On February 28, 2017, we announced our financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2016.

This Current Report Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A is being filed to update and revise certain information set forth in the original Form 8-K.
On March 8, 2017, we reached an agreement to settle litigation that was pending as of December 31, 2016, giving rise to a recognized subsequent event resulting in an increase of $7,000,000 in other general and administrative expenses for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2016. As a result, net earnings were reduced by $4,270,000 and diluted earnings per share were reduced by $0.04 for both the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2016. U.S. markets and consolidated adjusted EBITDA were each reduced by $7,000,000 for the same periods. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and the reconciliation of this number is provided in the attached press release.
On March 10, 2017, we issued a press release announcing that we had posted an updated and revised press release and an updated and revised CFO commentary to our website www.investor.amctheatres.com which incorporate the above referenced changes to our financial results for the fourth quarter and full year ended December 31, 2016.
