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

(d) Effective May 25, 2017, the board of directors (the “Board”) of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”, “we” or “our”) elected Ms. Nancy S. Loewe to the Board.

Ms. Loewe was elected to be a Class I director to fill the board seat formerly held by Mr. Don Soderquist. The Board has also named Ms. Loewe to serve on the Audit Committee.

As a non-employee director, Ms. Loewe shall be compensated according to our Third Amended and Restated Director Compensation Policy (the “Director Compensation Policy”) for non-employee directors. Pursuant to the Director Compensation Policy, Ms. Loewe will receive a base retainer fee of $60,000, an additional retainer of $10,000 for serving as a member of the Audit Committee, and an annual grant of restricted shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 (“Common Stock”) valued at $115,000. The number of restricted shares to be issued is determined by dividing $115,000 by the fair market value of a share of Common Stock on the grant date, rounded down to the nearest whole share. The initial award and each annual award generally vest on the first anniversary of the date of the grant, subject to continued service to the Company through the vesting dates.

We issued a press release on May 25, 2017, announcing the election of Ms. Loewe to the Board. A copy of the press release is furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8K.

(e) Effective May 25, 2017, the 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) was approved by the stockholders of the Company. The Omnibus Plan replaces the Amended and Restated Cinemark Holdings, Inc. 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Incentive Plan”), and the Cinemark Holdings, Inc. Performance Bonus Plan, as amended, both of which have been terminated effective May 25, 2017. The Omnibus Plan permits the Board to award both equity and cash bonus incentives to employees, directors and consultants of the Company and its affiliates.

The foregoing description does not constitute a complete summary of the Omnibus Plan and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the Omnibus Plan attached as Appendix A to the Company’s definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on April 7, 2017.
