Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On December 20, 2021, AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into an amendment (the “Eleventh Amendment”) to its credit agreement, dated as of April 30, 2013. The Eleventh Amendment extends the fixed date for the termination of the Covenant Suspension Period (as defined below) for one additional year to March 31, 2023.

The Eleventh Amendment was to the credit agreement, dated as of April 30, 2013 (as amended through the eleventh amendment described herein, the “Credit Agreement”), with the lenders from time to time party thereto and Wilmington Savings Fund Society, FSB, as administrative agent, pursuant to which the revolving lenders party thereto (constituting the requisite revolving lenders) granted an extension of the existing suspension of the financial covenant under the Credit Agreement for the period from and after the effective date of the Eleventh Amendment to and including the earlier of (a) March 31, 2023 and (b) the day immediately preceding the last day of the Test Period (as defined in the Credit Agreement) during which the Company has delivered a Financial Covenant Election (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to the administrative agent under the Credit Agreement (such period, the “Covenant Suspension Period”).

During the Covenant Suspension Period, the Company will not, and will not permit any of its restricted subsidiaries to, (i) make certain restricted payments, (ii) subject to certain exceptions, incur any indebtedness for borrowed money that is pari passu or senior in right of payment or security with the Revolving Loans (as defined in the Credit Agreement) or (iii) make any investment in or otherwise dispose of any assets to any subsidiary of the Company that is not a Loan Party (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to facilitate a new financing incurred by a subsidiary of the Company.

As an ongoing condition to the suspension of the financial covenant, the Company also agreed to (i) a minimum liquidity test, (ii) an anti-cash hoarding test at any time Revolving Loans are outstanding and (iii) additional reporting obligations.

The foregoing description of the Eleventh Amendment and the Credit Agreement is not intended to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Eleventh Amendment, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 hereto and is incorporated by reference herein.
