Combined Prospect Better for Carmike Shareholders than Standalone Carmike Has Consistently Traded at a Discount to Peers   Carmike has traded at an average discount of 1.3x to the peer median over the last 10 years, and 1.0x to AMC since IPO   We believe Carmike’s valuation discount to peers is due to: - Lack of scale - Slowing M&A pipeline for growth - Earnings shortfalls (relative to Street expectations) $196 (23%) - Weaker operational and productivity metrics - No annual dividend 13 Source: Carmike SEC proxy filing.

Other Factors Influencing AMC’s Valuation   The public discussion to date has erroneously neglected to factor in that the Carmike transaction’s value to AMC is materially reduced by the value leakage from: - - - - Regulatory driven theatre and other potential divestitures Tax implications regarding the receipt of NCMI founders shares Required quarterly make-whole payments to be made to NCMI Significant company integration and transaction costs   The deployment of growth initiatives is to be funded by AMC’s capital and is at its own risk   Carmike’s Screenvision investment is a minority stake in a privately held company, valued at $7 million as of March 31, 2016   AMC is currently a 18%(1) owner of NCMI, a publicly traded competitor to Screenvision   Usage of Carmike’s NOLs is limited based on prior Carmike acquisitions, which diminishes the value of the NOLs to AMC significantly Carmike transaction generates no material value from accelerating AMC’s own NOL utilization   14 Source: Company filings.
