NATIONAL CINEMEDIA ALERT: Shareholder Rights Law Firm Johnson & Weaver, LLP Continues to Investigate National CineMedia, Inc.

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Shareholder rights law firm Johnson & Weaver, LLP continues its investigation into whether certain officers and directors of National CineMedia, Inc. NCMI violated state and/or federal laws in connection with certain statements they made concerning National CineMedia's attempted acquisition of its largest competitor, Screenvision LLC.

On November 3, 2014, the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Public Affairs announced that it had filed an antitrust enforcement action seeking to block the Company's acquisition of Screenvision. On March 16, 2015 National CineMedia announced they have called off their planned $375 million merger, citing mounting legal costs and distractions related to the Department of Justice's lawsuit. The termination of the Merger Agreement will be expensive. The total after tax cash cost for National CineMedia related to the proposed merger with Screenvision including the termination fee and all legal and other expenses is projected to be approximately $11 million.
