See footnote (*) Provide the following information regarding the aggregate number and percentage of the class of securities of the issuer identified in Item 1. (a) Amount beneficially owned: The Reporting Persons beneficially own 5,159,242 shares of the issuers Common Stock which are comprised of (i) 12,700 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) the Issuer's 3.75% debentures due May 15, 2008 which are convertible into 5,146,542 shares of Common Stock (b) Percent of class: 8.2% --------- (c) Number of shares as to which such person has: (i) Sole power to vote or direct the vote 0 (ii) Shared power to vote or to direct the vote See Item 4(a). (iii) Sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of 0 (iv) Shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of See Item 4(a). * The indenture dated as of May 28, 2003 between Regal Entertainment Group (the "Company") and U.S. Bank National Association, as Trustee (the "Indenture"), for the 3 3/4% Convertible Senior Notes due May 15, 2008 (the "Notes") of Regal Entertainment Group (the "Company") provides for the Notes to be converted into Class A common stock of the Company at a conversion price determined pursuant to its terms. Section 10.4(e) of the Indenture sets forth the calculation to be used for adjusting the conversion price in the event of a distribution in excess of the Maximum Allowed Amount, as defined in the Indenture (any such distribution, an "Excess Dividend"). In relevant part, Section 10.4(e) provides as follows: the Conversion Price shall be reduced so that the same shall equal the price determined by multiplying such Conversion Price in effect immediately prior so such date of determination by a fraction of which (x) the numerator shall be the average of the Volume Weighted Average ------------------------------------------------------------------ Prices for the three Trading Days ending on the date immediately ---------------------------------------------------------------------- preceding the Ex-Dividend Date for such dividend or distribution less ---------------------------------------------------------------- the difference between (a) the sum of such dividends or distributions during such 12 months preceding the date of payment applicable to one share of Class A Common Stock (determined on the basis of the number of shares of Class A Common Stock outstanding on the determination date) and (b) the Maximum Allowed Amount and (y) the average of the ------------------ Volume Weighted Average Prices for the three Trading Days ending on ---------------------------------------------------------------------- the date immediately preceding the dividend date for such dividend or ---------------------------------------------------------------------- distribution. (emphasis added). ------------ As detailed in the governing contractual language set forth above, the Volume Weighted Average Price to be used in the numerator of the equation is for the three Trading Days immediately preceding the Ex-Dividend Date ("VWAP ----------------- Ex-Dividend"). In contrast, the Volume Weighted Average Price to be used in the denominator of the equation is for the three Trading Days immediately preceding the dividend date ("VWAP Dividend"). ------------- Based on the adjusted conversion price reported in the Company's Current Reports on Form 8-K and, in particular, those Current Reports filed with the Commission on June 22, 2004, September 16, 2004, December 16, 2004 and March 15, 2005, the Reporting Person believes that the conversion price adjustments made by the Company in connection with the Excess Dividends paid on June 15, 2004, September 15, 2004, December 15, 2004 and March 15, 2005 have incorrectly used the VWAP Ex-Dividend in the denominator of the equation in place of the contractually specified VWAP Dividend. If the conversion price adjustments made by the Company in connection with the Excess Dividends had been made according to the governing contractual language in the Indenture, then the conversion rate determined by application of the formula in Section 10.4(e) would be 69.40979 (based on Bloomberg VWAP data) and the Conversion Price would be $14.40719. If the adjustment had been made in such manner, the Reporting Persons' responses to this Item 4 of this Schedule 13G, would be as follows: (a) Amount beneficially owned: The Reporting Persons beneficially own 5,596,302 shares of the Issuer's Common Stock which are comprised of (i) 12,700 shares of Common Stock, and (ii) the Issuer's 3 3/4% Convertible Senior Notes due May 15, 2008 which are convertible into an aggregate of 5,583,602 shares of Common Stock. (b) Percent of class: 8.9% ----------- (c) Number of shares as to which such person has: (i) Sole power to vote or direct the vote 0 (ii) Shared power to vote or to direct the vote See Item 4(a). (iii) Sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition of 0 (iv) Shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition of See Item 4(a). Item 5. Ownership of Five Percent or Less of a Class. If this statement is being filed to report the fact that as of the date hereof the Reporting Persons have ceased to be the beneficial owner of more than five percent of the class of securities, check the following [ ]. Not applicable. Item 6. Ownership of More than Five Percent on Behalf of Another Person. Shareholders of Amaranth indirectly participate in the receipt of dividends from, and proceeds from the sale of, the Common Stock held for the account of Amaranth. Item 7. Identification and Classification of the Subsidiary Which Acquired the Security Being Reported on by the Parent Holding Company. Not applicable. Item 8. Identification and Classification of Members of the Group. See Item 2 in lieu of an Exhibit. Item 9. Notice of Dissolution of Group. Not applicable. Item 10. Certification.
