Cineplex Inc. (TSX:CGX) announced that its board of directors has initiated a review of strategic alternatives to evaluate opportunities to enhance and maximize value for all shareholders. To support a seamless leadership transition and the Strategic Review process, Ellis Jacob will serve as Special Advisor to the Board through December 31, 2026, working closely with the Board, management team and the Company’s advisors in connection with the review and assessment of strategic alternatives available to the Company. The Board has initiated a Strategic Review to evaluate opportunities to enhance and maximize value for all shareholders. As part of the Strategic Review, the Board will consider a range of alternatives, including, but not limited to, a potential sale of the Company. The Board has engaged Goldman Sachs and TD Securities as co-financial advisors in connection with the Strategic Review. The Company has also retained Goodmans LLP as legal counsel. The Strategic Review will be conducted under the oversight of the Board, working closely with Ellis Jacob in his capacity as Special Advisor to the Board, and with the assistance of the Company’s financial and legal advisors and senior management. “The Board recognizes its responsibility to continuously evaluate opportunities to enhance shareholder value,” said Yaffe. “Cineplex has a strong market position, a portfolio of leading entertainment assets, powerful consumer brands, and attractive long-term growth opportunities. However, we believe the Company’s current market valuation may not fully reflect the strength of its business and long-term prospects. While we remain highly confident in the Company’s future prospects, we are committed to evaluating all available opportunities and remain open-minded regarding potential outcomes.” The Board and management team remain committed to executing the Company’s strategic priorities and continuing to grow the business while the Strategic Review is underway. No decisions have been made regarding any particular strategic alternative, and no timetable has been established for completion of the Strategic Review. There can be no assurance that the Strategic Review will result in any transaction, agreement or other strategic outcome. The Company does not intend to disclose developments relating to the Strategic Review unless and until it determines that disclosure is appropriate or required under applicable securities laws.

Announcements of Sales/Trading Statement · GlobeNewswire – Canada
AMC Entertainment Holdings announced the creation of Leawood Films, a new film distribution company headquartered both in Los Angeles and AMC Theatres home base of Leawood, Kansas. Leawood Films will focus on bringing additional movies to theatrical audiences in the U.S. and across the globe, leveraging its marketing ability and the prominence of its exhibition network, and further expanding the range of content available to moviegoers. Leawood Films is buoyed by the substantial screen count achieved for AMC’s highly successful theatrical distribution efforts industry-wide for TAYLOR SWIFT | THE ERAS TOUR, and RENAISSANCE: A FILM BY BEYONCÉ in 2023, followed by TAYLOR SWIFT | THE OFFICIAL RELEASE PARTY OF A SHOWGIRL in 2025. In addition to AMC’s ability to commit a significant number of its own available screens, Leawood Films expects to partner and collaborate with a wide array of other leading movie theatre circuits domestically and internationally. Rather than financing productions, developing scripts, or assuming the traditional risks associated with film production, Leawood Films is intentionally conceived as a disciplined low-risk opportunity for AMC, as it intends to work only with established and emerging filmmakers who are able to secure full financing for their own films, or who already have completed films in hand. This Leawood Films initiative will then take advantage of AMC’s ability to guarantee significant placement in theatres the world over, combined with AMC’s world class marketing prowess and exhibition expertise. Leawood Films of course will respect a 45-day or greater PVOD window and a 90-day or more SVOD window. The vast majority of its movies' downstream revenues after they leave theatres, and the ownership of their IP, will remain with their film makers. Certain economic benefits enjoyed by film makers working with Leawood Films often may differ markedly from traditional studio distribution arrangements. Leawood Films will focus primarily on small and medium-sized releases, films that otherwise might have difficulty in securing distribution backing elsewhere. It will not be constrained to specific film genres, nor will it be limited to distributing only music/concert-oriented movies where AMC has had so much success previously. Leawood Films is being launched in part because there is so much excess capacity in the movie theatre industry. Leawood Films will be led by an impressive team of advisors, a cadre of accomplished and distinguished entertainment industry veterans including Toby Emmerich, Ricky Strauss, and Kyle Davies. Leawood Films will be represented by Craig Jacobson. AMC expects to be aided in this Leawood Films venture by experienced firms with significant distribution expertise and credentials, with whom AMC has worked extremely well previously. Notably, they are headlined by Variance Films in North America and Piece of Magic Entertainment internationally, among others. At present, Leawood Films has not yet selected its initial films to be released. Therefore, the first such projects are unlikely to take place prior to sometime in calendar years 2027 or 2028.
