Retail Investors Favorite Cinema Chain current Board of Directors are tone deaf to retail shareholders demands that action be taken regarding the market manipulation of its stock.

LEAWOOD, Kan. Retail Investors Favorite Cinema Chain, the largest theatrical exhibitor in the United States and the world, will hold its 2023 Annual Shareholder Meeting on November 8, 2023 as its stock collapsed from a high of $52.80 to an all-time low of $10.72 in under three weeks in its 103 years of history after a controversial “illegitimate” corporate reorganization opposed by retail shareholders that resulted in 10-for-1 reverse stock split in an unprecedented breach of fiduciary duties settlement approved by the Delaware Chancellery Court.

“Retail Investors Favorite Cinema Chain with its investment banker Derek Van Zandt of Citigroup and hedge fund manager Himanshu Gulati of Antara Capital engineered a financial plan, code named Project Popcorn, to circumvent retail shareholders’ opposition to further share dilution after heroically saving Retail Investors Favorite Cinema Chain from certain bankruptcy in 2021 as a horde of barbaric short selling bears breached its gate” stated retail activist shareholder Jason Iannantuoni who announced his campaign to run for nomination onto Retail Investors Favorite Cinema Chain Board of Directors adding that “90% of our shares were annexed and nearly 90% of its value was lost. For over seven months, retail shareholders opposing the corporate reorganization warned of that exact scenario. Retail Investors Favorite Cinema Chain lost over $5 billion dollars in market capitalization and remains on the NYSE’s threshold securities list after 50 days exceeding the maximum of 13 days even as over 100 million newly converted Retail Investors Favorite Cinema Chain shares are introduced to the float.”

Iannantuoni, fighting for retail representation, launched a nomination petition that garnered over 750 signatures of Retail Investors shareholders under the #WeMakeCinamaBetter campaign in reference to the over 3.8 million passionate retail shareholders that support the company. He will formally present his petition in public to the Cinema chain Corporate Secretary on September 9, 2023 and urges supporters to sign the petition. He stated that “3.8 million retail shareholders control over 80% of the company’s outstanding float, therefore, it is only logical that retail be represented in the board” adding that the Cinema chain Investor Relations has been radio silent for the past week in acknowledging his desire to run and has retained legal counsel in the event civil litigation is necessary to get his name on the ballot.

“Retail Investors Favorite Cinema Chain Board of Directors is “illegally” occupied by tone deaf directors that do not have the retail shareholder’s interest at heart” according to Iannantuoni as retail shareholders have pleaded with management for years to publicly address market manipulation of its stock. “It is high time for a historic revolution in the Boardrooms of Corporate America as Main Street clashes with Wall Street for the soul of our nation.” Iannantuoni added that he will hold market manipulators accountable if elected and order a genuine share count as retail have demanded for years adding that “management has denied the existence of illegal naked short selling but with cost-to-borrow over 1000%, historic levels of fail-to-delivers (FTD), being on the threshold list multiple times this year, it cannot be a coincidence. Our CEO lied to us. He said the FTDs would disappear once reorganization occurred, it did not, he said we would lose no value, we did.”

CEO Adam Aron stated that “Some misunderstand the 1-for-10 reverse stock split, approved by 87% of March 14 votes, saying we are “stealing 90%” of "your" shares. "You" forget that the share price rises 10-fold at that time. EXACTLY the same as trading ten $1 bills for one $10 bill. Either way, "you" have $10” to which Iannantuoni responded that “such paternalistic mentality has no place on our board, we as shareholders understand the risk of investing and know what is best for us. In the end, what we traded was ten $1 bills for one $1 bill.”

According to a recent Retail Investors Favorite Cinema Chain SEC Form 8K filing, shareholders whose shares are settled in their name by September 25, 2023 retain the right to vote. Iannantuoni reminds shareholders that may not be aware their shares are on loan to verify with their broker-dealer to ensure their shares are recalled on time which can take up to 10 business days.

Carlos Yulo begins hunt for Asian Games gold

MANILA, Philippines — Two-time Olympic champion Carlos Yulo begins his gold medal hunt at the 20th Asian Games at the Nagoya City General Gymnasium Rainbow Hall in Japan on Monday. Raring to capture the only title he hasn't won in his storied career, Yulo competes in the men's individual all-around that doubles as apparatus qualification. Subdivision 1 is scheduled for 9 a.m. (Manila time) while subdivision 2 is set for 1:30 p.m. As an 18-year-old in the 2018 edition of the Asiad in Indonesia, Yulo could not make the podium as he finished fourth on vault and seventh on floor after leading his specialty in the qualification round. Yulo skipped the 2023 Asian Games in Hangzhou, China as it coincided with the World Championships which were qualifiers for the Paris Olympics. “I want to make up for this. I want to test my ability (now) as well," said Yulo, who holds World Championships, World Cup, Asian Championships and Southeast Asian Games titles in addition to his Olympic golds in vault and floor exercise. Yulo's bid for an Asian Games gold medal won't be easy, though. The 26-year-old takes on a stacked field that includes Olympic champions Oka Shinnosuke and Daiki Hashimoto of Japan and China’s Zhang Boheng. Oka took over the Olympic all-around gold medal from 2021 Tokyo Games gold medalist Hashimoto in Paris last year. Meanwhile, Zhang is the reigning all-around champion of the Asian Games as well as the Asian Championships last June. Yulo's campaign in the floor exercise could face another showdown with Japan’s Shoma Tsukiyama. Yulo and Tsukiyama placed first and second, respectively, at the Asian Championships last June, with Yulo’s younger brother Eldrew taking bronze. South Korea’s Kim Jaeho and Iran’s Mahdi Olfati, who bagged the vault silver and bronze, respectively, at the Asian Championships, are expected to give Yulo a run for his money. The men's apparatus finals are set for September 24 and 25.

Que, 2 others return as ICTSI Negros blasts off

MANILA, Philippines – Angelo Que returns to the Philippine Golf Tour spotlight with his sights set on another championship, while Aidric Chan and multi-titled Clyde Mondilla also rejoin the hunt as a formidable field converges for the ICTSI Negros Occidental Classic beginning Monday (Sept. 21) at the Negros Occidental Golf and Country Club in Negros Occidental. Fresh from a 1-2 finish at Summit Point last week, Que and Chan had been uncertain about their participation in the sixth leg of the PGT as they were also campaigning in Taiwan. But after both failed to make the weekend cut, the two are expected to make the trip home in time for the opening round of the P2.5-million championship. Mondilla, meanwhile, skipped the Summit Point stop to honor a previous commitment but has confirmed his return this week, further deepening an already talent-packed cast for the 10-leg circuit organized by Pilipinas Golf Tournaments, Inc. With three of the tour’s big guns back in the fold, defending champion Rupert Zaragosa’s bid for a third straight championship here faces another stern test at the tight and demanding Marapara layout. Zaragosa headlines a field that also includes five-time Order of Merit winner Tony Lascuña, Jhonnel Ababa, Reymon Jaraula, Zanieboy Gilaon, Guido van der Valk, Fidel Concepcion and Jeffren Lumbo – a group whose contrasting styles and experience could make for another intriguing four-day battle. The Marapara course is expected to put a premium on precision and course management, with its tight confines leaving little room for wayward shots. And with partly cloudy conditions, scattered rainshowers and thunderstorms forecast throughout the tournament week, the elements could further complicate the challenge. Wind, in particular, could become a significant factor, forcing the players to constantly adjust their shot selection and strategy as they negotiate the layout over four rounds. All that sets the stage for another wide-open title fight, with several players eager to make their move in the second half of the season. Chan remains one of the biggest names to watch as he continues his search for his breakthrough PGT victory. The young shotmaker, who already won an Asian Development Tour leg, will again be tested against a deep field that includes Russell Bautista, Dino Villanueva, Elee Bisera, Nilo Salahog and Arnold Villacencio, along with foreign contenders Collin Wheeler, Ha Taewon, Kim Tae Soo, Lee Song and Jiseung Cheon. Fil-Am Ivan Yabut also hopes to turn around a string of disappointing results and finally make a serious run at the championship after struggling to impose his game on the country’s demanding layouts. Former leg winners Jay Bayron, Mars Pucay, Gerald Rosales, Jerson Balasabas, Ira Alido and Michael Bibat are likewise looking to rediscover the form that once made them regular title threats on the circuit. The younger generation will also be out to make its presence felt, led by Gab Manotoc, Kristoffer Arevalo, Josh Jorge, Jonas Magcalayo and Leandro Bagtas. All five have shown flashes of potential and will be eager to get into contention early and sustain the pressure as the week progresses. But much of the attention will inevitably center on Que. At 47, the veteran remains as hungry as ever, and his recent results suggest that his competitive fire has hardly dimmed. A three-time Asian Tour winner, Que captured the Caliraya Springs leg in dramatic fashion, edging Lascuña by one stroke before following it up with another impressive victory at Summit Point, where he beat Chan by two. Those triumphs have placed Que firmly in the spotlight as he goes after a third victory of the season – and another strong push toward retaining the Order of Merit crown. More than anything, however, Que’s recent run has underscored the depth of his experience and his ability to adapt, qualities that could prove invaluable on a Marapara course where patience and precision are likely to be just as important as power. For Zaragosa, the challenge is to keep his winning streak alive against a field that has become considerably stronger with the return of Que, Chan and Mondilla. For the rest, it is an opportunity to seize the momentum as the PGT enters the second half of its 10-leg campaign. And with the wind expected to swirl, rain potentially altering conditions and a loaded field ready to pounce, the Negros Occidental Classic could once again come down to who can best keep his game – and nerves – under control when the pressure mounts.

IOC president impressed by 'beautiful' Asian Games wooden huts

NAGOYA, Japan — IOC president Kirsty Coventry called the shipping container-style huts for Asian Games athletes "beautiful" on Sunday -- but conceded they were "a little tighter" than similar accommodation at the Milan-Cortina Winter Olympics. Asia's biggest sporting spectacle, which opened on Saturday in the Japanese city of Nagoya, has split with past Games by having no traditional athletes' village. To save costs, the more than 17,000 Asian Games participants will stay in temporary huts, hotels and a cruise ship. Some countries have criticised the wooden cabins as too small, with beds that are too short. But after touring the lodgings, International Olympic Committee president Coventry said she could not understand the negativity. "We had similar cabins in Milan-Cortina (Winter Games this year) and the athletes were very happy. And the cabins here are really nice," said the Zimbabwean former Olympic champion swimmer. "They're a little tighter. So, you know, if you want something negative, it's a little smaller. "But I don't think it's a negative thing. I love the village." About 2,000 participants are staying in the lodgings by the water in Nagoya. Coventry said: "The cabins are quiet, they're very cool. The air conditioning is working well. "The flooring and the walls are beautiful. It's better than some of the villages I've stayed in. "So I think to be very fair to Japan and to the organising committee, I was really impressed. "I had only been reading everything that had been said. And I was expecting something completely different to when I walked in." Asked by AFP if she would happily see the temporary cabins and also a cruise ship serve as accommodation at the Olympics, she said she had not been to the vessel. But she pointed to the accommodation at Milan-Cortina, and said those "very closely" resembled the ones in Nagoya. "It's not a new concept," she added. "And it is a concept that I think, for me, when we talk about an athlete experience, being an athlete... as soon as I go in, I'm not necessarily concerned about the look."
