Item 4. Purpose of Transaction

The securities covered by this statement were acquired because the Reporting Persons believe that shares are undervalued. The Reporting Persons believe that such value can be unlocked by exercising their voting rights with respect to the pending transaction with AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (AMC). Following publicly expressed shareholder concern regarding prospective “sandbagging” of company results and/or future guidance, Reporting Persons plan to exercise their statutory right to appraisal. This Schedule 13D is being amended on August 4, 2016 to attach our statement regarding the revised offer made on July 25, 2016 by AMC for Carmike.

  (d) As investors in the Company, the Reporting Persons may have discussions with members of Company management, the Company’s board of directors and other shareholders of the Company which may relate to or result in any change in the present board of directors or management of the Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board.

 

  (e) As investors in the Company, the Reporting Persons may have discussions with members of Company management, the Company’s board of directors and other shareholders of the Company which may relate to or result in any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company.

 

  (f) As investors in the Company, the Reporting Persons may have discussions with members of Company management, the Company’s board of directors and other shareholders of the Company which may relate to or result in any other material change in the Company’s business or corporate structure including but not limited to, if the Company is a registered closed-end investment company, any plans or proposals to make any changes in its investment policy for which a vote is required by section 13 of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

 

  (g) As investors in the Company, the Reporting Persons may have discussions with members of Company management, the Company’s board of directors and other shareholders of the Company which may relate to or result in changes in the Company’s certificate of incorporation, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any person.

 

  (h) As investors in the Company, the Reporting Persons may have discussions with members of Company management, the Company’s board of directors and other shareholders of the Company which may relate to or result in causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association.

  (b) The number of shares to which each Reporting Person has sole power to vote or direct the vote, shared power to vote or direct the vote, sole power to dispose or to direct the disposition and shared power to dispose or to direct the disposition is stated in Items 7-10 on the cover pages hereto.


  (c) The transactions in the class of securities reported on that were effected during the past sixty days by the Reporting Persons are described below.
