Item 1.01    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On June 2, 2022, National CineMedia, Inc. (the "Company") entered into a letter agreement (the "Letter Agreement") with Standard General L.P. ("Standard General"). Pursuant to the Letter Agreement, the Company agreed to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock currently owned by Standard General. The Company is required to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement until the earlier of the third anniversary of the Letter Agreement and the time when all shares have been sold or are otherwise able to be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act without any limitation as to manner-of-sale restrictions or volume limitations (the "Registration Period"). The sales of shares will be subject to certain limitations as specified in the Letter Agreement.
Under the terms of the Letter Agreement, Standard General agreed to refrain from certain actions during the Registration Period, including (A) seeking to acquire the Company or any of its material assets, or proposing mergers, acquisitions or other business combinations involving the Company; (B) acquiring additional shares of the Company's common stock following which Standard General would economically own or have a total net long position greater than 30% of the Company's outstanding common stock; and (C) certain other actions specified in the Letter Agreement.
The foregoing description of the terms and conditions of the Letter Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Letter Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
