- Target Date: June 21, 2021, or a later "Delayed Redemption Date" if conditions are not met.

Guidance, Outlook, and Risks

Risks and Contingencies:
- Financing Risk: The redemption is not guaranteed and depends entirely on securing new financing on acceptable terms.
- Forward-Looking Statements: The filing includes standard disclaimers regarding future revenues, profitability, and capital expenditures, noting that actual results may differ due to risks including the impact of COVID-19, competition, and film licensing.
- Legal Reference: Investors are directed to the "Risk Factors" in the Form 10-K (filed Feb 26, 2021) and Form 10-Q (filed May 7, 2021) for a comprehensive list of uncertainties.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify whether the "Condition Precedent" (new financing) has been satisfied to confirm if the June 21, 2021 redemption will proceed.
- Monitor for subsequent 8-K filings regarding the terms of the new financing or a rescission of the redemption notice.
- Review the Form 10-Q filed on May 7, 2021, for the most recent liquidity position and cash flow data prior to this event.
- Confirm the status of the 4.875% Notes in upcoming quarterly reports to ensure they are no longer listed as outstanding if the redemption occurs.
