The Offering is expected to close on March 16, 2021, subject to customary closing conditions.

The Notes and the guarantees will be Cinemark USA’s and the guarantors’ senior unsecured obligations and will rank equally in right of payment with Cinemark USA’s and the guarantors’ existing and future senior debt. Cinemark USA intends to use the net proceeds of the proposed Offering, together with cash on hand, to fund a cash tender offer (the “Tender Offer”) to purchase any and all of Cinemark USA’s 5.125% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “5.125% Notes”), to redeem any of the 5.125% Notes that remain outstanding after the Tender Offer, and to pay related fees and expenses. This press release is not an offer to purchase or a solicitation of an offer to sell any securities, and does not constitute a redemption notice for any securities. The Tender Offer is being made solely by means of an offer to purchase and related letter of transmittal.

The Notes and the related guarantees were offered and sold only to persons reasonably believed to be 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. The Notes and the related guarantees have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state or other jurisdiction, and the Notes may not be offered or sold in the United States without registration or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities or blue sky laws and foreign securities laws.

This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell, or the solicitation of an offer to buy any securities, nor shall there be any sales of securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction. This notice is being issued pursuant to and in accordance with Rule 135c under the Securities Act.
