election to the Holdings Board.

DESCRIPTION OF EXCHANGE NOTES

You can find the definitions of certain terms used in this description under the subheading “—Certain Definitions.” In this description, the word “Company” refers only to Cinemark USA, Inc. and not to any of its subsidiaries or its Parent Entities.

The Company issued the Initial Notes, and will issue the Exchange Notes, under the Indenture dated May 24, 2013, among itself, the Guarantors and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee. The terms of the Exchange Notes include those stated in the Indenture and those made part of the Indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended (the “Trust Indenture Act”). The aggregate principal amount of Notes issuable under the Indenture is unlimited, although the issuance of Exchange Notes in this exchange offering will be limited to an aggregate principal amount of $530,000,000. The form of Exchange Notes will be identical in all material respects to that of the Initial Notes except that the Exchange Notes have been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, will not bear legends restricting their transfer and the registration rights will not apply to the Exchange Notes. The Exchange Notes will not represent new Indebtedness of the Company. We may issue an unlimited principal amount of Additional Notes having identical terms and conditions as the Exchange Notes, subject to our compliance with the covenants contained in the Indenture. Any Additional Notes will be part of the same issue as the Exchange Notes and will vote on all matters with the holders of the Exchange Notes.

The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the Indenture. It does not restate that agreement in its entirety. We urge you to read the Indenture because it, and not this description, defines your rights as Holders of the Exchange Notes. Certain defined terms used in this description but not defined below under “—Certain Definitions” have the meanings assigned to them in the Indenture.

The registered Holder of an Exchange Note will be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. Only registered Holders will have rights under the Indenture.

Brief Description of the Exchange Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees

The Exchange Notes will:

 

  be general senior unsecured obligations of the Company;

 

  be limited to an aggregate principal amount of $530,000,000, subject to our ability to issue Additional Notes;

 

  mature on June 1, 2023;

 

  rank equal in right of payment with any existing and future Senior Debt of the Company, including Indebtedness of the Company under the Credit Agreement and the Existing 2022 Senior Notes;

 

  be structurally subordinated to Indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, of the Company’s non-Guarantor Subsidiaries;

 

  rank effectively junior in right of payment to any secured Indebtedness of the Company to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that Indebtedness, including Indebtedness of the Company under the Credit Agreement which is secured by a pledge of the Capital Stock of certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and by certain of the Company’s real property and substantially all of the Company’s personal and intangible property; and

 

  rank senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated Indebtedness of the Company, including the Existing 2021 Subordinated Notes.

The Exchange Notes will be guaranteed by each of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries that guarantees any of the Company’s or a Guarantors’ Indebtedness.

 

118


Table of Contents

Each Subsidiary Guarantee will:

 

  be a general senior unsecured obligation of such Guarantor;

 

  rank equal in right of payment with any existing and future Senior Debt of such Guarantor, including the guarantees by such Guarantor of the Credit Agreement and the Existing 2022 Senior Notes;

 

  be structurally subordinated to Indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, of such Guarantor’s Subsidiaries that are not Guarantors;

 

  rank effectively junior in right of payment to any secured Indebtedness of such Guarantor to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that Indebtedness, including the guarantee by such Guarantor of Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement; and

 

  rank senior in right of payment to any existing and future subordinated Indebtedness of such Guarantor, including the Existing 2021 Subordinated Notes.

At March 31, 2013, on an as adjusted basis, after giving effect to the Refinancing Transactions, the Company would have had total Senior Debt of approximately $1,628.3 million and total subordinated Indebtedness of approximately $200.0 million. As of March 31, 2013, on the same basis, the Guarantors would have had total Senior Debt of approximately $1,628.3 million (including their Guarantees of the Credit Agreement, the Existing 2022 Senior Notes and the Initial Notes) and total subordinated Indebtedness of approximately $200.0 million (representing their Guarantees of the Existing 2021 Subordinated Notes). Subject to certain limitations, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur other Indebtedness in the future, including secured Indebtedness. Moreover, the Indenture does not impose any limitation on the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of liabilities that are not considered Indebtedness under the Indenture.

Not all of our Subsidiaries will Guarantee the Exchange Notes. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, our non-Guarantor Subsidiaries generated in the aggregate approximately $189.6 million, or 34.6%, of our consolidated revenues. As of March 31, 2013, our non-Guarantor Subsidiaries on a combined basis accounted for approximately $1,094.3 million, or 28.3%, of our consolidated total assets. As of such date, the Indebtedness and other liabilities (other than Indebtedness and other liabilities owed to the Company or a Guarantor) of our non-Guarantor Subsidiaries were approximately $280.1 million, and the Exchange Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees would have been structurally subordinated to such Indebtedness and other liabilities. The Indenture permits, subject to certain limitations, the Company’s non-Guarantor Subsidiaries to incur additional Indebtedness and other liabilities. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of the Company’s non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, such Subsidiaries will pay the holders of their debt and their trade creditors before they will be able to distribute any of their assets to the Company or any Guarantor.

As of the Issue Date, all of the Company’s Subsidiaries other than Cinemark Media, Inc. were “Restricted Subsidiaries.” However, under the circumstances described below under the subheading “—Certain Covenants—Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries,” the Company will be permitted to designate additional Subsidiaries as “Unrestricted Subsidiaries.” The Company’s Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to many of the restrictive covenants in the Indenture. Unrestricted Subsidiaries and certain Restricted Subsidiaries will not guarantee the Exchange Notes. Cinemark Media, Inc. conducts no independent operations and its primary assets are its ownership interests in National CineMedia, Inc., DCIP and DCDC Holdings, Inc.

Principal, Maturity and Interest

The Company will issue Exchange Notes up to a maximum aggregate principal amount of $530,000,000. The Company may issue Additional Notes from time to time after this offering. Any offering of Additional Notes is subject to the covenant described below under the caption “—Certain Covenants—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock.” The Notes and any Additional Notes subsequently issued under the Indenture will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the Indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. The Company will issue notes in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Notes will mature on June 1, 2023.

 

119


Table of Contents

Interest on the Notes will accrue at a rate of 4.875 % per annum and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1, commencing on December 1, 2013. We will pay interest to those persons who were Holders of record on the May 15 and November 15 immediately preceding the related interest payment dates.

Interest on the Notes will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

Methods of Receiving Payments on the Notes

If a Holder has given wire transfer instructions to the Company, the Company will pay all principal, interest and premium and Additional Interest, if any, on that Holder’s Notes in accordance with those instructions. All other payments on the Notes will be made at the office or agency of the paying agent and registrar within the City and State of New York unless the Company elects to make interest payments by check mailed to the Holders at their address set forth in the register of Holders.

Paying Agent and Registrar for the Notes

The trustee will initially act as paying agent and registrar. The Company may change the paying agent or registrar without prior notice to the Holders of the Notes, and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as paying agent or registrar.

Transfer and Exchange

A Holder may transfer or exchange Notes in accordance with the Indenture. The registrar and the trustee may require a Holder to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents in connection with a transfer of Notes. Holders will be required to pay all taxes due on transfer. The Company is not required to transfer or exchange any Note selected for redemption. Also, the Company is not required to transfer or exchange any Note for a period of 15 days before a selection of Notes to be redeemed.

Subsidiary Guarantees

The Notes will be guaranteed by each of the Company’s current and future Restricted Subsidiaries that guarantees, assumes or in any other manner becomes liable with respect to any Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor. The Guarantors will, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantee on a senior unsecured basis the Company’s obligations under the Notes and all obligations under the Indenture. The Guarantors will agree to pay, in addition to the amount stated above, any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the trustee or the Holders in enforcing any rights under the Subsidiary Guarantees. The obligations of the Guarantors under the Subsidiary Guarantees will rank equally in right of payment with other Indebtedness of such Guarantor, except to the extent such other Indebtedness is expressly subordinated to the obligations arising under the Subsidiary Guarantees.

The obligations of each Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee will be limited as necessary to prevent that Subsidiary Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law.

A Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor, unless immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists.

 

120


Table of Contents

The Subsidiary Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released:

(1) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after giving effect to such transaction) a Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale or other disposition complies with the applicable provisions of the Indenture; or

(2) in connection with any sale, exchange or transfer of the Capital Stock of a Guarantor, after which such Guarantor is no longer a Subsidiary of the Company, so long as the sale, exchange or transfer is made in compliance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture; or

(3) if the Company designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Indenture; or

(4) upon the discharge of the Notes in accordance with the legal defeasance provisions of the Indenture; or

(5) upon the release, termination or satisfaction of the Guarantor’s guarantee or assumption of certain other Indebtedness as more particularly described in the covenant under the caption “—Certain Covenants—Future Guarantors.”

Optional Redemption

Except as described below, the Notes will not be redeemable at the Company’s option prior to June 1, 2018.

At any time prior to June 1, 2016, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Notes issued under the Indenture (including any Additional Notes) at a redemption price of 104.875% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the redemption date, with funds in an amount equal to the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings by the Company, provided that:

(1) at least 65% of the principal amount of notes issued under the Indenture (including any additional notes) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption (excluding Notes held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries); and

(2) the redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.

On and after June 1, 2018, the Company may redeem all or a part of the Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice except that a redemption notice may be sent more than 60 days prior to a redemption if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes redeemed, to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the 12-month period beginning on June 1 of the years indicated below:

If the redemption date is on or after an interest payment record date and on or before the related interest payment date, the accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, will be paid to the Holder in whose name the Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no additional interest or Additional Interest, if any, will be payable to Holders whose Notes will be subject to redemption by the Company.

 

121


Table of Contents

In addition, at any time and from time to time prior to June 1, 2018, the Company may, at its option, redeem all or a portion of the Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Premium with respect to the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date. Notice of such redemption must be sent to Holders of the Notes called for redemption not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date. The notice need not set forth the Applicable Premium but only the manner of calculation of the redemption price. The Indenture provides that, with respect to any such redemption, the Company will notify the trustee of the Applicable Premium with respect to the Notes promptly after the calculation and that the trustee will not be responsible for such calculation.

Notice of any redemption or purchase of the Notes (including upon an Equity Offering or in connection with a transaction (or series of related transactions) that constitute a Change of Control) may, at the Company’s discretion, be given prior to the completion thereof and be subject to one or more conditions precedent, including, but not limited to, completion of the related Equity Offering or Change of Control. In addition, if such redemption or purchase is subject to satisfaction of one or more conditions precedent, such notice shall state that, in the Company’s discretion, the redemption or purchase date may be delayed until such time as any or all such conditions shall be satisfied, or such redemption or purchase may not occur and such notice may be rescinded in the event that any or all such conditions shall not have been satisfied by the redemption or purchase date, or by the redemption or purchase date so delayed. In addition, the Company may provide in such notice that payment of the redemption or purchase price and performance of the Company’s obligations with respect to such redemption or purchase may be performed by another Person.

Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue with respect to the Notes called for redemption (if no maturity is within three months before or after June 1, 2018, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date, in each case calculated on the third business day immediately preceding the redemption date, plus, in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii), 0.50%.

Applicable Premium” means, at any redemption date, the excess of (A) the present value at such redemption date of (1) the redemption price of the Notes on June 1, 2018 (such redemption price being described above in the third paragraph of this “—Optional Redemption” section) plus (2) all required remaining scheduled interest payments due on the Notes through June 1, 2018 (excluding accrued and unpaid interest), computed using a discount rate equal to the Adjusted Treasury Rate, over (B) the principal amount of the Notes on such redemption date.

Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term from the redemption date to June 1, 2018, that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a maturity most nearly equal to June 1, 2018.

Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, if clause (ii) of the Adjusted Treasury Rate is applicable, the average of three, or such lesser number as is obtained by the trustee, Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the redemption date.

 

122


Table of Contents

Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer selected by the trustee after consultation with the Company.

Reference Treasury Dealer” means any three nationally recognized investment banking firms selected by the Company that are primary dealers of Government Securities.

Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue with respect to the Notes, expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount, quoted in writing to the trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day immediately preceding the redemption date.

Selection and Notice

If less than all of the Notes are to be redeemed at any time, the trustee will select notes for redemption as follows:

(1) if the notes are listed on any national securities exchange, in compliance with the requirements of the principal national securities exchange on which the Notes are listed; or

(2) if the notes are not listed on any national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis (and in the case of global notes, on as near a pro rata basis as practical, subject to the applicable procedures of the Depository Trust Company or other depositary for the Notes), by lot or by such method as the trustee deems fair and appropriate.

No Notes of $2,000 in aggregate principal amount or less can be redeemed in part. Except as otherwise specified, notices of redemption will be sent as provided in the Indenture at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Notes to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be sent more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture. Notices of redemption may not be conditional.

If any note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Note will state the portion of the principal amount of that Note that is to be redeemed. A new note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original note will be issued in the name of the Holder of Notes upon cancellation of the original note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. Unless the Company defaults in paying the redemption price, on and after the redemption date, interest and Additional Interest, if any, will cease to accrue on Notes or portions of them called for redemption.

Mandatory Redemption

The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the notes.

Repurchase at the Option of Holders

Change of Control

If a Change of Control occurs, the Company will be required to make an offer (a “Change of Control Offer”) to each Holder of Notes to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple thereof) of that Holder’s Notes on the terms set forth in the Indenture. In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will offer a payment in cash (the “Change of Control Payment”) equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes

 

123


Table of Contents

repurchased to the date of purchase (a “Change of Control Payment Date”). Within 30 days following any Change of Control, the Company will send a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Notes on the Change of Control Payment Date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is sent, pursuant to the procedures required by the Indenture and described in such notice.

On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:

(1) accept for payment all notes or portions of Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;

(2) deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Notes or portions of Notes properly tendered; and

(3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the trustee the Notes properly accepted together with an officers’ certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Notes or portions of Notes being purchased by the Company.

The paying agent will promptly mail to each Holder of notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such notes, and the trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

The Credit Agreement restricts, and future agreements may also restrict, the Company’s right to repurchase the notes as a result of a Change of Control.

If the Change of Control Payment Date is on or after an interest payment record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, will be paid to the Holder in whose name a Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no other interest or Additional Interest, if any, will be payable to Holders who tender pursuant to the Change of Control Offer.

The provisions described above that require the Company to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of the Indenture are applicable. Except as described above with respect to a Change of Control, the Indenture does not contain provisions that permit the Holders of the Notes to require that the Company repurchase or redeem the Notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction.

The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the Indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer or if an irrevocable notice of redemption has been given pursuant to the Indenture in accordance with the provisions set forth under the caption “—Optional Redemption.”

The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of “all or substantially all” of the properties or assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any person other than a Permitted Holder. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase “substantially all,” there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, in certain circumstances there may be a degree of uncertainty as to whether a particular transaction would involve a disposition of “all or substantially all” of the property or assets of a Person. As a result, it may be unclear as to whether a Change of Control has occurred and whether a Holder of Notes may require the Company to make a Change of Control Offer.

The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the Indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of the Indenture by virtue of such conflict.

The fair market value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this covenant will be determined by the Company or, if such fair market value exceeds $35.0 million, by the Board of Directors of the Company.

If any Investment is made pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant or any clause (other than clause (1)) of the definition of Permitted Investments in a Person that is not a Restricted Subsidiary (other than an Unrestricted Subsidiary) and thereafter such Person becomes a Restricted Subsidiary, such Investment shall thereafter be deemed to have been made pursuant to clause (1) of the definition of Permitted Investments and not pursuant to such first paragraph or other clause for so long as such Person continues to be a Restricted Subsidiary.

As of March 31, 2013, the Company would have been able to make approximately $1,146.8 million of Restricted Payments under the formula set forth in the second clause (3) of the first paragraph of this covenant, subject to the other limitations set forth in this covenant and in the covenants governing the Company’s other indebtedness, and limitations imposed by applicable law. In addition, this covenant will permit the Company to make substantial other Restricted Payments and substantial Permitted Investments.

Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and the Company will not issue any Disqualified Stock and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any Disqualified Stock or shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that the Company may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue shares of Disqualified Stock, and any Restricted Subsidiary may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), issue shares of Disqualified Stock and issue shares of preferred stock, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or preferred stock is issued would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or Disqualified Stock or preferred stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period.

The first paragraph of this covenant will not prohibit:

(1) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness and letters of credit under one or more Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding

(2) the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of Existing Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness described in clauses (1), (3) and (18));

(5) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to refund, refinance or replace Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted by the Indenture to be incurred under the first paragraph of this covenant or clauses (2), (3), (4), (5), (10) or (16) of this paragraph and related interest, premiums, fees and other Obligations;

(6) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that:

(a) if the Company or any Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the Notes, in the case of the Company, or the Subsidiary Guarantee, in the case of a Guarantor; and

(b) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock (but for the avoidance of doubt excluding the grant of a Permitted Lien thereon) to a Person that is neither the Company nor a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (6);

(7) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Hedging Obligations;

(8) the Guarantee by the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company of Indebtedness of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that was permitted to be incurred by another provision of this covenant; provided that in the event such Indebtedness that is being guaranteed is (a) pari passu with the Notes or a Subsidiary Guarantee, as the case may be, then the related Guarantee shall rank equally in right of payment to the Notes or Subsidiary Guarantee, as the case may be, or (b) subordinated to the Notes or a Subsidiary Guarantee, as the case may be, then the related Guarantee shall be subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Subsidiary Guarantee, as the case may be;

(9) the accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock or preferred stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock or preferred stock and the incurrence of unrealized losses or charges in respect of Hedging Obligations (including those resulting from the application of ASC Topic 815 (formerly

(11) Indebtedness supported by one or more letters of credit incurred under a Credit Facility in accordance with and pursuant to clause (1) of this paragraph; provided the amount of Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under this clause (11) relating to any such letter of credit shall not exceed the amount of the letter of credit provided for therein; provided, further, upon any reduction, cancellation or termination of the applicable letter of credit, there shall be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness under the Indenture equal to the excess of the amount of such Indebtedness outstanding immediately after such reduction, cancellation or termination over the remaining stated amount, if any, of such letter of credit or the stated amount of any letter of credit issued in replacement of such letter of credit;

(12) Indebtedness arising from the honoring by a bank or other financial institution of a check, draft or similar instrument inadvertently drawn against insufficient funds in the ordinary course of business; provided, however, that such Indebtedness is extinguished within ten business days of incurrence;

(13) Indebtedness represented by property, liability and workers’ compensation insurance, completion guarantees, performance bonds (provided that to the extent that such performance bonds secure Indebtedness, such Indebtedness is otherwise permitted under this covenant), surety bonds, appeal bonds and other obligations (which, in each case, may be in the form of or secured by letters of credit), in each case required or incurred in the ordinary course of business or in connection with the enforcement of rights or claims of the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company or in connection with judgments that do not result in a Default or an Event of Default and all reimbursement obligations under such letters of credit;

(14) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of additional Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock in an aggregate principal amount (or accreted value or liquidation preference, as applicable) at any time outstanding not to exceed $500.0 million;

(15) Construction Indebtedness and Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred in respect thereof in an aggregate principal amount that does not exceed $100.0 million at any time outstanding;

(16) Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock of (x) the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary incurred to finance an acquisition or (y) Persons that are acquired by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary or merged into the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; provided that after giving effect to such acquisition or merger, either

(a) the Company would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in the first sentence of this covenant, or

(b) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is equal to or greater than such ratio immediately prior to such acquisition or merger;

(17) Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to an Unrestricted Subsidiary for money borrowed; provided that such Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or such Restricted Subsidiary’s Subsidiary Guarantee, the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Indebtedness is greater than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Notes and the holders of such Indebtedness are not permitted to accelerate such Indebtedness or exercise any other remedies with respect thereto until 91 days after the Stated Maturity of the Notes; and

Table of Contents

(18) Indebtedness incurred by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary with respect to Digital Projector Financing in an aggregate principal amount incurred not to exceed (i) $70.0 million during the period from the Start Date to the first anniversary thereof; (ii) $70.0 million during the period from the first anniversary of the Start Date to the second anniversary of the Start Date and (iii) $60.0 million after the second anniversary of the Start Date; provided that any unused or repaid amounts may be carried forward and used in subsequent periods without limitation.

Neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary will incur any Indebtedness under the preceding paragraph if the proceeds thereof are used, directly or indirectly, to refinance any Indebtedness subordinated to the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee unless such Indebtedness will be subordinated to the Notes or such Subsidiary Guarantee to at least the same extent as such subordinated Indebtedness. No Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is not a Guarantor may incur any Indebtedness if the proceeds are used to refinance Indebtedness of the Company or a Guarantor (other than a refinancing of all the Notes).

For purposes of determining compliance with this “Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock” covenant, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories described in clauses (1) through (18) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, the Company will be permitted to classify and divide and later classify, reclassify and divide (in whole or in part in its sole discretion) such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this covenant; provided that all Indebtedness outstanding on the Issue Date under the Credit Agreement shall be deemed to have been incurred on the Issue Date pursuant to clause (1) above and the Company shall not be permitted to later reclassify all or any portion of such Indebtedness outstanding on the Issue Date under the Credit Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Disqualified Stock of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, or preferred stock of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, will be equal to the greater of the maximum mandatory redemption or repurchase price (not including, in either case, any redemption or repurchase premium) or the liquidation preference thereof.

The Indenture will not treat (1) unsecured Indebtedness as subordinated to secured Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured, (2) Senior Debt that is secured Indebtedness as subordinated to any other Senior Debt that is secured Indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral, (3) any Indebtedness as subordinated to any other Indebtedness merely because of maturity date, order of payment or order of application of funds or (4) Indebtedness that is not Guaranteed as subordinated to Indebtedness that is Guaranteed merely because of such Guarantee.

Liens

The Company will not and will not permit any Guarantor to create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien (other than Permitted Liens) of any kind securing Indebtedness upon any of their property or assets (including Capital Stock of Subsidiaries of the Company), now owned or hereafter acquired, unless contemporaneously with the incurrence of such Lien effective provision is made to secure the Obligations due under the Indenture and the Notes or, in respect of any Lien on any Guarantor’s property or assets, any Subsidiary Guarantee of such Guarantor, (1) in the case of Liens securing Indebtedness that is pari passu in right of payment with the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee, on an equal and ratable basis with (or, if the Company so elects, on a senior basis to) the obligations so secured until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien and (2) in the case of Liens securing Indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee, on a senior basis to the obligations so secured with the same relative priority as the Notes or such Subsidiary Guarantee, as the case may be, will have to that subordinated Indebtedness until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien.

Any Lien created for the benefit of Holders of the Notes pursuant to this covenant shall be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of each of the Liens described in clauses (1) and (2) in the preceding paragraph.

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor to:

(1) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any Indebtedness owed to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(2) make loans or advances to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or

(3) applicable law, rule, regulation or order;

(4) any agreement, instrument or Capital Stock of a Person acquired by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (including by merger or consolidation) as in effect at the time of such acquisition (except to the extent such agreement, instrument or Capital Stock was incurred in connection with or in contemplation of such acquisition), which encumbrance or restriction is not applicable to any Person, or the properties or assets of any Person, other than the Person, or the property or assets of the Person, so acquired, provided that, in the case of Indebtedness, such Indebtedness was permitted by the terms of the Indenture to be incurred;

(5) customary non-assignment provisions in leases, licenses and conveyances entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(6) purchase money obligations for property acquired in the ordinary course of business that impose restrictions on that property of the nature described in clause (3) of the preceding paragraph;

(7) any agreement for the sale or other disposition of a Restricted Subsidiary that restricts distributions by that Restricted Subsidiary pending its sale or other disposition;

(8) Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness, provided that the restrictions contained in the agreements governing such Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness are not materially more restrictive, taken as a whole, than those contained in the agreements governing the Indebtedness being refinanced;

(11) the issuance of preferred stock by a Restricted Subsidiary or the payment of dividends thereon in accordance with the terms thereof, provided that issuance of such preferred stock is permitted pursuant to the covenant described under the caption “—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock” and the terms of such preferred stock do not expressly restrict the ability of a Restricted Subsidiary to pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock (other than requirements to pay dividends or liquidation preferences on such preferred stock prior to paying any dividends or making any other distributions on such other Capital Stock);

(12) encumbrances or restrictions contained in any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock incurred by a Foreign Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to the first paragraph or clause (1), (4), (5) (but only to the extent a Foreign Restricted Subsidiary initially would have been permitted to incur the underlying Indebtedness), (14), (15), (16) or (18) of the second paragraph of the covenant described under the caption “—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock”; provided that such encumbrance or restriction shall only apply to such Foreign Restricted Subsidiary;

(13) supermajority voting requirements existing under corporate charters, bylaws, stockholders agreements and similar documents and agreements;

(14) restrictions on cash or other deposits or net worth imposed by customers under contracts entered into in the ordinary course of business;

(16) any encumbrances or restrictions imposed by any amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings of the contracts, instruments or obligations referred to in clauses (2) through (15) above or this clause (16); provided that such amendments, modifications, restatements, renewals, increases, supplements, refundings, replacements or refinancings are, in the good faith judgment of the Company, not materially more restrictive with respect to such encumbrances and restrictions taken as a whole than those prior to such amendment, modification, restatement, renewal, increase, supplement, refunding, replacement or refinancing; and

(17) restrictions or conditions of the types contained in clause (3) of the preceding paragraph contained in any operating, construction, service, supply, purchase or other agreement to which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary is a party entered into in the ordinary course of business; provided that such agreement limits the encumbrance solely to the property or assets of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary that is the subject of such agreement, the payment rights arising thereunder and the proceeds thereof and does not extend to any other asset or property of such Restricted Subsidiary or the assets or property of the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary.

In each case set forth above, notwithstanding any stated limitation on the assets or property that may be subject to such encumbrance or restriction, an encumbrance or restriction on a specified asset or property or group or type of assets or property may also apply to all improvements, additions and accessions thereto, assets and property affixed or appurtenant thereto, and all products and proceeds thereof, including dividends, distributions, interest and increases in respect thereof.

Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets

The Company may not, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions: (1) consolidate or merge with or into another Person (whether or not the Company is the surviving corporation); or (2) sell, assign,

 

134


Table of Contents

transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another Person; unless:

(1) either: (a) the Company is the surviving corporation; or (b) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made is a corporation, limited liability company or partnership organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia; provided that if the Person is a partnership or limited liability company, a corporation wholly owned by such Person organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia that does not and will not have any material assets or operations shall promptly thereafter become a co-issuer of the Notes pursuant to a supplemental indenture;

(2) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company) or the Person to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made expressly assumes all the obligations of the Company under the Notes, the Indenture and the registration rights agreement pursuant to agreements reasonably satisfactory to the trustee;

(3) immediately after such transaction no Default or Event of Default exists;

(4) the Company or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company), or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made will, on the date of such transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, (a) be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of the covenant described above under the caption “—Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock” or (b) have a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio equal to or greater than the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company immediately prior to such transaction; and

(5) if the Company is not the surviving corporation, each Guarantor (unless it is the other party to the transactions above, in which case clause (2) shall apply) shall have by supplemental indenture confirmed that its Subsidiary Guarantee shall apply to such Person’s obligations in respect of the Notes and the Indenture and its obligations under the registration rights agreement shall continue to be in effect.

In addition, the Company may not, directly or indirectly, lease all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to any other Person.

Notwithstanding the preceding clause (4), any Restricted Subsidiary may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to the Company or any Guarantor.

Transactions with Affiliates

The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of any Affiliate (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or considerations in excess of $10.0 million, unless:

(1) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with a Person who is not an Affiliate; and

(2) the Company delivers to the trustee:

(a) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $10.0 million, an officers’ certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this covenant; and

 

135


Table of Contents

(b) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $50.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. and the Company set forth in an officers’ certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this covenant and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. and the Company.

The following items will be deemed to not be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of the prior paragraph:

(1) any employment, consulting or similar agreement or other compensation arrangement entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary;

(2) transactions between or among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries;

(3) transactions with a Person that is an Affiliate of the Company solely because the Company owns an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person;

(4) reasonable fees and expenses and compensation paid to, and indemnity provided on behalf of, officers, directors or employees of the Company or any Subsidiary as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors or senior management of the Company;

(5) sales of Equity Interests (other than Disqualified Stock) to Affiliates of the Company and the granting of registration and other customary rights in connection therewith;

(6) Restricted Payments that are permitted by the provisions of the Indenture described above under the caption “—Restricted Payments,” Permitted Investments (other than pursuant to clause (3) of such definition) and any transactions excluded from their or any component definitions;

(7) [RESERVED];

(8) transactions pursuant to any contract or agreement described in the Offering Memorandum under the caption “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions,” as in effect on the Issue Date, in each case as amended, modified or replaced from time to time so long as the amended, modified or new agreements, taken as a whole, are not materially less favorable to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole than those in effect on the Issue Date;

(9) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case, in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of the Indenture which are fair to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors of the Company or the senior management thereof, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party;

(10) the pledge of Equity Interests of an Unrestricted Subsidiary to its lenders to support the Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary owed to such lenders; and

(11) transactions in which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries delivers to the trustee a letter from an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing stating that such transaction is fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or stating that the terms are not materially less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have reasonably been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person on an arms’-length basis.

Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries

The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an

 

136


Table of Contents

Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate fair market value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary properly designated will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments or Permitted Investments, as determined by the Company. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors of the Company may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if the redesignation would not cause a Default.

Future Guarantors

The Indenture provides that if any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is not a Guarantor (the “New Guarantor”) Guarantees, assumes or in any other manner becomes liable with respect to Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor (the “Other Indebtedness”), then the New Guarantor shall, within ten business days of the date of the New Guarantor’s Guarantee or assumption of the Other Indebtedness, execute and deliver to the trustee a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the trustee pursuant to which the New Guarantor shall become a Guarantor and Guarantee the obligations of the Company under the Indenture and the Notes on a senior basis. Upon the release, termination or satisfaction of the New Guarantor’s Guarantee or assumption of all Other Indebtedness (other than a release, termination or satisfaction as a result of payment under such Guarantee), the New Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guarantee shall automatically be released and terminated. The Subsidiary Guarantee of any Guarantor that is not a New Guarantor shall be released and terminated upon notice from the Company if, at the time of such notice, such Restricted Subsidiary would have no obligation to become a Guarantor under this covenant. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Subsidiary Guarantee of any Guarantor shall not be released and terminated as a result of the termination of the Credit Agreement.

Business Activities

The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any business other than Permitted Businesses, except to such extent as would not be material to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Reports

Whether or not required by the Commission, so long as any Notes are outstanding, the Company will furnish to the trustee and the Holders of Notes, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations (including all applicable extensions):

(1) all quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the Commission on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company were required to file such Forms, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and, with respect to the annual information only, a report on the annual financial statements by the Company’s independent auditors; and

(2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the Commission on Form 8-K if the Company were required to file such reports.

If the Company has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by the preceding paragraph will include an unaudited consolidating balance sheet and related statements of income and cash flows for the Company and its Subsidiaries, separately identifying (a) the Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries and (b) the Unrestricted Subsidiaries, in all reports containing the consolidated financial statements (which in the case of annual reports shall be audited) of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries.

In addition, following the consummation of the exchange offer contemplated by the registration rights agreement (the “Exchange Offer”), whether or not required by the Commission, the Company will file a copy of

 

137


Table of Contents

all of the information and reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above with the Commission for public availability within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations after giving effect to all applicable extensions (unless the Commission will not accept such a filing) and make such information available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon request. In addition, the Company has agreed that, for so long as any notes remain outstanding, it will furnish to the Holders and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.

The Company will be deemed to have furnished such reports to the trustee and the Holders if it has filed such reports with the Commission using the EDGAR filing system and such reports are publicly available.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company will be deemed not to have failed to comply with any of its obligations hereunder for purposes of clause (5) under “—Events of Default and Remedies” until 120 days after the date any report hereunder is required to be made available to the trustee and the Holders pursuant to this covenant.

Events of Default and Remedies

Each of the following is an Event of Default:

(1) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on, or Additional Interest with respect to, the Notes;

(2) default in payment when due of the principal of, or premium, if any, on, the Notes;

(3) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with the provisions described under the caption “—Certain Covenants—Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets”;

(4) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for 30 days after receipt of written notice from the trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Notes to comply with the provision described under the caption “—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control”;

(5) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for 60 days after receipt of written notice from the trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Notes to comply with any of the other agreements in the Indenture;

(6) default by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any Indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) whether such Indebtedness or guarantee was created before or after the Issue Date, if that default:

(a) is caused by a failure to pay principal on such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”); or

(b) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity,

and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $25.0 million or more;

(7) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay final non—appealable judgments aggregating in excess of $25.0 million (net of any amount with respect to which a reputable and solvent insurance company has acknowledged liability in writing), which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days;

(8) except as permitted by the Indenture, any Subsidiary Guarantee shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee; and

 

138


Table of Contents

(9) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization described in the Indenture with respect to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that are individually or collectively a Significant Subsidiary.

In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, with respect to the Company, any Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries that taken together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding notes may declare all the Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon any such declaration, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and Additional Interest, if any, shall become due and payable immediately.

Holders may not enforce the Indenture or the Notes except as provided in the Indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding notes may direct the trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The trustee may withhold from Holders notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal of, or interest or premium or Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes.

The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes then outstanding by notice to the trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the Indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest or premium or Additional Interest, if any, on the notes.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in clause (6) above shall have occurred and be continuing, such Event of Default and any consequential acceleration shall be automatically rescinded if (i) the Indebtedness that is the subject of such Event of Default has been repaid or (ii) if the default relating to such Indebtedness is waived or cured and if such Indebtedness has been accelerated, then the holders thereof have rescinded their declaration of acceleration in respect of such Indebtedness.

The Company is required to deliver to the trustee annually a statement regarding compliance with the Indenture. Upon becoming aware of any Default or Event of Default, the Company is required to deliver to the trustee a statement specifying such Default or Event of Default.

No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders

No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Notes, the Indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantees or the registration rights agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of notes by accepting a note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.

Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance

The Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have all of its obligations discharged with respect to the outstanding Notes and all obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to their Subsidiary Guarantees (“Legal Defeasance”) except for:

(1) the rights of Holders of outstanding Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium and Additional Interest, if any, on such Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to below;

 

139


Table of Contents

(2) the Company’s obligations with respect to the Notes concerning issuing temporary Notes, registration of Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust;

(3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the trustee, and the Company’s and the Guarantor’s obligations in connection therewith; and

(4) the Legal Defeasance provisions of the Indenture.

In addition, the Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors released with respect to certain covenants that are described in the Indenture (“Covenant Defeasance”) and thereafter any omission to comply with those covenants will not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Notes. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, certain events (not including non-payment and bankruptcy, reorganization and insolvency events with respect to the Company) described under “—Events of Default and Remedies” will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Notes.

In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:

(1) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants (or, if two or more nationally recognized firms of independent public accountants decline to issue such opinion as a matter of policy after the Company has made reasonable efforts to obtain such an opinion, in the opinion of the Company’s chief financial officer), to pay the principal of, or interest and premium and Additional Interest, if any, on the outstanding Notes on the stated maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date;

(2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company has delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the trustee confirming that (a) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of counsel will confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;

(3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company has delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;

(4) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the granting of Liens in connection therewith);

(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any material agreement or instrument (other than the Indenture) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;

(6) the Company must have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, assuming that no intervening bankruptcy of the Company between the date of the deposit and the 91st day following the deposit will occur and that no Holder of Notes is an insider of the Company under applicable bankruptcy law, no trust funds will be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally;

 

140


Table of Contents

(7) the Company must deliver to the trustee an officers’ certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of Notes over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company or others; and

(8) the Company must deliver to the trustee an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

Amendment, Supplement and Waiver

Except as provided in the next two succeeding paragraphs, the Indenture, the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes), and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the Indenture or the Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Notes).

Without the consent of each Holder affected, an amendment or waiver may not (with respect to any Notes held by a non-consenting Holder):

(1) reduce the principal amount of Notes whose Holders must consent to an amendment, supplement or waiver;

(2) reduce the principal of or change the fixed maturity of any Note or alter the provisions with respect to the redemption of the Notes;

(3) reduce the rate of or change the time for payment of interest on any Note;

(4) waive a Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest or premium, or Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes (except a rescission of acceleration of the Notes by the Holders of at least a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Notes and a waiver of the payment default that resulted from such acceleration);

(5) make any Note payable in currency other than that stated in the Notes;

(6) make any change in the provisions of the Indenture relating to waivers of past Defaults or the rights of Holders of Notes to receive payments of principal of, or interest or premium or Additional Interest, if any, on the Notes;

(7) waive a redemption payment with respect to any Note;

(8) impair the right of any Holder to receive payment of principal of, or interest on such Holder’s Notes on or after the due dates therefor or to institute suit for the enforcement of any payment on or with respect to such Holder’s Notes;

(9) release any Guarantor from any of its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee or the Indenture, except in accordance with the terms of the Indenture; or

(10) make any change in the preceding amendment and waiver provisions.

Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, without the consent of any Holder of Notes, the Company, the Guarantors and the trustee may amend or supplement the Indenture, the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees to:

(1) cure any ambiguity, defect or inconsistency;

(2) provide for uncertificated Notes in addition to or in place of certificated Notes (provided that the uncertificated Notes are issued in registered form for purposes of Section 163(f) of the Code, or in a manner such that the uncertificated Notes are described in Section 163(f)(2)(B) of the Code);

 

141


Table of Contents

(3) provide for the assumption of the Company’s or a Guarantors’ obligations to Holders of notes in the case of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or a Guarantor;

(4) make any change that would provide any additional rights or benefits to the Holders of Notes or that does not adversely affect the legal rights under the Indenture of any such Holder;

(5) provide for the issuance of Additional Notes in accordance with the provisions set forth in the Indenture on the Issue Date;

(6) add Subsidiary Guarantees with respect to the Notes or to secure the Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees;

(7) comply with requirements of the Commission in order to effect or maintain the qualification of the Indenture under the Trust Indenture Act;

(8) evidence and provide for the acceptance and appointment under the Indenture of a successor trustee thereunder pursuant to the requirements thereof; or

(9) conform the text of the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees or the Indenture to any provision of this “Description of Exchange Notes” to the extent that such provision in this “Description of Exchange Notes” was intended to be a verbatim recitation of a provision of the Notes, the Subsidiary Guarantees or the Indenture.

For the avoidance of doubt, clauses (2) and (7) of the second paragraph under this caption “—Amendment, Supplement and Waiver” do not apply to the covenant described above under the caption “—Repurchase at the Option of Holders—Change of Control,” provisions related thereto and payments required thereunder; provided that such covenant, provisions related thereto and payments required thereunder will be governed by the first paragraph under this caption “—Amendment, Supplement and Waiver.”

Satisfaction and Discharge

The Indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all notes issued thereunder, when:

(1) either:

Concerning the Trustee

If the trustee becomes a creditor of the Company, the Indenture limits its right to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions; however, if it acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue or resign.

The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the trustee, subject to certain exceptions. The Indenture provides that in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the trustee will be required, in the exercise of its power, to use the degree of care of a prudent man in the conduct of his own affairs. Subject to such provisions, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the Indenture at the request of any Holder of Notes, unless such Holder has offered to the trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

We will issue the Exchange Notes in the form of one or more global Exchange Notes, or the Global Exchange Note. The Global Exchange Note will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company, or DTC, and registered in the name of the DTC or its nominee. Except as set forth below, the Global Exchange Note may be transferred, in whole and not in part, and only to DTC or another nominee of DTC. You may hold your beneficial interests in the Global Exchange Note directly through DTC if you have an account with DTC or indirectly through organizations that have accounts with DTC.

DTC has advised us that it is:

 

   

a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York;

 

   

a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York State Banking Law;

 

   

a member of the Federal Reserve System;

 

   

a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code; and

 

   

a “clearing agency” registered under Section 17A of the Exchange Act.

DTC was created to hold securities for its participants and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between its participants through electronic book-entry changes to the accounts of its participants. DTC’s participants include securities brokers and dealers, including the initial purchasers; banks and trust companies; clearing corporations and other organizations. Indirect access to DTC’s system is also available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies; these indirect participants clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a DTC participant, either directly or indirectly. Investors who are not DTC participants may beneficially own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only through DTC participants or indirect participants in DTC.

So long as DTC’s nominee is the registered owner of a Global Exchange Note, that nominee will be considered the sole owner or holder of the Exchange Notes represented by that Global Exchange Note for all purposes under the Indenture. Except as provided below under “—Certificated Notes,” owners of beneficial interests in a Global Exchange Note:

 

   

will not be entitled to have Exchange Notes represented by the Global Exchange Note registered in their names;

 

   

will not receive or be entitled to receive physical, certificated Exchange Notes; and

 

   

will not be considered the owners or holders of the Exchange Notes under the Indenture for any purpose, including with respect to the giving of any direction, instruction or approval to the trustee under the Indenture.

As a result, each investor who owns a beneficial interest in a Global Exchange Note must rely on the procedures of DTC to exercise any rights of a holder of Exchange Notes under the Indenture (and, if the investor is not a participant or an indirect participant in DTC, on the procedures of the DTC participant through which the investor owns its interest).

Payments of principal, premium (if any) and interest with respect to the Exchange Notes represented by a Global Exchange Note will be made by the trustee to DTC’s nominee as the registered holder of the Global Exchange Note. We understand that under existing industry practice, in the event an owner of a beneficial interest in the Global Exchange Note desires to take any action that the DTC, as the holder of the Global Exchange Note, is entitled to take, the DTC would authorize the participants to take such action, and the participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through such participants to take such action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners owning through them.

Table of Contents

We will make payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on Exchange Notes represented by the Global Exchange Note registered in the name of and held by the DTC or its nominee to the DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner and holder of the Global Exchange Note. We expect that the DTC or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Global Exchange Note will credit participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the Global Exchange Note as shown on the records of the DTC or its nominee. We also expect that payments by participants or indirect participants to owners of beneficial interests in the Global Exchange Note held through such participants or indirect participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of such participants or indirect participants. We will not have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in the Global Exchange Note for any Exchange Note or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests or for any other aspect of the relationship between the DTC and its participants or indirect participants or the relationship between such participants or indirect participants and the owners of beneficial interests in the Global Exchange Note owning through such participants. Transfers between participants in DTC will be effected under DTC’s procedures and will be settled in same-day funds.

Although the DTC has agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in the Global Exchange Note among participants of the DTC, it is under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. Neither the Trustee nor the Company will have any responsibility or liability for the performance by the DTC or its participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.

Certificated Notes

Exchange Notes in physical, certificated form will be issued and delivered to each person that DTC identifies as a beneficial owner of the related Exchange Notes only if:

 

   

DTC notifies us at any time that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Exchange Notes and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days;

 

   

DTC ceases to be registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days;

 

   

we, at our option, notify the trustee that we elect to cause the issuance of certificated Exchange Notes; or

 

   

certain other events provided in the Indenture should occur.

DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN DEBT INSTRUMENTS

Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility

On December 18, 2012, we amended and restated our former senior secured credit facility to include a seven year $700.0 million term loan and a five year $100.0 million revolving credit line. The proceeds from the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility, combined with a portion of the proceeds from the 5.125% Senior Notes discussed below, were used to refinance our former senior secured credit facility. We incurred debt issue costs of approximately $12.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2012 related to the amendment and restatement. The term loan under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility matures in December 2019. The revolving credit line, which was undrawn at closing and remained undrawn as of December 31, 2012, matures in December 2017. Quarterly principal payments in the amount of $1.75 million are due on the term loan beginning March 2013 through September 2019 with the remaining principal of $652.8 million due on December 18, 2019.

Interest on the term loan accrues at our option at: (A) the base rate equal to the higher of (1) the prime lending rate as set forth on the British Banking Association Telerate page 5, or (2) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50%, plus a margin of 2.0% per annum, or (B) a “eurodollar rate” plus a margin of 3.0% per annum. Interest on the revolving credit line accrues, at our option, at: (A) a base rate equal to the higher of (1) the prime lending rate as set forth on the British Banking Association Telerate page 5 and (2) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50%, plus a margin that ranges from 1.00% to 1.75% per annum, or (B) a “eurodollar rate” plus a margin that ranges from 2.00% to 2.75% per annum. The margin of the revolving credit line is determined by the consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio, as defined in the credit agreement.

Our obligations under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility are guaranteed by Cinemark Holdings and certain of our domestic subsidiaries and are secured by mortgages on certain fee and leasehold properties and security interests in substantially all of our and the guarantors’ personal property, including, without limitation, pledges of all of our capital stock, all of the capital stock of certain of our domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the voting stock of certain of our foreign subsidiaries.

The Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility contains usual and customary negative covenants for agreements of this type, including, but not limited to, restrictions on our ability, and in certain instances, our subsidiaries’ and Cinemark Holdings’ ability, to consolidate or merge or liquidate, wind up or dissolve; substantially change the nature of our business; sell, transfer or dispose of assets; create or incur indebtedness; create liens; pay dividends, and repurchase stock; and make capital expenditures and investments. If we have borrowings outstanding on the revolving credit line, we are required to satisfy a consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio covenant as determined in accordance with the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility.

The dividend restriction contained in the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility prevents us and any of our subsidiaries from paying a dividend or otherwise distributing cash to our stockholders unless (1) we are not in default, and the distribution would not cause us to be in default, under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility; and (2) the aggregate amount of certain dividends, distributions, investments, redemptions and capital expenditures made since December 18, 2012, including dividends declared by the board of directors, is less than the sum of (a) the aggregate amount of cash and cash equivalents received by Cinemark Holdings, Inc. or us as common equity since December 18, 2012, (b) our EBITDA minus 1.75 times consolidated interest expense, each as defined in the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility, and (c) certain other defined amounts. As of March 31, 2013, we could have distributed up to approximately $1,413.5 million to our parent company and sole stockholder, Cinemark Holdings, under the terms of the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility, subject to available cash and other borrowing restrictions outlined in the credit agreement.

At March 31, 2013, there was $698.3 million outstanding under the term loan and no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit line. We had $100.0 million in available borrowing capacity on the revolving credit line. The average interest rate on outstanding term loan borrowings under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility at March 31, 2013 was approximately 4.0% per annum.

5.125% Senior Notes

On December 18, 2012, we issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 5.125% Senior Notes at par value. A portion of the proceeds were used to refinance a portion of the former senior secured credit facility and the remainder was used to fund the purchase price for the acquisition of certain Rave theatres pursuant to an asset purchase agreement dated November 16, 2012 among Cinemark USA, Inc., Rave Cinemas, LLC, Rave Real Property Holdco, LLC and certain of its subsidiaries and RC Processing, LLC, and for general corporate purposes. Interest on the 5.125% Senior Notes is payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning June 15, 2013. The 5.125% Senior Notes mature on December 15, 2022.

The 5.125% Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior unsecured basis by our guarantors. The 5.125% Senior Notes and the guarantees are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of our and our guarantors’ existing and future senior unsecured debt, including the Exchange Notes, and senior in right of payment to all of our and our guarantors’ existing and future subordinated debt, including the senior subordinated notes. The 5.125% Senior Notes and the guarantees are effectively subordinated to all of our and our guarantors’ existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt, including all borrowings under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility. The 5.125% Senior Notes and the guarantees are structurally subordinated to all existing and future debt and other liabilities of our subsidiaries (other than debt and other liabilities owed to us) that do not guarantee the 5.125% Senior Notes.

The indenture governing the 5.125% Senior Notes contains covenants that limit, among other things, our and certain of our subsidiaries’ ability to (1) make investments or other restricted payments, including paying dividends, making other distributions or repurchasing subordinated debt or equity, (2) incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock, (3) enter into transactions with affiliates, (4) enter new lines of business, (5) merge or consolidate with, or sell all or substantially all of its assets to, another person and (6) create liens. As of March 31, 2013, we could have distributed up to approximately $1,146.8 million to Cinemark Holdings under the terms of the indenture governing the 5.125% Senior Notes, subject to our available cash and other borrowing restrictions outlined in the indenture. Upon a change of control, as defined in the indenture, we would be required to make an offer to repurchase the 5.125% Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, through the date of repurchase.

The indenture governing the 5.125% Senior Notes allows us to incur additional indebtedness if we satisfy the coverage ratio specified in the indenture, after giving effect to the incurrence of the additional indebtedness, and in certain other circumstances. The required minimum coverage ratio is 2 to 1 and our actual ratio as of March 31, 2013 was approximately 5.3 to 1. Prior to December 15, 2017, we may redeem all or any part of the 5.125% Senior Notes at our option at 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium. After December 15, 2017, we may redeem the 5.125% Senior Notes in whole or in part at redemption prices specified in the indenture governing the 5.125% Senior Notes. In addition, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 5.125% Senior Notes with funds in an amount equal to the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at the redemption price specified in the indenture governing the 5.125% Senior Notes.

The indenture governing the 5.125% Senior Notes also provides for customary events of default that, if any of them occurs, would permit or require the principal of, and accrued interest on, the 5.125% Senior Notes to become or to be declared due and payable.

We and our guarantors filed a registration statement with the Commission on April 16, 2013, pursuant to which we offered to exchange the 5.125% Senior Notes for substantially similar 5.125% Senior Notes registered under the Securities Act. The registration statement was declared effective on April 24, 2013 and all of the notes were exchanged on May 24, 2013. The registered 5.125% Senior Notes issued in the exchange do not have transfer restrictions.

7.375% Senior Subordinated Notes

On June 3, 2011, we issued $200.0 million aggregate principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Notes at par value. The proceeds, after payment of fees, were primarily used to fund the prepayment of the remaining $157.2 million of our unextended portion of term loan debt under our former senior secured credit facility. Interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes is payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The Senior Subordinated Notes mature on June 15, 2021.

The Senior Subordinated Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior subordinated unsecured basis by certain of our subsidiaries that guarantee, assume or become liable with respect to any of our or a guarantor’s other debt. The Senior Subordinated Notes and the guarantees are senior subordinated unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of our and a guarantor’s future senior subordinated indebtedness; are subordinate in right of payment to all of our and a guarantor’s existing and future senior indebtedness, whether secured or unsecured, including our obligations under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility, the 5.125% Senior Notes and the Notes; and structurally subordinate to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of our non-guarantor subsidiaries.

The indenture governing the Senior Subordinated Notes contains covenants that limit, among other things, our and certain of our subsidiaries’ ability to (1) make investments or other restricted payments, including paying dividends, making other distributions or repurchasing subordinated debt or equity, (2) incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock, (3) enter into transactions with affiliates, (4) enter new lines of business, (5) merge or consolidate with, or sell all or substantially all of its assets to, another person and (6) create liens. As of March 31, 2013, we could have distributed up to approximately $1,135.3 million to our parent company and sole stockholder, Cinemark Holdings, under the terms of the indenture to the Senior Subordinated Notes, subject to our available cash and other borrowing restrictions outlined in the indenture. Upon a change of control, as defined in the indenture, we would be required to make an offer to repurchase the Senior Subordinated Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, through the date of repurchase. The indenture governing the Senior Subordinated Notes allows us to incur additional indebtedness if we satisfy the coverage ratio specified in the indenture, after giving effect to the incurrence of the additional indebtedness, and in certain other circumstances. The required minimum coverage ratio is 2 to 1, and our actual ratio as of March 31, 2013 was 5.2 to 1.

Prior to June 15, 2016, we may redeem all or any part of the Senior Subordinated Notes at our option at 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium plus accrued and unpaid interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes to the date of redemption. After June 15, 2016, we may redeem the Senior Subordinated Notes in whole or in part at redemption prices specified in the indenture. In addition, prior to June 15, 2014, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Notes from the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at the redemption price set forth in the indenture.

We and our guarantors filed a registration statement with the Commission on July 27, 2011, pursuant to which we offered to exchange the Senior Subordinated Notes for substantially similar Senior Subordinated Notes registered under the Securities Act. The registration statement was declared effective on August 4, 2011, and approximately $199.5 million of the notes were exchanged on September 7, 2011.

The following is a summary of material U.S. federal income tax consequences of the exchange of Initial Notes for Exchange Notes pursuant to this Exchange Offer, but does not purport to be a complete analysis of all potential tax considerations. This summary is based upon the Code, the Treasury Regulations promulgated or proposed thereunder, and administrative and judicial interpretations thereof, all as of the date hereof and all of which are subject to change, possibly on a retroactive basis.

This summary is limited to the tax consequences of those persons who are original beneficial owners of the Initial Notes, who exchange Initial Notes for Exchange Notes in this exchange offer, and that will hold the Exchange Notes, as capital assets within the meaning of Section 1221 of the Code, which we refer to as Holders. This summary does not purport to deal with all aspects of U.S. federal income taxation that might be relevant to particular Holders in light of their particular circumstances or status nor does it address specific tax consequences that may be relevant to particular persons (including, for example, financial institutions, broker-dealers, insurance companies, partnerships or other pass-through entities, expatriates, banks, real estate investment trusts, regulated investment companies, tax-exempt organizations and persons that have a functional currency other than the U.S. Dollar, or persons in special situations, such as those who have elected to mark securities to market or those who Initial Notes as part of a straddle, hedge, conversion transaction or other integrated investment).

The Exchange Notes described herein will not differ materially in kind or extent from the Initial Notes.

CERTAIN ERISA CONSIDERATIONS

The following is a summary of certain considerations associated with the exchange of the Initial Notes for the Exchange Notes and the holding of the Exchange Notes by employee benefit plans that are (1) subject to Title I of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or ERISA, (2) plans, individual retirement accounts and other arrangements that are subject to Section 4975 of the Code or provisions under any other federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of ERISA or the Code, or collectively Similar Laws, and (3) entities whose underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” of any such plan, account or arrangement. Each of (1), (2) and (3) is referred to herein as a Plan.

General Fiduciary Matters

ERISA and the Code impose certain duties on persons who are fiduciaries of a Plan subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or an ERISA Plan, and prohibit certain transactions involving the assets of an ERISA Plan and its fiduciaries or other interested parties. Under ERISA and the Code, any person who exercises any discretionary authority or control over the administration of such an ERISA Plan or the management or disposition of the assets of such an ERISA Plan, or who renders investment advice for a fee or other compensation to such an ERISA Plan, is generally considered to be a fiduciary of the ERISA Plan.

In considering an investment in the Exchange Notes of a portion of the assets of any Plan, a fiduciary should determine whether the investment is in accordance with the documents and instruments governing the Plan and the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code or any Similar Law relating to a fiduciary’s duties to the Plan including, without limitation, the prudence, diversification, delegation of control and prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other applicable Similar Laws.

Prohibited Transaction Issues

Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit ERISA Plans from engaging in specified transactions involving plan assets with persons or entities who are “parties in interest,” within the meaning of ERISA, or “disqualified persons,” within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code, unless an exemption is available. A party in interest or disqualified person who engaged in a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to excise taxes and other penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code. In addition, the fiduciary of the ERISA Plan that engaged in such a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code. The acquisition and/or holding of Exchange Notes by an ERISA Plan with respect to which we or our guarantors or the initial purchasers are considered a party in interest or a disqualified person may constitute or result in a direct or indirect prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code, unless the investment is acquired and is held in accordance with an applicable statutory, class or individual prohibited transaction exemption.

In this regard, the U.S. Department of Labor has issued prohibited transaction class exemptions, or PTCEs, that may apply to the acquisition and holding of the Exchange Notes. These class exemptions include, without limitation, PTCE 84-14 respecting transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers, PTCE 90-1 respecting insurance company pooled separate accounts, PTCE 91-38 respecting bank collective investment funds, PTCE 95-60 respecting life insurance company general accounts and PTCE 96-23 respecting transactions determined by in-house asset managers. In addition, Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code provide a statutory exemption from the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code for certain transactions between an ERISA Plan and a person that is a party in interest or a disqualified person (other than a fiduciary or an affiliate that, directly or indirectly, has or exercises any discretionary authority or control or renders any investment advice with respect to the assets of any ERISA Plan involved in the transaction) solely by reason of providing services to the Plan or by relationship to a service provider, as long as the ERISA Plan receives no less, and pays no more, than adequate consideration in connection with the transaction. There can be no assurance that all of the conditions of any such exemptions will be satisfied.

 

169


Table of Contents

Because of the foregoing, the Exchange Notes should not be acquired or held by any person investing “plan assets” of any Plan, unless such acquisition and holding will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA and the Code or similar violation of any applicable Similar Laws.

Representation

Accordingly, by acceptance of an Exchange Note, each holder of the Initial Notes and subsequent transferee will be deemed to have represented and warranted that either (i) no portion of the assets used by such holder of the Initial Notes or transferee to acquire or hold the Exchange Notes constitutes assets of any Plan or (ii) the purchase and holding of the Exchange Notes by such holder or transferee will not constitute a non-exempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a similar violation under any applicable Similar Laws.

The foregoing discussion is general in nature and is not intended to be all inclusive. Due to the complexity of these rules and the penalties that may be imposed upon persons involved in non-exempt prohibited transactions, it is particularly important that fiduciaries, or other persons considering exchanging their Initial Notes for the Exchange Notes on behalf of, or with the assets of, any Plan, consult with their counsel regarding the potential applicability of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code and any Similar Laws to such investment and whether an exemption would be applicable to the exchange of Initial Notes for Exchange Notes and the holding and disposition of the Exchange Notes.

Holders of the Initial Notes have the exclusive responsibility for ensuring that their exchange of Initial Notes for Exchange Notes and holding of the Exchange Notes comply with the fiduciary responsibility rules of ERISA and do not violate the prohibited transaction rules of ERISA, the Code or applicable Similar Laws.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

Based on interpretations of the Commission set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties, we believe that the Exchange Notes issued under the exchange offer in exchange for Initial Notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by you without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided:

 

   

you are not an “affiliate” of ours within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act;

 

   

you are acquiring the Exchange Notes in the ordinary course of your business; and

 

   

you do not intend to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Notes.

If you tender Initial Notes in the exchange offer with the intention of participating in any manner in a distribution of the Exchange Notes:

 

   

you cannot rely on the above interpretations of the Commission; and

 

   

you must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction, and the secondary resale transaction must be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling security holder information required by Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.

Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the Exchange Notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Notes received in exchange for Initial Notes where such Initial Notes were acquired as a result of market-marking activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that, for a period of 12 months after the effective date of this prospectus, we will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale.

We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of the Exchange Notes by broker-dealers. Exchange Notes received by broker-dealers for their own accounts pursuant to the exchange offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the Exchange Notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer and/or the purchasers of any such Exchange Notes. Any broker-dealer that resells Exchange Notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such Exchange Notes may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on any such resale Exchange Notes and any commissions or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The Letter of Transmittal states that, by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.

For a period of twelve months after the effective date of this prospectus, we will promptly send additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment to this prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents. We have agreed, in connection with the exchange offer, to indemnify the holders of Notes against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

By acceptance of the exchange offer, each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes pursuant to the exchange offer hereby agrees to notify us prior to using the prospectus in connection with the sale or transfer of Exchange Notes, and acknowledges and agrees that, upon receipt of notice from us of the happening of any event

which makes any statement in the prospectus untrue in any material respect or which requires the making of any changes in the prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading (which notice we agree to deliver promptly to such broker-dealer), such broker-dealer will suspend use of the prospectus until we have amended or supplemented the prospectus to correct such misstatement or omission and has furnished copies of the amended or supplemented prospectus to such broker-dealer.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Board of Directors of

Cinemark USA, Inc.

Plano, Texas

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cinemark USA, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Cinemark Holdings, Inc., as of December 31, 2011 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cinemark USA, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2011 and 2012, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Business—Cinemark USA, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Cinemark Holdings, Inc., is a leader in the motion picture exhibition industry, with theatres in the United States (“U.S.”), Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Guatemala. The Company also managed additional theatres in the U.S., Brazil, and Colombia during the year ended December 31, 2012.

Principles of Consolidation—The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cinemark USA, Inc., its subsidiaries and its affiliates. Majority-owned subsidiaries that the Company has control of are consolidated while those affiliates of which the Company owns between 20% and 50% and does not control are accounted for under the equity method. Those affiliates of which the Company owns less than 20% are generally accounted for under the cost method, unless the Company is deemed to have the ability to exercise significant influence over the affiliate, in which case the Company would account for its investment under the equity method. The results of these subsidiaries and affiliates are included in the consolidated financial statements effective with their formation or from their dates of acquisition. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents—Cash and cash equivalents consist of operating funds held in financial institutions, petty cash held by the theatres and highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less when purchased. Cash investments were primarily in money market funds or other similar funds.

Accounts Receivable—Accounts receivable, which are recorded at net realizable value, consists primarily of receivables related to screen advertising, receivables related to discounted tickets sold to retail locations, rebates earned from the Company’s beverage and other concession vendors and value-added and other tax receivables.

Inventories—Concession and theatre supplies inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.

Theatre Properties and Equipment—Theatre properties and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

 

Category

  

Useful Life

Buildings on owned land

   40 years

Buildings on leased land

   Lesser of lease term or useful life

Land and buildings under capital lease

   Lesser of lease term or useful life

Theatre furniture and equipment

   5 to 15 years

Leasehold improvements

   Lesser of lease term or useful life

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment indicators on a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable.

The Company considers actual theatre level cash flows, future years budgeted theatre level cash flows, theatre property and equipment carrying values, amortizing intangible asset carrying values, the age of a recently built theatre, competitive theatres in the marketplace, the impact of recent ticket price changes, available lease renewal options and other factors considered relevant in its assessment of impairment of individual theatre assets. Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment on an individual theatre basis, which the Company believes is the

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In thousands, except share and per share data

 

lowest applicable level for which there are identifiable cash flows. The impairment evaluation is based on the estimated undiscounted cash flows from continuing use through the remainder of the theatre’s useful life. The remainder of the theatre’s useful life correlates with the available remaining lease period, which includes the probability of renewal periods for leased properties and for fee owned properties, the lesser of twenty years or the building’s remaining useful life. If the estimated undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover a long-lived asset’s carrying value, the Company then compares the carrying value of the asset group (theatre) with its estimated fair value. When estimated fair value is determined to be lower than the carrying value of the asset group (theatre), the asset group (theatre) is written down to its estimated fair value. Significant judgment is involved in estimating cash flows and fair value. Management’s estimates, which fall under Level 3 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820-10-35, are based on historical and projected operating performance, recent market transactions and current industry trading multiples. Fair value is determined based on a multiple of cash flows, which was six and a half times for the evaluations performed during 2010, 2011 and 2012. The long-lived asset impairment charges recorded during each of the periods presented are specific to theatres that were directly and individually impacted by increased competition, adverse changes in market demographics, or adverse changes in the development or the conditions of the areas surrounding the theatre. See Note 9.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets—Goodwill is the excess of cost over fair value of theatre businesses acquired. Goodwill is evaluated for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill may not be fully recoverable. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level and has allocated goodwill to the reporting unit based on an estimate of its relative fair value. Management considers the reporting unit to be each of its sixteen regions in the U.S. and each of its eight international countries (Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Guatemala are considered one reporting unit). Goodwill impairment is evaluated using a two-step approach requiring the Company to compute the fair value of a reporting unit and compare it with its carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a second step is performed to measure the potential goodwill impairment. Significant judgment is involved in estimating cash flows and fair value. Management’s estimates, which fall under Level 3 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35, are based on historical and projected operating performance, recent market transactions, and current industry trading multiples. Fair value is determined based on a multiple of cash flows, which was six and a half times for the evaluation performed during 2010 and seven and a half times for the evaluations performed during 2011 and 2012.

Indefinite-lived tradename intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be fully recoverable. The Company estimates the fair value of its tradenames by applying an estimated market royalty rate that could be charged for the use of the Company’s tradename to forecasted future revenues, with an adjustment for the present value of such royalties. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value, the tradename intangible asset is written down to its estimated fair value. Significant judgment is involved in estimating market royalty rates and long-term revenue forecasts. Management’s estimates, which fall under Level 3 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35, are based on historical and projected revenue performance and industry trends.

The table below summarizes the Company’s intangible assets and the amortization method used for each type of intangible asset:

 

Intangible Asset

  

Amortization Method

Goodwill

   Indefinite-lived

Tradename

   Indefinite-lived

Vendor contracts

   Straight-line method over the terms of the underlying contracts. The remaining terms of the underlying contracts range from 1 to 10 years.

Favorable/unfavorable leases

   Based on the pattern in which the economic benefits are realized over the terms of the lease agreements. The remaining terms of the lease agreements range from 1 to 24 years.

Other intangible assets

   Straight-line method over the terms of the underlying agreement or the expected useful life of the intangible asset. The remaining useful lives of these intangible assets range from 1 to 8 years.

Deferred Charges and Other Assets—Deferred charges and other assets consist of debt issue costs, long-term prepaid rents, construction related deposits, lease deposits, equipment to be placed in service, and other assets of a long-term nature. Debt issue costs are amortized using the straight-line method (which approximates the effective interest method) over the primary financing terms of the related debt agreement. Long-term prepaid rents represent prepayments of rent on operating leases. These payments are recognized as facility lease expense over the period for which the rent was paid in advance as outlined in the lease agreements. The amortization periods generally range from 1 to 10 years.

Lease Accounting—The Company evaluates each lease for classification as either a capital lease or an operating lease. If substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership have been transferred to the lessee, the Company records the lease as a capital lease at its inception. The Company performs this evaluation at the inception of the lease and when a modification is made to a lease. If the lease agreement calls for a scheduled rent increase during the lease term, the Company recognizes the lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company determines the straight-line rent expense impact of an operating lease upon inception of the lease. The landlord is typically responsible for constructing a theatre using guidelines and specifications agreed to by the Company and assumes substantially all of the risk of construction. If the Company concludes that it has substantially all of the construction period risks, it records a construction asset and related liability for the amount of total project costs incurred during the construction period. At the end of the construction period, the Company determines if the transaction qualifies for sale-leaseback accounting treatment in regards to lease classification. If the Company receives a lease incentive payment from a landlord, the Company records the proceeds as a deferred lease incentive liability and amortizes the liability as a reduction in rent expense over the initial term of the respective lease.

Deferred Revenues—Advances collected on long-term screen advertising, concession and other contracts are recorded as deferred revenues. In accordance with the terms of the agreements, the advances collected on such contracts are recognized during the period in which the advances are earned, which may differ from the period in which the advances are collected. Revenues related to these advances are recognized on either a straight-line basis over the term of the contracts or as such revenues are earned in accordance with the terms of the contracts.

Insurance Reserves—The Company is self-insured for general liability claims subject to an annual cap. For the year ended December 31, 2012, claims were capped at $250 per occurrence with an annual cap of approximately $2,650. The Company is also self-insured for medical claims up to $125 per occurrence. The

Company is fully insured for workers compensation claims. As of December 31, 2011 and 2012, the Company’s insurance reserves were $7,600 and $7,693, respectively, and are reflected in accrued other current liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets.

Revenue and Expense Recognition—Revenues are recognized when admissions and concession sales are received at the box office. Other revenues primarily consist of screen advertising. Screen advertising revenues are recognized over the period that the related advertising is delivered on-screen or in-theatre. The Company records proceeds from the sale of gift cards and other advanced sale-type certificates in current liabilities and recognizes admissions or concession revenue when a holder redeems the card or certificate. The Company recognizes unredeemed gift cards and other advanced sale-type certificates as revenue only after such a period of time indicates, based on historical experience, the likelihood of redemption is remote, and based on applicable laws and regulations. In evaluating the likelihood of redemption, the Company considers the period outstanding, the level and frequency of activity, and the period of inactivity. As of December 31, 2011 and 2012, the Company’s liabilities for advanced sale-type certificates were approximately $41,611 and $46,063, respectively, and are reflected in accrued other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. The Company recognized unredeemed gift cards and other advanced sale-type certificates as revenues in the amount of $7,073, $7,846 and $9,093 during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively.

Film rental costs are accrued based on the applicable box office receipts and either mutually agreed upon firm terms or a sliding scale formula, which are generally established prior to the opening of the film, or estimates of the final mutually agreed upon settlement, which occurs at the conclusion of the film run, subject to the film licensing arrangement. Under a firm terms formula, the Company pays the distributor a mutually agreed upon specified percentage of box office receipts, which reflects either a mutually agreed upon aggregate rate for the life of the film or rates that decline over the term of the run. Under a sliding scale formula, film rental is paid as a percentage of box office revenues using a pre-determined matrix based upon box office performance of the film. The settlement process allows for negotiation of film rental fees upon the conclusion of the film run based upon how the film performs. Estimates are based on the expected success of a film. The success of a film can typically be determined a few weeks after a film is released when initial box office performance of the film is known. Accordingly, final settlements typically approximate estimates since box office receipts are known at the time the estimate is made and the expected success of a film can typically be estimated early in the film’s run. If actual settlements are different than those estimates, film rental costs are adjusted at that time.

Accounting for Share Based Awards—The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award on the date of the grant. The grant date fair value is estimated using either an option-pricing model, consistent with the terms of the award, or a market observed price, if such a price exists. Such costs are recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (which is usually the vesting period). The Company also estimates the number of instruments that will ultimately be forfeited. See Note 17 for discussion of the Company’s share based awards and related compensation expense.

Income Taxes—The Company participates in the consolidated tax return of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. However, the Company’s provision for income taxes is computed on a stand-alone basis. The Company uses an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided when tax laws and financial accounting standards differ with respect to the amount of income for a year and the basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amount of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized. Income taxes are provided on unremitted earnings from foreign subsidiaries unless such earnings are expected to be indefinitely reinvested. Income taxes have also been provided for potential tax assessments. The evaluation of an uncertain tax position is a two-step process. The first step is recognition: The Company determines whether it is more likely than not

 

F-12


Table of Contents

CINEMARK USA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

In thousands, except share and per share data

 

that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. In evaluating whether a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company should presume that the position would be examined by the appropriate taxing authority that would have full knowledge of all relevant information. The second step is measurement: A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements result in (1) a change in a liability for income taxes payable or (2) a change in an income tax refund receivable, a deferred tax asset or a deferred tax liability or both (1) and (2). The Company accrues interest and penalties on its uncertain tax positions as a component of income tax expense.

Segments—For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, the Company managed its business under two reportable operating segments, U.S. markets and international markets. See Note 21.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Foreign Currency Translations—The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates as of the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at average monthly exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in the consolidated balance sheets in accumulated other comprehensive loss. The Company recognizes foreign currency transaction gains and losses when changes in exchange rates impact transactions, other than intercompany transactions of a long-term investment nature, that have been denominated in a currency other than the functional currency.

Fair Value Measurements—According to authoritative guidance, inputs used in fair value measurements fall into three different categories; Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the reporting entity has the ability to access at the measurement date. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The Company has interest rate swap agreements and investments in marketable securities that are adjusted to fair value on a recurring basis (quarterly). With respect to its interest rate swap agreements, the Company uses the income approach to determine the fair value of its interest rate swap agreements and under this approach, the Company uses projected future interest rates as provided by the counterparties to the interest rate swap agreements and the fixed rates that the Company is obligated to pay under these agreements. Therefore, the Company’s fair value measurements for its interest rate swaps use significant unobservable inputs, which fall in Level 3. With respect to its investments in marketable securities, the Company uses quoted market prices, which fall under Level 1 of the hierarchy. There were no changes in valuation techniques during the period and no transfers in or out of Level 1, Level 2 or Level 3 during the year ended December 31, 2012. See Note 12 for further discussion of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements and Note 13 for further discussion of the Company’s fair value measurements. The Company also uses fair value measurements on a nonrecurring basis, primarily in the impairment evaluations for goodwill, intangible assets and other long-lived assets. See Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets and Theatre Properties and Equipment included above for discussion of such fair value measurements.

Acquisitions—The Company accounts for acquisitions under the acquisition method of accounting. The acquisition method requires that the acquired assets and liabilities, including contingencies, be recorded at fair value determined on the acquisition date and changes thereafter reflected in income. For significant acquisitions, the Company obtains independent third party valuation studies for certain of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed to assist the Company in determining fair value. The estimation of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed involves a number of estimates and assumptions that could differ materially from the actual amounts realized. The Company provides assumptions, including both quantitative and qualitative information, about the specified asset or liability to the third party valuation firms. The Company primarily utilizes the third parties to accumulate comparative data from multiple sources and assemble a report that summarizes the information obtained. The Company then uses the information to record estimated fair value. The third party valuation firms are supervised by Company personnel who are knowledgeable about valuations and fair value. The Company evaluates the appropriateness of the assumptions and valuation methodologies utilized by the third party valuation firm.

2. NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In July 2012, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment, an amendment to FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (“ASU 2012-02”). The update provides an entity with the option first to assess qualitative factors in determining whether it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. After assessing the qualitative factors, if an entity determines that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, the entity is not required to take further action. If an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test. ASU 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2012-02 to have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements.

3. ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS

Acquisition of Rave Theatres

During November 2012, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Rave Real Property Holdco, LLC and certain of its subsidiaries, Rave Cinemas, LLC and RC Processing, LLC (collectively “Rave”), pursuant to which the Company will acquire 32 theatres with 483 screens located in 12 states. The estimated purchase price is approximately $240,000. The purchase price, the amount of which is subject to certain closing date adjustments, will consist of cash consideration and the assumption of certain liabilities. The transaction is expected to close during the first quarter of 2013, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions for transactions of this type, including Department of Justice or Federal Trade Commission antitrust approval.

Acquisition of Argentina Theatres

During August 2011, the Company acquired ten theatres with 95 screens from Hoyts General Cinema South America, Inc. in a stock purchase for approximately $66,958 in cash. The acquisition resulted in an expansion of the Company’s international theatre base. The Company incurred approximately $200 in transaction costs, which are reflected in general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2011. The transaction was accounted for by applying the acquisition method.

Canada Dispositions

During November 2010, the Company sold its one theatre in Canada for approximately $6,320 in cash proceeds and recorded a gain on sale of assets and other of approximately $7,025, which also reflected the write-off of a deferred rent liability related to the theatre.

During November 2010, the Company also sold its interest in a profit sharing agreement related to a previously sold Canadian property. The Company received proceeds of approximately $8,493 and recorded a gain on sale of assets and other.

4. INVESTMENT IN NATIONAL CINEMEDIA LLC

The Company has an investment in National CineMedia, LLC (“NCM”). NCM operates a digital in-theatre network in the U.S. for providing cinema advertising and non-film events. Upon joining NCM, the Company entered into an Exhibitor Services Agreement, or the ESA, with NCM, pursuant to which NCM provides advertising, promotion and event services to our theatres. On February 13, 2007, National CineMedia, Inc. (“NCMI”), an entity that serves as the sole manager of NCM, completed an IPO of its common stock. In connection with the NCMI initial public offering, the Company amended its operating agreement and the ESA with NCMI. The ESA modification reflected a shift from circuit share expense under the prior ESA, which obligated NCM to pay the Company a percentage of revenue, to a monthly theatre access fee, which significantly reduced the contractual amounts paid to us by NCM. The Company recorded the proceeds related to the ESA modification as deferred revenue, which is being amortized into other revenues over the life of the agreement using the units of revenue method. In consideration for NCM’s exclusive access to the Company’s theatre attendees for on-screen advertising and use of off-screen areas within the Company’s theatres for lobby entertainment and lobby promotions, the Company receives a monthly theatre access fee under the modified ESA. The theatre access fee is composed of a fixed payment per patron, initially seven cents, and a fixed payment per digital screen, which may be adjusted for certain reasons outlined in the modified ESA. The payment per theatre patron increases by 8% every five years, with the first such increase taking effect after the end of fiscal 2011, and the payment per digital screen, initially eight hundred dollars per digital screen per year, increases annually by 5%. For 2010, 2011 and 2012, the annual payment per digital screen was nine hundred

twenty-six dollars, nine hundred seventy-two dollars and one thousand twenty-one dollars, respectively. The theatre access fee paid in the aggregate to Regal Entertainment Group (“Regal”), AMC Entertainment, Inc. (“AMC”) and the Company will not be less than 12% of NCM’s Aggregate Advertising Revenue (as defined in the modified ESA), or it will be adjusted upward to reach this minimum payment. Additionally, with respect to any on-screen advertising time provided to the Company’s beverage concessionaire, the Company is required to purchase such time from NCM at a negotiated rate. The modified ESA has, except with respect to certain limited services, a remaining term of approximately 24 years.

As a result of the application of a portion of the proceeds it received from the NCMI initial public offering, the Company had a negative basis in its original membership units in NCM, which is referred to herein as the Company’s Tranche 1 Investment. Following the NCM, Inc. IPO, the Company does not recognize undistributed equity in the earnings on its Tranche 1 Investment until NCM’s future net earnings, less distributions received, surpass the amount of the excess distribution. The Company recognizes equity in earnings on its Tranche 1 Investment only to the extent it receives cash distributions from NCM. The Company recognizes cash distributions it receives from NCM on its Tranche 1 Investment as a component of earnings as Distributions from NCM. The Company believes that the accounting model provided by ASC 323-10-35-22 for recognition of equity investee losses in excess of an investor’s basis is analogous to the accounting for equity income subsequent to recognizing an excess distribution.

Common Unit Adjustments

Pursuant to a Common Unit Adjustment Agreement dated as of February 13, 2007 between NCMI and the Company, AMC and Regal, which we refer to collectively as the Founding Members, annual adjustments to the common membership units are made primarily based on increases or decreases in the number of theatre screens operated and theatre attendance generated by each Founding Member. To account for the receipt of additional common units under the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement, we follow the guidance in FASB ASC 323-10-35-29 (formerly EITF 02-18, “Accounting for Subsequent Investments in an Investee after Suspension of Equity Loss Recognition”) by analogy, which also refers to AICPA Technical Practice Aid 2220.14, which indicates that if a subsequent investment is made in an equity method investee that has experienced significant losses, the investor must determine if the subsequent investment constitutes funding of prior losses. We concluded that the construction or acquisition of new theatres that has led to the common unit adjustments equates to making additional investments in NCM. We evaluated the receipt of the additional common units in NCM and the assets exchanged for these additional units and have determined that the right to use our incremental new screens would not be considered funding of prior losses. We account for these additional common units, which we refer to herein as our Tranche 2 Investment, as a separate investment than our Tranche 1 Investment. The common units received are recorded at fair value as an increase in our investment in NCM with an offset to deferred revenue. The deferred revenue is amortized over the remaining term of the ESA. Our Tranche 2 Investment is accounted for following the equity method, with undistributed equity earnings related to our Tranche 2 Investment included as a component of earnings in equity in income (loss) of affiliates and distributions received related to our Tranche 2 Investment are recorded as a reduction of our investment basis. In the event that a common unit adjustment is determined to be a negative number, the Founding Member can elect to either transfer and surrender to NCM the number of common units equal to all or part of such Founding Member’s common unit adjustment or to pay to NCM an amount equal to such Founding Member’s common unit adjustment calculated in accordance with the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement. If the Company then elects to surrender common units as part of a negative common unit adjustment, the Company would record a reduction to deferred revenue at the then fair value of the common units surrendered and a reduction of the Company’s Tranche 2 Investment at an amount equal to the weighted average cost for Tranche 2 common units, with the difference between the two values recorded as a gain or loss on sale of assets and other.

During March 2010, NCM performed its annual common unit adjustment calculation under the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement. As a result of the calculation, the Company received an additional 1,757,548 common units of NCM, each of which is convertible into one share of NCM, Inc. common stock. The Company recorded the additional common units received at fair value as part of its Tranche 2 Investment with a corresponding adjustment to deferred revenue of $30,683. Subsequent to the annual common unit adjustment discussed above, in May 2010, one of NCM’s other founding members completed an acquisition of another theatre circuit that required an extraordinary common unit adjustment calculation by NCM in accordance with the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement. As a result of this extraordinary common unit adjustment, the founding member was granted additional common units of NCM, which resulted in dilution of the Company’s ownership interest in NCM. The Company recognized a change of interest gain of approximately $271 during the year ended December 31, 2010 as a result of this extraordinary common unit adjustment, which is reflected in (gain) loss on sale of assets and other on the consolidated statement of income.

During March 2011, NCM performed its annual common unit adjustment calculation under the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement. As a result of the calculation, the Company received an additional 549,417 common units of NCM, each of which is convertible into one share of NCM, Inc. common stock. The Company recorded the additional common units received at fair value as part of its Tranche 2 Investment with a corresponding adjustment to deferred revenue of approximately $9,302.

During March 2012, NCM performed its annual common unit adjustment calculation under the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement. As a result of the calculation, the Company received an additional 598,724 common units of NCM, each of which is convertible into one share of NCM, Inc. common stock. The Company recorded the additional common units received at fair value as part of its Tranche 2 Investment with a corresponding adjustment to deferred revenue of approximately $9,137.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company owned a total of 18,094,644 common units of NCM, which represented an approximate 16% interest. Each common unit is convertible into one share of NCMI common stock. The estimated fair value of the Company’s investment in NCM was approximately $255,677 as of December 31, 2012, using NCMI’s stock price as of December 31, 2012 of $14.13 per share.

On March 10, 2010, the Company signed a master equipment lease agreement and other related agreements (collectively the “Agreements”) with Kasima LLC (“Kasima”), which is an indirect subsidiary of DCIP and a related party to the Company. Upon signing the Agreements, the Company contributed the majority of its U.S. digital projection systems at a fair value of $16,380 to DCIP, which DCIP then contributed to Kasima. The net book value of the contributed equipment was approximately $18,090, and as a result, the Company recorded a loss of approximately $1,710, which is reflected in (gain) loss on sale of assets and other on the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2010. During April 2010, the Company sold additional U.S. digital projection systems with a net book value of approximately $1,520 to Kasima for approximately $1,197, resulting in an additional loss of approximately $323, which is reflected in (gain) loss on sale of assets and other on the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2010. During 2011, the Company sold additional U.S. digital projection systems with a net book value of approximately $3,777 to DCIP for approximately $2,739, resulting in a loss of approximately $1,038, which is reflected in (gain) loss on sale of assets and other on the consolidated statement of income for the year ended December 31, 2011.

The Company has a variable interest in Kasima through the terms of its master equipment lease agreement; however, the Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of Kasima, as the Company does not have the ability to direct the activities of Kasima that most significantly impact Kasima’s economic performance.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company had a 33% voting interest in DCIP and a 24.3% economic interest in DCIP. The Company accounts for its investment in DCIP and its subsidiaries under the equity method of accounting. Below is a rollforward of our investment in DCIP from January 1, 2010 through December 31, 2012:

As a result of the Agreements, the Company has installed digital projection systems to a majority of its first run U.S. theatres. The digital projection systems are being leased from Kasima under an operating lease with an initial term of twelve years that contains ten one-year fair value renewal options. The equipment lease agreement also contains a fair value purchase option. Under the equipment lease agreement, the Company pays minimum annual rent of one thousand dollars per digital projection system for the first six and a half years from the effective date of the agreement and minimum annual rent of three thousand dollars per digital projection system beginning at six and a half years from the effective date through the end of the lease term. The Company may also be subject to various types of other rent if such digital projection systems do not meet minimum performance requirements as outlined in the agreements. Certain of the other rent payments are subject to either a monthly or an annual maximum. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had 3,515 digital projection systems being leased under the master equipment lease agreement with Kasima. The Company recorded equipment lease expense of approximately $1,354, $5,332 and $7,802 during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively, which is included in utilities and other costs on the consolidated statements of income.

The digital projection systems leased from Kasima replaced a majority of the Company’s existing 35 millimeter projection systems in its U.S. theatres. Therefore, upon signing the agreements, the Company began accelerating the depreciation of these existing 35 millimeter projection systems. The Company recorded depreciation expense of approximately $9,423 and $10,604 on its domestic 35 millimeter projection systems during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2011. The Company’s domestic 35 millimeter projection systems were fully depreciated as of December 31, 2011.

6. INVESTMENT IN REALD

The Company licenses 3-D systems from RealD. Under its license agreement with RealD, the Company earned options to purchase shares of RealD common stock as it installed a certain number of 3-D systems as outlined in the license agreement. During 2010, the Company earned a total of 1,085,828 options to purchase shares of common stock in RealD. Upon vesting in these options, the Company recorded a total investment in RealD of approximately $18,909, which represented the estimated aggregate fair value of the options, with an offset to deferred lease incentive liability. The fair value of the RealD options in which the company vested during the year ended December 31, 2010, as discussed above, was determined using the quoted market price of RealD’s stock adjusted for the lock-up period to which the Company was subject until January 2011, which fell under Level 2 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by ASC Topic 820-10-35.

During January, February and March 2011, the Company vested in an additional 136,952 RealD options in the aggregate by reaching additional target levels, as outlined in the license agreement. Upon vesting in these additional options, the Company recorded an increase in its investment in RealD and its deferred lease incentive liability of approximately $3,402, which represented the estimated fair value of the RealD options. The fair value measurements were based upon RealD’s quoted stock prices on the dates of vesting. These fair value measurements fall under Level 1 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by ASC Topic 820-10-35.

During March 2011, the Company exercised all of its options to purchase shares of common stock in RealD for $0.00667 per share. The Company accounts for its investment in RealD as a marketable security. The Company has determined that its RealD shares are available-for-sale securities in accordance with ASC Topic 320-10-35-1, therefore unrealized holding gains and losses are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss until realized. The deferred lease incentive liability recorded as a result of the option vesting events discussed above is reflected in other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and is being amortized over the term of the license agreement, which is approximately seven and one-half years. The license agreement has a remaining term of approximately six years.

During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recognized an other-than-temporary impairment on its investment in RealD due to the length of time and extent to which RealD’s quoted stock price had been below the Company’s basis in the stock. As a result of the other-than-temporary impairment, the Company reclassified approximately $12,610, which represented cumulative net unrealized holding losses, from accumulated other comprehensive loss to earnings.

As of December 31, 2012, the Company owned 1,222,780 shares in RealD, with an estimated fair value of $13,707. The fair value of the RealD shares was determined based upon the quoted price of RealD’s common stock on December 31, 2012, which falls under Level 1 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by ASC Topic 820-10-35. During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, the Company recorded a pre-tax unrealized holding gain (loss) of approximately $9,084, $(21,694) and $3,998, respectively, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss.

7. SHARE EXCHANGES WITH AND PURCHASES OF NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

During April 2010, the Company’s partners in Colombia (the “Colombian Partners”) exercised an option available to them under an Exchange Option Agreement dated April 9, 2007 between Cinemark Holdings, Inc. and the Colombian Partners. Under this option, which was contingent upon completion of an initial public offering of common stock by Cinemark Holdings, Inc., the Colombian Partners were entitled to exchange their shares in Cinemark Colombia S.A. for shares of Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s common stock (the “Colombia Share Exchange”). The number of shares to be exchanged was determined based on Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s equity value and the equity value of the Colombian Partners’ interest in Cinemark Colombia S.A., both of which are defined in the Exchange Option Agreement.

costs of approximately $12,000 during the year ended December 31, 2012 related to the amendment and restatement. The term loan under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility matures in December 2019. The revolving credit line, which was undrawn at closing and remained undrawn as of December 31, 2012, matures in December 2017. Quarterly principal payments in the amount of $1,750 are due on the term loan beginning March 2013 through September 2019 with the remaining principal of $652,750 due on December 18, 2019.

Interest on the term loan accrues at Cinemark USA, Inc.’s option at: (A) the base rate equal to the higher of (1) the prime lending rate as set forth on the British Banking Association Telerate page 5, or (2) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50%, plus a margin of 2.0% per annum, or (B) a “eurodollar rate” plus a margin of 3.0% per annum. Interest on the revolving credit line accrues, at Cinemark USA, Inc.’s option, at: (A) a base rate equal to the higher of (1) the prime lending rate as set forth on the British Banking Association Telerate page 5 and (2) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50%, plus a margin that ranges from 1.00% to 1.75% per annum, or (B) a “eurodollar rate” plus a margin that ranges from 2.00% to 2.75% per annum. The margin of the revolving credit line is determined by the consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio as defined in the credit agreement.

Cinemark USA, Inc.’s obligations under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility are guaranteed by Cinemark Holdings, Inc. and certain of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s domestic subsidiaries and are secured by mortgages on certain fee and leasehold properties and security interests in substantially all of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s and the guarantors’ personal property, including, without limitation, pledges of all of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s capital stock, all of the capital stock of certain of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the voting stock of certain of its foreign subsidiaries.

The Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility contains usual and customary negative covenants for agreements of this type, including, but not limited to, restrictions on Cinemark USA, Inc.’s ability, and in certain instances, its subsidiaries’ and Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s ability, to consolidate or merge or liquidate, wind up or dissolve; substantially change the nature of its business; sell, transfer or dispose of assets; create or incur indebtedness; create liens; pay dividends, and repurchase stock; and make capital expenditures and investments. If Cinemark USA, Inc. has borrowings outstanding on the revolving credit line, it is required to satisfy a consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio covenant as determined in accordance with the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility.

The dividend restriction contained in the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility prevents the Company and any of its subsidiaries from paying a dividend or otherwise distributing cash to its stockholders unless (1) the Company is not in default, and the distribution would not cause the Company to be in default, under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility; and (2) the aggregate amount of certain dividends, distributions, investments, redemptions and capital expenditures made since December 18, 2012, including dividends declared by the board of directors, is less than the sum of (a) the aggregate amount of cash and cash equivalents received by Cinemark Holdings, Inc. or Cinemark USA, Inc. as common equity since December 18, 2012, (b) Cinemark USA, Inc.’s consolidated EBITDA minus 1.75 times its consolidated interest expense, each as defined in the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility, and (c) certain other defined amounts. As of December 31, 2012, Cinemark USA, Inc. could have distributed up to approximately $1,409,000 to its parent company and sole stockholder, Cinemark Holdings, Inc., under the terms of the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility, subject to its available cash and other borrowing restrictions outlined in the agreement.

At December 31, 2012, there was $700,000 outstanding under the term loan and no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit line. Cinemark USA, Inc. had $100,000 in available borrowing capacity on the revolving credit line. The average interest rate on outstanding term loan borrowings under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility at December 31, 2012 was approximately 4.0% per annum.

5.125% Senior Notes

On December 18, 2012, Cinemark USA, Inc. issued $400,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.125% senior notes due 2022, at par value, referred to herein as the 5.125% Senior Notes. A portion of the proceeds were used to refinance a portion of the Former Senior Secured Credit Facility and a portion of the proceeds are expected to be used to fund the purchase price for the Rave Acquisition (see Note 3) and for general corporate purposes. Interest on the 5.125% Senior Notes is payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning June 15, 2013. The senior notes mature on December 15, 2022. The Company incurred debt issue costs of approximately $6,400 in connection with the issuance during the year ended December 31, 2012.

The 5.125% Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior unsecured basis by certain of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s subsidiaries that guarantee, assume or become liable with respect to any of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s or a guarantor’s debt. The 5.125% Senior Notes and the guarantees are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s and its guarantor’s existing and future senior unsecured debt and senior in right of payment to all of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s and its guarantor’s existing and future subordinated debt. The 5.125% Senior Notes and the guarantees are effectively subordinated to all of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s and its guarantor’s existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt, including all borrowings under Cinemark USA, Inc.’s amended senior secured credit facility. The 5.125% Senior Notes and the guarantees are structurally subordinated to all existing and future debt and other liabilities of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the senior notes.

The indenture to the 5.125% Senior Notes contains covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of Cinemark USA, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries to (1) make investments or other restricted payments, including paying dividends, making other distributions or repurchasing subordinated debt or equity, (2) incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock, (3) enter into transactions with affiliates, (4) enter new lines of business, (5) merge or consolidate with, or sell all or substantially all of its assets to, another person and (6) create liens. As of December 31, 2012, Cinemark USA, Inc. could have distributed up to approximately $1,118,500 to its parent company and sole stockholder, Cinemark Holdings, Inc., under the terms of the indenture to the 5.125% Senior Notes, subject to its available cash and other borrowing restrictions outlined in the indenture. Upon a change of control of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. or Cinemark USA, Inc., Cinemark USA, Inc. would be required to make an offer to repurchase the 5.125% Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, through the date of repurchase. The indenture governing the 5.125% Senior Notes allows Cinemark USA, Inc. to incur additional indebtedness if it satisfies the coverage ratio specified in the indenture, after giving effect to the incurrence of the additional indebtedness, and in certain other circumstances. The required minimum coverage ratio is 2 to 1 and our actual ratio as of December 31, 2012 was 5.6 to 1.

Prior to December 15, 2017, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem all or any part of the 5.125% Senior Notes at its option at 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium. After December 15, 2017, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem the 5.125% Senior Notes in whole or in part at redemption prices described in the 5.125% Senior Notes. In addition, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 5.125% Senior Notes from the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at the redemption price set forth in the senior notes.

Under a registration rights agreement entered into in conjunction with the issuance of the 5.125% Senior Notes, the Company and its guarantor subsidiaries are obligated to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or the Commission, on or prior to 120

days from the issuance date, pursuant to which the Company will offer to exchange the 5.125% Senior Notes for substantially identical notes registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, that will not contain terms restricting the transfer thereof or providing for registration rights. The Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to have the registration statement declared effective by the Commission on or prior to 210 days from the issuance date, or the Effective Date. The Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to issue on the earliest practicable date after the Effective Date, but not later than 30 days thereafter, exchange registered 5.125% Senior Notes in exchange for all 5.125% Senior Notes tendered prior thereto in the exchange offer. If the Company is obligated to file a shelf registration statement, the Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to file the shelf registration statement with the Commission on or prior to 30 days after such filing obligation arises (and in any event within 240 days after the closing of the 5.125% Senior Notes offering) and to cause the shelf registration statement to be declared effective by the Commission on or prior to 210 days after such obligation arises. The Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to keep the shelf registration statement effective for a period of one year after the closing of the 5.125% Senior Notes offering, subject to certain exceptions.

If (a) the Company fails to file the registration statement on or before the date specified, (b) if such registration statement is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the date specified for such effectiveness, (c) if the Company fails to consummate the exchange offer within 30 business days of the Effective Date with respect to the exchange offer registration statement or (d) if the date the shelf registration statement is declared effective by the Commission or the exchange offer registration statement thereafter ceases to be effective or usable during the periods specified in the registration rights agreement without being succeeded within two business days by a post-effective amendment to such registration statement that cures such failure and that is itself immediately declared effective (each such event a “Registration Default”), the Company will pay additional interest to each holder of the 5.125% Senior Notes. Such additional interest, with respect to the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of any such Registration Default, shall equal an increase in the annual interest rate on the notes by 0.5% per annum.

The amount of the additional interest will increase by an additional 0.5% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period relating to such Registration Default until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum amount of additional interest for all Registration Defaults of 1.0% per annum. The 5.125% Senior Notes will not accrue additional interest from and after the second anniversary of the closing of the 5.125% Senior Notes offering even if the Company is not in compliance with its obligations under the registration rights agreement. The receipt of additional interest shall be the sole remedy available to holders of 5.125% Senior Notes as a result of one or more Registration Defaults. Following the cure of all Registration Defaults, the accrual of additional interest will cease.

7.375% Senior Subordinated Notes

On June 3, 2011, Cinemark USA, Inc. issued $200,000 aggregate principal amount of 7.375% senior subordinated notes due 2021, at par value, referred to herein as the Senior Subordinated Notes. The proceeds, after payment of fees, were primarily used to fund the prepayment of the remaining $157,235 of the Company’s unextended portion of term loan debt under its former senior secured credit facility. Interest on the Senior Subordinated Notes is payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The Senior Subordinated Notes mature on June 15, 2021. The Company incurred debt issue costs of approximately $4,500 during the year ended December 31, 2011 in connection with the issuance.

The Senior Subordinated Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior subordinated unsecured basis by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries that guarantee, assume or become liable with respect to any of the Company’s or a guarantor’s other debt. The Senior Subordinated Notes and the

guarantees are senior subordinated unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s and a guarantor’s future senior subordinated indebtedness; are subordinate in right of payment to all of the Company’s and a guarantor’s existing and future senior indebtedness, whether secured or unsecured, including the Company’s obligations under its Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility, its 8.625% Senior Notes and its 5.125% Senior Notes; and structurally subordinate to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries.

The indenture to the Senior Subordinated Notes contains covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of Cinemark USA, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries to (1) make investments or other restricted payments, including paying dividends, making other distributions or repurchasing subordinated debt or equity, (2) incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock, (3) enter into transactions with affiliates, (4) enter new lines of business, (5) merge or consolidate with, or sell all or substantially all of its assets to, another person and (6) create liens. As of December 31, 2012, Cinemark USA, Inc. could have distributed up to approximately $1,107,400 to its parent company and sole stockholder, Cinemark Holdings, Inc., under the terms of the indenture to the 7.375% Senior Notes, subject to its available cash and other borrowing restrictions outlined in the indenture. Upon a change of control, as defined in the indenture, the Company would be required to make an offer to repurchase the senior subordinated notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, through the date of repurchase. The indenture governing the Senior Subordinated Notes allows Cinemark USA, Inc. to incur additional indebtedness if it satisfies the coverage ratio specified in the indenture, after giving effect to the incurrence of the additional indebtedness, and in certain other circumstances. The required minimum coverage ratio is 2 to 1, and our actual ratio as of December 31, 2012 was 5.5 to 1.

Prior to June 15, 2016, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem all or any part of the Senior Subordinated Notes at its option at 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium plus accrued and unpaid interest on the senior subordinated notes to the date of redemption. After June 15, 2016, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem the Senior Subordinated Notes in whole or in part at redemption prices specified in the indenture. In addition, prior to June 15, 2014, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the Senior Subordinated Notes from the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at the redemption price set forth in the indenture.

Cinemark USA, Inc. and its guarantor subsidiaries filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on July 27, 2011 pursuant to which Cinemark USA, Inc. offered to exchange the Senior Subordinated Notes for substantially similar registered Senior Subordinated Notes. The registration statement became effective August 4, 2011, and approximately $199,500 of the notes were exchanged on September 7, 2011.

On June 29, 2009, Cinemark USA, Inc. issued $470,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.625% senior notes due 2019, referred to herein as the 8.625% Senior Notes, with an original issue discount of $11,468, resulting in proceeds of approximately $458,532. The proceeds were primarily used to fund the repurchase of the then remaining outstanding $419,403 aggregate principal amount at maturity of Cinemark, Inc.’s 9.75% senior discount notes. Interest on the 8.625% Senior Notes is payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year. The 8.625% Senior Notes mature on June 15, 2019. The original issue discount is being amortized on the effective interest method over the term of the 8.625% Senior Notes. As of December 31, 2012, the carrying value of the 8.625% Senior Notes was $461,464.

Cinemark USA, Inc. filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 24, 2009 pursuant to which Cinemark USA, Inc. offered to exchange the 8.625% Senior Notes for substantially similar registered 8.625% Senior Notes. The registration statement became effective and the notes were exchanged on December 17, 2009. The registered 8.625% Senior Notes, issued in the exchange, do not have transfer restrictions.

The 8.625% Senior Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior unsecured basis by certain of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s subsidiaries that guarantee, assume or become liable with respect to any of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s or a guarantor’s debt. The 8.625% Senior Notes and the guarantees are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s and its guarantor’s existing and future senior unsecured debt and senior in right of payment to all of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s and its guarantor’s existing and future subordinated debt. The 8.625% Senior Notes and the guarantees are effectively subordinated to all of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s and its guarantor’s existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt, including all borrowings under Cinemark USA, Inc.’s amended senior secured credit facility. The 8.625% Senior Notes and the guarantees are structurally subordinated to all existing and future debt and other liabilities of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the 8.625% Senior Notes.

The indenture to the 8.625% Senior Notes contains covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of Cinemark USA, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries to (1) consummate specified asset sales, (2) make investments or other restricted payments, including paying dividends, making other distributions or repurchasing subordinated debt or equity, (3) incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock, (4) enter into transactions with affiliates, (5) enter new lines of business, (6) merge or consolidate with, or sell all or substantially all of its assets to, another person and (7) create liens. As of December 31, 2012, Cinemark USA, Inc. could have distributed up to approximately $1,060,200 to its parent company and sole stockholder, Cinemark Holdings, Inc., under the terms of the indenture to the 8.625% Senior Notes, subject to its available cash and other borrowing restrictions outlined in the indenture. Upon a change of control of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. or Cinemark USA, Inc., Cinemark USA, Inc. would be required to make an offer to repurchase the 8.625% Senior Notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, through the date of repurchase. Certain asset dispositions are considered triggering events that may require Cinemark USA, Inc. to use the proceeds from those asset dispositions to make an offer to purchase the notes at 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase if such proceeds are not otherwise used within 365 days as described in the indenture. The indenture governing the 8.625% Senior Notes allows Cinemark USA, Inc. to incur additional indebtedness if it satisfies the coverage ratio specified in the indenture, after giving effect to the incurrence of the additional indebtedness, and in certain other circumstances. The required minimum coverage ratio is 2 to 1 and our actual ratio as of December 31, 2012 was 5.5 to 1.

Prior to June 15, 2014, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem all or any part of the 8.625% Senior Notes at its option at 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium. After June 15, 2014, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem the 8.625% Senior Notes in whole or in part at redemption prices described in the senior notes. In addition, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the 8.625% Senior Notes from the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at the redemption price set forth in the 8.625% Senior Notes.

Former Senior Secured Credit Facility

On October 5, 2006, in connection with the Century Acquisition, Cinemark USA, Inc. entered into its former senior secured credit facility that provided for a seven year $1,120,000 term loan and a six year $150,000 revolving credit line. On March 2, 2010, the Company completed an amendment and extension to this former

senior secured credit facility to primarily extend the maturities of the facility and make certain other modifications. Approximately $924,375 of the Company’s then remaining outstanding $1,083,600 term loan debt was extended from an original maturity date of October 2013 to a maturity date of April 2016. The then remaining term loan debt of $159,225 that was not extended continued to have a maturity date of October 2013. On June 3, 2011, the Company prepaid the remaining $157,235 of its unextended term loan debt utilizing a portion of the proceeds from the issuance of the Cinemark USA, Inc. 7.375% senior subordinated notes discussed above. There were no prepayment penalties incurred upon the prepayment of the term loan debt. Subsequent to the prepayment, the quarterly payments due on the term loan were approximately $2,311 per quarter through March 2016 with the remaining principal amount of approximately $866,602 due April 30, 2016. The prepayment did not impact the interest rate applicable to the remaining portion of the term loan debt, which accrued interest at Cinemark USA, Inc.’s option at: (A) the base rate equal to the higher of (1) the prime lending rate as set forth on the British Banking Association Telerate page 5, or (2) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50%, plus a 2.25% margin per annum, or (B) a “eurodollar rate” plus a 3.25% margin per annum.

The prepayment did not impact the interest rate applicable to or the maturity of the Company’s revolving credit line. The maturity date of $73,500 of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s $150,000 revolving credit line had been extended from October 2012 to March 2015. The maturity date of the remaining $76,500 of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s revolving credit line did not change and remained October 2012. The interest rate on the original revolving credit line accrued interest, at Cinemark USA, Inc.’s option, at: (A) a base rate equal to the higher of (1) the prime lending rate as set forth on the British Banking Association Telerate page 5 and (2) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50%, plus a margin that ranges from 0.50% to 1.00% per annum, or (B) a “eurodollar rate” plus a margin that ranged from 1.50% to 2.00% per annum. The interest rate on the extended revolving credit line accrued interest, at Cinemark USA, Inc.’s option at: (A) the base rate equal to the higher of (1) the prime lending rate as set forth on the British Banking Association Telerate page 5, or (2) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50%, plus a margin that ranges from 1.75% to 2.0% per annum, or (B) a “eurodollar rate” plus a margin that ranged from 2.75% to 3.0% per annum. The margin of the revolving credit line was determined by the consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio as defined in the Former Senior Secured Credit Facility.

As a result of the prepayment made in June 2011, the Company wrote-off approximately $2,183 in unamortized debt issue costs related to the unextended portion of term loan debt that was prepaid. In addition, the Company determined that a portion of the quarterly interest payments hedged by two of its current interest rate swap agreements under cash flow hedges and the quarterly interest payments related to its previously terminated interest rate swap agreement were probable not to occur and therefore reclassified approximately $2,760 of its accumulated other comprehensive loss related to these cash flow hedges to earnings, as a component of loss on early retirement of debt. These write-offs, combined with related fees, are reflected in loss on early retirement of debt for the year ended December 31, 2011.

On December 18, 2012, the remaining outstanding term loan of $898,955 was paid in full with proceeds from the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility combined with a portion of the proceeds from the 5.125% Senior Notes issuance, both of which are discussed above.

Fair Value of Long Term Debt

The Company estimates the fair value of its long-term debt primarily using quoted market prices, which fall under Level 2 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35. The carrying value of the Company’s long term debt was $1,764,010 and $1,572,221 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s long term debt was $1,851,246 and $1,622,286 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

12. INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENTS

The Company is currently a party to three interest rate swap agreements that qualify for cash flow hedge accounting. No premium or discount was incurred upon the Company entering into any of its interest rate swap agreements because the pay rates and receive rates on the interest rate swap agreements represented prevailing rates for each counterparty at the time each of the interest rate swap agreements was consummated. The fair values of the interest rate swaps are recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as an asset or liability with the effective portion of the interest rate swaps’ gains or losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and the ineffective portion reported in earnings. The changes in fair values are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings in the same period that the hedged items affect earnings. For the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, the Company reclassified $11,771, $15,929 and $12,979, respectively, from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings.

The valuation technique used to determine fair value is the income approach and under this approach, the Company uses projected future interest rates as provided by counterparties to the interest rate swap agreements and the fixed rates that the Company is obligated to pay under these agreements. Therefore, the Company’s measurements use significant unobservable inputs, which fall in Level 3 of the U.S. GAAP hierarchy as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35.

Below is a summary of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements, all of which are designated as cash flow hedges, as of December 31, 2012:

The Company was previously a party to an interest rate swap agreement that was effective during 2007 with a counterparty that filed for bankruptcy during September 2008 and whose credit rating was downgraded as a result. Prior to the counterparty’s credit rating downgrade, the change in fair value of the interest rate swap was recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. Subsequent to the counterparty’s credit rating downgrade, the change in fair value of the interest rate swap was recorded in earnings as a component of interest expense. The Company terminated the interest rate swap agreement during October 2008. The Company determined that the forecasted transactions hedged by this interest rate swap are still probable to occur, thus the total amount previously reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to this interest rate swap agreement of $18,147 was amortized on a straight-line basis to interest expense over the period during which the forecasted transactions were expected to occur, which was September 15, 2008 through August 13, 2012. The Company amortized approximately $4,633, $4,236 and $2,470 to interest expense during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively.

See Note 13 for additional information about the Company’s fair value measurements related to its interest rate swap agreements.

13. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

The Company determines fair value measurements in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, which establishes a fair value hierarchy under which an asset or liability is categorized based on the lowest level of input significant to its fair value measurement. The levels of input defined by FASB ASC Topic 820 are as follows:

 

        Level 1 —    quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date;
        Level 2 —    other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
        Level 3 —    unobservable and should be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.

Below is a summary of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by the Company under FASB ASC Topic 820 as of December 31, 2012:

The Company also uses fair value measurements on a nonrecurring basis in the impairment evaluations of its long-lived assets (see Note 1 and Note 9 for further discussions). There were no changes in valuation techniques during the period. The fair value measurement for the Company’s investment in RealD transferred from Level 2 to Level 1 during the year ended December 31, 2011. Previous fair value estimates for the investment were based on RealD’s quoted stock price, discounted to reflect the impact of a lock-up period to which the Company was subject. The lock-up period expired during January 2011; therefore, the fair value estimates for the investment subsequent to January 2011 were based on RealD’s stock price with no adjustments. See Note 6 for more information on the Company’s investment in RealD. There were no transfers in or out of Level 3 during the year ended December 31, 2012.

14. FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION

The accumulated other comprehensive loss account in stockholder’s equity of $23,682 and $37,698 at December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively, includes the cumulative foreign currency losses of $11,325 and $31,330, respectively, from translating the financial statements of the Company’s international subsidiaries, the change in fair values of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements that are designated as hedges and the change in fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale securities.

All foreign countries where the Company has operations are non-highly inflationary and the local currency is the same as the functional currency in all of the locations. Thus, any fluctuation in the currency results in a cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment recorded to accumulated other comprehensive loss.

During May 2011, the Company’s ownership in its Chilean subsidiary increased from 97.4% to 100% as a result of the Company’s purchase of the noncontrolling interests’ shares of Cinemark Chile. As part of this transaction, the Company recorded the amount of accumulated other comprehensive loss previously allocated to the noncontrolling interest of $485, related to the translation of the Chilean financial statements into U.S. dollars, as an increase to accumulated other comprehensive loss with an offsetting decrease to additional paid-in-capital. See Note 7.

17. CAPITAL STOCK

Common and Preferred Stock—Holders of Class A common stock have exclusive voting rights. Holders of Class B common stock have no voting rights except upon any proposed amendments to the articles of incorporation. However, they may convert their Class B common stock, at their option, to Class A common stock. In the event of any liquidation, holders of the Class A and Class B common stock will be entitled to their pro-rata share of assets remaining after any holders of preferred stock have received their preferential amounts based on their respective shares held.

The Company has 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $1.00 par value, authorized with none issued or outstanding. The rights and preferences of preferred stock will be determined by the Board of Directors at the time of issuance.

The Company’s ability to pay dividends is effectively limited by the terms of its senior notes indentures, its senior subordinated notes indenture and its senior secured credit facility, which also significantly restricts the ability of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries to pay dividends directly or indirectly it. See Note 11. Furthermore, certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries currently have a deficit in retained earnings which prevents the Company from declaring and paying dividends from those subsidiaries.

The Company recorded total compensation expense of $4,163, $5,925 and $9,887 related to restricted stock awards during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Cinemark Holdings, Inc. recorded an additional $765, $666 and $749 of compensation expense related to these restricted stock awards during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. Upon vesting, the Company receives an income tax deduction. The total fair value of shares vested during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012 was $3,272, $5,658 and $9,702, respectively. The Company recognized tax benefits of approximately $1,087, $2,188 and $3,749 related to shares that vested during the years ended December 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively.

As of December 31, 2012, the remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to these restricted stock awards was approximately $18,341, $17,966 of which will be recognized by the Company and $375 of which will be recognized by Cinemark Holdings, Inc. The weighted average period over which this remaining compensation expense will be recognized is approximately two years.

Restricted Stock Units—During the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, Cinemark Holdings, Inc. granted restricted stock units representing 396,429, 153,727 and 152,955 hypothetical shares of common stock, respectively, under the Restated Incentive Plan to employees of the Company. The restricted stock units vest based on a combination of financial performance factors and continued service. The financial performance factors are based on an implied equity value concept that determines an internal rate of return (“IRR”) during a three fiscal year period based on a formula utilizing a multiple of Adjusted EBITDA subject to certain specified adjustments (as defined in the restricted stock unit award agreement). The financial performance factors for the restricted stock units have a threshold, target and maximum level of payment opportunity. If the IRR for the three year period is at least 8.5%, which is the threshold, one-third of the restricted stock units vest. If the IRR for the three year period is at least 10.5%, which is the target, two-thirds of the restricted stock units vest. If the IRR for the three year period is at least 12.5%, which is the maximum, 100% of the restricted stock units vest. All payouts of restricted stock units that vest will be subject to an additional one year service requirement and will be paid in the form of common stock if the participant continues to provide services through the fourth anniversary of the grant date. At the time of each of the 2010, 2011 and 2012 restricted stock unit grants, the Company was not able to determine which IRR level would be reached for the respective three year performance period, therefore the Company assumed the mid-point IRR level for these grants in determining the amount of compensation expense to record for such grants. The fair values of the restricted stock unit awards granted were determined based on the market values of Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s common stock on the dates of grant, which ranged from $18.34 to $21.63 per share. The Company assumed forfeiture rates ranging from 0% to 5% for the restricted stock unit awards. Restricted stock unit award participants are eligible to receive dividend equivalent payments if and at the time the restricted stock unit awards vest.

Below is a table summarizing the potential number of shares that could vest under restricted stock unit awards granted during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012 at each of the three levels of financial performance (excluding forfeitures):

During the year ended December 31, 2010, the Compensation Committee of Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s board of directors approved a modification of restricted stock unit awards granted to employees during 2008. The Compensation Committee also approved the cancellation and replacement of restricted stock unit awards granted to the Company’s top five executive officers during 2008. Both the modification and the cancellation and replacement were accounted for as modifications of share based awards. As a result of these modifications, the Company recorded incremental compensation expense of approximately $435 during the year ended December 31, 2010, which represented the difference between the grant date fair value and the modification date fair value of these awards for the portion of the service period that had been satisfied at the time of the modification. The service period for the modified awards did not change.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, based upon additional information, the Company determined that the 12.5% IRR level would be reached for the 2008 grant and recorded incremental compensation expense of approximately $823. During the year ended December 31, 2010, based upon additional information, the Company also determined that the 12.5% IRR level was expected to be reached for the 2009 grant and recorded incremental compensation expense of $377 during the year ended December 31, 2010.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, 196,051 restricted stock unit awards vested. Upon vesting, each restricted stock unit was converted into one share of Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s common stock. In addition, Cinemark Holdings, Inc. paid approximately $600 in dividends on the vested restricted stock units, which represented dividends that had accumulated on the awards since they were granted in 2008. The fair value of the restricted stock unit awards that vested during the year ended December 31, 2012 was approximately $4,400. The Company recognized a tax benefit of approximately $1,848 during the year ended December 31, 2012 related to these vested awards. There were no forfeitures of restricted stock unit awards during the year ended December 31, 2012.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, based upon additional information, the Company determined that the 12.5% IRR level was reached for the 2010 grant and recorded incremental compensation expense of approximately $1,609.

The Company recorded total compensation expense of $3,424, $3,101 and $4,433 related to these restricted stock unit awards during the years ended December 31, 2010, 2011 and 2012, respectively. As of December 31, 2012, the Company had restricted stock units outstanding that represented a total of 994,671 hypothetical shares of common stock, net of actual cumulative forfeitures of 11,608 units, assuming the maximum IRR of at least 12.5% is achieved for all of the outstanding restricted stock unit awards. As of December 31, 2012, the remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to the outstanding restricted stock unit awards was $4,890, which assumes the high-point IRR level will be achieved for the 2009 and 2010 grants and the mid-point IRR level will be achieved for the 2011 and 2012 grants. The weighted average period over which this remaining compensation expense will be recognized is approximately two years.

The Company reinvests the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries, with the exception of its subsidiary in Ecuador. Accordingly, deferred U.S. federal and state income taxes are provided only on the undistributed earnings of the Company’s Ecuador subsidiary. As of December 31, 2012, the cumulative amount of undistributed earnings of the foreign subsidiaries on which the Company has not recognized income taxes was approximately $339,000. Determination of the amount of any unrecognized deferred income tax liability on this temporary difference is not practicable because of the complexities of the hypothetical calculation.

The Company had $22,411 and $34,475 of unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties, as of December 31, 2011 and December 31, 2012, respectively. Of these amounts, $16,274 and $30,085 represent the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that if recognized would impact the effective income tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively. The Company had $3,751 and $4,576 accrued for interest and penalties as of December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively.

The Company participates in the consolidated tax return of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in certain state and foreign jurisdictions and is routinely under audit by many different tax authorities. The Company believes that its accrual for tax liabilities is adequate for all open audit years based on its assessment of many factors including past experience and interpretations of tax law. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of complex judgments about future events. The Company is no longer subject to income tax audits from the Internal Revenue Service for years before 2007. The Company is no longer subject to state income tax examinations by tax authorities in its major state jurisdictions for years before 2007. Certain state returns were amended as a result of the Internal Revenue Service examination closures for 2002 through 2006, and the statutes remain open for those amendments. The Company is no longer subject to non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities in its major non-U.S. tax jurisdictions for years before 2004.

20. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Leases—The Company conducts a significant part of its theatre operations in leased properties under noncancelable operating and capital leases with terms generally ranging from 10 to 25 years. In addition to the minimum annual lease payments, some of the leases provide for contingent rentals based on operating results of the theatre and most require the payment of taxes, insurance and other costs applicable to the property. The Company can renew, at its option, a substantial portion of the leases at defined or then market rental rates for various periods. Some leases also provide for escalating rent payments throughout the lease term. A liability for deferred lease expenses of $34,466 and $38,297 at December 31, 2011 and 2012, respectively, has been provided to account for lease expenses on a straight-line basis, where lease payments are not made on such a basis. Theatre rent expense was as follows:

On February 15, 2012, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), Alan Stock, announced his retirement. As a result of the retirement, Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s employment agreement with Mr. Stock was effectively terminated. Mr. Stock served in a transitional role until May 1, 2012 and then became a consultant for the Company for a two-year period that ends April 30, 2014. Mr. Stock has retained his share based awards under their original vesting terms.

Upon Mr. Stock’s retirement, the Company appointed Tim Warner as its CEO. Mr. Warner previously served as the Company’s President and Chief Operating Officer. In connection with his appointment as the CEO, the Company and Mr. Warner entered into an Amended and Restated Employment Agreement dated as of March 30, 2012 (the “Amended and Restated Agreement”). The Amended and Restated Agreement amends and restates the Employment Agreement dated June 16, 2008 by and between the Company and Mr. Warner. The term of the Amended and Restated Agreement goes through April 1, 2014 and may be extended at the Company’s election for an additional one-year period upon six months prior written notice by the Company to Mr. Warner. The base salary stipulated in the Amended and Restated Agreement is subject to review during the term of the agreement for increase (but not decrease) each year by the Company’s Compensation Committee. Mr. Warner is eligible to receive annual cash incentive bonuses upon the Company meeting certain performance targets established by its Compensation Committee and will continue to be eligible to participate in and receive grants of equity incentive awards under the Company’s long-term incentive plan.

Retirement Savings Plan—The Company has a 401(k) retirement savings plan for the benefit of all employees and makes contributions as determined annually by the board of directors. Contribution payments of $2,311 and $2,410 were made in 2011 (for plan year 2010) and 2012 (for plan year 2011), respectively. A liability of approximately $2,500 has been recorded at December 31, 2012 for contribution payments to be made in 2013 (for plan year 2012).

Litigation and Litigation Settlements—From time to time, the Company is involved in other various legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of its business operations, such as personal injury claims, employment matters, landlord-tenant disputes, patent claims and contractual disputes, some of which are covered by insurance or by indemnification from vendors. The Company believes its potential liability with respect to these types of proceedings currently pending is not material, individually or in the aggregate, to the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

21. SEGMENTS

The Company manages its international market and its U.S. market as separate reportable operating segments. The international segment consists of operations in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Guatemala. The U.S. segment includes U.S. and Canada operations. (Note that the Company’s only Canadian theatre was sold during November 2010.) Each segment’s revenue is derived from admissions and concession sales and other ancillary revenues, primarily screen advertising. The measure of segment profit and loss the Company uses to evaluate performance and allocate its resources is Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the reconciliation table below. The Company does not report asset information by segment because that information is not used to evaluate the performance or allocate resources between segments.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1. The Company and Basis of Presentation

Cinemark USA, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) is a leader in the motion picture exhibition industry, with theatres in the United States (“U.S.”), Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Guatemala. The Company also managed additional theatres in the U.S., Brazil, and Colombia during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting principally of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and the accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Majority-owned subsidiaries that the Company has control of are consolidated while those affiliates of which the Company owns between 20% and 50% and does not control are accounted for under the equity method. Those affiliates of which the Company owns less than 20% are generally accounted for under the cost method, unless the Company is deemed to have the ability to exercise significant influence over the affiliate, in which case the Company would account for its investment under the equity method. The results of these subsidiaries and affiliates are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements effective with their formation or from their dates of acquisition. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2012, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K filed March 19, 2013 by the Company under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2013 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for the full year.

2. New Accounting Pronouncements

In July 2012, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2012-02, Testing Indefinite-Lived Intangible Assets for Impairment, an amendment to FASB ASC Topic 350, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (“ASU 2012-02”). The update provides an entity with the option first to assess qualitative factors in determining whether it is more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired. After assessing the qualitative factors, if an entity determines that it is not more likely than not that the indefinite-lived intangible asset is impaired, the entity is not required to take further action. If an entity concludes otherwise, then it is required to determine the fair value of the indefinite-lived intangible asset and perform the quantitative impairment test. ASU 2012-02 is effective for annual and interim impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after September 15, 2012. Early adoption was permitted. The adoption of ASU 2012-02 did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

During February 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-02, Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reporting of amounts Reclassified Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2013-02”). ASU 2013-02 amended existing guidance by requiring additional disclosure either on the face of the income statement or in the notes to the financial statements of significant amounts reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income. ASU 2013-02 requires prospective adoption and affects financial statement disclosures only. For public entities, the new disclosure requirements are effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years,

beginning after December 15, 2012. The adoption of ASU 2013-02 did not have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

3. Income Taxes

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded income tax expense of approximately $10,831, which resulted in an approximate effective tax rate of 24.5%. The effective tax rate reflects the impact of items related to the Company’s Mexico subsidiaries.

4. Long-Term Debt Activity

Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility

On December 18, 2012, Cinemark USA, Inc. amended and restated its senior secured credit facility to include a seven year $700,000 term loan and a five year $100,000 revolving credit line, referred to herein as the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility. The proceeds from the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility, combined with a portion of the proceeds from the 5.125% Senior Notes discussed below, were used to refinance the Company’s former senior secured credit facility. The term loan under the Amended Senior Secured Credit Facility matures in December 2019. The revolving credit line matures in December 2017. Quarterly principal payments in the amount of $1,750 are due on the term loan through September 2019, with the remaining principal of $652,750 due on December 18, 2019.

5.125% Senior Notes

On December 18, 2012, Cinemark USA, Inc. issued $400,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.125% senior notes due 2022, at par value, referred to herein as the 5.125% Senior Notes. A portion of the proceeds were used to refinance a portion of the former senior secured credit facility and the remainder is expected to be used to fund the purchase price for the Rave Acquisition (see Note 5) and for general corporate purposes. Interest on the 5.125% Senior Notes is payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning June 15, 2013. The notes mature on December 15, 2022.

Fair Value of Long-Term Debt

The Company estimates the fair value of its long-term debt primarily using quoted market prices, which fall under Level 2 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820-10-35, Fair Value Measurement. The carrying value of the Company’s long-term debt was $1,761,784 and $1,764,010 as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was $1,849,446 and $1,851,246 as of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

5. Acquisitions and Dispositions

Acquisition of Rave Theatres

During November 2012, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with Rave Real Property Holdco, LLC and certain of its subsidiaries, Rave Cinemas, LLC and RC Processing, LLC (collectively “Rave”), pursuant to which the Company will acquire 32 theatres with 483 screens located in 12 states. The estimated purchase price is approximately $240,000. The purchase price, the amount of which is subject to certain closing date adjustments, will consist of cash consideration and the assumption of certain liabilities. The transaction is expected to close during the second quarter of 2013, subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions for transactions of this type, including Department of Justice or Federal Trade Commission antitrust approval.

Disposition of Mexico Subsidiaries

During February 2013, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement with Grupo Cinemex, S.A. De C.V. pursuant to which the Company will sell its Mexican subsidiaries, which consist of 31 theatres and 290 screens. The sales price, which will be paid in Mexican pesos and is subject to certain closing date adjustments, will be approximately $130,000, based on the exchange rate at March 31, 2013. The transaction, which is subject to review by the Mexican Federal Competition Commission, is expected to close during the second half of 2013.

7. Investment in National CineMedia

The Company has an investment in National CineMedia, LLC (“NCM”). NCM operates a digital in-theatre network in the U.S. for providing cinema advertising and non-film events. Upon joining NCM, the Company entered into an Exhibitor Services Agreement with NCM (“ESA”), pursuant to which NCM provides advertising, promotion and event services to our theatres. As described further in Note 4 to the Company’s financial statements as included in its 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, on February 13, 2007, National CineMedia, Inc. (“NCM, Inc.”), an entity that serves as the sole manager of NCM, completed an IPO of its common stock. In connection with the NCM Inc. initial public offering, the Company amended its operating agreement and the ESA. Following the NCM, Inc. IPO, the Company does not recognize undistributed equity in the earnings on its original NCM membership units (referred to herein as the Company’s Tranche 1 Investment) until NCM’s future net earnings, less distributions received, surpass the amount of the excess distribution. The Company recognizes equity in earnings on its Tranche 1 Investment only to the extent it receives cash distributions from NCM. The Company recognizes cash distributions it receives from NCM on its Tranche 1 Investment as a component of earnings as Distributions from NCM. The Company believes that the accounting model provided by ASC 323-10-35-22 for recognition of equity investee losses in excess of an investor’s basis is analogous to the accounting for equity income subsequent to recognizing an excess distribution.

Amount includes the per patron and per digital screen theatre access fees due to the Company, net of amounts due to NCM for on-screen advertising time provided to the Company’s beverage concessionaire of approximately $2,435.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded equity earnings of approximately $866 and $716, respectively.

Pursuant to a Common Unit Adjustment Agreement dated as of February 13, 2007 between NCMI and the Company, AMC Entertainment, Inc. (“AMC”) and Regal Entertainment Group (“Regal”), which we refer to collectively as the Founding Members, annual adjustments to the common membership units are made primarily based on increases or decreases in the number of theatre screens operated and theatre attendance generated by each Founding Member. To account for the receipt of additional common units under the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement, the Company follows the guidance in FASB ASC 323-10-35-29 (formerly EITF 02-18, “Accounting for Subsequent Investments in an Investee after Suspension of Equity Loss Recognition”) by analogy, which also refers to AICPA Technical Practice Aid 2220.14, which indicates that if a subsequent investment is made in an equity method investee that has experienced significant losses, the investor must determine if the subsequent investment constitutes funding of prior losses. The Company concluded that the construction or acquisition of new theatres that has led to the common unit adjustments equates to making additional investments in NCM. The Company evaluated the receipt of the additional common units in NCM and the assets exchanged for these additional units and have determined that the right to use its incremental new screens would not be considered funding of prior losses. The Company accounts for these additional common units, which it refers to herein as its Tranche 2 Investment, as a separate investment than its Tranche 1 Investment. The common units received are recorded at fair value as an increase in the Company’s investment in NCM with an offset to deferred revenue. The deferred revenue is amortized over the remaining term of the ESA. The Company’s Tranche 2 Investment is accounted for following the equity method, with undistributed equity earnings related to its Tranche 2 Investment included as a component of earnings in equity in income of affiliates and distributions received related to its Tranche 2 Investment are recorded as a reduction of its investment basis. In the event that a common unit adjustment is determined to be a negative number, the Founding Member can elect to either transfer and surrender to NCM the number of common units equal to all or part of such Founding Member’s common unit adjustment or to pay to NCM an amount equal to such Founding Member’s common unit adjustment calculated in accordance with the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement. If the Company then elects to surrender common units as part of a negative common unit adjustment, the Company would record a reduction to deferred revenue at the then fair value of the common units surrendered and a reduction of the

Company’s Tranche 2 Investment at an amount equal to the weighted average cost for Tranche 2 common units, with the difference between the two values recorded as a gain or loss on sale of assets and other.

During March 2013, NCM performed its annual common unit adjustment calculation under the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement. As a result of the calculation, the Company received an additional 588,024 common units of NCM, each of which is convertible into one share of NCM, Inc. common stock. The Company recorded the additional common units received at fair value as part of its Tranche 2 Investment with a corresponding adjustment to deferred revenue of approximately $8,869. The deferred revenue will be recognized over the remaining term of the ESA, which is approximately 23 years. As of March 31, 2013, the Company owned a total of 18,682,668 common units of NCM, representing an ownership interest of approximately 16%.

Below is summary financial information for NCM for the year ended December 27, 2012 (financial information was not yet available for the three months ended March 29, 2013).

8. Investment in Digital Cinema Implementation Partners

On February 12, 2007, the Company, AMC and Regal entered into a joint venture known as Digital Cinema Implementation Partners LLC (“DCIP”) to facilitate the implementation of digital cinema in the Company’s theatres and to establish agreements with major motion picture studios for the financing of digital cinema. On March 10, 2010, the Company signed a master equipment lease agreement and other related agreements (collectively the “agreements”) with Kasima LLC (“Kasima”), which is an indirect subsidiary of DCIP and a related party to the Company. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had a 33% voting interest in DCIP and a 24.3% economic interest in DCIP.

The Company has a variable interest in Kasima through the terms of its master equipment lease agreement; however, the Company has determined that it is not the primary beneficiary of Kasima, as the Company does not have the ability to direct the activities of Kasima that most significantly impact Kasima’s economic performance. The Company accounts for its investment in DCIP and its subsidiaries under the equity method of accounting. During the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded equity income of $1,552 and $1,099, respectively, relating to this investment.

Below is a summary of changes in the Company’s investment in DCIP for the three months ended March 31, 2013:

rent of one thousand dollars per digital projection system for the first six and a half years from the effective date of the agreement and minimum annual rent of three thousand dollars per digital projection system beginning at six and a half years from the effective date through the end of the lease term. The Company is also subject to various types of other rent if such digital projection systems do not meet minimum performance requirements as outlined in the agreements. Certain of the other rent payments are subject to either a monthly or an annual maximum. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had 3,515 digital projection systems being leased under the master equipment lease agreement with Kasima. The Company recorded equipment lease expense of approximately $1,966 and $1,929 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively, which is included in utilities and other costs on the condensed consolidated statements of income.

9. Investment in Marketable Securities – RealD

Under its license agreement with RealD, during 2010 and 2011, the Company earned an aggregate of 1,222,780 options to purchase shares of common stock upon installation of a certain number of 3-D systems as outlined in the license agreement. Upon vesting in these options, the Company recorded an investment in RealD with an offset to deferred lease incentive liability. During March 2011, the Company exercised all of its options to purchase shares of common stock in RealD for $0.00667 per share.

The Company accounts for its investment in RealD as a marketable security. The Company has determined that its RealD shares are available-for-sale securities in accordance with ASC Topic 320-10-35-1, therefore unrealized holding gains and losses are reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss until realized.

As of March 31, 2013, the Company owned 1,222,780 shares in RealD, with an estimated fair value of $15,896, which is based on the closing price of RealD’s common stock on March 28, 2012, and falls under Level 1 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by ASC Topic 820-10-35. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Company recorded an unrealized holding gain of approximately $2,189, before taxes, as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss on the condensed consolidated balance sheet.

2012, respectively. As of March 31, 2013, the remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to restricted stock awards was $20,949 and the weighted average period over which this remaining compensation expense will be recognized is approximately two years.

Restricted Stock Units—During the three months ended March 31, 2013, Cinemark Holdings, Inc. granted restricted stock units representing 115,107 hypothetical shares of common stock to employees of the Company. The restricted stock units vest based on a combination of financial performance factors and continued service. The financial performance factors are based on an implied equity value concept that determines an internal rate of return (“IRR”) during the three fiscal year period ending December 31, 2015 based on a formula utilizing a multiple of Adjusted EBITDA subject to certain specified adjustments as defined in the restricted stock unit award agreement. The financial performance factors for the restricted stock units have a threshold, target and maximum level of payment opportunity. If the IRR for the three year period is at least 8.5%, which is the threshold, one-third of the restricted stock units vest. If the IRR for the three year period is at least 10.5%, which is the target, two-thirds of the restricted stock units vest. If the IRR for the three year period is at least 12.5%, which is the maximum, 100% of the restricted stock units vest. Grantees are eligible to receive a ratable portion of the common stock issuable if the IRR is within the targets previously noted. All payouts of restricted stock units that vest will be subject to an additional one year service requirement and will be paid in the form of common stock if the participant continues to provide services through March 2017, which is the fourth anniversary of the grant date. Restricted stock unit award participants are eligible to receive dividend equivalent payments if and at the time the restricted stock unit awards vest.

Below is a table summarizing the potential number of shares that could vest under restricted stock unit awards granted during the three months ended March 31, 2013 at each of the three target levels of financial performance (excluding forfeiture assumptions):

 

     Number of
Shares
     Value at  
     Vesting      Grant  

at IRR of at least 8.5%

     38,366       $ 1,129   

at IRR of at least 10.5%

     76,741       $ 2,259   

at IRR of at least 12.5%

     115,107       $ 3,389   

Due to the fact that the IRR for the three year performance period could not be determined at the time of grant, the Company estimated that the most likely outcome is the achievement of the mid-point IRR level. The fair value of the restricted stock unit awards was determined based on the market value of Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s common stock on the date of grant, which was $29.44 per share. The Company assumed a forfeiture rate of 5% for the restricted stock unit awards. If during the service period, additional information becomes available to lead the Company to believe a different IRR level will be achieved for the three-year performance period, the Company will reassess the number of units that will vest for the grant and adjust its compensation expense accordingly on a prospective basis over the remaining service period.

There were no forfeitures of restricted stock unit awards during the three months ended March 31, 2013. The Company recorded compensation expense of $862 and $781 related to restricted stock unit awards during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2013, 279,697 restricted stock unit awards vested. Upon vesting, each restricted stock unit was converted into one share of Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s common stock. In addition, Cinemark Holdings, Inc. paid approximately $889 in dividends on the vested restricted stock units, which represented dividends declared by Cinemark Holdings, Inc. that had accumulated on the awards since they were

granted in 2009. The fair value of the restricted stock unit awards that vested during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was approximately $8,234. The Company recognized a tax benefit of approximately $3,458 during the three months ended March 31, 2013 related to these vested awards.

As of March 31, 2013, the remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to the outstanding restricted stock unit awards was $6,202. The weighted average period over which this remaining compensation expense will be recognized is approximately two years. As of March 31, 2013, the Company had restricted stock units outstanding that represented a total of 830,081 hypothetical shares of common stock, assuming the maximum IRR level is achieved for each of the grants.

11. Interest Rate Swap Agreements

The Company is currently a party to three interest rate swap agreements that qualify for cash flow hedge accounting. The fair values of the interest rate swaps are recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as an asset or liability with the effective portion of the interest rate swaps’ gains or losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss and the ineffective portion reported in earnings. The changes in fair values are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings in the same period that the hedged items affect earnings. For the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company reclassified approximately $1,412 and $3,107, respectively, from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings.

The valuation technique used to determine fair value is the income approach and under this approach, the Company uses projected future interest rates as provided by counterparties to the interest rate swap agreements and the fixed rates that the Company is obligated to pay under these agreements. Therefore, the Company’s measurements use significant unobservable inputs, which fall in Level 3 of the U.S. GAAP hierarchy as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35. There were no changes in valuation techniques during the period and no transfers in or out of Level 3. See Note 15 for a summary of unrealized gains or losses recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and earnings.

The accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the terminated interest rate swap agreement became fully amortized in August 2012. See Note 14 for additional information about the Company’s fair value measurements related to its interest rate swap agreements.

Balances are presented net of accumulated impairment losses of $214,031 for the U.S. operating segment and $27,622 for the international operating segment.

The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill might exceed its estimated fair value. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level and has allocated goodwill to the reporting unit based on an estimate of its relative fair value. The Company considers the reporting unit to be each of its sixteen regions in the U.S. and each of its eight countries internationally (Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Guatemala are considered one reporting unit). Goodwill impairment is evaluated using a two-step approach requiring the Company to compute the fair value of a reporting unit and compare it with its carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds the estimated fair value, a second step is performed to measure the potential goodwill impairment. Significant judgment is involved in estimating cash flows and fair value. Management’s estimates, which fall under Level 3 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35, are based on historical and projected operating performance, recent market transactions and current industry trading multiples. Fair value is determined based on a multiple of cash flows, which was seven and a half times for the evaluation performed during the fourth quarter of 2012.

No events or changes in circumstances occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2013 that indicated the carrying value of goodwill might exceed its estimated fair value.

13. Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment indicators on a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable.

The Company considers actual theatre level cash flows, future years budgeted theatre level cash flows, theatre property and equipment carrying values, amortizing intangible asset carrying values, the age of a recently built theatre, competitive theatres in the marketplace, the impact of recent ticket price changes, available lease renewal options and other factors considered relevant in its assessment of impairment of individual theatre assets. Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment on an individual theatre basis, which the Company believes is the lowest applicable level for which there are identifiable cash flows. The impairment evaluation is based on the estimated undiscounted cash flows from continuing use through the remainder of the theatre’s useful life. The remainder of the useful life correlates with the available remaining lease period, which includes the probability of renewal periods for leased properties and a period of approximately twenty years for fee owned properties. If the estimated undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover a long-lived asset’s carrying value, the Company then compares the carrying value of the asset group (theatre) with its estimated fair value. When estimated fair value is determined to be lower than the carrying value of the asset group (theatre), the asset group (theatre) is written down to its estimated fair value. Significant judgment is involved in estimating cash flows and fair value. Management’s estimates, which fall under Level 3 of the U.S. GAAP fair value hierarchy as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35, are based on historical and projected operating performance, recent market transactions and current industry trading multiples. Fair value is determined based on a multiple of cash flows, which was six and a half times for the evaluations performed during the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. As of March 31, 2013, the estimated aggregate fair value of the long-lived assets impaired during the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $794.

The long-lived asset impairment charges recorded during each of the periods presented are specific to theatres that were directly and individually impacted by increased competition, adverse changes in market demographics or adverse changes in the development or the conditions of the areas surrounding the theatre.

14. Fair Value Measurements

The Company determines fair value measurements in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 820, which establishes a fair value hierarchy under which an asset or liability is categorized based on the lowest level of input significant to its fair value measurement. The levels of input defined by FASB ASC Topic 820 are as follows:

 

Level 1    

   

quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible at the measurement date;

Level 2    

   

other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and

Level 3    

   

unobservable and should be used to measure fair value to the extent that observable inputs are not available.

Below is a summary of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis by the Company under FASB ASC Topic 820 as of March 31, 2013:

15. Foreign Currency Translation

The accumulated other comprehensive loss account in stockholder’s equity of $37,698 and $34,024 at December 31, 2012 and March 31, 2013, respectively, includes cumulative foreign currency adjustments of $31,331 and $29,789, respectively, from translating the financial statements of the Company’s international subsidiaries, and also includes the change in fair values of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements that are designated as hedges and the change in fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale securities.

All foreign countries where the Company has operations are non-highly inflationary and the local currency is the same as the functional currency in all of the locations. Thus, any fluctuation in the currency results in a cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment recorded to accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Below is a summary of the impact of translating the March 31, 2013 financial statements of certain of the Company’s international subsidiaries:

17. Segments

The Company manages its international market and its U.S. market as separate reportable operating segments, with the international segment consisting of operations in Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Ecuador, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Guatemala. Each segment’s revenue is derived from admissions and concession sales and other ancillary revenues, primarily screen advertising. The measure of segment profit and loss the Company uses to evaluate performance and allocate its resources is Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the reconciliation table below. The Company does not report asset information by segment because that information is not used to evaluate the performance of or allocate resources between segments.

Lee Roy Mitchell is Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s Chairman of the Board and directly and indirectly owns approximately 9% of Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s common stock. Under the agreement, management fees are paid by Laredo to the Company at a rate of 5% of annual theatre revenues up to $50,000 and 3% of annual theatre revenues in excess of $50,000.

All such amounts are included in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements with the intercompany amounts eliminated in consolidation.

The Company leases 18 theatres and one parking facility from Syufy Enterprises, LP (“Syufy”) or affiliates of Syufy. Raymond Syufy is one of Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s directors and is an officer of the general partner of Syufy. Of these 19 leases, 16 have fixed minimum annual rent.

Part II

INFORMATION NOT REQUIRED IN PROSPECTUS

 

Item 20. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Sections 8.051 and 8.105(b) of Chapter 8 of the Texas Business Organizations Code, or the TBOC, provide that a corporation shall indemnify a person who is or was a director or officer against reasonable expenses actually incurred by such person in connection with a proceeding in which the person is a respondent because the person is or was serving in such a capacity if the person is wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of the proceeding.

Sections 8.101, 8.102 and 8.105 of Chapter 8 of the TBOC also provide generally that a person sued as a director or officer may be indemnified by the corporation against judgments and reasonable court costs, penalties, fines, settlements, excise or similar taxes, and attorney’s fees if it is determined that such person has conducted himself in good faith and reasonably believed, in the case of conduct in his official capacity with the corporation, that his conduct was in the corporation’s best interests, and in all other cases, that his conduct was at least not opposed to the corporation’s best interests (and, in the case of any criminal proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful). Section 8.104 of the TBOC provides that a corporation may advance expenses incurred by a director or officer in defending a suit or similar proceeding. Pursuant to Section 8.105 of the TBOC, a Texas corporation is also permitted to indemnify and advance expenses to officers, employees and agents who are not directors to such extent as may be provided by its certificate of formation, bylaws, actions of its board of directors, resolutions of its shareholders, or contract or required by common law.

Section 8.151 of the TBOC also authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director or officer against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in such a capacity or arising out of his status as such, whether or not the corporation would have the power to indemnify him against that liability under Chapter 8 of the TBOC.

Section 7.001 of the TBOC provides that a corporation’s certificate of formation may limit or eliminate a director’s liability for monetary damages to the corporation or its shareholders for an act or omission in the director’s capacity as a director.

The amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws of the Company provide for indemnification by the Company of its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the TBOC. In addition, the Company has, pursuant to Section 7.001 of the TBOC, provided in its amended and restated certificate of incorporation that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a director of the Company shall not be liable to the Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for an act or omission in a director’s capacity as director of the Company.

The indemnification provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of our directors and officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

The insurance policy of Cinemark Holdings covers indemnification of our officers and directors and certain other persons against liabilities and expenses incurred by any of them in certain stated proceedings and under certain stated conditions.

Item 22. Undertakings.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act (and, where applicable, each filing of an employee benefit plan’s annual report pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act) that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(4) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

(i) Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of the registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.

(6) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities:

 

 

II-2

 


Table of Contents

The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.

The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
