EXPLANATORY NOTE

Pursuant to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (File No. 333-153273) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on August 29, 2008 (the “Registration Statement”), Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (the “Registrant”) registered 10,022,630 shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), for issuance under the Amended and Restated Cinemark Holdings, Inc. 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Restated Plan”).

Effective May 25, 2017 (the “Approval Date”), the stockholders approved the Registrant’s 2017 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Omnibus Plan”) and the Restated Plan was terminated. Pursuant to the terms of the Omnibus Plan, the maximum aggregate number of shares of our Common Stock that may be issued under the Omnibus Plan shall be (i) 1,500,000 newly available shares of Common Stock (the “New Shares”), (ii) 6,513,551 shares remaining available for issuance under the Restated Plan as of the Approval Date, and up to (iii) 1,284,086 shares that are subject to outstanding awards granted under the Restated Plan as of the Approval Date, to the extent that such awards are forfeited, canceled, expire unexercised or are settled in cash. No further awards will be granted under the Restated Plan on or after the date of the stockholders’ approval of the Omnibus Plan. Unissued shares of Common Stock reacquired under the forfeiture terms of any award will also revert to the Omnibus Plan and again be available for awards under the Omnibus Plan. All shares of Common Stock under the Restated Plan that will be available for issuance under the Omnibus Plan are heretofore referred to as the “Carryover Shares”.

Pursuant to the undertaking in Item 512(a)(1)(iii) of Regulation S-K that the Registrant disclose a material change in the plan of distribution as it was originally disclosed in the Registration Statement, the Registrant is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration Statement (the “Post-Effective Amendment”) to reflect that, as of the Approval Date, the Carryover Shares registered under the Registration Statement will no longer be issued under the Restated Plan and may instead be issued under the Omnibus Plan.

Contemporaneously with the filing of this Post-Effective Amendment, the Registrant is filing a registration statement on Form S-8 to register the New Shares that have become available for offer or sale pursuant to the Omnibus Plan.

PART I

Such documents need not be filed with the SEC either as part of this Registration Statement or as a prospectus or prospectus supplement pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act. These documents and the documents incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement pursuant to Item 3, Part II of this Registration Statement, taken together, constitute a prospectus that meets the requirement of Section 10(a) of the Securities Act.

Any statement contained in a document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference herein shall be deemed to be modified or superseded for purposes of this Registration Statement to the extent that a statement contained herein or in any subsequently filed document that also is or is deemed to be incorporated by reference herein, as the case may be, modifies or supersedes such statement.

Item 4. Description of Securities

Not Applicable

Item 5. Interest of Named Experts and Counsel

Not Applicable

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law permits a corporation, under specified circumstances, to indemnify its directors, officers, employees or agents against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlements actually and reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit or proceeding brought by third parties by reason of the fact that they were or are directors, officers, employees or agents of the corporation, if such directors, officers, employees or agents acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reason to believe their conduct was unlawful. In a derivative action, i.e., one by or in the right of the corporation, indemnification may be made only for expenses actually and reasonably incurred by directors. officers, employees or agents in connection with the defense or settlement of an action or suit, and only with respect to a matter as to which they shall have acted in good faith and in a manner they reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification shall be made if such person shall have been adjudged liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court in which the action or suit was brought shall determine upon application that the defendant directors, officers, employees or agents are fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for such expenses despite such adjudication of liability.

Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law provides that a certificate of incorporation may contain a provision eliminating or limiting the personal liability of a director to the corporation or its stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director provided that such provision shall not eliminate or limit the liability of a director:

 

  (1) for any breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to the corporation or its stockholders;

 

  (2) for acts or omissions not in good faith or which involve intentional misconduct or a knowing violation of law;

 

  (3) under Section 174 (relating to liability for unauthorized acquisitions or redemptions of, or dividends on, capital stock) of the Delaware General Corporation Law; or

 

  (4) for any transaction from which the director derived an improper personal benefit.

Section 145 of the Delaware General Corporation Law further authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against any liability asserted against and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation provides that we may, to the fullest extent permitted by Delaware General Corporation Law, indemnify all persons whom it may indemnify under Delaware law and contains provisions permitted by Section 102(b)(7) of the Delaware General Corporation Law.

Our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws provide that:

 

    we are required to indemnify our directors and officers, subject to very limited exceptions;

 

    we may indemnify other employees and agents, subject to very limited exceptions;

 

3


    we are required to advance expenses, as incurred, to our directors and officers in connection with a legal proceeding, subject to very limited exceptions; and

 

    we may advance expenses, as incurred, to our employees and agents in connection with a legal proceeding.

The indemnification provisions in our amended and restated certificate of incorporation and amended and restated bylaws may be sufficiently broad to permit indemnification of our directors and officers for liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

We have obtained an insurance policy providing for indemnification of officers and directors and certain other persons against liabilities and expenses incurred by any of them in certain stated proceedings and conditions.

Item 7. Exemption from Registration Claimed.

Not Applicable

Item 8. Exhibits.

See Index to Exhibits, attached hereto.

Item 9. Undertakings.

(a) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes:

(1) To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this Registration Statement:

(i) To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act.

(ii) To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of this Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in this Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20% change in the maximum aggregate offering price set for the in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in this Registration Statement; and

(iii) To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in this Registration Statement or any material change to such information in this Registration Statement; provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) do not apply if the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in periodic reports filed by the Registrant pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement.

(2) That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3) To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

(b) The undersigned Registrant hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the Registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in this Registration Statement shall be deemed a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c) Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the SEC such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
