Item 3.02

Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

On September 2, 2010, National CineMedia, Inc. (the “Company”) received notice from the underwriters exercising their option to purchase 255,471 additional shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Common Stock”) to cover over-allotments at the offering price of $16.00 per share related to the previously announced registered underwritten public offering by AMC Entertainment Inc. and its affiliates (“AMC”) and Regal Entertainment Group and its affiliates (“Regal”) (collectively the “Selling Stockholders”).

The Company’s Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation and the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Operating Agreement of National CineMedia, LLC (“NCM LLC”) provide a redemption right to the NCM LLC members to exchange common membership units of NCM LLC for shares of Common Stock on a one-for-one basis or, at the Company’s option, a cash payment equal to the market price of one share of the Company’s Common Stock.

The Company received a Notice of Redemption from the Selling Stockholders for an aggregate of 255,471 shares of Common Stock. The Company’s board of directors had previously authorized the exchange of units for shares of Common Stock in the event of exercise of the over-allotment option. Immediately prior to the closing of the over-allotment option, the Selling Stockholders would surrender common membership units to NCM LLC for cancellation and the Company would contribute shares of its Common Stock to NCM LLC in exchange for an amount of newly issued common units equal to the number of units surrendered by the Selling Stockholders. NCM LLC would distribute the shares of the Company’s Common Stock to each of the Selling Stockholders to complete the redemption immediately prior to the closing of the over-allotment option scheduled for September 8, 2010. Giving effect to the offering and over-allotment exercise, the ownership of NCM, Inc. in NCM LLC will increase to 48.2%.
