Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

(d) On June 4, 2015, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”, “we” or “our”) elected Mr. Mark Zoradi to the Board.

Mr. Zoradi was elected to be a Class II director to fill the vacancy created by the departure of Mr. Peter Ezersky.

The Board has named Mr. Zoradi as a member of the Audit Committee and the New Ventures Committee of the Board.

As a non-employee director, Mr. Zoradi shall be compensated according to our compensation policy for non-employee directors. Pursuant to that policy he will receive a base retainer of $60,000, additional retainers of $10,000 and $5,000 for serving as a member of the Audit Committee and the New Ventures Committee respectively, and an annual grant of restricted shares of the Company’s common stock valued at $110,000. The number of restricted shares to be issued is determined by dividing $110,000 by the fair market value of a share of common stock on the grant date (June 15), rounded down to the nearest whole share. The initial award and each annual award generally vest on the first anniversary of the grant date, subject to continued service to the Company through the vesting dates.

We issued a press release dated June 4, 2015, announcing the appointment of Mr. Zoradi to the Board. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8K.
