(“MoviePass Entertainment”), a newly formed wholly-owned subsidiary of HMNY that would take ownership of the shares of MoviePass Inc. and other film related assets held by HMNY, has confidentially submitted a draft registration statement on Form S-1 to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to the proposed distribution by HMNY of a minority of the shares of MoviePass Entertainment common stock held by HMNY as a dividend to stockholders of HMNY as of a record date that is yet to be determined. HMNY plans to retain control of MoviePass Entertainment upon any such distribution.
