Item 8.01 Other Events.

Annual Meeting of Stockholders

Reading International, Inc. (the "Company") announced today that its Board of Directors (the "Board") has established December 8, 2020 at 11:00 a.m. Pacific Time as the date and time for the next Annual Meeting of Stockholders of the Company (the "2020 Annual Meeting"), to be held virtually. The Board also established the close of business on October 19, 2020 as the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive notice of and to vote at the virtual 2020 Annual Meeting. Details of how to register for and access the virtual 2020 Annual Meeting will be provided in the Company's proxy statement for the 2020 Annual Meeting, to be electronically filed prior to the 2020 Annual Meeting with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.

Stockholder Proposal Submission Deadline

Because the scheduled date of the 2020 Annual Meeting represents a change of more than 30 days from the anniversary of the Company's 2019 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company has set a new deadline for the receipt of stockholder proposals submitted pursuant to the provisions of the proxy rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission for inclusion in the Company's proxy materials for the 2020 Annual Meeting. To be considered for inclusion, such stockholder proposals must be received in writing by the Company at our corporate headquarters at 5995 Sepulveda Blvd, Suite 300, Culver City, CA 90230, Attn: S. Craig Tompkins, Esq., Annual Meeting Secretary, before the close of business on October 16, 2020.

Litigation Update

In addition, the Company announced today that, on October 1, 2020, the Nevada Supreme Court ordered the Trial Court to dismiss the putative Derivative Lawsuit being prosecuted by James J. Cotter, Jr., concluding that Mr. Cotter, Jr. was not an adequate representative of our Company's stockholders. In arriving at this conclusion, the Nevada Supreme Court noted, among other things, that "because one of the main remedies Cotter Jr. is seeking is his reinstatement as CEO, his interests are divergent from the shareholders' interests" and that "Cotter Jr.'s action appears to be vindictively sought in response to his termination as CEO. . ." The Company is now pursuing collection of the approximately $800,000 in costs from Mr. Cotter, Jr. approved by the Nevada Supreme Court, which amount is covered by a bond posted by Mr. Cotter, Jr., in connection with his appeal.
