Item 8.01 Other Events.

On March 6, 2025, the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (the "Company") approved a share repurchase program (the “Program”). Under the Program, the Company is authorized to repurchase up to $200 million of its outstanding stock. The Program may be executed from time to time through a combination of open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, pursuant to Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, or other means in accordance with federal securities laws. This Program will commence on March 11, 2025, continuing until the authorized repurchase amount is reached, or the Board suspends or terminates the Program, whichever occurs first.

All or part of the repurchase may be implemented under a Rule 10b5-1 trading plan, which would allow the Company to repurchase shares under pre-set terms at times when it might otherwise be prevented from doing so under insider trading laws or self-imposed blackout periods. Subject to the terms of any 10b5-1 plan, the actual timing, volume and nature of repurchases under the Program will be determined by management at its discretion and will depend on a number of factors, including market conditions, the price of the Company's stock and other factors as determined by management.

Repurchases under the Program will be funded using the Company’s available cash and will be made in accordance with applicable securities laws and other requirements. The Program does not obligate the Company to acquire any particular amount of common stock, and may be suspended or discontinued at any time at the Company’s discretion.

The Company is implementing the Program to facilitate opportunistic open market share repurchases and proactively mitigate potential dilution associated with the settlement of its convertible notes maturing in August 2025 and the related call spread. The Company believes that the stock repurchase program is in the best interests of its shareholders and reflects the Company's confidence in its long-term business prospects.
