statements are based on beliefs and assumptions of management, which in turn are based on currently available information. The forward-looking
statements also involve risks and uncertainties, which could cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking
statement. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from
those contained in any forward-looking statement include, but are not limited to:
 The inability to consummate the transactions described in this presentation on terms favorable to us;
 The inability to satisfy any conditions to closing or to complete any related financing in connection with the transactions described in this
presentation;
 Our ability to comply with covenants contained in our senior secured credit agreement;
 Our ability to operate at expected levels of cash flow;
 Our ability to meet our contractual obligations, including all outstanding financing commitments;
 Financial market conditions including, but not limited to, changes in interest rates and the availability and cost of capital;
 The availability of suitable motion pictures for exhibition in our markets;
 Competition in our markets;
 Competition with other forms of entertainment;
 The effect of our leverage on our financial condition; and
 Other factors, including the risk factors disclosed in our annual report on form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011 and our quarterly reports
on form 10-Q under the caption “risk factors.”
We believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable; however, undue reliance should not be placed on any forward-looking statements, which
are based on current expectations. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to
update publicly any of these in light of new information or future events.
