Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

On September 28, 2015, Chaohui Liu provided AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (“AMCH”) and its wholly-owned subsidiary, AMC Entertainment Inc. (collectively, “AMC”), with notice of his resignation from the Boards of Directors of AMC (collectively, the “Board”), effective September 28, 2015.  Mr. Liu’s resignation did not involve any disagreement between Mr. Liu and AMC on any matter related to AMC’s operations, policies, practices, or otherwise.

 

On September 29, 2015, the AMCH Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee recommended and the Board elected Jack Q. Gao, the Group Vice President and CEO, International Investments and Business Development at Wanda Group, as a director of AMC, effective immediately.  The board of directors of AMCH also elected Mr. Gao as a member, and as chairman of the Compensation Committee of the board of directors of AMCH.  Mr Gao was elected to fill the vacancy on the Board created by Mr. Liu’s resignation.  Mr. Gao will serve as a Class III director of AMCH with a term expiring at AMCH’s 2016 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

 

Mr. Gao will not receive any compensation as a result of his service on the Board or the Compensation Committee of the board of directors of AMCH.  In connection with his election to the Board, Mr. Gao will enter into an indemnification agreement with AMCH pursuant to which AMCH will agree to indemnify Mr. Gao from certain liabilities that may arise by reason of his status as a director and to advance certain expenses incurred by Mr. Gao.  The form of indemnification agreement was filed as an exhibit to Amendment No. 3 to AMCH’s Form S-1 Registration Statement, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on November 22, 2013, and the terms of the indemnification agreement are incorporated herein by reference.

 

There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Gao and any other person pursuant to which he was selected a director of AMC.  There are no transactions between Mr. Gao and AMC that would be required to be reported under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
