First Lien Notes due 2029

On February 14, 2022, the Company issued $950.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 7.5% First Lien Senior Secured Notes due 2029 (“First Lien Notes due 2029”), pursuant to an indenture, dated as of February 14, 2022, among the Company, the guarantors named therein and U.S. Bank Trust Company, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent. The Company used the net proceeds from the sale of the notes, and cash on hand, to fund the full redemption of the then outstanding $500 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 10.5% First Lien Notes due 2025 (“First Lien Notes due 2025”), the then outstanding $300 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 10.5% First Lien Notes due 2026 (“First Lien Notes due 2026”), and the then outstanding $73.5 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s 15%/17% Cash/PIK Toggle First Lien Secured Notes due 2026 (“First Lien Toggle Notes due 2026”) and to pay related accrued interest, fees, costs, premiums and expenses. The Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment related to this transaction of $0 million and $135.0 million, respectively, in other expense, during the three and six months ended June 30, 2022. The deferred charges will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the First Lien Notes due 2029 using the effective interest method.

The First Lien Notes due 2029 bear cash interest at a rate of 7.5% per annum payable semi-annually in arrears on February 15 and August 15, beginning on August 15, 2022. The First Lien Notes due 2029 have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and will mature on February 15, 2029. The Company may redeem some or all of the First Lien Notes due 2029 at any time on or after February 15, 2025, at the redemption prices equal to (i) 103.750% for the twelve-month period beginning on February 15, 2025; (ii) 101.875% for the twelve-month period beginning on February 15, 2026, and (iii) 100.0% at any time thereafter, plus accrued and unpaid interest. In addition, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the First Lien Notes due 2029 using net proceeds from certain equity offerings completed prior to February 15, 2025 at a redemption price equal to 107.5% of their aggregate principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including the date of redemption. The Company may redeem some or all of the First Lien Notes due 2029 at any time prior to February 15, 2025 at a redemption price equal to 100% of their aggregate principal amount and accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the date of redemption, plus an applicable make-whole premium. Upon a Change of Control (as defined in the

indenture governing the First Lien Notes due 2029), the Company must offer to purchase the First Lien Notes due 2029 at a purchase price equal to 101% of the principal amounts, plus accrued and unpaid interest.

The First Lien Notes due 2029 are general senior secured obligations of the Company and are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior secured basis by all of the Company’s existing and future subsidiaries that guarantee the Company’s other indebtedness, including the Company’s Senior Secured Credit Facilities under the credit agreement dated as of April 30, 2013 (as amended through the Eleventh Amendment thereto dated December 20, 2021). The First Lien Notes due 2029 are secured, on a pari passu basis with the Senior Secured Credit Facilities, on a first-priority basis by substantially all of the tangible and intangible assets owned by the Company and guarantors that secure obligations under the Senior Secured Credit Facilities including pledges of capital stock of certain of the Company’s and the guarantor’s wholly-owned material subsidiaries (but limited to 65% of the voting stock of any foreign subsidiary), subject to certain thresholds, exceptions and permitted liens.

The indentures governing the First Lien Notes due 2029 contain covenants that restrict the ability of the Company to, among other things: (i) incur additional indebtedness, including additional senior indebtedness; (ii) pay dividends on or make other distributions in respect of its capital stock; (iii) purchase or redeem capital stock or prepay subordinated debt or other junior securities (iv) create liens ranking pari passu in right of payment with or subordinated in right of payment to First Lien Notes due 2029; (v) enter into certain transactions with its affiliates; and (vi) merge or consolidate with other companies or transfer all or substantially all of their respective assets. These covenants are subject to a number of important limitations and exceptions. The indentures governing the First Lien Notes due 2029 also provides for events of default, which, if any occur, would permit or require the principal, interest and any other monetary obligations on all the then outstanding notes to be due and payable immediately.

Second Lien Notes due 2026

During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the Company repurchased $72.5 million aggregate principal amounts of the Second Lien Notes due 2026 for $50.0 million and recorded a gain on extinguishment of $38.6 million in other expense (income). Accrued interest of $3.1 million was paid in connection with the repurchases.

Odeon Term Loan due 2023

The 11.25% Odeon Term Loan due 2023 matures on August 19, 2023 during the third fiscal quarter of the Company’s next calendar year.  The Company is currently negotiating terms of new debt intended to refinance the existing £147.6 million and €312.2 million aggregate principal amounts of Odeon Term Loan due 2023. While the Company intends to fully refinance the 11.25% Odeon Term Loan due 2023 and extend current maturity dates, there are no assurances that the Company will be able to do so. If the Company is unable to refinance these amounts, the principal amounts will be reported as current maturities which may increase uncertainty regarding its ability to meet future commitments.

Financial Covenants

The Company currently estimates that its existing cash and cash equivalents will be sufficient to comply with minimum liquidity and financial covenant requirements under its debt covenants related to borrowings pursuant to the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility and Odeon Term Loan Facility, currently and through the next twelve months. The Company entered the Ninth Amendment to the Credit Agreement, dated as of March 8, 2021, pursuant to which the requisite revolving lenders party thereto agreed to extend the suspension period for the financial covenant (the secured leverage ratio) applicable to the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility from March 31, 2021 to March 31, 2022, which was further extended from March 31, 2022 to March 31, 2023 by the Eleventh Amendment, dated as of December 20, 2021, as described, and on the terms and conditions specified, therein. The Company is currently subject to minimum liquidity requirements of approximately $139.5 million, of which $100 million is required under the conditions for the Extended Covenant Suspension Period, as amended, under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility, and £32.5 million (approximately $39.5 million) of which is required under the Odeon Term Loan Facility. Following the expiration of the Extended Covenant Suspension Period ending March 31, 2023, the Company will be subject to the financial covenant under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility as of the last day of each quarter on which the aggregate principal amount of revolving loans and letters of credit (excluding letters of credit that are cash collateralized) in excess of $25 million outstanding under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility exceeds 35% of the principal amount of commitments under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility then in effect, beginning with the quarter

ending June 30, 2023. The Company currently expects it will be able to comply with this financial covenant; however, the Company does not anticipate the need to borrow under the Senior Secured Revolving Credit Facility during the next twelve months.
