On May 17, 2024, Tiago Lourenço notified National CineMedia, Inc. (“NCM, Inc.” or “the Company”) of his resignation from the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”), effective immediately. Mr. Lourenço’s resignation did not result from any disagreement with NCM, Inc. Mr. Lourenço was designated to the Board by Blantyre Capital Limited (“Blantyre Capital”) in accordance with the Director Designation Agreement (the “Designation Agreement”), dated August 7, 2023, between the Company, the Consenting Creditor Designation Committee (as defined in the Designation Agreement) and Blantyre Capital.
On May 22, 2024, the Board elected Nathan “Tripp” Lane as a member of the Board. Mr. Lane was appointed to fill the vacancy created by the resignation of Mr. Lourenço. Mr. Lane was designated by Blantyre Capital in accordance with the Designation Agreement.
