The Bonds may not be a suitable investment for all investors. In particular, each potential investor may wish to
consider, either on its own or with the help of its financial and other professional advisers, whether it:
(i)
has sufficient knowledge and experience to make a meaningful evaluation of the Bonds, the merits and
risks of investing in the Bonds and the information contained or incorporated by reference in this
Information Memorandum or any applicable supplement;
(ii)
has access to, and knowledge of, appropriate analytical tools to evaluate, in the context of its particular
financial situation, an investment in the Bonds and the impact the Bonds will have on its overall
investment portfolio;
(iii) has sufficient financial resources and liquidity to bear all of the risks of an investment in the Bonds,
including Bonds where the currency for principal or interest payments is different from the potential
investor's currency;
(iv)
understands thoroughly the terms of the Bonds and is familiar with the behaviour of any relevant
financial markets; and
(v)
is able to evaluate possible scenarios for economic, interest rate and other factors that may affect its
investment and its ability to bear the applicable risks.
Legal investment considerations may restrict certain investments. The investment activities of certain investors
are subject to legal investment laws and regulations, or review or regulation by certain authorities. Each
potential investor should consult its legal advisers to determine whether and to what extent (1) Bonds are legal
investments for it, (2) Bonds can be used as collateral for various types of borrowing and (3) other restrictions
apply to its purchase or pledge of any Bonds. Financial institutions should consult their legal advisors or the
appropriate regulators to determine the appropriate treatment of Bonds under any applicable risk-based capital
or similar rules.
MiFID II product governance / Retail investors, professional investors and eligible counterparties target
market Solely for the purposes of each manufacturer's product approval process, the target market assessment

counterparties, professional clients and retail clients each as defined in the Markets in Financial Instruments
Directive 2014/65/EU (as amended, "MiFID II"), (ii) all channels for distribution of the Bonds to eligible
counterparties and professional clients are appropriate and (iii) the following channels for distribution of the
Bonds to retail clients are appropriate: investment advice, portfolio management and non-advised sales, subject
to the distributor's suitability and appropriateness obligations under MiFID II, as applicable. Any person
subsequently offering, selling or recommending the Bonds (a "distributor") should take into consideration the
manufacturer's target market assessment; however, a distributor subject to MiFID II is responsible for
undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Bonds (by either adopting or refining the
manufacturer`s target market assessment) and determining appropriate distribution channels, subject to the
distributor's suitability and appropriateness obligations under MiFID II, as applicable.

PART I RISK FACTORS
The Issuer believes that the risks described below may affect the Issuer's ability to fulfil its respective
obligations under the Bonds. All of these factors are contingencies which may or may not occur and the Issuer
is not in a position to express a view on the likelihood of any such contingency occurring.
In addition, factors which are material for purposes of assessing the market risks associated with the Bonds are
described below.
The Issuer believes that the factors described below represent the principal risks inherent in investing in the
Bonds, but the inability of the Issuer to pay interest, principal or other amounts on or in connection with the
Bonds may occur for other reasons which may not be considered significant risks by the Issuer based on
information currently available to it or which it may not currently be able to anticipate. The sequence in which
the risk factors are listed is not an indication of their likelihood to occur or of the extent of their commercial
consequences. Prospective investors should also read the detailed information set out elsewhere in this
Information Memorandum or incorporated by reference in this Information Memorandum and reach their own
views prior to making any investment decision and consult with their own professional advisors if they consider
it necessary.
Terms defined in the Conditions shall have the same meaning where used below.
RISK FACTORS IN RELATION TO THE ISSUER
Availability and quality of supplied content
Taking into account that the Kinepolis Group does not produce any content itself (such as movies), it is
dependent on the availability, diversity and quality of movies, as well as the possibility of being able to rent this
content from distributors. The Kinepolis Group endeavours to protect itself wherever possible by maintaining
good long-term relations with the major distributors or producers, by pursuing a content diversification policy
to some extent and by playing a role as distributor in Belgium. The investments in tax shelter projects in
Belgium, i.e., a tax regime encouraging the production of and investments in audio-visual and cinematographic
works should also be viewed in the light of this.
Seasonal effects
The operating revenues of the Kinepolis Group can vary from period to period as the producers and distributors
decide when their movies are released completely independently of the cinema operators and because certain
periods, such as holidays, can traditionally have an impact on visitor numbers. The weather can also play an
important role in the frequency of cinema visits. The Kinepolis Group largely accepts this risk, considering that
the costs of a financial hedging policy would exceed the revenue from it, but endeavours to mitigate the
consequences, among other things by varying its cost structure to a maximum degree.
Competition
The Kinepolis Group's position as a cinema operator is subject to competition, just like every other product or
service for which substitutions exist. The Kinepolis Group's position is impacted by increasing competition
from the other leisure activities, such as concerts and sporting events, that can influence the behaviour of
Kinepolis Group's customers. This competition also comes from the cinemas of other operators both existing
and prospective in the markets where the Kinepolis Group is active and from the increasing distribution and
availability of films and series through online content media, video-on-demand, pay-per-view and other
services. This development can also be influenced by the shortening of the period between the first screening
of a movie in the cinema and its availability through other channels, that is ordinarily observed by the
distributors, as well as the constant technical improvement in the quality of these alternative ways of watching
7

movies. In addition to these legal alternatives, the cinema industry also has to deal with illegal downloads. The
Kinepolis Group is working actively together with distributors to agree measures to counter any increasing
illegal sharing of material online.
The Kinepolis Group strives to strengthen its competitive position as a cinema operator by implementing its
strategic vision, which is focused on being able to provide customers with a premium service and film
experience.
Economic situation
Changes to the general, global or regional economic situation or the economic situation in areas where the
Kinepolis Group is active and that can impact consumer behaviour and the production of new movies can have
a negative impact on the operating profits of the Kinepolis Group. The Kinepolis Group endeavours to arm
itself against this threat by being rigorously efficient and closely monitoring and controlling costs and margins.
Changing economic conditions can also increase competitive risks.
Risks arising from acquisitions and growth opportunities
In the event of further growth, competition authorities can impose additional conditions and restrictions with
regard to the growth of the Kinepolis Group (see also `Political, regulatory and competition risks' below). In
addition, certain inherent risks are also associated with growth opportunities, either through acquisition or new-
build projects, that can have a negative impact on the targets of Kinepolis Group. The Kinepolis Group will
thoroughly examine growth opportunities in advance to ensure these risks are properly assessed and, where
necessary, controlled. The proceeds of the Bonds may also be used by the Issuer, amongst others, to finance
acquisitions (see also Part IX (Use of Proceeds) of the Information Memorandum).
Political, regulatory and competition risks
The Kinepolis Group strives to operate within the legal framework at all times. However, additional or amended
legislation, including tax laws, could restrict the Kinepolis Group's growth and/or operations or result in
additional investments or costs. Where possible, the Kinepolis Group actively manages these risks by notifying
the relevant political, administrative or legal bodies of its positions and defending them in an appropriate way.
The Belgian Competition Authority has imposed a number of conditions and restrictions on the Kinepolis
Group, such as the requirement of the prior approval of the Belgian Competition Council for openings of new
cinema complexes with more than seven screens or with more than 1,125 seats. An additional condition
stipulates that new cinema complexes may not be located within a 10 km radius of another Kinepolis complex,
whether existing or to be build (see also `Further developments with regard to easing the behavioural conditions
imposed on the Kinepolis Group' in Part V (Description of the Issuer) of the Information Memorandum).
Technological risks
Cinema has become a highly computerised and automated sector, in which the correct technological choices
and optimal functioning of projection systems, sales systems and other ICT systems are critical in order to be
able to offer optimal service to the customer. The Kinepolis Group tries to manage these risks by closely
following the latest technological developments, regularly analysing system architecture and, where necessary,
optimising and implementing best ICT practices.
Employee risks
As a service company, the Kinepolis Group largely depends on its employees to provide high-quality service.
Hiring and retaining the right managers and employees with the requisite knowledge and experience in all parts
of the Kinepolis Group is therefore a constant challenge. The Kinepolis Group accepts this challenge by offering
attractive terms of employment, good knowledge management and a pleasant working atmosphere. The
8

Kinepolis Group measures employee satisfaction on the basis of employee surveys and improves its policies
where necessary. Furthermore, the Kinepolis Group also attaches great importance to the health of its employees
and endeavours to create a risk-free work environment that does no harm to anyone. To this end, and in addition
to compliance with the legal obligations regarding safety and prevention, the Kinepolis Group has taken a
number of further measures, such as the organisation of preventive examinations by the company doctor, the
organisation of evacuation exercises, prevention training, etc.
Customer risks
Health and safety risks for its customers may have an adverse impact on the Kinepolis Group. If any of such
risks materialises, this can lead to complaints or disputes. Poor management of the aforementioned risks may
lead to a decline in customer satisfaction, damage to its reputation and, ultimately, to a fall in visitor numbers.
Furthermore, the likelihood of sanctions and/or administrative fines would also increase considerably.
Risks arising from exceptional events
Events of an exceptional nature, including but not limited to extreme weather, political unrest and terrorist
attacks in a country where the Kinepolis Group is active and that result in material damage to one of its
multiplexes, a fall in the number of customers or a disruption in the delivery of products can have a negative
impact on the activities of the Kinepolis Group. The Kinepolis Group strives to minimise the potential impact
of such risks through a combination of preventive (such as construction decisions, evacuation planning) and
detection measures (such as fire detection systems), and by taking out proper insurance.
Environmental liability and property risks
The property that the Kinepolis Group owns and leases is subject to regulations with regard to environmental
liability and potential property risks. In addition to the above-mentioned measures to control political and
regulatory risks, the Kinepolis Group will take appropriate measures to prevent environmental damage and limit
property risks where necessary.
Use of financial instruments
The Kinepolis Group is exposed to a number of financial risks in its daily operations, such as interest risk,
currency risk, credit risk and liquidity risk.
Derivative financial products concluded with third parties can be used to manage these financial risks. The use
of derivative financial products is subject to strict internal controls and regulations. It is the policy of the
Kinepolis Group not to undertake any trading positions in derivative financial instruments.
The Kinepolis Group manages its debts by combining short-, medium- and long term borrowings. The mix of
debts with fixed and floating interest rates is established at the Kinepolis Group level. At the end of December
2018, the Kinepolis Group's net financial debt was 276,818,000. Interest rate swaps were entered into for
41,600,000 in order to hedge the interest risk on a fixed-term loan that was originally for the same amount.
These interest rate swaps have the same amortisation profile that is applicable to the related fixed-term loan.
The notes to the consolidated financial statements provide a detailed description of how the Kinepolis Group
manages the aforementioned risks.
As the Issuer develops its activities mainly through Subsidiaries, the repayment towards the Bondholders is
structurally subordinated to any other debt at the level of the Subsidiaries of the Issuer
The most important assets of the Issuer are direct and indirect interests in Subsidiaries. The Issuer is mainly
dependent on the revenues, cash flows, dividends and other contributions of its Subsidiaries to meet its
obligations in respect of its outstanding debts. The ability of the Subsidiaries to make dividends and other
