Item 8.01   Other Events.

 

On May 28, 2015, Regal Entertainment Group (the “Company”) received a civil investigative demand (the “CID”) from the United States Department of Justice, Antitrust Division, as part of an investigation into potentially anticompetitive conduct under Sections 1 and 2 of the Sherman Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1 and § 2.  On June 1, 2015, the Company also received an investigative demand from the Antitrust Section of the Office of Attorney General of the State of Ohio regarding an inquiry under Ohio’s antitrust laws.  The CID and the Ohio investigative demand require the Company to produce documents and answer interrogatories.  The Company intends to cooperate with these investigations and any other related Federal or state investigations to the extent any are undertaken.  While the Company does not believe that the DOJ or state investigations will produce evidence that the Company has engaged in any anticompetitive conduct in violation of Federal or state antitrust or competition laws, the Company can provide no assurances as to the scope, timing or outcome of the DOJ’s or any other state or Federal governmental reviews of the Company’s conduct.
