Item 8.01 Other Events

AMC Entertainment Holdings, Inc. (the “Company”) plans to hold its 2023 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2023 Annual Meeting”) on November 8, 2023, with a September 25, 2023, record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive notice and vote at such meeting. The time and location of the 2023 Annual Meeting will be specified in the 2023 proxy statement. Because the 2023 Annual Meeting will be more than thirty (30) days after the anniversary of the Company’s 2022 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Company is disclosing a new deadline for submission of stockholder proposals for inclusion in the 2023 proxy statement pursuant to Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“the “Exchange Act”). In accordance with Rule 14a-5(f) of the Exchange Act, the Company is hereby informing stockholders that to be considered for inclusion in the 2023 proxy statement, stockholder proposals submitted under Rule 14a-8 of the Exchange Act must be in writing and received by the Corporate Secretary at the Company’s principal offices at One AMC Way, 11500 Ash Street, Leawood, Kansas 66211, no later than 5:00 pm Central Time on August 28, 2023, which the Company has determined to be a reasonable time before it expects to begin to print and send its proxy materials. Such proposals must also comply with the remaining requirements of Rule 14a-8. Any proposal submitted after the foregoing deadline will not be considered timely and will be excluded from the 2023 proxy statement.

Additionally, in accordance with the advance notice provisions set forth in the Company’s Bylaws, in order for a stockholder proposal submitted outside of Rule 14a-8 or a director nomination submitted by a stockholder to be considered timely, it must be received by the Corporate Secretary not earlier than September 9, 2023, and no later than October 9, 2023. In addition to satisfying the foregoing requirements under the Company’s Bylaws, to comply with the universal proxy rules, shareholders who intend to solicit proxies in support of director nominees other than the Company’s nominees must provide notice that sets forth the information required by Rule 14a-19 under the Exchange Act no later than September 11, 2023.
