NOTE 20—SUBSEQUENT EVENTS On May 20, 2012, Parent and Dalian Wanda Group Co., Ltd. ("Wanda"), a Chinese private conglomerate, announced that they have signed an agreement pursuant to which Wanda will acquire all of the outstanding capital stock of Parent. Upon the closing, Parent and the Company will become wholly owned subsidiaries of Wanda. The transaction, which is subject to government approval in China and the United States, is valued at approximately $2.6 billion. The consummation of the transaction is subject to customary closing conditions and the receipt of regulatory approvals. The proposed acquisition will constitute a change of control under the Company's Senior Secured Credit Facility and under the indentures governing the Company's outstanding Notes due 2014, Notes due 2019, and Notes due 2020. The Company will be required to either seek an amendment to the Senior Secured Credit Facility to permit the change of control or to repay all amounts outstanding thereunder. In addition, upon completion of the proposed acquisition, the Company will be required to make a "change of control offer" in respect of the Notes due 2014, Notes due 2019, and Notes due 2020 or seek a waiver of the requirement. Wanda has provided financing commitments to fully finance the transaction in the event any outstanding indebtedness is repaid pursuant to the change in control offer.
