National CineMedia, Inc. Debt Disclosure

Debt Agreement—On January 24, 2025, NCM LLC entered into a Loan and Security Agreement with U.S. Bank National Association, as lender. The agreement provides for a $45.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility that matures on January 24, 2028. During the year ended January 1, 2026 NCM LLC has drawn $22.0 million from the facility and repaid $10.0 million of the facility resulting in an outstanding balance under the 2025 Credit Facility of $12.0 million as of January 1, 2026. Upon execution of the 2025 Credit Facility, NCM LLC recorded $0.9 million of debt issuance costs. As of January 1, 2026, NCM LLC's maximum availability under the $45.0 million 2025 Credit Facility was $32.4 million, net of letters of credit of $0.6 million.

Borrowings under the 2025 Credit Facility may be used for, among other things, working capital and other general corporate purposes of the Company and bear interest at a floating rate equal to term SOFR (subject to a floor of zero) plus an applicable margin of 2.00%, which is subject to increase by an additional 2.00% upon the occurrence of an event of default. A commitment fee of 0.25% is payable quarterly in arrears based on the average daily amount of the undrawn portion of the commitments under the 2025 Credit Facility for the preceding quarter. The 2025 Credit Facility has a $5.0 million sublimit for the issuance of letters of credit. Fees are payable on outstanding letters of credit at a per annum rate equal to 2.00%, plus certain customary fees payable in connection with the issuance, amendment, renewal and extension of letters of credit and the processing of drawings thereunder.

Certain of NCM LLC’s future subsidiaries (collectively, the “Guarantors”) are required to guarantee the repayment of NCM LLC’s obligations under the 2025 Credit Facility. The obligations of NCM LLC and any such Guarantors with respect to the 2025 Credit Facility are and will be secured by a pledge of substantially all assets of NCM LLC and each of the Guarantors, including, without limitation, accounts receivables, deposit accounts, intellectual property, investment property, inventory, equipment and equity interests in their respective subsidiaries.

The 2025 Credit Facility contains affirmative and negative covenants customary for financings of this type, with which NCM LLC was in compliance at January 1, 2026, including limitations on NCM LLC’s and its subsidiaries ability to incur additional debt, grant or permit additional liens, make investments and acquisitions, merge or consolidate with others, dispose of assets, pay dividends and distributions, make equity repurchases, pay subordinated indebtedness and enter into affiliate transactions. In addition, the 2025 Credit Facility contains financial covenants requiring NCM LLC to maintain a maximum leverage ratio of no greater than 2.25 to 1.00 and a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of no less than 1.50 to 1.00, each measured on a quarterly basis. The 2025 Credit Facility also includes events of default customary for facilities of this type and upon the occurrence of such events of default, subject to customary cure rights, all outstanding loans under the 2025 Credit Facility may be accelerated and/or the Company’s commitments terminated. The 2025 Credit Facility also contains representations, warranties, and events of defaults customary for this type of facility. As of January 1, 2026, NCM LLC’s fixed charge coverage ratio was 13.5 to 1.0 (versus the required minimum ratio of 1.50 to 1.00) and NCM LLC's maximum leverage ratio was 0.4 to 1.0 (versus the required ratio of 2.25 to 1.0).

Loan, Security and Guarantee Agreement—On August 7, 2023, NCM LLC entered into a Loan, Security and Guarantee Agreement (the “Revolving Credit Facility 2023”) with CIT Northbridge Credit LLC as agent. The Revolving Credit Facility 2023 was an asset backed line facility where the capacity depends upon NCM LLC’s trade accounts receivable balance, as adjusted for aged balances and other considerations. The maximum availability NCM LLC had access to under the Revolving Credit Facility 2023 was $55,000,000. The proceeds of the Revolving Credit Facility 2023 could have

been used for, inter alia, working capital and capital expenditures. The Revolving Credit Facility 2023 was to mature on August 7, 2026. The interest rate under the Revolving Credit Facility 2023 was a base rate of SOFR benchmark plus (i) 3.75% if less than 50% of revolving commitments are utilized or (ii) 4.50% if 50% or more of revolving commitments are utilized (utilizing the average revolver usage for the prior calendar month as a benchmark for this determination). The Revolving Credit Facility 2023 also contained a financial maintenance covenant requiring that the fixed charge coverage ratio ending on the last day of each fiscal month is at least 1.1 to 1.0 during a “Trigger Period.” A Trigger Period began upon (i) an event of default or (ii) if availability was less than the greater of (a) $5,000,000 and (b) 10% of aggregate revolving commitments. A Trigger Period ended only if (i) no event of default existed for the preceding thirty (30) consecutive days and (ii) availability was greater than both (a) $5,000,000 and (b) 10% of aggregate revolving commitments. Upon the effectiveness of the Revolving Credit Facility 2023, NCM LLC immediately drew $10.0 million from the facility, which represented the only amount outstanding under the Revolving Credit Facility 2023 at any time. The Revolving Credit Facility 2023 also contained customary representations, warranties, covenants, events of default, terms and conditions, including limitations on liens, incurrence of debt, mergers and significant asset dispositions.

In connection with entering into the 2025 Credit Facility, NCM LLC repaid the $10.0 million balance outstanding in full and terminated all commitments under its Revolving Credit Facility 2023, and in connection with this termination, paid a prepayment fee equal to 1% of the total commitment. This resulted in a loss on debt extinguishment of $1.8 million within the year ended January 1, 2026.

Pre-Chapter 11 Case Debt—The commencement of the Chapter 11 Case constituted an event of default and caused the automatic and immediate acceleration of all debt outstanding under or in respect of, NCM LLC’s Credit Agreements and senior notes. As of August 7, 2023, upon emergence from bankruptcy, all historical debt of NCM LLC was discharged and the historical credit agreements were terminated.

Future Maturities of Borrowings—The scheduled annual maturities on the 2025 Credit Facility as of January 1, 2026 are as follows (in millions):
