On May 28, 2015, AMC Entertainment Inc. (the “Company”), a wholly owned subsidiary of AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc., received a Civil Investigative Demand (“CID”) from the Antitrust Division of the United States Department of Justice in connection with an investigation under Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Antitrust Act.  On May 29, 2015, the Company also received a CID from the Antitrust Section of the Office of Attorney General of the State of Ohio regarding a similar inquiry under Ohio’s antitrust laws.  The CIDs request the production of documents and answers to interrogatories concerning potentially anticompetitive conduct, including film clearances and participation in certain joint ventures.  We do not believe the Company has violated federal or state antitrust laws and are cooperating with the relevant governmental authorities. However, we cannot predict the ultimate scope, duration or outcome of these investigations.
