Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
On August 6, 2015, Kurt C. Hall notified the Board of Directors ("the Board") of National Cinemedia, Inc. ("the Company") of his intent to resign as President, Chief Executive Officer, Chairman of the Board and a Director of the Company and to resign from all positions he holds at National CineMedia, LLC upon the appointment of his successor CEO.  Mr. Hall's decision to resign was not a result of any disagreement with the Company on any matters relating to the Company's operations, policies or practices.
In connection with Mr. Hall's anticipated resignation, the Company announced that it will implement its Chairman and CEO succession plan. The Board has retained an executive search firm to initiate a search for a new CEO to succeed Mr. Hall. Upon the appointment of a new CEO, Scott N. Schneider, currently Lead Director of the Board, will succeed Mr. Hall as Chairman of the Board and Mr. Hall will continue in a 24-month consulting role as an advisor to the Board and CEO to facilitate a seamless transition and consult on other business matters.
