EXPLANATORY NOTE.

 

This Amendment No. 2 (“Amendment No. 2”) to the Schedule 13D filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on May 23, 2008 (the “2008 Schedule 13D”) and amended by Amendment No. 1 thereto filed with the SEC on March 20, 2009 (“Amendment No. 1”) by Regal Entertainment Group (“Regal”), Anschutz Company (“Anschutz Co.”) and Philip F. Anschutz (“Mr. Anschutz,” and with each of Regal, Anschutz Co., and Mr. Anschutz being referred to herein as a “Reporting Person,” and collectively, the “Reporting Persons”) with respect to the common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”) of National CineMedia, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“National CineMedia”) is being filed by the Reporting Persons pursuant to Rule 13d-1(k) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the joint filing agreement filed as Exhibit C to the 2008 Schedule 13D, to report additional information under Item 5(a).  Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have their respective meanings under the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement dated February 13, 2007, by and among the National CineMedia, National CineMedia, LLC, Regal CineMedia Holdings, LLC (“Regal CineMedia”), American Multi-Cinema, Inc., Cinemark Media, Inc., Regal Cinemas, Inc. and Cinemark USA, Inc., as described in Item 3 to the 2008 Schedule 13D and incorporated by reference to Exhibit A thereto or the 2008 Schedule 13D, as applicable.

 

Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer.

 

Item 5 is hereby amended to replace Item 5(a) with the following:

 

(a)           Including the 522,430 NCM Units that Regal’s wholly owned subsidiary, Regal CineMedia, obtained on March 17, 2009, Regal currently may be deemed to beneficially own 25,425,689 shares of Common Stock through Regal CineMedia’s ownership of 25,425,689 NCM Units.  NCM Units are immediately redeemable on a one-to-one basis for shares of Common Stock, or a cash payment equal to the market price of one share of Common Stock.  Regal’s beneficial ownership of 25,425,689 shares of Common Stock equals approximately 37.6% of the Issuer’s issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on an as-converted basis.

 

Regal CineMedia is a wholly owned subsidiary of Regal CineMedia Corporation (“RCM”).  RCM is a wholly owned subsidiary of Regal Cinemas Inc. (“RCI”).  RCI is a wholly owned subsidiary of Regal Cinemas Corporation (“RCC”).  RCC is a wholly owned subsidiary of Regal Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (“REH”).  REH is a wholly owned subsidiary of Regal.  As a result, each of them may be deemed to share the power to vote and dispose of the Shares of Common Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by Regal.

 

Anschutz Company beneficially owns 73,708,639 shares of Class A Common Stock (“Class A Common Stock”) of Regal through its ownership of 23,708,639 shares of Class B Common Stock of Regal, which are convertible into a like number of shares of Class A Common Stock and 50,000,000 shares of Class A Common Stock.  Such ownership represents approximately 78.2% of the voting power of Regal.  Therefore, Anschutz Company may be deemed to control Regal.  Philip F. Anschutz owns 100% of the outstanding capital stock of Anschutz Company.  Therefore, Mr. Anschutz may be deemed to control Anschutz Company.  As a result, each of them may be deemed to share the power to vote and dispose of the shares of Common Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by Regal.

 

None of the executive officers or directors of Regal or Anschutz Company, who are listed in Schedule A hereto, owns any shares of Common Stock, except as follows: Amy E. Miles, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of Regal Entertainment Group, jointly with her husband owns 5,000 shares of Common Stock and each has shared voting and dispositive power with respect thereto.  Mr. and Mrs. Miles purchased such 5,000 shares for investment purposes with $70,300 of their own funds, and Mr. and Mrs. Miles share the right to receive or the power to direct receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, such 5,000 shares.  Richard M. Jones, Vice President, Senior General Counsel and Secretary of Anschutz Company owns 500 shares of Common Stock and has sole voting and dispositive power with respect thereto.  Mr. Jones purchased such 500 shares for investment purposes with $10,505 of his own funds, and he is the only person with the right to receive or the power to direct receipt of dividends from, or proceeds from the sale of, such 500 shares.  Each of the reporting persons expressly disclaims beneficial ownership of any shares of Common Stock owned by Mr. and Mrs. Miles and Mr. Jones. 

 

By virtue of their relationship, Regal, Anschutz Company or Mr. Anschutz may be deemed to beneficially own the Common Stock subject of this Amendment No. 2.  Neither the filing of this Amendment No. 2 nor any of

 

5



 

its contents shall be deemed to constitute an admission that any Reporting Person (other than Regal), or person listed in Schedule A hereto is the beneficial owner of the Common Stock subject of this Amendment No. 2 for purposes of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act or for any other purpose, and such beneficial ownership is expressly disclaimed.
