Mittleman Brothers, LLC Alerts Carmike Cinemas Shareholders that Proxy Advisory Firms ISS and Glass Lewis, Both Recommend Voting Against AMC Entertainment's Buyout Offer of $30 per share (6/21/16)

NEW YORK, June 21, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Mittleman Brothers, LLC, one of the largest shareholders of Carmike Cinemas Inc. (NASDAQ: CKEC), which currently controls approximately 2.33 million CKEC shares, 9.6% of the total shares outstanding, today announced that on Friday, June 17th, both of the major U.S. proxy advisory firms, Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. ("ISS"), and Glass Lewis & Co. ("Glass Lewis"), issued reports recommending that Carmike stockholders vote AGAINST AMC Entertainment's ("AMC") $30 per share cash take-over offer at Carmike's upcoming Special Meeting on June 30, 2016.

Chris Mittleman, Chief Investment Officer and Managing Partner of Mittleman Brothers, said, "We are deeply gratified that both ISS and Glass Lewis support our strong contention that Carmike's Board has agreed to sell the company for inadequate consideration and that shareholders should vote against this unfair merger proposal."

Mittleman Brothers encourages all Carmike Cinemas' shareholders to review our most recently filed presentation highlighting the gross deficiencies in both process and price reflected in Carmike's proposed sale to AMC. As we point out in the presentation http://www.mittlemanbrothers.com/ckecamc-opposition/, CKEC has out-performed its peer group over the past seven years under current management, in sales, EBITDA, attendance, and concessions growth, and yet merely valuing CKEC at the mean EV/EBITDA trading multiple of the peer group yields a stock price in excess of $40, without even considering a control premium, or the immense synergy value that AMC would solely retain in this unusually rare consolidation opportunity pairing the second and fourth largest movie theaters chains in the U.S.

Mittleman Brothers again urges all Carmike Cinemas shareholders to vote "AGAINST" this terribly unfair merger proposal before Carmike's Special Meeting on June 30, 2016.
