8.625% Senior Notes due 2019
which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
 
The exchange offer will expire at midnight, New York City time, on          , 2009, unless we extend the exchange offer. We do not currently intend to extend the exchange offer.
 
  •  We are offering to exchange up to $470,000,000 aggregate principal amount of new 8.625% Senior Notes due 2019, or Exchange Notes, which have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, for an equal principal amount of our outstanding 8.625% Senior Notes due 2019, or Initial Notes, issued in a private offering on June 29, 2009. We refer to the Exchange Notes and the Initial Notes collectively as Notes.
 
  •  We will exchange all Initial Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to the closing of the exchange offer for an equal principal amount of Exchange Notes that have been registered.
 
  •  You may withdraw tenders of Initial Notes at any time prior to the expiration of the exchange offer.
 
  •  The terms of the Exchange Notes to be issued are identical in all material respects to the Initial Notes, except for transfer restrictions and registration rights that do not apply to the Exchange Notes, and different administrative terms.

We have agreed that, for a period of 12 months after the consummation of the exchange offer, we will make this prospectus available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale. See “Plan of Distribution.”

You should read this summary together with the entire prospectus, including the more detailed information in our consolidated financial statements and related notes and schedules appearing elsewhere in this prospectus.

Our Company
 
Cinemark is the second largest motion picture exhibitor in the world, in terms of both attendance and number of screens operated. We operated 426 theatres and 4,908 screens in the U.S. and Latin America as of September 30, 2009, and approximately 211.3 million patrons attended our theatres worldwide during the year ended December 31, 2008, the second highest total among the three largest U.S. motion picture exhibitors. Our circuit is the third largest in the U.S. with 296 theatres and 3,842 screens in 39 states and one Canadian province. We are the most geographically diverse circuit in Latin America with 130 theatres and 1,066 screens in 13 countries. Our modern theatre circuit features stadium seating for approximately 84% of our first-run auditoriums.
 
We selectively build or acquire new theatres in markets where we can establish and maintain a strong market position. We believe our portfolio of modern theatres provides a preferred destination for moviegoers and contributes to our significant cash flows from operating activities. Our significant presence in the U.S. and Latin America has made us an important distribution channel for movie studios, particularly as they look to increase revenues generated in Latin America. Our market leadership is attributable in large part to our senior executives, who average approximately 34 years of industry experience and have successfully navigated us through multiple business cycles.
 
We grew our total revenue per patron at a compound annual growth rate, or CAGR, during the last three fiscal years of 10.2%, the highest among the three largest U.S. motion picture exhibitors. Revenues, operating income and net income (loss) attributable to Cinemark USA, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2008 were $1,742.3 million, $61.4 million and $(23.8) million, respectively, and were $1,440.1 million, $178.0 million and $89.3 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. At September 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $358.8 million and long-term debt of $1,546.6 million. Approximately $787.7 million, or 51%, of our total long-term debt accrues interest at variable rates.
 
Competitive Strengths
 
We believe the following strengths allow us to compete effectively:
 
Disciplined Operating Philosophy.  We generated operating income and net loss attributable to Cinemark USA, Inc. of $61.4 million and $(23.8) million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2008. Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2008 was primarily due to $113.5 million of non-cash impairment charges. We generated operating income and net income attributable to Cinemark USA, Inc. of $178.0 million and $89.3 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Our solid operating performance is a result of our disciplined operating philosophy that centers on building high quality assets, while negotiating favorable theatre level economics and controlling theatre operating costs. As a result, we grew our admissions and concession revenues per patron at the highest CAGR during the last three fiscal years of the three largest U.S. motion picture exhibitors.
 
Leading Position in Our U.S. Markets.  We have a leading market share in the U.S. metropolitan and suburban markets we serve. For the year ended December 31, 2008, we ranked either first or second

based on box office revenues in 21 out of our top 25 U.S. markets, including the San Francisco Bay Area, Dallas, Houston and Salt Lake City.
 
Strategically Located in Heavily Populated Latin American Markets.  Since 1993, we have invested throughout Latin America in response to the continued growth of the region. We currently operate 130 theatres and 1,066 screens in 13 countries. Our international screens generated revenues of $385.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. We have successfully established a significant presence in major cities in the region, with theatres in 13 of the 15 largest metropolitan areas. With a geographically diverse circuit, we are an important distribution channel to the movie studios. The projected annual population growth for the Latin American countries in which we operate ranges from 1% to 2% for each of the next three years. We are well-positioned with our modern, large-format theatres to take advantage of these factors for further growth and diversification of our revenues.
 
State-of-the-Art Theatre Circuit.  We offer state-of-the-art theatres, which we believe makes our theatres a preferred destination for moviegoers in our markets. We feature stadium seating in approximately 84% of our first-run auditoriums. During 2008, we continued our expansion by adding 203 new screens. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we added 164 screens. We currently have commitments to build 142 additional screens over the next three years.
 
Solid Balance Sheet and Significant Cash Flow from Operating Activities.  We generate significant cash flow from operating activities as a result of several factors, including predictable revenues, a geographically diverse and modern theatre circuit, and management’s ability to control costs. Additionally, our ownership of land and buildings for 43 of our theatres is a strategic advantage that enhances our cash flows. We believe our expected level of cash flow generation will provide us with the strategic and financial flexibility to pursue growth opportunities, support our debt payments and make dividend payments to our parent company stockholders. As of September 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $358.8 million.
 
Experienced Management.  Led by Chairman and founder Lee Roy Mitchell, Chief Executive Officer Alan Stock, President and Chief Operating Officer Timothy Warner and Chief Financial Officer Robert Copple, our management team has an average of approximately 34 years of theatre operating experience executing a focused strategy which has led to consistent operating results. This management team has successfully navigated us through many industry and economic cycles.
 
Our Strategy
 
We believe our disciplined operating philosophy and experienced management team will enable us to continue to enhance our leading position in the motion picture exhibition industry. Key components of our strategy include:
 
Establish and Maintain Leading Market Positions.  We will continue to seek growth opportunities by building or acquiring modern theatres that meet our strategic, financial and demographic criteria. We will continue to focus on establishing and maintaining a leading position in the markets we serve.
 
Continue to Focus on Operational Excellence.  We will continue to focus on achieving operational excellence by controlling theatre operating costs while continuing to provide leading customer service. Our margins reflect our track record of operating efficiency.
 
Selectively Build in Profitable, Strategic Latin American Markets.  Our international expansion will continue to focus primarily on Latin America through construction of modern, state-of-the-art theatres in growing urban markets.

Our Industry
 
Domestic Markets
 
The U.S. motion picture exhibition industry has a track record of long-term growth, with box office revenues growing at an estimated CAGR of 5.2% from 1992 to 2008. Against this background of steady long-term growth, the exhibition industry has experienced periodic short-term increases and decreases in attendance, and consequently box office revenues. According to industry sources, in 2008, the motion picture exhibition industry experienced its best performance in history, with total box office revenues exceeding the record breaking 2007 box office revenues. One of the films released during 2008, The Dark Knight, which grossed over $500 million in domestic box office revenues, broke several box office revenue records, including the single day box office revenue record on its opening day and the single film three-day weekend record during its opening weekend. Films released during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 included Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Disney Pixar’s Up, Star Trek, The Hangover, Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian, Monsters vs. Aliens, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Taken, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, The Proposal, and Fast & Furious. Film releases scheduled for the remainder of 2009 include Twilight 2: New Moon, Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakuel, Paranormal Activity, Where the Wild Things Are, 2012, Old Dogs, Sherlock Holmes, The Lovely Bones, The Princess and the Frog, and 3-D movies such as Avatar and A Christmas Carol.
 
The following table represents the results of a survey by MPAA published during March 2009, outlining the historical trends in U.S. box office revenues for the ten year period from 1998 to 2008:

  $ 9,629       1,400     $ 6.88  
2008
  $ 9,791       1,364     $ 7.18  
 
International Markets
 
International growth also continues to be consistent. According to MPAA, international box office revenues were $18.3 billion for the year ended December 31, 2008, resulting in a CAGR of 10.9% from 2003 to 2008, which is a result of increasing worldwide acceptance of moviegoing as a popular form of entertainment, ticket price increases and new theatre construction.
 
Growth in Latin America is expected to continue to be fueled by a combination of continued development of modern theatres, growing populations, attractive demographics (i.e., a significant teenage population), quality product from Hollywood and the emergence of a local film industry. In many Latin American countries the local film industry had been dormant because of the lack of sufficient theatres to exhibit the film product. The development of new modern multiplex theatres has revitalized the local film industry and, in Brazil, Mexico and Argentina, successful local film product often provides incremental growth opportunities.

We believe many international markets for theatrical exhibition have historically been underserved and that certain of these markets, especially those in Latin America, will continue to experience growth as additional modern stadium-styled theatres are introduced.
 
Drivers of Continued Industry Success
 
We believe the following market trends will drive the continued growth and strength of our industry:
 
Importance of Theatrical Success in Establishing Movie Brands and Subsequent Markets.  Theatrical exhibition is the primary distribution channel for new motion picture releases. A successful theatrical release which “brands” a film is one of the major factors in determining its success in “downstream” markets, such as DVDs, network and syndicated television, video on-demand, pay-per-view television and the Internet.
 
Increased Importance of International Markets for Box Office Success.  International markets continue to be an increasingly important component of the overall box office revenues generated by Hollywood films, accounting for $18.3 billion, or 65% of 2008 total worldwide box office revenues according to MPAA. With continued growth of the international motion picture exhibition industry, we believe the relative contribution of markets outside North America will become even more significant.
 
Stable Long-Term Attendance Trends.  We believe that long-term trends in motion picture attendance in the U.S. will continue to benefit the industry. According to Nielsen Entertainment/NRG, 77% of moviegoers stated their overall theatre experience in 2007 was time and money well spent.
 
Convenient and Affordable Form of Out-Of-Home Entertainment.  Moviegoing continues to be one of the most convenient and affordable forms of out-of-home entertainment, with an estimated average ticket price in the U.S. of $7.18 in 2008. Average prices in 2008 for other forms of out-of-home entertainment in the U.S., including sporting events and theme parks, range from approximately $23.50 to $71.00 per ticket according to MPAA. Movie ticket prices have risen at approximately the rate of inflation, while ticket prices for other forms of out-of-home entertainment have increased at higher rates.
 
Innovation with Digital Technology.  The industry has begun to convert to the use of digital projection technology, which will allow exhibitors to expand their product offerings. Digital technology will allow the presentation of 3-D content and alternative entertainment venues such as live sports programs, the opera and concert events. These additional programming alternatives may enhance the level of patronage for exhibitors.

On July 14, 2009, our direct parent, Cinemark, Inc., a Delaware corporation, or Cinemark, Inc., announced the expiration of the cash tender offer, or the Cash Tender Offer, for any and all of its outstanding 93/4% senior discount notes due 2014 ($419.4 million aggregate principal amount at maturity), or Existing Discount Notes, and a consent solicitation, or the Consent Solicitation, with respect to certain proposed amendments to the indenture, or the Indenture, governing the Existing Discount Notes, to eliminate all of the principal restrictive covenants, certain events of default and certain other provisions contained therein. Pursuant to the Cash Tender Offer, Cinemark, Inc. repurchased $402.5 million aggregate principal amount at maturity of the outstanding Existing Discount Notes and in connection with the Consent Solicitation, Cinemark, Inc. received requisite consents to enter into a supplemental indenture, or the Supplemental Indenture, to the

Indenture. The Supplemental Indenture is effective as of June 29, 2009 and eliminates substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain event of default provisions contained in the Indenture. The repurchase was funded by a dividend paid by the Company to Cinemark, Inc. on June 29, 2009 of approximately $433.4 million.
 
On August 3, 2009, Cinemark, Inc. delivered to the Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee, a notice to redeem the approximately $16.9 million aggregate principal amount at maturity of the Existing Discount Notes remaining outstanding. The outstanding Existing Discount Notes were redeemed on September 8, 2009. On the redemption date, Cinemark, Inc. paid an aggregate redemption price of approximately $18.6 million, which is 104.875% of the face amount of the Existing Discount Notes remaining outstanding plus any accrued and unpaid interest up to, but not including, the redemption date. The redemption price was funded by a dividend paid by the Company to Cinemark, Inc. on September 8, 2009 of approximately $18.6 million.

Corporate Structure
 
The following chart illustrates our corporate structure and principal indebtedness as of September 30, 2009.
 
(FLOW CHART)
 
 
(1) Cinemark Holdings, our indirect parent and holding company, is a public company listed on the NYSE. Cinemark Holdings’s Web site is located at www.cinemark.com. The information on the Web site is not part of this prospectus.
 
(2) As of September 30, 2009, Cinemark, Inc. had no outstanding Existing Discount Notes. See “Recent Development — Related Transactions.”
 
(3) The senior secured credit facility includes a $150.0 million revolving credit facility and a $1,120.0 million term loan facility. As of September 30, 2009, there was $1,086.4 million outstanding under our term loan facility and $121.5 million available to us under our $150.0 million revolving credit facility, subject to compliance with the terms thereof. The availability of our revolving credit facility may have recently been impacted by the insolvency of one of the lenders under the senior secured credit facility. As such, it is uncertain whether we could borrow the portion that would be funded by this insolvent lender, which is approximately $28.5 million.
 
(4) As of September 30, 2009, we had outstanding $0.2 million of 9% senior subordinated notes due 2013. These notes were the subject of a tender offer and consent solicitation whereby the requisite consents were obtained to eliminate all the principal restrictive covenants of the indenture governing these notes, certain events of default and other provisions contained therein.
 
(5) The subsidiaries that guarantee the senior secured credit facility also guarantee the Notes.
 
(6) As of September 30, 2009, certain of our foreign subsidiaries had outstanding $1.3 million of indebtedness. Our foreign subsidiaries do not guarantee the Notes.

Summary of the Terms of the Exchange Offer
 
The Exchange Offer We are offering to exchange up to $470,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 8.625% Senior Notes due 2019, which have been registered under the Securities Act, for up to $470,000,000 aggregate principal amount of our 8.625% Senior Notes due 2019 issued on June 29, 2009. You may exchange your Initial Notes only by following the procedures described elsewhere in this prospectus under “The Exchange Offer — Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes.”
 
Exchange and Registration Rights Agreement We issued the Initial Notes on June 29, 2009. In connection with the issuance of the Initial Notes, we entered into an exchange and registration rights agreement with the initial purchasers, which provide, among other things, for this exchange offer.
 
Resale of Exchange Notes Based upon interpretive letters written by the SEC, we believe that the Exchange Notes issued in the exchange offer may be offered for resale, resold or otherwise transferred by you without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that:
 
• You are acquiring the Exchange Notes in the ordinary course of your business;
 
• You are not participating, do not intend to participate and have no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate, in the distribution of the Exchange Notes; and
 
• You are not our “affiliate”, as that term is defined for the purposes of Rule 144A under the Securities Act.
 
If any of the foregoing are not true and you transfer any Exchange Note without registering the Exchange Note and delivering a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act, or without an exemption from registration of your Exchange Notes from such requirements, you may incur liability under the Securities Act. We do not assume or indemnify you against such liability.
 
Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account in exchange for Initial Notes that were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making or other trading activities must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus meeting the requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale of the Exchange Notes. A broker-dealer may use this prospectus for an offer to resell, a resale or any other retransfer of the Exchange Notes. See “Plan of Distribution.”
 
Consequences of Failure to Exchange Initial Notes Initial Notes that are not tendered or that are tendered but not accepted, will, following the completion of the exchange offer, continue to be subject to existing restrictions upon transfer. The trading market for Initial Notes not exchanged in the exchange offer may be significantly more limited than at present. Therefore, if your Initial Notes are not tendered and accepted in the exchange offer, it may become more difficult for you to sell or transfer your Initial Notes. Furthermore, you will no longer be able to compel us to register the Initial Notes under the Securities Act and we will not


7


Table of Contents

be required to pay additional interest as described in the registration rights agreement. In addition, you will not be able to offer or sell the Initial Notes unless they are registered under the Securities Act (and we will have no obligation to register them, except for some limited exceptions), or unless you offer or sell them under an exemption from the requirements of, or a transaction not subject to, the Securities Act.
 
Expiration of the Exchange Offer The exchange offer will expire at midnight, New York City time on          , 2009, unless we decide to extend the expiration date.
 
Conditions to the Exchange Offer The exchange offer is not subject to any condition other than certain customary conditions, which we may, but are not required to, waive. We currently anticipate that each of the conditions will be satisfied and that we will not need to waive any conditions. We reserve the right to terminate or amend the exchange offer at any time before the expiration date if any such condition occurs. In the event of a material change in the exchange offer, including the waiver of a material condition, we will extend, if necessary, the expiration date of the exchange offer such that at least five business days remain in the exchange offer following notice of the material change. For additional information regarding the conditions to the exchange offer, see “The Exchange Offer — Conditions to the Exchange Offer.”
 
Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes If you wish to accept the exchange offer, you must complete, sign and date the letter of transmittal, or a facsimile of the letter of transmittal, and transmit it together with all other documents required by the letter of transmittal (including the Initial Notes to be exchanged) to Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as exchange agent, at the address set forth on the cover page of the letter of transmittal. In the alternative, you can tender your Initial Notes by following the procedures for book-entry transfer, as described in this prospectus. For more information on accepting the exchange offer and tendering your Initial Notes, see “The Exchange Offer — Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes” and “— Book-Entry Transfer.”
 
Guaranteed Delivery Procedures If you wish to tender your Initial Notes and you cannot get your required documents to the exchange agent by the expiration date, you may tender your Initial Notes according to the guaranteed delivery procedure under the heading “The Exchange Offer — Guaranteed Delivery.”
 
Special Procedure for Beneficial Holders If you are a beneficial holder whose Initial Notes are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee and you wish to tender your Initial Notes in the exchange offer, you should contact the registered holder promptly and instruct the registered holder to tender your Initial Notes on your behalf. If you are a beneficial holder and you wish to tender your Initial Notes on your own behalf, you must, prior to delivering the letter of transmittal and your Initial Notes to the exchange agent, either make appropriate arrangements to register ownership of your Initial Notes in your own name or obtain a properly completed bond power from the registered holder. The transfer of registered ownership may take considerable time.

Withdrawal Rights You may withdraw the tender of your Initial Notes at any time prior to midnight, New York City time, on the expiration date. To withdraw, you must send a written or facsimile transmission of your notice of withdrawal to the exchange agent at its address set forth in this prospectus under “The Exchange Offer — Withdrawal of Tenders” by midnight, New York City time, on the expiration date.
 
Acceptance of Initial Notes and Delivery of Exchange Notes Subject to certain conditions, we will accept all Initial Notes that are validly tendered and not validly withdrawn prior to midnight, New York City time, on the expiration date. We will deliver the Exchange Notes promptly after the expiration date. Initial Notes will be validly tendered and not validly withdrawn if they are tendered in accordance with the terms of the exchange offer as detailed under “The Exchange Offer — Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes” and not withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the exchange offer as detailed under “The Exchange Offer — Withdrawal of Tenders.”
 
United States Federal Income Tax Consequences We believe that the exchange of Initial Notes for Exchange Notes generally will not be a taxable exchange for federal income tax purposes, but you should consult your tax adviser about the tax consequences of this exchange. See “Certain Federal Income Tax Consequences.”
 
Exchange Agent Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., the trustee under the indenture for the Notes, is serving as exchange agent in connection with the exchange offer. The mailing address of the exchange agent is Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., 1445 Ross Avenue, Dallas, TX 75202.
 
Fees and Expense We will bear all expenses related to consummating the exchange offer and complying with the exchange and registration rights agreement.
 
Use of Proceeds We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the Exchange Notes. We received gross proceeds of approximately $458,532,000 from the sale of the Initial Notes. We used the proceeds in part to fund the repurchase of the Existing Discount Notes, to pay fees and expenses related to the offering of the Initial Notes and to fund the redemption of the outstanding Existing Discount Notes. See “Prospectus Summary — Recent Developments — Related Transactions.”

Summary Description of Exchange Notes
 
The terms of the Exchange Notes are identical in all material respects to those of the Initial Notes except for transfer restrictions and registration rights that do not apply to the Exchange Notes. The Exchange Notes will evidence the same debt as the Initial Notes, and the same indenture will govern the Exchange Notes as the Initial Notes. The summary below describes the principal terms of the Exchange Notes. Certain of the terms and conditions described below are subject to important limitations and exceptions. The “Description of Exchange Notes” section of this prospectus contains a more detailed description of the terms and conditions of the Exchange Notes.
 
Issuer Cinemark USA, Inc.
 
Exchange Notes Offered $470,000,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.625% of Senior Notes due 2019, registered under the Securities Act.
 
Maturity Date June 15, 2019.
 
Interest Rate and Payment Dates The Exchange Notes will bear interest at the rate of 8.625% per annum, payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2009.
 
Guarantees The Exchange Notes will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior unsecured basis by our subsidiaries that guarantee, assume or become liable with respect to any of our or a guarantor’s debt. If we cannot make payments on the Exchange Notes when they are due, the guarantors must make them instead. Under certain circumstances, the guarantees may be released without action by, or the consent of, the holders of the Notes. See “Description of Exchange Notes — Subsidiary Guarantees.”
 
Ranking The Exchange Notes and the guarantees will be our and our guarantors’ senior unsecured obligations and they will:
 
• rank equally in right of payment with all of our and our guarantors’ existing and future senior unsecured indebtedness;
 
• rank senior in right of payment to all of our and our guarantors’ existing and future subordinated indebtedness;
 
• be effectively subordinated to all of our and our guarantors’ existing and future secured indebtedness, including all borrowings under our senior secured credit facility, to the extent of the value of the collateral securing such indebtedness; and
 
• be structurally subordinated to all existing and future indebtedness and other liabilities of any of our subsidiaries that is not a guarantor of the Notes.
 
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, the nonguarantor subsidiaries generated in the aggregate approximately $320.0 million, or 22.2%, of our consolidated revenues. As of September 30, 2009, our non-guarantor subsidiaries accounted for $667.2 million, or 21.0%, of our consolidated total assets and the indebtedness and other liabilities of our non-guarantor subsidiaries were approximately $178.2 million in the aggregate.
 
Optional Redemption Prior to June 15, 2014, we may redeem all or any part of the Exchange Notes at our option at 100% of the principal amount plus


10


Table of Contents

a make-whole premium. We may redeem the Exchange Notes in whole or in part at any time on or after June 15, 2014 at the redemption prices described in this prospectus. In addition, prior to June 15, 2012, we may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Exchange Notes from the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at the redemption price set forth in this prospectus. See “Description of Exchange Notes — Optional Redemption.”
 
Mandatory Offer to Repurchase If we or Cinemark Holdings, our indirect parent, experience specific kinds of changes in control, we must offer to repurchase all of the notes at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the repurchase date.
 
Certain asset dispositions will be triggering events which may require us to use the proceeds from those asset dispositions to make an offer to purchase the notes at 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of purchase if such proceeds are not otherwise used within 365 days as described in the section entitled “Description of Notes — Repurchase at the Option of Holders — Asset Sales.”
 
Covenants The indenture governing the Notes contains restrictive covenants which restrict our and our restricted subsidiaries’ ability to take certain actions. For a more detailed description, see “Description of Exchange Notes — Certain Covenants.”
 
Original Issue Discount Because the Initial Notes were issued with original issue discount, or OID, the Exchange Notes should be treated as having been issued with OID for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Thus, in addition to the stated interest on the Exchange Notes, U.S. Holders (as defined in the section entitled “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Considerations”) will be required to include amounts representing the OID in gross income on a constant yield basis for U.S. federal income tax purposes in advance of the receipt of cash payments to which such income is attributable. For more information, see “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences.”
 
For a discussion of certain risks that should be considered in connection with an investment in the Exchange Notes, see “Risk Factors” beginning on page 14.

Summary Historical Consolidated Financial Information
 
The following table provides our summary historical consolidated financial information. On August 2, 2006, Cinemark Holdings was formed as the Delaware holding company of Cinemark, Inc. On August 7, 2006, the Cinemark, Inc. stockholders entered into a share exchange agreement pursuant to which they agreed to exchange their shares of Class A common stock for an equal number of shares of Cinemark Holdings’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, or Holdings Common Stock, which we refer to as the Cinemark Share Exchange in this prospectus. The Cinemark Share Exchange was completed on October 5, 2006 and facilitated the acquisition of Century Theatres, Inc., or Century, which we refer to as the Century Acquisition in this prospectus. On October 5, 2006, Cinemark, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cinemark Holdings. Cinemark is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cinemark, Inc. Due to a change in reporting entity that occurred as a result of the Cinemark Share Exchange, Cinemark Holdings’s accounting basis was pushed down to us effective on October 5, 2006, the date of the Cinemark Share Exchange. The summary information as of and for periods through October 4, 2006 are of Cinemark, as Predecessor, and the summary information as of and for all subsequent periods are of Cinemark, as Successor. Our summary historical consolidated financial information as of and for the period January 1, 2006 to October 4, 2006; the period October 5, 2006 to December 31, 2006; and the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008 is derived from our audited consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this prospectus. Our summary historical consolidated financial information as of and for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009 is derived from our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements appearing elsewhere in this prospectus, which, in the opinion of management, reflects all adjustments of a recurring nature necessary for a fair presentation of this information. The historical financial information for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 is not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the full year.

RISK FACTORS
 
You should carefully consider the risks described below as well as other information and data included in this prospectus before participating in this exchange offer. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently believe are immaterial may also adversely impact our business operations. If any of the events described in the risk factors below occur, our business, financial condition, operating results and prospects could be materially adversely affected. As a result, the trading price of the Exchange Notes could decline, perhaps significantly, and our ability to pay principal and interest on the Exchange Notes could be adversely affected.
 
Risks Related to the Exchange Notes and this Exchange Offer
 
Your failure to participate in the exchange offer may have adverse consequences.
 
If you do not exchange your Initial Notes for Exchange Notes pursuant to the exchange offer, you will continue to be subject to the restrictions on transfer of your Initial Notes, as set forth in the legend on your Initial Notes. The restrictions on transfer of your Initial Notes arise because we sold the Initial Notes in private offerings. In general, the Initial Notes may not be offered or sold, unless registered under the Securities Act or pursuant to an exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, such requirements.
 
After completion of the exchange offer, holders of Initial Notes who do not tender their Initial Notes in the exchange offer will no longer be entitled to any exchange or registration rights under the registration rights agreement, except under limited circumstances. The tender of Initial Notes under the exchange offer will reduce the principal amount of the currently outstanding Initial Notes. Due to the corresponding reduction in liquidity, this may have an adverse effect upon, and increase the volatility of, the market price of any currently outstanding Initial Notes that you continue to hold following completion of the exchange offer. See “The Exchange Offer.”
 
Your participation in the exchange offer may have adverse consequences.
 
If you exchange your Initial Notes in the exchange offer for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the Exchange Notes, you may be deemed to have received restricted securities and, if so, will be required to comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with any resale transaction.
 
You must comply with the exchange offer procedures in order to receive new, freely tradable exchange notes.
 
Delivery of Exchange Notes in exchange for Initial Notes tendered and accepted for exchange pursuant to the exchange offer will be made provided the procedures for tendering the Initial Notes are followed. We are not required to notify you of defects or irregularities in tenders Initial Notes for exchange. See “The Exchange Offer.”
 
An active trading market for the Exchange Notes may not develop.
 
There is no existing market for the Exchange Notes. The Exchange Notes will not be listed on any securities exchange. There can be no assurance that a trading market for the Exchange Notes will ever develop or will be maintained. Further, there can be no assurance as to the liquidity of any market that may develop for the Exchange Notes, your ability to sell your Exchange Notes or the price at which you will be able to sell your Exchange Notes. Future trading prices of the Exchange Notes will depend on many factors, including prevailing interest rates, our financial condition and results of operations, the then-current ratings assigned to the Exchange Notes, the market for similar securities and the results of our competitors. In addition, if a large amount of Initial Notes are not tendered or are tendered improperly, the limited amount of Exchange Notes that would be issued and outstanding after we consummate this exchange offer would reduce liquidity and could lower the market price of those Exchange Notes.

Table of Contents

Any trading market that develops would be affected by many factors independent of and in addition to the foregoing, including:
 
  •  our operating performance and financial condition;
 
  •  time remaining to the maturity of the Notes;
 
  •  outstanding amount of the Notes;
 
  •  the terms related to optional redemption of the Notes; and
 
  •  level, direction and volatility of market interest rates generally.
 
We have substantial long-term lease and debt obligations, which may restrict our ability to fund current and future operations and restrict our ability to enter into certain transactions.
 
We have, and will continue to have, significant long-term debt service obligations and lease obligations. As of September 30, 2009, we had $1,557.9 million in long-term debt obligations, $142.0 million in capital lease obligations and $1,899.4 million in long-term operating lease obligations. We incurred interest expense of $74.4 million and $56.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2008 and for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, respectively. We incurred $225.6 million and $176.5 million of rent expense under operating leases for the year ended December 31, 2008 and the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, respectively (the terms under these operating leases, excluding renewal options, range from one to 28 years). Our substantial lease and debt obligations pose risks to you by:
 
  •  making it more difficult for us to satisfy our obligations with respect to the Exchange Notes;
 
  •  requiring us to dedicate a substantial portion of our cash flow to payments on our lease and debt obligations, thereby reducing the availability of our cash flow from operations to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and other corporate requirements;
 
  •  impeding our ability to obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and general corporate purposes;
 
  •  subjecting us to the risk of increased sensitivity to interest rate increases on our variable rate debt, including our borrowings under our senior secured credit facility; and
 
  •  making us more vulnerable to a downturn in our business and competitive pressures and limiting our flexibility to plan for, or react to, changes in our industry or the economy.
 
We may incur substantial additional indebtedness, including secured debt.
 
Subject to the restrictions in the indenture governing the Notes and in other instruments governing our other outstanding debt (including our senior secured credit facility), we and our subsidiaries may incur substantial additional debt in the future, including substantial secured debt. Although the indenture governing the Notes and the instruments governing certain of our other outstanding debt contain restrictions on the incurrence of additional debt, these restrictions are subject to a number of significant qualifications and exceptions, and debt incurred in compliance with these restrictions could be substantial. To the extent new debt is added to our current debt levels, the substantial leverage-related risks described above would increase. As of September 30, 2009, there was $121.5 million available to us under our $150.0 million revolving credit facility, subject to compliance with the terms thereof. The availability of our revolving credit facility may have recently been impacted by the insolvency of one of the lenders under the senior secured credit facility. As such, it is uncertain whether we could borrow the portion that would be funded by this insolvent lender, which is approximately $28.5 million. If we or any of our subsidiaries that is a guarantor of the Exchange Notes incur any additional debt that ranks equally with the Exchange Notes (or with the guarantee thereof), including trade payables, the holders of that debt will be entitled to share ratably with holders of Exchange Notes in any proceeds distributed in connection with any insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding-up of us or such guarantor. This may reduce the amount of proceeds paid to holders of the Exchange Notes in connection with such a distribution.

Table of Contents

To service our indebtedness, we will require a significant amount of cash, and our ability to generate cash flow depends on many factors beyond our control.
 
Our ability to make scheduled payments of principal and interest with respect to our indebtedness, including the Exchange Notes, will depend on our ability to generate cash flow and on our future financial results. Similarly, the ability of the guarantors of the Exchange Notes to make payments on and refinance their indebtedness will depend on their ability to generate cash in the future. Our ability to generate cash flow is subject to general economic, financial, competitive, regulatory and other factors that are beyond our control. We and our guarantors cannot assure you that we will continue to generate cash flow at current levels, or that future borrowings will be available under our senior secured credit facility, in an amount sufficient to enable any of us to pay our indebtedness, including the Exchange Notes. If our cash flows and capital resources are insufficient to fund our lease and debt service obligations, we may be forced to reduce or delay capital expenditures, sell assets or operations, seek additional capital or restructure or refinance our indebtedness, including the Exchange Notes. We may not be able to take any of these actions, and these actions may not be successful or permit us to meet our scheduled debt service obligations and these actions may not be permitted under the terms of our existing or future debt agreements, including our senior secured credit facility and the indenture governing the Notes. In the absence of such operating results and resources, we could face substantial liquidity problems and might be required to dispose of material assets or operations to meet our debt service and other obligations. The senior secured credit facility and the indenture governing the Notes restrict our ability to dispose of assets and use the proceeds from the disposition. We may not be able to consummate those dispositions or to obtain the proceeds which we could realize from them and these proceeds may not be adequate to meet any debt service obligations then due.
 
If we fail to make any required payment under the agreements governing our leases and indebtedness or fail to comply with the financial and operating covenants contained in them, we would be in default, and as a result, our debt holders would have the ability to require that we immediately repay our outstanding indebtedness and the lenders under our senior secured credit facility could terminate their commitments to lend us money and foreclose against the assets securing their borrowings and we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation, which could result in the loss of your investment in the Exchange Notes. The acceleration of our indebtedness under one agreement may permit acceleration of indebtedness under other agreements that contain cross-default and cross-acceleration provisions. If our indebtedness is accelerated, we may not be able to repay our indebtedness or borrow sufficient funds to refinance it. Even if we are able to obtain new financing, it may not be on commercially reasonable terms or on terms that are acceptable to us. If our debt holders require immediate payment, we may not have sufficient assets to satisfy our obligations under the Exchange Notes, our senior secured credit facility and our other indebtedness.
 
Your right to receive payments on the Exchange Notes is effectively junior to the right of lenders who have a security interest in our assets to the extent of the value of those assets.
 
Our obligations under the Exchange Notes and the guarantors’ obligations under their guarantees of the Exchange Notes will be unsecured, but our obligations under our senior secured credit facility and each guarantor’s obligations under its guarantee of our indebtedness under our senior secured credit facility are secured by a security interest in substantially all of our domestic tangible and intangible assets, including the stock of substantially all of our wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries. If we are declared bankrupt or insolvent, or if we default under our senior secured credit facility, the amounts borrowed thereunder, together with any accrued interest, could become immediately due and payable. If we were unable to repay such indebtedness, the lenders under our senior secured credit facility could foreclose on the pledged assets to the exclusion of holders of the Exchange Notes, even if an event of default exists under the indenture governing the Notes at such time and the assets that secured the senior secured credit facility will not be available to pay our obligations under the Exchange Notes unless and until payment in full of our secured obligations. Holders of the Exchange Notes will participate in our remaining assets ratably with all holders of our unsecured indebtedness that is deemed to be of the same class as the Exchange Notes, and potentially with all of our other general creditors. Furthermore, if the lenders foreclose and sell the pledged equity interests in any guarantor in a transaction permitted under the terms of the indenture governing the Notes, then such guarantor


16


Table of Contents

will be released from its guarantee of the Exchange Notes automatically and immediately upon such sale. In any such event, because the Exchange Notes are not secured by any of such assets or by the equity interests in any such guarantor, it is possible that there would be no assets from which your claims could be satisfied or, if any assets existed, they might be insufficient to satisfy your claims in full. The guarantees of the Exchange Notes will have a similar ranking with respect to secured and unsecured indebtedness of the guarantors as the Exchange Notes do with respect to our secured and unsecured indebtedness. As of September 30, 2009, we had $1,086.4 million outstanding under our senior secured credit facility. Please see “Description of Certain Debt Instruments.” Subject to the limits set forth in the indenture, we may also incur additional secured debt.
 
Our ability to repay our debt, including the Exchange Notes, is affected by the cash flow generated by our subsidiaries.
 
Our subsidiaries own some of our assets and conduct some of our operations. Accordingly, repayment of our indebtedness, including the Exchange Notes, will be dependent on the generation of cash flow by our subsidiaries and their ability to make such cash available to us, by dividend, debt repayment or otherwise. Unless they are guarantors, our subsidiaries will not have any obligation to pay amounts due on the Exchange Notes or to make funds available for that purpose. Our subsidiaries may not be able to, or may not be permitted to, make distributions to enable us to make payments in respect of our indebtedness, including the Exchange Notes. Each subsidiary is a distinct legal entity and, under certain circumstances, legal and contractual restrictions may limit our ability to obtain cash from our subsidiaries. While the indenture governing the Notes limits the ability of our non-guarantor subsidiaries to incur consensual encumbrances or restrictions on their ability to pay dividends or make other intercompany payments to us, these limitations are subject to certain qualifications and exceptions. In the event that we do not receive distributions from our subsidiaries, we may be unable to make required principal and interest payments on our indebtedness, including the Exchange Notes.
 
We have capacity to make substantial restricted payments.
 
We have capacity to make substantial restricted payments. Our indirect parent, Cinemark Holdings will rely on distributions from us to make dividend payments to its stockholders and for other ongoing operating expenses. We have distributed substantially all of the net proceeds from the offering of the Initial Notes to Cinemark, Inc. to fund its purchase of the Existing Discount Notes in the Cash Tender Offer. See “Prospectus Summary — Recent Developments — Related Transactions.”
 
Claims of holders of Exchange Notes will be structurally subordinated to claims of creditors of our subsidiaries that do not guarantee the Exchange Notes.
 
We conduct some of our operations through our subsidiaries, and certain of our subsidiaries do not guarantee the Exchange Notes. You do not have a claim as a creditor against any of our subsidiaries that are not guarantors of the Exchange Notes, and the indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, whether secured or unsecured, of those subsidiaries will be effectively senior to your claims as a noteholder. Subject to certain limitations, the indenture governing the Notes permits us to form or acquire additional subsidiaries that are not guarantors of the Exchange Notes and to permit such non-guarantor subsidiaries to acquire and incur additional indebtedness. Holders of Exchange Notes do not have any claim as a creditor against any of our non-guarantor subsidiaries to the assets and earnings of those subsidiaries. The claims of the creditors of those subsidiaries, including their trade creditors, banks and other lenders, would have priority over any of our claims or those of our other subsidiaries as equity holders of the non-guarantor subsidiaries. Consequently, in any insolvency, liquidation, reorganization, dissolution or other winding-up of any of the non-guarantor subsidiaries, creditors of those subsidiaries would be paid before any amounts would be distributed to us or to any of the guarantors as equity, and thus will not be available to satisfy our obligations under the Exchange Notes and other claims against us or the guarantors.
 
For the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, the non-guarantor subsidiaries generated in the aggregate approximately $320.0 million, or 22.2%, of our consolidated revenues. As of September 30, 2009, the non-guarantor subsidiaries accounted for $667.2 million, or 21.0%, of our consolidated total assets and the


17


Table of Contents

indebtedness and other liabilities of the non-guarantor subsidiaries were approximately $178.2 million in the aggregate. The indenture governing the Notes permit these subsidiaries to incur significant additional debt.
 
The guarantees of the Exchange Notes may be released in a variety of circumstances.
 
Any guarantee of the Exchange Notes may be released without action by, or consent of, any holder of the Exchange Notes or the trustee under the indenture governing the Notes, if our guarantor is no longer a guarantor or otherwise liable with respect to any of our and our guarantors’ other indebtedness, including the indebtedness under the senior secured credit facility. In addition, a guarantee of the Exchange Notes will be released upon the sale of capital stock of a guarantor or the sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of a guarantor in transactions that comply with the terms of the indenture. You will not have a claim as a creditor against any subsidiary that is no longer a guarantor of the Exchange Notes, and the indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, whether secured or unsecured, of those subsidiaries will be structurally senior to your claims.
 
If we default on our obligations to pay our other indebtedness, we may not be able to make payments on the Exchange Notes.
 
If we are unable to generate sufficient cash flow and are otherwise unable to obtain funds necessary to meet required payments of principal, premium, if any, and interest on our indebtedness, or if we otherwise fail to comply with the various covenants under the agreements governing our indebtedness, including financial and operating covenants, we could be in default under the terms of such agreements. In the event of any such default:
 
  •  the holders of such indebtedness could elect to declare all the funds borrowed thereunder to be due and payable, together with accrued and unpaid interest;
 
  •  the lenders under our senior secured credit facility could elect to terminate their commitments thereunder, cease making further loans and commence foreclosure proceedings against our assets; and
 
  •  we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.
 
If we breach our covenants under our senior secured credit facility and seek a waiver, we may not be able to obtain a waiver from the required lenders. If this occurs, we would be in default under our senior secured credit facility, the lenders could exercise their rights, as described above, and we could be forced into bankruptcy or liquidation.
 
Restrictive covenants in our debt agreements may adversely affect us.
 
Our senior secured credit facility contains, and the indenture governing the Notes contains, financial and other restrictive covenants that limit our ability to engage in activities that may be in our long-term best interests. For example, these covenants significantly restrict our and certain of our subsidiaries’ ability to:
 
  •  borrow money;
 
  •  pay dividends or make other distributions;
 
  •  repurchase or redeem capital stock or subordinated indebtedness and make investments;
 
  •  create liens;
 
  •  incur dividend or other payment restrictions affecting non-guarantor subsidiaries;
 
  •  transfer or sell assets, including capital stock of subsidiaries;
 
  •  merge or consolidate with other entities or transfer all or substantially all of our assets;
 
  •  engage in certain business activities; and
 
  •  enter into transactions with affiliates.


18


Table of Contents

 
These covenants are subject to a number of important exceptions and qualifications. These restrictions could affect our ability to operate our business and may limit our ability to take advantage of potential business opportunities. Events beyond our control can affect our ability to comply with these covenants. Failure to comply with these covenants could result in an event of default which, if not cured or waived, could result in the acceleration of all of our debts. If an event of default occurs, we cannot assure you that we would have sufficient assets to repay all of our obligations. In addition, under our senior secured credit facility, when the revolver is drawn or letters of credit are outstanding, we are required to satisfy a consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio covenant as determined in accordance with the senior secured credit facility. You should read the discussions under the heading “Description of Certain Debt Instruments — Senior Secured Credit Facility” for further information about the covenants contained in the senior secured credit facility.
 
Variable rate indebtedness subjects us to interest rate risk, which could cause our debt service obligations to increase significantly.
 
Certain of our borrowings, primarily borrowings under our senior secured credit facility, are at variable interest rates and expose us to interest rate risk. If interest rates increase, our debt service obligations on the variable rate indebtedness would increase even though the amount borrowed remained the same, and our net income would decrease. Although we have entered into, and may continue to enter into, interest rate swaps, involving the exchange of floating for fixed rate interest payments, to reduce interest volatility, we cannot assure you we will or will be able to continue to do so.
 
Under insolvency and fraudulent conveyance laws, a court could void obligations under the Exchange Notes.
 
Under the federal bankruptcy laws and comparable provisions of state fraudulent transfer and conveyance laws, a court could void obligations under the Exchange Notes or the guarantees, subordinate those obligations to more junior obligations or require holders of the Exchange Notes to repay any payments made under the Exchange Notes or pursuant to the guarantees if an unpaid creditor or representative of creditors, such as a trustee in bankruptcy or the Company as a debtor-in-possession, claims that the Exchange Notes or guarantees constituted a fraudulent conveyance. For this claim to succeed, the claimant must generally show that (1) we paid the consideration, or any guarantor issued its guarantee, with the intent of hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors, or (2) we, or any of the guarantors, received less than reasonably equivalent value or fair consideration in return for paying the consideration or issuing their respective guarantees, and, in the case of (2) above only, one of the following is also true:
 
  •  we or any of the guarantors were insolvent or rendered insolvent by reason of the incurrence of the indebtedness; or
 
  •  payment of the consideration left us or any of the guarantors with an unreasonably small amount of capital to carry on the business; or
 
  •  we or any of our guarantors intended to, or believed that we or it would, incur debts beyond our or its ability to pay as they mature.
 
We cannot be certain as to the standards a court would use to determine whether or not we or the guarantors were solvent at the relevant time or, regardless of the standard that a court uses, that the issuance of the Exchange Notes or the guarantees would not be subordinated to our or any of our guarantors’ other debt. In the event of a finding that a fraudulent transfer or conveyance occurred, you may not receive any repayment on the Exchange Notes.
 
Generally, an obligor will be considered insolvent for these purposes if:
 
  •  the sum of its debts, including contingent liabilities, was greater than the salable value of all of its assets at a fair valuation;


19


Table of Contents

 
  •  the present fair salable value of its assets was less than the amount that would be required to pay its probable liability on its existing debts, including contingent liabilities, as they become absolute and mature; or
 
  •  it could not pay its debts as they become due.
 
We may not be permitted or have the ability to purchase the Exchange Notes upon a change of control, as required by the indenture.
 
Upon the occurrence of specific kinds of change of control events, we will be required to offer to repurchase all the Exchange Notes at 101% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase. We may not be able to repurchase the Exchange Notes upon a change of control because we or our subsidiaries may not have sufficient funds, and we may be required to secure third party financing to do so. We may not be able to obtain this financing on commercially reasonable terms, or on terms acceptable to us, or at all. Our failure to repurchase the Exchange Notes upon a change of control would cause a default under the indenture. It would also result in a cross-default under the senior secured credit facility and permit lenders to accelerate the maturity of borrowings under our senior secured credit facility and, if such debt is not paid, to enforce security interests in the collateral securing such debt, thereby limiting our ability to raise cash to purchase the Exchange Notes, and reducing the practical benefit of the offer-to-purchase provisions to the holders of the Exchange Notes. Accordingly, we may not be able to satisfy our obligations to purchase your Exchange Notes unless we are able to refinance or obtain waivers under our senior secured credit facility. We may enter into debt agreements containing similar provisions in the future.
 
The change of control provisions in the indenture governing the Notes may not protect you in the event we consummate a highly leveraged transaction, reorganization, restructuring, merger or other similar transaction, unless such transaction constitutes a change of control under the indenture. If an event occurs that does not constitute a change of control under the indenture governing the Notes, we will not be required to make an offer to repurchase the Exchange Notes and you may be required to continue to hold your Exchange Notes despite the event.
 
You will be required to pay U.S. federal income tax on accrual of original issue discount on the Exchange Notes even if we do not pay cash interest. Additionally, in the event we enter into bankruptcy, you may not have a claim for all or a portion of any unamortized amount of the original discount on the notes.
 
Since the Initial Notes were issued with OID, the Exchange Notes should be treated as having been issued with OID for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Thus, in addition to the stated interest on the Exchange Notes, U.S. Holders (as defined in the section entitled “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences”) will be required to include amounts representing the OID in gross income on a constant yield basis for U.S. federal income tax purposes in advance of the receipt of cash payments to which such income is attributable. For more information, see “Certain United States Federal Income Tax Consequences.” Additionally, a bankruptcy court may not allow a claim for all or a portion of any unamortized amount of the OID on the Exchange Notes.
 
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
 
Our business depends on film production and performance.
 
Our business depends on both the availability of suitable films for exhibition in our theatres and the success of those films in our markets. Poor performance of films, the disruption in the production of films due to events such as a strike by directors, writers or actors, a reduction in financing options for the film distributors, or a reduction in the marketing efforts of the film distributors to promote their films could have an adverse effect on our business by resulting in fewer patrons and reduced revenues.


20


Table of Contents

A deterioration in relationships with film distributors could adversely affect our ability to obtain commercially successful films.
 
We rely on the film distributors to supply the films shown in our theatres. The film distribution business is highly concentrated, with six major film distributors accounting for approximately 81% of U.S. box office revenues and 47 of the top 50 grossing films during 2008. Numerous antitrust cases and consent decrees resulting from these antitrust cases impact the distribution of films. The consent decrees bind certain major film distributors to license films to exhibitors on a theatre-by-theatre and film-by-film basis. Consequently, we cannot guarantee a supply of films by entering into long-term arrangements with major distributors. We are therefore required to negotiate licenses for each film and for each theatre. A deterioration in our relationship with any of the six major film distributors could adversely affect our ability to obtain commercially successful films and to negotiate favorable licensing terms for such films, both of which could adversely affect our business and operating results.
 
Our results of operations vary from period to period based upon the quantity and quality of the motion pictures that we show in our theatres.
 
Our results of operations vary from period to period based upon the quantity and quality of the motion pictures that we show in our theatres. The major film distributors generally release the films they anticipate will be most successful during the summer and holiday seasons. Consequently, we typically generate higher revenues during these periods. Due to the dependency on the success of films released from one period to the next, results of operations for one period may not be indicative of the results for the following period or the same period in the following year.
 
We face intense competition for patrons and films which may adversely affect our business.
 
The motion picture industry is highly competitive. We compete against local, regional, national and international exhibitors. We compete for both patrons and licensing of films. The competition for patrons is dependent upon such factors as the availability of popular films, the location and number of theatres and screens in a market, the comfort and quality of the theatres, levels of customer service, and pricing. The principal competitive factors with respect to film licensing include licensing terms, number of seats and screens available for a particular picture, revenue potential and the location and condition of an exhibitor’s theatres. If we are unable to attract patrons or to license successful films, our business may be adversely affected.
 
An increase in the use of alternative or “downstream” film distribution channels and other competing forms of entertainment may reduce movie theatre attendance and limit ticket price growth.
 
We face competition for patrons from a number of alternative film distribution channels, such as DVDs, network and syndicated television, video on-demand, pay-per-view television and the Internet. We also compete with other forms of entertainment, such as concerts, amusement parks and sporting events, for our patrons’ leisure time and disposable income. A significant increase in popularity of these alternative film distribution channels and competing forms of entertainment could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations.
 
Our results of operations may be impacted by shrinking video release windows.
 
Over the last decade, the average video release window, which represents the time that elapses from the date of a film’s theatrical release to the date a film is available on DVD, an important downstream market, has decreased from approximately six months to approximately four months. If patrons choose to wait for a DVD release rather than attend a theatre for viewing, it may adversely impact our business and results of operations, financial condition and cash flows. We cannot assure you that this release window, which is determined by the film studios, will not shrink further or be eliminated altogether, which could have an adverse impact on our business and results of operations.

The oversupply of screens in the motion picture exhibition industry may adversely affect the performance of some of our theatres.
 
During the period between 1996 and 2000, theatre exhibitors focused on the development of large multiplexes. The strategy of aggressively building multiplexes was adopted throughout the industry during that time and resulted in an oversupply of screens in the North American exhibition industry and negatively impacted many older multiplex theatres, leading to financial difficulty for some of the exhibitors. According to MPAA, screen counts have increased each year since 2003. If exhibitors continue to build theatres and demand for such theatres does not grow at the same rate, the performance of some of our theatres could be adversely affected.
 
General political, social and economic conditions can adversely affect our attendance.
 
Our results of operations are dependent on general political, social and economic conditions, and the impact of such conditions on our theatre operating costs and on the willingness of consumers to spend money at movie theatres. If consumers’ discretionary income declines as a result of an economic downturn, our operations could be adversely affected. If theatre operating costs, such as utility costs, increase due to political or economic changes, our results of operations could be adversely affected. Political events, such as terrorist attacks, and health-related epidemics, such as flu outbreaks, could cause people to avoid our theatres or other public places where large crowds are in attendance. In addition, a natural disaster, such as a hurricane or an earthquake, could impact our ability to operate certain of our theatres, which could adversely affect our attendance.
 
Our foreign operations are subject to adverse regulations, economic instability and currency exchange risk.
 
We currently have 130 theatres with 1,066 screens in thirteen countries in Latin America. Brazil and Mexico represented approximately 10.7% and 4.5% of our consolidated 2008 revenues, respectively. Governmental regulation of the motion picture industry in foreign markets differs from that in the United States. Changes in regulations affecting prices, quota systems requiring the exhibition of locally produced films and restrictions on ownership of property may adversely affect our international operations in foreign markets. Our international operations are subject to certain political, economic and other uncertainties not encountered by our domestic operations, including risks of severe economic downturns and high inflation. We also face risks of currency fluctuations, hard currency shortages and controls of foreign currency exchange and transfers abroad, all of which could have an adverse effect on the results of our international operations.
 
We may not be able to generate additional revenues or continue to realize value from our investment in National CineMedia, Inc.
 
In 2005, we joined Regal Entertainment Inc., or Regal, and AMC Entertainment, Inc., or AMC, as founding members of National CineMedia, Inc., or NCM, a provider of digital advertising content and digital non-film event content. We currently have an interest in NCM of approximately 15.0%. We receive a monthly theatre access fee under our Exhibitor Services Agreement with NCM and we are entitled to receive mandatory quarterly distributions of excess cash from NCM. During the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008 and the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company received approximately $5.7 million, $1.8 million and $4.3 million in other revenues from NCM, respectively, and $11.5 million, $18.8 million, and $15.8 million in cash distributions from NCM, respectively. Cinema advertising is a small component of the U.S. advertising market and therefore, NCM competes with larger, established and well known media platforms such as broadcast radio and television, cable and satellite television, outdoor advertising and Internet portals. NCM also competes with other cinema advertising companies and with hotels, conference centers, arenas, restaurants and convention facilities for its non-film related events to be shown or held in our auditoriums. In-theatre advertising may not continue to attract advertisers or NCM’s in-theatre advertising format may not continue to be received favorably by the theatre-going public. If NCM is unable to continue to generate expected sales of advertising, its results of operations may be adversely affected and our investment in and distributions and revenues from NCM may be adversely impacted.

We are subject to uncertainties related to digital cinema, including potentially high costs of re-equipping theatres with projectors to show digital movies.
 
Digital cinema is still in an early conversion stage in our industry. We, along with some of our competitors, have commenced a roll-out of digital equipment for exhibiting feature films. However, significant obstacles exist that impact such a roll-out plan including the cost of digital projectors, the substantial investment in re-equipping theatres and determining who will be responsible for such costs. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain financing arrangements to fund the digital cinema roll-out in our theatres nor that such financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all. As a result, our roll-out of digital equipment could be delayed.
 
We are subject to uncertainties relating to future expansion plans, including our ability to identify suitable acquisition candidates or site locations, and to obtain financing for such activities on favorable terms or at all.
 
We have greatly expanded our operations over the last decade through targeted worldwide theatre development and acquisitions. We will continue to pursue a strategy of expansion that will involve the development of new theatres and may involve acquisitions of existing theatres and theatre circuits both in the U.S. and internationally. There is significant competition for new site locations and for existing theatre and theatre circuit acquisition opportunities. As a result of such competition, we may not be able to acquire attractive site locations, existing theatres or theatre circuits on terms we consider acceptable. Acquisitions and expansion opportunities may divert a significant amount of management’s time away from the operation of our business. Growth by acquisition also involves risks relating to difficulties in integrating the operations and personnel of acquired companies and the potential loss of key employees of acquired companies. We cannot assure you that our expansion strategy will result in improvements to our business, financial condition, profitability, or cash flows. Further, our expansion programs may require financing above our existing borrowing capacity and internally generated funds. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain such financing or that such financing will be available to us on acceptable terms or at all.
 
If we do not comply with the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and a consent order we entered into with the Department of Justice, or the DOJ, we could be subject to further litigation.
 
Our theatres must comply with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, or the ADA, and analogous state and local laws. Compliance with the ADA requires, among other things, that public facilities “reasonably accommodate” individuals with disabilities and that new construction or alterations made to “commercial facilities” conform to accessibility guidelines unless “structurally impracticable” for new construction or technically infeasible for alterations. In March 1999, the DOJ filed suit against us in Ohio alleging certain violations of the ADA relating to wheelchair seating arrangements in certain of our stadium-style theatres and seeking remedial action. We and the DOJ have resolved this lawsuit and a consent order was entered by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, on November 15, 2004. Under the consent order, we were required to make modifications to wheelchair seating locations in fourteen stadium-style movie theatres and spacing and companion seating modifications in 67 auditoriums at other stadium-styled movie theatres by November 2009. These modifications were completed by November 2009 and we are currently in compliance with the consent order. We believe that these modifications allow these theatres to comply with wheelchair seating requirements and that no further modifications will be required to our other stadiumstyle movie theatres in the United States existing on the date of the consent order. In addition, under the consent order, the DOJ approved the seating plans for nine stadium-styled movie theatres then under construction and also created a safe harbor framework for us to construct all of our future stadium-style movie theatres. The DOJ has stipulated that all theatres built in compliance with the consent order will comply with the wheelchair seating requirements of the ADA. If we fail to comply with the ADA, remedies could include imposition of injunctive relief, fines, awards for damages to private litigants and additional capital expenditures to remedy non-compliance. Imposition of significant fines, damage awards or capital expenditures to cure non-compliance could adversely affect our business and operating results.

We depend on key personnel for our current and future performance.
 
Our current and future performance depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of our senior management team and other key personnel. The loss or unavailability to us of any member of our senior management team or a key employee could significantly harm us. We cannot assure you that we would be able to locate or employ qualified replacements for senior management or key employees on acceptable terms.
 
We are subject to impairment losses due to potential declines in the fair value of our assets.
 
We review long-lived assets for impairment indicators on a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. We assess many factors when determining whether to impair individual theatre assets, including actual theatre level cash flows, future years budgeted theatre level cash flows, theatre property and equipment carrying values, amortizing intangible assets carrying values, the age of a recently built theatre, competitive theatres in the marketplace, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the impact of recent ticket price changes, available lease renewal options and other factors considered relevant in our assessment of impairment of individual theatre assets. Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment on an individual theatre basis, which we believe is the lowest applicable level for which there are identifiable cash flows. The impairment evaluation is based on the estimated undiscounted cash flows from continuing use through the remainder of the theatre’s useful life. The remainder of the useful life correlates with the available remaining lease period, which includes the probability of renewal periods, for leased properties and a period of twenty years for fee owned properties. If the estimated undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover a long-lived asset’s carrying value, we then compare the carrying value of the asset group (theatre) with its estimated fair value. Fair value is determined based on a multiple of cash flows, which was eight times for the evaluations performed during 2006, 2007 and the first, second and third quarters of 2008 and six and a half times for the evaluation performed during the fourth quarter of 2008 and the evaluations performed during 2009. When estimated fair value is determined to be lower than the carrying value of the asset group (theatre), the asset group (theatre) is written down to its estimated fair value. Significant judgment is involved in estimating cash flows and fair value. Management’s estimates are based on historical and projected operating performance as well as recent market transactions.
 
We evaluate goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level at least annually during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill might exceed its estimated fair value. Goodwill impairment is evaluated using a two-step approach requiring us to compute the fair value of a reporting unit and compare it with its carrying value. If the carrying value of the theatre exceeds its fair value, a second step would be performed to measure the potential goodwill impairment. Fair values are determined based on a multiple of cash flows, which was eight times for the evaluations performed during 2006 and 2007 and six and a half times for the evaluation performed during 2008. Significant judgment is involved in estimating cash flows and fair value. Management’s estimates are based on historical and projected operating performance as well as recent market transactions. Prior to January 1, 2008, we considered our theatres reporting units for purposes of evaluating goodwill for impairment. Recent changes in the organization, including changes in the structure of the executive management team, the initial public offering of common stock of Cinemark Holdings, the resulting changes in the level at which the management team evaluates the business on a regular basis, and the Century Acquisition that increased the size of our theatre base by approximately 25%, led management to conclude that its U.S. regions and international countries are now more reflective of how we manage and operate our business. Accordingly, the U.S. regions and international countries represent the appropriate reporting units for purposes of evaluating goodwill for impairment. Consequently, effective January 1, 2008, management changed the reporting unit to sixteen regions in the U.S. and each of eight countries internationally (Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Guatemala are considered one reporting unit) from approximately four hundred theatres. The goodwill impairment test performed during December 2007 that resulted in the recording of impairment charges during the year ended December 31, 2007 reflected the final calculation utilizing theatres as reporting units.
 
Tradename intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. We estimate the fair value of our tradenames by applying an estimated market royalty rate that could be charged for the use of our tradename


24


Table of Contents

to forecasted future revenues, with an adjustment for the present value of such royalties. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value, the tradename intangible asset is written down to the estimated fair value.
 
We recorded asset impairment charges, including goodwill impairment charges, of $5.7 million, $23.3 million, $86.6 million, $113.5 million and $8.1 million for the period from January 1, 2006 to October 4, 2006, the period from October 5, 2006 to December 31, 2006, for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, and for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively. We cannot assure you that additional impairment charges will not be required in the future, and such charges may have an adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and Notes 10 and 11 to our audited consolidated financial statements and Notes 10 and 11 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.
 
The impairment or insolvency of other financial institutions could adversely affect us.
 
We have exposure to different counterparties with regard to our interest rate swap agreements. These transactions expose us to credit risk in the event of a default by one or more of our counterparties to such agreements. We also have exposure to financial institutions used as depositories of our corporate cash balances. If our counterparties or financial institutions become impaired or insolvent, this could have a material impact on our results of operations or impair our ability to access our cash. The availability of our $150.0 million revolving credit facility may have recently been impacted by the insolvency of one of the lenders under the senior secured credit facility. As such, it is uncertain whether we could borrow the portion that would be funded by this insolvent lender, which is approximately $28.5 million.
 
The credit market crisis may adversely affect our ability to raise capital and may materially impact our operations.
 
The severe dislocations and liquidity disruptions in the credit markets could materially impact our ability to obtain debt financing on reasonable terms or at all. The inability to access debt financing on reasonable terms could materially impact our ability to make acquisitions or materially expand our business in the future. Additionally, a prolonged economic downturn or recession could materially impact our operations to the extent that it results in reduced demand for moviegoing and concession sales. If current market and economic conditions persist or deteriorate, we may experience adverse impacts on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
 
We may be subject to liability under environmental laws and regulations.
 
We own and operate a large number of theatres and other properties within the United States and internationally, which may be subject to various foreign, federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment or human health. Such environmental laws and regulations include those that impose liability for the investigation and remediation of spills or releases of hazardous materials. We may incur such liability, including for any currently or formerly owned, leased or operated property, or for any site, to which we may have disposed, or arranged for the disposal of, hazardous materials or wastes. Certain of these laws and regulations may impose liability, including on a joint and several liability, which can result in a liable party being obliged to pay for greater than its share, regardless of fault or the legality of the original disposal. Environmental conditions relating to our properties or operations could have an adverse effect on our business and results of operations and cash flows.
 
The interests of Madison Dearborn Capital Partners IV, L.P. may not be aligned with yours.
 
Cinemark Holdings, our indirect parent company, is controlled by Madison Dearborn Capital Partners IV, L.P., or MDCP, an affiliate of Madison Dearborn Partners LLC. MDCP beneficially owns approximately 46% of Holdings Common Stock, and under a director nomination agreement, is entitled to designate nominees for five members of Cinemark Holdings’s board of directors, which currently consists of ten members. Accordingly, MDCP has significant influence and effectively controls our corporate and management policies and effectively determines, without the consent of the other stockholders, the outcome of any corporate transaction or other matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including potential mergers or acquisitions, asset sales and other significant corporate transactions. MDCP could take other actions that might be desirable to MDCP but that might be adverse to your interests as holders of the Exchange Notes.

USE OF PROCEEDS
 
This exchange offer is intended to satisfy certain of our obligations under the exchange and registration rights agreement between us and the initial purchasers of the Initial Notes. We will not receive any cash proceeds from the issuance of the Exchange Notes. In consideration for issuing the Exchange Notes as contemplated in this prospectus, we will receive in exchange, Initial Notes in like principal amount, the terms of which are the same in all material respects as the form and terms of the Exchange Notes except that the Exchange Notes have been registered under the Securities Act and will not contain terms restricting the transfer thereof or providing for registration rights. The Initial Notes surrendered in exchange for the Exchange Notes will be retired and cancelled and cannot be reissued. Accordingly, issuance of the Exchange Notes will not increase our indebtedness.

THE EXCHANGE OFFER
 
Purpose and Effect of this Exchange Offer
 
In connection with the issuance of the Initial Notes, we entered into an exchange and registration rights agreement that provides for the exchange offer. The registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part was filed in compliance with the obligations under the exchange and registration rights agreement. A copy of the exchange and registration rights agreement relating to the Initial Notes is filed as an exhibit to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part. Under the exchange and registration rights agreement relating to the Initial Notes we agreed that we would, subject to certain exceptions:
 
  •  use our commercially reasonable best efforts to file, within 90 days after the issue date of the Initial Notes, a registration statement with the SEC, with respect to a registered offer to exchange such Initial Notes for the Exchange Notes having terms substantially identical in all material respects to the Initial Notes (except that the Exchange Notes will not contain transfer restrictions);
 
  •  use our commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act no later than 180 days after the issue date of the Initial Notes;
 
  •  use our commercially reasonable best efforts to issue the Exchange Notes in exchange for surrender of the Initial Notes no later than 30 days following the declaration of the effectiveness of the registration statement; and
 
  •  if obligated to file a shelf registration statement, use our commercially reasonable best efforts to file the shelf registration statement with the SEC on or prior to 30 days after such filing obligation arises (and in any event within 210 days after the issue date of the Initial Notes) and to cause the shelf registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC within 180 days after such obligation arises.
 
For each Initial Note tendered to us pursuant to the exchange offer, we will issue to the holder of such Initial Note an Exchange Note having a principal amount equal to that of the surrendered Initial Note.
 
Under existing SEC interpretations, the Exchange Notes will be freely transferable by holders other than our affiliates after the exchange offer without further registration under the Securities Act if the holder of the Exchange Notes represents to us in the exchange offer that it is acquiring the Exchange Notes in the ordinary course of its business, that it has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Notes and that it is not an affiliate of ours, as such terms are interpreted by the SEC; provided, however, that broker-dealers receiving the Exchange Notes in the exchange offer will have a prospectus delivery requirement with respect to resales of such Exchange Notes. The SEC has taken the position that such participating broker-dealers may fulfill their prospectus delivery requirements with respect to the Exchange Notes (other than a resale of an unsold allotment from the original sale of the Initial Notes) with this prospectus contained in the registration statement. Each broker-dealer that receives the Exchange Notes for its own account in exchange for the Initial Notes, where such Initial Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of such Exchange Notes. See “Plan of Distribution.”
 
A holder of Initial Notes (other than certain specified holders) who wishes to exchange the Initial Notes for the Exchange Notes in the exchange offer will be required to represent that any Exchange Notes to be received by it will be acquired in the ordinary course of its business and that at the time of the commencement of the exchange offer it has no arrangement or understanding with any person to participate in the distribution (within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Exchange Notes and that it is not an “affiliate” of ours, as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, or if it is an affiliate, that it will comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act to the extent applicable. In the event that:
 
(1) we are not required to file an exchange offer registration statement or consummate the exchange offer because the exchange offer is not permitted by applicable law or SEC policy; or
 
(2) any holder of the Initial Notes or Exchange Notes notifies us on or prior to the 20th business day following the consummation of the exchange offer that;


27


Table of Contents

(a) such holder is prohibited by a change in applicable law or SEC policy from participating in the exchange offer,
 
(b) such holder may not resell the Exchange Notes to be acquired by it in the exchange offer to the public without delivering a prospectus and that the prospectus contained in the exchange offer registration statement is not appropriate or available for such resales by such holder, or
 
(c) such holder is a broker-dealer and owns Initial Notes directly from us,
 
then, we will, subject to certain exceptions,
 
(1) use our reasonable best efforts to file a shelf registration statement with the SEC covering resales of the Initial Notes or Exchange Notes, as the case may be, on or prior to the date (which we call the shelf filing date) which is the 30th day after the date on which the obligation to file the shelf registration statement arises (and in any event on or prior to the date which is the 180th day after the date we issued the Initial Notes);
 
(2) use our reasonable best efforts to cause the shelf registration statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act on or prior to the 180th day after the obligation to file the shelf registration statement arises; and
 
(3) use our best efforts to keep the shelf registration statement continuously effective, supplemented and amended until two years from the date we issued the Initial Notes registered thereunder.
 
We will, in the event a shelf registration statement is filed, among other things, provide to each holder for whom such shelf registration statement was filed copies of the prospectus which is a part of the shelf registration statement, notify each such holder when the shelf registration statement has become effective and take certain other actions as are required to permit unrestricted resales of the Initial Notes or the Exchange Notes, as the case may be. A holder selling such Initial Notes or Exchange Notes pursuant to the shelf registration statement generally would be required to be named as a selling security holder in the related prospectus and to deliver a prospectus to purchasers, will be subject to certain of the civil liability provisions under the Securities Act in connection with such sales and will be bound by the provisions of the registration rights agreement that are applicable to such holder (including certain indemnification obligations).
 
We will pay additional cash interest on the applicable Initial Notes and Exchange Notes, subject to certain exceptions:
 
(1) if we fail to file the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part with the SEC on or prior to the 90th day after the issue date of the Initial Notes;
 
(2) if the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is not declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the 180th day after the issue date of the Initial Notes;
 
(3) if the exchange offer is not consummated on or before the 30th business day after the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part is declared effective;
 
(4) if obligated to file the shelf registration statement, we fail to file the shelf registration statement with the SEC on or prior to the shelf filing date;
 
(5) if obligated to file a shelf registration statement, the shelf registration statement is not declared effective on or prior to the 180th day after the shelf filing date; or
 
(6) after the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part or the shelf registration statement, as the case may be, is declared effective, such registration statement thereafter ceases to be effective or usable for its intended purpose without being succeeded within two business days by a post effective amendment to such registration statement that cures such failure and that is immediately declared effective.
 
The rate of any such additional interest will be 0.50% per annum. The amount of additional interest will increase by an additional 0.50% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period relating to such


28


Table of Contents

registration default until cured up to a maximum of 1.0% per annum. We will pay any such additional interest on regular interest payment dates. Such additional interest will be in addition to any other interest payable from time to time with respect to the Initial Notes and the Exchange Notes. The accrual of additional interest will cease, upon the earlier of, the third anniversary of the date we issued the Initial Notes or the cure of all registration defaults.
 
All references in the indenture governing the Notes, in any context, to any interest or other amount payable on or with respect to the Initial Notes or the Exchange Notes shall be deemed to include any additional interest pursuant to the exchange and registration rights agreement relating to the Initial Notes.
 
If we effect the exchange offer, we will be entitled to close the exchange offer 30 days after the commencement thereof provided that we have accepted all Initial Notes theretofore validly tendered in accordance with the terms of the exchange offer. Initial Notes will be validly tendered if tendered in accordance with the terms of the exchange offer as detailed under “— Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes.”
 
Background of the Exchange Offer
 
We issued $470,000,000 aggregate principal amount of the Initial Notes on June 29, 2009. The Initial Notes were offered and sold in the United States only to qualified institutional buyers in reliance on Rule 144A under the Securities Act, and to certain non-U.S. persons in transactions outside the United States in reliance on Regulation S under the Securities Act based on the representations and agreements of the qualified institutional buyers and certain non-U.S. persons made in connection with their purchase of the Initial Notes. The terms of the Exchange Notes and the Initial Notes will be identical in all material respects, except for transfer restrictions and registration rights that will not apply to the Exchange Notes. Cash interest will be payable on the Exchange Notes on June 15 and December 15 of each year, beginning on December 15, 2009. The Exchange Notes will mature on June 15, 2019.
 
In order to exchange your Initial Notes for the Exchange Notes containing no transfer restrictions in the exchange offer, you will be required to make the following representations:
 
  •  the Exchange Notes will be acquired in the ordinary course of your business;
 
  •  you have no arrangements with any person to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Notes; and
 
  •  you are not our “affiliate” as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, or if you are an affiliate of ours, you will comply with the applicable registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
 
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this prospectus and in the related letter of transmittal, we will accept for exchange any Initial Notes validly tendered and not validly withdrawn in the exchange offer, and the exchange agent will deliver the Exchange Notes promptly after the expiration date of the exchange offer. Initial Notes will be validly tendered and not validly withdrawn if they are tendered in accordance with the terms of the exchange offer as detailed under “— Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes” and not withdrawn in accordance with the terms of the exchange offer as detailed under “— Withdrawal of Tenders.” We expressly reserve the right to delay acceptance, subject to Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act, of any of the tendered Initial Notes or terminate the exchange offer and not accept for exchange any tendered Initial Notes not already accepted if any condition set forth under “— Conditions to the Exchange Offer” have not been satisfied or waived by us or do not comply, in whole or in part, with the securities laws or changes in any applicable law. We reserve the right to delay acceptance of the tendered Initial Notes if any condition set forth under “— Conditions to the Exchange Offer” is not satisfied or if the exchange offer is extended.
 
If you tender your Initial Notes, you will not be required to pay brokerage commissions or fees or, subject to the instructions in the letter of transmittal, transfer taxes with respect to the exchange of the Initial Notes.
 
Expiration Date; Extensions; Termination; Amendments
 
The exchange offer will expire at midnight, New York City time, on          , 2009, unless we extend it. We expressly reserve the right to extend the exchange offer on a daily basis or for such period or periods as


29


Table of Contents

we may determine in our sole discretion from time to time by giving oral, confirmed in writing, or written notice to the exchange agent and by making a public announcement by press release to Businesswire prior to 9:00 a.m., New York City time, on the first business day following the scheduled expiration date. During any extension of the exchange offer, all Initial Notes previously tendered, not validly withdrawn and not accepted for exchange will remain subject to the exchange offer and may be accepted for exchange by us.
 
To the extent we are legally permitted to do so, we expressly reserve the absolute right, in our sole discretion, but are not required, to:
 
  •  waive any condition of the exchange offer; and
 
  •  amend any terms of the exchange offer.
 
Any waiver of any condition of or amendment to the exchange offer will apply to all Initial Notes tendered, regardless of when or in what order the Initial Notes were tendered. If we make a material change in the terms of the exchange offer or if we waive a material condition of the exchange offer, we will disseminate additional exchange offer materials, and we will extend, if necessary, the expiration date of the exchange offer such that at least five business days remain in the exchange offer following notice of the material change.
 
We expressly reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to terminate the exchange offer if any of the conditions set forth under “— Conditions of the Exchange Offer” exist. Any such termination will be followed promptly by a public announcement. In the event we terminate the exchange offer, we will give immediate notice to the exchange agent, and all Initial Notes previously tendered and not accepted for exchange will be returned promptly to the tendering holders.
 
In the event that the exchange offer is withdrawn or otherwise not completed, the Exchange Notes will not be given to holders of Initial Notes who have validly tendered their Initial Notes. We will return any Initial Notes that have been tendered for exchange but that are not exchanged to their holder without cost to the holder, or, in the case of the Initial Notes tendered by book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account at a book-entry transfer facility under the procedure set forth under “— Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes — Book-Entry Transfer,” such Initial Notes will be credited to the account maintained at such book-entry transfer facility from which such Initial Notes were delivered, unless otherwise requested by such holder under “— Special Delivery Instructions” in the letter of transmittal, promptly following the exchange date or the termination of the exchange offer.
 
Resale of the Exchange Notes
 
Based on interpretations of the SEC set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties, we believe that the Exchange Notes issued under the exchange offer in exchange for the Initial Notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by you without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, if:
 
  •  you are not an “affiliate” of ours within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act;
 
  •  you are acquiring the Exchange Notes in the ordinary course of business; and
 
  •  you do not intend to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Notes.
 
If you tender Initial Notes in the exchange offer with the intention of participating in any manner in a distribution of the Exchange Notes:
 
  •  you cannot rely on those interpretations of the SEC; and
 
  •  you must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction, and the secondary resale transaction must be covered.
 
Unless an exemption from registration is otherwise available, any security holder intending to distribute the Exchange Notes should be covered by an effective registration statement under the Securities Act containing the selling security holder’s information required by Item 507 of Regulation S-K. This prospectus may be used for an offer to resell, a resale or other re-transfer of the Exchange Notes only as specifically set


30


Table of Contents

forth in the section captioned “Plan of Distribution.” Only broker-dealers that acquired the Exchange Notes as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities may participate in the exchange offer. Each broker-dealer that receives the Exchange Notes for its own account in exchange for Initial Notes, where such Initial Notes were acquired by such broker-dealer as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the Exchange Notes. Please read the section captioned “Plan of Distribution” for more details regarding the transfer of the Exchange Notes.
 
Acceptance of Initial Notes for Exchange
 
We will accept for exchange Initial Notes validly tendered pursuant to the exchange offer, or defectively tendered, if such defect has been waived by us, after the later of:
 
  •  the expiration date of the exchange offer; and
 
  •  the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions specified below under “— Conditions of the Exchange Offer.”
 
Except as specified above, we will not accept Initial Notes for exchange subsequent to the expiration date of the exchange offer. Tenders of Initial Notes will be accepted only in aggregate principal amounts equal to $1,000 or integral multiples thereof.
 
We expressly reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to:
 
  •  delay acceptance for exchange of Initial Notes tendered under the exchange offer, subject to Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, which requires that an offeror pay the consideration offered or return the securities deposited by or on behalf of the holders promptly after the termination or withdrawal of a tender offer; or
 
  •  terminate the exchange offer and not accept for exchange any Initial Notes, if any of the conditions set forth below under “— Conditions of the Exchange Offer” have not been satisfied or waived by us or in order to comply in whole or in part with the securities laws or changes in any applicable law.
 
In all cases, the Exchange Notes will be issued only after receipt by the exchange agent prior to the expiration of the exchange offer of certificates representing Initial Notes, or confirmation of book-entry transfer, a letter of transmittal, properly completed and duly executed or a manually signed facsimile thereof, and any other required documents in accordance with instructions set forth under “The Exchange Offer — Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes” and the letter of transmittal provided with this prospectus. For purposes of the exchange offer, we will be deemed to have accepted for exchange validly tendered Initial Notes, or defectively tendered Initial Notes with respect to which we have waived such defect, if, as and when we give oral, confirmed in writing, or written notice to the exchange agent. Promptly after the expiration date, we will deposit the Exchange Notes with the exchange agent, who will act as agent for the tendering holders for the purpose of receiving the Exchange Notes and transmitting them to the holders. The exchange agent will deliver the Exchange Notes to holders of Initial Notes accepted for exchange after the exchange agent receives the Exchange Notes.
 
If we delay acceptance for exchange of validly tendered Initial Notes or we are unable to accept for exchange validly tendered Initial Notes, then the exchange agent may, nevertheless, on its behalf, retain tendered Initial Notes, without prejudice to our rights described in this prospectus under the captions “— Expiration Date; Extensions; Termination; Amendments,” “— Conditions of the Exchange Offer” and “— Withdrawal of Tenders,” subject to Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act, which requires that an offeror pay the consideration offered or return the securities deposited by or on behalf of the holders thereof promptly after the termination or withdrawal of a tender offer.
 
If any tendered Initial Notes are not accepted for exchange, or if certificates are submitted evidencing more Initial Notes than those that are tendered, certificates evidencing Initial Notes that are not exchanged will be returned, without expense, to the tendering holder, or, in the case of the Initial Notes tendered by book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account at a book-entry transfer facility under the procedure set forth under “— Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes — Book-Entry Transfer,” such Initial Notes will be


31

credited to the account maintained at such book-entry transfer facility from which such Initial Notes were delivered, unless otherwise requested by such holder under “— Special Delivery Instructions” in the letter of transmittal, promptly following the exchange date or the termination of the exchange offer.
 
Tendering holders of Initial Notes exchanged in the exchange offer will not be obligated to pay brokerage commissions or transfer taxes with respect to the exchange of their Initial Notes other than as described under the caption ‘‘— Transfer Taxes” or as set forth in the letter of transmittal. We will pay all other charges and expenses in connection with the exchange offer.
 
Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes
 
Any beneficial owner whose Initial Notes are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee or held through a book-entry transfer facility and who wishes to tender Initial Notes should contact such registered holder promptly and instruct such registered holder to tender Initial Notes on such beneficial owner’s behalf.
 
Tender of Initial Notes Held Through The Depository Trust Company
 
The exchange agent and The Depository Trust Company, or DTC, have confirmed that the exchange offer is eligible for the DTC automated tender offer program. Accordingly, DTC participants may electronically transmit their acceptance of the exchange offer by causing DTC to transfer Initial Notes to the exchange agent in accordance with DTC’s automated tender offer program procedures for transfer. DTC will then send an agent’s message to the exchange agent.
 
The term “agent’s message” means a message transmitted by DTC and received by the exchange agent that forms part of the book-entry confirmation. The agent’s message states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from the participant in DTC tendering Initial Notes that are the subject of that book-entry confirmation, that the participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the letter of transmittal, and that we may enforce such agreement against such participant. In the case of an agent’s message relating to guaranteed delivery, the term means a message transmitted by DTC and received by the exchange agent, which states that DTC has received an express acknowledgment from the participant in DTC tendering Initial Notes that they have received and agree to be bound by the notice of guaranteed delivery.
 
Tender of Initial Notes Held in Physical Form
 
For a holder to validly tender Initial Notes held in physical form:
 
  •  the exchange agent must receive at its address set forth in this prospectus a properly completed and validly executed letter of transmittal, or a manually signed facsimile thereof, together with any signature guarantees and any other documents required by the instructions to the letter of transmittal; and
 
  •  the exchange agent must receive certificates for tendered Initial Notes at such address, or such Initial Notes must be transferred pursuant to the procedures for book-entry transfer described above. A confirmation of such book-entry transfer must be received by the exchange agent prior to the expiration date of the exchange offer. A holder who desires to tender Initial Notes and who cannot comply with the procedures set forth herein for tender on a timely basis or whose Initial Notes are not immediately available must comply with the procedures for guaranteed delivery set forth below.
 
Letters of transmittal and Initial Notes should be sent only to the exchange agent, and not to us or to any book-entry transfer facility.
 
The method of delivery of Initial Notes, letters of transmittal and all other required documents to the exchange agent is at the election and risk of the holder tendering Initial Notes. Delivery of such documents will be deemed made only when actually received by the exchange agent. If such delivery is by mail, we suggest that the holder use properly insured, registered mail with return receipt requested, and that the mailing be made sufficiently in advance of the expiration date of the exchange offer to

permit delivery to the exchange agent prior to such date. No alternative, conditional or contingent tenders of Initial Notes will be accepted.
 
Signature Guarantees
 
A signature on a letter of transmittal or a notice of withdrawal must be guaranteed by an eligible institution. Eligible institutions include banks, brokers, dealers, municipal securities dealers, municipal securities brokers, government securities dealers, government securities brokers, credit unions, national securities exchanges, registered securities associations, clearing agencies and savings associations. The signature need not be guaranteed by an eligible institution if the Initial Notes are tendered:
 
  •  by a registered holder who has not completed the box entitled “Special Issuance Instructions” or “Special Delivery Instructions” on the letter of transmittal; or
 
  •  for the account of an eligible institution.
 
If the letter of transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered holder of any Initial Notes, the Initial Notes must be endorsed or accompanied by a properly completed bond power. The bond power must be signed by the registered holder as the registered holder’s name appears on the Initial Notes and an eligible institution must guarantee the signature on the bond power.
 
If the letter of transmittal or any Initial Notes or bond powers are signed by trustees, executors, administrators, guardians, attorneys-in-fact, officers of corporations or others acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, these persons should so indicate when signing. Unless we waive this requirement, they should also submit evidence satisfactory to us of their authority to deliver the letter of transmittal.
 
Book-Entry Transfer
 
The exchange agent will seek to establish a new account or utilize an existing account with respect to the Initial Notes at DTC promptly after the date of this prospectus. Any financial institution that is a participant in the book-entry transfer facility system and whose name appears on a security position listing it as the owner of the Initial Notes may make book-entry delivery of Initial Notes by causing the book-entry transfer facility to transfer such Initial Notes into the exchange agent’s account. However, although delivery of Initial Notes may be effected through book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account at a book-entry transfer facility, a letter of transmittal, properly completed and duly executed or a manually signed facsimile thereof, in accordance with instructions set forth under “— Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes” and the letter of transmittal provided with this prospectus, must be received by the exchange agent at its address set forth in this prospectus on or prior to the expiration date of the exchange offer, or else the guaranteed delivery procedures described below must be complied with. The confirmation of a book-entry transfer of Initial Notes into the exchange agent’s account at a book-entry transfer facility is referred to in this prospectus as a “book-entry confirmation.” Delivery of documents to the book-entry transfer facility in accordance with that book-entry transfer facility’s procedures does not constitute delivery to the exchange agent.
 
Guaranteed Delivery
 
If you wish to tender your Initial Notes and:
 
  •  certificates representing your Initial Notes are not lost but are not immediately available;
 
  •  time will not permit your letter of transmittal, certificates representing your Initial Notes and all other required documents to reach the exchange agent on or prior to the expiration date of the exchange offer; or
 
  •  the procedures for book-entry transfer cannot be completed on or prior to the expiration date of the exchange offer;


33


Table of Contents

 
You may tender your Initial Notes if:
 
  •  your tender is made by or through an eligible institution; and
 
  •  on or prior to the expiration date of the exchange offer, the exchange agent has received from the eligible institution a properly completed and validly executed notice of guaranteed delivery, by manually signed facsimile transmission, mail or hand delivery, in substantially the form provided with this prospectus:
 
  •  setting forth your name and address, the registered number(s) of your Initial Notes and the principal amount of the Initial Notes tendered;
 
  •  stating that the tender is being made by guaranteed delivery;
 
  •  guaranteeing that, within three NYSE trading days after the date of the notice of guaranteed delivery, the letter of transmittal or facsimile thereof, properly completed and duly executed in accordance with instructions set forth under “— Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes,” together with certificates representing the Initial Notes, or a book-entry confirmation, and any other documents required by the letter of transmittal and the instructions thereto, will be deposited by the eligible institution with the exchange agent; and
 
  •  the exchange agent receives the properly completed and validly executed letter of transmittal or facsimile thereof with any required signature guarantees, together with certificates for all Initial Notes in proper form for transfer, or a book-entry confirmation, and any other required documents, within three NYSE trading days after the date of the notice of guaranteed delivery.
 
Other Matters
 
Exchange Notes will be issued in exchange for Initial Notes accepted for exchange only after receipt by the exchange agent prior to expiration of the exchange offer of:
 
  •  certificates for, or a timely book-entry confirmation with respect to, your Initial Notes;
 
  •  a letter of transmittal properly completed and duly executed or facsimile thereof with any required signature guarantees, or, in the case of a book-entry transfer, an agent’s message; and
 
  •  any other documents required by the letter of transmittal; all the above in accordance with instructions set forth under “— Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes,” and the letter of transmittal provided with this prospectus.
 
We will decide all questions as to the form of all documents and the validity, including time of receipt, and acceptance of all tenders of Initial Notes, the determination of which shall be final and binding. Alternative, conditional or contingent tenders of Initial Notes will not be considered valid. We reserve the absolute right to reject any or all tenders of Initial Notes that are not in proper form or the acceptance of which, in our opinion, would be unlawful. We also reserve the right to waive any defects, irregularities or conditions of tender as to any particular Initial Notes.
 
Unless waived by us, any defect or irregularity in connection with tenders of Initial Notes must be cured within the time that we determine. Tenders of Initial Notes will not be deemed to have been made until all defects and irregularities have been waived by us or cured. Neither us, the exchange agent, nor any other person will be under any duty to give notice of any defects or irregularities in tenders of Initial Notes, or will incur any liability to holders for failure to give any such notice.
 
By signing or agreeing to be bound by the letter of transmittal, you will represent to us that, among other things:
 
  •  any Exchange Notes that you receive will be acquired in the ordinary course of your business;
 
  •  you have no arrangement or understanding with any person or entity to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Notes;


34


Table of Contents

 
  •  if you are not a broker-dealer, that you are not engaged in and do not intend to engage in the distribution of the Exchange Notes;
 
  •  if you are a broker-dealer that will receive the Exchange Notes for your own account in exchange for Initial Notes that were acquired as a result of market-making activities or other trading activities, that you will deliver a prospectus, as required by law, in connection with any resale of the Exchange Notes; and
 
  •  you are not an “affiliate” of ours, as defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act, or, if you are an affiliate, you will comply with any applicable registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.
 
Withdrawal of Tenders
 
Except as otherwise provided in this prospectus, you may withdraw your tender of Initial Notes at any time prior to the expiration date of the exchange offer.
 
For a withdrawal to be effective:
 
  •  the exchange agent must receive a written notice of withdrawal at the address set forth below under “— Exchange Agent”; or
 
  •  you must comply with the appropriate procedures of DTC’s automated tender offer program system.
 
Any notice of withdrawal must:
 
  •  specify the name of the person who tendered the Initial Notes to be withdrawn; and
 
  •  identify the Initial Notes to be withdrawn, including the principal amount of the Initial Notes to be withdrawn.
 
If certificates for the Initial Notes have been delivered or otherwise identified to the exchange agent, then, prior to the release of those certificates, the withdrawing holder must also submit:
 
  •  the serial numbers of the particular certificates to be withdrawn; and
 
  •  a signed notice of withdrawal with signatures guaranteed by an eligible institution, unless the withdrawing holder is an eligible institution.
 
If the Initial Notes have been tendered pursuant to the procedure for book-entry transfer described above, any notice of withdrawal must specify the name and number of the account at DTC to be credited with the withdrawn Initial Notes and otherwise comply with the procedures of DTC.
 
We will determine all questions as to the validity, form and eligibility, including time of receipt, of notices of withdrawal, and our determination shall be final and binding on all parties. We will deem any Initial Notes so withdrawn not to have been validly tendered for exchange for purposes of the exchange offer.
 
We will return any Initial Notes that have been tendered for exchange but that are not exchanged to their holder without cost to the holder. In the case of Initial Notes tendered by book-entry transfer into the exchange agent’s account at DTC, according to the procedures described above, those Initial Notes will be credited to an account maintained with DTC for the Initial Notes. This return or crediting will take place promptly after withdrawal, rejection of tender or termination of the exchange offer. You may re-tender properly withdrawn Initial Notes by following one of the procedures described under “— Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes” at any time on or prior to the expiration date of the exchange offer.

Conditions to the Exchange Offer
 
Despite any other term of the exchange offer, we will not be required to accept for exchange any Initial Notes and we may terminate or amend the exchange offer as provided in this prospectus before the expiration of the exchange offer if in our reasonable judgment:
 
  •  the Exchange Notes to be received will not be tradable by the holder without restriction under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and without material restrictions under the blue sky or securities laws of substantially all of the states of the United States;
 
  •  the exchange offer, or the making of any exchange by a holder of Initial Notes, would violate applicable law or any applicable interpretation of the staff of the SEC; or
 
  •  any action or proceeding has been instituted or threatened in any court or by or before any governmental agency with respect to the exchange offer that would reasonably be expected to impair our ability to proceed with the exchange offer.
 
We will not be obligated to accept for exchange the Initial Notes of any holder that has not made to us:
 
  •  the representations described under the captions “— Procedures for Tendering Initial Notes” and “Plan of Distribution;” and
 
  •  any other representations that may be reasonably necessary under applicable SEC rules, regulations or interpretations to make available to us an appropriate form for registration of the Exchange Notes under the Securities Act.
 
We expressly reserve the right, at any time or at various times, to extend the period of time during which the exchange offer is open. Consequently, we may delay acceptance of any Initial Notes, subject to Rule 14e-1(c) under the Exchange Act, by giving oral or written notice of an extension to their holders. During an extension, all Initial Notes previously tendered will remain subject to the exchange offer, and we may accept them for exchange. We will return any Initial Notes that we do not accept for exchange without expense to their tendering holder promptly after the expiration or termination of the exchange offer.
 
We expressly reserve the right to amend or terminate the exchange offer and to reject for exchange any Initial Notes not previously accepted for exchange, upon the occurrence of any of the conditions of the exchange offer specified above. By public announcement we will give oral or written notice of any extension, amendment, non-acceptance or termination to the holders of the Initial Notes in accordance with the requirements of Rule 14e-1(d) of the Exchange Act. If we amend the exchange offer in a manner that we consider material, we will disclose the amendment in the manner required by applicable law. In the event of a material change in the exchange offer, including the waiver of a material condition, we will extend, if necessary, the expiration date of the exchange offer such that at least five business days remain in the exchange offer following notice of the material change.
 
We may assert these conditions regardless of the circumstances that may give rise to them or waive them in whole or in part at any time or at various times in our sole discretion. If we fail at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights, this failure will not constitute a waiver of that right. Each of these rights will be deemed an ongoing right that we may assert at any time or at various times.
 
We will not accept for exchange any Initial Notes tendered, and will not issue the Exchange Notes in exchange for any Initial Notes, if at any time a stop order is threatened or in effect with respect to the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part or the qualification of the indenture under the Trust Indenture Act of 1939.

Transfer Taxes
 
We will pay all transfer taxes, if any, applicable to the transfer and exchange of Initial Notes pursuant to the exchange offer. The tendering holder, however, will be required to pay any transfer taxes, whether imposed on the record holder or any other person, if:
 
  •  delivery of the Exchange Notes, or certificates for Initial Notes for principal amounts not exchanged, are to be made to any person other than the record holder of the Initial Notes tendered;
 
  •  tendered certificates for Initial Notes are recorded in the name of any person other than the person signing any letter of transmittal; or
 
  •  a transfer tax is imposed for any reason other than the transfer and exchange of Initial Notes under the exchange offer.
 
Consequences of Failure to Exchange
 
If you do not exchange your Initial Notes for the Exchange Notes in the exchange offer, you will remain subject to restrictions on transfer of the Initial Notes:
 
  •  as set forth in the legend printed on the Initial Notes as a consequence of the issuance of the Initial Notes pursuant to the exemptions from, or in transactions not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws; and
 
  •  as otherwise set forth in the prospectus distributed in connection with the private offering of each of the Initial Notes.
 
In general, you may not offer or sell the Initial Notes unless they are registered under the Securities Act or if the offer or sale is exempt from registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. Except as required by the registration rights agreements relating to the Initial Notes, we do not intend to register resales of the Initial Notes under the Securities Act. Based on interpretations of the SEC, you may offer for resale, resell or otherwise transfer the Exchange Notes issued in the exchange offer without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided that:
 
  •  you are not an “affiliate” within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act;
 
  •  you acquired the Exchange Notes in the ordinary course of your business; and
 
  •  you have no arrangement or understanding with respect to the distribution of the Exchange Notes to be acquired in the exchange offer.
 
If you tender Initial Notes in the exchange offer for the purpose of participating in a distribution of the Exchange Notes:
 
  •  you cannot rely on the applicable interpretations of the SEC; and
 
  •  you must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction and that such a secondary resale transaction must be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling security holder information required by Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.

(1) The senior secured credit facility consists of a $150.0 million revolving credit facility that expires on October 5, 2012 and a $1,120.0 million term loan that matures on October 5, 2013. The average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the existing senior secured credit facility at September 30, 2009 was 3.1% per annum. As of September 30, 2009, on an actual basis $121.5 million was available to us under our senior secured credit facility, subject to compliance with the terms thereof. The availability of our revolving credit facility may have recently been impacted by the insolvency of one of the lenders under the senior secured credit facility. As such, it is uncertain whether we could borrow the portion that would be funded by this insolvent lender, which is approximately $28.5 million.
 
(2) Represents the aggregate principal amount of the senior notes issued on June 29, 2009 before the original issue discount, which was $11.3 million as of September 30, 2009.
 
(3) Consists of $0.2 million of our 9% Senior Subordinated Notes, $0.9 million of borrowings of Cinemark Chile S.A. and $0.4 million of other long-term debt of other foreign subsidiaries.
 
(4) Total capitalization on a pro forma basis would be substantially the same as actual since the 8.625% senior notes were issued on June 29, 2009 and are therefore reflected on an actual basis as of September 30, 2009.

SELECTED HISTORICAL CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL AND OPERATING DATA
 
The following table provides our selected historical consolidated financial and operating data. On August 2, 2006, Cinemark Holdings was formed as the Delaware holding company of Cinemark, Inc. On August 7, 2006, the Cinemark, Inc. stockholders entered into the Cinemark Share Exchange. The Cinemark Share Exchange was completed on October 5, 2006 and facilitated the Century Acquisition. On October 5, 2006, Cinemark, Inc. became a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cinemark Holdings. Cinemark is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cinemark, Inc.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 
The following discussion and analysis presents a review of us and our subsidiaries and should be read in conjunction with “Summary — Summary Historical Consolidated Financial Information”, “Selected Historical Consolidated Financial and Operating Data” and the financial statements and accompanying notes included in this prospectus. This discussion contains forward-looking statements. See “Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” for a discussion of the uncertainties and risks associated with these statements.
 
Overview
 
On August 2, 2006, Cinemark Holdings was formed as the Delaware holding company of Cinemark, Inc. On August 7, 2006, the Cinemark, Inc. stockholders entered into the Cinemark Share Exchange. The Cinemark Share Exchange was completed on October 5, 2006 and facilitated the acquisition of Century. On October 5, 2006, following the completion of the Cinemark Share Exchange, Cinemark, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of Cinemark Holdings. The Company is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cinemark, Inc.
 
Due to a change in reporting entity that occurred as a result of the Cinemark Share Exchange, Cinemark Holdings’s accounting basis has been pushed down to the Company effective on the date of the Cinemark Share Exchange, October 5, 2006. The results of the Company’s operations and cash flows for the periods preceding the Cinemark Share Exchange are presented as Predecessor and the periods subsequent to the Cinemark Share Exchange are presented as Successor. See Note 4 to the audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.
 
As of September 30, 2009, we managed our business under two operating segments — U.S. markets and international markets, in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 280, Segment Reporting.
 
Revenues and Expenses
 
We generate revenues primarily from box office receipts and concession sales with additional revenues from screen advertising sales and other revenue streams, such as vendor marketing programs, pay phones, ATM machines and electronic video games located in some of our theatres. Our investment in NCM has assisted us in expanding our offerings to advertisers, exploring ancillary revenue sources such as digital video monitor advertising, third party branding, and the use of theatres for non-film events. In addition, we are able to use theatres during non-peak hours for concerts, sporting events, and other cultural events. Films released during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 included Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Disney Pixar’s Up, Star Trek, The Hangover, Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian, Monsters vs. Aliens, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Taken, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs, The Proposal, and Fast & Furious. Film releases scheduled for the remainder of 2009 include Twilight 2: New Moon, Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakuel, Paranormal Activity, Where the Wild Things Are, 2012, Old Dogs, Sherlock Holmes, The Lovely Bones, The Princess and the Frog, and 3-D movies such as Avatar and A Christmas Carol. Our revenues are affected by changes in attendance and average admissions and concession revenues per patron. Attendance is primarily affected by the quality and quantity of films released by motion picture studios.
 
Film rental costs are variable in nature and fluctuate with our admissions revenues. Film rental costs as a percentage of revenues are generally higher for periods in which more blockbuster films are released. Film rental costs can also vary based on the length of a film’s run. Film rental rates are negotiated on a film-by-film and theatre-by-theatre basis. Advertising costs, which are expensed as incurred, are primarily fixed at the theatre level as daily movie directories placed in newspapers represent the largest component of advertising costs. The monthly cost of these advertisements is based on, among other things, the size of the directory and the frequency and size of the newspaper’s circulation.

Concession supplies expense is variable in nature and fluctuates with our concession revenues. We purchase concession supplies to replace units sold. We negotiate prices for concession supplies directly with concession vendors and manufacturers to obtain bulk rates.
 
Although salaries and wages include a fixed cost component (i.e. the minimum staffing costs to operate a theatre facility during non-peak periods), salaries and wages move in relation to revenues as theatre staffing is adjusted to address changes in attendance.
 
Facility lease expense is primarily a fixed cost at the theatre level as most of our facility leases require a fixed monthly minimum rent payment. Certain of our leases are subject to percentage rent only while others are subject to percentage rent in addition to their fixed monthly rent if a target annual revenue level is achieved. Facility lease expense as a percentage of revenues is also affected by the number of theatres under operating leases versus the number of theatres under capital leases and the number of fee-owned theatres.
 
Utilities and other costs include certain costs that possess both fixed and variable components such as utilities, property taxes, janitorial costs, repairs and maintenance and security services.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP. As such, we are required to make certain estimates and assumptions that we believe are reasonable based upon the information available. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. The significant accounting policies, which we believe are the most critical to aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported consolidated financial results, include the following:
 
Revenue and Expense Recognition
 
Revenues are recognized when admissions and concession sales are received at the box office. Other revenues primarily consist of screen advertising. Screen advertising revenues are recognized over the period that the related advertising is delivered on-screen or in-theatre. We record proceeds from the sale of gift cards and other advanced sale-type certificates in current liabilities and recognize admissions and concession revenue when a holder redeems the card or certificate. We recognize unredeemed gift cards and other advanced sale-type certificates as revenue only after such a period of time indicates, based on historical experience, the likelihood of redemption is remote, and based on applicable laws and regulations. In evaluating the likelihood of redemption, we consider the period outstanding, the level and frequency of activity, and the period of inactivity.
 
Film rental costs are accrued based on the applicable box office receipts and either the mutually agreed upon firm terms or a sliding scale formula, which are established prior to the opening of the film, or estimates of the final mutually agreed upon settlement, which occurs at the conclusion of the film run, subject to the film licensing arrangement. Under a firm terms formula, we pay the distributor a mutually agreed upon specified percentage of box office receipts, which reflects either a mutually agreed upon aggregate rate for the life of the film or rates that decline over the term of the run. Under the sliding scale formula, film rental is paid as a percentage of box office revenues using a pre-determined matrix based upon box office performance of the film. The settlement process allows for negotiation of film rental fees upon the conclusion of the film run based upon how the film performs. Estimates are based on the expected success of a film over the length of its run in theatres. The success of a film can typically be determined a few weeks after a film is released when initial box office performance of the film is known. Accordingly, final settlements typically approximate estimates since box office receipts are known at the time the estimate is made and the expected success of a film over the length of its run in theatres can typically be estimated early in the film’s run. The final film settlement amount is negotiated at the conclusion of the film’s run based upon how a film actually performs. If actual settlements are different than those estimated, film rental costs are adjusted at that time. We recognize advertising costs and any cost sharing arrangements with film distributors in the same accounting period. Our advertising costs are expensed as incurred.

Table of Contents

Facility lease expense is primarily a fixed cost at the theatre level as most of our facility leases require a fixed monthly minimum rent payment. Certain of our leases are subject to monthly percentage rent only, which is accrued each month based on actual revenues. Certain of our other theatres require payment of percentage rent in addition to fixed monthly rent if a target annual revenue level is achieved. Percentage rent expense is recorded for these theatres on a monthly basis if the theatre’s historical performance or forecasted performance indicates that the annual target will be reached. The estimate of percentage rent expense recorded during the year is based on a trailing twelve months of revenues. Once annual revenues are known, which is generally at the end of the year, the percentage rent expense is adjusted based on actual revenues. Theatre properties and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives. In estimating the useful lives of our theatre properties and equipment, we have relied upon our experience with such assets and our historical replacement period. We periodically evaluate these estimates and assumptions and adjust them as necessary. Adjustments to the expected lives of assets are accounted for on a prospective basis through depreciation expense.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
We review long-lived assets for impairment indicators on a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable. We assess many factors including the following to determine whether to impair individual theatre assets:
 
  •  actual theatre level cash flows;
 
  •  future years budgeted theatre level cash flows;
 
  •  theatre property and equipment carrying values;
 
  •  amortizing intangible asset carrying values;
 
  •  the age of a recently built theatre;
 
  •  competitive theatres in the marketplace;
 
  •  changes in foreign currency exchange rates;
 
  •  the impact of recent ticket price changes;
 
  •  available lease renewal options; and
 
  •  other factors considered relevant in our assessment of impairment of individual theatre assets.
 
Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment on an individual theatre basis, which we believe is the lowest applicable level for which there are identifiable cash flows. The impairment evaluation is based on the estimated undiscounted cash flows from continuing use through the remainder of the theatre’s useful life. The remainder of the useful life correlates with the available remaining lease period, which includes the probability of renewal periods for leased properties and a period of twenty years for fee owned properties. If the estimated undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover a long-lived asset’s carrying value, we then compare the carrying value of the asset group (theatre) with its estimated fair value. Significant judgment is involved in estimating cash flows and fair value. Management’s estimates are based on historical and projected operating performance, recent market transactions, and current industry trading multiples. Fair value is determined based on a multiple of cash flows, which was eight times for the evaluations performed during 2006, 2007 and the first, second and third quarters of 2008 and six and a half times for the evaluation performed during the fourth quarter of 2008 and the evaluations performed during 2009. We reduced the multiple we used to determine fair value during the fourth quarter of 2008 due to the dramatic decline in estimated market values that resulted from significant decreases in stock prices and market capitalizations that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2008. When estimated fair value is determined to be lower than the carrying value of the asset group (theatre), the asset group (theatre) is written down to its estimated fair value.

Impairment of Goodwill and Intangible Assets
 
We evaluate goodwill for impairment annually during the fourth quarter or whenever events or circumstances indicate the carrying value of the goodwill might exceed its estimated fair value. We evaluate goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level and have allocated goodwill to the reporting unit based on an estimate of its relative fair value. The evaluation is a two-step approach requiring us to compute the fair value of a reporting unit and compare it with its carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a second step is performed to measure the potential goodwill impairment. Significant judgment is involved in estimating cash flows and fair value. Management’s estimates are based on historical and projected operating performance, recent market transactions, and current industry trading multiples. Fair value is determined based on a multiple of cash flows, which was eight times for the goodwill impairment evaluations performed during 2006 and 2007 and six and a half times for the evaluation performed during 2008. We reduced the multiple we used to determine fair value during the fourth quarter of 2008 due to the dramatic decline in estimated market values that resulted from significant decreases in stock prices and market capitalizations that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2008. Prior to January 1, 2008, we considered our theatres reporting units for purposes of evaluating goodwill for impairment. Recent changes in the organization, including changes in the structure of the executive management team, the initial public offering of common stock of Cinemark Holdings, the resulting changes in the level at which the management team evaluates the business on a regular basis, and the Century Acquisition that increased the size of the theatre base by approximately 25%, led management to conclude that our U.S. regions and international countries are now more reflective of how we manage and operate our business. Accordingly, the U.S. regions and international countries represent the appropriate reporting units for purposes of evaluating goodwill for impairment. Consequently, effective January 1, 2008, management changed the reporting unit to sixteen regions in the U.S. and each of eight countries internationally (Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Guatemala are considered one reporting unit) from approximately four hundred theatres. The goodwill impairment test performed during December 2007 that resulted in the recording of impairment charges during the year ended December 31, 2007 reflected the final calculation utilizing theatres as reporting units. The goodwill impairment charges taken during the year ended December 31, 2008 were related to four U.S. regions, one of which was fully impaired and three of which were partially impaired down to estimated fair value. The carrying value of goodwill for these four reporting units was approximately $232 million as of December 31, 2008, after considering the goodwill impairment charges. The carrying value of goodwill allocated to reporting units that were not impaired during the year ended December 31, 2008 where the estimated fair value was less than 10% more than the carrying value was approximately $277 million as of December 31, 2008. Declines in Cinemark Holdings’s stock price or market capitalization, declines in the Company’s attendance due to increased competition in certain regions and/or countries or economic factors that lead to a decline in attendance in any given region or country could negatively affect the Company’s estimated fair values and could result in further impairments of goodwill.
 
Tradename intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. We estimate the fair value of our tradenames by applying an estimated market royalty rate that could be charged for the use of our tradename to forecasted future revenues, with an adjustment for the present value of such royalties. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value, the tradename intangible asset is written down to the estimated fair value.
 
Acquisitions
 
Effective January 1, 2009, we account for acquisitions under the acquisition method of accounting in accordance with SFAS No. 141(R), “Business Combinations.” The acquisition method requires that the acquired assets and liabilities, including contingencies, be recorded at fair value determined on the acquisition date and changes thereafter reflected in income. For significant acquisitions, we obtain independent third party valuation studies for certain of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed to assist us in determining fair value. The estimation of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed involves a number of estimates and assumptions that could differ materially from the actual amounts recorded. We provide the assumptions,

Table of Contents

including both quantitative and qualitative information, about the specified asset or liability to the third party valuation firms. We primarily utilize the third parties to accumulate comparative data from multiple sources and assemble a report that summarizes the information obtained. We then use that information to determine fair value. The third party valuation firms are supervised by our personnel who are knowledgeable about valuations and fair value. We evaluate the appropriateness of the valuation methodology utilized by the third party valuation firm.
 
Income Taxes
 
We participate in the consolidated tax return of Cinemark Holdings. However, our provision for income taxes is computed as if we file separate income tax returns. We use an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided when tax laws and financial accounting standards differ with respect to the amount of income for a year and the basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amount of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized. Income taxes are provided on unremitted earnings from foreign subsidiaries unless such earnings are expected to be indefinitely reinvested. Income taxes have also been provided for potential tax assessments. The related tax accruals are recorded in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of SFAS No. 109” (FIN 48), which we adopted on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 clarifies the accounting and reporting for income taxes recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes,” and the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. The evaluation of a tax position in accordance with FIN 48 is a two-step process. The first step is recognition: We determine whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. In evaluating whether a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, we should presume that the position would be examined by the appropriate taxing authority that would have full knowledge of all relevant information. The second step is measurement: A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements result in (1) a change in a liability for income taxes payable or (2) a change in an income tax refund receivable, a deferred tax asset or a deferred tax liability or both (1) and (2). We accrue for interest and penalties on our FIN 48 tax provisions.

  •  Consolidated.  The increase in admissions revenues of $76.6 million was primarily attributable to a 9.1% increase in attendance, partially offset by a 0.4% decrease in average ticket price from $5.38 for the 2008 period to $5.36 for the 2009 period. The increase in concession revenues of $32.2 million was primarily attributable to the 9.1% increase in attendance, partially offset by a 1.2% decrease in concession revenues per patron from $2.55 for the 2008 period to $2.52 for the 2009 period. The decreases in average ticket price and concession revenues per patron were primarily due to the unfavorable impact of exchange rates in certain countries in which we operate. The 5.4% decrease in other revenues was primarily due to decreases in ancillary revenue and the unfavorable impact of exchange rates in certain countries in which we operate.
 
  •  U.S.  The increase in admissions revenues of $76.1 million was primarily attributable to an 8.9% increase in attendance and a 2.3% increase in average ticket price from $5.99 for the 2008 period to $6.13 for the 2009 period. The increase in concession revenues of $33.5 million was primarily attributable to the 8.9% increase in attendance and a 1.4% increase in concession revenues per patron from $2.88 for the 2008 period to $2.92 for the 2009 period. The increase in average ticket price was primarily due to incremental 3-D pricing and other price increases and the increase in concession revenues per patron was primarily due to price increases.
 
  •  International.  The increase in admissions revenues of $0.5 million was primarily attributable to a 9.7% increase in attendance, partially offset by an 8.6% decrease in average ticket price from $3.96 for the 2008 period to $3.62 for the 2009 period. The decrease in concession revenues of $1.3 million was primarily attributable to a 10.2% decrease in concession revenues per patron from $1.77 for the 2008 period to $1.59 for the 2009 period, partially offset by the 9.7% increase in attendance. The decreases in average ticket price and concession revenues per patron were primarily due to the unfavorable impact of exchange rates in certain countries in which we operate. The 15.4% decrease in other revenues was primarily due to decreases in ancillary revenue and the unfavorable impact of exchange rates in certain countries in which we operate.

  •  Consolidated.  Film rentals and advertising costs were $513.9 million, or 54.6% of admissions revenues, for the 2009 period compared to $471.2 million, or 54.5% of admissions revenues, for the 2008 period. The increase in film rentals and advertising costs of $42.7 million is primarily due to a $76.6 million increase in admissions revenues. Concession supplies expense was $67.2 million, or 15.2% of concession revenues, for the 2009 period, compared to $66.4 million, or 16.2% of concession revenues, for the 2008 period. The decrease in the concession supplies rate is primarily related to the benefit of our new U.S. beverage agreement that was effective at the beginning of 2009.
 
Salaries and wages increased to $149.1 million for the 2009 period from $135.3 million for the 2008 period primarily due to increased staffing levels to support the 9.1% increase in attendance, increased minimum wage rates and new theatre openings. Facility lease expense increased to $176.5 million for the 2009 period from $171.4 million for the 2008 period primarily due to new theatres and increased percentage rent. Utilities and other costs increased to $164.3 million for the 2009 period from $155.9 million for the 2008 period primarily due to new theatres, increased repairs and maintenance expense and increased 3-D equipment rental fees.
 
  •  U.S.  Film rentals and advertising costs were $416.2 million, or 55.6% of admissions revenues, for the 2009 period compared to $357.7 million, or 55.9% of admissions revenues, for the 2008 period. The increase in film rentals and advertising costs of $40.5 million is due primarily to a $76.1 million increase in admissions revenues. Concession supplies expense was $45.4 million, or 12.7% of concession revenues, for the 2009 period, compared to $44.4 million, or 13.7% of concession revenues, for the 2008 period. The decrease in the concession supplies rate is primarily related to the benefit of our new U.S. beverage agreement that was effective at the beginning of 2009.
 
Salaries and wages increased to $124.4 million for the 2009 period from $111.0 million for the 2008 period primarily due to increased staffing levels to support the 8.9% increase in attendance, increased minimum wage rates and new theatre openings. Facility lease expense increased to $132.9 million for the 2009 period from $124.9 million for the 2008 period primarily due to new theatres and increased percentage rent. Utilities and other costs increased to $122.7 million for the 2009 period from $113.5 million for the 2008 period primarily due to new theatres, increased repairs and maintenance expense and increased 3-D equipment rental fees.
 
  •  International.  Film rentals and advertising costs were $97.7 million, or 50.5% of admissions revenues, for the 2009 period compared to $95.5 million, or 49.5% of admissions revenues, for the 2008 period. The increase in our film rental and advertising rate was primarily due to higher film rental rates associated with the solid slate of films released during the 2009 period. Concession supplies expense was $21.8 million, or 25.7% of concession revenues, for the 2009 period compared to $22.0 million, or 25.5% of concession revenues, for the 2008 period.
 
Salaries and wages increased to $24.7 million for the 2009 period from $24.3 million for the 2008 period primarily due to new theatres. Facility lease expense decreased to $43.6 million for the 2009 period from

$46.5 million for the 2008 period primarily due to the impact of exchange rates in certain countries in which we operate. Utilities and other costs decreased to $41.6 million for the 2009 period from $42.4 million for the 2008 period primarily due to the impact of exchange rates in certain countries in which we operate.
 
General and Administrative Expenses.  General and administrative expenses increased to $67.8 million for the 2009 period from $66.9 million for the 2008 period. The increase was primarily due to increased compensation expense and increased service charges related to increased credit card activity partially offset by decreased legal and professional fees.
 
Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization expense, including amortization of favorable/unfavorable leases, was $112.8 million for the 2009 period compared to $115.5 million for the 2008 period. The decrease was due to the impact of exchange rates in certain countries in which we operate.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.  We recorded asset impairment charges on assets held and used of $8.1 million for the 2009 period, impacting fifteen of our twenty four reporting units, compared to $8.1 million for the 2008 period, impacting nineteen of our twenty four reporting units. Impairment charges for the 2009 and 2008 periods were primarily for U.S. theatre properties, which were directly and individually impacted by increased competition or adverse changes in market demographics.
 
Loss on Sale of Assets and Other.  We recorded a loss on sale of assets and other of $2.4 million during the 2009 period compared to $3.2 million during the 2008 period.
 
Interest Expense.  Interest costs incurred, including amortization of debt issue costs, were $56.1 million for the 2009 period compared to $58.4 million for the 2008 period. The decrease was primarily due to decreases in interest rates on our variable rate debt.
 
Interest Income.  We recorded interest income of $3.6 million during the 2009 period compared to $8.7 million during the 2008 period. The decrease in interest income was primarily due to lower interest rates earned on our cash investments.
 
Distributions from NCM.  We recorded distributions from NCM of $15.8 million during the 2009 period and $12.2 million during the 2008 period, which were in excess of the carrying value of our investment. See Note 6 to our condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
Income Taxes.  Income tax expense of $48.9 million was recorded for the 2009 period compared to $36.9 million for the 2008 period. The effective tax rate was 34.7% for the 2009 period compared to 36.5% for the 2008 period. Income tax expense for the 2009 period includes the impact of two discrete items, including an adjustment to our deferred tax liability and an increase to our foreign unrecognized tax benefits. The net impact of the two items on income tax expense for the 2009 period was a benefit of approximately $4.9 million. Neither item resulted in a current year payment of income taxes. Income tax provisions for interim (quarterly) periods are based on estimated annual income tax rates and are adjusted for the effects of significant, infrequent or unusual items (i.e. discrete items) occurring during the interim period. As a result, the interim rate may vary significantly from the normalized annual rate.

  •  Consolidated.  The increase in admissions revenues of $39.5 million was attributable to a 4.3% increase in average ticket price from $5.11 for 2007 to $5.33 for 2008, partially offset by a 0.7% decline in attendance. The increase in concession revenues of $18.3 million was attributable to a 4.1% increase in concession revenues per patron from $2.43 for 2007 to $2.53 for 2008, partially offset by the decline in attendance. The increases in average ticket price and concession revenues per patron were due to price increases and favorable exchange rates during most of the year in certain countries in which we operate. The 2.2% increase in other revenues was primarily attributable to increased screen advertising and other ancillary revenues in certain of our international locations and the favorable impact of exchange rates during most of the year in certain countries in which we operate.
 
  •  U.S.  The increase in admissions revenues of $10.0 million was attributable to a 3.8% increase in average ticket price from $5.79 for 2007 to $6.01 for 2008, partially offset by a 2.5% decrease in attendance. The increase in concession revenues of $2.1 million was attributable to a 2.9% increase in concession revenues per patron from $2.80 for 2007 to $2.88 for 2008, partially offset by the decline in attendance. The increases in average ticket price and concession revenues per patron were due to price increases. The 10.3% decrease in other revenues was primarily attributable to reduced screen advertising revenues earned under the exhibitor services agreement with NCM. See Note 6 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.
 
  •  International.  The increase in admissions revenues of $29.5 million was attributable to a 9.6% increase in average ticket price from $3.42 for 2007 to $3.75 for 2008 and a 3.9% increase in attendance. The increase in concession revenues of $16.2 million was attributable to a 13.2% increase in concession revenues per patron from $1.51 for 2007 to $1.71 for 2008 and the increase in attendance. The increases in average ticket price and concession revenues per patron were due to price increases and favorable exchange rates during most of the year in certain countries in which we operate. The 19.3% increase in other revenues was primarily due to increased screen advertising and other ancillary revenues and the favorable impact of exchange rates during most of the year in certain countries in which we operate.

  •  Consolidated.  Film rentals and advertising costs were $612.2 million, or 54.3% of admissions revenues, for 2008 compared to $589.7 million, or 54.2% of admissions revenues, for 2007. The increase in film rentals and advertising costs for 2008 of $22.5 million was primarily due to a $39.5 million increase in admissions revenues. Concession supplies expense was $86.6 million, or 16.2% of concession revenues, for 2008 compared to $81.1 million, or 15.7% of concession revenues, for 2007. The increase in concession supplies expense of $5.5 million was primarily due to an $18.3 million increase in concession revenues and an increase in the concession supplies rate. The increased rate was primarily due to the relative increase in concession revenues from our international operations and increases in product costs from some of our international concession suppliers.
 
Salaries and wages increased to $181.0 million for 2008 from $173.3 million for 2007, facility lease expense increased to $225.6 million for 2008 from $212.7 million for 2007 and utilities and other costs increased to $205.8 million for 2008 from $191.3 million for 2007, all of which increased primarily due to increased revenues, new theatre openings and the impact of exchange rates in certain countries in which we operate.
 
  •  U.S.  Film rentals and advertising costs were $494.6 million, or 55.6% of admissions revenues, for 2008 compared to $485.2 million, or 55.2% of admissions revenues, for 2007. The increase in film rentals and advertising costs for 2008 of $9.4 million was primarily due to the increase in admissions revenues and higher film rentals and advertising rates. Concession supplies expense was $58.5 million, or 13.7% of concession revenues, for 2008 compared to $57.8 million, or 13.6% of concession revenues, for 2007.

Concession supplies expense was $28.1 million, or 25.9% of concession revenues, for 2008 compared to $23.3 million, or 25.3% of concession revenues, for 2007.

General and Administrative Expenses.  General and administrative expenses increased to $89.6 million for 2008 from $78.7 million for 2007. The increase was primarily due to increased incentive compensation expense of $4.4 million, increased share based award compensation expense of $1.8 million, increased service charges of $1.7 million related to increased credit card activity, increased professional fees of $0.5 million, including audit fees related to Sarbanes-Oxley, or SOX, compliance, and increased legal fees of $2.2 million.
 
Termination of Profit Participation Agreement.  Upon consummation of Cinemark Holdings’s initial public offering on April 24, 2007, we exercised our option to terminate the amended and restated profit participation agreement with our CEO Alan Stock and purchased Mr. Stock’s profit interest in two theatres during May 2007 for $6.9 million pursuant to the terms of the amended and restated profit participation agreement. In addition, we incurred $0.1 million of payroll taxes related to the termination. See Note 23 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.
 
Depreciation and Amortization.  Depreciation and amortization expense, including amortization of favorable leases, was $158.0 million for 2008 compared to $151.7 million for 2007 primarily due to new theatre openings.
 
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets.  We recorded asset impairment charges on assets held and used of $113.5 million for 2008 compared to $86.6 million for 2007. Impairment charges for 2008 consisted of $34.6 million of theatre properties, $78.6 million of goodwill associated with theatre properties, and $0.3 million of intangible assets associated with theatre properties, impacting twenty of our twenty-four reporting units. Impairment charges for 2007 consisted of $14.2 million of theatre properties, $67.7 million of goodwill associated with theatre properties, and $4.7 million of intangible assets associated with theatre properties, impacting twenty of our twenty four reporting units. The long-lived asset impairment charges recorded during each of the periods presented were specific to theatres that were directly and individually impacted by increased competition, adverse changes in market demographics, or adverse changes in the development or the conditions of the areas surrounding the theatre. The goodwill impairment charges taken during the year ended December 31, 2008 were primarily a result of our determination that the multiple used to estimate the fair value of our reporting units should be reduced to reflect the dramatic decline in the market value of Cinemark Holdings’s stock price and the declines in the market capitalizations of Cinemark Holdings and our competitors that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2008. We reduced the multiple from eight times cash flows to six and a half times cash flows, which significantly reduced our estimated fair values. The goodwill impairment charges taken during the year ended December 31, 2007 were primarily a result of the modification of the Company’s Exhibitor Services Agreement with NCM, which significantly reduced the contractual amounts paid to the Company (see Note 6 to our audited consolidated financial statements). See Notes 10 and 11 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.
 
(Gain) Loss on Sale of Assets and Other.  We recorded a loss on sale of assets and other of $8.5 million during 2008 compared to a gain on sale of assets and other of $3.0 million during 2007. The loss recorded during 2008 was primarily related to the write-off of theatre equipment that was replaced, the write-off of prepaid rent for an international theatre, and damages to certain of our theatres in Texas related to Hurricane Ike. The gain recorded during 2007 primarily related to the sale of real property associated with one theatre in the U.S.
 
Interest Expense.  Interest costs incurred, including amortization of debt issue costs, was $74.4 million for 2008 compared to $102.8 million for 2007. The decrease was primarily due to the repurchase of substantially all of our outstanding 9% senior subordinated notes that occurred during March and April 2007 and a reduction in the variable interest rates on a portion of our long-term debt. In addition, during the 2008 period, we recorded a gain of approximately $5.4 million as a component of interest expense related to the change in fair value of one of our interest rate swap agreements that was deemed not highly effective. See Note 14 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for further discussion of our interest rate swap agreements.
 
Gain on NCM Transaction.  During 2007, we recorded a gain of $210.8 million on the sale of a portion of our equity investment in NCM in conjunction with the initial public offering of NCM, Inc. common stock. Our ownership interest in NCM was reduced from approximately 25% to approximately 14% as part of this

sale of stock in the offering. See Note 6 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.
 
Gain on Fandango Transaction.  During 2007, we recorded a gain of $9.2 million as a result of the sale of our investment in stock of Fandango, Inc. See Note 8 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.
 
Loss on Early Retirement of Debt.  During 2007, we recorded a loss on early retirement of debt of $8.0 million as a result of the repurchase of $332.1 million aggregate principal amount of our 9% senior subordinated notes and the related write-off of unamortized debt issue costs and the payment of premiums, fees and expenses. See Note 13 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.
 
Distributions from NCM.  We recorded distributions received from NCM of $18.8 million during 2008 and $11.5 million during 2007, which were in excess of the carrying value of our investment. See Note 6 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.
 
Income Taxes.  Income tax expense of $35.6 million was recorded for 2008 compared to $127.6 million recorded for 2007. The effective tax rate of 227.6% for 2008 reflects the impact of our 2008 goodwill impairment charges, which are not deductible for income tax purposes. The effective tax rate in 2008 net of the impact from the goodwill impairment charges would have been approximately 37.8%. The effective tax rate of 52.3% for 2007 reflects the impact of our 2007 goodwill impairment charges, which are not deductible for income tax purposes. The effective tax rate in 2007 net of the impact from the goodwill impairment charges would have been approximately 42.0%.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Operating Activities
 
We primarily collect our revenues in cash, mainly through box office receipts and the sale of concessions. In addition, a majority of our theatres provide the patron a choice of using a credit card, in place of cash, which we convert to cash over a range from one to six days. Because our revenues are received in cash prior to the payment of related expenses, we have an operating “float” and historically have not required traditional working capital financing. Cash provided by operating activities amounted to $81.8 million, $80.6 million, $344.7 million and $219.8 million for the period from January 1, 2006 to October 4, 2006, for the period from October 5, 2006 to December 31, 2006, and for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively, and $122.7 million and $218.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively.
 
Investing Activities
 
Our investing activities have been principally related to the development and acquisition of additional theatres. New theatre openings and acquisitions historically have been financed with internally generated cash and by debt financing, including borrowings under our senior secured credit facility. Cash provided by (used for) investing activities amounted to $(76.4) million, $(555.4) million, $93.2 million, and $(94.9) million for the period from January 1, 2006 to October 4, 2006, the period from October 5, 2006 to December 31, 2006, and for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively, and $(58.5) million and $(145.4) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively. For the period from October 5, 2006 to December 31, 2006, $531.4 million of the cash used for investing activities related to the Century Acquisition. See Note 5 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for discussion of the Century Acquisition. For the year ended December 31, 2007, $214.8 million of the cash

See Note 6 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for further discussion of the NCM Transaction.
 
Capital expenditures for the period from January 1, 2006 to October 4, 2006, the period from October 5, 2006 to December 31, 2006 and the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, and the nine months ended September 30, 2009 were as follows (in millions):

We continue to expand our U.S. theatre circuit. We acquired four theatres with 82 screens, built three theatres with 38 screens and closed four theatres with 20 screens during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. At September 30, 2009, we had signed commitments to open one new theatre with 16 screens in domestic markets during the remainder of 2009 and open six new theatres with 80 screens subsequent to 2009. We estimate the remaining capital expenditures for the development of these 96 domestic screens will be approximately $34 million. Actual expenditures for continued theatre development and acquisitions are subject to change based upon the availability of attractive opportunities.
 
We also continue to expand our international theatre circuit. We acquired one theatre with 15 screens, built five theatres with 29 screens and closed three theatres and 19 screens during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. At September 30, 2009, we had signed commitments to open two new theatres with 14 screens in international markets during the remainder of 2009 and open four new theatres with 32 screens subsequent to 2009. We estimate the remaining capital expenditures for the development of these 46 international screens will be approximately $23 million. Actual expenditures for continued theatre development and acquisitions are subject to change based upon the availability of attractive opportunities.
 
We plan to fund capital expenditures for our continued development with cash flow from operations, borrowings under our senior secured credit facility, from debt issuances, proceeds from sale leaseback transactions and/or sales of excess real estate.
 
Financing Activities
 
Cash provided by (used for) financing activities was $(45.7) million, $478.9 million, $(357.0) million, and $(29.3) million during the period from January 1, 2006 to October 4, 2006, the period from October 5, 2006 to December 31, 2006 and the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively, and $(12.0) million and $(40.2) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively. For the period from October 5, 2006 to December 31, 2006, cash provided by financing activities primarily consists of $1,120.0 million of proceeds from the senior secured credit facility, partially offset by $360.0 million of cash utilized to pay off the long-term debt assumed in the Century Acquisition and $253.5 million of cash utilized to pay off our former senior secured credit facility. For the year ended December 31, 2007, cash used for financing activities primarily consisted of the repurchase of $332.1 million aggregate principal amount of our 9% senior subordinated notes.

8.625% Senior Notes due 2019
 
On June 29, 2009, we issued $470.0 million aggregate principal amount of 8.625% senior notes due 2019 with an original issue discount of approximately $11.5 million, resulting in proceeds of approximately $458.5 million. The proceeds were primarily used to fund the repurchase of Cinemark, Inc.’s Existing Discount Notes discussed above. Interest is payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year beginning on December 15, 2009. See “— Description of Exchange Notes.”
 
Senior Secured Credit Facility
 
On October 5, 2006, we entered into a senior secured credit facility. Our senior secured credit facility provides for a seven year term loan facility of $1.12 billion and a $150 million revolving credit line that matures in six years unless our 9% senior subordinated notes have not been refinanced by August 1, 2012 with indebtedness that matures no earlier than seven and one-half years after the closing date of our senior secured credit facility, in which case the maturity date of our revolving credit line becomes August 1, 2012. The net proceeds of the term loans were used to finance a portion of the $531.2 million cash portion of the Century Acquisition, repay in full the $253.5 million outstanding under the former senior secured credit facility, repay approximately $360.0 million of existing indebtedness of Century and pay for related fees and expenses. Our revolving credit line was left undrawn at closing. The revolving credit line is used for general corporate purposes.
 
At September 30, 2009, there was $1,086.4 million outstanding under the term loan and no borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit line. We had a minimum of approximately $121.5 million in available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility. The availability of our $150.0 million revolving credit facility may have recently been impacted by the insolvency of one of the lenders under the facility. As such, it is uncertain whether we could borrow the portion that would be funded by this insolvent lender, which is approximately $28.5 million. The average interest rate on outstanding term loan borrowings under the senior secured credit facility at September 30, 2009 was 3.1% per annum.
 
Under the term loan, principal payments of $2.8 million are due each calendar quarter beginning December 1, 2006 through September 30, 2012 and increase to $263.2 million each calendar quarter from December 31, 2012 to maturity at October 5, 2013. Prior to the amendment to the senior secured credit facility discussed below, the term loans accrued interest, at our option, at: (A) the base rate equal to the higher of (1) the prime lending rate as set forth on the British Banking Association Telerate page 5 or (2) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50%, plus a margin that ranges from 0.75% to 1.00% per annum, or (B) a “eurodollar rate” plus a margin that ranges from 1.75% to 2.00% per annum, in each case as adjusted pursuant to our corporate credit rating.
 
Borrowings under the revolving credit line bear interest, at our option, at: (A) a base rate equal to the higher of (1) the prime lending rate as set forth on the British Banking Association Telerate page 5 and (2) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50%, plus a margin that ranges from 0.50% to 1.00% per annum, or (B) a “eurodollar rate” plus a margin that ranges from 1.50% to 2.00% per annum, in each case as adjusted pursuant to our consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio as defined in the credit agreement. We are required to pay a commitment fee calculated at the rate of 0.50% per annum on the average daily unused portion of the new revolving credit line, payable quarterly in arrears, which decreases to 0.375% per annum for any fiscal quarter in which our consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio on the last day of such fiscal quarter is less than 2.25 to 1.0.
 
On March 14, 2007, we amended our senior secured credit facility to, among other things, modify the interest rate on the term loan under the senior secured credit facility, modify certain prepayment terms and covenants, and facilitate the tender offer for the 9% senior subordinated notes. The term loan now accrues interest, at our option, at: (A) the base rate equal to the higher of (1) the prime lending rate as set forth on the British Banking Association Telerate page 5, or (2) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50%, plus a margin that ranges from 0.50% to 0.75% per annum, or (B) a “eurodollar rate” plus a margin that ranges from 1.50% to 1.75%, per annum. In each case, the margin is a function of the corporate credit rating applicable to the borrower. The interest rate on the revolving credit line was not amended. Additionally,

Table of Contents

the amendment removed any obligation to prepay amounts outstanding under the senior secured credit facility in an amount equal to the amount of the net cash proceeds received from the NCM Transaction or from excess cash flows, and imposed a 1% prepayment premium for one year on certain prepayments of the term loan.
 
Our obligations under the senior secured credit facility are guaranteed by Cinemark Holdings, Cinemark, Inc., and certain of our domestic subsidiaries and are secured by mortgages on certain fee and leasehold properties and security interests in substantially all of our and the guarantors’ personal property, including, without limitation, pledges of all of The Company’s capital stock, all of the capital stock of Cinemark, Inc., and certain of our domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the voting stock of certain of its foreign subsidiaries.
 
The senior secured credit facility contains usual and customary negative covenants for agreements of this type, including, but not limited to, restrictions on our ability, and in certain instances, our subsidiaries’ and Cinemark Holdings’s and Cinemark, Inc.’s ability, to consolidate or merge or liquidate; wind up or dissolve; substantially change the nature of its business; sell, transfer or dispose of assets; create or incur indebtedness; create liens; pay dividends; repurchase stock and voluntarily repurchase or redeem the Existing Discount Notes; and make capital expenditures and investments. The senior secured credit facility also requires us to satisfy a consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio covenant as determined in accordance with our senior secured credit facility.
 
The dividend restriction contained in the senior secured credit facility prevents us and any of our subsidiaries from paying a dividend or otherwise distributing cash to its stockholders unless (1) we are not in default, and the distribution would not cause us to be in default, under the senior secured credit facility; and (2) the aggregate amount of certain dividends, distributions, investments, redemptions and capital expenditures made since October 5, 2006, including dividends declared by the board of directors, is less than the sum of (a) the aggregate amount of cash and cash equivalents received by Cinemark Holdings or us as common equity since October 5, 2006, (b) our consolidated EBITDA minus 1.75 times its consolidated interest expense, each as defined in the senior secured credit facility, since October 1, 2006, (c) $150 million and (d) certain other amounts specified in our senior secured credit facility, subject to certain adjustments specified in the senior secured credit facility. The dividend restriction is subject to certain exceptions specified in the senior secured credit facility.
 
The senior secured credit facility also includes customary events of default, including, among other things, payment default, covenant default, breach of representation or warranty, bankruptcy, cross-default, material ERISA events, certain types of change of control, material money judgments and failure to maintain subsidiary guarantees. If an event of default occurs, all commitments under the senior secured credit facility may be terminated and all obligations under the senior secured credit facility could be accelerated by the lenders, causing all loans outstanding (including accrued interest and fees payable thereunder) to be declared immediately due and payable.
 
See discussion of interest rate swap agreements under Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
 
Former Senior Secured Credit Facility
 
On October 5, 2006, in connection with the Century Acquisition, the $253.5 million outstanding under the former senior secured credit facility was repaid in full with a portion of the proceeds from our current senior secured credit facility.
 
9% Senior Subordinated Notes
 
On February 11, 2003, we issued $150 million aggregate principal amount of 9% senior subordinated notes due 2013 and on May 7, 2003, we issued an additional $210 million aggregate principal amount of 9% senior subordinated notes due 2013, collectively referred to as the 9% senior subordinated notes. Interest is payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year.
 
Prior to 2006, we repurchased approximately $17.8 million aggregate principal amount of our 9% senior subordinated notes. The transaction was funded with available cash from operations.

Table of Contents

 
During May 2006, as part of three open market purchases, we repurchased $10.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 9% senior subordinated notes for approximately $11.0 million, including accrued and unpaid interest. We funded the transactions with available cash from operations.
 
On March 6, 2007, we commenced a cash tender offer for any and all of the then outstanding $332.2 million aggregate principal amount of 9% senior subordinated notes. In connection with the tender offer, we solicited consents for certain proposed amendments to the indenture under which such notes were issued to remove substantially all restrictive covenants and certain events of default and other provisions. On March 20, 2007, the early settlement date, we repurchased $332.0 million aggregate principal amount of 9% senior subordinated notes and executed a supplemental indenture implementing the proposed amendments. We used the proceeds from the NCM Transaction and cash on hand to purchase the 9% senior subordinated notes tendered pursuant to the tender offer and consent solicitation. On April 3, 2007, we repurchased an additional $0.1 million aggregate principal amount of the 9% senior subordinated notes tendered after the early settlement date.
 
As of September 30, 2009, we had outstanding approximately $0.2 million aggregate principal amount of 9% senior subordinated notes. We may redeem the remaining 9% senior subordinated notes at our option at any time.
 
Covenant Compliance
 
As of September 30, 2009, we are in full compliance with all agreements, including all related covenants, governing our outstanding debt.
 
Ratings
 
We are rated by nationally recognized rating agencies. The significance of individual ratings varies from agency to agency. However, companies’ assigned ratings at the top end of the range have, in the opinion of certain rating agencies, the strongest capacity for repayment of debt or payment of claims, while companies at the bottom end of the range have the weakest capability. Ratings are always subject to change and there can be no assurance that our current ratings will continue for any given period of time. A downgrade of our debt ratings, depending on the extent, could increase the cost to borrow funds. Below are our latest ratings per category, which were current as of September 30, 2009.

New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In September 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS, No. 157 (FASB Accounting Standards Codification [“ASC”] Topic 820), “Fair Value Measurements.” Among other requirements, this statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement applies whenever other statements require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 157 (FASB ASC Topic 820) was effective for us beginning January 1, 2008 (January 1, 2009 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities). Adoption of this statement did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 (FASB ASC Topic 825), “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities.” This statement provides companies with an option to report selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are not required to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159 (FASB ASC Topic 825) establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 (FASB ASC Topic 825) was effective for us beginning January 1, 2008. We did not elect the fair value option. Adoption of this statement did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R) (FASB ASC Topic 805), “Business Combinations.” This statement requires all business combinations completed after the effective date to be accounted for

by applying the acquisition method (previously referred to as the purchase method); expands the definition of transactions and events that qualify as business combinations; requires that the acquired assets and liabilities, including contingencies, be recorded at the fair value determined on the acquisition date and changes thereafter reflected in income, not goodwill; changes the recognition timing for restructuring costs; and requires acquisition costs to be expensed as incurred rather than capitalized as part of the cost of the acquisition. Adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) (FASB ASC Topic 805) is required for business combinations that occur after December 15, 2008. Early adoption and retroactive application of SFAS No. 141(R) (FASB ASC Topic 805) to fiscal years preceding the effective date is not permitted. Adoption of this statement did not have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 (FASB ASC Topic 810), “Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements.” This statement establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will no longer be shown as a expense item for all periods presented, but will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. SFAS No. 160 (FASB ASC Topic 810) requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated income statement, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest. SFAS No. 160 (FASB ASC Topic 810) clarifies that changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. SFAS No. 160 (FASB ASC Topic 810) also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest. SFAS No. 160 (FASB ASC Topic 810) is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Upon adoption of this statement, we have recognized our noncontrolling interests as equity in the consolidated balance sheets, have reflected net income (loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated net income (loss) and have provided a summary of changes in equity and a summary of comprehensive income (loss) attributable to The Company, our noncontrolling interests and in total.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 (FASB ASC Topic 815) “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133.” This statement intends to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures about their impact on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 (FASB ASC Topic 815) requires disclosures regarding the objectives for using derivative instruments, the fair values of derivative instruments and their related gains and losses, and the accounting for derivatives and related hedged items. SFAS No. 161 (FASB ASC Topic 815) was effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 (FASB ASC Topic 815) did not impact our consolidated financial statements, and did not have a significant impact on our disclosures.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 (FASB ASC Topic 825), “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”). FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 (FASB ASC Topic 825) require that disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments be included in the notes to financial statements issued during interim periods. Fair value information must be presented in the notes to financial statements together with the carrying amounts of the financial instruments. It must be clearly stated whether the amounts are assets or liabilities and how they relate to information presented in the balance sheet. The disclosures must include methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair values, along with any changes in those methods and assumptions from prior periods. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 (FASB ASC Topic 825) are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption of FSP FAS-107-1 and APB 28-1 (FASB ASC Topic 825), the Company added a disclosure regarding the fair value of its long-term debt (see

In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165 (FASB ASC Topic 855), “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS No. 165”). SFAS No. 165 (FASB ASC Topic 855) should not result in significant changes in the subsequent events that an entity reports. Rather, SFAS No. 165 introduces the concept of financial statements that are available to be issued. Financial statements are considered available to be issued when they are complete in a form and format that complies with generally accepted accounting principles and all approvals necessary for issuance have been obtained. SFAS No. 165 (FASB ASC Topic 855) was effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 165 (FASB ASC Topic 855) did not have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company has evaluated events through November 11, 2009, the last business day before the financial statements were issued and the date on which they were available to be issued.
 
In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168 (FASB ASC Topic 105), “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No. 168”), which authorizes the Codification as the sole source for authoritative generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”). SFAS No. 168 (FASB ASC Topic 105) is effective for financial statements issued for reporting periods that end after September 15, 2009. Once SFAS No. 168 (FASB ASC Topic 105) is effective, it will supersede all accounting standards in U.S. GAAP, aside from those issued by the SEC. SFAS No. 168 (FASB ASC Topic 105) replaces SFAS No. 162 to establish a new hierarchy of GAAP sources for non-governmental entities under the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The adoption of SFAS No. 168 (FASB ASC Topic 105) is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
Seasonality
 
Our revenues have historically been seasonal, coinciding with the timing of releases of motion pictures by the major distributors. Generally, the most successful motion pictures have been released during the summer, extending from May to mid-August, and during the holiday season, extending from Thanksgiving through year-end. The unexpected emergence of a hit film during other periods can alter this seasonality trend. The timing of such film releases can have a significant effect on our results of operations, and the results of one quarter are not necessarily indicative of results for the next quarter or for the same period in the following year.
 
Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
 
We have exposure to financial market risks, including changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and other relevant market prices.
 
Interest Rate Risk
 
We are currently party to variable rate debt facilities. An increase or decrease in interest rates would affect our interest expense relating to our variable rate debt facilities. At September 30, 2009, there was an aggregate of approximately $787.7 million of variable rate debt outstanding under these facilities, which excludes $300.0 million of our term loan that is hedged with our interest rate swap agreements as discussed below. Based on the interest rates in effect on the variable rate debt outstanding at September 30, 2009, a


68


Table of Contents

100 basis point increase in market interest rates would increase our annual interest expense by approximately $7.9 million.
 
During 2007 and 2008, we entered into three interest rate swap agreements. The interest rate swap agreements qualify for cash flow hedge accounting. The fair values of the interest rate swaps are recorded on our consolidated balance sheet as an asset or liability with the effective portion of the interest rate swaps’ gains or losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and the ineffective portion reported in earnings.
 
In March 2007, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements with effective dates of August 13, 2007 and terms of five years each. The interest rate swaps were designated to hedge approximately $500.0 million of our variable rate debt obligations. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements, we pay fixed rates of 4.918% and 4.922% on $375.0 million and $125.0 million, respectively, of variable rate debt and receive interest at a variable rate based on the 3-month LIBOR. The 3-month LIBOR rate on each reset date determines the variable portion of the interest rate swaps for the three-month period following the reset date. No premium or discount was incurred upon us entering into the interest rate swaps because the pay and receive rates on the interest rate swaps represented prevailing rates for each counterparty at the time the interest rate swaps were consummated.
 
On September 14, 2008, the counterparty to our $375.0 million interest rate swap agreement filed for bankruptcy protection. As a result, we determined that on September 15, 2008, when the counterparty’s credit rating was downgraded, the interest rate swap was no longer highly effective. On October 1, 2008, we terminated this interest rate swap.
 
On October 3, 2008, we entered into one interest rate swap agreement with an effective date of November 14, 2008 and a term of four years. The interest rate swap was designated to hedge approximately $100.0 million of our variable rate debt obligations under our senior secured credit facility for three years and $75.0 million of our variable rate debt obligations under our senior secured credit facility for four years. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, we pay a fixed rate of 3.63% on $175.0 million of variable rate debt and receive interest at a variable rate based on the 1-month LIBOR. The 1-month LIBOR rate on each reset date determines the variable portion of the interest rate swap for the one-month period following the reset date. No premium or discount was incurred by us upon entering into the interest rate swap because the pay and receive rates on the interest rate swap represented prevailing rates for the counterparty at the time the interest rate swap was consummated.
 
The table below provides information about our fixed rate and variable rate long-term debt agreements as of September 30, 2009:

(1) Includes $300.0 million of our term loan, which represents the debt hedged with our interest rate swap agreements.
 
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
 
We are also exposed to market risk arising from changes in foreign currency exchange rates as a result of our international operations. Generally, we export from the U.S. certain of the equipment and construction interior finish items and other operating supplies used by our international subsidiaries. A majority of the revenues and operating expenses of our international subsidiaries are transacted in the country’s local currency. U.S. GAAP requires that our subsidiaries use the currency of the primary economic environment in which


69


Table of Contents

they operate as their functional currency. If our subsidiaries operate in a highly inflationary economy, U.S. GAAP requires that the U.S. dollar be used as the functional currency for the subsidiary. Currency fluctuations in the countries in which we operate result in us reporting exchange gains (losses) or foreign currency translation adjustments. Based upon our equity ownership in our international subsidiaries as of September 30, 2009, holding everything else constant, a 10% immediate, simultaneous, unfavorable change in all of the foreign currency exchange rates to which we are exposed, would decrease the aggregate net book value of our investments in our international subsidiaries by approximately $38 million and would have decreased the aggregate net income of our international subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2008 and for the nine month period ended September 30, 2009 by approximately $3 million and $5 million, respectively.

The Company also managed theatres in the U.S., Brazil and Colombia as of September 30, 2009.
 
We manage our business under two operating segments — U.S. markets and international markets, in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS No. 131 “Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information.” See Note 22 to our audited consolidated financial statements and Note 15 to our unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.
 
Our principal executive offices are at 3900 Dallas Parkway, Suite 500, Plano, Texas 75093. Our telephone number is (972) 665-1000. We maintain a corporate Web site at www.cinemark.com. The information on our Web site does not constitute part of this prospectus.
 
Description of Business
 
We are the second largest motion picture exhibitor in the world in terms of both attendance and number of screens in operation. We operated 426 theatres and 4,908 screens in the U.S. and Latin America as of September 30, 2009, and approximately 211.3 million patrons attended our theatres worldwide during the year ended December 31, 2008. Our circuit is the third largest in the U.S. with 296 theatres and 3,842 screens in 39 states and one Canadian province. We are the most geographically diverse circuit in Latin America with 130 theatres and 1,066 screens in 13 countries. Our modern theatre circuit features stadium seating in approximately 84% of our first-run auditoriums.
 
We selectively build or acquire new theatres in markets where we can establish and maintain a strong market position. We believe our portfolio of modern theatres provides a preferred destination for moviegoers and contributes to our significant cash flows from operating activities. Our significant presence in the U.S. and Latin America has made us an important distribution channel for movie studios, particularly as they look to increase revenues generated in Latin America. Our market leadership is attributable in large part to our senior executives, who average approximately 34 years of industry experience and have successfully navigated us through multiple business cycles.
 
We grew our total revenue per patron at a CAGR during the last three fiscal years of 10.2%, the highest among the three largest U.S. motion picture exhibitors. Revenues, operating income and net income (loss) attributable to Cinemark USA, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2008, were $1,742.3 million, $61.4 million and $(23.8) million, respectively, and were $1,440.1 million, $178.0 million and $89.3 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. At September 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $358.8 million and long-term debt of $1,546.6 million. Approximately $787.7 million, or 51% of our total long-term debt accrues interest at variable rates.
 
Motion Picture Industry Overview
 
Domestic Markets
 
The U.S. motion picture exhibition industry has a track record of long-term growth, with box office revenues growing at an estimated CAGR of 5.2% from 1992 to 2008. Against this background of steady long-term growth, the exhibition industry has experienced periodic short-term increases and decreases in attendance, and consequently box office revenues. According to industry sources, in 2008, the motion picture exhibition industry experienced its best performance in history, with total box office revenues exceeding the record breaking 2007 box office revenues. One of the films released during 2008, The Dark Knight, which grossed over $500 million in domestic box office revenues, broke several box office revenue records, including the single day box office revenue record on its opening day and the single film three-day weekend record during

its opening weekend. Films released during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 included Ice Age: Dawn of the Dinosaurs, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince, G.I. Joe: The Rise of the Cobra, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen, Disney Pixar’s Up, Star Trek, The Hangover, Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian, Monsters vs. Aliens, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, Taken, Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs, The Proposal, and Fast & Furious. Film releases scheduled for the remainder of 2009 include Twilight 2: New Moon, Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakuel, Paranormal Activity, Where the Wild Things Are, 2012, Old Dogs, Sherlock Holmes, The Lovely Bones, The Princess and the Frog, and 3-D movies such as Avatar and A Christmas Carol.
 
The following table represents the results of a survey by MPAA published during March 2009, outlining the historical trends in U.S. box office revenues for the ten year period from 1998 to 2008:
 
                         
    U.S. Box
      Average Ticket

  $ 9,138       1,395     $ 6.55  
2007
  $ 9,629       1,400     $ 6.88  
2008
  $ 9,791       1,364     $ 7.18  
 
International Markets
 
International growth also continues to be consistent. According to MPAA, international box office revenues were $18.3 billion for the year ended December 31, 2008, resulting in a CAGR of 10.9% from 2003 to 2008, which is a result of increasing acceptance of movie going as a popular form of entertainment throughout the world, ticket price increases and new theatre construction.
 
Growth in Latin America is expected to continue to be fueled by a combination of continued development of modern theatres, growing populations, attractive demographics (i.e., a significant teenage population), quality product from Hollywood and the emergence of a local film industry. In many Latin American countries the local film industry had been dormant because of the lack of sufficient theatres to exhibit the film product. The development of new modern multiplex theatres has revitalized the local film industry and, in Mexico, Brazil and Argentina, successful local film product often provides incremental growth opportunities.
 
We believe many international markets for theatrical exhibition have historically been underserved and that certain of these markets, especially those in Latin America, will continue to experience growth as additional modern stadium-styled theatres are introduced.
 
Drivers of Continued Industry Success
 
We believe the following market trends will drive the continued growth and strength of our industry:
 
Importance of Theatrical Success in Establishing Movie Brands and Subsequent Markets.  Theatrical exhibition is the primary distribution channel for new motion picture releases. A successful theatrical release which “brands” a film is one of the major factors in determining its success in “downstream” markets, such as DVDs, network and syndicated television, video on-demand, pay-per-view television and the Internet.
 
Increased Importance of International Markets for Box Office Success.  International markets continue to be an increasingly important component of the overall box office revenues generated by


72


Table of Contents

Hollywood films, accounting for $18.3 billion, or 65% of 2008 total worldwide box office revenues according to MPAA. With continued growth of the international motion picture exhibition industry, we believe the relative contribution of markets outside North America will become even more significant.
 
Stable Long-Term Attendance Trends.  We believe that long-term trends in motion picture attendance in the U.S. will continue to benefit the industry. According to Nielsen Entertainment/NRG, 77% of moviegoers stated their overall theatre experience in 2007 was time and money well spent.
 
Convenient and Affordable Form of Out-Of-Home Entertainment.  Moviegoing continues to be one of the most convenient and affordable forms of out-of-home entertainment, with an estimated average ticket price in the U.S. of $7.18 in 2008. Average prices in 2008 for other forms of out-of-home entertainment in the U.S., including sporting events and theme parks, range from approximately $23.50 to $71.00 per ticket according to MPAA. Movie ticket prices have risen at approximately the rate of inflation, while ticket prices for other forms of out-of-home entertainment have increased at higher rates.
 
Innovation with Digital Technology.  The industry has begun to convert to the use of digital projection technology, which will allow exhibitors to expand their product offerings. Digital technology will allow the presentation of 3-D content and alternative entertainment venues such as live sports programs, the opera and concert events. These additional programming alternatives may enhance the level of patronage for exhibitors.
 
Competitive Strengths
 
We believe the following strengths allow us to compete effectively:
 
Disciplined Operating Philosophy.  We generated operating income and net loss attributable to Cinemark USA, Inc. of $61.4 million and $(23.8) million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2008. Our net loss for the year ended December 31, 2008 was primarily due to $113.5 million of noncash impairment charges. We generated operating income and net income attributable to Cinemark USA, Inc. of $178.0 million and $89.3 million, respectively, for the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Our solid operating performance is a result of our disciplined operating philosophy that centers on building high quality assets, while negotiating favorable theatre level economics and controlling theatre operating costs. As a result, we grew our admissions and concession revenues per patron at the highest CAGR during the last three fiscal years among the three largest U.S. motion picture exhibitors.
 
Leading Position in Our U.S. Markets.  We have a leading market share in the U.S. metropolitan and suburban markets we serve. For the year ended December 31, 2008, we ranked either first or second based on box office revenues in 21 out of our top 25 U.S. markets, including the San Francisco Bay Area, Dallas, Houston and Salt Lake City.
 
Strategically Located in Heavily Populated Latin American Markets.  Since 1993, we have invested throughout Latin America in response to the continued growth of the region. We currently operate 130 theatres and 1,066 screens in 13 countries. Our international screens generated revenues of $385.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2008. We have successfully established a significant presence in major cities in the region, with theatres in 13 of the 15 largest metropolitan areas. With a geographically diverse circuit, we are an important distribution channel to the movie studios. The projected annual population growth for the Latin American countries in which we operate ranges from 1% to 2% for each of the next three years. We are well-positioned with our modern, large-format theatres to take advantage of these factors for further growth and diversification of our revenues.
 
State-of-the-Art Theatre Circuit.  We offer state-of-the-art theatres, which we believe makes our theatres a preferred destination for moviegoers in our markets. We feature stadium seating in approximately 84% of our first-run auditoriums. During 2008, we continued our expansion by adding 203 new screens. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we added 164 screens. We currently have commitments to build 142 additional screens over the next three years.

Solid Balance Sheet and Significant Cash Flow from Operating Activities.  We generate significant cash flow from operating activities as a result of several factors, including predictable revenues, a geographically diverse and modern theatre circuit, and management’s ability to control costs. Additionally, our ownership of land and buildings for 43 of our theatres is a strategic advantage that enhances our cash flows. We believe our expected level of cash flow generation will provide us with the strategic and financial flexibility to pursue growth opportunities, support our debt payments and make dividend payments to our parent company stockholders. As of September 30, 2009, we had cash and cash equivalents of $358.8 million.
 
Experienced Management.  Led by Chairman and founder Lee Roy Mitchell, Chief Executive Officer Alan Stock, President and Chief Operating Officer Timothy Warner and Chief Financial Officer Robert Copple, our management team has an average of approximately 34 years of theatre operating experience executing a focused strategy which has led to consistent operating results. This management team has successfully navigated us through many industry and economic cycles.
 
Our Strategy
 
We believe our disciplined operating philosophy and experienced management team will enable us to continue to enhance our leading position in the motion picture exhibition industry. Key components of our strategy include:
 
Establish and Maintain Leading Market Positions.  We will continue to seek growth opportunities by building or acquiring modern theatres that meet our strategic, financial and demographic criteria. We will continue to focus on establishing and maintaining a leading position in the markets we serve.
 
Continue to Focus on Operational Excellence.  We will continue to focus on achieving operational excellence by controlling theatre operating costs while continuing to provide leading customer service. Our margins reflect our track record of operating efficiency.
 
Selectively Build in Profitable, Strategic Latin American Markets.  Our international expansion will continue to focus primarily on Latin America through construction of modern, state-of-the-art theatres in growing urban markets.
 
Theatre Operations
 
As of September 30, 2009, we operated 426 theatres and 4,908 screens in 39 states, one Canadian province and 13 Latin American countries. Our theatres in the U.S. are primarily located in mid-sized U.S. markets, including suburbs of major metropolitan areas. We believe these markets are generally less competitive and generate high, stable margins. Our theatres in Latin America are primarily located in major metropolitan markets, which we believe are generally underscreened. The following tables summarize the geographic locations of our theatre circuit as of September 30, 2009.

We first entered Latin America when we began operating movie theatres in Chile in 1993 and Mexico in 1994. Since then, through our focused international strategy, we have developed into the most geographically diverse theatre circuit in the region. We have balanced our risk through a diversified international portfolio, currently operating theatres in 13 of the 15 largest metropolitan areas in Latin America. In addition, we have achieved significant scale in Brazil and Mexico, the two largest Latin American economies, with 388 screens in Brazil and 296 screens in Mexico as of September 30, 2009.
 
We believe that certain markets within Latin America continue to be underserved as penetration of movie screens per capita in Latin American markets is substantially lower than in the U.S. and European markets. We will continue to build and expand our presence in underserved international markets, with emphasis on Latin America, and fund our expansion primarily with cash flow generated in those markets. We are able to mitigate exposure to currency fluctuations by using local currencies to fund substantially all costs of our international operations, including film and facility lease expense. Our geographic diversity throughout Latin America has allowed us to maintain consistent revenue growth, notwithstanding currency and economic fluctuations that may affect any particular market. Our international revenues were approximately $385.8 million during 2008 versus $333.6 million during 2007.
 
Film Licensing
 
In the U.S., we license films on a theatre-by-theatre and film-by-film basis from film distributors that are owned by major film production companies or from independent film distributors that distribute films for smaller production companies. For new release films, film distributors typically establish geographic zones and offer each available film to one theatre in each zone. The size of a film zone is generally determined by the population density, demographics and box office revenue potential of a particular market or region. We currently operate theatres in 247 first run film zones in the U.S. New film releases are licensed at the discretion of the film distributors. As the sole exhibitor in approximately 87% of the first run film zones in which we operate, we have maximum access to film product, which allows us to select those pictures which we believe will be the most successful in our markets from those offered to us by distributors. We usually license films on an allocation basis in film zones where we face competition.
 
In the international markets in which we operate, distributors do not allocate films to a single theatre in a geographic film zone, but allow competitive theatres to play the same films simultaneously. In these markets, films are still licensed on a theatre-by-theatre and film-by-film basis. Our theatre personnel focus on providing excellent customer service, and we provide a modern facility with the most up-to-date sound systems, comfortable stadium-style seating and other amenities typical of modern American-style multiplexes, which we believe gives us a competitive advantage in markets where competing theatres play the same films. Of the 1,066 screens that we operate in international markets, approximately 72% have no direct competition from other theatres.
 
Our film rental licenses in the U.S. typically specify that rental fees are based on the applicable box office receipts and either the mutually agreed upon firm terms or a sliding scale formula, which are established prior to the opening of the film, or a mutually agreed upon settlement, which occurs at the conclusion of the film run, subject to the film licensing agreement. Under a firm terms formula, we pay the distributor a specified percentage of box office receipts, which reflects either a mutually agreed upon aggregate rate for the life of the film or rates that decline over the term of the run. Under the sliding scale formula, film rental is paid as a percentage of box office revenues using a pre-determined matrix based upon box office performance of the film. The settlement process allows for negotiation of film rental fees upon the conclusion of the film run based upon how the film performs. Internationally, our film rental licenses are primarily based on mutually agreed upon firm terms established prior to the opening of the picture. The film rental percentages paid by our international locations are generally lower than in the U.S. markets and gradually decline over a period of several weeks.
 
We operate six art theatres with 21 screens under the CineArts brand. We also regularly play art and independent films at many of our other theatres, providing a variety of film choices to our patrons. Operating under the CineArts brand and bringing art and independent films to our other brands, allows us to benefit from

the growth in the art and independent market driven by the more mature patron and the increased interest in art, foreign and documentary films. High profile film festivals, such as the Sundance Film Festival, have contributed to growth and interest in this genre. Recent hits such as Slumdog Millionaire and Doubt have demonstrated the box office potential of art and independent films.
 
Concessions
 
Concession sales are our second largest revenue source, representing approximately 31% of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2008 and the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Concession sales have a much higher margin than admissions sales. We have devoted considerable management effort to increase concession sales and improve operating margins. These efforts include implementation of the following strategies:
 
  •  Optimization of product mix.  We offer concession products that primarily include various sizes of popcorn, soft drinks and candy. Different varieties and flavors of candy and soft drinks are offered at theatres based on preferences in that particular geographic region. Our point of sale system allows us to monitor product sales and make changes to product mix as necessary. Specially priced combos and promotions are launched on a regular basis to increase average concession purchases as well as to attract new buyers.
 
  •  Staff training.  Employees are continually trained in “suggestive-selling” and “upselling” techniques. Consumer promotions conducted at the concession stand usually include a motivational element that rewards theatre staff for exceptional combo sales during the period.
 
  •  Theatre design.  Our theatres are designed to optimize efficiencies at the concession stands, which include multiple service stations to facilitate serving more customers more quickly. We strategically place large concession stands within theatres to heighten visibility, reduce the length of concession lines, and improve traffic flow around the concession stands. Some of our concession areas are designed as self-service stations which allow customers to select their own refreshments and proceed to the cash register when they are ready. This design presents efficient service, enhanced choice and superior visibility of concession items. Concession designs in many of our new theatres have incorporated the self-service model and the associated benefits.
 
  •  Cost control.  We negotiate prices for concession supplies directly with concession vendors and manufacturers to obtain bulk rates. Concession supplies are distributed through a national distribution network. The concession distributor supplies and distributes inventory to the theatres, who place orders directly with the vendors to replenish stock.
 
Participation in National CineMedia
 
In March 2005, Regal and AMC formed NCM, and on July 15, 2005, we joined NCM, as one of the founding members. NCM operates an in-theatre digital network in the U.S. The digital network consists of projectors used to display advertising and other non-film events. NCM’s primary activities that impact us include:
 
  •  advertising through its branded “First Look” pre-feature entertainment program, and lobby promotions and displays,
 
  •  live and pre-recorded networked and single-site meetings and events, and
 
  •  live and pre-recorded concerts, sporting events and other non-film entertainment programming.
 
We believe that the reach, scope and digital delivery capability of NCM’s network provides an effective platform for national, regional and local advertisers to reach an engaged audience. We receive a monthly theatre access fee for participation in the NCM network. In addition, we are entitled to receive mandatory quarterly distributions of excess cash from NCM. We currently have an approximate 15% interest in NCM. See Note 6 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus.


77


Table of Contents

In our international markets, we generally outsource our screen advertising to local companies who have established relationships with local advertisers that provide similar benefits as NCM.
 
Participation in Digital Cinema Implementation Partners
 
On February 12, 2007, Cinemark, AMC and Regal, entered into a joint venture known as Digital Cinema Implementation Partners LLC, or DCIP, to facilitate the implementation of digital cinema in our theatres and to establish agreements with major motion picture studios for the financing of digital cinema. Future digital cinema developments will be managed by DCIP, subject to certain approvals by us, AMC and Regal.
 
As of the date of this prospectus, DCIP had signed long-term agreements with six studios for the deployment of digital projection systems in movie theatres in North America. These agreements are the first of a number of agreements that DCIP intends to enter into with all of the major studios and independent distribution companies to ensure the widespread roll-out of digital technology. In accordance with these agreements, the digital projection systems deployed by DCIP will comply with the technology and security specifications developed by the Digital Cinema Initiatives studio consortium. DCIP is currently working with lenders and equity sources to finance the planned deployment of digital systems.
 
Marketing
 
In the U.S., we rely on newspaper display advertisements, paid for by film distributors, newspaper directory film schedules, generally paid for by us, and Internet advertising, which has emerged as the primary media source to inform patrons of film titles and showtimes. Radio and television advertising spots, generally paid for by film distributors, are used to promote certain motion pictures and special events. We also exhibit previews of coming attractions and films presently playing on the other screens in our theatres or markets. We offer patrons access to movie times, the ability to buy and print their tickets at home and purchase gift cards and other advanced sale-type certificates at our Web site www.cinemark.com. The Internet is becoming a popular way to view movie previews. We use monthly web contests with film distributor partners to drive traffic to our Web site and to ensure that customers visit often. In addition, we work on a regular basis with all of the film distributors to promote their films with local, regional and national programs that are exclusive to our theatres. These programs may involve customer contests, cross-promotions with third parties, media on-air tie-ins and other means to increase traffic to a particular film showing at one of our theatres.
 
Internationally, we exhibit upcoming and current film previews on screen, we implement co-promotions with film distributors and promote and advertise our new locations through various forms of media and events. We partner with large multi-national corporations in the large metropolitan areas in which we have theatres, to promote our brand, our image and to increase attendance levels at our theatres. Our customers are encouraged to register on our Web site to receive weekly information by email for showtime information, invitations to special screenings, sponsored events and promotional information. In addition, our customers can request to receive showtime information on their cell phones. We also have loyalty programs in certain of our international markets that allow customers to pay a nominal fee for a membership card that provides them with certain admissions and concession discounts.
 
Our marketing departments also focus on maximizing ancillary revenue, which includes the sale of our gift cards and our SuperSaver discount tickets. We market these programs to business representatives such as realtors, human resource managers, incentive program managers and hospital and pharmaceutical personnel. Gift cards can be purchased at our theatres or online through our Web site. SuperSavers are also sold online at our Web site or over the phone, fax or email by our local corporate offices and are also available at certain retailers in the U.S.
 
Online Sales
 
Our patrons may purchase advance tickets for all of our domestic screens and approximately one half of our international screens by accessing our corporate Web site at www.cinemark.com. Advance tickets may also be purchased for our domestic screens at www.fandango.com. Our Internet initiatives help improve customer

satisfaction, allowing patrons who purchase tickets over the Internet to often bypass lines at the box office by printing their tickets at home or picking up their tickets at kiosks in the theatre lobby.
 
Point of Sale Systems
 
We have developed our own proprietary point of sale system to enhance our ability to maximize revenues, control costs and efficiently manage operations. The system is currently installed in all of our U.S. theatres and our one Canadian theatre. The point of sale system provides corporate management with real-time admissions and concession revenues reports that allow us to make timely changes to movie schedules, including extending film runs, increasing the number of screens on which successful movies are being played, or substituting films when gross receipts do not meet expectations. Real-time seating and box office information is available to box office personnel, preventing overselling of a particular film and providing faster and more accurate responses to customer inquiries regarding showtimes and available seating. The system tracks concession sales, provides in-theatre inventory reports for efficient inventory management and control, offers numerous ticket pricing options, integrates Internet ticket sales and processes credit card transactions. Barcode scanners, pole displays, touch screens, credit card readers and other equipment are integrated with the system to enhance its functions. In our international locations, we currently use other point of sale systems that have either been developed internally or by third parties, which have been certified as compliant with applicable governmental regulations.
 
Competition
 
We are one of the leading motion picture exhibitors in terms of both revenues and the number of screens in operation. We compete against local, regional, national and international exhibitors with respect to attracting patrons, licensing films and developing new theatre sites.
 
We are the sole exhibitor in approximately 87% of the 247 first run film zones in which our first run U.S. theatres operate. In film zones where there is no direct competition from other theatres, we select those films that we believe will be the most successful from among those offered to us by film distributors. Where there is competition, we usually license films based on an allocation process. Of the 1,066 screens we operate outside of the U.S., approximately 72% of those screens have no direct competition from other theatres. In areas where we face direct competition, our success in attracting patrons depends on location, accessibility and capacity of an exhibitor’s theatre, theatre comfort, quality of projection and sound equipment, film showtime availability, level of customer service, and ticket prices. The competition for film licensing in the U.S. is dependent upon factors such as the location, condition and capacity of an exhibitor’s theatre, revenue potential and licensing terms.
 
We compete for new theatre sites with other movie theatre exhibitors as well as other entertainment venues, which is dependent upon factors such as committed investment and resources, theatre design and capacity, revenue and patron potential, and financial stability.
 
We also face competition from a number of other motion picture exhibition delivery systems, such as DVDs, network and syndicated television, video on-demand, pay-per-view television and the Internet. We also face competition from other forms of entertainment competing for the public’s leisure time and disposable income, such as concerts, theme parks and sporting events.
 
Corporate Operations
 
Our corporate headquarters is located in Plano, Texas. Personnel at our corporate headquarters provide oversight for our domestic and international theatres. Domestic personnel at our corporate headquarters include concessions, theatre operations support, film licensing, human resources, legal, finance and accounting, operational audit, theatre maintenance and construction, Internet and information systems support, real estate and marketing. Our U.S. operations are divided into 16 regions, primarily organized geographically, each of which is headed by a region leader.


79


Table of Contents

International personnel at our corporate headquarters include our President of Cinemark International, L.L.C. and department heads in charge of film licensing, concessions, theatre operations, theatre construction, real estate, legal, operational audit, information systems and accounting. We have a chief financial officer in both Brazil and Mexico, which are our two largest international markets. We have eight regional offices in Latin America responsible for the local management of theatres in thirteen individual countries. Each regional office is headed by a general manager and includes personnel in film licensing, marketing, human resources, information systems, operations and accounting. The regional offices are staffed with experienced personnel from the region to mitigate cultural and operational barriers.
 
Employees
 
We have approximately 14,500 employees in the U.S., approximately 10% of whom are full time employees and 90% of whom are part time employees. We have approximately 6,400 employees in our international markets, approximately 66% of whom are full time employees and approximately 34% of whom are part time employees. Some of our U.S. employees are represented by unions under collective bargaining agreements, and some of our international locations are subject to union regulations. We regard our relations with our employees to be satisfactory.
 
Regulations
 
The distribution of motion pictures is largely regulated by federal and state antitrust laws and has been the subject of numerous antitrust cases. The manner in which we can license films from certain major film distributors is subject to consent decrees resulting from these cases. Consent decrees bind certain major film distributors and require the films of such distributors to be offered and licensed to exhibitors, including us, on a theatre-by-theatre and film-by-film basis. Consequently, exhibitors cannot assure themselves a supply of films by entering long-term arrangements with major distributors, but must negotiate for licenses on a theatre-by-theatre and film-by-film basis.
 
We are subject to various general regulations applicable to our operations including the ADA. We develop new theatres to be accessible to the disabled and we believe we are substantially compliant with current regulations relating to accommodating the disabled. Although we believe that our theatres comply with the ADA, we have been a party to lawsuits which claim that our handicapped seating arrangements do not comply with the ADA or that we are required to provide captioning for patrons who are deaf or are severely hearing impaired.
 
Our theatre operations are also subject to federal, state and local laws governing such matters as wages, working conditions, citizenship, health and sanitation requirements and licensing.
 
Financial Information About Geographic Areas
 
We have operations in the U.S., Canada, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Argentina, Peru, Ecuador, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Guatemala which are reflected in the consolidated financial statements. See Note 22 to our audited consolidated financial statements and Note 15 to the unaudited interim financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for segment information and financial information by geographic area.
 
Properties
 
United States
 
As of September 30, 2009, we operated 253 theatres, with 3,235 screens, pursuant to leases and own the land and building for 43 theatres, with 607 screens, in the U.S. Our leases are generally entered into on a long-term basis with terms, including renewal options, generally ranging from 20 to 45 years. As of September 30, 2009, approximately 8% of our theatre leases in the U.S., covering 21 theatres with 177 screens, have remaining terms, including optional renewal periods, of less than five years. Approximately 12% of our theatre leases in the U.S., covering 30 theatres with 233 screens, have remaining terms, including optional


80


Table of Contents

renewal periods, of between six and 15 years and approximately 80% of our theatre leases in the U.S., covering 202 theatres with 2,825 screens, have remaining terms, including optional renewal periods, of more than 15 years. The leases generally provide for a fixed monthly minimum rent payment, with certain leases also subject to additional percentage rent if a target annual revenue level is achieved. We lease an office building in Plano, Texas for our corporate office.
 
International
 
As of September 30, 2009, internationally, we operated 130 theatres, with 1,066 screens, all of which are leased pursuant to ground or building leases. Our international leases are generally entered into on a long-term basis with terms generally ranging from 10 to 20 years. The leases generally provide for contingent rental based upon operating results (some of which are subject to an annual minimum). Generally, these leases include renewal options for various periods at stipulated rates. Seven international theatres with 54 screens have a remaining term, including optional renewal periods, of less than five years. Approximately 33% of our international theatre leases, covering 41 theatres and 350 screens, have remaining terms, including optional renewal periods, of between six and 15 years and approximately 62% of our international theatre leases, covering 82 theatres and 662 screens, have remaining terms, including optional renewal periods, of more than 15 years.
 
See Note 21 to our audited consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this prospectus for information regarding our domestic and international lease commitments. We periodically review the profitability of each of our theatres, particularly those whose lease terms are nearing expiration, to determine whether to continue its operations.
 
Legal Proceedings
 
We resolved a lawsuit filed by the DOJ in March 1999 which alleged certain violations of the ADA relating to wheelchair seating arrangements in certain of our stadium-style theatres. We and the DOJ agreed to a consent order which was entered by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, on November 15, 2004. Under the consent order, we were required to make modifications to wheelchair seating locations in fourteen stadium-style movie theatres and spacing and companion seating modifications in 67 auditoriums at other stadium-styled movie theatres by November 2009. These modifications were completed by November 2009 and we are currently in compliance with the consent order. We believe that these modifications allow these theatres to comply with wheelchair seating requirements and that no further modifications will be required to our other stadium-style movie theatres in the United States existing on the date of the consent order. In addition, under the consent order, the DOJ approved the seating plans for nine stadium-styled movie theatres then under construction and also created a safe harbor framework for us to construct all of our future stadium-style movie theatres. The DOJ has stipulated that all theatres built in compliance with the consent order will comply with the wheelchair seating requirements of the ADA. We do not believe that our requirements under the consent order will materially affect our business or financial condition.
 
From time to time, we are involved in other various legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of our business operations, such as personal injury claims, employment matters, landlord-tenant disputes and contractual disputes, some of which are covered by insurance. We believe our potential liability, with respect to proceedings currently pending, is not material, individually or in the aggregate, to our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Compensation Discussion and Analysis
 
Overview of Compensation Program
 
We are a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cinemark Holdings, a publicly traded company on the NYSE, traded under the symbol “CNK”. We do not have a compensation committee. The Compensation Committee of the Cinemark Holdings Board, which we refer to as the Compensation Committee, is responsible for establishing, implementing and monitoring the Company’s executive compensation program, including the compensation of our Chairman of the Board (Lee Roy Mitchell), Chief Executive Officer (Alan W. Stock), President (Tim Warner), Chief Financial Officer (Robert Copple) and Senior Vice President and General Counsel (Michael Cavalier). We refer to these executives as our named executive officers and they are the top five most highly compensated officers. Generally, the types of compensation and benefits provided to our named executive officers are similar to those provided to other officers of the Company. These executives are also the named executive officers and the top five most highly compensated officers of Cinemark Holdings.
 
Goals and Objectives of Our Executive Compensation Program
 
The Compensation Committee is responsible for establishing our compensation policy, setting base salaries for executive officers and reviewing and approving our bonus plan and long term equity incentive compensation for all eligible employees. In so doing, the Compensation Committee has the responsibility to develop, implement, and manage compensation policies and programs that have the following goals:
 
(a) enhance our long term competitive advantage and sustainable profitability, thereby contributing to the value of our stockholders’ investment;
 
(b) align the executives’ and stockholders’ interest;
 
(c) attract, motivate, reward and retain high performance executives; and
 
(d) support our business strategy by defining specific business criteria and performance targets for executives and rewarding achievement of these targets.
 
Components of Compensation
 
Our executive compensation program currently consists primarily of:
 
  •  annual base salaries;
 
  •  annual performance-based cash incentive payments; and
 
  •  long term equity incentive compensation.
 
These elements of compensation promote the objectives of our compensation philosophy. Base salary provides minimum levels of compensation that help attract and retain qualified executives. Performance based bonuses reward achievements of specified business criteria and performance targets important to fulfilling the Company’s strategic goals. Long term equity incentive compensation aligns an executive’s compensation with the creation of long term stockholder value and assists in retaining qualified executives.
 
The Compensation Committee is responsible for:
 
  •  determining the compensation for each of the named executive officers, and reviews, evaluates and oversees the Company’s compensation program;


87


Table of Contents

 
  •  determining the compensation for the other executive officers and other senior officers it deems appropriate;
 
  •  establishing certain business criteria and performance targets relevant to compensation for the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers and evaluating their performance against such business criteria and performance targets; and
 
  •  approving the grant of all equity based compensation.
 
In fulfilling these responsibilities, the Compensation Committee establishes the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer without management input, but may be assisted in this determination by outside compensation consultants. In establishing the compensation for the other executive officers, the Compensation Committee may consider the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer and input received from a compensation consultant. The Compensation Committee advises the board of its determination prior to implementation of annual bonus and equity based awards for the named executive officers and other executive officers it deems appropriate and may consider input provided by the board. However, performance-based cash incentive compensation and long-term equity incentive compensation are determined solely by the Compensation Committee.
 
The Chief Executive Officer conducts an annual review of the aggregate level of our executive compensation as part of our annual budget review and annual performance review which uses financial and non-financial criteria to measure our performance against internal goals and the performance of comparable companies in the theatrical exhibition industry. Annually, the Chief Executive Officer provides recommendations to the Compensation Committee for specific levels of base salary, target levels for annual performance-based cash incentive payments and long-term equity based compensation (other than for the Chief Executive Officer). Management also provides data with respect to the competitive market for executives and compensation levels provided by comparable companies, the compensation practices of companies in the theatrical exhibition industry and companies of comparable size and financial performance with whom we may compete for talent. In 2007, the Company management, with the approval of the Compensation Committee, engaged an outside compensation consultant, Longnecker & Associates, to review and make recommendations to our executive compensation program. The consultant is independent of management and provides data (including data provided by management) to the Compensation Committee for review and determination of compensation of individual executive officers. In 2008, as in previous years, management provided comparable compensation data from SEC filings for a peer group of companies, namely, AMC, Regal Entertainment Group, Inc., Carmike Cinemas, Inc. and IMAX Corporation for comparable compensation data. Certain elements of our executive compensation program for 2008 were based in part on such recommendations. The Compensation Committee believes, based upon its experience and knowledge, that the executive compensation program discussed herein provides the best method to achieve our goal of attracting, retaining and motivating key executive personnel.
 
Base Salary
 
The Compensation Committee seeks to keep base salary competitive and to establish the minimum levels of compensation that helps attract and retain qualified executives. Base salaries for the Chief Executive Officer and the other executive officers are determined by the Compensation Committee based on a variety of factors including:
 
  •  nature and responsibility of the position;
 
  •  expertise of the individual executive;
 
  •  competitiveness of the market for the executive’s services;
 
  •  potential for driving the Company’s success in the future;
 
  •  peer data;


88


Table of Contents

 
  •  the performance reviews and recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer (except in the case of his own compensation); and
 
  •  other judgmental factors deemed relevant by the Compensation Committee such as recommendations of the compensation consultant.
 
The Compensation Committee has not adopted any formula with specific weightings assigned to any of the factors above. For the 2009 fiscal year, annual base salaries were reviewed during the fourth quarter of 2008. Following this review, for 2009, base salaries for our named executive officers increased 1% over their respective 2008 base salaries.
 
Annual Performance-Based Cash Incentive Compensation
 
In setting compensation, the Compensation Committee considers annual cash incentives based on Company performance to be an important tool in motivating and rewarding the performance of our executive officers. Performance-based cash incentive compensation is paid to our executive officers pursuant to the Cinemark Holdings Performance Bonus Plan or the Bonus Plan to align executive pay with the financial performance of the Company. Under the Bonus Plan, during the first quarter of the fiscal year, the Compensation Committee establishes objective business criteria and performance factors for the Company for the fiscal year and based upon the performance of the Company during the fiscal year, the Compensation Committee awards cash bonuses to the Bonus Plan participants prior to the end of the first quarter of the following fiscal year. The objective of the Bonus Plan is to make cash bonus payments annually to individuals based on the achievement of specific objective annual performance factors or business criteria that contributes to the growth, profitability and increased value of the Company.
 
The bonus process for the named executive officers under the Bonus Plan involves the following steps:
 
(1) Setting a Target Bonus.  During the first quarter of the fiscal year, the Compensation Committee approves the target bonus amount for each named executive officer. The target bonus amount may take into account all factors deemed relevant by the Compensation Committee, including recommendations from the Chief Executive Officer (except for target bonus amounts for the Chief Executive Officer). The Compensation Committee also approves the maximum bonus that a named executive officer is entitled to receive. The maximum bonus amount will not exceed 200% of such named executive officer’s annual base salary at the time the target bonus is determined.
 
(2) Setting the Performance Factors.  During the first quarter of each fiscal year, the Compensation Committee establishes the performance factors for the Company and the executive officers. Performance factors may include by way of example but not limitation, any or all of the following: revenue; net sales; operating income; earnings before all or any of interest, taxes, depreciation and/or amortization, or EBIT, EBITA or EBITDA; Adjusted EBITDA; Adjusted EBITDA Margin; cash flow; working capital and components thereof; return on equity or average stockholder’s equity; return on assets; market share; sales (net or gross) measured by product line, territory, customer(s), or other category; stock price; earnings per share; earnings from continuing operations; net worth; credit rating; levels of expense, cost or liability by category, operating unit or any other delineation; any increase or decrease of one or more of the foregoing over a specified period; or implementation or completion of critical projects. With respect to certain participants who are not named executive officers, these targets may also include such objective or subjective performance goals as the Compensation Committee may, from time to time, establish.
 
(3) Measuring Performance.  Prior to making any payments under the Bonus Plan, the Compensation Committee will certify whether the applicable performance factors were attained. In reaching its conclusions, the Compensation Committee will make certain adjustments as specified in the Bonus Plan. Such adjustments include but are not limited to issues such as changes in accounting principles, extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring events that were not included in the operating budget for the performance period (such as the disposition of a theatre or theatres or the cessation of operation of a theatre as a result of a natural disaster).

In March 2008, the Compensation Committee established performance criteria, performance targets and awards for our named executive officers for the 2008 fiscal year under the terms of the Bonus Plan. The 2008 awards provide for the payment of bonus compensation based on the achievement of Adjusted EBITDA financial metrics, which we believe reflect the effective implementation of the Company’s business plan and objectives in a manner that will be beneficial to stockholders and to the long-term financial health and development of our business. Each performance target under the 2008 awards had a threshold, target and maximum level of payment opportunity. Messers. Mitchell and Stock had a target opportunity of 100% of their individual 2008 base salary and Messers. Warner, Copple and Cavalier had a target opportunity of 75% of their individual 2008 base salary. The threshold opportunity for each of Messers. Mitchell, Stock, Warner, Copple and Cavalier was 33.3%, with the maximum payment opportunity equal to 133.3%, of the individual’s target opportunity. Each named executive officer was entitled to receive a ratable portion of his target bonus if we achieved Adjusted EBITDA within the specified parameters. The actual amount of bonuses paid, if any, may result in a bonus that is greater or less than the stated target (and could be zero) depending on whether, and to what extent, the applicable performance and other conditions are satisfied.
 
In February 2009, based on the Adjusted EBITDA target achieved by Cinemark Holdings, the Compensation Committee determined the cash incentive bonus for each of the named executive officers. The percentage at which the bonus was awarded was 107.6% of the target bonus for each named executive officer. The Compensation Committee set the Adjusted EBITDA target, which is determined before payment of bonuses, for purposes of the Bonus Plan for 2008, at $371.5 million. The Adjusted EBITDA target achieved by Cinemark Holdings for purposes of the Bonus Plan in 2008 was $375.8 million. The reported Adjusted EBITDA was $370.3 million after adjustment for payment of bonuses of $5.5 million. The amount of the cash bonus paid on March 2, 2009, to each of Messers. Mitchell, Stock, Warner, Copple and Cavalier under the Bonus Plan for the 2008 fiscal year are as follows:
 
         
Name
  Bonus Amount
 
Lee Roy Mitchell
  $ 855,241  
Alan Stock
  $ 649,303  
Tim Warner
  $ 356,837  
Robert Copple
  $ 335,846  
Michael Cavalier
  $ 272,875  
 
Long Term Equity Incentive Compensation
 
We believe that long-term performance is achieved through an ownership culture that encourages such performance by our executive officers through the use of stock and stock-based awards and aligns the employee’s interests with the interests of our stockholders. In addition, we believe we must be able to attract and retain highly qualified executive officers as leaders to ensure our success and that long term equity incentive compensation is a key factor to attract and retain such officers.
 
Cinemark Holdings’s long term equity incentive compensation under the Amended and Restated Cinemark Holdings, Inc. 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan or the Restated Plan, generally permits the Compensation Committee to grant, stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock units, performance awards or a mix of any such type of award. Pursuant to the Restated Plan, the grants of such equity awards are made before the end of the first quarter of the fiscal year and in 2008, the equity and performance based compensation awards were at a higher percentage of total compensation for the named executive officers compared to the other executive officers. These awards reward participants in slightly different ways as measured against increases in stockholder value. Stock options are issued with an exercise price equal to the fair market value of Holdings Common Stock on the date of grant. Accordingly, a recipient of stock options is rewarded only if the stock price increases after the dates of grant. Restricted shares, restricted stock units and performance awards are impacted by increases or decreases of stock price from the market price at the date of grant. Additionally, recipients of restricted stock awards are permitted to receive dividends on the restricted shares received to the extent dividends are paid by Cinemark Holdings on shares of Holdings Common Stock and to vote such Holdings Common Stock during the restriction period.

Table of Contents

Restricted Stock.  Restricted stock granted under the Restated Incentive Plan may be subject to time vesting or performance vesting requirements and may be subject to more than one vesting condition, as determined by the Compensation Committee. Annual grants of restricted stock units to the named executive officers may be based upon a percentage of such named executive’s annual base salary. Any dividends that are attributable to the underlying Common Stock relating to the restricted stock unit will be payable to the recipient when the established vesting conditions are satisfied. Periodic awards of restricted stock can be made at the discretion of the Compensation Committee to eligible employees. In 2008, Cinemark Holdings adopted a form of restricted stock agreement which serves to and our executives over the vesting period of the grant by conditioning delivery of the underlying shares on continued employment with the Company for the vesting period.
 
Performance Awards.  Performance awards entitle recipients to vest in or acquire shares of Common Stock based upon the attainment of specified performance goals established by the Compensation Committee. Performance awards and performance goals shall be based on one or more pre-established objective criteria that specify the number of shares of Common Stock under the performance award that will be granted or will vest if the performance goal is attained. During the first quarter of a fiscal year, the Compensation Committee approves the performance goal for each performance award. Common stock or restricted stock units received upon attainment of the performance goals under a performance award may be subject to additional time-based vesting conditions. Any dividends that are attributable to the underlying Common Stock relating to a performance award will be payable to the recipient when the established vesting conditions are satisfied.
 
Based on the Compensation Committee’s review of the long term incentive policies, in 2008 Cinemark Holdings adopted a form of performance share agreement. The total number of performance shares that may be awarded is based on an implied equity value concept that determines an internal rate of return during a three fiscal year period or the Performance Period based on a formula utilizing a multiple of adjusted EBITDA (subject to certain specified adjustments). Each performance target under the restricted stock unit awards will have a threshold, target and maximum level of payment opportunity, with the maximum payment opportunity equal to 150% of the individual’s target opportunity based upon an internal rate of return during such three year period or IRR. The Compensation Committee believes the performance targets further link our executive officer’s interests with those of Cinemark Holdings’s stockholders. The targets are established in writing by the Compensation Committee. The amount of shares an executive may receive on the vesting date cannot be determined at the date of grant because the payment of such compensation is contingent upon attainment of pre-established goals and the actual compensation to be paid to an executive officer may reflect the Compensation Committee’s discretion to reduce the incentive compensation payable upon attainment of the performance goal.
 
The following table sets forth the various IRR percentages and the number of corresponding hypothetical shares underlying the restricted share unit awards to be made to eligible participants:
 
     
IRR
 
Performance Shares Issuable
 
IRR equal to 8.5% but less than 10.5%
  331/3% of the maximum performance shares issuable
IRR equal to 10.5% but less than 12.5%
  662/3% of the maximum performance shares issuable
IRR equal to or greater than 12.5%
  100% of the maximum performance shares issuable
 
The shares each executive officer receives upon attainment of the specified performance targets are subject to further service based vesting for a period of one year beyond the calculation date. Restricted stock unit awards are eligible to receive dividend payments to the extent declared with respect to Holdings Common Stock if and at the time the restricted stock unit awards become vested.
 
Perquisites
 
With limited exceptions, the Compensation Committee’s policy is to provide benefits and perquisites to our named executive officers that are substantially the same as those offered to our other employees at or above the level of vice president. The benefits and perquisites that may be available in addition to those available to our other employees include life insurance premiums and long term disability insurance.

401(k) Plan
 
We sponsor a defined contribution savings plan, or 401(k) Plan, whereby certain employees may elect to contribute, in whole percentages between 1% and 50% of such employee’s compensation, provided no employee’s elective contribution shall exceed the amount permitted under Section 402(g) of the Code ($15,500 for 2008, $15,500 for 2007 and $15,000 for 2006). We may make an annual discretionary matching contribution up to a maximum of 6% of the employee’s annual contribution to the 401(k) Plan. In 2008, our annual discretionary matching contribution was 100% up to 3% and 75% for the remaining 3% of the employee’s contribution. For plan years beginning in 2002, our discretionary matching contributions immediately vest.
 
Summary of Compensation and Employment Agreements for our Named Executive Officers
 
In 2008, we entered into new employment agreements, or the New Employment Agreements, with Lee Roy Mitchell, Alan W. Stock, Timothy Warner, Robert Copple and Michael Cavalier. Each of Messers. Mitchell, Stock, Warner, Copple and Cavalier had an employment agreement with our principal subsidiary, Cinemark, Inc. which became effective as of March 12, 2004 or the Original Employment Agreements. The Old Employment Agreements were negotiated directly between the executives and MDP, and the forms of employment agreements were agreed upon in connection with the acquisition of 83% of our capital stock by MDP. In line with our compensation philosophy, the Company entered into the New Employment Agreements to more closely align our executives with market competitive compensation standards and agreements. In approving the New Employment Agreements, the Compensation Committee compared the employment agreements for similarly situated executives at Regal Entertainment Group, Inc., AMC and NCM. The New Employment Agreements replace the Original Employment Agreements. A summary of each New Employment Agreement is below:
 
Lee Roy Mitchell
 
The employment agreement between Mr. Mitchell and the Company originally was entered into as of May 14, 2004. Cinemark Holdings assumed Mr. Mitchell’s employment agreement effective as of December 15, 2008. The initial term of the employment agreement is three years, ending on December 14, 2011, subject to an automatic extension for a one-year period, unless the employment agreement is terminated. Mr. Mitchell will receive a base salary of $794,516 during 2008, which is subject to annual review for increase (but not decrease) each year by the Compensation Committee. In addition, Mr. Mitchell is eligible to receive an annual cash incentive bonus upon our meeting certain performance targets established by the Compensation Committee for the fiscal year. Mr. Mitchell qualifies for our 401(k) matching program and is also entitled to certain additional benefits including life insurance benefits of not less than $5 million, disability benefits of not less than 66% of base salary, a luxury automobile and a membership at a country club.
 
The employment agreement provides for severance payments upon termination of his employment, the amount and nature of which depends upon the reason for the termination of employment. If Mr. Mitchell resigns for good reason (as defined in the agreement) or is terminated by us without cause, Mr. Mitchell will receive, in a lump sum, subject to applicable Section 409A requirements: accrued compensation (which includes base salary and a pro rata bonus) through the date of termination; vacation pay and any vested equity awards and benefits such as retirement benefits, in accordance with the terms of the plan or agreement pursuant to which such equity awards or benefits were granted to Mr. Mitchell; an amount equal to Mr. Mitchell’s annual base salary in effect as of the date of such termination and an amount equal to the most recent annual bonus he received prior to the date of termination payable within 30 days of the end of the current fiscal year. Mr. Mitchell and his dependants will also be entitled to continue to participate in the Company’s welfare benefit plans and insurance programs for twelve (12) months from the termination date.
 
In the event Mr. Mitchell’s employment is terminated due to his death or disability, Mr. Mitchell or his estate will receive, in a lump sum: accrued compensation (which includes base salary and a pro rata bonus) through the date of termination; vacation pay and any vested equity awards and benefits such as retirement benefits, in accordance with the terms of the plan or agreement pursuant to which such equity awards or

(1) In 2008, the Compensation Committee recommended and the Cinemark Holdings Board approved a discretionary bonus outside of the incentive bonus program for the 2007 fiscal year. The decision of the Compensation Committee and the Cinemark Holdings Board was based in large part on the efforts made during 2007 to integrate Century Theatres into the Company, consummate the initial public offering of National CineMedia, Inc. and complete Cinemark Holdings’s initial public offering.
 
(2) These amounts represent the portion of the fair value of the performance shares and restricted shares recognized as compensation expense during fiscal year 2008 in accordance with SFAS 123(R), “Share Based Payment” or FAS 123R (disregarding estimate of forfeitures related to service based vesting conditions) and do not represent cash payments made to the individuals, amounts realized or amounts that may be realized. For FAS 123R purposes, we assumed the mid-point IRR for purposes of recording compensation expense over the vesting period. See Note 18 to the financials contained elsewhere in this prospectus, for details of the assumptions used in valuation of the restricted stock and performance shares. The actual value realized by the named executive officers with respect to the restricted share awards will depend on the market value of Holdings Common Stock on the date the restricted stock is vested. The actual value realized by the named executive officers with respect to the performance share awards will depend on the market value of Holdings Common Stock on the date the restricted stock unit is vested which will be issued only upon achievement of certain performance targets.

(3) These amounts represent the portion of the fair value of the options recognized as compensation expense during the fiscal years 2008, 2007 and 2006 for awards granted during 2004 based on the grant date fair value of the named executive officer’s option awards in accordance with SFAS 123(R) and do not reflect cash payments made to the applicable executive. During 2008, the Company reduced its estimated forfeiture rate based on actual cumulative stock option forfeitures and therefore recorded increased compensation expense on outstanding options during 2008. See Note 18 to the financials contained elsewhere in this prospectus, for details of the assumptions used in valuation of the options. The actual value realized by the named executive officers with respect to the option awards will depend on the difference between the market value of Holdings Common Stock on the date the option is exercised and the exercise price.
 
(4) Bonuses earned in a fiscal year are paid in March of the following year. The 2008 bonuses were earned under the Bonus Plan approved by the stockholders of Cinemark Holdings at the 2008 annual meeting and were paid on March 2, 2009. No bonuses were earned in 2007 under the incentive bonus program since Cinemark Holdings did not meet the minimum Adjusted EBITDA threshold established by Cinemark Holdings Board.
 
(5) Represents an annual matching contribution to Mr. Mitchell’s 401(k) savings plan ($12,075 in 2008, $11,813 in 2007 and $11,550 in 2006), value of the use of a Company vehicle for one year ($18,417 in 2008, $10,250 for each of 2007 and 2006) and the dollar value of life insurance premiums and disability insurance paid by us for the benefit of Mr. Mitchell ($100,145 in 2008, $101,743 in 2007 and $2,901 in 2006).

(1) In March 2008, the Compensation Committee established performance criteria, performance targets and awards for our named executive officers for the 2008 fiscal year under the terms of the Bonus Plan which was approved by Cinemark Holdings’s stockholders at the 2008 annual meeting. Each performance target under the 2008 awards has a threshold, target and maximum level of payment opportunity, with the target payment opportunity equal to 33.3% and the maximum payment opportunity equal to 133.3% of the individual’s target bonus. The Compensation Committee approved the 2008 bonuses for the named executive officers on February 27, 2008 and the bonuses were paid on March 2, 2009. See the section on Compensation Discussion and Analysis for a description of the bonus process under the Bonus Plan for each named executive officer and the Summary Compensation Table for the actual bonus amounts paid to each named executive officer for the 2008 fiscal year.
 
(2) In March 2008, the Compensation Committee approved performance awards in the form of restricted stock units for an aggregate maximum of 113,456 hypothetical shares of restricted stock to our named executive officers, except Mr. Mitchell, who, the Compensation Committee determined, had sufficient equity ownership to align his interests with the interests of the stockholders. Such grants were effective and the number of shares subject to each award was determined in part by reference to the closing price of the Common Stock on March 28, 2008 at $12.89 per share. Such shares vest based on a combination of financial performance factors and continued service. The Performance Period for the 2008 restricted stock unit awards ends December 31, 2010. Each performance target under the restricted stock unit awards will have a threshold, target and maximum level of payment opportunity, with the maximum payment opportunity equal to 150% of the individual’s target opportunity. If the IRR for the three year period is at least 8.5% (threshold), 331/3% of the maximum restricted stock units will vest. If the IRR for the three year period is at least 10.5% (target), 662/3% of the maximum restricted stock units will vest. If the IRR for the three year period is at least 12.5% or greater (maximum), 100% of the maximum restricted stock units will vest. All payouts of restricted stock units that vest will be in the form of restricted stock that will vest if the participant continues to provide services through March 28, 2012 (the fourth anniversary of the grant date). The restricted stock unit awards granted with respect to the performance awards were made pursuant to the Restated Incentive Plan, contingent on stockholder approval. The Restated Incentive Plan was approved by the stockholders at the 2008 annual meeting. Restricted stock unit awards are eligible to receive dividend equivalent payments to the extent declared with respect to our Common Stock if and at the time the restricted stock unit awards become vested. The 2008 compensation expense for such shares for financial reporting purposes by the Company is included in the Summary Compensation Table in the column labeled “Stock Awards” and the valuation assumptions are referenced in Footnote of that table.
 
(3) In March 2008, the Compensation Committee approved restricted share awards for an aggregate of 75,638 shares of restricted stock to our named executive officers, except Mr. Mitchell, under our Restated

Incentive Plan. Such grants were effective and the number of shares subject to each award was determined by reference to the closing price of Holdings Common Stock on March 28, 2008 at $12.89 per share. Such shares vest based on continued service as follows: 50% on March 28, 2010 and the remaining 50% on March 28, 2012. Dividends were paid on the restricted stock at the rate of $0.18 per share. The dividend rate was the same as paid to other stockholders of Cinemark Holdings. The 2008 compensation expense for such shares for financial reporting purposes by the Company is included in the Summary Compensation Table in the column labeled “Stock Awards” and the valuation assumptions are referenced in Footnote of that table.

(1) The amounts reported are calculated as follows: two times the annual base salary in effect as of December 31, 2008.
 
(2) The amounts reported are calculated as follows: the sum of the annual bonus the executive would have received for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and the annual bonus received by the executive for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. See Footnote 1 to Summary Compensation Table.
 
(3) The amounts reported are calculated as follows: welfare benefit plans and insurance programs for a period of 12 months for Mr. Lee Roy Mitchell and 24 months for Messers. Stock, Warner, Copple and Cavalier. Disability insurance includes premiums for long-term disability, individual disability income protection and short-term disability.
 
(4) Lee Roy Mitchell is entitled to receive tax preparation assistance for five years following the date of termination. We estimate the cost of such preparation to be approximately $17,300 per year for five years. Messers Stock, Warner, Copple and Cavalier are entitled to use our office space for a period of three months following the date of termination. We estimate the amount to be approximately $792 for the use of a 144 square foot office at a rental rate of approximately $22 per square foot per annum.
 
(5) The amounts reported have been determined based on the following provision in the respective employment agreements. Upon termination by us without cause or by the named executive officer for good reason, all outstanding options shall be vested and/or exercisable. The number of options that would have vested in each named executive officer on December 31, 2008 is as follows: 909,735 for Alan Stock, 909,735 for Tim Warner, 909,735 for Robert Copple and 591,327 for Michael Cavalier.
 
In addition, any outstanding equity award with time based vesting provisions shall be vested on a prorata basis. Any equity awards with performance based vesting provisions shall remain outstanding through the remainder of the applicable performance period (without regard to any continued employment requirement) and if or to the extent the performance provisions are attained shall become vested without regard to any continued employment requirement on a pro rata basis. The pro rata basis for the equity awards is based on the percentage determined by dividing (i) the number of days from and including the grant date of such equity award through the termination date of the executive’s employment, by (ii) the number of days from the grant date to the full vesting date/end of the applicable performance period, as applicable, of such equity awards. Based on the above provision, the total number of equity awards that would have vested in each named executive officer on December 31, 2008 is as follows: restricted stock — 5,556 for Alan Stock, 3,257 for Tim Warner, 3,065 for Robert Copple and 2,490 for Michael Cavalier; and performance shares — 16,670 for Alan Stock, 9,772 for Tim Warner, 9,197 for Robert Copple and 7,472 for Michael Cavalier. The number of performance shares that would vest has been determined based on the assumption that the maximum IRR would be achieved over the vesting period. See Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table and Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End Table.
 
The values of the equity awards have been calculated on the basis of the closing price of Holdings Common Stock on December 31, 2008 at $7.43. The amounts reported do not include the value of options vested and exercisable at December 31, 2008. The closing price of Holdings Common Stock on


102


Table of Contents

December 31, 2008 ($7.43) was less than the option exercise price of $7.63 per share. Therefore, the options were not in the money at December 31, 2008 and consequently no value would have been realized by Messers. Stock, Warner, Copple and Cavalier upon exercise of all outstanding options following termination due to death or disability on December 31, 2008. Therefore, the values of the options have not been included in the amounts reported.
 
Potential Payments upon Termination for Cause
 
If a named executive officer terminates his employment voluntarily, or is terminated for cause, we are only required to pay such named executive officer any accrued unpaid base salary through the date of such termination.
 
Potential Payments upon Termination due to Change of Control
 
The employment agreements with the named executive officers will require us to provide compensation to named executive officers in the event of a termination of employment within one year of a change of control by us or by executive for good reason. There is no change of control provision in Mr. Mitchell’s employment agreement. The amount of compensation payable to Messers. Stock, Warner, Copple and Cavalier upon such termination is listed in the table below assuming such triggering event occurred on December 31, 2008.

(2) The amounts reported are calculated as follows: the sum of the annual bonus the executive would have received for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 and one and a half times the annual bonus received by the executive for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007. See Footnote 1 to Summary Compensation Table.
 
(3) The amounts reported are calculated as follows: welfare benefit plans and insurance programs for 30 months for Messers. Stock, Warner, Copple and Cavalier. Disability insurance includes premiums for long-term disability, individual disability income protection and short-term disability.

(5) The amounts reported have been determined based on the following provision in the respective employment agreements. Upon termination due to change of control, any outstanding equity award granted to the executive shall be fully vested and exercisable and all restrictions lapse. Based on the above provision, the total number of equity awards that would have vested on an accelerated basis in each named executive officer on December 31, 2008 are as follows: restricted stock — 29,247 for Alan Stock, 17,145 for Tim Warner, 16,136 for Robert Copple and 13,110 for Michael Cavalier; performance shares — 43,870 for Alan Stock, 25,717 for Tim Warner, 24,204 for Robert Copple and 19,665 for Michael Cavalier; options — 909,735 for Alan Stock, 909,735 for Tim Warner, 909,735 for Robert Copple and 591,327 for Michael Cavalier. The number of performance shares that would vest has been determined based on the assumption that the maximum IRR would be achieved over the vesting period. See Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table and Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year End Table.
 
The values of the equity awards have been calculated on the basis of the closing price of Holdings Common Stock on December 31, 2008 at $7.43. The reported amounts do not include the values of the vested and exercisable options. See Footnote 5 to Potential Payments upon Termination by us Without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason Table.

(1) The amounts reported are the annual base salary of each executive in effect as of December 31, 2008.
 
(2) The amounts reported are the annual bonus each executive would have received for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008. See Summary Compensation Table.
 
(3) The amounts reported are calculated as follows: welfare benefit plans and insurance programs for a period of 12 months for Messers. Mitchell, Stock, Warner, Copple and Cavalier. Disability insurance includes premiums for long-term disability, individual disability income protection and short-term disability.
 
(4) Pursuant to the respective employment agreement of each named executive officer, upon termination due to death or disability, the executive or executive’s estate or representative shall be entitled to receive any previously vested equity awards. Additionally, pursuant to the Restated Plan, upon death or disability, the lesser of, (a) an additional twenty percent (20%) of the shares of Holdings Common Stock covered by an individual option or restricted award and (b) the remaining amount of unvested shares of Holdings Common Stock covered by the option or restricted award shall become vested and exercisable. Pursuant to the above, the total number of equity awards that would have vested and be exercisable upon death or disability of each named executive officer would be as follows: restricted stock — 5,849 for Alan Stock, 3,429 for Tim Warner, 3,227 for Robert Copple and 2,622 for Michael Cavalier; options — 909,735 for Alan Stock, 909,735 for Tim Warner, 909,735 for Robert Copple and 591,327 for Michael Cavalier.

See Footnote 5 to Potential Payments upon Termination by us Without Cause or by Executive for Good Reason Table.
 
Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m)
 
Section 162(m) of the Code, as amended disallows a tax deduction for any publicly held corporation for individual compensation exceeding $1 million in any taxable year for certain senior executive officers, except for compensation that is performance-based under a plan that is approved by the stockholders and that meets certain other technical requirements. While Section 162(m) does not apply to us, it applies to Cinemark Holdings. Section 162(m) will not prevent us from receiving a tax deduction in 2007 for any of the compensation paid to our named executive officers. While we consider the potential impact of Section 162(m) on our compensation decisions, we may approve compensation for an executive officer that does not meet the deductibility requirements of Section 162(m) in the future in order to maintain competitive compensation packages and attract talented leaders. The payment to Mr. Stock under the Profit Participation Agreement and termination thereof (See — “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions”) is not subject to

Table of Contents

Section 162(m) deductibility limits by reason of certain transition rules applicable to newly public companies. We do not intend to enter into similar arrangements with any of our executive officers in the future.
 
Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation
 
We do not have a compensation committee. None of our executive officers served as a member of the board of directors or the compensation committee of any entity that has one or more executive officers serving on our Board or on the Compensation Committee of the board of directors of Cinemark Holdings. Messers. Chereskin and Dombalagian served as the members of the Compensation Committee of Cinemark Holdings during the last completed fiscal year.

SECURITY OWNERSHIP OF CERTAIN BENEFICIAL OWNERS AND MANAGEMENT AND RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS
 
All of our outstanding common stock is beneficially owned by Cinemark Holdings, through its wholly owned subsidiary Cinemark, Inc. The following table presents information regarding beneficial ownership of Holdings Common Stock as of December 1, 2009 by:
 
  •  each person known by us to beneficially hold five percent or more of Holdings Common Stock;
 
  •  each of Cinemark Holdings’s directors;
 
  •  each of Cinemark Holdings’s named executive officers; and
 
  •  all of Cinemark Holdings’s executive officers and directors as a group.
 
Beneficial ownership has been determined in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations, promulgated under the Exchange Act. Unless indicated below, to our knowledge, the persons and entities named in the table have sole voting and sole investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned, subject to community property laws where applicable.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
The Cinemark Holdings Board has adopted a policy supplementing our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics relating to the review, approval and ratification of transactions between us and “related parties” as generally defined by applicable rules under the Securities Act. The policy covers any related party transaction in which the amount involved exceeds $0.12 million. The Cinemark Holdings Board has determined that the Audit Committee is best suited to review and approve related party transactions, although in certain circumstances the Cinemark Holdings Board may determine that a particular related party transaction be reviewed and approved by a majority of disinterested directors. At such Audit Committee meetings, management shall recommend any related party transactions to be entered into by Cinemark Holdings or any of its subsidiaries. If management becomes aware of a proposed or existing related party transaction that has not been pre-approved by the Audit Committee, management shall promptly notify the Chairman of the Audit Committee who shall submit such related party transaction to the Audit Committee for approval or ratification if the Audit Committee determines that such transaction is fair to Cinemark Holdings or the applicable subsidiary. If management, in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or General Counsel determines that it is not practicable to wait until the next Audit Committee meeting, the Chairman of the Audit Committee has been delegated the authority during this period to review, consider and approve any such transaction. In such event, the Chairman of the Audit Committee shall report any related party transaction approved by him or her at the next Audit Committee meeting. The Audit Committee may establish guidelines it determines are necessary and appropriate for management to follow in dealings with related parties and related party transactions. The procedures followed in considering a related party transaction are evidenced in the resolutions and minutes of the meeting of the Audit Committee or the Cinemark Holdings Board, as applicable.

the Company, and his wife, Tandy Mitchell own the membership interests of Copper Beech Capital. Prior to the execution of the Aircraft Agreement, we had an informal agreement with Copper Beech Capital to use, on occasion, a private aircraft owned by Copper Beech Capital. The private aircraft is used by Mr. Mitchell and other executives who accompany Mr. Mitchell to business meetings on behalf of the Company. The Aircraft Agreement specifies the maximum amount that Copper Beech Capital can charge us under the applicable regulations of the Federal Aviation Administration for the use of the aircraft and flight crew. We will pay Copper Beech Capital the direct costs and expenses related to fuel, pilots, landing fees, storage fees, insurance obtained for the specific flight, flight planning, weather contract services and expenses such as in-flight food and beverage services and passenger ground transportation incurred during a trip. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2008, the aggregate amounts paid to Copper Beech Capital for the use of the aircraft was approximately $0.14 million.

DESCRIPTION OF EXCHANGE NOTES
 
You can find the definitions of certain terms used in this description under the subheading “— Certain Definitions.” In this description, the word “Company” refers only to Cinemark USA, Inc. and not to any of its subsidiaries or its Parent Entities.
 
The Company issued the Initial Notes, and will issue the Exchange Notes, under an indenture dated June 29, 2009, among itself, the Guarantors and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A., as trustee subject to the registration requirements of the Securities Act. The terms of the Exchange Notes include those stated in the indenture and those made part of the indenture by reference to the Trust Indenture Act of 1939, as amended or the Trust Indenture Act. The aggregate principal amount of Exchange Notes issuable under the indenture is unlimited, although the issuance of Exchange Notes in this exchange offering will be limited to an aggregate principal amount of $470,000,000. The form of Exchange Notes will be identical in all material respects to that of the Initial Notes except that the Exchange Notes have been registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, will not bear legends restricting their transfer and the registration rights will not apply to the Exchange Notes. The Exchange Notes will not represent new indebtedness of the Company. We may issue an unlimited principal amount of additional notes having identical terms and conditions as the Notes, subject to our compliance with the covenants contained in the indenture. Any additional notes will be part of the same issue as the Notes and will vote on all matters with the holders of the notes.
 
The following description is a summary of the material provisions of the indenture. It does not restate those agreements in their entirety. We urge you to read the indenture because it, and not this description, defines your rights as holders of the Exchange Notes. Certain defined terms used in this description but not defined below under “— Certain Definitions” have the meanings assigned to them in the indenture.
 
The registered Holder of an Exchange Note will be treated as the owner of it for all purposes. Only registered Holders will have rights under the indenture.
 
Brief Description of the Exchange Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees
 
The Exchange Notes will:
 
  •  be general senior unsecured obligations of the Company;
 
  •  be limited to an aggregate principal amount of $470,000,000, subject to our ability to issue additional notes;
 
  •  mature on June 15, 2019;
 
  •  rank equal in right of payment with any existing and future Senior Debt of the Company, including Indebtedness of the Company under the Credit Agreement;
 
  •  be structurally subordinated to Indebtedness and other liabilities, including trade payables, of the Company’s non-Guarantor Subsidiaries;
 
  •  rank effectively junior in right of payment to any secured Indebtedness of the Company to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that Indebtedness, including Indebtedness of the Company under the Credit Agreement which is secured by a pledge of the Capital Stock of certain of the Company’s domestic subsidiaries and by certain of the Company’s real property and substantially all of the Company’s personal and intangible property; and
 
  •  rank senior in right of payment to all existing and future subordinated Indebtedness of the Company.
 
The Exchange Notes will be guaranteed by each of the Company’s Restricted Subsidiaries that guarantees any of the Company’s or a Guarantors’ Indebtedness.
 
Each Subsidiary Guarantee will:
 
  •  be a general senior unsecured obligation of such Guarantor;


110


Table of Contents

 
  •  rank equal in right of payment with any existing and future Senior Debt of such Guarantor, including the guarantee by such Guarantor of the Credit Agreement;
 
  •  be effectively junior in right of payment to any secured Indebtedness of such Guarantor to the extent of the value of the collateral securing that Indebtedness, including the guarantee by such Guarantor of Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement; and
 
  •  rank senior in right of payment to any existing and future subordinated Indebtedness of such Guarantor.
 
At September 30, 2009, after issuance of the Initial Notes, the Company had total Senior Debt of approximately $1,557.7 million and total subordinated Indebtedness of approximately $0.2 million. As of September 30, 2009, the Guarantors had total Senior Debt of approximately $1,556.4 million (including their Guarantees of the Credit Agreement and the Initial Notes) and total subordinated Indebtedness of approximately $0.2 million. Subject to certain limitations, the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries may incur other Indebtedness in the future, including secured Indebtedness. Moreover, the indenture does not impose any limitation on the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of liabilities that are not considered Indebtedness under the indenture.
 
Not all of our subsidiaries will Guarantee the Exchange Notes. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2009, the non-guarantor Subsidiaries generated in the aggregate approximately $320.0 million, or 22.2%, of our consolidated revenues. As of September 30, 2009, our non-guarantor Subsidiaries on a combined basis accounted for $667.2 million, or 21.0%, of our consolidated total assets and the Indebtedness and other liabilities (other than Indebtedness and other liabilities owed to the Company or a Guarantor) of the nonguarantor Subsidiaries were approximately $178.2 million, and the Exchange Notes would have been structurally subordinated to such Indebtedness and other liabilities. The indenture permits, subject to certain significant limitations, the Company’s non-guarantor subsidiaries to incur additional Indebtedness and other liabilities. In the event of a bankruptcy, liquidation or reorganization of any of the Company’s nonguarantor Subsidiaries, such Subsidiaries will pay the holders of their debt and their trade creditors before they will be able to distribute any of their assets to the Company or any Guarantor.
 
As of the Issue Date, all of the Company’s Subsidiaries other than Cinemark Media, Inc. will be “Restricted Subsidiaries.” However, under the circumstances described below under the subheading “— Certain Covenants — Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries,” the Company will be permitted to designate additional Subsidiaries as “Unrestricted Subsidiaries.” The Company’s Unrestricted Subsidiaries will not be subject to many of the restrictive covenants in the indenture. Unrestricted Subsidiaries and certain Restricted Subsidiaries will not guarantee the Exchange Notes. Cinemark Media, Inc. conducts no independent operations and its sole assets are its ownership interests in National CineMedia, Inc. and Digital Cinema Implementation Partners LLC.
 
Principal, Maturity and Interest
 
The Company will issue Exchange Notes with an initial maximum aggregate principal amount of $470,000,000. The Company may issue additional notes from time to time after this offering. Any offering of additional notes is subject to the covenant described below under the caption “— Certain Covenants — Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock.” The Notes and any additional notes subsequently issued under the indenture will be treated as a single class for all purposes under the indenture, including, without limitation, waivers, amendments, redemptions and offers to purchase. The Company will issue Exchange Notes in denominations of $2,000 and integral multiples of $1,000 in excess thereof. The Exchange Notes will mature on June 15, 2019.
 
Interest on the Exchange Note will accrue at a rate of 8.625% per annum and will be payable semiannually in arrears on June 15 and December 15, commencing on December 15, 2009. We will pay interest to those persons who were Holders of record on the June 1 and December 1 immediately preceding the related interest payment dates. Interest on the Exchange Notes will accrue from the date of original issuance or, if interest has already been paid, from the date it was most recently paid. Interest will be computed on the basis of a 360-day year comprised of twelve 30-day months.

Methods of Receiving Payments on the Exchange Notes
 
If a Holder has given wire transfer instructions to the Company, the Company will pay all principal, interest and premium and Additional Interest, if any, on that Holder’s Exchange Notes in accordance with those instructions. All other payments on the Exchange Notes will be made at the office or agency of the paying agent and registrar within the City and State of New York unless the Company elects to make interest payments by check mailed to the Holders at their address set forth in the register of Holders.
 
Paying Agent and Registrar for the Exchange Notes
 
The trustee will initially act as paying agent and registrar. The Company may change the paying agent or registrar without prior notice to the Holders of the Exchange Notes, and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries may act as paying agent or registrar.
 
Transfer and Exchange
 
A Holder may transfer or exchange Exchange Notes in accordance with the indenture. The registrar and the trustee may require a Holder to furnish appropriate endorsements and transfer documents in connection with a transfer. Holders will be required to pay all taxes due on transfer. The Company is not required to transfer or exchange any Exchange Note selected for redemption. Also, the Company is not required to transfer or exchange any Exchange Note for a period of 15 days before a selection of Exchange Notes to be redeemed.
 
Subsidiary Guarantees
 
The Exchange Notes will be guaranteed by each of the Company’s current and future Restricted Subsidiaries that guarantees, assumes or in any other manner becomes liable with respect to any Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor. The Guarantors will, jointly and severally, unconditionally guarantee on a senior unsecured basis the Company’s obligations under the Exchange Note and all obligations under the indenture. The Guarantors will agree to pay, in addition to the amount stated above, any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) incurred by the trustee or the Holders in enforcing any rights under the Subsidiary Guarantees. The obligations of the Guarantors under the Subsidiary Guarantees will rank equally in right of payment with other Indebtedness of such Guarantor, except to the extent such other Indebtedness is expressly subordinated to the obligations arising under the Subsidiary Guarantees.
 
The obligations of each Guarantor under its Subsidiary Guarantee will be limited as necessary to prevent that Subsidiary Guarantee from constituting a fraudulent conveyance or fraudulent transfer under applicable law.
 
A Guarantor may not sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of its assets to, or consolidate with or merge with or into (whether or not such Guarantor is the surviving Person), another Person, other than the Company or another Guarantor, unless:
 
(1) immediately after giving effect to the transaction, no Default or Event of Default exists; and
 
(2) either:
 
(a) the Person acquiring the property in any such sale or disposition or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger assumes all the obligations of that Guarantor under the indenture (including its Subsidiary Guarantee) and the registration rights agreement pursuant to a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the trustee; or
 
(b) such sale or other disposition complies with the provisions of the covenant described under the caption “— Repurchase at the Option of Holders — Asset Sales.”
 
The Subsidiary Guarantee of a Guarantor will be released:
 
(1) in connection with any sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of that Guarantor (including by way of merger or consolidation) to a Person that is not (either before or after


112


Table of Contents

giving effect to such transaction) a Subsidiary of the Company, if the sale or other disposition complies with the applicable provisions of the indenture; or
 
(2) in connection with any sale, exchange or transfer of the Capital Stock of a Guarantor, after which such Guarantor is no longer a Subsidiary of the Company, so long as the sale, exchange or transfer is made in compliance with the applicable provisions of the indenture; or
 
(3) if the Company designates any Restricted Subsidiary that is a Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary in accordance with the applicable provisions of the indenture; or
 
(4) upon the discharge of the Exchange Notes in accordance with the legal defeasance provisions of the indenture; or
 
(5) upon the release, termination or satisfaction of the Guarantor’s guarantee or assumption of certain other Indebtedness as more particularly described in the covenant under the caption “— Certain Covenants — Future Guarantors.”
 
Optional Redemption
 
Except as described below, the Exchange Notes will not be redeemable at the Company’s option prior to June 15, 2014.
 
At any time prior to June 15, 2012, the Company may on any one or more occasions redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of Exchange Notes issued under the indenture (including any additional notes) at a redemption price of 108.625% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the redemption date, with the net cash proceeds of one or more Equity Offerings by the Company, provided that:
 
(1) at least 65% of the principal amount of Exchange Notes issued under the indenture (including any additional notes) remains outstanding immediately after the occurrence of such redemption (excluding Exchange Notes held by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries); and
 
(2) the redemption occurs within 90 days of the date of the closing of such Equity Offering.
 
On and after June 15, 2014 the Company may redeem all or a part of the Exchange Notes upon not less than 30 nor more than 60 days’ notice except that a redemption notice may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Exchange Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the indenture, at the redemption prices (expressed as percentages of principal amount) set forth below plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Exchange Notes redeemed, to the applicable redemption date, if redeemed during the twelve-month period beginning on June 15 of the years indicated below:

In addition, at any time and from time to time prior to June 15, 2014, the Company may, at its option, redeem all or a portion of the Exchange Notes at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount thereof plus the Applicable Premium with respect to the Exchange Notes plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, thereon to the redemption date. Notice of such redemption must be mailed to holders of the Exchange


113


Table of Contents

Notes called for redemption not less than 30 nor more than 60 days prior to the redemption date. The notice need not set forth the Applicable Premium but only the manner of calculation of the redemption price.

“Adjusted Treasury Rate” means, with respect to any redemption date, (i) the yield, under the heading which represents the average for the immediately preceding week, appearing in the most recently published statistical release designated “H.15(519)” or any successor publication which is published weekly by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and which establishes yields on actively traded United States Treasury securities adjusted to constant maturity under the caption “Treasury Constant Maturities” for the maturity corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue with respect to the Exchange Notes called for redemption (if no maturity is within three months before or after June 15, 2014, yields for the two published maturities most closely corresponding to the Comparable Treasury Issue shall be determined and the Adjusted Treasury Rate shall be interpolated or extrapolated from such yields on a straight line basis, rounding to the nearest month) or (ii) if such release (or any successor release) is not published during the week preceding the calculation date or does not contain such yields, the rate per year equal to the semi-annual equivalent yield to maturity of the Comparable Treasury Issue (expressed as a percentage of its principal amount) equal to the Comparable Treasury Price for such redemption date, in each case calculated on the third business day immediately preceding the redemption date, plus, in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii), 0.50%.
 
“Applicable Premium” means, at any redemption date, the excess of (A) the present value at such redemption date of (1) the redemption price of the Exchange Notes on June 15, 2014 (such redemption price being described above in the third paragraph of this “— Optional Redemption” section) plus (2) all required remaining scheduled interest payments due on the Exchange Notes through June 15, 2014 (excluding accrued and unpaid interest), computed using a discount rate equal to the Adjusted Treasury Rate, over (B) the principal amount of the Exchange Notes on such redemption date.
 
“Comparable Treasury Issue” means the United States Treasury security selected by the Quotation Agent as having a maturity comparable to the remaining term from the redemption date to June 15, 2014, that would be utilized, at the time of selection and in accordance with customary financial practice, in pricing new issues of corporate debt securities of a maturity most nearly equal to June 15, 2014.
 
“Comparable Treasury Price” means, with respect to any redemption date, if clause (ii) of the Adjusted Treasury Rate is applicable, the average of three, or such lesser number as is obtained by the trustee, Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations for the redemption date.
 
“Quotation Agent” means the Reference Treasury Dealer selected by the trustee after consultation with the Company.
 
“Reference Treasury Dealer” means any three nationally recognized investment banking firms selected by the Company that are primary dealers of Government Securities.
 
“Reference Treasury Dealer Quotations” means, with respect to each Reference Treasury Dealer and any redemption date, the average, as determined by the trustee, of the bid and asked prices for the Comparable Treasury Issue with respect to the Exchange Notes, expressed in each case as a percentage of its principal amount, quoted in writing to the trustee by such Reference Treasury Dealer at 5:00 p.m., New York City time, on the third business day immediately preceding the redemption date.

(2) if the Exchange Notes are not listed on any national securities exchange, on a pro rata basis, by lot or by such method as the trustee deems fair and appropriate.
 
No Exchange Notes of $2,000 in aggregate principal amount or less can be redeemed in part. Except as otherwise specified, notices of redemption will be mailed by first class mail at least 30 but not more than 60 days before the redemption date to each Holder of Exchange Notes to be redeemed at its registered address, except that redemption notices may be mailed more than 60 days prior to a redemption date if the notice is issued in connection with a defeasance of the Exchange Notes or a satisfaction and discharge of the indenture. Notices of redemption may not be conditional.
 
If any Exchange Note is to be redeemed in part only, the notice of redemption that relates to that Exchange Note will state the portion of the principal amount of that Exchange Note that is to be redeemed. A new Exchange Note in principal amount equal to the unredeemed portion of the original Exchange Note will be issued in the name of the Holder of Exchange Notes upon cancellation of the original Exchange Note. Notes called for redemption become due on the date fixed for redemption. On and after the redemption date, interest and Additional Interest, if any, will cease to accrue on Exchange Notes or portions of them called for redemption.
 
Mandatory Redemption
 
The Company is not required to make mandatory redemption or sinking fund payments with respect to the notes.
 
Repurchase at the Option of Holders
 
Change of Control
 
If a Change of Control occurs, the Company will be required to make an offer or a Change of Control Offer to each Holder of Exchange Note to repurchase all or any part (equal to $1,000 in principal amount or an integral multiple thereof ) of that Holder’s Exchange Notes on the terms set forth in the indenture. In the Change of Control Offer, the Company will offer a payment in cash or the Change of Control Payment equal to 101% of the principal amount of the Exchange Notes repurchased plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, on the Exchange Notes repurchased to the date of purchase or a Change of Control Payment Date. Within thirty (30) days following any Change of Control, the Company will mail a notice to each Holder describing the transaction or transactions that constitute the Change of Control and offering to repurchase Exchange Notes on the Change of Control Payment Date specified in the notice, which date will be no earlier than 30 days and no later than 60 days from the date such notice is mailed, pursuant to the procedures required by the indenture and described in such notice.
 
On the Change of Control Payment Date, the Company will, to the extent lawful:
 
(1) accept for payment all Exchange Notes or portions of Exchange Notes properly tendered pursuant to the Change of Control Offer;
 
(2) deposit with the paying agent an amount equal to the Change of Control Payment in respect of all Exchange Notes or portions of Exchange Notes properly tendered; and
 
(3) deliver or cause to be delivered to the trustee the Exchange Notes properly accepted together with an officers’ certificate stating the aggregate principal amount of Exchange Notes or portions of Exchange Notes being purchased by the Company.
 
The paying agent will promptly mail to each Holder of Exchange Notes properly tendered the Change of Control Payment for such Exchange Notes, and the trustee will promptly authenticate and mail (or cause to be transferred by book entry) to each Holder a new Exchange Note equal in principal amount to any unpurchased portion of the Exchange Notes surrendered, if any; provided that each new Exchange Note will be in a principal amount of $2,000 or an integral multiple of $1,000 in excess thereof.

Table of Contents

If the Change of Control Payment Date is on or after an interest payment record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, will be paid to the Holder in whose name a Exchange Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no other interest or Additional Interest, if any, will be payable to Holders who tender pursuant to the Change of Control Offer.
 
The provisions described above that require the Company to make a Change of Control Offer following a Change of Control will be applicable whether or not any other provisions of the indenture are applicable. Except as described above with respect to a Change of Control, the indenture does not contain provisions that permit the Holders of the Exchange Notes to require that the Company repurchase or redeem the Exchange Notes in the event of a takeover, recapitalization or similar transaction.
 
The Company will not be required to make a Change of Control Offer upon a Change of Control if a third party makes the Change of Control Offer in the manner, at the times and otherwise in compliance with the requirements set forth in the indenture applicable to a Change of Control Offer made by the Company and purchases all Exchange Notes properly tendered and not withdrawn under the Change of Control Offer or if an irrevocable notice of redemption has been given pursuant to the indenture in accordance with the provisions set forth under the caption “— Optional Redemption.”
 
The definition of Change of Control includes a phrase relating to the direct or indirect sale, lease, transfer, conveyance or other disposition of “all or substantially all” of the properties or assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole to any person other than a Permitted Holder. Although there is a limited body of case law interpreting the phrase “substantially all,” there is no precise established definition of the phrase under applicable law. Accordingly, in certain circumstances there may be a degree of uncertainty as to whether a particular transaction would involve a disposition of “all or substantially all” of the property or assets of a Person. As a result, it may be unclear as to whether a Change of Control has occurred and whether a Holder of Exchange Notes may require the Company to make a Change of Control Offer.
 
The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Exchange Notes pursuant to a Change of Control Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Change of Control provisions of the indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Change of Control provisions of the indenture by virtue of such conflict.
 
Asset Sales
 
The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, consummate an Asset Sale unless:
 
(1) the Company (or the Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be) receives consideration at least equal to the fair market value of the assets or Equity Interests issued or sold or otherwise disposed of (such fair market value to be determined in good faith by the Company on the date of contractually agreeing to such Asset Sale); and
 
(2) at least 75% of the consideration received in the Asset Sale by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary is in the form of cash or Cash Equivalents. For purposes of this clause (2) only, each of the following will be deemed to be cash:
 
(a) the amount of any liabilities, as shown on the Company’s or such Restricted subsidiary’s most recent balance sheet, of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary (other than contingent liabilities and liabilities that are by their terms subordinated to the Exchange Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee) that are assumed by the transferee of any such assets pursuant to a customary novation agreement or by operation of law that releases the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from further liability;


116


Table of Contents

(b) any securities, Exchange Notes or other obligations received by the Company or any such Restricted Subsidiary from such transferee that are converted by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary into cash within 180 days of the closing of the related Asset Sale, to the extent of the cash received in that conversion; and
 
(c) any Designated Non-cash Consideration received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary in such Asset Sale having an aggregate fair market value, taken together with all other Designated Non-cash Consideration received pursuant to this clause (c) at that time outstanding, not to exceed 2.0% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets at the time of the receipt of such Designated Non-cash Consideration, with the fair market value of each item of Designated Non-cash Consideration being measured at the time received and without giving effect to subsequent changes in value.
 
Within 365 days after the receipt of any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale, the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary may apply those Net Proceeds at its option to:
 
(1) permanently repay Senior Debt of the Company or any Guarantor and, if the Senior Debt repaid is revolving credit Indebtedness, to correspondingly reduce commitments with respect thereto; provided that, if such Senior Debt being repaid consists of Indebtedness not secured by a Lien, the Exchange Notes are reduced or repurchased (including through open-market purchases to the extent such purchases are at or above 100% of the principal amount thereof ) on a pro rata basis with such other Senior Debt (based on the aggregate principal amount or accreted value, as applicable, thereof) with the Net Proceeds from the Asset Sale;
 
(2) permanently repay Indebtedness of a non-Guarantor Restricted Subsidiary of the Company (other than Indebtedness owed to the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary);
 
(3) acquire all or substantially all of the assets of, or a majority of the Voting Stock of, another Permitted Business (or a division or unit thereof);
 
(4) make a capital expenditure relating to an asset used or useful in a Permitted Business; or
 
(5) acquire other long-term assets that are used or useful in a Permitted Business;
 
provided that, in the case of clauses (3), (4) and (5) above, a binding commitment shall be treated as a permitted final application of the Net Proceeds from the date of such commitment so long as the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary enters into such commitment with the good faith expectation that such Net Proceeds will be applied to satisfy such commitment within 180 days after the end of the 365-day period (an “Acceptable Commitment”) and, in the event any Acceptable Commitment is later cancelled, terminated or otherwise not consummated during such period for any reason, then any such unapplied Net Proceeds shall upon such event constitute Excess Proceeds.
 
Pending the final application of any Net Proceeds, the Company may temporarily reduce revolving credit borrowings or otherwise invest the Net Proceeds in any manner that is not prohibited by the indenture.
 
Any Net Proceeds from Asset Sales that are not applied or invested as provided in the preceding paragraph will constitute “Excess Proceeds.” When the aggregate amount of Excess Proceeds exceeds $25.0 million, the Company will make an offer or an “Asset Sale Offer”) to all Holders of Exchange Notes and all holders of other Indebtedness that is pari passu with the Exchange Notes containing provisions similar to those set forth in the indenture with respect to offers to purchase or redeem with the proceeds of sales of assets to purchase the maximum principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of Exchange Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness that may be purchased out of the Excess Proceeds. The offer price in any Asset Sale Offer will be equal to 100% of the principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, to the date of purchase, and will be payable in cash. If any Excess Proceeds remain after consummation of an Asset Sale Offer, the Company may use those Excess Proceeds for any purpose not otherwise prohibited by the indenture. If the aggregate principal amount (or accreted value, as applicable) of Exchange Notes and other pari passu Indebtedness tendered into such Asset Sale Offer exceeds the amount of Excess Proceeds, the Exchange Notes and such other pari passu Indebtedness will be purchased on a pro rata basis on the basis of the aggregate principal amount (or accreted


117


Table of Contents

value, as applicable) of Exchange Notes and of other pari passu Indebtedness tendered. Upon completion of each Asset Sale Offer, the amount of Excess Proceeds will be reset at zero. The Company may satisfy the foregoing obligations with respect to any Net Proceeds from an Asset Sale by making an Asset Sale Offer with respect to such Net Proceeds prior to the expiration of the foregoing 365-day period.
 
If the Asset Sale purchase date is on or after an interest payment record date and on or before the related interest payment date, any accrued and unpaid interest and Additional Interest, if any, will be paid to the Holder in whose name a Exchange Note is registered at the close of business on such record date, and no interest or Additional Interest, if any, will be payable to holders who tender Exchange Notes pursuant to the Asset Sale Offer.
 
The Company will comply with the requirements of Rule 14e-1 under the Exchange Act and any other securities laws and regulations thereunder to the extent those laws and regulations are applicable in connection with each repurchase of Exchange Notes pursuant to an Asset Sale Offer. To the extent that the provisions of any securities laws or regulations conflict with the Asset Sale provisions of the indenture, the Company will comply with the applicable securities laws and regulations and will not be deemed to have breached its obligations under the Asset Sale provisions of the indenture by virtue of such conflict.
 
The Credit Agreement restricts, and future agreements relating to Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries may prohibit, the Company from purchasing any Exchange Notes and also provides that certain change of control or asset sale events with respect to the Company would constitute a default under these agreements. In the event a Change of Control or Asset Sale occurs at a time when the Company is prohibited from purchasing Exchange Notes, the Company could seek the consent of the lenders for the purchase of Exchange Notes or could attempt to refinance any borrowings that contain such prohibition.
 
If the Company does not obtain such a consent or repay such borrowings, the Company will remain prohibited from purchasing Exchange Notes. In such case, the Company’s failure to purchase tendered Exchange Notes would constitute an Event of Default under the indenture which could result in a cross-default under the Credit Agreement or such other Indebtedness. Moreover, the exercise by the Holders of their right to require the Company to repurchase the Exchange Notes could cause a default under future agreements relating to Indebtedness of the Company and its Subsidiaries, even if the Change of Control itself does not, due to the financial effect of such repurchase on the Company and its Subsidiaries. Finally, the Company’s ability to pay cash to the Holders upon a repurchase may be limited by the Company’s then existing financial resources. There can be no assurance that sufficient funds will be available when necessary to make any required repurchases.
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the indenture, the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries may engage in transactions in which theatre properties will be transferred in exchange for one or more other theatre properties; provided that if the fair market value of the theatre properties to be transferred by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, plus the fair market value of any other consideration paid or credited by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary (the “Transaction Value”) exceeds $10.0 million, such transaction shall require approval of the Board of Directors of the Company. In addition, each such transaction shall be valued at an amount equal to all consideration received by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary in such transaction other than the theatre properties received pursuant to such exchange (“Other Consideration”) for purposes of determining whether an Asset Sale has occurred. If the Other Consideration is of an amount and character such that such transaction constituted an Asset Sale, then the paragraphs above of this “Asset Sales” covenant shall be applicable to any Net Proceeds of such Other Consideration.
 
Certain Covenants
 
Restricted Payments
 
The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly:

(f) $300.0 million.

(2) the payment of principal on or with respect to, or the purchase, redemption, repurchase, retirement, defeasance or other acquisition of, any Indebtedness subordinated to the Exchange Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee or of any Equity Interests of the Company or any Parent Entity made by conversion into, in exchange for, or out of the proceeds of the substantially concurrent (a) sale (other than to a Subsidiary of the Company or constituting an Excluded Contribution or Equity Interests used to make a Permitted Investment pursuant to clause (8) of the definition of Permitted Investments) of, Equity Interests of the Company (other than Disqualified Stock and other than Equity Interests issued or sold to an employee stock ownership plan or similar trust to the extent such sale to an employee stock ownership plan or similar trust is financed by loans from or guaranteed by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary unless such loans have been repaid with cash on or prior to the date of determination) or any Parent Entity or (b) contribution to the capital of the Company (other than by a Subsidiary and other than constituting an Excluded Contribution); provided that the amount of any such proceeds that are utilized

(b) foreign, federal, state and local income and other taxes, to the extent such taxes are attributable to the income, revenue, receipts, capital or margin of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries and, to the extent of the amount actually received from their Unrestricted Subsidiaries, in amounts required to pay such taxes to the extent attributable to the income, revenue, receipts, capital or margin of such Unrestricted Subsidiaries; provided that in each case the amount of such payments in any fiscal year does not exceed the amount that the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries would be required to pay in respect of foreign, federal, state and local taxes for such fiscal year were the Company, its Restricted Subsidiaries and its Unrestricted Subsidiaries (to the extent described above) to pay such taxes separately from any such Parent Entity;
 
(c) customary salary, bonus and other benefits payable to officers, directors and employees of any Parent Entity to the extent such salaries, bonuses and other benefits are directly or indirectly attributable to the ownership or operation of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, including the Company’s proportionate share of such amounts relating to any Parent Entity being a public company, including directors’ fees;

122


Table of Contents

to or in connection with a consolidation, merger or transfer of assets in connection with a transaction that is not prohibited by the indenture.
 
The amount of all Restricted Payments (other than cash) will be the fair market value on the date of the Restricted Payment of the asset(s) or securities proposed to be transferred or issued by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, pursuant to the Restricted Payment. The fair market value of any assets or securities that are required to be valued by this covenant will be determined by the Company or, if such fair market value exceeds $25.0 million, by the Board of Directors of the Company.
 
Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock
 
The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, issue, assume, guarantee or otherwise become directly or indirectly liable, contingently or otherwise, with respect to (collectively, “incur”) any Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), and the Company will not issue any Disqualified Stock and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to issue any Disqualified Stock or shares of preferred stock; provided, however, that the Company may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) or issue shares of Disqualified Stock, and any Restricted Subsidiary may incur Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt), issue shares of Disqualified Stock and issue shares of preferred stock, if the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio for the Company’s most recently ended four full fiscal quarters for which internal financial statements are available immediately preceding the date on which such additional Indebtedness is incurred or such Disqualified Stock or preferred stock is issued would have been at least 2.0 to 1.0, determined on a pro forma basis (including a pro forma application of the net proceeds therefrom), as if the additional Indebtedness had been incurred or Disqualified Stock or preferred stock had been issued, as the case may be, at the beginning of such four-quarter period. The first paragraph of this covenant will not prohibit:
 
(1) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Indebtedness and letters of credit under one or more Credit Facilities in an aggregate principal amount at any one time outstanding under this clause (1) (with letters of credit being deemed to have a principal amount equal to the maximum potential liability of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries thereunder) not to exceed $1,570.0 million less the sum of all permanent principal payments with respect to such Indebtedness in accordance with the covenant described under “— Repurchase at the Option of Holders — Asset Sales;”
 
(2) the incurrence by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries of Existing Indebtedness (other than Indebtedness described in clauses (1) and (3));
 
(3) the incurrence by the Company and any Guarantor of Indebtedness represented by the Initial Notes (other than additional notes) and the Exchange Notes issued in exchange therefor and any Subsidiary Guarantees of the foregoing;
 
(4) Indebtedness (including Capital Lease Obligations other than Deemed Capitalized Leases), Disqualified Stock and preferred stock incurred by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to finance the purchase, lease or improvement of property (real or personal) or equipment (other than software) that is used or useful in a Permitted Business (but excluding the purchase of Capital Stock of any Person), provided that the aggregate amount of Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock and preferred stock incurred pursuant to this clause (4) when aggregated with the then outstanding amount of such obligations under clause (5) incurred to refinance such obligations initially incurred in reliance on this clause (4) does not exceed 2.0% of Consolidated Net Tangible Assets (determined as of the time of such incurrence) at any time outstanding;
 
(5) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness in exchange for, or the net proceeds of which are used to refund, refinance or replace Indebtedness (other than intercompany Indebtedness) that was permitted by the indenture to be incurred under the first paragraph of this covenant or clauses (2), (3), (4), (5), (10) or (16) of this paragraph and related interest, premiums, fees and other Obligations;

(6) the incurrence by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries of intercompany Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock between or among the Company and any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; provided, however, that:
 
(a) if the Company or any Guarantor is the obligor on such Indebtedness, such Indebtedness must be expressly subordinated to the prior payment in full in cash of all Obligations with respect to the Exchange Notes, in the case of the Company, or the Subsidiary Guarantee, in the case of a Guarantor; and
 
(b) (i) any subsequent issuance or transfer of Equity Interests that results in any such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock being held by a Person other than the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company and (ii) any sale or other transfer of any such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock (but for the avoidance of doubt excluding the grant of a Permitted Lien thereon) to a Person that is neither the Company nor a Restricted Subsidiary of the Company will be deemed, in each case, to constitute an incurrence of such Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary, as the case may be, that was not permitted by this clause (6);

(9) the accrual of interest or dividends, the accretion or amortization of original issue discount, the payment of interest on any Indebtedness in the form of additional Indebtedness with the same terms, the payment of dividends on Disqualified Stock or preferred stock in the form of additional shares of the same class of Disqualified Stock or preferred stock and the incurrence of unrealized losses or charges in respect of Hedging Obligations (including those resulting from the application of FAS 133 and similar provisions), in each case will be deemed not to be an incurrence of Indebtedness or an issuance of Disqualified Stock or preferred stock for purposes of this covenant;
 
(10) Indebtedness arising from agreements of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary providing for indemnification, adjustment of purchase price, earn-out or other similar obligations, in each case, incurred or assumed in connection with the disposition or acquisition of any business, assets or a Restricted Subsidiary, other than Guarantees of Indebtedness incurred by any Person acquiring all or any portion of such business, assets or Restricted Subsidiary for the purpose of financing such acquisition; provided that the maximum aggregate liability in respect of all such Indebtedness shall at no time exceed the fair market value of the consideration actually received (or, in the case of an acquisition, paid) by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in connection with such transaction;
 
(11) Indebtedness supported by one or more letters of credit incurred under a Credit Facility in accordance with and pursuant to clause (1) of this paragraph; provided the amount of Indebtedness permitted to be incurred under this clause (11) relating to any such letter of credit shall not exceed the amount of the letter of credit provided for therein; provided, further, upon any reduction, cancellation or termination of the applicable letter of credit, there shall be deemed to be an incurrence of Indebtedness under the indenture equal to the excess of the amount of such Indebtedness outstanding immediately after such reduction, cancellation or termination over the remaining stated amount, if any, of such letter of credit or the stated amount of any letter of credit issued in replacement of such letter of credit;

(15) Construction Indebtedness and Permitted Refinancing Indebtedness incurred in respect thereof in an aggregate principal amount that does not exceed $100.0 million at any time outstanding;

(a) the Company would be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in the first sentence of this covenant, or
 
(b) the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is equal to or greater than such ratio immediately prior to such acquisition or merger;
 
(17) Indebtedness of the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to an Unrestricted Subsidiary for money borrowed; provided that such Indebtedness is subordinated in right of payment to the Exchange Notes or such Restricted Subsidiary’s Subsidiary Guarantee, the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of such Indebtedness is greater than the Weighted Average Life to Maturity of the Exchange Notes and the holders of such Indebtedness are not permitted to accelerate such Indebtedness or exercise any other remedies with respect thereto until 91 days after the Stated Maturity of the Exchange Notes; and
 
(18) Indebtedness incurred by the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary with respect to Digital Projector Financing in an aggregate principal amount incurred not to exceed (i) $70.0 million during the period from the Issue Date to the first anniversary thereof; (ii) $70.0 million during the period from the first anniversary of the Issue Date to the second anniversary of the Issue Date and (iii) $60.0 million after the second anniversary of the Issue Date; provided that any unused or repaid amounts may be carried forward and used in subsequent periods without limitation.
 
Neither the Company nor any Restricted Subsidiary will incur any Indebtedness under the preceding paragraph if the proceeds thereof are used, directly or indirectly, to refinance any Indebtedness subordinated to the Exchange Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee unless such Indebtedness will be subordinated to the Exchange Notes or such Subsidiary Guarantee to at least the same extent as such subordinated Indebtedness. No Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is not a Guarantor may incur any Indebtedness if the proceeds are used to refinance Indebtedness of the Company or a Guarantor (other than a refinancing of all the Exchange Notes).
 
For purposes of determining compliance with this “Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock” covenant, in the event that an item of proposed Indebtedness (including Acquired Debt) meets the criteria of more than one of the categories described in clauses (1) through (18) above, or is entitled to be incurred pursuant to the first paragraph of this covenant, the Company will be permitted to classify or (later


125


Table of Contents

classify or reclassify in whole or in part in its sole discretion) such item of Indebtedness in any manner that complies with this covenant; provided that all Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement outstanding on the Issue Date shall be deemed to have been incurred on the Issue Date pursuant to clause (1) above and the Company shall not be permitted to later reclassify all or any portion of such Indebtedness under the Credit Agreement outstanding on the Issue Date. Notwithstanding any other provision of this covenant, the maximum amount of Indebtedness that the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary may incur pursuant to this covenant shall not be deemed to be exceeded solely as a result of fluctuations in the exchange rate of currencies. The principal amount of any Disqualified Stock of the Company or a Restricted Subsidiary, or preferred stock of a Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor, will be equal to the greater of the maximum mandatory redemption or repurchase price (not including, in either case, any redemption or repurchase premium) or the liquidation preference thereof.
 
The indenture will not treat (1) unsecured Indebtedness as subordinated to secured Indebtedness merely because it is unsecured, (2) Senior Debt that is secured Indebtedness as subordinated to any other Senior Debt that is secured Indebtedness merely because it has a junior priority with respect to the same collateral, (3) any Indebtedness as subordinated to any other Indebtedness merely because of maturity date, order of payment or order of application of funds or (4) Indebtedness that is not Guaranteed as subordinated to Indebtedness that is Guaranteed merely because of such Guarantee.
 
Liens
 
The Company will not and will not permit any Guarantor to create, incur, assume or otherwise cause or suffer to exist or become effective any Lien of any kind securing Indebtedness (other than Permitted Liens) upon any of their property or assets (including Capital Stock of Subsidiaries of the Company), now owned or hereafter acquired, unless contemporaneously with the incurrence of such Lien effective provision is made to secure the Obligations due under the indenture and the Exchange Notes or, in respect any Lien on any Guarantor’s property or assets, any Subsidiary Guarantee of such Guarantor, (1) in the case of Liens securing Indebtedness that is pari passu in right of payment with the Exchange Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee, on an equal and ratable basis with (or, if the Company so elects, on a senior basis to) the obligations so secured until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien and (2) in the case of Liens securing Indebtedness that is expressly subordinated in right of payment to the Exchange Notes or any Subsidiary Guarantee, on a senior basis to the obligations so secured with the same relative priority as the Exchange Notes or such Subsidiary Guarantee, as the case may be, will have to that subordinated Indebtedness until such time as such obligations are no longer secured by a Lien. Any Lien created for the benefit of Holders of the Exchange Notes pursuant to this covenant shall be deemed automatically and unconditionally released and discharged upon the release and discharge of each of the Liens described in clauses (1) and (2) in the preceding paragraph.
 
Dividend and Other Payment Restrictions Affecting Subsidiaries
 
The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, directly or indirectly, create or permit to exist or become effective any consensual encumbrance or restriction on the ability of any Restricted Subsidiary that is not a Guarantor to:
 
(1) pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries, or with respect to any other interest or participation in, or measured by, its profits, or pay any Indebtedness owed to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries;
 
(2) make loans or advances to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries; or
 
(3) transfer any of its properties or assets to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries. However, the preceding restrictions will not apply to encumbrances or restrictions existing under or by reason of:

(2) the indenture, the Exchange Notes and the Subsidiary Guarantees (including the Guarantees thereof);

(11) the issuance of preferred stock by a Restricted Subsidiary or the payment of dividends thereon in accordance with the terms thereof, provided that issuance of such preferred stock is permitted pursuant to the covenant described under the caption “— Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock” and the terms of such preferred stock do not expressly restrict the ability of a Restricted Subsidiary to pay dividends or make any other distributions on its Capital Stock (other than requirements to pay dividends or liquidation preferences on such preferred stock prior to paying any dividends or making any other distributions on such other Capital Stock);
 
(12) encumbrances or restrictions contained in any Indebtedness, Disqualified Stock or preferred stock incurred by a Foreign Restricted Subsidiary pursuant to the first paragraph of clause (1), (4), (5) (but only to the extent a Foreign Restricted Subsidiary initially would have been permitted to incur the underlying Indebtedness), (14), (15), (16) or (18) of the second paragraph of the covenant described under the caption “— Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock”; provided that such encumbrance or restriction shall only apply to such Foreign Restricted Subsidiary;

(17) restrictions or conditions of the types contained in clause (3) of the preceding paragraph contained in any operating, construction, service, supply, purchase or other agreement to which the Company or any Restricted Subsidiary is a party entered into in the ordinary course of business; provided that such agreement limits the encumbrance solely to the property or assets of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary that is the subject of such agreement, the payment rights arising thereunder and the proceeds thereof and does not extend to any other asset or property of such Restricted Subsidiary or the assets or property of the Company or any other Restricted Subsidiary.
 
Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets
 
The Company may not, directly or indirectly, in one or more related transactions: (1) consolidate or merge with or into another Person (whether or not the Company is the surviving corporation); or (2) sell, assign, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, taken as a whole, to another Person; unless:
 
(1) either: (a) the Company is the surviving corporation; or (b) the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company) or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made is a corporation, limited liability company or partnership organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia; provided that if the Person is a partnership or limited liability company, a corporation wholly owned by such Person organized or existing under the laws of the United States, any state of the United States or the District of Columbia that does not and will not have any material assets or operations shall promptly thereafter become a co-issuer of the Exchange Notes pursuant to a supplemental indenture;

(3) immediately after such transaction no Default or Event of Default exists;
 
(4) the Company or the Person formed by or surviving any such consolidation or merger (if other than the Company), or to which such sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance or other disposition has been made will, on the date of such transaction after giving pro forma effect thereto and any related financing transactions as if the same had occurred at the beginning of the applicable four-quarter period, (a) be permitted to incur at least $1.00 of additional Indebtedness pursuant to the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio test set forth in the first paragraph of the covenant described above under the caption ‘‘— Incurrence of Indebtedness and Issuance of Preferred Stock” or (b) have a Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio equal to or greater than the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio of the Company immediately prior to such transaction; and


128


Table of Contents

(5) if the Company is not the surviving corporation, each Guarantor (unless it is the other party to the transactions above, in which case clause (2) shall apply) shall have by supplemental indenture confirmed that its Subsidiary Guarantee shall apply to such Person’s obligations in respect of the Exchange Notes and the indenture and its obligations under the registration rights agreement shall continue to be in effect.
 
In addition, the Company may not, directly or indirectly, lease all or substantially all of its properties or assets, in one or more related transactions, to any other Person.
 
Notwithstanding the preceding clause (4), any Restricted Subsidiary may consolidate with, merge into or transfer all or part of its properties and assets to the Company or any Guarantor.
 
Transactions with Affiliates
 
The Company will not, and will not permit any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to, make any payment to, or sell, lease, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties or assets to, or purchase any property or assets from, or enter into or make or amend any transaction, contract, agreement, understanding, loan, advance or guarantee with, or for the benefit of any Affiliate (each, an “Affiliate Transaction”) involving aggregate payments or considerations in excess of $5.0 million, unless:
 
(1) the Affiliate Transaction is on terms that are no less favorable to the Company or the relevant Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with a Person who is not an Affiliate; and
 
(2) the Company delivers to the trustee:
 
(a) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $5.0 million, an officers’ certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this covenant; and
 
(b) with respect to any Affiliate Transaction or series of related Affiliate Transactions involving aggregate consideration in excess of $25.0 million, a resolution of the Board of Directors of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. and the Company set forth in an officers’ certificate certifying that such Affiliate Transaction complies with this covenant and that such Affiliate Transaction has been approved by a majority of the disinterested members of the Board of Directors of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. and the Company.
 
The following items will be deemed to not be Affiliate Transactions and, therefore, will not be subject to the provisions of the prior paragraph:
 
(1) any employment, consulting or similar agreement or other compensation arrangement entered into by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries in the ordinary course of business of the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary;
 
(2) transactions between or among the Company and/or its Restricted Subsidiaries;
 
(3) transactions with a Person that is an Affiliate of the Company solely because the Company owns an Equity Interest in, or controls, such Person;

129


Table of Contents

(7) transactions effected in connection with the Transactions, including the payment of all related fees and expenses;
 
(8) transactions pursuant to any contract or agreement described in this prospectus under the caption “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions,” as in effect on the Issue Date, in each case as amended, modified or replaced from time to time so long as the amended, modified or new agreements, taken as a whole, are not materially less favorable to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries taken as a whole than those in effect on the Issue Date;
 
(9) transactions with customers, clients, suppliers, or purchasers or sellers of goods or services, in each case, in the ordinary course of business and otherwise in compliance with the terms of the indenture which are fair to the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries, in the reasonable determination of the Board of Directors of the Company or the senior management thereof, or are on terms at least as favorable as might reasonably have been obtained at such time from an unaffiliated party;
 
(10) the pledge of Equity Interests of an Unrestricted Subsidiary to its lenders to support the Indebtedness of such Unrestricted Subsidiary owed to such lenders; and
 
(11) transactions in which the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries delivers to the trustee a letter from an accounting, appraisal or investment banking firm of national standing stating that such transaction is fair to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary from a financial point of view or stating that the terms are not materially less favorable to the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary than those that would have reasonably been obtained in a comparable transaction by the Company or such Restricted Subsidiary with an unrelated Person on an arms’-length basis.
 
Designation of Restricted and Unrestricted Subsidiaries
 
The Board of Directors of the Company may designate any Restricted Subsidiary to be an Unrestricted Subsidiary if that designation would not cause a Default. If a Restricted Subsidiary is designated as an Unrestricted Subsidiary, the aggregate fair market value of all outstanding Investments owned by the Company and its Restricted Subsidiaries in the Subsidiary properly designated will be deemed to be an Investment made as of the time of the designation and will reduce the amount available for Restricted Payments or Permitted Investments, as determined by the Company. That designation will only be permitted if the Investment would be permitted at that time and if the Restricted Subsidiary otherwise meets the definition of an Unrestricted Subsidiary. The Board of Directors of the Company may redesignate any Unrestricted Subsidiary to be a Restricted Subsidiary if the redesignation would not cause a Default.
 
Future Guarantors
 
The indenture will provide that if any Restricted Subsidiary of the Company that is not a Guarantor (the “New Guarantor”) Guarantees, assumes or in any other manner becomes liable with respect to Indebtedness of the Company or any Guarantor (the “Other Indebtedness”), then the New Guarantor shall, within ten business days of the date of the New Guarantor’s Guarantee or assumption of the Other Indebtedness, execute and deliver to the trustee a supplemental indenture satisfactory to the trustee pursuant to which the New Guarantor shall become a Guarantor and Guarantee the obligations of the Company under the indenture and the Exchange Notes. Upon the release, termination or satisfaction of the New Guarantor’s Guarantee or assumption of all Other Indebtedness (other than a release, termination or satisfaction as a result of payment under such Guarantee), the New Guarantor’s Subsidiary Guarantee shall automatically be released and terminated.
 
Business Activities
 
The Company will not, and will not permit any Restricted Subsidiary to, engage in any business other than Permitted Businesses, except to such extent as would not be material to the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole.

Reports
 
Whether or not required by the Commission, so long as any Exchange Notes are outstanding, the Company will furnish to the trustee and the Holders of Exchange Notes, within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations (including all applicable extensions):
 
(1) all quarterly and annual financial information that would be required to be contained in a filing with the Commission on Forms 10-Q and 10-K if the Company were required to file such Forms, including a “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and, with respect to the annual information only, a report on the annual financial statements by the Company’s independent auditors; and
 
(2) all current reports that would be required to be filed with the Commission on Form 8-K if the Company were required to file such reports.
 
If the Company has designated any of its Subsidiaries as Unrestricted Subsidiaries, then the quarterly and annual financial information required by the preceding paragraph will include an unaudited consolidating balance sheet and related statements of income and cash flows for the Company and its Subsidiaries, separately identifying the (a) Company and the Restricted Subsidiaries and (b) the Unrestricted Subsidiaries, in all reports containing the consolidated financial statements (which in the case of annual reports shall be audited) of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries.
 
In addition, following the consummation of the exchange offer contemplated by the registration rights agreement (the “Exchange Offer”), whether or not required by the Commission, the Company will file a copy of all of the information and reports referred to in clauses (1) and (2) above with the Commission for public availability within the time periods specified in the Commission’s rules and regulations after giving effect to all applicable extensions (unless the Commission will not accept such a filing) and make such information available to securities analysts and prospective investors upon request. In addition, the Company has agreed that, for so long as any Exchange Notes remain outstanding, it will furnish to the Holders and to securities analysts and prospective investors, upon their request, the information required to be delivered pursuant to Rule 144A(d)(4) under the Securities Act.
 
The Company will be deemed to have furnished such reports to the trustee and the Holders if it has filed such reports with the Commission using the IDEA (f/k/a EDGAR) filing system and such reports are publicly available.
 
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company will be deemed not to have failed to comply with any of its obligations hereunder for purposes of clause (5) under “— Events of Default and Remedies” until 120 days after the date any report hereunder is required to be made available to the trustee and the Holders pursuant to this covenant.
 
Events of Default and Remedies
 
Each of the following is an Event of Default:
 
(1) default for 30 days in the payment when due of interest on, or Additional Interest with respect to, the Exchange Notes;
 
(2) default in payment when due of the principal of, or premium, if any, on, the Exchange Notes;
 
(3) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to comply with the provisions described under the caption “— Certain Covenants — Merger, Consolidation or Sale of Assets;”
 
(4) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for 30 days after receipt of written notice from the trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Exchange Notes to comply with the provision described under the caption “— Repurchase at the Option of Holders — Change of Control;”


131


Table of Contents

(5) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries for 60 days after receipt of written notice from the trustee or the Holders of not less than 25% in principal amount of the Exchange Notes to comply with any of the other agreements in the indenture;
 
(6) default by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries under any mortgage, indenture or instrument under which there may be issued or by which there may be secured or evidenced any indebtedness for money borrowed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries (or the payment of which is guaranteed by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries) whether such Indebtedness or guarantee now exists, or is created after the Issue Date, if that default:
 
(a) is caused by a failure to pay principal on such Indebtedness prior to the expiration of the grace period provided in such Indebtedness on the date of such default (a “Payment Default”); or
 
(b) results in the acceleration of such Indebtedness prior to its express maturity, and, in each case, the principal amount of any such Indebtedness, together with the principal amount of any other such Indebtedness under which there has been a Payment Default or the maturity of which has been so accelerated, aggregates $15.0 million or more;
 
(7) failure by the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries to pay final nonappealable judgments aggregating in excess of $15.0 million (net of any amount with respect to which a reputable and solvent insurance company has acknowledged liability in writing), which judgments are not paid, discharged or stayed for a period of 60 days;
 
(8) except as permitted by the indenture, any Subsidiary Guarantee shall be held in any judicial proceeding to be unenforceable or invalid or shall cease for any reason to be in full force and effect or any Guarantor, or any Person acting on behalf of any Guarantor, shall deny or disaffirm its obligations under its Subsidiary Guarantee; and
 
(9) certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization described in the indenture with respect to the Company or any of its Restricted Subsidiaries that are individually or collectively a Significant Subsidiary.
 
In the case of an Event of Default arising from certain events of bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization, with respect to the Company, any Subsidiary that is a Significant Subsidiary or any group of Subsidiaries that taken together would constitute a Significant Subsidiary, all outstanding Exchange Notes will become due and payable immediately without further action or notice. If any other Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the trustee or the Holders of at least 25% in principal amount of the then outstanding Exchange Notes may declare all the Exchange Notes to be due and payable immediately. Upon any such declaration, the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest, if any, and Additional Interest, if any, shall become due and payable immediately.
 
Holders of the Exchange Notes may not enforce the indenture or the Exchange Notes except as provided in the indenture. Subject to certain limitations, Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the then outstanding Exchange Notes may direct the trustee in its exercise of any trust or power. The trustee may withhold from Holders of the Exchange Notes notice of any continuing Default or Event of Default if it determines that withholding notice is in their interest, except a Default or Event of Default relating to the payment of principal of, or interest or premium or Additional Interest, if any, on the Exchange Notes.
 
The Holders of a majority in aggregate principal amount of the Exchange Notes then outstanding by notice to the trustee may on behalf of the Holders of all of the Exchange Notes waive any existing Default or Event of Default and its consequences under the indenture except a continuing Default or Event of Default in the payment of principal of, or interest or premium or Additional Interest, if any, on the Exchange Notes.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event of Default specified in clause (6) above shall have occurred and be continuing, such Event of Default and any consequential acceleration shall be automatically rescinded if (i) the Indebtedness that is the subject of such Event of Default has been repaid or (ii) if the default relating to such Indebtedness is waived or cured and if such Indebtedness has been accelerated, then the holders thereof have rescinded their declaration of acceleration in respect of such Indebtedness.

No Personal Liability of Directors, Officers, Employees and Stockholders
 
No director, officer, employee, incorporator or stockholder of the Company or any Guarantor, as such, will have any liability for any obligations of the Company under the Exchange Notes, the indenture, the Subsidiary Guarantees or the registration rights agreement or for any claim based on, in respect of, or by reason of, such obligations or their creation. Each Holder of Exchange Notes by accepting a Exchange Note waives and releases all such liability. The waiver and release are part of the consideration for issuance of the Exchange Notes. The waiver may not be effective to waive liabilities under the federal securities laws.
 
Legal Defeasance and Covenant Defeasance
 
The Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have all of its obligations discharged with respect to the outstanding Exchange Notes and all obligations of the Guarantors discharged with respect to their Subsidiary Guarantees (“Legal Defeasance”) except for:
 
(1) the rights of Holders of outstanding Exchange Notes to receive payments in respect of the principal of, or interest or premium and Additional Interest, if any, on such Exchange Notes when such payments are due from the trust referred to below;
 
(2) the Company’s obligations with respect to the Exchange Notes concerning issuing temporary Exchange Notes, mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Exchange Notes and the maintenance of an office or agency for payment and money for security payments held in trust;
 
(3) the rights, powers, trusts, duties and immunities of the trustee, and the Company’s and the Guarantor’s obligations in connection therewith; and
 
(4) the Legal Defeasance provisions of the indenture.
 
In addition, the Company may, at its option and at any time, elect to have the obligations of the Company and the Guarantors released with respect to certain covenants that are described in the indenture (“Covenant Defeasance”) and thereafter any omission to comply with those covenants will not constitute a Default or Event of Default with respect to the Exchange Notes. In the event Covenant Defeasance occurs, certain events (not including non-payment and bankruptcy, reorganization and insolvency events with respect to the Company) described under “— Events of Default and Remedies” will no longer constitute an Event of Default with respect to the Exchange Notes.
 
In order to exercise either Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance:
 
(1) the Company must irrevocably deposit with the trustee, in trust, for the benefit of the Holders of the Exchange Notes, cash in U.S. dollars, non-callable Government Securities, or a combination of cash in U.S. dollars and non-callable Government Securities, in amounts as will be sufficient, in the opinion of a nationally recognized firm of independent public accountants (or, if two or more nationally recognized firms of independent public accountants decline to issue such opinion as a matter of policy after the Company has made reasonable efforts to obtain such an opinion, in the opinion of the Company’s chief financial officer), to pay the principal of, or interest and premium and Additional Interest, if any, on the outstanding Exchange Notes on the stated maturity or on the applicable redemption date, as the case may be, and the Company must specify whether the Exchange Notes are being defeased to maturity or to a particular redemption date;
 
(2) in the case of Legal Defeasance, the Company has delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the trustee confirming that (a) the Company has received from, or there has been published by, the Internal Revenue Service a ruling or (b) since the Issue Date, there has been a change in the applicable federal income tax law, in either case to the effect that, and based thereon such opinion of counsel will confirm that, the Holders of the outstanding Exchange Notes will not recognize income,

gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Legal Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Legal Defeasance had not occurred;
 
(3) in the case of Covenant Defeasance, the Company has delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the trustee confirming that the Holders of the outstanding Exchange Notes will not recognize income, gain or loss for federal income tax purposes as a result of such Covenant Defeasance and will be subject to federal income tax on the same amounts, in the same manner and at the same times as would have been the case if such Covenant Defeasance had not occurred;
 
(4) no Default or Event of Default has occurred and is continuing on the date of such deposit (other than a Default or Event of Default resulting from the borrowing of funds to be applied to such deposit and the granting of Liens in connection therewith);
 
(5) such Legal Defeasance or Covenant Defeasance will not result in a breach or violation of, or constitute a default under any material agreement or instrument (other than the indenture) to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound;
 
(6) the Company must have delivered to the trustee an opinion of counsel to the effect that, subject to customary assumptions and exclusions, assuming that no intervening bankruptcy of the Company between the date of the deposit and the 91st day following the deposit will occur and that no holder of Exchange Notes is an insider of the Company under applicable bankruptcy law, no trust funds will be subject to the effect of any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally;
 
(7) the Company must deliver to the trustee an officers’ certificate stating that the deposit was not made by the Company with the intent of preferring the Holders of Exchange Notes over the other creditors of the Company with the intent of defeating, hindering, delaying or defrauding creditors of the Company or others; and
 
(8) the Company must deliver to the trustee an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel, each stating that all conditions precedent relating to the Legal Defeasance or the Covenant Defeasance have been complied with.

Except as provided in the next two succeeding paragraphs, the indenture, the Exchange Notes or the Subsidiary Guarantees may be amended or supplemented with the consent of the Holders of at least a majority in principal amount of the Exchange Notes then outstanding (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Exchange Notes), and any existing default or compliance with any provision of the indenture or the Exchange Notes may be waived with the consent of the Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Exchange Notes (including, without limitation, consents obtained in connection with a purchase of, or tender offer or exchange offer for, Exchange Notes).

The indenture will be discharged and will cease to be of further effect as to all Exchange Notes issued thereunder, when:
 
(1) either:
 
(a) all Exchange Notes that have been authenticated, except lost, stolen or destroyed Exchange Notes that have been replaced or paid and Exchange Notes for whose payment money has been deposited in trust and thereafter repaid to the Company, have been delivered to the trustee for cancellation; or

In addition, the Company must deliver an officers’ certificate and an opinion of counsel to the trustee each stating that all conditions precedent to satisfaction and discharge have been satisfied.
 
Concerning the Trustee
 
If the trustee becomes a creditor of the Company, the indenture limits its right to obtain payment of claims in certain cases, or to realize on certain property received in respect of any such claim as security or otherwise. The trustee will be permitted to engage in other transactions; however, if it acquires any conflicting interest it must eliminate such conflict within 90 days, apply to the Commission for permission to continue or resign.
 
The Holders of a majority in principal amount of the then outstanding Exchange Notes will have the right to direct the time, method and place of conducting any proceeding for exercising any remedy available to the trustee, subject to certain exceptions. The indenture provides that in case an Event of Default occurs and is continuing, the trustee will be required, in the exercise of its power, to use the degree of care of a prudent man in the conduct of his own affairs. Subject to such provisions, the trustee will be under no obligation to exercise any of its rights or powers under the indenture at the request of any Holder of Exchange Notes, unless such Holder has offered to the trustee security and indemnity satisfactory to it against any loss, liability or expense.

BOOK-ENTRY SETTLEMENT AND CLEARANCE
 
We will issue the Exchange Notes in the form of one or more global notes, or Global Exchange Note. The Global Exchange Note will be deposited with, or on behalf of, The Depository Trust Company or DTC and registered in the name of the DTC or its nominee. Except as set forth below, the Global Exchange Note may be transferred, in whole and not in part, and only to DTC or another nominee of DTC. You may hold your beneficial interests in the Global Exchange Note directly through DTC if you have an account with DTC or indirectly through organizations that have accounts with DTC.
 
DTC has advised us that it is:
 
  •  a limited purpose trust company organized under the laws of the State of New York;
 
  •  a “banking organization” within the meaning of the New York State Banking Law;
 
  •  a member of the Federal Reserve System;
 
  •  a “clearing corporation” within the meaning of the Uniform Commercial Code; and
 
  •  a “clearing agency” registered under Section 17A of the Exchange Act.
 
DTC was created to hold securities for its participants and to facilitate the clearance and settlement of securities transactions between its participants through electronic book-entry changes to the accounts of its participants. DTC’s participants include securities brokers and dealers, including the initial purchasers; banks and trust companies; clearing corporations and other organizations. Indirect access to DTC’s system is also available to others such as banks, brokers, dealers and trust companies; these indirect participants clear through or maintain a custodial relationship with a DTC participant, either directly or indirectly. Investors who are not DTC participants may beneficially own securities held by or on behalf of DTC only through DTC participants or indirect participants in DTC.
 
So long as DTC’s nominee is the registered owner of a Global Exchange Note, that nominee will be considered the sole owner or holder of the Exchange Notes represented by that Global Exchange Note for all purposes under the indenture. Except as provided below under “Certificated Notes,” owners of beneficial interests in a Global Exchange Note:
 
  •  will not be entitled to have Exchange Notes represented by the Global Exchange Note registered in their names;
 
  •  will not receive or be entitled to receive physical, certificated Exchange Notes; and
 
  •  will not be considered the owners or holders of the Exchange Notes under the indenture for any purpose, including with respect to the giving of any direction, instruction or approval to the trustee under the indenture.
 
As a result, each investor who owns a beneficial interest in a Global Exchange Note must rely on the procedures of DTC to exercise any rights of a holder of Exchange Notes under the indenture (and, if the investor is not a participant or an indirect participant in DTC, on the procedures of the DTC participant through which the investor owns its interest).
 
Payments of principal, premium (if any) and interest with respect to the Exchange Notes represented by a Global Exchange Note will be made by the trustee to DTC’s nominee as the registered holder of the Global Exchange Note. We understand that under existing industry practice, in the event an owner of a beneficial interest in the Global Exchange Note desires to take any action that the DTC, as the holder of the Global Exchange Note, is entitled to take, the DTC would authorize the participants to take such action, and the participants would authorize beneficial owners owning through such participants to take such action or would otherwise act upon the instructions of beneficial owners owning through them.
 
We will make payments of principal of, premium, if any, and interest on Exchange Notes represented by the Global Exchange Note registered in the name of and held by the DTC or its nominee to the DTC or its nominee, as the case may be, as the registered owner and holder of the Global Exchange Note. We expect that


157


Table of Contents

the DTC or its nominee, upon receipt of any payment of principal of, premium, if any, or interest on the Global Exchange Note will credit participants’ accounts with payments in amounts proportionate to their respective beneficial interests in the principal amount of the Global Exchange Note as shown on the records of the DTC or its nominee. We also expect that payments by participants or indirect participants to owners of beneficial interests in the Global Exchange Note held through such participants or indirect participants will be governed by standing instructions and customary practices and will be the responsibility of such participants or indirect participants. We will not have any responsibility or liability for any aspect of the records relating to, or payments made on account of, beneficial ownership interests in the Global Exchange Note for any Exchange Note or for maintaining, supervising or reviewing any records relating to such beneficial ownership interests or for any other aspect of the relationship between the DTC and its participants or indirect participants or the relationship between such participants or indirect participants and the owners of beneficial interests in the Global Exchange Note owning through such participants. Transfers between participants in DTC will be effected under DTC’s procedures and will be settled in same-day funds.
 
Although the DTC has agreed to the foregoing procedures in order to facilitate transfers of interests in the Global Exchange Note among participants of the DTC, it is under no obligation to perform or continue to perform such procedures, and such procedures may be discontinued at any time. Neither the Trustee nor the Company will have any responsibility or liability for the performance by the DTC or its participants or indirect participants of their respective obligations under the rules and procedures governing their operations.
 
Certificated Notes
 
Exchange Notes in physical, certificated form will be issued and delivered to each person that DTC identifies as a beneficial owner of the related Exchange Notes only if:
 
  •  DTC notifies us at any time that it is unwilling or unable to continue as depositary for the Global Exchange Notes and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days;
 
  •  DTC ceases to be registered as a clearing agency under the Exchange Act and a successor depositary is not appointed within 90 days;
 
  •  we, at our option, notify the trustee that we elect to cause the issuance of certificated Exchange Notes; or
 
  •  certain other events provided in the indenture should occur.

DESCRIPTION OF CERTAIN DEBT INSTRUMENTS
 
Senior Secured Credit Facility
 
On October 5, 2006, we entered into a senior secured credit facility. Our senior secured credit facility provides for a seven year term loan facility of $1.12 billion and a $150 million revolving credit line that matures in six years unless our 9% senior subordinated notes have not been refinanced by August 1, 2012 with indebtedness that matures no earlier than seven and one-half years after the closing date of the senior secured credit facility, in which case the maturity date of our revolving credit line becomes August 1, 2012.
 
At September 30, 2009, there was $1,086.4 million outstanding under the term loan facility and no borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit line. We had a minimum of approximately $121.5 million in available borrowing capacity under our revolving credit facility. The availability of our revolving credit facility may have recently been impacted by the insolvency of one of the lenders under the facility. As such, it is uncertain whether we could borrow the portion that would be funded by this insolvent lender, which is approximately $28.5 million. The average interest rate on outstanding term loan borrowings under our senior secured credit facility at September 30, 2009 was 3.1% per annum.
 
Under the term loan facility, principal payments of $2.8 million are due each calendar quarter beginning December 1, 2006 through September 30, 2012 and increase to $263.2 million each calendar quarter from December 31, 2012 to maturity at October 5, 2013. Prior to the amendment to our senior secured credit facility discussed below, the term loans accrued interest, at our option, at: (A) the base rate equal to the higher of (1) the prime lending rate as set forth on the British Banking Association Telerate page 5 or (2) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50%, plus a margin that ranges from 0.75% to 1.00% per annum, or (B) a “eurodollar rate” plus a margin that ranges from 1.75% to 2.00% per annum, in each case as adjusted pursuant to our corporate credit rating. Borrowings under the revolving credit line bear interest, at our option, at: (A) a base rate equal to the higher of (1) the prime lending rate as set forth on the British Banking Association Telerate page 5 and (2) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50%, plus a margin that ranges from 0.50% to 1.00% per annum, or (B) a “eurodollar rate” plus a margin that ranges from 1.50% to 2.00% per annum, in each case as adjusted pursuant to our consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio as defined in the credit agreement. We are required to pay a commitment fee calculated at the rate of 0.50% per annum on the average daily unused portion of the new revolving credit line, payable quarterly in arrears, which decreases to 0.375% per annum for any fiscal quarter in which our consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio on the last day of such fiscal quarter is less than 2.25 to 1.0.
 
On March 14, 2007, we amended our senior secured credit facility to, among other things, modify the interest rate on the term loans under our senior secured credit facility, modify certain prepayment terms and covenants, and facilitate the tender offer for the 9% senior subordinated notes. The term loans now accrue interest, at our option, at: (A) the base rate equal to the higher of (1) the prime lending rate as set forth on the British Banking Association Telerate page 5, or (2) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50%, plus a margin that ranges from 0.50% to 0.75% per annum, or (B) a “eurodollar rate” plus a margin that ranges from 1.50% to 1.75%, per annum. In each case, the margin is a function of the corporate credit rating applicable to the borrower. The interest rate on the revolving credit line was not amended. Additionally, the amendment removed any obligation to prepay amounts outstanding under our senior secured credit facility in an amount equal to the amount of the net cash proceeds received from the NCM Transaction or from excess cash flows, and imposed a 1% prepayment premium for one year on certain prepayments of the term loans.
 
Our obligations under our senior secured credit facility are guaranteed by Cinemark Holdings, Cinemark, Inc., and certain of our domestic subsidiaries and are secured by mortgages on certain fee and leasehold properties and security interests in substantially all of our and the guarantors’ personal property, including, without limitation, pledges of all of our capital stock, all of the capital stock of Cinemark, Inc., and certain of our domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the voting stock of certain of its foreign subsidiaries.
 
Our senior secured credit facility contains usual and customary negative covenants for agreements of this type, including, but not limited to, restrictions on our ability, and in certain instances, its subsidiaries’ and Cinemark Holdings and Cinemark, Inc.’s ability, to consolidate or merge or liquidate, wind up or dissolve;


159


Table of Contents

substantially change the nature of its business; sell, transfer or dispose of assets; create or incur indebtedness; create liens; pay dividends, repurchase stock and voluntarily repurchase or redeem the Existing Discount Notes and make capital expenditures and investments.
 
Our senior secured credit facility also requires us to satisfy a consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio covenant as determined in accordance with the senior secured credit facility. The dividend restriction contained in the senior secured credit facility prevents us and any of our subsidiaries from paying a dividend or otherwise distributing cash to its stockholders unless (1) we are not in default, and the distribution would not cause us to be in default, under our senior secured credit facility; and (2) the aggregate amount of certain dividends, distributions, investments, redemptions and capital expenditures made since October 5, 2006, including dividends declared by the board of directors, is less than the sum of (a) the aggregate amount of cash and cash equivalents received by Cinemark Holdings or us as common equity since October 5, 2006, (b) our consolidated EBITDA minus 1.75 times our consolidated interest expense, each as defined in the senior secured credit facility, since October 1, 2006, (c) $150 million and (d) certain other amounts specified in our senior secured credit facility, subject to certain adjustments specified in the senior secured credit facility. The dividend restriction is subject to certain exceptions specified in our senior secured credit facility.
 
The senior secured credit facility also includes customary events of default, including, among other things, payment default, covenant default, breach of representation or warranty, bankruptcy, cross-default, material ERISA events, certain types of change of control, material money judgments and failure to maintain subsidiary guarantees. If an event of default occurs, all commitments under the senior secured credit facility may be terminated, and all obligations under the senior secured credit facility could be accelerated by the lenders, causing all loans outstanding (including accrued interest and fees payable thereunder) to be declared immediately due and payable.

The Exchange Notes described herein will not differ materially in kind or extent from the Initial Notes. Your exchange of Initial Notes for Exchange Notes will not constitute a taxable disposition of the Initial Notes for United States federal income tax purposes. As a result, (1) you will not recognize taxable income, gain or loss on such exchange, (2) your holding period for the Exchange Notes will generally include the holding period for the Initial Notes so exchanged, and (3) your adjusted tax basis in the Exchange Notes will generally be the same as your adjusted tax basis in the Initial Notes so exchanged.
 
ACCOUNTING TREATMENT
 
The Exchange Notes will be recorded at the same carrying value as the Initial Notes as reflected in our accounting records on the date of exchange. Accordingly, no gain or loss will be recognized by us for accounting purposes. The expenses related to the exchange offer and the unamortized debt issue costs related to the issuance of the Initial Notes will be amortized over the remaining term of the Exchange Notes.

CERTAIN ERISA CONSIDERATIONS
 
The following is a summary of certain considerations associated with the purchase of Exchange Notes by employee benefit plans that are subject to Title I of the U.S. Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, or ERISA, and plans, individual retirement accounts and other arrangements that are subject to Section 4975 of the Code or provisions under any other federal, state, local, non-U.S. or other laws or regulations that are similar to such provisions of ERISA or the Code, or collectively Similar Laws, and entities whose underlying assets are considered to include “plan assets” of any such plan, account or arrangement referred to herein as a Plan.
 
General Fiduciary Matters
 
ERISA and the Code impose certain duties on persons who are fiduciaries of a Plan subject to Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code, or an ERISA Plan, and prohibit certain transactions involving the assets of an ERISA Plan and its fiduciaries or other interested parties. Under ERISA and the Code, any person who exercises any discretionary authority or control over the administration of such an ERISA Plan or the management or disposition of the assets of such an ERISA Plan, or who renders investment advice for a fee or other compensation to such an ERISA Plan, is generally considered to be a fiduciary of the ERISA Plan.
 
In considering an investment in the Exchange Notes of a portion of the assets of any Plan, a fiduciary should determine whether the investment is in accordance with the documents and instruments governing the Plan and the applicable provisions of ERISA, the Code or any Similar Law relating to a fiduciary’s duties to the Plan including, without limitation, the prudence, diversification, delegation of control and prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA, the Code and any other applicable Similar Laws.
 
Prohibited Transaction Issues
 
Section 406 of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code prohibit ERISA Plans from engaging in specified transactions involving plan assets with persons or entities who are “parties in interest,” within the meaning of ERISA, or “disqualified persons,” within the meaning of Section 4975 of the Code, unless an exemption is available. A party in interest or disqualified person who engages in a nonexempt prohibited transaction may be subject to excise taxes and other penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code. In addition, the fiduciary of the ERISA Plan that engages in such a non-exempt prohibited transaction may be subject to penalties and liabilities under ERISA and the Code. The acquisition and/or holding of Exchange Notes by an ERISA Plan with respect to which we or any of our guarantors or the initial purchasers is considered a party in interest or a disqualified person may constitute or result in a direct or indirect prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA and/or Section 4975 of the Code, unless the investment is acquired and is held in accordance with an applicable statutory, class or individual prohibited transaction exemption. In this regard, the U.S. Department of Labor has issued prohibited transaction class exemptions, or PTCEs, that may apply to the acquisition and holding of the Exchange Notes. These class exemptions include, without limitation, PTCE 84-14 respecting transactions determined by independent qualified professional asset managers, PTCE 90-1 respecting insurance company pooled separate accounts, PTCE 91-38 respecting bank collective investment funds, PTCE 95-60 respecting life insurance company general accounts and PTCE 96-23 respecting transactions determined by in-house asset managers. In addition, Section 408(b)(17) of ERISA and Section 4975(d)(20) of the Code provide relief from the prohibited transaction provisions of ERISA and Section 4975 of the Code for certain transactions, provided that neither the issuer of the securities nor any of its affiliates (directly or indirectly) have or exercise any discretionary authority or control or render any investment advice with respect to the assets of any ERISA Plan involved in the transaction and provided, further that the ERISA Plan pays no more than adequate consideration in connection with the transaction. There can be no assurance that all of the conditions of any such exemptions will be satisfied.
 
Because of the foregoing, the Exchange Notes should not be purchased or held by any person investing “plan assets” of any Plan, unless such purchase and holding will not constitute a prohibited transaction under ERISA and the Code or similar violation of any applicable Similar Laws or unless an exemption is available to such purchase and holding.

Representation
 
Accordingly, by acceptance of an Exchange Note, each purchaser and subsequent transferee will be deemed to have represented and warranted that either (i) no portion of the assets used by such purchaser or transferee to acquire and hold the Exchange Notes constitutes assets of any Plan, or (ii) the purchase and holding of the Exchange Notes by such purchaser or transferee will not constitute a nonexempt prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the Code or a similar violation under any applicable Similar Laws.
 
The foregoing discussion is general in nature and is not intended to be all inclusive. Due to the complexity of these rules and the penalties that may be imposed upon persons involved in non-exempt prohibited transactions, it is particularly important that fiduciaries, or other persons considering purchasing the Exchange Notes (and holding the Exchange Notes) on behalf of, or with the assets of, any Plan, consult with their counsel regarding the potential applicability of ERISA, Section 4975 of the Code and any Similar Laws to such investment and whether an exemption would be applicable to the purchase and holding of the Exchange Notes.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION
 
Based on interpretations of the SEC set forth in no-action letters issued to third parties, we believe that the Exchange Notes issued under the exchange offer in exchange for Initial Notes may be offered for resale, resold and otherwise transferred by you without compliance with the registration and prospectus delivery provisions of the Securities Act, provided:
 
• you are not an “affiliate” of ours within the meaning of Rule 405 under the Securities Act;
 
• you are acquiring the Exchange Notes in the ordinary course of your business; and
 
• you do not intend to participate in the distribution of the Exchange Notes.
 
If you tender Initial Notes in the exchange offer with the intention of participating in any manner in a distribution of the Exchange Notes:
 
• you cannot rely on the above interpretations of the SEC; and
 
  •  you must comply with the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act in connection with a secondary resale transaction, and the secondary resale transaction must be covered by an effective registration statement containing the selling security holder information required by Item 507 or 508, as applicable, of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act.
 
Each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer must acknowledge that it will deliver a prospectus in connection with any resale of the Exchange Notes. This prospectus, as it may be amended or supplemented from time to time, may be used by a broker-dealer in connection with resales of Exchange Notes received in exchange for Initial Notes where such Initial Notes were acquired as a result of market-marking activities or other trading activities. We have agreed that, for a period of 12 months after the effective date of this prospectus, we will make this prospectus, as amended or supplemented, available to any broker-dealer for use in connection with any such resale.
 
We will not receive any proceeds from any sale of the Exchange Notes by broker-dealers. Exchange Notes received by broker-dealers for their own accounts pursuant to the exchange offer may be sold from time to time in one or more transactions in the over-the-counter market, in negotiated transactions, through the writing of options on the Exchange Notes or a combination of such methods of resale, at market prices prevailing at the time of resale, at prices related to such prevailing market prices or negotiated prices. Any such resale may be made directly to purchasers or to or through brokers or dealers who may receive compensation in the form of commissions or concessions from any such broker-dealer and/or the purchasers of any such Exchange Notes. Any broker-dealer that resells Exchange Notes that were received by it for its own account pursuant to the exchange offer and any broker or dealer that participates in a distribution of such Exchange Notes may be deemed to be an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act and any profit on any such resale Exchange Notes and any commissions or concessions received by any such persons may be deemed to be underwriting compensation under the Securities Act. The letter of transmittal states that, by acknowledging that it will deliver and by delivering a prospectus, a broker-dealer will not be deemed to admit that it is an “underwriter” within the meaning of the Securities Act.
 
For a period of twelve months after the effective date of this prospectus, we will promptly send additional copies of this prospectus and any amendment to this prospectus to any broker-dealer that requests such documents. We have agreed, in connection with the exchange offer, to indemnify the holders of Notes against certain liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.
 
By acceptance of the exchange offer, each broker-dealer that receives Exchange Notes pursuant to the exchange offer hereby agrees to notify us prior to using the prospectus in connection with the sale or transfer of Exchange Notes, and acknowledges and agrees that, upon receipt of notice from us of the happening of any event which makes any statement in the prospectus untrue in any material respect or which requires the making of any changes in the prospectus in order to make the statements therein not misleading (which notice we agree to deliver promptly to such broker-dealer), such broker-dealer will suspend use of the prospectus until we have amended or supplemented the prospectus to correct such misstatement or omission and has furnished copies of the amended or supplemented prospectus to such broker-dealer.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
 
To the Board of Directors of
Cinemark USA, Inc.
Plano, Texas
 
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cinemark USA, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2007 (Successor) and 2008 (Successor), and the related consolidated statements of operations, stockholder’s equity and comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for the period from January 1, 2006 to October 4, 2006 (Predecessor), the period from October 5, 2006 to December 31, 2006 (Successor), and each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2008 (Successor). These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Cinemark USA, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2007 (Successor) and 2008 (Successor), and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the period from January 1, 2006 to October 4, 2006 (Predecessor), the period from October 5, 2006 to December 31, 2006 (Successor), and each of the two years in the period ended December 31, 2008 (Successor), in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
 
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, in 2007 the Company changed its method of accounting for uncertainty in income taxes to adopt Financial Accounting Standards Board Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of SFAS No. 109.”

1.   SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Business — Cinemark USA, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) are leaders in the motion picture exhibition industry in terms of both revenues and the number of screens in operation, with theatres in the United States (“U.S.”), Canada, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia. The Company also managed additional theatres in the U.S., Brazil, and Colombia during the year ended December 31, 2008.
 
Basis of Presentation — On August 2, 2006, Cinemark Holdings, Inc. was formed as the Delaware holding company of Cinemark, Inc. On August 7, 2006, the Cinemark, Inc. stockholders entered into a share exchange agreement pursuant to which they agreed to exchange their shares of Class A common stock for an equal number of shares of common stock of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (“Cinemark Share Exchange”). The Cinemark Share Exchange was completed on October 5, 2006 and facilitated the acquisition of Century Theatres, Inc. (“Century Acquisition”). On October 5, 2006, Cinemark, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. Cinemark USA, Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Cinemark, Inc.
 
Due to a change in reporting entity that occurred as a result of the Cinemark Share Exchange, Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s accounting basis has been pushed down to the Company effective on the date of the Cinemark Share Exchange, October 5, 2006. The accompanying consolidated statements of operations, cash flows and stockholder’s equity present the results of the Company’s operations and cash flows for the periods preceding the Cinemark Share Exchange as Predecessor and the periods subsequent to the Cinemark Share Exchange as Successor. See Note 4.
 
On April 24, 2007, Cinemark Holdings, Inc. completed an initial public offering of its common stock.
 
Principles of Consolidation — The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Cinemark USA, Inc. and subsidiaries. Majority-owned subsidiaries that the Company has control of are consolidated while those subsidiaries of which the Company owns between 20% and 50% and does not control are accounted for as affiliates under the equity method. Those subsidiaries of which the Company owns less than 20% are generally accounted for as affiliates under the cost method, unless the Company is deemed to have the ability to exercise significant influence over the affiliate, in which case the Company would account for its investment under the equity method. The results of these subsidiaries and affiliates are included in the consolidated financial statements effective with their formation or from their dates of acquisition. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents — Cash and cash equivalents consist of operating funds held in financial institutions, petty cash held by the theatres and highly liquid investments with remaining maturities of three months or less when purchased. At December 31, 2008, cash investments were primarily in money market funds.
 
Inventories — Concession and theatre supplies inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.
 
Theatre Properties and Equipment — Theatre properties and equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Additions to theatre properties and equipment include the capitalization of $86, $0, $618 and $270 of interest incurred during the development and construction of theatres during the period from January 1, 2006 to October 4, 2006, the period from October 5, 2006 to December 31, 2006, and

years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively. Depreciation is provided using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:
 
     
Category
 
Useful Life
 
Buildings on owned land
  40 years
Buildings on leased land
  Lesser of lease term or useful life
Buildings under capital lease
  Lesser of lease term or useful life
Theatre furniture and equipment
  5 to 15 years
Leasehold improvements
  Lesser of lease term or useful life
 
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment indicators on a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable.
 
The Company considers actual theatre level cash flows, future years budgeted theatre level cash flows, theatre property and equipment carrying values, amortizing intangible assets carrying values, the age of a recently built theatre, competitive theatres in the marketplace, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the impact of recent ticket price changes, available lease renewal options and other factors considered relevant in its assessment of impairment of individual theatre assets. Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment on an individual theatre basis, which the Company believes is the lowest applicable level for which there are identifiable cash flows. The impairment evaluation is based on the estimated undiscounted cash flows from continuing use through the remainder of the theatre’s useful life. The remainder of the useful life correlates with the available remaining lease period, which includes the probability of renewal periods for leased properties and a period of twenty years for fee owned properties. If the estimated undiscounted cash flows are not sufficient to recover a long-lived asset’s carrying value, the Company then compares the carrying value of the asset group (theatre) with its estimated fair value. When estimated fair value is determined to be lower than the carrying value of the asset group (theatre), the asset group (theatre) is written down to its estimated fair value. Significant judgment is involved in estimating cash flows and fair value. Management’s estimates are based on historical and projected operating performance, recent market transactions, and current industry trading multiples. Fair value is determined based on a multiple of cash flows, which was eight times for the evaluations performed during 2006, 2007 and the first, second and third quarters of 2008 and six and a half times for the evaluation performed during the fourth quarter of 2008. The Company reduced the multiple it used to determine fair value during the fourth quarter of 2008 due to the dramatic decline in estimated market values that resulted from a significant decrease in Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s stock price and the declines in the market capitalizations of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. and our competitors that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2008. The long-lived asset impairment charges recorded during each of the periods presented are specific to theatres that were directly and individually impacted by increased competition or adverse changes in their respective market. See Note 11.
 
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets — Goodwill is the excess of cost over fair value of theatre businesses acquired. Goodwill is tested for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value of goodwill might exceed its estimated fair value. The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level and has allocated goodwill to the reporting unit based on an estimate of its relative fair value. Goodwill impairment is evaluated using a two-step approach requiring the Company to compute the fair value of a reporting unit and compare it with its carrying value. If the carrying value of the reporting unit exceeds its estimated fair value, a second step is performed to measure the potential goodwill impairment. Significant judgment is involved in estimating cash flows and fair value. Management’s estimates are based on historical and projected operating performance, recent market transactions, and current industry trading multiples. Fair value is determined based on a multiple of cash flows, which was eight times for the goodwill impairment evaluations performed during 2006 and 2007 and six and a half times for the evaluation performed during 2008. The Company reduced the multiple it used to determine fair value during the fourth quarter of 2008 due to the dramatic decline in estimated market values that resulted from a significant decrease in Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s

stock price and the declines in the market capitalizations of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. and our competitors that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2008. Prior to January 1, 2008, the Company considered its theatres reporting units for purposes of evaluating goodwill for impairment. Recent changes in the organization, including changes in the structure of the Company’s executive management team, Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s initial public offering of common stock, the resulting changes in the level at which the Company’s management team evaluates the business on a regular basis, and the Century Acquisition that increased the size of the Company’s theatre base by approximately 25%, led the Company to conclude that its U.S. regions and international countries are now more reflective of how it manages and operates its business. Accordingly, the Company’s U.S. regions and international countries represent the appropriate reporting units for purposes of evaluating goodwill for impairment. Consequently, effective January 1, 2008, the Company changed the reporting unit to sixteen regions in the U.S. and each of its eight countries internationally (Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica and Panama are considered one reporting unit) from approximately four hundred theatres. The goodwill impairment test performed during December 2007 that resulted in the recording of impairment charges during the year ended December 31, 2007 reflected the final calculation utilizing theatres as reporting units. See Notes 10 and 11.
 
Tradename intangible assets are tested for impairment at least annually during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable. The Company estimates the fair value of its tradenames by applying an estimated market royalty rate that could be charged for the use of the Company’s tradename to forecasted future revenues, with an adjustment for the present value of such royalties. If the estimated fair value is less than the carrying value, the tradename intangible asset is written down to the estimated fair value.
 
The table below summarizes the Company’s intangible assets and the amortization method used for each type of intangible asset:
 
     
Intangible Asset
 
Amortization Method
 
Goodwill
  Indefinite-lived
Tradename
  Indefinite-lived
Capitalized licensing fees
  Straight-line method over 15 years. The remaining terms of the underlying agreements range from 6 to 11 years.
Vendor contracts
  Straight-line method over the terms of the underlying contracts. The remaining terms of the underlying contracts range from 1 to 14 years.
Net favorable leases
  Based on the pattern in which the economic benefits are realized over the terms of the lease agreements. The remaining terms of the lease agreements range from 1 to 28 years.
Other intangible assets
  Straight-line method over the terms of the underlying agreement. The remaining term of the underlying agreement is 10 years.
 
Deferred Charges and Other Assets — Deferred charges and other assets consist of debt issue costs, long-term prepaid rents, construction advances and other deposits, equipment to be placed in service and other assets. Debt issue costs are amortized using the straight-line method (which approximates the effective interest method) over the primary financing terms of the related debt agreement. Long-term prepaid rents represent advance rental payments on operating leases. These payments are recognized to facility lease expense over the period for which the rent was paid in advance as outlined in the lease agreements. These periods generally range from 10 to 20 years.
 
Lease Accounting — The Company evaluates each lease for classification as either a capital lease or an operating lease. If substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership have been transferred to the lessee, the lessee records the lease as a capital lease at its inception. The Company performs this evaluation at the

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
inception of the lease and when a modification is made to a lease. If the lease agreement calls for a scheduled rent increase during the lease term, the Company recognizes the lease expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term as deferred lease expense. The Company determines the straight-line rent expense impact of an operating lease upon inception of the lease. The landlord is typically responsible for constructing a theatre using guidelines and specifications agreed to by the Company and assumes substantially all of the risk of construction. If the Company concludes that it has substantially all of the construction period risks, it records a construction asset and related liability for the amount of total project costs incurred during the construction period. At the end of the construction period, the Company determines if the transaction qualifies for sale-leaseback accounting treatment in regards to lease classification.
 
Deferred Revenues — Advances collected on long-term screen advertising, concession and other contracts are recorded as deferred revenues. In accordance with the terms of the agreements, the advances collected on such contracts are recognized during the period in which the advances are earned, which may differ from the period in which the advances are collected.
 
Revenue and Expense Recognition — Revenues are recognized when admissions and concession sales are received at the box office. Other revenues primarily consist of screen advertising. Screen advertising revenues are recognized over the period that the related advertising is delivered on-screen or in-theatre. The Company records proceeds from the sale of gift cards and other advanced sale-type certificates in current liabilities and recognizes admissions and concession revenue when a holder redeems the card or certificate. The Company recognizes unredeemed gift cards and other advanced sale-type certificates as revenue only after such a period of time indicates, based on historical experience, the likelihood of redemption is remote, and based on applicable laws and regulations. In evaluating the likelihood of redemption, the Company considers the period outstanding, the level and frequency of activity, and the period of inactivity. The Company recognized unredeemed gift cards and other advance sale-type certificates as revenues in the amount of $1,259, $3,162, $5,516 and $7,629 during the period from January 1, 2006 to October 4, 2006, the period from October 5, 2006 to December 31, 2006 and years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively.
 
Film rental costs are accrued based on the applicable box office receipts and either the mutually agreed upon firm terms or sliding scale formula, which are established prior to the opening of the film, or estimates of the final mutually agreed upon settlement, which occurs at the conclusion of the film run, subject to the film licensing arrangement. Under a firm terms formula, the Company pays the distributor a mutually agreed upon specified percentage of box office receipts, which reflects either a mutually agreed upon aggregate rate for the life of the film or rates that decline over the term of the run. Under the sliding scale formula, film rental is paid as a percentage of box office revenues using a pre-determined matrix based upon box office performance of the film. The settlement process allows for negotiation of film rental fees upon the conclusion of the film run based upon how the film performs. Estimates are based on the expected success of a film over the length of its run in theatres. The success of a film can typically be determined a few weeks after a film is released when initial box office performance of the film is known. Accordingly, final settlements typically approximate estimates since box office receipts are known at the time the estimate is made and the expected success of a film over the length of its run in theatres can typically be estimated early in the film’s run. The final film settlement amount is negotiated at the conclusion of the film’s run based upon how a film actually performs. If actual settlements are different than those estimated, film rental costs are adjusted at that time. The Company recognizes advertising costs and any cost sharing arrangements with film distributors in the same accounting period. The Company’s advertising costs are expensed as incurred. Advertising expenses for the period from January 1, 2006 to October 4, 2006, the period from October 5, 2006 to December 31, 2006 and years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008 were $11,285, $4,441, $17,252 and $16,839, respectively.
 
Accounting for Share Based Awards — The Company measures the cost of employee services received in exchange for an award of equity instruments based on the fair value of the award on the date of the grant. The grant date fair value is estimated using either an option-pricing model, consistent with the terms of the award,


F-10


Table of Contents

 
CINEMARK USA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
or a market observed price, if such a price exists. Such costs are recognized over the period during which an employee is required to provide service in exchange for the award (which is usually the vesting period). The Company also estimates the number of instruments that will ultimately be forfeited, rather than accounting for forfeitures as they occur.
 
The Company recognized compensation cost for all awards granted, modified or settled on or after January 1, 2006 and for the unvested portion of previously granted awards that were outstanding on January 1, 2006. The Company had approximately 4,554,253 unvested options outstanding on January 1, 2006. See Note 18 for discussion of all the Company’s share based awards and related compensation expense.
 
Income Taxes — The Company participates in the consolidated return of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. The Company’s provision for income taxes is computed as if it were a separate taxpayer. The Company uses an asset and liability approach to financial accounting and reporting for income taxes. Deferred income taxes are provided when tax laws and financial accounting standards differ with respect to the amount of income for a year and the basis of assets and liabilities. A valuation allowance is recorded to reduce the carrying amount of deferred tax assets unless it is more likely than not that such assets will be realized. Income taxes are provided on unremitted earnings from foreign subsidiaries unless such earnings are expected to be indefinitely reinvested. Income taxes have also been provided for potential tax assessments. The related tax accruals are recorded in accordance with FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes — an interpretation of SFAS No. 109” (“FIN 48” or FASB ASC Topic 740, Income Taxes [“FASB ASC Topic 740”]), which the Company adopted on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 (FASB ASC Topic 740) clarifies the accounting and reporting for income taxes recognized in accordance with SFAS No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes” (FASB ASC 740, Income Taxes), and the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of uncertain tax positions taken or expected to be taken in income tax returns. The evaluation of a tax position is a two step process. The first step is recognition: The Company determines whether it is more likely than not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of any related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. In evaluating whether a tax position has met the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, the Company should presume that the position would be examined by the appropriate taxing authority that would have full knowledge of all relevant information. The second step is measurement: A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured to determine the amount of benefit to recognize in the financial statements. The tax position is measured at the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50 percent likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement. Differences between tax positions taken in a tax return and amounts recognized in the financial statements result in (1) a change in a liability for income taxes payable or (2) a change in an income tax refund receivable, a deferred tax asset or a deferred tax liability or both (1) and (2). The Company accrues interest and penalties on its tax provisions.
 
Segments — As of December 31, 2008, the Company managed its business under two reportable operating segments, U.S. markets and international markets. See Note 22.
 
Use of Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the use of estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the periods presented. The Company’s consolidated financial statements include amounts that are based on management’s best estimates and judgments. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Foreign Currency Translations — The assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates as of the balance sheet date, and revenues and expenses are translated at average monthly exchange rates. The resulting translation adjustments are recorded in the consolidated balance sheet in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
Fair Value Measurements  The Company has interest rate swap agreements that are adjusted to fair value on a recurring basis (quarterly). The Company’s fair value measurements are based on projected future interest rates as provided by the counterparties to the interest rate swap agreements and the fixed rates that the Company is obligated to pay under these agreements. Therefore, the Company’s measurements use significant unobservable inputs, which fall in Level 3. Below is a reconciliation of our interest rate swap values, as included in other long-term liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets, from the beginning of the year to the end of the year:
 
         
Beginning balance — January 1, 2008
  $ (18,422 )
Total gains (losses):
       
Included in earnings (as component of interest expense)
    5,422  
Included in accumulated other comprehensive loss
    (24,506 )
Settlements
    12,725  
         
Ending balance — December 31, 2008
  $ (24,781 )
         
 
See Note 14 for further discussion of the terms of the Company’s interest rate swap agreements.
 
Acquisitions — The Company accounts for acquisitions under the purchase method of accounting. The purchase method requires that the Company estimate the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed and allocate consideration paid accordingly. For significant acquisitions, the Company obtains independent third party valuation studies for certain of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed to assist the Company in determining fair value. The estimation of the fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed involves a number of estimates and assumptions that could differ materially from the actual amounts recorded. The Company provides the assumptions, including both quantitative and qualitative information, about the specified asset or liability to the third party valuation firms. The Company primarily utilizes the third parties to accumulate comparative data from multiple sources and assemble a report that summarizes the information obtained. The Company then uses the information to determine fair value. The third party valuation firms are supervised by Company personnel who are knowledgeable about valuations and fair value. The Company evaluates the appropriateness of the valuation methodology utilized by the third party valuation firm.
 
Comprehensive Income (Loss) — Total comprehensive income (loss) attributable to Cinemark USA, Inc. for the period from January 1, 2006 to October 4, 2006, the period from October 5, 2006 to December 31, 2006 and years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, was $54,426, $(2,239), $136,660 and $(128,891), respectively. Total comprehensive income (loss) consists of net income (loss), foreign currency translation adjustments, fair value adjustments on the Company’s interest rate swap agreements and the amortization of accumulated other comprehensive loss related to the Company’s terminated swap agreement. See Notes 14 and 15.
 
2.   NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
 
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157 (FASB Accounting Standards Codification [“ASC”] Topic 820), “Fair Value Measurements.” Among other requirements, this statement defines fair value, establishes a framework for using fair value to measure assets and liabilities, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. The statement applies whenever other statements require or permit assets or liabilities to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 157 (FASB ASC Topic 820) is effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008 (January 1, 2009 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities). Adoption of this statement did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159 (FASB ASC Topic 825), “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities”. This statement provides companies with an option to report


F-12


Table of Contents

 
CINEMARK USA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
selected financial assets and liabilities at fair value that are currently not required to be measured at fair value. SFAS No. 159 (FASB ASC Topic 825) establishes presentation and disclosure requirements designed to facilitate comparisons between companies that choose different measurement attributes for similar types of assets and liabilities. SFAS No. 159 (FASB ASC Topic 825) was effective for the Company beginning January 1, 2008. The Company did not elect the fair value option. Adoption of this statement did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141(R) (FASB ASC Topic 805), “Business Combinations”. This statement requires all business combinations completed after the effective date to be accounted for by applying the acquisition method (previously referred to as the purchase method); expands the definition of transactions and events that qualify as business combinations; requires that the acquired assets and liabilities, including contingencies, be recorded at the fair value determined on the acquisition date and changes thereafter reflected in income, not goodwill; changes the recognition timing for restructuring costs; and requires acquisition costs to be expensed as incurred rather than being capitalized as part of the cost of the acquisition. Adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) (FASB ASC Topic 805) is required for business combinations that occur after December 15, 2008. Early adoption and retroactive application of SFAS No. 141(R) (FASB ASC Topic 805) to fiscal years preceding the effective date is not permitted. Adoption of this statement is not expected to have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 (FASB ASC Topic 810), “Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements”. This statement establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will no longer be shown as an expense item for all periods presented, but will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. SFAS No. 160 (FASB ASC Topic 810) requires disclosure, on the face of the consolidated income statement, of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest. SFAS No. 160 (FASB ASC Topic 810) clarifies that changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement requires that a parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. SFAS No. 160 (FASB ASC Topic 810) also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Earlier adoption is prohibited. The Company adopted SFAS No. 160 (FASB ASC Topic 810) effective January 1, 2009 and has applied the requirements retroactively to these financial statements. Upon adoption of this statement, the Company has recognized its noncontrolling interests as equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, has reflected net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated net income and has provided in its statement of stockholder’s equity and comprehensive income (loss), a summary of changes in equity and comprehensive income (loss) attributable to Cinemark USA, Inc., its noncontrolling interests and in total.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 (FASB ASC Topic 815) “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”. This statement intends to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures about their impact on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 (FASB ASC Topic 815) requires disclosures regarding the objectives for using derivative instruments, the fair values of derivative instruments and their related gains and losses, and the accounting for derivatives and related hedged items. SFAS No. 161 (FASB ASC Topic 815) is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
SFAS No. 161 (FASB ASC Topic 815) will not impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements, and the Company does not expect the statement to have a significant impact on its disclosures.
 
3.   INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING OF CINEMARK HOLDINGS, INC.’S COMMON STOCK
 
On April 24, 2007, Cinemark Holdings, Inc., completed an initial public offering of its common stock. Cinemark Holdings, Inc. sold 13,888,889 shares of its common stock and selling stockholders sold an additional 14,111,111 shares of common stock at a price of $17.955 ($19 per share less underwriting discounts). The net proceeds (before expenses) received by Cinemark Holdings, Inc. were $249,375 and Cinemark Holdings, Inc. paid approximately $3,526 in legal, accounting and other fees, all of which are recorded in its additional paid-in-capital. The selling stockholders granted the underwriters a 30-day option to purchase up to an additional 2,800,000 shares of Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s common stock at a price of $17.955 ($19 per share less underwriting discounts). On May 21, 2007, the underwriters purchased an additional 269,100 shares from the selling stockholders pursuant to this option. Cinemark Holdings, Inc. did not receive any proceeds from the sale of shares by the selling stockholders. Cinemark Holdings, Inc. has utilized a portion of the net proceeds that it received from the offering to repurchase a portion of Cinemark, Inc.’s outstanding 93/4% senior discount notes. Cinemark Holdings, Inc. expects to continue to use the net proceeds to repurchase a portion of Cinemark, Inc.’s remaining 93/4% senior discount notes. Cinemark, Inc.’s 93/4% senior discount notes were subject to repurchase beginning March 15, 2009. Accordingly, if Cinemark Holdings, Inc. is unable to repurchase the 93/4% senior discount notes at acceptable prices, Cinemark Holdings, Inc. will evaluate the use of a portion of the remaining net proceeds to repay Cinemark USA, Inc.’s term loan debt outstanding under its senior secured credit facility. Cinemark Holdings, Inc. has significant flexibility in applying the net proceeds from the initial public offering. Cinemark Holdings, Inc. has invested the remaining net proceeds in money market funds.
 
4.   MERGER WITH MADISON DEARBORN PARTNERS AND RELATED CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING BASIS
 
On April 2, 2004, a newly formed subsidiary of an affiliate of Madison Dearborn Partners (“MDP”) was merged with and into Cinemark, Inc., with Cinemark, Inc. continuing as the surviving corporation (the “MDP Merger”). Simultaneously, an affiliate of MDP purchased shares of Cinemark, Inc.’s common stock for $518,245 in cash and became Cinemark, Inc.’s controlling stockholder, owning approximately 83% of Cinemark, Inc.’s capital stock. Lee Roy Mitchell, Cinemark, Inc.’s then Chief Executive Officer, and the Mitchell Special Trust collectively retained approximately 16% ownership of Cinemark, Inc.’s capital stock with certain members of management owning the remaining 1%.
 
On April 2, 2004, the Company accounted for the MDP Merger as a leveraged recapitalization, which resulted in the Company and its subsidiaries retaining their historical book values. Upon the Cinemark Share Exchange on October 5, 2006, and the resulting change in reporting entity, the Company was required to prepare its financial statements to reflect the accounting basis of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. Cinemark Holdings, Inc. accounted for the MDP merger under the purchase method of accounting on April 2, 2004.

Goodwill represents the excess of the costs of acquiring Century over amounts assigned to assets acquired, including identifiable intangible assets, and liabilities assumed. The goodwill recorded as a result of the Century Acquisition was not deductible for tax purposes.
 
On October 5, 2006, the Company entered into a senior secured credit facility, which provided for a $1,120,000 term loan and a $150,000 revolving credit line. The net proceeds of the term loan were used to finance a portion of the $531,225 cash portion of the purchase price, to repay in full the $253,500 outstanding under the former senior secured credit facility, repay approximately $360,000 of existing indebtedness of Century and to pay related fees and expenses. See Note 13 for further discussion of long-term debt.
 
The Century Acquisition is reflected in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations for the period subsequent to the transaction date and is reported in the Company’s U.S. operating segment.

6.   INVESTMENT IN NATIONAL CINEMEDIA LLC AND TRANSACTION RELATED TO ITS INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING
 
In March 2005, Regal Entertainment Inc. (“Regal”) and AMC Entertainment Inc. (“AMC”) formed National CineMedia, LLC, or “NCM”, and on July 15, 2005, the Company joined NCM, as one of the founding members. NCM operates the largest digital in-theatre network in the U.S. for providing cinema advertising and non-film events and combines the cinema advertising and non-film events businesses of the three largest motion picture companies in the U.S. Upon joining NCM, the Company and NCM entered into an Exhibitor Services Agreement, pursuant to which NCM provides advertising, promotion and event services to the Company’s theatres. On February 13, 2007, National CineMedia, Inc., or NCM Inc., a newly formed entity that now serves as a member and the sole manager of NCM, completed an initial public offering of its common stock. In connection with the NCM Inc. initial public offering, the Company amended its operating agreement with NCM and the Exhibitor Services Agreement pursuant to which NCM provides advertising, promotion and event services to the Company’s theatres. In connection with NCM Inc.’s initial public offering and the transactions described below (the “NCM Transaction”), the Company received an aggregate of $389,003.
 
Prior to pricing the initial public offering of NCM Inc., NCM completed a recapitalization whereby (1) each issued and outstanding Class A unit of NCM was split into 44,291 Class A units, and (2) following such split of Class A Units, each issued and outstanding Class A Unit was recapitalized into one common unit and one preferred unit. As a result, the Company received 14,159,437 common units and 14,159,437 preferred units. All existing preferred units of NCM, or 55,850,951 preferred units, held by Regal, AMC and the Company were redeemed on a pro-rata basis on February 13, 2007. NCM utilized the proceeds of its new $725,000 term loan facility and a portion of the proceeds it received from NCM Inc. from its initial public offering to redeem all of its outstanding preferred units. Each preferred unit was redeemed for $13.7782 and the Company received approximately $195,092 as payment in full for redemption of all of the Company’s preferred units in NCM. Upon payment of such amount, each preferred unit was cancelled and the holders of the preferred units ceased to have any rights with respect to the preferred units.
 
At the closing of the initial public offering, the underwriters exercised their over-allotment option to purchase additional shares of common stock of NCM Inc. at the initial public offering price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. In connection with the over-allotment option exercise, Regal, AMC and the Company each sold to NCM Inc. common units of NCM on a pro-rata basis at the initial public offering price, less underwriting discounts and expenses. The Company sold 1,014,088 common units to NCM Inc. for proceeds of $19,910, and upon completion of this sale of common units, the Company owned 13,145,349 common units of NCM. The net proceeds of $215,002 from the above described stock transactions were applied against the Company’s existing investment basis in NCM of $4,069 until such basis was reduced to $0 with the remaining $210,933 of proceeds net of $160 of transaction related costs, recorded as a gain of $210,773 in the consolidated statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 2007.
 
NCM also paid the Company a portion of the proceeds it received from NCM Inc. in the initial public offering for agreeing to modify NCM’s payment obligation under the prior Exhibitor Services Agreement. The modification agreed to by the Company reflects a shift from circuit share expense under the prior Exhibitor Services Agreement, which obligated NCM to pay the Company a percentage of revenue, to the monthly theatre access fee described below. The theatre access fee will significantly reduce the contractual amounts paid to the Company by NCM. In exchange for the Company agreeing to so modify the agreement, NCM paid the Company approximately $174,001 upon modification of the Exhibitor Services Agreement on February 13, 2007, the proceeds of which were recorded as deferred revenue on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company believes this payment approximates the fair value of the Exhibitor Services Agreement modification. The deferred revenue is being amortized into other revenues over the life of the agreement using the units of revenue method. Regal and AMC similarly amended their exhibitor service agreements with NCM.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
In consideration for NCM’s exclusive access to the Company’s theatre attendees for on-screen advertising and use of off-screen locations within the Company’s theatres for the lobby entertainment network and lobby promotions, the Company will receive a monthly theatre access fee under the Exhibitor Services Agreement. The theatre access fee is composed of a fixed payment per patron, initially seven cents, and a fixed payment per digital screen, which may be adjusted for certain enumerated reasons. The payment per theatre patron will increase by 8% every five years, with the first such increase taking effect after the end of fiscal 2011, and the payment per digital screen, initially eight hundred dollars per digital screen per year, will increase annually by 5%, beginning after 2007. For 2008, the annual payment per digital screen is eight hundred forty dollars. The theatre access fee paid in the aggregate to Regal, AMC and the Company will not be less than 12% of NCM’s Aggregate Advertising Revenue (as defined in the Exhibitor Services Agreement), or it will be adjusted upward to reach this minimum payment. Additionally, with respect to any on-screen advertising time provided to the Company’s beverage concessionaire, the Company is required to purchase such time from NCM at a negotiated rate. The Exhibitor Services Agreement has, except with respect to certain limited services, a term of 30 years.
 
Prior to the initial public offering of NCM Inc. common stock, the Company’s ownership interest in NCM was approximately 25% and subsequent to the completion of the offering the Company held a 14% interest in NCM. Subsequent to NCM Inc.’s initial public offering, the Company continues to account for its investment in NCM under the equity method of accounting due to its ability to exercise significant control over NCM. The Company has substantial rights as a founding member, including the right to designate a total of two nominees to the ten-member board of directors of NCM Inc., the sole manager. So long as the Company owns at least 5% of NCM’s membership interests, approval of at least 90% (80% if the board has less than 10 directors) will be required before NCM Inc. may take certain actions including but not limited to mergers and acquisitions, issuance of common or preferred shares, approval of NCM Inc.’s budget, incurrence of indebtedness, entering into or terminating material agreements, and modifications to its articles of incorporation or bylaws. Additionally, if any of the Company’s director designees are not appointed to the board of directors of NCM Inc., nominated by NCM Inc. or elected by NCM Inc.’s stockholders, then the Company (so long as the Company continues to own at least 5% of NCM’s membership interest) will be entitled to approve certain actions of NCM including without limitation, approval of the budget, incurrence of indebtedness, consummating or amending material agreements, approving dividends, amending the NCM operating agreement, hiring or termination of the chief executive officer, chief financial officer, chief technology officer or chief marketing officer of NCM and the dissolution or liquidation of NCM.
 
During 2008, NCM performed a common unit adjustment calculation in accordance with the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement dated as of February 13, 2007 between NCM, Inc. and the Company, Regal and AMC. The common unit adjustment is based on the change in the number of screens operated by and attendance of the Company, AMC and Regal. As a result of the common unit adjustment calculation, the Company received an additional 846,303 common units of NCM, each of which is convertible into one share of NCM, Inc. common stock. The Company recorded the additional common units received at fair value as an investment with a corresponding adjustment to deferred revenue of $19,020. The common unit adjustment resulted in an increase in the Company’s ownership percentage in NCM from approximately 14.0% to approximately 14.5%.
 
Subsequent to the annual common unit adjustment discussed above, in May 2008, Regal completed an acquisition of another theatre circuit that required an extraordinary common unit adjustment calculation by NCM in accordance with the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement. As a result of this extraordinary common unit adjustment, Regal was granted additional common units of NCM, which resulted in dilution of the Company’s ownership interest in NCM from 14.5% to 14.1%. The Company recognized a change of interest loss of approximately $75 during the year ended December 31, 2008 as a result of this extraordinary common unit adjustment, which is reflected in (gain) loss on sale of assets and other on the consolidated statement of operations.

9.   SHARE EXCHANGES WITH MINORITY PARTNERS
 
During May 2008, the Company’s partners in Central America (the “Central American Partners”) exercised an option available to them under an Exchange Option Agreement dated February 7, 2007 between Cinemark Holdings, Inc. and the Central American Partners. Under this option, which was contingent upon completion of an initial public offering of common stock by Cinemark Holdings, Inc., the Central American Partners were entitled to exchange their shares in Cinemark Equity Holdings Corporation, which is the Company’s Central American holding company, for shares of Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s common stock. The number of shares to be exchanged was determined based on Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s equity value and the equity value of the Central American Partner’s interest in Cinemark Equity Holdings Corporation, both of which are defined in the Exchange Option Agreement. As a result of this exchange on October 1, 2008, Cinemark Holdings, Inc. issued 902,981 shares of its common stock to the Company’s Central American Partners (the “Central America Share Exchange”). Simultaneously, Cinemark Holdings, Inc. contributed the shares it received in Cinemark Equity Holdings Corporation to Cinemark, Inc. who then contributed the shares received to the Company. As a result of this transaction, the Company owns 100% of the shares in Cinemark Equity Holdings Corporation.

(2) U.S. operating segment includes one theatre located in Canada.
 
(3) The Company acquired one theatre in the U.S. during 2008 for approximately $5,011, which resulted in an allocation of $2,892 to goodwill and $2,119 to theatre properties and equipment.
 
(4) The Company acquired two theatres in Brazil during 2008 for approximately $5,100 which resulted in a preliminary allocation of $2,247 to goodwill, $2,368 to theatre properties and equipment, and $485 to intangible assets.
 
(5) See Note 9.
 
The goodwill impairment charges taken during the year ended December 31, 2007 were primarily a result of the modification of the Company’s Exhibitor Services Agreement with NCM, which significantly reduced the contractual amounts paid to the Company (see Note 6). The Company evaluated the carrying value of its goodwill as of March 31, 2007, which resulted in a majority of the goodwill impairment charges recorded during the year ended December 31, 2007. The goodwill impairment charges taken during the year ended December 31, 2008 were primarily a result of the Company’s determination that the multiple used to estimate the fair value of its reporting units should be reduced to reflect the dramatic decline in market values that resulted from significant decreases in Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s stock price and the declines in the market capitalizations of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. and the Company’s competitors that occurred during the fourth quarter of 2008. The Company reduced the multiple from eight times cash flows to six and a half times cash flows, which significantly reduced the Company’s estimated fair values.

Senior Secured Credit Facility
 
On October 5, 2006, in connection with the Century Acquisition, the Company entered into a senior secured credit facility. The senior secured credit facility provides for a seven year term loan of $1,120,000 and a $150,000 revolving credit line that matures in six years unless the Company’s 9% senior subordinated notes have not been refinanced by August 1, 2012 with indebtedness that matures no earlier than seven and one-half years after the closing date of the senior secured credit facility, in which case the maturity date of the revolving credit line becomes August 1, 2012. The net proceeds of the term loan were used to finance a portion of the $531,225 cash portion of the Century Acquisition, repay in full the $253,500 outstanding under the former senior secured credit facility, repay approximately $360,000 of existing indebtedness of Century and to pay for related fees and expenses. The revolving credit line was left undrawn at closing. The revolving credit line is used for general corporate purposes.
 
At December 31, 2008, there was $1,094,800 outstanding under the term loan and no borrowings outstanding under the revolving credit line. A minimum of approximately $121,431 was available for borrowing under the revolving credit line. The availability of the Company’s revolving credit facility may have recently been impacted by the bankruptcy of one of the lenders under the facility. As such, while the Company currently has only $69 (related to a letter of credit) outstanding under the $150 million revolving credit facility, it is uncertain whether this lender would fund its $28,500 commitment under the revolving credit facility. The average interest rate on outstanding borrowings under the senior secured credit facility at December 31, 2008 was 4.3% per annum.
 
Under the term loan, principal payments of $2,800 are due each calendar quarter beginning December 31, 2006 through September 30, 2012 and increase to $263,200 each calendar quarter from December 31, 2012 to maturity at October 5, 2013. Prior to the amendment to the senior secured credit facility discussed below, the term loan accrued interest, at the Company’s option, at: (A) the base rate equal to the higher of (1) the prime lending rate as set forth on the British Banking Association Telerate page 5 or (2) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50%, plus a margin that ranges from 0.75% to 1.00% per annum, or (B) a “eurodollar rate” plus a margin that ranges from 1.75% to 2.00% per annum, in each case as adjusted pursuant to the Company’s corporate credit rating. Borrowings under the revolving credit line bear interest, at the Company’s option, at: (A) a base rate equal to the higher of (1) the prime lending rate as set forth on the British Banking Association Telerate page 5 and (2) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50%, plus a margin that ranges from 0.50% to 1.00% per annum, or (B) a “eurodollar rate” plus a margin that ranges from 1.50% to 2.00% per annum, in each case as adjusted pursuant to the Company’s consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio as defined in the credit agreement. The Company is required to pay a commitment fee calculated at the rate of 0.50% per annum on the average daily unused portion of the revolving credit line, payable quarterly in arrears, which rate decreases to 0.375% per annum for any fiscal

quarter in which the Company’s consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio on the last day of such fiscal quarter is less than 2.25 to 1.0.
 
On March 14, 2007, the Company amended its senior secured credit facility to, among other things, modify the interest rate on the term loans under the senior secured credit facility, modify certain prepayment terms and covenants, and facilitate the tender offer for the 9% senior subordinated notes. The term loans now accrue interest, at the Company’s option, at: (A) the base rate equal to the higher of (1) the prime lending rate as set forth on the British Banking Association Telerate page 5, or (2) the federal funds effective rate from time to time plus 0.50%, plus a margin that ranges from 0.50% to 0.75% per annum, or (B) a “eurodollar rate” plus a margin that ranges from 1.50% to 1.75%, per annum. In each case, the margin is a function of the corporate credit rating applicable to the borrower. The interest rate on the revolving credit line was not amended. Additionally, the amendment removed any obligation to prepay amounts outstanding under the senior secured credit facility in an amount equal to the amount of the net cash proceeds received from the NCM Transaction or from excess cash flows, and imposed a 1% prepayment premium for one year on certain prepayments of the term loans.
 
The Company’s obligations under the senior secured credit facility are guaranteed by Cinemark Holdings, Inc., Cinemark, Inc., and certain of its domestic subsidiaries and are secured by mortgages on certain fee and leasehold properties and security interests in substantially all of the Company’s and the guarantors’ personal property, including, without limitation, pledges of all of its capital stock, all of the capital stock of Cinemark, Inc., and certain of its domestic subsidiaries and 65% of the voting stock of certain of its foreign subsidiaries.
 
The senior secured credit facility contains usual and customary negative covenants for agreements of this type, including, but not limited to, restrictions on the Company’s ability, and in certain instances, its subsidiaries’ and Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s, and Cinemark, Inc.’s ability, to consolidate or merge or liquidate, wind up or dissolve; substantially change the nature of its business; sell, transfer or dispose of assets; create or incur indebtedness; create liens; pay dividends, repurchase stock and voluntarily repurchase or redeem the 93/4% senior discount notes; and make capital expenditures and investments. The senior secured credit facility also requires the Company to satisfy a consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio covenant as determined in accordance with the senior secured credit facility. The dividend restriction contained in the senior secured credit facility prevents the Company and any of its subsidiaries from paying a dividend or otherwise distributing cash to its stockholders unless (1) the Company is not in default, and the distribution would not cause the Company to be in default, under the senior secured credit facility; and (2) the aggregate amount of certain dividends, distributions, investments, redemptions and capital expenditures made since October 5, 2006, including dividends declared by the board of directors, is less than the sum of (a) the aggregate amount of cash and cash equivalents received by Cinemark Holdings, Inc. or the Company as common equity since October 5, 2006, (b) the Company’s consolidated EBITDA minus 1.75 times its consolidated interest expense, each as defined in the senior secured credit facility, since October 1, 2006, (c) $150 million and (d) certain other amounts specified in the senior secured credit facility, subject to certain adjustments specified in the senior secured credit facility. The dividend restriction is subject to certain exceptions specified in the senior secured credit facility.
 
The senior secured credit facility also includes customary events of default, including, among other things, payment default, covenant default, breach of representation or warranty, bankruptcy, cross-default, material ERISA events, certain types of change of control, material money judgments and failure to maintain subsidiary guarantees. If an event of default occurs, all commitments under the senior secured credit facility may be terminated and all obligations under the senior secured credit facility could be accelerated by the lenders, causing all loans outstanding (including accrued interest and fees payable thereunder) to be declared immediately due and payable.

Former Senior Secured Credit Facility
 
On October 5, 2006, in connection with the Century Acquisition, the $253,500 outstanding under the former senior secured credit facility was repaid in full with a portion of the proceeds from the senior secured credit facility. During the year ended December 31, 2006, the Company recorded a loss on early retirement of debt of $5,782 related to the write-off of unamortized debt issue costs associated with the former senior secured credit facility.
 
Senior Subordinated Notes
 
On February 11, 2003, the Company issued $150,000 aggregate principal amount of 9% senior subordinated notes due 2013 and on May 7, 2003, the Company issued an additional $210,000 aggregate principal amount of 9% senior subordinated notes due 2013, collectively referred to as the 9% senior subordinated notes. Interest is payable on February 1 and August 1 of each year.
 
Prior to 2006, the Company repurchased a total of $17,750 aggregate principal amount of its 9% senior subordinated notes. The transaction was funded by the Company with available cash from operations.
 
During 2006, as part of three open market purchases, the Company repurchased $10,000 aggregate principal amount of its 9% senior subordinated notes for approximately $10,977, including cash premiums paid and accrued and unpaid interest. The transactions were funded by the Company with available cash from operations. The Company recorded a loss on early retirement of debt of $126 during the year ended December 31, 2006 related to the 2006 repurchases, which included the writeoff of unamortized debt issue costs and tender offer repurchase costs, including premiums paid, related to the retired senior subordinated notes.
 
On March 6, 2007, the Company commenced an offer to purchase for cash any and all of its then outstanding $332,250 aggregate principal amount of 9% senior subordinated notes. In connection with the tender offer, the Company solicited consents for certain proposed amendments to the indenture to remove substantially all restrictive covenants and certain events of default provisions. On March 20, 2007, the early settlement date, the Company repurchased $332,000 aggregate principal amount of 9% senior subordinated notes and executed a supplemental indenture removing substantially all of the restrictive covenants and certain events of default. The Company used the proceeds from the NCM Transaction and cash on hand to purchase the 9% senior subordinated notes tendered pursuant to the tender offer and consent solicitation. On March 20, 2007, the Company and the Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A., as trustee to the Indenture dated February 11, 2003, executed the Fourth Supplemental Indenture. The Fourth Supplemental Indenture became effective on March 20, 2007 and it amends the Indenture by eliminating substantially all restrictive covenants and certain events of default provisions. On April 3, 2007, the Company repurchased an additional $66 aggregate principal amount of the 9% senior subordinated notes tendered after the early settlement date. The Company recorded a loss on early retirement of debt of $7,952 during the year ended December 31, 2007, related to the 2007 repurchases, which consisted of tender offer repurchase costs, including premiums paid and other fees, and the write-off of unamortized debt issue costs, partially offset by the write-off of an unamortized bond premium.
 
During 2008, in one open market purchase, the Company repurchased $3 aggregate principal amount of its 9% senior subordinated notes.
 
As of December 31, 2008, the Company had outstanding approximately $181 aggregate principal amount of 9% senior subordinated notes. The Company may redeem the remaining 9% senior subordinated notes at its option at any time.

Covenant Compliance and Debt Maturity
 
As of December 31, 2008, the Company was in full compliance with all agreements, including related covenants, governing its outstanding debt. The Company’s long-term debt at December 31, 2008 matures as follows:

  $ 12,450  
2010
    12,113

2013
    789,781

Total
  $ 1,097,144  
         
 
In addition to the Company’s outstanding borrowings noted above, as of March 31, 2009, the Company’s parent, Cinemark, Inc. has approximately $419,403 aggregate principal amount at maturity of 93/4% senior discount notes due 2014 outstanding. Interest on the notes accreted until March 15, 2009 up to an aggregate principal amount. Cash interest began to accrue at that time and will be payable semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15, commencing on September 15, 2009. Due to Cinemark, Inc.’s holding company status, payments of principal and interest under these notes will be dependent on loans, dividends and other payments from the Company to Cinemark, Inc. To date, the Company has paid dividends of approximately $31,745 to Cinemark, Inc. for the purpose of repurchasing a portion of its senior discount notes in open market purchases during the period from January 1, 2006 to October 4, 2006.
 
The estimated fair value of the Company’s long-term debt at December 31, 2008 was approximately $1,104,188. This amount does not include prepayment penalties that would be incurred upon the early extinguishment of certain debt issues.
 
Debt issue costs of $24,304, less accumulated amortization of $8,118, are related to the senior subordinated notes, the senior secured credit facility and other debt agreements and are included in deferred charges and other assets — net, on the consolidated balance sheets at December 31, 2008 (See Note 12).
 
14.   INTEREST RATE SWAP AGREEMENTS
 
During 2007 and 2008, the Company entered into three interest rate swap agreements. The interest rate swap agreements qualify for cash flow hedge accounting. The fair values of the interest rate swaps are recorded on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as an asset or liability with the effective portion of the interest rate swaps’ gains or losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and the ineffective portion reported in earnings.
 
In March 2007, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements with effective dates of August 13, 2007 and terms of five years each. The interest rate swaps were designated to hedge approximately $500,000 of the Company’s variable rate debt obligations under its senior secured credit facility. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements, the Company pays fixed rates of 4.918% and 4.922% on $375,000 and $125,000, respectively, of variable rate debt and receives interest at a variable rate based on the 3-month LIBOR. The 3-month LIBOR rate on each reset date determines the variable portion of the interest rate swaps for the three-month period following the reset date. No premium or discount was incurred upon the Company entering into the interest rate swaps because the pay and receive rates on the interest rate swaps represented prevailing rates for each counterparty at the time the interest rate swaps were consummated. The Company estimates the fair values of the interest rate swaps by comparing estimated future interest payments to be made under forecasted future 3-month LIBOR to the fixed rates in accordance with the interest rate swaps

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
On September 14, 2008, the counterparty to the $375,000 interest rate swap agreement filed for bankruptcy protection. As a result, the Company determined that on September 15, 2008, when the counterparty’s credit rating was downgraded, the interest rate swap was no longer highly effective. On October 1, 2008, this interest rate swap was terminated by the Company. The change in fair value of this interest rate swap agreement from inception to September 14, 2008 of $18,147 was recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. The change in fair value from September 15, 2008 through September 30, 2008 of $3,324 and the gain on termination of $2,098 were recorded in earnings as a component of interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2008. Upon termination of this swap, the Company paid approximately $13,804, including accrued interest of $1,079, pursuant to the terms of the interest rate swap agreement. The Company determined that the forecasted transactions hedged by this interest rate swap are still probable to occur, thus the total amount reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to this swap of $18,147 is being amortized on a straight-line basis to interest expense over the period during which the forecasted transactions are expected to occur, which is September 15, 2008 through August 13, 2012. The Company amortized approximately $1,351 to interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2008. The Company will amortize approximately $4,633 to interest expense over the next twelve months.
 
On October 3, 2008, the Company entered into one interest rate swap agreement with an effective date of November 14, 2008 and a term of four years. The interest rate swap was designated to hedge approximately $100,000 of the Company’s variable rate debt obligations under its senior secured credit facility for three years and $75,000 of the Company’s variable rate debt obligations under its senior secured credit facility for four years. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, the Company pays a fixed rate of 3.63% on $175,000 of variable rate debt and receives interest at a variable rate based on the 1-month LIBOR. The 1-month LIBOR rate on each reset date determines the variable portion of the interest rate swap for the one-month period following the reset date. No premium or discount was incurred upon the Company entering into the interest rate swap because the pay and receive rates on the interest rate swap represented prevailing rates for the counterparty at the time the interest rate swap was consummated.
 
As of December 31, 2008, the fair values of the $125,000 interest rate swap and the $175,000 interest rate swap were liabilities of approximately $13,304 and $11,477, respectively, which have been reported as a component of other long-term liabilities. These interest rate swaps exhibited no ineffectiveness during the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, therefore changes in the fair value of these swaps have been reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
 
15.   FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION
 
The accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) account in stockholders’ equity of $32,695 and $(72,347) at December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008, respectively, includes the cumulative foreign currency adjustments of $44,043 and $(40,287), respectively, from translating the financial statements of the Company’s international subsidiaries.
 
In 2007 and 2008, all foreign countries where the Company has operations were deemed nonhighly inflationary. Thus, any fluctuation in the currency results in a cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment recorded to accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
 
On December 31, 2008, the exchange rate for the Brazilian real was 2.36 reais to the U.S. dollar (the exchange rate was 1.77 reais to the U.S. dollar at December 31, 2007). As a result, the effect of translating the December 31, 2008 Brazilian financial statements into U.S. dollars is reflected as a cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment to the accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) account as a decrease in stockholders’ equity of $49,951. At December 31, 2008, the total assets of the Company’s Brazilian subsidiaries were U.S. $170,378.

During 2008, NCM performed a common unit adjustment calculation in accordance with the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement dated as of February 13, 2007 between NCM, Inc. and the Company, Regal and AMC. As a result of the common unit adjustment calculation, the Company received an additional 846,303 common units of NCM, each of which is convertible into one share of NCM, Inc. common stock. The Company recorded the additional common units received at fair value as an investment with a corresponding adjustment to deferred revenue of $19,020. The common unit adjustment resulted in an increase in the Company’s ownership percentage in NCM from approximately 14.0% at December 31, 2007 to approximately 14.5%. The Company’s ownership percentage in NCM was subsequently reduced from 14.5% to 14.1% as of December 31, 2008 as a result of an extraordinary common unit adjustment in which Regal was granted additional common units of NCM. The Company’s basis in these additional shares was increased to $19,141 as of December 31, 2008 as a result of equity income of approximately $840, offset by distributions received of approximately $644 and a change of interest loss of approximately $75 recorded during 2008. See Note 6.

18.   CAPITAL STOCK
 
Common and Preferred Stock — Holders of Class A common stock have exclusive voting rights. Holders of Class B common stock have no voting rights except upon any proposed amendments to the articles of incorporation. However, they may convert their Class B common stock, at their option, to Class A common stock. In the event of any liquidation, holders of the Class A and Class B common stock will be entitled to their pro-rata share of assets remaining after any holders of preferred stock have received their preferential amounts based on their respective shares held.
 
The Company has 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $1.00 par value, authorized with none issued or outstanding. The rights and preferences of preferred stock will be determined by the Board of Directors at the time of issuance.
 
The Company’s ability to pay dividends is effectively limited by the terms of its senior secured credit facility, which also significantly restrict the ability of certain of the Company’s subsidiaries to pay dividends directly or indirectly to the Company. Furthermore, certain of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries currently have a deficit in retained earnings which prevents the Company from declaring and paying dividends from those subsidiaries.
 
Share Based Awards — On September 30, 2004, Cinemark, Inc.’s board of directors and the majority of its stockholders approved the 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”) under which 9,097,360 shares of common stock are available for issuance to selected employees, directors and consultants of the Company. The 2004 Plan provided for restricted share grants, incentive option grants and nonqualified option grants.
 
On August 2, 2006, Cinemark Holdings, Inc. was formed as the Delaware holding company of Cinemark, Inc. Under a share exchange agreement dated August 7, 2006, each outstanding share of Cinemark, Inc.’s Class A common stock was exchanged for an equivalent number of shares of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. common stock. The share exchange was completed on October 5, 2006.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
In November 2006, Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s board of directors amended the 2004 Plan to provide that no additional awards may be granted under the 2004 Plan. At that time, the Board of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. and the majority of Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s stockholders approved the 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”) and all options to purchase shares of Cinemark, Inc.’s Class A common stock under the 2004 Plan were exchanged for an equal number of options to purchase shares of Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s common stock under the 2006 Plan. The 2006 Plan is substantially similar to the 2004 Plan.
 
During September 2007, Cinemark Holdings, Inc. filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-8 for purposes of registering shares available for issuance under the 2006 Plan.
 
During October 2007, Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s board of directors and a majority of its stockholders approved an amendment to the 2006 Plan to provide for the ability to exercise an option on a cashless basis, by decreasing the number of shares deliverable upon the exercise of such option by an amount equal to the number of shares having an aggregate fair market value equal to the aggregate exercise price of such option. The amendment did not result in any additional compensation expense to the Company.
 
During March 2008, Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s board of directors approved the Amended and Restated Cinemark Holdings, Inc. 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Restated Incentive Plan”). The Restated Incentive Plan amends and restates the 2006 Plan, to (i) increase the number of shares reserved for issuance from 9,097,360 shares of common stock to 19,100,000 shares of common stock and (ii) permit the Compensation Committee of Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s board of directors (the “Compensation Committee”) to award participants restricted stock units and performance awards. The right of a participant to exercise or receive a grant of a restricted stock unit or performance award may be subject to the satisfaction of such performance or objective business criteria as determined by the Compensation Committee. With the exception of the changes identified in (i) and (ii) above, the Restated Incentive Plan does not materially differ from the 2006 Plan. The Restated Incentive Plan was approved by Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s stockholders at its annual meeting held on May 15, 2008.
 
During August 2008, Cinemark Holdings, Inc. filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-8 for the purpose of registering the additional shares available for issuance under the Restated Incentive Plan.
 
Stock Options — On September 30, 2004, Cinemark, Inc. granted options to purchase 6,986,731 shares of its common stock under the 2004 Plan at an exercise price of $7.63 per option. The exercise price was equal to the fair market value of Cinemark, Inc.’s common stock on the date of grant. Options to purchase 692,976 shares vested immediately and the remaining options granted in 2004 vest daily over the period ending April 1, 2009. The options expire ten years from the grant date. On January 28, 2005, Cinemark, Inc. granted options to purchase 12,055 shares of its common stock under the Plan at an exercise price of $7.63 per option (equal to the market value at the date of grant). The options vest daily over five years and the options expire ten years from the grant date. The weighted average remaining contractual term of these outstanding options is approximately 5.75 years. All stock option information has been adjusted to give effect to a 2.9585-for-1 stock split effected by Cinemark Holdings, Inc. on April 9, 2007.

Restricted Stock — During the year ended December 31, 2008, Cinemark Holdings, Inc. granted 353,948 shares of restricted stock to employees of the Company. The fair value of the shares of restricted stock was determined based on the market value of Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s stock on the dates of grant, which ranged from $8.87 to $14.65 per share. The Company assumed forfeiture rates ranging from zero to 2% for the restricted stock awards. The restricted stock vests over periods ranging from one year to four years based on continued service by the independent director or employee.
 
There was no restricted stock activity during the period from January 1, 2006 to October 4, 2006, the period from October 5, 2006 to December 31, 2006, or the year ended December 31, 2007. A summary of restricted stock activity for the year ended December 31, 2008 is as follows:

During 2008, the Company changed its estimated forfeiture rate on certain of these grants from 2% to 5%, based on actual cumulative restricted stock forfeitures. The cumulative impact of the increased forfeiture rate was approximately $14 and was recorded as a reduction in compensation expense during the year ended December 31, 2008.
 
The Company recorded total compensation expense of $919 related to these restricted stock awards during the year ended December 31, 2008. As of December 31, 2008, the remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to these restricted stock awards was approximately $3,648 and the weighted average period over which this remaining compensation expense will be recognized is approximately 2.75 years. The total fair value of shares vested during the year ended December 31, 2008 was $2. Upon vesting, the Company receives an income tax deduction. The Company recognized a tax benefit of $1 during the year ended December 31, 2008 related to the restricted stock that vested during 2008. The recipients of restricted stock are entitled to receive dividends and to vote their respective shares, however the sale and transfer of the restricted shares is prohibited during the restriction period.
 
Restricted Stock Units — During the year ended December 31, 2008, Cinemark Holdings, Inc. granted restricted stock units representing 204,361 hypothetical shares of its common stock under the Restated

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
Incentive Plan. The restricted stock units vest based on a combination of financial performance factors and continued service. The financial performance factors are based on an implied equity value concept that determines an internal rate of return (“IRR”) during the three fiscal year period ending December 31, 2010 based on a formula utilizing a multiple of Adjusted EBITDA subject to certain specified adjustments (as defined in the restricted stock unit award agreement). The financial performance factors for the restricted stock units have a threshold, target and maximum level of payment opportunity. If the IRR for the three year period is at least 8.5%, which is the threshold, one-third of the restricted stock units vest. If the IRR for the three year period is at least 10.5%, which is the target, two-thirds of the restricted stock units vest. If the IRR for the three year period is at least 12.5%, which is the maximum, 100% of the restricted stock units vest. All payouts of restricted stock units that vest are subject to an additional one year service requirement and will be paid in the form of common stock if the participant continues to provide services through the fourth anniversary of the grant date. Restricted stock unit award participants are eligible to receive dividend equivalent payments if and at the time the restricted stock unit awards become vested.
 
Below is a table summarizing the potential restricted stock unit awards at each of the three levels of financial performance (excluding forfeiture assumptions):
 
                 
    Number of
   
    Shares
  Value at
    Vesting   Grant
 
at IRR of at least 8.5%
    68,116     $ 885  
at IRR of at least 10.5%
    136,239     $ 1,771  
at IRR of at least 12.5%
    204,361     $ 2,656  
 
Due to the fact that the IRR for the three year period ending December 31, 2010 could not be determined at the time of grants, the Company estimated that the most likely outcome is the achievement of the mid-point IRR level. As a result, the total compensation expense to be recorded for the restricted stock unit awards is $1,755 assuming a total of 135,027 units will vest at the end of the four year period, using a forfeiture rate ranging from zero to 2%. If during the service period, additional information becomes available to lead the Company to believe a different IRR level will be achieved for the three year period ending December 31, 2010, the Company will reassess the number of units that will vest and adjust its compensation expense accordingly on a prospective basis over the remaining service period. The fair value of the number of units expected to vest was determined based on the market value of Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s stock on the dates of grant, which ranged from $12.89 to $13.14 per share. The Company recorded compensation expense of $326 related to these awards during the year ended December 31, 2008. As of December 31, 2008, the remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to these restricted stock unit awards was $1,429 and the weighted average period over which this remaining compensation expense will be recognized is approximately 3.25 years.

The Company reinvests the undistributed earnings of its foreign subsidiaries, with the exception of its subsidiary in Ecuador. Accordingly, deferred U.S. federal and state income taxes are provided only on the undistributed earnings of the Company’s Ecuador subsidiary. As of December 31, 2008, the cumulative amount of undistributed earnings of the foreign subsidiaries on which the Company has not recognized income taxes was approximately $106,000.

The Company’s valuation allowance against deferred tax assets increased from $9,872 at December 31, 2007 to $13,463 at December 31, 2008. The increase in the valuation allowance was primarily due to an increase in the valuation allowance related to state and foreign net operating loss carryovers.

The Company’s foreign tax credit carryforwards begin expiring in 2015. The foreign net operating losses began expiring in 2002; however, some losses may be carried forward indefinitely. The vast majority of state net operating losses may be carried forward for up to twenty years with the last expiring year being 2026.
 
Uncertain Tax Positions
 
The following is a reconciliation of the total amounts of unrecognized tax benefits excluding interest and penalties since the adoption of FIN 48:
 
         
Balance at January 1, 2007
  $ 10,512  
Gross increases — tax positions in prior period
    1,432  
Gross increases — current-period tax positions
    549  
         
Balance at December 31, 2007
  $ 12,493  
Gross increases — tax positions in prior period
    37  
Gross decreases — tax positions in prior period
    (166 )
Gross increases — current-period tax positions
    2,397  
Gross decreases — current-period tax positions
    (752 )
Reductions due to lapse in statute of limitations
    (33 )
         
Balance at December 31, 2008
  $ 13,976  
         
 
The Company had $15,500 and $17,523 of gross unrecognized tax benefits, including interest and penalties as of December 31, 2007 and December 31, 2008, respectively. Of these amounts, $10,768 and $13,851 represent the amount of unrecognized tax benefits that if recognized would impact the effective income tax rate for the years ended December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively. The Company had $3,007 and $3,547 accrued for interest and/or penalties as of December 31, 2007 and 2008, respectively.
 
The Company and its subsidiaries file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, and multiple state and foreign jurisdictions, and the Company is routinely under audit by many different tax authorities. The Company believes that its accrual for tax liabilities is adequate for all open audit years based on its assessment of many factors including past experience and interpretations of tax law. This assessment relies on estimates and assumptions and may involve a series of complex judgments about future events. The Company is no longer subject to income tax audits from the Internal Revenue Service for years before 2002. The Company is no longer subject to state income tax examinations by tax authorities in its major state jurisdictions for years before 2002. The Company is no longer subject to non-U.S. income tax examinations by tax authorities in its major non-U.S. tax jurisdictions for years before 2003.
 
The Company is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service for the 2002-2005 tax years. It is reasonably possible that the 2002-2004 audits could be completed within the next twelve months. This completion could result in a decrease in the Company’s total unrecognized benefits of approximately $10,775, which includes approximately $2,000 of accrued interest. As a result, the Company reclassified approximately $10,775 to current FIN 48 liability during the year ended December 31, 2008.
 
21.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Leases — The Company conducts a significant part of its theatre operations in leased properties under noncancelable operating and capital leases with terms generally ranging from 10 to 25 years. In addition to the minimum annual lease payments, some of the leases provide for contingent rentals based on operating results of the theatre and most require the payment of taxes, insurance and other costs applicable to the property. The Company can renew, at its option, a substantial portion of the leases at defined or then market rental rates for various periods. Some leases also provide for escalating rent payments throughout the lease

Employment Agreements — Effective June 16, 2008, Cinemark Holdings, Inc. entered into new employment agreements with Alan W. Stock, Timothy Warner, Robert Copple and Michael Cavalier and effective December 15, 2008, Cinemark Holdings, Inc. entered into new employment agreements with Lee Roy Mitchell, Rob Carmony, and John Lundin. Collectively these new employment agreements are herein referred to as the “New Employment Agreements”. Each of Messrs. Mitchell, Stock, Warner, Copple, Cavalier, Carmony and Lundin had an employment agreement with Cinemark, Inc., which became effective as of March 12, 2004 (the “Original Employment Agreements”). The New Employment Agreements replace the Original Employment Agreements.

Mitchell, Stock, Warner, Copple, Cavalier, Carmony and Lundin will receive base salaries of $795, $603, $442, $416, $338, $348, and $291 respectively, during 2008, which are subject to review during the term of the employment agreements for increase (but not decrease) each year by Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s Compensation Committee. In addition, Messers. Mitchell, Stock, Warner, Copple, Cavalier, Carmony and Lundin are eligible to receive annual cash incentive bonuses upon the Company meeting certain performance targets established by Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s Compensation Committee for the fiscal year.

program and are also entitled to certain additional benefits including life insurance and disability insurance. The New Employment Agreements provide for severance payments upon termination of employment, the amount and nature of which depends upon the reason for the termination of employment. Effective June 16, 2008, Cinemark Holdings, Inc. terminated its employment agreement with Tandy Mitchell.
 
Retirement Savings Plan — The Company has a 401(k) retirement savings plan for the benefit of all employees and makes contributions as determined annually by the board of directors. Contribution payments of $1,430 and $1,795 were made in 2007 (for plan year 2006) and 2008 (for plan year 2007), respectively. A liability of approximately $1,834 has been recorded at December 31, 2008 for contribution payments to be made in 2009 (for plan year 2008).
 
Letters of Credit and Collateral — The Company had outstanding letters of credit of $69, in connection with property and liability insurance coverage, at December 31, 2007 and 2008.
 
Litigation and Litigation Settlements — DOJ Litigation — In March 1999, the Department of Justice (“DOJ”) filed suit in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, against the Company alleging certain violations of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the “ADA”) relating to the Company’s wheelchair seating arrangements and seeking remedial action. An order granting summary judgment to the Company was issued in November 2001. The Department of Justice appealed the district court’s ruling with the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals. On November 7, 2003, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals reversed the summary judgment and sent the case back to the district court for further review without deciding whether wheelchair seating at the Company’s theatres comply with the ADA. The Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals also stated that if the district court found that the theatres did not comply with the ADA, any remedial action should be prospective only. The Company and the United States have resolved this lawsuit. A consent order was entered by the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Ohio, Eastern Division, on November 15, 2004. This consent order fully and finally resolves the United States v. Cinemark USA, Inc. lawsuit, and all claims asserted against the Company in that lawsuit have been dismissed with prejudice. Under the consent order, the Company will make modifications to wheelchair seating locations in fourteen stadium-style movie theatres, and spacing and companion seating modifications at 67 auditoriums at other stadium-styled movie theatres. These modifications must be completed by November 2009. Upon completion of these modifications, such theatres will comply with all existing and pending ADA wheelchair seating requirements, and no further modifications will be required to the Company’s other stadium-style movie theatres in the United States existing on the date of the consent order. Under the consent order, the DOJ approved the seating plans for nine stadium-styled movie theatres under construction. The Company and the DOJ have also created a safe harbor framework for the Company to construct all of its future stadium-style movie theatres. The DOJ has stipulated that all theatres built in compliance with the consent order will comply with the wheelchair seating requirements of the ADA. The Company believes that its obligations under the consent order are not material in the aggregate to its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
 
From time to time, the Company is involved in other various legal proceedings arising from the ordinary course of its business operations, such as personal injury claims, employment matters, landlord-tenant disputes and contractual disputes, some of which are covered by insurance. The Company believes its potential liability with respect to proceedings currently pending is not material, individually or in the aggregate, to the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
 
22.   SEGMENTS

25.   SUBSEQUENT EVENT — ISSUANCE OF CINEMARK USA, INC. 85/8% SENIOR NOTES DUE 2019
 
Issuance of Cinemark USA, Inc. 85/8% Senior Notes Due 2019
 
On June 29, 2009, Cinemark USA, Inc. issued $470,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.625% senior notes due 2019 with an original issue discount of $11,468, resulting in proceeds of approximately $458,532. The proceeds were primarily used to fund dividends to Cinemark, Inc. to repurchase Cinemark, Inc.’s 93/4% senior discount notes discussed below. Interest is payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year beginning on December 15, 2019. The senior notes mature on June 15, 2019. The Company incurred debt issue costs of approximately $11,976 in connection with the issuance.
 
The senior notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior unsecured basis by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries that guarantee, assume or become liable with respect to any of the Company’s or a guarantor’s debt. The senior notes and the guarantees are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s and its guarantor’s existing and future senior unsecured debt and senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s and its guarantor’s existing and future subordinated debt. The senior notes and the guarantees are effectively subordinated to all of the Company’s and its guarantor’s existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt, including all borrowings under the Company’s senior secured credit facility. The senior notes and the guarantees are structurally subordinated to all existing and future debt and other liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the senior notes.
 
The indenture to the senior notes contains covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of Cinemark USA, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries to (1) consummate specified asset sales, (2) make investments or other restricted payments, including paying dividends, making other distributions or repurchasing subordinated debt or equity, (3) incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock, (4) enter into

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
transactions with affiliates, (5) enter new lines of business, (6) merge or consolidate with, or sell all or substantially all of its assets to, another person and (7) create liens. Upon a change of control of Cinemark Holdings, Inc., Cinemark, Inc. or Cinemark USA, Inc., Cinemark USA, Inc. would be required to make an offer to repurchase the senior notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, through the date of repurchase. Certain asset dispositions are considered triggering events that may require Cinemark USA, Inc. to use the proceeds from those asset dispositions to make an offer to purchase the notes at 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase if such proceeds are not otherwise used within 365 days as described in the indenture. The indenture governing the senior notes allows Cinemark USA, Inc. to incur additional indebtedness if it satisfies the coverage ratio specified in the indenture, after giving effect to the incurrence of the additional indebtedness, and in certain other circumstances.
 
Prior to June 15, 2014, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem all or any part of the senior notes at its option at 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium. After June 15, 2014, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem the senior notes in whole or in part at redemption prices described in the senior notes. In addition, Cinemark USA, Inc. may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the senior notes from the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at the redemption price set forth in the senior notes.
 
The Company and its guarantor subsidiaries have agreed to file a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to which the Company will either offer to exchange the senior notes for substantially similar registered senior notes or register the resale of the senior notes, except that the exchanged registered senior notes will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions or provide for payment of additional interest as specified below. The registration rights agreement provides that (i) the Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to file an exchange offer registration statement with the Commission on or prior to 90 days after the closing of the senior notes offering, (ii) the Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to have the exchange offer registration statement declared effective by the Commission on or prior to 180 days after the closing of the senior notes offering, (iii) unless the exchange offer would not be permissible by applicable law or Commission policy, the Company will commence the exchange offer and use its commercially reasonable best efforts to issue on the earliest practicable date after the date on which the exchange offer registration statement was declared effective by the Commission, but not later than 30 days thereafter, exchange registered senior notes in exchange for all senior notes tendered prior thereto in the exchange offer and (iv) if obligated to file the shelf registration statement, the Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to file the shelf registration statement with the Commission on or prior to 30 days after such filing obligation arises (and in any event within 210 days after the closing of the senior notes offering) and to cause the shelf registration statement to be declared effective by the Commission on or prior to 180 days after such obligation arises. If applicable, the Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to keep the shelf registration statement effective for a period of two years after the closing of the senior notes offering, subject to certain exceptions.
 
If (a) the Company fails to file any of the registration statements required by the registration rights agreement on or before the date specified for such filing, (b) any of such registration statements is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the date specified for such effectiveness (the “Effectiveness Target Date”), (c) the Company fails to consummate the exchange offer within 30 business days of the effectiveness target date with respect to the exchange offer registration statement or (d) the shelf registration statement or the exchange offer registration statement is declared effective but thereafter ceases to be effective or usable in connection with resales of notes during the periods specified in the registration rights agreement without being succeeded within two business days by a post-effective amendment to such registration statement that cures such failure and that is itself immediately declared effective (each such event a “Registration Default”), the Company will pay additional interest to each holder of secured notes. Such

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
additional interest, with respect to the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of any such Registration Default, shall equal an increase in the annual interest rate on the notes by 0.5% per annum.
 
The amount of the additional interest will increase by an additional 0.5% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period relating to such Registration Default until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum amount of additional interest for all Registration Defaults of 1.0% per annum. The senior notes will not accrue additional interest from and after the third anniversary of the closing of the senior notes offering even if the Company is not in compliance with its obligations under the registration rights agreement. The receipt of additional interest shall be the sole remedy available to holders of senior notes as a result of one or more Registration Defaults. Following the cure of all Registration Defaults, the accrual of additional interest will cease.
 
Cash Tender Offer for Cinemark, Inc.’s 93/4% Senior Discount Notes due 2014
 
On June 15, 2009, Cinemark, Inc. commenced a cash tender offer for any and all of its 93/4% senior discount notes due 2014, of which $419,403 aggregate principal amount at maturity remained outstanding. In connection with the tender offer, Cinemark, Inc. solicited consents to adopt proposed amendments to the indenture to eliminate substantially all restrictive covenants and certain events of default provisions. On June 29, 2009, approximately $402,459 aggregate principal amount at maturity of the 93/4% senior discount notes were tendered and repurchased by Cinemark, Inc. for approximately $433,415, including accrued interest of $11,336 and tender premiums paid of $19,620. Cinemark, Inc. funded the repurchase with the proceeds from the issuance of the Cinemark USA, Inc. senior notes discussed above. Cinemark, Inc. recorded a loss on early retirement of debt of approximately $26,795 during the six months ended June 30, 2009, which included tender premiums paid, other fees and the write-off of unamortized debt issue costs. As of June 30, 2009, Cinemark, Inc. had $16,944 aggregate principal amount at maturity of 93/4% senior discount notes remaining outstanding.
 
Effective as of June 29, 2009, Cinemark, Inc. and the Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. as trustee to the indenture dated March 31, 2004, executed the First Supplemental Indenture to amend the Indenture by eliminating substantially all restrictive covenants and certain events of default provisions.
 
On August 3, 2009, Cinemark, Inc. delivered to the Bank of New York Trust Company N.A., as trustee, a notice to redeem the $16,944 aggregate principal amount at maturity of Cinemark, Inc.’s 93/4% senior discount notes remaining outstanding. The senior discount notes were redeemed on September 8, 2009. On the redemption date, Cinemark, Inc. paid approximately $18,564, which included a redemption price of 104.875% of the face amount of the discount notes remaining outstanding plus any accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. Cinemark, Inc. funded the redemption with a dividend from the Company, which was funded with proceeds from the issuance of the Company’s senior notes discussed above.

CINEMARK USA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
In thousands, except share and per share data
 
1.   The Company and Basis of Presentation
 
Cinemark USA, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) is the second largest motion picture exhibitor in the world, in terms of both attendance and the number of screens in operation, with theatres in the United States (“U.S.”), Canada, Brazil, Mexico, Chile, Colombia, Argentina, Ecuador, Peru, Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Guatemala. The Company also managed additional theatres in the U.S., Brazil, and Colombia during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
 
The condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company, without audit, according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. In the opinion of management, these interim financial statements reflect all adjustments of a recurring nature necessary to state fairly the financial position and results of operations as of, and for, the periods indicated. Majority-owned subsidiaries that the Company controls are consolidated while those subsidiaries of which the Company owns between 20% and 50% and does not control are accounted for as affiliates under the equity method. Those subsidiaries of which the Company owns less than 20% are generally accounted for as affiliates under the cost method, unless the Company is deemed to have the ability to exercise significant influence over the affiliate, in which case the Company would account for its investment under the equity method. The results of these subsidiaries and affiliates are included in the condensed consolidated financial statements effective with their formation or from their dates of acquisition. Intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated in consolidation.
 
These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited annual consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto for the year ended December 31, 2008, included in Cinemark USA, Inc.’s Offering Memorandum dated June 16, 2009. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2009, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be achieved for the full year.
 
2.   New Accounting Pronouncements
 
In December 2007, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 141(R)(FASB Accounting Standards Codification [“ASC”] Topic 805), “Business Combinations”. This statement requires all business combinations completed after the effective date to be accounted for by applying the acquisition method (previously referred to as the purchase method); expands the definition of transactions and events that qualify as business combinations; requires that the acquired assets and liabilities, including contingencies, be recorded at the fair value determined on the acquisition date and changes thereafter reflected in income, not goodwill; changes the recognition timing for restructuring costs; and requires acquisition costs to be expensed as incurred rather than being capitalized as part of the cost of acquisition. Adoption of SFAS No. 141(R)(FASB ASC Topic 805) was required for business combinations that occurred after December 15, 2008. The adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) (FASB ASC Topic 805) did not have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 (FASB ASC Topic 810), “Noncontrolling Interest in Consolidated Financial Statements”. This statement establishes new accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. Specifically, this statement requires the recognition of a noncontrolling interest (minority interest) as equity in the consolidated financial statements and separate from the parent’s equity. The amount of net income attributable to the noncontrolling interest will no longer be shown as an expense item for all periods presented, but will be included in consolidated net income on the face of the income statement. SFAS No. 160 (FASB ASC Topic 810) requires disclosure on the face of the consolidated income statement of the amounts of consolidated net income attributable to the parent and the noncontrolling interest. SFAS No. 160 (FASB ASC Topic 810) clarifies that changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in deconsolidation are equity transactions if the parent retains its controlling financial interest. In addition, this statement requires that a

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
parent recognize a gain or loss in net income when a subsidiary is deconsolidated. Such gain or loss will be measured using the fair value of the noncontrolling equity investment on the deconsolidation date. SFAS No. 160 (FASB ASC Topic 810) also includes expanded disclosure requirements regarding the interests of the parent and its noncontrolling interest. SFAS No. 160 (FASB ASC Topic 810) was effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning on or after December 15, 2008. Upon adoption of this statement, the Company has recognized its noncontrolling interests as equity in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, has reflected net income attributable to noncontrolling interests in consolidated net income and has provided, in Note 3, a summary of changes in equity attributable to noncontrolling interests, changes attributable to Cinemark USA, Inc. and changes in total equity.
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161 (FASB ASC Topic 815) “Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities — an Amendment of FASB Statement No. 133”. This statement intends to improve financial reporting about derivative instruments and hedging activities by requiring enhanced disclosures about their impact on an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. SFAS No. 161 (FASB ASC Topic 815) requires disclosures regarding the objectives for using derivative instruments, the fair values of derivative instruments and their related gains and losses, and the accounting for derivatives and related hedged items. SFAS No. 161 (FASB ASC Topic 815) was effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after November 15, 2008, with early adoption permitted. The adoption of SFAS No. 161 (FASB ASC Topic 815) did not impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements, nor did it have a significant impact on the Company’s disclosures.
 
In April 2009, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 (FASB ASC Topic 825), “Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments” (“FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1”). FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 (FASB ASC Topic 825) require that disclosures about the fair value of financial instruments be included in the notes to financial statements issued during interim periods. Fair value information must be presented in the notes to financial statements together with the carrying amounts of the financial instruments. It must be clearly stated whether the amounts are assets or liabilities and how they relate to information presented in the balance sheet. The disclosures must include methods and significant assumptions used to estimate fair values, along with any changes in those methods and assumptions from prior periods. FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 (FASB ASC Topic 825) are effective for interim and annual periods ending after June 15, 2009, with early adoption permitted. Upon adoption of FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1 (FASB ASC Topic 825), the Company added a disclosure regarding the fair value of its long-term debt (see Note 8). Below is a summary of the Company’s financial instruments, both of which are liabilities:

  $ (20,347 )   $ (20,347 )   $ (24,781 )   $ (24,781 )
 
In May 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 165 (FASB ASC Topic 855), “Subsequent Events” (“SFAS No. 165”). SFAS No. 165 (FASB ASC Topic 855) should not result in significant changes in the subsequent events that an entity reports. Rather, SFAS No. 165 (FASB ASC Topic 855) introduces the concept of financial statements that are available to be issued. Financial statements are considered available to be issued when they are complete in a form and format that complies with generally accepted accounting principles and all approvals necessary for issuance have been obtained. SFAS No. 165 (FASB ASC Topic 855) was effective for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The adoption of SFAS No. 165 (FASB ASC Topic 855) did not have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company has evaluated events through November 11, 2009, the last business day before the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued and the date on which they were available to be issued.

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 168 (FASB ASC Topic 105), “The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles” (“SFAS No. 168”), which authorizes the Codification as the sole source for authoritative generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (“U.S. GAAP”). SFAS No. 168 (FASB ASC Topic 105) is effective for financial statements issued for reporting periods that end after September 15, 2009. SFAS No. 168 (FASB ASC Topic 105) supersedes all accounting standards in U.S. GAAP, aside from those issued by the SEC. SFAS No. 168 (FASB ASC Topic 105) replaces SFAS No. 162 to establish a new hierarchy of GAAP sources for non-governmental entities under the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The adoption of SFAS No. 168 (FASB ASC Topic 105) did not have a significant impact on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, the Company’s additional paid in capital increased by approximately $23 due to the Company’s purchase of the noncontrolling interests’ share in one of the Company’s Argentina subsidiaries. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, there were no increases or decreases to the Company’s additional paid in capital for purchases or sales of existing noncontrolling interests.
 
4.   Acquisition of U.S. Theatres
 
On March 18, 2009, the Company acquired four theatres with 82 screens from Muvico Entertainment L.L.C. in an asset purchase for $48,950 in cash. The acquisition resulted in an expansion of the Company’s U.S. theatre base, as three of the theatres are located in Florida and one theatre is located in Maryland. The Company incurred approximately $113 in transaction costs, which are reflected in general and administrative expenses on the condensed consolidated statement of income for the nine months ended September 30, 2009.
 
The transaction was accounted for by applying the acquisition method. The following table represents the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed that have been recognized by the Company in its condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2009:

5.   Investment in National CineMedia
 
In March 2005, Regal Entertainment Inc. (“Regal”) and AMC Entertainment Inc. (“AMC”) formed National CineMedia, LLC, or NCM, and on July 15, 2005, the Company joined NCM, as one of the founding

members. NCM operates the largest digital in-theatre network in the U.S. for providing cinema advertising and non-film events and combines the cinema advertising and non-film events businesses of the three largest motion picture exhibitors in the U.S. Upon joining NCM, the Company and NCM entered into an Exhibitor Services Agreement, pursuant to which NCM provides advertising, promotion and event services to the Company’s theatres.
 
In consideration for NCM’s exclusive access to the Company’s theatre attendees for on-screen advertising and use of off-screen locations within the Company’s theatres for the lobby entertainment network and lobby promotions, the Company receives a monthly theatre access fee under the Exhibitor Services Agreement. The theatre access fee is composed of a fixed payment per patron, initially seven cents, and a fixed payment per digital screen, which may be adjusted for certain enumerated reasons. The payment per theatre patron will increase by 8% every five years, with the first such increase taking effect after the end of fiscal 2011, and the payment per digital screen, initially eight hundred dollars per digital screen per year, will increase annually by 5%, beginning after 2007. For 2009, the annual payment per digital screen is eight hundred eighty-two dollars. The theatre access fee paid in the aggregate to Regal, AMC and the Company will not be less than 12% of NCM’s Aggregate Advertising Revenue (as defined in the Exhibitor Services Agreement), or it will be adjusted upward to reach this minimum payment. Additionally, with respect to any on-screen advertising time provided to the Company’s beverage concessionaire, the Company is required to purchase such time from NCM at a negotiated rate. The Exhibitor Services Agreement has, except with respect to certain limited services, a term of 30 years.
 
During March 2008, NCM performed an initial common unit adjustment calculation in accordance with the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement dated as of February 13, 2007 between NCM, Inc. and the Company, Regal and AMC. The common unit adjustment is based on the change in the number of screens operated by and attendance of the Company, AMC and Regal. As a result of the common unit adjustment calculation, the Company received an additional 846,303 common units of NCM, each of which is convertible into one share of NCM, Inc. common stock. The Company recorded the additional common units received at fair value as an investment with a corresponding adjustment to deferred revenue of $19,020. The common unit adjustment resulted in an increase in the Company’s ownership percentage in NCM from approximately 14.0% to approximately 14.5%. Subsequent to the annual common unit adjustment discussed above, in May 2008, Regal completed an acquisition of another theatre circuit that required an extraordinary common unit adjustment calculation by NCM in accordance with the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement. As a result of this extraordinary common unit adjustment, Regal was granted additional common units of NCM, which resulted in dilution of the Company’s ownership interest in NCM from 14.5% to 14.1%.
 
During March 2009, NCM performed its annual common unit adjustment calculation under the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement. As a result of the calculation, the Company received an additional 1,197,303 common units of NCM, each of which is convertible into one share of NCM, Inc. common stock. The Company recorded the additional common units received at fair value as an investment with a corresponding adjustment to deferred revenue of $15,536. The common unit adjustment resulted in a change in the Company’s ownership percentage in NCM from approximately 14.1% to 15.0%. As of September 30, 2009, the Company owned a total of 15,188,955 common units of NCM.

Future digital cinema developments will be managed by DCIP, subject to the Company’s approval along with the Company’s partners, AMC and Regal. As of September 30, 2009, the Company has invested $8,000 and has a one-third ownership interest in DCIP. The Company is accounting for its investment in DCIP under the equity method of accounting.
 
During the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, the Company recorded equity losses in DCIP of $2,303 and $2,508, respectively, relating to this investment. The Company’s investment basis in DCIP was $1,017 and $1,009 at December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2009, respectively, which is included in investments in and advances to affiliates on the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
 
7.   Share Based Awards
 
During March 2008, Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s board of directors approved the Amended and Restated Cinemark Holdings, Inc. 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Restated Incentive Plan”). The Restated Incentive Plan amends and restates the 2006 Plan, to (i) increase the number of shares reserved for issuance from 9,097,360 shares of common stock to 19,100,000 shares of common stock and (ii) permit the compensation committee of Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s board of directors (the “Compensation Committee”) to award participants restricted stock units and performance awards. The right of a participant to exercise or receive a grant of a restricted stock unit or performance award may be subject to the satisfaction of such performance or objective business criteria as determined by the Compensation Committee. With the exception of the changes identified in (i) and (ii) above, the Restated Incentive Plan does not materially differ from the 2006 Plan. The Restated Incentive Plan was approved by Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s stockholders at Cinemark Holdings, Inc.’s annual meeting of stockholders held on May 15, 2008.
 
During August 2008, Cinemark Holdings, Inc. filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form S-8 for the purpose of registering the additional shares available for issuance under the Restated Incentive Plan.

forfeiture rate was $260 and was recorded as additional compensation expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. During July 2009, the Company modified the terms of certain stock options outstanding by extending the expiration date by approximately two years. The Company recorded additional compensation expense of approximately $132 related to this modification.
 
The Company recorded compensation expense of $1,152, including the aforementioned $260 related to the change in forfeiture rate and $132 related to the option modification, and a tax benefit of approximately $434 during the nine months ended September 30, 2009, related to the outstanding stock options. As of September 30, 2009, there was no remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to outstanding stock options and all outstanding options fully vested on April 2, 2009. All options outstanding at September 30, 2009 have an average remaining contractual life of approximately 5 years.
 
Restricted Stock — During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, Cinemark Holdings, Inc. granted 472,881 shares of restricted stock to independent directors of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. and employees of the Company. The fair value of the shares of restricted stock was determined based on the market value of the Company’s stock on the dates of grant, which ranged from $9.50 to $11.32 per share. The Company assumed forfeiture rates ranging from zero to 5% for the restricted stock awards. The restricted stock vests over periods ranging from one year to four years based on continued service by the directors and employees.

The Company recorded compensation expense of $1,354 and Cinemark Holdings, Inc. recorded additional compensation expense of $374 related to these restricted stock awards during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. As of September 30, 2009, the remaining unrecognized compensation expense related to these restricted stock awards was approximately $6,392 and the weighted average period over which this remaining compensation expense will be recognized is approximately three years. The total fair value of shares vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $762 and $286, respectively. Upon vesting, the Company receives an income tax deduction. The recipients of restricted stock are entitled to receive dividends and to vote their respective shares, however the sale and transfer of the restricted shares is prohibited during the restriction period.
 
Restricted Stock Units — During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, Cinemark Holdings, Inc. granted restricted stock units representing 303,168 hypothetical shares of common stock under the Restated Incentive Plan. Similar to the restricted stock unit awards granted during 2008, the restricted stock units vest based on a combination of financial performance factors and continued service. The financial performance factors are based on an implied equity value concept that determines an internal rate of return (“IRR”) during the three fiscal year period ending December 31, 2011 based on a formula utilizing a multiple of Adjusted EBITDA subject to certain specified adjustments (as defined in the restricted stock unit award agreement). The financial performance factors for the restricted stock units have a threshold, target and maximum level of payment opportunity. If the IRR for the three year period is at least 8.5%, which is the threshold, one-third of the restricted stock units vest. If the IRR for the three year period is at least 10.5%, which is the target, two-

thirds of the restricted stock units vest. If the IRR for the three year period is at least 12.5%, which is the maximum, 100% of the restricted stock units vest. All payouts of restricted stock units that vest are subject to an additional one year service requirement and will be paid in the form of common stock if the participant continues to provide services through the fourth anniversary of the grant date. Restricted stock unit award participants are eligible to receive dividend equivalent payments if and at the time the restricted stock unit awards become vested.
 
Below is a table summarizing the potential awards at each of the three levels of financial performance (excludes estimated forfeitures):
 
                 
    Number of
       
    Shares
    Value at
 
    Vesting     Grant  
 
at IRR of at least 8.5%
    101,051     $ 963  
at IRR of at least 10.5%
    202,117     $ 1,927  
at IRR of at least 12.5%
    303,168     $ 2,891  
 
Due to the fact that the IRR for the three year period ending December 31, 2011 cannot be determined at the time of the grants, the Company has estimated that the most likely outcome is the achievement of the mid-point IRR level. As a result, the total compensation expense to be recorded for the restricted stock unit awards is $1,835 assuming a total of 192,407 units will vest at the end of the four year period. The Company assumed forfeiture rates ranging from zero to 5% for the restricted stock unit awards. If during the service period, additional information becomes available to lead the Company to believe a different IRR level will be achieved for the three year period ending December 31, 2011, the Company will reassess the number of units that will vest and adjust its compensation expense accordingly on a prospective basis over the remaining service period.

8.   Long-Term Debt Activity
 
Issuance of 8.625% Senior Notes Due 2019
 
On June 29, 2009, the Company issued $470,000 aggregate principal amount of 8.625% senior notes due 2019 with an original issue discount of $11,468, resulting in proceeds of approximately $458,532. The proceeds were primarily used to fund the repurchase of Cinemark, Inc.’s 93/4% senior discount notes discussed below. Interest is payable on June 15 and December 15 of each year beginning on December 15, 2009. The senior notes mature on June 15, 2019. The Company incurred debt issue costs of approximately $12,321 in connection with the issuance, which will be amortized on the straight-line method over the term of the senior notes. The original issue discount is being amortized on the effective interest method over the term of the senior notes.
 
The senior notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior unsecured basis by certain of the Company’s subsidiaries that guarantee, assume or become liable with respect to any of the Company’s or a guarantor’s debt. The senior notes and the guarantees are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Company’s and its guarantor’s existing and future senior unsecured debt and senior in right of payment to all of the Company’s and its guarantor’s existing and future subordinated debt. The senior notes and the guarantees are effectively subordinated to all of the Company’s and its guarantor’s existing and future secured debt to the extent of the value of the assets securing such debt, including all borrowings under the Company’s senior secured credit facility. The senior notes and the guarantees are structurally subordinated to all existing and future debt and other liabilities of the Company’s subsidiaries that do not guarantee the senior notes.
 
The indenture to the senior notes contains covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of the Company and certain of its subsidiaries to (1) consummate specified asset sales, (2) make investments or other restricted payments, including paying dividends, making other distributions or repurchasing subordinated debt or equity, (3) incur additional indebtedness and issue preferred stock, (4) enter into transactions with affiliates, (5) enter new lines of business, (6) merge or consolidate with, or sell all or substantially all of its assets to, another person and (7) create liens. Upon a change of control of Cinemark Holdings, Inc., Cinemark, Inc. or Cinemark USA, Inc., the Company would be required to make an offer to repurchase the senior notes at a price equal to 101% of the aggregate principal amount outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, through the date of repurchase. Certain asset dispositions are considered triggering events that may require the Company to use the proceeds from those asset dispositions to make an offer to purchase the notes at 100% of their principal amount, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to the date of repurchase if such proceeds are not otherwise used within 365 days as described in the indenture. The indenture governing the senior notes allows the Company to incur additional indebtedness if it satisfies the coverage ratio specified in the indenture, after giving effect to the incurrence of the additional indebtedness, and in certain other circumstances.
 
Prior to June 15, 2014, the Company may redeem all or any part of the senior notes at its option at 100% of the principal amount plus a make-whole premium. After June 15, 2014, the Company may redeem the senior notes in whole or in part at redemption prices described in the senior notes. In addition, the Company may redeem up to 35% of the aggregate principal amount of the senior notes from the net proceeds of certain equity offerings at the redemption price set forth in the senior notes.
 
The Company and its guarantor subsidiaries filed a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) on September 24, 2009 pursuant to which the Company has offered to exchange the senior notes for substantially similar registered senior notes. The exchanged registered senior notes will not contain terms with respect to transfer restrictions or provide for payment of additional interest as specified below. The registration rights agreement provides that (i) the Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to have the exchange offer registration statement declared effective by the Commission on or prior to 180 days after the closing of the senior notes offering, (ii) unless the exchange


F-74


Table of Contents

 
CINEMARK USA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
offer would not be permissible by applicable law or Commission policy, the Company will commence the exchange offer and use its commercially reasonable best efforts to issue on the earliest practicable date after the date on which the exchange offer registration statement was declared effective by the Commission, but not later than 30 days thereafter, exchange registered senior notes in exchange for all senior notes tendered prior thereto in the exchange offer and (iii) if obligated to file the shelf registration statement, the Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to file the shelf registration statement with the Commission on or prior to 30 days after such filing obligation arises (and in any event within 210 days after the closing of the senior notes offering) and to cause the shelf registration statement to be declared effective by the Commission on or prior to 180 days after such obligation arises. If applicable, the Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to keep the shelf registration statement effective for a period of two years after the closing of the senior notes offering, subject to certain exceptions.
 
If (a) the Company fails to file any of the registration statements required by the registration rights agreement on or before the date specified for such filing, (b) any of such registration statements is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the date specified for such effectiveness (the “Effectiveness Target Date”), (c) the Company fails to consummate the exchange offer within 30 business days of the effectiveness target date with respect to the exchange offer registration statement or (d) the shelf registration statement or the exchange offer registration statement is declared effective but thereafter ceases to be effective or usable in connection with resales of notes during the periods specified in the registration rights agreement without being succeeded within two business days by a post-effective amendment to such registration statement that cures such failure and that is itself immediately declared effective (each such event a “Registration Default”), the Company will pay additional interest to each holder of secured notes. Such additional interest, with respect to the first 90-day period immediately following the occurrence of any such Registration Default, shall equal an increase in the annual interest rate on the notes by 0.5% per annum.
 
The amount of the additional interest will increase by an additional 0.5% per annum with respect to each subsequent 90-day period relating to such Registration Default until all Registration Defaults have been cured, up to a maximum amount of additional interest for all Registration Defaults of 1.0% per annum. The senior notes will not accrue additional interest from and after the third anniversary of the closing of the senior notes offering even if the Company is not in compliance with its obligations under the registration rights agreement. The receipt of additional interest shall be the sole remedy available to holders of senior notes as a result of one or more Registration Defaults. Following the cure of all Registration Defaults, the accrual of additional interest will cease.
 
Cash Tender Offer and Subsequent Call of Cinemark, Inc.’s 9 3/4% Senior Discount Notes due 2014
 
On June 15, 2009, Cinemark, Inc. commenced a cash tender offer for any and all of its 93/4% senior discount notes due 2014, of which $419,403 aggregate principal amount at maturity remained outstanding. In connection with the tender offer, Cinemark, Inc. solicited consents to adopt proposed amendments to the indenture to eliminate substantially all restrictive covenants and certain events of default provisions. On June 29, 2009, approximately $402,459 aggregate principal amount at maturity of the 93/4% senior discount notes were tendered and repurchased by Cinemark, Inc. for approximately $433,415, including accrued interest of $11,336 and tender premiums paid of $19,620. Cinemark, Inc. funded the repurchase with a dividend from the Company, which was funded with proceeds from the issuance of the Company’s senior notes discussed above.
 
Effective as of June 29, 2009, Cinemark, Inc. and the Bank of New York Trust Company, N.A. as trustee to the indenture dated March 31, 2004, executed the First Supplemental Indenture to amend the Indenture by eliminating substantially all restrictive covenants and certain events of default provisions.
 
On August 3, 2009, Cinemark, Inc. delivered to the Bank of New York Trust Company N.A., as trustee, a notice to redeem the $16,944 aggregate principal amount at maturity of its 93/4% senior discount notes

remaining outstanding. The notice specified September 8, 2009 as the redemption date, at which time Cinemark, Inc. paid approximately $18,564, consisting of a redemption price of 104.875% of the face amount of the discount notes remaining outstanding plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but not including, the redemption date. Cinemark, Inc. funded the redemption with a dividend from the Company, which was funded with proceeds from the issuance of the Company’s senior notes discussed above.
 
Fair Value of Long Term Debt
 
The Company estimates the fair value of its long term debt using quoted market prices and present value techniques, as appropriate. The carrying value of the Company’s long term debt was $1,546,624 and $1,097,144 as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively. The fair value of the Company’s long term debt was $1,557,565 and $1,104,188 as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively.
 
9.   Interest Rate Swap Agreements
 
During 2007 and 2008, the Company entered into three interest rate swap agreements. The interest rate swap agreements qualify for cash flow hedge accounting. The fair values of the interest rate swaps are recorded on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as an asset or liability with the effective portion of the interest rate swaps’ gains or losses reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and the ineffective portion reported in earnings. The Company’s fair value measurements are based on projected future interest rates as provided by the counterparties to the interest rate swap agreements and the fixed rates that the Company is obligated to pay under these agreements. Therefore, the Company’s measurements use significant unobservable inputs, which fall in Level 3 as defined by ASC Topic 820-10-35.
 
In March 2007, the Company entered into two interest rate swap agreements with effective dates of August 13, 2007 and terms of five years each. The interest rate swaps were designated to hedge approximately $500,000 of the Company’s variable rate debt obligations under its senior secured credit facility. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreements, the Company pays fixed rates of 4.918% and 4.922% on $375,000 and $125,000, respectively, of variable rate debt and receives interest at a variable rate based on the 3-month LIBOR. The 3-month LIBOR rate on each reset date determines the variable portion of the interest rate swaps for the three-month period following the reset date. No premium or discount was incurred upon the Company entering into the interest rate swaps because the pay and receive rates on the interest rate swaps represented prevailing rates for each counterparty at the time the interest rate swaps were consummated. The Company estimates the fair values of the interest rate swaps by comparing estimated future interest payments to be made under forecasted future 3-month LIBOR to the fixed rates in accordance with the interest rate swaps.
 
On September 14, 2008, the counterparty to the $375,000 interest rate swap agreement filed for bankruptcy protection. As a result, the Company determined that on September 15, 2008, when the counterparty’s credit rating was downgraded, the interest rate swap was no longer highly effective. On October 1, 2008, this interest rate swap was terminated by the Company. The change in fair value of this interest rate swap agreement from inception to September 14, 2008 was recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss. The change in fair value from September 15, 2008 through September 30, 2008 and the gain on termination were recorded in earnings as a component of interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2008. The Company determined that the forecasted transactions hedged by this interest rate swap are still probable to occur, thus the total amount reported in accumulated other comprehensive loss related to this swap of $18,147 is being amortized on a straight-line basis to interest expense over the period during which the forecasted transactions are expected to occur, which is September 15, 2008 through August 13, 2012. The Company amortized approximately $193 and $3,475 to interest expense

CINEMARK USA, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
 
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and 2009, respectively. The Company will amortize approximately $4,633 to interest expense over the next twelve months.
 
On October 3, 2008, the Company entered into one interest rate swap agreement with an effective date of November 14, 2008 and a term of four years. The interest rate swap was designated to hedge approximately $100,000 of the Company’s variable rate debt obligations under its senior secured credit facility for three years and $75,000 of the Company’s variable rate debt obligations under its senior secured credit facility for four years. Under the terms of the interest rate swap agreement, the Company pays a fixed rate of 3.63% on $175,000 of variable rate debt and receives interest at a variable rate based on the 1-month LIBOR. The 1-month LIBOR rate on each reset date determines the variable portion of the interest rate swap for the one-month period following the reset date. No premium or discount was incurred upon the Company entering into the interest rate swap because the pay and receive rates on the interest rate swap represented prevailing rates for the counterparty at the time the interest rate swap was consummated.
 
As of September 30, 2009, the fair values of the $125,000 interest rate swap and the $175,000 interest rate swap were liabilities of approximately $11,183 and $9,164, respectively which have been recorded as a component of other long-term liabilities. A corresponding cumulative amount of $12,503, net of taxes, has been recorded as an increase in accumulated other comprehensive loss on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2009. The interest rate swaps exhibited no ineffectiveness during the nine months ended September 30, 2009.

(1) Includes goodwill recorded as a result of the acquisition of theatres in the U.S. (see Note 4) and a theatre in Brazil.
 
The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment on an annual basis during the fourth quarter or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate, the carrying value of goodwill might exceed its estimated fair value.
 
The Company evaluates goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level and has allocated goodwill to the reporting unit based on an estimate of its relative fair value. The Company considers the reporting unit to be each of its sixteen regions in the U.S. and each of its eight countries internationally (Honduras, El Salvador, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama and Guatemala are considered one reporting unit). Goodwill impairment is evaluated using a two-step approach requiring the Company to compute the fair value of a reporting unit and

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
compare it with its carrying value. If the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value, a second step is performed to measure the potential goodwill impairment. Fair values are determined based on a multiple of cash flows, which was six and a half times for the evaluation performed during the fourth quarter of 2008. These fair value estimates fall in Level 3 as defined by ASC Topic 820-10-25. Significant judgment is involved in estimating cash flows and fair value. Management’s estimates are based on historical and projected operating performance as well as recent market transactions.

11.   Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
 
The Company reviews long-lived assets for impairment indicators on a quarterly basis or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the assets may not be fully recoverable.
 
The Company considers actual theatre level cash flows, future years budgeted theatre level cash flows, theatre property and equipment carrying values, amortizing intangible assets carrying values, the age of a recently built theatre, competitive theatres in the marketplace, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, the impact of recent ticket price changes, available lease renewal options and other factors considered relevant in its assessment of impairment of individual theatre assets. Long-lived assets are evaluated for impairment on an individual theatre basis, which the Company believes is the lowest applicable level for which there are identifiable cash flows. The impairment evaluation is based on the estimated cash flows from continuing use through the remainder of the theatre’s useful life. The remainder of the useful life correlates with the available remaining lease period, which includes the probability of renewal periods for leased properties and a period of twenty years for fee owned properties. If the estimated cash flows are not sufficient to recover a long-lived asset’s carrying value, the Company then compares the carrying value of the asset group (theatre) with its estimated fair value. Fair value is determined based on a multiple of cash flows, which was eight times for the evaluations performed during the nine months ended September 30, 2008 and six and a half times for the evaluations performed during the nine months ended September 30, 2009. When estimated fair value is determined to be lower than the carrying value of the asset group (theatre), the asset group (theatre) is written down to its estimated fair value. These fair value estimates fall in Level 3 as defined by ASC Topic 820-10-35. The estimated aggregate fair value of the long-lived assets impaired during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was approximately $7,000. Significant judgment is involved in estimating cash flows and fair value. Management’s estimates are based on historical and projected operating performance as well as recent market transactions.

12.   Foreign Currency Translation
 
The accumulated other comprehensive loss account in stockholder’s equity of $72,347 and $18,962 at December 31, 2008 and September 30, 2009, respectively, includes the cumulative foreign currency adjustments from translating the financial statements of the Company’s international subsidiaries into U.S. dollars.
 
In 2008 and 2009, all foreign countries where the Company has operations were deemed non-highly inflationary and where the local currency is the same as the functional currency. Thus, any fluctuation in the currency results in a cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment recorded to accumulated other comprehensive loss.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
On September 30, 2009, the exchange rate for the Brazilian real was 1.79 reais to the U.S. dollar (the exchange rate was 2.36 reais to the U.S. dollar at December 31, 2008). As a result, the effect of translating the September 30, 2009 Brazilian financial statements into U.S. dollars is reflected as a cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment to the accumulated other comprehensive loss account as an increase in stockholder’s equity of $44,283. At September 30, 2009, the total assets of the Company’s Brazilian subsidiaries were U.S. $242,141.
 
On September 30, 2009, the exchange rate for the Mexican peso was 13.56 pesos to the U.S. dollar (the exchange rate was 13.78 pesos to the U.S. dollar at December 31, 2008). As a result, the effect of translating the September 30, 2009 Mexican financial statements into U.S. dollars is reflected as a cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment to the accumulated other comprehensive loss account as a decrease in stockholder’s equity of $347. At September 30, 2009, the total assets of the Company’s Mexican subsidiaries were U.S. $126,659.
 
On September 30, 2009, the exchange rate for the Chilean peso was 555.30 pesos to the U.S. dollar (the exchange rate was 648.00 pesos to the U.S. dollar at December 31, 2008). As a result, the effect of translating the September 30, 2009 Chilean financial statements into U.S. dollars is reflected as a cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment to the accumulated other comprehensive loss account as an increase in stockholder’s equity of $2,215. At September 30, 2009, the total assets of the Company’s Chilean subsidiaries were U.S. $26,242.
 
The effect of translating the September 30, 2009 financial statements of the Company’s other international subsidiaries, with local currencies other than the U.S. dollar, is reflected as a cumulative foreign currency translation adjustment to the accumulated other comprehensive loss account as an increase in stockholder’s equity of $997.

The Company believes its potential liability with respect to proceedings currently pending is not material, individually or in the aggregate, to the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
 
18.   Condensed Consolidating Financial Information of Subsidiary Guarantors
 
As of September 30, 2009, the Company had outstanding $470,000 aggregate principal amount of 85/8% senior notes due 2019. These senior notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several senior unsecured basis by the following subsidiaries of Cinemark USA, Inc.:
 
Cinemark, L.L.C., Sunnymead Cinema Corp., Cinemark Properties, Inc., Greeley Holdings, Inc., Trans Texas Cinema, Inc., Cinemark Mexico (USA), Inc., Brasil Holdings, LLC, Cinemark Leasing Company, Cinemark Partners I, Inc., Multiplex Properties, Inc., Multiplex Services, Inc., CNMK Investments, Inc., CNMK Texas Properties, LLC., Cinemark Concessions LLC, Century Theatres, Inc., Marin Theatre Management, LLC, Century Theatres NG, LLC, Cinearts LLC, Cinearts Sacramento, LLC, Corte Madera Theatres, LLC, Novato Theatres, LLC, San Rafael Theatres, LLC, Northbay Theatres, LLC, Century Theatres Summit Sierra, LLC and Century Theatres Seattle, LLC.

  2.  Cinemark USA, Inc. (the “Parent” and “Issuer”), combined Guarantor Subsidiaries and combined Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries with their investments in subsidiaries accounted for using the equity method of accounting and therefore, the Parent column reflects the equity income (loss) of its Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, which are also separately reflected in the stand-alone Guarantor Subsidiaries and Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries column. Additionally, the Guarantor Subsidiaries column reflects the equity income (loss) of its Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, which are also separately reflected in the stand-alone Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries column.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Board of Directors and Members of
National CineMedia, LLC
Centennial, CO
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of National CineMedia, LLC (the “Company”) as of January 1, 2009 and December 27, 2007, and the related statements of operations, members’ equity (deficit), and cash flows for the year ended January 1, 2009, the period February 13, 2007 through December 27, 2007, the period December 29, 2006 through February 12, 2007, and for the year ended December 28, 2006. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
 
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
In our opinion, such financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of January 1, 2009 and December 27, 2007, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year ended January 1, 2009, the period February 13, 2007 through December 27, 2007, the period December 29, 2006 through February 12, 2007, and for the year ended December 28, 2006 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
1.   THE COMPANY AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Formation of Business
 
National CineMedia, LLC (“NCM LLC” or “the Company” commenced operations on April 1, 2005 and operates the largest digital in-theatre network in North America, allowing NCM to distribute advertising, business meeting, and Fathom event services under long-term exhibitor services agreements (“ESAs”) with American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (“AMC”), a wholly owned subsidiary of AMC Entertainment, Inc. (“AMCE”), Regal Cinemas, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Regal Entertainment Group (“Regal”), and Cinemark USA, Inc. (“Cinemark USA”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (“Cinemark”). AMC, Regal and Cinemark and their affiliates are referred to in this document as “founding members”. NCM LLC also provides such services to certain third-party theater circuits under multi-year network affiliate agreements, which expire at various dates.
 
NCM LLC was formed through the combination of the operations of National Cinema Network, Inc. (“NCN”), a wholly owned subsidiary of AMCE, and Regal CineMedia Corporation (“RCM”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Regal. All assets contributed to and liabilities assumed by NCM LLC were recorded on NCM LLC’s accounting records in the amounts as reflected on the Members’ historic accounting records, based on the application of accounting principles for the formation of a joint venture under Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) 98 — 4, Accounting by a Joint Venture for Businesses Received at its Formation. Although legally structured as a limited liability company, NCM LLC was considered a joint venture for accounting purposes given the joint control provisions of the operating agreement among the members, consistent with Accounting Principles Board (“APB”) Opinion No. 18, The Equity Method of Accounting for Investments in Common Stock. Cinemark became a founding member on July 15, 2005.
 
Initial Public Offering and Related Transactions
 
On February 13, 2007, National CineMedia, Inc. (“NCM, Inc.” or “managing member”), a Company formed by NCM LLC and incorporated in the State of Delaware with the sole purpose of becoming a member and sole manager of NCM LLC, closed its initial public offering (“IPO”). NCM, Inc. used the net proceeds from its IPO to purchase a 44.8% interest in NCM LLC, paying NCM LLC $746.1 million, which included reimbursement to NCM LLC for expenses the Company advanced related to the NCM, Inc. IPO and paying the founding members $78.5 million for a portion of the NCM LLC units owned by them. NCM LLC paid $686.3 million of the funds received from NCM, Inc. to the founding members as consideration for their agreement to modify the then-existing ESAs. Proceeds received by NCM LLC from NCM, Inc. of $59.8 million, together with $709.7 million net proceeds from NCM LLC’s new senior secured credit facility (see Note 7), entered into concurrently with the completion of NCM, Inc.’s IPO were used to redeem $769.5 million in NCM LLC preferred units held by the founding members. The preferred units were created immediately prior to the NCM, Inc. IPO in a non-cash recapitalization of each membership unit into one common unit and one preferred unit. Immediately prior to this non-cash recapitalization, the existing common units and employee unit options (see Note 8)were split on a 44,291-to-1 basis. All unit and per unit amounts in these financial statements reflect the impact of this split.
 
At January 1, 2009, NCM LLC had 99,419,620 membership units outstanding, of which 42,109,966 (42.4%) were owned by NCM, Inc., 24,903,259 (25.0%) were owned by RCM, 18,414,743 (18.5%) were owned by AMC, and 13,991,652 (14.1%) were owned by Cinemark.
 
In connection with the completion of the NCM, Inc.’s IPO, NCM, Inc. and the founding members entered into a third amended and restated limited liability company operating agreement of NCM LLC (“LLC Operating Agreement”). Under the LLC Operating Agreement, NCM, Inc. became a member and the sole manager of NCM LLC. As the sole manager, NCM, Inc. is able to control all of the day to day business affairs and decision-making of NCM LLC without the approval of any other member. NCM, Inc. cannot be

removed as manager of NCM LLC. NCM LLC entered into a management services agreement with NCM, Inc. pursuant to which NCM, Inc. agrees to provide certain specific management services to NCM LLC, including those services typically provided by the individuals serving in the positions of president and chief executive officer, president of sales and chief marketing officer, executive vice president and chief financial officer, executive vice president and chief technology and operations officer and executive vice president and general counsel. In exchange for the services, NCM LLC reimburses NCM, Inc. for compensation and other expenses of the officers and for certain out-of-pocket costs (see Note 6). NCM LLC also provides administrative and support services to NCM, Inc. such as office facilities, equipment, supplies, payroll and accounting and financial reporting. The management services agreement also provides that NCM LLC employees may participate in the NCM, Inc. equity incentive plan (see Note 8). NCM LLC will indemnify NCM Inc. for any losses arising from NCM Inc.’s performance under the management services agreement, except that NCM Inc. will indemnify NCM LLC for any losses caused by NCM Inc.’s willful misconduct or gross negligence.
 
Under the amended and restated ESAs with the founding members, subject to limited exceptions, NCM LLC is the exclusive provider of advertising services to the founding members for a 30-year term (with a five-year right of first refusal commencing one year before the end of the term) beginning February 13, 2007 and meetings and event services to the founding members for an initial five-year term, with an automatic five-year renewal providing certain financial tests are met. In exchange for the right to provide these services to the founding members, NCM LLC is required to pay to the founding members a theatre access fee which is a specified calculation based on the attendance at the founding member theatres and the number of digital screens in founding member theatres. Prior to the NCM, Inc. IPO, NCM LLC paid to the founding members a percentage of NCM LLC’s advertising revenue as advertising circuit share. Upon the completion of the NCM, Inc. IPO, the founding members assigned to NCM LLC all “legacy contracts”, which are generally contracts for advertising sold by the founding members prior to the formation of NCM LLC but which were unfulfilled at the date of formation. In addition, the founding members made additional time available for sale by NCM LLC, subject to a first right to purchase the time, if needed, by the founding members to fulfill advertising obligations with their in-theatre beverage concessionaries. NCM, Inc. also entered into employment agreements with five executive officers to carry out obligations entered into pursuant to a management services agreement between NCM, Inc. and NCM LLC.
 
Basis of Presentation
 
The Company has prepared its financial statements and related notes in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
 
The results of operations for the period ended December 27, 2007 are presented in two periods, reflecting operations prior to and subsequent to the NCM, Inc. IPO. The period from December 29, 2006 through February 12, 2007 is referred to as the “2007 pre-IPO period”. The period from February 13, 2007 through December 27, 2007 is referred to as the “2007 post-IPO period”. Separate periods have been presented because there were significant changes at the time of the NCM, Inc. IPO including modifications to the ESAs and related expenses thereunder, and significant changes to revenue arrangements and contracts with the founding members. The financial statements for both the 2007 pre-IPO period and 2007 post-IPO period give effect to allocations of revenues and expenses made using relative percentages of founding member attendance or days in each period, discrete events and other methods management considered a reasonable reflection of the results for such periods.
 
The Company has established various accounting policies that govern the application of accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America in the preparation and presentation of NCM LLC’s financial statements. Certain accounting policies involve significant judgments, assumptions and


F-99


Table of Contents

 
NATIONAL CINEMEDIA, LLC
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
estimates by management that have a material impact on the carrying value of certain assets and liabilities, which management considers critical accounting policies. The judgments, assumptions and estimates used by management are based on historical experience, knowledge of the accounts and other factors, which are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances and are evaluated on an ongoing basis. Because of the nature of the judgments and assumptions made by management, actual results could differ from these judgments and estimates, which could have a material impact on the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the results of operations of NCM LLC. As a result of the various related-party agreements discussed above and in Note 6, the operating results as presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that would have occurred if all agreements were with non-related third parties.
 
The founding members received all of the proceeds NCM LLC received from the NCM, Inc. and the date of NCM, Inc.’s IPO and the related issuance of debt, except for amounts needed to pay out-of-pocket costs of the financings and other expenses, and $10.0 million to repay outstanding amounts under NCM LLC’s then-existing revolving line of credit agreement. In conformity with accounting guidance of the SEC concerning monetary consideration paid to promoters, such as the founding members, in exchange for property conveyed by the promoters, and because the founding members had no cost basis in the ESAs, all payments to the founding members with the proceeds of the managing member’s IPO and related debt, amounting to approximately $1.456 billion, have been accounted for as distributions, except for the payments to liquidate accounts payable to the founding members arising from the ESAs.
 
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Accounting Period — The Company operates on a 52-week fiscal year, with the fiscal year ending on the first Thursday after December 25, which, in certain years, results in a 53-week year, as was the case for fiscal year 2008.
 
Estimates — The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America 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 include those related to the reserve for uncollectible accounts receivable, deferred revenue, equity-based compensation and the valuation of investments in absence of market data. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Revenue Recognition — Advertising revenue and administrative fees from legacy contracts are recognized in the period in which an advertising contract is fulfilled against the contracted theatre attendees. Advertising revenue is recorded net of make-good provisions to account for delivered attendance that is less than contracted attendance. When remaining delivered attendance is provided in subsequent periods, that portion of the revenue earned is recognized in that period. Deferred revenue refers to the unearned portion of advertising contracts. All deferred revenue is classified as a current liability. Meetings and events revenue is recognized in the period in which the event is held. Legacy contracts are advertising contracts with the founding members prior to the formation of NCM LLC, which were not assigned to NCM LLC until the IPO was completed. Administrative fees earned by the Company prior to the IPO for its services in fulfilling the legacy contracts were based on a percentage of legacy contract revenue (32% during 2006 and the 2007 pre-IPO period).
 
Operating Costs — Advertising-related operating costs primarily include personnel and other costs related to advertising fulfillment, and to a lesser degree, production costs of non-digital advertising, and payments due to unaffiliated theatres circuits under the network affiliate agreements.
 
Meeting and event operating costs include equipment rental, catering, movie tickets acquired primarily from the founding members, revenue share under the amended and restated ESAs and other direct costs of the meeting or event.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
In the 2007 pre-IPO period and prior periods, circuit share costs were fees payable to the founding members for the right to exhibit advertisements within the theatres, based on a percentage of advertising revenue. In the 2007 post-IPO period and subsequent periods, under the amended and restated ESAs, a payment to the founding members of a theatre access fee, in lieu of circuit share expense, comprised of a payment per theatre attendee and a payment per digital screen, both of which escalate over time, is reflected in expense.
 
Network costs include personnel, satellite bandwidth, repairs, and other costs of maintaining and operating the digital network and preparing advertising and other content for transmission across the digital network. These costs relate primarily to the advertising business and to a lesser extent to the meetings and events business.
 
Leases — The Company leases various office facilities under operating leases with terms ranging from month-to-month to 8 years. We calculate straight-line rent expense over the initial lease term and renewals that are reasonably assured.
 
Advertising Costs — Costs related to advertising and other promotional expenditures are expensed as incurred. Due to the nature of our business, we have an insignificant amount of advertising costs included in selling and marketing costs on the statement of operations.
 
Cash and Cash Equivalents — All highly liquid debt instruments and investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less are classified as cash equivalents. Periodically these are cash balances in a bank in excess of the federally insured limits or in the form of a money market demand account with a major financial institution.
 
Restricted Cash — At January 1, 2009 and December 27, 2007, other non-current assets included restricted cash of $0.3, which secures a letter of credit used as a lease deposit on NCM LLC’s New York office.
 
Receivables — Trade accounts receivable are uncollateralized and represent a large number of geographically dispersed debtors. Refer to Note 2. Bad debts are provided for using the allowance for doubtful accounts method based on historical experience and management’s evaluation of outstanding receivables at the end of the period. Receivables are written off when management determines amounts are uncollectible. Estimating the amount of allowance for doubtful accounts requires significant judgment and the use of estimates related to the amount and timing of estimated losses based on historical loss experience, consideration of current economic trends and conditions and debtor-specific factors, all of which may be susceptible to significant changes. To the extent actual outcomes differ from management estimates, additional provision for bad debt could be required that could adversely affect earnings or financial position in future periods.
 
Long-lived Assets — Property and equipment is stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation or amortization. Refer to Note 3. Major renewals and improvements are capitalized, while replacements, maintenance, and repairs that do not improve or extend the lives of the respective assets are expensed currently. In general, the equipment associated with the digital network that is located within the theatre is owned by the founding members, while equipment outside the theatre is owned by the Company. The Company records depreciation and amortization using the straight-line method over the following estimated useful lives:
 
     
Equipment
  4-10 years
Computer hardware and software
  3-5 years
Leasehold improvements
  Lesser of lease term or asset life
 
We account for the costs of software and web site development costs developed or obtained for internal use in accordance with American Institute of Certified Public Accountants Statement of Position (“SOP”) 98-1, Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use and EITF 00-2,


F-101


Table of Contents

 
NATIONAL CINEMEDIA, LLC
 
NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
Accounting for Web Site Development Costs. The SOP and EITF requires the capitalization of certain costs incurred in developing or obtaining software for internal use. The majority of our software costs and web site development costs, which are included in equipment, are depreciated over three to five years. As of January 1, 2009 and December 27, 2007, we had a net book value of $11.8 million and $9.3 million, respectively, of capitalized software and web site development costs. We recorded approximately $4.9 million, $2.8 million, $0.3 million and $1.9 million for the year ended January 1, 2009, the 2007 post-IPO period, 2007 pre-IPO period and the year ended December 28, 2006, respectively, in depreciation expense.
 
Construction in progress includes costs relating to installations of our equipment into affiliate theatres. Assets under construction are not depreciated until placed into service.
 
Intangible assets consist of contractual rights and are stated at cost, net of accumulated amortization. Refer to Note 4. The Company records amortization using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of the intangibles.
 
We assess impairment of long-lived assets pursuant with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets annually. This includes determining if certain triggering events have occurred that could affect the value of an asset. Thus far, none of the above triggering events has resulted in any material impairment charges.
 
Amounts Due to/from Founding Members — In the 2007 pre-IPO period and prior periods, amounts due to/from founding members included circuit share costs and cost reimbursements, net of the administrative fees earned on Legacy contracts. Amounts due to/from founding members in the 2007 post-IPO period and subsequent periods include amounts due for the theatre access fee, offset by a receivable for advertising time purchased by the founding members, as well as revenue share earned for meetings and events plus any amounts outstanding under other contractually obligated payments. Payments to or received from the founding members against outstanding balances are made monthly.
 
Amounts Due to/from Managing Member — In 2008 and the 2007 post-IPO period, amounts due to/from managing member include amounts due under the LLC Operating Agreement and other contractually obligated payments. Payments to or received from the managing member against outstanding balances are made periodically.
 
Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis — The fair values of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured on a recurring basis pursuant to SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements, which the Company adopted December 28, 2007, is as follows (in millions):

(1) During 2007, NCM LLC invested $7.0 million of cash in 6% convertible preferred stock and related option on the common stock of IdeaCast, Inc. (“IdeaCast”), a start-up company that operates an advertising network in fitness centers and health clubs throughout the United States. The preferred stock is accounted for as an investment in debt securities per SFAS No. 115, Accounting for Certain Investments

in Debt and Equity Securities, due to the provisions in the agreement, which give the Company a mandatory redemption right five years after the date of investment. The securities are not held for trading purposes and are therefore by default classified as available-for-sale even though it is not the Company’s intent to sell these securities. There are no marketplace indicators of value that management can use to determine the fair value of the investment. Until the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company based its recurring estimated fair value of the investment in IdeaCast on a discounted cash flow model that probability weights IdeaCast’s potential future cash flows under various scenarios and management’s judgment, which is based in part on communications with IdeaCast and their lender. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company recorded a full impairment to the value of the investment and the carrying value was adjusted to zero due to IdeaCast’s defaults on its senior debt during the fourth quarter of 2008 and resulting illiquidity. The Company determined the impairment was other-than-temporary and the unrealized loss was reported as an impairment loss in the statement of operations since the fair value was determined to be significantly below cost and recoverability was deemed unlikely. The key factors identified by management in making these assessments and determining the amounts were events of default on IdeaCast’s convertible debt that emerged after the fourth quarter 2008 IdeaCast operating results were analyzed and after IdeaCast failed to make a scheduled debt service payment and ongoing discussions with the convertible debt lender. Refer to Note 10 for additional details.

(2) In February 2007, NCM LLC has entered into interest rate swap agreements with four counterparties, which qualified for and were designated as a cash flow hedge against interest rate exposure on $550.0 million of the variable rate debt obligations under the senior secured credit facility in accordance with SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, as amended by SFAS No. 138. The interest rate swap agreements have the effect of converting a portion of the Company’s variable rate debt to a fixed rate of 6.734%.
 
On September 15, 2008, Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc. (“Lehman”) filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the federal Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. Lehman Brothers Special Financing (“LBSF”), a subsidiary of Lehman, is the counterparty to a notional amount of $137.5 million of NCM LLC’s interest rate swaps, and Lehman is a guarantor of LBSF’s obligations under such swap. NCM LLC notified LBSF on September 18, 2008 that, as a result of the bankruptcy of Lehman, an event of default had occurred under the swap with respect to which LBSF was the defaulting party. As a result, as permitted under the terms of NCM LLC’s swap agreement with LBSF, the Company withheld interest rate swap payments of $1.5 million that were due to LBSF. As of January 1, 2009 the interest rate swap agreement had not been terminated. On October 3, 2008, LBSF also filed for Chapter 11 protection, which constituted another default by LBSF under the swap. To the Company’s knowledge, LBSF has neither communicated its intent, nor has it taken any action in bankruptcy court to assume or reject its


F-103

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
swap agreement with NCM LLC. In addition, while the bankruptcy court has authorized LBSF to assign certain of its hedges that have not been terminated under certain circumstances, we have not received any notice that Lehman has assigned, or has entered into any negotiations to assign its swap agreement with NCM LLC. As of January 1, 2009, NCM LLC’s interest rate swaps liability was $87.7 million, of which $21.9 million is related to the LBSF swap.
 
Both at inception and on an on-going basis the Company performs an effectiveness test using the hypothetical derivative method. The fair values of the interest rate swaps with the counterparties other than LBSF (representing notional amounts of $412.5 million associated with a like amount of the variable rate debt) are recorded on the Company’s balance sheet as a liability with the change in fair value recorded in other comprehensive income since the instruments other than LBSF were determined to be perfectly effective at January 1, 2007 and December 27, 2007. There were no amounts reclassified into current earnings due to ineffectiveness during the periods presented other than as described below.
 
The Company performed an effectiveness test for the swaps with LBSF as of September 14, 2008, the day immediately prior to the default date, and determined they were effective on that date. As a result, the fair values of the interest rate swap on that date was recorded as a liability with an offsetting amount recorded in other comprehensive income. Cash flow hedge accounting was discontinued on September 15, 2008 due to the event of default and the inability of the Company to continue to demonstrate the swap would be effective. The Company continues to record the interest rate swap with LBSF at fair value with any change in the fair value recorded in the statement of operations. During the period from September 15, 2008 to January 1, 2009, there was a $13.8 million increase in the fair value of the liability and the Company recorded an offsetting debit to interest expense. In accordance with SFAS No. 133, the net derivative loss as of September 14, 2008 related to the discontinued cash flow hedge with LBSF shall continue to be reported in accumulated other comprehensive income unless it is probable that the forecasted transaction will not occur by the end of the originally specified time period. Accordingly, the net derivative loss will be amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the interest rate swap through February 13, 2015. The amount amortized during the year ended January 1, 2009 was $0.4 million. The Company estimates approximately $1.3 million will be amortized to interest expense in the next 12 months.
 
The fair value of the Company’s interest rate swap is based on dealer quotes, and represents an estimate of the amount the Company would receive or pay to terminate the agreements taking into consideration various factors, including current interest rates and the forward yield curve for 3-month LIBOR.

period and the year ended December 28, 2006 we amortized $1.9 million, $1.6 million, $0.0 million and $0.0 million of debt issuance costs, respectively.
 
Other Long-Terms Assets and Liabilities — On April 29, 2008, NCM LLC, IdeaCast, the IdeaCast lender and certain of its stockholders agreed to a financial restructuring of IdeaCast. Among other things, the restructuring resulted in the reduction of the price at which the preferred stock held by NCM LLC can be converted into common stock; the lender being granted an option to “put,” or require NCM LLC to purchase, up to $10 million of the funded convertible debt at par, on or after December 31, 2010 through March 31, 2011; NCM LLC being granted an option to “call,” or require the lender to sell to NCM LLC up to $10 million of funded convertible debt at par, at any time before the put is exercised in whole; and an amendment to the preexisting option to acquire additional IdeaCast common stock. The put is accounted for under FIN No. 45 (as amended), Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others. Refer to Note 10 for additional details. The estimated fair value of the call of $2.4 million was recorded to other long-term assets and the estimated fair value of the put of $2.4 million was recorded in other long-term liabilities during the second quarter of 2008. The Company based its estimated fair value of the call and put on a discounted cash flow model that probability weights IdeaCast’s business potential future cash flows under various scenarios, including the likelihood of the call, put or option being executed and management’s judgment, which is based in part on communications with IdeaCast and their lender. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company recorded an impairment to the value of the call and the carrying value was adjusted to zero since the Company determined that the put was probable. The Company determined the impairment was other-then-temporary and the unrealized loss was reported as a non-operating loss in the statement of operations since the fair value was determined to be significantly below cost and the realizable value is not equal to or greater than the carrying value.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments — The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts payable, accrued expenses and the revolving credit facility as reported in the Company’s balance sheets approximate their fair values due to their short maturity or floating rate terms, as applicable. The carrying amounts and fair value of interest rate swap agreements are the same since the Company accounts for these instruments at fair value. As the Company’s term loan does not have an active market, the Company has estimated the fair value of the term loan to be $514.8 million based on our analysis of current credit market conditions. The carrying value of the term loan was $725.00 million as of January 1, 2009.
 
Share-Based Compensation — Stock-based employee compensation is accounted for at fair value under SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment. The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R) on December 30, 2005 prospectively for new equity based grants, as there were no equity based grants prior to the date of adoption. The determination of fair value of options requires that management make complex estimates and judgments. The Company utilizes the Black-Scholes option price model to estimate the fair value of the options, which model requires estimates of various factors used, including expected life of options, risk free interest rate, expected volatility and dividend yield. Refer to Note 8.
 
Income Taxes — As a limited liability company, NCM LLC’s taxable income or loss is allocated to the founding members and managing member and, therefore, no provision or liability for income taxes is included in the financial statements.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities. The new standard changes the manner of presentation and related disclosures of the fair values of derivative instruments and their gains and losses. It also provides more information about an entity’s liquidity by requiring disclosure of derivative features that are credit risk related. SFAS No. 161 is effective for fiscal

years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company is evaluating the impact of SFAS No. 161 on its financial statements.
 
In April 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) No. FAS 142-3, Determination of the Useful Life of Intangible Assets, which improves the consistency of the useful life of a recognized intangible asset among various pronouncements. FSP SFAS No. 142-3 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is evaluating the impact of FSP SFAS No. 142-3 on its financial statements.
 
In June 2008, the FASB issued FSP No. EITF 03-6-1, Determining Whether Instruments Granted in Share-Based Payment Transactions are Participating Securities, which addresses whether instruments granted in share-based payment transactions are participating securities prior to vesting and, therefore, need to be included in the earnings allocation in computing earnings per share under the two-class method. FSP No. EITF 03-6-1 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company is evaluating the impact of FSP No. EITF 03-6-1 on its financial statements.

At January 1, 2009 , there was one client and one advertising agency group through which the Company sources national advertising revenue representing approximately 10% and 20%, respectively, of the Company’s outstanding gross receivable balance; however, none of the individual contracts related to the advertising agency were more than 10% of advertising revenue. At December 27, 2007, there was one individual account representing approximately 15% of the Company’s gross receivable balance. The collectability risk is reduced by dealing with large, nationwide firms who have strong reputations in the advertising industry and stable financial conditions.

4.   INTANGIBLE ASSETS
 
During 2008, NCM LLC issued 2,544,949 common membership units to its founding members in connection with its rights of exclusive access to net new theatres and attendees added by the founding members to NCM LLC’s network and 2,913,754 common membership units to Regal in connection with the closing of its acquisition of Consolidated Theatres. The Company recorded an intangible asset of $116.1 million representing the contractual rights. The Company based the fair value of the intangibles on the fair value of the common membership units issued. The number of units issued to Regal assumed that NCM LLC would have immediate access to the Consolidated Theatres for sales of advertising. However, Consolidated Theatres has a pre-existing advertising agreement. Accordingly, Regal makes cash integration payments to NCM LLC which will continue through January 2011 to account for the lack of access, which are recorded as a reduction of the intangible asset. As of January 1, 2009, $2.8 million has been applied to the intangible asset.
 
Pursuant to SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets, the intangible asset has a finite useful life and the Company began to amortize the asset related to the common membership units in 2008 over the remaining useful life corresponding with the ESAs. Amortization of the asset related to Consolidated Theatres will not begin until after January 2011 since the Company will not have access to on-screen advertising in the Consolidated Theatres until the run-out of their existing on — screen advertising agreement. The weighted-average amortization period is 29 years.

6.   RELATED-PARTY TRANSACTIONS
 
Year Ended January 1, 2009 and 2007 Post-IPO Period — Pursuant to the ESAs, the Company makes monthly theatre access fee payments to the founding members, comprised of a payment per theatre attendee and a payment per digital screen of the founding member theatres. Also, the founding members can purchase advertising time for the display of up to 90 seconds of on-screen advertising under their beverage concessionaire agreements at a specified 30 second equivalent cost per thousand (“CPM”) impressions. The total theatre access fee to the founding members for the year ended January 1, 2009 and the 2007 post-IPO period is $49.8 million and $41.5 million, respectively. The total revenue related to the beverage concessionaire agreements for the year ended January 1, 2009 and the 2007 post-IPO period is $43.3 million and $40.9 million, respectively. In addition, the Company makes payments to the founding members for use of their screens and theatres for its meetings and events business. These payments are at rates (percentage of event revenue) included in the ESAs based on the nature of the event. Payments to the founding members for these events totaled $6.0 million and $3.8 million for the year ended January 1, 2009 and the 2007 post-IPO period, respectively.
 
Also, pursuant to the terms of the LLC Operating Agreement in place since the close of the IPO, NCM LLC is required to make mandatory distributions to its members of available cash, as defined in the NCM LLC Operating Agreement, on a quarterly basis. The available cash distribution to the members of NCM LLC for the year ended January 1, 2009 and the 2007 post-IPO period was $131.0 million and $119.1 million, respectively. At January 1, 2009, $28.7 million was included in the due to/from founding members.

On January 26, 2006, AMC acquired the Loews Cineplex Entertainment Inc. (“AMC Loews”) theatre circuit. The Loews screen integration agreement, effective as of January 5, 2007 and amended and restated as of February 13, 2007, between NCM LLC and AMC, commits AMC to cause substantially all of the theatres it acquired from Loews to be included in the NCM digital network in accordance with the ESAs on June 1, 2008. In accordance with the Loews screen integration agreement, prior to June 1, 2008 AMC paid the Company amounts based on an agreed- upon calculation to reflect cash amounts that approximated what NCM LLC would have generated if the Company sold on-screen advertising in the Loews theatre chain on an exclusive basis. These AMC Loews payments were made on a quarterly basis in arrears through May 31, 2008, with the exception of Star Theatres, which will be paid through March 2009 in accordance with certain run-out provisions. For the year ended January 1, 2009 and the 2007 post-IPO period, the AMC Loews payment was $4.7 million (including Star Theatres) and $11.2 million, respectively. At January 1, 2009, $0.4 million was included in the due to/from founding members. The AMC Loews payment was recorded directly to NCM LLC’s members’ equity account.
 
On April 30, 2008, Regal acquired Consolidated Theatres. Regal must make payments pursuant to the ESAs on a quarterly basis in arrears through January 2011 in accordance with certain run-out provisions. For the year ended January 1, 2009, the Consolidated Theatres payment was $2.8 million, of which $1.2 million was included in the due to/from founding members. The Consolidated Theatres payment was recorded as a reduction of the intangible asset that was created in connection with the common membership units issued to Regal upon the closing of its acquisition of Consolidated Theatres (see Note 4).
 
2007 Pre-IPO Period and 2006 — At the formation of NCM LLC and upon the admission of Cinemark as a founding member, circuit share arrangements and administrative services fee arrangements were in place with each founding member. Circuit share cost and administrative fee revenue by founding member were as follows (in millions):

NCM LLC’s administrative services fee was earned at a rate of 32% of the $16.8 million of legacy contract value for the year ended December 28, 2006. At the closing of the IPO, the founding members entered into amended and restated ESAs, which, among other things, amended the circuit share structure in favor of the theatre access fee structure and assigned all remaining legacy contracts to NCM LLC.
 
Pursuant to the agreements entered into at the completion of the IPO, amounts owed to the founding members through the date of the IPO of $50.8 million were paid by NCM LLC on March 15, 2007.

NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS — (Continued)
 
Other — During the year ended January 1, 2009, the 2007 post-IPO period, the 2007 pre-IPO period and the year ended December 28, 2006, AMC, Cinemark and Regal purchased $2.3 million, $1.4 million, $0.1 million and $2.1 million, respectively, of NCM LLC’s advertising inventory for their own use. The value of such purchases are calculated by reference to NCM LLC’s advertising rate card and is included in advertising revenue with a percentage of such amounts returned by NCM LLC to the founding members as advertising circuit share during the 2007 pre-IPO period and the year ended December 28, 2006.
 
Included in meetings and events operating costs is $1.8 million, $3.3 million, $0.2 million and $4.1 million for the year ended January 1, 2009, the 2007 post-IPO period, the 2007 pre-IPO period and the year December 28, 2006, respectively, related to purchases of movie tickets and concession products from the founding members primarily for resale to NCM LLC’s customers.
 
IdeaCast — NCM LLC and IdeaCast entered into a shared services agreement, which allows for cross-marketing and certain services to be provided between the companies at rates, which will be determined on an arms length basis. The services provided by or to IdeaCast for the year ended January 1, 2009 and the 2007 post-IPO period were not material to NCM.
 
RCI Unit Option Plan — During the year ended January 1, 2009, the 2007 post-IPO period, the 2007 pre-IPO period and the year ended December 28, 2006, severance expense and the related capital contribution recognized for amounts under the Regal Unit Option Plan were $0.5 million, $1.5 million, $0.4 million and $4.2 million, respectively. Since this severance plan provides for payments over future periods that are contingent upon continued employment with the Company, the cost of the severance plan is being recorded as an expense over the remaining required service periods. As the payments under the plan are being funded by Regal, Regal is credited with a capital contribution at NCM LLC equal to this severance plan expense. The Company records the expense as a separate line item in the statements of operations. The amount recorded is not allocated to advertising operating costs, network costs, selling and marketing costs and administrative costs because the recorded expense is associated with the past performance of Regal’s common stock market value rather than current period performance.
 
National CineMedia, Inc. — Pursuant to the LLC Operating Agreement, as the sole manager of NCM LLC, NCM, Inc. provides certain specific management services to NCM LLC, including those services of the positions of president and chief executive officer, president of sales and chief marketing officer, executive vice president and chief financial officer, executive vice president and chief technology and operations officer and executive vice president and general counsel. In exchange for the services, NCM LLC reimburses NCM, Inc. for compensation and other expenses of the officers and for certain out-of-pocket costs. During the year ended January 1, 2009 and the 2007 post-IPO period, NCM LLC paid NCM, Inc. $9.7 million and $9.2 million, respectively, for these services and expenses. The payments for estimated management services related to employment are made one month in advance. At January 1, 2009 and December 27, 2007, $0.5 million and $0.5 million, respectively, has been paid in advance and is reflected as prepaid management fees to managing member in the accompanying financial statements. NCM LLC also provides administrative and support services to NCM, Inc. such as office facilities, equipment, supplies, payroll and accounting and financial reporting at no charge. Based on the limited activities of NCM, Inc. as a standalone entity, the Company does not believe such unreimbursed costs are significant. The management services agreement also provides that NCM LLC employees may participate in the NCM, Inc. equity incentive plan (see Note 8).
 
Also, pursuant to the terms of the NCM LLC Operating Agreement in place since the close of the NCM, Inc. IPO, the Company is required to made mandatory distributions to the members of available cash, as defined in the NCM LLC Operating Agreement, on a quarterly basis. The available cash distribution to NCM, Inc. for the year ended January 1, 2009 and the 2007 post-IPO period is $55.5 million and $53.3 million, respectively. At January 1, 2009, $21.0 million is included in the due to/from managing member.

7.   BORROWINGS
 
Revolving Credit Agreement — On March 22, 2006, NCM LLC entered into a bank-funded $20.0 million Revolving Credit Agreement, of which $2.0 million could have been utilized in support of letters of credit. The revolving credit agreement was collateralized by trade receivables, and borrowings under the revolving credit agreement were limited to 85% of eligible trade receivables, as defined. The revolving credit agreement bore interest, at NCM LLC’s option, at either an adjusted Eurodollar rate or the base rate plus, in each case, an applicable margin. Outstanding borrowings at December 28, 2006, were $10.0 million. The revolving credit agreement was repaid and cancelled on February 13, 2007.
 
Senior Secured Credit Facility — On February 13, 2007, concurrently with the closing of the IPO of NCM, Inc., NCM LLC entered into a senior secured credit facility with a group of lenders. The facility consists of a six-year $80.0 million revolving credit facility and an eight-year, $725.0 million term loan facility. The revolving credit facility portion is available, subject to certain conditions, for general corporate purposes of the Company in the ordinary course of business and for other transactions permitted under the credit agreement, and a portion is available for letters of credit. The obligations under the credit facility are secured by a lien on substantially all of the assets of NCM LLC.
 
The outstanding balance of the term loan facility at January 1, 2009 was $725.0 million. The outstanding balance under the revolving credit facility at January 1, 2009 was $74.0 million. As of January 1, 2009, the effective rate on the term loan was 6.01% including the effect of the interest rate swaps (both those accounted for as hedges and those not). The interest rate swaps hedged $550.0 million of the $725.0 million term loan at a fixed interest rate of 6.734% while the unhedged portion was at an interest rate of 3.75%. The weighted-average interest rate on the unhedged revolver was 3.19%. Commencing with the fourth fiscal quarter in fiscal year 2008, the applicable margin for the revolving credit facility will be determined quarterly and will be subject to adjustment based upon a consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio for NCM LLC and its subsidiaries (defined in the NCM LLC credit agreement as the ratio of secured funded debt less unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, over Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the credit agreement). The senior secured credit facility also contains a number of covenants and financial ratio requirements, with which the Company was in compliance at January 1, 2009, including the consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio. As of January 1, 2009, our consolidated net senior secured leverage ratio was 3.9 times the covenant. amount of debt that is required to be hedged. The debt covenants require 50% of the term loan, or $362.5 million to be hedged at a fixed rate. As of January 1, 2009, the Company had approximately 76% hedged (57% without considering the LBSF portion of the hedge). Of the $550.0 million that is hedged, $137.5 million is with LBSF and is still in effect. However, the Company has notified LBSF of an event of default. While not required to be in compliance with its debt covenants, the Company is evaluating whether to seek a replacement hedge for the LBSF portion. In addition, while the bankruptcy court has authorized LBSF to assign certain of its hedges that have not been terminated under certain circumstances, the Company has not received any notice that Lehman has assigned, or has entered into any negotiations to assign, its swap agreement with NCM LLC. See Note 1 for an additional discussion of the interest rate swaps.
 
On September 15, 2008, Lehman filed for protection under Chapter 11 of the federal Bankruptcy Code in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York. NCM LLC has an aggregate

revolving credit facility commitment of $80.0 million with a consortium of banks, including $20.0 million with Lehman Commercial Paper Inc. (“LCPI”), a subsidiary of Lehman. As of January 1, 2009, NCM LLC borrowed $14.0 million from LCPI under the revolving credit facility. LCPI failed to fund its undrawn commitment of $6.0 million. NCM LLC does not anticipate LCPI to fulfill its funding commitment; however, the Company’s cash flows have not been adversely impacted. Until the LCPI issues are resolved, NCM LLC is not anticipating repaying any of its revolver borrowings as it would effectively result in a permanent reduction of its revolving credit facility, to the extent of the LCPI commitments. In addition, while the bankruptcy court has authorized LCPI to resign as the administrative agent under the revolving credit facility, to the Company’s knowledge they have not yet done so.
 
Future Maturities of Long-Term Borrowings — There are no scheduled annual maturities on the credit facility for the next five years and as of January 1, 2009; the next scheduled annual maturity on the outstanding credit facility of $799.0 million is after fiscal year 2012.
 
8.   SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION
 
On April 4, 2006, NCM LLC’s board of directors approved the NCM LLC 2006 Unit Option Plan, under which 1,131,728 units were outstanding as of December 28, 2006. Under certain circumstances, holders of unit options could put the options to NCM LLC for cash. As such, the Unit Option Plan was accounted for as a liability plan and the liability was measured at its fair value at each reporting date. The valuation of the liability was determined based on provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), and factored into the valuation that the options were granted in contemplation of an IPO. The Company used the estimated pricing of the IPO at the time of the grant to determine the equity value, for each unit underlying the options. The Unit Option Plan allowed for additional equity awards to be issued to outstanding option holders in the event of the occurrence of an IPO, with the purpose of the additional option awards or restricted units being to ensure that the economic value of outstanding unit options, as defined in the agreement, held just prior to an IPO was maintained by the option holder immediately after the offering.
 
At the date of the NCM, Inc. IPO, the Company adopted the NCM, Inc. 2007 Equity Incentive Plan. The employees of NCM, Inc. and the employees of NCM LLC are eligible for participation in the Equity Incentive Plan. Under the Equity Incentive Plan, NCM, Inc. issued stock options on 1,589,625 shares of common stock to holders of outstanding unit options in substitution of the unit options and also issued 262,466 shares of restricted stock. In connection with the conversion at the date of the NCM, Inc. IPO, and pursuant to the antidilution adjustment terms of the Unit Option Plan, the exercise price and the number of shares of common stock subject to options held by the Company’s option holders were adjusted to prevent dilution and restore their economic position to that existing immediately before the NCM, Inc. IPO. The Equity Incentive Plan is treated as an equity plan under the provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), and the existing liability under the Unit Option Plan at the end of the 2007 pre-IPO period of $2.3 million was reclassified to members’ equity at that date.
 
As of January 1, 2009, there were 2,576,000 shares of common stock available for issuance or delivery under the Equity Incentive Plan. Options awarded under the Equity Incentive Plan are generally granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of NCM, Inc. common stock on the date of the grant. Under the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123R, the Company recognizes stock-based compensation net of an estimated forfeiture rate, and therefore only recognizes stock-based compensation cost for those shares NCM, Inc. expects to vest over the requisite service period of the award. Options generally vest annually over a five-year period and have either 10-year or 15-year contractual terms. A forfeiture rate of 5% was estimated for all employees to reflect the potential separation of employees.
 
The Company recognized $2.1 million, $1.9 million, $0.3 million and $1.9 million for the year ended January 1, 2009, the 2007 post-IPO period, the 2007 pre-IPO period and the year ended December 28, 2006, respectively, of share-based compensation expense for these options and $0.1 million and $0 were capitalized

during the year ended January 1, 2009 and December 27, 2007, respectively. The recognized expense, including the equity based compensation costs of NCM, Inc. employees is included in the operating results of NCM LLC. As of January 1, 2009, unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested options was approximately $7.2 million, which will be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 3.38 years.
 
The weighted average grant date fair value of granted options was $3.77 and $6.23 for the year ended January 1, 2009 and the 2007 post-IPO period. The intrinsic value of options exercised during the year ended January 1, 2009 was $0.2 million. During 2008, the amount of cash received on option exercises was $0.6 million. The total fair value of awards vested during the year ended January 1, 2009 was $3.9 million. There were no options vested or exercised prior to the 2008 fiscal year.
 
The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which requires that NCM, Inc. make estimates of various factors. The following assumptions were used in the valuation of the options:
 
                 
    Fiscal 2008     2007 Post-IPO  
 
Expected life of options
    6.5 years       6.5 to 9 years

Non-vested Stock — NCM, Inc. implemented a non-vested stock program as part of the Equity Incentive Plan. The plan provides for non-vested stock awards to officers, board members and other key employees, including employees of NCM LLC. Under the non-vested stock program, common stock of NCM, Inc. may be granted at no cost to officers, board members and key employees, subject to a continued employment restriction and as such restrictions lapse, the award vests in that proportion. The participants are entitled to cash dividends from NCM, Inc. and to vote their respective shares, although the sale and transfer of such shares is prohibited and the shares are subject to forfeiture during the non-vested period. The shares are also subject to the terms and provisions of the Equity Incentive Plan. Non-vested stock granted in 2008 to employees vest in equal annual installments over a five-year period. Non-vested stock granted to non-employee directors vest after one year. Compensation cost is valued based on the market price on the grant date and is expensed over the vesting period.
 
The following table represents the shares of non-vested stock:

The Company recorded $1.3 million and $1.2 million in compensation expense related to such outstanding non-vested shares during the year ended January 1, 2009 and 2007 post-IPO period and minimal amounts were capitalized during the 2008 fiscal year. The recognized expense, including the equity based compensation costs of NCM, Inc. employees, is included in the operating results of NCM LLC. As of January 1, 2009, unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock was approximately $3.6 million, which will be recognized over a weighted average remaining period of 3.36 years. The total fair value of awards vested during the year ended January 1, 2009 was $2.1 million.
 
9.   EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
 
NCM sponsors the NCM 401(k) Profit Sharing Plan (the “Plan”) under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, for the benefit of substantially all full-time employees. The Plan provides that participants may contribute up to 20% of their compensation, subject to Internal Revenue Service limitations. Employee contributions are invested in various investment funds based upon election made by the employee. The Company made discretionary contributions of $0.8 million, $0.6 million and $0.6 million during the years ended January 1, 2009, December 27, 2007 and December 28, 2006, respectively.

Contingent Put Obligation
 
On April 29, 2008, NCM LLC, IdeaCast, the IdeaCast lender and certain of its stockholders agreed to a financial restructuring of IdeaCast. Among other things, the restructuring resulted in the lender being granted an option to “put,” or require NCM LLC to purchase, up to $10 million of the funded convertible debt at par, on or after December 31, 2010 through March 31, 2011. NCM may satisfy its put obligation by paying cash or issuing NCM shares of equal value. In accordance with FIN No. 45, the estimated fair value of $2.4 million was recorded as of April 29, 2008, which represents the noncontingent obligation. The carrying amount of the FIN 45 liability was $2.0 million as of January 1, 2009. During the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company determined that the initial investment and call right in IdeaCast were other-than-temporarily impaired due to IdeaCast’s defaults on its senior debt and liquidity issues. The key factors identified by management in making these assessments and determining the amounts were events of default on IdeaCast’s convertible debt that emerged after the fourth quarter 2008 IdeaCast operating results were analyzed and after IdeaCast failed to make a scheduled debt service payment and ongoing discussions with the convertible debt lender. Refer to Note 1 for additional details. In addition, the Company determined that the put obligation was probable and recorded an additional contingent liability of $2.5 million. The total liability at January 1, 2009 was $4.5 million, which represents the excess of a reasonably estimated probable loss on the put (net of estimated recoveries from the net assets of IdeaCast that serve as collateral for the convertible debt) obligation over the unamortized FIN 45 liability.
 
Minimum Revenue Guarantees
 
As part of the network affiliate agreements entered in the ordinary course of business, the Company has agreed to certain minimum revenue guarantees. If an affiliate achieves the attendance set forth in their respective agreement, the Company has guaranteed minimum revenue for the network affiliate per attendee. The amount and term varies for each network affiliate. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make pursuant to the minimum revenue guarantees is $24.0 million over the remaining terms of the network affiliate agreements. The Company has no liabilities recorded for these obligations as of January 1, 2009.

Item 20.   Indemnification of Directors and Officers.
 
Art. 2.02-1 of the Texas Business Corporation Act permits the Company, subject to the procedures and limitations stated therein, to indemnify any person who was, is or is threatened to be made a named defendant or respondent in a proceeding because the person is or was a director or officer against judgments, penalties (including excise and similar taxes), fines, settlements and reasonable expenses (including court costs and attorneys’ fees) actually incurred by the person in connection with the proceeding. The Company is required by Art. 2.02-1 to indemnify a director or officer against reasonable expenses (including court costs and attorneys’ fees) incurred by him in connection with a proceeding in which he is a named defendant or respondent because he is or was a director or officer if he has been wholly successful, on the merits or otherwise, in the defense of the proceeding. The statute provides that indemnification pursuant to its provisions is not exclusive of other rights of indemnification to which a person may be entitled under any bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders or disinterested directors, or otherwise. The articles and bylaws of the Company provide for indemnification by the Company of its directors and officers to the fullest extent permitted by the Texas Business Corporation Act. In addition, the Company has, pursuant to Article 1302-7.06 of the Texas Miscellaneous Corporation Laws Act, provided in its articles of incorporation that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, a director of the Company shall not be liable to the Company or its shareholders for monetary damages for an act or omission in a director’s capacity as director of the Company.
 
The indemnification provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of our directors and officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act.
 
The insurance policy of Cinemark Holdings covers indemnification of our officers and directors and certain other persons against liabilities and expenses incurred by any of them in certain stated proceedings and under certain stated conditions.
 
Item 21.   Exhibits and Financial Statement Schedules.
 
See Index to Exhibits, attached hereto.
 
Item 22.   Undertakings.
 
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
 
(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:
 
(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
 
(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually of in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement; and
 
(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement.
 
(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.


II-1

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
 
(4) That, for purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:
 
(i) Each prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) as part of the registration statement relating to an offering, other than registration statements relying on Rule 430B or other than prospectuses filed in reliance on Rule 430A, shall be deemed to be part of and included in the registration statement as of the date it is first used after effectiveness. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such first use, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such date of first use.
 
(5) That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of securities:
 
The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:
 
(i) Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;
 
(ii) Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;
 
(iii) The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and
 
(iv) Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.
 
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
 
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to respond to requests for information that is incorporated by reference into the prospectus pursuant to Items 4, 10(b), 11, or 13 of this Form, within one business day of receipt of such request, and to send the incorporated documents by first class mail or other equally prompt means. This includes information contained in documents filed subsequent to the effective date of the registration statement through the date of responding to the request.
 
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes to supply by means of a post-effective amendment all information concerning a transaction, and the company being acquired involved therein, that was not the subject of and included in the registration statement when it became effective.
