On September 26, 2025, Nathan “Tripp” Lane delivered notice to National CineMedia, Inc. (“NCM, Inc.” or “the Company”) of his resignation from the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) and all committees of the Board of which he is a member, effective immediately prior to the Board’s approval of a replacement nominee to be designated by Blantyre Capital Limited (“Blantyre Capital”) in accordance with the Director Designation Agreement (the “Designation Agreement”), dated August 7, 2023, between the Company, the Consenting Creditor Designation Committee (as defined in the Designation Agreement) and Blantyre Capital.

Mr. Lane’s resignation did not result from any disagreement with the Company. Mr. Lane was designated to the Board by Blantyre Capital pursuant to the Designation Agreement. Pursuant to the terms of the Designation Agreement, Blantyre Capital has the right to designate a replacement following Mr. Lane’s resignation. The Company expects to appoint Blantyre Capital’s designee, subject to the determination of the Board in good faith, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that such action would not constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties or applicable law.
