PROXY STATEMENT

ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

May 22, 2014

GENERAL INFORMATION

Solicitation and Revocability of Proxies

The Board is soliciting proxies in connection with the 2014 annual meeting of stockholders and any adjournment thereof (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held on May 22, 2014, at 9 a.m. CDT at the Company’s West Plano Theatre located at 3800 Dallas Parkway, Plano, TX 75093. The approximate date on which this proxy statement and the enclosed proxy are first being sent to stockholders is April 11, 2014.

Shares Outstanding and Voting Rights

As of April 2, 2014, 115,689,880 shares of the Company’s Common Stock were outstanding. The Common Stock constitutes the only class of voting securities of the Company. Only stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 2, 2014 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at the Annual Meeting. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share so held.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT

THE MEETING AND VOTING

We are holding the Annual Meeting to elect three Class I directors, to ratify the selection of Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2014 fiscal year and to hold a non-binding, advisory vote of stockholders on our executive compensation program and the compensation paid to our named executive officers for the 2013 fiscal year. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board (the “Governance Committee”) has recommended the nominees to our Board and our Board has nominated the nominees. Our Audit Committee has appointed Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2014 fiscal year and our Board has ratified the appointment. Our Compensation Committee has approved our executive compensation program and the Board has recommended that the stockholders vote to approve our executive compensation program and the compensation paid to our named executive officers for the 2013 fiscal year. If any other matters requiring a stockholder vote properly come before the Annual Meeting, those stockholders present at the Annual Meeting and the proxies who have been appointed by our stockholders will vote as they deem appropriate.

The Record Date for the Annual Meeting is April 2, 2014. The Record Date is established by the Board as required by Delaware law. Owners of record of Common Stock at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to:

(a) Stockholder of record: If your shares are registered in your name with our transfer agent, Wells Fargo Shareowner Services, you are a stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As a stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your proxy directly to us or to a third party, or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

7

(b) Stockholder who holds stock in street name: If your shares are held by a broker or by a bank, you are considered to be a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name.” As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or bank on how to vote and you are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. Your broker or bank, as the record holder of your shares, may exercise discretionary authority to vote on “routine” proposals but may not vote on “non-routine” proposals without your instructions.

These proxy materials are being forwarded to you on behalf of your broker or bank. Your broker or bank has enclosed or provided voting instructions for you to use in directing the broker or bank on how to vote your shares. Since a beneficial owner in street name is not the stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the broker or bank that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares at the Annual Meeting.

A majority of our outstanding Common Stock as of the Record Date must be present at the Annual Meeting in order to hold the Annual Meeting and conduct business. This is called a “quorum.” Unless a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting, no action may be taken at the Annual Meeting except the adjournment thereof until a later time. Shares are counted as present at the Annual Meeting if you are present and vote in person at the Annual Meeting, if you vote via the Internet, by telephone, or if you are represented by proxy. Abstentions and “broker non-votes” are counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.

A proxy is your legal designation of another person to vote the stock you own. The person(s) that you designate to vote your shares are called proxies. Tim Warner, Robert Copple and Michael Cavalier of the Company have been designated as proxies for the Annual Meeting. The term “proxy” also refers to the written document or “proxy card” that you sign to authorize those persons to vote your shares.

By executing the proxy card, you authorize the above-named individuals to act as your proxies to vote your shares in the manner that you specify. The proxy voting mechanism is vitally important to us. In order for us to obtain the necessary stockholder approval of proposals, a quorum of stockholders must be represented at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy. Since few stockholders can spend the time or money to attend stockholder meetings in person, voting by proxy is necessary to obtain a quorum and complete the stockholder vote. It is important that you attend the Annual Meeting in person or grant a proxy to vote your shares to assure a quorum is obtained so corporate business can be transacted. If a quorum is not obtained, we must postpone the Annual Meeting and solicit additional proxies, which is an expensive and time-consuming process.

If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote:

8

If you are a beneficial holder, you may vote:

Stockholder of Record.

If you are a stockholder of record and you:

then the proxy holders will vote your shares in the manner recommended by the Board on all matters presented in this proxy statement and as the proxy holders may determine in their discretion with respect to any other matters properly presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting.

Beneficial Owner.

If you own shares through a broker or bank and do not provide voting instructions to the broker or bank holding your shares, your broker or bank may represent your shares at the Annual Meeting for purposes of obtaining a quorum. Your broker or bank may vote your shares in its discretion on some “routine matters”. However, with respect to “non-routine matters”, your broker or bank may not vote your shares for you. With respect to these “non-routine matters”, the aggregate number of unvoted shares is reported as “broker non-votes”.

If you are the beneficial owner of shares and hold stock in street name, then the broker or bank, as the stockholder of record of the shares, may exercise discretionary authority to vote your shares with respect to “routine” matters but will not be permitted to vote the shares with respect to “non-routine” matters. A broker non-vote occurs when you do not provide the broker with voting instructions on “non-routine” matters for shares owned by you but held in the name of the broker. For such matters, the broker cannot vote and reports the number of such shares as “broker non-votes.”

“Broker non-votes” and abstentions are counted for purposes of determining a quorum. However, see below with regards to the effect of “broker non-votes” and abstentions on approval of specific agenda items.

Under the broker voting rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2014 fiscal year (Item 2) is considered a “routine” matter. “Broker non-votes” will not arise in the context of Item 2 as brokers may exercise discretionary authority to vote your shares on Item 2.

Under the broker voting rules of the NYSE, the election of directors (Item 1) and the non-binding, annual advisory vote on executive compensation (Item 3) are considered “non-routine” matters. As a consequence, brokers will not be able to vote on Item 1 and Item 3 without receiving instructions from the beneficial owners. As a result, “broker non-votes” could arise in the context of these proposals.

9

Approval of Item 1: Beginning the Annual Meeting, pursuant to the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Corporate Governance Guidelines (the “Corporate Governance Guidelines”), the Board has adopted a form of majority voting standard for uncontested director elections that is sometimes referred to as a “plurality plus” standard. Under this “plurality plus” standard if a director nominee does not receive a majority of the “for” votes cast in an uncontested director election, then the director nominee shall promptly tender his resignation from the Board and all committees of the Board following certification of the results of the Annual Meeting by the Inspector of Elections. The Governance Committee (excluding the nominee in question if applicable) would then consider the resignation offer and make a recommendation to the Board as to whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether to take other action such as allowing the director to continue to serve on the Board as a “holdover director” as permitted by Delaware corporate law. Within 90 days following certification of the stockholder vote, the Board will make a final determination as to whether to accept the director’s resignation. The Board’s explanation of its decision would then be promptly disclosed in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC.

Votes marked “For” Item 1 will be counted in favor of all director nominees.

Approval of Item 2: The ratification of the appointment of Deloitte requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present or represented by proxy and voting at the Annual Meeting. Since this proposal is considered a “routine” matter, “broker non-votes” do not arise and brokers and banks may exercise discretionary authority to vote your shares. Abstention will have the same effect as a vote against this proposal. Therefore, abstentions might prevent the approval of Item 2 if the number of affirmative votes does not constitute a majority of the shares of Common Stock present or represented by proxy and voting at the Annual Meeting.

Approval of Item 3: The advisory vote on executive compensation requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present or represented by proxy and voting at the Annual Meeting. Since this proposal is considered a “non-routine” matter, “broker non-votes” may arise and abstentions and “broker non-votes” could prevent the approval of this Item.

The Board recommends that you vote:

You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the proxy has been exercised at the Annual Meeting.

If you are a stockholder of record, your proxy can be revoked in several ways:

If your shares are held in street name, you must contact your broker or bank in order to revoke your proxy. Generally, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your broker or bank, or, by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person if you have obtained a “legal proxy” from your broker or bank giving you the right to vote your shares.

10

The Company has retained a representative of Wells Fargo Shareowner Services to serve as an independent tabulator to receive and tabulate the proxies and as an independent inspector of election to certify the results.

The Company pays for this proxy solicitation. We use our transfer agent, its agents, and brokers to distribute all proxy materials to our stockholders. We will pay them a fee and reimburse any expenses they incur in making the distribution. Proxies will be solicited on behalf of the Board by mail, telephone, other electronic means or in person. We have retained D.F. King & Co., Inc., 48 Wall Street, 22nd Floor, New York, NY 10005, to assist with the solicitation for a fee of $7,000 plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

Stockholders may receive a copy of the Company’s 2013 Form 10-K at no charge by sending a written request to Michael Cavalier, Company Secretary at Cinemark Holdings, Inc., 3900 Dallas Parkway, Suite 500, Plano, Texas 75093.

The SEC also maintains a Web site that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding registrants. The address of the Web site is www.sec.gov.

Stockholder proposals requested to be included in our proxy statement and form of proxy for our 2015 annual meeting must be in writing and received by the end of business on December 12, 2014 at our principal executive offices at 3900 Dallas Parkway, Suite 500, Plano, Texas 75093, Attention: Michael Cavalier, Company Secretary.

Stockholders who wish to nominate a director or introduce a proposal not included in the proxy statement at the 2015 annual meeting may do so in accordance with our by-laws. These procedures provide that stockholders who wish to bring a proper subject of business before the 2015 annual meeting must do so by a written notice in proper written form to the Company Secretary received not less than 90 and not more than120 days before the anniversary date of the Annual Meeting and must be accompanied by certain information about the stockholder making the proposal, in accordance with our by-laws. As a result, any notice given by or on behalf of a stockholder pursuant to these provisions of our by-laws (and not pursuant to the SEC’s Rule 14a-8) must be received no earlier than January 22, 2015, and no later than February 21, 2015 at our principal executive offices at 3900 Dallas Parkway, Suite 500, Plano, Texas 75093, Attention: Michael Cavalier, Company Secretary.

A copy of our by-laws is available from the Company Secretary upon written request.

ITEM 1 — ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Composition of the Board, Nomination of Class I Directors and Director Elections

Our Board is currently comprised of ten members. The size of the Board may be fixed from time to time exclusively by our Board as provided in our Certificate of Incorporation. Our Certificate of Incorporation also provides that our Board consists of three classes of directors, designated as Class I, Class II and Class III. The members of each class are elected to serve a three-year term, with the terms of office of each class ending in successive years. On April 9, 2007, immediately prior to our initial public offering, we entered into a director nomination agreement with certain of our then current stockholders permitting those certain stockholders to designate persons for appointment or nomination for election to the Board (the “Director Nomination Agreement”). Currently, only the Mitchell Investors (as defined in the Director Nomination Agreement) have a right to designate two nominees to the Board and Messers. Mitchell and Sepulveda were nominated to the Board by the Mitchell Investors. Madison Dearborn Capital Partners IV, L.P. (“MDCP”), Syufy Enterprises, LLP (“Syufy Enterprises”) and Quadrangle Investors (as defined in the Director Nomination Agreement) no longer have any beneficial ownership in the Company’s Common Stock. However, Messers. Chereskin, Dombalagian, Senior and Soderquist (former nominees of MDCP), Mr. Peter Ezersky (a former nominee of Quadrangle Investors) and Mr. Raymond Syufy (a former nominee of Syufy Enterprises) are continuing to serve as directors subject to their re-election upon the expiry of their respective terms.

The terms of the current Class I directors, Messers. Rosenberg, Senior, Soderquist and Staubach expire at the Annual Meeting. Each of Messers. Rosenberg, Senior and Soderquist has consented to be nominated for re-election to the Board as a Class I director. However, Mr. Staubach has notified the Company that he will not stand for re-election at the Annual Meeting. His decision is not due to any disagreements with us on any of our operations, policies or practices.

We have no reason to believe that any of the director nominees (Messers. Rosenberg, Senior and Soderquist) will be unable or unwilling to serve if elected. However, should any of them become unavailable or unwilling to serve before the Annual Meeting, your proxy card authorizes us to vote for a replacement nominee if the Board names one.

The Governance Committee has recommended to the Board, and the Board has approved, the nomination of Messers. Rosenberg, Senior and Soderquist for election to the Board as Class I directors. Each of Messers. Rosenberg, Senior and Soderquist, if elected, will serve on the Board for a three-year term expiring on the date of our 2017 annual meeting of stockholders.

Beginning at the Annual Meeting, the Board has adopted a form of majority voting standard for uncontested director elections that is sometimes referred to as a “plurality plus” standard. Under this “plurality plus” standard if a director nominee does not receive a majority of the “for” votes cast in an uncontested director election, then the director nominee shall promptly tender his resignation from the Board and all committees of the Board following certification of the results of the Annual Meeting by the Inspector of Elections. The Governance Committee (excluding the nominee in question if applicable) would then consider the resignation offer and make a recommendation to the Board as to whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether to take other action such as allowing the director to continue to serve on the Board as a “holdover director” as permitted by Delaware corporate law. Within 90 days following certification of the stockholder vote, the Board will make a final determination as to whether to accept the director’s resignation. The Board’s explanation of its decision would then be promptly disclosed in a Form 8-K report filed with the SEC.

Director Qualifications and Board Diversity

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines contain Board membership criteria that apply to nominees for a position on our Board. The Board has not adopted a formal diversity policy but pursuant to the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board seeks candidates of diverse background, education, skills, age and expertise with a proven record of accomplishment and the ability to work well with others. The Governance

12

Committee does not assign specific weight to any particular factor but in selecting members for open Board positions takes into account such factors as it deems appropriate, which may include the current composition of the Board, the range of talents, experiences and skills that would best complement those already represented on the Board and the need for financial or other specialized expertise. The Board seeks to achieve a mix of members whose experience and backgrounds are relevant to the Company’s strategic priorities and the scope and complexity of the Company’s business. Overall, each of our Board members is committed to the growth of the Company for the benefit of the stockholders, contributes new ideas in a productive and congenial manner and regularly attends board meetings.

The Governance Committee receives nominations from the stockholders and the Board and evaluates nominees against the standards, qualifications and diversity criteria set forth in the Company’s Corporate Governance Guidelines. The Governance Committee annually evaluates the criteria for the selection of new directors and recommends any proposed changes to the Board.

Candidates nominated for election or re-election to the Board should possess the following qualifications:

Information on each of our nominees and continuing directors is given below.

Roger T. Staubach, a Class I director, has notified the Company that he will not stand for re-election at the Annual Meeting. Pursuant to our Certificate of Incorporation, the Board may fill the vacancy created by Mr. Staubach’s resignation, and any director so chosen shall serve for the remainder of the term of the Class I directors until his/her successor has been elected and qualified, subject however, to such director’s death, resignation, retirement, disqualification or removal.

Our Board unanimously recommends that the stockholders vote “FOR” each of the above nominees.

Unless marked to the contrary, proxies received will be voted “FOR” the election of each of the Class I nominees.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

General

We are governed by our Board which, in turn, appoints executive officers to manage our business operations. The Board oversees our executive management on your behalf. The Board reviews our long-term strategic plans and exercises oversight over all major decisions, such as acquisitions, the declaration of dividends, major capital expenditures and the establishment of key Company policies.

Board Leadership Structure

We believe that a key factor in a company’s performance is a leadership structure that provides a balance between independent oversight by an engaged Board and day-to-day operations by management to implement the Board’s strategic vision. To achieve this balance, since December 2006, we have split the roles of the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer such that the Board is separated from the day-to-day operations of the Company. This structure has served us well. Lee Roy Mitchell, the founder of the Company, is currently the Chairman of the Board and Mr. Warner is the Chief Executive Officer. As the founder of the Company with more than 50 years of experience in the movie exhibition industry, Mr. Mitchell is uniquely positioned to lead the Board as well as to guide the Company’s management team in strategic planning. Mr. Mitchell is assisted by Board members, each of whom has extensive experience in sectors that are relevant to the Company’s business. The Board’s oversight function is enhanced by the Board’s Audit, Governance and Compensation Committees, each of which is comprised entirely of independent directors.

The day-to-day operations of the Company are managed by the executives under the direction of Mr. Warner, our Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Warner brings over 30 years of motion picture exhibition industry experience to the Chief Executive Officer position, including more than 17 years with the Company. Prior to becoming the Chief Executive Officer, in his roles as the President and Chief Operating Officer of the Company and President of Cinemark International, L.L.C., Mr. Warner has been critical in the growth of the Company’s domestic as well as international business. Mr. Warner’s extensive industry experience and relationships, coupled with proven management and operational skills, make him well-suited to direct the Company’s day-to-day management and implement the strategic vision of the Board.

In addition to the separation of the positions of the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer, the Board has a lead independent director, which role provides leadership and an organizational structure to the non- management directors. Our lead independent director is currently Mr. Donald Soderquist. The position of the lead independent director has significant authority and responsibilities under our Corporate Governance Guidelines, which are as follows:

Board’s Role in Risk Oversight

Responsibility for risk oversight rests with the Board. The Board has oversight responsibility of the processes established to identify, report and mitigate material risks applicable to the Company. The Board

20

approves management’s policies related to key risk areas and provides input to management regarding risk issues and the appropriateness of management’s response. The Board also approves actions surrounding our capital structure, dividend payments, material legal settlements, potential material acquisitions and approves our annual budget. While the Board considers risk in all its decisions, it also recognizes that appropriate and measured risk-taking may be required for the Company to retain its competitiveness and thus increase stockholder value.

The Board implements its risk oversight function both as a whole and through delegation to Board committees.

The Board has delegated its oversight responsibility with respect to financial and accounting risks to the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee periodically discusses with management the Company’s major financial risk exposures and the Company’s risk assessment and risk management policies. On a periodic basis throughout the year, management responsible for managing credit, liquidity, market and financial risks, provide the Audit Committee an update on key risks and the processes and systems of internal control to manage the risks. The Chair of the Audit Committee reports to the full Board regarding material risks as deemed appropriate.

The Compensation Committee reviews the executive compensation program to ensure that the design of the program does not encourage excessive risk-taking. It also reviews succession plans to ensure the Company has appropriate practices in place to support the retention and development of the talent necessary to achieve the Company’s business goals and objectives. See Compensation Risk Assessment section of the Compensation Discussion and Analysis (the “CD&A”) for more detail on how the Compensation Committee mitigates risk without diminishing the incentive nature of compensation.

During 2013, the Board established two new committees – the Strategic Long-Range Planning Committee and the New Ventures Committee – to further enhance the Board’s risk oversight function. The Strategic Long-Range Planning Committee provides oversight of the risks associated with strategic planning by assisting management in the analysis of alternative strategic options and reviewing with management the key industry and market issues and external developments impacting the Company. The New Ventures Committee provides guidance on business development initiatives and growth opportunities for the Company.

Director Independence

Our standards of director independence comply with the independence requirements of the NYSE. With the assistance of legal counsel to the Company, the Governance Committee has reviewed the NYSE standards for Board and committee member independence. On the basis of this review, the Board has affirmatively determined, in its business judgment, that (a) the majority of the Board is independent, (b) each of Messrs. Chereskin, Dombalagian, Ezersky, Rosenberg, Senior, Staubach, Sepulveda and Soderquist is independent, (c) Messers. Mitchell and Syufy are not independent due to their transactions with the Company exceeding $120,000 annually, (d) each of Messrs. Ezersky, Rosenberg and Sepulveda meets all applicable requirements of the SEC and NYSE for membership in the Audit Committee and (e) Mr. Sepulveda is an “audit committee financial expert” as such term is defined in Item 407(d)(5)(ii) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC and satisfies the NYSE’s financial experience requirements. The NYSE bright-line tests for independence are whether the director:

21

Meetings

The Board held six (6) meetings and took action by written consent on five (5) occasions during the 2013 fiscal year. All directors attended at least seventy-five percent (75%) of all meetings held by the Board and all meetings held by committees of the Board on which such director served.

All directors are strongly encouraged to attend the Annual Meeting, but we do not have a formal attendance requirement. Eight directors attended the 2013 Annual Meeting.

Executive Sessions

Pursuant to our Corporate Governance Guidelines and the rules of the NYSE, our non-management directors meet periodically in executive sessions with no Company employees present. The presiding director of the executive sessions is currently our lead independent director, Mr. Donald Soderquist. During 2013, our non-management directors met twice in executive sessions.

Stockholder Communications with the Board

Any Company stockholder or other interested party who wishes to communicate with the non-management directors as a group may direct such communications by writing to the:

Company Secretary

Cinemark Holdings, Inc.

3900 Dallas Parkway, Suite 500

Plano, TX 75093

The communication must be clearly addressed to the Board or to a specific director. If a response is desired, the individual should also provide contact information such as name, address and telephone number.

All such communications will be reviewed initially by the Company Secretary. The Company Secretary will forward to the appropriate director(s) all correspondence, except for items of the following nature:

The Company Secretary will prepare a periodic summary report of all such communications for the Board. Correspondence not forwarded to the Board will be retained by the Company and will be made available to any director upon request.

Corporate Governance Policies and Charters

The following documents make up our corporate governance framework:

22

Current copies of the above policies and guidelines are available publicly on the Company’s Web site at www.cinemark.com under the Investor Relations tab.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

The Company has also adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics, which applies to directors, executive officers and employees. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics sets forth the Company’s policies on critical issues such as conflicts of interest, insider trading, protection of our property, business opportunities and proprietary information. Prompt disclosure to stockholders will be made regarding any waiver of the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics for executive officers and directors that have been approved by our Board or any Board committee. The Code of Business Conduct and Ethics is available on our Web site at www.cinemark.com. We will post on our Web site any amendments or waivers to the Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

We have discussed with Deloitte the matters required to be discussed by the Statement on Auditing Standard No. 16, Communications with Audit Committees, and Related and Transitional Amendments to PCAOB Standards. We have received the written disclosures and the letter from Deloitte as required by the applicable requirements of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board regarding the independent accountant’s communications with the Audit Committee concerning independence and have discussed with Deloitte its independence. Based on the review and discussions referred to above, we recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements for the Company be included in the Company’s 2013 Form 10-K for filing with the SEC.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

In order to attract and retain qualified non-employee directors, the Company adopted a Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy in August 2007, pursuant to which non-employee directors are compensated for their service to the Company. In September 2013, upon recommendations of the Compensation Committee, the Board adopted the Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Compensation Policy (the “Amended Director Compensation Policy”). The purposes of the amendments were as follows:

Only those members of the Board who are non-employee directors are eligible to receive compensation under the Amended Director Compensation Policy. Non-employee directors include any member of the Board who is (i) neither our employee nor an employee of any of our subsidiaries, and (ii) not an employee of any of the Company’s stockholders with contractual rights to nominate directors.

Each non-employee director receives the following annual compensation for services as a Board member:

(c) annual grant of restricted stock valued at $100,000. All grants of restricted stock are made pursuant to the Amended and Restated Cinemark Holdings, Inc. 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Restated Incentive Plan”). The number of shares of restricted stock to be issued is determined by dividing $100,000 by the closing price of Common Stock on the day prior to the grant date, rounded down to the nearest whole share. Subject to continued service to the Company through the vest date, the initial award and each annual award generally vest on the first anniversary of the grant date. However, the Compensation Committee, as the administrator of the Restated Incentive Plan, may modify the vest schedule of an award.

Annual cash retainer is paid in four equal quarterly installments at the end of each quarter for services rendered during the quarter. All directors are reimbursed for expenses incurred for each Board meeting they attend.

Mr. Mitchell does not receive any compensation for his services as a director.

The following table sets forth summary information regarding the compensation of our directors for the 2013 fiscal year.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The CD&A describes our executive compensation philosophy and the components of our compensation program, including information about how the 2013 fiscal year compensation for the named executive officers meets our compensation goals and is aligned with the Company’s 2013 fiscal year performance. The CD&A helps readers better understand the information found in the Summary Compensation Table and other accompanying tables located in this section of the proxy statement.

In 2013, our named executive officers were the following:

In this proxy statement, all members of management, including the named executive officers, are referred to as “executive officers”.

Executive Summary

Compensation Philosophy

Our compensation philosophy is to attract, motivate, reward and retain high caliber talent by providing market competitive pay aligned with Company and individual performance.

We observe the following principles in the design of our executive compensation program to meet our objectives:

Through our performance we have established ourselves as one of the industry leaders. We believe hiring, motivating and retaining one of the best executive management teams in the industry has given us the leadership that is required to achieve high performance levels. Headed by the Chairman of the Board and the founder of the Company, Lee Roy Mitchell, our executive management team brings experience and industry knowledge that is

33

quite unique. Our named executive officers have made their careers in the movie-exhibition industry. Our management team has successfully navigated us through many industry and economic cycles. At Cinemark, we view our employees as an “investment” for the future. We invest in our employees for future opportunity to deliver more value to our stockholders and patrons.

Key Governance Features of Executive Compensation

There is no change-in-control provision in Mr. Mitchell’s employment agreement.

The Supplemental Insider Trading Policy also prohibits certain forms of hedging transactions, such as zero-cost collars and forward sale contracts. Such hedging does not expose the person hedging to the full risks of stock ownership.

The named executive officers and certain other persons also cannot hold Company securities in a margin account or pledge Company securities as collateral for a loan (unless the covered person can clearly demonstrate the financial capacity to repay the non-margin loan without resorting to the pledged securities).

Consideration of Say-on-Pay Voting Results

At the 2011 annual meeting, the Board recommended and the majority of the stockholders approved an annual ‘Say-on-Pay’ vote. Therefore, we have held annual ‘Say-on-Pay’ votes and our executive compensation program has consistently received strong support of our stockholders. At the 2013 Annual Meeting, our executive compensation program garnered the support of approximately 94% of the stockholders who voted either in person or via proxy at the 2013 Annual Meeting. Given the strong stockholder support of our executive compensation program, the Compensation Committee did not make any changes to the design of our executive compensation program for the 2013 fiscal year.

Company Performance Highlights in 2013

Our Company accomplished a great deal in 2013, illustrating the depth, talent and dedication of our team led by our executive officers. During the 2013 fiscal year Cinemark’s worldwide attendance set a new all-time high of 276.6 million patrons, an increase of 4.9% from 2012. We leveraged the attendance increase while simultaneously managing costs resulting in an all-time high Adjusted EBITDA of $625.3 million⁴. Our full-year box office growth of 8.0% over-indexed the estimated North American industry by 700 basis points.

⁴ Reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures are provided in footnote 22 on page F-39 of the 2013 Form 10-K.

34

Some of the key indicators of the Company’s financial health and performance over the one- year, three- year and five- year fiscal periods are as follows:

Revenue:

The Company’s revenues for the year ended December 31, 2013 increased approximately 8.5% to $2,682.9 million from $2,473.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2012, approximately 17.7% from $2,279.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 and approximately 35.7% from $1,976.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Net Income:

Net income attributable to Cinemark Holdings, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $148.5 million, which included a pre-tax loss on early retirement of debt of $72.3 million, compared to $168.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2012. Net income attributable to Cinemark Holdings, Inc. increased by approximately 13.7% to $148.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $130.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 and by approximately 52.9% from $97.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.

35

Earnings Per Share:

Diluted earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $1.28 compared to $1.47 for the year ended December 31, 2012 due to a pre-tax loss on early retirement of debt of $72.3 million. Diluted earnings per share increased by approximately 12.3% from $1.14 for the year ended December 31, 2011 and by approximately 47.1% from $0.87 for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

Cash and cash equivalents of the Company as of December 31, 2013 was $599.9 million compared to $742.7 million as of December 31, 2012. The decrease in cash in the 2013 fiscal year primarily resulted from the acquisition of the ‘Rave’ and ‘Signature’ branded theatres for approximately $236.9 million and $22.4 million respectively, partially offset by the proceeds of the sale of our Mexican operations for approximately $126.2 million. Over the three- year and five- year periods, cash and cash equivalents of the Company increased by approximately 15.1% to $599.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $521.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 and by approximately 37% from $437.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.

36

Overall, during the 2013 fiscal year, the Company continued its accretive and organic growth and increasing stockholder value. Some of the highlights of the Company’s growth during the 2013 fiscal year are as follows:

Performance Graph

The Company’s financial performance relative to its peers has been very strong over the past five years. The Company’s TSR (with dividends reinvested) for the one- year, cumulative three- year and cumulative five- year period are at 31.8%, 109.6% and 405.8% respectively.

We compare our financial performance against our direct competitors in the movie exhibition industry (referred to as the “performance peer group”). Our performance peer group includes the three publicly-held companies (from 2009 through December 31, 2013) in our industry, namely, Regal Entertainment Group (RGC), Carmike (CKEC) and IMAX Corporation (IMAX). While AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (AMC) is currently a publicly-held company, its data was not available for the period 2009 to 2013 since it became public in December 2013. Hence, AMC was not included in the performance peer group. We believe that this peer group is an appropriate benchmark for evaluating our fiscal performance since we directly compete with these companies for business and investor capital. The Company’s cumulative total return between 2009 and 2013 as compared to the performance peer group and S&P 500 is presented below.

Compensation Highlights for 2013 for the Named Executive Officers

The highlights of the compensation of the named executive officers for 2013 are as follows:

Annual Base Salary:

See Summary Compensation Table for 2013 on page 48 for further detail regarding annual base salaries of the named executive officers.

Annual Cash Incentive Bonus:

The Adjusted EBITDA achieved by the Company in 2013 was $625.3 million⁵. Consequently, the named executive officers and the participants to the Bonus Plan received the annual cash incentive bonus for 2013 at the maximum level, which is 133.33% of their respective target annual cash incentive bonus opportunity.

See Summary Compensation Table for 2013 on page 48 and Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2013 on page 51 for further detail regarding the annual cash incentive bonus granted to the named executive officers for the 2013 fiscal year.

Equity Awards:

The Restated Incentive Plan provides for the award of both time-based and performance-based equity grants. The Compensation Committee has determined that time-based equity awards is an appropriate vehicle for retention of executive management and rewarding performance over the short-term while performance-based equity awards provide a strong link to motivation for sustained performance. As discussed in greater detail in the section Design of the Executive Compensation Program – Equity Incentive Compensation, every year the Compensation Committee makes a determination of the appropriate mix of time-based and performance-based compensation elements in light of the strategic plans and goals for the current and forthcoming years to balance the objectives of our executive compensation program.

In 2013, the time-based and performance-based awards were granted as a 50/50 mix at the target level with the value of the potential maximum level of performance-based equity grant at 150% of the value of the time-based equity grant. This distribution of equity grants is consistent with our compensation philosophy to motivate our executive officers to increase stockholder value over the term long term while still providing incentive for continuity and short-term performance.

The following table provides the grant date fair values of the target level of restricted stock and maximum level of performance-based awards (in the form of restricted stock units) made to each of the named executive officers on March 29, 2013 (the “2013 Grant”).

The time-based restricted stock granted to Messers. Copple, Fernandes and Cavalier shall vest, subject to continued employment through the vest dates, 50% in March 2015 and the remaining 50% in March 2017. The restricted stock granted to Mr. Warner shall vest equally over the term of three years from March 2014 to March 2016.

The payout of the performance awards (in the form of restricted stock units) is subject to the achievement by the Company of an IRR set by the Compensation Committee for the three-year performance period from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2015 and continued employment until March 2017. However, Mr. Warner does not have to fulfill the additional service requirement if his employment agreement expires on April 1, 2016.

See Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2013 table on page 51 for further detail regarding the equity awards granted to the named executive officers in 2013.

Similar to previous years, no equity award was granted to Mr. Mitchell as the Compensation Committee determined that Mr. Mitchell has substantial equity stake in the Company, which, as of the Record Date, is approximately 5% (excluding The Mitchell Special Trust).

The Process of Setting Executive Compensation

How Do We Set Executive Compensation?

Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is responsible for:

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 of the named executive officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer) and the other executive officers, the Compensation Committee may consider the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer and input received from the compensation consultants.

39

The Compensation Committee determines the level of annual cash incentive bonus and equity incentive compensation during the first quarter of a fiscal year.

If deemed appropriate, the Compensation Committee advises the Board of its determination of the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and certain other executive officers prior to its implementation. While the Compensation Committee may consider input provided by the Board, the decisions regarding annual cash incentive bonus and equity incentive compensation are made solely by the Compensation Committee.

Compensation Consultant. The Compensation Committee has the sole authority under the Compensation Committee Charter, to the extent it deems appropriate, to retain one or more consultants. The Compensation Committee also has the right to receive information it deems pertinent from management, employees, outside counsel and other advisers. None of our executive officers are involved in the Compensation Committee’s determination of their own compensation. Typically, the compensation consultant makes recommendations regarding the design of the Company’s executive compensation program and individual compensation levels of the named executive officers. Such recommendations are based on market analyses data, peer company compensation data and other published sources.

From 2007 to 2013, the Compensation Committee has authorized Company management to engage Longnecker & Associates (“L&A”) as the outside compensation consultant.

In 2013, the Compensation Committee adopted enhanced independence standards for outside consultants that mirror the NYSE listing standards which establishes an assessment framework to confirm and report on a consultant’s independence. In light of the new NYSE listing standards, the Compensation Committee evaluated the independence of L&A. In connection with this process, the Compensation Committee has reviewed, among other items, a questionnaire executed by L&A addressing its independence and that of the members of the consulting team, including the following factors: (i) other services provided to the Company by L&A, (ii) fees paid by the Company as a percentage of L&A’s total revenue, (iii) policies or procedures of L&A that are designed to prevent conflicts of interest, (iv) any business or personal relationships between any of the members of the consulting team and a member of the Compensation Committee or any of the Company’s executive officers, and (v) any Company stock owned by any of the members of the consulting team or any immediate family member. Based upon this review, the Compensation Committee concluded that the work performed by L&A and the members of the consulting team involved in the engagement did not raise any conflict of interest.

In November 2013, the Compensation Committee engaged Pay Governance LLC (“Pay Governance”) as the executive compensation consultant. The Compensation Committee reviewed the nature of its relationship with respect to the independence of Pay Governance using the same questionnaire and factors described above and concluded that the engagement of Pay Governance did not raise any conflict of interest. In November 2013 Pay Governance advised the Compensation Committee regarding Mr. Warner’s Second Amended Agreement and Mr. Copple’s Amended and Restated Employment Agreement effective January 21, 2014 (the “Restated Employment Agreement”), and market competitive pay levels for other named executive officers for the 2014 fiscal year.

Role of the Chief Executive Officer. In making compensation decisions for executive officers, the Compensation Committee solicits the views of our Chief Executive Officer and the compensation consultant. The Chief Executive Officer is not present during Compensation Committee meetings and does not make recommendations to the Compensation Committee about his own compensation.

Design of the Executive Compensation Program

The design of our executive compensation is simple and is consistent with the compensation structure in our industry:

40

Annual base salary is the only fixed component of the summary compensation of an executive as its value is not subject to Company performance or fluctuation in the price of our Common Stock. Annual cash incentive bonus and equity awards are the variable components of compensation. We believe the distribution between fixed and variable components offers a competitive compensation program while appropriately mitigating risk.

Base Salary

The annual base salary represents minimum payment for a satisfactory level of individual performance for the duration of employment with the Company. The Compensation Committee seeks to keep annual base salary competitive to help attract and retain qualified executives. Annual base salaries for the executive officers are determined by the Compensation Committee based on a variety of factors including:

However, the Compensation Committee has not adopted any formula with specific weightings assigned to any of the factors above.

As of December 31, 2013, the Company had employment agreements with certain executive officers – Messers. Mitchell, Warner, Copple, Cavalier, Fernandes, Bunnell and Carmony. Under the employment agreements, the annual base salaries are subject to annual review by the Compensation Committee and can be increased but not decreased.

Annual Cash Incentive Bonus

At the 2013 Annual Meeting, the stockholders re-approved the Cinemark Holdings, Inc. Performance Bonus Plan (the “Bonus Plan”) pursuant to which the Company pays a performance-based annual cash incentive bonus. In setting total compensation, the Compensation Committee considers an annual cash incentive bonus to be an important tool in motivating and rewarding performance over the short-term. The objective of the Bonus Plan is to make annual cash incentive bonus payouts to participants to the Bonus Plan based on the achievement by the Company of pre-established performance metrics during the fiscal year. However, while the annual cash incentive bonus provides an additional compensation opportunity it also subjects the Bonus Plan participant to the financial risks of the Company. Consequently, annual cash incentive bonus percentages are commensurate with the participant’s position and potential impact on the Company’s performance. As such, the named executive officers and certain other executive officers have a higher target annual cash incentive bonus opportunity as compared to other participants. The Compensation Committee has determined that the positions of

41

the Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer have the greatest management and oversight responsibilities in directing the Company’s growth. Consequently, the Compensation Committee deems it appropriate to incentivize the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer by apportioning a higher percentage of their annual base salary as the target annual cash incentive bonus opportunity as compared to the other named executive officers.

The following steps are performed annually for the Bonus Plan:

(1) Setting a Target Cash Bonus. During the first quarter of the fiscal year, the Compensation Committee approves the range of potential payouts as percentage of target (33%, 100% and 133%), at a threshold, target and maximum level of annual cash incentive bonus for the participants to the Bonus Plan. The target annual cash incentive bonus amount is generally set at a percentage of the participant’s annual base salary although the Compensation Committee may take into account other factors deemed relevant, such as the individual’s performance and contributions outside of the quantitative targets and recommendations from the Chief Executive Officer (except for target annual cash incentive bonus amounts for himself).

Each participant under the Bonus Plan is entitled to receive a ratable portion of his target annual cash incentive bonus based upon the Company’s level of achievement of the performance metric. The actual amount of annual cash incentive bonuses paid, if any, may result in an annual cash incentive 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.

Under the Bonus Plan, the maximum annual cash incentive bonus amount of a named executive officer is capped at the lesser of 200% of such named executive officer’s annual base salary or $3 million.

(2) Setting the Performance Target. During the first quarter of each fiscal year, the Compensation Committee establishes the performance target of the Company for the year. The performance target may include factors, 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 (“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 certifies whether the applicable performance factors were attained. In reaching its conclusions, the Compensation Committee will make, if needed, certain adjustments as specified in the Bonus Plan. Such adjustments include, but are not limited to, factors such as changes in accounting principles and 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). The Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, at any time establish (and, once established, rescind, waive or amend) additional conditions and terms of payment of the annual cash incentive bonus (including but not limited to the achievement of other financial, strategic or individual goals, which may be objective or subjective) as it may deem desirable in carrying out the purposes of the Bonus Plan and may take into account such other factors as it deems appropriate in administering any aspect of the Bonus Plan, including to reduce the amount of the annual cash incentive bonus at any time prior to payment based on such criteria as it shall determine, including but not limited to individual merit and the attainment of specified levels of one or any combination of the performance factors. However, the Compensation Committee cannot adjust upwards the cash incentive compensation payable to a named executive officer or waive the achievement of a performance target requirement for a named executive officer except in the case of the death or disability of the executive or a change-in-control of the Company.

42

Equity Incentive Compensation

At the 2013 Annual Meeting, the stockholders re-approved the Restated Incentive Plan pursuant to which the Compensation Committee annually awards time-based and performance-based equity compensation. Time-based equity compensation enables us to attract and retain highly qualified executive officers as leaders to ensure our continued success. Long-term performance-based equity compensation encourages Company’s long-term growth and aligns the executive’s interests with the interests of our stockholders.

Pursuant to the Restated Incentive Plan, restricted stock and performance awards (in the form of restricted stock units) have been granted annually to eligible employees, including the named executive officers. Typically, grants to all eligible employees, including the named executive officers, are made on the same day (within the first 90 days of the fiscal quarter).

No stock options have been granted by the Company since 2004. The Compensation Committee has concluded that restricted stock and performance awards are a superior vehicle of incentive compensation than stock options by allowing our executives to benefit from our dividend policy.

The Compensation Committee determines the split between time-based and performance-based awards based upon various factors such as Company’s performance with respect to its industry competitors, leadership and contribution of individual executive officers and the nature of the economic environment. Generally, the value of the target level of performance-based awards is close to the value of the time-based restricted stock award with the maximum potential of the performance-based awards at 150% of the value of the time-based restricted stock award. In certain years the Compensation Committee has adjusted the percentage split of the performance-based and time-based equity awards to appropriately incentivize and motivate the executive officers in response to Company performance and targeted goals.

Restricted Stock. Generally, restricted stock is awarded to eligible employees annually as a retention incentive. Periodic awards of restricted stock can also be made at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and such periodic awards have been made in certain limited instances to attract executive talent. Grants of restricted stock are generally based upon a percentage of the eligible employee’s annual base salary. However, such grants could be subject to some adjustment based on the individual employee’s performance during the previous fiscal year. All participants to the Restated Incentive Plan are eligible to receive restricted stock. Restricted stock granted under the Restated Incentive Plan typically vests 50% on each of the second and fourth anniversaries of the grant date subject to continuous employment through the vest dates. The restricted stock granted to Mr. Warner since 2012 vests in equal amounts over a three-year vest period. Restricted stock awards granted to Mr. Warner in years prior to 2012 remain subject to the four year vesting similar to that of other executive officers.

Recipients of restricted stock awards are permitted to:

(i) receive dividends on the restricted stock to the extent dividends are paid by the Company on shares of its Common Stock, and

(ii) to vote such Common Stock during the restriction period.

Performance Awards. Performance awards entitle recipients to vest in or acquire shares of Common Stock upon the attainment of specified performance goals over the performance period established by the Compensation Committee. Only the named executive officers and certain executive officers who have a significant impact on the Company’s long-term performance are eligible to receive performance awards.

Performance awards can be granted in the form of restricted stock or restricted stock units. The performance goals are 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 issued (if performance award is in the form of restricted stock unit) or shall vest (if performance award is in the form of restricted stock) if the performance goal is attained. During the first quarter of a fiscal year, the Compensation Committee approves the performance goal for the year. Common Stock received upon attainment of the performance goals under a restricted stock unit award may be subject to additional time-based

vesting conditions. Any dividends that are attributable to the underlying Common Stock relating to a restricted stock unit based performance award will be paid to the recipient when the established vesting conditions are satisfied.

Since 2008, the performance goal has been based on an implied equity value concept that determines an internal rate of return (“IRR”) during a three fiscal year performance period. The implied equity value is based on a valuation formula utilizing a multiple of Adjusted EBITDA (subject to certain specified adjustments) and other factors. Each performance target underlying the performance awards has a threshold, target and maximum level of payment opportunity and vest on a pro rata basis according to the IRR achieved during the performance period, with the maximum payment opportunity equal to 150% of the individual’s target opportunity. The targets for the current fiscal year are established in writing by the Compensation Committee in the first quarter of the fiscal year. The number of shares of Common Stock an executive may receive upon the attainment of a performance goal cannot be determined at the date of grant because the payment of such compensation is contingent upon attainment of the IRR and is further subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee. If at the end of the performance period the Compensation Committee determines that the performance target has been met, the shares of Common Stock subject to each performance award shall be further subject to a one year time-based vesting restriction contingent upon the employee’s continued service.

The following table sets forth the various IRR percentages and the number of corresponding performance shares that can be earned by each eligible participant:

Payout is prorated for performance between threshold and target and between target and maximum. If the IRR for the three-year period is at least 8.5%, which is the threshold, at least 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, at least 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, at least 100% of the restricted stock units vest. Further, as an example, if the Company achieves an IRR equal to 11.5%, the number of restricted stock units that shall vest will be greater than the target but less than the maximum number that would have vested had the Company achieved the highest IRR.

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 cash compensation, provided no employee’s elective contribution shall exceed the amount permitted under Section 402(g) of the Code ($17,500 for 2013, $17,000 for 2012 and $16,500 for 2011). In 2013, participants over the age of 50 could contribute an additional $5,500.

We may make an annual discretionary matching contribution up to a maximum of 6% of the employee’s annual cash compensation to the 401(k) Plan, subject to the limits specified by Section 402(g) of the Code. In 2013, our annual discretionary matching contribution was 100% up to 3% and 75% for the remaining 3% of the employee’s contribution. Our discretionary matching contributions immediately vest.

Mix of Compensation Elements

The mix of fixed and performance-based components of the 2013 summary compensation of each of the named executive officers for 2013 were as follows:

Below is a graphical presentation of the components of the summary compensation for the 2013 fiscal year for each named executive officer.

⁶ As in previous years, there was no equity compensation granted to Mr. Mitchell because of his substantial equity ownership in the Company of approximately 5% (excluding The Mitchell Special Trust), as of the Record Date.

Competitive Positioning

We compete with a peer group of companies (referred here as the “compensation peer group”) for executive level talent. To attract, retain and motivate the highest caliber executive management who are critical to our long-term success, the Compensation Committee believes their compensation should be aligned to similarly situated executives within our compensation peer group. To determine the competitiveness of our compensation, the Compensation Committee annually reviews our compensation peer group data provided by our compensation consultant. Typically, L&A has provided compensation data for the 25^th, 50^th and 75^th percentiles for each component of compensation and total compensation for individual named executive officers. The Compensation Committee uses the data for information purposes and does not target a specific percentile of compensation for any named executive officer.

For purposes of executive compensation for the 2013 fiscal year, the selection criteria of the peer group was a combination of various factors such as revenue levels, total assets, market capitalization, business models that are particularly relevant to Cinemark’s growth in the past five years and its continued strategic expansion in the international markets, which is considered in the industry to be an increasingly important component of the overall box office revenues. Based upon that assessment the following companies within the leisure, hospitality and entertainment services industry comprised our compensation peer group:

L&A compiled compensation data for the compensation peer group from a variety of sources, including proxy statements for 2012, public filings and other published survey sources.

Tax Considerations

The Compensation Committee considers the tax impact to the Company when making executive compensation decisions and has a practice of delivering compensation in a tax-efficient manner whenever reasonable. However, the priority of the Compensation Committee is to provide competitive compensation that would serve the objectives of retention, reward and motivation in the best possible mix of the various compensation components in a particular year. Therefore, in certain years some compensation paid to the named executive officers may not be deductible by the Company due to the limitations of Section 162(m) of the Code.

Section 162(m) provides that the amount of compensation that we may deduct each year for our “covered employees”- the Chief Executive Officer and each of the three most highly paid officers (other than our Chief Financial Officer)- is $1 million. Elements of compensation that qualify as “performance-based compensation” are deductible even if in excess of this $1 million limit.

In structuring the compensation programs that apply to the covered employees, we considered the requirements and consequences of Section 162(m) of the Code. We designed several elements of our overall compensation program in the form of performance-based compensation. The performance awards are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation and shall therefore be fully tax deductible. Similarly, annual cash incentive bonuses paid pursuant to the Bonus Plan are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation.

In addition to annual cash incentive bonuses and performance awards, the Company has also granted, and may continue to grant, time-based restricted stock awards to covered employees that are not intended to be performance-based compensation and will count against the $1 million compensation deduction limit. In 2013, only Mr. Warner recognized compensation in excess of $1 million upon vesting of the restricted stock granted in three previous years - 2009, 2011 and 2012- that was not performance-based and, in part, is not deductible by the Company under Section 162(m) of the Code.

46

While the Compensation Committee has taken into account the potential application of Section 162(m) of the Code on compensation decisions and the Company generally seeks to ensure the deductibility of the incentive compensation paid to the covered employees, the Compensation Committee intends to retain the flexibility necessary to continue the competitive pay practices of the Company. Therefore, not all incentive compensation awards may be fully deductible by the Company. In addition, there may be ambiguities regarding how the conditions to qualify as “performance-based” compensation will be interpreted and administered under the income tax regulations, so that amounts that the Company intends or expects to qualify as deductible may not so qualify. Accordingly, there is no certainty that all elements of compensation discussed in this proxy statement will in fact be deductible.

Compensation Risk Assessment

The Compensation Committee reviews, approves and certifies the design, goals and payouts under the Bonus Plan and the Restated Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee monitors whether the Company’s compensation programs for executives and employees encourage unnecessary or excessive risk taking. Upon such consideration the Compensation Committee has concluded that the Company’s compensation programs do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. Below are some of the highlights of the Company’s compensation program which mitigate risks associated with compensation:

Compensation Committee Report

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the CD&A required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management and, based on such review and discussion, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board that the CD&A be included in this proxy statement and incorporated by reference in the Company’s 2013 Form 10-K and the Board has approved the recommendation.

Summary Compensation Table for 2013

The following table sets forth summary information concerning the total compensation earned by our named executive officers for each of the last three completed fiscal years. Mr. Cavalier was not a named executive officer in 2011 and hence his compensation for 2011 has been omitted pursuant to the rules of the SEC.

The grant date fair values were calculated based upon the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on March 28, 2013 of $29.44, March 8, 2012 of $21.63 and March 31, 2011 of $19.35 per share. Pursuant to the rules of the SEC, the target level of payment was assumed as the most probable outcome for the performance awards.

48

The table below provides the grant date fair values of the performance awards (in the form of restricted stock units) at the maximum level of payment at the grant dates in 2013, 2012 and 2011:

On February 26, 2014, the Compensation Committee certified the level of IRR achieved by the Company for the three-year performance period from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2013. Accordingly, the performance awards (in the form of restricted stock units) that were granted to Messers. Warner, Copple, Fernandes and Cavalier on March 31, 2011 (the “2011 Grant”), shall vest at the maximum amounts subject to continuous employment of the named executive officer until March 31, 2015. The terms of the restricted stock and performance awards are discussed in more detail under Compensation Discussion and Analysis and the footnote disclosures to the Grants of Plan-Based Awards in 2013 table.
