(&#8220;Credit Agreement Amendment&#8221;) to allow for the automatic waiver of any non-compliance with its Consolidated Net Senior Secured Leverage Ratio and Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio financial covenants occurring from the quarter ending June 25, 2020 until and including the quarter ending July 1, 2021 (the &#8220;Covenant Holiday Period&#8221;).

Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On April 30, 2020, National CineMedia LLC ("NCM LLC") amended its Credit Agreement, dated as of June 20, 2018 ("Credit Agreement Amendment") to allow for the automatic waiver of any non-compliance with its Consolidated Net Senior Secured Leverage Ratio and Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio financial covenants occurring from the quarter ending June 25, 2020 until and including the quarter ending July 1, 2021 (the "Covenant Holiday Period"). As of March 26, 2020, NCM LLC was in compliance with the foregoing financial covenants. The Credit Agreement Amendment requires that, until the fiscal quarter ending July 1, 2021, NCM LLC must not permit the sum of unrestricted cash on hand at NCM LLC and availability under its Revolving Credit Facility to be less than $55.0 million. Further, NCM LLC can make available cash distributions to its members (AMC, Cinemark, Regal and NCM, Inc.) during the Covenant Holiday Period only if trailing 12-month Consolidated EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) equals or exceeds $277.0 million and outstanding loans under the Revolving Credit Facility is equal to or less than $39.0 million.  NCM LLC can make available cash distributions to its members outside of the Covenant Holiday Period so long as  NCM LLC's Consolidated Net Senior Secured Leverage Ratio are equal to or less than 5.00 to 1.00 and no default or event of default under the Credit Agreement has occurred and is continuing.
The foregoing description of the Credit Agreement Amendment is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete copy of the Credit Agreement Amendment filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated by reference herein.
