National CineMedia, Inc.

Common Stock

 

 

This prospectus relates to the disposition from time to time by our founding member theatre circuits, or the selling stockholders, of up to 93,639,112 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of National CineMedia, Inc., or NCM, Inc. These include 93,439,112 shares issuable upon exchange on a one-for-one basis of common membership units of National CineMedia, LLC, or NCM LLC, the operating company for our business and of which we are a member and the sole manager, and 200,000 shares currently held by one of the selling stockholders. Under the terms of the registration rights agreement with the selling stockholders executed at the date of NCM, Inc.’s initial public offering (“IPO”), NCM Inc. is required to register shares of its common stock equal to the number of NCM LLC common membership units held by each selling stockholder.

The selling stockholders hold an aggregate of 93,439,112 common membership units that were issued in conjunction with our IPO and thereafter pursuant to contractual arrangements in effect among NCM, Inc., NCM LLC and the selling stockholders relating to net screens that have been added to our network. We have registered for resale by our selling stockholders NCM, Inc. common stock equal to all of the current outstanding common membership units as required by the registration rights agreement as well as the shares of common stock the selling stockholders currently hold.

We will not pay any underwriting discounts or commissions on the shares of common stock issued to the selling stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds from the sale of common stock by the selling stockholders.

Our common stock trades on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the symbol “NCMI.” On April 5, 2017, the reported last sale price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market was $12.52 per share.

The selling stockholders or their pledgees, assignees or successors-in-interest may offer and sell or otherwise dispose of the shares of common stock described in this prospectus from time to time through public or private transactions at prevailing market prices, at prices related to prevailing market prices or at privately negotiated prices. See “Plan of Distribution” beginning on page 8 for more information about how the selling stockholders may sell or dispose of their shares of common stock.

The selling stockholders may resell the common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, who may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions. The selling stockholders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to the sales of common stock. We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the common stock.

 

 

Investing in our common stock involves risks. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 4 of this prospectus.

 

 

Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission nor any state securities commission has approved or disapproved of these securities or passed upon the adequacy or accuracy of this prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

USE OF PROCEEDS

The proceeds from the sale or other disposition of the common stock covered by this prospectus are solely for the accounts of the selling stockholders. We will not receive any proceeds from any sale or other disposition of these shares of common stock by the selling stockholders.

DETERMINATION OF OFFERING PRICE

This offering is being made solely to allow the selling stockholders to offer and sell shares of our common stock to the public. The selling stockholders may offer for sale some of their shares at the time and price that they choose. On any given day, the price per share is likely to be based on the market price of our common stock, as quoted on the Nasdaq Global Select Market on the date of sale, unless shares are sold in private transactions. Consequently, we cannot currently determine the price at which the shares offered for resale pursuant to this prospectus may be sold.

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

Each of the selling stockholders is a founding member of NCM LLC, our operating company subsidiary. Regal and AMC formed NCM LLC in March 29, 2005. On July 15, 2005, Cinemark joined NCM LLC as the third founding member. In February 2007, as part of a reorganization related to our IPO, NCM LLC issued an aggregate of 51,850,951 common membership units to the selling stockholders. Pursuant to the common unit adjustment agreement among us, NCM LLC and the founding members or certain of their affiliates, the founding members may be issued additional common membership units or surrender common membership units from time to time, depending on changes in the numbers of theatre screens operated by each founding member. As of the date of this prospectus, an aggregate of 61,180,943 additional common membership units have been issued to the founding members since our IPO due to positive common unit adjustments, and 6,137,311 common membership units have been surrendered to NCM LLC by the founding members due to negative common unit adjustments. In 2010, an aggregate of 10,955,471 common membership units were redeemed by two of the founding members in exchange for shares of our common stock, which were then sold by those founding members in secondary offerings to public shareholders. In 2013, an aggregate of 2,300,000 common membership units were redeemed by one of the founding members in exchange for shares of our common stock, which were then sold by the founding member in secondary offerings to public shareholders. In 2015, an aggregate of 200,000 common membership units were redeemed by one of the founding members in exchange for shares of our common stock, which were then held by the founding member.

The common membership units were issued as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act and are subject to certain restrictions on transfer under NCM LLC’s operating agreement. The common membership units held by the founding members can be exchanged for our common stock on a one-to-one basis, except if we exercise our option to exchange the common membership units for cash. This prospectus covers the offer and sale or other disposition by the selling stockholders of 93,439,112 shares of common stock issuable to such selling stockholders upon exchange of the common membership units and 200,000 shares of common stock currently held by one of the selling stockholders.

We have registered the above-referenced shares to permit each of the selling stockholders and their pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors-in-interest that, after the date of this prospectus, receive shares of common stock to resell or otherwise dispose of the shares.

The selling stockholders may exchange some, all or none of their common membership units for shares of common stock (subject to our option to exchange units for cash). As part of the original agreement with the selling stockholders at the time of the IPO, we have agreed to use reasonable best efforts to keep a registration statement

effective for each selling stockholder until the earlier of (a) such time as all the shares owned by the selling stockholder as a consequence of their exchange and conversion of the common membership units have been disposed of by the selling stockholder or (b) all such shares may be sold by the selling stockholder in reliance on Rule 144 without restriction. We have registered for resale by the founding members’ common stock equal to all of the current outstanding common membership units as required by the registration rights agreement executed at the date of the IPO.

Since the formation of NCM LLC, AMC, Regal and Cinemark have been parties to ESAs (as amended from time to time) with NCM LLC, which govern the terms by which NCM LLC provides advertising in the theatres of the founding members and their affiliates. We and the founding members are also party to a software license agreement related to our provision of services under the ESAs. Pursuant to a director designation agreement dated February 13, 2007, between us and the founding members, so long as a founding member owns at least 5% of NCM LLC’s issued and outstanding common membership units, such founding member will have the right to designate a total of two nominees to our board of directors (currently nine members), who are voted upon by our stockholders. If a founding member’s director designee is not elected, then NCM LLC’s operating agreement provides that each of the founding members with at least 5% of NCM LLC’s issued and outstanding common membership units has approval rights for certain NCM LLC actions. The operating agreement also provides for mandatory distributions from NCM LLC to its members (the founding members and us). Additionally, for as long as a founding member beneficially owns at least 5% of NCM LLC’s issued and outstanding common membership units, our certificate of incorporation provides that supermajority voting is required on certain of our board actions and actions we, in our capacity as sole manager of NCM LLC, may authorize NCM LLC to take. A tax receivable agreement between us and the founding members provides for our payment of certain tax savings to the founding members. We are also party to a joint defense and common interest agreement with the founding members, as well as a registration rights agreement, which pertains to the registration of shares issuable in exchange for NCM LLC common membership units, as contemplated in this prospectus. On December 26, 2013, NCM LLC sold the Fathom Events business to AC JV, LLC, owned 32% by each of the founding members and 4% by us, and received a total of $25.0 million in promissory notes from our founding members (one-third or approximately $8.3 million from each founding member). In connection with this transaction, NCM LLC amended and restated the ESAs with each of the founding members to remove the provisions related to the transferred Fathom Events business, and also entered into a transition services agreement and a services agreement with AC JV, LLC.

The following table sets forth the name of each selling stockholder, the number of shares of our common stock beneficially owned (through redemption rights associated with the common membership units) by each selling stockholder, the number of shares that may be offered under this prospectus and the number of shares of our common stock to be owned by each selling stockholder after this offering is completed. The number of shares in the column “Number of Shares Being Offered” represents all of the shares that a selling stockholder may offer under this prospectus. Information regarding any position, office or other material relationship which any selling stockholder has had with us within the past three years is described above. For additional information regarding relationships between us and the selling stockholders, see “Certain Relationships and Related Party Transactions” in our Definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the SEC on March 15, 2017, which is incorporated by reference in this prospectus.

As of the date of this prospectus, the selling stockholders hold shares of our common stock and common membership units in NCM LLC. Under the limited liability company agreement for NCM LLC, the selling stockholders have the right to redeem their membership units for, at our election, cash or common stock.

In the decade since our IPO the selling stockholders have only infrequently redeemed their NCM LLC membership units for shares of our common stock and subsequently sold such shares. Pursuant to the proposed final judgment between AMC and the U.S. Department of Justice in connection with AMC’s recent acquisition of Carmike Cinemas, Inc., AMC has agreed to divest the majority of its equity interests in NCM LLC, so that by June 20, 2019 it will own no more than 4.99% of NCM LLC’s outstanding membership units.

Beneficial ownership of a security is determined in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC. Under these rules, a person is deemed to beneficially own a share of our common stock if that person has or shares voting power or investment power with respect to that share, or has the right to acquire beneficial ownership of that share within 60 days, including through the exercise of any option or other right or the conversion of any other

security. Shares issuable under stock options and warrants not subject to this offering are deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of the person holding options or warrants but are not deemed outstanding for computing the percentage of any other person. As of March 30, 2017, the percentage of beneficial ownership for the following table is based upon 60,595,401 shares of our common stock (excluding unvested restricted stock) outstanding of NCM, Inc. and 154,034,513 common membership units of NCM LLC outstanding, of which 60,595,401 are owned by NCM, Inc.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholders, which as used herein includes donees, pledgees, transferees or other successors-in-interest selling common membership units or shares received after the date of this prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other transfer, may, from time to time, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any or all of their shares on any stock exchange, market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These dispositions may be at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of sale, at prices related to the prevailing market price, at varying prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. The offering price of the shares from time to time will be determined by the selling stockholder and, at the time of determination, may be higher or lower than the market price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Select Market.

The selling stockholders may use any one or more of the following methods from time to time when disposing of shares:

 

•

ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

8

---

Table of Contents

•

block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent, but may position and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

•

purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

•

an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

•

privately negotiated transactions;

 

•

short sales effected after the date the registration statement of which this prospectus is a part is declared effective by the SEC;

 

•

through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

 

•

broker-dealers may agree with the selling stockholders to sell a specified number of such shares at a stipulated price per share;

 

•

a combination of any such methods of sale; or

 

•

any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

The selling stockholders may also sell shares under Rule 144 under the Securities Act, if available, rather than under this prospectus. The selling stockholders are not obligated to, and there is no assurance that the selling stockholders will, sell all or any of the shares we are registering. The selling stockholders may transfer, devise or gift such shares by other means not described in this prospectus.

In connection with the sale of our shares, the selling stockholders may sell the shares directly or through broker-dealers acting as a principal or agent, or pursuant to a distribution by one or more underwriters on a firm commitment or best efforts basis. The selling stockholders may also enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of the common stock in the course of hedging the positions they assume. The selling stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction). The selling stockholders, broker-dealers or agents that participate in the sale of the common stock may be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act. Any discounts, commissions, concessions or profit they earn on any resale of the shares may be underwriting discounts and commissions under the Securities Act. Selling stockholders who are “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act will be subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act.

The aggregate proceeds to each selling stockholder from the sale of the common stock offered by them will be the purchase price of the common stock less discounts or commissions, if any. Each of the selling stockholders reserves the right to accept and, together with their agents from time to time, to reject, in whole or in part, any proposed purchase of common stock to be made directly or through agents. We will not receive any of the proceeds from this offering.

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions or discounts from the selling stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser) in amounts to be negotiated. The selling stockholders do not expect these commissions and discounts to exceed what is customary in the types of transactions involved. Any profits on the resale of shares by a broker-dealer acting as principal might be deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act. Discounts, concessions, commissions and similar selling expenses, if any, attributable to the sale of shares will be borne by a selling stockholder. The selling stockholders may agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares if liabilities are imposed on that person under the Securities Act.

We have agreed to indemnify the selling stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act. The selling stockholders have severally agreed to indemnify us against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act.

The selling stockholders may from time to time pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the shares owned by them and, if they default in the performance of any of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares from time to time under this prospectus as it may be supplemented from time to time, or under an amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other applicable provision of the Securities Act amending the list of selling stockholders to include the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling stockholders under this prospectus.

To the extent required, the shares to be sold, the names of the selling stockholders, the respective purchase prices and public offering prices, the names of any agents, dealer or underwriter, any applicable commissions or discounts with respect to a particular offer will be set forth in a supplement to this prospectus or, if appropriate, a post-effective amendment to the registration statement that includes this prospectus.

In order to comply with the securities laws of some states, if applicable, the common stock may be sold in these jurisdictions only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In addition, in some states the common stock may not be sold unless it has been registered or qualified for sale or an exemption from registration or qualification requirements is available and is complied with.

The anti-manipulation rules of Regulation M under the Exchange Act may apply to sales of shares in the market and to the activities of the founding members and their affiliates. In addition, we will make copies of this prospectus (as it may be supplemented or amended from time to time) available to the selling stockholders for the purpose of satisfying the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act. The selling stockholders may indemnify any broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving the sale of the shares against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

We have agreed with the selling stockholders to use reasonable best efforts to keep the registration statement of which this prospectus constitutes a part effective until the earlier of (1) such time as all of the shares covered by this prospectus have been disposed of pursuant to and in accordance with the registration statement or (2) the date on which the shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act without restriction.

Upon our notification by a selling stockholder that any material arrangement has been entered into with an underwriter or broker-dealer for the sale of shares through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution, secondary distribution or a purchase by an underwriter or broker-dealer, we will file a supplement to this prospectus, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing certain material information, including:

ITEM 15.

INDEMNIFICATION OF DIRECTORS AND OFFICERS.

Section 102 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) grants us the power to limit the personal liability of our directors or our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of a fiduciary duty. Article Six of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation eliminates the personal liability of directors for monetary damages for actions taken as a director, except for liability for breach of duty of loyalty; for acts or omissions not in good faith or involving intentional misconduct or knowing violation of law; under Section 174 of the DGCL (unlawful dividends); or for transactions from which the director derived improper personal benefit.

Under Section 145 of the DGCL, a corporation has the power to indemnify directors and officers under certain prescribed circumstances against certain costs and expenses, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative, to which any of them is a party by reason of his being a director or officer of the corporation if it is determined that he acted in accordance with the applicable standard of conduct set forth in such statutory provision. Article VI of our Amended and Restated Bylaws requires us to indemnify any current or former directors or officers to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, and to pay expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon delivery to us of an undertaking, by or on behalf of an indemnified person, to repay all amounts so advanced if it should be determined ultimately that such person is not entitled to be indemnified under this section or otherwise. Article VI also permits us to indemnify any current or former employees or agents to the fullest extent permitted by the DGCL, and to pay expenses incurred in defending any such proceeding in advance of its final disposition upon such terms and conditions, if any, as we deem appropriate.

Section 145 of the DGCL authorizes a corporation to purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation against any liability asserted against and incurred by such person in any such capacity, or arising out of such person’s status as such. As permitted by Section 145 and Section 6.02 of our Amended and Restated Bylaws, we carry insurance policies insuring our directors and officers against certain liabilities that they may incur in their capacity as directors and officers.

We have entered into separate indemnification agreements with each of our directors and officers, which may be broader than the specific indemnification provisions contained in the DGCL. These indemnification agreements may require us, among other things, to indemnify our directors and officers against liabilities that may arise by reason of their status or service as directors or officers, other than liabilities arising from willful misconduct. These indemnification agreements may also require us to advance any expenses incurred by the directors or officers as a result of any proceeding against them as to which they could be indemnified and to obtain directors’ and officers’ insurance, if available on reasonable terms.

The indemnification rights set forth above shall not be exclusive of any other right which an indemnified person may have or hereafter acquire under any statute, provision of our Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation or Amended and Restated Bylaws, agreement, vote of stockholders or disinterested directors or otherwise.

ITEM 17.

UNDERTAKINGS.

(a)    The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:

(1)    To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective amendment to this registration statement:

(i)    To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act of 1933, or Securities Act.

(ii)    To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective date of the registration statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in the information set forth in the registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of securities offered (if the total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered) and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the “Calculation of Registration Fee” table in the effective registration statement.

(iii)    To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution not previously disclosed in the registration statement or any material change to such information in the registration statement;

provided, however, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i), (a)(1)(ii) and (a)(1)(iii) of this section do not apply if the registration statement is on Form S-3 and the information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the registrant pursuant to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act of 1934, or Exchange Act, that are incorporated by reference in the registration statement, or is contained in a form of prospectus filed pursuant to Rule 424(b) that is part of the registration statement.

(2)    That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(3)    To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.

 

II-3

Table of Contents

(4)    That, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act to any purchaser:

(i)    Each prospectus filed by the registrant pursuant to Rule 424(b)(3) shall be deemed to be part of the registration statement as of the date the filed prospectus was deemed part of and included in the registration statement; and

(ii)    Each prospectus required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424(b)(2), (b)(5), or (b)(7) as part of a registration statement in reliance on Rule 430B relating to an offering made pursuant to Rule 415(a)(1)(i), (vii), or (x) for the purpose of providing the information required by section 10(a) of the Securities Act shall be deemed to be part of and included n the registration statement as of the earlier of the date such form of prospectus is first used after effectiveness or the date of the first contract of sale of securities in the offering described in the prospectus. As provided in Rule 430B, for liability purposes of the issuer and any person that is at that date an underwriter, such date shall be deemed to be a new effective date of the registration statement relating to the securities in the registration statement to which that prospectus relates, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof. Provided, however, that no statement made in a registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement or made in a document incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference into the registration statement or prospectus that is part of the registration statement will, as to a purchaser with a time of contract of sale prior to such effective date, supersede or modify any statement that was made in the registration statement or prospectus that was part of the registration statement or made in any such document immediately prior to such effective date.

(5)    That, for the purpose of determining liability of the registrant under the Securities Act to any purchaser in the initial distribution of the securities: The undersigned registrant undertakes that in a primary offering of securities of the undersigned registrant pursuant to this registration statement, regardless of the underwriting method used to sell the securities to the purchaser, if the securities are offered or sold to such purchaser by means of any of the following communications, the undersigned registrant will be a seller to the purchaser and will be considered to offer or sell such securities to such purchaser:

(i)    Any preliminary prospectus or prospectus of the undersigned registrant relating to the offering required to be filed pursuant to Rule 424;

(ii)    Any free writing prospectus relating to the offering prepared by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant or used or referred to by the undersigned registrant;

(iii)    The portion of any other free writing prospectus relating to the offering containing material information about the undersigned registrant or its securities provided by or on behalf of the undersigned registrant; and

(iv)    Any other communication that is an offer in the offering made by the undersigned registrant to the purchaser.

(b)    The undersigned registrants hereby undertake that, for purposes of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each filing of the registrant’s annual report pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the registration statement shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial bona fide offering thereof.

(c)    Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to directors, officers and controlling persons of the registrant pursuant to any charter provision, by law, contract, arrangement, statute, or otherwise, the registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of the registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted against such registrant by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, such registrant will, unless in the opinion of counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
