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 as of December 31, 2020 and 2021 is shown in the table above. The fair value of the Company’s total long term debt was $2,652,635 and $2,749,829 as of December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively. The fair value of the 4.500% convertible senior notes was $674,314 and $691,872 as of December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively.

Senior Secured Credit Facility

Cinemark USA, Inc. has a senior secured credit facility that includes a $700,000 term loan and a $100,000 revolving line of credit (the “Credit Agreement”).

Under the amended Credit Agreement, quarterly principal payments of $1,649 are due on the term loan through December 31, 2024, with a final principal payment of $613,351 due on March 29, 2025.

Interest on the term loan accrues at Cinemark USA, Inc.’s option at: (A) the base rate equal to the greater of (1) the US “Prime Rate” as quoted in The Wall Street Journal or if no such rate is quoted therein, in a Federal Reserve Board statistical release, (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, and (3) a one-month Eurodollar-based rate plus 1.0%, plus, in each case, a margin of 0.75% per annum, or (B) a Eurodollar-based rate for a period of 1, 2, 3, 6, 9 or 12 months plus a margin of 1.75% per annum.

Interest on the revolving line of credit accrues, at our option, at: (A) a base rate equal to the greater of (1) the US “Prime Rate” as quoted in The Wall Street Journal or if no such rate is quoted therein, in a Federal Reserve Board statistical release, (2) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.50%, and (3) a one-month Eurodollar-based rate plus 1.0%, plus, in each case, a margin that ranges from 0.50% to 1.25% per annum, or (B) a Eurodollar-based rate for a period of 1, 2, 3, 6, 9 or 12 months plus a margin that ranges from 1.50% to 2.25% 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. As of December 31 2021, the applicable margin was 2.25%, however, there were no borrowing outstanding under the revolving line of credit.

As of December 31, 2021, there was $633,136 outstanding under the term loan. The average interest rate on outstanding term loan borrowings under the Credit Agreement at December 31, 2021 was approximately 3.4% per annum, after giving effect to the interest rate swaps discussed below.

Cinemark USA, Inc.’s obligations under the Credit Agreement 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 Credit Agreement 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 our 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 or repurchase stock; and make capital expenditures and investments. If Cinemark USA, Inc. has borrowings outstanding on the revolving line of credit, it is required to keep a consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio, as defined in the Credit Agreement, not to exceed 4.25 to 1. See discussion below regarding recent covenant waivers.

The dividend restriction contained in the Credit Agreement 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 Cinemark USA, Inc. to be in default, under the Credit Agreement; 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 Credit Agreement, and (c) certain other defined amounts (collectively the “Applicable Amount”). The covenant waiver described below further limits, and the covenant waiver amendment described below may further limit, Cinemark USA's and its subsidiaries' ability to pay a dividend or otherwise distribute cash to its stockholders. As of December 31, 2021, Cinemark USA, Inc. could have distributed up to approximately $2,700,000 to its parent company and sole stockholder, Cinemark Holdings, Inc.

On April 17, 2020, in conjunction with the issuance of the 8.750% Secured Notes discussed below, the Company obtained a waiver of the leverage covenant, which applies when amounts are outstanding under the revolving line of credit, from the majority of revolving lenders under the Credit Agreement for the fiscal quarters ending September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020. The waiver was subject to certain liquidity thresholds, restrictions on investments and the use of the Applicable Amount.

On August 21, 2020, in conjunction with the issuance of the 4.500% Convertible Senior Notes discussed below, the Company further amended the waiver of the leverage covenant to extend through the fiscal quarter ending September 30, 2021. The amendment also i) modifies the maintenance covenant calculation beginning with the calculation for the trailing twelve-month period ended December 31, 2021, ii) for purposes of testing the consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio for the fiscal quarters ending on December 31, 2021, March 31, 2022 and June 30, 2022, permits the Company to substitute Consolidated EBITDA for the first three fiscal quarters of 2019 in lieu of Consolidated EBITDA for the corresponding fiscal quarters of 2021, (iii) modifies the restrictions imposed by the covenant waiver, and (iv) makes such other changes to permit the issuance of the 4.500% Convertible Senior Notes discussed below. Under the modified calculation, the consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio was 1.1 to 1 as of December 31, 2021.

On June 15, 2021, in conjunction with the issuance of the 5.25% Senior Notes discussed below, the Credit Agreement was amended to, among other things, extend the maturity of the revolving credit line from November 28, 2022 to November 28, 2024. The Company incurred debt issuance costs of approximately $500 in connection with

the extension of the revolving line of credit, which are recorded as a reduction of long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet.

5.875% Senior Notes

On March 16, 2021, Cinemark USA, Inc. issued $405,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.875% senior notes due 2026, at par value (the “5.875% Senior Notes”). Proceeds, after payment of fees, were used to fund a cash tender offer to purchase any and all of Cinemark USA’s 5.125% Senior Notes (the “5.125% Senior Notes”) and to redeem any of the 5.125% Senior Notes that remained outstanding after the tender offer. See further discussion of the tender offer below. Interest on the 5.875% Senior Notes is payable on March 15 and September 15 of each year. The 5.875% Senior Notes mature on March 15, 2026. The Company incurred debt issuance costs of approximately $6,021 in connection with the issuance, which are recorded as a reduction of long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet.

The 5.875% 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 5.875% 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 debt and are senior in right of payment to all of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s and its guarantors’ existing and future senior subordinated debt. The 5.875% 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 collateral securing such debt, including all borrowings under Cinemark USA, Inc.’s amended senior secured credit facility. The 5.875% 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 5.875% Senior Notes.

The indenture to the 5.875% 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. Upon a change of control, as defined in the indenture, the Company would be required to make an offer to repurchase the 5.875% 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 5.875% Senior Notes allows Cinemark USA, Inc. 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.

Prior to March 15, 2023, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem all or any part of the 5.875% Senior Notes at its option at 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium plus accrued and unpaid interest on the 5.875% Senior Notes to the date of redemption. After March 15, 2023, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem the 5.875% Senior Notes in whole or in part at redemption prices specified in the indenture. In addition, prior to March 15, 2023, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 5.875% Senior Notes from the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at the redemption price set forth in the indenture.

5.250% Senior Notes

On June 15, 2021, Cinemark USA, Inc. issued $765,000 aggregate principal amount of 5.25% senior notes due 2028, at par value (the “5.25% Senior Notes”). Proceeds, after payment of fees, were used to redeem all of Cinemark USA’s 4.875% $755,000 aggregate principal amount of Senior Notes due 2023 (the “4.875% Senior Notes”). Interest on the 5.25% Senior Notes is payable on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning January 15, 2022. The 5.25% Senior Notes mature on July 15, 2028. The Company incurred debt issuance costs of approximately $10,684 in connection with the issuance, which are recorded as a reduction of long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet.

The 5.25% 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 5.25% Senior Notes and the guarantees will be Cinemark USA’s and the guarantors’ senior unsecured obligations and (i) rank equally in right of payment to Cinemark USA’s and the guarantors’ existing and future senior debt, including borrowings under Cinemark USA’s Credit Agreement (as defined below) and Cinemark USA’s existing senior notes, (ii) rank senior in right of payment to Cinemark USA’s and the guarantors’ future subordinated debt, (iii) are effectively subordinated to all of Cinemark USA’s and the guarantors’ existing and future secured debt, including all obligations under the Credit Agreement and Cinemark USA’s 8.750% senior secured notes due 2025, in each case to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such

debt, (iv) are structurally subordinated to all existing and future debt and other liabilities of Cinemark USA’s non-guarantor subsidiaries, and (v) are structurally senior to the 4.500% convertible senior notes due 2025 issued by Cinemark Holdings.

The indenture to the 5.25% 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. Upon a change of control, as defined in the indenture, the Company would be required to make an offer to repurchase the 5.25% 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 5.25% Senior Notes allows Cinemark USA, Inc. 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.

Prior to July 15, 2024, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem all or any part of the 5.25% Senior Notes at its option at 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium plus accrued and unpaid interest on the 5.25% Senior Notes to the date of redemption. On or after July 15, 2024, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem the 5.25% Senior Notes in whole or in part at redemption prices specified in the indenture. In addition, prior to July 15, 2024, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 5.25% Senior Notes from the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at the redemption price set forth in the indenture, so long as at least 60% of the principal amount of the 5.25% Senior Notes remains outstanding immediately after each such redemption.

8.750% Secured Notes

On April 20, 2020, Cinemark USA, Inc. issued $250,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.750% senior secured notes due 2025 (the “8.750% Secured Notes”). The 8.750% Secured Notes will mature on May 1, 2025. Interest on the 8.750% Secured Notes is payable on May 1 and November 1 of each year.

The 8.750% Secured Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior basis by certain of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s subsidiaries that guarantee, assume or in any other manner become liable with respect to any of Cinemark USA, Inc.’s or its guarantors’ other debt. If Cinemark USA, Inc. cannot make payments on the 8.750% Secured Notes when they are due, Cinemark USA, Inc.’s guarantors must make them instead. Under certain circumstances, the guarantees may be released without action by, or the consent of, the holders of the 8.750% Secured Notes.

The indenture governing the 8.750% Secured 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. Upon a change of control, as defined in the indenture governing the 8.750% Secured Notes, Cinemark USA, Inc. would be required to make an offer to repurchase the 8.750% Secured 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 8.750% Secured Notes allows Cinemark USA, Inc. to incur additional indebtedness if it satisfies a coverage ratio specified in the indenture, after giving effect to the incurrence of the additional indebtedness, and in certain other circumstances.

Prior to May 1, 2022, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem all or any part of the 8.750% Secured Notes at its option at 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium plus accrued and unpaid interest on the 8.750% Secured Notes to the date of redemption. On or after May 1, 2022, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem the 8.750% Secured Notes in whole or in part at redemption prices specified in the indenture. In addition, prior to May 1, 2022, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem up to 40% of the aggregate principal amount of the 8.750% Secured Notes from the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at the redemption price set forth in the indenture, so long as at least 60% of the principal amount of the 8.750% Secured Notes remains outstanding immediately after each such redemption.

4.500% Convertible Senior Notes

On August 21, 2020, Cinemark Holdings, Inc. issued $460,000 aggregate principal amount of 4.500% convertible senior notes due 2025 (the “4.500% Convertible Senior Notes”). The 4.500% Convertible Senior Notes

will mature on August 15, 2025, unless earlier repurchased or converted in accordance with the indenture. Interest on the 4.500% Convertible Senior Notes is payable on February 15 and August 15 of each year.

Holders of the 4.500% Convertible Senior Notes may convert their 4.500% Convertible Senior Notes at their option at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding May 15, 2025 only under the following circumstances: (1) during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period, or the measurement period, in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day; (2) if the Company distributes to all or substantially all stockholders (i) rights options or warrants entitling them to purchase shares at a discount to the recent average trading price of the Company’s common stock (including due to a stockholder rights plan) or (ii) the Company’s assets or securities or rights, options or warrants to purchase the same with a per share value exceeding 10% of the trading price of the Company’s stock, (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate events as described further in the indenture, or (4) during any calendar quarter commencing after the calendar quarter ending on September 30, 2020 (and only during such calendar quarter), if the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock for at least 20 trading days during the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price (initially 14.35 per share), on each applicable trading day. Beginning May 15, 2025, holders may convert their 4.500% Convertible Senior Notes at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date. Upon conversion of the 4.500% Convertible Senior Notes, the Company will pay or deliver cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of the Company’s common stock, at the Company’s election.

The initial conversion rate is 69.6767 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 4.500% Convertible Senior Notes. The conversion rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events. If a make-whole fundamental change as defined in the indenture governing the 4.500% Convertible Senior Notes occurs prior to the maturity date, the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for a holder who elects to convert its 4.500% Convertible Senior Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change.

The 4.500% Convertible Senior Notes are effectively subordinated to any of the Company’s, or its subsidiaries’, existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, including obligations under the Credit Agreement. The 4.500% Convertible Senior Notes are structurally subordinated to all existing and future debt and other liabilities of our subsidiaries, including trade payables and including Cinemark USA’s 5.125% Senior Notes, 4.875% Senior Notes and the 8.750% Secured Notes, or, collectively, Cinemark USA’s senior notes (but excluding all obligations under the Credit Agreement which are guaranteed by the Company). The 4.500% Convertible Senior Notes rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s existing and future unsubordinated debt, including all obligations under the Credit Agreement, which such Credit Agreement is guaranteed by the Company, and senior in right of payment to any future debt that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the 4.500% Convertible Senior Notes. The 4.500% Convertible Notes are not guaranteed by any of Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s subsidiaries.

In accordance with accounting guidance on debt and equity financing, the Company bifurcated the gross proceeds from the issuance of 4.500% Convertible Senior Notes and recorded a portion as long-term debt and a portion in equity as of December 31, 2020. See further discussion below at Adoption of ASU 2020-06.

Concurrently with the issuance of the 4.500% Convertible Senior Notes, the Company entered into privately negotiated convertible note hedge transactions (the “Hedge Transactions”) with one or more of the initial purchasers of the 4.500% Convertible Senior Notes or their respective affiliates (the “Option Counterparties”). The Hedge Transactions cover the number of shares of the Company’s common stock that will initially underlie the aggregate amount of the 4.500% Convertible Senior Notes, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the 4.500% Convertible Senior Notes. The Hedge Transactions are generally expected to reduce potential dilution to the Company’s common stock upon any conversion of the 4.500% Convertible Senior Notes and/or offset any cash payments the Company may be required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted 4.500% Convertible Senior Notes, as the case may be. Concurrently with entering into the Hedge Transactions, the Company also entered into separate privately negotiated warrant transactions with Option Counterparties whereby it sold to Option Counterparties warrants to purchase (subject to the net share settlement provisions set forth therein) up to the same number of shares of the Company’s common stock, subject to customary anti-dilution adjustments (the “Warrant Transactions”). The warrants could separately have a dilutive effect to the extent that the market value per share of the Company’s common stock exceeds the strike price of the warrants on the applicable expiration dates unless, subject to the terms of the warrants, the Company elects to cash settle the warrants. The exercise price of the warrants is

initially $22.08 and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the warrants. The Company received $89,424 in cash proceeds from the Warrant Transactions, which were used along with proceeds from the 4.500% Convertible Senior Notes, to pay approximately $142,094 to enter into the Hedge Transactions.

Together, the Hedge Transactions and the Warrants are intended to reduce the potential dilution from the conversion of the 4.500% Convertible Senior Notes. The Hedge Transactions and Warrants are recorded in equity and are not accounted for as derivatives, in accordance with applicable accounting guidance.

4.875% Senior Notes

On May 21, 2021, Cinemark USA, Inc. issued a conditional notice of optional redemption to redeem the $755,000 outstanding principal amount of the 4.875% Senior Notes. In connection therewith, Cinemark USA deposited with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Trustee for the 4.875% Senior Notes (the “Trustee”), funds sufficient to redeem all 4.875% Senior Notes remaining outstanding on June 21, 2021 (the “Redemption Date”). The redemption payment (the “Redemption Payment”) included $755,000 of outstanding principal at the redemption price equal to 100.000% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date. Upon deposit of the Redemption Payment with the Trustee on June 15, 2021, the indenture governing the 4.875% Senior Notes was fully satisfied and discharged.

The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $3,919, which included the write-off of $3,301 of unamortized debt issuance costs and the payment of $618 in legal fees during the year ended December 31, 2021.

On March 16, 2021, Cinemark USA, Inc. completed a tender offer to purchase its previously outstanding 5.125% Senior Notes, of which $333,990 was tendered at the expiration of the offer.

In connection therewith, Cinemark USA deposited with Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as Trustee for the 5.125% Senior Notes (the “Trustee”), funds sufficient to redeem all 5.125% Notes remaining outstanding on April 15, 2021 (the “Redemption Date”). The redemption payment (the “Redemption Payment”) included $66,010 of outstanding principal at the redemption price equal to 100.000% of the principal amount plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to the Redemption Date. Upon deposit of the Redemption Payment with the Trustee on March 16, 2021, the indenture governing the 5.125% Senior Notes was fully satisfied and discharged.

The Company recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2,603 during the year ended December 31, 2021, which included the write-off of $1,168 of unamortized debt issuance costs and the payment of $1,435 in tender and legal fees

ASU 2020-06 simplifies the guidance on an issuer’s accounting for convertible debt instruments by removing the separation models for (1) convertible debt with a cash conversion feature and (2) convertible instruments with a beneficial conversion feature. As a result, entities will not separately present in equity an embedded conversion feature of such debt. Instead, they will account for a convertible debt instrument wholly as debt, unless certain other conditions are met. The elimination of these models reduces reported interest expense and increases reported net income for entities that have issued a convertible instrument within the scope of those models before the adoption of ASU 2020-06. Also, ASU 2020-06 requires the application of the if-converted method for calculating diluted earnings per share as the treasury stock method is no longer available. The provisions of ASU 2020-06 are applicable for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021, with early adoption permitted no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020.

The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 under the modified retrospective method effective January 1, 2021. As a result of the adoption, the entire $460,000 principal balance of the 4.500% Convertible Senior Notes is recorded in long-term debt and is no longer bifurcated between long-term debt and equity. The impact of the adoption during the year ended December 31, 2021 was as follows:

Reclassified $101,123 previously allocated to the cash conversion feature and recorded in equity net of tax, from equity to long term debt on the consolidated balance sheet.
Reversed the accretion of interest of $5,714 on the 4.500% Convertible Senior Notes recorded during the year ended December 31, 2020 with a credit to retained earnings.
Reclassified $3,764 of debt issuance costs previously allocated to equity to long-term debt on the consolidated balance sheet.
Recorded offsetting amortization of debt issuance costs of $274 as an adjustment to retained earnings on the consolidated balance sheet.

Covenant Compliance

The indentures governing the 5.875% Senior Notes, the 5.25% Senior Notes and the 8.750% Secured Notes ("the indentures") contain 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, 2021, Cinemark USA, Inc. could have distributed up to approximately $3,000,000 to its parent company and sole stockholder, Cinemark Holdings, Inc., under the terms of the indentures, subject to its available cash and other borrowing restrictions outlined in the indentures. Upon a change of control, as defined in the indentures, Cinemark USA, Inc. would be required to make an offer to repurchase the 5.875% Senior Notes, the 5.25% Senior Notes and the 8.750% Secured 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 indentures allow Cinemark USA, Inc. 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 December 31, 2021 was 0.6 to 1.

As of December 31, 2021, the Company believes it was in full financial compliance with all agreements, including related covenants, governing its outstanding debt.

Interest Rate Swap Agreements

Effective March 31, 2020, the Company amended and extended its three then existing interest rate swap agreements and entered into a fourth interest rate swap agreement, all of which are used to hedge a portion of the interest rate risk associated with the variable interest rates on the Company’s term loan debt and qualify for cash flow hedge accounting. Upon amending the interest rate swap agreements effective March 31,2020, the Company determined that the interest payments hedged with the agreements are still probable to occur, therefore the loss that accumulated on the swaps prior to the amendments of $29,359 is being amortized to interest expense through December 31, 2022, the original maturity dates of the swaps. Approximately $3,371 and $4,495 was recorded in amortization of accumulated losses for amended swaps in the consolidated income statement for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2021, respectively.

The fair values of the interest rate swaps are recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets as an asset or liability with the related gains or losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. The changes in fair value are reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings in the same period that the hedged items affect 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 counterparty to the interest rate swap agreement and the fixed rates that the Company is obligated to pay under the agreement. Therefore, the Company’s measurements use significant unobservable inputs, which fall in Level 2 of the U.S. GAAP hierarchy as defined by FASB ASC Topic 820-10-35. The Company is assessing the impact of reference rate reform, as well as the impact of ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01, on the Company's interest rate swaps. See further discussion at Note 2.
