Item 1.01     Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
On June 3, 2023, National CineMedia, LLC ("NCM LLC"),
the operating company for National CineMedia, Inc. ("NCM, Inc." or the "Company"),
entered into a Network Affiliate Transaction Agreement (the "Advertising Agreement") with Regal Cinemas, Inc. ("Regal"). The Advertising Agreement will be effective on the later of the approval of each of Regal's bankruptcy court and NCM LLC's bankruptcy court, which is expected to occur on or prior to June 30, 2023. The Advertising Agreement provides that NCM LLC will acquire the exclusive right to provide on-screen advertisements at Regal's theaters for a term of ten years in exchange for payments based on the attendance at Regal's theaters and the revenue generated by NCM LLC through advertising displayed in Regal's theaters.
Pursuant to the Advertising Agreement, NCM LLC will have the right to display advertising in Regal's theaters with a program of inventory that provides for (i) up to five minutes in length for exhibition on-screen immediately prior to showtime of a feature film or digital programming event, (ii) up to ten minutes immediately after the showtime of a feature film, extending the time available to NCM LLC by five minutes, and (iii) the Platinum Spot that may be exhibited on-screen prior to the last two trailers, which may be either thirty or sixty seconds in length, and subject to Regal's approval, NCM LLC may display two thirty-second spots in the Platinum Spot and a Gold Spot, a thirty second spot displayed immediately prior to the fourth trailer preceding a feature film or digital programming event.
Pursuant to a separate termination agreement (the "Termination Agreement"), the Exhibitor Services Agreement, between NCM LLC and Regal (the "ESA"), will be rejected by Regal and will be deemed terminated. Additionally Regal's and Regal's affiliates' waive all rights and interests as to the Tax Receivable Agreement, the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement, the Software License Agreement, the Director Designation Agreement, the Registration Rights Agreement and all the other joint venture agreements described in NCM LLC's Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement and the Company and NCM LLC, and Regal and Regal's affiliates will waive and release claims against the other party. Regal has also agreed to support the proposed reorganization plan of NCM LLC and surrender all shares in the Company upon the reorganization plan's effective date.
In connection with the Advertising Agreement, NCM LLC and Regal also agreed to dismiss with prejudice the ongoing litigation between the parties related to NCM LLC's request to enforce certain provisions of the ESA, including the exclusivity provision.
The foregoing description of the terms and conditions of the Advertising Agreement and the Termination Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Advertising Agreement and Termination Agreement, copies of which will be filed with the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ending June 29, 2023.
