Depending on the Company’s assumptions regarding the timing and ability to achieve increased levels of operating revenue, the estimates of amounts of required liquidity vary significantly.
There can be no assurance that the operating revenues, attendance levels, and other assumptions used to estimate the Company’s liquidity requirements and future cash burn rates will be correct, and the ability to be predictive is uncertain due to limited ability to predict studio film release dates, the overall production and theatrical release levels, and success of individual titles.

+Added: Additionally, the effects of labor stoppages, including but not limited to the Writers Guild of America strike and the Screen Actors Guild – American Federation of Television and Radio Artists strike that occurred during 2023 cannot be reasonably estimated and have had, and are expected to continue to have, a negative impact in 2024 on the film slate for exhibition, the Company’s future liquidity and cash burn rates.

+Added: The Company expects, from time to time, to continue to seek to retire or purchase its outstanding debt through cash purchases and/or exchanges for equity or debt, in open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.
Such repurchases or exchanges, if any, will be upon such terms and at such prices as it may determine, and will depend on prevailing market conditions, its liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors.
The amounts involved may be material and to the extent equity is used, dilutive.
