Response to Office of Fair Trading Announcement

On 6 December 2012 Cineworld announced that it had acquired City Screen Group, which trades as Picturehouse (the "Acquisition").

The Office of Fair Trading has today announced that it has referred the Acquisition to the Competition Commission because of concerns that it may reduce local competition in certain areas.

Cineworld will be assisting the Competition Commission with its investigation. A further announcement will be made in due course.
