AMC ENTERTAINMENT HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
March 31, 2016
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1BASIS OF PRESENTATION
AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings"), through its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including American Multi-Cinema, Inc. and its subsidiaries, (collectively with Holdings, unless the context otherwise requires, the "Company" or "AMC"), is principally involved in the theatrical exhibition business and owns, operates or has interests in theatres primarily located in the United States. Holdings is an indirect subsidiary of Dalian Wanda Group Co., Ltd. ("Wanda"), a Chinese private conglomerate.
On March 31, 2016, AMC Entertainment Inc. ("AMCE") merged with and into Holdings, its direct parent company. In connection with the merger, Holdings assumed all of the obligations of AMCE pursuant to the indentures to the 5.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2022, the 5.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2025 and the Credit Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2013 (as subsequently amended).
As of March 31, 2016, Wanda owned approximately 77.82% of Holdings' outstanding common stock and 91.32% of the combined voting power of Holdings' outstanding common stock and has the power to control Holdings' affairs and policies, including with respect to the election of directors (and, through the election of directors, the appointment of management), entering into mergers, sales of substantially all of the Company's assets and other extraordinary transactions.
Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to: (1) Impairments, (2) Film exhibition costs, (3) Income and operating taxes, (4) Theatre and other closure expense, and (5) Gift card and exchange ticket income. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holdings and all subsidiaries, as discussed above, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015, which was derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position and results of operations. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. There are no noncontrolling (minority) interests in the Company's consolidated subsidiaries; consequently, all of its stockholders' equity, net earnings and total comprehensive income for the periods presented are attributable to controlling interests. Due to the seasonal nature of the Company's business, results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative

of the results to be expected for the twelve months ending December 31, 2016. The Company manages its business under one reportable segment called Theatrical Exhibition.
Change in Accounting Principle: The Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-03 and 2015-15, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) as of the beginning of 2016 on a retrospective basis. As a result of the adoption of ASU No. 2015-03 and ASU No. 2015-15, the Company reclassified $21,768,000 of debt issuance costs for its term loan and senior subordinated notes from other long-term assets to corporate borrowings in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2015. The Company continues to defer and present its debt issuance costs related to its line-of-credit arrangement as an asset regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement as provided in ASU No. 2015-15.
NOTE 2ACQUISITION
In December 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of SMH Theatres, Inc. ("Starplex Cinemas") for cash. The purchase price for Starplex Cinemas was $172,243,000, net of cash acquired, and was subject to working capital and other purchase price adjustments as described in the stock purchase agreement. Starplex Cinemas operates 33 theatres with 346 screens in small and mid-size markets in 12 states, which further complements the Company's large market portfolio. The Company expects to realize synergies and cost savings related to this acquisition as a result of purchasing and procurement economies of scale and general and administrative expense savings, particularly with respect to the consolidation of corporate related functions and elimination of redundancies.
The acquisition is being treated as a purchase in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations, which requires allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of assets and liabilities acquired in the transaction. The allocation of purchase price is based on management's judgment after evaluating several factors, including bid prices from potential buyers and a preliminary valuation assessment. The allocation of purchase price is preliminary and subject to changes as an appraisal of both tangible and intangible assets and liabilities is finalized, working capital and other purchase price adjustments are completed and additional information

The fair value measurement of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities were based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value measurement hierarchy. Level 3 fair market values were determined using a variety of information, including estimated future cash flows, appraisals, and market comparables.
During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company incurred integration and acquisition-related costs for Starplex Cinemas of approximately $1,218,000, which were included in general and administrative expense: merger, acquisition and transaction costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company's operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were not materially impacted by this acquisition.
In connection with the acquisition of Starplex Cinemas, the Company classified two Starplex Cinemas theatres with 22 screens as held for sale as of December 31, 2015, that were divested in January 2016 as required by the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice. Assets

NOTE 4STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Common Stock Rights and Privileges
The rights of the holders of Holdings' Class A common stock and Holdings' Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion applicable to the Class B common stock. Holders of Holdings' Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share and holders of Holdings' Class B common stock are entitled to three votes per share. Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock will share ratably (based on the number of shares of common stock held) in any dividend declared by its board of directors, subject to any preferential rights of any outstanding preferred stock. The Class A common stock is not convertible into any other shares of Holdings' capital stock. Each share of Class B common stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into one share of Class A common stock. In addition, each share of Class B common stock shall convert automatically into one share of Class A common stock upon any transfer, whether or not for value, except for certain transfers described in Holdings' certificate of incorporation.

Related Party Transaction
As of March 31, 2016, the Company recorded a receivable due from Wanda of $214,000 for reimbursement of general administrative and other expense incurred on behalf of Wanda.
Temporary Equity
Certain members of management have the right to require Holdings to repurchase the Class A common stock held by them under certain limited circumstances pursuant to the terms of a stockholders agreement. Beginning on January 1, 2016 (or upon the termination of a management stockholder's employment by the Company without cause, by the management stockholder for good reason, or due to the management stockholder's death or disability) management stockholders will have the right, in limited circumstances, to require Holdings to purchase shares that are not fully and freely tradeable at a price equal to the price per share paid by such management stockholder with appropriate adjustments for any subsequent events such as dividends, splits, or combinations. The shares of Class A common stock, subject to the stockholder agreement, are classified as temporary equity, apart from permanent equity, as a result of the contingent redemption feature contained in the stockholder agreement. The Company determined the amount reflected in temporary equity for the Class A common stock based on the price paid per share by the management stockholders and Wanda on August 30, 2012, the date Wanda acquired Holdings.
During the three months ended March 31, 2016, a former employee who held 27,197 shares, relinquished his put right, therefore the related share amount of $284,000 was reclassified to additional paid-in capital, a component of stockholders' equity.

The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $1,087,000 and $5,739,000 within general and administrative: other during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively.

Awards Granted in 2016
During the three months ended March 31, 2016, Holdings' Board of Directors approved awards of stock, restricted stock units ("RSUs"), and performance stock units ("PSUs") to certain of the Company's employees and directors under the 2013 Equity Incentive Plan.

On March 1, 2016, RSU awards of 135,981 units were granted to certain executive officers covered by Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code.

NOTE 5INCOME TAXES
The Company's effective income tax rate is based on expected income, statutory rates and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. For interim financial reporting, the Company estimates the annual income tax rate based on projected taxable income for the full year and records a quarterly income tax provision or benefit in accordance with the anticipated annual rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any. The Company refines the estimates of the year's taxable income as new information becomes available, including actual year-to-date financial results. This continual estimation process often results in a change to the expected effective income tax rate for the year. When this occurs, the Company adjusts the income tax provision during the quarter in which the change in estimate occurs so that the year-to-date provision reflects the expected income tax rate. Significant judgment is required in determining the effective tax rate and in evaluating tax positions. The Company recognizes income tax-related interest expense and penalties as income tax expense and general and administrative expense, respectively.
The effective tax rate based on the projected annual taxable income for the year ending December 31, 2016 is 39.0%. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 was 39.0%. The Company's tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 differs from the statutory tax rate primarily due to state income taxes.

The inputs used to develop these fair value measurements are established in a hierarchy, which ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine the fair values. The fair value classification is based on levels of inputs. Assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
Level 1: | Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | |
Level 2: |
Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data. |

Valuation Techniques. The Company's money market mutual funds are invested in funds that seek to preserve principal, are highly liquid, and therefore are recorded on the balance sheet at the principal amounts deposited, which equals fair value. The equity securities, available-for-sale, primarily consist of common stock and mutual funds invested in equity, fixed income, and international funds and are measured at fair value using quoted market prices. See Note 8Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the unrealized gain on the equity securities recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.

The Company sponsors frozen non-contributory qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans generally covering all employees who, prior to the freeze, were age 21 or older and had completed at least 1,000 hours of service in their first twelve months of employment, or in a calendar year ending thereafter, and who were not covered by a collective bargaining agreement. The Company also offered eligible retirees the opportunity to participate in a health plan. Certain employees were eligible for subsidized postretirement medical benefits.

On January 12, 2015, the Compensation Committee and all of the Board of Directors of AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. adopted resolutions to terminate the AMC Postretirement Medical Plan with an effective date of March 31, 2015.

Payments to eligible associates were approximately $4,300,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2015. The Company recorded net periodic benefit credits including curtailment gains, settlement gains, amortization of unrecognized prior service credits and amortization of actuarial gains recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the termination and settlement of the plan during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

NOTE 10COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
The Company, in the normal course of business, is a party to various ordinary course claims from vendors (including food and beverage suppliers and film distributors), landlords, competitors, and other legal proceedings. If management believes that a loss arising from these actions is probable and can reasonably be estimated, the Company records the amount of the loss, or the minimum estimated liability when the loss is estimated using a range and no point is more probable than another. As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these actions is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary. Management believes that the ultimate outcome of such matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or overall trends in results of operations. However, litigation and claims are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes can occur. An unfavorable outcome might include monetary damages. If an unfavorable outcome were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of operations in the period in which the outcome occurs or in future periods.
On May 28, 2015, the Company received a Civil Investigative Demand ("CID") from the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice in connection with an investigation under

AMC ENTERTAINMENT HOLDINGS, INC.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Continued)
March 31, 2016
(Unaudited)
NOTE 10COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES (Continued)
Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Antitrust Act. Beginning in May of 2015, the Company also received CIDs from the Attorneys General for the States of Ohio, Texas, Washington, Florida, New York, Kansas, and from the District of Columbia, regarding similar inquiries under those states' antitrust laws. The CIDs request the production of documents and answers to interrogatories concerning potentially anticompetitive conduct, including film clearances and participation in certain joint ventures. The Company may receive additional CIDs from antitrust authorities in other jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company does not believe it has violated federal or state antitrust laws and is cooperating with the relevant governmental authorities. However, the Company cannot predict the ultimate scope, duration or outcome of these investigations.
On March 3, 2016, the Company and Carmike Cinemas, Inc. ("Carmike") entered into a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which the Company will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Carmike for $30.00 per share in cash or approximately $757,000,000. The Company has entered into a debt financing commitment letter in connection with the merger agreement which provides senior secured incremental term loans in an aggregate amount of up to $325,000,000 and a senior subordinated bridge loan in an aggregate amount of up to $300,000,000 to fund the acquisition. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in completing the debt financing on favorable terms as it involves matters outside of the Company's control. The merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approval and approval by Carmike's shareholders.
NOTE 11NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employer Share-Based Payment Accounting which is intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. This standard requires entities to record all of the tax effects related to share-based payments at settlement or expiration through the income statement, removes the requirement to delay recognition of a windfall tax benefit until it reduces current taxes payable, requires all tax-related cash flows resulting from share-based payments to be reported as operating activities on the statement of cash flows, permits entities to withhold an amount up to the employee's maximum individual tax rate in the relevant jurisdiction without resulting in liability classification of the award and permits entities to make an accounting policy election for the impact of forfeitures on the recognition of expense for share-based payment awards. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption will be permitted in any interim or annual period, with any adjustments reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-09 will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which is intended to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions. This standard requires a lessee to record on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by lease terms of more than 12 months. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

NOTE 11NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS (Continued)
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), ("ASU 2014-09"), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles when it becomes effective. On July 9, 2015, the FASB decided to delay the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. Companies may elect to adopt this application as of the original effective date for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and has not yet selected a transition method.
NOTE 12EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share includes the effects of unvested RSU's with a service condition only and unvested contingently issuable RSUs and PSUs that have service and performance conditions, if dilutive.
The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share:

Vested RSUs and PSU's have dividend rights identical to the Company's Class A and Class B common stock and are treated as outstanding shares for purposes of computing basic and diluted earnings per share. Certain unvested RSUs and unvested PSUs are subject to performance conditions and are included in diluted earnings per share, if dilutive, using the treasury stock method based on the number of shares, if any, that would be issuable under the terms of the Company's 2013 Equity Incentive Plan ("Plan") if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, unvested RSUs of 135,981 and unvested PSUs of 100,912 at the minimum performance target, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings

Overview
AMC is the guest experience leader in the movie exhibition industry. We operate productive theatres in the country's top markets, including No. 1 market share in the top three markets, New York, Los Angeles and Chicago.
Our theatrical exhibition revenues are generated primarily from box office admissions and theatre food and beverage sales. The balance of our revenues are generated from ancillary sources, including on-screen advertising, fees earned from our AMC Stubs customer frequency membership program, rental of theatre auditoriums, income from gift card and exchange ticket sales, on-line ticketing fees
36
and arcade games located in theatre lobbies. As of March 31, 2016, we owned, operated or had interests in 385 theatres and 5,380 screens.
We are committed to maintaining a leadership position in the industry by focusing on innovations for the benefit of our guests. To ensure AMC is an imaginative and bold innovator today and in the years ahead, we have established these priorities:
37
Film Content
Box office admissions are our largest source of revenue. We predominantly license "first-run" films from distributors owned by major film production companies and from independent distributors on a film-by-film and theatre-by-theatre basis. Film exhibition costs are accrued based on the applicable admissions revenues and estimates of the final settlement pursuant to our film licenses. Licenses that we enter into typically state that rental fees are based on aggregate terms established prior to the opening of the picture. In certain circumstances and less frequently, our rental fees are based on a mutually agreed settlement upon the conclusion of the picture. Under an aggregate terms formula, we pay the distributor a specified percentage of box office gross or pay based on a scale of percentages tied to different amounts of box office gross. The settlement process allows for negotiation based upon how a film actually performs.
During the 2015 calendar year, films licensed from our seven largest distributors based on revenues accounted for approximately 89% of our U.S. admissions revenues. Our revenues attributable to individual distributors may vary significantly from year to year depending upon the commercial success of each distributor's films in any given year.
Our revenues are dependent upon the timing and popularity of film releases by distributors. The most marketable films are usually released during the summer and the calendar year-end holiday seasons. Therefore, our business is highly seasonal, with higher attendance and revenues generally occurring during the summer months and holiday seasons. Our results of operations may vary significantly from quarter to quarter and from year to year.
AMC Movie Screens
During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we opened 12 new screens, permanently closed 38 screens, temporarily closed 79 screens and reopened 59 screens to implement our strategy and install consumer experience upgrades.
As of March 31, 2016, we had 2,609 3D enabled screens, including 152 IMAX, 17 Dolby Cinema at AMC and 11 Premium Large Format ("PLF"); approximately 48% of our screens were 3D enabled screens, including IMAX 3D enabled screens, and approximately 3% of our screens were IMAX 3D enabled screens.

IMAX®. IMAX is one of the world's leading entertainment technology companies, specializing in motion picture technologies and presentations. IMAX offers a unique end-to-end cinematic solution combining proprietary software, theater architecture and equipment to create the highest-quality, most immersive motion picture experience for which the IMAX® brand has become known globally. Top filmmakers and studios utilize IMAX theaters to connect with audiences in innovative ways, and as such, IMAX's theater network is among the most important and successful theatrical distribution platforms for major event films around the world.
38
As of March 31, 2016, AMC is the largest IMAX exhibitor in the U.S. with a 44% market share, and each of our IMAX local installations is protected by geographic exclusivity. As of March 31, 2016, our IMAX screen count is 70% greater than our closest competitor. AMC believes that we have had considerable success with our IMAX partnership, and is exploring with IMAX a significant increase to the number of our IMAX locations.
Dolby Cinema at AMC. On April 9, 2015, we, along with Dolby Laboratories, Inc., announced Dolby Cinema at AMC, a premium cinema offering for moviegoers that combines state-of-the-art image and sound technologies with inspired theatre design and comfort. Dolby Cinema at AMC includes Dolby Vision laser projection and object oriented Dolby Atmos® audio technology, as well as AMC's plush power reclining seats with seat transducers that vibrate with the action on screen.
As of March 31, 2016, we have 17 fully operational Dolby Cinema at AMC screens and we expect to open substantially more Dolby screens by the end of 2016.
Other PLF. AMC believes there is considerable opportunity to add a private label PLF format in many of our locations, with superior sight and sound technology and enhanced seating as contrasted with our traditional auditoriums. This PLF format will give AMC the capability to add a screen in theatres already outfitted with IMAX and/or Dolby Cinema at AMC. Also, this PLF should offer an enhanced theatrical experience for movie goers beyond AMC's current core theatres, but may not carry the same price premium as IMAX or Dolby Cinema at AMC. Therefore, it may be especially relevant in smaller or more price sensitive markets.
Guest Amenities
We continually upgrade the quality of our theatre circuit by adding new screens through new builds (including expansions) and acquisitions, substantial upgrades to seating concepts, expansion of food and beverage offerings (including dine-in theatres), and by disposing of older screens through closures and sales. We are an industry leader in the development and operation of theatres. Typically, our theatres have 12 or more screens and offer amenities to enhance the movie-going experience, such as stadium seating providing unobstructed viewing, digital sound and premium seat design.
Recliner seating is the key feature of theatre renovations. These renovations involve stripping theatres to their basic structure in order to replace finishes throughout, upgrade the sight and sound experience, install modernized points of sale and, most importantly, replace traditional theatre seats with plush, electric recliners that allow customers to deploy a leg rest and fully recline at the push of a button. The renovation process typically involves losing up to two-thirds of a given auditorium's seating capacity. For an industry historically focused on quantity, this reduction in seating capacity could be viewed as counter-intuitive and harmful to revenues. However, the quality improvement in the customer experience is driving a 60% increase in attendance at these locations. Our customers have responded favorably to the significant personal space gains from ample row depths, ability to recline or stretch their legs, extra-wide pillowed chaise and oversized armrests. The reseated theatres attract more midweek audiences than normal theatres and tend to draw more adults who pay higher ticket prices than teens or young children. We typically do not change ticket prices in the first year after construction, however, in subsequent years we typically increase our ticket prices at our reseated theatres.
Rebalancing of the new supply-demand relationship created by recliner seating presents us two further opportunities to improve customer convenience and maximize operating results: open-source internet ticketing and reserved seating.
Open-source internet ticketing makes all our seats (over 880,000) in all our theatres and auditoriums for all our showtimes as available as possible, on as many websites as possible. This is a significant departure from the years prior to 2012, when tickets to any one of our buildings were only
39
available on one website. We believe increased online access is important because it captures customers' purchase intent more immediately and directly than if we had to wait until they showed up at the theatre box office to make a purchase. Once our customers buy a ticket, they are less likely to change their mind. Carefully monitoring internet pre-sales also lets us adjust capacity in real time, moving movies that are poised to over perform to larger capacity or more auditoriums, thereby maximizing yield.
Reserved seating, at some of our busiest theatres, allows our customers to choose a specific seat in advance of the movie. We believe that knowing there is a specifically chosen seat waiting for a show that promises to be a sellout is comforting to our customers, and removes anxiety around the experience. We believe reserved seating will become increasingly prevalent to the point of being a pre-requisite in the medium-term future.
We believe the comfort and personal space gains from recliner seating, coupled with the immediacy of demand captured from open-source internet ticketing and the certainty offered by reserved seating distinguish us from our competitors.
Food and beverage sales are our second largest source of revenue after box office admissions. Food and beverage items traditionally include popcorn, soft drinks, candy and hot dogs. Different varieties of food and beverage items are offered at our theatres based on preferences in the particular geographic region. Our traditional food and beverage strategy emphasizes prominent and appealing food and beverage offerings designed for rapid service and efficiency, including a customer friendly self-serve experience. We design our theatres to have more food and beverage capacity to make it easier to serve larger numbers of customers. Strategic placement of large food and beverage operations within theatres increases their visibility, aids in reducing the length of lines, allows flexibility to introduce new concepts and improves traffic flow around the food and beverage stands.
To address recent consumer trends, we are expanding our menu of enhanced food and beverage products to include made-to-order drinks and meals, customized coffee, healthy snacks, premium beers, wine and mixed drinks and other gourmet products. We plan to invest across a spectrum of enhanced food and beverage formats, ranging from simple, less capital-intensive food and beverage design improvements to the development of new dine-in theatre options to rejuvenate theatres approaching the end of their useful lives as traditional movie theatres and, in some of our larger theatres, to more efficiently monetize attendance. The costs of these conversions in some cases are partially covered by investments from the theatre landlord. We currently operate 19 Dine-In Theatres that deliver chef-inspired menus with seat-side or delivery service to luxury recliners with tables. Our recent Dine-In Theatre concepts are designed to capitalize on the latest food service trend, the fast casual eating experience.
AMC Stubs
AMC Stubs is a customer frequency program which allows members to earn rewards, including $10 for each $100 spent, redeemable on future purchases at AMC locations. The portion of the admissions and food and beverage revenues attributed to the rewards is deferred as a reduction of admissions and food and beverage revenues and is allocated between admissions and food and beverage revenues based on expected member redemptions.
Upon redemption, deferred rewards are recognized as revenues along with associated cost of goods. Progress rewards (member expenditures toward earned rewards) for expired memberships are forfeited upon expiration of the membership and recognized as admissions or food and beverage revenues. The program's annual membership fee is deferred, net of estimated refunds, and is recognized ratably over the one-year membership period.
40
As of March 31, 2016, we had 2,606,000 AMC Stubs members. Our AMC Stubs members represented approximately 20% of our attendance during 2016 with an average ticket price 3% lower than our non-members and food and beverage expenditures per patron 3% higher than non-members.
In April of 2016, AMC launched a test of a revised AMC Stubs program featuring both a traditional paid membership program, called AMC Stubs Premiere, and a new non-paid tier called AMC Stubs Insider. Both programs reward loyal guests for their patronage of AMC Theatres, but the Premiere program provides greater rewards for dollars spent than the free program, and offers other guest amenities. AMC anticipates launching nationally this revised AMC Stubs program in the summer of 2016.

Significant and Subsequent Events
RealD Inc. We sold all of our 1,222,780 shares of common stock in RealD Inc. during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and recognized a gain on sale of $3,008,000. We have recorded a $13,451,000 receivable included in receivables, net related to the sale of our RealD Inc. shares as of March 31, 2016 and received the proceeds from the sale on April 9, 2016.
Carmike Cinemas. On March 3, 2016, we, and Carmike Cinemas, Inc. ("Carmike"), entered into a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which we will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Carmike for $30.00 per share in cash or approximately $757,000,000. We entered into a debt financing commitment letter in connection with the merger agreement which provides senior secured incremental term loans in an aggregate amount of up to $325,000,000 and a senior subordinated bridge loan in an aggregate amount of up to $300,000,000 to fund the acquisition. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in completing the debt financing on favorable terms as it involves matters outside of our control. The merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approval and approval by Carmike's shareholders. Carmike is a U.S. leader in digital cinema, 3D cinema deployments and alternative programming and is one of the nation's largest motion picture exhibitors. Carmike operates 276 theatres and 2,954 screens in 41 states focused primarily in mid-sized communities.
Starplex Cinemas. In December 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of Starplex Cinemas for cash. The purchase price for Starplex Cinemas was $172,243,000, net of cash acquired, and is subject to working capital and other purchase price adjustments as described in the stock purchase agreement. Starplex Cinemas operates 33 theatres with 346 screens in small and mid-size markets in 12 states, which further complements the Company's large market portfolio. The Company expects to realize synergies and cost savings related to this acquisition as a result of purchasing and procurement economies of scale and general and administrative expense savings, particularly with respect to the consolidation of corporate related functions and elimination of redundancies. In January 2016, we divested of two Starplex Cinemas theatres with 22 screens, as required by the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice. We received proceeds from the divestiture of approximately $5,390,000. For additional information about the Starplex Cinemas acquisition, see Note 2Acquisition to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q.
Corporate Borrowings. On December 11, 2015, AMCE entered into a first amendment to its Senior Secured Credit Agreement dated April 30, 2013 ("First Amendment"). The First Amendment provides for the incurrence of $125,000,000 incremental term loans ("Incremental Term Loan"). In addition, the First Amendment, among other things, (a) extends the maturity date with respect to (i) the existing Term Loan due 2020 and the Incremental Term Loan (together "Term Loan due 2022") to December 15, 2022 and (ii) the Revolving Credit Facility from April 30, 2018 to December 15, 2020 and (b) increases the applicable margin for the Term Loan due 2022 from 1.75% with respect to base rate borrowings to 2.25% and 2.75% with respect to LIBOR borrowings to 3.25%. We capitalized deferred financing costs of approximately $6,545,000 related to the modification of the Revolving Credit Facility and approximately $3,329,000 related to the modification of the term loans under the Senior Secured Credit Facility. The proceeds of the Incremental Term Loan were used by AMCE to pay expenses related to the First Amendment transactions and the Starplex Cinemas acquisition. At March 31, 2016, the aggregate principal balance of the Term Loan due 2022 was $878,423,000 and borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facility were $25,000,000. As of March 31, 2016, AMCE had approximately $112,384,000 available for borrowing, net of letters of credit, under its Revolving Credit Facility.
Notes due 2025. On June 5, 2015, AMCE issued $600,000,000 aggregate principal amount of its Notes due 2025 in a private offering. AMCE capitalized deferred financing costs of approximately $11,378,000, related to the issuance of the Notes due 2025. The Notes due 2025 mature on June 15,
42
2025. AMCE will pay interest on the Notes due 2025 at 5.75% per annum, semi-annually in arrears on June 15th and December 15th, commencing on December 15, 2015. AMCE may redeem some or all of the Notes due 2025 at any time on or after June 15, 2020 at 102.875% of the principal amount thereof, declining ratably to 100% of the principal amount thereof on or after June 15, 2023, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. Prior to June 15, 2020, AMCE may redeem the Notes due 2025 at par plus a make-whole premium. AMCE used the net proceeds from the Notes due 2025 private offering and cash on hand, to pay the consideration for the tender offer for the 9.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020 ("Notes due 2020"), plus any accrued and unpaid interest and related transaction fees and expenses.
On June 5, 2015, in connection with the issuance of the Notes due 2025, AMCE entered into a registration rights agreement. Subject to the terms of the registration rights agreement, AMCE filed a registration statement on June 19, 2015 pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, relating to an offer to exchange the original Notes due 2025 for exchange Notes due 2025 registered pursuant to an effective registration statement; the registration statement was declared effective on June 29, 2015, and AMCE commenced the exchange offer. The exchange notes have terms substantially identical to the original notes except that the exchange notes do not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions and registration rights and additional interest payable for the failure to consummate the exchange offer within 210 days after the issue date. After the exchange offer expired on July 27, 2015, all of the original Notes due 2025 were exchanged.
Notes due 2020. On May 26, 2015, AMCE launched a cash tender offer for any and all of its outstanding Notes due 2020 at a purchase price of $1,093 for each $1,000 principal amount of Notes due 2020 validly tendered and accepted by AMCE on or before June 2, 2015 (the "Expiration Date"). Holders of $581,324,000, or approximately 96.9%, of the Notes due 2020 validly tendered and did not withdraw their Notes due 2020 on or prior to the Expiration Date. On October 30, 2015, AMCE gave notice of its intention to redeem any and all of the remaining $18,676,000 principal amount of the Notes due 2020 on December 1, 2015 at 104.875% of the principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the redemption date. AMCE completed the redemption of all of its outstanding Notes due 2020 on December 1, 2015.
On March 31, 2016, AMCE merged with and into Holdings, its direct parent company. In connection with the merger, Holdings assumed all of the obligations of AMCE pursuant to the indentures to the 5.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2022, the 5.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2025 and the Credit Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2013 (as subsequently amended).
Postretirement Medical Plan Termination. On January 12, 2015, the Compensation Committee and the Board of Directors of Holdings, adopted resolutions to terminate the AMC Postretirement Medical Plan with an effective date of March 31, 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we notified eligible associates that their retiree medical coverage under the plan will terminate after March 31, 2015. Payments to eligible associates were approximately $4,300,000 during the twelve months ended December 31, 2015. We recorded net periodic benefit credits of $18,118,000, including curtailment gains, settlement gains, amortization of unrecognized prior service credits and amortization of actuarial gains recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the termination and settlement of the plan during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

We present Adjusted EBITDA as a supplemental measure of our performance that is commonly used in our industry. We define Adjusted EBITDA as net earnings plus (i) income tax provision (benefit), (ii) interest expense and (iii) depreciation and amortization, as further adjusted to eliminate the impact of certain items that we do not consider indicative of our ongoing operating performance and to include any cash distributions of earnings from our equity method investees. These further adjustments are itemized below. You are encouraged to evaluate these adjustments and the reasons we consider them appropriate for supplemental analysis. In evaluating Adjusted EBITDA, you should be aware that in the future we may incur expenses that are the same as or similar to some of the adjustments in this presentation. Our presentation of Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an inference that our future results will be unaffected by unusual or non-recurring items.
The following table sets forth our reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA:

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure commonly used in our industry and should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings (loss) as an indicator of operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow provided by operating activities as a measure of liquidity (as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP). Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies. We have included Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it provides management and investors with additional information to measure our performance and liquidity, estimate our value and evaluate our ability to service debt.
Adjusted EBITDA has important limitations as an analytical tool, and you should not consider it in isolation, or as a substitute for analysis of our results as reported under U.S. GAAP. For example, Adjusted EBITDA:
Results of OperationsFor the Three Months Ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015
Revenues. Total revenues increased 17.3%, or $112,893,000, during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015. Admissions revenues increased 15.3%, or $63,880,000, during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015, primarily due to a 14.5% increase in attendance and a 0.7% increase in average ticket price. The increase in attendance was primarily due to the popularity of film product during the current period, the acquisition of Starplex Cinemas in December of 2015 and our comfort and convenience theatre renovation initiatives. Total admissions revenues were increased by rewards redeemed, net of deferrals, of $620,000 and $208,000 related to rewards accumulated under AMC Stubs during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the three months ended March 31, 2015, respectively. The rewards accumulated under AMC Stubs are deferred and recognized in future periods upon redemption or expiration of customer rewards. The increase in average ticket price was primarily due to an increase in tickets purchased for 3D and IMAX premium format film product, partially offset by lower average ticket prices at Starplex Cinemas.
Food and beverage revenues increased 21.8%, or $43,628,000, during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015, primarily due to the increase in attendance and an increase in food and beverage revenues per patron of 6.2%. The increase in food and beverage revenues per patron reflects increased prices effective at the start of the fourth quarter of calendar 2015 and the contribution of our food and beverage strategic initiatives. Total food and beverage revenues were increased by rewards redeemed, net of deferrals, of $866,000 and $213,000 related to rewards accumulated under AMC Stubs during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the three months ended March 31, 2015, respectively.
Total other theatre revenues increased 15.9%, or $5,385,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015, primarily due to increases in income from internet ticket fees related to our comfort and convenience initiatives and higher attendance levels, gift card sales, and advertising revenues.
47
Operating costs and expenses. Operating costs and expenses increased 13.8%, or $85,695,000, during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015. Film exhibition costs increased 17.6%, or $39,266,000, during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015, primarily due to the increase in admissions revenues and the increase in film exhibition costs as a percentage of admission revenues. As a percentage of admissions revenues, film exhibition costs were 54.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 53.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 due to a change in mix to higher grossing film product carrying higher percentage film rent.
Food and beverage costs increased 19.1%, or $5,457,000, during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015. As a percentage of food and beverage revenues, food and beverage costs were 13.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 14.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2015 due to increases in retail selling prices in excess of cost increases at the start of the fourth quarter of 2015 for our food and beverage products. The increase in food and beverage costs was primarily due to the increase in food and beverage revenues. Food and beverage gross profit per patron increased 6.8%, and is calculated as food and beverage revenues less food and beverage costs divided by attendance.
As a percentage of revenues, operating expense was 26.4% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to 28.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2015, primarily due to the increase in revenues, partially offset by increases in salaries, 3D and IMAX format and licensing fees and credit card expense. Rent expense increased 5.7%, or $6,663,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015, primarily from the increase in the number of theatres operated including the acquisition of Starplex Cinemas, partially offset by declines in common area maintenance expense.
General and Administrative Expense:
Merger, acquisition and transaction costs. Merger, acquisition and transaction costs were $4,604,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $1,578,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2015, primarily due to an increase in professional and consulting costs and increased merger and acquisition activity associated with our proposed Carmike merger.
Other. Other general and administrative expense increased $13,575,000, during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015, due primarily to the net periodic benefit credit of $18,118,000 related to the termination and settlement of the AMC Postretirement Medical Plan recorded in the prior year and an increase in legal expenses of $1,674,000 partially offset by declines in stock-based compensation expense of $4,652,000 due to an increase in vesting periods compared to the prior year. See Note 9Employee Benefit Plans of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q for further information regarding the components of net periodic benefit credit, including recognition of the prior service credits and net actuarial gains recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income, curtailment gains, and settlement gains during the three months ended March 31, 2015.
Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization increased 4.6%, or $2,653,000, during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015, primarily due to the increase in depreciable assets resulting from capital expenditures of $57,657,000 and $333,423,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the twelve months ended December 31, 2015, respectively and the acquisition of Starplex Cinemas, partially offset by declines in depreciation expense for assets that have become fully depreciated.
48
Other Expense (Income):
Other expense. Other expense during the three months ended March 31, 2016 was due to legal costs related to the cash tender offer and redemption of the Notes due 2020 of $26,000.
Interest expense. Interest expense decreased 4.9%, or $1,390,000, for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015, primarily due to the decrease in interest rates for corporate borrowings partially offset by an increase in aggregate average principal amounts outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2016. In June 2015, we completed an offering of $600,000,000 principal amount of our 5.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2025 and extinguished $581,324,000 principal amount of our 9.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020. In December 2015, we extinguished the remaining $18,676,000 principal amount of our 9.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2020, issued additional term loans due 2022 of $125,000,000 under our Senior Secured Credit Agreement and borrowed $75,000,000 on our Revolving Credit Facility. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 we repaid $50,000,000 of amounts borrowed on our Revolving Credit Facility.
Equity in earnings of non-consolidated entities. Equity in earnings of non-consolidated entities were $4,264,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to $1,324,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The increase in equity in earnings of non-consolidated entities of $2,904,000 was primarily due to decreases in losses from NCM of $4,522,000, partially offset by decreases in equity in earnings from Open Road Films of $1,286,000. During the three months ended March 30, 2016, we continued to suspend equity method accounting for our investment in Open Road Films as the negative investment in Open Road Films had reached our commitment of $10,000,000. The cash distributions from non-consolidated entities were $17,681,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2016, and $14,486,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2015, which includes payments related to the NCM tax receivable agreement recorded in investment income. See Note 3Investments of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q for further information.
Investment income. Investment income was $9,954,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to investment income of $5,143,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. Investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 includes payments received of $7,218,000 related to the NCM tax receivable agreement compared to payments received of $5,352,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2015. Investment income for the three months ended March 31, 2016 also includes a $3,008,000 gain on sale of all of our 1,222,780 common shares held in RealD Inc.
Income tax provision. The income tax provision from continuing operations was $18,090,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and $3,930,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2015. See Note 5Income Taxes of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I of this Form 10-Q for further information.
Net earnings. Net earnings were $28,291,000 and $6,138,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively. Net earnings during the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2015 were positively impacted by the increase in attendance, food and beverage revenue per patron and average ticket price, the increase in investment income, the decrease in interest expense, and the increase in equity in earnings of non-consolidated entities. Net earnings were negatively impacted by the increase in general and administrative: other and merger acquisition and transaction costs, income tax provision, rent and the increase in depreciation expense.
49
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our consolidated revenues are primarily collected in cash, principally through box office admissions and food and beverage sales. We have an operating "float" which partially finances our operations and which generally permits us to maintain a smaller amount of working capital capacity. This float exists because admissions revenues are received in cash, while exhibition costs (primarily film rentals) are ordinarily paid to distributors from 20 to 45 days following receipt of box office admissions revenues. Film distributors generally release the films which they anticipate will be the most successful during the summer and year-end holiday seasons. Consequently, we typically generate higher revenues during such periods.
We had working capital deficit as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 of $297,234,000 and $297,787,000, respectively. Working capital included $183,072,000 and $221,679,000 of deferred revenues and income as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. We have the ability to borrow under our Senior Secured Credit Facility to meet obligations as they come due (subject to limitations on the incurrence of indebtedness in our various debt instruments). As of March 31, 2016, we had $112,384,000 available for borrowing, net of letters of credit, under our revolving Senior Secured Credit Facility.
We believe that cash generated from operations and existing cash and equivalents and "float" will be sufficient to fund operations and planned capital expenditures currently and for at least the next 12 months and enable us to maintain compliance with covenants related to the Senior Secured Credit Facility, the Notes due 2022, and the Notes due 2025.
As of March 31, 2016, we were in compliance with all financial covenants relating to the Senior Secured Credit Facility, the Notes due 2022, and the Notes due 2025.
Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash flows provided by operating activities, as reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, were $22,871,000 and $21,563,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively. The increase in cash flows provided by operating activities was primarily due to increases in net earnings and contributions from landlords partially offset by increases in payments for working capital items.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Cash flows used in investing activities, as reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, were $51,625,000 and $71,378,000, during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively. Cash outflows from investing activities include capital expenditures of $57,657,000 and $69,590,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively. Our capital expenditures primarily consisted of strategic growth initiatives and remodels, capital improvements to existing locations in our theatre circuit, and technology upgrades. We expect that our gross cash outflows for capital expenditures will be approximately $400,000,000 to $420,000,000 for 2016, before giving effect to expected landlord contributions of approximately $120,000,000 to $130,000,000, resulting in a net cash outlay of approximately $280,000,000 to $290,000,000.
We fund the costs of constructing, maintaining and remodeling our theatres through existing cash balances; cash generated from operations, landlord contributions, or borrowed funds, as necessary. We generally lease our theatres pursuant to long-term non-cancelable operating leases which may require the developer, who owns the property, to reimburse us for the construction costs. We may decide to own the real estate assets of new theatres and, following construction, sell and leaseback the real estate assets pursuant to long-term non-cancelable operating leases.
50
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Cash flows used in financing activities, as reflected in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, were $74,582,000 and $23,645,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively. Financing activities for the current period consisted of dividend payments and repayments of $50,000,000 related to our revolving Senior Secured Credit Facility and capital and financing lease obligations. On February 25, 2016, our Board of Directors declared a cash dividend in the amount of $0.20 per share of Class A and Class B common stock, payable on March 21, 2016 to stockholders of record on March 7, 2016. We paid dividends and dividend equivalents of $19,803,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and $19,821,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2015.
Investment in NCM LLC
We hold an investment of 17.40% in NCM LLC and 200,000 shares of NCM, Inc. accounted for under the equity method as of March 31, 2016. The estimated fair market value of our investment in NCM and NCM, Inc. was approximately $365,998,000, based upon the publically quoted price per share of NCM, Inc. on March 31, 2016 of $15.21 per share. We have little tax basis in these units, therefore the sale of all these units at March 31, 2016 would require us to report taxable income of approximately $453,800,000, including distributions received from NCM LLC that were previously deferred. Our investment in NCM LLC is a source of liquidity for us and we expect that any sales we may make of NCM LLC units would be made in such a manner to most efficiently manage any related tax liability. We have available net operating loss carryforwards which could reduce any related tax liability.
Commitments and Contingencies
The Company has commitments and contingencies for capital and financing leases, corporate borrowings, operating leases, capital related betterments and pension funding that were summarized in a table in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Since December 31, 2015, there have been no material changes to the commitments and contingencies of the Company outside the ordinary course of business.
New Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 11New Accounting Pronouncements of the Notes to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 of Part I for further information regarding recently issued accounting standards.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to various market risks.
Market risk on variable-rate financial instruments. At March 31, 2016, we maintained a Senior Secured Credit Facility comprised of a $150,000,000 revolving credit facility and $900,000,000 of Senior Secured Term Loans due 2022. The Senior Secured Credit Facility provides for borrowings at a rate equal to an applicable margin plus, at our option, either a base rate or LIBOR, with a minimum base rate of 1.75% and a minimum rate for LIBOR borrowings of 0.75%. The rate in effect at March 31, 2016 for the outstanding Senior Secured Term Loan due 2022 was a LIBOR-based rate of 4.00% per annum. Increases in market interest rates would cause interest expense to increase and earnings before income taxes to decrease. The change in interest expense and earnings before income taxes would be dependent upon the weighted average outstanding borrowings during the reporting period following an increase in market interest rates. At March 31, 2016, we had $25,000,000 variable-rate borrowings under our revolving credit facility and had an aggregate principal balance of $878,423,000 outstanding under the Senior Secured Term Loan due 2022. A 100 basis point change in market interest rates
51
would have increased or decreased interest expense on the Senior Secured Credit Facility by $2,294,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2016.
Market risk on fixed-rate financial instruments. Included in long-term corporate borrowings at March 31, 2016 were principal amounts of $600,000,000 of our Notes due 2025 and $375,000,000 of our Notes due 2022. Increases in market interest rates would generally cause a decrease in the fair value of the Notes due 2025 and Notes due 2022 and a decrease in market interest rates would generally cause an increase in fair value of the Notes due 2025 and Notes due 2022.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
The Company maintains a set of disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that material information required to be disclosed in its filings under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission's rules and forms and that material information is accumulated and communicated to the Company's management, including its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The Company's Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have evaluated these disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and have determined that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent calendar quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
52
Reference is made to Note 10Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to the Company's Consolidated Financial Statements contained elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q for information on certain litigation to which we are a party.
Reference is made to Part I Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. There have been no material changes in our risk factors from those previously discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

None.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures
Not applicable.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
AMC Entertainment Inc. (the Borrower or you) has advised Citi (as defined below, Citi), Bank of America, N.A. (Bank of America), Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith Incorporated (MLPFS), Barclays Bank PLC (Barclays), Credit Suisse AG (acting through such of its affiliates or branches as it deems appropriate, CS), Credit Suisse Securities (USA) LLC (CS Securities and, together with CS and their respective affiliates, Credit Suisse), HSBC Bank USA, N.A. (HSBC Bank) and HSBC Securities (USA) Inc. (HSBC Securities and, together with Citi, Bank of America, MLPFS, Barclays, Credit Suisse and HSBC Bank, collectively the Commitment Parties, the Agents, we or us) that it intends to consummate the Transactions (such term and each other capitalized term used but not defined herein having the meaning assigned to such term in the Transaction Description attached hereto as Exhibit A (the Transaction Description), in the Summary of Principal Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit B (the Incremental Term Loan B Term Sheet) or in the Summary of Principal Terms and Conditions attached hereto as Exhibit C (the Senior Subordinated Bridge Facility Term Sheet and, together with the Incremental Term Loan B Term Sheet and the Summary of Conditions Precedent attached as Exhibit D hereto, the Term Sheets; and together with this commitment letter, collectively, this Commitment Letter)).
For purposes of this Commitment Letter, Citi shall mean Citigroup Global Markets Inc., Citibank, N.A., Citicorp USA, Inc., Citicorp North America, Inc. and/or any of their affiliates as Citi shall determine to be appropriate to provide the services contemplated herein.
This Commitment Letter amends and restates in its entirety the commitment letter dated March 3, 2016 (the Original Commitment Letter), between Citi and you.

It is agreed that (i) Citi shall have left placement in any and all marketing materials or other documentation used in connection with the Facilities and shall hold the leading role and responsibility conventionally associated with such left placement and Citi will perform the duties and exercise the authority customarily performed and exercised by it in the foregoing roles, (ii) MLPFS will appear immediately to the right of Citi with respect to any and all marketing materials or other documentation used in connection with the Facilities and to the left of all other financial institutions (other than Citi), and (iii) Barclays, CS Securities and HSBC Securities will appear, in alphabetical order, immediately to the right of MLPFS with respect to any and all marketing materials or other documentation used in connection with the Facilities. You further agree that no other titles will be awarded and no compensation (other than that expressly contemplated by this Commitment Letter and the Fee Letter referred to below) will be paid in order to obtain commitments to participate in the Facilities unless you and the Commitment Parties shall so agree.
3. Syndication.
We reserve the right, prior to and/or after the execution of the applicable definitive documentation for the respective Facilities (the Credit Documentation), to syndicate all or a portion of our commitments with respect to the Facilities to a group of banks, financial institutions and other lenders identified by us in consultation with you and subject to your consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) (together with the Initial Lenders, the Lenders) pursuant to a syndication to be managed exclusively by the Lead Arrangers; provided that we will not syndicate the Facilities to (i) those persons identified by you in writing to us prior to the date of the Original Commitment Letter, (ii) any person identified by name by you in writing to us from time to time that is or becomes a competitor of the Borrower, the Target or any of their respective subsidiaries (each such person, a Competitor), (iii) any affiliates (other than any Debt Fund Affiliate (as defined below)) of any person described in clause (i) or (ii) above that are clearly identifiable as affiliates solely on the basis of their name (provided that the Lead Arrangers shall have no obligation to carry out due diligence in order to identify such affiliates) and (iv) any other affiliate (other than any Debt Fund Affiliate) of any person described in clause (i) or (ii) above that is identified by name by you in writing to us from time to time (such persons, collectively, the Disqualified Institutions). Subject to the foregoing rights, the Lead Arrangers will manage all aspects of the syndication of the Facilities in consultation with you, including, without limitation, timing, potential syndicate members to be approached, titles and allocations and division of fees. For purposes of the foregoing, Debt Fund Affiliate means, with respect to any person, a bona fide debt fund that is an affiliate of such person and that is primarily engaged in, or advises fund or other investment vehicles that are engaged in, making, purchasing, holding or otherwise investing in commercial loans, notes, bonds and similar extensions of credit or securities in the ordinary course of its business, whose managers have fiduciary duties to the investors independent of their duties to such person or other affiliates, and with respect to which such person and its other affiliates do not, directly or indirectly, possess the power to direct or cause the direction of the investment policies of such entity.
We intend to commence our syndication efforts with respect to the Facilities promptly upon your execution and delivery to us of this Commitment Letter, and, until the earlier to occur of (i) a Successful Syndication (as defined in the Fee Letter) and (ii) 60 days after the Closing Date (such period, the Syndication Period), you agree actively to assist us in completing a syndication that is reasonably satisfactory to us. Such assistance shall include (i) your using commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that any syndication and marketing efforts benefit from your (and, to the extent practical and appropriate, the Targets) existing lending and investment banking relationships, (ii) direct contact between appropriate members of senior management, certain representatives and certain non-legal advisors of you (and your using commercially reasonable efforts to cause direct contact between appropriate members of senior management, certain representatives and certain non-legal advisors of the Target), on the one hand, and the proposed Lenders and rating agencies identified by the Lead Arrangers, on the other hand, at times and places mutually agreed, (iii) assistance by you (and your using commercially reasonable efforts to cause the assistance by the Target) in the prompt preparation of a customary Confidential Information Memorandum for each of the Facilities and other customary marketing materials and information reasonably deemed necessary by the Lead Arrangers to complete a successful syndication (collectively, the Information Materials) for delivery to potential syndicate members and participants, including, without limitation, estimates, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking financial information regarding the future performance of the Borrower, the Target and their respective subsidiaries subject to limitations on your rights to request information concerning the Target and its subsidiaries set forth in the Acquisition Agreement (such estimates, forecasts, projections and other forward-looking information, collectively, the Projections), (iv) the hosting, with the Lead Arrangers, of one or more meetings with prospective Lenders at reasonable times and locations to be mutually agreed, and (v) your using commercially reasonable efforts to obtain (or maintain, to the extent already in effect as of the date hereof), prior to the launch of the syndication of the Facilities and the marketing of the Senior Subordinated Notes (as defined below), public ratings (but no specific ratings) for the Incremental Term Loan B Facility and the Senior Subordinated Notes from each of Standard & Poors Ratings Services (S&P) and Moodys Investors Service, Inc.

Transaction Description
Capitalized terms used but not defined in this Exhibit A shall have the meanings set forth in the commitment letter to which this Exhibit A is attached (the Commitment Letter) and in the other Exhibits to the Commitment Letter.
The Borrower intends to (i) acquire all of the outstanding equity of a company identified to us and code-named Carl (Target and, together with its subsidiaries (if any), the Acquired Business) on the Closing Date (as defined below), by way of (a) a purchase transaction and merger of a newly-formed direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary (such subsidiary, Merger Sub) of the Borrower with and into the Target (the Merger) in accordance with the Acquisition Agreement, either as a forward or reverse merger with the Merger Sub or the Target as the surviving entity of the Merger (such entity, the Surviving Company) (the Acquisition); and (ii) refinance in full all outstanding indebtedness (other than contingent obligations not then due and that by their terms expressly survive the termination of the foregoing) outstanding and terminate all commitments under that certain Credit Agreement dated as of June 17, 2015 by and among Target and the lenders and agents party thereto, as amended, of the Target (such refinancings, the Refinancing).
You have further advised us that in connection with the Acquisition:
(A) on the date of the consummation of the Merger, the Borrower shall borrow incremental term loans (the Incremental Term Loan B Facility) under the Borrowers existing credit agreement dated April 30, 2013 (as amended by that certain First Amendment to Credit Agreement dated December 11, 2015, the Existing Credit Agreement) in an aggregate amount of up to $560.0 million, which shall be decreased by $235.0 million upon achievement of a Successful Solicitation (the date of the consummation of the Merger, the Acquisition and funding of the Incremental Term Loan B Facility and the Senior Subordinated Bridge Facility (if applicable), the Closing Date) and may, at the Borrowers option, be decreased by the proceeds of Senior Subordinated Notes in accordance with clause (B) below;
(B) the Borrower will, at its option, either (i) issue in one or more Offerings (as defined below) an aggregate principal amount of its senior subordinated notes (the Senior Subordinated Notes) that, taken together, generate gross proceeds on or prior to the Closing Date of not less than $300.0 million with the proceeds deposited into an escrow account pending release on the Closing Date; or (ii) to the extent the Borrower receives gross proceeds from the Offerings on or prior to the Closing Date in an amount less than $300.0 million, then the Borrower will borrow on the Closing Date senior subordinated bridge loans (the Senior Subordinated Bridge Loans) under a senior subordinated increasing rate bridge facility (the Senior Subordinated Bridge Facility and, together with the Incremental Term Loan B Facility, the Facilities) in an aggregate principal amount of up to $300.0 million; provided, for the avoidance of doubt, that at the Borrowers option, a portion of the Incremental Term Loan B Facility may be allocated to the issuance of the Senior Subordinated Notes; and
(C) (i) promptly following the date hereof, the Borrower will commence or continue, and use commercially reasonable efforts to consummate, a solicitation (the Solicitation) of the requisite consents from the holders (the Successful Solicitation) of the existing $230.0 million 6.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2023 (the Target Notes) issued under the indenture dated as of June 17, 2015 (the Target Indenture) among the Target, the guarantors party thereto and Wells Fargo Bank, as trustee (the Trustee) to amend (the Amendment) the Target Indenture such that no aspects of the Transactions will constitute a Change of Control (as defined in the Target Indenture) by a supplemental indenture (which shall be in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Lead Arrangers) among the Trustee, the Target and the guarantors under the Target Indenture (such Solicitation may include amendments to additional provisions of the Target Indenture as determined by the Borrower) ;
(ii) if there is no Successful Solicitation, the Borrower intends to consummate either (a) a Change of Control Offer as defined in the Target Indenture pursuant to the terms of the Target Indenture, with the purchase of any tendered Target Notes in such Change of Control Offer conditioned upon the consummation of the Merger or (b) in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing, the Borrower shall cause Target to issue a notice of redemption for the Target Notes on the Closing Date.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION | |
BASIS OF PRESENTATION | NOTE 1—BASIS OF PRESENTATION AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. ("Holdings"), through its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including American Multi-Cinema, Inc. and its subsidiaries, (collectively with Holdings, unless the context otherwise requires, the "Company" or "AMC"), is principally involved in the theatrical exhibition business and owns, operates or has interests in theatres primarily located in the United States. Holdings is an indirect subsidiary of Dalian Wanda Group Co., Ltd. ("Wanda"), a Chinese private conglomerate. On March 31, 2016, AMC Entertainment Inc. ("AMCE") merged with and into Holdings, its direct parent company. In connection with the merger, Holdings assumed all of the obligations of AMCE pursuant to the indentures to the 5.875% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2022, the 5.75% Senior Subordinated Notes due 2025 and the Credit Agreement, dated as of April 30, 2013 (as subsequently amended). As of March 31, 2016, Wanda owned approximately 77.82% of Holdings' outstanding common stock and 91.32% of the combined voting power of Holdings' outstanding common stock and has the power to control Holdings' affairs and policies, including with respect to the election of directors (and, through the election of directors, the appointment of management), entering into mergers, sales of substantially all of the Company's assets and other extraordinary transactions. Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to: (1) Impairments, (2) Film exhibition costs, (3) Income and operating taxes, (4) Theatre and other closure expense, and (5) Gift card and exchange ticket income. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holdings and all subsidiaries, as discussed above, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015, which was derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position and results of operations. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. There are no noncontrolling (minority) interests in the Company's consolidated subsidiaries; consequently, all of its stockholders' equity, net earnings and total comprehensive income for the periods presented are attributable to controlling interests. Due to the seasonal nature of the Company's business, results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the twelve months ending December 31, 2016. The Company manages its business under one reportable segment called Theatrical Exhibition. Change in Accounting Principle: The Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-03 and 2015-15, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) as of the beginning of 2016 on a retrospective basis. As a result of the adoption of ASU No. 2015-03 and ASU No. 2015-15, the Company reclassified $21,768,000 of debt issuance costs for its term loan and senior subordinated notes from other long-term assets to corporate borrowings in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2015. The Company continues to defer and present its debt issuance costs related to its line-of-credit arrangement as an asset regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement as provided in ASU No. 2015-15.

ACQUISITION | NOTE 2—ACQUISITION In December 2015, the Company completed the acquisition of SMH Theatres, Inc. ("Starplex Cinemas") for cash. The purchase price for Starplex Cinemas was $172,243,000, net of cash acquired, and was subject to working capital and other purchase price adjustments as described in the stock purchase agreement. Starplex Cinemas operates 33 theatres with 346 screens in small and mid-size markets in 12 states, which further complements the Company's large market portfolio. The Company expects to realize synergies and cost savings related to this acquisition as a result of purchasing and procurement economies of scale and general and administrative expense savings, particularly with respect to the consolidation of corporate related functions and elimination of redundancies. The acquisition is being treated as a purchase in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, ("ASC") 805, Business Combinations, which requires allocation of the purchase price to the estimated fair values of assets and liabilities acquired in the transaction. The allocation of purchase price is based on management's judgment after evaluating several factors, including bid prices from potential buyers and a preliminary valuation assessment. The allocation of purchase price is preliminary and subject to changes as an appraisal of both tangible and intangible assets and liabilities is finalized, working capital and other purchase price adjustments are completed and additional information regarding the tax bases of assets and liabilities becomes available. The following is a summary of a preliminary allocation of the purchase price:
The fair value measurement of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities were based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements within the fair value measurement hierarchy. Level 3 fair market values were determined using a variety of information, including estimated future cash flows, appraisals, and market comparables. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company incurred integration and acquisition-related costs for Starplex Cinemas of approximately $1,218,000, which were included in general and administrative expense: merger, acquisition and transaction costs in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Company's operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2015 were not materially impacted by this acquisition. In connection with the acquisition of Starplex Cinemas, the Company classified two Starplex Cinemas theatres with 22 screens as held for sale as of December 31, 2015, that were divested in January 2016 as required by the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice. Assets held for sale of approximately $5,390,000 were classified as other current assets in the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2015. As of March 31, 2016, the Company recorded amounts due from Starplex of $211,000 that relate to preliminary working capital adjustments and reduced the total estimated purchase price. Activity of goodwill is presented below:

STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY | NOTE 4—STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY Common Stock Rights and Privileges The rights of the holders of Holdings' Class A common stock and Holdings' Class B common stock are identical, except with respect to voting and conversion applicable to the Class B common stock. Holders of Holdings' Class A common stock are entitled to one vote per share and holders of Holdings' Class B common stock are entitled to three votes per share. Holders of Class A common stock and Class B common stock will share ratably (based on the number of shares of common stock held) in any dividend declared by its board of directors, subject to any preferential rights of any outstanding preferred stock. The Class A common stock is not convertible into any other shares of Holdings' capital stock. Each share of Class B common stock is convertible at any time at the option of the holder into one share of Class A common stock. In addition, each share of Class B common stock shall convert automatically into one share of Class A common stock upon any transfer, whether or not for value, except for certain transfers described in Holdings' certificate of incorporation. Dividends The following is a summary of dividends and dividend equivalents paid to stockholders during the three months ended March 31, 2016:
On February 25, 2016, the Company's Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of approximately $19,762,000. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, the Company paid dividends and dividend equivalents of $19,803,000, increased additional paid-in capital for recognition of deferred tax assets of $123,000 related to the dividends equivalents paid, decreased additional paid-in capital for reversal of deferred tax assets for the settlement of stock awards by $119,000, decreased additional paid-in capital for 20,805 shares surrendered to pay payroll and income taxes by $472,000, and accrued $124,000 for the remaining unpaid dividends at March 31, 2016. The aggregate dividends paid for Class A common stock, Class B common stock, and dividend equivalents were approximately $4,323,000, $15,165,000, and $315,000, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2016. Related Party Transaction As of March 31, 2016, the Company recorded a receivable due from Wanda of $214,000 for reimbursement of general administrative and other expense incurred on behalf of Wanda. Temporary Equity Certain members of management have the right to require Holdings to repurchase the Class A common stock held by them under certain limited circumstances pursuant to the terms of a stockholders agreement. Beginning on January 1, 2016 (or upon the termination of a management stockholder's employment by the Company without cause, by the management stockholder for good reason, or due to the management stockholder's death or disability) management stockholders will have the right, in limited circumstances, to require Holdings to purchase shares that are not fully and freely tradeable at a price equal to the price per share paid by such management stockholder with appropriate adjustments for any subsequent events such as dividends, splits, or combinations. The shares of Class A common stock, subject to the stockholder agreement, are classified as temporary equity, apart from permanent equity, as a result of the contingent redemption feature contained in the stockholder agreement. The Company determined the amount reflected in temporary equity for the Class A common stock based on the price paid per share by the management stockholders and Wanda on August 30, 2012, the date Wanda acquired Holdings. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, a former employee who held 27,197 shares, relinquished his put right, therefore the related share amount of $284,000 was reclassified to additional paid-in capital, a component of stockholders' equity. Stock-Based Compensation Holdings adopted a stock-based compensation plan in December of 2013. The Company recognized stock-based compensation expense of $1,087,000 and $5,739,000 within general and administrative: other during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015, respectively.

The Company expects to recognize compensation cost of $5,179,000 during the reminder of calendar 2016 and $4,806,000 in calendar 2017 and 2018. 2013 Equity Incentive Plan The 2013 Equity Incentive Plan provides for grants of non-qualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance stock units, stock awards, and cash performance awards.

INCOME TAXES | |
INCOME TAXES | NOTE 5—INCOME TAXES The Company's effective income tax rate is based on expected income, statutory rates and tax planning opportunities available in the various jurisdictions in which it operates. For interim financial reporting, the Company estimates the annual income tax rate based on projected taxable income for the full year and records a quarterly income tax provision or benefit in accordance with the anticipated annual rate, adjusted for discrete items, if any. The Company refines the estimates of the year's taxable income as new information becomes available, including actual year-to-date financial results. This continual estimation process often results in a change to the expected effective income tax rate for the year. When this occurs, the Company adjusts the income tax provision during the quarter in which the change in estimate occurs so that the year-to-date provision reflects the expected income tax rate. Significant judgment is required in determining the effective tax rate and in evaluating tax positions. The Company recognizes income tax-related interest expense and penalties as income tax expense and general and administrative expense, respectively. The effective tax rate based on the projected annual taxable income for the year ending December 31, 2016 is 39.0%. The effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 was 39.0%. The Company's tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and March 31, 2015 differs from the statutory tax rate primarily due to state income taxes.

FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS | NOTE 6—FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS Fair value refers to the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants in the market in which the entity transacts business. The inputs used to develop these fair value measurements are established in a hierarchy, which ranks the quality and reliability of the information used to determine the fair values. The fair value classification is based on levels of inputs. Assets and liabilities that are carried at fair value are classified and disclosed in one of the following categories:
Recurring Fair Value Measurements. The following table summarizes the fair value hierarchy of the Company's financial assets carried at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2016:
Valuation Techniques. The Company's money market mutual funds are invested in funds that seek to preserve principal, are highly liquid, and therefore are recorded on the balance sheet at the principal amounts deposited, which equals fair value. The equity securities, available-for-sale, primarily consist of common stock and mutual funds invested in equity, fixed income, and international funds and are measured at fair value using quoted market prices. See Note 8—Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the unrealized gain on the equity securities recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income. Other Fair Value Measurement Disclosures. The Company is required to disclose the fair value of financial instruments that are not recognized at fair value in the statement of financial position for which it is practicable to estimate that value:
Valuation Technique. Quoted market prices and observable market based inputs were used to estimate fair value for Level 2 inputs. The Level 3 fair value measurement represents the transaction price of the corporate borrowings under market conditions.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS | NOTE 9—EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS The Company sponsors frozen non-contributory qualified and non-qualified defined benefit pension plans generally covering all employees who, prior to the freeze, were age 21 or older and had completed at least 1,000 hours of service in their first twelve months of employment, or in a calendar year ending thereafter, and who were not covered by a collective bargaining agreement. The Company also offered eligible retirees the opportunity to participate in a health plan. Certain employees were eligible for subsidized postretirement medical benefits. The eligibility for these benefits was based upon a participant's age and service as of January 1, 2009. The Company also sponsors a postretirement deferred compensation plan. On January 12, 2015, the Compensation Committee and all of the Board of Directors of AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. adopted resolutions to terminate the AMC Postretirement Medical Plan with an effective date of March 31, 2015. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Company notified eligible associates that their retiree medical coverage under the plan would terminate after March 31, 2015. Payments to eligible associates were approximately $4,300,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2015. The Company recorded net periodic benefit credits including curtailment gains, settlement gains, amortization of unrecognized prior service credits and amortization of actuarial gains recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income related to the termination and settlement of the plan during the three months ended March 31, 2015. Net periodic benefit cost (credit) recognized for the plans during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and the three months ended March 31, 2015 consists of the following:

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | |
COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES | NOTE 10—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES The Company, in the normal course of business, is a party to various ordinary course claims from vendors (including food and beverage suppliers and film distributors), landlords, competitors, and other legal proceedings. If management believes that a loss arising from these actions is probable and can reasonably be estimated, the Company records the amount of the loss, or the minimum estimated liability when the loss is estimated using a range and no point is more probable than another. As additional information becomes available, any potential liability related to these actions is assessed and the estimates are revised, if necessary. Management believes that the ultimate outcome of such matters, individually and in the aggregate, will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial position or overall trends in results of operations. However, litigation and claims are subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable outcomes can occur. An unfavorable outcome might include monetary damages. If an unfavorable outcome were to occur, there exists the possibility of a material adverse impact on the results of operations in the period in which the outcome occurs or in future periods. On May 28, 2015, the Company received a Civil Investigative Demand ("CID") from the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice in connection with an investigation under Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Antitrust Act. Beginning in May of 2015, the Company also received CIDs from the Attorneys General for the States of Ohio, Texas, Washington, Florida, New York, Kansas, and from the District of Columbia, regarding similar inquiries under those states' antitrust laws. The CIDs request the production of documents and answers to interrogatories concerning potentially anticompetitive conduct, including film clearances and participation in certain joint ventures. The Company may receive additional CIDs from antitrust authorities in other jurisdictions in which it operates. The Company does not believe it has violated federal or state antitrust laws and is cooperating with the relevant governmental authorities. However, the Company cannot predict the ultimate scope, duration or outcome of these investigations. On March 3, 2016, the Company and Carmike Cinemas, Inc. ("Carmike") entered into a definitive merger agreement pursuant to which the Company will acquire all of the outstanding shares of Carmike for $30.00 per share in cash or approximately $757,000,000. The Company has entered into a debt financing commitment letter in connection with the merger agreement which provides senior secured incremental term loans in an aggregate amount of up to $325,000,000 and a senior subordinated bridge loan in an aggregate amount of up to $300,000,000 to fund the acquisition. There can be no assurance that the Company will be successful in completing the debt financing on favorable terms as it involves matters outside of the Company's control. The merger is subject to customary closing conditions, including regulatory approval and approval by Carmike's shareholders.

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | |
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS | NOTE 11—NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2016-09, Improvements to Employer Share-Based Payment Accounting which is intended to simplify various aspects related to how share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. This standard requires entities to record all of the tax effects related to share-based payments at settlement or expiration through the income statement, removes the requirement to delay recognition of a windfall tax benefit until it reduces current taxes payable, requires all tax-related cash flows resulting from share-based payments to be reported as operating activities on the statement of cash flows, permits entities to withhold an amount up to the employee's maximum individual tax rate in the relevant jurisdiction without resulting in liability classification of the award and permits entities to make an accounting policy election for the impact of forfeitures on the recognition of expense for share-based payment awards. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within that reporting period. Early adoption will be permitted in any interim or annual period, with any adjustments reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year of adoption. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-09 will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases, which is intended to improve financial reporting about leasing transactions. This standard requires a lessee to record on the balance sheet the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by lease terms of more than 12 months. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows. In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), ("ASU 2014-09"), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. generally accepted accounting principles when it becomes effective. On July 9, 2015, the FASB decided to delay the effective date of ASU 2014-09 by one year. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2018. Companies may elect to adopt this application as of the original effective date for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2016. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and has not yet selected a transition method.

EARNINGS PER SHARE | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
EARNINGS PER SHARE | NOTE 12—EARNINGS PER SHARE Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share includes the effects of unvested RSU's with a service condition only and unvested contingently issuable RSUs and PSUs that have service and performance conditions, if dilutive. The following table sets forth the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share:
Vested RSUs and PSU's have dividend rights identical to the Company's Class A and Class B common stock and are treated as outstanding shares for purposes of computing basic and diluted earnings per share. Certain unvested RSUs and unvested PSUs are subject to performance conditions and are included in diluted earnings per share, if dilutive, using the treasury stock method based on the number of shares, if any, that would be issuable under the terms of the Company's 2013 Equity Incentive Plan ("Plan") if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, unvested RSUs of 135,981 and unvested PSUs of 100,912 at the minimum performance target, were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share since the shares would not be issuable under the terms of the Plan, if the end of the reporting period were the end of the contingency period.

BASIS OF PRESENTATION | |
Use of Estimates | Use of Estimates: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates and assumptions are used for, but not limited to: (1) Impairments, (2) Film exhibition costs, (3) Income and operating taxes, (4) Theatre and other closure expense, and (5) Gift card and exchange ticket income. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation: The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Holdings and all subsidiaries, as discussed above, and should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2015, which was derived from audited financial statements, and the unaudited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for interim financial information and in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair statement of the Company's financial position and results of operations. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. There are no noncontrolling (minority) interests in the Company's consolidated subsidiaries; consequently, all of its stockholders' equity, net earnings and total comprehensive income for the periods presented are attributable to controlling interests. Due to the seasonal nature of the Company's business, results for the three months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the twelve months ending December 31, 2016. The Company manages its business under one reportable segment called Theatrical Exhibition.

Change in Accounting Principle | Change in Accounting Principle: The Company adopted the provisions of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2015-03 and 2015-15, Interest-Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30) as of the beginning of 2016 on a retrospective basis. As a result of the adoption of ASU No. 2015-03 and ASU No. 2015-15, the Company reclassified $21,768,000 of debt issuance costs for its term loan and senior subordinated notes from other long-term assets to corporate borrowings in the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2015. The Company continues to defer and present its debt issuance costs related to its line-of-credit arrangement as an asset regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement as provided in ASU No. 2015-15.
