Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have their respective meanings under the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement or the Schedule 13D, as applicable.

 

Item 3.  Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

 

Item 3 is hereby amended to add the following:

On August 18, 2010, Regal redeemed 4,200,000 NCM Units for a like number of shares of Common Stock which Regal sold in an underwritten public offering for $16.00 per share, reducing Regal’s investment in National CineMedia.  Regal received approximately $64.5 million in proceeds after deducting related fees and expenses payable.

 

On September 8, 2010, Regal redeemed an additional 100,278 NCM Units for a like number of shares of Common Stock and sold them to the underwriters to cover over-allotments at $16.00 per share, further reducing Regal’s investment in National CineMedia.  Regal received approximately $1.5 million of net proceeds from this sale.

 

Item 4.  Purpose of Transaction.

 

Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:

 

Regal acquired NCM Units for investment purposes pursuant to the terms of the Common Unit Adjustment Agreement and subsequently sold NCM Units for investment purposes.  The aggregate net proceeds will be used for general corporate purposes.
