(1) Effective January 2, 2009, Regal retrospectively adopted certain provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification Subtopic 470-20, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (“ASC Subtopic 470-20”). Our 6¼% Convertible Senior Notes and the 3¾% Convertible Senior Notes are within the scope of ASC Subtopic 470-20; therefore, we were required to retrospectively record the debt portions of the 6¼% Convertible Senior Notes and the 3¾% Convertible Senior Notes at their fair values as of the respective dates of issuance and amortize the related debt discount into interest expense over the life of each debt instrument during the periods in which the debt instruments are outstanding.
Reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures are included in the earnings release.
Regal is also furnishing to the Commission as Exhibit 99.2 to this current report on Form 8-K certain other financial information for its last four completed fiscal quarters, including reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures of the non-GAAP financial measures included therein.
Item 8.01 Other Events.
On February 16, 2010, Regal’s board of directors declared a cash dividend in the amount of $0.18 per share of Class A and Class B common stock, payable on March 16, 2010 to the Class A and Class B common stockholders of record on March 4, 2010.
