Item 8.01               Other Events.

 

On December 9, 2010, Regal Entertainment Group (the “Company”) learned that the District Attorney for Kings County, New York, filed a criminal complaint against the Company and the manager of the Company’s theater located at 3907 Shore Parkway, Brooklyn, New York (the “Sheepshead Bay Theater”).  The complaint alleges, among other things, that there were multiple instances where sewage from the Sheepshead Bay Theater was released into the waters of the State of New York without a valid permit.

 

The actual costs that will be incurred in connection with this action cannot be quantified at this time and will depend on many unknown factors.

 

While the Company intends to vigorously defend these matters, the Company cannot predict the outcome; however, it is likely that settlement would include a monetary penalty, although an amount cannot be predicted.  These matters are subject to inherent uncertainties and management’s view of these matters may change in the future.
