( CCI ), a leading cinema business in 7 countries across Central and Eastern Europe ( CEE ) and Israel ( Cinema City ), by means of an acquisition of the shares in Cinema City Holding B.V. The transaction is based on an enterprise value of Cinema City (on a debt free / cash free basis) of approximately 503 million The combination with Cinema City will create the second largest cinema business in Europe with the #1 or #2 market share (by number of screens) in every region of operation. Following Completion of the transaction, the Enlarged Group will have 201 sites and 1,852 fully digital screens Cinema City brings attractive growth opportunities in developing economies and markets in which multiplex screen penetration is comparatively low, with low admissions per capita, high population per screen and low average ticket prices. In 2009, the business had revenues of 188.5 million ( 155.6 million), EBITDA of 35.8 million ( 29.5 million) and operating profit of 19.6 million ( 16.2 million) and has since experienced strong growth with 2009-2012 revenue, EBITDA and operating profit CAGR of 14.2 per cent., 18.9 per cent. and 14.8 per cent. respectively 1. Furthermore, Cinema City has a strong pipeline of screen openings in place to capitalise on further growth On Completion, the management team of the Enlarged Group will comprise of highly respected and experienced representatives from both Cineworld and CCI: Anthony Bloom will continue as Chairman of the Enlarged Group, Mooky Greidinger, the current Chief Executive Officer of CCI, will be appointed as Chief Executive Officer; Philip Bowcock will remain as Chief Financial Officer; Israel Greidinger, the current Chief Financial Officer of CCI 1 Converted at an exchange rate of 1: 1.2117. Cinema City financials are pre-adjustment for new initial lease charge of 7.65m post Completion. 1

will be appointed as Chief Operating Officer; the new Board will comprise of 10 directors, of which six will be from the existing Cineworld Board together with Mooky Greidinger and Israel Greidinger and two new non-executive directors: Scott Rosenblum (CCI s current Chairman) and Arni Samuelsson (new independent director) The transaction will be funded through a fully underwritten rights issue to raise approximately 110 million, new debt facilities and new Cineworld shares issued as consideration to CCI, representing 24.9% of the Enlarged Group Cost synergies of 2m have been identified, the majority of which are expected to be realised in FY 2014. These are expected to be achieved from eliminating duplicated corporate costs, public company expenses and functional overheads The transaction is expected to be accretive to adjusted earnings per share in FY 2014 and substantially accretive thereafter and have a return on invested capital ( ROIC ) that is in line with Cineworld s cost of capital in 2016 2 The existing dividend policy will be underpinned by the strong cash flow and future prospects of the Enlarged Group The transaction constitutes a Class 1 transaction for the purposes of the Listing Rules. Accordingly, a General Meeting has been convened for 29 January 2014 and the transaction is expected to complete in March 2014 The transaction is classified under the Listing Rules as a Class 1 transaction. The transaction, together with the allotment of the Consideration Shares to CCI pursuant to the terms of the transaction, therefore requires the approval of Cineworld s shareholders. The sale and purchase of the shares in Cinema City Holding B.V. (the company which will own the Cinema City business at Completion) will also require the consent of the CCI Shareholders under Dutch law. The transaction is therefore conditional, among other things, on the approval of both Cineworld s shareholders and CCI s shareholders. The Rights Issue is not conditional upon the Completion of the transaction but is conditional on the passing of the resolution set out in the Notice of General Meeting. The Rights Issue may therefore complete while the transaction does not. In the event that Admission of the Rights Issue Shares is effected but Completion does not occur, the Cineworld Directors current intention is that the proceeds of the Rights Issue will be applied to reducing the Company s net indebtedness on a shortterm basis while the Cineworld Directors evaluate alternative uses of the funds. If no such uses can be found, the Cineworld Directors will consider how best to return surplus capital to Shareholders. Such a return could carry fiscal costs for certain Shareholders, will have costs for Cineworld and would be subject to applicable securities laws. A combined Class 1 circular and prospectus (the Prospectus ) containing further details of the transaction and the Rights Issue and containing the notice convening the General Meeting will be sent to Cineworld Shareholders (other than Cineworld Shareholders with a registered address in the Excluded Territories) as soon as practicable. 2 This statement does not constitute a profit forecast nor should it be interpreted to mean that the future earnings per share, profits, margins or cash flows of the Enlarged Group, taking into account the effect of the Rights Issue and the Combination, will necessarily be greater than the historical published earnings per share, profits, margins or cash flows of the Cineworld Group. ROIC defined as net operating profit (including synergies) after tax as a % of enterprise value associated with the Combination. The calculation of ROIC may be different for different companies. 2

Commenting on the Combination, Anthony Bloom, Chairman of Cineworld, said: This is an exciting and unique opportunity for Cineworld to offer shareholders enhanced growth prospects and attractive returns via exposure to some of the most promising cinema markets in Europe. Cinema City is an extremely well-run and dynamic business, which creates a platform for further growth in future. Mooky Greidinger will be joining us as CEO he is a highly respected and very experienced cinema executive who enjoys international recognition. The Board therefore unanimously recommends this proposed transaction with CCI. Steve Wiener, Chief Executive Officer of Cineworld, said: I have known Mooky and Israel Greidinger for many years as Cineworld and Cinema City both experienced growth and success in the UK, CEE and in Israel respectively. After my decision in November to move on, I am pleased to be leaving a company with such an exciting next chapter and I wish Mooky, Israel and my talented Cineworld colleagues great success. Mooky Greidinger, Chief Executive Officer of CCI, said: After nearly four decades in the cinema industry building a business from one country to seven, I see an impressive company in Cineworld and a good fit with Cinema City. Together with the rest of the proposed management team I intend to seize this opportunity to bring together two equals in size, both leading players in their respective countries, and lead the resulting business to continuing growth, innovation and dedication to the best possible customer experience.

Cineworld s portfolio includes five out of the ten highest grossing cinemas in the UK and Ireland in 2013 (source: Rentrak). All of Cineworld s sites have been converted to digital projection and Cineworld is one of the industry leaders in 3D, a format which the Cineworld Directors believe will become increasingly important. Cineworld has also introduced a number of CRM initiatives, including MyCineworld, which now has over 3.5 million members, and Unlimited, which now has approximately 372,000 members. Cineworld has been listed on the London Stock Exchange since May 2007. More information can be found at http://www.cineworldplc.com.

Proposed Combination of Cineworld with the Cinema Operations of Cinema City International N.V. 8 for 25 Rights Issue of up to 47,965,465 Rights Issue Shares at 230 pence per New Ordinary Share to raise approximately 110 million Issue to Cinema City International N.V. of Consideration Shares in Cineworld representing 24.9% of the share capital of Cineworld following Completion of the Combination and cash consideration of 272 million 1. Introduction Cineworld has today announced the proposed combination with Cinema City, based on an enterprise value (on a debt free / cash free basis) for Cinema City of approximately 503 million. The consideration paid by Cineworld will comprise of a combination of cash and new Cineworld shares, as further detailed below. As a result, CCI will become a 24.9 per cent. shareholder in the Enlarged Group. Cinema City operates 99 multiplexes with 966 screens in seven countries, a cinema advertising business and the Forum Film distribution companies, which distribute films for international and domestic film studios across the seven countries. In FY 2012, Cinema City had revenue of 280.7 million ( 231.6 million) and EBITDA of 60.2 million ( 49.7 million) 3. The combination with Cinema City will create the second largest cinema business in Europe with the number one or number two position (by number of screens) in every region in which the Enlarged Group would operate. Following Completion of the transaction, the Enlarged Group will have 201 sites and 1,852 fully digital screens. Cinema City brings growth opportunities in developing economies and structurally underpenetrated markets with low admissions per capita and high population per screen. In 2009, the business had revenues of 188.5 million ( 155.6 million), EBITDA of 35.8 million ( 29.5 million) and operating profit of 19.6 million ( 16.2 million) and has since experienced strong growth with 2009-2012 revenue, EBITDA and operating profit CAGR of 14.2 per cent., 18.9 per cent. and 14.8 per cent. Respectively 3. Furthermore, Cinema City has a strong pipeline of screen openings in place to capitalise on further growth in these territories. It is intended that, on Completion, the current Chief Executive Officer of CCI, Mooky Greidinger, and the current Chief Financial Officer of CCI, Israel Greidinger, will join the Board as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer of the Enlarged Group, respectively. Philip Bowcock will remain as Chief Financial Officer of the Enlarged Group, and Anthony Bloom will continue as Chairman of the Enlarged Group. Cineworld proposes to finance the Combination through: part of the proceeds of the Rights Issue and the Debt Financing; and the issue of the Consideration Shares with an aggregate market value of 231.4 million 4 through which CCI will become a shareholder in Cineworld with a shareholding of 24.9 per cent. 3 Converted at an exchange rate of 1: 1.2117. Cinema City financials are pre-adjustment for new initial lease charge of 7.65m post Completion 4 Based on the Theoretical Ex-Rights Price of 353 pence implied by the Closing Price of 392 pence per Existing Ordinary Share as at 9 January 2014 and assuming no further Ordinary Shares are issued or cancelled from the date of this document until Completion other than the Rights Issue Shares and the Consideration Shares. 8

The Rights Issue is to be made on the basis of 8 Rights Issue Share for every 25 Existing Ordinary Share at an issue price of 230 pence per share. This represents a 34.8 per cent discount to the Theoretical Ex-Rights Price of 353 pence. CCI completed an initial public offering on the WSE in Poland in 2006. Following Completion, CCI will retain its Polish listing and intends to remain a long-term strategic shareholder in Cineworld. CCI intends to change its name to Global City Holdings N.V. at Completion. The Combination is classified under the Listing Rules as a Class 1 transaction given the size of Cinema City compared to Cineworld. The Combination, together with the allotment of the Consideration Shares to CCI pursuant to the terms of the Combination, therefore requires the approval of the Shareholders. The sale and purchase of the shares in Cinema City will also require the consent of the CCI Shareholders under Dutch law. The Combination is therefore conditional, among other things, on the approval of both the Shareholders and the CCI Shareholders. As referred to below, the Rights Issue is not conditional upon Completion but is conditional on the passing of the Resolution. A General Meeting will be held at the offices of Slaughter and May, One Bunhill Row, London EC1Y 8YY at 11.00 a.m. on 29 January 2014 for Shareholders to consider, and if thought fit, pass the Resolution required to enable and authorise Cineworld to complete the proposed Rights Issue, the Combination and allot the Consideration Shares. 2. Background, strategy and rationale for the Combination 2.1 Background and strategy Cineworld s success in enhancing shareholder value over the last few years has been based around four core operating pillars: Put our customers at the heart of everything we do Cineworld aims to have an indepth knowledge of its customers and believes that this strong understanding best enables it to increase attendance and revenue streams. Examples of initiatives include MyCineworld, which now has over 3.5 million members, and Unlimited, which now has approximately 372,000 members. Furthermore, the Company launched a newly designed website in 2012, helping to capture more customer data, thereby enhancing its CRM database. In 2013, more than 74 million visits to the Cineworld website were recorded. Deliver a great cinema experience Cineworld strives to ensure that its cinemas are comfortable, safe, clean and well-equipped, thereby giving its customers a great experience. Recent initiatives include increasing the number of Starbucks outlets at cinemas within the estate, increasing the number of IMAX screens, and trialling new 4D Motion technology. Develop our people, effectiveness and efficiencies Cineworld endeavours to create a culture with a passion for People, Innovation and Achieving, and the Board believes that developing and retaining the Company s employees is core to its success. The Company has a strong commitment to efficiency and is continually focused on ensuring that its training arrangements and systems are appropriate for a leading cinema business. Grow our estate Cineworld is focused on growth through selective new openings and acquisitions. Since 2012, Cineworld has opened Cineworld cinemas in Aldershot, Wembley, Gloucester Quays and at the Glasgow Science Centre. The development pipeline for the coming years remains strong and Cineworld is on target to open at least a further 169 screens in the UK and Ireland by the end of 2016. 9

The acquisition of Picturehouse in December 2012 strengthened Cineworld s position in what the Board believes to be a high value, high growth segment of the UK cinema market. That transaction consolidated Cineworld s position as one of the largest cinema groups in the UK, adding a complementary portfolio of cinemas to Cineworld s existing estate, from both a geographic and strategic perspective. Picturehouse has performed in line with expectations since the acquisition and, in combination with the other initiatives set out above, has helped Cineworld increase its market share by box office revenue in the UK and Ireland from 23.8 per cent. in 2008 to 27.3 per cent. in the first nine months of 2013 (source: Rentrak). While Cineworld s focus to date has been on consolidating and advancing its position as one of the leading cinema businesses in the UK and Ireland, the Company has always recognised that the future holds exciting growth opportunities outside these countries. The Board believes it is now well positioned to begin to capitalise on these opportunities and the combination with Cinema City represents an important step as part of this strategic development. 2.2 Rationale for the Combination Cinema City is a leading CEE cinema business present in a number of territories that offer attractive growth, complementing Cineworld s stable core business. The Combination will create the second largest cinema operator in Europe (by number of screens) with strong positions in a number of highly attractive and growing markets. As at the Latest Practicable Date, the Enlarged Group would have 1,852 screens across Europe (Cinema City: 966 and Cineworld: 886), making it the second largest operator in Europe (by number of screens) after Odeon UCI, which had 2,187 screens as at 30 September 2013, with the number one or number two position (by number of screens) in every region in which the Enlarged Group will operate. Cineworld believes that the Combination will drive growth in the business and enhance shareholder value by: supplementing the Cineworld business with an attractive combination of industry leading operations in a number of attractive markets; providing the Enlarged Group s business with a platform to expand in a number of Cinema City s territories; providing the Enlarged Group s business with a platform for further European expansion; providing a diversified revenue base to mitigate volatility in individual territories; delivering estimated annualised pre-tax cost synergies of 2.0 million from cost savings, the majority of which are expected to be achieved in FY 2014 and are expected to incur negligible one-off cash costs to realise; giving the Enlarged Group significant scope to drive additional benefits from its combined operations through operational improvements and the sharing of best practice across the Cineworld and Cinema City businesses (including utilising Cineworld s experience in the mature UK market to improve returns in Cinema City s more developed cinema industries of Israel and Poland); delivering an attractive return on invested capital, being earnings accretive in FY 2014 and substantially accretive thereafter 5 ; and allowing the Enlarged Group to maintain the existing Cineworld dividend policy, underpinned by the future prospects of the Enlarged Group. 2.3 Cinema City s industry leading operations 5 This statement does not constitute a profit forecast nor should it be interpreted to mean that the future earnings per share, profits, margins or cash flows of the Enlarged Group, taking into account the effect of the Rights Issue and the Combination, will necessarily be greater than the historical published earnings per share, profits, margins or cash flows of the Cineworld Group. 10

Cinema City is one of the largest cinema operators in Europe and an industry leader in the CEE region, with leading industry positions by number of screens in all seven countries in which it operates, namely Poland, Israel, Hungary, Romania, the Czech Republic, Bulgaria and Slovakia. Cinema City offers a strong combination of expertise in operating cinemas in CEE countries, with a track record in customer-focused entertainment and site rollout. Similarly to Cineworld, Cinema City puts the customer experience at the centre of its strategy and operates a well invested, modern, fully digitised estate of 99 multiplexes, with 3D projection and stadium seating in all multiplexes, 10 IMAX screens and five 4DX screens. Cineworld believes that Forum Film and New Age Media, Cinema City s principal distribution and advertising arms, respectively, are complementary to Cineworld s Picturehouse Entertainment Limited and DCM. 2.4 Platform for growth Many of Cinema City s assets are situated in fast growing territories with attractive demographics, including a growing middle class with rising disposable incomes, and a combined population of approximately 100 million. In general, the cinema sectors in CEE countries in which Cinema City operates are underpenetrated and have lower annual admissions per capita than is typical in Western European markets such as the UK. In such countries, Cineworld believes that there is significant potential for structural growth in cinema admissions through new openings, as can be seen in the table below. For example, in 2012 in Poland, where Cinema City has its largest number of screens, annual admissions per capita were 1.0 (UK: 2.7) and capita per screen was approximately 33,300 (UK: approximately 16,600). Cineworld believes that it will be able to drive strong box office revenue growth through increased penetration of these industries over time through opening of new sites. Country Admissions per Capita (2012) Capita per Screen (2012) Average ticket Price (2012) (in 000s) ( ) US 3.9 7.9 4.8 France 3.1 11.9 5.3 UK 2.7 16.6 6.4 Germany 1.6 17.7 6.3 Poland 1.0 33.3 3.7 Israel 1.6 29.0 5.4 Hungary 1.1 25.5 3.0 Romania 0.4 81.0 3.2 Czech Republic 1.1 12.8 3.4 Bulgaria 0.7 38.0 3.7 Slovakia 0.6 25.3 4.2 Source: Dodona Research except admissions per capital in Israel (sourced from the Israel Cinema Association). Bulgaria figures based on Dodona estimates in 2011 for 2012. Note: Average ticket prices have been converted from local currency to using exchange rates from Bloomberg as at 9 January 2014. Furthermore, average box office prices in CEE countries in which Cinema City operates currently tend to be lower than in developed markets such as in the UK. As an example, the average ticket price for cinema attendance in Romania in 2012 is estimated to be approximately 3.15, compared with approximately 6.37 in the UK (source: Dodona Research). Cinema City has a strong track record of driving expansion and growth, having more than doubled its number of screens from 466 at the time of CCI s initial public offering in 2006 to 966 today. Cinema City currently has 36 new multiplexes (377 screens) under development and is well positioned to continue to explore possibilities in attractive markets in CEE, both organically and through potential acquisitions in existing and new markets. 11

The Enlarged Group will be the second largest cinema operator in Europe by number of screens with an attractive portfolio of strong positions in a number of highly attractive and growing markets. Cineworld believes that the Enlarged Group will be well positioned to expand further into new, attractive and underpenetrated European markets. 2.5 Diversified revenue base to mitigate volatility in individual territories The Enlarged Group will have a diverse geographic footprint that the Board expects will help to mitigate year-on-year volatility from regional economic, weather and film performance risk and enable the Enlarged Group to diversify its film offering through local content. 2.6 Delivering synergies The Board estimates that, following the Combination, the Enlarged Group will be able to achieve annualised pre-tax cost synergies of 2 million from the benefits of eliminating duplicated corporate costs, public company expenses and functional overheads. The synergies identified reflect both beneficial elements and relevant costs, are contingent on Completion, and could not be achieved independently. The Board expects that the Enlarged Group will benefit from the majority of these synergies in FY 2014 and it is expected that the realisation of these synergies will incur negligible one-off cash costs. 2.7 Best practice sharing The Board believes that the Enlarged Group will be able to accrue considerable additional benefits from the sharing of best practice between Cineworld and Cinema City. As an example, Cineworld believes that the Enlarged Group will be well positioned to improve returns in Cinema City s more established businesses in Israel and Poland. Cineworld has had considerable success in the UK through the MyCineworld and Unlimited initiatives which the Board believes have been instrumental in improving Cineworld s attendance figures and market share performance. Given the dynamics in a number of the key Cinema City countries of operation, Cineworld believes that there is scope to achieve a similar level of success with analogous initiatives in these territories. 2.8 Attractive financial returns The Board believes that the transaction would be financially beneficial to Shareholders. The Board expects the return on invested capital associated with the Combination to be in line with Cineworld s stand-alone weighted average cost of capital in the third year after Completion, 2016, with higher returns expected to be achieved in following years, and to be earnings accretive after the Combination in FY 2014 and substantially accretive thereafter. This statement does not constitute a profit forecast nor should it be interpreted to mean that the future earnings per share, profits, margins or cash flows of the Enlarged Group, taking into account the effect of the Rights Issue and the Combination, will necessarily be greater than the historical published earnings per share, profits, margins or cash flows of the Cineworld Group. The Board believes that Cineworld will be able to maintain its existing dividend policy following the completion of the Combination, underpinned by the future prospects of the Enlarged Group. In light of the scale and size of the proposed Combination, Cineworld believes that it has taken a prudent approach to financing the Combination which balances a conservative financing structure, attractive Shareholder returns and future flexibility with strong cash flow generation and a deleveraging profile. 12

The Board s expectations regarding these financial effects are based upon an assumed acquisition completion date of 31 March 2014 and the realisation of synergies on the basis described above and do not take into account any exceptional restructuring costs. 3. Summary information on Cineworld Cineworld is the leading cinema group in the UK and Ireland (by box office revenues). The Cineworld Group currently operates 102 sites under the Cineworld and Picturehouse brands, of which the majority are multiplex sites with five screens or more. 21 of those sites are operated under the Picturehouse brand, which provides a different offering with fewer screens and individual styles. As a result of a Competition Commission decision following the acquisition of Picturehouse, Cineworld will be disposing of two Picturehouse cinemas in Aberdeen and Bury St Edmunds. Cineworld will also be disposing of a cinema in Cambridge and the Board will make its final decision on which cinema will be sold later in the year. The Cineworld Group s portfolio includes five out of the 10 highest grossing cinemas in the UK and Ireland in 2013 (source: Rentrak). All of the Cineworld Group s sites have been converted to digital projection, and the Cineworld Group is one of the industry leaders in the UK and Ireland in 3D, a format which the Board believes will become increasingly important. In FY 2013, Cineworld continued to benefit from its customer-focused initiatives resulting in UK and Ireland market share for Cineworld growing to 25.4 per cent. (2012: 24.7 per cent.). Including Picturehouse, the Cineworld Group market share was 27.3 per cent (source: Rentrak). In FY 2012, the Cineworld Group (including Picturehouse) accounted for over 47 million admissions, had revenues of 358.7 million (2011: 348.0 million) and EBITDA before exceptional items of 67.1 million (2011: 63.3 million). 4. Summary information on Cinema City The Greidinger family started the predecessor to Cinema City in 1929 and opened its first cinema in Haifa, Israel in 1931. Israel was Cinema City s sole country of operation until 1997, when Cinema City looked beyond the Israeli cinema industry for growth opportunities. Cinema City then expanded into CEE, starting with Hungary in 1997, followed by the launch of operations in Poland and the Czech Republic in 1999, the establishment of a subsidiary in Bulgaria in 2003 (which commenced operations in 2006) and the launch of operations in Romania in 2007. With the acquisition of the Palace Cinemas chain in 2011, Cinema City added Slovakia as its seventh country of operations and expanded its operations in Hungary and the Czech Republic. Cinema City is now one of the largest cinema businesses in Europe and operates 99 multiplexes, with a total of 966 screens, across CEE and Israel. In Israel, Cinema City operates cinemas under the Yes Planet and Rav-Chen brands and in CEE it operates cinemas under the Cinema City brand. Cinema operations represent Cinema City s core business and are comprised of box office sales, retail sales of food and drink through concession stands, and on- and off-screen advertising. Cinema City also operates a film distribution business through its local Forum Film subsidiaries in all its countries of operation. Cinema City Holding was incorporated in The Netherlands in December 2012 as a wholly-owned subsidiary of CCI. Cinema City Holding, together with the other members of the Cinema City Holding Group, will own and operate Cinema City following completion of the Reorganisation (described below). The corporate office of Cinema City Holding is located in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. New Age Media, Cinema City s CEE advertising and sponsorship arm, offers on- and off-screen advertising in Poland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Bulgaria and Romania. Cinema City s Israeli advertising arm operates under the Cinema Channel brand. For FY 2012, Cinema City had total 13

revenues of 280.7 million ( 231.6 million) (2011: 267.5 million ( 220.7 million)) and in the 2013 Interim Period, it had total revenues of 209.0 million ( 172.5 million) 6. 5. Summary of the key terms of the Combination Combination Agreement Under the Combination Agreement, Cineworld has conditionally agreed to acquire the entire issued share capital of Cinema City Holding from CCI. The consideration to be received by CCI on Completion under the terms of the Combination Agreement will consist of: 272,000,000 in cash 7 ; and Consideration Shares Representing an enterprise value on a debt free / cash free basis of 503 million. In addition, CCI will also receive on Completion under the terms of the Combination: 14,488,000 in cash 8 ; and the Earnings Consideration 9 A locked box mechanism has been and will be in place from 1 October 2013 to the date of Completion (inclusive), designed to prevent such cash and cash equivalents from "leaking out" of the Cinema City Holding Group to the Remaining Cinema City Group. Based on the Theoretical Ex-Rights Price of 353 pence implied by the Closing Price of 392 pence per Existing Ordinary Share as at 9 January 2014 (being the latest Business Day prior to the announcement of the Rights Issue), the Consideration Shares would be valued at 231.4 million 10. Following Completion, the Earnings Consideration will be subject to a true-up adjustment based on 100 per cent. of the actual accumulated adjusted earnings of the Cinema City Business from 1 October 2013 to the date of Completion (inclusive). On the assumption that no further Ordinary Shares are issued or cancelled from the date of this document until Completion other than the Rights Issue Shares and the Consideration Shares, the number of Consideration Shares to be issued to CCI pursuant to the Combination will be 65,601,236. The Greidinger family has indirect control of CCI's majority shareholder I.T. International Theatres Ltd. ( ITIT ), through its majority shareholding in Israel Theatres Ltd. ITIT is wholly-owned by Israel Theatres Ltd. More than 88 per cent. of the shares in Israel Theatres Ltd. are held indirectly by Mooky Greidinger, Israel Greidinger and other members of the Greidinger family. ITIT is a 53.89 per cent. beneficial shareholder in CCI and, on Completion, will therefore become an indirect shareholder in Cineworld. As part of the Combination, Mooky Greidinger and Israel Greidinger will join the Board as Chief Executive Officer and Chief Operating Officer of the Enlarged Group, respectively. At the same time, Mooky Greidinger and Israel Greidinger will step down from CCI as its 6 Converted at an exchange rate of 1: 1.2117.

Further details will be provided in the Prospectus. 10 Assuming no further Ordinary Shares other than the Rights Issue Shares are issued from the date of this document until Completion. 14

chief executive officer and chief financial officer, respectively, and will instead take up non-executive roles with CCI. CCI, which, from Completion, will be a related party to the Enlarged Group for the purposes of Chapter 11 of the Listing Rules, will (via other members of the Remaining Cinema City Group) be a party to certain arrangements with the Enlarged Group following Completion including lease arrangements pursuant to which members of the Remaining Cinema City Group will lease seven cinema properties and one office property in Poland, Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Israel to the Enlarged Group. The Reorganisation In anticipation of the Combination, the Existing Cinema City Group is in the process of undertaking an internal reorganisation exercise (the Reorganisation) with the effect that, following completion of the Reorganisation, all of the Cinema City Business will be held by Cinema City Holding, together with other members of the Cinema City Holding Group. As part of the Reorganisation, CCI will (i) transfer all of its Israeli cinema operations to the Cinema City Holding Group by way of a transfer to it of (a) the entire issued share capital of Teleticket Ltd and Norma Film Ltd (together with its subsidiaries), and (b) the cinema-related assets (excluding freehold real estate) and Yes Planet brand owned by IT 2004 (which company will remain within the Remaining Cinema City Group); (ii) assume the outstanding external bank debt of Cinema City Finance; and (iii) transfer Cinema City Finance to Cinema City Holding. In line with Cineworld s existing business model of operating a predominantly leasehold estate, Cineworld will not be acquiring freehold cinema property assets through this Combination. Accordingly, as part of the Reorganisation, all of the freehold real estate (land and buildings) and the related leasehold at AuPark that is currently owned by members of the Cinema City Holding Group (including pursuant to the acquisition of Israel Theatre Real Estate B.V. in December 2012) will not be acquired by Cineworld pursuant to the Combination and the freehold property assets associated with six Cinema City cinema-related propeties (Janki, Katowice, Łódź, Toruń, Galaxie, AuPark) and the related leasehold at AuPark, one office property (in Fosa) and one piece of land (at Gliwice) held by members of the Cinema City Holding Group will be transferred to the Remaining Cinema City Group. Members of the Enlarged Group will continue to operate from all of the cinema and office sites on a leasehold basis and will enter into new leases with the Remaining Cinema City Group in respect of all of these sites (but not in respect of the land at Gliwice) and the Rishon LeZion cinema (owned by IT 2004) pursuant to which it shall incur an initial aggregate annual rental charge of 7,650,000. Shareholder approvals Owing to its size, the Combination constitutes a Class 1 transaction for the purposes of the Listing Rules. The Combination, together with the allotment of the Consideration Shares to CCI pursuant to the terms of the Combination, therefore requires approval from Shareholders. Accordingly, a General Meeting has been convened for 29 January 2014. The Cineworld Directors who hold interests in Existing Ordinary Shares, or, in the case of one director, a discretionary trust through which that director holds his interest, have irrevocably undertaken to vote in favour of, or to procure a vote in favour of, the Resolution to be proposed at the General Meeting to approve the Combination in respect of a total of 3,803,890 Ordinary Shares, representing, in aggregate, approximately 2.54 per cent. of Cineworld s issued share capital. The sale and purchase of the shares in Cinema City Holding will also require the consent of the CCI Shareholders under Dutch law. 15
