ITEM 3 – NON-BINDING, ANNUAL ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

In accordance with Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and as a matter of good corporate governance, we are seeking a non-binding, stockholder advisory vote approving our compensation program for our named executive officers and the compensation paid to our named executive officers for the 2013 fiscal year. The Board believes that our compensation policies and practices attract talented and experienced executives and appropriately motivates them to enhance stockholder value over the short and long terms.

Stockholder Support of Our Executive Compensation

At the annual meeting held in May 2013 (the “2013 Annual Meeting”), our executive compensation program garnered the support of approximately 94% of the stockholders who voted either in person or via proxy at the 2013 Annual Meeting. Given the strong stockholder support, the Compensation Committee did not make any changes to our executive compensation program for the 2013 fiscal year.

Executive Compensation Philosophy and Structure

Our compensation philosophy is to ensure that pay is aligned to performance while being competitive enough to attract and retain executive talent and motivate them to increase stockholder value over the short and long terms.

The Company’s financial performance over the five- year period1 and the long service record of the Company’s named executive officers lend credence to our executive compensation program. The following table contains key summary financial performance in 2012 are as follows:information for each of the last five fiscal years:

¡

Mr. Copple’s annual base salary was increased from $445,877 (at January 1, 2012) to $500,000 as the Board recognized Mr. Copple’s increased leadership role in the Company upon the change in the position of the Chief Executive Officer;

ITEM 4 – RE-APPROVAL OF THE MATERIAL TERMS OF THE PERFORMANCE GOALS UNDER THE AMENDED AND RESTATED 2006 LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

We are submitting the material terms of the performance goals under the Amended and Restated Cinemark Holdings, Inc. 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Restated Incentive Plan”) for stockholder re-approval to meet the requirements under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”).

At the annual meeting of stockholders held in 2008 (the “2008 Annual Meeting”), the stockholders approved, upon recommendation of the Board, the Restated Incentive Plan. The purposes of the Restated Incentive Plan are to enable us to attract and retain the services of eligible plan participants and to provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for our long range success.

Section 162(m) of the Code limits income tax deductibility of compensation in excess of $1 million that is paid to any employee who, as of the close of the taxable year was a “covered employee,” except to the extent the compensation qualifies as “performance-based” as defined under the Code.

We have structured and intend to implement and administer the Restated Incentive Plan so that compensation resulting from stock vesting in accordance with specified performance goals can qualify as “performance-based compensation.” However, the Compensation Committee as the administrator of the Restated Incentive Plan, has the discretion to grant awards with terms that will result in the awards not constituting “performance-based compensation.”

Under Section 162(m) of the Code, we must seek stockholder approval of the material terms of the performance goals applicable to performance awards under the Restated Incentive Plan at five-year intervals to preserve our ability to receive a federal income tax deduction for awards intended to be “performance-based compensation.” Hence, to allow us to qualify certain equity awards as “performance-based compensation,” we are seeking stockholder re-approval of the material terms of the performance goals under the Restated Incentive Plan.

See discussion on page 70 for a summary of the principal terms of the Restated Incentive Plan.

ITEM 5 –APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO AND RE-APPROVAL OF THE MATERIAL TERMS OF THE PERFORMANCE GOALS UNDER THE CINEMARK HOLDINGS, INC. PERFORMANCE BONUS PLAN

We are submitting for stockholder approval an amendment to the Cinemark Holdings, Inc. Performance Bonus Plan (the “Bonus Plan”) that was adopted, subject to stockholder approval, by the Compensation Committee on March 22, 2013. We also are submitting the material terms of the performance goals under the Bonus Plan for stockholder re-approval to meet the requirements under Section 162(m) of the Code.

At the 2008 Annual Meeting, the stockholders approved, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee and the Board, the Bonus Plan. The Bonus Plan enables us to provide an annual cash incentive to executive officers and other selected employees upon attainment of certain performance goals by the Company for the fiscal year. The incentive compensation under the Bonus Plan qualifies as “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code.

Section 162(m) of the Code limits income tax deductibility of compensation in excess of $1 million that is paid to any employee who, as of the close of the taxable year was a “covered employee,” except to the extent the compensation qualifies as “performance-based” as defined under the Code. We have administered the Bonus Plan such that all payments of annual cash bonus qualify as “performance-based.”

8


Under Section 162(m) of the Code, we must seek stockholder approval of the material terms of the performance goals under the Bonus Plan at five-year intervals to preserve our ability to receive a federal income tax deduction for payments under the Bonus Plan. Hence, to allow us to qualify the annual cash bonus as “performance-based compensation,” we are seeking stockholder re-approval of the material terms of the performance goals under the Bonus Plan. The material terms include the maximum amount of compensation payable under the Bonus Plan to any one employee if the performance goals are attained. The amendment to the Bonus Plan adds an additional limit on the maximum bonus amount that may be paid to any employee if the performance goals are attained of $3 million, even if that amount is less than the current limit. Hence, we are seeking stockholder approval of this amendment to the Bonus Plan.

If stockholders fail to approve this proposal, no cash incentive compensation will be paid under the Bonus Plan beginning in 2014. If our stockholders do approve the material terms of the performance goals under the Bonus Plan, we must submit the material terms of the performance goals to our stockholders for re-approval on or before the first stockholder meeting that occurs in the fifth year following this current approval of the material terms of the performance goals under the Bonus Plan.

See discussion on page 76 for a summary of the principal terms of the Restated Incentive Plan.

If any other matters requiring a stockholder vote properly come before the Annual Meeting, those stockholders present at the Annual Meeting and the proxies who have been appointed by our stockholders will vote as they deem appropriate.

 

2.¡What is the Record Date and what does it mean?

The Record Date for the Annual Meeting is April 5, 2013.2, 2014. The Record Date is established by the Board as required by Delaware law. Owners of record of Common Stock at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to:

 

 (a)receive notice of the Annual Meeting, and

 

 (b)vote at the Annual Meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the Annual Meeting.

 

3.¡What is the difference between a stockholder of record and a stockholder who holds stock in street namename??

(a) Stockholder of record: If your shares are registered in your name with our transfer agent, Wells Fargo Shareowner Services, you are a stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As a stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your proxy directly to us or to a third party, or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

 

107


(b) Stockholder who holds stock in street name: If your shares are held by a broker or by a bank, you are considered to be a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name.” As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or bank on how to vote and you are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. Your broker or bank, as the record holder of your shares, may exercise discretionary authority to vote on “routine” proposals but may not vote on “non-routine” proposals. As a beneficial owner, you will not be deemed to have voted on the “non-routine” proposals if you do not instructwithout your broker or bank.instructions.

These proxy materials are being forwarded to you on behalf of your broker or bank. Your broker or bank has enclosed or provided voting instructions for you to use in directing the broker or bank on how to vote your shares. Since a beneficial owner in street name is not the stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the broker or bank that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares at the Annual Meeting.

 

4.¡How many shares must be present to hold the Annual Meeting?

A majority of our outstanding Common Stock as of the Record Date must be present at the Annual Meeting in order to hold the Annual Meeting and conduct business. This is called a “quorum.” Unless a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting, no action may be taken at the Annual Meeting except the adjournment thereof until a later time. Shares are counted as present at the Annual Meeting if you are present and vote in person at the Annual Meeting, if you vote via the Internet, by telephone, or if you are represented by proxy. Abstentions and “broker non-votes” are counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.

 

5.¡What is a proxy and how does the proxy process operate?

A proxy is your legal designation of another person to vote the stock you own. The person(s) that you designate to vote your shares are called proxies. Tim Warner, Robert Copple and Michael Cavalier of the Company have been designated as proxies for the Annual Meeting. The term “proxy” also refers to the written document or “proxy card” that you sign to authorize those persons to vote your shares.

By executing the proxy card, you authorize the above-named individuals to act as your proxies to vote your shares in the manner that you specify. The proxy voting mechanism is vitally important to us. In order for us to obtain the necessary stockholder approval of proposals, a quorum of stockholders must be represented at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy. Since few stockholders can spend the time or money to attend stockholder meetings in person, voting by proxy is necessary to obtain a quorum and complete the stockholder vote. It is important that you attend the Annual Meeting in person or grant a proxy to vote your shares to assure a quorum is obtained so corporate business can be transacted. If a quorum is not obtained, we must postpone the Annual Meeting and solicit additional proxies, which is an expensive and time-consuming process.

 

6.¡What different methods can I use to vote?

If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote:

 

  

Via the Internet or by telephone — In order to vote via the Internet or by telephone, please follow the instructions shown on your proxy card. Votes submitted via the Internet or by telephone must be received by 12 p.m. (noon), CDT, on May 22, 2013.21, 2014. The Internet and telephone voting procedures have been designed to verify stockholders’ identities and allow stockholders to confirm that their voting instructions have been properly recorded;recorded.

 

  

By mail — In order to vote by mail, simply complete, sign, date and return the proxy card in the postage paid envelope provided so that it is received before the Annual Meeting. If the accompanying proxy card is duly executed and returned, the shares of Common Stock represented thereby will be voted in accordance with the Board’s recommendations set forth herein and if you make a specification, the shares of Common Stock will be voted in accordance with such specification.

 

11


  

In person — We will pass out written ballots at the Annual Meeting and you may deliver your completed and signed proxy card in person. Submitting your proxy or voting instructions, whether via the Internet, by telephone, or by mail will not affect your right to vote in person should you decide to attend the Annual Meeting.

8


If you are a beneficial holder, you may vote:

 

  

By instructing your bank or broker— You should receive a voting instruction card from your bank or broker which you must return with your voting instructions to have your shares voted. If you have not received a voting instruction card from your bank or broker, you may contact it directly to provide it with instructions on how you wish to vote. Voting instructions submitted by beneficial owners to brokers or banks via the Internet or by telephone must be received by 12 p.m. (noon), CDT, on May 22, 2013;21, 2014;

 

  

In person — If you wish to vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you will need to obtain a “legal proxy” form from your broker or bank that holds your shares of record and you must bring that document to the Annual Meeting.

 

7.¡What happens if I do not give specific voting instructions?

Stockholder of Record.

If you are a stockholder of record and you:

 

Indicate when voting on the internet or by telephone that you wish to vote as recommended by the Board; or

 

Sign and return a proxy card without specific voting instructions;

ITEM 2 – RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF DELOITTE AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE 2014 FISCAL YEAR

The Audit Committee has appointed and the Board has ratified the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP, the member firms of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, and their respective affiliates (collectively, “Deloitte”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2014 fiscal year. As a matter of good corporate governance, we are seeking stockholder ratification of the appointment of Deloitte. If the stockholders do not ratify the appointment of Deloitte, the Audit Committee may review its future selection of auditors.

One or more representatives of Deloitte are expected to be present at the Annual Meeting. They will have an opportunity to make a statement if they so desire and will be available to answer appropriate questions.

The fees paid to Deloitte during the 2013 fiscal year are detailed on page 27.

ITEM 3 – NON-BINDING, ANNUAL ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

In accordance with Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and as a matter of good corporate governance, we are seeking a non-binding, stockholder advisory vote approving our compensation program for our named executive officers and the compensation paid to our named executive officers for the 2013 fiscal year. The Board believes that our compensation policies and practices attract talented and experienced executives and appropriately motivates them to enhance stockholder value over the short and long terms.

Stockholder Support of Our Executive Compensation

At the annual meeting held in May 2013 (the “2013 Annual Meeting”), our executive compensation program garnered the support of approximately 94% of the stockholders who voted either in person or via proxy at the 2013 Annual Meeting. Given the strong stockholder support, the Compensation Committee did not make any changes to our executive compensation program for the 2013 fiscal year.

Executive Compensation Philosophy and Structure

Our compensation philosophy is to ensure that pay is aligned to performance while being competitive enough to attract and retain executive talent and motivate them to increase stockholder value over the short and long terms.

The Company’s financial performance over the five- year period1 and the long service record of the Company’s named executive officers lend credence to our executive compensation program. The following table contains key summary financial information for each of the last five fiscal years:

Your broker or bank may vote your shares in its discretion on some “routine matters”. However, with respect to “non-routine matters”, your broker or bank may not vote your shares for you. With respect to these “non-routine matters”, the aggregate number of unvoted shares is reported as “broker non-votes”.

8.What are broker non-votes?

If you are the beneficial owner of shares and hold stock in street name, then the broker or bank, as the stockholderrecord holder of record of theyour shares, may exercise discretionary authority to vote on “routine” proposals but may not vote on “non-routine” proposals without your instructions.

These proxy materials are being forwarded to you on behalf of your broker or bank. Your broker or bank has enclosed or provided voting instructions for you to use in directing the broker or bank on how to vote your shares.

A broker non-vote occurs when you do not provideat the broker with voting instructions on “non-routine” matters for shares owned by you but held in the name of the broker. For such matters, the broker cannot vote and reports the number of such shares as “broker non-votes.”Annual Meeting.

“Broker non-votes”A majority of our outstanding Common Stock as of the Record Date must be present at the Annual Meeting in order to hold the Annual Meeting and abstentionsconduct business. This is called a “quorum.” Unless a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting, no action may be taken at the Annual Meeting except the adjournment thereof until a later time. Shares are counted as present at the Annual Meeting if you are present and vote in person at the Annual Meeting, if you vote via the Internet, by telephone, or if you are represented by proxy. Abstentions and “broker non-votes” are counted as present for purposesthe purpose of determining the presence of a quorum. However, see responses to question numbers 10 and 11 with regards to the effect of “broker non-votes” and abstentions on approval of specific agenda items.

 

10.¡Which ballot measures are called “routine” or “non-routine”What is a proxy and how does the proxy process operate?

UnderA proxy is your legal designation of another person to vote the broker voting rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche as the Company’s independent registered public accountant for the fiscal year

2013 (Item 2) is considered a “routine” matter. “Broker non-votes” will not arise in the context of Item 2 as brokers may exercise discretionary authoritystock you own. The person(s) that you designate to vote your shares on Item 2.

Under the broker voting rulesare called proxies. Tim Warner, Robert Copple and Michael Cavalier of the NYSE,Company have been designated as proxies for the election ofAnnual Meeting. The term “proxy” also refers to the directors (Item 1),written document or “proxy card” that you sign to authorize those persons to vote your shares.

By executing the advisoryproxy card, you authorize the above-named individuals to act as your proxies to vote on executive compensation (Item 3),your shares in the re-approval ofmanner that you specify. The proxy voting mechanism is vitally important to us. In order for us to obtain the material terms of the performance goals under the Restated Incentive Plan (Item 4) and thenecessary stockholder approval of an amendment to and re-approvalproposals, a quorum of stockholders must be represented at the material terms of the performance goals under the Bonus Plan (Item 5) are considered “non-routine” matters. As a consequence, brokers will not be able to vote on Item 1, Item 3, Item 4 and Item 5 without receiving instructions from the beneficial owners. As a result, “broker non-votes” could arise in the context of these proposals.

11.What is the voting requirement for each of the proposals?

Approval of Item 1: Directors are elected by a plurality of all of the votes cast,Annual Meeting in person or by proxy. Votes marked “For” Item 1 will be countedSince few stockholders can spend the time or money to attend stockholder meetings in favor of all nominees. The three nominees receiving the highest number of affirmative votes of the shares entitled to vote will be elected as directors to serve until the next annual meeting of stockholders and until their successors are duly elected and qualified. Therefore, votes withheld from a nominee do not have any effect. Also, since this proposal is considered a “non-routine” matter, “broker non-votes” may arise.

Approval of Item 2: The ratification of the appointment of Deloitte & Touche requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present or representedperson, voting by proxy is necessary to obtain a quorum and voting atcomplete the stockholder vote. It is important that you attend the Annual Meeting. Since this proposal is consideredMeeting in person or grant a “routine” matter, “broker non-votes” do not arise and brokers may exercise discretionary authorityproxy to vote your shares. Abstention will have the same effect asshares to assure a voteagainstthis proposal. Therefore, abstentions might prevent the approval of Item 2 if the number of affirmative votes doesquorum is obtained so corporate business can be transacted. If a quorum is not constitute a majority of the shares of Common Stock present or represented by proxy and voting atobtained, we must postpone the Annual Meeting.

Approval of Item 3: The advisory votes on executive compensation requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present or represented by proxyMeeting and voting at the Annual Meeting. Since this proposalsolicit additional proxies, which is considered a “non-routine” matter, “broker non-votes” may arisean expensive and abstentions and “broker non-votes” could prevent the approval of this Item.

Approval of Item 4: The re-approval of the material terms of the performance goals under the Restated Incentive Plan requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present or represented by proxy and voting at the Annual Meeting.

ITEM 2 – RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF DELOITTE AS OUR INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE 2014 FISCAL YEAR

The Audit Committee has appointed and the Board has ratified the appointment of Deloitte & Touche LLP, the member firms of Deloitte Touche Tohmatsu, and their respective affiliates (collectively, “Deloitte”) as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2014 fiscal year. As a matter of good corporate governance, we are seeking stockholder ratification of the appointment of Deloitte. If the stockholders do not ratify the appointment of Deloitte, the Audit Committee may review its future selection of auditors.

ITEM 3 – NON-BINDING, ANNUAL ADVISORY VOTE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

In accordance with Section 14A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and as a matter of good corporate governance, we are seeking a non-binding, stockholder advisory vote approving our compensation program for our named executive officers and the compensation paid to our named executive officers for the 2013 fiscal year. The Board believes that our compensation policies and practices attract talented and experienced executives and appropriately motivates them to enhance stockholder value over the short and long terms.

Stockholder Support of Our Executive Compensation

At the annual meeting held in May 2013 (the “2013 Annual Meeting”), our executive compensation program garnered the support of approximately 94% of the stockholders who voted either in person or via proxy at the 2013 Annual Meeting. Given the strong stockholder support, the Compensation Committee did not make any changes to our executive compensation program for the 2013 fiscal year.

Executive Compensation Philosophy and Structure

Our compensation philosophy is to ensure that pay is aligned to performance while being competitive enough to attract and retain executive talent and motivate them to increase stockholder value over the short and long terms.

The Company’s financial performance over the five- year period1 and the long service record of the Company’s named executive officers lend credence to our executive compensation program. The following table contains key summary financial information for each of the last five fiscal years:

GENERAL INFORMATION

Shares Outstanding and Voting Rights

As of April 2, 2014, 115,689,880 shares of the Company’s Common Stock were outstanding. The Common Stock constitutes the only class of voting securities of the Company. Only stockholders of record as of the close of business on April 2, 2014 (the“Record Date”) are entitled to receive notice of, and to vote at the Annual Meeting. Holders of Common Stock are entitled to one vote for each share so held.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT

THE MEETING AND VOTING

¡What is the purpose of holding the Annual Meeting?

We are holding the Annual Meeting to elect three Class I directors, to ratify the selection of Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2014 fiscal year and to hold a non-binding, advisory vote of stockholders on our executive compensation program and the compensation paid to our named executive officers for the 2013 fiscal year. Our Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the Board (the “Governance Committee”) has recommended the nominees to our Board and our Board has nominated the nominees. Our Audit Committee has appointed Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2014 fiscal year and our Board has ratified the appointment. Our Compensation Committee has approved our executive compensation program and the Board has recommended that the stockholders vote to approve our executive compensation program and the compensation paid to our named executive officers for the 2013 fiscal year. If any other matters requiring a stockholder vote properly come before the Annual Meeting, those stockholders present at the Annual Meeting and the proxies who have been appointed by our stockholders will vote as they deem appropriate.

¡What is the Record Date and what does it mean?

The Record Date for the Annual Meeting is April 2, 2014. The Record Date is established by the Board as required by Delaware law. Owners of record of Common Stock at the close of business on the Record Date are entitled to:

(a)receive notice of the Annual Meeting, and

(b)vote at the Annual Meeting and any adjournments or postponements of the Annual Meeting.

¡What is the difference between a stockholder of record and a stockholder who holds stock in street name?

(a) Stockholder of record: If your shares are registered in your name with our transfer agent, Wells Fargo Shareowner Services, you are a stockholder of record with respect to those shares. As a stockholder of record, you have the right to grant your proxy directly to us or to a third party, or to vote in person at the Annual Meeting.

7


(b) Stockholder who holds stock in street name: If your shares are held by a broker or by a bank, you are considered to be a beneficial owner of shares held in “street name.” As the beneficial owner, you have the right to direct your broker or bank on how to vote and you are also invited to attend the Annual Meeting. Your broker or bank, as the record holder of your shares, may exercise discretionary authority to vote on “routine” proposals but may not vote on “non-routine” proposals without your instructions.

These proxy materials are being forwarded to you on behalf of your broker or bank. Your broker or bank has enclosed or provided voting instructions for you to use in directing the broker or bank on how to vote your shares. Since a beneficial owner in street name is not the stockholder of record, you may not vote these shares in person at the Annual Meeting unless you obtain a “legal proxy” from the broker or bank that holds your shares, giving you the right to vote the shares at the Annual Meeting.

¡How many shares must be present to hold the Annual Meeting?

A majority of our outstanding Common Stock as of the Record Date must be present at the Annual Meeting in order to hold the Annual Meeting and conduct business. This is called a “quorum.” Unless a quorum is present at the Annual Meeting, no action may be taken at the Annual Meeting except the adjournment thereof until a later time. Shares are counted as present at the Annual Meeting if you are present and vote in person at the Annual Meeting, if you vote via the Internet, by telephone, or if you are represented by proxy. Abstentions and “broker non-votes” are counted as present for the purpose of determining the presence of a quorum.

¡What is a proxy and how does the proxy process operate?

A proxy is your legal designation of another person to vote the stock you own. The person(s) that you designate to vote your shares are called proxies. Tim Warner, Robert Copple and Michael Cavalier of the Company have been designated as proxies for the Annual Meeting. The term “proxy” also refers to the written document or “proxy card” that you sign to authorize those persons to vote your shares.

By executing the proxy card, you authorize the above-named individuals to act as your proxies to vote your shares in the manner that you specify. The proxy voting mechanism is vitally important to us. In order for us to obtain the necessary stockholder approval of proposals, a quorum of stockholders must be represented at the Annual Meeting in person or by proxy. Since few stockholders can spend the time or money to attend stockholder meetings in person, voting by proxy is necessary to obtain a quorum and complete the stockholder vote. It is important that you attend the Annual Meeting in person or grant a proxy to vote your shares to assure a quorum is obtained so corporate business can be transacted. If a quorum is not obtained, we must postpone the Annual Meeting and solicit additional proxies, which is an expensive and time-consuming process.

¡What different methods can I use to vote?

If you are a stockholder of record, you may vote:

Via the Internet or by telephone — In order to vote via the Internet or by telephone, please follow the instructions shown on your proxy card. Votes submitted via the Internet or by telephone must be received by 12 p.m. (noon), CDT, on May 21, 2014. The Internet and telephone voting procedures have been designed to verify stockholders’ identities and allow stockholders to confirm that their voting instructions have been properly recorded.

By mail — In order to vote by mail, simply complete, sign, date and return the proxy card in the postage paid envelope provided so that it is received before the Annual Meeting. If the accompanying proxy card is duly executed and returned, the shares of Common Stock represented thereby will be voted in accordance with the Board’s recommendations set forth herein and if you make a specification, the shares of Common Stock will be voted in accordance with such specification.

In person — We will pass out written ballots at the Annual Meeting and you may deliver your completed and signed proxy card in person. Submitting your proxy or voting instructions, whether via the Internet, by telephone, or by mail will not affect your right to vote in person should you decide to attend the Annual Meeting.

8


If you are a beneficial holder, you may vote:

By instructing your bank or broker— You should receive a voting instruction card from your bank or broker which you must return with your voting instructions to have your shares voted. If you have not received a voting instruction card from your bank or broker, you may contact it directly to provide instructions on how you wish to vote. Voting instructions submitted by beneficial owners to brokers or banks via the Internet or by telephone must be received by 12 p.m. (noon), CDT, on May 21, 2014;

In person — If you wish to vote in person at the Annual Meeting, you will need to obtain a “legal proxy” form from your broker or bank that holds your shares of record and you must bring that document to the Annual Meeting.

¡What happens if I do not give specific voting instructions?

Stockholder of Record.

If you are a stockholder of record and you:

Indicate when voting on the internet or by telephone that you wish to vote as recommended by the Board; or

Sign and return a proxy card without specific voting instructions;

then the proxy holders will vote your shares in the manner recommended by the Board on all matters presented in this proxy statement and as the proxy holders may determine in their discretion with respect to any other matters properly presented for a vote at the Annual Meeting.

Beneficial Owner.

If you own shares through a broker or bank and do not provide voting instructions to the broker or bank holding your shares, your broker or bank may represent your shares at the Annual Meeting for purposes of obtaining a quorum. Your broker or bank may vote your shares in its discretion on some “routine matters”. However, with respect to “non-routine matters”, your broker or bank may not vote your shares for you. With respect to these “non-routine matters”, the aggregate number of unvoted shares is reported as “broker non-votes”.

¡What are broker non-votes?

If you are the beneficial owner of shares and hold stock in street name, then the broker or bank, as the stockholder of record of the shares, may exercise discretionary authority to vote your shares with respect to “routine” matters but will not be permitted to vote the shares with respect to “non-routine” matters. A broker non-vote occurs when you do not provide the broker with voting instructions on “non-routine” matters for shares owned by you but held in the name of the broker. For such matters, the broker cannot vote and reports the number of such shares as “broker non-votes.”

¡How are “broker non-votes” and abstentions treated?

“Broker non-votes” and abstentions are counted for purposes of determining a quorum. However, see below with regards to the effect of “broker non-votes” and abstentions on approval of specific agenda items.

¡Which ballot measures are called “routine” or “non-routine”?

Under the broker voting rules of the New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”), the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm for the 2014 fiscal year (Item 2) is considered a “routine” matter. “Broker non-votes” will not arise in the context of Item 2 as brokers may exercise discretionary authority to vote your shares on Item 2.

Under the broker voting rules of the NYSE, the election of directors (Item 1) and the non-binding, annual advisory vote on executive compensation (Item 3) are considered “non-routine” matters. As a consequence, brokers will not be able to vote on Item 1 and Item 3 without receiving instructions from the beneficial owners. As a result, “broker non-votes” could arise in the context of these proposals.

9


¡What is the voting requirement for each of the proposals?

Approval of Item 1: Beginning the Annual Meeting, pursuant to the Company’s Fourth Amended and Restated Corporate Governance Guidelines (the “Corporate Governance Guidelines”), the Board has adopted a form of majority voting standard for uncontested director elections that is sometimes referred to as a “plurality plus” standard. Under this “plurality plus” standard if a director nominee does not receive a majority of the “for” votes cast in an uncontested director election, then the director nominee shall promptly tender his resignation from the Board and all committees of the Board following certification of the results of the Annual Meeting by the Inspector of Elections. The Governance Committee (excluding the nominee in question if applicable) would then consider the resignation offer and make a recommendation to the Board as to whether to accept or reject the resignation, or whether to take other action such as allowing the director to continue to serve on the Board as a “holdover director” as permitted by Delaware corporate law. Within 90 days following certification of the stockholder vote, the Board will make a final determination as to whether to accept the director’s resignation. The Board’s explanation of its decision would then be promptly disclosed in a Form 8-K filed with the SEC.

Votes marked “For” Item 1 will be counted in favor of all director nominees.

Approval of Item 2: The ratification of the appointment of Deloitte requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present or represented by proxy and voting at the Annual Meeting. Since this proposal is considered a “routine” matter, “broker non-votes” do not arise and brokers and banks may exercise discretionary authority to vote your shares. Abstention will have the same effect as a voteagainstthis proposal. Therefore, abstentions might prevent the approval of Item 2 if the number of affirmative votes does not constitute a majority of the shares of Common Stock present or represented by proxy and voting at the Annual Meeting.

Approval of Item 3: The advisory vote on executive compensation requires the affirmative vote of a majority of the shares present or represented by proxy and voting at the Annual Meeting. Since this proposal is considered a “non-routine” matter, “broker non-votes” may arise and abstentions and “broker non-votes” could prevent the approval of this Item.

¡How does the Board recommend I vote?

The Board recommends that you vote:

FOR each of the nominees for director;

FOR the ratification of the appointment of Deloitte as our independent registered public accounting firm for the 2014 fiscal year; and

FOR the non-binding, advisory vote to approve our executive compensation.

¡Can I revoke or change my proxy?If so, how?

You may revoke your proxy and change your vote at any time before the proxy has been exercised at the Annual Meeting.

If you are a stockholder of record, your proxy can be revoked in several ways:

by timely delivery of a written revocation to the Company Secretary;

by submitting another valid proxy bearing a later date; or

by attending the Annual Meeting in person and giving the inspector of election notice that you intend to vote your shares in person.

If your shares are held in street name, you must contact your broker or bank in order to revoke your proxy. Generally, you may change your vote by submitting new voting instructions to your broker or bank, or, by attending the Annual Meeting and voting in person if you have obtained a “legal proxy” from your broker or bank giving you the right to vote your shares.

10


¡Who counts the votes?

The Company has retained a representative of Wells Fargo Shareowner Services to serve as an independent tabulator to receive and tabulate the proxies and as an independent inspector of election to certify the results.

¡Who pays for this proxy solicitation?

The Company pays for this proxy solicitation. We use our transfer agent, its agents, and brokers to distribute all proxy materials to our stockholders. We will pay them a fee and reimburse any expenses they incur in making the distribution. Proxies will be solicited on behalf of the Board by mail, telephone, other electronic means or in person. We have retained D.F. King & Co., Inc., 48 Wall Street, 22nd Floor, New York, NY 10005, to assist with the solicitation for a fee of $7,000 plus reasonable out-of-pocket expenses.

The Board reviews our long-term strategic plans and exercises oversight over all major decisions, such as acquisitions, the declaration of dividends, major capital expenditures and the establishment of key Company policies.

Board Leadership Structure

SinceWe believe that a key factor in a company’s performance is a leadership structure that provides a balance between independent oversight by an engaged Board and day-to-day operations by management to implement the Board’s strategic vision. To achieve this balance, since December 2006, we have split the roles of the Chairman of the Board and the Chief Executive Officer.Officer such that the Board is separated from the day-to-day operations of the Company. This structure has served us well. Lee Roy Mitchell, the founder of the Company, had been Chairman and Chief Executive Officer since the Company’s inception until December 2006, when the Board deemed it to be in the best interest of the Company to separate the two positions. Mr. Mitchell is currently the executive Chairman of the Board and Mr. Warner is the Chief Executive Officer. The Board believes that this structure is appropriate for the Company. As the founder of the Company with more than 50 years of experience in the movie exhibition industry, Mr. Mitchell is uniquely positioned to lead the Board as well as to guide the Company’s management team in strategic planning. Mr. Mitchell is assisted by Board members, each of whom has extensive experience in sectors that are relevant to the Company’s business.

SeeCompensation Risk Assessment section of the Compensation Discussion and Analysis (the “CD&A”) for more detail on how the Compensation Committee mitigates risk without diminishing the incentive nature of compensation.

During 2013, the Board established two new committees – the Strategic Long-Range Planning Committee and the New Ventures Committee – to further enhance the Board’s risk oversight function. The Strategic Long-Range Planning Committee provides oversight of the risks associated with strategic planning by assisting management in the analysis of alternative strategic options and reviewing with management the key industry and market issues and external developments impacting the Company. The New Ventures Committee provides guidance on business development initiatives and growth opportunities for the Company.

We use traditional compensation elements of annual base salary, annual cash incentives, long-term incentives, and employee benefits to deliver competitive and performance-based compensation. All our pay decisions for the executive officers are made solely by our Compensation Committee with input from the Chief Executive Officer (other than for himself). In evaluating the appropriateness of pay of the named executive officers, in addition to individual roles and responsibilities, the Compensation Committee takes into consideration compensation data for similarly placed executives in companies within our compensation peer group.

Stockholder Support of Executive Compensation

At the 2012 Annual Meeting, the 2012 Say-On-Pay garnered the support of approximately 99% of the Company’s stockholders who voted at the 2012 Annual Meeting either in person or via proxy. Hence, the Compensation Committee did not make any structural change to our executive compensation program in 2012.

Company Performance Highlights in 2012

The fiscal year ended December 31, 2012 was another successful year for the Company. We achieved a 6.6% increase in worldwide attendance and set a Company record of 263.7 million patrons. We also reached a milestone in Latin America, surpassing 100 million patrons. Our worldwide admission revenues increased 7.4% in 2012, outperforming the estimated North American industry box office by approximately 130 basis points. In 2012, we continued to be the #1 attended worldwide exhibitor.

Some of the key indicators of the Company’s financial health and performance over the five year fiscal period, 2008-2012 are as follows:

The Company’s revenues for the year ended December 31, 2012 increased 8.5% to $2,473.5 million from $2,279.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 and 42% from $1,742.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2008.

Some of the other highlights of the Company’s performance in 2012 were as follows:

Adjusted EBITDA for the year ended December 31, 2012 increased 13.4% to $589.2 million from $519.5 million for the year ended December 31, 20112;

The Company also strengthened its performance over the past five years relative to its peers. The one- year, three- year and five- year TSR for the Company are 45.1%, 99% and 76.6% respectively. We compare our financial performance against our direct competitors in the movie exhibition industry (referred to as the ‘performance peer group”). Our performance peer group includes the three publicly-held companies in our industry, namely, Regal Entertainment Group (RGC), Carmike (CKEC) and IMAX Corporation (IMAX). We believe that our custom performance peer group is an appropriate benchmark for evaluating our fiscal performance since we directly compete with these companies for business and investor capital. The Company’s cumulative total return between 2008 and 2012 as compared to the performance peer group and S&P 500 is presented below.

LOGO

Through our performance we have established ourselves as one of the industry leaders. We believe hiring, motivating and retaining one of the best executive management teams in the industry has given us the leadership that is required to achieve high performance levels. Headed by the Chairman of the Board and the founder of the Company, Lee Roy Mitchell, our executive management team brings experience and industry knowledge that is

33


quite unique. Our named executive officers have made their careers in the movie-exhibition industry and their experience ranges from 16 to 54 years with the Company.industry. Our management team has successfully navigated us through many industry and economic cycles. At Cinemark, we view our employees as an “investment” for the future. We invest in our employees for future opportunity to deliver more value to our stockholders and patrons.

Key Governance Features of Executive Compensation

Change-in-Control Policy: The change-in-control payment provision in the employment agreements of the executive officers is subject to a “double trigger”. In the event of a change-in-control, compensation and benefits vest only if the executive officer’s employment is involuntarily terminated, without cause, or where a participant terminates employment for good reason, within one year of the change-in-control event. There is no “golden parachute” excise tax gross-up in the event of a change-in-control.

There is no change-in-control provision in Mr. Mitchell’s employment agreement.

Deferred Compensation and Pension Plans: We do not have any deferred compensation or pension plans.

Bonus Cap: Annual cash incentive bonus payments capped at the lesser of 200% of annual base salary or $3 million.

Securities Trading Policy: Pursuant to our Supplemental Policy Concerning Trading In Company Securities By Certain Designated Persons (“Supplemental Insider Trading Policy”), our named executive officers and certain other persons are prohibited from engaging in short sales of Company securities or engaging in purchases or sales of puts, calls or other derivative securities with respect to Company securities. This prohibition is based on our belief that such transactions focus attention on the Company’s short-term performance rather than its long-term objectives.

The Supplemental Insider Trading Policy also prohibits certain forms of hedging transactions, such as zero-cost collars and forward sale contracts. Such hedging does not expose the person hedging to the full risks of stock ownership.

The named executive officers and certain other persons also cannot hold Company securities in a margin account or pledge Company securities as collateral for a loan (unless the covered person can clearly demonstrate the financial capacity to repay the non-margin loan without resorting to the pledged securities).

Consideration of Say-on-Pay Voting Results

At the 2011 annual meeting, the Board recommended and the majority of the stockholders approved an annual ‘Say-on-Pay’ vote. Therefore, we have held annual ‘Say-on-Pay’ votes and our executive compensation program has consistently received strong support of our stockholders. At the 2013 Annual Meeting, our executive compensation program garnered the support of approximately 94% of the stockholders who voted either in person or via proxy at the 2013 Annual Meeting. Given the strong stockholder support of our executive compensation program, the Compensation Committee did not make any changes to the design of our executive compensation program for the 2013 fiscal year.

Company Performance Highlights in 2013

Our Company accomplished a great deal in 2013, illustrating the depth, talent and dedication of our team led by our executive officers. During the 2013 fiscal year Cinemark’s worldwide attendance set a new all-time high of 276.6 million patrons, an increase of 4.9% from 2012. We leveraged the attendance increase while simultaneously managing costs resulting in an all-time high Adjusted EBITDA of $625.3 million4. Our full-year box office growth of 8.0% over-indexed the estimated North American industry by 700 basis points.

Cash and Cash Equivalents:

Cash and cash equivalents of the Company as of December 31, 2013 was $599.9 million compared to $742.7 million as of December 31, 2012. The decrease in cash in the 2013 fiscal year primarily resulted from the acquisition of the ‘Rave’ and ‘Signature’ branded theatres for approximately $236.9 million and $22.4 million respectively, partially offset by the proceeds of the sale of our Mexican operations for approximately $126.2 million. Over the three- year and five- year periods, cash and cash equivalents of the Company increased by approximately 15.1% to $599.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2013 from $521.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 and by approximately 37% from $437.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2009.

Overall, during the 2013 fiscal year, the Company continued its accretive and organic growth and increasing stockholder value. Some of the highlights of the Company’s growth during the 2013 fiscal year are as follows:

Acquisition of the 32 Rave branded theatres which would rank as the 7th largest circuit in the US;

Opening of 23 new build theatres and 196 screens worldwide, equivalent to about the 20th largest North American circuit;

Expanding our premium large format Extreme Digital (XD) screen footprint with an additional 47 screens worldwide, recognizing 46% growth in one year;

Digitizing 86% of our international screens; and

Laying the groundwork for alternative content expansion with the rollout of satellite delivery platform through Digital Cinema Distribution Coalition.

Spin-off of the Fathom business unit of NCM, Inc. into a joint venture for continued development and enhancement of alternative content.

Performance Graph

The Company’s financial performance relative to its peers has been very strong over the past five years. The Company’s TSR (with dividends reinvested) for the one- year, cumulative three- year and cumulative five- year period are at 31.8%, 109.6% and 405.8% respectively.

We compare our financial performance against our direct competitors in the movie exhibition industry (referred to as the “performance peer group”). Our performance peer group includes the three publicly-held companies (from 2009 through December 31, 2013) in our industry, namely, Regal Entertainment Group (RGC), Carmike (CKEC) and IMAX Corporation (IMAX). While AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (AMC) is currently a publicly-held company, its data was not available for the period 2009 to 2013 since it became public in December 2013. Hence, AMC was not included in the performance peer group. We believe that this peer group is an appropriate benchmark for evaluating our fiscal performance since we directly compete with these companies for business and investor capital. The Company’s cumulative total return between 2009 and 2013 as compared to the performance peer group and S&P 500 is presented below.

Equity Awards:

OurThe Restated Incentive Plan provides for the award of both time-based and performance-based equity grants. The Compensation Committee has determined that time-based equity awards is an appropriate vehicle for retention of executive management and rewarding performance over the short-term while performance-based equity awards provide a strong link to motivation for sustained performance. As discussed in greater detail in the sectionDesign of the Executive Compensation Program –Equity Incentive Compensation, every year the Compensation Committee makes a determination of the appropriate mix of time-based and performance-based compensation elements in light of the strategic plans and goals for the current and forthcoming years to balance the objectives of our executive compensation program.

In 2012,2013, the Compensation Committee madetime-based and performance-based awards were granted as a 50/50 mix at the determination to award time-based restricted stock at a higher percentage than performance-based awards. This determination was based upontarget level with the recognitionvalue of the strong performancepotential maximum level of performance-based equity grant at 150% of the Companyvalue of the time-based equity grant. This distribution of equity grants is consistent with our compensation philosophy to motivate our executive officers to increase stockholder value over the prior years, considerationterm long term while still providing incentive for continuity and short-term performance.

The Process of Setting Executive Compensation

How Do We Set Executive Compensation?

Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is responsible for:

 

establishing, evaluating and overseeing the Company’s compensation program;

 

determining the compensation of each of the named executive officers;

 

determining the compensation of the other executive officers and other senior officers as it deems appropriate;

 

establishing certain business criteria and performance targets relevant to the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers and evaluating their performance against such business criteria and performance targets; and

 

approving the grant of all equity and non-equity based compensation.

The Compensation Committee establishes the compensation of the Chief Executive Officer without management input, but may be assisted in this determination by outside compensation consultants. In establishing the compensation of the named executive officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer) and the other executive officers, the Compensation Committee may consider the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer and input received from the compensation consultants.

While the Compensation Committee may consider input provided by the Board, the decisions regarding annual cash incentive compensationbonus and long-term equity incentive compensation are made solely by the Compensation Committee.

Compensation Consultant. The Compensation Committee Charter authorizeshas the sole authority under the Compensation Committee Charter, to the extent it deems appropriate, to retain one or more compensation consultantsconsultants. The Compensation Committee also has the right to assistreceive information it deems pertinent from management, employees, outside counsel and other advisers. None of our executive officers are involved in the evaluationCompensation Committee’s determination of their own compensation. Typically, the compensation consultant makes recommendations regarding the design of the Company’s executive compensation. Sincecompensation program and individual compensation levels of the named executive officers. Such recommendations are based on market analyses data, peer company compensation data and other published sources.

From 2007 to 2013, the Compensation Committee has authorized the Company management to engage the outside compensation consultant, Longnecker & Associates (“L&A”), as the outside compensation consultant.

In 2013, the Compensation Committee adopted enhanced independence standards for outside consultants that mirror the NYSE listing standards which establishes an assessment framework to review executive compensation annuallyconfirm and make recommendations regardingreport on a consultant’s independence. In light of the new NYSE listing standards, the Compensation Committee evaluated the independence of L&A. In connection with this process, the Compensation Committee has reviewed, among other items, a questionnaire executed by L&A addressing its independence and that of the members of the consulting team, including the following factors: (i) other services provided to the Company by L&A, (ii) fees paid by the Company as a percentage of L&A’s total revenue, (iii) policies or procedures of L&A that are designed to prevent conflicts of interest, (iv) any business or personal relationships between any of the members of the consulting team and a member of the Compensation Committee or any of the Company’s executive compensation program.

Pursuant to the rulesofficers, and (v) any Company stock owned by any of the SEC and NYSE,members of the Board has determined that L&A is independent of management and the Compensation Committee. L&A provides toconsulting team or any immediate family member. Based upon this review, the Compensation Committee concluded that the work performed by L&A and the members of the consulting team involved in the engagement did not raise any conflict of interest.

In November 2013, the Compensation Committee engaged Pay Governance LLC (“Pay Governance”) as the executive compensation data (including data provided by management) based upon review of compensation practices at appropriate peer companies and market survey.consultant. The Compensation Committee reviews and discussesreviewed the datanature of its relationship with L&A and makes determinations of compensation levels of the executive officers. L&A does not provide any other servicesrespect to the Companyindependence of Pay Governance using the same questionnaire and works withfactors described above and concluded that the Company’s management only on matters for whichengagement of Pay Governance did not raise any conflict of interest. In November 2013 Pay Governance advised the Compensation Committee is responsible. The consultant was re-engaged by management to make recommendations regarding the 2012 compensationMr. Warner’s Second Amended Agreement and Mr. Copple’s Amended and Restated Employment Agreement effective January 21, 2014 (the “Restated Employment Agreement”), and market competitive pay levels of thefor other named executive officers.officers for the 2014 fiscal year.

Role of the Chief Executive Officer. In making compensation decisions for executive officers, the Compensation Committee solicits the views of our Chief Executive Officer and Management. As part of our annual budget and performance review, the compensation consultant. The Chief Executive Officer conducts a review of the aggregate level of our executive compensation. The review considers financialis not present during Compensation Committee meetings and non- financial criteria to measure our performance against internal goals and the

Annually, the Chief Executive Officer providesdoes not make recommendations to the Compensation Committee for specific levels of annual base salary, target levels for annual performance-based cash incentive payments and long-term equity based compensation of the executive officers (other than for himself). Management also provides to the Compensation Committee data related to the competitive market for executives, compensation levels and compensation practices of companies in the theatrical exhibition industry and companies of comparable size and financial performance with whom we may compete for talent. All decisions with regards to executive compensation are made solely by the Compensation Committee.about his own compensation.

Design of the Executive Compensation Program

The principal elementsdesign of our executive compensation are as follows:is simple and is consistent with the compensation structure in our industry:

 

annual base salaries;salary;

 

time-based equity award vesting over a four-year period;

40


annual performance-based cash incentive compensation or annual cash bonus;

performance-based equity award vesting after a performance period and an additional year of employment; and

 

equity-based incentive compensation (time-based and performance-based awards).limited perquisites.

Generally, totalAnnual base salary is the only fixed component of the summary compensation of allan executive officersas its value is distributed betweennot subject to Company performance or fluctuation in the three elements.price of our Common Stock. Annual cash incentive bonus and equity awards are the variable components of compensation. We believe thisthe distribution between fixed and variable components maintainsoffers a competitive compensation program while appropriately mitigating risk. Annual base salary and time-based equity awards are the fixed components of the total compensation of an executive as such components are subject only to the continued employment of the executive. Cash bonus and performance-based equity awards are the variable components as the amounts of such compensation are subject to Company performance over a one- and three- year period respectively.

Base Salary

The annual base salary represents minimum payment for a satisfactory level of individual performance for the duration of employment with the Company. The Compensation Committee seeks to keep annual base salary competitive to help attract and retain qualified executives. Annual base salaries for the executive officers are determined by the Compensation Committee based on a variety of factors including:

 

nature and responsibility of the position;

 

expertise of the individual executive;

 

competitiveness of the market for the executive’s services;

 

potential for driving the Company’s success in the future;

 

peer compensation data;

 

the performance reviews and recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer (except in the case of his own compensation); and

 

other judgmental factors deemed relevant by the Compensation Committee such as recommendations of the compensation consultant.

TheHowever, the Compensation Committee has not adopted any formula with specific weightings assigned to any of the factors above.

As of December 31, 2012,2013, the Company had employment agreements with certain executive officers - Messers. Mitchell, Warner, Copple, Cavalier, Fernandes, Bunnell and Carmony. Under the employment agreements, the annual base salaries are subject to annual review by the Compensation Committee and can be increased but not decreased.

The average increase in the annual base salaries of the executive officers, other than the named executive officers, in 2012 was approximately 4%.

SeeSummary Compensation Table for 2012Annual Cash Incentive Bonus on page 54 for the annual base salaries paid to the named executive officers in 2012.

Cash Incentive Compensation

At the 20082013 Annual Meeting, the stockholders approvedre-approved the Cinemark Holdings, Inc. Performance Bonus Plan (the “Bonus Plan”) pursuant to which the Company pays a performance-based annual cash incentive compensation pursuant to the Bonus Plan.bonus. In setting total compensation, the Compensation Committee considers an annual cash incentives based on the Company’s annual performanceincentive bonus to be an important tool in motivating and rewarding performance over the performance of the participants to the Bonus Plan.short-term. The objective of the Bonus Plan is to make annual cash incentive bonus paymentspayouts to individualsparticipants to the Bonus Plan based on the achievement by the Company of certain pre-established performance metrics set as goals for the Company to achieve during the fiscal year that would contribute to the growth, profitability and increased value of the Company.year. However, while the annual cash incentive bonus provides an additional compensation opportunity it also subjects the Bonus Plan participant to the financial risks of the Company. Consequently, annual cash incentive bonus percentages are commensurate with the participant’s position and potential impact on the Company’s performance. As such, the named executive officers and certain other executive officers have a higher target annual cash incentive bonus opportunity as compared to other participants. The Compensation Committee has determined that the positions of

41


the Chairman of the Board, and that of the Chief Executive Officer, President, Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer have the greatest management and oversight responsibilities in directing the Company’s growth. Consequently, the Compensation Committee deems it appropriate to incentivize the Chairman of the Board, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief ExecutiveFinancial Officer by apportioning a higher percentage of their annual base salary as the target annual cash incentive bonus opportunity as compared to the other named executive officers.

Also, as discussed previously, in February 2012, upon the change in the position of the Chief Executive Officer, the Board recognized the additional leadership role expected of Mr. Copple upon the change in the position of the Chief Executive Officer. Based upon that determination, effective February 15, 2012, the Compensation Committee raised the target annual cash bonus opportunity of Mr. Copple from 75% to 100% of his annual base salary.

The following steps are performed annually for the Bonus Plan:

(1) Setting a Target Cash Bonus. During the first quarter of the fiscal year, the Compensation Committee approves the range of potential payouts as percentage of target (33%, 100% and 133%), at a threshold, target and maximum level of annual cash incentive bonus for the participants to the Bonus Plan. The target annual cash incentive bonus amount is generally set at a percentage of the participant’s annual base salary although the Compensation Committee may take into account other factors deemed relevant, such as the individual’s performance and contributions outside of the quantitative targets and recommendations from the Chief Executive Officer (except for target annual cash incentive bonus amounts for himself).

The bonus opportunities of the named executive officers for the 2012 fiscal year were as follows:

Name 

Threshold

(as % of

Michael Cavalier

Each participant under the Bonus Plan is entitled to receive a ratable portion of his target annual cash incentive bonus based upon the Company’s level of achievement of the performance metric. Thus, theThe actual amount of annual cash incentive bonuses paid, if any, may result in aan annual cash incentive bonus that is greater or less than the stated target (and could be zero) depending on whether, and to what extent, the applicable performance and other conditions are satisfied.

Under the Bonus Plan, the maximum annual cash incentive bonus amount of a named executive officer is capped at the lesser of 200% of such named executive officer’s annual annual base salary at the time the target annual cash bonus is determined.or $3 million.

(2)Setting the Performance Target. During the first quarter of each fiscal year, the Compensation Committee establishes the performance target of the Company for the year. PerformanceThe performance target may include factors, by way of example but not limitation, any or all of the following: revenue; net sales; operating income; earnings before all or any of interest, taxes, depreciation and/or amortization (“EBIT”, “EBITA”, or “EBITDA”); Adjusted EBITDA; Adjusted EBITDA Margin; cash flow; working capital and components thereof; return on equity or average stockholder’s equity; return on assets; market share; sales (net or gross) measured by product line, territory, customer(s), or other category; stock price; earnings per share; earnings from continuing operations; net worth; credit rating; levels of expense, cost or liability by category, operating unit or any other delineation; any increase or decrease of one or more of the foregoing over a specified period; or implementation or completion of critical projects. With respect to certain participants who are not named executive officers, these targets may also include such objective or subjective performance goals as the Compensation Committee may, from time to time, establish.

The Adjusted EBITDA performance levels for purposes of the Bonus Plan for 2012, before payment of annual cash bonuses, was set by the Compensation Committee in March 2012 as follows:

Adjusted

EBITDA

Levels

Amounts

(in millions)

Minimum

$        491.0

Target

$        545.6

Maximum

$        572.9

The Adjusted EBITDA target of $545.6 million was set approximately 5% higher than the Adjusted EBITDA achieved by the Company during the 2011 fiscal year. The Adjusted EBITDA achieved by the Company in 2012 for purposes of the Bonus Plan was $596.8 million. The reported Adjusted EBITDA was $589.2 million after adjustment for payment of annual cash bonuses of $7.6 million4.

(3)Measuring Performance. Prior to making any payments under the Bonus Plan, the Compensation Committee will certifycertifies whether the applicable performance factors were attained. In reaching its conclusions, the Compensation Committee will make, if needed, certain adjustments as specified in the Bonus Plan. Such adjustments include, but are not limited to, factors such as changes in accounting principles and extraordinary, unusual or non-recurring events that were not included in the operating budget for the performance period (such as the disposition of a theatre or theatres or the cessation of operation of a theatre as a result of a natural disaster). The Compensation Committee may, in its discretion, at any time establish (and, once established, rescind, waive or amend) additional conditions and terms of payment of the annual cash incentive bonus (including but not limited to the achievement of other financial, strategic or individual goals, which may be objective or subjective) as it may deem desirable in carrying out the purposes of the Bonus Plan and may take into account such other factors as it deems appropriate in administering any aspect of the Bonus Plan, including to reduce the amount of the annual cash incentive bonus at any time prior to payment based on such criteria as it shall determine, including but not limited to individual merit and the attainment of specified levels of one or any combination of the performance factors. However, the Compensation Committee cannot adjust upwards the cash incentive compensation payable to a named executive officer or waive the achievement of a performance target requirement for a named executive officer except in the case of the death or disability of the executive or a change-in-control of the Company.

In February 2013, the Compensation Committee certified, based upon the Adjusted EBITDA level achieved by the Company in 2012, that the annual cash bonus payment for the 2012 fiscal year is 133.33% of the target annual cash bonus opportunity of each participant to the Bonus Plan.

SeeSummary Compensation Table for 2012on page 54 for the actual annual cash bonuses paid to the named executive officers for 2012.

Equity Incentive Compensation

At the 20082013 Annual Meeting, the stockholders approvedre-approved the Restated Incentive Plan pursuant to which the Compensation Committee annually awards time-based and performance-based equity compensation. Time-based equity compensation enables us to attract and retain highly qualified executive officers as leaders to ensure our continued success. Long-term performance-based equity compensation encourages Company’s long-term growth and aligns the executive’s interests with the interests of our stockholders.

Pursuant to the Restated Incentive Plan, restricted stock and performance awards (in the form of restricted stock units) have been granted annually to eligible employees, including the named executive officers. Typically, grants to all eligible employees, including the named executive officers, are made on the same day (within the first 90 days of the fiscal quarter).

No stock options have been granted by the Company since 2004. The Compensation Committee has concluded that restricted stock and performance awards are a superior vehicle of incentive compensation than stock options by allowing our executives to benefit from our dividend policy.

The Compensation Committee determines the split between time-based and performance-based awards based upon various factors such as Company’s performance with respect to its industry competitors, leadership and contribution of individual executive officers and the nature of the economic environment. Generally, the value of the target level of performance-based awards is close to the value of the time-based restricted stock award with the maximum potential of the performance-based awards at 150% of the value of the time-based restricted stock award. In certain years the Compensation Committee has adjusted the percentage split of the performance-based and time-based equity awards to appropriately incentivize and motivate the executive officers in response to Company performance and targeted goals.

Restricted Stock. Stock.Generally, restricted stock is awarded to eligible employees annually as a retention incentive. Periodic awards of restricted stock can also be made at the discretion of the Compensation Committee and such periodic awards have been made in certain limited instances to attract executive talent. Grants of restricted stock are generally based upon a percentage of the eligible employee’s annual base salary. However, such grants could be subject to some adjustment based on the individual employee’s performance during the previous fiscal year. The Chief Executive Officer, given his leadership position, role in Company growth and risk undertaking in decision-making, is awarded restricted stock at a higher percentage of annual base salary compared to the other named executive officers and executive officers. All participants to the Restated Incentive Plan are eligible to receive restricted stock. Restricted stock granted under the Restated Incentive Plan typically vests 50% on each of the second and fourth anniversaries of the grant date subject to continuous employment through the vest dates. As disclosed earlier in this proxy statement, theThe restricted stock granted to Mr. Warner insince 2012 vests in equal amounts over a three yearthree-year vest period from March 2013 to March 2015.period. Restricted stock awards granted to Mr. Warner in years prior to 2012 shall remain subject to the four year vesting similar to that of other executive officers.

Recipients of restricted stock awards are permitted to:

(i) receive dividends on the restricted stock to the extent dividends are paid by the Company on shares of its Common Stock, and

(ii) to vote such Common Stock during the restriction period.

Performance Awards.Performance awards entitle recipients to vest in or acquire shares of Common Stock upon the attainment of specified performance goals over the performance period established by the Compensation Committee. Only the named executive officers and certain executive officers who have a significant impact on the Company’s long-term performance are eligible to receive performance awards.

46


Performance awards can be granted in the form of restricted stock or restricted stock units. The performance goals are based on one or more pre-established objective criteria that specify the number of shares of Common Stock under the performance award that will be issued (if performance award is in the form of restricted stock unit) or shall vest (if performance award is in the form of restricted stock) if the performance goal is attained. During the first quarter of a fiscal year, the Compensation Committee approves the performance goal for the year. Common Stock received upon attainment of the performance goals under a restricted stock unit award may be subject to additional time-based

43


vesting conditions. Any dividends that are attributable to the underlying Common Stock relating to a restricted stock unit based performance award will be paid to the recipient when the established vesting conditions are satisfied.

Since 2008, the performance goal has been based on an implied equity value concept that determines an internal rate of return (“IRR”) during thea three fiscal year performance period. The implied equity value is based on a valuation formula utilizing a multiple of Adjusted EBITDA (subject to certain specified adjustments). and other factors. Each performance target underlying the performance awards has a threshold, target and maximum level of payment opportunity and vest on a pro rata basis according to the IRR achieved during the performance period, with the maximum payment opportunity equal to 150% of the individual’s target opportunity based upon the IRR during the performance period.opportunity. The targets for the current fiscal year are established in writing by the Compensation Committee in the first quarter of the fiscal year. The number of shares of Common Stock an executive may receive upon the attainment of a performance goal cannot be determined at the date of grant because the payment of such compensation is contingent upon attainment of the IRR and is further subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee. If at the end of the performance period the Compensation Committee determines that the performance target has been met, the shares of Common stockStock subject to each performance award shall be further subject to a one year time-based vesting restriction contingent upon the employee’s continued service.

On March 8, 2012, the performance awards were granted in the form of restricted stock units (“2012 RSU Award”). The following table sets forth the various IRR percentages and the number of corresponding restricted stock units underlying the performance awardsshares that can be earned by each eligible participant:

 

Level IRR Performance Shares  Issuable

Threshold

 IRR equal to 8.5% but less than 10.5% 331/3% of the maximum performance shares issuable

If the IRR achieved byfor the Company during the performancethree-year period is at least 8.5%, which is from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2014. Forthe threshold, at least one-third of the restricted stock units vest. If the IRR for the three-year period is at least 10.5%, which is the target, at least two-thirds of the restricted stock units vest. If the IRR for the three-year period is at least 12.5%, which is the maximum, at least 100% of the restricted stock units vest. Further, as an example, if the Company achieves an IRR equal to 11.5%, the number of restricted stock units that shall vest will be greater than the target but less than the maximum number that would have vested had the Company achieved the highest IRR. Similar to performance awards of previous years, the 2012 RSU Award is subject to a further time-based vesting restriction of one year after 2014 and shall vest upon the employee’s continued service through March 2016.

SeeGrants of Plan Based Awards in 2012Perquisites table on page 57 for further detail regarding the equity awards granted to the named executive officers in 2012.

In February 2013, the Compensation Committee certified that the Company had achieved the highest level of IRR for the performance period from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2012. Consequently, the Common Stock underlying the performance awards (in the form of restricted stock units) granted to the named executive officers in March 2010 shall be issued in the maximum amounts subject to continued employment of the named executive officer until March 2014. SeeOutstanding Equity Awards at December 31, 2012 table on page 59 for the number of performance awards that will vest for each named executive officer.

Perquisites

With limited exceptions, the Compensation Committee’s policy is to provide benefits and perquisites to our named executive officers that are substantially the same as those offered to our other employees at or above the level of vice president. The benefits and perquisites that may be available in addition to those available to our other employees include life insurance premiums and long-term disability insurance.

401(k) Plan

We sponsor a defined contribution savings plan, or 401(k) Plan, whereby certain employees may elect to contribute, in whole percentages between 1% and 50% of such employee’s cash compensation, provided no employee’s elective contribution shall exceed the amount permitted under Section 402(g) of the Code ($17,00017,500 for 2013, $17,000 for 2012 and $16,500 for 2011 and 2010)2011). In 2012,2013, participants over the age of 50 could contribute an additional $5,500.

We may make an annual discretionary matching contribution up to a maximum of 6% of the employee’s annual contributioncash compensation to the 401(k) Plan.Plan, subject to the limits specified by Section 402(g) of the Code.

Competitive Positioning

The Compensation Committee aims to competitively align executive compensation. The Compensation Committee believes that our success depends upon our ability to successfully motivate, attract and retain the highest caliber and experienced executive talent who are critical to the execution of our business plans, strategies and overall corporate long-term success. In order to gauge the reasonableness and competitiveness of our executive compensation as compared to the market, the Compensation Committee considers compensation data (total as well as individual components of compensation i.e. annual base salary, targeted annual incentive and long-term incentive opportunities) for similarly-situated executives atWe compete with a comparisonpeer group of companies (referred tohere as the “compensation peer group”) with whom we compete for executive level talent. TheTo attract, retain and motivate the highest caliber executive management who are critical to our long-term success, the Compensation Committee with input from management and L&A, annually reviews the companies includedbelieves their compensation should be aligned to similarly situated executives within our compensation peer group. To determine the competitiveness of our compensation, the Compensation Committee annually reviews our compensation peer group data provided by our compensation consultant. Typically, L&A has provided compensation data for the 25th, 50thand may add or eliminate companies as determined appropriate.75th percentiles for each component of compensation and total compensation for individual named executive officers. The Compensation Committee uses the data for information purposes and does not target a specific percentile of compensation for any named executive officer.

For purposes of 2012 executive compensation for the Compensation Committee deemed it appropriate to assess compensation competitiveness with respect to a group of companies broader than2013 fiscal year, the current performance peer group. The selection criteria of the Compensation Committee utilized to identify companies for the 2012 compensation peer group was a combination of various factors such as revenue size, asset size,levels, total assets, market capitalization, business models that are particularly relevant to Cinemark’s growth in the past five years and its continued strategic expansion in the international markets, which is considered in the industry to be an increasingly important component of the overall box office revenues. Based upon that assessment the following companies within the leisure, hospitality and entertainment services industry comprised our compensation peer group for 2012:group:

 

Carmike Cinemas, Inc.

   Netflix, Inc.  

Chipotle Mexican Grill, Inc.

   Panera Bread Co.  

DreamworksDreamWorks Animation SKG, Inc.

   Regal Entertainment Group

L&A compiled compensation data for the compensation peer group from a variety of sources, including proxy statements for 2012, public filings and other publicly filed documents. L&A also provided published survey compensation data from multiple sources, including the following surveys:sources.

Economic Research Institute, Mercer, Inc., Kenexa and Towers Watson. For each survey, L&A adjusted the data to appropriately reflect companies of a similar size to the Company.

The following provides an overview of the competitive positioning of the compensation of the Company’s named executive officers as compared to the competitive market:

Overall, annual base salaries of the Company’s top five executives are aligned below the market 50th percentile;

In terms of targeted cash compensation (annual base salary + targeted annual cash incentive), the top five executives are aligned between the market 25th and 50th percentiles;

In terms of grant date fair value of long-term incentives, the top five executives are aligned between the market 25th and 50th percentiles;

Overall, our executive team’s total compensation packages (annual base salary + targeted annual cash incentive + long-term incentives) are aligned between the market 25th and 50th percentiles.

Tax Considerations

The Compensation Committee considers the tax effectsimpact to the Company when making executive compensation decisions and has a practice of delivering compensation in a tax-efficient manner whenever reasonable. However, the priority of the Compensation Committee is to provide competitive compensation that would serve the objectives of retention, reward and motivation in the best possible mix of the various compensation components in a particular year. Therefore, in certain years some compensation paid to the named executive officers may not be deductible by the Company due to the limitations of Section 162(m) of the Code.

Section 162(m) provides that the amount of compensation that we may deduct each year for our “covered employees”- the Chief Executive Officer and each of the three most highly paid officers (other than our Chief Financial Officer)- is $1 million. Elements of compensation whichthat qualify as “performance-based compensation” are deductible even if in excess of this $1 million limit.

In structuring the compensation programs that apply to the covered employees, we considered the requirements and consequences of Section 162(m) of the Code. We designed several elements of our overall compensation program in the form of performance-based compensation. The performance awards (in the form of restricted stock units) are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation and shall therefore be fully tax deductible. Similarly, annual cash incentive bonuses paid pursuant to the Bonus Plan are intended to qualify as performance-based compensation.

In addition to annual cash incentive bonuses and performance awards, the Company has also granted, and may continue to grant, time-based restricted stock awards to covered employees that are not intended to be performance-based compensation and will count against the $1 million compensation deduction limit. During 2012, the covered employees, primarily due to the substantial appreciation in the value of Company Stock,In 2013, only Mr. Warner recognized compensation in excess of $1 million upon vesting of the restricted stock granted in 2008three previous years - 2009, 2011 and 20102012- that was not performance-based and, in part, is not deductible by the Company under Section 162(m) of the Code.

46


While the Compensation Committee has taken into account the potential application of Section 162(m) of the Code on compensation decisions and the Company generally seeks to ensure the deductibility of the incentive compensation paid to the covered employees, the Compensation Committee intends to retain the flexibility

49


necessary to continue the competitive pay practices of the Company. Therefore, not all incentive compensation awards may be fully deductible by the Company. In addition, there may be ambiguities regarding how the conditions to qualify as “performance-based” compensation will be interpreted and administered under the income tax regulations, so that amounts that the Company intends or expects to qualify as deductible may not so qualify. Accordingly, there is no certainty that all elements of compensation discussed in this proxy statement will in fact be deductible.

Compensation Risk Assessment

The Compensation Committee reviews, approves and certifies the design, goals and payouts under the Bonus Plan and the Restated Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee monitors whether the Company’s compensation programs for executives and employees encourage unnecessary or excessive risk taking. Upon such consideration the Compensation Committee has concluded that the Company’s compensation programs do not create risks that are reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the Company. Below are some of the highlights of the Company’s compensation program which mitigate risks associated with compensation:

The Company’s performance metrics are established within the first 90 days of the fiscal year;

A mix of cash and equity awards with emphasis on equity;

Annual cash incentive tied to Company’s overall annual performance and measured against a pre-established objective business criteria;

Equity compensation split between long-term and short-term, to balance retention and reward for short-term performance with motivation to increase long-term stockholder value;

Equity compensation vesting is multi-year time-based and performance-based (with overlapping performance periods);

Compensation Committee has discretion to reduce but may not adjust upward or waive achievement of performance targets for the annual cash incentive award;

The Bonus Plan caps the annual cash incentive award payouts at the lesser of 200% of annual base salary or $3 million;

Certain hedging transactions by named executive officers are prohibited;

Double trigger for involuntary termination of employment upon change-in-control; and

No change-in-control provision in Mr. Mitchell’s employment agreement.

Compensation Committee Report

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the CD&A required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management and, based on such review and discussion, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board that the CD&A be included in this proxy statement and incorporated by reference in the Company’s 2013 Form 10-K and the Board has approved the recommendation.

Respectfully submitted,

The reported amounts reflect the aggregate grant date fair values of the equity awards, as restricted stock and performance awards (in the form of restricted stock units), granted during the 2013, 2012 and 2011 fiscal years, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The amounts shown exclude the impact of estimated forfeitures. See Note 18 to the Company’s 2013 Form 10-K for a discussion of the assumptions used in determining the grant date fair values of these equity awards, including forfeiture assumptions and the period over which the Company will recognize compensation expense for such awards.

The grant date fair values were calculated based upon the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on March 28, 2013 of $29.44, March 8, 2012 of $21.63 and March 31, 2011 of $19.35 per share. Pursuant to the rules of the SEC, the target level of payment was assumed as the most probable outcome for the performance awards.

On February 26, 2014, the Compensation Committee certified the level of IRR achieved by the Company for the three-year performance period from January 1, 2011 to December 31, 2013. Accordingly, the performance awards (in the form of restricted stock units) that were granted to Messers. Warner, Copple, Fernandes and Cavalier on March 31, 2011 (the “2011 Grant”), shall vest at the maximum amounts subject to continuous employment of the named executive officer until March 31, 2015. The terms of the restricted stock and performance awards are discussed in more detail underCompensation Discussion and Analysisand the footnote disclosures to theGrants of Plan-Based Awards in 2013table.

The reported amounts are the annual cash incentive bonuses earned by the named executive officers for the 2013, 2012 and 2011 fiscal years. Pursuant to the Bonus Plan, the annual cash incentive bonuses earned for a fiscal year are paid in February or March of the following year subject to the attainment of performance targets set by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of the covered fiscal year. The annual cash incentive bonuses for the 2013 fiscal year were paid on February 28, 2014, for the 2012 fiscal year paid on February 21, 2013 and for the 2011 fiscal year paid on February 24, 2012. Mr. Fernandes’s annual cash incentive bonus was calculated based on the average of worldwide EBITDA and international EBITDA performances and his expatriate allowance was included in his annual base salary. SeeDesign of the Executive Compensation ProgramAnnual Cash Incentive Bonusbeginning on page 41 for a discussion of the amount of annual cash incentive bonus paid in proportion to total compensation.

On March 29, 2013, the Compensation Committee granted performance awards (in the form of restricted stock units) for an aggregate maximum of 62,133 hypothetical shares of restricted stock to the named executive officers, except Mr. Mitchell. The number of shares underlying each performance award was determined in part by reference to the closing price of the Common Stock on March 28, 2013 of $29.44 per share.

The performance target underlying the performance awards (in the form of restricted stock units), has a threshold, target and maximum level of payment opportunity. The maximum payment opportunity is equal to 150% of the named executive officer’s target opportunity based upon the IRR achieved over the three-year performance period from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2015. At the end of the three-year performance period, the Compensation Committee shall certify the IRR achieved by the Company which shall determine the number of performance awards (in the form of restricted stock units) that shall vest for each named executive officer, subject to continuous employment through March 28, 2017.

Pursuant to the Second Amended Agreement, if the term expires on April 1, 2016, Mr. Warner shall not be required to fulfill the additional employment requirement until March 2017.

Holders of performance awards receive dividends that are attributable to the underlying Common Stock, to the extent declared by our Board and at the same rate paid to other stockholders, at the time the performance

awards vest and the underlying Common Stock is issued. The current dividend rate is $0.25 per share of Common Stock. SeeCompensation Discussion and Analysisfor a discussion of the terms of the performance awards.

(4)

As part of the 2013 Grant, the Compensation Committee also approved, under the terms of the Restated Incentive Plan, an aggregate of 41,423 shares of restricted stock to our named executive officers, except Mr. Mitchell. The number of shares underlying each award was determined by reference to the closing price of the Common Stock on March 28, 2013 of $29.44 per share.

For Messers. Copple, Fernandes and Cavalier, the restricted stock shall vest as follows, subject to continued employment through the vest dates: 50% on March 29, 2015 and the remaining 50% on March 29, 2017. The restricted stock awarded to Mr. Warner under the 2013 Grant shall vest equally on March 29, 2014, March 29, 2015 and March 29, 2016.

Holders of restricted stock receive non-forfeitable dividends to the extent declared by our Board, at the same rate paid to other stockholders of the Company. The current dividend rate is $0.25 per share of Common Stock. SeeCompensation Discussion and Analysisfor a discussion of the terms of the restricted stock.

(5)

The aggregate grant date fair values of restricted stock and performance awards (in the form of restricted stock units) were determined using the closing price of the Common Stock on March 28, 2013 of $29.44 per share. The aggregate grant date fair values of performance awards were determined based upon the target level of payment as the most probable outcome and were computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The amounts shown exclude the impact of estimated forfeitures.

The salary reported for Mr. Stock is the salary paid to him from January 1, 2012 – February 15, 2012, based on his salary for 2012 which was set at $646,522 by the Compensation Committee.

54


Effective February 15, 2012, Mr. Warner’s salary was increased from $473,744 to the reported amount upon his appointment as the new Chief Executive Officer of the Company.

Effective February 15, 2012, Mr. Copple’s salary was increased from $445,877 to the reported amount as the Board recognized his increased leadership role in the Company upon the change in the position of the Chief Executive Officer.

SeeCompensation Discussion & Analysis for an explanation of the amount of annual base salary paid in proportion to total compensation.

(2)

The reported amounts reflect the aggregate grant date fair value of restricted stock and performance awards (in the form of restricted stock units) granted to the named executive officers in 2012, 2011 and 2010, computed in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. The amounts shown exclude the impact of estimated forfeitures. See Note 19 to the Company’s 2012 Form 10-K, for discussion of the assumptions used in determining the fair values of these stock awards, including forfeiture assumptions and the period over which the Company will recognize compensation expense for such awards.

The grant date fair values were calculated based upon the closing price of the Company’s Common Stock on March 8, 2012 of $21.63, March 31, 2011 of $19.35 and March 31, 2010 of $18.34 per share.

No equity awards were granted to Mr. Stock in 2012 as he had retired from the Company by the grant date.

The target level of payment was assumed as the most probable outcome for the performance awards (in the form of restricted stock units) for purposes of the Summary Compensation Table. The table below provides the fair values of the performance awards (in the form of restricted stock units) at the grant dates in 2012, 2011 and 2010 assuming that the highest level of IRR is achieved:

Name  2012   2011   2010

Valmir Fernandes

  $344,458    $290,250    $1,041,914  

Michael Cavalier

  $316,620     -     -  

In February 2013, the Compensation Committee certified that the Company had achieved the highest level of IRR for the performance period from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2012. Consequently, the performance awards (in the form of restricted stock units) that were granted to Messers. Warner, Copple, Fernandes and Cavalier on March 31, 2010 (the “2010 Grant”), shall vest in the maximum amounts subject to continuous employment of the named executive officer until March 31, 2014.

Pursuant to the terms of the Consulting Agreement, the restricted stock and the performance awards (in the form of restricted stock units) granted to Mr. Stock under the 2010 Grant shall also vest on March 31, 2014. However, Mr. Stock shall forfeit 50% of the restricted stock and 100% of the performance awards (in the form of restricted stock units) granted to him on March 31, 2011 (the “2011 Grant”).

The specific terms of the restricted stock and performance awards are discussed in more detail underCompensation Discussion and Analysis. See alsoGrants of Plan-Based Awardstable.

The grant date fair values for the equity awards do not necessarily correspond to the actual values that will be realized by the named executive officers. The actual values realized will depend on the market value of the Common Stock on the vesting dates of the restricted stock and the performance awards.

The reported amounts are the annual cash bonuses earned by the named executive officers for the fiscal year. Pursuant to the Bonus Plan, the annual cash bonuses earned for a fiscal year are paid in February or March of the following year subject to the attainment of pre-established performance targets set by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of the covered fiscal year. The 2012 annual cash bonuses were paid on February 21, 2013, the 2011 annual cash bonuses were paid on February 24, 2012 and the 2010 annual cash bonuses were paid on February 24, 2011.

If management becomes aware of a proposed or existing related party transaction that has not been presented or pre-approved by the Audit Committee, management shall promptly notify the ChairmanChair of the Audit Committee who shall submit such related party transaction to the full Audit Committee for approval or ratification, if the Audit Committee determines that such transaction is fair to the Company. If management, in consultation with our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer or General Counsel determines that it is not practicable to wait until the next Audit Committee meeting, the ChairmanChair of the Audit Committee has been delegated the authority during this period to review, consider and approve any such transaction. In such event, the ChairmanChair of the Audit Committee shall report any related party transaction approved by him or her at the next Audit Committee meeting. The Audit Committee may establish guidelines it determines as necessary and appropriate for management to follow in dealings with related parties and related party transactions.

ITEM 4 — RE-APPROVAL OF THE MATERIAL TERMS OF THE PERFORMANCE GOALS UNDER THE AMENDED AND RESTATED 2006 LONG TERM INCENTIVE PLAN

We are submitting the material terms of the performance goals under the Restated Incentive Plan for stockholder re-approval to meet the requirements under Section 162(m) of the Code.

In May 2008, together with the Bonus Plan described below, upon recommendation of the Board, the stockholders approved the Restated Incentive Plan. The purposes of the Restated Incentive Plan are to enable us, and any of our subsidiaries, to attract and retain the services of eligible plan participants and to provide incentives for such persons to exert maximum efforts for our long range success.

Section 162(m) of the Code generally disallows a federal income tax deduction to any publicly held corporation for compensation paid in excess of $1 million in any taxable year to the Chief Executive Officer or any of the three other most highly compensated executive officers (other than the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer) who are employed by the corporation on the last day of the taxable year. However, there is an exception to this limit on deductibility for performance-based compensation, the material terms of which are disclosed to and approved by the stockholders.

We have structured and intend to implement and administer the Restated Incentive Plan so that compensation resulting from options and other stock vesting in accordance with specified performance goals can qualify as “performance-based compensation.” The administrator, however, has the discretion to grant awards with terms that will result in the awards not constituting performance-based compensation.

Under Section 162(m) of the Code, we must seek stockholder approval of the material terms of the performance goals applicable to performance awards under the Restated Incentive Plan at five-year intervals to preserve our ability to receive the federal income tax deduction discussed above. Hence, to allow us to qualify awards as “performance-based compensation,” we are seeking stockholder re-approval of the material terms of the performance goals applicable to performance awards under the Restated Incentive Plan.

For purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code, the material terms include the employees eligible under the Restated Incentive Plan, a description of the business criteria on which performance goals applicable to performance awards are based, and the maximum amount of compensation payable under the Restated Incentive Plan to any one employee if the performance goals are attained. Each of these aspects of the Restated Incentive Plan is described below. We are not seeking to make any changes with respect to the material terms of the performance goals or any other terms of the Restated Incentive Plan at this time.

For a discussion of the philosophy behind the various equity incentive awards under the Restated Incentive Plan, please see the discussion in theCompensation Discussion & Analysis section in this proxy statement.

Summary of the Restated Incentive Plan

Following is a summary of our Restated Incentive Plan which is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Restated Incentive Plan, attached as Appendix A to this proxy statement.

Eligibility. Any employee, director or consultant of our or any of our subsidiaries who is designated by the administrator is eligible to receive an award under the Restated Incentive Plan. Incentive stock options may only be granted to a person employed by us or by one of our subsidiaries. Non-qualified stock options, restricted shares and restricted stock units can be awarded to employees, directors and consultants.

Business Criteria. The performance goals for performance awards under the Restated Incentive Plan are determined by the administrator, in its sole discretion, prior to the time 25% of the performance period has

70


elapsed (but not later than 90 days after the beginning of the performance period) and may be based on one or more of the following business criteria as applied to a participant, a business unit or the Company and its affiliates:

revenue;

sales;

earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA);

Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure used by the Company in the budget and reporting process and is more specifically defined in the Restated Incentive Plan;

funds from operations;

funds from operations per share;

operating income;

pre-tax or after-tax income;

cash available for distribution;

cash available for distribution per share;

net earnings;

earnings per share;

return on equity;

return on assets;

return on capital;

economic value added;

share price performance;

improvements in the Company’s attainment of expense levels;

implementing or completion of critical projects;

improvement in cash-flow (before or after tax); or

the occurrence of a Sale of the Company.

Available Shares and Maximum Awards. The maximum aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the Restated Incentive Plan is 19,100,000 shares. As of the Record Date, there were 7,953,512 shares of Common Stock available for future issuance under the Restated Incentive Plan. No employee may be granted options covering more than 1,500,000 shares during any fiscal year, or performance awards that could result in the employee receiving more than 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock for each full or partial fiscal year during the performance period of a particular performance award.

Administration. The Restated Incentive Plan is administered by the administrator who will be the Board, or in the discretion of our Board, by a committee consisting of two or more of our directors. Currently, the Board has delegated administration of the Restated Incentive Plan to the Compensation Committee comprised of two or more directors who qualify as both “outside directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and “non-employee directors” within the meaning of Rule 16b-3 promulgated under Section 16 of the Exchange Act. The administrator has full and final authority to make awards, including the ability to make awards within designated parameters that do not involve “covered employees” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code or “insiders” within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act, establish the terms thereof, and administer and interpret the Restated Incentive Plan in its sole discretion unless authority is specifically reserved to our Board under the Restated Incentive Plan, our amended and restated certificate of incorporation or bylaws, or applicable law. The Restated Incentive Plan administrator has exclusive authority to determine employees to whom awards will be granted, the timing and manner of the grant of awards, the number of shares to be subject to any award, the purchase price or exercise price and medium of payment, performance or business criteria vesting provisions and repurchase provisions and to specify the provisions of any agreement relating to such grant or sale, the duration and purpose of leaves of absence which may be granted to participants without constituting termination of employment for purposes of the Restated Incentive Plan and all other discretionary determinations necessary or advisable for administration of the Restated Incentive Plan.

71


Awards and Terms

Awards under the Restated Incentive Plan may consist of options, including options intended to qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code and non-qualified options that are not intended to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code, restricted stock and restricted stock unit awards, or performance awards.

Terms and Conditions of Options.The exercise price for the shares subject to any option granted under the Restated Incentive Plan may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the shares of our Common Stock on the date the option is granted. However, the terms of the option agreements entered into under the 2004 Cinemark, Inc. Long Term Equity Incentive Plan (the “2004 Plan”) will continue to govern the options granted under the 2004 Plan. The options will otherwise be subject to the provisions in our Restated Incentive Plan. The purchase price for any shares purchased pursuant to exercise of an option must be paid in full upon exercise of the option in cash or, at the sole discretion of the administrator, upon such terms and conditions as it may approve, by transferring to us for redemption shares of previously acquired Common Stock at the fair market value, by a broker assisted cashless exercise procedure, or by decreasing the number of shares deliverable upon the exercise of an option on a cashless basis by an amount equal to the number of shares having an aggregate fair market value equal to the aggregate exercise price of such option. Under the Restated Incentive Plan, options vest according to the provisions of the applicable option agreement, and terminate as set forth in the applicable option agreement, but no later than the tenth anniversary of the date of grant. Upon the sale of our Company, all outstanding options become fully vested and exercisable. No option is exercisable after the earliest of the following: (1) the expiration of ten years after the date the option is granted; (2) three months after the date the participant’s continuous service as an employee, director or consultant with us and our subsidiaries terminates if termination is for any reason other than permanent disability, death, or cause; (3) the date the participant’s continuous service terminates if termination is for cause; (4) one year after the date the participant’s continuous service terminates if termination is a result of death; or (5) six months after the date the participant’s continuous service terminates if termination is a result of permanent disability.

Incentive Stock Options. Incentive stock options are non-transferable, except as permitted by the administrator in its sole discretion. If an incentive stock option is granted to an employee who owns 10% or more of our Common Stock, the exercise price of that option may not be less than 110% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the option grant date and the option is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from such option grant date. To the extent the aggregate fair market value (determined as of the time the option is granted) of stock with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable by any employee for the first time during any calendar year exceeds $100,000, the options or portions thereof will be treated as non-qualified stock options and will not be treated as incentive stock options.

Non-qualified Stock Options. The Restated Incentive Plan also provides for grants of non-qualified stock options to any employees, directors or consultants performing services for us or our subsidiaries. The exercise price for non-qualified stock options granted under the Restated Incentive Plan may not be less than 100% of the fair market value of the Common Stock on the option grant date.

Restricted Share Awards.The administrator may award (or sell at a purchase price determined by the administrator) restricted shares of our Common Stock to our employees, directors and consultants. The restricted stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred or otherwise disposed of for such period as the administrator shall determine. The vesting of an award of restricted stock will be determined by the administrator for each grant. Vesting requirements may be based on the continued service of the participant for a specified time period or may be granted as performance awards based on the attainment of specified business performance goals established by the administrator or both. In the event a recipient’s continuous service to us terminates, we may reacquire the unvested shares acquired in consideration of services and all unvested shares of restricted stock as of the date of termination will be forfeited. If

restricted stock is acquired as consideration other than for prior or future services, the forfeiture will be accomplished by repurchasing the shares at the original purchase price. The administrator, in its sole discretion,

72


may impose additional restrictions as well as waive any or all restrictions with respect to restricted shares. The agreement evidencing the award of restricted stock will set forth any such terms and conditions. Upon a change of control of our Company, all outstanding shares of restricted stock become fully vested. Restricted shares will be held by the Company during the period that the shares are subject to vesting and transfer restrictions, but the participant will have voting and dividend rights during this time.

Restricted Stock Units. An award of Restricted Stock Units is an award of hypothetical Common Stock units having a value equal to the fair market value of an identical number of shares of Company Common Stock. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents a right to receive one share of Common Stock from the Company at the payment date set forth in the award agreement. Each Restricted Stock Unit may be subject to such vesting requirements, restrictions on transfer and conditions to payment (the “Restriction Period”) as the Compensation Committee determines are appropriate. Until the Restricted Stock Units awarded shall have vested and become payable on the payment date specified in the award agreement, the Restricted Stock Units and any related securities, cash dividends or other property nominally credited to a Restricted Stock Unit account may not be sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of and may not be pledged or otherwise hypothecated during the Restriction Period. Vesting requirements may be based on the continued service of the participant for a specified time period or may be granted as Performance Awards based on the attainment of specified business performance goals established by the administrator. Restricted Stock Units may be payable at the end of the Restriction Period or on a deferred settlement date. Payment will be in the form of Company Common Stock. Restricted Stock Units also may be granted with dividend equivalent rights that become payable if and when the Restricted Stock Units become payable. A participant receiving a Restricted Stock Unit award (denominated in hypothetical Common Stock units) shall have the rights of a stockholder only as to shares of Common Stock actually received by the participant under the Restated Incentive Plan and not with respect to shares of Common Stock subject to the award but not actually received by the participant.

Performance Awards. A Performance award is an award entitling the recipient to vest in or acquire shares of Common Stock or hypothetical Common Stock units having a value equal to the Fair Market Value of an identical number of shares of Common Stock that will be settled in the form of shares of Common Stock upon the attainment of specified performance goals. Performance Awards may be granted in the form of Restricted Shares or Restricted Stock Units. The administrator in its sole discretion determines the performance goals applicable to each award and the periods during which the performance is to be measured. Performance goals are based on a pre-established objective formula or standard that specifies the manner of determining the amount of cash or the number of shares under the performance award that will be granted or shall vest if the performance goal is attained. The administrator may establish these performance goals based on one or more of the business criteria listed under “Business Criteria” above. Performance goals shall be objective and, during the period the Company is required to be registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, performance goals must meet the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code.

Effect of the Sale of Our Company.Upon the sale of our Company, all outstanding options become fully vested and exercisable and all outstanding shares of restricted stock become fully vested. At the time of a sale of our Company, the administrator will cancel any or all outstanding options in exchange for a payment to the option holder in an amount equal to the value of the option under the terms of the sale of our Company, minus any required withholding tax. In addition, the administrator will cause our Company to purchase all restricted shares and restricted share units at a price determined according to the terms of the sale of our Company. The payment of the applicable amounts described above may be made in cash or, if the transaction resulting in the sale of our Company includes consideration in the form of securities, in a combination of cash and publicly traded securities, in the administrator’s discretion.

Effect of Mergers, Reorganizations and Consolidations on Awards.In the event of our liquidation or merger, reorganization or consolidation with any other corporation in which we are not the surviving corporation or we become a subsidiary of another corporation, or of a stock split or stock dividend, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock subject to options or awards under the Restated Incentive Plan and the number of

73


shares and exercise price per share subject to outstanding options or awards under the Restated Incentive Plan will be appropriately adjusted by the administrator to reflect any increase or decrease in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock. Any outstanding awards previously granted under the Restated Incentive Plan may either (1) be assumed or replaced by substitute awards by the surviving corporation or (2) continued in accordance with their terms.

Plan Amendments.The Restated Incentive Plan may be terminated or amended by our Board. Without the authorization and approval of the stockholders, however, our Board may not make any amendments which would (1) increase the total number of shares covered by the Restated Incentive Plan, (2) change the class of persons eligible to participate, or (3) extend the term of the Restated Incentive Plan beyond ten years from the date of adoption.

Term of Restated Incentive Plan.Unless earlier terminated by our Board in its sole discretion, the Restated Incentive Plan will expire on September 29, 2018.

Federal Income Tax Consequences

The following discussion is a general summary of the principal federal income tax consequences under current U.S. law relating to awards granted to employees under the Restated Incentive Plan. The summary is not intended to be exhaustive and, among other things, does not describe state, local or foreign income and other tax consequences. Moreover, the federal income tax consequences to any particular participant may differ from those described herein by reason of, among other things, the particular circumstances of such participant. It is intended that the Restated Incentive Plan and any awards granted under the Restated Incentive Plan will comply with the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, so that participants will not be subject to adverse tax consequences under that Section.

Stock Options. A participant generally will not recognize any taxable income upon the grant of a stock option and we will not be entitled to a tax deduction with respect to such grant. Generally, upon exercise of a non-qualified stock option, the excess of the fair market value of our Common Stock on the date of exercise over the exercise price will be taxable as ordinary income to the participant. In general, subject to the possible limitations on deductibility under Section 162(m) or 280G of the Code for compensation paid to certain individuals, we should be entitled to a federal income tax deduction in the same amount and at the same time as such inclusion in the participant’s income. A participant’s subsequent disposition of shares acquired on the exercise of a non-qualified stock option will ordinarily result in long-term or short-term capital gain or loss, depending on the holding period.

On exercise of an incentive stock option, the holder will not recognize any income and we will not be entitled to a deduction. However, the amount by which the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date of an incentive stock option exceeds the purchase price generally will constitute an item of adjustment for alternative minimum tax purposes, and may therefore result in alternative minimum tax liability to the option holder.

The disposition of shares acquired on exercise of an incentive stock option will ordinarily result in capital gain or loss. However, if the holder disposes of shares acquired on exercise of an incentive stock option within two years after the date of grant or one year after the date of exercise (a “disqualifying disposition”), the holder generally will recognize ordinary income in the amount of the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the date the option was exercised over the option exercise price. Any excess of the amount realized by the holder on the disqualifying disposition over the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise of the option generally will be capital gain. In the event of a disqualifying disposition, we should be entitled to a deduction equal to the amount treated as taxable compensation to the participant, but such deduction may be limited under Section 162(m) or 280G of the Code for compensation paid to certain individuals.

If an option is exercised through the use of shares previously owned by the holder, such exercise generally will not be considered a taxable disposition of the previously owned shares and thus no gain or loss will

74


be recognized with respect to such shares on such exercise. However, if the option is an incentive stock option and the previously owned shares were acquired on the exercise of an incentive stock option or other statutory stock option and the holding period requirement for those shares is not satisfied at the time they are used to exercise the option, such use will be a disqualifying disposition of the previously owned shares resulting in the recognition of ordinary income in the amount described above.

Restricted Stock and Performance Shares. A participant generally will not recognize taxable income upon the grant of restricted stock that is subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, including performance shares, and the recognition of any income will be postponed until the earlier of the time such shares become transferable or are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. When the restrictions lapse, the participant generally will recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of the fair market value of the restricted stock at the time that such restrictions lapse over the amount paid by the participant for such shares, if any. However, a participant may elect to be taxed at the time of the grant of restricted stock by making an election under Section 83(b) of the Code, in which case the participant will recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares of restricted stock at the time of grant over the amount paid by the participant for such shares, if any. We should be entitled to a federal income tax deduction in the same amount and at the same time as the participant recognizes ordinary income, but such deduction may be limited under Section 162(m) or 280G of the Code for compensation paid to certain individuals.

Restricted Stock Units and Performance Awards. A participant will not recognize income upon the grant of a restricted stock unit award, including a performance award, until such award becomes payable and the participant receives shares of Common Stock. Rather, upon delivery of shares of Common Stock pursuant to a restricted stock unit award, the participant will have taxable compensation equal to the fair market value of the number of shares of Common Stock that the participant receives with respect to the award, or, if the participant receives restricted shares, the participant will have taxable compensation income equal to the fair market value at the earlier of the date the stock becomes transferable or is no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, in the same manner as Restricted Stock. Upon disposition of the stock, the participant will recognize a capital gain or loss equal to the difference between the selling price and the sum of the amount paid for the stock (if any) plus any amount recognized as ordinary income upon issuance of the Common Stock in settlement of the restricted stock unit award. The gain or loss will be long- or short-term depending on how long the participant held the stock. We should be entitled to a federal income tax deduction in the same amount and at the same time as the participant recognizes ordinary income, but such deduction may be limited under Section 162(m) or 280G of the Code for compensation paid to certain individuals.

Section 162(m) of the Code. In general, Section 162(m) of the Code denies a publicly held corporation a deduction for U.S. federal income tax purposes for compensation in excess of $1 million per year per person to its principal executive officer and the three other officers (other than the principal executive officer and principal financial officer) whose compensation is disclosed in its proxy statement as a result of their total compensation, subject to certain exceptions. The Restated Incentive Plan is intended to satisfy an exception with respect to grants of options to covered employees. In addition, the Restated Incentive Plan is designed to permit certain awards of restricted stock and restricted stock units to be awarded as performance awards intended to qualify under the “performance-based compensation” exception to Section 162(m) of the Code. However, the Company reserves the right to determine whether or not awards under the Restated Incentive Plan will comply with the conditions to qualify as “performance-based” compensation under Section 162(m) of the Code. In addition, there may be ambiguities regarding how the conditions to qualify as “performance-based” compensation will be interpreted and administered under the income tax regulations, so that awards intended or expected to qualify as deductible may not so qualify. Accordingly, there is no certainty that all awards granted under the Restated Incentive Plan will in fact be deductible. We have not requested a ruling from the Internal Revenue Service or an opinion of counsel regarding this issue.

Section 280G of the Code. Under certain circumstances, the granting or enhancement of awards, the accelerated vesting or exercise of options or the accelerated lapse of restrictions with respect to other awards in connection with a change in control might be deemed an “excess parachute payment” for purposes of the golden parachute tax provisions of Sections 280G and 4999 of the Code. To the extent it is so considered, the participant may be subject to a 20% excise tax and we may be denied a federal income tax deduction.

75


New Plan Benefits

Since awards granted and earned under the Restated Incentive Plan are based on continuing future employment and the future achievement of performance goals by the Company as established by the Compensation Committee, the Company cannot determine the amounts that will be earned in the future under the Restated Incentive Plan. Thus, the table below shows the awards granted under the Restated Incentive Plan in 2012 to the individuals and groups indicated. These awards are not necessarily indicative of awards that may be granted in the future.

Recommendation of the Board

Our Board unanimously recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” approval of the material terms of the performance goals applicable to performance awards under the Amended and Restated Cinemark Holdings, Inc. 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan.

ITEM 5 — APPROVAL OF AN AMENDMENT TO AND RE-APPROVAL OF THE MATERIAL TERMS OF THE PERFORMANCE GOALS UNDER THE CINEMARK HOLDINGS, INC. PERFORMANCE BONUS PLAN

We are submitting for stockholder approval (1) an amendment to the Bonus Plan that was adopted, subject to stockholder approval, by the Compensation Committee on March 22, 2013, and (2) the material terms of the performance goals under the Bonus Plan for stockholder re-approval to meet the requirements under Section 162(m) of the Code.

In May 2008, upon recommendation of the Compensation Committee and the Board, the stockholders approved the Bonus Plan as described below. The Bonus Plan is intended to enable the Company to provide an incentive to executive officers and other selected employees of the Company to contribute to the growth, profitability and increased value of the Company by providing incentive compensation that qualifies as “performance-based compensation” for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code.

Under Section 162(m) of the Code we must seek stockholder approval of the material terms of the performance goals under the Bonus Plan at five-year intervals to preserve the Company’s ability to permit the Compensation Committee to establish annual targets and receive the federal income tax deduction discussed above. The material terms include the employees eligible under the Bonus Plan, a description of the business criteria on which performance goals are based, and the maximum amount of compensation payable under the Bonus Plan to any one employee if the performance goals are attained. Each of these aspects of the Bonus Plan is described below.

The amendment to the Bonus Plan adds an additional limit on the maximum bonus amount that may be paid to any employee if the performance goals are attained of $3 million, even if that is less than the current limit. We are not seeking to make any other changes with respect to the material terms of the performance goals or any other terms of the Bonus Plan at this time. If stockholders fail to approve the proposal, no cash incentive compensation will be paid under the Bonus Plan beginning in 2014.

The bonus process for the named executive officers under the Bonus Plan is discussed underCompensation Discussion & Analysis.

Summary of our Bonus Plan

Following is a summary of our Bonus Plan which is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Bonus Plan, as amended by the Compensation Committee and subject to stockholder approval as described in this Item 5, attached as Appendix B to this proxy statement.

76


Eligibility.  Our executive officers and selected employees and those of our subsidiaries who are designated by the Administrator are eligible to receive awards under the Bonus Plan. Currently, approximately 105 employees, including executive officers, are eligible to receive awards under the Bonus Plan.

Awards.   The Bonus Plan provides for awards of incentive compensation that are contingent on the attainment of specific performance targets. The Administrator will establish the performance criteria and performance targets for each award and the performance period during which the performance is to be measured, which will generally be our fiscal year. Performance targets may include a minimum level of performance below which no payment will be made, levels of performance at which specified percentages of the award will be paid, and a maximum level of performance above which no additional award will be paid. The Administrator must adopt the performance targets and criteria for awards granted to executive officers subject to the limits of Section 162(m) of the Code, whom we refer to as “Covered Employees,” no later than the earlier of:

90 days after the beginning of the performance period, or

the time when 25% of the performance period has elapsed.

Maximum Individual Bonus.  The amendment to the Bonus Plan provides that award amounts to be paid to any employee for any one year may not exceed 200% of such participant’s annual base salary in effect at the time the award is determined, up to a maximum dollar amount of $3 million.

Performance Factors.  Performance targets for each award will be based on pre-established performance factors, which may include any or all of the following, individually or in combination:

revenue;

net sales;

operating income;

EBIT, EBITA or EBITDA;

Adjusted EBITDA, which is a non-GAAP financial measure used by the Company in the budget and reporting process and is more specifically defined in the Bonus Plan;

Adjusted EBITDA Margin (Adjusted EBITDA divided by total revenues);

cash flow;

working capital and components thereof;

return on equity or average stockholders’ equity;

return on assets;

market share;

net or gross sales measured by product line, territory, one or more customer, or other category;

stock price;

earnings per share;

earnings from continuing operations;

net worth;

credit rating;

levels of expense, cost or liability by category, operating unit, or any other delineation;

any increase or decrease of one or more of the foregoing over a specified period; or

implementation or completion of critical projects.

These performance factors may relate to the performance of the Company or the performance of a business unit, product line, territory, or any combination of these. Performance targets for employees who are not executive officers may also be based on other additional objective or subjective performance criteria established by the Administrator.

77


Required Adjustments.  Awards based on revenue, net sales, operating income, EBIT, EBITA, EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, cash flow, return on equity or average stockholders’ equity, return on assets, net or gross sales, earnings per share, earnings from continuing operations, levels of expense cost or liability are subject to required adjustment to eliminate the effects of:

changes in accounting principles;

extraordinary items that are unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence;

unbudgeted dispositions of any business, theatre or theatres;

unbudgeted cessation of operations of any business, theatre or theatres resulting from a natural disaster; or

changes in the Company’s capitalization.

In addition, the Administrator may provide at the time any performance targets are established that adjustments will apply during the performance period to eliminate the effect of:

specified claims or litigation;

impairment of assets;

restructuring activities or reductions in force; or

investments or acquisitions.

Limitation on Discretion.  The Administrator may at any time establish additional conditions and terms of payment of awards, including additional financial, strategic or individual goals, which may be objective or subjective. The Administrator may not adjust upwards the amount payable pursuant to any award to a Covered Employee, nor may it waive the achievement of the performance target requirement for any Covered Employee, except in the case of the death or disability of the participant or a change in control of the Company.

Payment of Awards.  Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, all payments in respect of awards granted under the Bonus Plan will be made in cash, and will be paid within a reasonable period after the end of the performance period. In the case of awards designed not to be subject to Code Section 409A as deferred compensation, payments will be made not later than the latest date at which such awards will still qualify for the Section 409A exemption for short-term deferrals. Unless the Administrator provides otherwise, a participant must be employed by us on the date that awards are paid to receive an award payment, except in the case of death or disability. If a participant dies or becomes disabled during a performance period, the participant (or the participant’s beneficiary) will receive a prorated award payment at the same time all other awards are paid for the performance period.

Certification of Performance.  Before payment of any award to a Covered Employee our Compensation Committee must certify in writing that the performance target requirement for such award was met.

Term.   The Administrator may at any time terminate the Bonus Plan in whole or in part.

Amendment of the Bonus Plan.  The Administrator may at any time amend the Bonus Plan, subject to approval by our stockholders to the extent stockholder approval is necessary to continue to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code. The Administrator has not made any amendment to the Bonus Plan since its approval by the stockholders in 2008.

78


Administration of the Bonus Plan.  Our Board has delegated its authority to administer the Bonus Plan to the Company’s Compensation Committee, to whom we refer as the “Administrator.” The Compensation Committee is expected to consist solely of at least two “outside directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. The Administrator has the authority to administer the Bonus Plan and to exercise all the powers and authorities either specifically granted to it under the Bonus Plan or necessary or advisable in the administration of the Bonus Plan, including (but not limited to) the following:

to interpret the Bonus Plan and any award;

to prescribe rules relating to the Bonus Plan;

to determine the persons to receive awards;

to determine the terms, conditions, restrictions and performance criteria, including performance factors and performance targets, relating to any award;

to accelerate an award that is designed not to be deferred compensation subject to Code Section 409A (after the attainment of the applicable performance target or targets);

to adjust performance targets in recognition of unusual or non recurring events affecting us or our financial statements, or in response to changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles;

to waive restrictive conditions for an award (but not performance targets); and

to make any other determinations that may be necessary or advisable for administration of the Bonus Plan.

Stockholder Approval.   If our stockholders do not approve the material terms of the performance goals under the Bonus Plan, no award will be paid under the Bonus Plan beginning in 2014. If our stockholders do approve the material terms of the performance goals under the Bonus Plan, we must submit the material terms of the performance goals to our stockholders for re-approval on or before the first stockholder meeting that occurs in the fifth year following this current approval of the material terms of the performance goals under the Bonus Plan.

New Plan Benefits

Awards under the Bonus Plan are based on actual future performance. As a result, the amounts that will be paid under the Bonus Plan in future are not currently determinable. In no event, however, may any Covered Employee receive award amounts for any one year that exceed the lesser of 200% of such participant’s annual base salary in effect at the time the award is determined, or $3 million.

Recommendation of the Board

Our Board unanimously recommends that stockholders vote “FOR” re-approval of the material terms of the performance goals under the Cinemark Holdings, Inc. Performance Bonus Plan.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

Stockholders Sharing a Common Address

If you and other residents at your mailing address own Common Stock in street name, your broker or bank may have sent you a notice that your household will receive only one proxy statement for each company in which you hold stock through that broker or bank. Nevertheless, each stockholder will receive a separate proxy card. This practice, known as “householding,” is designed to reduce the Company’s printing and postage costs. If you did not respond that you did not want to participate in householding, the broker or bank will assume that you have consented, and will send one copy of our proxy statement to your address. You may revoke your consent to householding by contacting your broker or bank, if you hold Common Stock in street name, or the Company’s Secretary, if you are the registered holder of the Common Stock. The revocation of your consent to householding will be effective 30 days following its receipt. Upon written or oral request to the Company’s Secretary at the address or telephone number provided above, the Company will deliver promptly a separate copy of this proxy statement to a stockholder at a shared address to which a single copy of this proxy statement was delivered. By written or oral request to the same address (i) a stockholder may direct a notification to the Company that the stockholder wishes to receive a separate annual report or proxy statement in the future or (ii) stockholders who are sharing an address and who are receiving delivery of multiple copies of the Company’s annual reports or proxy statements can request delivery of only a single copy of these documents to their shared address.

GENERAL

1.1Purposes of Plan.RETURN THIS PROXY CARD. The purposes of the Amended and Restated Cinemark Holdings, Inc. 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) are to (i) advance the interests of Cinemark Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) and its stockholders by providing significant incentives to selected Employees, Directors and Consultants (as defined herein) of the Company and its Subsidiaries (as defined herein), (ii) enhance the interest of such persons in the success and progress of the Company and its Subsidiaries by providing them with an opportunity to become stockholders of the Company, (iii) enhance the ability of the Company and its Subsidiaries to attract and retain qualified management and other personnel necessary for the success and progress of the Company and its Subsidiaries. The Plan provides for grants of Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units, Performance Awards, Incentive Options and Nonqualified Options. The Plan is intended to be a “compensatory benefit plan” within the meaning of such term under Rule 701 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Plan is an amendment and restatement of the Cinemark Holdings, Inc. 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended to the date hereof.

1.2Assumption of Obligations under Cinemark, Inc. 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan. The assumption and substitution of options to acquire Cinemark Holdings, Inc. stock for options to acquire common stock of Cinemark, Inc. granted under the Cinemark, Inc. 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan (collectively, the “Substituted Options”) was made in connection with the share exchange agreement, dated August 7, 2006 and consummated on October 5, 2006 among the then current stockholders of Cinemark, Inc., by which the stockholders exchanged their shares of Class A common stock of Cinemark, Inc. for an equal number of shares of Class A common stock of Company. The number of shares subject to each option, the exercise price per share, the option terms, and the vesting provisions of any Substituted Options did not change as a result of this substitution. The Substituted Options will otherwise be subject to the provisions in the present Plan as though this Plan constituted an amendment and restatement of the Cinemark, Inc. 2004 Long Term Incentive Plan. This assumption and substitution is intended not to constitute a modification of the Substituted Options for purposes of Code § 409A and shall be implemented and administered consistent with such intent.

ARTICLE IV.

The Administrator shall determine those Employees, Directors and Consultants to whom Awards shall be granted, and, subject to Section 3.1 hereof, the number of shares of Common Stock subject to each such Award.

No transfer of an Option by an Optionholder by will or by the laws of descent and distribution shall be effective to bind the Company unless the Company shall have been furnished with written notice thereof and a copy of the will and/or such other evidence as the Administrator may determine necessary to establish the validity of the transfer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may permit the transfer of a Nonqualified Option as follows: (i) by gift to a member of the Optionholder’s immediate family or (ii) by transfer by instrument to a trust providing that the Option is to be passed to beneficiaries upon death of the trustor (the recipient of the Nonqualified Option under either or both of (i) or (ii) immediately above is referred to herein as a “Permitted Transferee”). For purposes of this Section 5.4(c) “immediate family” shall mean the Optionholder’s spouse (but shall not include a former spouse), child, stepchild, grandchild, child-in-law, parent, stepparent, grandparent, parent-in-law, sibling, and sibling-in-law and shall include adoptive relationships. A transfer of a Nonqualified Option permitted under this Section 5.4(c) may be made only upon written notice to and approval thereof by the Administrator. A Permitted Transferee may not further assign, sell or transfer the transferred Option, in whole or in part, other than by will or by operation of the laws of descent and distribution provided that the Company shall have been furnished with written notice thereof and a copy of the will and/or such other evidence as the Administrator may determine necessary to establish the validity of the transfer. In addition, following the transfer, the Nonqualified Option shall continue to be subject to the terms of this Plan and the Option Agreement evidencing the Nonqualified Option; provided, however, that where appropriate, the term “Optionholder” shall be deemed to apply to the Permitted Transferee. Upon the termination of Service of the Optionholder, the provisions of this Plan or the Option Agreement pursuant to which the Option was granted will apply to the Permitted Transferee as if such Permitted Transferee was substituted for the Optionholder in such provisions.

A-8


(d)Time and Amount Exercisable. Each Option shall be exercisable in accordance with the provisions of the Option Agreement pursuant to which it is granted in whole or in part, from time to time, subject to any limitations with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock for which the Option may be exercised at a particular time and to such other conditions as the Administrator, in its discretion, may specify in the applicable Option Agreement. Any portion of an Option which has become exercisable shall remain exercisable until it is exercised in full or it terminates or expires pursuant to the terms of the Plan or the applicable Option Agreement. The Administrator may provide that an Option may be immediately exercisable and provide that upon exercise of the Option, the Optionholder shall receive Restricted Shares subject to any remaining vesting restrictions on such Option.

(e)Terms of Incentive Options Granted to Ten Percent Stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Incentive Option shall be granted to any Employee who owns, directly or indirectly within the meaning of Section 424(d) of the Code, stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock of the Company or any Subsidiary, unless at the time the Incentive Option is granted, the exercise price of the Incentive Option is at least 110% of the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock subject to such Incentive Option and such Incentive Option, by its terms, is not exercisable after the expiration of five years from the date such Incentive Option is granted. For the purpose of clarification the limitations contained in this Section 5.4(e) shall not apply to the grant of Nonqualified Options.

(f)Payment of Exercise Price and Delivery of Shares; Tax Withholding.

(i) The entire exercise price of shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of Options shall, at the time of purchase, be paid for in full (the “Exercise Price��). To the extent that the right to purchase shares has become exercisable in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the applicable Option Agreement, Options may be exercised from time to time by written notice to the Administrator, stating the full number of shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised and the proposed time of delivery thereof (which shall be at least five (5) days after the giving of such notice, unless an earlier date shall have been mutually agreed upon by the Optionholder (or other person entitled to exercise the Option) and the Administrator), accompanied by payment to the Company of the Exercise Price in full. Such payment shall be effected (i) by certified or official bank check, (ii) if so permitted by the Administrator, by the delivery of a number of shares of Common Stock owned by the Participant duly endorsed for transfer to the Company (plus cash if necessary) having a Fair Market Value equal to the amount of such Exercise Price, (iii) if so permitted by the Administrator, by payment with financial assistance from the Company in accordance with the provisions of Section 7.4 hereof, (iv) during any period for which the Common Stock is readily tradable on an established securities market (i.e., the Common Stock is listed on any national securities exchange or traded in any recognized securities market system), by a copy of instructions to a broker directing such broker to sell the Common Stock for which such Option is exercised, and to remit to the Company the aggregate Exercise Price of such Options (a “Cashless Exercise”); or (v) subject to the discretion of the Administrator, upon such terms as the Administrator shall approve, by notice of exercise including a statement directing the Company to retain such number of shares of Common Stock from any transfer to the Optionholder (“Stock Withholding”) that otherwise would have been delivered by the Company upon exercise of the Option having a Fair Market Value equal to all or part of the Exercise Price of such Option exercise. In the event the Exercise Price requires retention of a fractional share, the number of shares subject to Stock Withholding shall be rounded down and the Optionholder shall be required to pay the remainder of the Exercise Price by certified or official bank check. Any shares retained for the purpose of satisfying the Stock Withholding shall not again be available for issuance under the Plan. Unless otherwise provided in the terms of an Option Agreement, payment of the exercise price by a Participant who is an officer, director or other “insider” subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act in the form of a Stock for Stock Exchange is subject to pre-approval by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. Any such pre-approval shall be documented in a manner that complies with the specificity requirements of Rule 16b-3, including the name of the Participant involved in the transaction, the nature of the transaction, the number of shares to be acquired or disposed of by the Participant and the material terms of the Award involved in the transaction.

(ii) In addition to payment of the Exercise Price, the Optionholder shall be required to include payment of the amount of all federal, state, local and other income, excise or employment taxes subject

A-9


to withholding (if any) by the Company or a Subsidiary as a result of the exercise of an Option. The Optionholder may pay all or a portion of the tax withholding by cash or check payable to the Company, or, at the discretion of the Administrator, upon such terms as the Administrator shall approve, by (i) certified or official bank check (ii) Cashless Exercise, if the Stock is readily tradable on an established securities market; (iii) tendering Common Stock owned by the Optionholder, duly endorsed for transfer to the Company, with a Fair Market Value on the date of delivery equal to the withholding due for the number of shares being exercised or purchased; (iv) by paying all or a portion of the tax withholding for the number of shares being purchased by withholding shares from any transfer or payment to the Optionholder (“Stock Withholding”); or (v) a combination of one or more of the foregoing payment methods. Any shares issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option and transferred by the Optionholder to the Company for the purpose of satisfying any withholding obligation shall not again be available for issuance under the Plan.The Administrator will, as soon as reasonably possible, notify the Optionholder (or such Optionholder’s representative) of the amount of employment tax and other withholding tax that must be paid under federal, state and local law due to the exercise of the Option. At the time of delivery, the Company shall, without transfer or issue tax to the Optionholder (or other person entitled to exercise the Option), deliver to the Optionholder (or to such other person) at the principal office of the Company, or such other place as shall be mutually agreed upon, a certificate or certificates for the Option Shares after the Exercise Price and all federal, state, local or other income, excise or employment taxes subject to withholding have been paid; provided, however, that the time of delivery may be postponed by the Administrator for such period as may be required for it with reasonable diligence to comply with any requirements of law. Unless otherwise provided in the terms of an Option Agreement, payment of the tax withholding by a Participant who is an officer, director or other “insider” subject to Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act by delivering previously owned and unencumbered shares of Common Stock of the Company or in the form of share withholding is subject to pre-approval by the Administrator, in its sole discretion. Any such pre-approval shall be documented in a manner that complies with the specificity requirements of Rule 16b-3, including the name of the Participant involved in the transaction, the nature of the transaction, the number of shares to be acquired or disposed of by the Participant and the material terms of the Award involved in the transaction.

(iii) Notwithstanding the foregoing, during any period for which the Common Stock is Publicly Traded, payment of the Exercise Price or tax withholding with a promissory note or other transaction by a Director or executive officer that involves or may involve a direct or indirect extension of credit or arrangement of an extension of credit by the Company or an Affiliate in violation of Section 402(a) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act (codified as Section 13(k) of the Exchange Act) is prohibited with respect to any Award under this Plan.

(g)Rights of Optionholder in Common Stock. Neither any Optionholder nor the legal representatives, heirs, legatees, distributees or Permitted Transferees of any Optionholder shall be deemed to be the holder of, or to have any of the rights of a holder with respect to, any Option Shares unless and until such shares of Common Stock are issued to such Person and such Person has received a certificate or certificates therefor. Upon the issuance and receipt of such certificate or certificates, such Option holder shall have absolute ownership of the shares of Common Stock evidenced thereby, including the right to vote such shares, to the same extent as any other owner of shares of Common Stock, and to receive dividends thereon, subject, however, to the terms, conditions and restrictions of the Plan and any other undertakings of such holder of Common Stock.

5.5Restricted Shares.

(a)General. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may from time to time authorize the grant of Restricted Shares to Employees, Directors or Consultants. The Administrator may determine the basis on which the restrictions imposed on the Restricted Shares may lapse. A certificate or certificates representing the number of Restricted Shares granted shall be registered in the name of the Participant. Until the expiration of the Restriction Period or the lapse of restrictions in the manner provided in Section 5.5(c) or ARTICLE VI, the certificate or certificates shall be held by the Company for the account of the Participant, and the Participant shall have beneficial ownership of the Restricted Shares, subject to the provisions of paragraph 5.5(b).

(b)Restrictions. Until the expiration of the Restriction Period or the lapse of restrictions in the manner provided in paragraph 5.5(c) or ARTICLE VI and the Participant’s satisfaction of applicable tax

A-10


withholding obligations attributable to the Award, Restricted Shares shall be subject to the following restrictions and any additional restrictions that the Administrator, in its sole discretion, may from time to time deem desirable in furtherance of the objectives of the Plan:

(i) The Participant shall not be entitled to receive the certificate or certificates representing the Restricted Shares;

(ii) The Restricted Shares may not be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged, conveyed, hypothecated, or otherwise disposed of;

(iii) The Restricted Shares will be forfeited immediately upon termination of Participant’s employment with the Company or one of its Subsidiaries, unless otherwise expressly provided herein or in the Award Agreement pursuant to such Restricted Shares were granted; and

(iv) The holder of Restricted Shares shall be entitled to receive dividends thereon and to vote such Restricted Shares.

(c)Waiver of Restrictions. The Administrator, in its sole discretion, may waive any or all restrictions with respect to Restricted Shares.

(d)Distribution of Restricted Shares. If a Participant to whom Restricted Shares have been granted continues to provide Services to the Company or a Subsidiary during the Restriction Period set forth in the Award Agreement, and all other applicable provisions of this Plan have been complied with (including, without limitation, the Participant’s satisfaction of applicable tax withholding obligations attributable to the Award), then upon the expiration of the Restriction Period all restrictions applicable to the Restricted Shares shall lapse, and the certificate or certificates representing the shares of Common Stock that were granted to the Participant in the form of Restricted Shares shall be delivered to the Participant.

(e)Agreement. An award of Restricted Shares hereunder shall be evidenced by an Award Agreement containing such terms and provisions as are approved by the Administrator, but not inconsistent with the Plan. The Company shall execute such Award Agreements upon instructions from the Administrator.

(f)Section 83(b) Election. Within thirty days after date a Participant is awarded Restricted Shares hereunder, the Participant may file a Code Section 83(b) election with the Internal Revenue Service with respect to all or a portion of the Restricted Shares. The Code Section 83(b) election, if any, shall be filed in compliance with the Treasury regulations promulgated pursuant to Code Section 83(b) of the Code.

5.6Restricted Stock Units.

(a)Nature of Restricted Stock Units. A Restricted Stock Unit is an Award of hypothetical Common Stock units having a value equal to the Fair Market Value of an identical number of shares of Common Stock. Each Restricted Stock Unit represents a right to receive one share of Common Stock from the Company at the payment date set forth in the Award Agreement. Until the Restricted Stock Units awarded shall have vested and become payable on the payment date specified in the Award Agreement, the Restricted Stock Units and any related securities, cash dividends or other property nominally credited to a Restricted Stock Unit account may not be sold, transferred, or otherwise disposed of and may not be pledged or otherwise hypothecated during such period (the “Restriction Period”) as the Administrator shall determine. Each Award of Restricted Stock Units will be in such form and shall contain such terms, conditions and Restriction Periods as the Administrator shall deem appropriate. The Administrator in its discretion may provide for an acceleration of the end of the Restriction Period in the terms of any Restricted Stock Unit Award, at any time, including the occurrence of a Sale of the Company. The terms and conditions of the Restricted Stock Units may be changed from time to time,

A-11


and the terms and conditions of separate Restricted Stock Unit Awards need not be identical, but each Restricted Stock Unit Award shall include (through incorporation of provisions hereof by reference in the Award Agreement or otherwise) the substance of each of the following provisions:

(b)Vesting. Shares of Common Stock acquired under the Restricted Stock Units may, but need not, be subject to an additional Restriction Period that specifies a Right of Repurchase in favor of the Company in accordance with a vesting schedule to be determined by the Administrator, or forfeiture in the event the consideration was in the form of services. The Administrator in its discretion may provide for an acceleration of vesting in the terms of any Restricted Stock Units or any Restricted Shares received as settlement of a Restricted Stock Unit, at any time, including in the event of a Sale of the Company.

(c)Termination of Participant’s Service. Unless otherwise provided in an Award Agreement or in an employment agreement the terms of which have been approved by the Administrator, if a Participant’s Service terminates for any reason, the Participant shall forfeit the unvested Restricted Stock Units acquired in consideration of prior or future services, and any or all of the shares of Common Stock held by the Participant which have not vested as of the date of termination under the terms of the Award Agreement shall be forfeited and the Participant shall have no rights with respect to the Award.

(d)Transferability. Rights to acquire shares of Common Stock under the Restricted Stock Units may be transferable by the Participant only upon such terms and conditions as are set forth in the Award Agreement, as the Administrator shall determine in its discretion, as long as Common Stock awarded under the Restricted Award remains subject to the terms of the Award Agreement.

(e)Lapse of Restrictions. Upon the expiration or termination of the Restriction Period and the satisfaction of any other conditions prescribed by the Administrator (including, without limitation, the Participant’s satisfaction of applicable tax withholding obligations attributable to the Award), the restrictions applicable to the Restricted Stock Units shall lapse and a stock certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock with respect to which the restrictions have lapsed shall be delivered, free of any restrictions except those that may be imposed by law, the terms of the Plan or the terms of a Restricted Stock Unit Award, to the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary or estate, as the case may be. The Company shall not deliver any fractional share of Common Stock but shall pay, in lieu thereof, the Fair Market Value of such fractional share in cash to the Participant or the Participant’s beneficiary or estate, as the case may be. The Common Stock certificate shall be issued and delivered and the Participant will be entitled to the beneficial ownership rights of such Common Stock not later than (i) the date that is 2-1/2 months after the end of the Participant’s taxable year for which the Restriction Period ends and the Participant has a legally binding right to such amounts; (ii) the date that is 2-1/2 months after the end of the Company’s taxable year for which the Restriction Period ends and the Participant has a legally binding right to such amounts, whichever is later; or (iii) such earlier date as may be necessary to avoid application of Code Section 409A to such Award.

5.7Performance Awards.

(a)Nature of Performance Awards. A Performance Award is an Award entitling the recipient to vest in or acquire shares of Common Stock or hypothetical Common Stock units having a value equal to the Fair Market Value of an identical number of shares of Common Stock that will be settled in the form of shares of Common Stock upon the attainment of specified performance goals. The Administrator may make Performance Awards independent of or in connection with the granting of any other Award under the Plan. Performance Awards may be granted under the Plan to any Participant, including those who qualify for awards under other performance plans of the Company. The Administrator in its sole discretion shall determine whether and to whom Performance Awards shall be made, the performance goals applicable under each Award, the periods during which performance is to be measured, and all other limitations and conditions applicable to the awarded shares; provided, however, that the Administrator may rely on the performance goals and other standards applicable to other performance plans of the Company in setting the standards for Performance Awards under the Plan. Performance goals shall be based on a pre-established objective formula or standard that specifies the manner of determining the number of shares of Common Stock under the Performance Award that will be

A-12


granted or will vest if the performance goal is attained. Performance goals shall be determined by the Administrator prior to the time 25% of the service period has elapsed, but not later than 90 days after the commencement of the period of service to which the performance goal relates, and may be based on one or more business criteria that apply to a Participant, a business unit or the Company and its Affiliates. Such business criteria may include revenue, sales, earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), Adjusted EBITDA, funds from operations, funds from operations per share, operating income, pre-tax or after-tax income, cash available for distribution, cash available for distribution per share, net earnings, earnings per share, return on equity, return on assets, return on capital, Implied Equity Value or other formula measure of enterprise value or economic value added, share price performance, improvements in the Company’s attainment of expense levels, implementing or completion of critical projects, improvement in cash-flow (before or after tax) or the occurrence of a Sale of the Company. A performance goal may be measured over a performance period on a periodic, annual, cumulative or average basis and may be established on a corporate-wide basis or established with respect to one or more operating units, divisions, subsidiaries, acquired businesses, minority investments, partnerships or joint ventures. More than one performance goal may be incorporated in a performance objective, in which case achievement with respect to each performance goal may be assessed individually or in combination with each other. The Administrator may, in connection with the establishment of performance goals for a performance period, establish a matrix setting forth the relationship between performance on two or more performance goals and the amount of the Performance Award payable for that performance period. The level or levels of performance specified with respect to a performance goal may be established in absolute terms, as objectives relative to performance in prior periods, as an objective compared to the performance of one or more comparable companies or an index covering multiple companies, or otherwise as the Administrator may determine. Performance goals shall be objective and, if the Company is required to be registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, shall otherwise meet the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code. Performance goals may differ for Performance Awards granted to any one Participant or to different Participants. A Performance Award to a Participant who is a Covered Employee shall (unless the Administrator determines otherwise) provide that in the event of the Participant’s termination of Continuous Service prior to the end of the performance period for any reason, such Award will be payable only (i) if the applicable performance objectives are achieved and (ii) to the extent, if any, the Administrator shall determine. Such objective performance goals are not required to be based on increases in a specific business criterion, but may be based on maintaining the status quo or limiting economic losses.

(b)Restrictions on Transfer. Performance Awards and all rights with respect to such Performance Awards may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise encumbered.

(c)Rights as a Stockholder. A Participant receiving a Performance Award that is denominated in shares of Common Stock or hypothetical Common Stock units shall have the rights of a stockholder only as to shares actually received by the Participant under the Plan and not with respect to shares subject to the Award but not actually received by the Participant. A Participant shall be entitled to receive a stock certificate evidencing the acquisition of shares of Common Stock under a Performance Award only upon satisfaction of all conditions specified in the written instrument evidencing the Performance Award (or in a performance plan adopted by the Administrator), including, without limitation, the Participant’s satisfaction of applicable tax withholding obligations attributable to the Award. The Common Stock certificate shall be issued and delivered and the Participant shall be entitled to the beneficial ownership rights of such Common Stock not later than (i) the date that is 2-1/2 months after the end of the Participant’s taxable year for which the Administrator certifies that the Performance Award conditions have been satisfied and the Participant has a legally binding right to such amounts; (ii) the date that is 2-1/2 months after the end of the Company’s taxable year for which the Administrator certifies that the Performance Award conditions have been satisfied and the Participant has a legally binding right to such amounts, whichever is later; or (iii) such other date as may be necessary to avoid application of Section 409A to such Awards.

(d)Termination. Except as may otherwise be provided by the Administrator at any time, a Participant’s rights in all Performance Awards shall automatically terminate upon the Participant’s termination of Service with the Company and its Affiliates for any reason.

A-13


(e)Acceleration, Waiver, Etc. Until such date as the Company Stock is required to be registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, or after such date with respect to Participants who are not Covered Employees, at any time prior to the Participant’s termination of employment (or other business relationship) by the Company and its Affiliates, the Administrator may in its sole discretion accelerate, waive or, subject to Section 8.1, amend any or all of the goals, restrictions or conditions imposed under any Performance Award. The Administrator in its discretion may provide for an acceleration of vesting in the terms of any Performance Award at any time, including the occurrence of a Sale of the Company. However, with respect to a Covered Employee after the Listing Date, no amendment or waiver of the performance goal will be permitted and no acceleration will be permitted unless the performance goal has been attained and the award is discounted to reasonably reflect the time value of money attributable to such acceleration.

(f)Certification. Following the completion of each performance period, the Administrator shall certify in writing, in accordance with the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code, whether the performance objectives and other material terms of a Performance Award have been achieved or met. Unless the Administrator determines otherwise, Performance Awards shall not be settled until the Administrator has made the certification specified under this Section 5.7(f).

5.8General Provisions Applicable to Restricted Awards.

(a)Purchase Price. The purchase price of Restricted Awards (including Performance Awards that may be settled in Common Stock), if any, and the sufficiency thereof shall be determined by the Administrator, and may be stated as cash, property, prior or future services. Shares of Common Stock acquired in connection with any Restricted Award may be issued for such consideration, having a value not less than the par value thereof, as determined from time to time by the Administrator.

(b)Consideration. The consideration for Common Stock acquired pursuant to the Restricted Award shall be paid either: (i) in cash at the time of purchase; or (ii) in any other form of legal consideration that may be acceptable to the Administrator in its discretion including, without limitation, a recourse promissory note, property or a Stock for Stock Exchange, or prior or future services that the Administrator determines have a value at least equal to the par value of such Common Stock.

ARTICLE VI.

TERMINATION OF SERVICE; SALE OF THE COMPANY;

CORPORATE EVENT; DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION

6.1Termination of Service for Cause. In the event that a Participant’s Service with the Company or a Subsidiary shall terminate for Cause, immediately upon such termination of Service all outstanding Awards granted to the Participant pursuant to this Plan shall be forfeited, such Awards shall terminate, the Company shall cancel any outstanding Restricted Shares, and such Awards (including any Restricted Shares) shall be of no further force or effect.

6.2Death or Disability.

(a) In the event that a Participant’s Service to the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated because of Participant’s death or Disability, the Participant or his estate or legal representative, as applicable, shall have the right to:

(i) exercise any Options granted hereunder at any time within one year after the date of termination of the Participant’s Service due to death or six months after the date of termination of the Participant’s Service due to Disability unless a longer period is otherwise required by the Code (but in no event later than the date on which the Option otherwise would have expired by its terms) only to the extent the Participant was entitled to exercise his Option immediately prior to such date of termination; provided that, in

A-14


addition to the Options held by such Participant that have already vested as of such date of termination, the lesser of (A) an additional twenty percent (20%) of the number of shares of Common Stock covered by the Option and (B) the remaining amount of unvested shares of Common Stock covered by the Option shall become vested and exercisable on the date of termination due to death or Disability; and

(ii) receive certificates for (x) all Restricted Shares on which the restrictions have lapsed in accordance with the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement and for which certificates have not previously been delivered by the Company as of the date of termination, and (y) thelesser of (A) an additional twenty percent (20%) of the number of Restricted Shares covered by the applicable Award Agreement measured as of the date of termination and (B) the remaining Restricted Shares covered by the applicable Award Agreement on which the restrictions have not lapsed as of the date of termination. The Company shall as promptly as practical deliver the certificates required to be delivered under this Section 6.2(a)(ii) to the Participant, his estate, or legal representative, as applicable.

(b) If a Participant dies during the three-month period after the termination of his Service to the Company or a Subsidiary and at the time of his death the Participant was entitled to exercise an Option theretofore granted to him, the Option shall, unless the applicable Option Agreement provides otherwise, expire one year after the date on which his position as an Employee, Director or Consultant of the Company or a Subsidiary terminated, but in no event later than the date on which the Option would have expired if the Participant had lived. Until the expiration of such period the Option may be exercised by the Participant’s executor or administrator or by any person or persons who shall have acquired the Option directly from the Participant by will or in accordance with the laws of descent and distribution, upon delivery of written notice thereof, a copy of the will, or such other evidence as the Administrator may determine necessary to establish the validity of the Transfer, but only to the extent that the Participant was entitled to exercise the Option at the date of his death and, to the extent the Option is not so exercised, it shall expire at the end of such period.

6.3Other Terminations. In the event that a Participant’s Service to the Company or a Subsidiary terminates other than for Cause or due to a Participant’s death or Disability pursuant to Sections 6.1 or 6.2 above, as applicable, the Participant shall have the right to (i) exercise any unexercised Options at any time within three months after such termination to the extent such Participant was entitled to exercise the same immediately prior to such termination and (ii) receive certificates for all Restricted Shares on which the restrictions have lapsed in accordance with this Plan and the applicable Award Agreement and for which certificates have not previously been delivered by the Company as of the date of termination. To the extent that restrictions on any Restricted Shares have not lapsed as of such termination date, the Company shall purchase any such Restricted Shares on which the restrictions have not lapsed at the cost paid by the Participant and the Company shall cancel such Restricted Shares as of such date and such Restricted Shares shall be of no further force or effect. To the extent that any Option is not exercised in accordance with this Section 6.3, such Option shall expire at the end of the three-month period beginning on the termination date.

6.4Sale of the Company. With respect to Options, upon a Sale of the Company, all outstanding Options shall become fully vested and exercisable without regard to the limitations on exercisability contained in Section 5.4 or the applicable Option Agreement immediately prior to such transaction. With respect to Restricted Awards, upon a Sale of the Company, all restrictions shall lapse automatically and the Administrator shall deliver certificates representing such shares of Common Stock to the Participant as promptly as practical prior to the consummation of such Sale of the Company. Upon the Sale of the Company, the Committee shall (i) cancel any or all outstanding Options and Restricted Stock Units under the Plan in consideration for payment to the Participants thereof of an amount equal to the portion of the consideration that would have been payable to such Participants pursuant to such transaction giving effect to the accelerated vesting and as if such Options and Restricted Stock Units had been fully vested immediately prior to such transaction, less the aggregate exercise price that would have been payable therefore and any required withholding tax and (ii) cause all RestrictedShares to be purchased for an equivalent consideration payable in such transaction. Payment of any amount payable pursuant to the preceding sentence may be made in cash or, in the event that the consideration to bereceived in such transaction includes securities or other property, in cash and/or publicly tradable securities in the Committee’s discretion.

A-15


6.5Corporate Event. In the event of any corporate separation or division, including, but not limited to, a split-up, a split-off or a spin-off of the assets of the Company; a merger, consolidation or exchange in which the Company is not the surviving entity; or a reverse merger or other exchange in which the Company is the surviving entity, but the shares of Company Common Stock outstanding immediately preceding the merger are converted by virtue of the merger or exchange into other property, whether in the form of securities, cash or otherwise that does not constitute a Sale of the Company (collectively, a “Corporate Event”), then, the Company, to the extent permitted by applicable law, but otherwise in its sole discretion may provide for: (i) the continuation of outstanding Awards by the Company (if the Company is the surviving entity); (ii) the assumption of the Plan and such outstanding Awards by the surviving entity or its parent; or (iii) the substitution by the surviving entity or its parent of Awards with substantially the same terms for such outstanding Awards.

6.6Dissolution or Liquidation of the Company. In the event of the proposed dissolution or liquidation of the Company that does not constitute a Sale of the Company, outstanding Awards granted hereunder shall terminate as of a date to be fixed by the Administrator; provided that not less than fifteen days’ prior written notice of the date so fixed shall be given to each Participant, and each Participant shall have the right, (i) to exercise his or her Options to the extent they are vested and exercisable and purchase or receive the full number of shares of Common Stock not previously exercised under such Options as applicable, if (and only if) such Options have not at the time expired or been terminated and (ii) to receive certificates for Common Stock under all of Participant’s Restricted Awards on which all restrictions have lapsed in accordance with the Plan and the applicable Award Agreement and for which certificates have not already been delivered prior to such termination date. Failing such exercise, any unexercised portion of all Options granted hereunder and all Restricted Awards on which restrictions have not lapsed as of the termination date shall be forfeited and deemed cancelled as of the effective date of such liquidation or dissolution. The Company shall deliver the certificates required to be delivered by clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence no later than 3 days prior to the termination date.

6.7Subject to Repurchase. At any time as the Common Stock ceases to be Publicly Traded, all shares of Common Stock purchased by an Optionholder or his or her Permitted Transferee or issued pursuant to Restricted Stock Units granted hereunder and all Restricted Shares granted hereunder (regardless of whether or not the restrictions have lapsed) shall be subject to repurchase pursuant to Section 9.3 of this Plan.

6.8Alternative Provisions. The provisions of this ARTICLE VI shall apply to all Awards granted under the Plan except to the extent expressly provided otherwise in any Award Agreement.

ARTICLE VII.

ADMINISTRATION OF PLAN

7.1Administration. The Plan shall be administered by the Board of Directors or a Committee of the Board of Directors in accordance with the terms of this ARTICLE VII (the “Administrator”). Any such committee appointed by the Board, or the Board itself during such periods as no such properly constituted and appointed committee exists, is herein referred to as the “Committee.” At such time as the Common Stock is required to be registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act, the Committee shall consist of not less than two Directors appointed to the Committee by the Board, each of whom shall be a member of the Board and each of whom shall qualify as (i) a Non-Employee Director and (ii) an Outside Director. However, the Board shall have discretion to determine whether or not it intends to comply with the exemption requirements of Rule 16b-3 and/or Section 162(m) of the Code. If the Board intends to satisfy such exemption requirements, with respect to Awards to any Covered Employee and with respect to any insider subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, the Committee shall be a compensation committee of the Board that at all times consists solely of two or more Non-Employee Directors who are also Outside Directors. Within the scope of such authority, the Board or the Committee may (i) delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board who are not Outside Directors the authority to grant Awards to eligible persons who are either (A) not then Covered Employees and are not expected to be Covered Employees at the time of recognition of income resulting from such Award or (B) not persons with respect to whom the Company wishes to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code, or (ii) delegate to a committee of one or more members of the Board who are not Non-Employee Directors the authority to grant

A-16


Awards to eligible persons who are not then subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act. Nothing herein shall create an inference that an Option is not validly granted under the Plan in the event Awards are granted under the Plan by a compensation committee of the Board that does not at all times consist solely of two or more Non-Employee Directors who are also Outside Directors. A majority of the Committee shall constitute a quorum thereof and the actions of a majority of the Committee approved at a meeting at which a quorum is present, or actions unanimously approved in writing by all members of the Committee, shall be the actions of the Committee. Vacancies occurring on the Committee shall be filled by the Board. The Board shall have full and final authority (i) to interpret the Plan and each of the Option Agreements and other Award Agreements evidencing Restricted Shares, Restricted Stock Units and Performance Awards, (ii) to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations, if any, relating to the Plan, (iii) to make all determinations necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan, (iv) to correct any defect, supply any omission and reconcile any inconsistency in the Plan and any Option Agreements or other Award Agreements, and (v) to amend any outstanding Option Agreements and other Award Agreements (collectively “Rights”) for the purpose of modifying the time or manner of vesting, the Purchase Price or Exercise Price, as the case may be, subject to applicable legal restrictions; provided, however, that if any such amendment impairs a Participant’s Rights or increases a Participant’s obligations under such Participant’s Right, such amendment shall also be subject to the Participant’s consent. For the purposes of clarity, a purchase of a Participant’s Rights in accordance with this Plan or the applicable Award in which the Participant receives consideration for such Right shall in no event be deemed an impairment of the Participant’s Rights that requires consent from such Participant. The determination by the Board in all matters referred to herein shall be conclusive and binding for all purposes and upon all persons, including, without limitation, the Company, the stockholders of the Company, the Administrator, and each of the members thereof, and the Optionholders and the Participants and their respective successors in interest. The Board may delegate such authority to the Committee (if the Board is not the Administrator) with respect to this Plan as it deems to be in the Company’s best interests in its sole discretion, pursuant to a resolution of the Board granting such authority. However, the Board will retain ultimate authority in all matters related to this Plan or any Awards granted hereunder.

7.2Liability. No member of the Board or any Committee shall be liable for anything done or omitted to be done by him or by any other member of the Board or any Committee in connection with the Plan, except for his own willful misconduct or gross negligence (unless the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or any indemnification agreement between the Company and such person, in each case in accordance with applicable law, provides otherwise). The Board and any Committee shall have power to engage outside consultants, auditors or other professional help to assist in the fulfillment of the duties of the Board or any Committee under the Plan at the Company’s expense.

7.3Determinations. In making its determinations concerning the Participants who shall receive Options and Restricted Awards, as well as the number of shares of Common Stock to be covered thereby and the time or times at which they shall be granted, the Administrator shall take into account the nature of the Service rendered by such Participants, their past, present and potential contribution to the Company’s success and such factors as the Administrator may deem relevant. The Administrator shall determine the form of Award Agreements evidencing Awards under the Plan and the terms and conditions to be included therein; provided such terms and conditions are not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws. The Administrator may waive any provisions of any Award Agreement, provided such waiver is not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws. The determinations of the Administrator under the Plan need not be uniform and may be made by it selectively among persons who receive, or are eligible to receive, Options or Restricted Awards under the Plan, whether or not such persons are similarly situated. All powers exercised by the Administrator hereunder shall be subject to the ultimate authority of the Board.

7.4Financial Assistance. Subject to any prohibitions, restrictions or other requirements contained in the Securities Laws and any other applicable law, and prior to the Company becoming a registrant or an issuer under the Securities Laws, the Company is vested with authority under this Plan to assist any Participant to whom an Option is granted hereunder in the payment of the Exercise Price payable on exercise of that Option by lending

A-17


the amount of such Exercise Price to such Participant pursuant to a full recourse promissory note on such terms and at such rates of interest and upon such security (or unsecured) as shall have been authorized by or under authority of the Administrator. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event there is a stated par value of the Common Stock and applicable law requires, the par value of the Common Stock, if newly issued, shall be paid in cash or cash equivalents. The interest rate payable under the terms of the promissory note shall not be less than the minimum rate (if any) required to avoid the imputation of additional interest under the Code. Unless the Board determines otherwise, shares of Common Stock having a Fair Market Value at least equal to the principal amount of the loan shall be pledged by the holder to the Company as security for payment of the unpaid balance of the loan and such pledge shall be evidenced by a pledge agreement, the terms of which shall be determined by the Board, in its discretion; provided, however, that each loan shall comply with all applicable laws, regulations and rules of the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System and any other governmental agency having jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all financial assistance provided by the Company to a Participant pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall be repaid in full no later than immediately prior to the Company becoming a registrant or an issuer under the Securities Laws.

7.5Withholding. The Administrator may establish such rules and procedures as it considers desirable in order to satisfy any obligation of the Company or its Subsidiaries to withhold Federal, state or local income tax or other employment taxes with respect to any Awards granted, exercised or surrendered under the Plan and may impose such requirements as a condition to the transfer or release of Common Stock to any Participant.

ARTICLE VIII.

AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION OF PLAN

8.1Amendment of Plan. The Plan may be amended at any time and from time to time by the Board, but no amendment which (i) increases the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which may be issued pursuant to Awards granted under the Plan or (ii) changes the class of individuals eligible to be granted Awards, shall be effective unless and until the same is approved by the Requisite Holders or the written consent of such Requisite Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing and subject to the provisions of Section 8.4, no amendment to the Plan that has a material, adverse affect on a Participant with regard to outstanding Awards shall be effective, without the consent of such Participant.

8.2Other Award Provisions. Options, Restricted Awards and other Performance Awards granted under this Plan shall contain such other terms and provisions which are not inconsistent with this Plan or other undertakings of the Participant in his/her capacity as such or as a holder of Common Stock or Restricted Shares, as the Board or Committee may authorize, including but not limited to (a) vesting schedules governing the exercisability of such Options and other Awards, (b) provisions for acceleration of such vesting schedules in certain events, (c) arrangements whereby the Company may fulfill any tax withholding obligations it may have in connection with the exercise of such Options, Restricted Awards and Performance Awards, (d) provisions imposing restrictions upon the transferability of Common Stock acquired on exercise of such Options, Restricted Awards or Performance Awards, whether required by this Plan, Securities Laws or imposed for other reasons, and (e) provisions regarding the termination or survival of any such Options, Restricted Awards or Performance Awards, upon the Participant’s death, Disability, retirement or other termination of Service and the extent, if any, to which any such Options may be exercised or the restrictions on any Restricted Award or Performance Award may be caused to lapse after such event. Incentive Options shall contain the terms and provisions required of them under the Code.

8.3Termination. The Board may, at any time, terminate the Plan as of any date specified in a resolution adopted by the Board. If not earlier terminated, the Plan shall terminate on March 26, 2018, the day prior to the tenth anniversary of the Restatement Effective Date. No Awards may be granted or awarded after the Plan has terminated, but the Administrator shall continue to supervise the administration of Awards previously granted or awarded.

A-18


8.4Tax Status of Options. To the extent applicable, the Plan is intended to permit the issuance of Incentive Options to Employees in accordance with the provisions of Section 422 of the Code. Subject to the provision of Sections 7.4 and 8.1 of the Plan, the Plan and Option Agreements may be modified or amended at any time, both prospectively and retroactively, and in a manner that may affect Options previously granted, if such amendment or modification is necessary for the Plan and Options granted hereunder to qualify under said provision of the Code. It is expressly contemplated that the Board may amend the Plan in any respect the Board deems necessary or advisable to provide eligible Participants with the maximum benefits provided or to be provided under the provisions of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder relating to Incentive Stock Options or to the nonqualified deferred compensation provisions of Section 409A of the Code and/or to bring the Plan and/or Awards granted under it into compliance therewith. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company shall have no liability to any Participant or any other person if an Option designated as an Incentive Stock Option fails to qualify as such at any time or if an Option is determined to constitute “nonqualified deferred compensation” within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and the terms of such Option do not satisfy the additional conditions applicable to nonqualified deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code. The Option Agreement shall specify whether the Option is an Incentive Option or Nonqualified Option. To the extent that any portion of the Options granted under the Plan does not meet the requirements of Section 422 of the Code or the Option is not specified as an Incentive Option in the Option Agreement, such Options or portion thereof shall be deemed to be Nonqualified Options. Nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to prohibit the issuance of Nonqualified Options to Employees, Directors and Consultants under the Plan.

ARTICLE IX.

MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

9.1Restrictions Upon Grant of Awards. If the listing upon any stock exchange or the registration or qualification under any federal or state law of any shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to an Award granted under the Plan (whether to permit the grant of Awards, the issuance of shares of Common Stock to any Permitted Transferee or the resale or other disposition of any such shares of Common Stock by or on behalf of the Participants receiving such shares) should be or become required or desirable for the Company, the Board in its sole discretion may determine that delivery of the certificates for such shares of Common Stock shall not be made until such listing, registration or qualification shall have been completed. The Company agrees that it will use its reasonable efforts to effect any such listing, registration or qualification; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to use its reasonable efforts to effect such registration under the Securities Act of 1933 other than on Form S-8 or such other forms as may be in effect from time to time calling for information comparable to that presently required to be furnished under Form S-8. The previous sentence does not grant a Participant registration rights with respect to Common Stock. In no event shall the Company be required to register shares of Common Stock for issuance to a Permitted Transferee and any requested exercise of Options by a Permitted Transferee shall be subject to any applicable prior registration of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such exercise. Any Award granted to a Participant who is a resident of California shall comply with the additional requirements specified in Addendum A attached hereto and forming part of this Plan.

9.2Restrictions Upon Resale of Unregistered Stock. Each Participant shall, if the Company deems it advisable, represent and agree in writing (i) that any shares of Common Stock acquired by such Participant pursuant to this Plan will not be sold except pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 or pursuant to an exemption from registration under said Act, (ii) that such Participant is acquiring such shares of Common Stock for his or her own account and not with a view to the distribution thereof and (iii) to such other customary matters as the Company may request. In such case, no shares of Common Stock shall be issued to such Participant unless such Participant provides such representations and agreements and the Company is reasonably satisfied that such representations and agreements are correct.

9.3Repurchase by the Company and/or its Designee; Restriction on Transfer; Right of First Refusal.

(a) At any time the Common Stock ceases to be Publicly Traded, the Company and its Designee shall have the right (the “Repurchase Right”), to repurchase any shares of Common Stock that were acquired

A-19


pursuant to the exercise or vesting of an Award under this Plan (“Award Shares”) (or securities into which such Award Shares have been converted) at the Repurchase Price (as hereinafter defined) upon termination of a Participant’s Service with the Company or its Subsidiaries. To the extent that a Participant holds exercisable Options at the time of such termination of Service, the Company or its Designee, as applicable, may elect to purchase such exercisable Options in the same manner as if you marked, signed and returned your proxy card. _ INTERNET – www.proxypush.com/cnk Use the Option Shares atInternet to vote your proxy until 12:00 p.m. (CT) on May 21, 2014. _PHONE – 1-866-883-3382 Use a price equaltouch-tone telephone to the Repurchase Price less the Exercise Price of such exercisable Options. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company’svote your proxy until 12:00 p.m. (CT) on May 21, 2014. _ MAIL – Mark, sign and its Designee’s right to repurchase Award Shares under this Section 9.3 shall not apply during any period the Company’s Common Stock is Publicly Traded.

(b) The Repurchase Price to be paid by the Company or a Designee if the Participant’s Service terminates or is terminated for any reason shall be the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock underlying the vested Award Shares.

(c) To the extent that the Company or its Designee has the right to repurchase Award Shares, the Company or its Designee may exercise such right by delivery of written notice to the Participant (or such other holder of Award Shares) stating the full number of Award Shares that the Company or its Designee has elected to repurchase, the Repurchase Price per Award Share,date your proxy card and the time of repurchase (which time shall not be earlier than 5 days from the date of notice). The Repurchase Right may be exercised until the later of (i) fifteen (15) days after the expiration of the Award, (ii) two hundred (200) days after (A) the latest purchase by, vesting or transfer from the Company of Award Shares to the Participant or (B) the latest receipt by Participant of certificates representing Award Shares on which the restrictions have lapsed and for which certificates have not been delivered by the Company and (iii) sixty (60) days after the date of Participant’s termination of Service to the Company or a Subsidiary. At the time of repurchase, the Participant shall deliver the certificate or certificates representing his Award Shares to the Company or its Designee, as applicable, at its offices and shall execute any stock powers or other instruments as may be necessary to transfer full ownership of the Option Shares or Restricted Shares to the Company or its Designee. At the time of repurchase, the Company or its Designee shall issue their own check within ten (10) days to the Participant in an amount equal to the aggregate Repurchase Price for the Award Shares for which the Company or its Designee has exercised its right to repurchase, less any amounts required to be withheld under applicable laws. In the event of Participant’s death or Disability, the Company’s or its Designee’s right to purchase and the manner of purchase shall apply with regard to the Participant’s estate, beneficiary, administrator or personal representative.

(d) If the Company’s Common Stock is not Publicly Traded, then during the period a Participant is employed by the Company or a Subsidiary, and for six months after such Participant’s Service to the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated, such Participant shall not, except as provided in this Plan with respect to a Sale of the Company or a Corporate Event, transfer, pledge, mortgage or otherwise encumber or make any disposition of Option Shares or Restricted Shares whatsoever, whether voluntary or involuntary without the Company’s prior written consent (collectively, a “Disposition”), other than to the Company or a Designee. Any purported or attempted Disposition of shares of Common Stock made in violation of this Section 9.3(d) shall be void and of no force and effect.

(e) If (i) the Company or a Designee does not exercise its Repurchase Right as described in this Section 9.3, (ii) the Participant is not otherwise prohibited from making a Disposition of shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Plan and (iii) the Company’s Common Stock is not Publicly Traded, then if a Participant receives a written offer from any bona fide third party purchaser(s) to acquire some or all of the Option Shares of the Participant (the “Offered Shares”), and the Participant intends to accept such offer, the Participant shall first make an irrevocable offer (the “Offer”) to sell the Offered Shares to the Company. The Offer shall be written and either actually delivered or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, to the Company and shall identify the Offered Shares, the name and address of the prospective purchaser and the terms of the Offer by said prospective purchaser to purchase the Offered Shares. The date of the Offer shall be the date on which a notice containing the Offer has been actually delivered or sent to the Company. The Company or a Designee shall have the irrevocable right and option (the “Right of First Refusal”), for 60 days following the date such notice has been actually delivered or sent, to purchase the Offered Shares at the price stipulatedit in the Offer and, in the sole discretion of the Companypostage-paid envelope provided. If you vote your proxy by Internet or the Designee, either for cash or on the same credit terms as those contained in theby Telephone, you do NOT need to mail back your Proxy Card.

Offer. If the stated price set forth in the Offer includes any property other than cash, such stated price shall be deemed to be the amount of any cash included in the stated price plus the value, as determined by the Company, of such other property included in such price. The Company or the Designee shall exercise its Right of First Refusal to purchase the Offered Shares hereunder by actual delivery to the Participant of a written notice of intent to purchase such Offered Shares or by sending such notice by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, properly stamped and addressed to the address of the Participant. The sale and purchase shall be closed at the offices of the Company or the Designee or its counsel on such date within 30 days thereafter as the Company or the Designee shall determine. Upon the exercise of the Right of First Refusal, the Company or the Designee shall be obligated at the closing to make payment as provided above and the Participant shall be obligated at the closing to duly endorse and deliver to the Company or the Designee the certificate(s) evidencing the Offered Shares. Certificates representing the Offered Shares purchased shall be delivered by the Participant at the closing against payment. Each such certificate shall be endorsed in blank or have attached a duly executed stock power, in each case in proper form for transfer. By delivering the certificates at the closing, the Participant shall be deemed to represent (and so shall certify if requested by the Company or the Designee) that the sale of the Common Stock has been duly authorized, the certificates evidencing the Common Stock have been duly and validly endorsed and delivered for transfer to the purchaser and that the Company will receive good title to such shares, free and clear of all liens, security interests, pledges, charges, encumbrances, stockholders’ agreements, voting trusts, and preemptive rights.

9.4Adjustments. The number of shares of Common Stock authorized for issuance under the Plan, as well as the price to be paid and the number of shares issued upon exercise of outstanding Options, shall be adjusted by the Company to reflect any stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, dissolution or liquidation of the Company, any corporate separation or division (including, but not limited to, a split-up, a split-off or a spin-off), a merger, consolidation or exchange, a reverse merger or similar transaction which does not constitute a Sale of the Company. All adjustments permitted by this Plan shall be made by the Administrator in a manner that is intended to provide an appropriate adjustment that neither increases or decreases the value of such Award as in effect immediately prior to such corporate change, and the Administrator’s determination as to what adjustments shall be made and the extent thereof shall be final, binding and conclusive for all purposes of the Plan and of each Option Agreement or other Award Agreement; provided, however, that each Incentive Option granted pursuant to the Plan shall not be adjusted in a manner that causes such Incentive Option to fail to continue to qualify as an Incentive Option without the prior consent of the Optionholder thereof.

9.5Use of Proceeds. The proceeds from the sale of Common Stock pursuant to Options and Restricted Shares granted under the Plan shall constitute general funds of the Company and may be used for such corporate purposes as the Company may determine.

9.6Substitution of Options.

(a) The Administrator may, without the consent of the holder of any Option granted under the Plan, cancel such Option and grant a new Option in substitution therefor, provided that the new Option as so substituted shall satisfy all of the requirements of the Plan as of the date such new Option is granted.

(b) Options may be granted under the Plan in substitution for options held by individuals who are employees, directors or consultants of another corporation and who become Employees, Directors or Consultants of the Company or any Subsidiary of the Company eligible to receive Options pursuant to the Plan as a result of a merger, consolidation, exchange, reorganization or similar event described in ARTICLE VI. The terms and conditions of any Options so granted may vary from those set forth in the Plan to the extent deemed appropriate by the Administrator in order to conform the provisions of Options granted pursuant to the Plan to the provisions of the options in substitution for which they are granted.

 

A-21LOGO


9.7Restrictive Legends.

(a) Certificates representing shares of Common Stock delivered pursuant to the exercise of Options and Restricted Stock Units and certificates representing Restricted Shares shall bear an appropriate legend referring to the terms, conditions and restrictions described in this Plan. Any attempt to dispose of any such shares of Common Stock or Restricted Shares in contravention of the terms, conditions and restrictions described in the Plan shall be ineffective, null and void, and the Company shall not effect any such transfer on its books.

(b) Any shares of Common Stock of the Company received by a Participant (or his or her heirs, legatees, distributees or legal representative) or any Restricted Shares received as a stock dividend on, or as a result of a stock split, combination, exchange of shares, reorganization, merger, consolidation or otherwise with respect to, shares of Common Stock received pursuant to the exercise or grant of Awards, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan and bear the same legend as the shares received pursuant to the exercise or the grant of Awards.

9.8Market Stand-Off. Each Option Agreement and Award Agreement shall provide that in connection with any underwritten public offering by the Company of its equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including the Company’s initial public offering, the Participant shall agree not to sell, make any short sale of, loan, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option for the repurchase of, transfer the economic consequences of ownership or otherwise dispose or transfer for value or otherwise agree to engage in any of the foregoing transactions with respect to any Common Stock acquired pursuant to this Plan without the prior written consent of the Company or its underwriters, for such period of time from and after the effective date of such registration statement as may be requested by the Company or such underwriters (the “Market Stand-Off”). In order to enforce the Market Stand-Off, the Company may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the Common Stock acquired under this Plan until the end of the applicable stand-off period. If there is any change in the number of outstanding shares of Common Stock by reason of a stock split, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, combination, reclassification, dissolution or liquidation of the Company, any corporate separation or division (including, but not limited to, a split-up, a split-off or a spin-off), a merger or consolidation; a reverse merger or similar transaction, then any new, substituted or additional securities which are by reason of such transaction distributed with respect to any Common Stock subject to the Market Stand-Off, or into which such Common Stock thereby become convertible, shall immediately be subject to the Market Stand-Off.

9.9Notices. Any notice required or permitted hereunder shall be sufficiently given only if delivered personally, sent by registered or certified mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to the Company at its principal place of business or sent by a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, and to the Participant at the address on file with the Company at the time of grant hereunder, or to such other address as either party may hereafter designate in writing by notice similarly given by one party to the other.

9.10Prior Option Agreements. Each Option Agreement entered into prior to the Restatement Effective Date (as hereinafter defined) is hereby amended to conform to the exercise provisions of Section 5.4 of the Plan.

9.11Restatement Effective Date. The Board has determined that it is in the best interest of the Company to amend and restate the Cinemark Holdings, Inc. 2006 Long Term Incentive Plan, as amended to the date hereof, as provided herein.

B-2


partnerships or joint ventures. More than one Performance Factor may be incorporated in a Performance Target, in which case achievement with respect to each Performance Factor may be assessed individually or in combination with each other.

(o)Plan” means the Cinemark Holdings, Inc. Performance Bonus Plan.

(p)Publicly Held Corporation” means a corporation issuing any class of equity securities required to be registered under Section 12 of the Exchange Act and shall have the meaning set forth in Section 162(m)(2) of the Code.

(a)In General. The Plan shall be administered by the Administrator. The Administrator has the authority in its sole discretion, subject to and not inconsistent with the express provisions of the Plan, to administer the Plan and to exercise all the powers and authorities either specifically granted to it under the Plan or necessary or advisable in the administration of the Plan, including, without limitation, the authority to grant Awards; to determine the persons to whom and the time or times at which Awards shall be granted; to determine the terms, conditions, restrictions and performance criteria, including Performance Factors and Performance Targets, relating to any Award; to determine whether, to what extent, and under what circumstances an Award may be settled, canceled, forfeited, or surrendered; to make adjustments in the Performance Targets in recognition of unusual or non-recurring events affecting the Company or the financial statements of the Company, or in response to changes in applicable laws, regulations, or accounting principles; to construe and interpret the Plan and any Award; to prescribe, amend and rescind rules and regulations relating to the Plan; to determine the terms and provisions of Awards; and to make all other determinations deemed necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan.

(b)Delegation to Committee. During any period that the Company is a Publicly Held Corporation, the Board shall delegate its authority to administer the Plan to a compensation committee. If the Board delegates its responsibility with respect to the administration of the Plan to a compensation committee thereof, the Administrator shall consist of two or more persons each of whom shall be an “outside director” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. All decisions, determinations and interpretations of the Administrator shall be final and binding on all persons, including the Company and the Participant (or any person claiming any rights under the Plan from or through any Participant).

(c)Reliance and Indemnification. The Administrator and any members thereof shall be entitled to, in good faith, rely or act upon any report or other information furnished to him or her by any officer or employee of the Company, the Company’s independent certified public accountants, consultants or any other agent assisting in the administration of the Plan. The Administrator, any members of the compensation committee and any officer or employee of the Company acting at the direction or on behalf of the Administrator shall not be personally liable for any action or determination taken or made in good faith with respect to the Plan, and shall, to the extent permitted by law, be fully indemnified and protected by the Company with respect to any such action or determination.

4.Eligibility.

Awards may be granted to Participants in the sole discretion of the Administrator. In determining the persons to whom Awards are granted, the Performance Factors and Performance Targets relating to each Award, the Administrator may take into account such factors as the Administrator deems relevant in connection with accomplishing the purposes of the Plan. The Administrator may establish different levels or classifications of Participants who are eligible to receive Awards under the Plan.

B-3


5.Terms of Awards.

Awards granted pursuant to the Plan will be communicated to Participants in such form as the Administrator may from time to time approve and the terms and conditions of such Awards will be set forth therein.

(a)In General. The Administrator will specify with respect to a Performance Period the Performance Factors and the Performance Targets applicable to each Award. Performance Targets may include a level of performance below which no payment will be made and levels of performance at which specified percentages of the Award will be paid as well as a maximum level of performance above which no additional Award will be paid.

(b)Time and Form of Payment. Unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, all payments in respect of Awards granted under this Plan will be made, in cash, within a reasonable period after the end of the Performance Period, but in the case of Awards designed not to be deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, not later than the latest date at which such Awards will still qualify for the exemption from Section 409A applicable to short-term deferrals. In the case of Participants who are Covered Employees, unless otherwise determined by the Administrator, such payments will be made only in accordance with the requirements of Section 6 after achievement of the Performance Targets has been certified by the Administrator.

6.Awards to Covered Employees.

(a)Additional Conditions. If the Administrator determines at the time an Award is established for a Participant that the Company is a Publicly Held Corporation and such Participant is, or may be as of the end of the tax year for which the Company would claim a tax deduction in connection with such Award, a Covered Employee, then this Section 6 is applicable to such Award under such terms as the Administrator determines.

(b)Establishment of Performance Criteria and Performance Targets. If an Award is subject to this Section 6, then the payment of cash pursuant thereto is subject to the Company achieving the applicable Performance Target for the applicable Performance Period set by the Administrator within the time prescribed by Section 162(m) of the Code or the regulations thereunder in order for the level to be considered “pre-established.” Performance Factors and Performance Targets will be considered pre-established if they are adopted by the Administrator not later than the earlier of (i) 90 days after the commencement of the Performance Period and (ii) the time when 25 percent of the Performance Period has elapsed.

(c)Required Adjustments. To preserve the intended incentives and benefits of an Award based on revenue, net sales, operating income, EBIT, EBITA, EBITDA or Adjusted EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA Margin, cash flow, return on equity or average stockholders’ equity, return on assets, sales (net or gross), earnings per share, earnings from continuing operations, levels of expense, cost or liability, the Administrator shall apply the objective formula or standard with respect to the applicable Performance Target in a manner that shall eliminate the effects of the following:

(i) the gain, loss, income or expense resulting from changes in accounting principles that become effective during the Performance Period;

(ii) the gain, loss, income or expense reported by the Company in its public filings with respect to the performance period that are extraordinary or unusual in nature or infrequent in occurrence,

(iii) the gains or losses resulting from, and the direct expenses incurred in connection with, any business, theatre or theatres disposed of by the Company or any of its subsidiaries during the Performance Period to the extent that such dispositions were not included in the operating budget for the Performance Period for which the Performance Target was established;

(iv) the Performance Target and the actual results shall be reduced by the pro forma gain, loss, income or expense of any business or theatre or theatres disposed of by the Company or any of its subsidiaries during the Performance Period to the extent that such dispositions were not included in the operating budget for the Performance Period for which the Performance Target was established; and

B-4


(v) the Performance Target shall be reduced in the event of a the cessation of operations of any business, theatre or theatres as a result of natural disaster by an amount equal to the lost pro forma gain, loss, income or expense attributable to such business, theatre or theatres during such period of ceased operations based upon the operating budget for the Performance Period for which the Performance Target was established.

The Administrator may, however, provide at the time the Performance Targets are established that one or more of the foregoing adjustments will not be made as to a specific Award. In addition, the Administrator may determine at the time the Performance Targets are established that other adjustments shall apply to the objective formula or standard with respect to the applicable Performance Target to take into account, in whole or in part, in any manner specified by the Administrator, any one or more of the following with respect to the Performance Period: (1) gain or loss from all or certain claims and/or litigation and all or certain insurance recoveries relating to claims or litigation, (2) the impact of impairment of tangible or intangible assets, (3) the impact of restructuring activities, including but not limited to reductions in force, that are reported in the Company’s public filings covering the Performance Period and (4) the impact of investments or acquisitions made during the year or, to the extent provided by the Administrator, any prior year. Each of the adjustments described in this Section 6(c) may relate to the Company as a whole or any part of the Company’s business or operations, as determined by the Administrator at the time the Performance Targets are established. The adjustments are to be determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and standards, unless another objective method of measurement is designated by the Administrator. In addition to the foregoing, the Administrator shall adjust any Performance Factors, Performance Targets or other features of an Award that relate to or are wholly or partially based on the number of, or the value of, any shares, to reflect a change in the Company’s capitalization, such as a stock split or dividend, or a corporate transaction, such as a merger, consolidation, separation (including a spin-off or other distribution of stock or property), or a reorganization of the Company.

(d)Discretionary Adjustments. The Administrator may, in its discretion, at any time establish (and, once established, rescind, waive or amend) additional conditions and terms of payment of Awards (including but not limited to the achievement of other financial, strategic or individual goals, which may be objective or subjective) as it may deem desirable in carrying out the purposes of the Plan and may take into account such other factors as it deems appropriate in administering any aspect of the Plan, including to reduce the amount of such an Award at any time prior to payment based on such criteria as it shall determine, including but not limited to individual merit and the attainment of specified levels of one or any combination of the Performance Factors. Notwithstanding any contrary provision of this Plan, the Administrator may not adjust upwards the amount payable pursuant to any Award subject to this Section 6, nor may it waive the achievement of the Performance Target requirement contained in Section 6(b), except in the case of the death or disability of the Participant or a change in control of the Company.

(e)Certification. Prior to the payment of any Award subject to this Section 6, the Administrator must certify in writing that the Performance Target requirement applicable to such Award was satisfied or attained.

(f)Additional Restrictions. The Administrator has the power to impose such other restrictions on Awards subject to this Section 6 as it deems necessary or appropriate to ensure that such Awards satisfy all requirements for “performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Code, the regulations promulgated thereunder, and any successors thereto.

(g)Maximum Individual Bonus. Notwithstanding any other provision in the Plan, no employee may receive a payment attributable to an Award under the Plan for any one year in excess of the lesser of (i) 200 percent of the Participant’s base salary at the time the Award is established or (ii) $3 million. The foregoing limit is subject to adjustments consistent with Section 6(h) in the event of acceleration or deferral.

(h)Express Authority (and Limitations on Authority) to Change Terms and Conditions of Awards; Acceleration or Deferral of Payment. Without limiting the Administrator’s authority under other provisions of the Plan, but subject to any express limitations of the Plan and compliance with Section 162(m), the

B-5


Administrator has the authority to accelerate an Award that is designed not to be deferred compensation within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (after the attainment of the applicable Performance Target(s)) and to waive restrictive conditions for an Award (including any forfeiture conditions, but not Performance Target(s)), in such circumstances as the Administrator deems appropriate. In the case of any acceleration of an Award after the attainment of the applicable Performance Target(s), the amount payable shall be discounted to its present value using an interest rate equal to Moody’s Average Corporate Bond Yield for the month preceding the month in which such acceleration occurs (or such other rate of interest that is deemed to constitute a “reasonable rate of interest” for purposes of Section 162(m)). In addition, and notwithstanding anything elsewhere in the Plan to the contrary, the Administrator has the authority to provide under the terms of an Award that payment or vesting may be accelerated upon the death or disability of a Participant, a change in control of the Company, or, after the attainment of the applicable Performance Target(s) upon termination of the Participant’s employment without cause or as a constructive termination, as and in the manner provided by the Administrator, and subject to such provision not causing the Award or the Plan to fail to satisfy the requirements for performance-based compensation under Section 162(m) generally.

7.General Provisions.

(a)Compliance with Legal Requirements. The Plan and the granting and payment of Awards, and the other obligations of the Company under the Plan, are subject to all applicable federal and state laws, rules and regulations, and to such approvals by any regulatory or governmental agency as may be required.

(b)Stockholder Approval. No Award may be paid under this Plan prior to the date that stockholders of the Company receive disclosure of and approve the material terms of the Performance Factors under the Plan. As and to the extent provided under Section 162(m) of the Code, the material terms of the Performance Factors under the Plan must be disclosed to and reapproved by the Company’s stockholders no later than the first stockholder meeting that occurs in the fifth year following the year in which the stockholders previously approved the Performance Factors under the Plan.

(c)Nontransferability. Awards are not transferable by a Participant except upon the Participant’s death following the end of the Performance Period but prior to the date payment is made, in which case the Award shall be payable to the Participant’s designated beneficiary or, if no beneficiary has been designated, transferable by will or the laws of descent and distribution.

(d)No Right to Continued Employment. Nothing in the Plan or in any Award granted pursuant hereto confers upon any Participant the right to continue in the employ of the Company or to be entitled to any remuneration or benefits not set forth in the Plan or to interfere with or limit in any way the right of the Company to terminate such Participant’s employment.

(e)Withholding Taxes. Where a Participant or other person is entitled to receive a payment pursuant to an Award hereunder, the Company has the right to withhold or otherwise require the Participant or such other person to pay to the Company the amount of any taxes that the Company may be required to withhold before delivery to such Participant or other person of such payment.

(f)Amendment, Termination and Duration of the Plan. The Administrator may at any time and from time to time alter, amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan in whole or in part; provided that, no amendment that requires stockholder approval in order for the Plan to continue to comply with Code Section 162(m) shall be effective unless the same shall be approved by the requisite vote of the stockholders of the Company.

(g)Participant Rights. No Participant has any claim to be granted any Award under the Plan, and there is no obligation for uniformity of treatment for Participants.

(h)Termination of Employment. Unless otherwise provided by the Administrator in connection with specified terminations of employment, if a Participant’s employment terminates for any reason prior to the end of a Performance Period prior to the payment of any Award for any reason other than death or disability, no Award

B-6


is payable to such Participant for that Performance Period. A Participant whose termination is due to his or her death or disability shall be entitled to receive a pro rated Award based on the number of days he or she was employed by the Company during the applicable Performance Period, such Award to be paid to such Participant (or such Participant’s beneficiary, in the case of such Participant’s death) at the same time such Award would have been paid if such Participant remained employed. Solely to the extent provided in any employment agreement entered into between the Company or any of its subsidiaries and a Participant, which agreement has been approved or authorized by the Administrator, upon termination of the Participant’s employment without cause or as a constructive termination, after the attainment of the applicable Performance Target(s) such Participant shall be entitled to receive a pro rated Award based on the number of days he or she was employed by the Company during the applicable Performance Period. Such Award will be paid to such Participant (or such Participant’s beneficiary, in the case of such Participant’s death) at the same time such Award would have been paid if such Participant remained employed.

(i)Unfunded Status of Awards. The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive compensation. With respect to any payments not yet made to a Participant pursuant to an Award, nothing contained in the Plan or any Award gives any such Participant any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company.

(j)Governing Law. The Plan and all determinations made and actions taken pursuant hereto are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to the conflict of laws principles thereof.

(k)Effective Date. The Plan will take effect upon its adoption by the Board for the fiscal year performance period beginning January 1, 2008; provided, however, that prior to the payment of any amount pursuant to any Award, the Plan is subject to the requisite approval of the stockholders of the Company in order to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code. In the absence of such approval, the Plan (and any Awards made pursuant to the Plan prior to the date of such approval) are null and void.

(l)Beneficiary. A Participant may file with the Administrator a written designation of a beneficiary on such form as may be prescribed by the Administrator and may, from time to time, amend or revoke such designation. If no designated beneficiary survives the Participant and an Award is payable to the Participant’s beneficiary, the executor or administrator of the Participant’s estate is deemed to be the grantee’s beneficiary.

(m)Interpretation. The Plan is designed and intended to comply, to the extent applicable, with Section 162(m) of the Code, and all provisions hereof shall be construed in a manner to so comply. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Plan, the provisions of the Plan may at any time be bifurcated by the Administrator in any manner so that certain provisions of the Plan or any Award intended (or required in order) to satisfy the applicable requirements of Section 162(m) are only applicable to Covered Employees whose compensation is subject to Section 162(m).
