SECOND AMENDMENT
TO THE
READING INTERNATIONAL, INC.
2020 STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN
This Second Amendment (“Amendment”) to the Reading International, Inc. 2020 Stock Incentive Plan (as amended from time to time, the “2020 Stock Plan”), is made and adopted by Reading International, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”).
WHEREAS, the Company adopted the 2020 Stock Plan on November 4, 2020, as amended by that certain First Amendment to the Reading International, Inc. 2020 Stock Incentive Plan adopted by the Company on December 4, 2023;
WHEREAS, Section 12(a) of the 2020 Stock Plan provides that the Company’s board of directors (the “Board”) may amend the 2020 Stock Plan from time to time, provided that no amendment shall be effective unless approved by the stockholders of the Company to the extent stockholder approval is necessary to satisfy the requirements of Section 422 of the Code, Rule 16b-3 or any securities exchange listing requirements; and
WHEREAS, the Board desires to amend the 2020 Stock Plan to increase the number of shares of Class A Stock reserved for issuance under the 2020 Stock Plan by 3,500,000 shares of Class A Stock from 2,221,807 shares to 5,721,807 shares, subject to approval by the Class B stockholders of the Company.
NOW THEREFORE, the 2020 Stock Plan is hereby amended as follows:
1.Section 4(a) of the 2020 Stock Plan is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
“(a)Share Reserve. Subject to the provisions of subsection 11(a) relating to adjustments upon changes in Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to, or that may be subject to, Stock Awards shall not exceed in the aggregate (x) 5,721,807 shares of Class A Stock plus any shares of Class A Stock subject to Prior Plan Awards which, on or after the Board Approval Date, become available for Awards pursuant to subsection 4(b) and (y) 200,000 shares of Class B Stock. Subject to the provisions of subsection 11(a) relating to adjustments upon changes in Common Stock, if all Prior Plan Awards were forfeited, the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant to, or that may be subject to, Stock Awards, shall not exceed 6,556,053 shares of Class A Stock and 200,000 shares of Class B Stock. Subject to subsection 4(b), the number of shares available for issuance under the Plan shall be reduced by (i) one share for each share of Common Stock issued pursuant to a Stock Award granted under Section 6 or Section 7 and (ii) one share for each Common Stock equivalent subject to a stock appreciation right granted under subsection 7(c). Each Stock Award shall be denominated in either Class A Stock or Class B Stock as the Board shall determine at the time of grant. For the avoidance of doubt, the number of shares of Class B Stock that may be issued under this Plan shall not exceed in the aggregate more than five percent (5%) of the shares of Class B Stock outstanding as of the Board Approval Date, unless such greater number of shares of Class B Stock is approved for issuance pursuant to Stock Awards by the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Class B Stock. Subject to the provisions of subsection 11(a) relating to adjustments upon change in Common Stock, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued upon the exercise of Incentive Stock Options is 6,556,053 shares of Class A Stock and 200,000 shares of Class B Stock.”
2.This Amendment shall be effective as of December 5, 2024 (the “Effective Date”).
3.Except as amended herein, all other provisions of the 2020 Stock Plan remain unchanged and in full force and effect. In the event of any inconsistency between the provisions of the 2020 Stock Plan and this Amendment, the terms of this Amendment shall control.

DISCLAIMERS Our comments today may contain forward-looking statements and management may make additional forward-looking statements in response to your questions. Such written and oral disclosures are made pursuant to the Safe Harbor provision of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Although we believe our expectations expressed in such forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot assure you that they will be realized. Investors are cautioned that such forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from the anticipated results, and therefore we refer you to a more detailed discussion of the risks and uncertainties in our Company’s filings with the Securities & Exchange Commission. This presentation is intended to summarize the projects on which we are working and our plan for moving our Company forward. The projects referred to are in their early stages and will be subject to various Governmental and Board approvals. Accordingly, no assurances can be given that the plans discussed herein will be achieved. We are a diversified international company and, for risk management and other business reasons, operate and hold our assets through and in various subsidiary entities. Accordingly, when using terms such as “we,” “our” or “us,” we are using such terms to include our Company on a consolidated basis and not to negate, undercut or adversely impact the legal separateness of such subsidiaries.
FINANCIAL RECONCILIATIONS We use EBITDA in the evaluation of our Company’s performance since we believe that EBITDA provides a useful measure of financial performance and value. We believe this principally for the following reasons: We believe that EBITDA is an accepted industry-wide comparative measure of financial performance. It is, in our experience, a measure commonly adopted by analysts and financial commentators who report upon the cinema exhibition and real estate industries, and it is also a measure used by financial institutions in underwriting the creditworthiness of companies in these industries. Accordingly, our management monitors this calculation as a method of judging our performance against our peers, market expectations and our creditworthiness. It is widely accepted that analysts, financial commentators and persons active in the cinema exhibition and real estate industries typically value enterprises engaged in these businesses at various multiples of EBITDA. Accordingly, we find EBITDA valuable as an indicator of the underlying value of our businesses. We expect that investors may use EBITDA to judge our ability to generate cash, as a basis of comparison to other companies engaged in the cinema exhibition and real estate businesses and as a basis to value our company against such other companies. EBITDA is not a measurement of financial performance under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America and it should not be considered in isolation or construed as a substitute for net income (loss) or other operations data or cash flow data prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America for purposes of analyzing our profitability. The exclusion of various components, such as interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization, limits the usefulness of these measures when assessing our financial performance, as not all funds depicted by EBITDA are available for management’s discretionary use. For example, a substantial portion of such funds may be subject to contractual restrictions and functional requirements to service debt, to fund necessary capital expenditures and to meet other commitments from time to time. EBITDA also fails to take into account the cost of interest and taxes. Interest is clearly a real cost that for us is paid periodically as accrued. Taxes may or may not be a current cash item but are nevertheless real costs that, in most situations, must eventually be paid. A company that realizes taxable earnings in high tax jurisdictions may, ultimately, be less valuable than a company that realizes the same amount of taxable earnings in a low tax jurisdiction. EBITDA fails to take into account the cost of depreciation and amortization and the fact that assets will eventually wear out and have to be replaced. Adjusted EBITDA. Using the principles we consistently apply to determine our EBITDA, we further adjust EBITDA for certain items we believe to be external to our core business and not reflective of our costs of doing business or results of operation. Such items may include (i) legal expenses relating to extraordinary litigation and (ii) any other items that can be considered non-recurring in accordance with the two-year SEC requirement for determining an item is non-recurring, infrequent or unusual in nature.

NEW YORK CITY - CINEMAS 123 COMPANY OWNS Land & Buildings 7,900 SF gross land area With inclusionary rights, we can build up to a maximum of approx. 96,000 RSF above grade.

READING VIADUCT & ANCILLARY PROPERTIES PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA Over 350,000 SF of land and bridgeworks in the City of Philadelphia. In light of NYC's High Line and London's Camden Highline, potential development benefits are clear. Reading Viaduct, though shorter than NYC’s High Line, is substantially wider. Its Southern terminus connects to Center City, a jump shot from the proposed new home of the 76ers, and its northern end runs through Spring Garden – home to many new residential units. The City of Philadelphia awarded approx. $160 million U.S. DOT grant for Chinatown Stitch Project, which will cap over portion of Vine Street Expressway at the gateway of the Reading Viaduct. This uninterrupted corridor connecting Spring Garden to Center City Philadelphia has significant potential value to the City, its residents and the Company. These unmortgaged properties have been a part of our Company for over 100 years. The property is carried for nominal value on our balance sheet, which is significantly under expected sale value. City of Philadelphia and Center City District have indicated a desire to purchase. THE STITCH

CREATIVE & EVOLVING THE CURRENT STATE OF MOVIE THEATERS Excerpts from Statement by Michael O'Leary President & CEO of National Assoc. of Theater Owners (U.S. Trade Assoc.) August 13, 2024 “...While predictions are always that the sky is falling for theatrical, the truth is that our industry continues to demonstrate adaptability and resilience — amidst wholesale reinvention and change in the entertainment industry — that should give both movie fans and investors optimism for the future.” First, we entered 2024 knowing that the 2023 labor impasse would be a temporary setback, and we responded by finding new ways to bring consumers through the doors during a difficult time. The impact of the strike was real, but it was also simply the latest hurdle for our industry to overcome. Our industry has not had a “normal” marketplace for a meaningful period in nearly five years. But the success we are seeing this summer–setting box office records for the biggest animated film of all time (Inside Out 2) and the biggest domestic R-rated movie of all time (Deadpool & Wolverine) — is a strong signal that audience loyalty endures when theatres deliver a viewing experience that can’t be found anywhere else. The release of fewer new movies was a temporary setback, not a new reality. Second, we saw continued evidence this year that studios of all sizes are committed to the theatrical experience. Why? Because they understand that the return on investment for a single movie—both culturally and economically—cannot be realized without a robust theatrical release. This is truer than ever in our fractured media environment.
CREATIVE & EVOLVING THE CURRENT STATE OF MOVIE THEATERS (CONT’D) Excerpts from Statement by Michael O'Leary President & CEO of National Assoc. of Theater Owners (U.S. Trade Assoc.) August 13, 2024 Third, young audiences - one of the most desired demographics with the most competing demands on their entertainment time - continue to enthusiastically seek out the big screen. 18-24 year olds made up 31% of Deadpool & Wolverine‘s record-setting $211 million debut, which made them the largest age group to embrace the superhero flick. For Inside Out 2, 51% of the audience was between 18-34, and the largest age group was 13-17 years old with 31%. Last year, young audiences embraced the Barbenheimer phenomenon: 18-24 year olds were the biggest part of Barbie‘s opening weekend with a 27% share, while 18-24 year olds also led all demos with 33% of Oppenheimer‘s debut. The suggestion that young people are not going to the theatre is incorrect. Like audiences of all ages, young people respond when there is something compelling to see. Through dynamic social media campaigns, movie theatres have been able to build a relationship with their customers - particularly young customers - online that creates loyalty and enthusiasm. These campaigns produce a cultural impact that no other out-of-home entertainment option can come close to matching..." "...As an industry, theatrical has demonstrated a resilience and consistency that make us well equipped to continue to evolve and thrive as the entire entertainment industry continues to grapple with change and reinvention."

DISNEY IS MAKING A COMEBACK** 2020-2023 For decades, Disney dominated the global box office, but over the last few years it delivered disappointing box office results, which impacted the global movie theater industry. 2023 box office misfires include: The Marvels, Ant Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, Wish, Haunted Mansion and Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny. And, in 2022, Disney misfired with Strange World and Lightyear. Disney released 10 movies in 2020, 12 movies in 2021, 14 movies in 2022 and 15 in 2023. 2024 In 2024, Disney regained its position as the global box office market leader: At $1.70 billion, Inside Out 2 became the highest grossing movie of 2024 and Deadpool and Wolverine, at $1.34 billion became the second highest grossing movie of 2024. Additionally, Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes and Alien: Romulus, also had strong 2024 runs. Since January 1, 2024, and through December 31, 2024, Disney will have released a total of 31 films through Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Disney Animation, Searchlight and Twentieth Century Fox. 2025-2027 As of today, Disney has announced several movies opening from 2025-2027. And the industry expects that the ultimate number of pictures to be released in each of those years will increase through acquired titles and future announcements. Today, Disney is scheduled to release 13 movies in 2025, 14 movies in 2026 and 13 movies in 2027. **Effective as of 2019, Disney distributes movies from Fox, Searchlight, Marvel Studios, Pixar, Disney and Disney Animation. The above movie release numbers include movies released on both a wide and limited basis. The 2025-2027 release schedule is subject to change and will likely be substantially added to over the next three years as additional movies are acquired or developed.
